Tao Liangchen
Chapter 646 Forum and Public Relations
This was the University of Hong Kong, after all, Zheng Yongwen's home turf.
Because Su Yehao was so influential, the president and members of the board of the University of Hong Kong made time to come and show their support, as long as they were available. Zheng Yongwen's self-praise often drew applause, and the forum was quite effective.
As for Su Yehao, who sat on the side, he perfectly played the role of a tool, answering questions with only a few words, appearing to be lacking in knowledge, which was in stark contrast to Zheng Yongwen's ostentation.
This was the plan all along.
Anyone who had seen the interview video would likely think, "Su Yehao was lucky enough to seize the opportunity to make money because he had an advisor like Zheng Yongwen."
In short.
Su Yehao wasn't lacking fame; he was better off making a fortune quietly.
This time, *The Wall Street Journal* called him the Asian sniper who ignited the NASDAQ powder keg. The nickname was cool, but it also had the suspicion of overpraising him.
If he were really foolish enough to accept it, Su Yehao's business in Silicon Valley would be difficult to conduct in the future. People would criticize him, thinking that he climbed to the top by stepping on the corpses of his Silicon Valley counterparts.
In this way, both Yanwenzi Group and Google, and even the semiconductor business in preparation, would be negatively affected.
From a long-term perspective, the interests involved were more than just these billions of dollars.
You should know that Su Yehao was wholeheartedly dismantling the old nests of Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, pulling lithography machines, semiconductors, and internet talents into his embrace.
Under such circumstances, the less attention he attracted, the better. The ancestors' saying of making a fortune in silence was especially suitable for his current situation.
Below the stage.
Little Nizi and Jiang Yu also came to join in the fun today.
They weren't interested in the content of the conversation. They had heard enough of Su Yehao's nagging at home.
At this moment.
Jiang Yu stared at Su Yehao, and whispered to Nangong Tian, "Ah-hao is really bad. Look at the show he's putting on today. Isn't it like some shrewd women pretending to be silly in front of men in order to lower their guard?"
For a moment, Nangong Tian even thought she was implying herself.
But then she thought it was unlikely. After all, the two of them were closer than sisters now, and their relationship was so good that they even slept in the same bed. Besides, Nangong Tian didn't think she was pretending to be silly; she was obviously very witty and smart.
So.
Little Nizi said reassuringly:
"Yes, if someone really thinks that Brother Hao is uneducated, then they will fall into the pit he dug. Just like Brother Hao often says, a big tree attracts the wind. The honor he doesn't need is very important to Mr. Zheng Yongwen. If Mr. Zheng is really brought into the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, will he still have to worry about not making money in the future? Not only making money, but the influence is more important. All the Hong Kong listed companies and the bosses who want to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will give Brother Hao face."
After hearing this, Jiang Yu suddenly understood, feeling that it made a lot of sense.
It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Yu suddenly understood why Su Yehao was so enthusiastic about the reform of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, even though he was usually such a lazy person.
She thought it was for making money, but it turned out that there was a deeper meaning of expanding influence in it...
On the stage.
The host asked about the judgment of the NASDAQ market trend. Zheng Yongwen was confident at this time, holding the microphone and said:
"The NASDAQ bubble has been too big in the past two years. After last week's adjustment, if it stabilizes this Monday, it also means that investors have confidence in the market. However, the NASDAQ index fell again by 2.51% on Monday, and it fell again today, which is enough to show that investors are withdrawing. The next support point may be around 4,000 points."
"You asked me how I view the follow-up trend, I can only say that the short position I advised Su Shao to invest in has not changed at all. Thank you, Su Shao, for valuing my decision so much. Although we are twenty years apart in age, he is indeed a qualified entrepreneurial partner..."
Su Yehao interjected next to him: "Yes, just like Mr. Munger and Mr. Buffett, yw·Zheng is the real Asian sniper, and no one can compare to his vision of the market."
Many European and American media were invited today. Su Yehao believed that they would be moved by his sincerity and turn to tout Zheng Yongwen's ability.
He himself shorting and being persuaded by a financial advisor to short, seem like the same thing.
In fact, one is active, with malice, and the other is passively asking someone to help with financial management, which seems very lucky.
In order not to let his halo be added, admired by others, Su Yehao even took the initiative to criticize himself, for the first time publicly mentioning the fact that he lost money before the Spring Festival, and said that with Zheng Yongwen's help, it was immediately different.
Seeing him tout Zheng Yongwen so much, the ignorant people thought that he really admired Zheng Yongwen, the vice president of the School of Finance and Business Management, which made many rich people present itchy, and planned to interact with him more in the future and seek some investment advice.
A one-and-a-half-hour forum.
Plus a half-hour question-and-answer session with reporters.
The move to shift the line of sight seems to be very effective, and there are more reporters asking Zheng Yongwen questions than asking Su Yehao. .
The so-called sincerity refers to each red envelope containing $10,000, plus a double experience voucher for a Maldives island tour, where you can check in for free for three days.
When the reporters were interviewing, the Hi Garden Hotel helped them clean up the room, and the things had been placed on their bedside tables according to the registration information, with an attached brief introduction to the content of the requested article.
The so-called Western media independence, freedom of speech, etc., just listen to it as fun, otherwise people would not call them "uncrowned kings."
The few famous reporters who came today can also get additional remuneration for the manuscript, such as the representative of *The Wall Street Journal*, who Su Yehao gritted his teeth and paid special attention to. A check for six figures had been prepared in advance, and the public relations would help stuff it to the other party.
——————————
The money was spent in place, and Su Yehao personally cooperated in acting.
In Hong Kong, at more than nine o'clock in the evening, he received several American newspapers faxed over, namely *The New York Times*, *The Wall Street Journal*, *The Los Angeles Times*, etc., as well as early morning news recordings from several TV stations.
Other small newspapers with insufficient influence were directly filtered out by the assistant's office. At the same time, they were also using online platforms to promote and strive to shape Zheng Yongwen into a speculator like Soros.
"Look at this article in *The Wall Street Journal*, the title is "The Dominator of the NASDAQ Index Stopping Updates on March 7th, Revenge from Hong Kong - yw·Zheng". Those reporters are so realistic, they got the benefits and it really is different."
Su Yehao handed the newspaper to Nong Qingying. This girl was lying on the bed applying a facial mask, and the slender, fair neck contrasted sharply with the color of the volcanic mud mask.
Nong Qingying asked curiously, "Revenge? What revenge?"
"Soros' revenge for sniping the Hong Kong dollar. The reporter's head moves so fast, even these old calendars have been turned out. The New York newspaper must be very popular this morning. Let him bear it silently, just don't involve me."
Su Yehao turned over and said with disgust, "How long are you going to apply it? I didn't sleep well in the morning, let's get it done quickly..."
