Chapter 254 To Run or Not to Run
Tao Yaoyang has not been in a very good mood these days.
First of all, several companies he invested in suffered losses. Among them, Star Media suffered losses last year and its performance began to decline.
So this year, Star Media is preparing to launch a big project to turn losses into profits. They first bought the rights to adapt a very popular online novel and TV series, and then invested 80 million to set up a crew and invite a top traffic star. As the male protagonist, he also invited a young actress with great acting skills to play the supporting role for him. This is a powerful combination with a strong sense of cp. I believe it will definitely become a hit drama after it is produced.
After three months of hard work, this TV series that Star Media had high hopes for was finally completed. What follows is intense post-production.
When Star Media was about to complete the production, the top star as the male protagonist suddenly got into trouble. He was accused of participating in multi-person sports and was also exposed to taking drugs. Public opinion was in an uproar.
Although this top star vehemently denied it, wrote a letter from a lawyer, refuted the rumor, and called the police to deal with it, it seemed like a cool rhythm.
Even their 80 million investment from Star Media may be in vain, and the release is far away. Of course, according to current film and television technology, this TV series can be re-released through methods such as face swapping.
Or simply find a new male protagonist and reshoot the male protagonist’s scenes.
However, one will definitely require a lot of additional investment, and the other is that the face-swapping technology has not yet reached the point where it is fake and real. After the face-swapping is replaced, it will definitely affect the audience’s viewing experience. It will look like a bad movie. Rhythm.
What's more, if additional funds are added to change the face or reshoot with a new male protagonist, what if the cost cannot be recovered, or even more losses?
This is obviously a headache for the current leadership of Star Media, including him, the major shareholder.
In the end, they came up with a solution that was not a solution, that is, the TV series was temporarily put on hold until the final result of the top star came out. But for the sake of the market value of Star Media and the interests of shareholders, a new project must be established as soon as possible.
This is what Tao Yaoyang told Chen Feng before, to re-purchase the TV series adaptation rights of a popular online novel, and then bring in more capital to join in. I no longer invested 80 million by myself as foolishly as last time. The risk of doing so was too great.
Of course, at that time, they thought that their investment of 80 million was a guaranteed profit, so they invested all of it, and then they saw that they would lose miserably.
The Star Media matter is not what worries Tao Yaoyang the most. What worries him most is that Hengshen Fund, where he serves as executive director, has suddenly been investigated by the regulatory authorities in recent days.
Unlike in the past, this time the regulatory authorities seem to have some evidence. If it is verified, not to mention that the board of directors of Hengshen Fund will not be sued, the economic losses alone will be in the hundreds of millions. count.
You can imagine how he felt when something like this happened.
In addition, several other companies in which he has shares have also suffered losses to a greater or lesser extent. For example, two hot pot franchise chains in which he has shares have suffered losses for several consecutive months since this year. , it’s simply out of business now.
In short, Tao Yaoyang feels that his time has been really bad recently.
It was precisely because of such losses that Tao Yaoyang sold the high-quality property Villa No. 8 to Chen Feng. Because he needs to mobilize some funds to fill the loopholes of these loss-making businesses.
Especially recently, he has taken a fancy to an emerging Internet company in China. This company has only been established for three years, but its current market valuation has reached more than one billion U.S. dollars, and it is planning to be listed on Nasdaq. . It is foreseeable that as long as this company's IPO is successful, its stock price and market value will definitely skyrocket.
So, as early as more than a month ago, he was actively trying to join this capital feast and trying every means to get the original shares of this company.
For this reason, he spent a lot of favors and money, and finally got a quota, but there was still insufficient funds.
After he borrowed some funds through his connections, the gap was still relatively large. He didn't want to sell off the real estate again, so after much deliberation, he thought of Chen Feng, the "stock god", and wanted to secretly follow the trend and buy a wave of stocks through him, and then make a lot of money.
In this way, he can make up for his financial gap and even have a lot of surplus.
As for the risk of being discovered by Chen Feng, he couldn't care less for the time being. After all, money moved people's hearts, not to mention that he thought that by doing this, Chen Feng's interests were not touched. He just wanted to eat some meat and drink some soup, it was that simple.
And he will keep this matter absolutely confidential, even Zhuo Libin will not be stupid enough to leak it.
However, he never dreamed that when he made up his mind to eat meat and drink soup with Chen Feng today, Chen Feng would start selling stocks. And as soon as it was sold, the stock price immediately fell sharply.
When Zhuo Libin called him, he had just gotten out of the car and was about to walk to his villa. Then he heard the bad news. He was distracted and stumbled in front of the villa. I fell hard on the steps, and my phone fell out. The screen was shattered, my forehead and mouth were hit on the steps, bleeding, and my front teeth were loose.
This is undoubtedly an unlucky day for him!
However, he completely ignored the injury on his face at this time and immediately picked up the phone with a broken screen on the ground. Fortunately, except for the broken screen, other functions were still normal. He immediately logged in to Shenghua Securities and checked Stock information, and then he froze in place not long after, and then he was so angry that he picked up the phone and smashed it on the ground.
Just like that, he returned home from the securities company. In less than half an hour, the stock he valued most fell by 30 cents, and the situation was very clear. There were many large investors. If you sell this stock, then the stock will definitely fall to the limit today.
And he spent nearly 20 million on this stock. According to the current stock price, it has already dropped a lot of money. When it reaches the limit, it will drop by 10%. This is equivalent to a loss of at least 2 million today.
I can only say that it’s really a shame!
Tao Yaoyang really wanted to run and question Chen Feng face to face: Why don't you throw it away early or late? You threw it away when I just finished buying it. Are you kidding me?
But his remaining sense told him that Chen Feng definitely didn't do this on purpose. Chen Feng didn't even know that he would follow suit.
What's more, he knew that Chen Feng's background was unfathomable. If he really questioned him like this, he would definitely get nothing out of it.
So, this mute had no choice but to eat it alive.
Tao Yaoyang forced himself to calm down, then waved his hand to send away the nanny who came after hearing the news. He picked up the mobile phone that he had smashed into scraps, walked quickly to the study, and took out a brand new phone from the drawer. the spare mobile phone, then install the mobile phone card and turn it on.
He immediately called Zhuo Libin and asked, "What's going on? How could Chen Feng just dump this stock so well?"
Zhuo Libin on the other end of the phone said to himself. You ask me who I am asking, but he is very clear about Tao Yaoyang's mood and anger at this time, because he is in a very bad mood right now, and he is holding a fire in his heart, but it is difficult to vent it.
To be honest, Zhuo Libin has the right to question Tao Yaoyang. After all, he wants to give Tao Yaoyang 5 million in consulting fees, but in this situation, if he really wants to give it, he will definitely not be willing to do so. "I don't know either. We can only blame us for being so unlucky. If he had been an hour earlier, no, only half an hour earlier, we wouldn't have followed up and bought it. Alas! This luck is too bad. "
Looking at the current decline of this stock, it is basically a foregone conclusion that it will fall to the limit today. In other words, the 10 million he spent on this stock will also fall. Go for a million. Really bad! Zhuo Libin almost wanted to curse.
"Fuck you!" Tao Yaoyang started scolding in a depressed manner at this time. He completely lost his elegance and said to Zhuo Libin in a bad tone, "Now give me your professional opinion, should I sell this stock tomorrow?" Stop the loss? Also, to be on the safe side, should we also sell the other four stocks tomorrow?”
Hearing this, Zhuo Libin looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: “Hold on. Sorry! I really can't give you any advice now. This... you have to decide for yourself. I can only say that if you are not in a hurry to use money, it is better to withdraw first."
< br>Zhuo Libin's advice can be considered very prudent. At least he plans to sell all the five stocks he bought this time after the market opens tomorrow and stop the losses in time.
As the general manager of a securities branch, his first and most important quality is stability, and he must not be radical, otherwise something will happen sooner or later.
The most important quality of stock trading is actually the same as gambling, that is, quit when you see gains, run when you lose, resist temptation, and be able to stop losses in time.
Zhuo Libin's mentality in this regard is relatively calm and open-minded.
To put it another way, he lost one million on this stock today, but he also made hundreds of thousands on the other four stocks. Calculating this way, he lost hundreds of thousands. If tomorrow Throw it away and stop the loss in time. He can still afford to lose these hundreds of thousands.
But Tao Yaoyang's mentality is different. He is very optimistic about the technology company this time, and he finally got through the relationship to get the original shares. When the time comes to buy the original shares, he only needs to wait until this If a company's IPO is successful, his net worth will increase several times. How can he give up because of a shortage of funds?
"Mr. Zhuo, from your professional perspective, will these five stocks rise in the future?"
"It's hard to say. I can talk nonsense to others, but I can only tell you the truth. Stocks are really hard to predict unless you have real inside information, you know what I mean?"
"Okay, I understand. I'll think about it carefully before I make a decision."
"Okay, Mr. Tao, you think about it carefully before making a decision."
"Well, thank you, next. I’ll treat you to dinner.”
“You’re welcome.”
< br>After hanging up the phone, Tao Yaoyang almost smashed the new phone again, but this time he finally controlled his emotions, wiped the blood on his face and mouth with a tissue, and then opened the cigar on the desk. box, take one out, cut it, bake it with a match, and light it.
After this set of procedures and the inhalation of a puff of cigar smoke into his lungs, his mood finally calmed down.
Thinking about it carefully, although the current situation is not very good, it has not reached the point where everything is lost. He still has the opportunity to continue to eat meat and drink soup with Chen Feng. After all, Chen Feng has not sold the other four stocks yet.
What's more, except for the stock sold by Chen Feng today, the rest of the stocks are rising.
After Tao Yaoyang comforted himself for a while, he finally felt better.
However, he also knew that this was very unsafe, especially after Chen Feng's sudden sell-off, there was really no sense of security for him.
So, after thinking carefully in the study for a while, he decided to test Chen Feng's tone.
After drafting a lot in his mind, Tao Yaoyang put down the cigar in his mouth, picked up his cell phone, took a deep breath, found Chen Feng's cell phone number, and called him.
"Chen Feng, it's me. Are you free tonight? Let's come out and have a nice get-together?"
Chen Feng didn't expect that Tao Yaoyang would ask him out. This was too frequent. , they just had dinner together at Wenhuaju yesterday.
“Sorry, I’m not free tonight.”
Chen Feng naturally refused. Although he knew that Tao Yaoyang had a great background, he really had no intention of currying favor with him. He just wants to live his little life well. As long as you are wealthy and quiet, there is no need to deliberately expand your social circle.
Tao Yaoyang was not surprised when he heard Chen Feng's rejection, because he had long known that Chen Feng was very low-key, so he just followed the words and said, "Then I'm really disappointed. I originally wanted to ask you out tonight. , I want to learn from you.”
“What kind of scriptures do you want to learn from?” Chen Feng asked with some confusion.
Tao Yaoyang said with a smile: "There are mainly two aspects. One is your ability and technique in picking up girls. I finally saw it last night. The four women you brought are all interesting to you. Especially That Hong Xiaodan, she is fair and rich, her family is very rich, and she is actually chasing you. I really don’t know how you did it, and I really want to ask you Please give me some advice.
The other thing is, I know that you are a full-time stock trader and you look very powerful, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to afford Zhixin and I’s villa, right? So, I just want to learn from you. Recommend a few stocks to me. I can give you a consulting fee, or simply give you a commission. ”
Chen Feng really doesn't understand the ability to pick up girls, because he has always been a straight man. Except for Liu Ying when he was a freshman, he never seriously pursued other women, including his ex-wife Shen Lin. Many women turned to him first.
As for his ability to trade stocks, let alone him. Where did he get the secret? It was entirely due to his own European Emperor attributes and unlucky luck.
“You’ve got the wrong person. I’ve never picked up girls when I was growing up, but girls came to pick up on me. As for stock trading, believe it or not, my level is not the same. It’s very average, but I’ve always had better luck. So, it’s really hard to give you stock picking or any experience.”
When Tao Yaoyang heard what he said, he was so angry that he almost wanted to scold her for calling her that. Have you always had better luck? This is obviously cheating and insider trading.
"Chen Feng, it's rare for me to ask you for this small favor. Can't you help me? Forget about your ability to pick up girls, but you have to help me with stock trading. I hope you can give me at least a recommendation. For two stocks, you can rest assured that the consulting fees and commissions that should be paid to you will definitely not be less.”
