Chapter 120: Turn enemies into friends and use them to my advantage
Brother Xiao Ma is still wondering why retail investors and institutions were controlled by Yang Chen's Weibo. The stock price of Penguin Holdings has fallen below the 400 Hong Kong dollar mark.
The secretary hurriedly said: "Oh, it fell below 400! Chairman Ma, what should we do now?"
The positive performance has been digested by the rising stock price, and the newly signed cooperation agreement is useless. Now the only option is for shareholders to increase their holdings. This is the most direct and effective way to increase the stock price.
"Contact the representatives of the top ten shareholders and I will hold a video conference with them." Xiao Ma instructed.
The secretary nodded and hurried back to the office to call the representatives of the top ten shareholders.
Half an hour later, the video conference was successfully held.
Brother Xiao Ma explained the current situation to the shareholder representatives and asked everyone to invest in increasing their holdings in Penguin Holdings to increase the stock price.
Kusbeck, the president of the South African Newspaper Group, the major shareholder, said: "Is Yang Chen crazy? Why are you shorting even your own companies?"
Pacquiao, the president of BlackRock, the third largest shareholder, was a little frightened when he heard Yang Chen's name. He immediately said: "I hate the name Yang Chen. I have lost to him several times. Can you not lose again this time?" ”
Buckley, Pacquiao's good friend and the president of Vanguard, followed up and said: "I feel an inexplicable fear when I hear Yang Chen's name now. I don't want to lose, so let's beat him once."< br>
Pinto, President of JPMorgan Chase, said: "I have lost to him several times, and I really want to win once."
Thomson Andrew, the president of Puxin Group, the ninth largest shareholder, burst out laughing, and then he joked: "Did I hear you right? Are Pacquiao and Barkley afraid of losing already?"
Pacquiao rolled his eyes at Andrew and said tit for tat: "If you have the ability to call Yang Chen, say you want to challenge him. If you can hold the stock price of Puxin Group, I will give you 100 million eagle coins. Do you dare?" br>
Buckley immediately followed up and said: "That's right, if you dare to call and provoke Yang Chen, if Puxin Group's stock price does not fall by more than half, I will also give you 100 million eagle coins. Don't step on the horse's door, hey, it's a man, you call now Give it to him"
Andrew laughed and joked: "I have no enmity with him, so why should I provoke him?"
"Then shut up!" Pacquiao said angrily.
Brother Ma saw that something was wrong with the momentum. Why were they fighting among themselves before the matter was settled?
Brother Ma quickly said: "Stop it, stop it, stop it! We must now work together to protect the share price of Penguin Holdings. I hope everyone can mobilize funds to increase their stock holdings. Let me first express my position. I personally invested 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in the global fund under my name. We will invest 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to increase our holdings of Penguin Holdings’ shares. Shareholders, please make a statement.”
BlackRock President Pacquiao immediately said: "Mr. Ma, are you wrong? Yang Chen has spent billions on short selling, and you have only increased your holdings by this little. Do you think it is useful? You have to add at least one more Zero will do.”
Buckley, President of Vanguard, followed up and said: "That's right! Your increase in holdings of such a small amount of funds gives everyone the feeling that you have no confidence in Penguin Holdings. If you don't have confidence, how can you make investors have confidence? My requirements are not high. , I just want to win against Yang Chen. This time I will use all the funds that Longguo District can use to increase my holdings, which is about 8 billion dragon coins. I hope that all shareholders, especially Mr. Ma, will also be determined to win! ”
Pacquiao immediately said: "I only have one request, to beat Yang Chen once. We have almost 10 billion dragon coins in the funds available, and I have also transferred all of them to increase my holdings of Penguin Holdings' stocks. Penguin Holdings' performance is very impressive. , the market value is high enough, and our status in the Dragon Kingdom is also very high. We hope that Mr. Ma and all shareholders will show sincerity and we can defeat Yang Chen once. I am so eager for this victory." br>
The two CEOs have already talked to each other to this extent, and Xiao Ma is too embarrassed to be so petty and use 1 billion level funds to increase his holdings.
Brother Ma said very firmly: "Okay, then I will also show my sincerity! I will personally invest 20 billion, and the Global Foundation under my name will invest 10 billion. This time I must defeat Yang Chen!"
Brother Ma showed enough sincerity, and other shareholders were also unequivocal and expressed their stance to spend billions to tens of billions to increase their stock holdings.
After confirming the amount of everyone's investment, Xiao Ma ordered his secretary to immediately draw up a shareholding increase announcement. At the same time, he personally wrote a proposal for all shareholders not to sell stocks and increase their stock holdings, and sent it out together with the shareholding increase announcement.
Not long after the shareholding increase announcement and proposal were issued, Penguin Holdings' share price retreated and once again stood stubbornly above the 400 Hong Kong dollar mark.
Brother Xiao Ma said very happily: "The effect of increasing stock holdings is obvious. I recovered the 400 Hong Kong dollars lost in an instant. Dear shareholders, let's act together and increase our stock holdings according to the promised amount."
< br>
The shareholders nodded and exited the video conference to get busy.
At this time, Sihai Investment Department.
Zhao Jing said to Yang Chen: "Director Yang, Penguin issued a shareholding increase announcement, and Brother Ma also issued an initiative, advocating that all shareholders should not sell. If it is convenient, I hope they can continue to buy."
Huang Wei followed up and said: "I calculated it and found that the top ten shareholders invested a total of 65 billion to increase their holdings. No wonder the stock price rose back to 400 in an instant."
Chen Xi asked: "Director Yang, what should we do now?"
In fact, there is no need to do anything. No matter how much the stock price of Penguin Holdings rises, it will eventually fall. When Yang Chen closes his position, the stock price will stop falling.
However, it would be too fake if he did nothing, so he might as well find something to pretend to do.
Yang Chen said with a smile: "Short-selling in stocks should actually be considered a psychological category. Publishing short-selling reports, exposing negative news about short-sold companies, etc. The purpose of these actions is to persuade retail investors and institutional investors to psychologically agree with the remarks and actions of the short-sellers. behavior. When most investors agree When the words and deeds of short sellers are activated, they will sell the stocks they hold, and the stock price will continue to fall. Today I will teach you how to persuade retail investors to psychologically agree with us without short selling reports or negative news about the target company. Short selling behavior.”
Apart from anything else, Yang Chen's screenwriting ability is really strong, and he can make up a theory that can be justified anytime and anywhere.
Zhao Jing and others stupidly took their notebooks and carefully recorded Yang Chen's words. They felt that Yang Chen's theory was more practical and effective than the theory in books.
Yang Chen opened Weibo and posted a new update.
"I just saw that Penguin Holdings issued an announcement on increasing its holdings. Mr. Ma also suggested that everyone should not sell stocks and continue to buy and increase their holdings. Do you know what the spirit of this is? This is the spirit of great love that is not self-serving but exclusively beneficial to others. Everyone. Remember, these shareholders bought 65 billion yuan around 400 Hong Kong dollars. When the stock price fell to 2 If we buy it within 00, we will reach the cost price of these shareholders only after we have doubled the profit. In other words, when the stock price falls below 200, it is a safe zone. If you have funds ready, we can buy it within 200. If you can’t have a good year, it depends on this wave of operations.”
What he said was just random nonsense, but under the influence of the system, it became the truth.
Retail investors and institutional investors who were still waiting on the sidelines hurriedly sold their Penguin Holdings shares. Penguin Holdings' stock price fell below the 400 mark again and quickly rushed towards the 300 mark.
Huang Wei said in surprise: "Oh, Director Yang's Weibo really had an effect. Penguin's stock price fell again, to 380! Director Yang's theory is really effective. Short selling is indeed a psychological category."
Zhao Jing then said: "I feel that college textbooks should be updated. The backward financial knowledge no longer meets contemporary needs."
Bai Zhi followed up and said: "I also feel that the knowledge I learned before is a bit wrong, and I always feel that there is something missing. I think finance and economics universities should invite Yang Chen to give lectures, or compile textbooks so that students can learn more practical knowledge. , much better than learning those backward theoretical knowledge.”
Oops, Yang Chen felt a little embarrassed after saying this.
Yang Chen said with a smile: "You guys are just sweet-tongued and choose nice things to say to me."
This time, Chen Chao came over with a report.
"Director Yang, we have shorted Penguin Holdings shares with a market value of about 80 billion yuan, and the total market value has been shorted at 120 billion yuan. In addition, we have also issued short options worth 50 billion Hong Kong dollars. You see, we need to continue to add more Is there a lot of short selling?" Chen Chaohui reported, and handed the report form to Yang Chen for review.
Yang Chen took a look and said with a smile: "Penguin still has a market value of 3.5 trillion. It's not enough for us to be short. You guys should learn from it. I will teach you another trick to "turn enemies into friends and help me" "Used". Ah Chao, you contact Penguin's major shareholders and ask them to lend us their stocks. After we close our positions, we will buy them back and pay them 6%. At the same time, we promise that the stock price will return to the level before the end of the year. 400 and above.”
Chen Chao asked with a shocked look on his face: "This... can it still be done like this? Haha... Director Yang is really amazing. This move is a huge blow to the bottom of the pot. Even if Brother Ma throws all his belongings into it, he still can't stabilize the stock price. Haha..."
Regarding this matter, Chen Xi asked: "Are those shareholders willing to lend us stocks? The main thing is how to convince them that we will bring the stock price back to 400 Hong Kong dollars?"
Yang Chen said with a smile: "Other shareholders may not believe it, but those BlackRock shareholders who have dealt with me several times will definitely believe that I have such ability. They all make money through wealth investment, as long as they make money, They will definitely be moved.”
"Ah? Do you still want to borrow stocks from those shareholders of BlackRock? They just announced that they will increase their holdings. How could they lend us the stocks to sell and suppress the stock price?" Huang Wei asked with a puzzled look.
Yang Chen explained: "So this is a strategy to kill two birds with one stone. As long as they lend out stocks, they will not increase their stock holdings. Brother Ma's own tens of billions of funds alone cannot make a splash. Ah Chao, Do as I say.”
Chen Chao nodded and quickly ran back to the investment department to follow Yang Chen's instructions.
Chen Lan smiled and said: "Director Yang, I think your plan is unlikely to succeed. If I were the CEO of BlackRock, I have lost to you several times and finally had a chance to defeat you. I wouldn't be able to defeat you once." Help you short.”
The other five companies also expressed the same idea. They did not believe that BlackRock and other shareholders would accept Yang Chen's cooperation plan.
Yang Chen said with a smile: "Really? Let's make a bet. If my plan succeeds, we will play a game of Russian roulette tonight. If my plan fails, each person will get a gold bracelet. Bet or not ?”
Chen Xi asked with a studious look on his face: "What is the game of Russian Roulette?"
Yang Chen smiled coquettishly and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't know. I'll teach you step by step. Just tell me whether you dare to take the gamble."
"Someone wants to give me a gold bracelet, why not?" Huang Wei said with a smug look on her face.
Gao Ya followed up and said, "That's right, someone wants to give a gold bracelet as a gift. We can't let someone down."
Zhao Jing and others immediately expressed their willingness to take the gamble.
Yang Chen smiled and made an OK gesture, and said: "Then let's wait for the news."
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Chen Chao ran into Yang Chen's office excitedly.
"Director Yang, you are really amazing. Belletti's companies have agreed to lend us their shares at today's closing price of 368.56 Hong Kong dollars, and they also said they will no longer increase their holdings in Penguin Holdings. This is completely in line with Your expectations." Chen Chao reported excitedly.
Lu Mei looked shocked, could this be successful?
"Let me tell you, they actually agreed?" Huang Wei said with a look of disbelief.
Chen Xi then said: "Director Yang's prediction is really accurate. As expected, they only need to make profits."
Zhao Jing said: "I think they were frightened by Director Yang's short-selling ability. They knew in their hearts that if they tried hard with Director Yang, the results would be disastrous. Now they can not only get a 6% profit, but also ensure that the stock price will return to the end of the year." Over 400, they can make a lot of money without doing anything, so why not? "I really want to know how Xiao Ma will feel when he finds out. I think his mentality will explode," Chen Lan said with a smile.
Yang Chen turned off the computer and said: "Whether his mentality will explode is not something we should consider. Let's go home from get off work and play games."
Lu Mei quickly went to the secretary's office next door to pack her things and go home to play Russian roulette with Yang Chen.
The air was full of excitement on the way home, and just thinking about the scene of the six beauties gathered in a circle made people's blood boil.
Yang Chen sent a message to Chang Sheng, CEO of Sihai Health.
"Ah Sheng, send a box of high-concentration physical strength-increasing liquid to my house. By the way, go to the gold store and buy 6 identical gold bracelets, the kind that cost more than 100,000. Send a piece to me in the villa. I will transfer the money to you at the bank tomorrow. You.”
Chang Sheng quickly replied to the message.
"Okay, Director Yang, I'll do it right away."
Yang Chen brought Lu Mei home, and the two aunts had already prepared dinner.
"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Liu, I'll give you a day off tonight. You go home to see your family and come back tomorrow morning. Take these bottles of wine and share them with your family when you go home." Yang Chen said with a smile, and gave them to The two aunts had two bottles of brandy imported from France.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
The two aunties thanked them and left with the wine.
After Yang Chen and the others finished eating, Chang Sheng's gift arrived.
A box of high-concentration stamina-increasing liquid, and 6 bracelets worth 999 pure gold.
Yang Chen nodded with a smile, gave Chang Sheng two bottles of red wine, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I can't finish the wine that old bastard Wang Sihai kept in the wine cellar. You can take a bottle and try it."
Chang Sheng took the red wine and thanked him excitedly: "Thank you, Director Yang. Thank you, Director Yang. I'll leave then. If you need anything, please call me anytime."
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying: "Yes. Walk slowly and drive carefully."
Chang Sheng nodded happily, happily took the wine and left.
Yang Chen moved the things into the house and said loudly: "Babies, come and receive the gifts. After receiving the gifts, you must work harder to play games later."
……
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Yang Chen finally woke up. The bottles all over the room showed that they had a great time playing games last night.
Yang Chen stretched and squeezed his sore muscles. Seeing that it was already ten o'clock, he quickly picked up his mobile phone and called Chen Chao.
"Hey, Ah Chao, how is things going?" Yang Chen asked.
Chen Chao immediately replied: "It's done. BlackRock, Vanguard, PricewaterhouseCoopers, State Street, JPMorgan Chase, Fidelity Investments, these Bald Eagle investment companies have all lent us stocks. , with a total of 830 million shares and a market value of 305.9 billion, the stock price has hit 220 Hong Kong dollars in one step. Now the market is panicking, retail investors and institutions are selling like crazy, and it should soon break the 200 mark. "
Yang Chen laughed happily and said: "Well done. Don't worry about foodies under 200, I require foodies to eat."
Chen Chao quickly replied: "Okay. I remember."
At this time, all major trading software, financial news platforms, Weibo, Douyin and other social platforms were wiped out by the Penguin plunge.
Tonghua Finance: Big news! Penguin Holdings fell more than 40% during the session, and its market value of 1.5 trillion was wiped out. Yang Chen once again demonstrated his super short-selling ability. Even a giant company like Penguin Holdings was manipulated.
Caixin: Yesterday, Ma Tengfei led the top ten shareholders of Penguin Holdings to issue a shareholding increase announcement. Today, Penguin Holdings’ stock price plummeted. So far, it has dropped 42%, and its market value has dropped by 1.5 trillion in a single day. The current decline is unabated, the pressure on selling orders is huge, and there are strong signs of falling below 200. Yang Chen said he would drive Penguin's stock price below 200, and he really wanted to do it. This terrifying short-selling ability is unparalleled by anyone.
……
Netizens who watched the excitement also left messages and comments.
"Yesterday, Brother Ma made an announcement to increase stock holdings with RMB 65 billion. I thought they could save Penguin's stock price. Co-authoring is just to make money and has no effect at all."
"I'm a graduate student in finance. I'll tell you the truth. I really don't understand what Yang Chen is doing. Why did Penguin Holdings' stock price plummet? Who can understand how Yang Chen succeeded? Please tell us Explain, I really want to learn.”
"Looks like I have to sell my house. How many opportunities can I have in my life? If I miss this opportunity, I may never see it again in my life. The timid will be starved to death, and the bold will be starved to death. I will study with Boss Yang within 200. ! ”
……
Not only netizens can't understand it, professionals can't understand it either, and Brother Ma can't understand it even more. He obviously spent money to increase his holdings, so why did the stock price fall even more fiercely?
The secretary hurried in and said with a panic look on his face: "Dr. Ma, those BlackRock companies betrayed us! They lent their stocks to Yang Chen and they were selling the stocks, so you increased your holdings by more than two hundred Even a billion dollars can’t stop the stock price from plummeting!”
Xiao Ma stood up excitedly and asked: "Are you mistaken? Is it really them?"
The secretary nodded and said: "Absolutely, they are rebelling!"
"Damn it!" Brother Ma gritted his teeth and cursed, slapping the table angrily, and then he said to his secretary: "Contact them immediately to hold a video conference!"
The secretary nodded and hurried to make arrangements.
More than half an hour later, the video conference began.
Ma broke the defense and cursed: "Pacquiao, what do you guys mean? We agreed to increase our stock holdings together. Not only did you not increase your holdings, you also lent the stocks to Yang Chen and sold them to suppress the stock price. You are stepping on the horse. They are all damn traitors!”
Kusbeck, the president of South Africa Newspapers, the major shareholder, said with a look of shock: "What? You guys lent the stocks to Yang Chen and sold them to suppress the stock price? Why? Why did you do this? You kept saying that you lost to Yang Chen several times This time, I have to win against him no matter what. I just got the funds, and you all rebelled before I could increase my holdings? Are you worthy of your conscience?"
Pacquiao smiled and explained: "We don't want to either, but Yang Chen gave us too much. He said that after he closes his position, he will return us the same number of stocks and give us a 6% remuneration. We also want to pay more I will increase my holdings of some stocks at low prices, so I agree to this. The plan is to officially increase our holdings once he lowers the stock price to less than 200. We are still very optimistic about Penguin’s future development and will definitely support him in the long term. We have already lost to him several times and we are not afraid of losing again.”
Listen, listen, is this something that a human being can say?
I vowed before that I would definitely win against Yang Chen this time, but now I am talking such undignified nonsense.
Buckley, President of Pioneer, followed up and said: "We are wealth investment, and the main purpose is to make money. The opportunity to make money is given to us, and we have no reason not to want it. As for winning or losing, it is not that important in fact, making money is Kingly. If you can make us a lot of money, you can even humiliate me in person.”
Several other shareholders have the same idea. They don't want to give up the opportunity to make money, let alone an opportunity to increase their holdings at a low level.
Ponyboy scolded angrily: "Farke! You are all traitors, villains, shameless people! You don't deserve to hold Penguin Holdings' stocks, you don't deserve it!"
Pacquiao smiled and said: "It's not up to you to decide whether we deserve it or not. We are all independent individuals and companies. We have the right to operate independently and you have no right to interfere. The increase in holdings we promised will not change, but we need to Wait until the stock price falls below 200 before increasing your holdings.”
Brother Ma roared angrily: "If it falls below 200, why do you still need to increase your holdings? You..."
Pacquiao directly withdrew from the video conference, and several other Bald Eagle shareholders also withdrew.
Now only Ma Ge and South African newspaper president Kusbeck are left.
Kusbeck sighed and said: "Since the stock price is close to 200, let's wait until it falls below 200 before increasing our holdings. Mr. Ma, don't be angry. Their investment companies have the sole purpose of making profits. You are counting on them." Defending corporate sovereignty is impossible.”
Brother Xiao Ma quickly said: "No, if the stock price falls below 200, it means Yang Chen wins. How will I meet people in the future? I will be taught a lesson by a fledgling young man? Mr. Kusbeck, You start to increase your holdings immediately. Let's work together to keep the stock price above 200 and never let it fall below 200. Help me, okay?"
Kusbeck shook his head and said: "Mr. Ma, I'm sorry, I can't risk investors' real money. I'm quitting too, bye."
Xiao Ma stared blankly at the camera. After a while, he suddenly burst into anger and threw the computer.
It's useless for Xiao Ma to be angry. Under the influence of Yang Chen's [short selling will succeed] skill, as long as Yang Chen comes to the door, these shareholders will help Yang Chen short selling without any control.
"I must defend my honor. The 200 mark must not be broken!" Xiao Ma said to himself.
If you can't understand Brother Xiao Ma's mood, you can use a metaphor to guess his mood. An old monster in the Yuanying stage who has been famous for many years is openly challenged by a rookie in the Qi training stage of a down-and-out sect. The old monster in the Yuanying stage has been beaten. Half dead, whatever mood he would feel at this moment, that was exactly how Xiao Ma was feeling.
Angry, unwilling, dissatisfied, unscrupulous...
Brother Ma immediately convened the board of directors and shareholders meeting, and he wanted to complete the last two big moves, employee stock ownership and repurchase and cancellation.
These two big moves were sent out at the same time, and as he continued to increase his holdings personally, he did not believe that he could not bring back the share price of Penguin Holdings.
Penguin Group is the Internet giant of the Dragon Kingdom. It is impossible for such a big commotion to go unattended.
A certain department immediately sent a working group to interview Yang Chen and Xiao Ma...
