Chapter 263 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, the rice company faces a life or death moment
"Breaking News! Rebus, the head of the rice company, has been arrested by the ancient Xiang Kingdom police on suspicion of illegal transfer of funds. Where should the newly listed rice company go? 》
《Breaking News! Rice Company CEO and CEO Rebus lost contact for more than ten hours, and Guxiang Kingdom did not respond at this time. 》
《Shocked! Ancient Xiang Kingdom is in the process of liquidating the assets of a rice company with a scale of over 10 billion. How big of a trap has Rebus made? 》
People in Shenzhen City are still sleeping, and they have no idea that during the "power outage storm" at night, explosive news on Hong Kong Island across the shore continued.
Mainstream media such as Hong Kong Daily, Phoenix Channel, and Island TV all posted news of Rebus’ arrest on social media.
No one expected that the rice company, which had just been listed on the Hong Kong stock market with great fanfare and drums and gongs and drums for less than half a month, would have "bad" news that its boss was arrested.
“It’s over, it’s over!”
The Imperial Capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
Rice Company Headquarters.
Vice President Lu Weibing was anxious in his office. From time to time he took out his cell phone to call Rebus for verification.
Since he was not in the circle of top bosses, Luo Hao did not notify him at all.
On the one hand, it is useless to tell him. After all, this matter is beyond their capabilities, and Guofei is helpless even if he is re-elected.
On the one hand, they are afraid that the news will spread and cause irreparable losses to the rice company.
Because the development in Ancient Elephant Kingdom was so smooth, after the Chinese New Year, Rebus went to Hong Kong Island to apply for listing.
A company with a market value of 100 billion came to apply, and Hong Kong Island quickly passed the approval.
Currently, Rice Company has issued 2.1 billion shares in the Hong Kong stock market. The price per share is 17 yuan. The opening price on the first day was 15 yuan and the closing price was 18 yuan.
After more than half a month of listing, the stock price of Rice Company has been stable at around 20 yuan, which is a stable growth trend.
Now that Rebus was arrested, news is flying all over the place. This is not only a personal issue, but also the risk of the rice company’s overseas business being liquidated.
Externally, the stock price may plummet.
Internally, the revenue plate may shrink.
"We can't wait any longer. We must refute the rumors before the Hong Kong stock market opens. Mr. Lei, you must be safe." Lu Weibing murmured to himself.
The words fell.
He immediately contacted the public relations department.
Now that Rebus is away, he needs to take charge of this 100 billion company.
The public relations department of Rice, which was still sleeping, was woken up urgently, and everyone rushed back to the company to make suggestions.
Rebus was arrested. This is not a simple public relations task. Maybe the rice company will become history.
"Immediately contact the media in Hong Kong and resolutely refute the rumors that Mr. Lei has been arrested. No matter what method is used, silence the media first."
"I will do it immediately."< br>
“How to refute rumors in China?”
"Keep silent."
"By the way, the Hong Kong side will contact the law firm immediately and issue a lawyer's letter first to refute the rumors."
"Okay, Brother Qiang."
In the public relations department of Rice Company, employees have begun to get busy.
Anyone who has worked in the public relations department knows that this department is a department that maintains troops for a thousand days and only uses troops for a short time. If a major adverse event occurs in the company, it is time for them to go to work.
……
Dragon Kingdom Hong Kong Island.
The Hong Kong stock market opens at 9:30 in the morning, which is still two hours away from the opening. However, the level of gaming is no longer open, and the public opinion war has already begun.
After well-known media outlets in Hong Kong released negative news one after another, the rice company's funds began to circulate. Rumor-refuting news flooded the Internet in Hong Kong, and well-known law firms also stopped to refute the rumors.
[In response to the false news released by the media and online self-media, Rice Company has fully entrusted HWB Law Firm to record and notarize the records. We will prosecute the rumor makers in accordance with the law. Please think twice before acting and do not violate legal authority. . ]
After HWB Law Firm sent the letter, they thought the matter would calm down, but they did not expect that netizens would not be fooled at all.
[Bin Binzai]: "You said that others are spreading rumors. If you let Rebus come out and walk around, it will be clear. Why do you have to beat around the bush and threaten?"
[Tonight's Translation]: "This refutation of the rumor has no credibility at all. The Phoenix Channel said that Rebus was arrested. Instead of letting Rebus come out for a walk, you threatened the media. In a word, you have a guilty conscience!"
[The past is with the wind! ]: "Originally I didn't believe it, but after seeing the rumors refuting the rumors and the lawyer's letter, I believe it now. Rebus was really captured by the Ancient Elephant Kingdom."
The trend on the Internet has changed. It is unilaterally tilted, with a large number of melon-eating netizens and a large number of trolls trying to confuse the public.
In the public relations department of the rice company, the director Tang Shaolong could not help but get angry and roared: "Who entrusted HWB Law Firm to refute the rumors? The lawyer's letter is not enough?"
Everyone knows now , the simplest and most efficient way for Rice Company to refute the rumors is to let Rebus make an appearance. As long as he makes an appearance, all problems will be solved.
Can Rebus come out?
No!
He has lost contact.
After eliminating the most effective method, HWB Law Firm also threatened netizens. Isn’t it true that netizens are inherently rebellious?
"Wen Shiwei, please give me an explanation." Tang Shaolong looked at the young man with a pot head at the work station in the distance.
"Minister, Minister, I did not contact HWB Law Firm. I contacted Steven Law Firm, and they have not responded yet." Wen Shiwei replied tremblingly.
“You didn’t contact me?”
“No.”
“Who the hell contacted HWB?”
“I didn’t.”
>
“I have no contact either.”
“Could we have been tricked by someone? And this lawyer’s letter does not have an official seal, so you can’t be held accountable even if you want to.”
Someone keenly discovered the problem. Not only did the lawyer's letter issued by HWB Law Firm not have an official seal, but it was not released under its own official account, but was entrusted to the media for release.
This means that even if the rice company settles the accounts afterwards, people can still use the sentence of ignorance to abdicate the responsibility.
Because there is no official seal, there is no security against counterfeiting. It can also be said that if someone uses their identity to contact the media, they will also hold the person who uses their identity legally responsible.
Tang Shaolong has been undecided. Things are too complicated now and are completely beyond his ability.
The most important thing is that they don’t even know who is behind the scenes.
After Lu Weibing learned that the public relations department had refuted the rumors, he was even more confused and didn't know what to do.
Once the rice company's stock price collapses, the most direct impact will be that investors' principal will be cut in half, and the company's value will also decrease.
This will not only have a negative impact on the company's financing capabilities, equity incentive plans and company reputation, but will also cause the entire market to lose confidence in investing in rice companies.
Just half a month after the company went public, the founder of the company was arrested for committing a crime. How would anyone play with his stock in such an unreliable company?
The most critical issue is financing. Most companies go public for better financing. Once the stock price collapses, what will investors think? What will the organization think?
……
When the rice companies were leaderless, Wall Street bared its fangs.
Hong Kong Island HWB Law Firm, Buffett is sitting in the top floor office, talking with the chief lawyer Li Bin.
"You have done a good job this time. The Internet trend has become one-sided. It is not in vain that I invest 50 million in your law firm every year."
Buffett said calmly.
"Use money to do things." Li Bin showed a flattering face and continued: "I just don't know the support you mentioned, Mr. Ba. When will we officially open a branch in the United States?"
"I will arrange this."
Buffett picked up the refreshing coffee, blew on the hot air and said: "As long as this matter is done, Bailey Group will also help."
"Bai Lai Group!"
Li Bin's eyes lit up.
This is one of the top consortiums in the United States. If it endorses it, then HWB Law Firm can really enter the international market.
Once they go international, they will become the ones that their counterparts in Hong Kong look up to, and the number of cases will definitely increase significantly.
"Then I would like to thank you in advance. If Mr. Ba has any further instructions, I will definitely use all my contacts. I, Mr. Li, if nothing else, I still have some influence on Hong Kong Island."
Li Bin smiled and said.
Just after saying this, Parfait took a sip of half a sip of coffee, her pupils flashed with subtle shrewdness, and replied: "It's true, I heard that you and the editor-in-chief of Nangang Daily are college classmates. Right? I have a photo here, I hope you can help me post it. ""What photo?"
Li Bin expressed interest.
The moment Buffett named the editor-in-chief of Nangang Daily, he knew that the old man was well prepared and had already investigated clearly.
Buffett took out her cell phone from her pocket and opened the photo she had saved.
Next second.
"This...this is!!!"
Li Bin's eyes widened.
The photo Buffett showed him was no one else, but the photo of Rebus being handcuffed and being interrogated.
Buffett has a first-person photo of the person arrested by the Ancient Xiang Kingdom. Now the answer is obvious. This is a trap set up by Western Wall Street financial giants, with the purpose of taking a bite of the rice company. A piece of fat.
“Gulu.”
Li Bin swallowed.
His shock was fleeting, because in his career as a lawyer, he had seen too much darkness, and even he himself was darkness.
In order to win the lawsuit, he did not hesitate to destroy evidence, confuse right and wrong, and even give false testimony.
Don’t look at the suits and leather shoes that all lawyers wear, but under the cover of the exquisite clothes, there are dirty and bloody hands.
Li Bin nodded and responded solemnly: "I know what to do."
After transmitting the photo, Buffett watched him go about his work in a leisurely manner. But sipping coffee leisurely.
…
The other side.
New Delhi, Dragon Kingdom Embassy.
After learning that Rebus was arrested on suspicion of illegal transfer of funds, diplomats from the embassy came to the police station early.
However.
But they encountered difficulties.
Today's diplomats are just like scholars when they encounter soldiers, and it is hard to explain why.
They receive you warmly, but they don’t release you, and they keep dragging you, as if they are delaying time intentionally or unintentionally.
Rajesh Romrudo also tried his own way to give money to a police officer named Asan, but he was reprimanded.
“Put away your dirty money, we are envoys who uphold the majesty of the law, and the laws of the Ancient Xiang Kingdom are not allowed to be trampled on.”
"I'll add more, 10 million."
"Bbribe the police and arrest him too."
Without any hesitation, several Asan policemen immediately took Rajesh Romulu He was handcuffed and thrown directly into the detention room.
Rebus has the identity of the Dragon Kingdom, and they still have concerns. You, Rajesh Romru, are a local citizen, and you dare to violate their "law enforcement". Isn't this looking for death?
The most important thing is that now that the superiors have repeatedly told them to detain Rebus for at least 24 hours, they dare to release him without permission?
Impossible!
If you say 24 hours will be deducted, 24 hours will be deducted.
The office where the diplomat was talking was less than three rooms away. Rebus was already shivering from the cold and his lips were purple.
When he was unconscious...
"Click——"
The interrogation rooms were opened.
Police Asan walked in, looked at the depressed Rebus and said: "We have obtained evidence that you illegally transferred funds. It is useless for you to resist now. All of the rice company's assets in Guxiang have been sold. Hand it over, sign it, and I will make you feel better."
"I...I..."
Rebus was a little exhausted from the cold and kept repeating the word "I".
“What did you say?”
Police Asan approached.
What Rebus is best at is oral pleasure. Facing this naughty Ah San, he said with all his strength: "I'll sign your mother's approval..."
Maybe he was frozen. , his head was dizzy, this sentence was not spoken in English, but in Chinese.
Ah San didn’t understand. He looked at the female Ah San behind him and said, “What did he just say?”
“He…he…”
Female Asan was about to speak but stopped.
“Speak directly.”
“He said to sign your mother’s approval...”
……
As the opening time of Hong Kong stocks approaches, Lu Weibing Still haven't found a way to break the situation.
During this period, although Ren Guofei called to express his attitude, he had no solution and could only wait and see how the situation developed.
They are just businessmen from the Dragon Kingdom and have no capital to appeal to the officials of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom to let them release Rebus.
While the rice company was resigned to fate, the Hong Kong media broke out shocking news, including several photos of Rebus’ arrest.
With the release of these photos, not only the direction of Hong Kong Island is one-sided, but also the Internet in the mainland is in an uproar.
Weibo information platform.
The entry "Rebus was arrested and imprisoned" has reached the top of the hot search list.
Click on the entry.
Millions of netizens are talking about it.
[Blue Sweater]: "???"
[Ghost]: "Rebus was arrested? Illegal transfer of funds? The money invested in Ancient Elephant Kingdom cannot be recovered Dragon Country? "
[Shocking Kyushu]: "It's weird! It's really weird! But when I think about it, it makes sense."
[Little Piggy]: " Isn’t the Rice Company very prosperous in the ancient Xiang Kingdom? It has tens of thousands of employees, but Ah San actually touches him. It feels like something is not simple.”
The number of comments, likes, and reposts is increasing sharply. , the news of Rebus’ arrest has spread throughout the Internet.
This is exactly what Buffett wants, his purpose is to create panic selling.
Of course.
Panic selling also needs a lead.
With the opening of Hong Kong stocks, this fuse has been completely ignited.
Wall Street capital led by Bayley Group and Vanguard Group began to smash the market. The stock price dropped from the opening price of 20 yuan to 17 yuan, which has fallen back to the original offering price of the stock.
This price is very subtle, neither loss nor profit. When investors see this trend, they will most likely rush to run away.
While they were escaping, Buffett's professional trading team was already online.
They used quantitative tools to buy a large number of stocks in batches, and when they had funds to back them up, they directly smashed through the backing funds.
As the stock price reached 12 yuan, Wall Street financial giants all showed cruel smiles, because now they only need to buy back the stock now and return it to the institution to complete the short sale.
However!
Their purpose goes far beyond that.
What Renato Marotta, the second-in-command of the Baile Group, and the representatives of the Pilot Group want to do is to scare the monkeys. The Rice Company is the chicken, so it is self-evident who the monkey is.
Buffett watched the funds continue to pour in. He did not hesitate for a moment and once again issued instructions to his top trading team: "Continue to smash the market, I want to see a stock price of five yuan."
