Chapter 375: Returning to China
"......" Cao Mo dialed Jiaying's mobile phone again, and did not immediately tell her the truth of the matter, but asked them their coping strategies first, "Taihua's current situation is a bit chaotic, how do you plan to deal with it next?"
"The Shanghai Composite Index has fallen below 1,900 points, although the economic level is very pessimistic, the import and export data is very unsatisfactory, and it is not clear how long the subprime mortgage crisis will spread, but purely in the domestic stock market, trading has been very sluggish, and there is no volume for several days. It is possible that the Shanghai Composite Index will continue to fall, or it may jump sharply, but the possibility of halving again is extremely low. We will not be too conservative in our operation on Taihua. At present, we have made some preliminary plans, but we are mainly operating according to tomorrow's time-sharing trend, and we are not busy guessing what the intentions of Huamao, Xintaihua and the third party who entered the market savagely - this is mainly because there are sudden changes in the market in the last three minutes, and the information that can be provided to us is too limited," Jiaying said on the phone, "Brother, have you heard anything over there?"
"I just got the news, it is indeed the major shareholder of Taihua, and today I am in contact with the manager of a public fund company, and the end of the change is the ghost of this public fund - we now have a few guesses: the first point is that this public fund is likely to be a pit dug by Han Shaorong for the major shareholders of Taihua, and the second point is that the major shareholders of Taihua have not officially cooperated with this fund, so the fund manager wants to make this change and prove his skills to the major shareholders of Taihua. As far as Taihua's fundamentals are concerned, there are no major changes at present," Cao Mo said, "We must protect the source of information now, and the operation of the wooden elephant in the next few days should still be arranged according to the established strategy, do not deliberately adjust according to this news, and avoid Han Shaorong from detecting the abnormality - considering that the official entry of this public fund will quickly hold up the stock price of Taihua, you can prepare a response plan first, don't be sloppy!"
"Can the wooden elephant turn over, in this battle, you have to trust me. Jiaying said excitedly on the other end of the phone.
Cao Mo opened Tianyue Investment's special investment account and took a look.
In the past few days, under the operation of Jiaying and them, they have absorbed one-third of their positions, and at this time, a public fund has been bought to intervene to stir up the situation, no matter what Han Shaorong has in mind, he doesn't care whether the Lu family can cope with the next crisis, purely for the 200 million funds that Tianyue Investment put into the special investment account, it is definitely beneficial and harmless, and there are too many opportunities to fish in troubled waters.
However, whether they can accomplish their real purpose outside the board is still very variable.
In the previous bull market, Wood Elephant Capital failed to make a profit, and Cao Mo knew that Jiaying was upset, so she didn't ruin her good mood.
Cao Mo hung up the phone to Jiaying, saw Zhou Hanxiu sitting across the desk with deep eyebrows, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Zhou Han frowned and said: "If the fund manager of Xin Yihua was arranged by Han Shaorong, and he had nothing to do with Taihua before, then there must be someone in the middle to lead the needle......"
“...... That's Guo Jian!" Cao Mo just heard Ensanger say that their meeting today, only Ensanger, Guo Jian and Lu Yan participated, and this matter was directly intervened by Lu Yan after returning to China, Cao Mo knew that Zhou Han also guessed that Guo Jian was likely to have been bought by Han Shaorong.
And when they guessed this, it was clear what Han Shaorong wanted to do next.
Zhou Han nodded and said, "It's also thanks to you to make a quick decision, and directly turn around and rush to Kanem to find Sturgeon to cooperate, Nsanger can become our eyeliner and find out this in time." Otherwise, even if your sister can guess a certain truth, the situation will not be as clear as this. ”
"What, now I think I'm extremely wise, and I don't want to see you before I go abroad?" Cao Mo leaned back in the chair, stretched a lazy waist, soothed the sore old waist, and couldn't help yawning, but was slapped on the shoulder by Stari who was standing aside, and the yawn was also broken.
Think about it, they had a barbecue last night, and after a little chat, they went back to their room to rest, and it was more than eight o'clock in the morning, so he shouldn't look like he was sleep-deprived.
Cao Mo immediately sat up.
Zhou Hanmei glanced at Cao Mo, stood up and said, "You guys can rest for a while, seeing that you are about to yawn, it's really hard to work, don't forget that you still have something to do today." ”

............
Thousands of miles away in Xinhai, a medium-sized yacht is slowly sailing out of the mouth of the Yangtze River.
The cool autumn breeze blew, and Lu Yan, who was sitting on the deck with a wine glass, also felt so uncomfortable.
Although Shinkai is close to the sea, the waters of the East China Sea are muddy.
In addition to the wet and cold weather in winter and early spring and many typhoons in summer, it is suitable to go to sea in late autumn.
Therefore, there are many wealthy people in Xinhai, but there are not many people who play yachts.
When Lu Yan returned to China that year, Xinhai was preparing to build a yacht city and provide yacht mooring docks, so he spent more than 5 million yuan to buy a medium-sized yacht to play, but the number of times he really went to sea was only a handful.
This time, in order to entertain Shi Mingde, he deliberately pulled out this yacht that had not been used for a long time.
Guo Jian originally wanted to spend money to find a few girls to accompany him from the oriental charm that Shi Mingde often played, but Lu Yan felt that the row was not enough, so he personally contacted a model agent and asked four young models to go on the yacht as playmates.
Although it is no longer the season to wear bikinis, the four supermodels are tall, with tall breasts and hips, dressed in exquisite makeup, charming faces, wearing sexy and flowing skirts, and have already received tips from Lu Yan.
Although this yacht is not luxurious and does not qualify as a superyacht, it also has spacious luxury rooms, living rooms, and some entertainment facilities, which are ideal for small-scale "no-cover" balls.
"You will enjoy it, this is the life that my generation should enjoy!
Shi Mingde, who has made some names in this industry at the age of thirty-three, can also be said to be a young talent in the financial industry, and he did not feel angry at all when he sat in front of Lu Yan, holding a model with big breasts and fat hips in his arms, and talking and laughing with Lu Yan's arrangement.
Although Shi Mingde entered the fund company, he did not enjoy the life of drunken dreams and drunken money, and he was also a good fan in the East, and there was no shortage of opportunities to make friends with extravagant people, but he rarely had the opportunity to see the pomp of the super-rich.
In Xinhai, the different levels and circles are still distinct, and Shi Mingde also secretly feels that he is a little bit behind.
The Lu family found Shi Mingde because they wanted to buy a part of Taihua's shares with the funds he managed, so as to support Taihua's stock price;
With the full cooperation of the controlling major shareholder, the fund he manages in Xinyihua can buy up to 200 million yuan in a single stock, and Shi Mingde does not feel that it is difficult to hold Taihua's stock price.
Shi Mingde patted the plump and fat buttocks of the girl in his arms, asked her to go to the deck to play too, and said to Lu Yan and Guo Jian without mind:
"Although it is difficult to judge when the situation will improve, and I will not pretend to be a professional in front of Yan Shao, it is a fact that investors and institutions large and small are now very low in their willingness to make transactions. Not only do we have a minimum position limit for public funds, but some of the big investors I know either lock up their positions or build some bottom positions in moderation. In this case. I can now be sure that as long as Taihua does not poke big negative news, no matter how much financial resources other people have, it is very difficult to hit Taihua's stock price from the high point that has fallen by two-thirds and then down, even if they desperately smash the market, how much panic can they bring out under today's trading volume? A shares have been falling for almost a year, and the resistance of shareholders is stronger than imagined. More importantly, there is no short-selling mechanism in China, they want to smash the market, there is no place to lend securities, they can only absorb chips first, and the accumulation of chips itself will raise the stock price - this also makes them unable to use any strength. I'm also very happy to make friends like Yan Shao and Manager Guo, and you can rest assured that the rest will be left to me. There is another one, of course Yan Shao will not care about this little money, but if Manager Guo has three or five million spare money in his hand, he can also follow up and drink soup, I guarantee that your soup is absolutely delicious!"
"I'm working, and besides, where do I have three or five million spare money? I'm not comparable to Mr. Shi, you're not ......," Guo Jian said with a smile.
Guo Jian didn't want to touch a handful of oil, but he knew that the oil was not easy to touch.
Shi Mingde himself will most likely take some funds out of the new Yihua Fund in private to play the rat barn. And when Han Shaorong's side is deployed, Shi Mingde's case will inevitably involve Taihua's stock trading, and at that time, the new Yihua Fund Company, and even the securities regulatory and economic investigation departments may thoroughly investigate all insider trading behaviors involving Taihua's rat warehouse, how can he be stupid enough to put a rope around his neck at this time?
Of course, it is also a fact that Guo Jian does not have much money in his hands.
Thinking of this, he felt a sense of pleasure in betraying the Lu family in his heart, but at this time, he couldn't make a noise in front of Lu Yan.
Shi Mingde thought that Guo Jian was modest, but in order to prevent Shi Mingde, who was already a little drunk, from getting entangled in this issue, Guo Jian lent the opportunity of Ensanger to translate and divert Shi Mingde's attention.
"These girls aren't bad, aren't they?"
Lu Yan was also completely relaxed at this time, thinking that he had successfully completed the task assigned to him by his father and uncle, and happily chatted about the topics that everyone was interested in, and returned his attention to the four accompanying models.
Lu Yan has very little contact with the domestic securities investment industry, although he has known Shi Mingde for a very short time, counting this time he has only met three times, and the other two times are on occasions like Oriental Charm, everyone hugs left and right, and they don't have the opportunity to say a few words, but Shi Mingde's behavior today makes him believe that Shi Mingde is reliable.
In order to earn their commissions, Shi Mingde clearly laid out his details in front of them without concealing it at all, and Lu Yan naturally would not suspect that he would conspire with others to harm the Lu family.
And Taihua now believes from top to bottom that Cao Mo and Tianyue Investment are their enemies, how could they think that Guo Jian, who has the deepest grudge against Cao Mo, has already been secretly bribed?
Lu Yan was also in a good mood at this moment, and the biggest cloud in his heart could be said to be swept away, and he suddenly felt like the sun was shining.
Because of Tianyue Investment's accumulation of funds in the past few days, Taihua's market value has remained fluctuating at around 37.8 billion, and it has not been brought down too much by the market.
In Taihua's considerable market capitalization, half of the shares are held by the Lu family through New Taihua Investment.
Whether it is to stabilize the stock price, the Lu family has repeatedly made a commitment not to reduce its holdings, or it has actually been mortgaged, and half of the shares have been directly locked.
In addition, it is impossible for the management of Taihua and other major shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares to reduce their holdings of Taihua's shares in the open market, which almost locks up more than 800 million shares with a market value.
After deducting the stocks secretly controlled by the Lu family through decentralized accounts, the real tradable shares of Taihua are currently less than 900 million yuan.
There are a large number of retail investors with serious losses in the market value of 900 million, and many of them have a common characteristic, that is, they will lie flat and pretend to be dead when the losses are serious, and they will hold on to the stock of Taihua.
This is also the main reason why the trading volume continues to hit new lows, and Shi Mingde was able to hold the limit at the end of the market with only more than 5 million funds - the 10% increase is far from enough for investors who are deeply involved in it.
In this case, Shi Mingde promised to use the fund managed by Xin Yihua to buy 100 million yuan according to the promise, Lu Yan is not only not afraid that Taihua's stock price will be broken through, but even believes that they cooperate with a few more good news, and the stock price may be pulled back to a high level, making more room for Taihua's follow-up capital operation......

Cao Mo did not stay in Africa for too long this time, except for some trivial affairs, mainly to sort out and rectify the backbone personnel of Tubman Security Affairs Consulting Company.
Considering the particularity and complexity of taking root and developing in Africa, even though Sterri is nominally in charge of Tubman Security Consultants, and Cao Mo of Conero Security Company only holds a small amount of equity, Cao Mo has never neglected to control these two companies, and even Tesya, Big and Small Kushis, Duganj and others will take turns to take charge of security work in China.
Cao Mo did this mainly to maintain close ties with the core figures of these two companies, and his bodyguards in Africa or in China are almost always elite backbones in turn.
However, the development scale of Tubman Security Consultants and Conero Security is getting bigger and bigger, and on the one hand, it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed, and on the other hand, Cao Mo can no longer do everything through the previous methods.
However, some people do not mean that they are bought by outsiders, or that there are other endangerments to the core interests of the company, but more because of the change in their own status, and after coming out of the simple environment in the past, they will be exposed to more complex affairs and material and spiritual temptations, and their mentality will undergo subtle changes, and there will be differentiation and inevitable contradictions and breakthroughs within the team.
After straightening out the relationship between the two companies, Cao Mo didn't have to worry about whether someone in Africa was secretly eyeing him, and whether there was any trap waiting for him to crash into.
In the final analysis, whether it is strategy or intrigues, it needs to be built on the corresponding strength.
This time, he also has enough strength to easily persuade Sturgeon to turn around and cooperate with them, and only then can he have the ability to take advantage of the fire and snatch the fat that Han Shaorong is targeting.
And at the same time, because of his absolute strength, Cao Mo is sure to deal a heavy blow to the Lu family this time, but even if he can successfully snatch this piece of fat from Han Shaorong's mouth in the end, he doesn't expect to really hit Han Shaorong this time.
This time, when I returned to China and flew from Singapore to Xinhai, it was 6 o'clock in the morning.
Cao Mo didn't want Cheng Xi to get up from the warm quilt too early, but when he arrived at the airport, he still saw Cheng Xi yawning, standing in the hall and looking at each other.
"I only slept for a few hours at night, and I rushed to the airport?" Cao Mo grabbed Cheng Xi's little hand that was about to cover her mouth, looked at her and couldn't help yawning, and asked with a smile.
"I talked to you on the phone last night, and I went to bed, thinking that it would be enough to sleep for six or seven hours, but I couldn't sleep until two o'clock!" Cheng Xi said, "You said that you have a work arrangement today, if I don't come to the airport, won't I have to wait until the night to see you?" Now that I see you, I can go home and sleep again!"
"I asked Shen Ji and Chen Chang and her boss Ge Jun to have breakfast together, and you can come with me too-" Cao Mo grabbed Cheng Xi's small hand and said.
He has been back in Africa for less than a month, but the situation in this month has changed even more treacherously than in the past three or five years.
In less than two months, international crude oil futures have fallen by less than half from their peak, falling from a maximum of $150 to below $70 per barrel.
Iron ore, copper concentrate, palm oil, cocoa powder, and other commodity indices have all fallen sharply to varying degrees.
The global shipping index has plummeted to one-third of the remaining high, but it has not stopped the downward trend, which has also caused the global shipbuilding industry to take the lead in falling into the quagmire of the crisis.
A large number of new ships could not leave the factory, which has caused a number of shipyards to fall into a crisis of operational difficulties.
Kanem's finished cement plummeted by half in two months and has now fallen to $120 a tonne, forcing a significant number of cement plants to shut down before the decline stopped.
Even though everyone knows that the economic crisis is sweeping in, and the depreciation of the US dollar and other currencies will strongly support the price of gold, the impact of the money shortage should not be underestimated, and the international gold price fell below $700 per ounce in late September.
Tianyue Industry's motorcycles and pickup trucks sold in the West African market also fell sharply month-on-month.
These are all cold currents that Cao Mo and the management of other Tianyue companies can directly feel.
And other industries are also showing signs of wolf, Cao Mo will be very busy when he comes back this time, Shen Ji, Ge Jun, and Qian Wenhan can't wait for him to take a breath......
