Chapter 158: The curtain opens
Late at night, Qing Huan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, her hair was not dry, and it was dripping with water, but she ignored it, and went straight to the study to turn on the computer to stare at the stock trend of Qida, and her brows couldn't help but wring up tightly, since NE announced the news of shorting Qida, Qida's stock price did not fall, but showed an upward trend all the way, before NE had borrowed nearly 5 billion shares of Qida, if it was time to pay it back, Qida's stock price still maintained this upward trend, then NE would lose nothing.
She sat staring at the computer screen for a while, then picked up her phone and dialed Su Jing.
"Qinghuan, where have you been these days?Finally willing to call me?" After connecting, Su Jing crackled on the other end of the phone, "I don't want to think about how worrying you are to leave silently like this......
"Su, can you do me a favor?" Qing Huan suddenly interrupted her and asked very quietly.
"You say," Su Jing was stunned for a moment, as if she heard the seriousness in her tone, and stopped complaining.
"Can you give White a call for me, he should have a good relationship with some of the shareholders behind Qida, right? I want to ask him for help. Qing Huan said softly.
Su Jing was silent on the other end of the phone for two seconds before she spoke with some difficulty: "Qinghuan, it's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I don't know if White will sell my face now, since he remarried, it seems that his new wife is very dissatisfied with me and him still have contact, so if I have something to find him now, I can only go to his secretary at most, as for whether he will see you if he knows, I really don't know for sure." β
"I know, you just have to help me pass the news to him, and I'll arrange the rest myself. β
"Okay, I'll give you a call. Su Jing sighed and continued, "But Qinghuan, I have read the reports released by NE in the past two days, in fact, you and I both know that these reports will not cause any actual harm to Qida at all, and those financial problems are not worth mentioning for a listed company at all, I am really worried about you if you continue like this......"
"Sue, don't worry, I know it in my heart. Qing Huan smiled, "You should know that I never fight a battle that I am not sure of, do I?"
"Well, I'll let you know when there's news over there. Su Jing said helplessly.
"Thank you. β
After hanging up the phone, she closed the computer in front of her, and then slowly walked to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of red wine, opened the balcony door and walked outside, the biting cold wind immediately swept her whole body, but she didn't seem to feel cold at all, standing there quietly, remembering the picture of seeing his car drive out of the garage and gradually disappear from her sight here that morning, Qing Huan closed her eyes irrepressibly, because the stinging pain that suddenly rose in her mind almost pierced her eyes.
What an irony it is that Qida is a company that he founded single-handedly, and now because of the tranquility, he has to do his best to destroy it himself......
At nine o'clock the next morning, there was another shining message in the financial news column: Langmu and Qida jointly invested in the establishment of the blue car released the latest news, their joint electric drive driverless vehicle will be unveiled at the auto show at the beginning of next month, and will also be publicly unveiled at the recent technology product exhibition, when the technical team of the blue car will personally explain the technical principle of unmanned driving, and personally prove that their newly developed system is ahead of the curve and has made irreplaceable contributions in the field of unmanned drivingγ
As soon as the news was released, the stock price of Qida went up by another two dollars.
Tang Tang sat in the office, staring at the news page on the screen in a daze, and muttered: "What to do, I think Wendy will definitely lose this time, Qida's posture, the stock price will definitely not fall in the short term." Should we persuade her to close the position as soon as possible, otherwise how can we get it if it goes on like this......"
Ye Shan stood next to her, but she didn't seem to hear Tang Tang's words, she stared at the computer screen tightly, thinking of Hu Hao, who had been very quiet in the past few days, and after a while, she seemed to suddenly wake up, turned around and hurriedly walked towards Hu Hao's office.
When Ye Shan pushed the door in, Hu Hao was biting a chocolate bar in front of the computer and didn't know what he was tinkering with, and when he saw her suddenly break in, he was startled, reflexively buckled his laptop, and stammered: "You, why are you here?" β
"Have you been in touch with Wendy these days?, and you have a new plan?" Ye Shan stood at the door with her hands folded, and asked bluntly.
"Nope...... You and Tang Tang can't contact her, how can I know about her?" Hu Hao denied.
Ye Shan narrowed her eyes and slowly paced in front of him, "Really, you should know what the consequences would be if I knew that you lied to me, right?"
Hu Hao stopped talking, turned his head a little awkwardly, and his eyes began to dodge.
The more Ye Shan looked at it, the more suspicious she felt, so she simply used a killer idea, "It seems that you don't want to speak, okay, I won't force you, you can watch the movie on the weekend yourself, I'm in a bad mood, so I won't go." β
With that, she turned her head and walked outside.
"Eh, how can you do this," Hu Hao was anxious when he heard this, hurriedly stood up, and took a few steps to pull Ye Shan back into the office, "Didn't we say okay? β
"In this situation, Wendy has no news at all, do you know what kind of anxiety Tang Tang and I have become? You obviously have contact with her, but you don't tell me. Ye Shan looked at him angrily, "If you say it or not, don't regret it." β
Hu Hao sighed a little helplessly, and raised his hands to show his surrender, "It's not that I deliberately didn't tell you, it's really because I was afraid of the ghost in the company last time, and this time there is no room for a little mistake, if the news is revealed in advance, all Wendy's arrangements will be in vain, so the fewer people who know, the better, at present, except for me and Wendy, no one else knows what the whole plan is, are you sure you want to know?"
Ye Shan was silent, and then raised his head to look at him, "Actually, now I can guess a rough idea if you don't say it, this Azure Auto press conference should be part of your plan, right? β
"Clever girl. Hu Hao glanced at her appreciatively, "After finding evidence of their plagiarism last time, I sent an email to Wendy, and she replied to my email the next day, asking me to stay on hold for the time being, and she will make some arrangements, and then let me cooperate with her plan when the time comes, and strive to pull Qida off the horse in one time." β
Confirming that things are really as she guessed, Ye Shan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the worries of the past few days have finally dissipated a lot, Wendy she knows in her heart, what she is most afraid of is that this short sale is her impulsive move, if that is the case, from the good market performance of Qida in the past few days, it is almost certain how badly Wendy will lose. Thankfully, things don't seem to be as simple as they seem.
At the headquarters of NE Fund in New York, Frank and his team of analysts have been staring at the market from 2 p.m. to discuss strategies until 2 p.m., as of today's close, Qida's stock price has been pushed up by a total of four points, and the brokerage company's margin call almost burst his office landline, and now as long as Qida's stock price rises by one point, their losses will rise by 10 percent accordingly, and the loss looks like an endless black hole, which can never be filled.
The people in the whole team couldn't help but wipe the sweat that kept coming out of their heads, this time the plan to short Qida was too radical, too risky, and the slightest carelessness would be a loss, but the thing has been done to this extent, except to grit your teeth and persevere, there is no other way, and now closing the position is equivalent to throwing out tens of billions in vain, and the company's bankruptcy liquidation will be a sure thing.
Just as Frank was covering half of his face that was swollen from the fire, and borrowing land to raise money to pay the deposit, David's phone call also came in.
"Did you know that part of our funding comes from police pensions?" he asked on the other end of the phone, very calmly.
"I founded NE single-handedly, and I signed the contract myself, do you think I won't know?" replied Frank with a wry smile.
"Very well, it seems that you have a good idea of what the consequences will be if we fail this time. David's tone still didn't fluctuate, "We still have nearly two billion cash flow on our side, and I have already asked people to dial it to your side." β
Frank was stunned, he never thought that David would help him at this time, the two of them fought like red-eyed roosters on weekdays, and when they saw each other, they wanted to rush up and poke each other's eyes, at this time David not only did not take the opportunity to step on him, but turned around to help him, which is really incomprehensible.
"Why would you help me?" asked Frank a little dryly after a moment's pause.
"Do I have a way? You're like crazy, you're betting the whole company on it, and if you fail, can I have good fruit to eat? Tell me, what else can I do?" Davy finally couldn't help but growl on the other end of the phone.
Frank smiled slightly, and after a long time, he said in a low voice, "Thank you." β
The other party didn't appreciate it, and hung up the phone directly.
