Chapter 159: Turning Defeat into Victory
On the weekend, Su Jing replied to Qing Huan that White would go to London on Monday, and he could see Qing Huan, but he only had lunch for an hour.
Qing Huan knew that she must have taken a lot of effort to persuade White to give her an hour, and she didn't dare to delay at all after receiving the reply, and even didn't have time to pack her luggage, booked the nearest flight to London, and then hurried towards the airport, and when the plane landed in London, it was already night, and the whole city was shrouded in fog and light rain, she stood at the exit of the airport, took a deep breath of cold air, and got into the taxi in front of her, and went to the hotel booked in the city.
The next day, the restaurant where White and her made an appointment to eat was in the hotel restaurant where he stayed, not very far from where Qing Huan lived, and it was more than a ten-minute walk.
She arrived ten minutes early, and sat in the dining room for less than ten minutes, when White showed up on time, shook hands with her, and then pulled out a chair and sat down across the table, he seemed to be in good spirits, and his complexion was very good, presumably the new marriage relationship was very satisfying.
"Of course, I have a good relationship with the shareholders behind Qida you talked about, and I have some influence over them, but I can't think of a reason to help you. White frowned after hearing Qing Huan's intention, "I know a little bit about the situation of Qida, the assets it has are all benign assets, and the current development trend is not bad, I really don't understand the reason why you want to short it." ”
Qing Huan had expected White to say this, and she had already prepared the answer in her heart," White, there is a situation you may not know very well, Qida before the market performance was good because its president Chen Yidong was still in place, under his influence, Qida both in the source of funds and in some investment strategies have done very well, profits have been achieving steady growth, but now the situation is different, Chen Yidong left Qida last year, its current president is obviously not as long-term strategic vision as him, in several projects have lost the usual level, financial data has also begun to falsify, at present because the time is still short, so these problems have not been exposedBut once the problem is big enough to arouse the vigilance of investors, it will inevitably cause a storm in the financial market. ”
White laughed, "I can't just take your word for it, can I, do you have evidence for what you say?"
"Of course, I don't say nothing. Qing Huan took out a piece of information from his bag and handed it to White, "This is the data I got from Qida in the last six months through some special channels, it is obvious that it is now eating the old book, and when it finishes the last bit of resources, all the problems will be exposed." ”
White frowned and looked at the information in his hand, and when he turned the last page, he had already made a decision in his heart, "I can help you make a few phone calls, but we are in business, what kind of conditions can you give me in exchange for the shares in the hands of those people?"
"Speaking from the heart, the electric driverless car launched by Azure this time, in addition to the defect of infringement, its concept is actually very good, and I will give you 20% of the shares of Azure at that time, how about it?" Qing Huan lowered his eyes and looked at the glass of water on the table, and slowly spoke.
"We all know that Teal and Qida are both prosperous and loss-making relationships, after you succeed in shorting, Qida will be ruined by you, what are you talking about Azure shares?" White looked at her with a smirk.
"I never wanted to destroy the blue, my goal is to enlighten, for a company with real potential, I just want it to fall into the hands of people who have the strength to make it achieve its mission, and really make some contributions to this society, rather than becoming a tool for some people to make huge profits. Qing Huan said firmly, "This is also the belief I have always adhered to, so I will not destroy it easily." ”
White was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "When I heard Su Jing mention you in the past, she said that you always have a power that can infect others, and I didn't think so at the time, but today I finally understand why she said that, okay, let me make a few calls for you, and let's wait and see what you mentioned in the future." ”
When the New York Stock Exchange opened, the war between NE and Qida has reached a white-hot stage, Qida's stock price is still strong, and it is not completely without the power to fight back against NE, the two financial institutions behind it have joined forces to organize a new round of short squeezing, selling large orders, pushing Qida's stock price straight up, and NE is like a dying struggle, no matter how big the other party throws out the order, it was eaten in just a few minutes.
For such a situation, Tang Tang and Ye Shan both pinched a cold sweat, although they knew that Qing Huan still had a move, but looking at such a one-sided situation, they still couldn't help but worry.
The night before the press conference, Ning Jing opened a bottle of red wine that had been treasured for many years in a good mood, which was originally intended to be opened at her wedding with Chen Yidong, but she waited until now, a smile hooked up on the corner of her lips, slowly put the wine in the bottle into the decanter, and then gave herself half a glass first, and walked to the window with the wine, but she didn't drink, just kept looking out the window.
When tomorrow's press conference is over, everything will be settled, right? Gu Qinghuan hit the stone with an egg, failure is doomed, once the unmanned driving of Azure Automobile is launched, Qida's stock price will be pushed to a new high, NE will not only be lost, but it is very likely that it will be saddled with a very considerable debt.
As for Chen Yidong, she went to the hospital to ask his attending physician and said that his condition was not very good, and there was no sign of awakening until now, and he was likely to be brain dead.
So, can everything be over? Tranquility smiled slightly, a trace of madness flashed in her eyes, what Chen Yidong owed her could only be paid off with her life, and Gu Qinghuan would be ruined from now on, and she would never be able to turn over again, thinking that she would be able to look down on her condescendingly like an ant forever in the future, and the breath that she had been holding in her heart for a long time finally seemed to have found a small outlet to vent.
The next day, the new car of Azure was unveiled at the Science and Technology Electronics Exhibition, and the presidents of Qida and Langmu were present at the exhibition, and the technical development director of Langmu gave a detailed explanation of the unmanned system, including many of the ideas they initially developed, the principle of the unmanned system, and also showed a short test drive of the new car on the road.
The conference can be said to have achieved unprecedented success, media reporters on this much-anticipated driverless car to observe, are amazed, back to it is touted to the extreme, for a time the brand of blue car in the market on the name, the limelight unmatched, just out of the new car model, has not been put into large-scale production, large orders have been smashed to the blue marketing department.
Just when this craze has not subsided, NE suddenly re-issued a report on the disclosure of inside information about Qida, and this time it cited the four major crimes of Qida - First, in the company's financial statements, the operating costs are only one-third of those of mature competitors in the same industry, and the salary of employees is only half of that of the same company; second, the company's investment has failed continuously in the past six months, but profits are still growing at an incredible rate; third, according to the list of top 100 taxpayers released by S City, Qida occupies the fifth position, but it is worth noting that the threshold for the list is as high as 300 million yuan, which is seriously inconsistent with the tax information registered by Qida in the State Administration for Industry and Commerce; fifth, Qida's newly invested Azure driverless car is suspected of intellectual property infringement, plagiarized a patent that has passed the technical examination of the French patent, and the owner of the patent has filed a lawsuit against it.
The report is followed by supporting information on the above-mentioned grounds.
As soon as the report was released, the market was like a frying pan, and all the financial news was broadcasting the news of Qida's financial and tax fraud and the plagiarism of Azure products.
In the next few days, Qida began to break the news that the current president used his background to obtain improper resources and buy homicide, and the public security organs have filed a case for investigation, and Qida's stock price fell to the bottom in less than a week in the next week.
NE became the biggest winner of this short sale, it made nearly 10 billion yuan from this single short transaction, and the assets were directly doubled, and it is said that for three consecutive days, the carnival party in the NE office did not stop, and hundreds of bottles of champagne were continuously sent in...... While everyone was too drunk to wake up, Frank took a cigar and went to the building's terrace and made a phone call.
"We won. After the phone was connected, he said quietly.
"I know. Qing Huan smiled slightly, "Congratulations." ”
"Wendy, we don't owe each other anything from now on. Frank was silent for two seconds, slowly exhaling a smoke ring and then speaking lightly.
There was a long silence on the other side of the phone, and then her voice rang, "Well, it's clear." ”
Frank didn't say anything more, just hooked the corners of his lips slightly, hung up the phone, lowered his head and took a puff of the cigar burning on his fingertips, and then looked up at the sky of the city, the moonlight shrouded in clouds was not very clear, and it was gloomy on people's bodies, a little cold, but also a little lonely.
It was all over, he smiled, then turned around, opened the glass door and went back to the party indoors.
