Apart from major personnel changes, there is only one thing that can make the board meeting solemn: major problems in the financial markets.

Tencent's stock began to plummet at the beginning of the 3Q war.

The plummeting stock price is an unbearable burden for any listed company. In particular, the company's major shareholders and managers would rather see the top of their heads green than the company's shares green every day.

At the beginning of the 3Q war, Tencent shares in the Xiangjiang stock market were immediately affected, falling for a week, and the stock price shrank sharply, creating two records of the longest decline and the largest decline in history since Tencent's listing.

This point, before the opening of the incompatible mode, Tencent had already anticipated, as a 'bearable temporary loss', thinking that after the end of the 3Q war, the stock price will quickly recover, and even because of Tencent's victory, there will be a retaliatory rise.

But the premise of all this is that the 3Q war will end in a short time.

Otherwise, after a long time, the confidence of shareholders will be lost, and even if Tencent wins, the range of rebound is very limited, and the stock will fall into a long-term downturn, and even have a habitual decline after a short-term rebound.

In order to avoid this from happening, when making the initial plan, Tencent left two tricks: the first step was to work with other Internet companies to put pressure on 360 in all directions and force 360 to make concessions as soon as possible, and the second step was to wait for the mediation of the relevant departments.

Who knows, these two tricks have failed. Without Zelianke's support, Tencent could not have played a decisive role in contacting two or three big cats and kittens; as for the relevant departments, although they intervened, they did not play any substantive role. WeChat and a group of soft killers led by Jinshan were either born out of thin air, or there were big moves to stabilize the market, so there is no need for the relevant departments to intervene too hard.

Under normal circumstances, enterprises do not want the superior units to intervene directly, but this time it is good, Tencent is now eager to the relevant departments, even if it uses administrative orders, to directly take action.

Neither of these moves worked, which directly led to Tencent's 'heavy blow' this time, which in turn hit itself: A whole month has passed, and Tencent's stock has fallen by an astonishing amount! Especially in the past half month, even if there is no negative news or negative news, Tencent's stock has still fallen 'steadily'.

There is no negative news, or it is falling, what does this mean? This shows that the confidence of shareholders is on the verge of collapse!

The next step is likely not to be as simple as a fall, but a crash!

The Hong Kong stock market has no 10% rise and fall limit!

Despite having the vast majority of the voting rights on the board, most shareholders, even Tencent's management, were somewhat unimpressed by Ma Huateng's previous 'incompatible' policy, feeling too risky and impulsive.

If nothing happens, it is enough, and now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, the pressure from all sides has finally manifested itself and is coming.

"It's not just about Tencent stock anymore. ”

The person in charge of a certain business group of Tencent said in a deep voice: "Tenpay imitated Zepay's Yu'e Bao and also opened a financial wealth management business, and due to the downturn of Tencent stock in the financial market, Tenpay's wealth management business has also been greatly affected." The number of users who purchased wealth management products has decreased significantly, and a large number of users have begun to redeem products, and the financial sector of the entire group company is facing a very difficult situation. ”

"If you stick to it a little longer, you can give Tenpay more resources in other businesses, including games. When Ma Huateng said this, he felt that he couldn't hold on anymore.

In any case, the 3Q war will come to an end one day, and as long as Tenpay still has business in the financial field, it will be able to stand up again sooner or later.

A board secretary in charge of the stock market then reported: "In addition, in the Xiangjiang stock market, we have found some anomalies, and some institutions have been buying Tencent's shares!"

Compared with the issue of Tenpay, this news made board members and company executives, including Ma Huateng, very nervous.

Although listed companies can make money, they also face the risk of being acquired at any time.

Ma Huateng frowned and said, "Be specific." ”

"Here's the situation......"

The secretary of the board of directors made a more detailed report, probably from the third trading day of the launch of the incompatible policy, there were scattered acquisitions, but the number of circulating hands at that time was too small to be obviously abnormal;

As for who it is, it has not been found out for the time being, the individuals and institutions who bought the company are scattered, and the buyers who can be directly found are scattered in several companies, and there is no connection between them on the surface, unless the other party takes the initiative to jump out, it is difficult to find out who is behind the scenes for a while.

Fortunately, Tencent has developed for so many years, and naturally has its own powerful channels: after hard work, it was found that some of the funds came from the capital.

Fortunately, the other party seems to just want to take the opportunity to bite Tencent hard, rather than swallowing it whole, so far, the shares acquired from retail investors are still within the acceptable range for the time being.

Rao is so, and this news also shocked the people present. The acceptable range refers to the fact that it will not cause major changes in the equity structure and the management rights will be lost, but if it is specifically implemented in the capital, it is also measured in 'billion', which is by no means a trivial matter that can be taken lightly.

What's even more terrifying is that even if there is a 'takeover man', Tencent's stock is still falling steadily, which once again proves that retail investors' patience with Tencent has reached the limit!

Even some institutions have begun to selectively sell Tencent stocks, and the confidence of institutions is unstable, which in turn further affects retail investors!

Tencent's stock has entered a vicious circle!

The secretary of the board of directors sounds just a 'secretary', but the person who can be the secretary of the board of directors, especially the secretary of the board of directors of Tencent, can be said to surpass the top level of most medium-sized companies regardless of personal ability and experience.

In a large company, the secretary of the board of directors can already be regarded as one of the high-level and enjoy the treatment of the company's vice president.

However, the secretary of the board of directors who reported this, his expression still showed obvious fluctuations, and he said in a deep voice: "In addition, we also found that in the futures market, there are several forces that are shorting Tencent, and the amount is very large, which is also one of the main reasons for the decline of the stock market. ”

Different from stocks, futures make money, divided into 'long' and 'short', buy stocks, only when the stock rises can you make money, futures are different, as long as the prediction is accurate, buyers can make money.

At the same time, the futures market does not need to own actual stocks, as long as you pay a certain margin to participate in the game.

If the stock falls, then the short is successful, and the player profits, and if it rises, the player loses money and loses money.

On the other hand, predicting that it will rise is 'going long', hoping that the target stock will rise, and the stock will make money if it rises.

The futures market is essentially a 'prediction of the future market'.

The mainland stock market has a limit on the rise and fall limit, and the Xiangjiang stock market has no limit on this, but the price limit is actually limited, and it is basically impossible for a stock to skyrocket several times or lose all of its losses in one day.

However, due to the use of high leverage, it is not uncommon for futures to lose all in one day, or to earn several times or even ten times in a day.

For the futures of a single stock, the leverage can be close to 1:10 at most, in other words, you can use 100 million capital to buy 10 billion Tencent virtual stocks, and how much Tencent falls, the buyer can make a tenfold profit.

Of course, the greater the leverage, the greater the risk, 1 yuan and 10 yuan, short, Tencent can make a lot of money if it falls, if Tencent rises, then it will lose a lot, as long as it rises by 10%, the buyer will lose all and leave.

Futures have always been an adventure paradise for getting rich overnight and destitute overnight, and the play of the prince entering and exiting the eunuch is staged in the futures market every day.

There is a group of people in the world who specialize in making trouble in the financial market and making profits from the stock market and futures, and one of them is a very famous guy called Soros. The enterprises and even the countries targeted by these people are like wolves targeting lambs, facing a huge crisis.

It's still unclear who is shorting Tencent in the futures market, but one thing is certain, the other party has made amazing profits from it!

If it is only accidental speculators, it is easy to do, but in case this group of people is premeditated to short Tencent, then next, the other party is likely to use various means to secretly attack Tencent in order to ensure the windfall profits of the futures market!

Judging from the funds and courage invested by the other party, it is by no means an ordinary person!

In other words, Tencent is likely to have provoked a new and powerful enemy for itself because of its sluggish performance in the financial markets.

This kind of person is the most barbaric, unreasonable, and desperate 'crocodile' in the financial market. Maybe they have nothing to do with each other's companies, let alone contradictions and competition, but just to make profits in the financial market, they will use various means to make the other company's shares rise or fall!

The board of directors was silent for a while, although no one spoke directly, but every shareholder and management, looking at Ma Huateng, clearly revealed the same emotion: Tencent has reached the most critical moment, and it can't go on like this!

An executive coughed, broke the silence, and said slowly: "Mr. Ma, Zelianke has not expressed his position so far, Zhao Zejun himself also has a certain amount of Tencent shares in hand, although it is not much, but the Tencent stock market has too much crisis, which is not a good thing for him after all." Aren't we, can we contact Zelianko one more time?"

Ma Huateng's brow furrowed.

Because in fact, just yesterday, Zhao Zejun took the initiative to contact him and once again took the initiative to talk about cooperation.
