Directly signaled Goldman Sachs and Bank of America Merrill Lynch to stop entangled with each other on the stock price, if the other party is willing to push up the stock price of Wuxing Technology all the way, then let them mess around. At the same time, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America Merrill Lynch keep a real-time track and backup of every transaction every day, in case they need to report to the SEC in a few days.
As for Shi Lei himself, he asked Duan Qinglai to talk to him alone.
Not in the company, of course, but in private. In a humble tea house on Huju Mountain, Shi Lei told Duan Qinglai about the cause and effect of the whole thing.
Of course, excluding the political story, what Shi Lei can tell is only the company's own work, but it also involves some more or less, but it is the most superficial thing, and the direction of starting is from the unknown source of the other party's funds.
"That's roughly the case, and I don't want to see such a situation, Duan Yu was used by Thompson, and Thompson is actually just a chess piece, but this chess piece is doing it knowing that it can't be done, and his heart can be punished."
Looking at Duan Qinglai in front of him, Shi Lei found that Duan Qinglai didn't seem to be very surprised, as if he had long expected that his adopted son, Duan Yu, and his long-time friend Tang Pu would do such a thing in his life.
"Shi Shao, do you think I'm too calm?" Duan Qinglai didn't talk about it, but asked Shi Lei a rather strange question.
Shi Lei thought about it, but still said with a smile: "I have already suspected you once, I will not do the same move twice." ā
"So, when Shi Shao was outspoken to me, I was really grateful. I know there's a lot of politics involved, not just because of the source of funding, but at my age, I don't have the heart to ask about it. As long as my own family is safe, politics is as far away from me as possible. Because of this, I am more and more grateful to Shi Shao, and this gratitude makes me not have much to be surprised about the things that Inuzi and Pusheng have done. Perhaps, I had long expected that the two of them would have such a day, and sooner or later they would be completely used. Pusheng is a person whose abilities are relatively limited, in fact, after ending the experience at Microsoft, choosing to return to China should be the best ending for him. With his seniority in the U.S. alone, there will be no big obstacle in returning home to get a job as the CFO of a large conglomerate. But his mind is much bigger than that, he always hopes that he can one day become a person like Buffett, but unfortunately, his talent and ability limit him. From this point of view, Duan Yu is quite similar to him. The same heart is higher than the sky, the same life is thinner than paper, and the same eyes are lower than the master. When I knew that Duan Yu followed Pusheng to do investment banking, I warned him that he would never be allowed to get involved in those illegal things, but it seemed that he and Pusheng took my words as a deaf ear. This is also his own fault. ā
Shi Lei also sighed, although Duan Qinglai said that he was to blame, he must still feel very sorry for his adopted son. After all, this child's real surname is good, and he is not an unscrupulous person to achieve his ends. And such people are very few in the investment bank. If the business world is a world where big fish eat small fish and small fish eat small fish, then investment banking is a condensed version of the business world, or even a strengthened version. All the dirt that can be seen in the business world can be doubled in investment banks, and the despicable tricks that cannot be seen in the business world are also common in investment banks.
Because of this, Duan Yu is actually an exception in the investment bank, everything he does is just to prove himself in front of Duan Qinglai, and he just wants to give his adoptive parents and his sister who has a good relationship with him a better life.
"In fact, Duan Yu is just an executor, he is completely kept in the dark, he doesn't know what kind of impact his actions will have, he just thinks that he is doing you a favor, and at the same time helping himself."
Duan Qinglai smiled bitterly a few times, sighed and said, "Shi Shao, you don't have to comfort me, I know very well that this child's surname is good, but it's just ...... Alas...... Shi Shao, you don't need to bother, you can deal with him as you want, let him learn a lesson. As long as Pu Sheng still remembers the old relationship between us, and still cherishes Duan Yu, a child who still doesn't know his biological father and mother, he will tell the country the truth. Although Duan Yu can't get away with it, he should be able to come out after two to three years of going in. During this time, it is just right for him to reflect on it, and the province will go down the road of repetition in the future. ā
"Old Duan, this is not necessary, although Duan Yu's behavior has caused some impact on our company, and even affected some other aspects, but since we know in advance and can calmly lay out, then there is no need to let Duan Yu suffer any losses. He's just scheming, he's just too young. ā
Duan Qinglai opened his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end he couldn't say it. It's just that it can be seen that his heart is still full of guilt and gratitude for Shi Lei. is guilty that it was his righteous son and close friend who betrayed him, but Shi Lei didn't want to investigate to the end at all, what he was grateful for was naturally Shi Lei's tolerance and Shi Lei's trust in him, and he didn't think that he would be complicit with them.
"Shi Shao, thank you......" Duan Qinglai could only say such a sentence in the end.
Shi Lei waved his hand: "Don't tell me this, now there is a choice, I will state first, I don't have to do it, but I personally prefer that you will complete this matter." ā
Even though Duan Qinglai is now covered by disappointment, he still has enough business sensitivity, and after listening to Shi Lei's words, he immediately nodded: "Shi Shao doesn't need to say anything, I know what you want to say, I'll come, since it's a simple business act, it's naturally more appropriate for me to do it." ā
Shi Lei didn't say anything more, he knew that Duan Qinglai already knew exactly what he wanted him to do.
Three days later, Duan Qinglai appeared in New York, USA, and then submitted an electronic file to the SEC alone. In this material, there is almost all the information about the sharp fluctuations in the stock of Wuxing Technology since its listing, as well as the data of almost every large transaction of buying and selling in recent days. All of this data directly points to an offshore company registered in the Cayman Islands, and this material clearly marks all the key transactions, according to these indications, it can almost be seen that every time this offshore company registered in the Cayman Islands conducts a large change of hands, it is the most unreasonable time for the stock price of Wuxing Technology to soar. Duan Qinglai said that this is someone is deliberately attacking the stock of Wuxing Technology, although it is not yet clear that the company's malice is not visible, but they have been pushing up the stock price of Wuxing Technology unreasonably, and the stock price has been pushed up from $30 to $100 in less than two months after Wuxing Technology was listed. Duan Qinglai believes that this company obviously has ulterior motives, especially when they already own more than 40% of the outstanding shares of Wuxing Technology.
After the SEC agreed to accept the hostile takeover complaint, Duan Qinglai again submitted a document showing that the funds of the offshore company in the Cayman Islands were mainly remitted from an investment company registered in New York, and the person in charge and founder of this company was Duan Qinglai's friend Thompson, who had known him for many years.
In the face of almost clear evidence, the SEC immediately launched an investigation into Thompson's company, and quickly discovered that the company's main investment came from Chinese mainland.
Just when the US Securities and Exchange Commission was preparing to launch a judicial investigation into Thompson and his company's dealers, the Chinese government issued a statement saying that a state-owned asset had been embezzled and lost overseas, and the Chinese Embassy in the United States immediately applied to the US political axe to freeze all assets in Thompson's name, and quickly submitted a series of evidence to prove that all the investments received by Tomson basically came from the loss of state-owned assets of China's political axe.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately intervened in the investigation, quickly took control of Thompson and Duan Yu, and immediately submitted a series of evidence to the US political axe department, showing that Thompson was one of the masterminds who caused the loss of state-owned assets, and Duan Yu was the direct candidate. At the first time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through two Chinese agents in the United States, brought Thompson and Duan Yu into the Chinese Embassy in the United States, and applied to the US authorities to bring them back to China for trial.
However, because Duan Yu has U.S. citizenship, he is not a green card holder, but an American who has been recognized since birth, so on the issue of Duan Yu, the diplomatic departments of China and the United States began to argue. As for Thompson, the United States has no choice but to accept the proposal of the Chinese Foreign Ministry to allow him to be escorted back to China for trial, because Thompson is a green card holder and only has permanent residency in the United States, not a citizen of the United States, which also means that Thompson is still a Chinese citizen, and his nationality is marked as Chinese. Even if he violated the laws of the United States, but he violated the laws of China first, he should have returned to China to stand trial first.
Very quickly, Thompson was extradited back to China, and the SEC's review of Duan Yu was unable to obtain more direct evidence due to the lack of the main culprit, and finally could not prosecute him. Just 48 hours later, the SEC temporarily dropped the prosecution of Duan Yu, thus ending the process of arguing with China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Duan Yu, who was temporarily exempted from prosecution, soon returned to China, accompanied by Duan Qinglai, to accept an investigation into the loss of state-owned assets with Thompson.
In the United States, because Wuxing Technology has been controlled by other companies, it has been affected to a certain extent. However, considering the influence of Wuxing Technology in the world, the United States also suspended Wuxing Technology for only three days before reopening its trading rights. All the assets of Thompson's company were frozen, and as lost assets of China's state, under the coordination of the foreign affairs departments of the two countries, the work of recovery was carried out.
These days, the exposure rate of Stone Group and Shi Lei is naturally extremely high, and the world's major media are reporting on this matter, but Shi Lei has been avoiding it, adopting an evasive strategy for all media, and insisting on not opening.
It wasn't until the shares of Wuxing Technology were relisted and traded, and the Chinese side obviously had the upper hand in the negotiations between the foreign ministries of the two sides, that Shi Lei began to face the media, saying that he was very sorry for such a thing, and at the same time said that he still did not know why Thompson and the people who directly caused the loss of state-owned assets were so malicious against Wuxing Technology and carried out malicious stock price indulgence. While expressing extremely indignant accusations against the company and its behind-the-scenes masterminds, it was also announced that once the funds were unfrozen and the shares under its name were also unfrozen, Wuxing Technology, a subsidiary of the Stone Group, was willing to use the purchase price of these outstanding shares to repurchase the full amount, and finally evaluate a reasonable average price, and then put it back into the market for public trading. At that time, all those who own Wuxing Technology stocks can give priority to the average price of the appraisal (this average price is obviously lower than the current market price of Wuxing Technology) according to a certain proportion.
This news is naturally great good news for those who have bought Wuxing Technology stocks, so for a long time, the stock price of Wuxing Technology has shown a steady upward momentum. Owning the shares of Wuxing Technology means that in the near future, you can get a part of the low-priced stocks at a lower price, so that most investors choose to keep the stocks in their hands as much as possible. Of course, the market is always the market, and some people estimate that after such a big turmoil, the shares of Wuxing Technology, which are already at a very unreasonable price, will have a significant downward curve, and they are not optimistic about the so-called average price announced by Shi Lei, so they took advantage of the opportunity of the market price to rise and sold the stocks in their hands. And these stocks were quickly digested by the enthusiastic market, and they were absolutely in short supply.
The reporters are all powerful, and they soon found out that Thompson was Duan Qinglai's friend for many years, and the reputation of direct means was Duan Qinglai's righteous son. It would be strange if the reporters didn't make a fuss about this, Duan Qinglai had to go to the United States again, deal with the media everywhere, and tell everyone in the most sincere way that it was precisely because he found out that it was his long-time friend and Yizi who came to make the stock of Wuxing Technology, and he, as the global president of the Stone Group, must bear all the responsibilities. This is the result of his personal report to the SEC. For this reason, Duan Qinglai said that he must thank Shi Lei well, and if he is another boss, I am afraid that he will not dare to show such trust to him at all, I am afraid that he has long thought that this is a large-scale devouring of Wuxing Technology shares conspired by Duan Qinglai, Thompson and Duan Yu, in order to change the equity structure of the entire Wuxing Technology, so as to become the helmsman of Wuxing Technology, the world's most profitable digital product company.
Shi Lei did not express any response to this, but took the opportunity of an interview with a fashion magazine to show the world an ancient Chinese proverb.
Employing people is not suspicious, and suspicious people are not needed!
This sentence, for a long time, seems to have become the object of media hype, they are analyzing this sentence, but also other super companies in the world to analyze and compare, want to study, to see if it is replaced by other super-large enterprises, how the decision-makers of those companies will face such a thing.
For a long time, the topic of trust of professional managers seems to have become the highlight of various business lesson plans, and what level of trust should be given to professional managers, which has been linked to the growth of enterprises and the enterprising spirit of enterprises.
Shi Lei has once again inadvertently changed the world, he is influencing certain areas of world business with his unique ideas, the results are unknown, but at least in the business world, where deception is the norm, a breath of fresh air has been injected.
Those who were originally ROC fans naturally pushed Shi Lei to the altar, and there were beautiful words everywhere, saying that Shi Lei is a model for the leaders of technology companies and even all enterprises in the 21st century, and many of his behaviors have become the objects of imitation by young people today. This is what Shi Lei never expected, he never imagined that he would suddenly change from a business genius to a national idol, and before that, the biggest treatment Shi Lei enjoyed was only to be regarded as the world's most valuable diamond king. And now, it seems that it is not only the girls who favor him, but also those boys who have begun to take Shi Lei as their lifelong goal, even if they can't achieve his achievements, they must try to make themselves a sincere person, a pure person, and a person who is free from low-level interests...... These three kinds of people are also what Shi Lei said in an interview with the famous American fashion magazine "Vanity Fair", which was a year ago, before the Five Elements Technology stock incident did not happen at all. Shi Lei regarded this as a joke more at that time, which was a familiar sentence of their generation, but he didn't expect that this sentence was turned out again a year later, and made the best footnote for his trust in Duan Qinglai, and became a sentence on the lips of many young people.
And the ROC series products of the stone group, naturally because of this trend of transforming Shi Lei from a business genius to a national idol, and the big sale, sales have reached a new high, the domestic foundry, obviously has a bad supply pressure, at the same time, Shi Lei also quickly opened up some new production lines, he does not want Yang Daneng's thing to repeat again.
During this time, that "he" seemed to really feel a powerful crisis, and once again hibernated, standing still. However, Shi Lei firmly believes that he will never be able to bear loneliness, and he will definitely take action before the two sessions.
The dawn before a storm is often the calmest
