I immediately told Guan Bo about the strange phenomenon that appeared in the stock market in the afternoon, and then emphasized that this was definitely not a sell-off by those retail investors or speculators, but a premeditated and planned action.

"What does it matter?" Guan Bo said coldly: "According to the situation at that time, if we had invested money immediately, maybe we would have defeated Li Zhengtang in the stock market by now." ”

"It can't be that simple!" I immediately defended myself. In order to convince Guan Bo, I also deliberately sneered twice.

I continued, "Haven't you figured it out? Mr. Guan! You have been carried away by interests and only see the good side for yourself, have you ever thought about what we can do if this is a trap? ”

My words had an immediate effect, and Guan Bo immediately thought about my words. I immediately said, "Well, according to your analysis, or rather, according to the analysis of the operators, maybe this is a good opportunity, but don't you think it's too easy for this opportunity to come?" ”

Guan Bo was still thinking.

I deliberately slowed down my speech and said slowly: "In this world, there is no such thing as pie in the sky. No one will be nice to you for no reason, and no one will harm you for no reason. This good thing came so easily, can we really believe it so lightly?

Guan Bo immediately thought of the possibility here. In fact, Guan Bo himself is already an old fox, as an outstanding entrepreneur, his ability to perceive crises was originally extremely sensitive, but it is a pity that before facing the great opportunity to defeat Li Zhengtang, an old opponent, he lost his ability to analyze calmly because of a moment of excitement.

Sure enough, under the guidance of my words, he immediately thought about the possibilities.

I continued to speak calmly, and said: "Today's matter, in my opinion, in addition to the one that is beneficial to us, there are at least two other possibilities, but the two possibilities that I have come up with are very unfavorable to us. ”

"Go on." Listening to his voice, Guan Bo has completely regained his composure.

I smirked in my heart, but I didn't dare to reveal it in the slightest.

The first possibility is that Li Zhengtang did it himself. His motive is actually very simple, to set a trap to induce us to smash all the money in our hands. Maybe we can push the stock price down to a very low price today, but tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will definitely face an embarrassing situation where we have no chips in our hands and can only watch others play. It is very likely that Li Zhengtang just used this trap to suck our funds dry, but he himself secretly left some chips, and when the money in our hands ran out, he could easily pull up the stock price tomorrow. At that time, we had no money in our hands, so we could only stare at him and play. What can we do without money? Do you spit on him? ”

Guan Bo didn't speak.

I calmed down and continued, "As for the second possibility. I deliberately kept my voice low, and then said carefully, "I suspect we've probably been targeted!" ”

"Targeted?"

Although he was not in front of him, I was sure that Guan Bo must have frowned when he said this, and his eyes showed the same kind of pressing gaze in his eyes.

"That's right." I continued: "It is possible that those international speculators are playing tricks on me, but I suspect that this person who is making waves in the stock market may have something to do with the person who assassinated me two times before!" ”

Guan Bo said coldly: "Why do you think so? ”

"Both of these things were secretly done by someone, and they were both related to me. Before I have a more plausible explanation, I can only link them together and treat them as enemies. Caution is better. I replied cautiously.

I know very well in my heart that these two things could never have been done by the same group, and in the phone call with Li Zhengtang just now, my point of view has been very clear. But in order to deal with Guan Bo, this is still a very good excuse after all.

Guan Bo was silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then he suddenly spoke: "This matter is indeed a bit strange, and there is nothing to say if you are cautious." But even if what you just said is right, even if today's incident is really a trap, you just don't step on it, why do you still throw money into it to protect the disk? Why did he help Li Zhengtang pull up the stock market? ”

I was speechless for a moment. This question really hit the nail on the head, and it hit me to the point at once.

Why? Why? Why exactly?

Thoughts flashed through my mind, but I couldn't stop, and I continued to say in a calm tone, "Of course I have a reason to do this. ”

I didn't dare to show even a little dumbfounded by Guan Bo's question.

I said slowly, "We've almost thrown out our chips today. There is not much left of the Aode stock that has been hoarded in front, although we will steal a little bite with those anonymous accounts every day, but compared to the amount I threw out, it is too much worse after all. Now that there are people who are willing to come out and sell stocks, and the price has been pushed so low, we will not eat it if we don't eat it. I'm just trying to buy back some chips at a low price. Buy some while the stock price is low today, and tomorrow we can sell it aggressively again. ”

To be honest, the last quibble was a bit reluctant, and even I didn't feel very satisfied with it.

Even if I need to absorb some more Odd stock to accumulate strength for the next round of "tug-of-war", I don't need to make a move so early. And judging from the direction of the stock market in the afternoon, it is obvious that if I don't buy, the stock price will definitely fall all the way. Li Zhengtang was already helpless. He was completely caught off guard!

But to my surprise, Guan Bo didn't ask any more questions about my explanation, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, I can accept your explanation, but I still think that sometimes don't be so conservative." We have an old Chinese saying, called 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger'. You're so young, shouldn't you be more conservative than living in my hometown, right? ”

I immediately smiled and said, "I see." ”

When I hung up the phone, I realized that my underwear was soaked with cold sweat.

I was holding a pen and scribbling on paper, and countless thoughts flashed through my mind. I thought about it all night, and my head was about to crack with the thought.

Recently, I have developed a habit of writing down the questions in my head with a pen whenever I am thinking, and then scribbling on the paper with my own thoughts. This habit was influenced by Li Zhengtang. And Li Zhengtang, hehe, it's a little funny to say, it's actually the statement in a biography he read many years ago, and he learned it from Stalin. It is said that Stalin had such a habit of scribbling on paper every time he encountered a difficult problem and thought carefully, and he was particularly fond of drawing wolves, so every time the former Soviet Führer made a heavy decision, his notebook was always full of sketches of wolves.

Thinking too far, I quickly gathered my thoughts, and I found that after thinking too much about things, my mind would be very tired, and I would no longer be able to concentrate at all.

I looked at my watch and it was already four o'clock in the morning.

"Damn it!" I complained that time was going by so fast. In a few hours, it will be dawn, and then it will be a new day. The problem is that when this damn new day arrives, my problem hasn't been solved, what the hell is that mysterious guy *** trying to do?

Do you want me to fight for tens of millions of dollars again today and play with him? Today, well, no, yesterday to be exact. Yesterday, when that guy came so suddenly, I had already lost tens of millions of dollars just by the stock price on the books. I couldn't help but think back to that thought. It's like watching myself throw tens of millions of dollars down the toilet and flush it with some water! Do you want me to do this again today?

I drew two big question marks on the paper, representing two questions that I can't figure out in my mind right now: First, who did this? Two, what exactly is the purpose of this guy?

A big circle is drawn on the paper, representing this plan of ours. Inside the circle are two question marks, two puzzles waiting for me to solve, and the more I look at the drawing, the more I feel that the thing I have drawn looks like a skull with a fierce glare at me. I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, and quickly crumpled the piece of paper into a ball and threw it in the trash.

At dawn, I gathered three of my men at once, and I issued an order that made Byrne even more depressed. Today we are on vacation!

I gave Pierre and Amanda a day off, and then I drove the two of them straight to the stock exchange in Marseille. I'm not going to sit in front of a computer and trade today. Or rather, today I'm not going to make a move at all, to do nothing, to be a complete bystander.

In the morning, when the stock market opened on time, Bourne and I sat in the lobby of the stock exchange center, watching the stock price fluctuate back and forth.

Byrne was clearly a little emotional, and the expression on his face showed his dissatisfaction. I knew what he was thinking. He complained to me many times on the way out of the house. He tactfully reminded me that as a leader, I should not hold back at this time, and I should seize this opportunity to act decisively. I admit that he was absolutely right about that. If my goal was really to help MAK succeed in the acquisition of Odd, I should have acted decisively. Unfortunately, my purpose is the opposite.
