After Zhang Yue and Zhuo Wenxu came down, they were nervous and expectantly waiting, and now at this moment, let alone putting it back, even if they can hear the sound and make sure that they are safe, it is also a comfort. As for the ransom of 100 million US dollars, he also told them, and Zhang Yue was also distracted to think about countermeasures.

This time, I don't know if the other party was angry, or if the person was not in the same place, and I didn't call after waiting for a while.

Zhang Yue said nervously: "I see...... I'd better raise money first, right? The day is too short, it's still trading time, I have to sell some of the shares immediately to cash out, and at the same time I have to make an appointment with the bank for tomorrow morning...... Even so, it is still very troublesome to convert it into US dollars...... I'm going to see how many dollars the company has ......."

It sounded like she was discussing with everyone, and it was like talking to herself. Zhuang Zheng and Director Sun glanced at each other, and at the same time thought of a direction!

"Is that what they're for......" Director Sun frowned.

"For what purpose?" Zhuo Wenxu hurriedly asked. Ding Xiaoqing also looked strange.

Zhuang Zheng said in a low voice: "If the ransom is a few million, or tens of millions of yuan, it is not too difficult to do. But $100 million, or the equivalent of $100 million in Hong Kong dollars, is very difficult to achieve in a short period of time. Now seeing that Aunt Zhang wants to sell the company's shares to cash out, I suspect that this is the purpose of the other party. I don't know very well about finance, stocks, etc., but it is possible that the kidnappers, or the interest groups behind the kidnappers, are shorting the stock price of Excellence Group! ”

Ding Xiaoqing immediately reacted: "Zhuo Yuanhang is the leader of the Excellence Group Company, once the news of his kidnapping comes out, the stock price of the Excellence Group will inevitably fall, and if the Zhuo family's shares are sold in large quantities, it will immediately cause a sell-off." 100 million US dollars, it may be a billion, billions of dollars in changes! It may lead to a sharp drop in stock prices, and if it is listed in the United States and Hong Kong, the consequences will be very serious; Even if there is a limit limit in Shanghai and Shenzhen in China, once a panic is formed, it will continue to fall limit......"

Zhang Yue was shocked and looked at them: "What do you say...... What are their purpose for the company's share price? ”

She immediately understood, thinking that during the Asian financial crisis, Soros was shorting the Hong Kong dollar in New York, and he didn't spend too much money to mess up the financial market in Hong Kong. In the end, the Hong Kong government violated the free market to save the market, which also suffered heavy losses. That's for a region, for a single company, it's more difficult to say, it's easier to say, once it's pried open, then it doesn't matter if it's the Zhuo family, the entire Excellence Group will suffer a heavy setback! That's much more than a $100 million problem.

"You know better about finance, we're just guessing, but ...... But if this is 100 million US dollars, they should know that it is difficult to get, and aside from the risks, it is also very troublesome in terms of procedures. The front and back will plot so big, and even dare to shoot in the street, it is likely to be driven by greater interests. Zhuang Zheng paused.

Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Ding Xiaoqing asked, "What else do you think?" Let's say it all together! Time is running out now, and we need to figure it out together. ”

Zhuang Zheng quickly glanced at Zhuo Wenxu and sighed softly: "If this is really the purpose, then the ransom is not the most important thing for them, but the existence of Mr. Zhuo is more important." Really let him come back, with Mr. Zhuo's influence and personal ability on the Excellence Group, he will definitely be able to stabilize the morale of the army and even turn the tide. Then their interests cannot be maximized......"

"You mean ......" Zhang Yue's voice trembled a little.

"Even if they can really raise $100 million in a day, they may not release them! Zhuo Yuanhang's kidnapping, and even ...... That will accelerate the panic among investors and the loss of confidence in Excellence Group. ”

Zhang Yue sat down dejectedly, and Zhuo Wenxu burst into tears. If it can be solved with money, no matter how big the problem is, it is only a matter of money; If they really accept the money and don't want to release them, then it will be difficult to do!

Ding Xiaoqing glanced at Zhuang Zheng and blamed him for telling the worst result. But in this way, Zhang Yue can also be better prepared psychologically, so that he will not lose his sense of proportion due to impulsiveness.

"Miss Zhang, don't worry, our police are doing their best to investigate this case, and even the National Security Bureau has intervened, and we will definitely let Mr. Zhuo return safely." At this moment, she can only comfort her like this.

"It seems that more departments need to intervene and pay attention......" Director Sun has been thinking for a while, "You pay attention to the situation here, I'll make a call!" ”

The effect of contacting relevant departments such as the financial management and securities regulatory authorities by the national security will naturally be greater than that of the people of the Excellence Group or the police.

……

When the call finally came again, the man said impatiently, "Humph! Don't challenge my surname, if you can't raise the money, you'll be waiting to collect the corpses, and they'll be broken corpses! ”

This cold threat made Zhang Yue's mother and daughter even more sad, and they almost cried.

"Show your sincerity! Otherwise, this side will not start raising money," Zhuang Zheng said coldly: "Let me remind you again, if you delay for an extra hour, the police will find you for an extra hour." Maybe you don't have to wait until tomorrow, you're already a prisoner! ”

"Aren't the police listening? If they really have the ability, they should arrest me now! The man said disdainfully, "They're all in a hurry now, aren't they?" In addition to listening and tracking phone calls, what other tricks are there? Send a car to track when the ransom is delivered? I'm sure they don't have a better idea, right? ”

The police gritted their teeth and were eager to bring them to justice immediately.

"You can keep procrastinating! When the trading time passes, the Zhuo family just wants to raise money, and they have to wait until tomorrow. By the way, the mansion of the Zhuo family occupies a lot of land and costs a lot, plus the decoration, it is estimated to be worth 100 million, you dare enough to accept it. Zhuang Zheng's words are a temptation! If the other party really cares about more than just the ransom, as they guessed, but wants to make a fuss about shorting the stock price, then they will pay more attention to the stock market trading time.

"Humph! We are just asking for money, and the Zhuo family's house is like an iron bucket, and I don't dare to receive it if I give it away! The man didn't seem to be provoked, and after a pause, there was a slight murmur on the phone, followed by another voice.

"I think we can have a good talk, you're just asking for money. I can still get it......"

This voice is not communicating with Zhuang Zheng, but like communicating with the person through the mobile phone, and the person will pass the voice over to them.

I had already heard Zhuo Yuanhang's voice, but in order to confirm, I still looked at Zhang Yue and Zhuo Wenxu. When the mother and daughter heard Zhuo Yuanhang's voice, they were very excited, and they were covering their mouths at the moment so as not to scream out, looking at Zhuang Zheng's eyes full of eagerness and expectation, expecting him to let Zhuo Yuanhang say a few more words.

This glance has already made Zhuang Zheng confirm that it is Zhuo Yuanhang, but this does not mean that Zhuo Yuanhang is still alive at the moment, this may also be a recording, or must have a direct conversation!

"Uncle Zhuo, can you hear me? I'm Zhuang Zheng, and I'm at home with Wenxu now, and Aunt Zhang is also there. He quickly identified himself.

Zhuo Yuanhang is of course a smart person, and when he heard Zhuang Zheng's voice, he knew that it was the kidnapper talking to his family. Although he didn't know why Zhuang was in contact, he also understood the importance of the moment. "Xiaozhuang, I'm fine now. You and Su'er are relieved to ......"

The man wasn't stupid either, and he called each other to make sure they were still alive at the moment, and immediately cut off the call from there.

"Am I sincere enough now? This is a living Zhuo Yuanhang, and you can hear that he is still very calm. If you had decided earlier and paid the money earlier, it wouldn't have had much impact if he came back to you. Money can be earned again, people are gone, hehe......" After saying that, he hung up.

Let Zhuo Yuanhang speak, of course, it won't just be Zhuang Zheng listening, even if he doesn't speak, he can guess that Zhang Yue and Zhuo Wenxu are listening, and these words are advice to them!

Sure enough, when Zhang Yue heard that her husband was fine, her spirit immediately improved a lot, and she was temporarily relieved and nervous, and said decisively: "You can make more money if the money is gone, if the person is gone, the Zhuo family will be finished!" I believe that the comrades of the police and national security are also very willing to cooperate. But while you're investigating, I'm still going to prepare the money first, I can't let my husband have an accident! ”

The police have no choice, there is no breakthrough now, everything is comforting, for the peace of mind of the family and the safety of the hostages, they can only prepare the ransom first, and then further investigate according to the handover ransom.

But Zhuang Zheng doesn't think so!

"Aunt Zhang, please forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the plunge. I don't think you can prepare this money! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhuang Zheng's body. Zhuo Wenxu said even more excitedly: "Zhuang Zheng! What do you mean? My father's life is in their hands! ”

Zhuang Zheng shook his head and said calmly: "I know very well, and Uncle Zhuo also knows very well. As you have heard just now, when the other party was on the phone with him, he still proposed to negotiate very rationally. What's more, the other party intended to let us hear Uncle Zhuo's voice, but he was still hesitating and grasping the initiative, but I mentioned that the trading time was in the past and I couldn't cash out today, so he immediately compromised! What does this mean? ”

Ding Xiaoqing hurriedly said: "Yes, this shows that our analysis just now is likely to be correct. They don't just care about money, the real goal is to have a great share price! ”

Zhang Yue frowned: "Not necessarily!" It's understandable that they need a ransom. ”

"It's different! As the boss and major shareholder of Excellence Group, Zhuojia will sell a large amount of cash, which will inevitably affect a lot of attention, and kidnapping will not make a big splash; If I were a kidnapper, I would have given you access to your reserves, your company's cash flow, and even your emergency loan to the bank...... Selling stocks and cashing out will be the last step, not the desired effect! ”

Zhang Yue also listened, but she still shook her head: "No way...... Things have come to this point, even if it affects the interests of the company, I must redeem the voyage first! Even if Yuanhang may have to dismiss his position and hand over the right to operate afterwards, he needs to save the emergency first! ”

"But are you useful? According to the trajectory set by the other party, you can only go to the abyss step by step! Again, Mr. Zhuo will be a key figure, and he will play a mainstay role in the chaos of the company's stock price. It's impossible for them to put it back, but they will take advantage of the opportunity to build momentum! If he doesn't move, he has the initiative, and he is a valuable person; Start according to their wishes, and he will become a person to be feared! Zhuang Zheng said seriously.

"Xiaozhuang, this matter has nothing to do with you, I know that you are also for the sake of the voyage, and you are doing us a favor. Don't blame Auntie for being older, you're still young, what if you're wrong? If there weren't so many conspiracies, what if the other side was just a bunch of vicious kidnappers? Zhang Yue said slowly.

The negotiation that Zhuang Zheng helped with just now was calm enough, but it was a process that made her heart tremble. This has nothing to do with him, and of course he will not have bad intentions; But also because he is not his own person, he will not harm his interests, he will not care enough, but he will do bad things with good intentions!

"If it's a kidnapper who is really in it for the ransom, it's better to deal with. It's not a problem to delay for an extra day or two, and you can think of more professional excuses with excuses such as the need for board approval for a large transaction, or an application to the securities regulatory department. Or have privately borrowed cash from relatives and friends...... In short, 100 million US dollars is not a small amount, and the other party receives US dollars and Hong Kong dollars, which adds to the inconvenience and takes time. ”

"......," Zhang Yue groaned.

"What about my dad? If you procrastinate, will they abuse him? If you get hurt......"

Zhuang Zheng sighed: "Actually, it's useless for us to worry about Mr. Zhuo's safety. I don't know much about him, but judging from the phone call just now, even if he was kidnapped, he is still the demeanor of a business leader, still calm and calm, and there must be more ways to protect himself and discuss it, even if he can't save himself, it shouldn't be a big problem to keep him safe. ”

Zhang Yue and Zhuo Wenxu couldn't help but nod, in their hearts, Zhuo Yuanhang was a very capable person.

"That'...... If there is a conspiracy, they must have a financially savvy behind-the-scenes who is watching the stock trading of the Excellence Group, and if we don't act right now, we will know immediately. ”

Zhuang Zheng glanced at Director Sun, "It depends on your cooperation." Director Sun should have contacted the regulatory authorities, the financial crime department, and the Excellence Group should also have financial experts. Maybe they can delay the other side by joining forces and using some smoke tactics that don't attract too much attention and panic. Then find out what is behind the scenes! ”

These are really not his strengths, he is still too young, not omnipotent, and needs to be handled by financial professionals.

"By the way, we should also pay attention to the media and public opinion."

Ding Xiaoqing immediately said: "Now that the kidnapping happened less than half a day ago, even if the media controls it, it has not been reported in detail on the street." ”

"But if they are intentional, they can't block it, they must be ready to expose the news, just wait for the Zhuo family to sell their stocks, and immediately concentrate on building momentum!"

Director Sun nodded: "I will coordinate these aspects, and I also need Ms. Zhang's cooperation." The negotiation with the kidnappers here will be handed over to Xiaozhuang! I must ensure the safety of Mr. Hao Zhuo! ”

"Understood."
