"TMD, what kind of bastard is it, with such a big enmity with me!! This TMD is going to kill me!! β
The mansion in the middle of Hong Kong Island, outside the window is the famous Repulse Bay, and there are still a few yachts floating on the vast sea of blue waves, but Gu Yi is not in the mood to enjoy this beautiful scenery at the moment, and the precious porcelain ornaments in the living room have been smashed by him.
"Brother Yi, don't be angry." The bewitching and sexy woman snorted and caressed his undulating chest, and said with relief, "It's angry, it hurts the liver, and it's not good for the body." β
"Get out of the way and play!" Gu Yi pushed the woman to the ground, and he was so angry at this time that he was about to explode. The four listed companies, with a market value of nearly 9 billion Hong Kong dollars at the peak, began to plummet when they were about to break the 10 billion mark, and have shrunk to more than one billion.
It would have been nice if it was just the stock going down, but all his cash had already been trapped in it.
"Boss, boss! I'm here, you're looking for me. Zhou Zheng burst in breathlessly at this time, nodded and said, the woman on the ground and the broken porcelain seemed to have long been accustomed to him, and he was not moved by any surprise.
"How much cash do you have on the company's books?" Asked with a deliberate frown.
"I just checked it when I came, and there are still 240 million Hong Kong dollars." Zhou Zheng knows the accounts well.
"What? That's all there is to it! Did you TMD embezzle me?! Gu Yi's eyes were red, and he yelled loudly at his most powerful henchman.
"How is it possible, I have always been loyal to my boss, and there are only so many left after we acquired Jianlian Company last time." Zhou Zheng had a bitter face, who is this Nima looking for.
"Rubbish, it's all fucking rubbish!" At this moment, Gu Yi was completely lost in his mind, and then pressed a phone number, "Yuping, how much do you still have in your Shencheng business account?" β
"It's only more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, I won't tell you first, the reporter is here again!" The voice of the beep reminded him that he had hung up the phone in a hurry, the news of the original wife made Gu Yi's mood fall to the bottom, although the two of them played their own games, but their interests were the same, she would definitely not lie to him at this time.
The total liquidity of less than 300 million yuan is not helpful for the current situation at all, and even if it is invested, it will be wasted. If you want to buy back shares on a large scale and pull up the price and then untie it, you must invest at least 2 billion Hong Kong dollars to revive this dead end.
With all his cash flow cut off, he has no money to make other investments, let alone develop the high-end land he has hoarded.
"Boss, did you think it was the kid surnamed Chen who did it?" Zhou Zheng, the dog-headed military advisor, suddenly came to say.
"Fart, you're a pig brain! He's just a deflated guy who does the Internet, and he cheats those venture capitalists. If he had known about stocks, he would have been tempted by my proposal! Gu Yi directly scolded Zhou Zheng for being bloody, Chen Bo was like a slippery loach except for a courier company, and he couldn't find trouble if he wanted to. He doesn't understand the Internet, and as for using the media and public opinion to build momentum, he knows very little about him, a marketman with only primary school education, and he still firmly believes that no one doesn't like money, and if there is, it can only mean that he doesn't understand this line of work and doesn't dare to take risks. But he completely ignored how many Hong Kong companies he offended and how much resentment he created in the process of acquiring land regardless of his appearance. And you are still so arrogant on other people's turf, and you are still very high-profile in your work, and you don't take others seriously at all. Even if Hong Kong Island has returned, others are also deep-rooted local tycoons, and others are eager to fall into the ground.
Zhou Zheng knew all this, but he opened his mouth and swallowed all the words he wanted to say into his stomach.
And that's not all, and with it comes an overwhelming amount of negativity. Although the couple has appeared in public many times to assure all the media that the company's cash flow is absolutely fine, and they are very confident in the future, and even proposed an upcoming share repurchase package.
But just the icing on the cake, regardless of the fact that the banks couldn't sit still at all, not only did not accept his request for another loan, but also jointly applied to freeze all the company accounts under the names of Gu Yi and his wife, and a total of 8 billion bank arrears surfaced, and the company's stock at this time had fallen to 3 cents per share, which had become garbage in the garbage.
If it is one step later, there is no guarantee of these two or three hundred million in cash, and the bank will lose a mess and have no skin.
The Stock Exchange then directly announced the suspension of trading of the four companies, and the Economic Crime Bureau of the Hong Kong Island Police Station received a real-name report that the decadent husband and wife were brought back for investigation because they were suspected of illegally manipulating the securities market, and the whistleblower was his confidant Zhou Zheng.
The news of the fall of the richest man in Shanghai on Hong Kong Island spread throughout the country in an instant, causing an uproar, and Gu Yi's black history was all turned upside down.
The words "gangster", "gangster", "scoundrel", "ruffian", and "ruffian" all seemed to be insufficient to sum up his legendary life, so he was imprisoned and awaited the severe punishment of the law.
"Cheng Hao, see the results." Chen Bo smiled and said to Su Chenghao, "The financial market has its own rules of the game, and he is a small shrimp character who is self-righteous and started by fishing for the wrong side, but he wants to keep playing like this, and he may not know how to die, and the ending is already doomed." β
"In this way, isn't every listed company has such a risk?"
"Only the shell leather bag company has such a risk, because it has no substantive business content at all, and it is all relying on the false accounts packaged to deceive the trust of investors. If you have quality assets, you're more than enough to protect yourself from risk, except during the Great Depression. β
Chen Bo patiently explained to him that there were indeed large real estate developers on Hong Kong Island who fell into the trap this time, and Chris was just an introduction in the early stage. This Gu Yi has too many enemies, and it is completely beyond his expectations that everyone shouts and beats, and it is really the wall that everyone pushes, even if he doesn't make a move, sooner or later he will have to be put on a beating.
Whether it is long or short, Chris's operation is wonderful enough, and he quietly walked away with the three billion Hong Kong dollars looted without leaving a trace.
If you change companies, there will definitely be no such effect, this biggest loophole is exposed by Gu Yi himself, so that the capitalists who smell blood catch the sore spot, and the blow is fatal, and it also makes him destitute and destitute!
Quietly disposed of his opponents, and all of them were behind the scenes, no one could have thought that he was actually planning and leading. This made Su Chenghao feel that the unfamiliar financial market was so magical, and he couldn't help but have a little more respect for Chen Bo.
"You take this back first, and look for any breakthroughs." Chen Bo took the opportunity to hand him the materials of the World Financial Center, which was about to become his heart disease, so he simply asked Su Chenghao to study this troublesome matter, maybe he found something.
"Okay, I'll leave it to me!" Su Chenghao said with some excitement, the job given to him by Chen Bo could not be a simple task, but each one was definitely a challenge for him.
Liu Qing, who went to Yanjing to negotiate, also sent back good news at this moment, Ant Company wholly acquired Excellence Network for 70 million yuan, and then integrated it with Dingdong. The reason why the bidder of this offer is Ant Company is because e-commerce is too money-burning, and it will be difficult to make a profit in the next ten years.
Therefore, it is necessary to use the power of capital to let Ant, which is also a subsidiary, first control part of the equity, and then grasp the right to speak. The original team of Excellence will accept it in its entirety, and the president of the new company is still Chen Bo, but the vice president is Chen Nian of Excellence.
The moment Liu Qing signed his name, the process of vigorous integration began, most of the employees would move to Shanghai, and Yanjing only left a small number of people to stay in place. As for how to operate in the future, we have to discuss it here.
When the acquisition began to be active, it already meant that the spring of the Internet has come, and the cold winter has quietly gone away, which is like a shot in the arm for the entire Internet industry.
eBay is still doing its own thing, anyway, it occupies the largest market share, and behind it is eBay, the originator of C2C, so he doesn't care about other competitors at all.
Dangdang.com doesn't know whether to be happy or worried, but the good thing is that there are only two websites that sell physical books, and now he is the only one left who is operating independently. The worry is that after the merger of Dingdong and Excellence, if he continues to sell books, it will definitely encroach on his market.
The first portal of the shopping mall, Suhu.com, is a wait-and-see attitude, his e-commerce itself is half-dead, better than nothing, although Zhang Chaoyang has this confidence, but the employees may not have this heart.
Teacher Ma from Hangzhou symbolically congratulated a few words, and then there was no follow-up, probably because he was holding back his big move.
At the beginning of November, the new martial arts blockbuster "The Heroes of the Storm", which has always attracted the attention of the entertainment industry, launched a strong publicity offensive. The TV series, which will be released on New Year's Day, has been jointly filmed by 8 provincial satellite TV for the premiere rights.
The total investment has been repeatedly increased during the production process, and it has directly reached more than 90 million yuan! CCTV has always been very cautious about martial arts dramas, so it will not procure. Other satellite TV doesn't matter, in order to grab ratings and advertiser share in the coming year. After watching some of the samples at the promotion meeting, it immediately triggered a frenzy of panic buying.
In the end, 8 satellite TV stations joined forces, and the price of each satellite TV was 500,000 per episode, and 8 were 4 million. The 44-episode TV series sold a total of 176 million yuan, setting a new record for domestic TV dramas, and also allowing Galaxy TV Production Center to immediately recover the cost, and at the same time became the leading large company.
The premiere right has always been the most expensive, and provincial satellite TV generally has to continue to subcontract after buying out, and it will not be compensated at all. It seems that more than 20 million yuan to buy a TV series is a sky-high price, but if it is distributed to a county-level TV station, it will be so cheap that it will explode.
