Chapter 477: Counterattack
On July 5th, muddy-water, a short-selling agency, released a short-selling report on Game-sport.
According to the report, Game-Sport's earnings report will show a small loss this quarter, and Game-Sport's loss will widen further in the next quarter.
If Game-Sport can't come up with a good game to save the day in a short period of time, then their company's stock price will plummet. But how easy is it to make a hit game?
Especially for a company like Game-Sport that already has a certain reputation, as long as it is not a masterpiece, it is difficult to change the status quo, so Game-Sport seems to have entered a dead end.
Of course, if someone continues to invest in the company at this time, then it may also stabilize the stock price.
But this person can't be Li Han, because if he invests in person, he will startle the snake, and muddy-water will leave the market early, so they won't lose much, and Li Han won't make much, so he has to trap this company before he starts.
So, at this time, it was Ma Zai's turn to play.
That afternoon, Li Han made an appointment with Lin Haicheng to meet at a Baizhe cake shop.
It happened to be summer vacation, and Lin Haicheng, who was in college, also returned to Beichang City to help his father take care of the company.
"Teacher, are you going to make a big move again?" Lin Haicheng asked with an eager expression.
"You kid think you know me well, huh?" Li Han smiled: "It's about the same, I'm really going to do something, but it's not a big move." ”
As he spoke, Li Han's expression became serious: "Game-sport, go invest in them." Give them 200 million dollars for the development of new games. The 200 million funds are from our Qiaokou company, and your company is only responsible for the title. ”
"Is the teacher a fan of their company?" Lin Haicheng asked curiously.
"How is that possible? Do I need to play the game? The world is my game. Li Han smiled.
"That's ......," Lin Haicheng thought for a while and said, "Teacher, I remember that there seems to be a company in the United States that has recently released their short selling report, and the company's recent performance is really not good, why do you want to save this company?" ”
"I don't care about this company, and I'm not trying to save it, it's just a battlefield." Li Han replied surgingly, "In short, this matter will be handed over to you." Of course, after that, I will allow your company to join me and get a piece of your pie. ”
"I don't care...... Lin Haicheng replied with his chin propped up, "I'm not interested in that company anyway." ”
"But when you're investing, if someone asks why you're investing, you have to tell them that you've loved their company's games since you were a kid." Li Han said solemnly, "In short, let them believe that this investment was proposed by your company, and they can't be aware that I did it, you know?" ”
"Got it, teacher." Lin Haicheng nodded, "I'll check their company's works and do my homework when I go back." ”
Li Han nodded with satisfaction, and then changed the topic: "Then how is your college life?" Got a girlfriend? ”
"Alas, you also know that my identity is special, and there are many girls who are close to me, but it's hard to say what purpose I have." Lin Haicheng sighed, looked out the window and said, "I don't care, anyway, I just want to travel around in the future." ”
"Don't worry, fate will naturally meet the right person." Li Han patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, then let's do it today." You eat whatever you want, and count it in my account. ”
After explaining to Lin Haicheng, Li Han also returned to his home and began the next step.
Since this short-seller said game-sport, then he had to say the other party in reverse.
Therefore, Li Han wanted to make a relative "long report", but instead of going out himself, he asked Lu Minhao to find a puppet abroad and publish the news on the Internet.
Game-Sport did play a bad hand of aces, but that doesn't mean they've already lost, as they still have a lot of chips in their hands.
In addition to the IP of "Doomsday Warrior", the company also has some IPs that were very popular in the past, such as "Giant Killer", which was a smash hit twenty years ago, is a masterpiece in many people's mouths, but there has been no sequel. There are only three popular works of "Pirate Legend", and many people are still waiting for the fourth part.
Although this game company has not touched these IPs over the years, it does not mean that these IPs have no value, and they can continue to move out and eat their old capital.
In today's era, the big games in the game are basically either fried cold rice or sequels to old IPs, and almost no one makes new works, so those companies with more well-known old IPs have a greater advantage.
As for the shortage of funds in Game-Sport, it is also easy to solve, and as long as the new games are selected well, there will naturally be new investors. In this report, Li Han directly posted several of Game-Sport's most valuable IPs, and at the same time showed the popularity of these IPs and various data, proving that these IPs will still be loved by players.
After this report is issued, maybe the game-sport management will see it and turn their brains.
As long as Game-Sport is not a pig and follows Li Han's report, they will soon be able to make a comeback.
】
However, now is not the time, and the share price of Game-Sport will fall even lower.
The only variable now is when Muddy-Water will leave.
Even if this short-seller relented a little and walked out when Game-Sport's stock price fell to thirty or forty dollars, they could make a lot of money, but ...... Li Han has been dealing with these people for several years, and he knows very well that this group of people on Wall Street is like hyenas, their greed drives them, and they will never leave the scene if they don't eat each other.
What's more, even if they leave the market, Li Han will not lose anything, after acquiring the shares at a low price, he will release this long report, and then wait for the stock price to rise before taking off the shares in his hand, just to make some money and keep it for the future showdown with Kangda Group.
Thinking of this, Li Han's mood was extremely good.
"Whew-" At this time, Wang Man suddenly blew at him on the side.
"What's wrong, Meimei?" Li Han touched her head and asked, Wang Man smiled sweetly at him: "Brush up on your sense of existence, let my husband not only care about work, but look at his lovely wife." ”
"You're so likable." Li Han touched her little face, "To be honest, all my achievements are because of you." With you, I have a complete home, and I can work hard in my career with peace of mind. ”
"Then you have to live with me healthy until you are old." Wang Man smiled happily, "Come, lie on your stomach, I'll help you massage." ”
Li Han obediently lay down, while Wang Man gently pressed on his back.
"It's still a little useful for me to help you press it every day." Wang Man said while pressing, "You see that the muscles in your waist are much looser now, they used to be very stiff, and I can't even press them." It's like kneading the dough, and when the dough is kneaded, it becomes soft. ”
"It's good to have such a wife......" Li Han sighed with satisfaction, "Don't want to leave me in this life." ”
"You take care of everyone, of course I have to take care of you." Wang Man said softly, "Who made you my most important baby." ”
"I'll give you a massage in a moment." Li Han reached out and pinched her ass.
"I don't want to expose you, do you want to give me a massage?" Wang Man sneered, "If you want to sleep, I'll just say it, the old husband and wife." ”
For the next period of time, Li Han made all kinds of preparations, while waiting for Muddy-Water to continue to increase shorting efforts.
I have to say that the living environment of U.S. stocks is cruel, and one share can be traded, even if there is the protection of the circuit breaker mechanism, the stock price is falling too fast.
Five days later, Game-Sport's share price had fallen from $139 to $71.6.
Li Han knows that this is because under the leadership of this short-selling institution, some other funds or financial institutions have also entered the market. He figured that it might not take a month to get started this time.
So, in the next two weeks, Li Han went on business as usual, managing the company on a daily basis, and making money by managing money.
In the month since Li Han's "unification" of the rare earth front, the five major rare earth companies and China Rare Earth Group have stepped up their efforts to acquire small enterprises, and have negotiated mergers and acquisitions plans for eight mining companies.
After basically monopolizing the output of domestic rare earths, you can officially start the price raising action of rare earths.
When the time comes, Li Han will use rare earth futures to make a lot of money and recover the money invested.
It is not to directly raise the price of rare earths, but to indirectly influence, which can be regarded as his style.
On July 17, after M-W, a short-selling institution, released its short-selling report, Game-Sport's stock price has fallen to $30 per share, and the stock price has fallen faster than Li Han speculated, and he knows that many people should be involved in this short-selling. But unfortunately, this group of hyenas could not escape this time.
That afternoon, Li Han first sent someone to release his "long report" on the United States.
He didn't hide anything, just asked the people over there to mark on the Internet "China's legendary investor's evaluation of game-sport", and then let the article ferment on major forums.
Although Li Han is a legendary investor in China, his deeds still have a certain reputation abroad, after all, he broke into the top ten of the world's richest list from obscurity in two years, and he is also the idol of many young Americans, and some people even forwarded Ma Shuai's interview and autobiography to him on the Internet.
Therefore, after the release of Li Han's report, game-sport stabilized almost immediately.
Of course, this report alone won't turn the tide of Game-Sport.
So, on July 18, Game-Sport announced that it had raised more than $50 million in funds, which it would use to make the third installment of the popular Pirate Legend franchise fifteen years ago. As soon as this news came out, it immediately sparked heated discussions among many players, and everyone expressed great expectations for it.
However, this is only the beginning of this counterattack, and the next time is the game between the two sides.
