Reinventing the Millennium

Public opinion is very noisy and the Internet is very lively.

There were reporters squatting downstairs outside, and someone inside the building wanted to jump down.

None of this affected the working atmosphere at Hang Lung 23.

In other words, the financial elites, white-collar workers from large factories, and foreign employees who came here silently to report at noon have already done a good job of psychological construction for Yike employees.

When Fang Zhuo led Xu Kaiwei up, the employees were very calm except for their warm eyes. They had almost eaten internally. They were just meeting on Monday to see how much the stocks issued by the company were worth.

"The energy here at Yike is really good." Xu Kaiwei couldn't help but praise, "Everyone is very calm."

"We are very busy at work, and the domestic market of Yike is relatively less affected. You will know it when you go to New York. It has been very busy there recently." Fang Zhuo smiled and told the truth. The domestic market has a home court. Advantageous.

The assistants stopped following, and only secretary Liu Zonghong still followed.

When the three people passed by the lounge, the representatives from all walks of life who had been suppressed for several hours looked at the leader of Yike, and couldn't help but stand up.

There were a lot of people, tall, short, fat and thin, mixed with a small number of foreigners. They were basically all in formal attire, and their faces were surprisingly the same, and they were all rather gloomy and ugly.

Fang Zhuo took a quick glance and didn't see a familiar face, so he didn't want to pay attention.

He took steps to leave.

When a foreigner standing outside saw this, he couldn't help but ask to stay: "Mr. Fang..."

Fang Zhuo turned his head and glanced at this man.

Xu Kaiwei next to him watched helplessly as this foreigner, who didn't know which company he represented, started to tremble.

Fang Zhuo frowned and asked, "Why are you shaking?"

The foreigner was startled: "I, am I shaking?"

Fang Zhuo stopped talking, glanced at the lounge one last time, and walked straight to the president's office of Hang Lung 23.

Xu Kaiwei took a breath and followed behind.

However, Secretary Liu Zonghong stayed and said gently to the group of elites who had been instructed to come: "Go back when you should, or you can have a meal before leaving."

Someone insisted: "If I don't leave, I have to express our demands to Mr. Fang."

"It's time to eat, drink, and get off work at a certain time. Don't disturb the normal operations of our company." Liu Zonghong persuaded, "You just came here to spread the word. Don't act like there is someone downstairs who wants to jump. You are all domestic." Or in Asia, it’s not your own money. If the position over there is liquidated, the position will be liquidated. If the position is exceeded, the position will be liquidated. If it goes bankrupt, it will be bankrupt. The worst is to change jobs.”

The trembling foreigner just now suddenly staggered and fainted to the ground.

Liu Zonghong did not panic. While asking doctors to call 120, he said in shock: "Is there really someone using their hard-earned money to follow the trend of shorting Yike? Isn't it possible that they have added leverage?"

There were many people with sad faces in the crowd, and some of them sat on their seats with weak legs.

This wave of short selling on Yike...it was obvious that they had obtained inside information and were very confident, so they cleverly took the opportunity to get on board...

But from heaven to hell in an instant.

Liu Zonghong gave some instructions to his colleagues in the Secretary's Office, asked for a registration list and several reporting documents, and explained two things that needed to be done after landing. Then he went to the President's Office, picking up a newly arrived box of tea on the way.

It was quiet in the CEO's office.

Liu Zonghong placed the list and documents in front of Mr. Fang's desk, made tea silently, and quietly left the office after getting his boss's approval.

"Your secretary is not bad either." Xu Kaiwei blew on the tea.

"If you have something to say, please tell me immediately." Fang Zhuo pressed his cell phone and replied to the message without any intention of exchanging pleasantries.

"Mr. Fang, you are too rude." Xu Kaiwei did not expect this attitude when he entered the office.

"Mr. Xu, if you represent yourself, we are old friends. I will put everything away at night. You can talk or eat if you want." Fang Zhuo said directly, "But are you representing yourself? ? I just got off the plane, good guy, before I got to the company, you were waiting downstairs."

Xu Kaiwei had to change his thinking and speak faster: "Mr. Fang, I really admire you. You are flying in the sky, and the financial markets around the world are waiting for you to land. How did you develop this skill? Yes, I am here today. Came here on behalf of Goldman Sachs.”

"How do I practice? I'm not afraid of others harming me." Fang Zhuo said coldly, "What else can I talk about on behalf of Goldman Sachs? I regard Goldman Sachs as a partner. Goldman Sachs shorted Yike. What do you want to say? You are here to apologize. Or are you here to kowtow?”

Xu Kaiwei frowned, Mr. Fang's words were a bit unpleasant.

He advised: "Mr. Fang, we still have to talk..."

Fang Zhuo saw that Mr. Xu was stubborn and reprimanded: "Mr. Xu, if it weren't for the sake of our past friendship, I wouldn't even let you in. How dare you, Goldman Sachs, say anything?"

Xu Kaiwei didn't expect that Mr. Fang would fall out as soon as he said he would.

Fang Zhuo slapped his phone on the table and continued to scold: "Tell me, when did Goldman Sachs short-sell Yike? Was it after Bingxin approached Goldman Sachs to sell shares?"

Xu Kaiwei quickly denied: "No, Mr. Fang, Goldman Sachs absolutely keeps client information confidential!"

Fang Zhuo sneered: "That was before this? Okay, I always think about Goldman Sachs when I have good things, but Goldman Sachs has always been hostile to me? Tell me, how many positions did Goldman Sachs buy!"

Xu Kaiwei was in a dilemma and couldn't answer. Goldman Sachs did not do this smoothly.

It would be fine if Yike really fell all the way, but it happened to be the situation in front of us.

This party always disturbs three points unreasonably, and is even more unforgiving if it is reasonable!

"Mr. Fang, you have to let me say something." Xu Kaiwei calmed down for a while, helplessly looking for the right to speak.

Fang Zhuo picked up the teacup, his expression still unhappy.

Seeing this, Xu Kaiwei said rationally: "Mr. Fang, Goldman Sachs is so big and each department is relatively independent. I actually don't know much about the hedge funds there. I absolutely and absolutely support Yike, regardless of my status at Goldman Sachs. It’s still my personal position, otherwise, even if the United States asks me to come, I won’t come.”

Fang Zhuo took a sip of tea, his expression slightly relieved.

"There must be something wrong with Goldman Sachs." Xu Kaiwei observed the words and said slowly, "But I have to say that Yike is still very dangerous now. This option play is very beautiful. However, Mr. Fang, I heard that many people in the United States We are already looking for the SEC, so we must consider this.”

Fang Zhuo raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean? Is this a threat from Goldman Sachs?"

"No, no, Mr. Fang, I have expressed my attitude on behalf of Goldman Sachs this time. They want to strengthen cooperation with you and solve the problem. They are on their way here." Xu Kaiwei said seriously, "Now it is my personal opinion. Regarding the current situation, Mr. Fang, the SEC may not be really reasonable. Yike is very good this time, but it is really unclear whether the market can open on Monday."

He gave his opinion: "The two days on the weekend are the prime time for negotiations, the moment when the bullets are not out. In the final analysis, we all still want Yike to be good, don't we?"

In Xu Kaiwei's view, Yike's run was indeed beautiful.

The problem is that the timing of this announcement is obviously to use the two days of the weekend to stimulate the market and allow large and small institutions and retail investors to participate in pushing up the stock price.

But it was these two days that gave American institutions an opportunity to operate.

Yike is a NASDAQ listed company.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has the power to suspend trading when a listed company is suspected of violating regulations and needs to be investigated, or when it deems it necessary to provide clarification and announcement on issues that have a significant impact on the company.

This "thinking" is very questionable.

There is also a relatively rare situation. When the US stock market circuit breaker occurs, trading will be suspended, but that only happened once in 1997.

Therefore, according to the information Xu Kaiwei received from Goldman Sachs and American friends, short-selling institutions are mobilizing for peace on the one hand, and actively seeking support from the SEC on the other, trying to suspend trading in Yike to gain more time.

Yes, you Yike did create a run condition this time, but if you can't open the market, you won't be able to push up the stock price. You will still have to sit at the negotiation table after all.

This way losses can be kept to a minimum.

Xu Kaiwei actually felt a little bit regretful in his heart. If Yi Ke had announced it on a working day without leaving any time for reaction, it might have happened. Now, he tends to believe in the power of American institutions.

"So?" Fang Zhuo looked at Xu Kaiwei.

Xu Kaiwei said in a gentle tone that would not offend Mr. Fang: "Everyone can sit down and see how to help Yike solve Nokia's patent problem. Goldman Sachs representatives have received good news before taking off. Gemalto is willing to cooperate with Yike at a reasonable price." for patent licensing.”

Semiconductor company Gemalto also previously stated that Yike infringed and planned to file a lawsuit.

Now, this has become an extremely efficient bargaining chip for Goldman Sachs, or sincerity.

"So?" Fang Zhuo repeated.

Xu Kaiwei considered: "Mr. Fang, no matter what happened in the past, the most important thing for us is to focus on the present and the future. The past is the past after all. From my point of view, everyone can sit down and talk together. From the perspective of Goldman Sachs It seems that our cooperation is very good, and there will be room for us to work together in many areas in the future.”

"So?" Fang Zhuo asked for the third time.

Xu Kaiwei was silent.

Fang Zhuo took the initiative and asked: "Mr. Xu, can I say no?"

Xu Kaiwei pondered again and again and said cautiously: "Mr. Fang, I think considering the current situation, you must seize the best opportunity to negotiate and get the most useful bargaining chips..."

He paused and gave his opinion: "From my perspective, I think you should not refuse."

The next second.

Fang Zhuo spit out one word: "No."

Xu Kaiwei was stunned. Lobbying doesn’t have to be successful, but why don’t you even consider it?

He hesitated and said: "Mr. Fang, it's not just Goldman Sachs this time. Bridgewater Associates, Dex Group, and Man Group are all flying here. They are not only..."

Fang Zhuo interrupted: "No."

Xu Kaiwei doubted his ears and Mr. Fang's judgment on the matter. The opponents would never put their hope only in seeking peace, and they would never sit back and wait for death!

"Mr. Xu, are you telling the truth? Customer information has been leaked, positions are unknown, and I don't know about your Goldman Sachs?" Fang Zhuo looked at Xu Goldman in front of him.

He smiled coldly: "That's it, right? Is the meaning clear enough? No regrets, right? Can you understand what I mean?"

Xu Kaiwei pursed his lips, and Mr. Fang's attitude was surprisingly tough.

Fang Zhuo pointed at the old friend in front of him and said mercilessly: "I want the whole world to see your face and see how you persecute a law-abiding listed company!"

He stood up angrily and pointed at the door: "Qiaoshui, right, Dexi, right, Yingshiman, right? I'll sit in Hang Lung 23 and wait for them! Come on! Let me see who else is there!"

Xu Kaiwei looked at Mr. Fang, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: "Mr. Fang, what I meant is that I expressed it. I still hope that Yike can sit down and negotiate."

Fang Zhuo said coldly: "I won't send it away."

Xu Kaiwei took a breath, stood up and left the Yike President's Office.

After a while, secretary Liu Zonghong walked into the office, saw his boss thoughtfully sitting on the chair, and stepped forward to make another cup of tea for Mr. Fang.

"Did you jump?" Fang Zhuo suddenly said.

"No, after pulling for a while, it still came down." Liu Zonghong knew what the boss asked, and added, "I asked someone to leave the life mat first."

There are too many guests, and it’s hard to figure out if we can’t guarantee all of them.

By the way, we also need to prepare the medical and nursing conditions.

Fang Zhuo nodded and said: "Put a number machine at the door and calculate the flights. I'm afraid I'll see a lot of people tomorrow. It's most fair to call the number directly."

Liu Zonghong felt deeply that Mr. Fang was such a fair person.

"Ask Zhao Zhishan again, I vaguely remember if the Dexi Group and Summers have something to do with each other." Fang Zhuo said about the name he just heard.

This is indeed the first time I heard about the short-selling of Yike by Dexin Group, and it is an opponent that suddenly surfaced.

Liu Zonghong immediately took out his phone and called the lobbying leader Zhao Zhishan to inquire about political and business relations.

Soon, he got feedback.

As expected, it is indeed important to impress the boss.

Summers and the Deutsche Group are a bit like him and the New York Times. It is said that in Deisen, you can earn a lot of money just by working one day a week. The exact number is unclear, but at least it is in the millions.

This is a relationship that can be solved by going around and around.

"Contact Lu Peining and Geithner's people and briefly mention this matter." Fang Zhuo shook his head slightly, "After all, it has something to do with their money. If they can't even protect their own money, how can they protect taxpayers?" money."

Liu Zonghong agreed that this might be a small game on the other side of the ocean in the next two days.

Fang Zhuo slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and sighed: "It's not easy. It's not easy for everyone this time. People who jumped off the building, people who lobbied, people who threatened, people who offered offers. Tell me, should I do it these two days?" Let’s talk about it?”

Liu Zonghong didn't expect that his boss would ask him how he dared to give advice on such a matter so easily.

"Forget it, I guess there won't be too many tricks tomorrow. Xu Kaiwei from Goldman Sachs has almost said everything they said. The other companies just have more and less." Fang Zhuo said to himself, "I still want to see it in person Let’s see how the stock price rises, and I want to experience what it’s like to be the richest man in the world.”

Ding, the world’s richest man experience card is about to arrive.
