Chapter 162: This is the financial harvester

What exactly happened at the Ali board meeting that afternoon, perhaps only the parties involved know.

Anyway, Wu Yibin, President of Temasek China, deliberately wore a wig when he attended the Qingyun signing conference three days later.

To cover the slightly noticeable wound on his forehead, he casually used a Band-Aid to cross it as if nothing had happened...

"You mean three days?"

In the Magic City venue, Yu Weilong shook off the hand of friendship that was extended by the person next to him, "You guys really screwed me over."

Li Zehua smiled and said, "Not really, not really. President Nie is here too. If you don't believe me, ask him. We are in the same boat."

He is serious about winning over Yunda Yuantong!
It was also simple and crude. It threw out a trump card right at the beginning, taking 1% of the shares of Pinxixi, which is about to be launched.

There will be no additional issuance, but the shares will be sold directly from his shares at the market price. The transaction object is not the company, but Yu Weilong and Nie Tengyun themselves.

Ensure that the two core figures get enough benefits.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough cash. The business teams of Bank of China and Pudong Development Bank will work on-site to issue loans in the form of pure credit loans.

After Li Zehua got the money, he injected it into Qingyun Investment, and joined forces with Hummingbird Group to form a joint investment group with Temasek, Gaoling, Magic Investment, Zhongxin, Bank of China Investment, and Tomorrow Capital.

Directly purchase 10% of the shares from each of them, and then Yuantong will issue additional shares of 10% after the investment, and Yunda will issue additional shares of 15% after the investment.

The two of them got the money, paid off the loan, and put the extra money into their own pockets, feeling very happy.

The express delivery company will receive sufficient development funds to take back the operation centers controlled by franchisees, purchase vehicles, upgrade technical services, and improve data network construction.

Direct sales!

The temptation is too great for express delivery companies!
The economic interests involved are not small at all. Once it is accomplished, even if it cannot become the second SF Express, it can still gain the upper hand in business competition.

What's more, the premium offered by the joint investment group was high enough, and with on-site supervision by relevant departments, they simply couldn't muster the courage to refuse.

Of course, there is a bigger reason!
The dispute over the equity of the payment system has arisen, and they don’t believe that Ali still has enough energy to play a choice between the two.

The specific process is not that fast. Even if the couple is in love, it will take some time to verify the valuation.

Just like the most proactive Zhang Lei, after making a phone call, he had to wait for Tengda’s response before he could arrange the next plan.

The more miserable Ahri is, the happier he is.

While waiting, he couldn't wait to gather a group of people to analyze it.

"The private transfer of the payment system must involve issues such as selling off the company's assets at a low price and transferring benefits!"

"These are nothing. He dared to do this, so he must have the tacit approval and support from above. In China, it can only be seen as news. After the excitement, everything will be back to normal."

Xu Xin saw it clearly, "The key to the matter lies in Yahoo's response!
Brother Chen, can your connections in America be of use?
Find them quickly and try to mobilize Google, news networks and the like to get the news out and make Yahoo's investors make a fuss.

Only in this way, Yahoo would not dare to contact Ali privately. "

He greeted Lin Wenhui again, "Temasek has such a great influence in the south, shouldn't it send a news bulletin as soon as possible at this time?"

Lin Wenhui smiled and shook his head, "The time has not come yet, just wait."

Then he said to the people with different expressions, "Don't worry. Even if we explain the whole story clearly, it will be published in the newspaper at least tomorrow. We don't know how long it will take for large-scale public opinion to ferment."

Someone is suppressing you.

It is true that Temasek is an investment group, but Temasek also has a financial holding group. Ali Enterprise Services is listed in Hong Kong and Yahoo is listed in the United States.

The dispute over the equity of a non-bank payment system that accounts for more than half of China's total shares, and the explosive private transfer, are both huge negative for the stock prices of both companies.

At this time, any major overseas news media would choose to keep the news secret for the time being.

Then contact financial institutions to make a profit.

America is very good at this process, it's just as normal as eating when a person is hungry.

Chen Qinqi thought for a moment, "So what you mean is that I should go directly to Goldman Sachs?"

Zhongjin Ronghui, who rarely speaks, reacted the fastest, "Why did you say it in advance? We can also participate! It's a fool not to make money. Besides, there is no risk at all, it's all profit."

The more he talked, the more excited he became. "Goldman Sachs and Citigroup both provide similar services. We can get as much as we can before anyone else reacts."

The heads of the investment departments of Bank of China, CICC, Pudong Development Bank and Zhongxin Investment had already gathered together and started to discuss the matter in whispers.

The Hong Kong market has not closed yet, and the American stock market will not open until the evening of Yanjing time, so they have plenty of time to collect chips.

They are professionals in short selling through securities lending.

The source isn't worried at all!
Didn’t you see that Temasek Lin Wenhui was on the phone, “What, you were on your way to the hospital and Ali’s people beat you up?

How dare they do that? You are the president of Temasek China. Hitting you is like hitting us in the face!

Oh, it wasn't a fight, but someone accidentally hit it? That's not okay either!"

"Is it okay to stage a full-scale fight?"

"It's better to take action! I'm just afraid of not taking action."

"It's a pity that I wasn't there and missed such an exciting moment."

"Hurry up and find out which hospital the president went to. It would be best if we could take photos of the scene. If we release them, it will be explosive enough and have a greater impact on the stock price!"

Don’t doubt the reaction speed of the financial circle. In just a moment, all kinds of information and instructions were continuously transmitted from Jinmao...

As the signal of speeding approaches, the Hong Kong market is approaching closing time in the afternoon. The young investors in the stock market are looking at the calm parallel lines, sipping afternoon tea, and leisurely preparing to go home from work.

Among them, the highly-watched Ali Group has survived the most difficult period of the financial crisis. Thanks to the huge market support in the mainland, its foreign trade is developing in full swing.

Its stock price has begun to rise steadily, which has benefited many people.

Wealth is attractive, especially money-making projects.

Lin Shizhong is an ordinary working-class man in Hong Kong. With a monthly income of more than 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, it is impossible for him to buy a house, and it is unlikely to be possible in his lifetime.

He is in his thirties and has not yet married. He lives with his parents in a "luxury house" of more than 400 square feet, and he also lives with his younger sister.

He usually lives frugally and spends little except for the 5,000 yuan he hands over to the household. He takes the bus and eats fast food, has no bad habits, never goes to nightclubs after get off work, and has almost no social interactions.

I can save about 10,000 yuan a month, all of which is deposited in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

His greatest interest was to go back to the second-bunk bed after dinner after work every day, find his seat and pull the curtains.

Use a laptop to look at curve charts, looking for the code to wealth, hoping to get rich overnight.

But today he skipped work. While delivering documents to a client, he turned into a bank and signed a loan contract for one million Hong Kong dollars.

Just think of it as buying a house.

"What are you afraid of? The Ali International I bought three months ago has been rising every day. Based on my years of experience, whether it is technical trends, fundamentals, or future economic expectations...

No matter how you look at it, this wave is destined to make me rich! "

Lin Shizhong was very happy with the loan he had just received, and he was dreaming about getting rich overnight. "Humph, Meiru is almost 26 years old, and she doesn't move out even though she has a boyfriend. I don't even have a little bit of private space!
I will move out even if I can’t apply for public housing after making some money this time!”

Just like that, he walked all the way to the stock exchange and then headed straight to the finance company...

"Zhongzi, it's done! I'll give you triple the commission, the lowest among peers. Remember to hire me to pick up girls when you make money. I heard that there are a lot of pretty girls coming to Bolan Street."

"Don't give me that. With such a high commission, the most I can give you is egg tarts."

Lin Shizhong left with the financing account contentedly, not knowing that the financial manager behind him was spitting disdainfully.
"Eat shit, you loser, if you keep doing this, you will lose everything."

Cursing as he did so, the financial manager returned to his computer, looked left and right, and couldn't help but open the stock interface of Ali International.

Lin Shizhong came here quite often these days. He watched over the other party little by little and turned this year's profit from -13% to positive 13%.

"Never mind, making money is what matters! This loser is a bit lucky."

"Ali International, keep making money, you deserve your continuous growth."

Looking at the good growth trend and the auspicious numbers, every second of waiting was torture, and I somehow clicked to place an order to buy.

Lin Shizhong was leisurely and took a position at the exchange to place an order. Compared to using a computer to analyze the market, he preferred this immersive feeling.

With every word he said, money was invested, and then as people watched the stock price go up little by little, they could feel the wealth increasing every second.

This feeling is so wonderful, so much more comfortable than picking up girls!
It was 3:45 in the afternoon, fifteen minutes before closing, and he felt a little hungry.

"It's another day of making a lot of money. Although the increase is slow, I have a lot of capital. The increase in this day is equivalent to one or two months' salary of mine!"

I went out happily and bought a few skewers of fish balls from a vendor. They were so juicy and tender, simply perfect.

Savor it carefully and you will find it has an endless aftertaste!

"Where shall we eat tonight? Shark fin for mouthwash, abalone and seafood with rice?
Why not buy a roast goose and take it home? We haven’t had a snack for a while.”

Having made up his mind, he did not leave but turned around and went back into the exchange.

In the last few minutes, the noise was even louder, and everyone took advantage of the last few minutes to place orders frantically, so as not to miss the opportunity to get rich. "It's not that easy to get rich, you think everyone is like me!"

Lin Shizhong glanced at the crowd with disdain and looked for Ali International on the big screen.

"?"

After just one glance, he thought he was hallucinating and wiped his eyes vigorously.

Look again!

As if he couldn't believe it!

"I'm going to die! What a broken screen! It's broken!"

"That's impossible! There's no reason!"

"Is Mars hitting the Earth? I went out to eat fish balls and the market plummeted by 4% in one go?"

"You're lying, it's all an illusion, you can't scare me!"

"You're still falling, Dad! I beg you, please stop falling!"

"Security, where the hell have you been? Your screen is broken, call someone to fix it!"

But the glaring numbers will not stop falling because of him.

This sudden change strongly stimulated his nerves.

He subconsciously made excuses for himself, but no one paid attention to him. He saw several people like him every day.

Fearing that he might suddenly go crazy and hurt someone, everyone quickly stayed away, and some even secretly called security...

On this day, all those who pay attention to Ali International are destined to have a sleepless night.

Institutions that received the news in advance borrowed large amounts of stocks and dumped the market frantically, with the price dropping by 3% in the last ten minutes alone.

During the closing joint bidding phase, the price was reduced by another 1%.

In other words, there is not enough time and chips, otherwise this stock could be sold at a rock-bottom price today.

There are no price limits, it’s so arrogant.

Of course, it is impossible for the stock price to really reach the floor price. After all, it is only the parent company of Ali International that has gone bankrupt, and there are no obvious problems with the main business.

Unless the largest shareholder and Ali’s management team fall out with each other and ignore the company’s business development.

They may even require the company to dissolve and exit the industry, which could lead to a 99% drop in market value in one day.

After the market closed, everyone was left alone except for the small investors who suffered heavy losses.

The most unlucky ones were the financial news media. Ali International's stock price suddenly collapsed at the end of trading, and not even a single punctuation mark was reported in the market, and the company did not come out to refute the rumor.

What's happening here?
This is not a small company. The market value of Ali International is over 4 billion US dollars, and % is to million US dollars.

I called around and asked around, but everyone was confused and no one knew what had happened.

Even the financial institutions that actively participated in it were confused. Anyway, they had received notices from above to short sell at all costs.

I made money, but I'm still confused.

The media people are helpless. Unfortunately, no matter how much they curse, they have to rewrite the articles. Some news headlines that are too late to be revised are simply published with a new title overwritten on the original content.

Each title sounds scary.

There is no hope for a market value of hundreds of billions, and once it collapses, innocent investors will be harmed.

The billion-dollar giant's flash crash dragged down the Hong Kong tech index.

Three hundred thousand households were liquidated at the same time, where is justice!

Anyway, whatever method is used to attract attention is used. God knows where Ali International will get 300,000 shareholders.

In short, when the news came out, those institutions and individuals who rushed to buy shares at the end of the trading day were dumbfounded.

Investing in Ali International is a set goal. After all, the market has been affected by the aftermath of the economic crisis, all industries are in recession, and there are not many high-quality companies to choose from in the entire Hong Kong stock market.

Ali International just meets the conditions for investment risk aversion. Many multinational financial institutions, local institutions in Hong Kong, and financial companies have listed it as a buy-favorable grade.

There was no news in the market that could cause drastic fluctuations in the stock price. When the market crashed at the end of the trading day, naturally some people rushed in to grab shares, otherwise how could it be possible that the stock price only crashed by 4%.

There was not enough time, and the transaction volume was only a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars. As for the several hundred million US dollars in market value that evaporated, it would just be returned as it came.

There was an uproar in the circle, and those who knew the news tried to keep it secret. Even Tengda was watching and calculating the pros and cons.

To send or not to send?

But this did not stop Tengda News Network from quickly reprinting the news from its Hong Kong counterparts and pushing this good news to people across the country.

When your biggest competitor suffers a defeat, celebrate with champagne!
But it was too early for them to rejoice.

Because this is the appetizer.

Hong Kong is not that big. Ali International’s business is only worth over 800 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The few institutions that knew the inside story in advance were extremely anxious, as there was less than an hour left.

I have to raise funds, contact banks and securities firms to borrow stocks, and formulate a selling plan. It’s really a headache!
Fortunately, I usually have a good relationship with the bank's securities dealer. After special communication and paying a little more than usual, I didn't even have to sign a contract.

After I passed the agreement with the official seal on it, the other party was not slow in transferring the borrowed stocks to me in minutes.

Then, just smash it and it's done.

They had originally discussed plans and strategies, but when the market crashed they realized they were not the only ones shorting the market.

So, what are you waiting for? Just grab the money!
It’s a pity for those small retail investors who were kept in the dark. They were cut off and cried for help. They just wish their parents had given them two more legs because they can’t even outrun the institutions.

A few fast fish that escaped the net secretly rejoiced after the market closed, but as the news spread, there was no negative comment in the market?
Some institutions even found through reviewing the market that those who rushed to buy shares at the end of the trading day were mainly large institutions?

Another institution that has bought and held Ali International shares came out to say that everything is normal and it is just a technical adjustment, so everyone should not panic.

Didn’t you see that the company didn’t come out to refute the rumors?
As soon as the news came out, there was a wave of criticism in the market.

The Gouchacha organization violently cleaned up the market and forced everyone to get off the bus. Fortunately, I did not sell. Not only did I not sell, I can even increase my position when the market opens tomorrow.

Just be stubborn and do it, don't be afraid!
It’s a pity that this is just the prelude to the storm!

On the other side of the ocean, there is a larger Internet giant, Yahoo.

Although its market value has fallen by half from $446 billion, it is still an Internet giant that cannot be ignored in the market. Microsoft once offered $ billion to acquire Yahoo.

It’s just a pity that it was directly rejected by the management!
It doesn’t matter if we don’t sell it for more than 40 billion today, we can sell it for 3 or 4 billion dollars in a few years…

For example, now, Li Zehua said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. At that time, Yadi was only willing to invest a few million. Today, there is still a chance. You can invest 50 or 60 million. Well, the US dollar accounts for a part of the shares."

Hearing this, Ning Tao wanted to fight with him. What kind of words were these!

What a bully!
But helplessly, now Yadi is drooling at the other party's orders of nearly 10,000 units.

Things are different now. The competitor Emma invited King Zhou to be its spokesperson, and sales are rising steadily. Yadea can no longer sit still.

This time, when he heard that Li Zehua brought back a huge amount of investment from Yanjing, he immediately sent Ning Tao, who had a good relationship with him, over, and now he was looking at him eagerly.

"Boss Li, we were wrong. Please show us a way out for the sake of our past friendship."

It doesn’t matter whether to invest or not. With Hummingbird’s valuation at hundreds of millions of dollars, Yadea can’t afford that much money.

Just hope the order doesn’t disappear.

Li Zehua thought for a moment, "Yadi, do you accept the investment?"

Ning Tao was stunned, thinking he had heard it wrongly, "What?"

After confirming it again and again, he was ecstatic, "Yes, yes! Why didn't Mr. Li tell you earlier that he was interested in Yadi!"

When it comes to business, there is no shortage of money or market.

Li Zehua has both of these. Ning Tao wants to kowtow to him. He is a great benefactor who gives money and the market.

"Interested? Not much."

Li Zehua held his chin up with a playful look in his eyes, "After all, this electric car doesn't require much technical skills, and players can find it easily on the market. For example, the Emma electric car advertised by Zhou Tianwang is quite good."

"Boss Li, stop teasing me! Give me a chance to live!"

"Yadi, are you interested in making batteries? Whether it's shrinking or enlarging, I'm quite interested!"

"what?!"
