Chapter 1493 Problems That Can Be Solved With Money Are Not Problems

Since Lu Zhou cut off the electromagnet research laboratory of East Asia Electric Power, the news about East Asia Electric Power has not stopped.

Recently, because of a research report on East Asian power by Yangwei Capital, the topic of East Asian power has once again been pushed to the peak of popularity.

In short, this is a short report.

In the report, Yangwei Capital analyzed the management chaos of East Asia Power and the chairman's unfamiliarity with the business, and gave the conclusion that "the revenue in the next two years will decrease by 11%-15% month-on-month", "the second generation can A series of pessimistic expectations such as that the controlled fusion project may not be realized".

It was half a century ago that East Asian Power was short-sold last time.

Now history seems to be repeating itself again, and East Asia Power is once again in deep crisis due to different reasons, and many people feel a little unusual taste from it.

Not the same as last time.

The last time was due to the turmoil in the general environment caused by the economic crisis.

This time, however, even some investment bank interns could sense the smack of conspiracy.

But in any case, the short-selling report has been released, and at the moment when there are endless negative news about East Asia Power, it has successfully triggered pessimism in the market.

On the second day after the report was issued, an empty order of more than one billion yuan was placed on the top of East Asia Power, which directly increased the increase caused by the fact that Lu Zhou had just assumed the chairmanship and announced the establishment of the second-generation controllable fusion project some time ago. , to return to the origin directly.

In fact, to be honest, Lu Zhou didn't care much about the stock price.

As the original major shareholder, his cost is simply unimaginable for people in this era.

No matter how capable Yangwei Capital is, no matter how much it can jump around, it is impossible for the market value of these stocks in his hands to return to the level of a hundred years ago.

He was just plain angry.

For the successful ignition of Pangudui, he and his comrades who were fighting on the front line of scientific research spent countless days and nights of painstaking efforts to complete the final ignition under the blockade of the hegemony.

It has only been a hundred years now, and the legacy he left to future generations has already been gnawed and riddled with holes.

It's also thanks to the fact that he wasn't really dead, otherwise, he reckoned that even if he really lay in the coffin, he would have to be revived by these guys.

Looking at the K-line that was going down amidst the turmoil, Lu Zhou said expressionlessly.

"You can buy as many empty orders as he puts up."

Xiao Ai: "Good master, but... you borrowed the money, and you have to pay it back when the time comes. w(Д)w"

"I know," Lu Zhou said casually, "I borrowed it, so maybe he doesn't. I've never been more afraid of anyone than burning money."

Although he is learning and selling knowledge now, he still has a serious understanding of some financial instruments.

The so-called short selling probably means first borrowing the underlying asset, such as the stock of East Asia Electric Power, and after selling it to get cash, spend money to step into the underlying asset after a period of time and return the borrowed asset.

In a sense, this is also a kind of bet against expectations. If the stock price of East Asia Electric Power falls in the future, it will be profitable to short Yangwei Capital of East Asia Electric Power stock.

But if the opposite is true, instead of falling in the future, the stock price will rise instead.

Then they have to buy back the underlying assets they sold at a higher price.

For this kind of short force, the way to fight against them is actually very simple, either use news to stabilize the sentiment of the market, or use real money to fight against them.

Lu Zhou chose the latter, which is also the simplest and rudest way.

Although 50 billion is nothing compared to the market capitalization of East Asia Power, it is still equal to the total trading volume of several trading days. What's more, he never thought of buying the entire East Asia Power, he just needs to eat up all the empty orders placed by Yangwei Capital.

Strictly speaking, although Lu Zhou's idea is correct, his approach is actually quite nonsense. Generally speaking, even if you want to fight against Yangwei Capital, there is no need to directly spend money to fight against their empty orders.

According to the general laws of economics, there are emotions in the market.

Under the pressure of so many bad news, it is definitely not just Yangwei Capital, an investment company that chooses to sell at this point in time, there must be other people or companies that follow suit.

If you have to give those "short forces" a head-on blow, you should wait until the good news comes out soon, so as to maximize your benefits. What's more, if you smash directly like this, without giving the opponent the slightest chance to retreat, while driving the opponent to a dead end, you also cut off your own retreat.

If it was Chen Yushan, she would definitely not do this.

However……

After all, it wasn't her who manipulated it, but a man who never regarded money as money.

Especially since he had no concept of money in this era, Lu Zhou completely used the 10 billion he borrowed as chips on the poker table.

A hundred years ago, no matter whether it was in Princeton or Jinling University, he was not afraid of anyone when it came to playing cards, and it is the same now a hundred years later.

But let's be honest.

Although his operation was full of nonsense, it really scared some people.

Yangwei Capital Group Building.

Staring at the calm K-line on the holographic image, the investment manager in charge of the operation almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"Damn it, which Sabi is against us! Even if it is bullish, how can it be so against empty orders?!"

Seeing that the two billion empty orders that he had just dropped were eaten up in an instant, his heart ached like he was bleeding.

After living for twenty or thirty years, this is the first time he has seen such a straightforward person!

Standing behind the investment manager, Song Yangwei's expression was also ashen, and the cloudy pupils were filled with visible haze.

Not to mention that his investment manager has never seen this kind of magical operation, nor has he, who has lived for so long, either.

He just put up the sell order, and the opposite side immediately received the same amount of buy orders, without even a second of time between them.

The two sides were deadlocked like this for almost half an hour, and he had fired 5 billion credit points of bullets, but the stock price of East Asia Electric Power was still hanging there in a straight line, without moving at all.

Where did he get so much money?

Could it be the AIIB...

His face changed slightly, but soon, Song Yangwei denied this guess.

It is impossible for the AIIB to lend him money to help him increase his holdings of East Asia Electric Power’s stock. This is not in compliance with the rules, and secondly, there are legal risks. As for the AIIB itself, it has to make an announcement at least one week in advance to increase its holdings of any company's stocks, and it is impossible to start bailing out the moment it just makes a move.

In this way, there is only one possibility left.

That is, that guy mortgaged his stock and borrowed money to trade against him...

"This lunatic..." Squeezing these words out of his mouth, Song Yangwei gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't he afraid that he will be wiped out by the rest of the board?"

Such a straightforward operation mode was probably done by that guy himself.

However, it was precisely because of Lu Zhou's "uprightness" that Song Yangwei gradually felt a little tricky.

The 5 billion empty order was smashed down without even a splash. Even if they show off their capital, it is impossible to casually take out 5 billion for nothing.

The financial crocodiles who were ready to go and planned to follow Yangwei Capital to rob a wave, after seeing that this bone is so difficult to crack, now they have become cautious, and they are going to wait and see the situation before considering whether to take action.

After all, many people have fought in the financial field for most of their lives, and this is the first time they have seen such a head-to-head contest. The short order and the buy order are swiped against each other, and they are not even given a second of flexibility, and they are all eaten at the price.

How optimistic do you have to be about the future of your business?

Especially Academician Lu himself is the one paying the bill...

Many people even began to speculate whether the second-generation controllable fusion technology was already in sight, which is why he was so confident. After all, logically speaking, they really couldn't figure out why Lu Zhou did this.

In the blink of an eye, another two billion was thrown out.

Looking at the column representing trading volume which was four times higher than yesterday, the investment manager sitting at the desk finally started to feel scared. After swallowing, he turned to look at the chairman and said nervously.

"Dong, chairman..."

Song Yangwei said with a gloomy expression.

"What's wrong?"

"We..." the investment manager swallowed, and asked in a low voice, "Are you still smashing? I feel that there may be some problems with our research report, or there is no movement at all until now."

"What are you panicking, I didn't tell you to stop, so don't stop," Song Yangwei stared at the K-line on the holographic screen that not only did not fluctuate at all, but even started to rise, the expression on Song Yangwei's face became more and more gloomy, and he paused After a while, he continued to order, "Wait until the afternoon, and put a one billion sale order on it. The remaining bullets are saved until this weekend. Don't be afraid, I still have a hole card in my hand that is useless, just follow me." Say it and do it.”

"yes……"

The investment manager shut his mouth and stared obediently at the holographic screen.

In fact, what he wanted to say was that at this juncture, if there is really any "killer trump card", it would be better to use it directly. If you wait until all the bullets are exhausted before using them, maybe they will be the passive ones.

Staring intently at the holographic screen, Song Yangwei had an uncertain expression on his face, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Having sat at the head of the Science and Technology Committee of the East Asia Electric Power Board for so long, he does know some black material about East Asia Electric Power, and the black material is not small.

It's just that if this thing is really going to be exposed, it will trigger a panic selling in the market. Although it is true that he can make a lot of money, it is hard to say whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the end.

If only he had been given a little more time...

As long as he sat on the position of the director of the Science and Technology Committee for another half a year, he might be able to completely remove himself from that matter, and it would be the kind without the slightest risk.

Looking at the deadlocked K-line chart, a moment of struggle flashed in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he walked outside the trading office and tapped his watch with his index finger.

Light blue light and shadow intertwined, and a translucent holographic image quickly appeared in front of him.

He opened the address book and selected the annoying name. After waiting for a few seconds, he looked at the open video call window and said with a gloomy expression.

"Let's have a truce."

Hearing this straightforward speech, Lu Zhou froze for a moment, then laughed.

"A truce? Mr. Song, I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Don't pretend, I'm talking to you in a deliberative tone now, it may not be the next time," Song Yangwei continued, staring at Lu Zhou in the video window, "I have to admire, Academician Lu is brilliant. My incompetent son-in-law, I should make amends for you."

"From now on, you can do whatever you want on the R&D side, and I will never intervene again. Correspondingly, I will also terminate this short-selling plan. Just treat it as a loss in handling fees, and wait for me to withdraw the funds. This time, it’s like nothing happened.”

Hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou was almost not amused by him, and said with a smile.

"Isn't that what it should be?"

"Don't bully people too much!" Song Yangwei became angry immediately, "I'm telling you clearly, if the billions of funds I put in don't come out, we're all going to die together!"

"Oh?" Lu Zhou raised his eyebrows curiously, and continued, "You're talking about how to finish it."

"The pool of East Asia Power is much deeper than you imagined. You have only been sitting as the chairman of the board for a few days. Do you think that what you see now is all?" Song Yangwei said with a cold smile, "I am in I have been sitting on the Science and Technology Committee for more than ten years, and I have seen everything that you cannot see."

Lu Zhou said thoughtfully: "In other words, you still have more black material in your hands."

"You can understand it this way," Song Yangwei said with narrowed eyes, "but if this scandal comes out, the consequences may not be under your control."

Lu Zhou said with a smile: "Then tell me, let me hear what black material is, maybe I'm afraid?"

"I'll give you a day to think about it." Ignoring Lu Zhou's words, Song Yangwei closed his eyes and said calmly, "After the weekend, the stock market will open. If you continue to fight against me, then I will treat it as if you have already made a move." choose."

Lu Zhou was so angry that he almost couldn't laugh out loud.

How can people be so shameless?

Who the hell did it first!

"If I don't shoot, do I watch you continue to shit on my head?"

"I promise that I will only get back my part of the principal. After three days, it is up to you whether you want to increase or decrease your holdings."

He didn't know whether he knew he was wrong or he didn't want to waste time on defense. Song Yangwei didn't wait for Lu Zhou to give a clear answer, so he hung up the phone directly.

At this time, Xiao Ai who was sitting on the sofa "meditating" suddenly opened his eyes, looked in Lu Zhou's direction and blinked.

"Master, it seems that there are no large empty orders placed. ()"

"I see."

After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou suddenly said.

"By the way, Xiao Ai, the person who called me just now...do you have a way to hack into his personal terminal?"

Xiao Ai: "It shouldn't be a big problem, do I need Xiao Ai's help? (*`*)"

Lu Zhou nodded and said.

"Well, I'm a little concerned about the dirty stuff he just said."

"No problem! Just leave it on Xiao Ai! ()"

Black material that can shake the foundation of East Asian power...

Lu Zhou really couldn't imagine what that black material might be.

Tax evasion?

Financial fraud?

These are the only things he can think of, but no matter which of these crimes, it seems that they are not worth mentioning in front of East Asia Electric Power.

"I didn't expect that after a hundred years have passed, the second-generation controllable fusion will become more and more difficult."

Looking at the unfinished holographic composition on the table, Lu Zhou shook his head, reached out to touch the operation interface, and reinvested his energy in the work that really interested him...
