Chapter 275
: Stealing chicken but losing rice
"Well... I'd better pick you up at the airport, and I'll go to have dinner right after I pick you up. Tell me, where can you wait for me?"
Tian Sichun told Hu Yang how to get there and hung up. Hu Yang then asked Han Wen to drive to the airport.
When Hu Yang arrived, Tian Sichun had already changed his clothes and was waiting downstairs in the flight attendant dormitory.
"Mr. Hu, won't I disturb you?"
After getting in the car and sitting next to Hu Yang, Tian Sichun asked with a smile.
"It's too insincere for you to say this now. I have nothing to do tonight. I have a flight tomorrow morning. What would you like to eat tonight?"
Hu Yang knew that Tian Sichun did it on purpose, so he didn't bother to pay attention to her and asked Han Wen to drive to the city.
"My taste is a bit heavy, so I can eat both Hunan and Sichuan cuisine."
Tian Sichun didn't pretend to be pretentious and directly stated his preferences.
Hu Yang smiled and nodded. Don't tell me, he quite likes the other person's personality. What he fears most is that people say casually.
After finding a Hunan restaurant that looked good, Hu Yang and the others got out of the car and walked in.
I came a little late and didn't make a reservation in advance, so the private room was not available.
Tian Sichun thought it didn't matter if he sat in the lobby, so he asked the waiter to arrange a couple's seat by the window.
Han Wen definitely didn't want to be a light bulb. He found a suitable position by himself and paid attention to the situation around Populus euphratica while eating.
"Mr. Hu, do you think I will meet you in the cabin one day?"
Of course Tian Sichun didn't know that Hu Yang had her own business jet and her flight routes would change frequently. She thought she might meet someone by chance.
"Maybe, but I rarely fly on commercial flights."
Hu Yang only wanted a bottle of red wine. Tian Sichun also had work tomorrow. Drinking too much at night would not be good.
"Oh, I thought you often flew in the sky."
Tian Sichun didn't know exactly what Hu Yang did. He only knew that he had his own company and was considered a successful person.
Unexpectedly, the answer Hu Yang gave was different from what she had imagined, and she was a little disappointed.
Hu Yang smiled and did not explain. She took the initiative to say such things, which meant she was showing off. If the two of them could get to know each other gradually in the future, she would naturally know some things.
The two of them just chatted casually while eating. Most of the time, Hu Yang was listening to Tian Sichun talk about the interesting things she encountered at work.
Hu Yang was very relaxed and found this beautiful stewardess quite interesting.
After dinner, Tian Sichun said he wanted to go for a walk, so Hu Yang asked Han Wen to drive to the Bund.
The two of them walked by the river talking and laughing for more than an hour. Tian Sichun looked at his watch and said: "Oh, it's already past ten o'clock. Mr. Hu, I'm sorry, I have to go back to the dormitory tonight. Compare the flights tomorrow.
Morning, it’s too late to go to bed, I’m afraid I won’t be energetic tomorrow.”
Hu Yang smiled and said: "I thought you didn't have to go back at night. What a pity."
For some reason, Hu Yang just wanted to tease her. Of course, if Tian Sichun didn't go back at night, he wouldn't mind if something happened between the two of them.
"Hehe, there will be a chance to make up for your regrets. Then you can send me back, okay?"
Tian Sichun was not afraid of Populus euphratica's reputation at all, but instead made Populus euphratica useless.
Arriving downstairs in the dormitory, Tian Sichun gently squeezed Hu Yang's hand and drew circles in his palm, then got out of the car and ran into the building with a smile.
"This little Chunchun is very brave..."
Hu Yang was a little dumbfounded and signaled Han Wen to drive home.
The next day, Populus euphratica returned to the deep sea.
The first thing he did when he came to the office was to call Yu Hongbo back from Xiangjiang. The most important thing at the moment was to prevent opponents from suppressing Xentong International's stock price.
"Mr. Hu, it is obvious that the big funds in Xintong International have not fled. What we need to be careful about is their behavior of reducing their holdings when the market rises."
What Yu Hongbo saw was just the ups and downs of the stock price, but what Yang Hu saw was something behind the stock price.
As long as Taipower announces that it will sue CoreCom International, the company's stock price will definitely plummet. In the field of wafer foundry, Taipower is currently the world's first-class large enterprise, and CoreCom International is simply incomparable. Therefore, if it competes with
In the Xintong International fight, even fools know who wins and who loses.
Therefore, before the plunge, large funds that intervene in Xintong International stocks in advance will definitely look for opportunities to make profits and exit.
"Lao Yu, before the big funds involved show signs of fleeing, is there any way we can bring the stock price down first?"
Hu Yang didn't know if he could adopt this tactic of killing three thousand people and damaging himself by eight hundred, so he asked.
After Yu Hongbo heard this, he almost couldn't believe his ears. Did you hear it right? The boss actually wanted to short the stocks of the company in which he had a share.
"Mr. Hu, we can't come forward in person. If we do, it will be a big trouble. If we don't do it, we will hit a red line."
Yu Hongbo is right. In Hong Kong, the crime of manipulating stock prices is not a light one.
The two companies under Hu Yang's name are both shareholders of Xintong International. If he causes trouble in the secondary market and is caught, he will die an ugly death.
"Then there's no other way... Well, since we can't use our own funds, we can only think of other ways."
Hu Yang originally wanted Yu Hongbo to think of a solution, so he made a suggestion that would frighten Lao Yu.
"It's not that there is no way at all, unless the company can release some bad news as soon as possible. Of course, the news must be true, which requires the cooperation of Xentong International."
That's all Yu Hongbo could think of.
Hu Yang nodded and asked Yu Hongbo to go to rest first, while he sat in the office and weighed the matter over and over again.
Generally speaking, for stocks listed on the Stock Exchange, no big fund dares to raise the stock price unscrupulously. Including Zeng Ruhai and others, they mostly take advantage of the changes in the news.
This kind of change is very unreliable. If there is any disturbance, the stock price may turn from rising to falling.
Hu Yang felt that Xintong International's stock price could not be allowed to continue to rise sharply, lest the sudden rise and fall would harm the company itself and investors who had held the company's shares for a long time.
After thinking carefully, Hu Yang and Zhang Rulin got in touch. The two did not discuss the company's stock price, but focused on future development.
The two soon reached a consensus, and Zhang Rulin convened an impromptu board meeting. Hu Yanggang could not make another trip when he came back, so he authorized Ye Chong to attend the meeting.
Not surprisingly, a temporary motion was successfully passed at the meeting.
The next day, Xentong International issued an announcement. The company's board of directors decided to increase the proportion of R&D expenses to total revenue and immediately start research and development of next-generation process technology. In view of the increase in the company's expenses and costs, it may have a negative impact on the company's profits.
Investors are advised to pay attention to investment risks.
Fundamentally speaking, this resolution is not aimed at the sharp rise in the company's stock price in recent times, but to increase technological competitiveness and at the same time get rid of the negative impact on the company from possible future technology patent disputes as soon as possible.
This is the right direction. Even if the process that has just been put into use may touch other people's patent barriers, these flaws will be avoided when the next generation process is developed.
Of course, returning to the securities market, the short-term negative impact of this announcement on the stock price is very obvious.
On the day of the announcement, Xintong International's share price fell sharply by 6.9%. This decline continued for a period of time thereafter, and the share price finally stabilized at around 6 yuan.
"Director Zeng, there are experts behind Xintong International. We invested a lot of money this time, but the income was far lower than expected."
The funds Zeng Ruhai invested were not all his free funds, but some were borrowed. If you take into account the cost of this part of the funds, the so-called income becomes a joke.
But he couldn't hold on for a long time. He knew that Taipower would soon launch a lawsuit against Xentong International, and by then, its stock price would still fall. Therefore, he could only clear out the stocks in his hands.
"Hehe, this is called stealing the chicken but losing the rice. I suspect that behind this matter, that Populus euphratica must be working in secret, and his methods are very familiar."
Zeng Ruhai laughed angrily and hated Populus euphratica even more in his heart.
However, although Hu Yang's Huijia International Investment is a company registered in Xiangjiang, its business is in the mainland. Even if he wants to retaliate, he has no good opportunity for the time being.
CoreCom International has already fired the insider, and Zeng Ruhai’s attempt to make a fuss about CoreCom International’s stock price has failed. Taipower had no choice but to use its trump card and sue CoreCom International in Xiangjiang on the grounds that the other party had infringed on its own
Technology patents.
As soon as this news came out, Xintong International's stock price fell a little, but not a lot. The reason is that the company's previous announcements have offset most of the negative effects.
Some professionals even wrote articles saying that Xentong International had already prepared for a rainy day. No wonder the company was rushing to develop the next generation process as soon as its new process technology started mass production.
Xintong International's stock price went through a lot of troubles, but the price remained stable between 5 yuan and 6 yuan.
Fortunately, Hu Yang and Zhang Rulin made quick decisions and adjusted the company's development plan. Without this series of operations, let alone making Zeng Ruhai and his group cheaper, the company's stock price would most likely have fallen even more.
Next, is Xentong International’s response.
Hu Yang asked Xu Younian to assist Xintong International and hire a team of lawyers in Xiangjiang. This kind of lawsuit must be actively responded to and cannot be considered too much, otherwise the company will be crushed by the pressure of public opinion alone.
When it came to the litigation stage, Hu Yang put the matter aside for the time being. Anyway, the proceedings were carried out on a year-by-year basis. Without four or five years, there was no hope of a result.
"Mr. Hu, I'm so ashamed. The cause of the matter stems from my management negligence, and the result has to be ended by you."
Zhang Rulin finally let go of his technical arrogance and came to the deep sea in person to apologize to Yang Hu.
Chapter completed!
