Wanton God's Life Records

Chapter 565: Furious and malicious short selling
"Brilliant! Two peerless beauties fought at the banquet, and the reason was him..."

"Two Hong Kong sisters competing for husbands, the true face of the upper-class night banquet!"

"Lost Hong Kong Island's face, Miss Hong Kong is able to do this in order to win men..."

Leaving the mess of newspapers and magazines aside, Li Yue rubbed his temples. Upon seeing this, Chai Liuyi stood up quickly, came behind him, and massaged him gently.

This was the morning after the wealthy family's night banquet. Last night, Chen Kailing and his two daughters apologized to Li Yue together. By this time, their relationship had eased a lot.

Because of the two women's relief, Li Yue's anger had been mostly relieved at this time, but now he still has a headache after seeing the various arrangements of these media.

"BOSS, Mr. Dong called and said that the news about this matter is too hot and can no longer be suppressed. Any report about the night banquet of a wealthy family will increase the number of views, while the media that does not report will lose attention. Under this trend, more and more media will naturally participate in reporting on this matter."

While massaging Li Yue, Chai Liuyi explained softly:

"The reports you are seeing now are selected by me, and there are also some rumored reports that deviate from the facts..."

"Oh? What did you say?" Li Yue asked casually.

Chai Liuyi hesitated slightly and replied: "The online website of "Apple News" published a gossip article on the homepage, saying that on the night after the wealthy family's banquet, there was a sound of 'Pah Pah' coming from your room. 'Sound, it seems that you slapped one of the two Hong Kong ladies."

Hearing this, Li Yue laughed angrily: "This media really has no imagination at all, can the slap sound only be slapped? Besides, if I want to slap them, wouldn't they both slap them together? Only dare to slap one of them. one?"

"By the way, how is the acquisition of Apple News going?"

Chai Liuyi let go of Li Yue's shoulders, walked in front of him, lay down on the desk and turned on the laptop computer, her upturned buttocks reflected the perfect curve, and appeared in front of Li Yue, Li Yue habitually stretched out her hand...

"Oh, don't make trouble, I'm looking for information for you..." Chai Liuyi shook her body.

In the "serious work" of the previous week, both Chai Liuyi and Li Yue had developed good "office habits", which led to problems like misfires when looking for information.

This time, Li Yue did not continue, but directly withdrew his hand: What happened yesterday was not just a matter of course, he really punished the two women: Chen Kailing was dismissed from the position of administrative assistant, and there is no follow-up arrangement for the time being, Feng Yiying Then punish her to think behind closed doors.

But Li Yue also knew that Chai Liuyi and Chen Kailing had a good relationship, and what happened yesterday would definitely not have happened without her participation.

It's just that until now, he doesn't know how to punish Chai Liuyi: she formed a clique with Chen Kailing as soon as she arrived in Hong Kong Island, Li Yue actually doesn't like this style.

"found it……"

“On our guest list last night, there was Li Shutong, the owner of Apple News. He is a well-known tycoon on Hong Kong Island and a well-known pro-Western media person. We communicated with him, and Li Shutong initially expressed that he agreed to a suitable price. Selling part of the Apple Newspaper..."

"Because "Apple News" has been losing money this year, its total company value is actually not high, about US$3 million, which also includes the company's online website, supplements, printing plants and other assets..."

"Because Li Shutong has the full support of American capital behind it, it is expected that we will have to pay a premium of more than 5 million US dollars, or even higher, if we want to acquire all the shares. Moreover, just referring to this price, in fact, it is still impossible to acquire the full amount..."

Listening to Chai Liuyi's narration one by one, Li Yue frowned deeply: "We have been losing money for years, and we still have to buy at a premium, or even accept the full purchase? Liu Yi, is this how we do business?"

Seeing that Li Yue was angry, Chai Liuyi opened his mouth and reluctantly responded: "PLAY Group has abundant capital flow. This is how it usually completes the acquisition of the target it wants to acquire."

Isn't this just throwing money away!

Li Yue was a little helpless, because this was his own routine, but when he heard about Li Shutong, he had a decision in his heart:

He had heard of this man's name, or in other words, he had heard of it in his previous life. When he was reborn, Li Shutong was one of the famous chaos leaders on the island.

Of course, at that time, Li Yue learned about this person from the news. At that time, this rare man was already in jail.

Recalling this point, Li Yue remembered that he had also heard of "Apple News", a newspaper that was once called "support" by Western politicians. , At that time, the stock price of "Apple News" was so negative, but it was continuously supported by Western funds. The stock price rose instead of falling, creating a big scene that impressed countless stockholders.

Of course, in the end, the "Apple News" could not escape the closure due to its own perverse actions, and countless Western funds also suffered heavy losses as a result.

"For our friends, we can naturally buy them at a premium, but Apple News? For the sake of traffic, they constantly create topics about me, use my fame to make money, and are unwilling to bow their heads and admit their mistakes. They even want to criticize me. Making a second wave of money, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

Li Yue sneered and said decisively: "Liu Yi, don't worry about this matter. Let the financial department dispatch to short-sell Apple News..."

Chai Liuyi's delicate body trembled. Li Yue had promised her that after acquiring the Apple News, she would be responsible for media affairs. Now a light "leave it alone" is already a heavy punishment.

She hurriedly approached Li Yue, grabbed his arm and said, "Boss, let me continue to follow up on this matter. I will be very obedient. Recently, I have been researching information about "Apple News"..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Li Yue: "No, I hope you seize this rare rest time and learn from Concubine Qin. Although you joined the company with her, even your interview His grades are also better than hers, but why is she so far behind? You need to seriously reflect..."

reflection?
Chai Liuyi was stunned on the spot. She was not a fool. She immediately understood that this punishment did not come from the failure to acquire the "Apple News", but from failing to take care of the boss's emotions before and colluding with Chen Kailing without authorization... "But , Chen Kailing has been dismissed from the position of administrative assistant. If I take a rest, I will be by your side..."

"Just stay by my side, okay, let's go down first..."

Li Yue waved his hand irritably. According to his subjective point of view, he would not be willing to punish Chen Kailing and Chai Liuyi. Leaving these two close-fitting beauties, not to mention affecting his "life", even his work efficiency would be greatly reduced. discount.

But the superiors have their own set of punishment measures, no matter who they are, they must be punished if they make a mistake!
Chai Liuyi did not leave, but sat in the assistant's room outside the president's office. This side looked across the window from the president's office. From the president's office, he could fully see the scene of the assistant's room.

It's just that in the past, because of the special relationship with Li Yue, Chai Liuyi usually sat on Li Yue's office, but now it's just returning to "normal".

Li Yue recalled the things about "Apple News" and immediately started to operate.

On the same day, he convened the financial department, the original 12-person Merrill Lynch team, for a short meeting and ordered everyone to use all company funds to short-sell the stock price of "Apple News".

The financial department acted quickly. Under Li Yue's urging, they completed a short position of up to US$10 billion in less than a day. With their actions, the stock price of "Apple News" began to plummet.

At the beginning, many people were "buying the dip" because "Apple News" was the first media to expose the "Hong Kong Sister Scandal" and reaped a lot of benefits. Sales have increased against the trend recently, and investors are full of confidence, especially in "The Apple News". JPMorgan Chase, the bank behind Apple News, even announced its bullish expectations for Apple News during the day. It believed that the plummeting share price of Apple News today was totally unreasonable and that it is now at the bottom of its value. , investors can buy the bottom appropriately.

"Apple News" is owned by a large amount of Wall Street capital, and JPMorgan Chase is the largest institution among them. Its advocacy did not go beyond the expectations of the financial sector.

That night, Li Yue invited Dong Dashao to have dinner together and talked about the problems of the media industry on Hong Kong Island.

He said: "...For a long time, half of the media in Hong Kong Island has been controlled by Western capital. Even big families like Dong and Fok cannot convey the correct voice to the public. I want to use this opportunity to Kill this trend and completely change the status quo of Hong Kong Island's media industry..."

"Of course this is a great thing, but Li Sheng, I need to advise you. JPMorgan behind "Apple News" is a super consortium with trillions of dollars in funds. In the face of almost unlimited funds, it wants to change the status quo. , it is almost impossible to acquire Apple News.”

Li Yue smiled, and just said: "You only need Dong Dashao to use the resources in your hands to support me, and I will handle other matters..."

Li Yue, who knows the major historical trends, is naturally not afraid of JPMorgan Dagan. This super chaebol may have hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars in reserves, but what it deals with is also the global financial market. After all, Hong Kong Island is still too small to be involved. The full power of Morgan.

Li Yue wanted to deal with "Apple News", which was naturally a good thing for the traditional forces in Hong Kong Island. After Mr. Dong's good-hearted attempts to dissuade him failed, he nodded and agreed to cooperate with Li Yue.

Later, Li Yue made some demands...

The next day, affected by the "Investment Strategy" article by JPMorgan Chase Bank, the stock price of "Apple News" still rose against the trend despite the continued short selling by the Financial Department. However, at 10 a.m., it suddenly plunged...

A piece of news appeared in the market and caused panic in the market.

"The heroines of the wealthy night banquet incident, Feng Yiying and Chen Kailing, jointly appealed to the Apple News, demanding that the Apple News stop slandering their reputation, delete the fabricated false news, and publicly apologize on the front page of the newspaper for three consecutive days!"

Reports on the entertainment industry in Hong Kong Island are actually full of fraudulent deceptions. The paparazzi not only secretly took pictures of celebrities, but also wantonly tampered with the photos they took, making all kinds of eye-catching headlines.

But Feng Yiying and Chen Kailing are different. They are not celebrities. They are more public figures and beauty pageant champions. From this point of view, the damage to the reputation of the two goddesses is actually very harmful, so this news When the news came out, "Apple News" was immediately affected, and its stock price plummeted.

However, the matter of the lawsuit was digested by the market in the afternoon. The online website of the same name under "Apple News" even wrote an article ridiculing: "I have never heard of a celebrity suing the media because of the media's gossip reports. No That normal person would be stupid enough to do this, Feng and Chen are simply crazy..."

Indeed, such prosecutions are often a means of venting anger with little effect on reality.

But just after the website published the article, the share price of "Apple News" plunged again. PLAY Investment released its first investment report. The full text had only one meaning. PLAY Capital would bring US$10 billion to short-sell "Apple News".

The report actually has many professional rankings, describing the unreasonable valuation of "Apple News" today, as well as predictions that its future earnings will decrease year by year, and that traditional paper media will eventually disappear from the era.

These have actually shown some signs in 15, and in 16, a large number of traditional paper media have actually been on the verge of bankruptcy.

Li Yue's short selling of "Apple News" was not just to vent his anger. He made a professional judgment based on historical trends and the support of his own "financial wizard" template!

At the close of the day, "Apple News" first rose and then fell. The stock price showed a huge difference that day, from a surge of 10% to a plunge of 15%. Countless large orders were fiercely fought for this single stock. According to subsequent professional financial media analysis, this The financial competition between the long and short parties on "Apple News" has reached a terrifying level of 200 billion Hong Kong dollars!
With the release of the data, the industry was shaken, and many high-level people knew: This is simply a fight between gods!Finally someone dared to challenge the hegemony of Wall Street funds in the United States!

"How dare you do this? Behind Apple News is JPMorgan Chase, which has abundant funds and almost unlimited funds..."

"JPMorgan Chase was just caught off guard. Just wait, as long as the giant crocodile comes to its senses, it can kill PLAY Capital with a flick of its tail!"

"It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. PLAY Capital, which has unlimited fame, may become a shooting star in Hong Kong's financial world..."

That night, countless insiders and outsiders shouted.

Later, Dong Dashao commented on this matter in the media: "Some people, after kneeling for a long time, want others to kneel with them. When they see a newcomer, they dare to kneel to their master When he makes a big shot, not only will he not help, but he will also add insult to injury, loudly reprimanding 'Why don't you kneel together', these are the most typical 'dog slaves' of the contemporary era!"
