Reinventing the Millennium

As soon as the news of the informal investigation came out, Ian was confused at first.

No one knows what this means better than him!
Investigated!
But not fully investigated!

Even, according to information obtained from Washington, when asked when the investigation will be launched, the answer is "wait for work."

The SEC has been working overtime for two consecutive days because of the Yike incident, which is understandable... What a fart!

The hotel where Ian stayed was just across from Hang Lung, and he could clearly see the lights on the 23rd floor from the window. It was already six o'clock in the morning, and the murderer hadn't gotten off work yet. What kind of work do you supervisors have?
"Ian, the SEC has quarreled many times in closed-door meetings, and now it can only be like this, there is no way."

"But an informal investigation is also an investigation. Is he afraid?"

"Also, if evidence is obtained from this informal investigation, it can still be upgraded to a formal investigation. You can inform Fang Zhuo of this."

Ian looked at the opposite floor and listened to the voice of his colleagues on the phone. He was silent for a long time, and said euphemistically, "Fang Zhuo has already hid in fear."

"That would be great! To take advantage of his mood, we can..."

Boom, the phone was hung up directly.

Ian tried to contact Fang Zhuo as soon as he got the news, but after getting no results, he learned from the representative of the small organization sleeping in Yike's lounge that there was no one in the president's office early last night, and all the people working now are working with him. United States docking staff.

The current situation is very embarrassing.

There are less than 16 hours left until the Nasdaq opens on Monday.

The SEC obviously can't count on it. Even if it is upgraded to a formal investigation afterwards, it will be a wave of death after the market opens on Monday. What's the point?
Regardless of whether it is Yike or Bingxin, whether it is patent litigation or obstacles, it will take time. However, it is very urgent from the beginning to the end, and the real effect will be after losing money.

Ian felt that it was very difficult. What Fang Zhuo said yesterday morning was okay. He is the kind of person who pays more attention to practical interests. manner.

The time is tight and the task is heavy. This time, there are nearly 80 people who came to Shanghai in a swarm, representing organizations and funds of all sizes. How can we explain to everyone that the situation has been dealt with now?
When Ian thought about it this way, his thoughts became much clearer. Since he couldn't explain it, he wouldn't explain it.

It's not that they haven't tried hard, the Carlyle Group has really tried, and the SEC is really holding back.

Ian looked at the 23rd floor opposite and sighed.

If I can't contact Fang Zhuo by myself, there is always someone who can.

Come out, Goldman Sachs!

Ian called Philip and asked straightforwardly, "Where is Fang Zhuo? I want to talk to him."

"How do I know where he is? I can't contact him either." Philip said angrily.

"Don't be stupid, I have already contacted Paulson, now is the time for us to talk." Ian said calmly.

Philip looked at Paulson who was chatting and laughing with Mr. Fang in the living room of the suite, and was very dissatisfied. How could Ian lie.

He said patiently: "I really can't contact him, and Goldman Sachs also wants to talk to him, how did this happen? What happened? Why did the SEC give an informal investigation? Robert from Nasdaq Have you arrived in Shencheng?"

The original ten-year-old has overturned the car, what's wrong with it?
Ian stopped thinking about meaningless things and said directly: "Where are you, I'll come to you now."

"I'm going to Yike Company. Let's meet at Hang Lung 23." Philip said solemnly.

Ian hesitated for two seconds before agreeing, "Okay, see you in 10 minutes."

Philip put down his mobile phone, and took advantage of the gap between the two big guys talking and laughing, and said, "I'm going to meet Ian at the company."

Fang Zhuo smiled.

Paulson nodded.

Philip took a cup of hot soybean milk from the breakfast tray that was just delivered, and said goodbye politely, planning to take Ian for a walk.

"Mr. Fang, China's economic development is really fast. Every time I come here, I feel this way." Paulson said from the bottom of his heart.

For this trip, did he fly to Shanghai from Tokyo, or did he want to talk about the cooperation with each other face to face.

"Asia will be a new business growth point for Goldman Sachs, so we can come here often." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

Paulson nodded, and said seriously: "Indeed, I will become a director of the Boao Forum this year, and I will come here more frequently in the future. I also plan to write a book called "Dealing with China". Afterwards, please ask Mr. Fang to help me see if the writing is correct."

Fang Zhuo knew that Paulson was a veritable Huaxia expert. He visited China 92 times from 04 to 68, and he also came to China many times when he took office.

In fact, this time when he flew from Tokyo to Shanghai, Paulson also greeted the administration.

Fang Zhuo also received an administrative inquiry call, and was asked whether he would attend public events together, which was naturally declined.

After all, Paulson is the former head of finance who has just stepped down. It may be a bit too much to say that he alarmed the authorities, but he does have a different emphasis.

"Okay, no problem. I will also write a book in the future, and the title of the book is "The Twice Breakfast I Treated Paulson to." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

He had invited Paulson to have breakfast once in the capital, and this was the second time he had breakfast together.

Paulson laughed loudly, and stretched out his hand to signal, "Please."

Fang Zhuo also smiled: "Please."

Dine, eat.

Let's eat, let's eat.

……

Compared with the 48 hours, which is regarded as the prime time for negotiations, when the night falls in Shanghai again, representatives of large, medium and small organizations including Ian can feel the cold from the early morning fog of Nasdaq.

It's Monday US time!
Mr. Fang really lost contact!

From the announcement of the SEC's investigation of Yike to 6 o'clock on Monday morning in New York, good news came frequently in the media.

——ITC may speed up the final ruling on Yike, which is expected to end in the middle of the month!
——Relevant sources revealed that the SEC's investigation into Yike will be very severe!

——Yike's US market has been hit hard again, and the well-known telecom operator T-Mobile is considering suspending cooperation in advance!

——Heavy, the SEC is reviewing Yike’s violations, and the Nasdaq YIKE stock will be suspended soon!

——YIKE’s fraudulent behavior will cause ordinary investors to lose their money!
The media title and content are very heavy!

These spreads to the country are just the topics of conversation after dinner at night, and they have also aroused great concern. Is it true that Yike has violated regulations or even violated the law by playing such a big game this time?Once it is suspended, it is not known what happened.

At 08:30 p.m. in China, and 07:30 a.m. on Monday morning in the United States, you have seen the most severe accusations from well-known media.

The latest issue of "The Wall Street Journal" directly used Fang Zhuo as the cover, with only one word: scammer!

"If Yike shares are allowed to open on the Nasdaq exchange, this will undoubtedly be a regulatory disaster, which will also hit ordinary investors hard, and may even slow down the recovery of the financial market, and this will also be born in full view An unprecedented fraudster!"

"We cannot allow this to happen, and we cannot allow the interests of ordinary investors to be harvested unscrupulously. We must act!"

"The SEC has to act too!"

"Say no to scammers!"

"Fang Zhuo, no!"

The very influential "Wall Street Journal" was outraged and directly labeled Fang Zhuo as a fraudster.

When this report was seen in the country, mainstream portals did not reprint it, but the relevant discussions on Weibo and Zhihu became very worrying. I thought that Yike's counterattack from the Jedi would not look like it would be easy to get money now.

In particular, even Mr. Fang has been accused and accused like this. Is it true that Yike's stock cannot be opened?

Just looking at the harsh public opinion in the United States and all kinds of exaggerated investigative arguments, Yike has reached the most precarious moment!
It's just that the crazier the public opinion, the more depressed the bears will be.

As the time draws closer, as Mr. Fang is still unable to contact, some of the short executives stationed at Hang Lung 23 have become obviously agitated. Although they were calm on the surface after being subdued by the security forces in time, they were restless every second. .

The more they looked at the public opinion in the United States, the more sad they became, and they even worried that this situation would in turn anger President Fang even more.

There is still an hour before the opening of the Nasdaq, and many people are still fantasizing about the last glimmer of hope, but Ian from the Carlyle Group looks at Philip Goldman Sachs more and more wrongly.

"Philip, come on, I have something to discuss with you." Ian said this while winking at Henry from Bridgewater.

At this time, don't blame yourself for doing it.

Ian and Philip went to the small office, and Henry followed slowly behind.

After a brief scream, resistance, and grunt, Ian took the stolen cell phone and found a new number from the call log that could reach Mr. Fang!
It still works this way!If I had known, I would have fucked him yesterday!
"Hi, I'm Ian, I want to talk to you." Ian said in a deep voice after dialing the phone, "The Carlyle Group wants to have a sincere talk with you."

"Huh?" Fang Zhuo was a little surprised to hear the voice of the director of Carlyle, and replied after a few seconds, "Why don't we talk about it after the market opens."

Beep, beep, the phone turns into a blind tone, and if you call again, it will be turned off.

The door of the conference room behind him was opened, and Philip leaned on the wall, bleeding from his forehead again.

He was very helpless, and also a little familiar with the road, meeting Ian's eyes, and asked: "Call me a doctor."

Ian frowned, waved his hand, and motioned for Henry to call for someone.

Goldman Sachs Philip in front of him was bleeding half his face, and there was already a wailing of unbearable pressure in the lounge not far away, and the farther side of the ocean may soon usher in a carnival.

Ian sighed deeply: "You Goldman Sachs are really hopeless."

Philip wiped the blood with his hand, and sighed: "Who is not difficult these days?"

……

Before Yike stock opened, the last call Fang Zhuo received came from the United States.

He heard Lu Peining's passionate voice.

"Mr. Fang, there will be no problems today, and there will be no movement in the SEC's informal investigation. Many of us think this is just a lot of trouble for hedge funds and some institutions."

Fang Zhuo praised the work on the other side: "From the beginning to the end, I have always believed that the SEC will deal with it fairly, and I also believe that Yike has a better prospect."

The SEC is very fair. No matter what the process is, Yike will still open normally, which is enough.

Lu Peining exchanged a few more pleasantries, and suddenly there was a subtle change in his voice, and he took the initiative to mention another matter: "Mr. Fang, the ITC will issue a final ruling this month. Is Yike ready?"

Fang Zhuo heard such a sentence at such a time, and said calmly: "Of course, we have already cleared the old models and advanced the press conference time, but considering the impact brought by the ruling, the next step is also It will further realize the potential of the Chinese market and give positive market feedback."

"We are observing the impact changes that may be brought about by various sales channels, and we are also paying close attention to competitors Samsung and their competing products."

What Fang Zhuo talked about was Yike's down-to-earth response.

However, this is not what Lu Peining wants to hear. He said suggestively: "What do you think the ITC's final ruling will be? Does Yike have a financial response?"

Fang Zhuo asked blankly and pleasantly: "Financial aspect? Is it possible that the ITC has hope to withdraw the ruling? That would be great! Is there any news coming out?"

The ITC has had cases where the final ruling was different from the preliminary ruling, and the ratio is relatively small.

Lu Peining had to be more straightforward: "Regarding the ITC, I have read their internal discussions in detail in the past two days. Yike's infringement on Nokia is too clear, and it is impossible to withdraw the ruling."

Fang Zhuo hesitated, "Then..."

Lu Peining continued: "Mr. Fang, I think you are well prepared for the short position this time. If, I mean, if the ITC's final ruling is overturned, what can Yike gain?"

Fang Zhuo said in astonishment: "Being, being overthrown... How, how is it possible?"

Mr. Lu, are you talking about the extremely rare ITC final ruling being overturned in history?
Before the money is in hand, you have started to think about the resources you can use without a teacher?

It is simply a smoke of interests!

Fang Zhuo seemed to be stupefied and didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Peining waited patiently for a while, and then said: "President Fang, what do you think?"

"This... If this is the case, it is of course the best result for Yi Ke." Fang Zhuo slowed down and said carefully, "But now I have become a fraudster, if it really happens again at the financial level... "

Lu Peining said with a smile: "It's just a little bit of public opinion. Mr. Fang doesn't need to worry about it. What I mean is that an innovative company like Yike should not be buried."

Fang Zhuo pondered for a long time again, and then said: "If this is the case, it must be kept strictly confidential. Once rumors of being overthrown are exposed in advance, the stock price will immediately rise."

From the customer's point of view, this profit is very simple.

After Yike’s short squeeze, the stock price will fall as long as it is delivered, buy at a low price, and sell at a high price after the overthrow, the simplest inside information operation.

As for whether the hedge fund will make a comeback during this process, it is not within the scope of the client's consideration. If it is really blown up, it will be done easily.

"Of course it will be kept secret, and it is just a hypothesis now." Lu Peining put away his urgent mood. He has carefully weighed the situation, and the most satisfying thing is MIGA Fund's confidentiality of client information.

This kind of information confidentiality is a key point. Of course, there will be related public opinion trends after today. The patent issue must be taken seriously, and Yike must pay the price of infringement.

Lu Peining liked Mr. Fang's professionalism very much. Before ending the call, he congratulated again: "Mr. Fang, today I am in Washington to see how Yike's stock rebounded and made money. When will you come to the United States, we can talk face to face."

"I'm flying to the United States next week. Hey, Paulson from Goldman Sachs asked me what I was doing with so much money. I thought about it today, and yes, I've already made enough money, and more is just numbers." Fang Zhuo sighed Said, "If I make enough 30 billion this time, I will stop."

Lu Peining said seriously: "Mr. Fang, you are still young, 30 billion is not enough, you will be gone if you buy a football team, 300 billion, it is enough anyway."

He exchanged a few pleasantries and ended the call.

Fang Zhuo put down his phone.

This is the subjective initiative of Lu Peining and others!
coerce!I was trapped!
There is no way, I have become a scammer, so let's continue to scam to the end.

Fang Zhuo threw the phone on the table, walked a few steps, opened the curtains, and the night of Shencheng came into view.

On the computer screen behind him, the stock trend of Yike, which had been rested for two days, suddenly jumped up.

Shanghai time 10:30 pm, New York time 09:30 am.

The second hands of the two places passed the last second, and the SEC did not make any movement.

The Nasdaq exchange officially opens.

The stock code-named YIKE has attracted everyone's attention to whether there is any sudden news. However, any imaginable measures have not appeared, which is...

Crazy!
Shares of Yike, which closed at $89.67 on Friday night, soared 38% to $123.74 before the market opened on Monday.

Only 10 minutes after the market opened, YIKE jumped into a gap and opened high, the stock price rose in a straight line at a nearly 90-degree angle, and the quotation went all the way up!
Run!Short stampede!Run faster than anyone else!

On the Nasdaq exchange, Yike shares skyrocketed!
All the well-known media, financial media, technology media, and various media, after two days of brewing and a storm of public opinion, almost all paid more or less attention to the results of Yike stock, and witnessed a jaw-dropping squeeze in real time. Spectacular view!

rise!rise!rise!
rise!rise!rise!
130! 140! 150!

In Shencheng Hang Lung 23, in order to serve customers more intimately and take care of their emotions, a larger-screen TV was replaced in the lounge, which made it easier for short sellers to see the stock price trend intuitively.

As Yike's stock price rose all the way, someone finally broke down.

"Up, up, hahaha!"

"Hee hee hee, oh oh oh."

"I'm going broke, hey, I'm going broke, hey hey, I'm broke!"

"Where's Mr. Fang? Mr. Fang, I want to see Mr. Fang!"

"I'm so stupid, really, I only know that there are rich people who are not vicious, but I don't know that such a young person can be so vicious."

"Hey, I'm going broke! I'm going broke! I'm going broke!"

The living room was lively and bleak.

The executives of the four major institutions, Carlyle Ian, Bridgewater Henry, Desser Grant, and Inman Ackerman, gritted their teeth and looked livid.

Even Philip, the vice president of Goldman Sachs, witnessed the scene in front of him and saw Yike's crazy rebound, and his color changed suddenly, and his heart was broken!
