Game within game: chess player

Ye Fang sensitively noticed Lu Jiaming's emotional reaction and asked, "What, do you have any questions?"

Although Lu Jiaming thought of something, he still shook his head firmly and said, "No."

"Okay, your performance has given me some expectations for the future of Zhongrui Capital." Ye Fang nodded and continued, "You don't need to worry about the backstage issues of listed companies. I will ensure your absolute safety. This matter The greater the risk, the greater the reward. The 50 billion funds I injected will be withdrawn after this matter is concluded, but what I can guarantee is that no matter how much money you make in your hands, the 50 billion funds will eventually settle in On the account of Zhongrui Capital, this is also the basis for the future development of Zhongrui Capital.”

"You mean you will stay no matter how much money you make?" Lu Jiaming asked.

Ye Fang nodded and said, "Yes! If you earn one yuan, keep one yuan, if you earn 1000 million, keep 1000 million, if you earn [-] million, keep [-] million. If you can acquire the listed companies above, then you will be a winner in the future. Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rui Capital Group.”

"Okay! It's a deal." Lu Jiaming's eyes showed the passion he hadn't seen for a long time, and then asked, "Which is our first target?"

"Huaqi Entertainment." Ye Fang said lightly.

Huaqi Entertainment was listed in 1994 with a total share capital of 2.9 million shares. Its current share price is HK$2.5 and its total market value is 7.25 million. The major shareholder is Xiangshi Group, which holds 28.5% of the shares. Institutions or individuals acting in concert with Xiangshi Group hold 23.8% of the shares, totaling 52.3% of the shares. The remaining 47.7% of the circulating shares are traded in the market. , held by small and medium investors or securities firms.

Judging from the share capital structure, although Xiang's Group does not hold more than 30% of the shares, it holds more than 50.00% of the shares of Huaqi Entertainment through persons acting in concert, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling Huaqi Entertainment.

"Boss, judging from the shareholding structure, there is little chance that we will acquire Huaqi Entertainment." Lu Jiaming said truthfully while holding the folder information.

"Any transaction in this world will have a price. If there are exceptions, it means that the price you paid is not high enough." Ye Fang said matter-of-factly.

"As far as I know, no one has thought about Huaqi Entertainment in recent years. The market value of Huaqi Entertainment is not high, not to mention that it has hundreds of film and television entertainment stars, and its potential value is huge. But in the end, all plans were shelved. The main reason is Fear of the Xiang Group behind it. This is not only the case with Huaqi Entertainment, but also with the listed companies under the Xiang Group. They control their listed companies at a lower shareholding cost, and even some listed company shares are transferred to the Xiang Group. He was robbed by a clever way." Lu Jiaming introduced.

"Others are afraid of Xin Ngee Ann, but I am not afraid. Just do it with confidence and boldly. This time you will definitely tear off a piece of flesh from Xin Ngee Ann. As for how much blood this piece of meat can carry, it depends on your ability. I can tell you clearly. "There are two listed companies under Xiangshi Group that I must get, one is Huaqi Entertainment and the other is Hong Kong and Kowloon Logistics. The rest will depend on the situation," Ye Fang said.

"I understand, boss." Although Lu Jiaming didn't know why Ye Fang wanted Hong Kong and Kowloon Logistics, he wisely did not ask why. After all, this was Ye Fang's decision, and he only had the power to execute it.

"Go ahead and follow the trading strategy. I will send you a security guard to take care of your safety. Also, your current company at Zhongrui Capital is a bit small. After this matter is over, you should have money to recruit troops. ." Ye Fang said in a deep voice.

"Yes, boss." After speaking, Lu Jiaming turned and left the study. As soon as he walked out of the villa, a six-person security guard came up to him, and then escorted Lu Jiaming out of the mountainside villa.

In the villa, Hu Hu Yong stood in front of the window and watched Lu Jiaming's leaving figure without saying anything. The bodyguard A Quan walked into the room and came to Hu Hu Yong and whispered, "This man's name is Lu Jiaming, and he is the president of a company called Zhongrui Capital." Manager, just today the major shareholder of Zhongrui Capital has just changed, but we haven’t found out who the shareholder is behind the scenes.”

"Do you still need to check? It must be Ye Fang." Beard Yong frowned and murmured, "What kind of medicine is this kid selling in his gourd?"

"Do you need me to ask?" Bodyguard A Quan said solemnly.

Beard Yong waved his hand and said, "No, some things are annoying if you know too much about them. Let's wait and see how they get better."

"I think Ye Fang will not take out the 5000 million obediently." Bodyguard Ah Quan affirmed.

Beard Yong sneered and said, "This time Li Tailong will probably be kicked on the iron plate. At this time, it is wisest to watch the tiger fight from a distance. Pass on my words and don't have any conflicts with Xin Ngee'an in the recent period."

"Yes, I'll pass it on right now." After answering, bodyguard Ah Quan quietly exited the room.

"I want to see how you deal with Li Tailong." A strange smile appeared on the corner of Hu Xiuyong's mouth.

Lu Jiaming returned to the Zhongrui Capital headquarters and immediately summoned all employees to work overtime all night. In order to prevent the news from leaking, he required all employees to have room and board in the company, and at the same time confiscated everyone's communication equipment.

That night, all securities firms in Hong Kong that held Huaqi Entertainment stocks received securities lending applications from Zhongrui Capital. In one night, Zhongrui Capital collected approximately 10% of the circulating shares of Huaqi Entertainment held by the brokers, with a market value of 7000 million. These Huaqi Entertainment stocks are concentrated in the hands of more than 20 securities firms, large and small, in Hong Kong. This obviously abnormal move immediately attracted the attention of interested people.

Short buying and selling are allowed in Hong Kong stocks. The prerequisite for short selling is that the securities firm must have a target stock that can be shorted. If Zhongrui Capital wanted to short Huaqi Entertainment, it had to borrow Huaqi Entertainment shares from all brokers. After paying more than 8000 million in deposits and handling fees, Zhongrui Capital immediately had 2900 million shares in its account. Huaqi Entertainment's stocks, these stocks can be sold as soon as the market opens tomorrow, thereby achieving the purpose of shorting Short Rui Capital.

Of course, if these are not enough, Ye Fang will also light a fire, that is, after the market opens tomorrow, he will buy a part of Huaqi Entertainment's stock at a low price and use it as a bullet to suppress the stock price. Once the trend is formed, Huaqi Entertainment's stock price will immediately fall avalanche. This is Since Hong Kong stock trading does not have a price increase or decrease and a T+0 trading system, this gives Ye Fang ample trading space. What’s more, Huaqi Entertainment’s market is not big, so Ye Fang can play with it however he wants.

The news that Huaqi Entertainment will be shorted at the opening of tomorrow has quietly spread among some securities firms. Many of the clients of these securities firms hold Huaqi Entertainment stocks. In order to attract customers and increase transaction fees, the brokers of the securities firms immediately Just tell these customers that Huaqi Entertainment may plummet tomorrow and ask these customers if they need to sell.

Feedback from some customers soon came back, and Huaqi Entertainment will be sold at the discretion of the stockbroker tomorrow. These customers are usually VIP customers of securities companies, and some retail investors have no way of knowing this information.

Before nine o'clock the next day, 50 billion funds entered into the ten trading accounts of Zhongrui Capital. Such large-scale capital inflows and outflows immediately attracted the attention of several securities firms where Zhongrui Capital was located. These brokerages felt that Zhongrui Capital must be in the stock market. If there is a big move, the first target should be Huaqi Entertainment.

Although the Hong Kong stock market experienced the Asian financial crisis in 98, it was lucky to escape the attack of Western capital, but the sequelae still exist. The entire stock market is like a pool of stagnant water. The tepid stock price trend makes market investors less enthusiastic about trading. Therefore, major The profits of securities companies continue to decline, and the daily trading volume is only tens of billions.

But today, an institution from Zhongrui Capital actually prepared 50 billion funds. This is obviously the rhythm of a special feature in the stock market. The brokers with accounts from Zhongrui Capital have tacitly blocked the news. Once it leaks out, other brokerages will definitely grab it. All securities firms, such as Zhongrui Capital, a super large client, have remained silent.

The stock market opened at ten o'clock in the morning.

Huaqi Entertainment opened slightly lower, and trading was the same as yesterday, with the stock price fixed at 3.3 yuan. However, at this time, a large number of securities firms and stockbrokers on the Stock Exchange were all closely watching the changes in Huaqi Entertainment's stock price, and would sell immediately if there was any change.

"Mr. Lu, the stock price of Huaqi Entertainment is normal, buying orders are sparse, and selling orders are normal." The trader said, staring at the market.

"Strike to guide the stock price downward." Lu Jiaming gave the order.

The meaning of Lu Jiaming's instruction is to buy Huaqi Entertainment and sell it at a price lower than the buying price, which is the so-called buy high and sell low. This can lead Huaqi Entertainment's stock price to fall rapidly. This is a common practice of shorting a stock. It seems to be a loss-making strategy. Since Lu Jiaming holds the Huaqi Entertainment shares of all brokerage firms, he is actually the biggest seller of Huaqi Entertainment. He can freely decide on Huaqi Entertainment. Where is the low point of Qi Entertainment’s share price?

This trick worked quickly. Then Lu Jiaming sold off the 2000 million shares of Huaqi Entertainment he held in batches. Together with the refueling package of 100 million shares, Huaqi Entertainment's stock price poured down like a waterfall. It is no exaggeration to describe it as flying down three thousand feet. In an instant, the stock price of Huaqi Entertainment broke through the 2.5 yuan mark and was approaching 2 yuan step by step.

At this time, the market believed that Huaqi Entertainment's irrational decline was not normal, so funds entered the market to prepare for a rebound. Soon Huaqi Entertainment's stock price was pushed up to around 2.5 again.

"Throw out all the Huaqi Entertainment in your hands." Lu Jiaming said solemnly.

As Lu Jiaming issued the order, selling orders for the remaining 900 million shares of Huaqi Entertainment flooded out again, instantly smashing Huaqi Entertainment's stock price below 2 yuan. In order to avoid further large losses, the funds that had previously been preparing to grab the rebound immediately closed their positions and sold them regardless of the cost, and then prepared to sell them through securities financing, preparing to short Huaqi Entertainment together.

But at this time, all the securities firms in the market still have Huaqi Entertainment shares in their hands. Everyone can only watch the stock price of Huaqi Entertainment falling all the way.

"Build a position!"

When Lu Jiaming's order was issued, Huaqi Entertainment's stock price had dropped to 1.5 yuan. In less than 10 minutes, Huaqi Entertainment's stock price had dropped 60.00%, and Lu Jiaming immediately began to buy Huaqi Entertainment one after another.

In order to prevent Huaqi Entertainment's stock price from getting out of control, Lu Jiaming continued to suppress the stock price of Huaqi Entertainment and soon bought more than 20.00% of the six Huaqi Entertainment shares.

Lu Jiaming then quickly returned the 2900 million shares of Huaqi Entertainment that he had borrowed from securities. At this time, Zhongrui Capital still had a total of 4600 million Huaqi Entertainment shares in its account.

Under Ye Fang's instruction, Lu Jiaming continued to buy Huaqi Entertainment stocks at a low price. The same operation of Huaqi Entertainment was also performed on six other listed companies under the Xiangshi Group, but only Huaqi Entertainment and Hong Kong and Kowloon Logistics were Ye Fang's targets.

The market values ​​of these two stocks are similar, except that Hong Kong and Kowloon Logistics have less circulation and the stock price is slightly higher.

As of 10:30 a.m., just half an hour after the market opened, the share prices of all listed companies under the Xiangshi Group had halved, with a market value loss of more than [-] billion.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, a rapid ringing of the phone pulled Li Tailong out of bed. Li Tailong pushed the girl in his arms away from his arm and answered the phone.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Do you still have time to sleep? Get up right now and see what happened to the Huaqi Entertainment stock?"

A chilling voice came from the other side of the phone. Li Tailong suddenly woke up with a start. As soon as he looked at the phone, the sweat on his forehead immediately dropped.

"Brother Xia, what happened?"

"Get up quickly and come to Brother Xiang's house for a meeting!"

"Yes, I'll be there right away."

Li Tailong put down the phone and reacted for a while, then rushed to the computer in a few steps, opened the stock price of Huaqi Entertainment, and almost fell off his feet when he looked at it.

Then he rolled around and put on his clothes, called his men and immediately sped towards his old house.

The person who called Li Tailong just now is named Lin Kexia. He is 45 years old and has a Chinese character face. A three-inch scar on his forehead makes him look fierce. But in fact, Lin Kexia is the number two figure at the core of the management of the Xin Ngee Ann Society. He can be called a civil servant and a military general. His status in the gang is second only to the big boss of the society, Xiang Huatian.

It can be said that Lin Kexia single-handedly helped Xiang’s family to establish the Xin Ngee Ann empire. For this reason, his two brothers died in the struggle for supremacy. Therefore, his own position within the Xin Ngee Ann Society is unshakable, and the daily management of the society is also the most important. Lin Kexia takes care of it, and Jianghu habitually calls him the "general manager" of Xin Ngee Ann.

The Xiang family's old house is located in a mansion in Kowloon Tong. It has an area of ​​​​[-] square meters. It looks ordinary on the outside, but in fact it is wonderful on the inside, with luxurious decoration. When Li Tailong rushed to Xiangzhai, the gate was already filled with alert bodyguards. The bodyguard secretly thought it was Li Tailong's car and quickly let him in. As soon as the car stopped at the door of the villa, Li Tailong rushed out in one stride.

Immediately, a younger brother came over and took Li Tailong to the conference room on the second floor. When he entered the conference room, Li Tailong found that the atmosphere in the entire conference room was extremely serious, and everyone looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Lin Kexia motioned Li Tailong to sit down quickly with a look. Li Tailong saw that in addition to seven of the Ten Elites, there were also two of the Five Tigers attending the meeting, namely the Wan Chai Tiger Chen Xingyao, the Tuen Mun Tiger Li Maiqiang, and General Manager Linkman.

Of course, there is also the general leader of Xin Ngee Ann, Xiang Huatian.
