Game within game: chess player

"...This morning, all the listed companies under the group, including Huaqi Entertainment, Monopoly, and Kowloon Real Estate, were attacked by unknown funds. The share prices and market values ​​of the seven companies were all cut in half. Preliminary losses are estimated to be at least [-] billion.. .At present, we have not found out who the short-selling institution is..."

A man who looked like an assistant introduced the situation of individual stocks. Everyone sat in their seats and listened unusually quietly. Xiang Huatian, who was sitting at the head of the conference table, had a gloomy look on his face. Xiang Huatian, who was in his 40s and in his prime, looked straight up and showed no anger. Everyone felt the unknown oppression in the conference room.

After the assistant introduced the stock market situation in the morning, the entire conference room fell into silence, and the air seemed to condense into water.

"Who can tell me what happened?" Xiang Huatian knocked heavily on the conference table with his fingertips. The conference table made a crisp sound, like knocking on everyone's heart.

The people present looked at each other in silence, because everyone present really didn't know what happened, and who dared to attack Xin Nghe An after eating the King of Leopards.

At this time, Link Xia eased the tense atmosphere in the conference room, coughed slightly, and said, "This incident must be premeditated and foreshadowed, and it will definitely not be untargeted. Now I ask you to carefully recall whether anyone under your command has offended anyone recently. The person who deserves to be offended, and 14, and He Sheng, are there any big issues here?"

"It seems not..."

"That's right... We haven't had any trouble with other gangs recently..."

"Even if there is, it's just a small friction. The Jianghu is the Jianghu, and it will definitely not be played like this..."

"The person who can use such a large amount of funds must be a wealthy businessman, and it will definitely not be an unknown person..."

"Yes, it definitely couldn't have been done by any group. They don't have the strength."

Link Xia's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and finally landed on the face of Li Tailong, who was the last to arrive. Seeing that there seemed to be some hesitation on his face, he asked directly, "Aaron, how are you doing there? There's been a lot of traffic lately. Nothing unusual happened?"

"Abnormal situation? I don't know if this counts." Li Tailong was hesitating at this time whether to tell the story about blackmailing Ye Fang, because he felt that Ye Fang would not have such great energy at such a young age, but he was worried about his beard. Yong took the opportunity to intervene, so he kept having an ideological struggle in his heart. When Link Xia asked, he replied, "I have something, but I think he should have nothing to do with it."

"What exactly is going on? Tell me." Link Man asked gently.

"No, Brother Xia. He must have nothing to do with this matter." Li Tailong decided not to say anything. At this time, one more thing is worse than one less thing, not to mention that it also involves 14K's top executive Hu Yong. If it is not handled properly, he will be a gangster again. A bloody storm.

"Just say what you are told!" Xiang Huatian couldn't help but shouted loudly because of his fiery temper.

"Yes, boss." Li Tailong agreed quickly, and then told the whole story of the grudge between Ye Fang and Ye Fang in the past two days.

"Old Lin, what do you think about this?" Xiang Huatian turned to Link Xia next to him.

Link Xia pondered for a moment and did not directly answer Xiang Huatian's question. But then he raised his head and asked others if anything special had happened. Everyone shook their heads and said no. Lin Kexia asked Li Tailong in detail about some details, and finally answered Xiang Huatian's question, saying, "Now it seems that this is the only possibility. Of course, there may be other enemies hiding in the dark that we have not discovered. I suggest this The matter is divided into two steps. First, it is normal for the stocks of our group to rise and fall. As long as we can still control these companies, the so-called loss of market value is just a number on the book. If the stock falls too much, it will naturally rebound. It will definitely go back up, so don’t worry too much about this.”

"Second, 14 has to go over there to touch Ye Fang's bottom. Regarding this matter, Ah Yao, you go with Aaron to see Ye Fang's attitude. Also buy some gifts for Uncle Yong. , Go in the name of apology. Neither my eldest brother nor I are suitable to come forward in this matter at the moment, so you two will have a hard time. "

"Yes, Brother Xia." Chen Xingyao and Li Tailong replied.

"Find out the short-selling organization behind it as soon as possible." Link Xia said solemnly.

"I want to see if the person behind him has three heads and six arms and dares to disturb Tai Sui." Xiang Huatian said coldly.

After the meeting, Chen Xingyao and Li Tailong walked out of the Xiang family's old house together.

"Brother Yao, when are we going to Uncle Yong's place?" Li Tailong asked.

Chen Xingyao, the Tiger of Wan Chai, is one of the Five Tigers of San Ngee Ann. His status in the society is still above the top ten, and all of them are ruthless murderers. Hearing Li Tailong ask himself, Chen Xingyao took out his sunglasses and slowly put them on, and said impatiently, "I have something to do in the afternoon, so go ahead tomorrow morning. I'll call you then."

After saying this, Chen Xingyao greeted his subordinates and left the Xiang family's old house without waiting for Li Tailong's agreement.

Li Tailong looked at Chen Xingyao's leaving figure helplessly. Although Li Tailong was very powerful among the younger brothers below, he was still a little timid in front of these five tiger generals. After all, these people are all famous ruthless characters in the world. .

After the stock market closed in the morning, Lu Jiaming reported the battle situation to Ye Fang over the phone. Although Lu Jiaming stayed up all night and fought fiercely all morning, he was still in high spirits because this morning Zhongrui Capital's net profit exceeded [-] million. At this time, Lu Jiaming was in an extremely excited state. He made a profit of [-] million by killing the Xiang Group in one battle. He was looking for the right time.

Using capital advantages to lock in all the short-selling chips in the hands of securities companies basically eliminates the possibility of someone interfering in the process. Then they launched a surprise attack to prevent the Xiang Group from raising its stock price. Zhongrui Capital did not encounter any form of resistance in this attack. In fact, the Xiang Group would not have thought that anyone would dare to pull out the tiger's beard. , which allowed Ye Fang to hit the target with one hit and make huge profits.

If there were not too few Xiang Group shares in the hands of brokers on the market, the profit would be even greater.

After hearing Lu Jiaming's report, Ye Fang just said perfunctorily, "I know." He was not overly happy about the [-] million profit, which surprised Lu Jiaming.

"In the afternoon, let the trading team continue to buy Huaqi Entertainment and Hong Kong and Kowloon Logistics at a low price. Just let the other tickets go." Ye Fang paused and said, "You go to rest right now."

"Mr. Ye, I'm not sleepy. I'm very energetic now. I still have the strength to fight again." Lu Jiaming replied.

"Lu Jiaming, Rome was not built in a day. You have a good rest, there are more important things to do later, otherwise I will consider leaving it to others." Ye Fang said solemnly.

"No, Mr. Ye, I'm going to rest now." Lu Jiaming said quickly.

"Go." Ye Fang put down the phone.

Ye Fang hung up the phone and sat back on the study chair in silence. Ye Fan has never gone out since he entered the study. Lan Xin brought the meals into the study. Hu Xiyong seemed to have forgotten Ye Fan's existence and did not come to disturb him.

After lunch, Hu Yong was accustomed to sitting in the yard to bask in the sun, closing his eyes slightly and listening to ancient music on the radio. At this time, the footsteps of bodyguard A Quan disturbed Hu Yong's enjoyment.

Ah Quan leaned over and whispered a few words into Huzi Yong's ear. After listening, Huzi Yong suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Such a thing could happen?"

"How much did Xiang Jia lose?"

"There are no specific figures, but it is roughly estimated that it will not be less than 20 billion, and the stock price is almost completely cut off."

"What Xiang Jia lost in this incident was not money, but face."

"Do you think it was the guy upstairs who did this?"

Beard Yong raised his head slightly and glanced into the void, as if he wanted to see Ye Fang upstairs, and then said, "If it is really him, either he is an irrational lunatic, or he is a devil with confidence. Xiang Jia will not die this time." You have to peel off some skin.”

"The Xiang family will definitely not be willing to suffer this loss. What I'm worried about is how we will deal with it when the time comes." Ah Quan said worriedly.

"We have no way to intervene in this matter, and we don't need to intervene. If he really did it, he must want all the escape routes." Hu Xiyong said firmly.

"I hope so."

"Go and prepare. I think someone will come to the Xiang family soon." Beard Yong said calmly.

"The Xiang family shouldn't be able to find out here, right?"

"Others may not, but don't forget that there is a butler beside Xiang Jia. He will soon come up with a countermeasure. If you don't believe it, just watch. If it's fast, tonight, if it's slow, tomorrow morning, Xiang Jia Someone will come."

"I know how to do it."

After speaking, Ah Quan turned around and walked out. Hu Yong returned to his lazy expression, as if nothing had happened.

When the market opened in the afternoon, Ye Fang sat at the computer and watched the fluctuations of Huaqi Entertainment, Hong Kong and Kowloon Logistics and other Xiang Group stocks, and found that the stock prices did not move. Although there are retail investors buying at low prices, there are few large purchases. It is obvious that Xiangshi Group has no intention of raising the stock price, so the stock price remains calm.

"You can really keep your composure." A smile appeared on Ye Fang's lips.

Ye Fang knew that he should be the only one to benefit from this sharp decline, while other retail investors in the market could only stop their losses or cover their positions because they did not get the corresponding stocks from brokers. As for the listed companies under the Xiangshi Group, there is no risk of liquidation due to pledge liquidation because there is no stock pledge. For Xiang, the loss in market value is nothing more than the numbers on the books, as well as the market's reputation and face.

What Ye Fang was originally most worried about was that Xiang would inject capital to boost the stock price. Now it seems that Xiang has no such intention at all. This means that Xiang would rather lose face and keep his money. Another thing is that he is concerned about his ability to control the company. Believe it enough.

Ye Fang knew that it would take a long time to collect enough chips from the market in a short period of time. If he wanted to get control of Huaqi Entertainment and Hong Kong and Kowloon Logistics as quickly as possible, he could only acquire them at high prices from large institutions. Thinking of this, Ye Fang picked up the phone and dialed.

The next morning, Chen Xingyao and Li Tailong showed up at the Mid-Levels Villa as scheduled with more than a dozen of their men. Naturally, they would not go in directly with a group of younger men. In the end, Chen Xingyao and Li Tailong walked toward the door one after the other.

What surprised the two of them was that Hu Yong went out to climb the mountain. It was estimated that he would not be back until an hour later. The two looked at each other and thought that this was the perfect opportunity. So he directly told the gatekeeper that he would wait for Hu Yong to come back in the villa. Li Tailong and the other two walked into the villa and found that they did not see Ye Fang except the servant.

Li Tailong asked the servants passing by, and they all shook their heads as if they didn't understand.

"I'll go up and take a look." Li Tailong said and walked upstairs. At this time, Ye Fang, who had already received Su Long's report, walked out of the study. The two met head-on on the stairs.

"I remember there are still a few days, are you so anxious?" Ye Fang said, passing by Li Tailong and sitting on the sofa on the first floor. Su Long stood behind him naturally.

"I'm here to see Uncle Yong today." Li Tailong came to the sofa opposite Ye Fang and sat down.

Chen Xingyao, on the other hand, habitually stood aside and looked at Ye Fang up and down. Ye Fang, who looked a little thin, did not attract Chen Xingyao's attention. However, Su Long behind Ye Fang had a strong aura, and he should be a master.

"Oh, then just wait." Ye Fang said, picking up a newspaper and reading it.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a moment. Li Tailong and Chen Xingyao didn't know which direction to go to get to know Ye Fang, let alone how to ask whether yesterday's incident had anything to do with Ye Fang.

At this moment, Ye Fang's phone rang. Ye Fang answered the phone and kept nodding. Li Tailong, who was sitting opposite, listened carefully and seemed to vaguely hear the words Huaqi and logistics. This made Li Tailong's expression suddenly change. .

"Okay, I know, that's it." Ye Fang hung up the phone and stood up to leave.

"Slow down! Mr. Ye." Li Tailong immediately stopped Ye Fang.

"What, is something wrong?" Ye Fang said in surprise.

"I just heard Mr. Ye mention two stocks on the phone? I wonder if Mr. Ye also likes stock trading?" Li Tailong asked tentatively.

"Yes, what? Do you also like investing? If so, I can recommend a stock to you, called Huaqi Entertainment. The stock is good. It fell sharply yesterday. You can buy some today. You will definitely make a lot of money. This way If I make money, I can pay for the 5000 million, right?" Ye Fang looked at Li Tailong and asked with a smile.

When they heard Ye Fang take the initiative to mention Huaqi Entertainment, the expressions of Li Tailong and Chen Xingyao suddenly changed. Li Tailong asked, "I wonder how much Mr. Ye bought?"

"Not much, 12.00%. I will definitely make some in these two days. You can also buy some?" Ye Fang suggested matter-of-factly.

At this time, Li Tailong and Chen Xingyao couldn't tell whether Ye Fang was telling the truth or a lie, or whether he was coaxing them to have fun.

"Mr. Ye, don't you know who owns Huaqi Entertainment?" Li Tailong asked.

"I don't care who it belongs to, as long as I like it I will buy it! What, do you have any objections?" Ye Fang asked.
