Special troubles of rebirth

Before Guo Yuan and the others came back, Bai Jieru rushed over with Xi Yuwei and a bodyguard.

Bai Jieru ignored the rush and sat directly on the sofa to ask for details.

"You just flew over from Kuala Lumpur, go take a shower first!"

Wang Yu called out to Bai Jieru: "Guo Yuan went to pack dinner. She should be back soon. You make some hot water. Let's talk in detail after dinner!"

Bai Jieru was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, walked over and hugged Wang Yu.

Song Qiuyun came over and led the way: "Bai Xing, the master bedroom is on the right side of the second floor. I will take you there."

Wang Yu turned to Luo Qianqian: "You and Assistant Xi also go to the second bedroom to wash up, and I'll call you guys down for dinner later!"

After that, he went to the second floor. The April temperature in Yangcheng had already risen to over 20 degrees. Wang Yu came from the capital and was still wearing a slightly thick coat. He just happened to go up to take a shower and change into cooler clothes.

When Wang Yu took Bai Jieru's waist and went downstairs, everyone had been waiting for a while. Luo Qianqian glanced at Bai Jieru, whose blush had not faded, and secretly curled her lips: My president hasn't eaten dinner yet, so he I got drunk.

The food Guo Yuan packed from a big hotel tasted first-class, and everyone was really hungry. In less than forty minutes, all the food on the table was ready.

Then Wang Yu went to the teahouse with Bai Jieru, Luo Qianqian, and Guo Yuan. Guo Yuan made tea while the three of them talked about business.

Because Bai Jieru is a finance major, Luo Qianqian briefly introduced the situation, and Bai Jieru understood the twists and turns.

"There is no need to speculate too much. When the time comes, Lenovo will just need to announce some unfavorable news in a timely manner and cooperate with some technical means."

Bai Jieru said to Wang Yu directly: "Without external intervention, the stock price decline is a foregone conclusion!"

"So what do we have to deal with it?"

Wang Yu looked at Bai Jieru and said, "You are professionals. From your perspective, how should this matter be handled?"

"It's up to you to decide how to deal with this matter in the end. We can only provide a few feasible ways of doing it."

Bai Jieru looked at Wang Yu and said: "But no matter which method you use, as long as you want to hold up the stock price, something will inevitably be exposed. Even if we can control it well through technical means, the other party also has a professional team, and the final process cannot cover up the traces. As long as we take action, we will definitely be able to hide the fact that someone is deliberately manipulating Lenovo’s share price to rise!”

Wang Yu tapped his fingers on Chahai's table while listening to Bai Jieru's explanation.

Just like what he said when he disclosed this matter to Wei Yutong earlier, at least at this stage, he didn't want to directly enter a life-or-death situation with Lao Liu, so he was in a dilemma.

Without intervention, Lenovo's stock price would be driven down, and Lao Liu could easily win the shares under negotiation;

To intervene, you must reveal your intention. Just like Wang Yu thought for no reason in the morning that Jiang Qian might be an oiran from Donglai Villa, a seasoned shopping mall fox like Lao Liu will only have a more sensitive sense of smell and will probably think of him. Come.

At that time, they will be able to directly enter the situation of hand-to-hand combat without any cover, but at this stage, Wang Yu is still close.

The only sound in the tea room was that of Guo Yuan washing the teapot. Wang Yu lowered his head in thought, and Bai Jieru and Luo Qianqian could only remain quiet.

Just as Wang Yu was thinking hard, a piece of information flew through his mind like lightning.

At the beginning of his rebirth in 03, Wang Yu was afraid that some of his memories would be blurred as time went by, so he used special symbols to write down some special events that happened at special times.

When I was looking through my memory just now, it just popped up.

The reason why I remember this incident so clearly is that it happened not far from the time when Wang Yu was reborn. At the time, Wang Yu himself also watched it with gusto as a melon-eater.

It should be January 2021. A well-known short-selling institution in the United States stated that the stock price of GameStop (GME) will quickly fall back to US$1 per share. This statement aroused the anger of many American "leeks" who questioned this view, so they began to post "hero posts" on the Internet, calling on many investors to buy GameStop, and retail investors formed a group to fight and the short-selling battle officially began.

I originally thought that it was just the "bastards" complaining, and the institutional bosses on Wall Street didn't take this matter to heart at all, but no one expected that it actually triggered the participation of many leeks.

Then a scene happened that shocked the attention of people around the world.

GameStop, the main battleground between the two sides, surged by nearly 93%, with a total market value of US$103.2 billion, and a turnover rate of over 200%.

Do you think this is over?

No, the fun has just begun!

In the following 9 trading days, GameStop’s cumulative increase reached 641.75%!

Under this situation, an even bigger surprise emerged.

After the U.S. stock market closed, Musk, the head of Tesla, also tweeted to further stimulate the enthusiasm of retail investors for short selling: Retail investors bloodbathed Wall Street, a rare occurrence in a century!

The foreshadowing ahead makes Iron Man Musk quite excited. After all, Tesla has been a "guest" of major short-selling institutions all year round.

The ensuing process entered the most exciting stage. After the U.S. stock market opened, GameStop's stock price plummeted 24%, and then rose rapidly. During this period, circuit breakers were triggered multiple times, reaching a maximum of $483 per share, an increase of 40%, and then plunged rapidly again. It once fell by more than 67% during the session, and the long-short game was quite intense.

Can you believe that due to the behavior of the majority of retail investors, the stock has experienced 17 circuit breakers. At one time, trading was suspended every 3 minutes, and then resumed for 1 minute and then suspended for 3 minutes.

The share price of GameStop was less than 4 US dollars at the low point in April last year, and now the share price has soared. Behind this is the power of retail investors!

However, this confrontation did not end with the warrior defeating the dragon.

The American trading platform actually restricted the trading of stocks such as GameStop. You can only sell but not buy!

At that time, I especially remember that the domestic A-share buddies were shocked: If you can’t beat them, then flip the table? Can’t afford it?

In the end, it evolved into a nonsensical ending: the WallStreetBets server, a forum where retail investors gathered in the United States, was once blocked by the social platform Discord and was forced to turn into a private service. You must be invited to access the community on the grounds of "hateful content."

Although the success fell short in the end, there is one saying that the people in the United States were so angry and enthusiastic that they forced the short sellers to have no moral ethics and could only unplug the network cable, delete the code, and shut down the server. This can be regarded as a heroic sacrifice.

So now, is this possible?

The disadvantage is that current information technology is not as developed as in later generations, and it is a bit difficult to form an institution of the scale of this retail stock war in the United States.

The advantage is that the opponent we face this time is only the limited capital controlled by Lao Liu, not the financial capital giants like Wall Street. The pressure and resistance we face in operation will be much smaller.

It’s hard to say between the moment you leave and the moment you enter!

After finishing his thoughts, Wang Yu raised his head and looked at Bai Jieru and Luo Qianqian.

"I just thought of a way, but I don't know that the props are not operable. You two are professionals, please help me with the details!"

As soon as Wang Yu's words came out, Bai Jieru and Luo Qianqian immediately looked at each other.
