Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 598: Stop Suppression

As time passed, several days had passed since Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen blocked the stocks of the four companies. On the third day, Liu Mingzhang called Lu Shaohua and said that the end was near. Lu Shaohua got excited and gave up his rest and came to a temporary studio set up by Liu Mingzhang and his team.

At this moment, the four 20-inch screens in the studio displayed stock market charts representing four companies. Even Lu Shaohua, an outsider who didn't know much about the stock market, knew that the stock prices of the four companies were constantly falling, which could be seen from the trend of falling from high to low.

"Almost done?" Lu Shaohua asked with a smile while sitting on the sofa.

"It's almost done. The suppression has now reached the predetermined point. If we continue to suppress it, there may be accidents. It's better to stop." Liu Mingzhang also looked at Lu Shaohua with a smile and said lightly.

These days, Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen have been extremely busy, which can be seen from their eyes. Their eyes are full of bloodshot, which is still clearly visible even in the dark night with the lights on. It can be seen that they have been very hard-working by staying up late these days. From the smiles on their faces, Lu Shaohua saw another message, that is, they are very happy.

Yes, they won a victory, how could they not be happy? You know, Lu Shaohua created a great opportunity for them, allowing them to save the step of raising the stock price to attract shares, and they can directly suppress the stock price. The funds originally required have shrunk a lot.

From a certain perspective, this phenomenon is about exchanging small for big, using a small amount of funds to achieve the greatest results, so that the side can only mobilize 32 billion US dollars to carry out the operation, which saves Lu Shaohua the headache of mobilizing funds.

"Since it's almost done, let's close the net." Lu Shaohua said simply. It seemed like an order, but in fact, Lu Shaohua was reminding them, because Lu Shaohua knew very well that when he told Liu Mingzhang that he wanted to meet in person, Liu Mingzhang and the others had already given up all actions.

Liu Mingzhang did not say anything, but just nodded to show that he understood. Then he and Li Zongen looked at each other and nodded slightly, reaching a consensus. Then they both took out their phones and started dialing.

"Stop suppressing and wait for further instructions."

Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen each made nearly a dozen phone calls, and the content of each call was the same, "stop suppressing and wait for further instructions," and then they hung up the phone very directly.

After spending several minutes on the phone and giving instructions to all the teams, Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen both sat on the sofa, glanced at Lu Shaohua who was sitting quietly, and then shifted their gaze to the four-person monitor in front of them.

At the moment, Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen have only issued two orders, one is to stop suppressing the stock price, and the second is to wait for instructions. The only thing those teams need to do is to stop suppressing the stock price, and then wait. They don’t need to do anything else.

It’s strange to think about it, why did nothing else happen after they just told the people below to stop suppressing the stock price?

In fact, this was a strategy that Liu Mingzhang and the other two had already discussed. You have to know that those four companies are well-known companies in the United States and even internationally. I don’t know how many people are paying attention to their stocks. If they stop suppressing the stock price, and the stock price does not fall or falls at a slower rate, someone might get involved to push up the stock price.

To raise the stock price, that's right, they want people to raise the stock price. You should know that in this operation, the teams led by Liu Mingzhang were able to acquire a large share of shares, and Lu Shaohua meant to retain only 5%, 5% of each company, and all the rest would be sold off.

Since you have to sell off the extra stocks and you have invested a lot, and you have lost a lot of money by suppressing the stock price in the middle, how can you not pull the stock price back and then sell it slowly, make a little profit from the price difference, and treat it as a business while making back your investment?

This was the real intention of Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen in issuing the waiting order, hoping that external forces would get involved and raise the stock price, while they would sit back and reap the benefits, winning the biggest victory without any effort.

The stock market works like this. If you want to raise the stock price, you can't raise it too much at once. If you do it yourself and raise it little by little, you may not make any money in the end and may even lose money. This is the situation that Liu Mingzhang and others least want to see.

Of course, if there were no outside forces involved, Liu Mingzhang and his team would have to choose to operate on their own, trying to raise the stock price a little higher, so as not to lose so much of the original investment. Think about it, if they didn't keep 5%, Liu Mingzhang and his team could completely ignore the loss, but now it's not possible, they want 5%, and this 5% is a fund of US$ million.

The fact was just as Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues had expected. There were many other forces eyeing the stocks of the four companies. When Liu Mingzhang and his colleagues stopped suppressing them, the stock prices of the four companies remained at the same price, motionless, neither rising nor falling, as if there was no trading.

This situation looked very strange, there was no movement, the stock market seemed to be calm, there were no sell orders, no buy orders, it was very abnormal. However, Liu Mingzhang and others knew that many people were watching and waiting for the opportunity.

Most of the stocks circulating in the stock market were absorbed by Liu Mingzhang and his team, and those shares that were not absorbed were basically in the hands of Microsoft's shareholders. It was impossible for them to sell them, which meant that there were no sell orders, because Liu Mingzhang and his team did not issue any sell orders.

As for those who have not placed buy orders, many people are waiting and watching, and do not want to get involved at this time, so as not to be fooled by others. People who work in finance need to have a calm and lonely heart. Liu Mingzhang and his team have it, and other traders also have it.

Half an hour passed, and there was still no significant fluctuation in the market, just like the Dead Sea, without even a wave. Whether it was Lu Shaohua, Liu Mingzhang, or Li Zongen, all three of them were staring at four monitors, and no one spoke.

"The market will close in ten minutes. Should we stir up the market ourselves?" Li Zongen asked, looking at the time.

Li Zongen was not asking Lu Shaohua, but Liu Mingzhang. His meaning was very clear. That is, his own people would place buy orders to raise the stock price, and then sell them out from another account to create an illusion of trading volume in the market.

"..." Liu Mingzhang did not speak, but stared at the four monitors quietly. After a long time, he glanced at Lu Shaohua, as if asking for his opinion.

Seeing this, Lu Shaohua knew that he couldn't keep silent at this time, so he shook his head and said, "There are still ten minutes before the market closes, so let's wait for them to close."

Lu Shaohua's intention was very clear, which was to not take any action and wait until the market closed.

Lu Shaohua was the boss, and his words were orders. Neither Liu Mingzhang nor Li Zongen dared to disobey. They nodded to show their agreement, and then fell silent again.

In fact, Liu Mingzhang also wanted to follow Li Zongen's advice and interfere. His purpose was to give people a message before the market closed, letting people know that the stock price would start to rise. He also wanted to take advantage of the fact that those external forces had made sufficient preparations after the market closed, so he could start taking action in the afternoon.

However, Lu Shaohua disagreed with them doing so. As for the reason, Lu Shaohua did not say much, but one thing was certain, that is, Lu Shaohua had his plans.

Ten minutes passed quickly. During these ten minutes, there was still no movement in the stock market, as calm as before. At the closing time, the price remained at the original level.

After the stock market closed, Lu Shaohua's voice was heard. "There are many external forces waiting. They can afford to wait, but some people can't. Seeing that the stock price has a chance to rise, how can they bear not to come out to rescue the market?"

This is an opportunity. The four companies cannot give up the chance to pull up the stock price. This is Lu Shaohua's plan. He wants the four companies to invest money to save the market. Liu Mingzhang and others will then take advantage of the situation to push up the stock price. Then outside forces will get involved. In that way, all three parties will push up the stock price, and Lu Shaohua and his team will be the final winners.

Who are Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen? Having been in the financial market for so many years, how could they not understand what Lu Shaohua meant? They slapped their foreheads and said in their hearts, "We were careless."

However, Liu Mingzhang couldn't help but ask one more question. "Those four companies came out to rescue the market at the beginning, but not long after, they stopped their actions, as if there was a problem with the funds."

"No, there is no way they have a problem with their funds. You know, they are four famous American companies. Even if their stocks are falling, they have no problem borrowing money because of their reputation." At this point, Lu Shaohua paused and continued his analysis. "The reason they stopped rescuing the market is because they know that no matter how they rescue the market, no matter how much money they invest, it will be useless. They simply let the stock price fall, and when it falls to a certain point, they will pull it back. Although they are suffering losses, as long as they can pull the stock price back in the end, they can save the company."

"There is one more thing you must not forget. These four companies are in the United States. What kind of country is the United States? It is a capitalist country. To put it bluntly, money is the boss. The four companies will bring a lot of tax revenue to the United States every year. That is a huge sum of money. The U.S. government will never watch them fall. Therefore, if the stock price keeps falling and falls to the point where it can't fall any further, the U.S. government will definitely take action. The people in power of the four companies are very clear about this, which is also the reason why they dare to let it go." Lu Shaohua told all his analysis in one breath.

After Lu Shaohua's lengthy analysis, Liu Mingzhang and Li Zongen both nodded, and they understood the reason. At the same time, they also understood why Lu Shaohua could build up the giant Phoenix Group in just a few years, while they could only be a small soldier under the Phoenix Group.
