Chapter 84: Fully Automatic AFK Monster Farming Mode!
"Oh my god... I'm not used to it."
Su Hao's traders, looking at the screen filled with a dense array of diversified investment projects, felt their worldview being challenged like never before.
Since working for the amazing director Su Hao, this was the first time he had ever seen him distribute money so... evenly, like sprinkling pepper.
You should know that their brilliant and capable Director Su, even when he engaged in "diversified investment," would only ever have three or four baskets at most.
Unlike now, a huge sum of seven billion yuan has been broken down into dozens of parts and invested in dozens of different products.
Even CEO Su is diversifying his investments!
Is the sun rising in the west?
"But then again, strictly speaking, this isn't exactly diversification, is it? After all, the ultimate goal is still Zhongda."
A colleague next to me muttered a complaint.
"That's true. But the funds that President Su has chosen this time are all incredibly ruthless."
Those guys probably didn't have much capital on hand either. As soon as they got our money, they immediately borrowed stocks through various channels.
Then they started yelling and frantically shorting!
"That's right, they're all 'fighting funds' from Vulture Funds, and the most ruthless and reckless of them all!"
This isn't an investment; it's practically hiring a bunch of professional assassins to carry out an assassination!
Just like people, funds have their own personalities.
Some are as lukewarm as water, seeking a steady, long-term return;
Some are like mad dogs on steroids, ready to fight you to the death at the slightest provocation, with an extremely radical style.
Either achieve legendary status in one battle and make a fortune;
Either you suffer a complete defeat and lose everything, down to your last pair of underwear.
There is no intermediate option.
This time, Su Hao specifically chose the latter type of desperate criminal who was willing to "die for it or die trying."
This also means that once the money is invested, he can no longer directly control the subsequent operations.
We can only leave it to fate and wait for the outcome.
"Why is Zhongda's stock price still soaring like it's on steroids, even with all this short selling?"
Some people look at the candlestick chart with sweaty palms, feeling like their heart is about to jump out of their throats.
"I guess the retail investors in Germany have also gotten wind of this and know that there are 'foreign reactionary forces' shorting their favorite stocks."
An experienced veteran analyzed,
"That's exactly what they're doing, they're really going against us! This rebellious mentality will actually push the stock price even higher."
The details of which institution has established a short position in which stock are typically kept secret and not disclosed to the public.
After all, if this thing were to leak out, it would be no different from shouting "Fire at me!" on the battlefield—pure suicide.
However, the market's short selling volume and open interest ratio are available for verification.
Although we don't know exactly which bastard stabbed us in the back, a sudden surge in short positions in a certain stock, combined with recent trading volume, makes it easy for anyone with a discerning eye to guess the reason.
Retail investors aren't stupid either.
Right now, stock forums and chat groups in Germany are probably in an uproar, with all sorts of rumors flying around:
Have you heard?
There are some short sellers who dare to mess with our rising and unstoppable China!
Brothers! Kill them!
As a result, the crowd was excited, and retail investors generously contributed their money, pushing the stock price up even further.
Sometimes, these guys do things not entirely for the money.
I just think... crushing the short sellers is fun! Exciting!
The stock market has always been a place where emotions outweigh reason.
So, the guys in Su Hao's department watched as Zhongda's stock price grew stronger day by day, with buy orders pouring in continuously, and they were all so scared that their hands were trembling.
If things continue like this, those seven billion yuan will probably just evaporate into thin air without a sound!
I spent several days in this state of constant anxiety and agonizing anticipation.
Until one day—
"Holy crap! Did everyone see the news?! This is breaking news!" A startled exclamation broke the deathly silence of the office in the early morning.
"I saw it! It just popped up! A huge bombshell has dropped in California!"
In the office, all the top-level employees who clocked in promptly at six o'clock in the morning and were known as the "Kings of Paperwork" were gathered around their computer screens, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
Just now, a shocking scandal broke out in California, thousands of miles away, one that is enough to shake the global automotive industry and financial markets!
Zhongda has been exposed for using cheating software to falsify nitrogen oxide emission data in test modes and actual driving, with differences of up to tens of times, seriously exceeding the US environmental standards by 40 times!
This action constitutes a clear violation of the law, and the US government, in conjunction with relevant departments, will impose a complete ban on the sale of Zhongda vehicles in the US!
Zhongda, the pride of the German automotive industry and its industry leader, has actually committed such a shocking scandal!
Using software to cheat and falsify exhaust emission data!
Moreover, the extent of the forgery was a staggering fortyfold!
This is simply treating consumers and regulatory agencies around the world like fools!
"Holy crap! Emissions scandal?! And 40 times the normal amount?! Have these bastards eaten the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard?"
"The news said they'd been keeping it a secret for more than just a day or two!"
"You dare to do something like this? Aren't you afraid of being exposed and having your ancestral graves dug up?"
"Who would have thought that Zhongda, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would do such a despicable thing!"
etc!
Now is not the time to dwell on these things!
Now that such a shocking scandal has been exposed, what about Zhongda's stock price...?
Could things possibly get better?
Anyone with a brain knows this is an absolute avalanche-like crash!
"Hurry! Has the German stock market opened yet?"
We must have made a lot of money from the money we invested before, right?
"Get to your positions immediately! Be ready to operate at any time! Hurry! I'll go ask General Manager Su for instructions..."
Liang Haiyuan in the department was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, jumping up and down, just about to tell everyone to take action quickly.
Just then, the office door creaked open.
Su Hao strode in with steady steps, his eyes meeting Liang Haiyuan's, which were filled with anxiety and panic.
"Uh, President Su…" Liang Haiyuan was taken aback.
Su Hao, a mysterious smile playing on his lips, waved his hand dismissively:
"What's the panic, Liang Haiyuan? Right now, we don't need to do anything, right?"
"Huh?" Liang Haiyuan looked completely bewildered.
No need to do it? What does that mean?
Are we just going to watch the cooked duck fly away?
Liang Haiyuan watched Su Hao's nonchalant figure disappear into the depths of the office, repeatedly pondering his words.
Suddenly, he slapped his thigh, a look of sudden realization on his face!
"Holy crap! Yeah!"
We fucking...
