Chapter 86 A Triumph!
The moment the " Dieselgate " incident broke out, Huang Fengwen of Fang Huan Investment felt a huge weight lift from his heart, and he kept muttering:
"Damn it, they're finally here!"
He knew it; Su Hao wasn't out of his mind to risk his life and fortune on short selling!
Instead, they held a trump card, certain that something earth-shattering was about to happen!
Thinking about this made Huang Fengwen feel incredibly happy, even more so than drinking iced mung bean soup on a sweltering summer day.
At the same time, an idea popped into my head.
He turned to look at Executive Director Liu beside him and chuckled:
"Hey Lao Liu, did you sell that beat-up Zhongda of yours?"
"Hehe, Chairman Huang, after listening to your words, I made a decisive move and struck at the very peak!"
Executive Director Liu grinned smugly, his back teeth showing in the grin.
"Right now, car prices have plummeted, they're practically worth scrap metal! I'm laughing all the way to the bank!"
Chairman Huang sighed and pursed his lips:
"If only we had this kind of awareness when we trade stocks, we could sell at the highest point, how wonderful that would be."
Huang Fengwen gathered all the company's senior executives today, certainly not just to joke around.
He cleared his throat, his expression turning serious:
"Everyone, I'm sure you all know what the situation is like now, right?"
Those idiots at Zhongda brought this upon themselves, creating a huge mess! Their stock price has already plummeted by 30%!
What's more troublesome is that financial regulators in Germany have taken notice of this and are monitoring it closely.
The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority is a well-known, uncompromising body in Europe, known for its strict and even nitpicky approach.
The news of " Dieselgate " sent Zhongda's stock price plummeting, sending the entire German stock market into chaos and widespread despair.
The key point is that in this chaotic and devastating situation, there is always a small group of people who not only did not lose money, but actually made a fortune!
It's like dancing on someone's grave!
who?
Who else could it be!
Of course, it's those mysterious forces that have laid out plans to short the market in advance!
" What's the public opinion like in Germany right now?" Huang Fengwen asked.
A well-informed senior executive immediately chimed in:
" Chairman Huang, according to information gathered by our people..."
Even before the ' Dieselgate ' incident, there were vague rumors in the market that a mysterious fund was aggressively shorting Zhongda.
Although they don't yet know which institution it is or what position it has taken.
However, looking at the overall short position data and the huge pending orders on certain contracts, anyone with a discerning eye could sense something unusual.
Another Senior Executive added:
"So, many people in Germany are now shouting:"
It's said that someone must have received inside information in advance to accurately place heavy bets and maliciously short sell before the collapse.
The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BFS) is also investigating in this direction.
This is what Huang Fengwen is truly worried about!
The stock market is a place where "one man's success is built on the bones of countless others."
The vast majority of people lose everything, while a small minority make a fortune.
Once a situation arises where "a few revel while the majority go bankrupt," it easily ignites "the anger of the masses."
What often follows is a grand spectacle of "hunting witches" and "finding scapegoats."
Financial regulators, after all, have to consider the overwhelming public opinion. Even without solid evidence, they have to pretend to investigate and give the public an explanation.
If they happen to run into someone who's eager to achieve political success, they might try to find an unlucky scapegoat and fabricate a crime against them!
The biggest problem right now is that the "mastermind" these Germans are looking for, the culprit they believe "ambushed and stole the nation's wealth," is none other than Fang Huan Investment!
"What are the chances that Fang Huan Investment will be implicated by this mudslinging?"
Huang Fengwen asked in a deep voice, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.
The senior executive in charge of risk control smiled confidently:
" Chairman Huang, rest assured, the probability of anything going wrong is infinitely close to zero!"
That's right. Even though Fang Huan Investment spent a whopping 7 billion to short sell and made a fortune, it managed to extricate itself completely, leaving no trace of its involvement!
" That kid Su Hao... no, Director Su, he's simply a prodigy!"
The senior executive spoke of Su Hao with such amazement and admiration that he was practically bowing down in reverence.
"His plan was so meticulous and ingenious that it sent chills down one's spine!"
He fragmented our funds, cleverly diluting them across dozens of funds worldwide through a dazzling array of channels, making it impossible for anyone to detect any involvement of Fang Huan Investment!
Another vice president, well-versed in overseas operations, nodded in agreement:
"That's right! According to the German Financial Supervisory Authority:"
This is at most a group of funds known for their aggressive, high-risk investments, engaging in 'gambling'-like operations in their daily work...
They just got incredibly lucky, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, and happened to run into Zhongda, this 'landmine'!
No one could have imagined that an invisible hand was manipulating things behind the scenes!
Su Hao's tactic of "deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea, secretly crossing the Chencang pass" was executed with unparalleled skill!
Instead of directly targeting the German market, he poured all his money into those already well-known "high-risk, high-return" vulture funds.
These funds are known for their risky practices, and this time they "coincidentally" also heavily shorted Zhongda.
Even if an investigation is conducted, it will only lead to these funds.
In this way, the source of funds is completely muddied, and no one can trace it back to him!
"This kid is terrifyingly cunning; every step he takes is meticulously planned!"
Executive Director Liu had to admit defeat, clicking his tongue in amazement:
"This is clearly an attempt to treat the German stock market as their own backyard, to fleece people however they want!"
To be honest, in the past, it was always our domestic consumers who were exploited and fleeced by foreign capital.
Now the tables have turned, and it's our turn to harvest the foreign leeks (a metaphor for exploitation). This feeling...
Hey, that's exciting, and it's kind of smug, isn't it?
Executive Director Liu's words really resonated with everyone.
Over the years, A-shares have seen a lot of international speculative capital coming in to "withdraw money".
In 2015, they manipulated the stock index futures market, reaping 200 billion yuan in just three days;
The 2018 vaccine scandal wiped out Hengrui Medicine's 30 billion yuan fortune.
In 2020, a premium was used to target SMIC, resulting in the evaporation of hundreds of billions of yuan in financing.
In 2021, carbon neutrality boosted the photovoltaic industry, but a sudden sell-off caused Sungrow Power's stock to plummet by half.
In 2024, iFlytek's AI hype wiped out 12 billion yuan in a single day;
They manipulate the market at will, driving up and crashing prices, wiping out countless small investors, then packing their bags, absconding with the money, and leaving behind a mess.
But what about now?
The Germans were dumbfounded!
They never dreamed that they would be "robbed" so thoroughly by a group of "black-haired, yellow-skinned" Eastern boys using their most proficient financial methods that they were completely bewildered and disoriented!
