Lu Yang sat cross-legged, continuing to comprehend the "Black Dragon Art." The next morning, Lu Yang opened his eyes, having returned to his peak state. He smiled slightly. After a night of contemplation, Lu Yang had gained a deeper understanding of the "Black Dragon Art."
Soon, Lu Yang drove his car to Haitong Group. If nothing unexpected happened today, Xiao Wuji would launch an even fiercer attack on Haitong Group, potentially going all out.
Lu Yang had already prepared countermeasures. As long as Xiao Wuji dared to make a move, he would ensure that all of Xiao Wuji's money would be lost without return.
In the chairman's office of Haitong Group, Lu Yang was eating the soup dumplings he had just bought from the shop at the entrance. In the past, to ensure Tang Shimin could have a warm bowl of soup dumplings, Lu Yang would always set out early on his electric bike, buy them, and then rush back as quickly as possible. Now, however, times had changed.
"She probably doesn't like soup dumplings anymore!"
Lu Yang muttered to himself.
"Chairman, we just received news that the morning paper in Jiangbei City has published defamatory reports about our Haitong Group!"
Lin Guoxiong said, handing the Jiangbei City morning paper to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang took it and saw a headline that was very attention-grabbing: "Haitong Group Faces Internal and External Troubles, Teetering on Bankruptcy; Mysterious Chairman Revealed to Be a Useless Son-in-Law!"
"Haha, this headline is quite exaggerated!"
Seeing this, Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It seems Xiao Wuji is prepared to slam Haitong Group's stock onto the floor today. Otherwise, he wouldn't have prepared something like this for retail investors to see!"
Lin Guoxiong's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently.
"Alright, I'm ready. I'm also very curious to see how much of a storm Xiao Wuji can stir up. As far as I know, Xiao Wuji only has two hundred billion, which is far less than my one hundred billion US dollars!"
"Old Lin, do this: first, find people to track down those who slandered us, make them apologize, and issue letters of apology. Then, post an announcement on Haitong Group's stock homepage stating that Haitong Group is increasing its capital by one hundred billion US dollars!"
"However, these things should be prepared by morning. In the afternoon, I will show everyone that Haitong Group cannot be defeated!"
Lu Yang said confidently to Lin Guoxiong, having made all preparations and waiting for Xiao Wuji to fall into the trap. As soon as Xiao Wuji jumped in, they could reel him in.
"Understood!"
A sly smile appeared on Lin Guoxiong's face. He knew that Lu Yang had successfully tricked Xiao Wuji into the trap. Today's task was to wait for Xiao Wuji to enter the cage.
As expected, when the stock market opened in the morning, Haitong Group's stock was subjected to intense pressure, opening five points lower and then continuously being pulled down.
"They're trying to push Haitong Group's stock to the floor!"
Lu Yang said indifferently as he saw the bears continuously suppressing Haitong Group's stock. However, he did not make any moves to cover his positions, because any action now would alert the enemy. Lu Yang's plan was to wait for Xiao Wuji to bring out a large amount of capital and completely push Haitong Group's stock to the floor before taking action in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, in a presidential suite of a high-end hotel, Xiao Wuji's eyes were filled with excitement.
"Young Master Xiao, within five minutes of the market opening, we have already suppressed Haitong Group's stock by seven points. It's only three more points to the floor. Should we go short directly now and push Haitong Group's stock to the floor?"
A trader asked Xiao Wuji.
"Let's wait. We gave Haitong Group overnight to raise some funds. Let them bring those funds in, and then we'll push Haitong Group's stock to the floor!"
Xiao Wuji said with a cold smile.
Indeed, as soon as Xiao Wuji finished speaking, a mysterious fund suddenly surged and aggressively pulled up Haitong Group's stock, with an amount of nearly one billion.
However, a billion dollars in funds was only enough to appease retail investors later. Compared to the massive funds in Xiao Wuji's hands, it was nothing. Moreover, Xiao Wuji had already thrown out twenty billion to push Haitong Group's stock down by five points at the opening, and with the retail investors selling, Haitong Group's stock had been pushed down by seven points.
This billion dollars in funds only stopped Haitong Group's stock from falling further, causing it to rise slightly by half a point, and then it continued to fluctuate. Seeing funds coming in, many retail investors who wanted to buy at the bottom also followed suit.
"Young Master Xiao, funds are coming in, estimated to be over a billion!"
As a trader saw the market changes, he immediately reported to Xiao Wuji.
"Over a billion? Hahaha, this is truly hilarious. Did Haitong Group only manage to scrape together a billion dollars in a day? It seems Haitong Group is really finished!"
Hearing the trader's words, Xiao Wuji laughed unscrupulously.
"Young Master Xiao, do you want to make a move now and directly push Haitong Group's stock to the floor? The time is ripe now!"
Bai Hao stood beside Xiao Wuji, watching the market changes, his blood boiling with anticipation.
"Bai Hao, don't you still have over ten billion in funds? Directly throw it in and see if you can push Haitong Group's stock to the floor!"
Xiao Wuji said with a smile, looking at Bai Hao.
"Okay, since Young Master Xiao said so, I'll throw it in directly!"
Excitement flashed in Bai Hao's eyes. He immediately called home, and ten billion in cash was directly poured into Haitong Group's stock. Instantly, Haitong Group's stock began to plummet towards the floor.
After all, Haitong Group was already besieged on all sides. As long as there were funds to short it, Haitong Group would be unable to withstand the onslaught of large bearish candles, and it was directly pushed to the floor.
"Haha, it's hit the limit! It's hit the limit!"
Seeing that after his ten billion was injected, Haitong Group's stock had hit its daily limit, Bai Hao's face immediately revealed a fanatical smile.
"Bai Hao, you've done an excellent job. By shorting Haitong Group today, and with a few more limit downs, we can acquire Haitong Group's equity. Then Haitong Group will be ours!"
Xiao Wuji said with a sinister smile.
"Haha, Young Master Xiao is brilliant! I knew following you would never be wrong!"
Bai Hao immediately flattered Xiao Wuji.
...
"This... it actually hit the limit!"
At Black Dragon Capital, Shen Yiman looked at Haitong Group's stock on the computer which had plummeted to the floor, and her heart felt very heavy.
"I wonder if Lu Yang can withstand it!"
The one billion dollars that had just been injected was the capital she had withdrawn from Black Dragon Capital, wanting to do her small part to help Lu Yang. However, a billion dollars was truly a drop in the bucket. For a company like Black Dragon Capital with a scale of hundreds of billions, it disappeared without causing any reaction. Not only did it fail to boost the stock, but it also attracted the enemy's final frenzy, causing Haitong Group's stock to hit the limit earlier.
