397: Chapter 392: The Battle of Money!
“You …”
After hearing Huang San’s words, Bai Lan was so angry that she was at a loss for words.
“Who says Yun Corporation is beyond saving?”
Ye Tian sneered, and when the crowd saw that the security team captain Ye Tian had actually come over, they were all frightened and took two steps back.
This guy is very good at fighting, and if he gets angry with them, it is feared that everyone will suffer…
“It’s beyond saving indeed!
Ye Tian, even if you are close to the president, I must say, Yun Corporation really is beyond saving!”
Huang San stuck to his opinion, not backing down…
“Ye Tian, your actions now are nothing but blind loyalty.
Yun Corporation is already a lost cause, no matter how unwilling you are to admit it.
The company has no hope left — that’s the fact that no one can change!”
Huang San’s tone was somewhat harsh, and anger also showed on Ye Tian’s face.
The imposing aura of Ye Tian startled Huang San, who immediately said, “Even if you beat me to death, my stance remains the same!
Do you dare to hit me?”
“Hit you?
I wouldn’t dirty my hands!” Ye Tian let out a cold laugh, then continued, “As the head of the finance department, you don’t even understand why the company’s share price has shrunk so much in two days.
I really don’t have the mood to hit you!”
“What did you say!?”
Huang San was immediately furious.
Ye Tian could say that he wasn’t loyal enough, but he absolutely couldn’t say he was not competent in business.
As the head of the finance department, he had been conscientious and self-sacrificing.
Whether it was professional skills or business capability, he was top-notch!
“Of course that’s the case!
Didn’t you know that the stock price of the company was smashed down with money?”
“What?”
Ye Tian’s words astonished Huang San.
Could it be true that the rapid fall in the company’s stock was actually due to malicious manipulation?
“Of course!” Ye Tian nodded and added, “I looked over the trading records of Yun Corporation’s stocks for the day before yesterday and yesterday.
There are many bewildering transactions, notably the quantity of stocks bought or sold in one go — they were simply too large, certainly not the actions of small retail investors!
Therefore, I have reason to suspect that this was done intentionally by hostile forces: buying our shares at high prices, then selling them off cheap, thus lowering the company’s stock price!”
“Really, truly?
But what benefit do they get from that?”
Ye Tian’s explanation sounded plausible, compelling belief, yet it also contained many doubts.
Because someone buying Yun Corporation’s stocks at a high price and then selling them cheaply would incur massive financial losses, who would do such a thing out of boredom?
“The reality is just so.
Their purpose is to bring down Yun Corporation, so losing a few billion is not a problem at all.
Once Yun Corporation goes bankrupt, they can acquire it cheaply and then jack up the stock price!”
All the people looked at each other in silence, realizing what was going on…
But Huang San appeared unconvinced, coldly saying, “Ye Tian, even if what you say is true, Yun Corporation has already been brought to its knees, impossible to stand again.
Whatever you do is useless.
They have the money, and Yun Corporation is simply no match for their financial power, it’s finished.
I will watch it fall apart, and you, this clown, what can you actually do?”
Huang San’s scathing sarcasm hit Ye Tian, but he just smiled faintly and said, “They are but minor characters to me, hardly worth my attention.
Everyone just watch and see what Yun Corporation’s stock price will be at the close of the stock market today.”
Ye Tian spoke with absolute certainty, but no one believed him.
A mere head of the security team, even if he had connections to the president, supposedly wouldn’t have capabilities in finance.
How could Ye Tian alone change the tide?
Facing everyone’s doubts, Ye Tian just silently walked to the side, then picked up the phone and made a call.
“…yes, Yun Corporation’s stocks…
mhm, a large amount of capital is needed…
there are only a few minutes left before the market opens, it must be done quickly…”
Ye Tian’s words were sporadic, and no one knew who he was talking to.
After finishing the call, he returned to the crowd.
“Ladies and gentlemen, if you are free, let’s keep an eye on the big screen!”
On the large screen at the bottom floor of Yun Corporation’s office building, displayed were the current day’s stock prices for Yun Corporation.
The market hadn’t opened yet, but one could clearly see that Yun Corporation’s stock was four yuan per share, and the color was green…
After all, today’s stock market determined the fate of Yun Corporation, so everyone gathered in the lobby on the ground floor to watch the stock price on the large screen.
Even the people from Tian Yi Group and Casey Corporation had come to the lobby, holding the mindset of watching a joke.
This time, how much would Yun Corporation’s stock price fall?
At 9:30 in the morning, the Jiang City stock market finally opened!
Everyone watched intently at Yun Corporation’s stock price, which remained at four yuan per share without any change for the time being.
“Looks like it is going to drop a lot today!” someone said with schadenfreude, “Shall we make bets to see if Yun Corporation’s stock will drop to nothing?”
“That sounds interesting!
Let’s bet!”
Someone immediately agreed, leading to a one-sided trend in public opinion…
About half an hour later, Yun Corporation’s stock price dropped again, now just slightly over three yuan!
“It’s falling!
It’s falling!”
“Yes, yes, yes!
It really is falling!”
— everyone exclaimed in surprise!
Everything was within expectations, and no one believed that Yun Corporation could escape the crisis today.
“Haha!
It looks like Yun Corporation is finished today!”
“With this, our two companies will be able to cover the sky with one hand in Jiang City!”
The HR personnel from Fanfan Group and Lingying Group smugly stated, all waiting for the moment Yun Corporation would meet its demise.
“How about it, Ye Tian?
You can’t save Yun Corporation, can you?”
Huang San came to Ye Tian’s side and said with a sneer, clearly not believing that Ye Tian had the ability to save Yun Corporation.
However, Ye Tian did not speak and just silently watched the big screen, unaffected by the words of those around him.
When the stock price of Yun Corporation had fallen to nearly three yuan, and some time had passed…
Everyone held their breath, eager to see what Yun Corporation’s next share price would be.
Finally, the numbers on the big screen moved!
The stock price of Yun Corporation did not fall, but rose, rising to four yuan and eighty cents!
“It rose?
What’s happening?”
“Could there be an error with the numbers on the big screen?
Is it some sort of technical adjustment?”
All the people had bewildered expressions—how could a rebound occur when Yun Corporation’s stock price was plummeting?
Ye Tian, on the other hand, smiled slightly because he knew that the funds he had requested had arrived!
“What on earth is going on?
Casey, answer me!!”
Lin Tao was also paying close attention to the stock market at the time, believing that by the end of the day, he could smash Yun Corporation’s stock price with a slap, but he didn’t understand why Yun Corporation’s stock had suddenly risen.
Therefore, Lin Tao immediately questioned Casey and his team!
“Young Master Lin, there’s a problem.
It seems someone is intentionally driving up the stock price of Yun Corporation!”
“What did you say!?”
Lin Tao could hardly believe his own ears; someone was actually interfering while Lin Corporation was trying to bring down Yun Corporation—wasn’t this opposing Lin Corporation?
“Smash it with everything you’ve got!
Yun Corporation must be crushed!”
Lin Tao ordered sternly, and Casey immediately obeyed, starting operations with his team.
Although on the surface, this was a struggle over Yun Corporation’s stock price, in reality, it was a direct clash of money against money!
Casey and his team were buying Yun Corporation’s stock at high prices only to sell at low prices, leading to significant financial loss for their team;
The funds driving up Yun Corporation’s stock price did the same, buying up the low-priced stocks at high prices, and when Casey and his team sold again, they also had to buy back at high prices, which was very costly indeed!
The clash of two sets of funds had absolutely no technical content; it was like two people charging at each other with packs of explosives!
It was a matter of who had deeper pockets, not strategic moves…
In other words, the side with more money would gain the ultimate victory!
As for the small shareholders, they would panic and sell when Yun Corporation’s stock plummeted and rush to buy when it skyrocketed…
But now, all the small shareholders could only watch desperately because all this was no longer within the small shareholders’ control!
Although there was no real sabre-rattling, everyone could smell the gunpowder emanating from Yun Corporation’s stock price…
“No, that’s not possible, right?”
The head-on collision between the two funds lasted until the afternoon, yet Yun Corporation’s stock price kept rising higher and higher.
Ten yuan, twelve yuan, fourteen yuan…
The stock price of Yun Corporation was almost back to where it started!
Lin Tao looked at the computer screen and was instantly dumbfounded!
“Casey, what exactly is going on?
Why does Yun Corporation’s stock price keep rising?” Lin Tao placed a call to Casey, demanding an explanation.
“Young Master Lin, the opponent’s funds are simply too strong, far more than ours.
We have no more money left to confront them head-on!”
Casey and his team had completely given in; the extent of the opponent’s financial strength was far beyond their imagination.
This time, they suffered an utterly embarrassing defeat.
Investing billions, to no purpose, and in the end, they could only return without accomplishing anything…
