Li Ming was furious. He pointed his finger directly at Gao Lili and yelled, "Gao Lili, I'll ask you one more time. Are you going to issue it or not? If not, you can go straight to the HR department, settle your salary, and get out!"
Seeing Li Ming's out-of-control state, Gao Lili was completely frightened. Li Ming had always been a gentleman, and in her impression, he had never lost his composure like this before.
"Director Li, please don't be angry. I'll issue it right away," Gao Lili quickly responded. It wasn't easy for her to reach the position of Company Secretary. She couldn't afford to lose her job over such a trivial matter. What percentage of the company's shares did she own? It was less than a drop in the ocean.
The major shareholder didn't seem to care about the company's stock price. Why was she worrying about it? She was simply overthinking things.
Fuzhou Machinery's official website quickly published two news items: "Shocking Losses, Product Quality Unacceptable, Fuzhou Machinery to Compensate Shengjing Electric Power 100 Million Yuan" and "Fuzhou Machinery to Resume Trading Soon."
As soon as this news broke, it caused a huge uproar.
Countless shareholders were in shock. "Damn it, this year is unlucky. I wondered why two consecutive limit-downs happened without any warning. It turns out the main players knew the news in advance and were trying to trap us."
"I'm always tricked by chasing highs year after year. Damn it, the quality inspectors at Fuzhou Machinery are to blame. How could they not have noticed such serious quality issues? The most crucial point is that Fuzhou Machinery is the stock I've heavily invested in."
"Don't cry, upstairs. I'm also heavily invested. I've used their products, and the quality was not bad. It shouldn't have led to such a big mistake, right? Is there some other reason?"
"You're overthinking it. Think about the two previous limit-downs. The main players must have known the news in advance. This is to trap us retail investors."
"I used all my savings, and I even mortgaged my house to buy this. And now this happens. I want to kill someone."
"It was so hard for me to get some foreign exchange, was it easy? I'm standing on the rooftop. It's so cold here, but my heart is even colder. I have no way out!"
"If you're going to make such a mistake, then just suspend trading. Why resume? Are you afraid I won't die fast enough?"
The internet was filled with cries of despair. The Company Secretary of Fuzhou Machinery was truly bold, leaking all sorts of information. Once this news broke, the stock price would likely be halved.
In Belarus, Tuofusiji and Tuofunawa exchanged glances, a sense of lingering fear washing over them. If the shares were still in their hands, they would be doomed.
"Brother, looking at the current situation, that stock is finished. I'm afraid Zhang Tianxing will be bogged down in this mud trap," Tuofunawa said with a heavy heart. Zhang Tianxing was her good friend. Why did this have to happen? It was too heartbreaking.
"If I see Chen Sancang again, I will tear him to pieces! This kid actually dared to set a trap and cheat me!"
"Sister, don't worry about Zhang Tianxing. At worst, he can start all over again. We will vigorously promote his canned goods. As long as we are here, we will definitely not treat Zhang Tianxing unfairly," Tuofusiji assured Tuofunawa.
Hearing Tuofusiji's assurance, Tuofunawa smiled. It was precisely because of their involvement that Zhang Tianxing had fallen into such a predicament. They owed Zhang Tianxing a great debt of gratitude.
Tuofunawa immediately contacted Zhang Tianxing: "Zhang Tianxing, we've caused you trouble. It's all our fault."
Tuofunawa choked back tears on the phone, her heart filled with self-reproach.
"Alright, crying until your face is a mess won't be pretty. The matter isn't over yet, and you can still help me," Zhang Tianxing said with a smile. He hadn't had any good ideas himself, but when Tuofunawa called, a plan suddenly struck him.
So Zhang Tianxing instructed Tuofunawa on what to do: "Remember, this needs to be done quietly, without anyone knowing!" Zhang Tianxing repeatedly cautioned.
"No problem. Leave it to me, and I'll handle it perfectly!" Tuofunawa nodded firmly, indicating she understood the importance of the matter. Fortunately, Zhang Tianxing's selfless help during this period had allowed her and her brother to recover.
Without Zhang Tianxing's assistance, they would have had no choice but to file for bankruptcy protection.
...
When Zhang Tianxing, Guo Jiajia, and Yan Ruyu saw this news, Zhang Tianxing smiled.
"Zhang Tianxing, are you alright? Don't scare me," Yan Ruyu asked with concern. She was terrified that something might happen to Zhang Tianxing. She knew how much pressure he had been under recently.
"I'm fine. I just find it a bit funny. These companies nowadays have no bottom line at all. They'll say anything for their own purposes." Zhang Tianxing was furious when he saw the news. It turned out that what others said was true: bottom lines were meant to be broken.
Facing such a shameless and bottomless opponent, the situation looked grim.
Guo Jiajia's brows furrowed. "Boss Zhang, should we try to inquire if anyone is willing to buy our shares?"
"By the way, Fuzhou Machinery should have close ties with the Chen family in Shengjing. With the Chen family's help, Fuzhou Machinery successfully opened up its overseas sales channels. Fuzhou Machinery's sales figures in recent years have been very good and have great potential. It was a prime choice for value investing, and no one expected such a loophole to appear," Guo Jiajia added her understanding of Fuzhou Machinery.
Hearing Guo Jiajia's words, Zhang Tianxing exclaimed angrily, "Chen Zhilong!!"
Every wrong has its cause, and every debt has its debtor. I finally know who is behind this. The Chen family in Shengjing. The only one who has clashed with my assets is Chen Zhilong.
And that kid was beaten back by me. He brazenly wanted my shares with just words. There's no such logic in the world.
But I didn't expect this kid to be so shameless that he would use his family's influence to try and destroy me.
Now that I know who the opponent is, Zhang Tianxing's heart calmed down. The Chen family, huh? I will remember you well.
Zhang Tianxing realized that before he had even become powerful, he had already become a thorn in the side of certain families.
It seemed he was a complete failure. Protagonists of the past, when offending noble families, would also make friends with corresponding noble families, creating opportunities to leverage their power.
But he, on the other hand, had been fighting alone all along. Perhaps he should consider Wen Qing. It seemed the family of the grand beauty Wen had considerable influence.
Forget it. Relationships motivated by impure intentions would eventually sour. I will remain that pure and sunny young man.
Zhang Tianxing contacted Zhao Jun. "Senior, tomorrow we will head directly to Zhonghai Securities. We need to start taking action."
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's normal voice, Zhao Jun breathed a sigh of relief. He had been terribly anxious moments before.
He had seen the news online. Three of the four stocks were suspended, and the one that resumed trading had revealed a bombshell.
It seemed the other party wanted to kill Zhang Tianxing. Based on Zhao Jun's experience, this wave would not end without at least three limit-downs.
There was no doubt that it would be a continuous limit-down from the opening, with no opportunity to cut losses!
