CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 155 Shark Platform GG!

For two days in a row, there was no follow-up action from the Shark platform.

Lu Yiming was somewhat bewildered.

However, compared to this...

Huang Xin's disappearance made him even more concerned.

Logically, he should have contacted Cao Siyun immediately after their call ended at noon the day before yesterday.

The current situation is that not only have they not called, but they haven't received a call either.

Huang Xin's phone number has been switched off for the past two days.

Fortunately, his wife's phone number was in the background check information.

Lu Yiming couldn't make the call himself, so he arranged for Cao Siyun to make the call. He received her reply in less than ten minutes.

"Boss! Huang Xin has gone to cooperate with the investigation!"

Cooperate with the investigation?

Lu Yiming was puzzled upon hearing this.

Then something came to mind.

He immediately asked, "Did they say what kind of investigation they were investigating?"

"No, it was around 1 p.m. the day before yesterday when he called home and said he needed to cooperate with the investigation into his disappearance for a few days. He told his family not to worry, but he didn't tell his wife what the investigation was about."

Around 1 p.m. the day before yesterday?

Isn't this exactly the time when I spoke to him?
They were able to proactively inform their family that they were accepting an investigation.

They are undoubtedly government officials.

Hearing this, Lu Yiming nodded and said, "Okay! I understand!"

The phone hangs up.

Lu Yiming began to connect the thoughts in his mind.

When all thoughts converge in one direction.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but smile and said, "Looks like I detonated this bomb ahead of time!"

That's the advantage of being reborn.

They can foresee certain things.

At this moment, he dialed Cao Siyun's number again.

After the call connected, he said, "We need to act ahead of schedule! Let's get the traders in place!"

Lu Yiming has been reborn for almost a year.

I only achieved two small goals.

This is only the liquid funds he can use.

That's the terrifying thing about having a system.

In the A-share market, you can only buy when the price is rising, not when it's falling, but the Shark platform is listed overseas.

Buying on dips is a legal and protected strategy.

Lu Yiming's so-called "taking action".

It means shorting the stock of Shark Platform.

hang up the phone.

Lu Yiming then opened the US stock market.

Shark Platform went public last month.

Just the night before last, when Lu Yiming launched the group buy.

Shark Platform's market capitalization remains stable at $3.7 billion.

But it can be seen at this time.

Shark platform's stock has been falling by about 5% each day due to online news in the past two days.

By yesterday's closing, its market value had fallen to just over 3.3 billion.

More than two billion yuan evaporated in just two days!
According to the T+3 settlement system of US stocks.

It's not too late for Lu Yiming to get on the bus now.

Thirty million US dollars.

Five times leverage.

Even short selling incurs a 20% commission.

The profits are also very substantial.

At this moment, Lu Yiming was counting on his fingers how much money he could make from each circuit breaker.

Then, barely suppressing a sigh, he exclaimed, "Damn! Stocks are still the fastest way to make money!"

Thirty million US dollars, with a leverage of five times, becomes one hundred and fifty million US dollars.

In simple terms, short selling involves buying $150 million worth of stock from a brokerage firm and selling it, then agreeing to settle the transaction at a later date. For example, if the current stock price is $10 and the price drops to $9 after the agreed-upon time, the difference is your profit.

$150 million would be enough if the stock price dropped by 10%.

This means that Lu Yiming could earn 15 million dollars.

Including the leverage fee of 3%, there is also a short selling fee of 20%.

If Lu Yiming had started the operation two days earlier...

By today, they should have earned around ten million dollars.

Say something.

Lu Yiming was quite disappointed about this.

He originally wanted to apply for 15x leverage, but then thought the risk was too great and didn't do it.

It can only be said that he is not a qualified gambler.

But that's enough.

Just want to make a little money~
Anyway, there's still a lot of room for it to fall!

at this time.

Cao Siyun began to carry out the operations that Lu Yiming had previously arranged.

The funds were prepared long ago.

The operation should have started the night before last, as the trading hours for US stocks are in the evening compared to China. However, because both the third step and Huang Xin's unconventional move failed, Lu Yiming, seeking stability, instructed Cao Siyun to hold back for the time being.

Lu Yiming's plan was also very simple.

The goal of a $30 million, leveraged investment is to trigger a circuit breaker in one go.

The total profit, including principal and interest, was over 41 million.

Then use this money to carry out a second operation.

The second profit, including principal and interest, was over 57 million.

The third time. More than 80 million.

The fourth time. More than 110 million!
Lu Yiming is not greedy.

Half was recovered on the fourth attempt.

Then continue with the remaining steps.

They stopped trading when Shark Platform's stock price fell below $500 million.

However, this is only in an ideal situation.

Many factors influence the stock market, but in general, it's unlikely you'll lose money.

Even if they lose money, it won't affect Lu Yiming.

He only used working capital.

He still owns stocks worth hundreds of millions.

at the same time.

The CEO disappeared for two days.

Some turmoil has finally begun to stir within the Shark platform.

Some things can't be hidden.

Several managers gathered around the vice president's desk.

One of them stepped forward and said, "Vice President! Where did President Han go? You should give us an answer! The internet is in an uproar! The stock market is extremely unstable!"

These people are all direct relatives of Han Yutao.

The Shark platform has just been launched.

The board of directors is just a figurehead.

All power was in Han Yutao's hands.

It can be said that Han Yutao is the backbone of all the core members of the Shark platform.

His disappearance.

This made it impossible for everyone to focus their energy on their work.

Looking at the excited crowd.

The vice president gestured for his assistant to close the door.

After the door was closed.

The vice president, his face grave, said in a deep voice, "President Han has probably been arrested! But we don't know why yet! Keep this information confidential for now! To prevent the stock market from deteriorating further!"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone present was stunned.

At this moment, the vice president noticed that one person in the crowd had become visibly flustered.

He immediately said, "Alright! It shouldn't be a big deal! You guys go back to your work! Gao Chun, you stay here for a moment! I have something to ask you!"

Gao Chun is Zhong Zijian's right-hand man.

The expression on his face practically screams, "I know this!"

Everyone was relieved to hear the vice president say that it wasn't a big deal.

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

But they overlooked one problem.

That means the vice president was saying he might have been arrested.

This means that he doesn't seem to be very sure either.

These individuals are all core members of the company.

They own some shares in the company, whether more or less.

They would never do anything that would betray their own interests, which is why this vice president chose to confide in them behind closed doors.

At this point, everyone dispersed, each with their own thoughts.

Only Gao Chun and the vice president remained in the room.

The assistant closed the door.

The vice president immediately frowned and said, "Gao Chun! You should know something, shouldn't you?"

Han Yutao has been missing for the past two days.

This vice president also tried every possible method.

But the news he received next left him completely dumbfounded.

Han Yutao was taken away for investigation.

But the other party didn't tell him the specific reason.

They don't even know how long they'll have to cooperate with the investigation.

This made him feel a little uneasy.

At this moment, Gao Chun seemed not to hear anything.

The vice president frowned and repeated it in a stern voice.

This startled Gao Chun, who was lost in thought.

He stammered, "I...I don't know!"

do not know?
Upon hearing this, the vice president's brows furrowed even more.

He immediately tapped the table three times with his fingers.

With a serious expression, he said, "Gao Chun! I don't know what kind of secret you, Zhong Zijian, and President Han have, but now it's confirmed that President Han is inside! You need to give me an explanation at the board meeting at 2 PM this afternoon! Otherwise, I'll call the police right now and say the president is missing!"

It is a fact that Han Yutao was imprisoned.

But he didn't know why he was in there.

There was simply no way to take any action.

This put both the company and him in a passive position.

The company doesn't belong to Han Yutao alone; he has to be responsible for himself and the other shareholders. Trying to get information about Han Yutao by calling the police and making a scene is actually the worst option.

But once the loss of contact exceeds 72 hours.

This was the choice that had to be made.

At this moment, the vice president also wanted to scare Gao Chun.

I tried to get some clues from him to confirm some of my suspicions.

Unfortunately.

Gao Chun has calmed down now.

Perhaps it was wishful thinking that got in the way.

After that, no matter how much the vice president pressed him for answers, he didn't say anything.

2 p.m.

In the absence of the Chairman (Han Yutao) and the Board Secretary (Zhong Zijian), the meeting was initiated by the Executive Director and the Independent Director.

The Shark Platform held its second board meeting since its IPO.

Currently, the company's vice president is also the executive director of the board.

There were nine people in total attending the meeting.

Vice Chairman Yang Chengshun arrived at the meeting room door.

At this point, the eight people inside had already begun to discuss the matter.

Yang Chengshun notified them separately on the day Han Yutao went missing.

It was also by borrowing the strength of those few people.

I only found out then that Han Yutao had already gone inside.

"Mr. Zhang? What exactly is the matter with Mr. Han?"

"Never mind what it's about! Is it really that hard to use your connections to get him to call back a few times?"

"If you ask me, could it be that he got caught in a prostitution raid? But doesn't President Han dislike girls?"

"Holy crap! Really?! No wonder Mr. Han glanced at my butt a few times that day! I'm so pissed off!"

"."

The conference room was filled with smoke, resembling a fairyland.

Each of them held a cigar.

Most of the board members of the Shark platform were "carefully" selected by Han Yutao, and they were basically people who posed no threat to him.

at this time.

Yang Chengshun stood at the door.

Listening to the conversation of several people coming through the crack.

His brows were furrowed.

After pushing open the door and entering, the eyes of several people subconsciously turned towards them.

Only Mr. Zhang from the previous conversation.

Because my back was to the door, I didn't notice it.

This is a reply to another person's question.

"I don't know! The person I contacted was quite reluctant to say much. It shouldn't have been a raid on prostitution. If it were, I would have just arrested him. But my friend is so reluctant, so it's probably not a small matter!"

At this time.

The reactions of the crowd, coupled with the sound of footsteps behind them.

Mr. Zhang turned his head to look.

Upon seeing Yang Chengshun, he asked, "Mr. Yang! How is the company doing now?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chengshun shook his head.

After taking his seat at the head of the table, he looked at everyone and said, "I've stabilized the turmoil in the company! However, we don't know why President Han is in jail. I suggest that if we don't have any concrete information within 72 hours, we should report it to the police and make the news public! Let the authorities respond!"

Hear this.

Everyone present had a deep frown on their face.

Mr. Zhang, who had just spoken, said, "What will happen to the stock market? With such a huge negative news story, if there's no buffer at all, the stock price might just be halved!"

There are no daily price limits for US stocks.

The circuit breaker only halts trading for a few hours.

Trading will be suspended for one day once the peak value of 20% is reached within a day.

When the avalanche comes...

The stock price will then be out of control!
Hearing this, Yang Chengshun nodded and said, "I know! But just like you said, Mr. Zhang! In this situation, Mr. Han's matter is definitely not trivial! And don't we still have more than twenty hours?"

The current market value is still over 3 billion.

They were the original shareholders.

You can't lose money no matter what.

Yang Chengshun's words were not hard to understand; he simply wanted them to cut their losses while Han Yutao's matter was still out in the open.

But has the situation gotten that serious?
At this moment, the previously frivolous crowd's expressions turned serious.

Although they don't get involved.

But that doesn't mean they don't care about money.

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to Mr. Zhang, who held shares in that company.

As a representative of that company.

To a large extent, they also regard it as a trend indicator.

At this point, Mr. Zhang stood up and said, "Let's arrange it this way! But there's still too little time! Try your best to stall for time, and call the police when rumors start circulating online!"

There's something wrong with that tone.

It was as if he were talking to a subordinate.

But Yang Chengshun nodded quite seriously upon hearing this.

His expression of accepting instructions made the people present thoughtful.

But this is no longer important.

The most important thing now is how to get out of this mess.

Just as the group was about to discuss the details and then adjourn the meeting.

The conference room door was pushed open.

Yang Chengshun's secretary rushed in and whispered something in his ear.

This scene happened unexpectedly.

This caused everyone to frown.

Mr. Zhang, in particular, felt a sudden sense of panic for no apparent reason!
You can see from Yang Chengshun's expression that he couldn't hold back.

As the secretary finished speaking...

Yang Chengshun gestured for her to leave.

After the conference room door closed.

Yang Chengshun looked up to meet the questioning gazes of the crowd and said, "Netizens tagged the official account regarding whether the platform is involved in gambling, and the official account just responded."

at the same time.

Lu Yiming received a call from Cao Siyun.

After learning that the goal was achieved in less than three minutes after the operation was completed.

He couldn't help but glance at the time.

He immediately muttered, "Making over ten million dollars in half an hour! Who the hell can afford that!"

crazy!

The whole internet is going crazy!

The news that Shark Platform CEO Han Yutao had been secretly taken away for investigation spread across the entire internet in a very short time.

Lu Yiming has generated a lot of buzz.

Many people are following his next move.

But who would have thought that such a shocking piece of news would break out.

Lu Yiming's fan group started celebrating the Chinese New Year early.

[Hahaha! This is hilarious! The person died two days ago! Hahaha!]

[I was wondering why the platform hadn't reacted these past few days! Turns out, Mr. Lu was taken away the night he was livestreaming in Sanya! This is getting interesting!]

[By the way! What about that international friend? I heard he hasn't been streaming these past few days? Wasn't he supposed to be quite eloquent? Why is he hesitant to stream and say a few words now?]

[Hahaha! That damn liar is probably scared! All the bloggers who spread rumors about Lu Yiming across the internet have apologized today! The power of ten million is terrifying!]

Come on, come on! It's Chinese New Year today! I'll give my brothers 200 yuan red envelopes as a token of my appreciation!

[The boss is generous! The boss is in good health!]

【.】

According to the official announcement.

It was not stated what exactly Han Yutao was arrested for.

However, the question raised by netizens concerns whether the platform is suspected of operating a casino.

Although this response did not mention it.

But it's pretty much the same as saying it.

Lu Yiming originally wanted to celebrate the start of the broadcast.

But then he received a phone call.

After the other party identified themselves.

It expresses the hope that he will not be too impulsive before the outcome is clear.

To prevent things from spiraling out of control.

As a law-abiding citizen, he naturally said there was no problem.

And asked, "Um... I shouldn't have to be investigated, right?"

"No need! You haven't participated in any paid gift raffles, so you're not on our invitation list."

Hear this.

Lu Yiming was completely relieved.

at this time.

His smile is harder to suppress than an AK.

He immediately reiterated his promise that he would not stir up any more controversy in the near future.

The news was officially released around 2 PM.

Until 3 p.m.

After Lu Yiming received the call from the authorities, many people started tagging him online.

In this regard.

Lu Yiming's response on social media consisted of only one emoji.

at this time.

Zhong Zijian and Han Yutao have "lost contact".

The funding chain for the "smear campaign" against Lu Yiming has been cut off, and Lu Yiming's reckless spending on lawsuits has not had a significant negative impact on him.

Meanwhile, the night before last, Lu Yiming criticized the platform for being involved in gambling.

With this official announcement.

It can be said that his current online image is that of a "hero" fighting against "black and evil forces".

At least that's how his fans see it.
Compared to Lu Yiming, who could comfortably continue having fun in Sanya.

Other streamers on the Shark platform were thrown into a panic by this announcement.

It's safe to say that 90% of the streamers on the Shark platform have participated in this type of paid lottery.

Lu Yiming stopped broadcasting on the afternoon of September 2nd.

Lu Yiming appeared in a Douyin live stream on the evening of September 3rd.

On September 5th, the official statement announced that Han Yutao had been taken away for investigation.

In just four days.

The platform's market value has increased from $3.7 billion.

It has fallen to $2.8 billion.

A top-tier live streaming platform is watching its empire crumble.

This inevitably brings to mind the key figure, Lu Yiming.

It started that evening.

Netizens jokingly said that this was the consequence of the platform causing trouble for Lu Yiming.

Let me explain.

That's a bit of a stretch.

After all, if the person who caused the problem hadn't done anything wrong, this whole thing wouldn't have happened.

But that doesn't stop netizens and Lu Yiming's fans from thinking that way.

However, this occurred after the US stock market reopened that evening.

The circuit breaker tripped twice in a row.

The system will be shut down once the peak value reaches 20%.

All three levels of circuit breaker mechanisms were triggered.

Less than two hours after the market opened.

Shark Platform's market value has evaporated by $560 million!

The news came out

The netizens who are following this matter all had six words in mind.

Shark platform GG!

Daily time reminders are updated.

Before 6 PM.

Before midnight.
