Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Hibiscus Bank Chicago Branch.

Yasuda Kagami smashed his favorite tea set to pieces, and cursed in his mouth: "Baga! It's the lingering Qianhai Asset Management again. He didn't reduce his holdings sooner or later, but he took this moment to cause trouble... …”

Yasuda Yumi, who was lowering his head to clean up the broken tea set, suddenly raised his head and said: "Your Excellency, President! A lot of short orders suddenly appeared last month. Could it be that Qianhai Asset Management was shorting Nasdaq index futures?"

"Nani? How is this possible? How come we haven't heard any news about such a big rival entering the market? Yumiko, please go check quickly. Do the investment companies that have recently reduced their stakes have anything to do with Qianhai Asset Management?" Yasuda Kagami said with a somewhat panicked expression.

"Your Excellency, President! I have checked. Most of the investment companies that have been reducing their stakes during this period were involved in short selling the Tokyo stock market ten years ago. They have close ties with Qianhai Asset Management, including during the Southeast Asian financial crisis. They have also been advancing and retreating together with Qianhai Asset Management, and the capital market calls them Qianhai Investment Company..." Yumi Yasuda reported.

"Qianhai Department! I'm afraid we won't be able to help them this time..." Yasuda muttered to himself with a ferocious look on his face.

"President, what should we do now? Do we want to enter the market to protect the market?" Yasuda Yumi asked.

Yasuda Kaga shook his head and said: "No! Let them be proud for a while. Not long after Qianhai Department joined the short side camp, the cost of the short positions held was too low. Most of them were high chips between 4500-5000, allowing small and medium-sized investors to invest. The enemy will block the bullets for us for a while, wait until around 4300 points, and then launch a counterattack!"

"Your Excellency, President, are we just going to watch the Qianhai Department disrupt the situation?" Yumi Yasuda asked worriedly.

Yasuda Kagami pondered for a long time and then frowned and said: "Find a few well-connected media to continue to sing the bullish tune on the stocks of these Internet companies in the name of analyzing the holding reduction incident of major shareholders..."

"Ah! Are we spending money to reduce and endorse the Hai family in advance?" Yumi Yasuda opened her mouth wide and asked in surprise.

"What can we do? The lesser of two evils! It's better than them taking advantage of the opportunity to reduce their holdings and smashing the market hysterically!" After Yasuda Kaga finished speaking, a bad shadow began to cast over his heart.

This move of the Qianhai style is quite unique!They first sell short orders in Nasdaq futures, and then submit a holding reduction application to the Securities Regulatory Commission. No matter whether the stock price rises or falls, they are invincible!

Yasuda Kagami was lucky enough to hope that the Qianhai Department's short position on the Nasdaq futures was simply a hedge to reduce his holdings!

You can’t just short-sell your own stocks in order to make a profit on Nasdaq futures, right?So what does Qianhai Asset Management have in mind?

Driven by Yasuda Kaga, a Japanese media published a commentator's article on the front page:

"The brutal expansion of Zhiyuan Group and Qianhai Asset Management illustrates the immeasurable development potential of Internet companies! Just imagine, if you reduce your holdings of 5% of Cisco's shares, you can use cash to acquire the century-old Vivendi Group, with a market value of 6000 With a billion-dollar Cisco, they only need to raise another 10% of equity financing to acquire multinational automobile giants like Toyota and Volkswagen..."

"There are many Internet companies like Cisco on Nasdaq. Their stock price may be only one dollar today and their market value may be only tens of millions. But in this Internet era that is changing our lives, anything is possible. Maybe A dollar of stock today, a humble Internet company, in a few years becomes another Cisco or Qualcomm..."

"Speaking of which, I want to tell you a true story. Ten years ago, my best friend and I saved up US$20 together. He used the money to buy stocks of Microsoft and Intel, and I used the money to buy stocks of Microsoft and Intel. I bought a house with this money, and as everyone can guess, I am now scrimping every day to pay off the damn mortgage, while he is driving a Ferrari sports car and vacationing in a beachside villa in Miami with a blonde and blue-eyed fashion girl in his arms."

Such soft articles stimulate the nerves of many investors who fantasize about getting rich overnight. The wealth effect is vividly before their eyes, causing ordinary investors who are belatedly to chase the artificially high Internet company stocks one after another.

Yang Mo's well-prepared plan to reduce the shareholdings of major shareholders was wiped out by a soft article...

In a crazy bull market, it is extremely difficult to destroy the confidence of ordinary investors!

Silicon Valley Dune Road.

Zhiyuan Investment Company.

"This Yasuda Kaga really has a problem. Such a large-scale reduction of listed company shareholders was solved by his soft culture? The Nasdaq index actually rebounded by 4800 points..." Lin Xi said with a look of regret.

"Peace! Contact the San Francisco branch of Citibank to acquire the pledged equity of America Online from them?" Yang Mo said after thinking for a while.

"Acquiring the pledged equity of America Online?" Li Heping asked puzzledly.

"Making a move to forcibly acquire AOL and Time Warner!" Yang Mo said in a deep voice.

"and then?"

"Then on the grounds of acquiring America Online, we once again applied to reduce our stake in Yahoo and Intel held by Qianhai Asset Management!" Yang Mo said without a doubt.

"Do I have to give up my controlling stake in Yahoo? Am I also planning to merge Yahoo into Qianhai Media Group?" Li Heping said with a look of surprise on his face.

Yang Mo waved his hand and said: "Get enough short orders to burst the accumulated Internet bubble. Which company do you want to have equity in but can't get it?"

Lin Xi, who had been looking at the market, suddenly said: "Could Qianhai Asset Management just use the pretext of reducing its holdings to sell short orders on the Nasdaq 06 contract as a reasonable hedge? Will that old devil Yasuda Kaga be fooled?"

After Yang Mo glanced at Lin Xi with approval, he turned to look at Li Heping and continued: "Heping, according to what Lin Xi said, test this Yasuda Kaga through the board language! Use Qianhai Asset Management to open the account and sell continuously. Place three short orders of 500 lots of Nasdaq futures 06 contract to hedge the risk of reducing holdings in the secondary market!"

"Mr. Yang, I'm still worried that such a large-scale continuous reduction of shareholdings will trigger an investigation by the China Securities Regulatory Commission..." Li Heping said with concern.

"Don't worry, as long as they don't cash out, they won't take off their masks for a while. After all, Western countries have always flaunted completely free and open financial markets. Besides, Qianhai Asset Management is adjusting its investment strategy, getting involved in the media business, reducing its holdings in Yahoo and Amazon shares are not illegal..." Yang Mo said disapprovingly.

"That's right! Heping, why are you getting less and less courageous now? Qianhai Asset Management is just an investment company and never interferes with the operations of shareholding companies. Isn't the essence of an investment company just to sell high and buy low, and buy things with investment value? Equity, selling stocks that realize commercial value?" Lin Xi said disapprovingly.
