Counterattack starts with controlling probability

The phone rang. Xu Lei had just come out of the conference room. When he saw Wang Qiang's name on the screen, he immediately picked up the phone.

Wang Qiang's voice was calm and thoughtful: "Xu Lei, Li Hao is not here. I have a question I want to discuss with you."

"Professor Wang, please go ahead." Xu Lei has always been respectful to Wang Qiang, and his tone unconsciously carried a hint of respect.

"Noah Technology's stock price is currently fluctuating wildly, and it seems the situation hasn't been effectively contained in the short term. Have you considered buying back or increasing your holdings?"

Wang Qiang's words were plain, but they contained concerns that could not be ignored.

"Of course we are aware of the fluctuations in stock prices and we pay attention to them. Increasing holdings is an option, but we are not in a hurry to take such measures." Xu Lei paused, a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Chen Kai was sitting aside and heard Wang Qiang mention the stock price issue.

He couldn't help but say, "Professor Wang, share buybacks can indeed stabilize the market, but on the one hand, we also need to consider long-term investment arrangements in terms of funds. On the other hand, the stock market is so volatile, I'm afraid not all investors can accept the short-term fluctuations caused by buybacks."

"Your considerations make sense," Wang Qiang responded, seemingly speculating internally. "But the most important factor in stock price fluctuations is confidence. If you can restore shareholder confidence through certain measures, the subsequent listing process will likely go much more smoothly. Increasing holdings and repurchases, even just a signal, will have a positive impact on the market."

Xu Lei seemed to be lost in thought, looking down at the Noah Technology stock price chart on the table.

"You're saying that even a symbolic buyback would reassure investors?"

"That's right," Wang Qiang said firmly. "For the outside world, stock price fluctuations before the IPO are inevitable. But as management, the key is how to stabilize market sentiment and restore investor confidence."

Chen Kai nodded and added, "Moreover, if we increase our shareholding, it will not only boost our confidence, but also help us maintain our controlling stake in the company, which is crucial for our company's future operations."

"Yes, I totally agree." Xu Lei was a little excited at this moment. "I can arrange a small-scale increase in holdings. It won't be too ostentatious, but it will definitely send a clear signal to the market. As for the repurchase, we can discuss it with the Finance Department to see if there is room for operation."

Wang Qiang was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, then we'll follow your plan. But we also need to communicate well in advance to avoid over-interpretation in the market."

"Understood, Professor Wang." Xu Lei said in a serious tone, "We will act as soon as possible."

Chen Kai also interjected: "Then we must also determine the specific operations as soon as possible to avoid any delays."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Lei and Chen Kai exchanged glances, both knowing that it would be a difficult task to deal with the stock price fluctuations and restore confidence.

"We have to speed up." Xu Lei stood up. "We can't drag this game on any longer."

Chen Kai nodded slightly: "It's time to make some moves."

They all know that the next decision will not only affect Noah Technology’s stock price, but will also be directly related to whether the company can successfully pass this critical juncture.

Since Li Hao is not here, they have to shoulder this responsibility.

But at this moment, the phone rang again. Xu Lei looked down and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

He answered the phone, his voice still a little doubtful: "Hello, who is this?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was steady and powerful: "Hello, I'm Manager Liang from Jianzhong Bank. I'd like to confirm with you about Li Hao's affairs."

Xu Lei and Chen Kai looked at each other and were a little surprised.

Although Li Hao has gone abroad, he has always been thorough in his work, especially in matters concerning Noah Technology, and has never been negligent.

"Manager Liang, is there anything wrong?" Xu Lei relaxed his tone slightly and tried to make his voice sound calm.

"That's right," Manager Liang continued. "Before Li Hao left the country, he specifically told me that if Noah Technologies' stock price experienced significant fluctuations, especially as it is now, he wanted me to contact you immediately."

"In addition, you are authorized to use a large amount of company funds and, if necessary, to decide on some important response measures."

"What do you mean?" Chen Kai was a little confused. "Li Hao gave you such a big authorization?"

"Yes," Manager Liang's tone remained steady. "Li Hao explicitly stated that when the stock price fluctuates significantly, he hopes you can make independent and swift decisions. This will effectively prevent market sentiment from getting out of control and prevent the company's stock price from coming under excessive pressure. He believes you can handle this."

Hearing this, Xu Lei frowned, his eyes thoughtful. "So that means Li Hao has given us a certain amount of decision-making power. He hopes we can handle the funding and stock price issues on our own?"

Manager Liang replied, "Yes, he completely trusts you to operate independently. But he also specifically reminded us that if we need to use funds, especially large sums, we must make our own decisions as soon as possible. Don't delay."

Neither Chen Kai nor Xu Lei responded immediately. Although this sudden authorization seemed a bit abrupt, it was not unexpected.

Li Hao has always been cautious and thoughtful, especially when it comes to the future development of Noah Technology. He never underestimates any decision that may affect the company and its stock price.

"Li Hao did tell me how big the scope of authorization is?" Chen Kai broke the silence, his tone somewhat tentative.

"Li Hao didn't give a specific limit," Manager Liang replied. "He simply emphasized that if the stock price fluctuates significantly and shareholder and market sentiment becomes unstable, the company may need to mobilize funds to stabilize market sentiment. You can flexibly decide the specific amount of funds to be used based on the situation."

Although Xu Lei felt a little complicated, he quickly adjusted himself. "If this situation arises, we will handle it according to Li Hao's wishes. But he also knows that using large amounts of funds and decision-making power is very sensitive, after all, it will have a huge impact on the company's future."

Manager Liang nodded. "I understand. Li Hao specifically instructed us to ensure transparency and compliance with regulations to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Therefore, we must be cautious when making decisions."

"Of course," Xu Lei replied, "We will ensure that every step is within a reasonable range."

Manager Liang on the other end of the phone reminded again: "Okay, then I won't bother you. I will continue to pay attention to what Li Hao has instructed. If there is anything you need me to communicate further, please feel free to contact me."

"Thank you, Manager Liang." Xu Lei responded politely.

After hanging up the phone, the room fell silent for a few seconds. Chen Kai spoke first, "Hey, Brother Hao's arrangements are quite thorough. However, such decision-making power and the use of funds are bound to be a bit stressful."

"Yes," Xu Lei said softly. "Li Hao's trust is certainly touching, but it also means that we must shoulder more responsibility. The stock price fluctuations have already affected market sentiment. During this period, all decisions will be under great scrutiny."

"But, if we really do use the funds, how will the shareholders react?" Chen Kai frowned. "You know, the stock market is like a psychological battlefield. Once everyone's mentality changes, the whole situation may become very complicated."

"That's why we need to make the decision ourselves," Xu Lei said with a hint of determination. "Li Hao gave us the choice because he trusts us. Now, we must not only consider the stock price, but also how to stabilize market confidence and find a balance."

Chen Kai nodded and said slowly: "Okay, in that case, we will follow Li Hao's arrangements and be prepared to deal with it."

Both of them knew that this was not just a simple stock market response issue, but concerned the future direction of Noah Technology.

After several days of intense discussions and arrangements, Chen Kai and Xu Lei finally decided to use part of the company's funds to stabilize Noah Technology's stock price.

Market sentiment was once very unstable, stock prices fluctuated frequently, and investors' confidence was seriously affected.

In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, Chen Kai proposed a capital injection plan to support the stock price by repurchasing stocks and stabilize market sentiment.

After several hours of intense operations, the capital injection gradually took effect, Noah Technology's stock price began to rise, and the panic in the market was curbed.

Despite this, both men knew that this was only a short-term relief and that the real challenges remained.

The stock price stabilization is only temporary. How to maintain stability in the future is the most difficult problem they need to face.

At the same time, in one of the top hotels in Beijing, a group of middle-aged men in suits sat around a long conference table.

There was a laptop on the table, and the screen was showing the stock price chart of Noah Technology.

The atmosphere in the room seemed a little oppressive, and everyone's face had a hint of tension, even a little excitement.

"Noah Technology's stock price has been fluctuating quite a bit lately," one of the older men muttered, a cold glint in his eyes. "This is our chance to intervene."

He pointed to the stock price curve displayed on the screen, his tone full of calculation and calculation.

"Now is a good time. The stock price is fluctuating wildly and there's not much confidence in the market. It's the perfect time for us to act."

The other man smiled faintly. "So what should we do next? Do you have a plan?"

"Of course." The older man tapped the table lightly. "We have a dedicated trading team and the funds are ready. Once the stock price shows signs of recovery, we can use our advantage to quickly adjust the market. By buying a large number of stocks, we can create information asymmetry in the market and manipulate stock price fluctuations. At this time, we can quietly sell our accumulated shares at a high price and buy them back at a low price, seizing the opportunity to profit."

"You mean, creating a false signal in the short term?" another man asked hesitantly.

"Yes." The older man nodded slightly. "Through high-frequency trading and technical means in the capital market, we can cause large fluctuations in stock prices in a short period of time. In this way, we can manipulate market sentiment and make Noah Technology's stock price fluctuate as we wish. At the same time, we can profit greatly from this 'fluctuation'."

At this moment, the young man sitting next to me suddenly spoke up: "But, won't this attract the attention of regulators? If discovered, our operations could face legal risks."

The older man sneered, "Do you think the current market regulators can see through our operations? Our team has professional operational skills and can make everything appear legal and compliant. As long as it doesn't cause too much volatility, the regulators won't easily intervene."

He paused, then added, "Besides, we have far more control over this game than you might think. Li Hao and his group of executives may have a certain influence in the financial world, but whether they can stabilize the stock price for a few days or even months, they ultimately rely on us."

The men exchanged glances with each other and seemed quite satisfied with the next plan.

The young man whispered, "Once their capital injection stops, the stock price will definitely show signs of decline. Then we can make further moves. Once market sentiment collapses, our opportunity will come."

The older man raised his lips and sneered, "Noah Technology, don't think you can just sit back and count the money just because you're listed!"
