Counterattack starts with controlling probability
Chapter 90: All-out "War"
At the board meeting of Universal Group, Chen Qiming finally stabilized the situation and temporarily calmed the turmoil caused by Chen Qihang.
Huanyu continues to firmly support Noah Technology and Li Hao's technological innovation strategy.
However, the situation at Noah Technology took a sharp turn for the worse, and Baiyan Capital's relentless pressure made Li Hao's team defenseless.
Li Hao clearly felt that this offensive not only came from Baiyan Capital, but also had the secret support of Chen Qihang.
This character, who was once silent in the world, has now become Baiyan Capital's most powerful ally.
He is well aware of Noah Technology's internal layout and is well aware of Li Hao's shareholding structure.
Baiyan Capital, using the internal intelligence provided by Chen Qihang, repeated the same trick, reversing the methods that Li Hao had used to consolidate his control over Noah, and infiltrated Noah's capital structure layer by layer.
Baiyan Capital did not choose to approach directly, but instead adopted a more subtle strategy - they quietly absorbed the shares of Noah Technology's small and medium shareholders through some intermediary companies, especially those retail shareholders who held a small proportion of shares.
They even secretly invested money and exerted pressure through a few investment banks and fund companies, trying to guide some of Noah's small shareholders to "cash out" their shares in order to induce a sell-off.
"It seems that Baiyan Capital will not give up until it achieves its goal." Li Hao sat in the office, frowning.
In recent weeks, he and his team have not only had to deal with the sniping of Baiyan Capital, but also had to appease the executives of Feiyue Media.
Feiyue Media's shareholders were originally full of confidence in Noah's steady development and looked forward to the prospects after the joint listing.
However, as Baiyan Capital's interference in Noah intensified, Feiyue Media's team began to worry that its listing plans would be affected.
Some shareholders who originally firmly supported the company are now beginning to hesitate, and some have even begun to express their dissatisfaction publicly, questioning Liu Fei whether it was necessary to tie the plan of Noah and Feiyue Media's joint listing together.
At this moment, Feiyue’s financial director directly expressed his dissatisfaction at the high-level meeting.
"Will Noah Technology's current predicament hinder its growth? We've invested a lot of money and energy in the early stages of the IPO. If we can't even guarantee basic stability now, the risks after the IPO will be even greater!"
Li Hao understood what the spread of this emotion meant.
He responded calmly, "This fluctuation is only short-term. Feiyue Media's actual performance has not been affected. Coupled with the synergy between us, short-term fluctuations will not shake the overall situation."
"That's true, but how much capital do we have to withstand short-term fluctuations?" the CFO remained dissatisfied. "We all know that investors are most averse to this kind of uncertainty."
After the meeting, several senior executives of Feiyue began to whisper, revealing their distrust of Li Hao.
Some minority shareholders even said that if Noah's difficulties continue, they may propose to divest from the joint listing plan with Noah.
Li Hao saw this and felt annoyed.
He knew that this was another strategy of White Rock Capital, deliberately creating internal divisions and amplifying the outside world's doubts about Noah.
At this tense moment, Lao Pi's voice sounded in his heart.
[You don't have many chips on hand, Li Hao, but perhaps you can use Feiyue's senior management to mobilize some resources to curb Bai Yan's capital infiltration. Remember, allies in trouble are easier to unite than usual.]
After hearing Lao Pi's reminder, Li Hao calmed down a little.
Indeed, the core issue that is currently troubling Feiyue Media is their concerns about Noah's listing prospects. If they can find a more powerful solution, they may be able to stabilize these shareholders.
In the next few days, Li Hao did not act rashly, but instead analyzed Baiyan Capital's capital operation path from the beginning.
He gradually realized that Baiyan Capital's infiltration methods were not only complex but also extremely covert.
To avoid causing further panic among Feiyue Media's shareholders, Li Hao decided to adopt a multi-pronged strategy - he began to accelerate the company's internal anti-takeover strategy to prevent external transfer of equity.
At the same time, he arranged for the team to maintain constant communication with core shareholders and convey the message that the company's operations remained stable through internal channels.
Chen Qihang was not idle either. He also spread some remarks within Uniview Technologies, suggesting that Noah's path to listing was full of risks, trying to influence the opinions of some Uniview Technologies directors.
Sure enough, within just a few days, some opposing voices began to emerge again within the board of directors of Universal. Some people believed that what Chen Qihang said was reasonable and that the capital investment in Noah was an "unnecessary risk."
Almost at the same time, Baiyan Capital launched a "sell-off" operation on Noah through multiple "channels" in the capital market.
Market rumors were rife, and Noah's potential risks were exaggerated. Some media began to question Noah Technology's market value, claiming that "the company's prospects in the capital market are not optimistic."
Public opinion was in an uproar, which made Feiyue Media's shareholders increasingly uneasy. Some people even approached Liu Fei privately and suggested that they re-evaluate the plan for the joint listing.
The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for Li Hao.
He knew very well that they were at the center of the storm at the moment. If the situation could not be stabilized as soon as possible, not only Noah Technology but also Feiyue Media would be implicated.
"Mr. Pi, the situation is really dangerous now. We are almost forced into a dead end," Li Hao sighed, but he felt an unprecedented desire to fight in his heart.
Lao Pi's voice was steady and firm:
[Li Hao, give it a try. It's precisely because they think we have no way out that they're more likely to reveal a flaw at a critical moment.]
Li Hao nodded, his mind rapidly thinking about his next move.
He decided to personally meet with several core directors of Universal and find a way to rebuild their confidence in Noah.
Before this meeting, he will use channels to let several trusted directors know about Feiyue Media's actual profitability and stability to prevent them from panicking and favoring Chen Qihang's proposal.
At this critical moment, Li Hao calmed down and listed all the resources and forces one by one.
Bai Yan Capital's relentless pressure was imminent, and he knew that in order to fight back thoroughly, he had to use all the chips in his hand.
Faced with strong foreign capital rivals, he began to use Lao Pi's probability manipulation and gradually launched a counterattack on multiple levels in the form of "time and space layout".
First, he contacted the Tsinghua and Peking University Alumni Associations and directly found Professor Bai Tao to explain Bai Yan Capital's intentions and the situation facing Noah Technology.
Bai Tao quickly grasped the seriousness of the situation and said that the alumni association would fully support Li Hao and was even willing to mobilize the Tsinghua and Peking University Alumni Association's huge network of contacts in the business and political circles.
Bai Tao personally contacted some key figures and quickly facilitated a small-scale closed-door meeting of the alumni association to cheer up Noah Technology and open up several backup channels for Li Hao so that he could take tougher actions if necessary.
After the meeting, Li Hao was secretly grateful to Bai Tao for his great help. He realized that what Noah Technology needed at this moment was not only to resist foreign enemies, but also to gather strength.
Therefore, Li Hao did not stop, but immediately used Lao Pi's ability to carry out a more precise counterattack against Baiyan Capital's next plan.
He silently recited a series of probability control instructions in his mind and began to make arrangements at multiple points - the schedules of some important people suddenly changed, the information channels of Bai Yan Capital were deviated, and even at the critical moment of stock trading, several of Bai Yan's equity transactions were unexpectedly delayed.
All these subtle "accidents" made Baiyan Capital's pace seem chaotic, and there were discordant voices within the company. Several responsible persons even had doubts about the current strategy.
At the same time, Li Hao found Zhang Feng, an executive working at Amazon who had a very high reputation within the multinational company.
After listening to Li Hao's situation, Zhang Feng resolutely decided to come forward in the official capacity of Amazon, issued a statement supporting Noah Technology's cooperation, and delivered this statement to multiple international financial media platforms.
Amazon's statement undoubtedly gave Li Hao a shot in the arm. Such public support not only increased Noah Technology's credibility, but also to a certain extent strengthened the confidence of Feiyue Media and other potential partners.
A surge of fighting spirit surged in Li Hao's heart. Zhang Feng's endorsement meant that Noah's position in the international investment circle was recognized, which formed an invisible deterrent for Baiyan Capital.
Immediately afterwards, Li Hao contacted Professor Wang Qiang and expressed his need for future financing support.
The influence of Zen Fund cannot be underestimated, especially in the field of venture capital, where it has strong resources.
Wang Qiang responded immediately, expressing his willingness to guide some domestic high-quality funds into Noah and Xingxing's projects, and thereby form a financial barrier to ensure that Baiyan Capital would encounter greater resistance in hostile takeovers.
Zen Fund began planning to increase its capital injection into Noah, indirectly stabilizing Noah's cash flow, thereby making it difficult for Baiyan Capital to control it through capital holdings.
To prevent further pressure from the enemy, Li Hao and Xu Lei jointly designed a defense mechanism to incorporate Noah's key technologies and assets into multiple independent subsidiaries to diversify risks.
At the same time, he strengthened communication with the senior management of Feiyue Media, showing them the support of Amazon and Zen Fund, and thus dispelling their doubts.
Just when Baiyan Capital attempted to increase its stake in Noah, Lao Pi's abilities came into play again.
A sudden financial risk warning fell on Baiyan Capital. This sudden "storm" caused Baiyan Capital to fall into internal panic, and part of its shares were forced to be sold to fill the shortage of capital chain.
Li Hao immediately seized the opportunity and, together with Xu Lei, contacted several investors from the Peking University and Tsinghua University alumni associations to take over part of Baiyan Capital's equity at a low price.
This small move caused Bai Yan to encounter obstacles at the controlling level, and the overall layout of Bai Yan Capital was greatly affected.
Li Hao's multi-level counterattack is not only a physical counterattack, but also a psychological tactic.
He specially arranged a press conference, inviting representatives from Amazon, Zen Fund and some investment institutions to attend and publicly display Noah Technology's performance and development prospects.
At the press conference, he spoke about Noah's technological innovations and recent cooperation progress, and specifically mentioned that "we only work with partners who truly respect market rules."
The content of this press conference quickly spread throughout the capital market, and even many industry giants expressed great interest in Noah's future.
The pressure on Baiyan Capital is growing heavier because they vaguely realize that behind Noah Technology is not just Li Hao's personal power, but a broad-based support alliance.
At Noah's shareholders' meeting, Li Hao further strengthened shareholders' confidence in the company. He clearly analyzed the future development strategy, especially the target planning for the next three years. He did not shy away from mentioning Baiyan Capital's hostile takeover and even pointed out that the capital's actions were incompatible with Noah's corporate culture.
His speech received a warm response from shareholders, which not only weakened the influence of Baiyan Capital, but also further strengthened the cohesion within Noah.
As these counterattacks gradually showed their effectiveness, Baiyan Capital's plans were almost shelved.
The other party tried to infiltrate every gap of Noah through the capital market, but Li Hao, with the guidance of Lao Pi and the support of the Tsinghua and Peking University Alumni Association, used a more covert "probability operation" to change a series of accidental events at key nodes, making Baiyan Capital's efforts in vain.
However, Li Hao understood that Baiyan Capital would not give up easily.
Behind this capital struggle, the other party is still looking for new breakthroughs.
