Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

The Lin Group is too small a business.

The entire group is only worth tens of billions.

Meng Chuan entered the market with a massive investment of 5 billion yuan, and the scene was like a surging wave sweeping in.

In an instant, the Lin Group's stock price soared like a rocket, hitting the daily limit in a flash.

This thrilled the shareholders of the Lin Group, who felt as if they were seeing countless riches beckoning to them.

However, those capital institutions were completely bewildered by this sudden change.

Who exactly is this person, bringing such immense power into the arena?

And what are their motives?

Capital is always extremely sensitive to the slightest market fluctuations, and it's hard to ignore the Lin Group's soaring stock price.

However, while everyone was still in shock and speculation, Meng Chuan quietly began his next plan.

He decisively closed his position, an action that triggered a financial earthquake.

The Lin Group's stock price instantly lost its support and plummeted like a kite with a broken string.

For ordinary stock investors, the huge difference between this rise and fall is like falling from heaven to hell in an instant.

One moment they were immersed in the joy of a stock hitting its daily limit and the dream of getting rich overnight, and the next moment they were stunned and filled with fear by the cruel reality.

They subconsciously believed that this was a hidden market maker pumping up the price to unload their shares and then making a quick getaway.

In the stock market, a battlefield without gunpowder, everyone knows that being "harvested" is a terrible experience.

No one wants to be the unlucky one who can be slaughtered at will.

Panic spread rapidly like a plague, and countless shareholders frantically sold off their Lin Group shares.

All we can do is minimize the losses from this disaster.

However, with many sellers and few buyers, the stock price naturally plummeted like a collapsing snow mountain.

It took only a dozen minutes for the price to go from hitting the daily limit up to almost hitting the daily limit down, a speed that left people speechless.

Those who invested heavily suffered even greater losses, and despair gripped them, leaving them with nothing.

Although Meng Chuan also lost 500 million yuan in this turmoil, he didn't care.

To catch fish, you definitely need some bait.

Without initial investment, how can there be final victory?

Immediately afterwards, Meng Chuan re-established his position with lightning speed.

At prices nearing the daily limit down, it devoured a large number of retail stocks that were being sold off in panic.

Meng Chuan couldn't let the Lin Group's stock hit its daily limit down.

Soon, Meng Chuan successfully acquired 30% of the shares in the Lin Group.

At this point, he no longer needed to hide his talents. According to stock market rules, he would need to disclose his ownership stake if he controlled 10% of the shares.

Now holding 30%, he has become a powerful force behind the Lin Group that cannot be ignored.

He was like a king standing in the shadows, coldly declaring his sovereignty.

From this moment forward, Meng Chuan will be the master of Lin's Group's stock price; whether it rises or falls is entirely up to him.

Unless someone can come up with 5 billion to compete with Meng Chuan.

Otherwise, everything will proceed according to his script.

In this battlefield of capital, who would dare to easily take out such a huge amount of money to compete with Meng Chuan, an invisible opponent?

After all, if Meng Chuan is angered and chooses to crash the market, it will be a disaster that destroys everything, and everyone will be doomed.

At the headquarters of the Lin Group, Lin Zhongyue, the head of the Lin family, Lin Xuan's father, and also the head of the Lin Group, was busy in his office.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the subordinate rushed in with a look of terror on his face.

"President Lin, something terrible has happened! Someone is manipulating the stock market, and Lin Group's stock has plummeted. We've lost a billion yuan in the blink of an eye!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhongyue was struck dumb, his eyes widening instantly, his facial muscles contorting with rage.

"What? What the hell is going on?"

He roared as he rushed to the computer, quickly checking stock price trends and related information.

Soon, he discovered a strange yet crucial name—Meng Chuan.

"Just who is this Meng Chuan? Why is he targeting my Lin family like this?"

Lin Zhongyue was filled with doubt and anger, but the current crisis did not allow him to think too much.

"First, stabilize the situation. Immediately mobilize all available funds within the group to boost the stock price. At the same time, find out exactly who this Meng Chuan is!"

Lin Zhongyue suppressed his anger and issued a series of orders.

However, the Lin Group had just spent a huge sum of money to acquire land worth 5 billion, and its cash reserves were already very low.

Left with no other choice, the Lin Group scraped together about 500 million yuan to invest in the stock market to prop up its prices.

Initially, the stock price improved slightly with the injection of funds.

But at that moment, a large number of messages sprang up on the internet like mushrooms after rain.

These messages appear to be unconfirmed rumors and have no apparent direct connection to the Lin Group.

Ordinary people might just treat it as casual conversation, but shareholders and institutions holding shares in the Lin Group are well aware of its seriousness.

The news points directly to the moat of the provincial capital, with rumors suggesting that a rare Yangtze finless porpoise, a Class I protected animal in China, has been spotted in the moat.

Furthermore, in order to protect its living environment, the moat is very likely to be listed as a protected water area.

The Lin Group's valuable land is located on the banks of the moat.

This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing a huge uproar in the market.

The panic among investment institutions was immediately ignited.

The market reacted swiftly, and without Meng Chuan needing to intervene again, the stock price plummeted like an out-of-control train.

The 500 million yuan that Lin Zhongyue painstakingly raised was invested in it, but it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea, without even a ripple.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Lin Zhongyue stared at the continuously falling stock price, his face turning ashen, and his body trembling slightly.

At that moment, he was filled with despair and helplessness.

If the share price cannot be stabilized, the Lin Group will either have to declare bankruptcy and undergo restructuring.

Either buy back all shares and delist.

Either outcome would be an unbearable burden for the Lin family.

Even if they manage to weather the current difficulties, the stock price's dramatic fluctuations will inevitably lead to its classification as an unstable asset.

In the future, it will be extremely difficult to secure financing for land development.

Once the moat is designated as a protected waterway, all efforts will be in vain, and even raising funds will be of no use.

"Dad? What's going on? I just heard that someone is trying to take over the Lin Group?"

Just then, Lin Xuan rushed back in a great hurry.

He had previously flaunted himself in a shopping mall with a female companion, and after humiliating Liu Qian, he was about to have fun with his female companion.

Then he took his female companion to a luxury suite, and they were just getting ready to get down to business!

But he was recalled by an urgent phone call.

"It's this man named Meng Chuan. Damn it, what did my Lin family ever do to offend him?"

Lin Zhongyue was furious, his eyes almost spitting fire.

"What? Meng Chuan? That country bumpkin?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan was first stunned, then his face turned deathly pale.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zhongyue instantly realized that the matter might be related to his good-for-nothing son.

"What exactly happened? Explain yourself clearly!"

Lin Zhongyue glared angrily at Lin Xuan.

Under his father's sharp, knife-like gaze, Lin Xuan trembled with fear, daring not to hide anything.

He recounted in detail the conflict that occurred with Liu Qian and Meng Chuan in the mall.

“Dad, it’s definitely not Meng Chuan. It must be the Liu family behind this. I’ve investigated. Meng Chuan is just a poor student who just finished the college entrance exam. How could he have so much money to scheme against our Lin Group?”

Lin Xuan said with certainty.

"Snapped!"

Without hesitation, Lin Zhongyue raised his hand and slapped Lin Xuan hard across the face, the crisp sound echoing in the office.

"You idiot who only knows how to lust after women! Do you need to tell me this is a trick of the Liu family?"

Enraged, Lin Zhongyue kicked Lin Xuan again.

Then, he took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and slowly said:

"That old fox Liu Fu has been fighting with me for years, but I never expected to be outmaneuvered by him this time."

Having said that, Lin Zhongyue pointed at Lin Xuan and shouted sternly:

"Go, find Liu Qian and Meng Chuan. No matter what method you use, even if you have to kneel and kowtow, beg for their forgiveness. Otherwise, I will not let you off easily!"
