Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

In Dean Zuo Silan's room, Meng Chuan's speech was praised first.

Secondly, we should give them two days off.

It's a rare opportunity to travel abroad, so this can be considered a publicly funded trip.

Everyone can relax and have some time to unwind these next couple of days.

Therefore, Dean Zuo Silan devised a tour route for everyone, with Alice and Natasha serving as tour guides.

These two days are a great opportunity for everyone to explore the ancient city of London.

However, the next day, when everyone was all ready to go.

Meng Chuan, however, chose to stay at the Warburg Manor, citing a cold as the reason.

Meng Chuan received news early in the morning that £100 billion had been deposited into his company's account in the Balman Islands.

This account itself is tax-exempt, which saves a lot of money for the 100 billion.

While Professor Zuo Silan and others went out for a trip.

Meng Chuan and Ying Die secretly took a taxi to the VIP trading room of a top securities firm in the City of London.

The six screens in front of me displayed complex stock market data and trading information.

Meng Chuan's eyes were calm yet sharp.

£100 billion has been secured, with a clear objective – 02 Company's stock.

"Boss, all thirty accounts have been activated."

A British man in a suit spoke to Meng Chuan.

He was George, the person in charge of receiving Meng Chuan, a major client.

This was a strategy that Meng Chuan had already devised.

He cannot make large-scale purchases directly, otherwise it would easily attract regulatory scrutiny and investigation.

He had to quietly acquire shares of Company 02 in the market through multiple, dispersed accounts in small, frequent transactions.

This not only conceals the company's stock, but also prevents a sudden and significant surge in its price.

After all, the higher the purchase price, the more Meng Chuan would lose.

"3.1 pounds, buy 10 shares."

"3.2 pounds, buy 15 shares."

"3.3 pounds, buy 20 shares."

……

Meng Chuan began issuing instructions, with Ying Die translating.

Meng Chuan only learned today that Ying Die was actually fluent in several languages.

As each transaction was completed, Meng Chuan held more and more shares of Company 02, while the number of shares in circulation on the market decreased.

Retail investors were completely unaware of anything unusual; they only noticed that the stock price was slowly rising.

However, Company 02 had a serious debt problem, and this low-level increase did not initially attract much attention.

"Boss, we've been operating with multiple accounts simultaneously and have already taken control of 15% of the circulating shares of Company 02."

George reported from the side.

Each account actually holds a relatively small number of stocks.

While the UK stock market doesn't have daily price limits, a shareholding increase of more than 3% requires disclosure.

Meng Chuan planned to disguise himself as a retail investor and use a deceptive tactic to transfer all the shares held by retail investors to his own hands.

This way, it can be done without anyone noticing, and it won't cause a surge in the stock price of 02.

The total number of shares of Company 02 that are in circulation is nearly 30 billion.

Fifteen percent is only about 4.5 million shares, which cost Meng Chuan nearly £14.2 billion.

Meng Chuan nodded, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes:

"Keep going, don't stop."

George immediately proceeded in an orderly manner, after all, this was a rare and important client.

The entire company highly values ​​Meng Chuan as a valuable client.

However, just as Meng Chuan was making steady progress, George suddenly frowned:

"Boss, Huitong Capital has entered the market. They're competing with us for the shares held by retail investors. They already own 8% of the shares."

Having 8% already requires raising a sign.

Huatong Capital is considered a long-established force in London's financial world.

"What is the background of this Huitong Capital?"

Meng Chuan frowned and asked.

He just wants to make a fortune quietly, which shouldn't arouse the suspicion of capital!

"Huitong Capital is an established capital firm under the Warburg family. Its investment is bound to attract followers, and the share price has already risen to £4."

As George spoke, Yingdie translated truthfully to Meng Chuan.

"Is Ollie so impatient? This isn't like him at all!"

Meng Chuan was deep in thought.

Aoli gave Meng Chuan a very wise impression.

He knew perfectly well that he was borrowing money to acquire shares of Company 02.

What's going on with Ollie?

Playing like that is just ruining the event!

"Never mind that, now! £4, buy 100 million shares! £4.3, buy 200 million shares!"

Huitong Capital's entry was aggressive, and the stock price was instantly driven up.

Retail and institutional investors in the market will certainly be attracted by this sudden surge and will rush to buy.

Meng Chuan needs to speed things up.

Otherwise, you won't even be able to buy it for £4.3.

"Boss, Huitong Capital is also bidding up their prices and competing with us for shares! It's currently 5 pounds per share. Many retail investors are waiting for a higher price, and it will be difficult for us to buy at this price."

The assistant seemed a little anxious.

Meng Chuan's brows furrowed even deeper.

It's not true that you can buy more just by offering a higher price.

When prices are high, individual investors are not in a hurry to buy, even if they have the money.

"How much have we bought? How much of the principal have we invested?"

Meng Chuan asked.

“We’ve only bought 5 million shares, spending £20 billion.”

George said helplessly.

Meng Chuan had previously planned to spend £100 billion to buy stocks.

George, a top-notch trader, only spent 20 billion; how could he be satisfied?

Especially later, because the stock price rose too quickly, Meng Chuan spent a lot of money unnecessarily.

But now the share price has risen to £5 per share.

The rate of increase exceeded everyone's expectations.

“Thirty accounts simultaneously placed orders to buy 1000 million shares at £6 per share. Note that no single account should hold more than 3% of the total shares.”

Meng Chuan didn't want to raise prices little by little anymore.

A big price increase would probably allow us to snag quite a few.

As expected, a large number of accounts simultaneously posted £6 per share.

It absorbed nearly 5000 million shares in an instant.

£3 million was spent in an instant.

However, as Meng Chuan made his move, Huitong Capital surprisingly followed suit.

In addition, other individual investors and institutions also began to buy in.

The price jumped to £6.8 immediately.

"Don't buy it."

Meng Chuan said.

If he continues to buy, Meng Chuan's profits will be very limited.

If the stock price of 02 is too high, Li Ka-shing might abandon the acquisition of 02.

After all, the premium is too high, which would be beyond Li Ka-shing's means.

"Spread a message for me, saying that Li Ka-shing from the mysterious East is planning to acquire 02 Company."

Meng Chuan thought for a moment and then said to George.

"This……"

George was stunned.

He didn't understand why Meng Chuan did this.

Doing so will only cause the stock price of Company 02 to continue to soar.

At the same time, it is unethical to release such false information.

“If you don’t dare to release such information, then I will have no choice but to cooperate with other brokers.”

Meng Chuan looked at George with a faint smile.

Meng Chuan was confident that the agency would never give up such a high-quality client as him.

Although it is clearly stipulated that such behavior is illegal.

But it doesn't violate Chinese law.

Meng Chuan wouldn't care.

Moreover, Meng Chuan absolutely did not believe that these brokers had not done similar things.

These brokers have at least ten thousand ways to release such information without being traced back to themselves.

"Mr. Meng, don't worry, I'll go and ask the boss right away, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
