Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Chapter 427 Public Opinion War

Meng Chuan underestimated the determination of the three major capital groups. They were open to all comers and would accept any loan from anyone willing to lend.

Meng Chuan also bought and lent out shares. In just one morning, by the time the market closed, Meng Chuan had lent out more than 3 billion shares of Liu's Group.

At 40 yuan per share, that's already over 100 billion yuan spent.

However, when it was halftime, all three major capital giants were preparing to "announce it to the world".

An announcement suddenly went viral online.

That was the first announcement released by Shang'an Real Estate.

It's an announcement regarding the merger of Shang'an Real Estate and Liu's Group. The main points are roughly as follows:

After careful consideration and decision-making, Shang'an Real Estate and Liu's Group, based on strategic development needs and under the leadership of the same actual controller, decided to merge.

The original Shang'an Real Estate and Liu's Group's real estate businesses will be integrated and operated in a unified manner.

This includes the merger process and arrangements, business takeover and development plans, etc.

Most importantly, Shang'an Real Estate emphasized that the more than 100 billion yuan in its accounts had also been transferred to the Liu Group.

This is a real shot in the arm!

With the release of Shang'an Real Estate's announcement.

The Liu Group's announcement followed shortly after.

The first step is to confirm that the merger is real.

This also addresses previous online rumors about the Liu Group's bankruptcy and restructuring.

The Liu Group has ample funds and is not undergoing bankruptcy reorganization, but rather is discussing a merger with Shang'an Real Estate.

The announcement of the merger between Liu's Group and Shang'an Real Estate was just released before the stock market opened in the afternoon.

When the market opened in the afternoon, the Liu Group's stock price soared.

Exclamations of surprise echoed throughout the securities trading hall.

Some who had just sold their Liu Group shares were so angry they were slapping their thighs in frustration.

"I just sold all of Liu's stocks this morning!"

"Quick! Buy regardless of cost! Now!"

"Two companies with market capitalizations in the hundreds of billions have merged. How could this happen so suddenly?"

Some are happy and some are sad!

At that moment, Meng Chuan was sitting on the fishing platform, leisurely fishing.

With this announcement made public, Meng Chuan was no longer needed to do anything else.

The funds of the three major capital groups are already tied up.

Because when they short sell, they agree on a selling price and a range of expected trading time.

You cannot force a liquidation if the time limit has not been reached or the agreed price has not been met.

Unless their account guarantee amount is insufficient.

This time, in order to take over the Liu Group in one fell swoop, the three major capital groups have prepared ample funds.

Even if the three major capitalists have three heads and six arms, they will still suffer greatly, if not die.

The stock price of Liu's Group is now locked at its daily limit.

It's predictable that the stock will hit its daily limit for the next few days.

All the three major capital firms can do now is post on social media to question the authenticity of the merger!

However, all such doubts were put to rest after Shen Yue published the "Company Merger Application".

In the Goldman Sachs building, Thomson stared bloodshot at the candlestick chart of the Liu Group, which was locked at the daily limit up.

"Impossible! How could they merge? Liu's Group and Shang'an Real Estate were making headlines not long ago."

It was revealed that Shang'an Real Estate, together with the Chen family of Shanghai, was trying to prevent the Liu Group from going public through a backdoor listing.

Although the Liu Group eventually denied the rumors, Chen Zhendong, one of the heirs of the Chen family, was sentenced to three years in prison as a result.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Shang'an Real Estate and the Liu Group definitely have a grudge against each other.

Debunking the rumors is nothing more than an exchange of interests!

Now, Shang'an Real Estate has unexpectedly merged with Liu's Group, something none of them had anticipated.

"Look at the announcement released by An Real Estate: Under the leadership of the same actual controller, a merger has been decided upon. Who is this actual controller?"

Morgan's Stephen also looked terribly grim:

"According to Tianyancha, besides Liu Fu, Liu Qian, and Liu Dong from the Liu family, the only other shareholder of the Liu Group is Meng Chuan. And the shareholders of Shang'an Real Estate are only Shen Yue and Mengying Capital. Where does the actual controller come from?"

David of Castle Investment slammed his fist on the table and stood up:

"Isn't it obvious? This is clearly the national team getting involved! They're violating the principles of the free market!"

David, still furious, continued:

“We immediately rallied all foreign capital to crush the Liu Group.”

David was so angry because his castle investment had suffered two major losses.

I thought I could get some interest back this time.

Unexpectedly, the duck that was almost in my hands is about to fly away again.

Upon hearing David's words, both Thomson and Stephen rolled their eyes at him speechlessly.

It's only because David's status is higher than theirs; if it were anyone else, they would have been unable to resist criticizing him.

"What? Did I say something wrong? As long as all of our foreign capital works together, we can even take down the national team."

David said, somewhat angrily.

"Let's not even talk about whether all foreign capital will listen to us. Even if they do, neither Shang'an Real Estate nor Liu's Group has a single foreign investor listed as a shareholder."

Thomson said, barely suppressing his anger.

They all knew David was just there to gain prestige.

But I never expected him to be so foolish.

"However, regardless of whether it's the national team or not, we can no longer generate public opinion in their country, so we can only turn our attention to the international arena."

Morgan's Stephen said in a deep voice:

“We all contacted our respective chairmen and asked them to spread rumors that the national team had violated the rules, causing panic among all foreign investors. If this causes the entire Chinese stock market to fall, it could trigger a chain reaction, causing the Liu Group's stock price to drop!”

Thomson nodded, his eyes filled with malice:

“Then let’s do it this way. I will continue to contact some economists in their own countries and continue to talk down the stock market of the Liu Group.”

Although continuing to predict the downfall of the Liu Group's stock market has little effect.

But Thomson still didn't want to give up easily.

After all, the head of the Goman family had given him a death order.

If he fails to take over the Liu Group this time, his position as president of Goldman Sachs Asia will be in jeopardy.

The following morning, domestic social media platforms were flooded with news about the soaring stock price of Liu's company.

Many financial programs are also discussing the Liu Group.

Some people are watching the Liu Group's stock price, while others are not optimistic.

The most heated comment came from a prominent financial blogger, "Li Jiange":

"Although the Liu Group inherited hundreds of billions of yuan in capital from Shang'an Real Estate, it also inherited hundreds of billions of yuan in debt. The fact that the Liu Group's stock price could hit the daily limit is a typical example of capital manipulation, designed to fleece retail investors."

As soon as Li Jiange's opinion was put forward, the live chat exploded:

"I told you there was something fishy going on!"

"I support a thorough investigation! Let's restore justice to the market!"

"It is very likely that the Liu Group colluded with foreign capital to deliberately suppress the stock price."

"That's right, now they're releasing merger news to drive up the stock price, their goal is just to rip off ordinary people like us!"
