"Congratulations to the Kawamoto Expressway!"

At 9 o'clock in the morning, in the conference room, Financial Director Yukihei Nishikawa opened the champagne. With a "bang" sound, as the cork was pulled out, the champagne column spurted out and sprinkled on the blanket in the conference room. At this time, there was no one else

Pay attention to these details. The conference room is filled with all kinds of exquisite snacks and pastries. The company atmosphere that used to be serious is now rarely filled with joy.

Kotaro showed a heart-warming smile, stood up, and hugged the company executives around him one by one, hugging each other hard. At this moment, Kotaro showed a sincere smile. His moment finally arrived. He became the successor of the Kawamoto Group

One thing will become a foregone conclusion.

Finally, I can feel proud.

When the succession race was finalized, I was sent to the "Expressway Company" where it was least likely to turn around. Everyone in the family thought that I, Kotaro, would never come back, and they were all waiting to see their own joke. The group company's

A group of capable generals gradually alienated themselves because of the fact that they were "exiled". No one thought that he, Kotaro, could successfully take over.

And today, he, Kotaro, came back to fight again.

At 9:17, the Tokyo Stock Exchange has opened for a full 17 minutes. In just 17 minutes, Kawamoto Expressway's stock price has increased by an astonishing 21%. When Nomura Securities opened at 9 o'clock in the morning, it also released a research report,

Announced that Kawamoto Expressway has completely established its leading position in the industry, raised the target price by 80%, and assigned a "buy" rating!

On the screen in the conference room, the white line of the real-time stock price chart was like a dancing silver snake, still moving upwards. People beside the screen were holding champagne glasses, drinking and talking, laughing.

However, in a harmonious atmosphere, Imanishi, who was invited to sit aside, looked a little coldly and was alone. Several lawyers under Imanishi next to him did not have many good expressions on their faces. Among a group of people, they looked extremely

Unconventional.

Kotaro seemed to have noticed something amiss in his old lawyer friend. He walked over and chuckled softly:

"Lawyer Imanishi, why don't you celebrate together? Just sit here?"

"Koutarou, those articles of yours go too far." Imanishi responded unceremoniously, "You know what? By doing this, you are leaving more excuses for the other party and attracting more complaints. Just rely on those magazines

For the content published on the Internet, the court will judge you for reputation infringement. It is not unfair at all!"

Kotaro shook the wine glass, looked at the champagne in the glass, and said with some pride: "What are you afraid of? Other reporters can write reports and criticize Kawamoto Expressway. Can't Kawamoto Expressway invite reporters and scold them back? Besides, to this extent.

The attack on Kawamoto Expressway is nothing. You have never seen those fabricated reports attacking Kawamoto Expressway. That is the real reputation infringement."

Imanishi didn't respond and just sat aside indifferently.

Then, Kotaro patted Imanishi on the shoulder and said, "My old friend, just relax your tense nerves and enjoy the feeling of victory."

Kotaro placed the champagne glass in front of Imanishi, but seeing that he had no intention of moving, he could only smile and drink the glass alone, finishing it in one gulp.

"Huh? The increase has dropped back to 16%."

Someone stared at the electronic screen and made a curious sound.

Although the voice was small, it seemed to catch everyone's attention in an instant. When everyone looked back, the stock price chart that was still jumping in a straight line suddenly turned into a mountain shape. And on the bidding order on the right,

Some people are continuing to sell in units of 300,000 lots, forming a wave of selling pressure.

"What's going on?" an employee asked curiously.

"Normal." Kotaro smiled, "After all, this announcement is a financing and share expansion plan. The newly issued shares will dilute the shares of the original holders. So it is normal for some people to want to sell. However, in general, this

This is good news. Because with this financing, we have enough cash to buy out the second-ranked highway company. With such a strong cash reserve, this is unquestionably good news."

"Let these short-sighted people sell their shares in Kawamoto Expressway. We don't need such shareholders!" Kotaro laughed loudly.

"The chairman is still wise!" an employee immediately flattered him.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a huge sell order of 6 million lots suddenly appeared on the call auction list on the screen, as if there was a hand, instantly pulling the white line of the stock price into an almost vertical line segment.

Kawamoto Expressway’s increase fell back to 9%!

Seeing the almost vertically falling line segment, Kotaro's eyes couldn't help but slightly dilate.

But as soon as the huge sell order of 6 million lots appeared, it was eaten up by a swarm of buy orders with a "pick up" mentality.

But at the moment when the sell order was taken, another larger sell order of 9 million lots appeared in an instant!

It was as if an iron cone penetrated the stock price line chart directly.

Kawamoto Expressway rose only 0.1%.

The time now is 9:25, only 8 minutes have passed since 9:17 when Kawamoto Expressway's stock price climbed 21%.

At this time, the employees outside the hall also noticed the abnormality in the stock price. They couldn't help but stop eating their snacks and began to talk in low voices.

"What...what's going on?"

"Why sell orders keep increasing"

“Who is selling Kawamoto Expressway’s stock in a big way?”

"And it's still such a huge sell-off. Are they regardless of the cost?"

At this moment, in the second level of the sell order, a super sell order of up to 15 million lots suddenly appeared. It was like dark clouds covering the sky and the sun, as if the trading system was stuck at this moment.

After discovering that there was such a huge selling quantity on the second level of the sell order, the buy order immediately retreated continuously.

The stock price once again dived in a straight line as if it was broken.

Kawamoto Expressway stock price fell -1.3%!

Financial Director Yukihei Nishikawa frowned, "Chairman, let me see what's going on. The stock market is erratic and fluctuating. The current price of the stock cannot be determined accurately. Let me take a look at Kawamoto Expressway's stock option products. Only option products can truly reflect those

The attitude of large institutions.”

"Yes." Kotaro nodded, his face becoming a little gloomy.

Nishikawa took his mobile phone and clicked on Kawamoto Expressway's stock options buying and selling interface, and browsed it carefully. However, the moment he clicked on it, his expression changed, as if he didn't believe what he was seeing.

Same. After Nishikawa's finger slid stiffly across the screen.

With a "click!", the phone fell directly to the ground.

"What's wrong!" Kotaro noticed something was wrong with Saikawa. His financial director was a subordinate with an extremely calm personality. Even when the company was on the verge of losing money, Saikawa never showed such an expression.

Nishikawa's neck was a little stiff. He turned around and said with a trembling voice: "Bank... securities, the short-selling Kawamoto Expressway options they issued, all... were robbed just now."

"What's the meaning?!"

Nishikawa shivered and picked up his phone from the ground. He slid the screen back and forth and kept confirming, "Just now, just now!! Mizuho Industrial Bank issued a total of 25 models at 9:20 in one go.

Shorting Kawamoto Expressway's option products! This is definitely wrong. These option products are definitely not for retail investors. As soon as they are issued, the volume of street products reaches 100%. They are definitely issued behind closed doors to institutions."

"Kotaro! Someone is shorting the Kawamoto Expressway on a large scale!!!" Nishikawa raised his head and said in a panic.

"Aren't you a fool for shorting the Kawamoto Expressway?!" Kotaro said angrily, "Nishikawa, you can find out who is shorting on a large scale."

"I'll ask my friends at the securities company." Nishikawa took a breath and immediately took out the phone. Nishikawa is also responsible for the strategic investment of Kawamoto Expressway, and he is also someone who has experienced ups and downs in the stock market. However, this time, in a short period of time,

Being short on the speed and scale of the Kawamoto Expressway, even Nishikawa, which had experienced strong winds and waves, panicked.

The next second.

"Ding ding ding, ding ding ding." In the office lobby of the Kawamoto Expressway headquarters, many phones rang in unison. Like a supernatural story, someone instantly dialed the numbers of all employees in the Kawamoto Expressway. The ringtones of these phones were mixed together.

Instantly intertwined and amplified into an extremely harsh noise.

The employees in the office hall were stunned.

They have never seen such a scene.

"Is...is the phone broken?"

It took about twenty seconds before someone responded, "Idiot, go answer the phone quickly!" Dozens of grassroots employees suddenly woke up from a dream, immediately put down the snacks in their hands, ran up, and answered the phone.

"This is the Kawamoto Expressway. Excuse me..."

"Fuji TV?"

"Wait...this is TV Asahi you're talking about?"

"Reporter from Tokyo Metropolitan TV? Hello."

"This is a reporter from Toyo TV. Hello, hello."

"Hello. Is there any problem?"

"We will reply later."

"A lawsuit? What lawsuit?"

Dozens of employees began to answer the phone busily.

At this moment, an almost hoarse shout came from the end of the corridor, "Chairman!!!!!" It was the legal director Fujiki running towards the conference room with a breathless expression.

"What's going on!!!" Kotaro was completely confused. He didn't know what happened to the company. First, the stock price turned from rising to falling, and then someone was shorting the Kawamoto Expressway on a large scale in the option market. And just now so many of the company's

The phone rang almost at the same time.

"Someone...someone." Fujiki stood at the door of the conference room and said out of breath, "Just now, someone announced that they have filed a class action lawsuit against us! It's Jiang Teng Law Firm. It's the plaintiff's lawyer in the luxury car accident case.

.His name is Kitahara Giichi!”

"Kitahara Yiichi?" Kotaro frowned and recited the name silently. Hearing the words "group action", he felt an extremely uneasy feeling in his heart. He raised his head and asked anxiously: "What does class action mean? Yes.

How many people are suing?”

"The exact number of people is not clear yet. But...but, it is said that if all of them join the prosecution, it can reach 70,000 people!!!" Fujiki said with some despair.

70,000 people.

This number echoed in the conference room of Kawamoto Expressway.

Everyone present stopped what they were doing when they heard this number.

However, the white line of the stock price chart on the screen continued to drop.
