"..." Cao Mo called Jiaying's cell phone again. He did not immediately tell her the truth of the matter, but first asked them about their coping strategies, "Taihua's current situation is a bit chaotic. How do you plan to deal with it next?"
"The Shanghai Composite Index has fallen below 1,900 points. Although the economy is very pessimistic, the import and export data are not ideal, and it is unclear how long the subprime mortgage crisis will spread, but purely in the domestic stock market, trading is already very good.
It has become sluggish, with no volume for several days. The Shanghai Composite Index may continue to fall, or it may jump sharply, but the possibility of it cutting in half again is extremely low. In the operation of Taihua, we also
We won’t be too conservative. We have made some initial plans, but we mainly carry out corresponding operations according to tomorrow’s time-sharing trend. We are not busy guessing what the intentions of Huamao, Xintaihua and the third parties who entered the market brutally are.
Mainly because there was a sudden change in the board in the last three minutes, and the information it can provide us is too limited," Jiaying said on the phone, "Brother, did you hear any disturbance over there?"
"I just got the news that it is indeed the major shareholder of Taihua. Today I am in contact with the manager of a public fund company. The late trading change is the result of this public fund. We now have several guesses: First, this public fund
It is very likely that Han Shaorong dug a hole for Taihua's major shareholders. The second point is that Taihua's major shareholders have not officially started cooperation with this fund. This fund manager wants to make this change to prove it to Taihua's major shareholders.
As for Taihua's fundamentals, there haven't been any big changes yet," Cao Mo said. "We have to protect the source of information now. Mu Xiang still needs to operate in the next few days.
Arrange according to the established strategy, do not deliberately make adjustments based on this news, and prevent Han Shaorong from noticing abnormalities. Considering that the official entry of this public offering fund will quickly boost Taihua's stock price, you can prepare a copy first.
Don’t be careless about your response plan!”
"Whether the wooden elephant can turn over or not, you have to trust me in this fight." Jiaying said excitedly on the other end of the phone.
Cao Mo opened the special investment account of Tianyue Investment and took a look.
In the past few days, under the operation of Jiaying and the others, one-third of the positions have been absorbed. At this time, a public equity fund was bribed to intervene to disrupt the situation. No matter what Han Shaorong's hidden intentions were, it did not matter whether the Lu family could cope with the next crisis.
, purely for the 200 million funds Tianyue Investment put into the dedicated investment account, it is absolutely beneficial and harmless. There are really too many opportunities to fish in troubled waters.
However, there are still many variables whether they can accomplish their true purpose outside of the game.
In the previous bull market, Muxiang Capital failed to achieve profits. Cao Mo knew that Jiaying was worried about it, so he did not ruin her good mood.
Cao Mo hung up the phone to Jiaying and saw Zhou Han sitting across from the desk with a frown on her face and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Zhou Han frowned and said: "If the fund manager of Xinyihua was arranged by Han Shaorong, and he had no involvement with Taihua before, then there must be someone in the middle to pull the strings..."
"...That's Guo Jian!" Cao Mo just heard that Ensangge said that today's meeting was only attended by Ensange, Guo Jian and Lu Yan; and Lu Yan directly intervened in this matter after returning home, Cao Mo knew
Zhou Han also speculated that Guo Jian might have been bribed by Han Shaorong.
And once they guessed this, it was clear what Han Shaorong wanted to do next.
Zhou Han nodded and said: "Thanks to you making a quick decision and turning around and coming to Kanem to find Sturgeon's cooperation. Only then could Nsange become our eyeliner and be able to discover this in time. Otherwise, Taihua's today
There was something unusual in the late trading, even if your sister can guess a certain truth, the situation cannot be as clear as this."
"Why, you think I'm extremely wise now, why didn't you still be reluctant to see me before I went abroad?" Cao Mo leaned back on the chair, stretched out, and soothed his aching waist, but he couldn't help but want to
He yawned, but was slapped on the shoulder by Starlie who was standing aside, and his yawn was interrupted.
Come to think of it, they had a barbecue last night, chatted for a while and then went back to the room to rest. It was already past eight o'clock in the morning, and he shouldn't look like he was sleep deprived.
Cao Mo immediately sat up straightly.
Zhou Han glanced at Cao Mo with his beautiful eyes, stood up and said, "You guys should rest for a while. Seeing that you are holding back yawns, you have worked really hard. Don't forget that there are still important things to do today."

…………
Thousands of miles away in Xinhai, a medium-sized yacht was slowly sailing out of the Yangtze River Estuary.
The cool autumn wind blew, and Lu Yan, who was sitting on the deck with a wine glass in his hand, felt very comfortable.
Although Xinhai is close to the sea, the waters of the neighboring East China Sea are turbid.
Except for winter, the weather in early spring is humid and cold and there are many typhoons in summer, so late autumn is the best time to go to sea.
Therefore, there are many wealthy people in Xinhai, but not many people enjoy yachting.
When Lu Yan returned to China, Xinhai was planning to build a yacht city and provide a marina for yachts. He followed the trend and spent more than 5 million yuan to buy a medium-sized yacht for fun, but he only went to sea a handful of times.
This time, in order to entertain Shi Mingde, he specially pulled out this yacht that had not been used for a long time.
Guo Jian originally thought about spending money to find a few girls to accompany Shi Mingde on the Oriental Charm, but Lu Yan felt that the arrangement was not enough, so he personally contacted a model agent and arranged for four young models to go on a yacht.
companion.
Although it is no longer the season for wearing bikinis, four
The supermodels are all tall and tall, with perky breasts and buttocks. They are dressed with exquisite makeup and charming faces. They are wearing sexy and elegant dresses. They have already received tips from Lu Yan, and they are surrounded by people.
Open and welcoming, accompanied by fine wine and delicious food, it was a real pleasure.
Although this yacht is not luxurious and does not qualify as a superyacht, it does have spacious luxury guest rooms, a living room, and some entertainment facilities, which is very suitable for a small-scale "uncovered" dance party.
"Master Yan, you should enjoy it. This is the life we should enjoy! We can do more activities like this in the future!"
Shi Mingde, who has made a name for himself in this industry at the age of thirty-three, can also be said to be a young talent in the financial world. He did not hesitate to sit in front of Lu Yan, holding a model with big breasts and fat hips in his arms.
Inside, they were chatting and laughing and lamenting Lu Yan's arrangement.
Even though Shi Mingde joined the fund company, he enjoyed a life of intoxication and wealth. He also had a lot of fun every night in Dongfang Meili. He usually had many opportunities to make friends with luxurious people, but he rarely had the opportunity to see the pomp and circumstance of the super rich.
In Xinhai, different levels and circles are still very clear; Shi Mingde also secretly feels that he is a little bit behind the level.
The Lu family found Shi Mingde because they wanted to use the funds he managed to buy some Taihua stocks to support the stock price of Taihua. And Shi Mingde wanted to live close to the big tree of the Lu family, or have a closer relationship with the Lu family.
Cooperate to take your career to the next level?
With the full cooperation of the controlling shareholder, the fund he manages in Xinyihua can buy up to 200 million in a single stock. Shi Mingde does not find it difficult to support Taihua's stock price.
Shi Mingde patted the plump buttocks of the girl in his arms and asked her to play on the deck. He said to Lu Yan and Guo Jian without any concern:
"Although it is difficult to judge when the situation will improve, and I am not pretending to be a professional in front of Mr. Yan, it is a fact that investors, institutions, and investors of all sizes are very low in transaction willingness. Not only do our public funds have minimum position limits
, some big investors I know either lock up their positions or build some bottom positions. In this case, I am sure that as long as Taihua does not make big negative news, no matter how much financial resources other people have,
It is very difficult to drive down Taihua's stock price, which has already fallen by two-thirds from its high point. Even if you try hard to smash the market, how much panic can it bring out under today's trading volume?
A-shares have been falling for almost a year, and the resistance of stock investors is stronger than imagined. The more critical point is that there is no short-selling mechanism in China. If they want to smash the market, they have no place to borrow securities, so they can only attract funds themselves.
, and the fund-raising itself will drive up the stock price, which means that no matter how much strength they have, they will not be able to exert all their strength. I am also very happy to make friends like Mr. Yan and Manager Guo. Don’t worry about what happens next.
Leave it all to me. There is one more thing. Of course Mr. Yan won’t care about this small amount of money, but if Manager Guo has three to five million to spare, he can also come and drink soup. I guarantee that your soup will be absolutely delicious!
"
"This is my job. Besides, where do I have three to five million in spare money? You and I are no match for Mr. Shi..." Guo Jian said with a smile.
It's not that Guo Jian didn't want to touch the oil, but he knew that the oil was not easy to touch.
Shi Mingde himself will probably use some funds to play rat positions in private outside of the New Yihua Fund. And when Han Shaorong makes arrangements, the Shi Mingde case will inevitably involve the stock transaction of Taihua.
Xinyihua Fund Company, even the Securities Regulatory Commission, and the Economic Investigation Department are likely to thoroughly investigate all insider trading activities involving Taihua's rat warehouse. How could he be so stupid as to put a rope around his neck at this time?
Of course, it is also true that Guo Jian did not have much money in his hands.
Thinking of this, he felt a sense of pleasure in betraying the Lu family, but at this time he couldn't make any move in front of Lu Yan.
Shi Mingde thought Guo Jian was being modest, but in order to prevent Shi Mingde, who was already a little drunk, from getting entangled in this issue, Guo Jian lent Nsange the opportunity to translate and divert Shi Mingde's attention.
"Are these girls pretty good?"
Lu Yan was completely relieved at this time, thinking that he had successfully completed the task assigned to him by his father and brother-in-law. He happily chatted about topics that everyone was interested in, and turned his attention back to the four accompanying models.
Lu Yan has very little contact with the domestic securities investment industry. Although he has known Shi Mingde for a very short time, including this time, he has only met three times. The other two times were on occasions like Oriental Charming, where everyone hugged him and hugged him.
He didn't have the chance to say a few words, but Shi Mingde's behavior today convinced him that Shi Mingde was reliable.
In order to earn their commission, Shi Mingde clearly laid out his details in front of them without any concealment. Naturally, Lu Yan would not suspect that he would conspire with others to harm the Lu family.
And now that Taihua has decided from top to bottom that Cao Mo and Tianyue Investment are their enemies, how could they have thought that Guo Jian, who had the deepest grudge against Cao Mo, had already been secretly bribed?
Lu Yan was also in a good mood at this moment. The biggest cloud in his heart could be said to have been swept away, and he suddenly felt like the sun was shining.
Because Tianyue Investment has attracted funds in the past few days, Taihua's market value still fluctuates around 37.8 billion, and has not been driven down much by the market.
Of Taihua’s considerable market value, half of the shares are held by the Lu family through New Taihua Investment.
Whether it is to stabilize the stock price, the Lu family has repeatedly promised not to reduce its holdings, or it has actually been mortgaged, so half of the shares have been directly locked.
In addition, it is impossible for Taihua's management and other major shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares to trade in the public market casually.
The market reduced its holdings of Taihua stocks, which almost locked up more than 800 million stocks with a market value.
After deducting the stocks that the Lu family secretly controls through dispersed accounts, Taihua's truly outstanding shares currently have a market value of less than 900 million.
There are a large number of retail investors with serious losses in this 900 million market capitalization. Many of them have a common characteristic, which is that when they suffer serious losses, they will lie down and pretend to be dead, and they will cling to Taihua stock and wait for the unreachable reversal.
To recover the capital, it is difficult to be triggered by the so-called liquidation action, which is actually equivalent to locking in a part of the stock.
This is also the main reason why trading volume continues to hit new lows and why Shi Mingde was able to support the daily limit in late trading with only more than 5 million yuan in capital. The 10% increase was far from enough for investors who were trapped in it to relieve themselves.
In this case, Shi Mingde agreed to use the fund he managed under Xinyihua to buy the full 100 million yuan as promised. Not only was Lu Yan not afraid that Taihua's stock price would be penetrated, he even believed that if they cooperated with more good news, the stock price would be higher.
Pull it back to a high level to make more room for Taihua's subsequent capital operations...

Cao Mo did not stay in Africa for too long this time. Apart from some trivial matters, he mainly sorted out and rectified the key personnel of Tubman Security Consulting Company.
Taking into account the particularity and complexity of taking root and developing in Africa, even though Stili is nominally fully responsible for Tubman Security Consulting Company, Cao Mo personally only holds a small amount of equity in Cornero Security Company, but Cao Mo
He has never neglected the control of these two companies, and even Taya, Big and Little Kussi, Du Ganjie and others will take turns to be responsible for security work in the country.
Cao Mo did this mainly to maintain close contact with the core figures of these two companies; almost all of his bodyguards in Africa or at home were elites who took turns.
However, the scale of development of Tubman Security Consulting Company and Cornero Security Company is getting larger and larger. On the one hand, it is inevitable that there will be a mixed bag of good and bad, and on the other hand, Cao Mo can no longer cover everything through the past methods.
For some people, it is not that they have been bribed by outsiders, or that they have harmed the company's core interests in other ways, but more that their own status has changed, and after coming out of the simple environment in the past, they have been exposed to more complex affairs and material and spiritual problems.
Temptation, mentality will undergo subtle changes; divisions and inevitable conflicts and breakthroughs will also occur within the team.
After straightening out the internal relationship between the two companies, Cao Mo no longer had to worry about whether someone in Africa was secretly watching him or whether there were any traps waiting for him to fall into.
In the final analysis, whether it is strategy or conspiracy, it all needs to be based on corresponding strength.
This time he also had enough strength to easily persuade Sturgeon to turn around and cooperate with them, and then he was able to draw chestnuts from the fire and seize the fat that Han Shaorong was eyeing.
At the same time, due to his absolute strength, Cao Mo was sure to inflict heavy damage on the Lu family this time, but even if he succeeded in taking the piece of fat out of Han Shaorong's mouth, he did not expect to really hit Han Shaorong this time.
This time when I returned to China and transferred from Singapore to fly to Xinhai, it was six o'clock in the morning.
Cao Mo didn't want Cheng Xi to get up from the warm bed too early, but when he arrived at the airport, he still saw Cheng Xi yawning non-stop, standing in the lobby and looking up.
"You only slept for a few hours at night, and you came to the airport?" Cao Mo grabbed Cheng Xi's little hand that was covering her mouth, looked at her and couldn't help but yawn, and asked with a smile.
"After talking to you on the phone last night, I went to bed, thinking that six or seven hours of sleep would be enough, but I couldn't sleep until two o'clock." Cheng Xi said, "You said you had everything today.
Due to work arrangements, if I didn't come to the airport, wouldn't I have to wait until night to see you? Now that I see you, I can go home and take a nap!"
"I made an appointment with Shen Ji and Chen Chang's boss, Ge Jun, to have breakfast together. Please come with me," Cao Mo said, grabbing Cheng Xi's little hand.
He has been back in Africa for less than a month this time, but the situation has changed more dramatically in this month than in the past three to five years.
In less than two months, international crude oil futures have fallen by less than half from their highest point, falling from a maximum of US$150 per barrel to less than US$70 per barrel.
Almost all commodity indexes such as iron ore, copper concentrate, palm oil, and cocoa powder all experienced sharp declines to varying degrees.
The global shipping index plummeted to one-third of its peak, but the downward trend has not stopped. This has also led to the global shipbuilding industry being the first to fall into a crisis.
Shipowners are willing to give up deposits and tear up contracts one after another. A large number of new ships cannot leave the factory, which has put a number of shipyards into a crisis of operational difficulties.
Kanem's finished cement has plummeted by half in two months and has now fallen to US$120 per ton, forcing a number of cement plants to suspend operations before the decline stopped.
Even though everyone knows that the economic crisis is sweeping across and the depreciation of currencies such as the US dollar will strongly support the price of gold, the impact of the money shortage cannot be underestimated. In late September, the international gold price fell below US$700 per ounce.
Tianyue Industrial's sales of motorcycles and pickup trucks, which are developing markets in West Africa, also fell sharply on a monthly basis.
These are the cold currents that Cao Mo and the management of other Tianyue companies can directly feel.
Other industries are also showing signs of disarray. Cao Mo will be particularly busy when he comes back this time. Shen Ji, Ge Jun, and Qian Wenhan can't wait for him to take a breath, and have made appointments for him to get off the plane in Xinhai.
