Cao Qiguang felt... a little embarrassed to wipe his face.
But...it seems there is no other good way.
What on earth should I do?
After hearing what Mr. Yang said, Cao Qiguang was troubled all afternoon. Until he sent Mr. Yang away, Cao Qiguang still hadn't figured out how to get back together with Su Yang without losing dignity.
It would be great if Su Yang could come over to apologize and admit his mistake. I would definitely forgive him, hey...
After seeing Mr. Yang off, Cao Qiguang sighed and took out his mobile phone to see if he had missed any news today.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t see the result, I was shocked when I saw it.
There are many missed calls and unread WeChat messages on his mobile phone.
Most of these phone calls and WeChat messages were sent by his confidant Director Wang.
The phone recognized Cao Qiguang's face, automatically unlocked, and a prompt message appeared.
The top ones are two WeChat messages,
[Mr. Cao! It’s urgent! Call me back when you’re done!]
Cao Qiguang continued to look down a little unconcernedly,
[After our company released its quarterly financial report today, I found out that someone in Hong Kong had borrowed our stocks on a large scale and seemed to want to go short.]
Cao Qiguang was so shocked that he didn't bother to look at other information and quickly called Director Wang.
When the call was connected, Director Wang's voice was a little anxious. He said, "Mr. Cao, have you seen the message I sent?"
Cao Qiguang said seriously, "I saw it. Tell me about the situation. What is going on?"
Director Wang didn't say anything, but asked first, "Mr. Cao, was it you who stamped the quarterly financial report?"
Cao Qiguang asked in confusion, "What's the seal? I haven't stamped it yet!"
Director Wang was not surprised, as if he had guessed that it was not Cao Qiguang who had done it, but directly told the whole story. From the morning when the company inexplicably issued a financial report, to later he started to inquire about the trends in Hong Kong City, and found that
Someone has borrowed a large amount of company shares in the past few days, and I told them all.
Cao Qiguang became more and more frightened as he listened.
After listening to everything, Cao Qiguang didn't speak for a long time, probably because everything was too shocking.
After a while, he said, "I'll get in the car first. Just wait. I'll call you back later."
After speaking, Cao Qiguang hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Qiguang's eyes were full of fire. His chest was rising and falling violently, and he was breathing heavily, venting his inner anger and shock!
After more than ten seconds, Cao Qiguang adjusted his mentality, then took out his mobile phone and quickly searched the Internet for news on Xinli Education's quarterly report: He didn't trust anyone on such a major matter. He even hoped that Director Wang would betray him.
, lied to him.
But there are no miracles in the world, and Director Wang did not lie to him. Cao Qiguang soon saw the company's quarterly financial report online.
This financial report has already spread after a day of fermentation, and everyone on the Internet is praising Xinli Education. Even the leeks in Xinli Education’s post bar and stock bar are saying good things about Xinli Education.
If Cao Qiguang hadn't known that this was not a good thing, he would have thought it was a troll hired by Xinli Education!
He checked the stock price of Xinli Education again. In one day, Xinli Education rose by 13%.
Cao Qiguang has no intention of investigating what happened to all this. He knows that what he needs now is to save everything as much as possible! The only way to solve the problem after it happens is to solve it, and investigation cannot solve the problem.
What's more... he had already guessed in his mind who had done this.
Thinking like this, he suppressed the fire and viciousness in his eyes, waved the driver over, got in the car, then closed his eyes and started thinking about countermeasures...
...
At this time, Su Yang was playing chess with Zhao Licheng at home.
The two of them did not play the high-definition Go game, nor the classic chess, but... backgammon.
Maybe both of them had very high IQs, or maybe Zhao Licheng was deliberately giving way to Su Yang. Anyway, the two of them had played half the chessboard and still couldn't decide the winner. It was hard to tell the difference between them.
Su Yang held the black piece in his hand and landed it on the chessboard. Then he looked at the chessboard and said, "Cao Qiguang... seems to be very calm."
Zhao Licheng did not belittle Cao Qiguang out of hatred, "He is a talent. He is no worse than me."
As he said this, he dropped a son.
Su Yang played with the chess pieces in his hands and asked, "Have all the plans been arranged?"
Zhao Licheng said, "Everything has been arranged. We can make moves one by one according to Cao Qiguang's response. Especially with Lady Janet's intelligence, we can perfectly block every point of him."
Su Yang smiled and sighed, "So sometimes, absolute power can really change everything... There is no need to explain the life of cheating."
...
That night, Cao Qiguang rushed back to the Magic City and called all his confidants to his home to discuss how to handle the matter.
The confidants did not understand Cao Qiguang's nervousness at first. But they panicked when they heard that someone already knew about the financial fraud.
In the domestic stock market, financial fraud is actually not very serious.
For example, Fenghua Hi-Tech was fined RMB 600,000 for inflating profits by RMB 100 million.
For example, Kangdexin committed financial fraud of RMB 11.9 billion and was fined RMB 600,000.
For example, Kangmei Pharmaceuticals committed financial fraud of more than 30 billion yuan, but was only fined 600,000 yuan...
etc.
But in other capital markets, it is different. For example, the U.S. stock market imposes very strict penalties on this kind of fraud. Recently, a stock that has been cutting American leeks is facing delisting because of financial fraud of 2.2 billion, and even a price of up to 70 billion.
compensation.
Hong Kong stocks also have very strict penalties for counterfeiting. Although they may not be as high as this, they are still very scary.
So in this situation, a few confidants used their brains to make plans.
Some people say, "If you can't solve the problem, just solve it for those who know the problem."
Some said, "Put it to temporary workers."
Anyway, these are the methods commonly used in China.
Cao Qiguang is also a ruthless person. After listening to everyone's opinions, he felt that none of them were to his liking.
Because he knew that Su Yang should not be underestimated and could not be dealt with by these simple methods.
So after thinking for a long time, he decided... to fly to Hong Kong City early tomorrow morning and hold a press conference in person to take the initiative to expose this matter.
It is said that during the company's internal accounting, several items were accidentally missed, resulting in serious deviations in the actual data.
For this reason, the two financial directors of Xinli Education will resign, and he will also step down from the position of chairman of the company.
Moreover, Xinli Education will also publish the clearly calculated data within a week.
In the end, Cao Qiguang will kneel down and apologize to all shareholders and investors in person, and obtain their forgiveness.
It has to be said that Cao Qiguang's preemptive move was very precise: they themselves disclosed that there was a problem with the company's financial report, which made the concept of the whole thing completely different. The latter was a fraud, but the former was just a problem with the company's processes and data.
Although this will still lead to humiliation and loss of power, it is a perfect way to solve the matter. And it will be done once and for all. You will no longer be coerced and threatened by Su Yang.
After the meeting, Cao Qiguang looked at the time and saw that it was already 1 a.m.. He wanted to contact the people at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to report in advance, but the other party was already asleep.
There was no other way, Cao Qiguang could only put this matter aside for the time being, start looking for connections, and book a flight to Hong Kong City tomorrow morning.
After relying on countless people and finding connections, Cao Qiguang managed it all in the middle of the night while apologizing and laughing. This made him finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At 8 o'clock the next day, Cao Qiguang got on the plane to Hong Kong City. Before boarding the plane, Cao Qiguang also ordered his confidants to contact the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and report data problems in advance.
Their reaction was nothing short of unpleasant.
But... they are fast, Su Yang is faster.
At 9:30, Hong Kong stocks opened.
Xinli Education's stock price plummeted, and numerous selling began to severely suppress Xinli Education's stock price.
The investors who only knew yesterday's information were confused and didn't know what happened.
Immediately afterwards, a shocking piece of news came out. Several major newspapers and major news media in Hong Kong City all released the news that Xinli Education had falsified its financial reports.
The news has clearly exposed the complete comparison of Xinli Education's financial report fraud, from industrial chain data to evidence, from screenshots to photos, everything is available. The detailed information is comparable to Muddy Waters, a professional short seller in the United States.
As soon as this 18-page short-selling report was released, Xinli Education's stock price immediately collapsed and plummeted.
Xinli Education was in chaos at this time. No one expected that the enemy would move so quickly. They were still contacting the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on how to handle this matter! They were completely unprepared for the other party to take action first!
Director Wang wanted to start the company's remaining cash to buy back shares to boost investor confidence, but Cao Qiguang was on the plane at the moment and could not authorize it.
There is no price limit for Hong Kong stocks, so Xinli Education plunged 30% in just two hours, and it continued to fall. It even formed a very terrifying infinite decline: there was no transaction, and it kept falling.
This shows that no one is taking orders for Xinli Education’s stocks now, and they are all selling in a panic.
Cao Qiguang was high in the air at this time, still taking deep breaths and mentally building himself up, hoping that he would not be so face-conscious during the press conference.
As soon as he got off the plane and connected to the airport wifi, he realized... everything had changed.
At that moment, Cao Qiguang was in a trance.
He was a little doubtful. Did he travel through time? Or... the plane flew for several days?
I just got on a plane, why did my company's stock collapse?
Cao Qiguang has certain abilities. He knew that it was too late to hold a press conference, so he quickly contacted the Magic City and asked Director Wang and others to directly issue an announcement to explain the reasons. He also explained that they had already told the Hong Kong Exchange that there was a problem with their data.
Malicious fraud.
In addition, startup companies set aside funds to start buying back shares, raising stock prices and stimulating investor confidence.
Originally these two hands could indeed turn the situation around.
But their opponents seemed to be predicting the future. As soon as they made the decision, there was a lot of information on the Internet, saying that if Xinli Education now wanted to deal with financial report fraud, the best way was to make mistakes in the data, not malicious fraud. Later, it was also
There are various analyzes and almost everything Xinli Education wants to do and say.
Everyone at Xinli Education was dumbfounded.
What to do?
If you continue to do this, aren't you just believing what these people say?
What's even more shocking is that when they wanted to buy back the stocks, they found that they couldn't match the amount of the other party's funds. The other party seemed to have endless stocks in their hands, constantly suppressing the stock price, and targeted sniping, so that the stock price continued to rise.
falling.
That's all.
I don’t know why, but other stocks in the online education sector of the Hong Kong stock market have also suffered continuous declines, as if they were brought down by Xinli Education.
When investors saw the current situation and saw no confidence left, they all began to sell.
One collapse, all collapse, the entire online education sector of the Hong Kong stock market was like being plowed by a precise gunman, and people were everywhere.
What's even more frightening is that there seems to be an invisible big hand controlling everything: every time there is a panic, there are always a lot of small orders, and the middle order is quickly buying stocks, and then when the market falls,
When it reaches a more difficult "level", it sells hard again and suppresses it all at once.
The offensive was like a wave, one after another.
The entire online education market, worth hundreds of billions, suddenly fell by 6%.
Xinli Education, the core of the core, is also the most miserable among them. It has fallen by 43%. And it is still falling.
At this time, neither Cao Qiguang’s press conference nor the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s statement could save Xinli Education.
Even Xinli Education’s share repurchase was exposed by the media. But the title was even more shocking: [All the cash of Xinli Education was used to repurchase shares, and the cash flow was disrupted.]
Xinli Education is like a marionette, being led step by step into the abyss.
After the press conference, Cao Qiguang was found to be helpless and collapsed on the sofa, his head buried deeply in his hands.
The mobile phone he placed on the table kept vibrating and ringing. It was filled with calls from capital, investors and the media, but he didn't want to answer any of them.
Because he knows that he is finished. The current situation in the company can no longer be solved by taking the blame and resigning. It is very likely that he will have to pay for it...
He knew that the culprit of all this was probably the young man he had never looked at from the beginning to the end.
Thinking of this young man, Cao Qiguang's eyes lit up. He felt that he might still be saved. If he could find forgiveness from that young man, maybe he could still be saved!
Since he can suppress himself like this, he can probably save himself!
Thinking like this, Cao Qiguang quickly picked up his phone with hope and wanted to call Su Yang.
After hanging up the phone calls of several investors in succession, Cao Qiguang finally dialed Su Yang's number.
The moment the call was made, the hatred and resentment in Cao Qiguang's eyes flashed away, and his face was filled with a flattering smile.
He kept hypnotizing himself in his mind: As long as he can make him forgive, he can get through this calamity, and then he can make plans later.
Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry! I'm just feeling aggrieved for a while...
