Chapter 232 Application for Suspension
When Benjamin received a call from Li Chaoren, a trace of worry finally let go of his heart.
"There is an old saying in China, those who know the times...what is going to say later? It doesn't matter. Anyway, in front of our Wall Street investment bank's wolf pack, any capital and consortium are in our eyes full of sheep to be slaughtered." Benjamin looked proud of a successful person.
He didn't take the whole of Asia seriously at all, let alone a small port city.
Several local local consortiums, plus a newly emerging game console manufacturer, even if they have capital, they are just loans.
It's really overestimating one's ability to compete with Wall Street for just this little money.
"Smash it directly and make the price to 30 yuan. I believe that if Lin Ping is a smart person, he will not resist anymore. He will do his best to break through it immediately!" Benjamin, who had chips in his hand, no longer had any scruples.
After the boss's order, these traders no longer had any scruples.
In an instant, the defense price of 150 yuan was broken down.
Just as the price was broken down, lawyer Liu Dacheng hurriedly asked Lin Ping for his opinion.
"These guys are too cruel. It seems that they have sold a lot of shorts. If they are asked to dump the price, they will probably make a lot of profits in these two shorts." When lawyer Liu Dacheng said this, he actually hoped that Lin Ping would defend himself. However, the cost of defending against five companies at the same time is too high. With Lin Ping's funds in hand, it is too risky to fight head-on with the other party.
"These people are just making profits from back and forth. We raise the price to lure them to sell. Now the stocks in our hands account for 63% of the total share capital. Now it depends on whether these people can hand over our real stocks instead of some short-selling bills. Now I can apply for suspension of trading based on the identity of the first shareholder. I will stop him for a month or two. I see what these people will do? At that time, I will get paper stock certificates and say what they will give to me? Go to the media to send a message and announce to the media that Datang Group has become the largest shareholder of these five companies, and Datang Group's holding ratio of more than 60% perfectly completed absolute holding. In order to better serve the real estate industry in Hongcheng, Taihang Holdings decided to apply for suspension of trading temporarily. "Lin Ping decided to use suspension of trading to first use the suspension of trading.
See how these wolves from Wall Street respond.
After all, five companies have changed their bosses, and the five companies now belong to the same boss. Such an application for suspension of trading is extremely normal for the whole world.
Once the stock is applied for suspension, the stock will be liquidated.
If those short sellers cannot fill the gap, they may be investigated immediately.
Although Lin Ping, as the ultimate profiter, is likely to be investigated, after all, buying so many stocks is more or less suspicious.
However, any transaction can be clearly investigated by Lin Ping's actions in the stock market. Whether it is the source of funds or the goal of purchasing stocks, they are open and upright, able to withstand any investigation and even more doubt.
On the other hand, Goldman Sachs Investment Bank, once the naked short selling is done, it will be a fatal blow to this investment bank.
After all, this bottomless operation method can only be buried in the darkness, and once it is exposed by the media, it is probably even a giant like Goldman Sachs Investment Bank cannot withstand the blow after exposure.
If Benjamin is smart enough, when he knows the news of the suspension, he will fill in all short selling before liquidation.
Sure enough, less than half an hour after lawyer Liu Dacheng released the news, Benjamin received a call from his colleague.
"What did you say? Taihang Holdings wants to suspend these five companies?" After hearing the news, Benjamin immediately realized what Lin Ping's ultimate goal was.
"Okay, I understand! I will fill in the loophole before the market closes. Li Chaoren has sold all the shares held by the company to us, and the bosses of several other companies have agreed to do so. The shares we hold now should be blocked." When Benjamin said this, there was a hint of panic in his heart.
Because he found that even if he handed over the stocks of the bosses of these companies to Lin Ping to fill the loophole, there is a gap of 5% to 8%.
He completely ignored Lin Ping's application for suspension of trading. Now the stock price has been suppressed very low. Benjamin can already buy stocks thrown out by retail investors and small and medium-sized investors from the stock market.
However, these quantities purchased from the stock market are not enough to reach 5% or 8%.
If he is given enough time, he can completely plug these loopholes before the opening of the market on the second or even the third day.
But I didn't expect Lin Ping to react so quickly.
It really goes with the old saying that people who hunt for many years end up being killed by prey.
As a last resort, Benjamin had to contact lawyer Liu Dacheng.
If Lin Ping could delay the suspension of trading for two days later, or Lin Ping now puts a price to trade some.
Otherwise, Benjamin would not be able to block the gap at all.
After making a mistake that even a rookie would not make, Benjamin patiently waited for the other end of the phone to connect.
"Hello, I am Benjamin from Goldman Sachs Investment Bank! I have met Mr. Lin. Is it convenient to talk to him on the phone now?" The only contact information that Benjamin knew was Liu Dacheng, and he could only contact Lin Ping through lawyer Liu Dacheng.
After Liu Dacheng heard that it was Benjamin, he immediately covered the microphone with his hands, looked at Lin Ping in a low voice and said, "The negotiations are coming!"
Lin Ping took the phone and revealed to the microphone: "Hello, I'm Lin Ping!"
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am Benjamin. I believe Mr. Lin should know the intention of making this call! I have a maximum gap of 8%. Mr. Lin might as well offer a price." Benjamin said helplessly.
"5 billion US dollars! If you agree, we can sign a contract for equity transfer now. If you disagree, then wait for the regulatory authorities to investigate slowly! Anyway, for me, these five companies have already been obtained. I have enough time to accompany you to investigate, and even have enough time to sue you. I am not in the mood to bargain with you, because you got me off and I have no good feelings for you. My asking price is not high, even based on the price I purchased when I bought the stock, I just doubled the price. Under the operation of my company, the stock price of 300 yuan is not expensive. It is not a few hours before the market closure in the afternoon, so think about it carefully." After that, Lin Ping hung up the phone.
If you are playing tricks on yourself, you will have to kill you hard?
When Benjamin heard Lin Ping's words, he had the intention to kill people. However, because of his carelessness or his complete underestimation of the enemy, he made such a fatal mistake.
Through these two short selling, coupled with the profits of the stock market fluctuations of other companies associated with the profits.
The operational consortium can fully afford the money, and even after paying the money, there is still a little profit.
However, the peers may not be willing to bear this loss. It is okay for these people to make money and let them spit out the money they have earned. No matter what, these people will not accept it.
But even if I discuss with these colleagues now, I'm afraid I don't have that much time.
Now the money can only be paid out through the company's account.
Fortunately, I have enough money to pay in my account, but unfortunately, I am afraid that my career will end here.
With such a huge action, all of their peers have made money and made a lot of profits.
My company could have earned more than 2 billion US dollars. If the time goes a little longer, it will not be a problem to pass on the manipulation of the entire Hong Kong stock market.
And this is just the income of a company.
"This matter is kept confidential for me for the time being. If the company knows, it will freeze this account and I will not have the right to manipulate any penny in this account. If this is the case, the company will push me as a scapegoat. The company does not want to see the losses in funds. They would rather let me go to jail than buy stocks with Lin Ping." Benjamin was a little panicked at this moment. If he was rational, he could get a more calm analysis.
The company will never let this matter be published in the newspaper, nor will it let it be transmitted back to Wall Street.
Among these investment banks on Wall Street, everyone can indeed be together and fight like a pack of wolves at some point.
But we have to admit that we are all affiliated with different companies and are competitors in the industry.
When someone falls down, others will come up and step on them without hesitation.
"Is there no other way? If you really do this, the company may not sue you in court, but you have no place in the entire circle. No company will hire you again. You will live a life after retirement early, and you will still have no pension. Although you have earned a lot of money over the years and have made great efforts and efforts for the company's growth. But are you really willing to spend so many years of hard work and effort?" Although Benjamin did not explain many things in the team, he had his own friends in the team. He even had good friends who could even talk about such confidential things.
Benjamin didn't believe that he would betray him, and his only worry was that he would implicate the entire team.
Although in companies, in global acquisition wars, naked short selling often occurs.
But as long as it doesn't turn a scandal, many times the company turns a blind eye. Once such a thing is published in the newspaper, the company's creditworthiness in the industry will be greatly reduced, and no one can escape the blame.
No matter how much money you made for the company in the past, no matter how much benefit you gained from this short selling method, as long as something happens once, all the credits you made in the past will not exist.
After all, for companies, the dirty means used in the past, the money earned from profits is actually paid to you.
After each acquisition war is completed, there are rewards ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions or tens of millions of dollars. However, they are all the money given by the company when it turns a blind eye.
The bonuses given include the company's hush money to you, and also the company's acquiesce to this behavior.
As long as nothing happens, anything can be done.
Before the stock market closed that afternoon, Benjamin and Lin Ping signed an equity transfer agreement in person.
He spent $5 billion to buy 8% of the shares of five companies from Lin Ping.
Lin Ping is now the largest shareholder of these five companies, and the Goldman Sachs Investment Bank represented by Benjamin is the second largest shareholder of these five companies.
During such a period of stock price fluctuations, many shareholders chose to reduce their holdings in their hands, and some even completely cleared their holdings.
After all, as shareholders of the company for a long time, they have a very good understanding of the range of the company's stock price. Sell it at a high price. If you are optimistic about the company in the future, you can buy it at a reasonable price in the future.
This difference between buying and selling can earn these shareholders a lot of wealth that they may not have earned in half their lives.
In the first wave of battles in the stock market, Lin Ping, you will win the final victory. You won the first point in the first game.
After all, Goldman Sachs Investment Bank each holds 8% of the shares of these five companies, so they will definitely not give up. There will be a day when it makes a comeback.
After suffering such a big loss, how could they think nothing happened?
However, they are at a disadvantage now, and even if they are unwilling to accept it, they can only endure it silently.
"I had prepared a big move, but I didn't expect to encounter such a stupid opponent. If Benjamin fought with me with the total amount of equity, based on their capital thickness, I could only use big moves to defeat them. I could only completely pull the real estate market in Port City into the ice layer of the cold winter, and even in despair that could not be seen at first sight. These Wall Street capitals would leave after they could not see profitability. But I never expected that this victory would be a bit too easy." After Lin Ping completely controlled the five companies, and now he had not less money, but more money.
Since Lin Ping made a long time ago, Lin Ping's highest purchase price was 150 yuan, while the lowest purchase price was only 10 yuan.
Even if the cost of the five companies is equalized, it will be only more than 50 yuan.
The 8% shares that were finally sold were sold at a price of 300 yuan.
It is equivalent to getting five companies for nothing, and not only having more than one billion US dollars in hand.
"What is the ultimate move you are talking about? Let me listen to it too." Lawyer Liu Dacheng asked curiously.
"It's very simple. Huaxia is about to announce the withdrawal of the toughest attitude of Hong Kong City." Lin Ping said that, looking at the reaction of lawyer Liu Dacheng.
After hearing this, lawyer Liu Dacheng was slightly stunned.
The retraction of Hong Kong City was reported in the media a few years ago, and the reports have never stopped in the past few years.
Chapter completed!
