Chapter 74 Stock Market Manipulation to Suppress Stock Prices

It was already 10 p.m. after dinner. Little Ma wanted to go out and have some more fun. But Lu Jinbo had his wife there, and Shen Fang had Tianxian and her daughter, so they just parted ways on the spot and went home to their own mothers.

The next day at dawn.

Shen Fang took Tianxian and her daughter to enjoy a Hong Kong-style morning tea.

The greedy Liu Tianxian arrived at the dim sum restaurant as if she had entered paradise.

We ordered a variety of dishes, including crystal shrimp dumplings, crispy red rice noodle rolls, siu mai, black pepper beef ribs, steamed chicken feet, fried shrimp wontons, steamed glutinous rice chicken, golden sauce tripe, lava buns, pineapple buns, and pig's feet noodles.

Hong Kong-style morning tea is different from breakfast in other cities. Authentic Hong Kong-style morning tea shops usually have at least 60+ dishes. The variety is extensive, and they are all delicious.

P.S.: Friends visiting Guangdong, you absolutely must try Hong Kong-style morning tea! It's not expensive; for just over 100 yuan per person, you can enjoy a variety of delicious foods. You can easily spend the whole day there, reading the newspaper and sipping tea. It's really quite nice.

Liu Qianqian ate until her belly was round and full, and exclaimed, "I love Guangdong!!!"

Shen Fang smiled and said, "Sisi, if you like it, we'll come again tomorrow."

Liu Qianqian nodded repeatedly: "I want to come more often, I want to try all kinds."

Liu Xiaoli pinched the still chubby-cheeked fairy.

"You can't be so greedy, Sisi, a girl needs to maintain a good figure."

Liu Qianqian nodded: "I know, Mom. It's rare for us to come out. I've been eating very vegetarian food every day while filming recently. I'm so tired of the soup you make. You never put salt in it."

Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at her daughter.

"Too much salt is unhealthy, and besides, soup should be enjoyed in its original flavor."

Shen Fang patted Liu Tianxian's little head.

"Sisi, you're still recovering. If you like something, eat more. If you want to eat, it means you need it. If you don't eat, you'll be unhappy. You have to be happy."

Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Chen Fang.

What if she grows up to be a chubby little girl?

Shen Fang laughed loudly.

Even if she grows into a chubby little girl, she will still be the prettiest chubby little girl.

Liu Qianqian, who loves beauty, quickly shook her head.

"I don't want to become a chubby girl, it's so ugly."

Shen Kun patted his belly.

"What's wrong with Fatty? I think Fatty is great. Third Uncle is right, being happy is the most important thing."

P.S.: Here's another little tip: when you feel like eating something, it's best to eat it as soon as possible. The pleasure you feel after eating will be doubled—it's not just ordinary happiness, it's great for your health.

For example, an old man I know died of depression because his family wouldn't let him eat this or that. Although it was cancer, people should do what they want in the last days of their lives. They should satisfy their cravings for food. Otherwise, they might die with regrets, which is not right.

Liu Qianqian gave Shen Kun a disdainful look.

"I don't want that. You're a boy, and I'm a girl. I'm so pretty, I can't be like you."

Chen Fang smiled.

"Sisi is the prettiest. Let's go, Brother Bo is waiting for us."

The four of them arrived at the main room.

Wang Haibo and his five apprentices had been waiting for a long time; this was the first time they had handled such a large sum of money. They were so excited they couldn't sleep. They were all brimming with energy.

Shen Fang smiled as he looked at Brother Bo.

"Brother Bo, you seem really excited."

Chen Xiaoguo smiled and said, "Boss, this is the first time we've handled such a large sum of money. Just thinking about it makes me excited."

Chen Fang smiled.

"How was the opening price today, Brother Bo?"

Wang Haibo looked at Shen Fang respectfully and said, "Boss, Changan Automobile, ST Xiaxin, and Sihuan Bio are still maintaining yesterday's prices, and they are all in a downward trend, basically around 6 yuan. Harbin Pharmaceutical Group will see a 50-cent increase starting today."

Shen Fang revealed a cold smile.

"Looks like someone still wants to compete with me to be the market maker. They've put up 30 million with 5x leverage to drive the stock price down to 4 yuan. If they want to take a bite out of me, let's see if they have the ability. The remaining 60 million will be divided into three parts to build positions and suppress the stock price."

Wang Haibo nodded.

"Understood, boss."

Shen Fang nodded and gave Shen Kun a wink. Shen Kun then took out an A4 sheet of paper and handed it to Wang Haibo.

Wang Haibo then looked at the list and saw ten stock names written on it.

Vanke A

Gree Electric Appliances

Fuyao Glass

Luzhou Laojiao

Yili stock

Yunnan Baiyao

Shanxi Fenjiu

Kweichow Moutai

Wanhua Chemical

Pien Tze Huang

Two of them were alcoholic beverages, and three were pharmaceuticals.

Wang Haibo looked at Shen Fang.

"Boss, of the ten stocks you selected, I've been following Fuyao Glass and Yili, but I'm very optimistic about the others."

Shen Fang nodded.

“Great minds think alike. In the future, liquor and pharmaceutical stocks will definitely be evergreen stocks in the stock market. You can’t go wrong buying them. I plan to hold these stocks for the long term. Today is a low point, so I’m building positions directly. No liquidation is allowed without my permission. For the remaining 100 million, I’ll leverage it twice. These companies are all very large, and the relationships between the owners behind them are very complicated. We need to be discreet and not let anyone find out.”

Wang Jinbo nodded.

"Understood, boss. A leverage of 2x is normally within the acceptable range. If 20 million is invested in batches, it will basically go unnoticed."

Liu Xiaoli watched in utter disbelief. Shen Fang had released 200 million yuan with just a few words, and even leveraged it five times.
