Rebirth in 90s: Rip Apart the Sacrificial Pawn Script

Yang Yajing felt her life was utterly worthless—single at 36; meager salary absolutely insufficient to cover her mother's medical expenses.

Her best friend not only stole the man she...

Chapter 77 The Consultant Must Get Things Done

The outcome of the shareholders' meeting was predictable.

After Xu Wenbin explained his ideas, and after the vote, many shareholders changed their minds and voted in favor.

In fact, in her previous life, at the moment Yang Yajing was reborn, the Xia family was still stuck in this vicious cycle, missing the opportunity to invest in the electronics and information industry.

That was because Xu Wenbin died in that lifetime, and Xia Changlong went all in and lost with a result of less than 62%, giving Xia Junhu a chance to win back 10%.

Afterwards, he used his ill-gotten gains to continuously acquire the Xia family's scattered shares, accumulating more than ten percent by 2016, becoming the second largest shareholder.

They were unaware that he had leverage over his two younger siblings, causing them to consistently align their shares with him, meaning he alone controlled nearly 30% of the shares.

If he increases it by another 50%, he will be able to control the development strategy of the Xia family conglomerate based on the condition set by his father.

But in this life, Xu Wenbin did not die; he miscalculated!

Xia Junhu was furious after news broke that there was a mannequin in Xu Wenbin's car.

Yang Yajing smiled wryly. Although she didn't know the situation with the Xia family, she was relieved that she had saved a relative and preserved the investment returns under his name.

Speaking of investing, it's already March. After the Lunar New Year, there was a bull market, and everyone was excited about the auspicious beginnings of the new millennium.

Only Yang Yajing took advantage of the bull market to slowly liquidate her holdings.

Yang Yajing wasn't the only one buying stocks; her friends did too, and even two big shots she served as an "investment advisor" for, receiving a cut of the profits.

Yang Yajing felt that as an advisor and friend, she also needed to do something practical!

Now that everyone has a mobile phone, Yang Yajing typed the following in a mass text message: "Clear out all inventory and close the net before May! Make sure to do it!"

Her friends who invested with her often received mass text messages with similar instructions. They themselves didn't know much about the stock market, and they never questioned Yang Yajing's instructions; they just followed them exactly.

But those two big shots wouldn't let Yang Yajing have the final say.

"Ya Jing! Things are going so well, why do you want me to sell off my entire stock?" Xu Wenbin called.

“I feel like the policies will change, the international financial market has already started to turn around, and this bull market in China seems a bit overvalued,” Yang Yajing said. “Except for those two long-term Hong Kong stocks, have you sold everything else? Trust me, I won’t joke around with my share of the profits.”

"Okay! I'll listen to you this time." Xu Wenbin had actually seen the fluctuations in foreign stock markets, especially those in the Pacific region, and sensed something different.

As for Xia Changlong, this busy man actually replied to the text message instantly: "Are you sure?"

"Sell everything except those two Hong Kong stocks!" After typing that, she added, "Take your time selling! Don't cause a big market fluctuation, I haven't sold all my shares yet!"

"If the information is inaccurate, you'll have to pay me back!" Xia Changlong continued texting.

The number Yang Yajing had was actually Xia Changlong's private number, known to only a handful of people.

The company phone was always in Secretary Huang's hands, and Xia Changlong didn't answer every call.

"I'm informing you, and you're threatening me? Go ahead and throw it away!" Yang Yajing continued typing on her phone. "When you lose everything in the company and your slush fund, don't blame me, your advisor, for not warning you!"

"Oh! You're not using honorifics anymore?"

"You're so senile, why should I use honorifics?"

"What if your analysis is wrong?"

"What if my analysis is right? Want to make a bet?"

How do we bet?

"If my analysis is correct, you have to give me 10% of your personal profits as a consulting fee!"

"You're quite arrogant! What if you're wrong?"

"Then I'll make up for your losses!"

"Do you know how much money I have?" Xia Changlong thought Yang Yajing was really a fearless newborn calf.

"Whether I know it or not isn't the point; the point is I'm guaranteed to win! Just wait and see, you can send me the money!"

Not only did she send that text message, Yang Yajing also sent her bank account number to Xia Changlong's phone, clearly indicating that she was waiting for money!

When Xia Changlong saw that the girl was serious, he immediately called Xu Wenbin.

"Did the girl also tell you to clear out your inventory before May?" Xia Changlong asked.

"Also? She sent you a mass text message too?" Xu Wenbin was surprised.

"Mass messages? Does she do this often?"

"Yeah! I've received them several times already, and they're always incredibly accurate!" Xu Wenbin laughed.

"Oh dear! Why didn't you tell me sooner? What a loss! What a loss!"

"What's wrong?" Xu Wenbin asked, puzzled.

Xia Changlong then told Xu Wenbin about the conversation they had just had. Xu Wenbin laughed heartily and said that Xia Changlong was going to suffer a huge loss this time, and that this girl was going to be rich!

Whether it's true or not, Xu Wenbin's words reassured Xia Changlong.

He immediately convened an investment meeting, instructing the traders to begin selling off their stocks one by one, ensuring that they were out of the market by May.

Everyone is confused: in this bull market, why are people selling off so easily?

But since the boss made that request, we had to do it no matter how much we had doubts. After all, the money belonged to the company, and the company belonged to the Xia family. They couldn't afford to lose money if we didn't follow instructions.

If they follow the instructions and end up losing money, they won't be held responsible, right?

Xia Changlong had a backup plan: he didn't tell his brothers and sisters the reason for his decision. Actually, he couldn't give a clear reason; it couldn't very well be a bet with a little girl, could it?

However, since the investment company has no positions, it can't just sit and wait to make no money, can it?
