The experts on TV kept emphasizing that stocks like Huahong would see high trading volume and a consolidation pattern, rather than a one-sided trend.

For stock market investors, you can make money no matter which direction you choose. But you have to be quick to enter and exit the market, otherwise, if one side wins, your short-term profits will be trapped.

Experienced stock market investors will listen to such nonsense. Although some of what they say makes sense, it's not really true.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

Why are these retail investors rushing in? If they support Xing Baohua, they're likely to get fleeced by international speculative capital. If they support international speculative capital, Xing Baohua's billions of dollars are not to be underestimated.

They've ripped off all that money over and over again, who can they complain to?

Or, to put it another way, if you go in the right direction, you'll make a fortune. Isn't that nonsense? If knowing the direction is as easy as knowing the numbers on a lottery ticket, why bother with stocks? You could make money playing the lottery.

With the bulls and bears locked in a tug-of-war, the trading volume is bound to be enormous, like a meat grinder, and any retail investor who gets involved will be wiped out.

Then why bother luring people in to play?

This so-called expert is either from international speculative capital or a distributor. The distributor is more likely.

After all, the stock market charges commissions based on the number of transactions, not your profits. Encouraging you to enter and exit quickly is essentially encouraging you to place more orders so they can earn commissions on each transaction.

Jin Xin pointed at the television again and asked, "Could the situation they described happen?"

"I won't start well; it'll either go up in one go and come down in the next. I'll wait, and they'll wait too."

Jin Xin said, "So, those who buy your shares will suffer a terrible fate, right?"

Xing Baohua could only nod. The current price was not suitable for supporting the market. They could only wait for a lower price to buy back the shares, which would be cheaper and allow them to buy more shares.

That's just how the market is; there's no room for sympathy.

Just as the experts on TV said, international speculative investors want to force Xing Baohua to sell his original shares. The company is so big and has so many shareholders, so perhaps some shareholders will release some of their original shares to cash out and reduce their own risks.

This is all too common in stock market battles.

Xing Baohua did the same when acquiring Columbia, Nissan, and Nikon. There are different ways to operate outside the formalities; privately negotiating with shareholders to acquire them at a higher price is a perfectly normal transaction.

I remember a true story with a little joke: someone opened a factory, the kind that wasn't publicly listed. They found some investors to partner with and fund the factory's establishment.

The factory officially went into production, cash became fixed assets, and everyone rolled up their sleeves and worked hard. However, the largest shareholder, who had invested the most money, sold 90% of his shares to a competitor. Instantly, the competitor became the largest shareholder of the factory.

The competitors felt that this factory would rise to prominence and affect their interests, and only by nipping it in the bud could they ensure their goal of monopolizing the market.

The major shareholder had no choice; the competitors were offering too much money. Isn't the point of investing to make money? Long-term returns are too slow, while short-term returns are not only fast but also double.

Selling shares when it feels right, even without considering the interests of other shareholders, is just a matter of why there were no restrictions on the sale of shares in the contract.

That's why Xing Baohua held a small meeting with the shareholders and told them not to focus on immediate gains, or they wouldn't be able to remain friends in the future.

Of course, Xing Baohua has the right of first refusal to acquire the shareholders' shares, which ties up Xing Baohua's limited working capital.

The amount of shares in circulation will be affected by the amount of capital.

Once the other party raises their paddle, Xing Baohua either buys it back at a premium according to the rules, or watches the other party enter the company.

That said, their entry into these subsidiaries doesn't really have much impact on headquarters, but they definitely cause trouble.

Increased share issuance will inevitably dilute the shares. If the other party is pressured to sell shares, Xing Baohua has already stipulated the right of first refusal when he founded the company, which is an absolute advantage.

There's actually an even more ruthless method: colluding with other shareholders to forcibly remove certain minority shareholders from the company through a shareholders' meeting. It's difficult to execute, but very effective.

However, it often brings a lot of side effects.

Especially for listed companies, which have many shareholders of all sizes, internal conflicts and instability can be disastrous.

We must stabilize all shareholders and ensure that their interests are not infringed upon; perhaps then we can succeed.

The best example is Steve Jobs, the founder of Big Fruit, who angered all the shareholders so that they united to kick him out.

There are many ways to do this, but you must first consider your own interests and the interests of some shareholders before you can implement them, otherwise it may cause resistance from other shareholders.

The experts on TV continued their spiel, but Xing Baohua wasn't in the mood to watch. That was all she could tell Jin Xin; the rest was up to her to figure out.

Shortly after, Second Secretary Xie Yingying came to report that the special representative of Mitsui Bank urgently requested a meeting.

Xing Baohua knew who it was without even thinking.

What are you doing here so late at night? Don't you think the money from Mitsui Bank will arrive tomorrow?

Mitsui Fujisaburo walked into Xing Baohua's office; he was very familiar with this place and often came here.

He was still so polite and humble.

"Just say what you need to say, I'm very busy!" Xing Baohua didn't even invite the other party to sit down, and told them to explain their purpose clearly.

"Mitsui Bank wants to distribute a portion of your company's stock."

Upon hearing this, Xing Baohua realized that the other party wanted to earn a handling fee, and this was another case of the fleecing him.

Seeing Xing Baohua's slight frown, Mitsui Fujisaburo quickly said, "Don't worry, the stocks distributed by Mitsui Bank are only for Japanese clients, so it won't cause you any conflict."
