It's here!
As the last number reached zero, the foreign stock market appeared before everyone.
The most eye-catching stock was undoubtedly the one chosen by Zhou Chen, which hit the daily limit twice in a row, making it stand out. In contrast, the stock that Li Xiaolong had bet on was much less impressive.
Everyone stared intently at the top stock, wondering if it would hit the daily limit again this time.
"There are no limit-up days, but the number is gradually increasing."
"This is a normal phenomenon. Yesterday's two consecutive limit-up days will attract many people to enter the market, creating a 'catfish effect'."
"In that case, today's bet is still full of suspense."
"Yes, but the current advantage still lies with Zhou Chen. With two consecutive limit-up days, the money he made in foreign stocks should have surpassed that of the young master of the Li family."
Seeing that Zhou Chen's bet on foreign shares was only increasing slightly, everyone understood that the outcome would likely not be known until after the market closed.
Otherwise, if the stock opens at its daily limit up again, like yesterday, Zhou Chen will win instantly.
at this time,
Li Xiaolong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. John's information was accurate; the private equity fund was indeed out of money and was continuing to drive up the stock price. The current growth was only driven by a large influx of retail investors. Once the number of retail investors had accumulated enough, they would be harvested immediately.
Zhou Chen's two billion will also become nothing more than韭菜 (a metaphor for being exploited), and will be harvested by capital.
The victory is secured!
Li Xiaolong smiled.
Even if the stocks he bets on haven't earned as much as Zhou Chen's other stocks yet, it's because his helpers haven't appeared yet. As long as those two capital firms inject a little money, they can easily surpass Zhou Chen's gains and achieve a comeback.
Even without any help, the stock price drop caused by the small private equity fund liquidating its holdings could still allow him to win the bet.
With that, how could he possibly lose?
Just then,
The crowd gasped in surprise once again.
Li Xiaolong looked up and saw that the foreign stock he had chosen was starting to rise, showing no less momentum than Zhou Chen's.
here we go?
Li Xiaolong smiled slightly; everything was as expected.
Now, he can proceed to the next step.
At this point in time,
After whispering a few words in Li Zhenrong's ear, Li Xiaolong immediately stepped forward onto the stage.
Seeing this, many people looked puzzled.
Just as people were wondering what Li Xiaolong was planning to do, he picked up the microphone, and his voice echoed throughout the banquet hall:
"Dear bosses, I'm here today just to give you a heads-up. There's a stock that's about to be shorted. We're all Chinese, and I don't want anyone to lose everything because of a stock that seems to be doing well. Now is the best time to get out. Get out now. As for which stock I'm talking about, you're all smart people, so I won't say it directly. That's all I wanted to say."
After speaking, Li Xiaolong put down the microphone and left the stage.
But everyone present was unsettled. Li Xiaolong wouldn't dare to say something like that without reason. So, which stock would be shorted?
The first thing that came to mind was the stock Zhou Chen had chosen.
If it was Li Xiaolong who chose the foreign stock, he wouldn't have come forward to say so himself. But if it was the stock Zhou Chen chose, it would make perfect sense. Furthermore, the foreign stock Zhou Chen chose had two consecutive limit-up days, which also fits the scenario of short selling.
The surge may seem real, but it's actually an illusion designed to attract enough retail investors to be exploited later. Most experienced stock market participants understand this principle.
"I see. I knew this stock's rise was strange."
"No, I have to clear out the inventory right away."
Many people's expressions changed immediately. They didn't dare to delay and immediately took out their phones to contact their subordinates to operate on their behalf.
In an instant,
Many of the owners who had just bought shares sold them all and switched to buying more shares following Li Xiaolong's lead.
"Young Master Li, thank you. I'll remember this favor."
"Young Master Li is kind and righteous. I would be willing to cooperate with him if the opportunity arises in the future."
"Grandpa Li, you have raised a descendant who is outstanding in every way. I admire you greatly."
After the clearance sale, many business owners came to Li Xiaolong to express their gratitude. They could have easily ignored his warning, as they would have lost a lot of money. However, Li Xiaolong said they had to accept his thanks.
"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
Li Xiaolong looked humble.
That's exactly the effect he wanted. Winning the bet against Zhou Chen and gaining half of Zhou Chen's business shares would be a significant gain, but if he could use this betting opportunity to win favor with everyone present and achieve a double benefit, he wouldn't let it go either.
Right now, we've maximized the benefits of this bet.
In the future, those who are thanking him now will become his network, making it much easier for him to conduct business in mainland China.
The main reason he did this was thanks to the inspiration he received from his maternal grandfather, Li Zhenrong, last night. Li Zhenrong said that Zhou Chen likes to have many friends and likes to achieve win-win situations.
After pondering it for a while, he felt that this win-win strategy was indeed a brilliant move.
Therefore, he thought of giving this favor to achieve a win-win effect.
"Zhou Chen, I have to thank you for providing me with the opportunity to earn so many favors from the boss. Without you, even for me, it would be very, very difficult to do this."
Li Xiaolong muttered to himself. At the same time, he turned to look at the opposite side not far away. He wanted to see how Zhou Chen would react when he suddenly learned that the foreign stock he had chosen was about to be shorted.
"Trying to appear calm?"
"Unfortunately, it's pointless. Even if you knew, there's nothing you could do. If I were you, I would try my best to minimize the losses and sell all the stocks."
"Although doing this is tantamount to admitting defeat, it's still better than being exploited."
What exactly will you do?
Li Xiaolong saw that Zhou Chen was also looking at him, and their eyes met across the distance.
"This guy is really good at stirring up trouble. He actually said that someone was going to short the stock that Brother Chen picked. I think he's scared and is putting on a show of spreading rumors."
"This person is indeed despicable, attempting to influence Brother Chen's stock performance through this method, but his wish is doomed to fail. How could foreign shares be significantly affected simply because those present liquidated their positions?"
Wang Rui and Li Kaile both spoke with displeasure.
Zhang Hao, Li Wei, and the others remained silent, only slightly frowning, but a hint of worry lingered in their eyes, fearing that Li Xiaolong's prediction had come true.
If it's true, Zhou Chen will lose.
Wouldn't that lead to...?
At that moment, Zhou Chen's words caused everyone's expressions to change drastically.
"Actually, he's right. There are indeed people trying to short the stock I chose."
What?
Everyone's hearts were instantly on edge.
"However, you don't need to worry. Everything is going according to my plan. The stocks I chose are not so easy to short."
Zhou Chen said with a smile.
