"What, you want to short Xintou?"
Qi Wei looked incredulous, thinking Lin Yu had gone mad.
Short selling requires driving down the stock price, but a large international company like China Investment Corporation (信投) must have a large financial group backing it up, keeping its stock price rock stable unless there are internal problems. Otherwise, how could the price possibly come down?
Furthermore, even if the stock price of Xintou comes down, it would still require at least hundreds of billions of yuan in working capital to take over such a large market.
Tell me, in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, who has this ability?
Even aristocratic families might not have that kind of wealth!
Although Lin Yu was a young marshal, she didn't believe he could do it! After all, in her mind, a warlord family like the Lin family was far inferior to a noble family, at most comparable to a marquis's mansion.
Lin Yu's lips curled slightly, taking in all her thoughts.
He knew this woman, who had been feigning madness for over a decade, was no pushover.
To conquer a woman like this, you can't rely on force or seduction; you must use overwhelming strength to shatter her illusions and pride!
The moment Lin Yu made that call, Long Ba, on the other side of the Atlantic coast, immediately began to take action.
To be honest, this is a bit difficult, but it's the boss's order. Even if it's the moon in the sky, we have to pluck it down!
Within ten minutes, he used swift and decisive methods to infiltrate Xintou's operations, create public opinion, and simultaneously summon the company's shareholders for a meeting.
In fact, Xintou has expanded too much over the years, and there are some internal problems. Longba just took advantage of the situation and brought these problems to the surface.
It's important to know that the stock market is extremely sensitive to any news.
After these news broke, Xintou's stock price plummeted immediately!
At the same time, Longfeng Investment, a leading international investment firm controlled by Longba, quickly bought large quantities of shares at low prices from several major shareholders of the trust!
In less than half an hour, Longba acquired 51% of the shares of Xintou, successfully completing its controlling stake!
This side of the hotel.
Qi Wei stared intently at the screen.
My mind went completely blank.
God knows what she just went through!
International giant CITIC Financial Holdings has actually been shorted!
In less than half an hour, it happened so fast that retail investors had no time to react!
At the same time, she felt extremely remorseful.
If she had believed Lin Yu and bought a few million shares at the bottom of the market, she would have made a fortune by now!
Retail investors are indeed just easy targets; they never get a chance to make money!
And the way she looked at Lin Yu again was different.
To be able to short-sell an investment company worth hundreds of billions with just a single sentence is something that only those with exceptional capabilities can do.
Even aristocratic families might not be able to do that!
At this moment, Lin Yu seemed to be shrouded in mystery before her, making it difficult for her to see him clearly.
"Who...who are you?"
After a moment, Qi Wei finally uttered a question from the depths of her soul.
Lin Yu sneered, "I know that deep down you look down on me! You think that I, the young marshal, am nothing more than a gun in someone else's hands, and can't compare to a powerful family like the Wu family, right?"
"Uh, no..."
"Don't deny it!" Lin Yu shook his head and said, "Arrogance in a person's eyes can't be hidden! You're not an ordinary servant, or rather, you're not content to be a servant! How can a woman who knows flower arranging, knows chess, and likes to drink coffee be content to serve others? Everything you do isn't to please others, but to please yourself. What lurks beneath your cold and beautiful exterior is your restless ambition! Am I right?"
Qi Wei's pupils suddenly contracted.
How could he understand himself so well?
She had been feigning madness for over a decade, and even Xu Chengyi hadn't noticed a single flaw. But now, standing before Lin Yu, she felt as if her clothes had been torn off, leaving her completely naked!
Her inherent arrogance and superiority vanished instantly. She immediately knelt down before Lin Yu, saying in fear, "Young Marshal, please forgive me! I have long recognized you as my master, otherwise I would not have stayed here voluntarily. I dare not have the slightest disloyal intention. Please, Young Marshal, investigate!"
"You acknowledge me as your master? Is that it?"
Lin Yu said with a mocking expression, "You want to join me for two reasons. First, you're afraid of Xu Chengyi's retaliation and want to find a protector. Second, as you know, even if the Wu family knows the cause of Wu Xuefang's death, they probably won't really fall out with Xu Chengyi for the sake of the bigger picture. And you, the only one who knows the truth, have become a thorn in their side, and they can't wait to get rid of you!"
Lin Yu's eyes flickered as he continued, "So, your temporary submission to me is merely a calculated choice based on weighing the pros and cons. If one day you are certain of your safety, you will probably leave me immediately. In certain circumstances, you might even betray me and stab me in the back. Am I right?"
Qi Wei suddenly raised her head, looking at the young man in front of her with a terrified expression, feeling a chill run down her spine.
This child's mind is so meticulous!
They're even more terrifying than those old monsters in Yandu!
Her meager skills and tricks were utterly exposed in front of the other party!
Lin Yu lowered his head, lifted Qi Wei's slightly upturned chin, and said calmly, "I don't like women who are too scheming, and I certainly won't plant a time bomb by my side! I usually deal with unstable factors first!"
In that instant, Qi Wei felt enveloped by a strong killing intent, and her heart felt as if it were about to jump out of her chest.
He blurted out, "Young Marshal, spare my life! I... I still have value! I know you need Xu Chengyi's letter of recommendation. I am the only witness who knows his secret. You can use me to get his letter of recommendation!"
Lin Yu shook his head. "You're mistaken! I have no intention of making a fuss about this. If this is what you call value, then it's worthless to me!"
Qi Wei bit her lip, looking aggrieved, and said, "Then, what will it take for you to let me go?"
Lin Yu's lips curled slightly as he pulled out a pill the size of a longan from his pocket. "My wife needs a bodyguard. Take this pill, then infiltrate her company, become her assistant, and protect her closely! After three years, I can give you your freedom!"
Qi Wei looked at the pills, clenching her delicate fists tightly.
Although she didn't know what kind of pill it was, she knew that if she didn't take it, she would die.
So he had no choice but to take it with trembling hands, hesitate for a moment, and then put it in his mouth.
Bang!
The next second, an indescribable force surged through her body. Qi Wei groaned, feeling as if a huge rock had hit her chest. Her vision went black, and she fainted.
Feng Jiu was slightly taken aback: "Young Marshal, this is..."
Lin Yu grinned, "The Martial Alliance's elixir, but I've improved it. It doesn't have as many side effects. When she wakes up, scare her a bit! Tell her it's poison and she needs to come to me for an antidote regularly!"
Lin Yu shook his head again and said, "With her talent, she will never be able to reach the level of a Grandmaster in her lifetime. Working for me for three years and getting a Grandmaster in return is not a bad deal for her!"
