With Hillad's investment in various media outlets, multiple media outlets in the United States have given extensive coverage to EA Games' latest release, Halo 4.
In no time, the popularity of Halo 4 skyrocketed in the United States, and the game's grand universe and spectacular combat levels became known to the public through media reports.
Countless gamers are eagerly awaiting the game's official release.
Furthermore, Enzo's public relations efforts with Canadian game distributors demonstrate that there is significant demand for Halo 4 in the market.
With its massive advertising campaign, Halo 4 quickly became a nationwide hit, and Electronic Arts' stock price soared accordingly.
At Trump's hotel.
Chen Ze looked at the rising stock price and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"It seems Enzo really has some skills." He stubbed out his cigarette, looked at Zhang Guoheng, and asked, "Guoheng, how much money have we invested so far?"
“Boss, this morning the five of us each invested $50 million, and when the stock price plummeted, we each added another $70 million, for a total investment of $600 million. We lost $300 million this morning, but thankfully the stock price recovered this afternoon and is currently at $24. We have made a profit of more than eight times our initial investment. Subtracting the $300 million loss from this morning, our total profit is $4.5 billion.” Zhang Guoheng explained to Chen Ze while using a calculator.
The traders looked at the balance in their accounts, and they were all very excited, especially Xiaofang, who swore that this was the most money she had ever seen in her life.
Zhang Guoheng walked up to Chen Ze and whispered something mysteriously in his ear.
"Boss, we've made so much money, shouldn't we stop now? It's already over 20 billion RMB! Back in China, you'll be a true billionaire!"
Chen Ze did not deny Zhang Guoheng's words. He raised his wrist to check the time. There were only five minutes left until the market closed, and he guessed that the stock price should not change much.
So he got up, put his arm around Zhang Guoheng's shoulder, and led him to the window. He said seriously, "Guoheng, the game has just begun. The best is yet to come. Do you see that high-rise building in the distance that's only half-built? In the current real estate market, if you were the boss, would you sell a building that's only half-built?"
"Um... probably not." Zhang Guoheng answered truthfully.
Chen Ze patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "You have to use your brain more often. As the old saying goes, the bold get rich, and the timid starve."
Zhang Guoheng nodded as if he understood, but suddenly realized that the boss was indeed the boss. He wasn't satisfied even after winning 20 billion. If it were him, he would have already liquidated his positions and run away.
Soon, the first day of the battle surrounding Electronic Arts (EA) stock ended, and after the market closed, EA's stock price remained at $23.50 per share.
Meanwhile, the person in charge of the Citron Short Selling Research Fund slammed his fist on the table in anger as he looked at the loss figures.
"These damned guys actually managed to turn the tide with a new game." They urgently adjusted their strategy, planning to start with public opinion tomorrow to smear Halo 4.
The person in charge got up and went to the door of the boss's office, then knocked.
"Knock knock knock".
"Come in."
A dignified voice came from inside the office.
Only after receiving permission did the person in charge push open the door and go inside, then casually close the door behind them.
Before he could speak, the white-haired old man with a cane asked first, "How much money did our fund lose today?"
The person in charge answered respectfully.
"Your Excellency Viscount, our Citron Foundation has lost a total of $12 billion from morning to afternoon."
The white-haired old man's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy. His brows furrowed tightly, and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. He sneered, "Hmph, this Enzo really does have some tricks up his sleeve!"
His voice revealed obvious dissatisfaction and anger, as if he were very angry about what Enzo had done.
Then, he gave an order to the person in charge standing to the side: "Tomorrow you go and arrange for the media to start smearing the game Halo 4, tell them that the game has serious bugs and quality problems, and make players doubt and resent it."
Upon hearing this, the person in charge nodded hurriedly and replied, "Yes, Your Excellency, I will arrange it immediately." He dared not be negligent in the slightest, because he knew that this white-haired old man was not someone to be trifled with.
The white-haired old man seemed dissatisfied with the person in charge's answer. He waved his hand impatiently at the person in charge, as if shooing away a fly, indicating that he could leave.
The person in charge understood and, as if granted a pardon, hurriedly turned around and quickly walked out of the office.
Just as the person in charge opened the office door, he ran into the big, black man who was returning from outside.
After exchanging a glance, Lao Hei did not stop, but walked straight into the office and closed the door behind him.
When the long-haired white man saw the black man return, he immediately stood up and asked anxiously, "How's it going, black man? Did you find out? Is someone really pulling the strings behind the scenes?"
His tone was full of worry and urgency, clearly showing that he cared a lot about this matter.
Old Hei bowed slightly before answering.
"Your Excellency, I went to the exchange and inquired carefully. The people there said they couldn't find any evidence that William and his group were behind it. I spent the afternoon there, and when the market closed, they told me that most of the funds came from retail investors in the United States, with some from small institutions and some wealthy Chinese individuals."
The long-haired man roared angrily.
"Impossible! Impossible! Where would retail investors get such a huge amount of money? If it wasn't William's people who did it, then it must be those Childe vampires in Europe."
At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been silent spoke up calmly.
“Your Excellency, you need to calm down. Do you know that you look exactly like one of those drug addicts on the street right now?”
Upon hearing his words, the long-haired man realized that he had indeed lost his composure and calmed down slightly.
The white-haired old man stared at Lao Hei and asked, "Lao Hei, you said that most of the funds are from retail investors, so what about the hundreds of billions of yuan that have come in today?"
"Your Excellency Viscount, according to our investigation, excluding some small organizations and some wealthy Chinese individuals, the number of individual investors participating today has reached as many as 800,000."
Eight hundred thousand people? The three bigwigs in the office stared at him in disbelief.
Old Hei felt uncomfortable being stared at by three big shots.
He could only repeat himself, “Gentlemen, I am telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, call Mr. Robert at the stock exchange.”
Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man waved his hand at him and said authoritatively.
"Okay, we understand. You can go out now."
