Turning one's hand to make clouds, turning one's hand to make rain

The current situation of Xinzheng Group was not only being watched by them, but also by Wang Shaojun, who was far away in Magic City.

Watching the high-spirited crowd in the stock market, he couldn't help but chuckle softly, then turned to Butler Wei and said, "Tell Wang Zhennan that when the market value breaks through 400 billion, he can start selling. Don't they want to buy at the bottom?

Then sell Xinzheng Group to them, as much as possible, and then let the people outside continue to short it. Don't give them a chance; directly press the stock price to the floor.

Also, expose all the negative news about Xinzheng Group, especially those involving the group's senior executives. This is a good opportunity to clean them all out.

When it's almost done, find people to accumulate shares at a low price. Find more people."

"Yes, Young Lord!"

...2 PM!

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of Xinzheng Group breaking through a market value of 400 billion, little did they know that danger had quietly arrived.

"Oh my god, it's 400 billion! It has doubled! It's terrifying, and this is even without Brother Jun stating his position."

"Amazing, truly amazing. I bought in late, and my return rate has already reached fifty percent. I have to say, it's really profitable. Following the principle of not discussing parallel stock markets, I'll take my profits and wait until Brother Jun states his position before re-entering."

"Hehe, I sold when it was forty percent. The rise made my heart pound, and this momentum is too terrifying. Plus, Heavenly Palace Group hasn't made any moves. If I don't sell, I always feel uneasy, as if there's a sword hanging over my head, ready to fall at any moment."

"I'm even more timid; I sold after earning twenty percent. Although it seems like I sold too early now, I'm content, as I've already earned two years' salary."

"Hahahaha, then congratulations, you sold correctly. Guess what I found? The upward trend has started to slow down, indicating it has peaked, and there's also a gradual downward trend."

"I noticed it too. I always feel like this is the calm before the storm, and Xinzheng Group's current market value has already severely exceeded its intrinsic value."

If retail investors can feel it, institutional capital can naturally sense it too.

In the past, they would have fled long ago, but this time they chose to observe for a while.

After all, if Xinzheng Group could become a second Yuanyang Group, the profits it would bring them would be enormous, so they chose to act as retail investors this time.

The final outcome was also obvious; retail investors, of course, were only meant to be harvested.

Just as they were observing, Heavenly Palace Hotel suddenly announced that it had reduced its stake in Xinzheng Group by ten percent, and the reduction had already been completed.

In fact, it was not, because he was still selling relentlessly, and doing so openly.

As soon as this news broke, everyone was shocked!

"Damn Heavenly Palace Group, they're playing us."

"Baka yarou! Sell, sell quickly! We've been played by them!"

"Aish, Heavenly Palace Group dug a pit for us, and we foolishly jumped into it. Throw out the chips in our hands; a little loss is a little loss. We can't beat them."

"Chairman, this is bad! We can't sell, we can't sell at all! Wang Zhennan is crazy! This is more than ten percent, and he's listing it so low. He wants to sell off Xinzheng Group!"

By the time they reacted, it was too late; Wang Zhennan had already blocked their retreat.

Sell, I'll let you sell. If you want to sell, you can, but leave the money behind.

I let you push the stock price so high, I let you buy at the bottom. It's you capitalists I'm cutting.

For others, when one whale falls, all things grow. For Wang Shaojun, when one whale falls, everyone is crushed to death.

However, this was just the beginning.

"Explosive News: Just now, three members of Xinzheng Group's board of directors were involved in group prostitution, embezzlement of public funds, suspected murder, and more than ten other illegal and irregular activities. The police have now launched an investigation."

This was just the beginning; subsequently, a series of negative news broke, including the president's bribery, financial fraud, and problems with the company's products.

It was as if someone wanted to destroy Xinzheng Group, leading to a massive explosion of negative news.

The reduction in shares and the explosion of negative news caused Xinzheng Group's stock price to plummet.

This was not the most important thing; the most crucial factor was that the original leader of the short-sellers had returned for another attack.

The discussion forum was now filled with wails of despair!

"Oh my god, who can tell me what happened in just half an hour?"

"Yeah, yeah, I just went to the toilet, and my thirty percent return turned into negative thirty percent. What the hell, how can I play this anymore?"

"Can't play at all, I'm not playing anymore, there's something dirty going on."

"Given the current situation, is Brother Jun stating his position?"

"No, this isn't a stance. After all these operations, Brother Jun is still losing his own money. I can't figure it out; my mind is a bit confused."

"I feel it's because Brother Jun and the Thailand Consortium didn't reach an agreement. Otherwise, why would the Thailand Consortium continue to short Xinzheng Group, and why would Brother Jun reduce his shares?"

"I think so too. The Thailand Consortium and Brother Jun must have been in a partnership, and now there's a dispute over profit distribution, so they're fighting?"

"Mm-hmm, that makes sense. For capital, profit comes first, regardless of whether you're a partner."

Soon, this conjecture spread like wildfire, becoming known to everyone.

Meanwhile, in the He Family!

Old Master He was now full of worry, watching the plummeting stock price, not knowing what to do. Even he couldn't understand what Wang Shaojun was doing.

Raising the market value would benefit both sides, so why do this? Could it be true, as the internet says, that he has fallen out with the Thailand Consortium?

Headache, a real headache. This feeling of being lost in a fog made him very uneasy.

Finally, in desperation, he picked up his phone and dialed a number, his voice somewhat low, saying, "How much would we lose if we sell now?"

"Old Master, if we clear out now, including miscellaneous fees, we might lose over three billion. I think we can hold on a bit longer; the situation is still unclear."

Old Master He pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then finally nodded in agreement. "Then let's hold on a bit longer."

On the other side!

Xitan Palace in Magic City!

Wang Shaojun listened to Butler Wei analyze the current situation, then suddenly asked, "Has the He Family made any moves?"

"Reporting, Young Lord, the other party has made no unusual moves. It seems they have no intention of withdrawing."

"Not withdrawing? That won't do. If they don't withdraw, how can I reclaim the shares in their hands? Find someone to target their group. Not cutting their losses? They won't have a choice."

"Yes, Young Lord!"

While everyone else was selling, he secretly sent people to frantically accumulate shares. Ostensibly, he was reducing his stake in Xinzheng Group, but in reality, he was buying it back at a low price.
