432: Chapter 432 Brother, how about we add some more stock!

Huang Tianya had certainly not collected enough tuition fees yet.

After all, they had barely started. Most importantly, not only did they show no intention of apologizing, but they even had Lenovo release a chip.

Wall Street thought that pulling out Lenovo would be enough to divert their firepower.

They didn't even bother to check the reputation of the people they chose.

A company that the people of China called a 'trading market' suddenly pulled out a 20nm chip with surprisingly good performance...

"Add to the position. Dump another 2 billion."

The operator next to him immediately began executing the orders. In theory, investment was about the bold being gorged while the timid starved, but in this operation, they had the determination to win.

However, at this moment, the secretary reminded him again: "Mr. Huang, if we add another 2 billion, the leverage will be a bit..."

"I know what you mean, but how much is this really?

Samsung and TSMC combined have a valuation in the trillions. We are just moving a slightly larger amount of capital.

Only by making it big enough can we make them feel it and make them reduce their petty tricks."

As for whether the short selling would succeed, the secretary actually had an answer in his heart, and his answer was the same as Huang Tianya's.

After all, TSMC's orders were already starting to flow out, and their technology was far inferior to Transsion Semiconductor. The same went for Samsung. The fundamentals were ruined, and the stock prices were all being propped up by investment banks.

However, in such critical decision-making, not everyone could hold the same opinion; someone had to make everyone calm down.

The assistant nodded, and after continuing to decline, he submitted it...

Meanwhile, in a conference room in a building on Wall Street, representatives from five investment banks sat around together.

On everyone's computer were financial models, position details, and risk assessment reports for TSMC and Samsung.

Huang Tianya's refusal to let go made them feel the difficulty. After all, in all their years in the industry, they had never seen such a shameless investment bank.

After all, everyone played in this circle; who hadn't been trapped before?

But now, Huang Tianya had directly broken this rule!

Consequently, everyone in the conference room became a chain smoker, the air thick with smoke. No one looked good; after all, if they truly couldn't get out, they would all be "skydiving" collectively.

"Why did they add to their position again?"

The representative from Goldman Sachs threw the transaction confirmation letter he had just received directly onto the table, his eyes flashing with immense anger.

"They used four times leverage this time, investing 2 billion USD.

They must be crazy; this is an attempt to smash through our defensive line."

"We have already invested 8 billion in defensive funds. Although the stock price has rebounded, it is still in a downward trend... If we follow up again, how will we answer to the shareholders?"

"Can Lenovo find another way to attract some of the firepower?"

"Lenovo is useless. As soon as they released it, a bunch of netizens dug it up and said it was a discarded Qualcomm project.

Although they claimed it was a successful self-developed product, it has already backfired online. People on the internet are already speculating that Lenovo is just a firefighter helping us divert attention."

"Then what do we do? Just let them smash the market like this?"

At this time, the representative from JPMorgan already had thoughts of retreating, as they didn't hold many shares in these two companies.

If worse comes to worst, we'll just cut our losses and exit!

But at this moment, the representative from Goldman Sachs lit another cigarette and sat in his chair to think about the current plan.

Either continue to reinforce the rear, or cut losses and exit, or finally, find new positive catalysts.

For example, a significant increase in 20nm or 22nm production capacity, or a breakthrough in 16nm, or perhaps the arrival of ASML's new generation Lithography Machine, with technology about to see a major breakthrough.

As long as there is any good news, it would be a good thing for them.

Plus, it would allow them to make Huang Tianya cough up some blood.

This cigarette instantly helped him find a train of thought, so he quickly snuffed it out!

"Is there any new progress with TSMC and Samsung, or can MediaTek place a large order with them!

That way, our pressure might be a little less!"

Mentioning TSMC and Samsung, everyone present shook their heads. The internal situation of these two companies was even worse than the released data!

The so-called high yield rate was all data fabrication; the actual yield rate hadn't even broken the passing line... Fabricating it again would just be giving Huang Tianya new leverage.

Just as fear was spreading further, the representative from JPMorgan quickly said: "According to the information we received, a quad-core 4G chip from MediaTek is going to tape-out next month, expected to use TSMC's 22nm process.

But this chip is still in the risk verification stage. It will take some time to tape-out, and it will take at least another month for the yield rate verification results to come out.

Huang Tianya won't give us a month!"

"Can we sign a 10 billion contract first, and then go straight to mass production later!"

That representative shook his head again. After all, MediaTek didn't even know if this chip could sell 10 billion worth, so how could they place such a large order?

Moreover, one of MediaTek's shareholders is Transsion, which holds a full 18%, and they weren't satisfied with that, only giving up the idea after Tsai Ming-kai's strong refusal...

Because of this, MediaTek also embarked on a new dead end!

Just as everyone was anxious, new bad news arrived. A trader poked his head in, his face not just fearful, but deathly pale; he looked like he was about to die.

"President, the stock price has fallen another three points."

"The public opinion on the Asian market side has already risen, and retail investors have started to follow the trend and sell."

Everyone rolled their eyes, stunned by this thunderous news.

"Damn it! Are the retail investors here to make things worse again?"

"Can't they see that someone is deliberately smashing the market?"

"We have already stabilized the market, and there is a very distinct capital fighting against them. Why can't the retail investors hold on a little longer?"

Meanwhile, in the Asian market. Taipei, in a trading room for large clients.

Several middle-aged men were staring intently at the big screen. They had originally been celebrating the victory of the defensive funds, but not long after, TSMC's stock price curve plunged like a waterfall again.

Many were so angry they started cursing, and some of the tougher ones even smashed the beverage bottles in their hands onto the floor.

The advisor next to them could only smile apologetically and hurriedly called the staff to serve the big bosses some fresh tea.

After all, these big bosses had wanted to sell just a moment ago, but because of her suggestion, they decided to trust the defensive funds again, did not sell their stocks, and even added 500,000 to their positions. As a result...

"Damn it, 15% was already a miracle, and now it's falling again... Market stabilization? Is this what you call the defensive funds in action?"

"Lao Liu, don't believe these idiots. They are just using us to feed the fish. Are we cutting our losses or not?"

"Cut! If we don't cut now, our coffin money will be gone!"

The advisor hurried forward. After all, the chips in the hands of the big bosses in front of her added up to over 10 million. If they all sold, the fear it would cause among those retail investors would be enormous...

"Brother, why don't we reconsider? This is a hunting operation targeting our semiconductor companies!

Wall Street is urgently trying to stabilize the market. Now they are smashing it crazily; you are just using them to force the other side to concede.

We must not be fooled. Believe me, this is absolutely the best opportunity to get on board!"
