433: Chapter 433 Things have gotten chaotic; everyone's trying to profit from the confusion.

The big client didn't say much, just waved his hand to let the advisor go.

After all, with the amount he had added to his position, he had practically become a shareholder. If this were a smaller company, the funds tied up could have bought the whole thing!

The advisor wasn't stupid either, so he hurriedly raised his hand to apologize to the big brother:

"Big brother, liquidate, I'll liquidate immediately... I'll have the traders clear it out for you right away, but our position size is a bit high, so it might take some time?"

The same scene was playing out repeatedly in Seoul, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Many retail investors stared at the green bars on their screens, then looked at the numbers in their accounts, which were shrinking almost by the second, and finally broke down.

Consequently, the army of retail investors began selling off frantically once again, and the dam that Wall Street had built now looked like it had been breached by ants, with the gap beginning to widen crazily...

Huang Tianya's short positions were not only not closed, but he continued to add to his short orders.

The traders on the line on Wall Street were frantically buying the dip.

After all, if they didn't step in, they would really be doomed.

Fortunately, every time they bought, the stock price would stabilize for a few seconds before continuing to drop.

The head of trading for JPMorgan in the Asia-Pacific region picked up the internal line and called the Goldman Sachs office directly.

"We've been buying all morning and have already spent 1 billion. Not only has TSMC's stock price not risen, but it has actually dropped a bit further. Now that all the retail investors have run away and other institutions have started to join in the harvest, this battle is unwinnable."

Goldman Sachs panicked as well. He could tell what the other party meant; JPMorgan was already looking to withdraw. This was terrible news for them.

"Hold steady, I'm going to find Jacob!"

"Qualcomm has a huge demand for TSMC and Samsung. Now that the price is falling, it's a good opportunity for them to buy shares; let Qualcomm take over the buying."

...

After receiving the order from the investment bank, Jacob had no choice but to execute it. He had to use survival funds to keep TSMC and Samsung on life support; otherwise, once they were taken over by Huang Tianya, the foundry prices would be astronomical.

This was certainly not good news for Qualcomm.

However, most of their liquidity had already been transferred to Silver Lake, so he could only pass the order along...

Meanwhile, Silver Lake was also exhausted; after all, things were far worse than they had imagined.

At the request of other shareholders, they had long since participated in the market defense operation.

But Huang Tianya's ability to crash the market was too ferocious; they simply couldn't hold up.

At the same time, there was another pool of funds secretly following along. Although their methods weren't as crazy as Huang Tianya's, their capital volume was massive.

And it wasn't just Qualcomm and Samsung being targeted. There were other tech companies as well...

Especially the companies that Transsion had its eye on; they were all being shorted like crazy.

After some fighting, their peers also realized something was wrong. How come the number of people increased the more they fought?

All of Wall Street was in chaos!

Consequently, several peers realized at once that something was wrong and jointly sent someone to report the situation.

The entire report stated that this was an economic counterattack by China against them, and that someone had definitely leaked their economic infiltration plan in advance.

After hearing this analysis, Obama completely panicked. After all, the tone for this financial competition had been set by him privately visiting the founders of various investment banks.

The goal was to drag China back to before 2010 through financial and stock exchanges, but instead, the United States had become the main battlefield.

A financial harvesting station had turned into a financial defense battle!

Reinforcements, they needed reinforcements.

While he was urgently preparing to send reinforcements, Jacob also dialed the number of the person in charge at Silver Lake.

"Can you still hold on at TSMC? Can you withdraw more funds?"

"We can't withdraw any more! That madman Huang Tianya has leveraged up to four times and is still chasing. Besides, in terms of capital volume alone, we simply can't compete with professional institutions. They are too good at making money; I heard they withdrew a total of 20 billion in funds this time."

"If they could, they would keep crashing it, but we can't."

Jacob finally had a clear understanding of the situation; if that was the case, then it really wouldn't work.

"Do you think we can still use Lenovo?"

"No, they've also been affected. A self-developed chip, spent so much money, not only didn't it have any effect, but it actually brought bad results. Now they are demanding an explanation from me. Yeah, and they're asking for the moon—demanding 30 core engineers all at once. Damn it!"

Jacob scoffed. Since when could a servant talk to their master like that?

The person in charge at Silver Lake reminded him: "Do we have any positive news on the Qualcomm side? For example, can the tape-out of the Fire Dragon 820 be moved up?"

"These few chip models have failed one after another, and the doctor is a bit nervous. Currently, we are polishing the Fire Dragon 820, and the architecture has been changed to quad-core; it definitely won't become a 'fire dragon'..."

"That will take a long time. I doubt we can hold out until then."

...

The next day, the market opened and continued to fall.

Huang Tianya sat in his office, watching the red numbers flickering on the screen, a flash of pleasure crossing his heart.

"This red is good!"

Just then, his secretary ran over again and handed him a fax.

"Mr. Huang, Morgan Stanley has sent a message. They are willing to talk, and this time it's full of sincerity; they hope we stop here. At the same time, they want the people behind us to stop crashing the market too."

Hearing this, Huang Tianya became interested and looked at the surrender fax with a smile. But he couldn't keep smiling for long!

They call this sincerity? This is just trying to brush off a beggar, isn't it?

When he, Huang Tianya, sends his brothers to a club to relax, they spend more than this. And to them, 3% is a high-price takeover?

The secretary standing next to him couldn't help but laugh, saying that if they kept crashing it, TSMC's market value would fall below 100 billion, triggering debt default clauses, which would have very serious consequences.

Yet looking at their terms, they didn't seem particularly panicked.

"Don't accept." "Don't accept. With just this bit of bargaining power, they want me to close my positions? Our profit this time will be at least 300%. Tell them I'm going to crash it for another round."

After all, Goldman Sachs and the others weren't pushovers. Since Transsion wasn't giving them any face, they got angry, and both sides started trading blows again.

Two days later, TSMC's stock price fell another 5%, and Samsung's cumulative decline exceeded 20%.

The combined market value of just these two giants evaporated by over 200 billion USD, and the 5 peer institutions had already dumped over 15 billion in market defense funds, all of which were now underwater.

At this point, that conference room could no longer be described as just smoke-filled; to be precise, it was a "fairyland" at the moment, only the smell was a little strange.

"Damn it, this guy is truly crazy! We added another 1.5 billion in market defense funds yesterday, and as soon as the market opened this morning, it was crashed through by someone else! Only this time it wasn't Huang Tianya's hand, it was retail investors. Asian clients are cutting their losses en masse; we can't buy the dip fast enough, and Huang Tianya and his people are buying the dip too."
