Chapter 729: Countering the Hedging Master Wei Rusi

"The time is just right, why don't we go and share a moment of passion?"

Zheng Qian said impatiently as soon as he got into the car.

His left hand gripped the steering wheel, while his right hand habitually rested on the black stockings of the passenger seat.

Because the climate in Yebai is cold, Xu Shuyun was wearing thick black stockings.

This texture was excellent, a completely different experience from the sheer variety.

While driving, Zheng Qian looked around, searching for a suitable "battlefield."

Xu Shuyun's heart was pounding, and she was terrified by Zheng Qian.

"I beg you, Qian, I really can't," she said, blushing and tightly pressing down on Zheng Qian's scorching palm, which kept moving upward.

"You solved the material problem, but I still need to go to the company today to make arrangements. It's almost the end of the year, and we can't delay the orders..."

Feeling her trembling body, Zheng Qian could only sigh and withdraw his wolf claws.

It seems Xu Shuyun needs to be brought to Shanghu as soon as possible.

She must be handed over to Wei Rusi for proper training; she can't be this fragile.

"How long are you going to stay in Yebai recently?"

"Probably a few days, depending on how things are resolved."

Hearing that Zheng Qian wasn't leaving immediately, Xu Shuyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's great.

After dropping Xu Shuyun off at the company, Zheng Qian set off for his next destination.

Headquarters of the Shanghai Americas Club.

For the past few days, Shang Yizhou has been in a state of chaos.

He never imagined that his most valued eldest son, Shang Yanxiong, would leave him such a mess.

Now the entire club was in chaos, and everyone's face was filled with gloom.

Miserable, miserable, truly miserable.

Out of a total of 215 member companies, Qianlu Group had already taken over 152 listed companies, most of which were privatized and collectively delisted from Shanghu.

This turbulent trend quickly caused panic throughout the stock market, leading to a plunge in the Shanghu Index.

If it hadn't been for the relevant authorities stepping in and interviewing Wei Rusi and the others, these companies might have all delisted collectively.

The consequences would not have been limited to just the Shanghai Americas Club.

The entire Jiuzhou stock market would have faced a black swan event.

No, not just one black swan.

It would have been a flock of black swans.

Wei Rusi's goal was certainly not to target the Jiuzhou stock market; her target was only the limited Shanghai Americas Club.

Therefore, while she initiated delisting procedures for the "Shanghe International" group companies she bought, she was heavily buying stocks from "other systems" on the other side.

She was also arranging for some unlisted companies of the Chunshen Club to go public.

Only then did it stop causing further volatility in the Shanghu Index.

Instead, through her series of operations, the broad market index began to rise continuously, making the stockholders overjoyed.

In fact, of the 152 Shanghai Americas Club companies she bought, only 80 were listed in Shanghu, while the remaining 72 were listed on NASDAQ.

After all, since they had been bought, they belonged to Qianlu Group.

In the DNA of Qianlu Group, there is no such thing as going public.

Most importantly, Wei Rusi's methods didn't stop there.

She was even shorting Shanghe International.

We all know that [shorting] is a thankless job.

If you win, you don't make much money.

If you lose, there's no limit; you can lose money endlessly, lose until you go bankrupt, and lose until you lose your life.

Because the purpose of shorting is to make the other party's stock price fall; if the other party has strong financial resources and keeps the stock rising, that would be truly miserable.

But who is Wei Rusi?

And how much capital does she hold in her hands?

"How much capital did Qianlu Group use to short us?"

Shang Yizhou, whose heart was already weak, found this frustrating situation to be nothing short of a bolt from the blue.

It took him a while to recover before he could speak.

"5 billion USD, and they are still selling."

General Manager Shang Xinlan's voice was trembling.

Shang Yizhou closed his eyes slightly, trying his best to keep his composure.

Between his brows, one could faintly see the look of this old fox when he used to strategize.

Unfortunately, fists fear the young and strong, especially a monster like Zheng Qian.

Throwing out 5 billion USD to short a stock can no longer be described as just fierce.

It was simply a real-life version of Final Destination.

He never dreamed that anyone would dare to confront them head-on.

This was about shorting one of the top super-large groups in Shanghu, a super giant.

It was clear that the other party had started preparing a long time ago.

Not only by purchasing their stocks through various channels, but there were also a series of subsequent measures; this was foreseeable.

"If I'm not mistaken, the other side is about to start a media offensive."

"This Wei Rusi came from the United States and must have learned quite a few tricks from Muddy Waters."

"She must hold quite a lot of our dirt, throwing it out one by one until the stock price continues to fall, hmph!"

"She shouldn't be called a banker, but a capitalist!"

"Shorting us on one side and going long on the broad market index on the other—a well-played hedge."

"But I will make sure your money never comes back."

"No matter how much money you dump in, you will eventually lose everything."

"You must have borrowed a lot of stocks from private equity..."

Shang Yizhou was, after all, an old fox seasoned by the business world.

Although he was old, he still understood these financial methods very well.

He even anticipated some of Wei Rusi's ideas in advance!

His eyes flashed with a strong, sharp look.

"Hmph, I have been retired for many years, do you really think I'm a sick cat?"

"General Manager Shang Xinlan, you go immediately and notify all the media to be cautious about reporting unfavorable content about our group, and at the same time, announce a few positive developments."

"Also, go contact Qianfeng Xianhang Capital. I remember they have a headquarters in Shanghu."

"I'll go see a few old friends while I'm at it."

Having received clear instructions from Shang Yizhou, General Manager Shang Xinlan felt much more at ease.

Especially Qianfeng Xianhang Capital; this capital group is not ordinary.

Perhaps not everyone knows it well, but that doesn't prevent it from being one of the most badass capital groups on this planet.

Of course, because of the dirty blood flowing in its bones, it is also relatively infamous to some extent.

What has it invested in?

Let's just give one example: Japan's "Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant."

Yes, Qianfeng Xianhang Capital is a major shareholder of this nuclear power plant.

To do this kind of business, it's not just about having money.

Without strong backing, or even political leverage, it would be impossible to achieve.

This kind of global asset management giant is simply a ruthless predator that eats people without blinking.

Today, Huo Muyan is a bit nervous.

Although she can be considered an internationally well-known designer.

But in fact, few people know that she also loves ancient-style hand-drawing and has always been longing to create her own Hanfu brand.

After finishing the art work for "neon Summer," she rested at home for a while.

During this time, she learned about the [dream origin god] mobile game, saw the art style in some advertisements, and was immediately delighted.

She also learned through some channels that there was a very powerful investor in Shanghu behind this game.

This mobile game was built to be a national-level mobile game.

Plus, the game team collected a wave of costume designs for game characters in a small circle.

Huo Muyan tried submitting anonymously.

After several rounds of selection, she actually won!

She thought this was a very good opportunity; if she could create influence through this game, she could take advantage of the momentum to establish her Hanfu brand, and everything would be logical!

Moreover, the content of other ancient-style games on the market is truly unbearable to look at.

Many of the existing costumes are very vulgar, and she feels they go against her own style.

This game is very good, has a lot of class, and is very beautiful.

She is tired of designing for those luxury giants and is determined to make Hanfu a trend as well.

Starting from [dream origin god]!

Today!

The boss of dream origin god, Xu Huateng, actually intends to meet her in person.

This made Huo Muyan very excited.

It is said that this person secured tens of billions in investment, so he must be extraordinary.

"I'll ask him to invest in my Hanfu brand then; it's simply perfect."

"I am such a little genius, hee hee."

Huo Muyan looked very calm on the outside, but she was beaming with joy on the inside.

She arrived at the designated location at the designated time.

But...

This restaurant is really too down-to-earth, right?

She originally thought it would be some bourgeois cafe, western restaurant, or at least a teahouse!

She never expected that she would end up at "Loving Yebai People Beef Restaurant"!
