Beep, beep, beep…

Lin Yi didn’t tell Zhao Mo the truth. He hung up after saying that.

This caused the expressions of Zhao Mo and the others to turn extremely ugly.

He wanted to play with Lin Yi, but he didn’t expect him to already be prepared!

“Zhao Bro, that Lin Yi guy seems to have been waiting for you,” Sun Ce said. “We’ve underestimated him.”

“He’s just an arrow at the end of its flight. Don’t listen to his posturing,” Lu Xuan said.

Zhao Mo felt that something was wrong. He waved his hand and called Fu Zhengyi over.

“How’s the situation now?”

“We dumped another three billion or so, but the Lingyun Group seems to have already absorbed it.”

“Continue dumping. Throw out all 10 billion now. I want to see if he can take it.”

“Got it, Director Zhao.”

“Brother Zhao, don’t panic,” Sun Ce said with a smile.

“You have 164 million shares. Altogether, it’s about 40 billion. Even if he kills himself in exhaustion, he still won’t be able to absorb it all. Calm down.”

“Let’s go. We’ll probably have to play this short-selling game for a while. We can’t stay here forever. Let’s find a place to relax,” Gu Changchuan said.

“I’m not yet panicking.” Zhao Mo said, “I’ve been in Yanjing for so many years. If I’m inferior to him, I’m not worthy of being called Zhao Mo.”

“Then don’t fuss about this. You just have to give the orders in real-time. Leave the rest to your subordinates.”

Zhao Mo nodded. “Let’s go. I recently found a good hot spring place to soak. I’ll bring you there.”

“Let’s go.”

…

That night, all the big and small companies in Huaxia’s financial industry noticed this unprecedented financial war.

They were also paying close attention to this matter, waiting to see who would win.

In the CEO’s office of CITIC Group.

Liang Cunxiao pushed the door open and entered. He found his wife sitting at her desk, staring intently at her computer.

“What are you looking at? Why are you so focused?”

Shen Shuyi smiled and turned the laptop around.

“Lin Yi and Zhao Mo’s short-selling battle has begun,” Shen Shuyi said. “Based on the current situation, Zhao Mo has dumped almost 82 million shares and used up more than 20 billion in cash.”

“That many?” Liang Cunxiao said, “What about Lin Yi? How’s the situation?”

“For the time being, his results are not bad. He absorbed all of it, but the price he paid is slightly higher.”

“How so.”

“Other than Zhao Mo’s 82 million shares, some retail investors also sold their shares. If converted to yuan, it amounts to about a billion.”

“It doesn’t seem like much. The impact shouldn’t be too great.”

Although he and Liang Ruoxu weren’t even close yet, Liang Cunxiao had already subconsciously joined Lin Yi’s side.

“This is just the beginning. There’s still a long way to go before the real show starts,” Shen Shuyi said, “The burden will be on Lin Yi later.”

“Are you afraid that Lin Yi won’t have enough funds?”

Shen Shuyi nodded. “I believe that with Lin Yi’s ability, he should have prepared to fork out the money in advance, but this money should only be enough to fight Zhao Mo. If he announces his ident.i.ty as the general manager of Huayin Group, it will definitely cause the shareholders to sell crazily. This might be the turning point.”

“Other than that, Muddy Waters hasn’t shown their cards yet. If Lin Yi doesn’t prepare a countermeasure, countless bits of negative news will ambush on him. He won’t be able to resist it either.”

Liang Cunxiao took out a cigarette. Seeing this, Shen Shuyi took out a clean ashtray from the drawer and sat with him.

“Let’s not talk about Muddy Waters first. Zhao Mo’s stocks alone are enough to make Lin Yi suffer.”

“Yeah, you’re not wrong.”

Shen Shuyi combed her hair and said, “He recently fully acquired Didi. He probably doesn’t have much money on hand. After this, he wanted to do some charity to build up a positive reputation to increase Didi’s stock value. But in the end, in order to express his att.i.tude toward me, he gave the credit to CITIC, so he won’t have much cash on hand. I’m guessing the money in his hands now should have come from a mortgage.”

“Mortgage?”

“Longxin has developed Chip 2.0 technology that is comparable to Intel’s. It has already become a new favorite in the technology industry, so its value will naturally rise. He can easily offer it in exchange for 40 billion yuan in the bank. If Zhao Mo doesn’t stop after spending this 40 billion yuan is used up, things will be difficult.”

“Did Little Mi call you?” Liang Cunxiao asked.

“She called a few times.” Shen Shuyi smiled and said, “But I ignored her.”

“What kind of mother are you?”

“I just want to see how far Lin Yi can go,” Shen Shuyi said, “Lin Yi doesn’t want anyone to interfere, and I don’t plan to either. It’s more interesting this way.”

“You just want to know if he can reach Lin Jingzhan’s level.”

Shen Shuyi smiled. “You can say that.”

“In any case, I don’t care. If Little Mi is unhappy in the future, don’t blame me. This has nothing to do with me. I won’t take the bullet for you.”

“What kind of person are you? You run faster than anyone else when something happens.”

“Because I’d rather die on the battlefield than have a grain of rice torture me to death.”

“Wow, is this something our Colonel Liang should say?” Shen Shuyi said sourly.

“Why shouldn’t I say it?” Liang Cunxiao said.

“It’s been like this ever since I was young. Whenever something happened, you would push all the responsibility away. In the end, after my father scolded me, my mother would come to scold me too. After the two of them scolded me, my father-in-law and mother-in-law would also join in and start to educate me. Do you think this kind of life is easy for me?”

“Alright, alright.” Shen Shuyi held Liang Cunxiao’s face. “It’s been hard on our Colonel Liang. When we get home tonight, I’ll personally cook for you .”

“Don’t give me that sugar-coated sh*t. It won’t work.”

“I’ll let you have half a gla.s.s more.”

“It’s useless. How can I be tempted by you? Do you think all my years of experience are just for show?”

“Liang Cunxiao, are you really that shameless?”

Liang Cunxiao was speechless.

…

Splash…

In Jiuzhou Pavilion, Lin Yi poked his head out of the pool. His tall figure and eight-pack abs were obvious.

Ji Qingyan sat at the edge of the pool, but she was wearing a floral dress and had no intention of swimming.

At this moment, beside her, was a small round table with a laptop on it. The screen showed the fluctuations of the stock market.

Although the situation was generally stable, Ji Qingyan felt that this was indeed a picture of danger lurking behind every corner.

Every decline indicated the possibility of a crushing defeat.

“How can you still be in the mood to swim at a time like this?” asked Ji Qingyan.

“There’s nothing to do at this time. There’s nothing we can do but throw away money. What’s there to be anxious about?”

“But you have to keep an eye on things.”

“There’s no need to pay attention to that. I’ve already guessed the general outcome. I don’t care about the process.”
