Chapter 219: Chapter 170: Don’t Even Think About Eating Meat

The Xu family mansion.

"What? Gao Yuan not only didn’t succumb to Chairman Lu, but she also publicly insulted him and then sent him away?"

Xu Jingsong furrowed his brow.

This was completely different from the script that had been arranged!

Cui Jizhong nodded.

"Indeed, that’s what happened, Chairman Lu was extremely angry over the phone; it seems he is deeply offended.

Oddly enough, news of Changqing Biological’s massive losses and the impending break in its financial chain has already spread out.

I heard that media reporters have even visited the site; they are now in a state of chaos.

Even though a bunch of suppliers have been demanding debt payment, it seems they don’t care at all; their stance appears as if they are headed straight for a fall-out."

"A fall-out? Where does she get the guts?" Xu Jingsong asked, puzzled.

There’s a saying, when you’re broke, the bank is your master.

When you have money, the bank is at your service!

Where does she find the audacity to treat a bank president as a subordinate?

Eliminate all the impossibilities, and the only explanation left is...

"It seems very likely that she has indeed found a solution to the funding issue," Xu Jingsong’s brow furrowed even more.

Chairman Lu’s move was essentially like throwing a stone to probe the road.

Although it did not achieve perfect results, it was almost obvious that the other party had other support.

Since Gao Yuan had taken drastic measures to stabilize the company internally recently, Xu Jingsong never underestimated her.

He would not naïvely think that Gao Yuan was making an insignificant bluff.

"I think so too. I heard that Gao Yuan also made a bold statement in front of all the suppliers.

Demanding payment upfront is fine, full repayment within a week, but they’ll never cooperate afterward."

"One week?"

Xu Jingsong couldn’t believe that Gao Yuan would be foolish enough to make such a bold statement and then have her claim refuted a week later.

"Do you think it’s possible that she could find the funds to save the situation within a week?"

"We can’t exclude this possibility; after all, Changqing Biological’s equity holds some value, but normally, using the funds in such a hurry would definitely require her to pay a significant price."

Xu Jingsong thought for a while, then took out his phone and dialed a private number.

"Hello, Mr. Li! This is Xu Jingsong."

"Ha ha! Yes, it’s been a while. I was thinking about inviting Mr. Li for a golf game in Beijing next time, and see if there are any cooperative projects."

"Ah, yes! Our investment department is actually planning to expand its investment scale.

Moving funds to your Galaxy? Of course, that’s no problem, three to five hundred million, that’s just a word for you, Mr. Li, ha ha..."

Xu Jingsong had laid the groundwork almost enough, then he turned the conversation to the main topic.

"By the way, Mr. Li, there’s something I want to inquire about. Recently, has your Su City branch come into contact with a company called Changqing Biological..."

Xu Jingsong spent half a minute briefly explaining the situation.

After finishing his talk, Mr. Li on the other end of the phone paused briefly.

"Mr. Xu, as you know, we’re supposed to keep client information confidential..."

Mr. Xu smirked.

Brokerage firms keeping client information confidential is just a joke told to the layman.

Not to mention, even a regular account manager can see your account details from the backend, under such rules, confidentiality is laughable.

Some people barely finish opening their account at a brokerage, and then they receive calls and get pulled into group trades...

In the eyes of someone at Xu Jingsong’s level, any area that his network can reach, capital movement is hardly a secret.

As expected, Mr. Li’s tone changed.

"However, I heard that a friend of mine did make an interesting deal recently."

Xu Jingsong immediately smiled.

"Oh? I wonder what this deal was specifically?"

"Well, she invested three hundred million..."

By the time Mr. Li finished explaining, Xu Jingsong’s expression was one of disbelief.

"Three hundred million? Mr. Li, you’re not joking, are you? She actually took three hundred million into the stock market?"

"Correct, and it was even through an offshore account using the Xiangjiang channel to bring in US dollars."

"US dollars?!" Xu Jingsong was shocked again.

Gao Yuan, a woman without power or connections; didn’t he know very well the assets and connections she held?

How could she possibly find three hundred million in funds in such a short time, and from abroad at that?

Could it be that the mastermind behind her directly provided her with these funds?

There was only that explanation!

But... such a large sum?

"Mr. Li, the stock, Chang Chun Biological, I remember it being a leading stock in the healthcare sector, right? Perhaps it recently had some adverse news?" Xu Jingsong inquired curiously.

"Ha ha! Coincidentally, our company is also monitoring this stock, holding about seven or eight hundred million in it."

Mr. Li did not elaborate, but for a brokerage to invest themselves, they must hold high expectations for this stock.

Their own entry was the greatest confidence in the stock.

That meant there were no adverse news recently.

This was strange...

"What? Mr. Xu, you’re not thinking of shorting this stock, are you?"

The implication of Mr. Li’s words was clearly his concern that the Xu Group might also enter the market, making them adversaries.

"Hehe! Why would that be? I am friends with you, Mr. Li, not with that friend of yours."

Xu Jingsong immediately hinted at his hostile relationship with Gao Yuan.

"I see, that’s great then, Mr. Xu. If you’re also interested in this stock, we could exchange more insights. After all, many hands make light work."

Mr. Li said, smiling.

Many hands make light work?

This phrase was basically understood in the industry as one word—bundling!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If the Xu Group could also enter the market and go long on Chang Chun Biological, why wouldn’t Mr. Li welcome such a golden opportunity?

In reality, before major investment institutions invest in stocks, they generally formed alliances and reached an understanding in private.

They would buy in together to drive up the stock price, then, when the timing was right, they would all sell to cut the newbies. It never failed.

Big institutions ate small ones, and small institutions ate retail investors.

And retail investors were always at the bottom of the food chain.

"Hmm... This matter still needs a meeting with the investment department to discuss," Xu Jingsong said, somewhat tempted, but he did not immediately reply.

"Alright then, I’ll wait for the good news from Mr. Xu! Hehe!"

It was clear that the other party didn’t think the deal could be done immediately, so they exchanged a couple more niceties before hanging up.

Xu Jingsong frowned as he put down the phone.

"Three hundred million..." He still pondered the source of these funds.

"Mr. Xu, it’s undeniable that someone powerful is supporting Gao Yuan from behind."

Cui Jizhong had been listening in and felt more excitement than surprise.

A strong enemy is good. If the enemy weren’t strong, wouldn’t it make my repeated failures seem even more incompetent?

"Yes! Those who can suddenly produce 300 million from overseas funds are certainly not a small force.

It appears this woman has already connected with some forces long ago."

Xu Jingsong’s expression grew dark.

"With Gao Yuan’s usual social circle, she couldn’t possibly reach such powerful overseas forces. Yet, the opponent chose to remit money abroad.

This indicates that these forces don’t want to expose their details.

It’s not necessary to be so secretive in a normal cooperation unless...

They want to support Gao Yuan against us, the Xu family, but yet they don’t have the strength to confront us directly..."

Immediately, the suspects had significantly reduced.

"I just can’t figure it out. Gao Yuan received such a huge sum of money, instead of resolving her urgent needs, she went to short Chang Chun Biological..."

What kind of confusing operation is this?

Cui Jizhong thought for a moment, and a light sparked in his eyes.

"Mr. Xu, I think this isn’t hard to guess.

Think about it, 300 million in funds—even if someone wants to support Gao Yuan, they wouldn’t just hand over such a large sum, right?

Predatory loan terms, hedging agreements, or even undisclosed equity acquisitions could all be methods to control Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan has just stepped into the business world, and she’s not good at financial operations.

So shorting Chang Chun Biological could only have been instructed by her backers.

I guess... this might be one of the conditions for lending her the funds!"

Xu Jingsong seemed to understand.

"Are you suggesting... this is actually a Market Maker’s account?"

A Market Maker often operates several, or even dozens or hundreds of accounts, manipulating stock prices by buying and selling to themselves...

Xu Jingsong understood very well the complexities involved.

"It seems that’s the only explanation.

This money is likely a conditional loan; by making money in the stock market, Gao Yuan’s financial issues would naturally be resolved.

Maybe she wouldn’t even need to sell any stock equity...

So, they intend to make a quick profit, and the timeframe... is within a week!"

Xu Jingsong suddenly saw the light!

"How much funds do we have on our accounts now?"

"Hmm... We could come up with 20 billion at most, and with various temporary financing approaches, we could add another 10 billion!"

With 30 billion, if we join hands with Galaxy, the funds available to the buying side could almost exceed 40 billion...

Such a sum could almost secure 10% of Chang Chun Biological’s shares.

Based on circulating stocks, this sum could totally be used to manipulate the market!

Xu Jingsong slightly narrowed his eyes.

If the other party was indeed planning a manipulation.

Then no matter whether the 300 million belonged to Gao Yuan or that hidden hand behind the scenes, he was quite confident in thwarting their operation this time!

When it comes to capital, the Xu Group has never been afraid of anyone!

Not afraid of the hidden hand revealing themselves, just afraid you don’t dare to show up!

From today onwards, whoever stretches out their hand will get it chopped off!

And this was still a sniping plan made from the perspective of ’assuming the enemy’s capability generously’, supposed that the opponent had billions of funds.

If they have overestimated the opposition and this was just a regular market investment by the opponent, then even better!

With Mr. Li’s cooperation, it wouldn’t take a week to make the opponents cut their losses and leave!

If you don’t let me have the meat, then you can’t have it either!

"Go! Convene the investment department for a meeting; tomorrow morning, I want to see your investment report!"
