Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 1020 Haze (4k)

In response to the final ruling of the ITC and the short-selling of relevant agencies, it is a difficult problem how to deal with it more effectively and make profits on a larger scale, regardless of the current management seal of the world's best president.

Even Fang Zhuo can only list a piece of A4 paper.

Among them, it is an important job to make a fuss about his number of fans approaching the top ten on Twitter.

Fang Zhuo had invested in Twitter before, and he also took Twitter as a focus when building the Android software ecosystem. Of course, Twitter has lived up to its supposed brilliance in the mobile Internet era.

As of May 2009, Twitter has nearly 5 million users, and the account with the most fans is Lady Gaga, with a total of 1.5 million fans.

Fang Zhuo’s account has 452 million fans, ranking No.11, ahead of him are celebrities such as Oprah, Taylor, Kardashian, Ellen, Xiao Ao, and Justin.

Compared with these celebrities, the number of times he uses Twitter is actually not frequent. The most ferocious increase in followers comes from the Yike short squeeze incident.

This is also the case. In May, the media used the breakthrough of "the king of retail investors" to discredit and dispel it, so as to avoid any accidents.

If there are no accidents, there will often be accidents.

Fang Zhuo did have a little understanding of public opinion, and after noticing the irrational market sentiment of the "King of Retail Investors", he quickly decided to coerce ordinary investors, but... a little understanding is just a little understanding.

Who is the person who understands and uses the US Internet best?
Who is called the leader of the Internet?

It's Shiyi Hao's president!
They are the most professional!
This time, they not only want to use their power to make money, but they also have to be upright... More importantly, they want to use their professional ability to make money in secret!

Lu Peining and the others took over part of the public opinion division of labor, and personally rectified the names of retail investors.

However, they still have doubts about the effect that retail investors can be coerced into. Although Mr. Fang has tried to force hedge funds to retreat in other stocks, this time Yike faces different negative factors and opponents. Retail investors Where is the boundary of action?
Fang Zhuo is more confident than Lu Peining and others. Retail investors have been suffering from institutions for a long time, and the Internet platform has given them the opportunity to fight against each other.

The most famous American retail investors are the grouping of short-selling institutions on the game station GME to squeeze short.

In a week, GME’s stock price soared 8 times, and after being mixed by Musk, this number was increased to 12 times. The upper and lower limit of the stock price within a year was 27 times. It became a carnival for retail investors, and finally forced institutions to stop Do not use the means of unplugging the network cable or shutting down the server.

Melvin Capital, a well-known hedge fund with more than US$130 billion in management funds, suffered huge losses in this battle, which indirectly led to the final liquidation and redemption.

This is not the end yet. The fate of short-selling institutions has caused retail investors who realized the power of grouping to move to stocks such as AMC, Blackberry, Kodak, and Nokia, as well as markets such as silver and Bitcoin.

Of course, there are gains and losses, and the retail camp is gradually changing.

What Fang Zhuo has to do now is to let everyone try to have fun.

After the announcement of the ITC ruling, the release of reports by several media, the sudden change of Microsoft’s mind, and the appearance of institutions to express their opinions, YIKE stock fell 6.3% in the opening hour. By 13:141.28 noon, the stock price had fallen from $118.69 to $15.99, creating The largest drop since listing was [-]%.

Seeing that the stock price plummeted, Yike officially announced the company's response - to expand the stock repurchase plan, and the major shareholder Fang Zhuo planned to lend 10 billion US dollars, which was earmarked for the company's repurchase.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, YIKE's stock price closed down and rebounded to $122.48.

From 09:30 to 53.7 o'clock, in four and a half hours, Yike's market value evaporated by 13.3 billion, and the stock price still plummeted by [-]%.

At the same time, Fang Zhuo's tweet has received 40 likes, and #Everyone is the king of retail investors# has also become a hot word on Twitter.

Some people are reposting Mr. Fang’s Twitter, some are analyzing the situation of Yike, some are complaining about the greed of institutions, and some are talking about the financial crisis that is still affecting... There are all kinds of emotions surrounding Yike, which has successfully squeezed shorts, being shorted again In the spread, Yi Ke and Fang Zhuo once again became a hot topic on the Internet.

Yike's stock price continued to fall firmly amidst the shock.

Online platforms such as Twitter and Facebook are discussing the situation of the previous round and this round.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, YIKE's stock price fell below $120 again.

This trend situation finally let the institutions that made a lot of short money breathe a sigh of relief.

In particular, Paulson, the king of short selling, has completely dispelled the inexplicable haze in his heart!

confidence!Confidence is finally back!

Yike is just an ordinary mobile phone company!

He just took advantage of the loophole last time!
There is no need to bear so much pressure!
Looking at the stock price of YIKE, Paulson was in a good mood. He updated his tweets that he had been outputting for a while, and said contemptuously: "Yike's stock price is far from bottoming out. I think it is only worth 50 billion US dollars. The above It's all bubbles."

The world's largest Android phone brand is only worth $50 billion?
The rising star who forced Nokia to team up with Microsoft is only worth $50 billion?
A company that has to let Samsung patent and learn from its experience is only worth $50 billion?
Yike has more than 2000 million mobile phone users around the world, many of whom pay attention to Yike's financial experience.

Quite a few of them were irritated by Paulson's words.

Joseph, a programmer who majored in finance and then changed careers, directly raged under Paulson's Twitter: Paulson, do you know what you are talking about?Can you say that Yike is only worth 50 billion US dollars?Greed is a sin, Mr. Fang is really right.

Seeing the phrase "greed is a sin", Paulson recalled the loss in the previous round, and interacted with this ordinary passerby: Is there anything wrong with my words?Let Fang Zhuo continue to say that greed is a sin, see if it works?
Joseph was extremely angry and sent several tweets, and angrily appealed: The financial crisis is not over yet, and the greed of these institutions has resurfaced. They violated the rules and laws, and the SEC turned a blind eye to it. Expose it, they forcibly suppress the stock price for profit, and damage the interests of ordinary people. They can snipe, and we can snipe too!Unite! #Everyone is the king of retail investors#
He continued to appeal: We can buy Yike's stock, as long as we buy one share, we only need to buy one share, and as long as we hold it in our hands, Yike's stock price will be pulled up, and these bastards will be punished! #Everyone is the king of retail investors#
Is the appeal of an ordinary passerby useful?
Something magic happened.

it works.

An appeal from an unknown passer-by was suddenly widely forwarded and commented on.

"These bastard establishments have me on the streets!"

"Let them die!"

"Eco shares are going up!"

"Is it really okay to only buy one share?"

"How could it be useful? Yike's stock price has fallen so hard!"

"Buy, it's just one share anyway! I'll try it! What's the big deal!"

The content of many comments gradually became consistent-buy a share, buy a share!
Just when such public opinion emerged, Yike Company announced the end of the pre-sale and started the supply in the global market ahead of schedule.

Ten minutes later, Yike released the news again that it is negotiating with AT&T, the largest telecom operator in the United States, and is expected to reach a two-year cooperation this month, but AT&T did not deny this statement.

This undoubtedly injects confidence into the market prospect of Yike products.

In March of this year, Verizon, the second largest operator in the United States, removed Echo mobile phones ahead of schedule, interrupted the cooperation between the two parties, and hooked up with Samsung instead.

Now, after leaving a second child, it is expected to have a boss, which is undoubtedly an important supplement.

It was 03:30 in the afternoon, and Yike's stock price fell to $115.89.

Fang Zhuo, who updated his Twitter in the morning, reappeared and reposted programmer Joseph's attack on the organization.

Immediately, Joseph shared a new discovery. Coincidentally, he discovered a free stock trading platform app that is easy to open an account.

Fang Zhuo liked it again and reposted it. Coincidentally, this is an Android app called Freetrade that was launched earlier this month.

Brand-new platform, free of transaction fees, no analysts, simple and convenient operation, and exchange of operating experience.

The Twitter popularity of Fang Zhuo and Joseph continued to soar, and many people began to try to download Freetrade.

The brand new app is also skyrocketing in the Android App Store.

The retail slogans on Twitter have shown a trend of spreading, and even began to cross over to Facebook.

"Buy a share, punish the institution!"

"Buy a share, punish the institution!"

Not to support Yike, but to punish those greedy short sellers!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yike's stock price closed at $117.36, a 16.9% drop throughout the day, and was immediately dubbed "Yike's Plunge", "Yike's Bubble Burst", and "Yike's Collapse" by many media, but they did not report it. Diffuse Internet public opinion.

Fang Zhuo updated Twitter again at this time, citing a proverb from the "Old Testament": An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
He didn't mention Yike stock, nor did he mention "buy a share". From morning to afternoon, he responded to the media and criticized short sellers.

As for how to fight back, ordinary passers-by are quickly groping for a way.

Nasdaq closed on Monday, but ordinary investors, navy soldiers and Fang Zhuo did not close.

Fang Zhuo started intensive homework and liked related emotional expressions.

More and more people are flocking to the Freetrade app.

There are no analysts here, but what analysts do retail investors want, don’t talk about company value, rational investment, and long-term transactions.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the programmer Joseph announced on Twitter that he had set up a website called "Go die", which was dedicated to discussing the grouping of retail investors.

To this end, he updated his Twitter line by line and published his appeal to the institutions.

"Because of your greed on Wall Street, because of your horribly illegal financial decisions, the lives of millions of people have been changed, and thousands of lives have been taken to the streets, and you have been bailed out and rewarded!"

"I used my savings to buy food, and paid the rent with my credit card. You stand in the bright and bright office and point and point, unscrupulous!"

"I would rather not pay the rent anymore and use the rent money to buy more YIKE stocks!"

"This is my personal decision, and it will be the decision of more people. You can suppress Yike's stock price to $117 within a few hours, and you can suppress it even lower, but I will not run away."

"You can use the media to smear me, vilify me, attack me, but I don't care!"

"I want to buy Yike stock, and I will do everything I can to make you suffer!"

"More people will unite, the SEC will not punish you, we will punish you!"

"Death to the institution!"

"#Everyone is the king of retail investors#"

Joseph established the website "Go die" to discuss how to unite and spread the word, to boost morale and to focus on institutional dynamics.

Concept, punishment institution.

Organizations, Twitter, Facebook, Go die website.

Program, eat one less meal, buy one more stock, and the agency persuades me to quit, I would rather die than accept it.

The mainstream media did not report the public opinion on the Internet. They were mostly analyzing and discussing Yike’s plunge today. They believed that the suppression of multiple negative factors would cause YIK to fall further tomorrow, and Yike’s current release of early sales and channels Negotiations are of unknown effect.

The main reason is that a loan from a large shareholder is somewhat helpful, but Fang Zhuo's own funds cannot stop the pessimism in the market.

Big institutions were rejoicing, not satisfied with Yike's only 16.9% drop, looking forward to a strong harvest the next day.

But there are also a few people who have noticed the dynamics on the Internet, and gradually worry in their hearts. This kind of joke-style "buy a share" will not really work, right?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, retail investors will never be united, and they will flee if they diverge.

This has been tried and tested in the past.

Celebrate the celebration, open the champagne.

However, Paulson, who has been habitually logged into Twitter lately, was somewhat startled after dinner.

He found that almost every time he refreshed Twitter, he could see slogans such as "buy a share" or "punish institutions" or "everyone is the king of retail investors".

Paulson tried to download the Freetrade app, followed the prompts to complete the registration within one minute, and bought a share of YIKE without commission in another 1 seconds.

Nasdaq allows pre-market and after-market trading outside normal trading hours. There is no unit limit and no price limit. However, usually the trading volume is not high and the liquidity is not strong. After-hours trading is mostly retail investors.

Paulson saw that the discussion section of Freetrade was extremely active, and some people sold commemorative T-shirts of the "King of Retail Investors" in it, claiming that if they bought 10 shares of YIKE, they would get a free T-shirt worth $99.

"I am a fund bankruptcy manager. Last month I sold 'Fang Zong Shorts' and this month I sold 'The King of Retail Investors'. "

"Brothers, don't talk about big truths with greedy and shameless things like institutions, let's go together as a group!"

The bankrupt fund manager who once flew to Shanghai to get an account number is very active on Internet platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Freetrade, and Go die. He enthusiastically sells commemorative T-shirts and crusades against shameless institutions with righteous indignation.

"Institutions are greedy, shameless and despicable, I know it best! Because I came out of it!"

Looking at the remarks of his former colleagues, Paulson felt that even though he changed jobs, he still hadn't shaken off his shameless habit.

He put down his phone, considered the development of the situation, and subconsciously looked at the stock price of YIKE again.

Usually, during the after-hours trading period when the trading volume is not high, the liquidity is not strong, and most of the retail transactions are dominated, the stock price of Yike suddenly jumped to 120 US dollars.

Unknowingly, Yike's stock price has risen by 2.25% after the market, returning to the $120 mark!

Paulson's heart beat faster, and his mouth suddenly felt parched.

He picked up his mobile phone and quickly sold the one share of YIKE he bought with Freetrade just now, resolutely not being with the kings of retail investors, as if this would get rid of the haze that reappeared in his heart.
