Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 994 There is not much time left for the bears (4k)

On Wednesday, Nasdaq once again announced short positions.

This time, Fang Zhuo's position was considered complete. "A Little Expensive" immediately began to check and prepare before the flight. Kong Yu verified his judgment with official data, and quickly perfected the final details.

As for Yu Hong, she is the person in charge of the US market who is deeply involved in patent disputes, and she can finally concentrate all her energy on the company's series of responses.

The vortex in the financial market is often a series of numbers, and the disputes in patent competition are mostly a line of clauses.

But the terminal is the core, and after the turmoil of finance and patents, the performance of the market is the long-term solution.

Yu Hong hopes to use the changes in the future to win better development for Yike Company. Factors such as Nokia, Microsoft, Oracle, Verizon and Samsung are unavoidable and need to be resolved one by one.

The short position of 42.12 billion US dollars proves that the institution is not optimistic about Yike in all aspects. Compared with 18.2 billion a month ago, the capital scale has increased by 2.31 times, accounting for 15.6% of the total equity.

This data satisfies Fang Zhuo, but it undoubtedly becomes another evidence of the decline in public opinion.

Even Goldman Sachs is not good at speaking out of conscience now, and quietly adjusted the rating of Yike stock from "buy" to "hold". The reason is just a simple sentence-"Obviously, Yike is facing challenges .”

Of course, according to Fang Zhuo's malicious speculation, this may prove that Goldman Sachs also has hedge funds involved, and it has to respect the prospect of greater interests.

Also, as the petrol man said, it's pure.

From Wednesday to Friday, for three consecutive trading days, Yike’s stock price has fallen from a high of 96.46 to below $90, and the strength of the main force to take orders is getting weaker and weaker. serious problem.

At the same time, Twitter continued to be silent and did not accept media interviews. Some reporters have already carried out special reports based on various situations and information.

For example, "From the Second Best in the World to the Second Worst in the World", "The Loss of Yike", "The Dilemma of the Dark Horse in the Industry"...

It has to be said that Yike, the first mobile phone to launch a selfie commercial function, has indeed brought influence among mobile phone consumers. What's more, it has been the leader in the Android camp for the past two years, and its rapid growth has already been called Industry miracle.

The end of a miracle always makes people feel inexplicable.

The preliminary ruling of the sale ban, the hostility of the world's giants, the confrontation of short-selling institutions, the abandonment of partners, the tightening of the capital chain, the decline of the secondary market... It is only natural for Yike to end in this situation.

In other words, if you don't die, who will die?

On the morning of Friday, April 4th, Fang Zhuo sorted out the materials he used for research and recreation while flying, and planned to take off to return home at 17:03 in the afternoon.

However, at ten o'clock, the secretary Liu Zonghong reported that the itinerary of the private jet was leaked on the Internet.

"Did it leak unintentionally or were the media tabloids watching?" Fang Zhuo was a little surprised, but he didn't care too much. "Let's leak it, and I won't be shot down now."

It's hard for Liu Zonghong to say, if he has to change himself, he might be in a hurry.

Out of safety considerations, he still suggested: "Since it has been leaked, let Boss Kong wait for us to fly to the domestic airspace before releasing the news."

Fang Zhuo gave a "hmm" and acquiesced to this approach.

Liu Zonghong immediately contacted Mr. Kong, he knew Mr. Kong was eager to try today.

After a while, Fang Zhuo found that the number of media calls to contact him increased again, which was obviously affected by the leakage of the itinerary.

He hadn't made a sound for a few days before, but now that there is new news, he is returning to Huaxia, and he still doesn't know how to speculate.

Almost none of the calls were answered, but the reporter of the "Huaxia Securities News" who arrived in New York for a few days but was also declined to be interviewed pressed the number.

"Mr. Fang, I heard that you are going back to China. I wonder if we can take a chance to go back together?" The reporter Tao Ruohong avoided the words of the interview.

It's just that, just by hearing it, you know what the real purpose is.

Fang Zhuo was relieved at this time, and said with a smile: "I am an old friend of the Securities Journal, so there is nothing wrong with taking a chance. Come to the hotel directly after lunch."

Tao Ruohong was overjoyed. Before coming here, she thought that she would be able to interview Mr. Fang smoothly by relying on her connections from China, but she didn't expect that the treatment would be equal. Now hearing the tone, it seems that there is hope for an exclusive interview again.

She thanked Mr. Fang and told the detailed number of people. She and the photographer took the flight back to China together.

The domestic reporter's call ended.

Fang Zhuo thought about the leakage of the itinerary, and then called Lu Peining to let him know that Yike's stock price has not been supported too strongly these days. Right, the stock price is no longer important.

When Lu Peining received a call from Mr. Fang, because there was a cryptic notice before, he immediately guessed what might happen, and asked, "Will there be any good news?"

"It will be there in two days." Fang Zhuo moved the time back, which is not wrong.

Lu Peining believes in and respects professionals.

The rest of the morning was spent thinking, and lunch was with Mr. Yu. The two didn't talk too much, but only talked about a new benefit for global employees that will be released at work in the afternoon.

Part of the stock repurchased by Yike previously will be used as employee incentives, which can be regarded as a steady challenge to the morale of the army in front of it.

Normally, the company's repurchased stock is either canceled or used as treasury stock. The latter no longer distributes dividends and does not have voting rights, but it can be used to reward employees. It is the right time for Yike now.

Before leaving, Yu Hong asked about the arrangement: "When will you come back?"

"Depend on your mood, wait until they invite me back." Fang Zhuo said with a smile.

Yu Hong nodded: "If it's after the Samsung press conference, then communicate online."

This month, there is a new machine launch from Samsung, which is said to be extremely heavy.

Fang Zhuo agreed.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Rolls-Royce, which had not moved for several days, picked up two reporters from the Securities News and set off from the hotel to the airport.

However, just after the car drove for a while, Liu Zonghong said: "President Fang, there is a car following behind, it may be someone from the media."

"The media was very enthusiastic and sent me off specially." Fang Zhuo laughed.

Reporter Tao Ruohong saw that Mr. Fang was in a good mood, and said boldly: "Mr. Fang, I heard that you are going back to China by plane. Someone on Twitter has already seen you off. Andrew, the Wall Street bounty hunter, said 'Farewell, Mr. Fang', Some fund managers said, 'Welcome Mr. Fang again'."

Fang Zhuo sighed slightly, but did not express his opinion.

That's it, he has no passion to communicate with these people on the Internet.

Tao Ruohong didn't wait for Mr. Fang's evaluation, so she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

But she remained patient. Since she was able to ride the Qingzi together, she could find some valuable information along the way.

The convoy moves forward.

The vehicle suspected of being the media followed obediently behind.

All the way to the airport, the car behind finally speeded up, lowered the window, and revealed its identity. It turned out to be the reporter team of the big newspaper "New York Daily News".

Fang Zhuo thought for a while, and signaled the driver to stop by the side of the road.

Just less than one kilometer away from the airport, the American media finally interviewed the head of Yike, who had not shown up recently.

The news reporter didn't waste time, got out of the car, saw Mr. Fang didn't get out of the car, and squatted by the door with the microphone directly, so that Mr. Fang didn't need to look up at himself, and then asked: "Mr. Fang, I heard that you are going back to Huaxia. is that true?"

Fang Zhuo nodded, confirming the accuracy of the news.

The reporter asked again: "Mr. Fang, do you need to go to China to raise funds?"

Fang Zhuo shook his head, guessing wrong.

The reporter asked again: "Mr. Fang, do you still firmly believe that there is no bubble in Yike's stock price?"

Fang Zhuo still didn't answer, just laughed.

The reporter was a little helpless, why didn't he ask three consecutive questions?

He decided to let the head of Yike play freely: "Mr. Fang, we all know that Yike has encountered many situations during this period of time. You are about to return to China now. What do you want to say?"

"What do you want to say?" Fang Zhuo finally opened his mouth, and after pondering, he said slowly, "I have actually said a lot during this period, whether it is on the news channel or on the Twitter platform, and even a lot of words have been compiled into quotations .”

"I did have a lot to say, but my words were always taken out of context."

"At the moment when it's time to leave, I don't have anything to say. I just want to hear what they want to say to me."

Hear what they want to say to you?
The reporter immediately followed up: "Mr. Fang, we can put this on Twitter, and now we can see what they want to tell you."

Fang Zhuo smiled and waved his hands: "No, I'll wait until I get to Huaxia to see, that's it, don't follow me anymore."

The squatting reporter made a small request: "Then can I take a photo of you?"

Fang Zhuo waved his hand by the car window, thinking it was unnecessary.

But the reporter took advantage of the situation and took this picture.

Rolls-Royce and the team moved on.

The reporter of "New York Daily News" stopped following the interview, and began to think about the emotions in the information revealed by the head of Yike.

Yike ended, Mr. Fang was no longer proud, and wanted to hear other people's voices?
It didn't seem to be the case, Mr. Fang spoke quite calmly.

This interview may only be a newsletter, but the photos are still worthwhile—the airport is in the distance, Mr. Fang in the car just waved his hands, his face full of downcast seriousness.

The news reporter simply sorted out the content, took out his mobile phone, opened Twitter, and posted a piece of content and a new photo.

——President Fang is about to return to China, what do you want to say to him?
The reporter posted the first comment: Mr. Fang said it himself. He has nothing to say, but just wants to hear what you guys want to say to him.

Exclusive photos + exclusive responses + confirmed news.

This is not very suitable for the long-winded "New York Daily News", but it is suitable for the short and fast of Twitter.

Just when the Qingzi took off from Kennedy Airport at 03:30 in the afternoon, American friends carried out an enthusiastic farewell activity on the media platform.

How high-profile Mr. Fang was before, but now he flies away so silently.

Coupled with the continuous decline of Yike's stock price, it is too topical!

——Short comment on Mr. Fang, he lost the courage to face up to the problem.

—Come on, I know you need to lick your wounds.

——Leaving this time, I don’t know when I will see you again. I hope I can short you next time.

——Boss Fang abandoned Yi Ke.

——Fang Zhuo is right, he made Yi Ke, but now he also destroyed Yi Ke.

——Boss Fang flew away, and he only left Rich.

There are also netizens who keenly dug out Mr. Fang's last post on the Internet, not on Twitter, but on Quora, a question-and-answer community.

——Fang Zhuo paid attention to the question: What is the state after bankruptcy?

This dynamic was too funny, and it directly set off a wave of spreading.

Including some media, some short-selling institutions, and many people who eat melons are giving advice, sharing their experiences, and encouraging Mr. Fang.

If the boss is down and out, he won't go bankrupt, right?
How much money was borrowed, or how tight the capital chain was?

Cheerful vibes spread on Twitter.

Mr. Fang left, but Lezi stayed behind.

This atmosphere lasted until 10:30 in the evening, when Yike suddenly held a press conference.

The media made an appointment in advance and postponed it until the evening, but the reporters attending the meeting did not know what to announce at such an unconventional time.

While waiting, they made bold guesses, thinking that it is very likely that Yike will undergo changes in the board of directors and management, and the founder Fang Zhuo may be swept out to eliminate the previous influence.

However, to their surprise, the press conference was hosted by a strange bald executive.

The man who called himself Kong Yu seemed a little nervous. He didn't introduce his position, and the first two sentences were a bit stuttering, but he soon became smoother and concisely reported the information about Yike's secondary market.

“易科公司的股东持股情况，申新科创持股3.7%、香江寰宇3.16%、公司人才期权代持3%、上市公司新浪0.3%、MIGA基金4.9%，大股东方卓持有49.24%。”

"And, out of confidence in the company's prospects, the chairman of Yike Company locked up 10% of the stock for three consecutive months in October, November, and December last year through call options."

"Currently, our disposable equity totals 89.3%."

The reporters in the audience were quite at a loss, call options?Disposable equity?
Kong Yu took a deep breath and announced again: "As of 4:17 p.m. on April 89.3, we have a total of [-]% of the equity at our disposal."

He couldn't help savoring this information repeatedly, and said for the third time: "Our disposable equity totals 89.3%!"

Some reporters have gradually reacted, and their expressions are gradually horrified. It seems that there is an amazing inflection point in the long-short game?

Some reporters directly raised their voices: "What does this mean?"

Kong Yu raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said in a deep voice, "There is not much time left for the bears."

Time is running out for bears!

On April 4th, Friday night at 17:89.3, the latest information from Yike showed that Yike's disposable equity totaled [-]%.

Information loaded into Twitter.

Just as soon as it was shown, the cheerful fund managers who were still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere suddenly stopped their smiles, typing fingers, and... It seemed that their heartbeats also stopped.

Um?I read it wrong?False news?call option?Three months at the end of last year?

89.3%?

10.7%?

Andrew, a Wall Street bounty hunter, happened to be in front of the computer, and subconsciously typed out a sentence that came out of his heart with his fingers.

Mr. Fang, don't go!
