Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1062 This old guy is really vicious!
At three o'clock in the afternoon on December 12, the conference room of Fantasy Holdings was packed, and the air was filled with a tense and uneasy atmosphere.

All heads of branches and subsidiaries in Yanjing, as well as senior and middle-level managers of the holding company at home, were present, while employees in other regions watched the conference via television signals.

Everyone was confused, not knowing what was going to happen next, and they were discussing the matter.

The last time this happened was at Yang Zhiyuan’s appointment meeting.

Many well-informed people have begun to spread the gossip in a mysterious manner.

"Have you heard? Mr. Zhao was arrested last night!"

"No way? Hasn't Mr. Zhao always been quite decent?"

"Decent? You're a little funny. Everyone knows that Mr. Zhao likes to mess around the most."

"As long as he can help you make money, you don't care if he messes around or not. The company won't care about this, right? Did he get caught because he took the money?"

"No, I heard that this time it was really because of the relationship between a man and a woman."

"Hasn't he always been very concerned about his image?"

"I heard it was in a bath center, and it seemed that four girls were ordered."

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Zhao is in great health!"

"Zhao Linghuan is really in trouble this time. I wonder how the company will deal with it."

"I heard that President Yang will announce this at the meeting, and it is expected that there will be a big move."

"Mr. Zhao is usually very nice to us. I hope he can get through this."

"Hey, these days, one wrong step can lead to many wrong steps. We have to be careful and not make mistakes."

"That's right, why can't you see through it? You work so hard, and in the end, isn't it just a few seconds of comfort?"

"Uncle Z, soak more wolfberries. You're already eating like a 40-year-old."

"Nonsense! You're spreading rumors, right? I'm only 26!"

"Emmm... Look at the wolfberry and asparagus in your cup. I advise you to admit that you are 40 years old. Be decent."

"..."

As time passed, the discussions in the conference room gradually subsided and everyone's eyes were focused on the podium.

Soon, the mystery was solved. Yang Zhiyuan, acting chairman of the holding company, walked up to the podium with a serious expression and cleared his throat. His voice spread throughout the conference room and to every branch venue through the microphone.

"Dear colleagues, I have called you to this meeting today because something serious has happened in our company." Yang Zhiyuan's voice was low, and every word sounded like a heavy hammer hitting the employees' hearts.

He swept his eyes across the meeting room and continued, "We received a police report this morning that Zhao Linghuan, a member of our company's executive committee and deputy general manager of the holding company, was detained for 15 days in accordance with the Public Security Management Regulations."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the meeting room, and the employees were whispering and talking among themselves.

Well, the boots have dropped, and I wonder if it will be a major purge.

Everyone in the meeting hall who was associated with Zhao Linghuan looked pale.

As Yang Zhiyuan finished speaking, the conference room fell into dead silence.

Everyone realized that the world of Fantasy Holdings was about to change.

None of them are fools.

As brutal as the fight for succession among the five young marshals was, the purge now that Yang Zhiyuan has secured his position will be just as cruel.

This is a bit disheartening.

It's even more frightening.

This old guy is really vicious!
Looking at the fearful eyes in the audience and on both sides, Yang Zhiyuan smiled in his heart.

The ways in which power is exercised are divided into benevolent power and authoritarian power.

Renquan means benevolence, which is an ideal value designed by saints for human beings to live a better life. It is also the ideal state of power operation.

Reading makes you understand that all ideal states are basically bullshit, but you can keep talking about them.

Since ancient times, there has only been authority.

Because authoritarianism is formed naturally through people's struggles, people will naturally choose it.

Yang Zhiyuan is not the ideal founding team, and the founding team is still reluctant to leave, so Ren De cannot help him consolidate his control over the company.

But fear can.

After taking a deep breath, Yang Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with a cold light.
“The company requires all employees to take this as a warning, strictly abide by laws and regulations, and consciously safeguard the company’s image and personal reputation.

The company will continue to strengthen employee education management and supervision, and will have zero tolerance for illegal and disciplinary violations. Once discovered, they will be dealt with seriously.

At the same time, the company will launch a 100-day self-examination and self-correction campaign, which is a rectification and self-discipline! I hope everyone will take it seriously! "

His words were so powerful that everyone present could feel his determination and seriousness.

After the meeting, employees left the conference room one after another, with various expressions on their faces, some were shocked, some were worried, and some were thinking secretly.

Yang Zhiyuan remained alone on the podium, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He knew that this decision would have a huge impact on the company.

But he also knew that this was something that had to be done.

After the staff meeting, the leadership team of Fantasy Holdings returned to the small conference room, closed the door, and began a closed-door meeting attended only by core members.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense and serious. Everyone knew that they were going to discuss the company's future and response strategies.

Zhu Linan, one of the five young marshals, stood up with a stern look on his face. His voice was heavy and powerful.
"Everyone, today Digital China resumed trading. Affected by the pre-announced merger and acquisition transaction, Digital China's Hong Kong stock price fell 21% as of 43:, and Fantasy Group's Hong Kong stock price plummeted %."

Everyone knows what this means, and a plunge in stock prices could deal a major blow to the company's stability and credibility.

But no one cares about that.

Yang Zhiyuan also smiled, with a confident look on his face.
“Everyone, don’t worry too much. This impact is only temporary. The group will release more news later, and the stock price will definitely rise again.

Hong Kong stocks do not have price limits, which can help release emotions all at once.”

What's more, the decline in the share price of Digital Shenzhou, which he was concerned about, would be more conducive to the approval of his and Qing Yun's transaction plan.

What made him very unhappy was why Fantasy Group fell 43% while Digital China only fell 21%.

The contrast was so glaring that it was a slap in his face.

The capital market votes with its feet, which means that everyone is obviously more optimistic about the future development of Shenzhou Digital under Qing Yun's leadership.

This made Yang Zhiyuan feel angry.

Why!

Why is Shenzhou Digital still favored when it has no business at all?

Don't you see the potential of the lightly equipped Fantasy Group? !
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Wenbao, a veteran of the Executive Committee, laughed.

Ma Wenbao's eyes flashed with a light called greed, "Everyone, Mr. Yang's opportunity to make a fortune is here."

When Yang Zhiyuan heard this, the haze in his heart flashed away, and he was also happy. He looked at Ma Wenbao jokingly,
"Mr. Ma, it seems that you have received a lot of bloody chips today? Tell us how much you have received?"

According to the rules, insiders cannot buy their own stocks, but no one can stop distant relatives such as aunts and uncles from buying them.

Ma Wenbao laughed loudly, with a hint of pride in his smile.
"Xiao Yang, you are still too young. Opportunities like this don't come every day, so I plan to buy another wave during the call auction at the closing time."

A flash of cold light flashed across Yang Zhiyuan's eyes, but it instantly turned into a smile.

"Then I wish Mr. Ma good fortune."

I just don’t know if the old man will be able to laugh later.

This wealth...haha!
At least this old man can’t send it!
Ma Wenbao laughed out loud, "It's all thanks to our CEO Yang's wisdom that we were able to make this money because we reached an agreement with that little bastard Qing Yun!

But Mr. Yang, the auction will start in a few minutes, should we...Haha! Haha!"

Facing Ma Wenbao's roguery, Yang Zhiyuan could only smile helplessly.

"It's time for a coffee break. Everyone should go to the bathroom. We'll continue the meeting at 4:15."

Laughter broke out in the conference room, the atmosphere became much more relaxed, and other members of the leadership team also smiled knowingly.

Yang Zhiyuan also smiled. Well, I can still enjoy the scene of them falling from heaven to hell later.

The closing time of Hong Kong stocks is 4 pm, and the closing auction is within ten minutes after 4 pm.

Looking at the figures busy in front of computers in the conference room, Yang Zhiyuan sighed in his heart.

It seems that none of them are clean.

Well, so is he.

While chatting and laughing, he also turned on his computer to check the closing situation.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to use the company computer to operate the account, but it's normal to send a text message to his cousin to ask about the weather or something.

In the small conference room, the leadership team was still having a heated discussion. Suddenly, Lin Min's exclamation broke the silence.

"what!"

Ma Wenbao, who was operating carefully on the keyboard, was startled, his fingers trembled, and he almost entered the wrong code.

After checking the code and hitting the Enter key, he looked up hastily and cursed angrily.

"Lin Min, what are you howling like a ghost? You are so grown up!"

He started the business together with Zhi Liu and others. He is a veteran among the veterans and is not polite at all when he yells at the young people.

Besides...

The wall fell and everyone pushed.

At present, Lin Min, who is still in the leadership team, is in a very awkward role.

In fact, everyone knew very well that Lin Min's elimination was a foregone conclusion, it was just a matter of time.

It all depends on Yang Zhiyuan's thought.

Li Qin, who had been silent all the time, suddenly had a strange smile on his face.

He chuckled, and anyone could tell that his voice was filled with a hint of gloating.
"You guys... should just take a look at Digital China's stock price."

Before Ma Wenbao could react, Yang Zhiyuan, who had always paid close attention to Li Qin and Lin Min, opened the page with a grim face.

If you don't want to use it, these two people are definitely holding back on something.

When everyone was paying attention to the stocks of Fantasy Group, these two people were actually looking at Digital China?
This is a conspiracy so obvious that it's stupid!

Then, Yang Zhiyuan was dumbfounded.

There was silence in the entire conference room.

Snapped!
Snapped!
It was the sound of Lin Min and Li Qin lighting their lighters.

At this time, at 3:57, the trend of Digital China, which had been falling by 21% since it resumed trading in the morning, took a huge turn.

A straight line appeared on everyone's screen and was gradually rising.

In just a few tens of seconds, the stocks that were originally falling turned positive, broke through the 10% increase, and were still rising rapidly.

As the selling pressure from above decreases, the rise becomes faster and faster, and it is completely unstoppable.

There is no limit on the price increase of Hong Kong stocks, but the unstoppable increase in the figures made everyone understand that this was a huge order.

Everyone in the conference room stared at the screen numbly.

I don’t regret not buying Digital China’s shares.

But this stock price...

If the stock price remains at the current price after passing the review, it means that the transaction basis between Fantasy Holdings and Yanhuang Group has been destroyed.

There is no way that state-owned assets would agree to this deal.

So, it was equivalent to Yang Zhiyuan and Qing Yun having a lonely conversation before.

By the close of the market, the increase had reached 31%.

A few seconds later, during the call auction phase, the increase jumped directly to 60%.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became extremely solemn, and everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

This is equivalent to Qingyun using 80 billion in cash to purchase 80 billion worth of stocks and 40 billion worth of equity in the medical sector.

The collapse of the medical sector is something that will happen in the future.

It is a 'post-balance sheet event' that they are well aware will inevitably occur.

Once Qingyun takes action to boost the medical sector, the 40 billion investment will need to make provisions for impairment of long-term equity investments (an item under the old standards), which will be reflected as a loss in the current financial statements.

To be honest, this is the time when the two are equivalently exchanged in value on the accounting statements.

But in the eyes of state-owned assets, this loss does not exist because it has not yet occurred.

Therefore, in the eyes of state-owned assets, this is selling assets at a low price.

No normal person would dare to sign a document to sell state-owned assets that are operating normally and making continuous profits at a 6% discount.

You don't have a penny, so why should others take the responsibility for you? No matter how the leader asks you to sign, it will be useless.

Yang Zhiyuan's face looked extremely ugly. He knew that this sudden surge in stock prices meant that all their previous efforts might be in vain.

Fortunately, there are still a few days before the meeting. At this moment, Yang Zhiyuan is extremely grateful for the lengthy state-owned assets decision-making process.

He was also extremely grateful that the state-owned assets people were timid and would not approve it until Hillhouse Holdings acquired the medical sector.

Yang Zhiyuan forced himself to calm down; things had not yet gotten out of control.

His eyes swept across the conference room and finally looked habitually at Zhao Linghuan's original position.

Looking at the empty seat, he remembered that he had sent Zhao Linghuan to the police station.

Yang Zhiyuan felt disgusted and could only look at Zhu Linnan.

Zhu Linnan is also an investor, but unlike Zhao Linghuan, he is not as comprehensive as the primary market. He only specializes in the primary market, and he is not very well-informed in the secondary market such as securities.

Yang Zhiyuan feels a little regretful now.

If I had known earlier, I should have waited a few days before taking action against Zhao Linghuan!
Now... we can only try our best to save the situation.

"Li Nan, find out what's going on immediately."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Linnan didn't waste any time and quickly went to the next room to make the call.

He is not very well-informed, but he is not completely out of touch with the news.

He quickly took out his cell phone, made several calls, and began asking several securities analysts and traders he knew, trying to find out the reason for the unusual stock price movements.

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little anxious and uncertain, and Zhu Linnan's brows furrowed more and more.

As he listened, he quickly wrote down the key points in his notebook, making "hmm" and "ah" sounds in response from time to time.

In the conference room, the faces of Ma Wenbao and others became extremely ugly. Their eyes wandered around the conference room, as if they were exchanging some information.

But something happened that surprised Yang Zhiyuan.

Another big boss of the Executive Committee, Zhong Changen, who was also the first elder to join him, slammed the table heavily at this time, looked at Lin Min angrily, and roared,

"Lin Min, have you done something dishonest?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhiyuan also felt that Zhong Changen's words were a bit nonsensical.

Where to start?
However, he reacted in an instant.

Let’s not talk about why Lin Min and Li Qin paid attention to Digital Shenzhou before. This is actually easy to explain. After all, the multi-grid display can display not only two stocks, but at least 9 stocks.

The key issue is that if the transaction with Yanhuang Group ultimately fails, Guo Wei is likely to come back.

And the title he currently holds is "acting chairman". The word "acting" means the possibility of being replaced.
