Chapter 1070 Where is Bai Le? Where did he go?

August 12 at 14:4 pm

At this moment, the meeting room of Fantasy Group was completely silent, with only the sound of everyone's breathing.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the stock market quotes on the big screen, waiting for the closing auction to end.

As time passed, the tense and expectant atmosphere in the air gradually disappeared, and smiles gradually appeared on everyone's faces.

As the time jumped to 4:10, the call auction ended, and the final stock price number was frozen on the screen, and cheers and applause suddenly broke out in the conference room.

The big screen showed the share price of Digital Shenzhou. After a series of operations carefully planned by Qiao Jian, the share price had fallen from the high point of the previous few days.

The jumping of numbers was like a piece of victory music, making everyone present feel extremely excited.

Everyone looked at the share price of Digital China on the big screen, their eyes filled with excitement and joy.

They knew that this meant that their plan had achieved initial success and Qiao Jian's strategy was gradually being realized.

Zhong Chang'en and Ma Wenbao stood up excitedly. They walked quickly to Qiao Jian's side with appreciative smiles on their faces.

Zhong Changen patted Qiao Jian's shoulder vigorously and said in a loud voice:

"Xiao Qiao, this is a really great idea! With the stock price dropping like this, our chance has come!"

Ma Wenbao also nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration.
"Xiao Qiao, I underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to be so capable. This time you have made a great contribution to our Fantasy Group!"

Qiao Jian had a confident smile on her face and responded modestly,

"Mr. Zhong, Mr. Ma, this is all thanks to everyone. I just did what I should do."

Although she was proud in her heart, she did not let the victory go to her head.

She knew very well that this was just the beginning and the battle would be even more intense.

She turned her gaze to Yang Zhiyuan, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Yang Zhiyuan nodded to her, expressing his approval and affirmation.

Qiao Jian took a deep breath. She knew that her performance had won the recognition of her leader. She needed to be more cautious and work harder in the future.

Lin Min leaned back in his chair, his eyes sweeping over the cheering crowd one by one, and a bitter smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

It’s not that I think all this is a deviation from my original intention and mission.

But this company, no matter what, once prided itself on its focus and pragmatism, becoming a banner of China's IT industry and the number one in China.

But now, the leadership is keeping a close eye on the fluctuations in stock prices all day long, as if the red and green numbers are their only faith.

I have to say, this is sad.

When investors in the stock market make money, their first reaction is often excitement and eagerness.

This emotion spreads quickly, prompting them to want to know immediately what caused them to make money and hope that this good luck will continue.

Therefore, they will be eager to start looking around for news and searching for any information that may affect the continued rise in stock prices.

This thirst for information is partly because they feel that the money comes too easily and they need some "evidence" to support their expectations of future returns.

In the stock market, especially for those investors who mainly speculate, this mentality is particularly obvious after making money.

They rely on various news and market rumors to build their understanding of the market and try to use this information to predict and seize future investment opportunities.

At this moment, most of the people in this conference room felt the same way.

After the market closed, people did not return to their offices to continue their work, but sat in the conference room, reading information and chatting.

They get off work at five o'clock, and it is now around four-fifteen. With the current progress of the physical business, there is actually no need for them to go back and pretend.

Lin Min now completely agrees with what Qing Yun said: "The problem lies in the first three rows, and the root is still on the podium."

This is a wise saying.

If there is no signature process, it is completely fine for the senior leaders of a large company to disappear collectively for three months.

This will not have a significant adverse impact on the company's operations. On the contrary, due to the reduction in reporting levels, employee efficiency will increase by at least 50% within three months.

At this moment, the root of the Fantasy Group lies in Yang Zhiyuan, who is sitting in the main seat in the conference room.

This is a perfect executive vice president who is good at execution and promotion.

But if it is put in a position like general manager or even chairman, which requires a lot of strategic thinking, it would be a disaster.

Yang Zhiyuan does not have this vision.

It's time to put an end to this mistake.

Lin Min sighed, silently lit a cigarette, and looked at the people in the conference room with his hands folded.

Qiao Jian over there suppressed his excitement and complacency, and opened the relevant reports on the portal website.

As expected, Qingyun’s close ally, Wangnan, remained unusually silent when faced with the unusual fluctuations in Digital China’s stock price.

As the top domestic news portal, the financial section of Wangnan has always been known for its rapid information updates and comprehensive coverage.

However, during the two days when Digital Shenzhou's stock price skyrocketed, no reports on the changes in Digital Shenzhou's stock price could be found in either the rolling news on the homepage or the stock market updates on the financial channel.

In the stock bars and forums on the Internet, the usually bustling discussion areas were unusually quiet. There was not a single post discussing the share price of Digital China, as if the company had never appeared on the stock market.

Even if some individual investors posted questions, these posts quickly fell into oblivion, received no response or were quickly deleted.

Qiao Jian knew that this selective silence was precisely the Internet's silent support for the Yanhuang Group.

In the public opinion war in the capital market, controlling the speed and direction of information dissemination is sometimes more effective than investing real money.

Wangnan's attitude is undoubtedly to buy time for Yanhuang Group and make the market remain skeptical and wait-and-see about the surge in Digital China's stock price, rather than blindly following the trend.

Qiao Jian sneered at this, this is public opinion control.

In the information age, the power of public opinion is enormous and can even influence a company's stock price and market confidence.

She knew that as one of the largest portals in the country, Wangnan’s influence could not be underestimated.

However, this is China after all, not Europe or America, and private business owners cannot cover the sky with one hand.

Qiao Jian opened Xinlang's 21st Century Business Herald channel.

As expected, a report appeared on the screen with the headline "Shenzhou Digital's share price plummets 60%, market confidence is shaken."

[Yanjing, December 12th - This week, China's technology stock market staged a thrilling stock price roller coaster. After a short-term stock price surge, Digital China, a leading domestic IT distribution company, fell by a total of 14% in two consecutive days, reversing all the previous gains, and the decline is still continuing.

According to market analysts, the abnormal fluctuation in the stock price may be related to a series of recent changes in the company.

It is reported that on the eve of the equity transaction with Yanhuang Group, Fantasy Holdings, the major shareholder of Shenzhou Digital, suddenly announced the withdrawal of all personnel stationed in Shenzhou Digital. This move triggered widespread speculation in the market.

Through in-depth investigation, the reporter found that Fantasy Holdings' decision was not groundless.

According to insiders, the non-executive director of Fantasy Group, another listed company under Fantasy Holdings, expressed reservations about Yanhuang Group's acquisition of Digital China, believing that the transaction harmed the interests of the listed company's small shareholders.

At the same time, some Fantasy Group executives also expressed reservations about the transaction, believing that the transaction was a "lose-lose" scenario for both Fantasy Group and Digital China, and that the legitimacy of the transaction needed further verification.

In addition, there was a large-scale employee resignation within Digital China, and many employees felt uncertain about the company's future and chose to leave early.

In an interview with the reporter, a mid-level manager of Digital China who did not want to be named said:
"We are very worried about the new owner because the business direction of Yanhuang Group is very different from our traditional business. We are worried that our careers will be affected."

In addition, the reporter also noticed that there were a large number of posts and discussions on the Internet about Shenzhou Digital employees’ dissatisfaction with the Yanhuang Group.

Some people claiming to be employees of Digital Shenzhou said on the forum that they were confused about the company's future and did not agree with the management model and corporate culture of Yanhuang Group.

Analysts pointed out that this massive negative public opinion may put further pressure on Digital China's stock price. The market is full of uncertainty about Digital China's future, and investor confidence has been severely hit. In this stock price turmoil, the role of Fantasy Holdings is particularly important.

As a major shareholder of Digital China, Fantasy Holdings' every move affects the market. It is reported that Fantasy Holdings may take further actions to protect its own interests with the support of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

The progress of this transaction may be affected by some disturbances.

This newspaper will continue to follow the development of the situation and provide readers with the latest reports in a timely manner.

Yang Zhiyuan over there was also reading this report.

After reading the report carefully, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. This report undoubtedly gave the market a clear signal: the prospects of Digital China were worrying.

It seems that reporter Liu is a man of insight!

This signal was exactly what he wanted.

He knew that although the power of public opinion was invisible, it could have a substantial impact.

Qiao Jian's strategy has successfully planted seeds of doubt in the market and investors' minds.

Next, we just have to wait for them to take root and sprout.

It looks like Digital China's stock price will continue to fall tomorrow. If the price drops to such a low level, all the state-owned assets people who can attend the meeting will be eager to sign their consent and quickly get rid of this hot potato.

Yang Zhiyuan had a satisfied smile on his face and praised Qiao Jian.
"Mr. Qiao, you did a good job. The stock price is just right."

Everyone agreed, and Ma Wenbao even gave a thumbs up.
"Xiao Qiao, you are really good at predicting things. The stock price has dropped so beautifully. Your trick is really brilliant."

Zhong Changen also chimed in, with a hint of excitement in his voice.
"Yes, Mr. Qiao, your strategy is really brilliant. Let's see how arrogant Mr. Xiaoqing can be."

The atmosphere in the conference room seemed to become relaxed because of the drop in stock prices. Everyone had a smile on their face, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

But at this moment, Qiao Jian's expression was not right.

She stared blankly at the computer screen, her face as pale as death, as if she had seen something incredible.

At this time, Lin Min asked Qiao Jian jokingly, "Boss Qiao, what's wrong? Are you so happy that you can't speak?"

A hint of subtle sarcasm flashed across his eyes.

This gloating look made Yang Zhiyuan feel uneasy.

But he also noticed Qiao Jian's expression, knowing that something must have happened, and asked in a deep voice, "Boss Qiao, what happened?"

Qiao Jian did not answer. Her fingers trembled as she tapped the screen, with a hint of disbelief in her voice.
"Yanhuang...Yanhuang Group officially announced that it is inviting an offer to acquire Abbeymu's personal PC business!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. They stood there in a daze. The conference room seemed to be frozen. The originally relaxed atmosphere froze in an instant, and everyone's face was filled with shock and disbelief.

After a long while, there was movement in the conference room. Zeng Maochao couldn't believe his ears and asked Qiao Jian tremblingly,

"Xiao Qiao! What did you say? Say it again?"

Qiao Jian repeated dumbfoundedly, "Xinlang just published a report that Yanhuang Group has officially announced that it is inviting an offer to acquire Abbeymu's personal PC business."

This sentence was like unblocking the news, and everyone rushed to check the report.

The conference room was filled with the sounds of keyboard typing and mouse clicking, as everyone was quickly searching for the latest information, trying to confirm the authenticity of the news.

Yang Zhiyuan opened the webpage anxiously, and fell silent the moment he saw the title.

【Title: Yanhuang Group plans to invest US$22.5 billion to acquire Abbey's PC business
New York, December 12th - According to the latest news from the New York Stock Exchange, Yanhuang Group, as an important shareholder holding 14% of the shares of Abbeymu Group, today officially submitted relevant materials to the Ministry of Commerce of China, the US Department of Commerce and the New York Stock Exchange, planning to invest US$3 billion to acquire Abbeymu's PC business.

An internal source of Abyemu revealed that the company has received an invitation application from Yanhuang Group, but as it has not yet grasped the specific situation, it is currently unable to comment to the public.

The move by Yanhuang Group is seen as an ambitious move in its global expansion strategy.

As a leading IT enterprise in China, Yanhuang Group has achieved remarkable results in the domestic market since its establishment, and completed mergers and acquisitions in the domestic market at lightning speed.

The invitation to acquire Abbey's PC business will not only further enhance its competitiveness in the global market, but also indicate that Yanhuang Group has set its strategic sights on the international stage.

As a world-renowned IT company, Abbey's PC business was once an important part of the company, but it has faced severe challenges in recent years.

In the past few years, Abbey's PC business has been plagued by operational strategy problems. The department's financial situation has been in a long-term loss-making state, and its market share has been gradually eroded by competitors.

Although Abbey has a reputation for technological innovation and product quality, its high cost structure and fierce market competition make it difficult for its PC business to be profitable.

Therefore, Abbey has been seeking transformation to reduce its reliance on the PC business and shift its focus to more profitable business areas, focusing on developing consulting services (including enterprise IT outsourcing) and middleware solutions (referring to software that is usually bundled with server hardware).

Under such circumstances, Yanhuang Group's invitation to acquire is not only an opportunity for Abiemu to divest its loss-making business, but also a key step in the company's strategic transformation.

If this invitation to acquire is successful, Yanhuang Group will gain control of Abbeymu's PC business, which will have a profound impact on the future cooperation and development of both parties.

At present, further communication between Yanhuang Group and Abiemu is still in progress, and neither party has disclosed more details to the public.

This newspaper will continue to pay attention to the progress of this acquisition invitation and provide the public with the latest information in a timely manner. 】

Everyone stared blankly at their screens, and the conference room was dead silent.

Others in the conference room also knew that the news released by Yanhuang Group at this moment was like a bombshell, which would blow up the plan of Fantasy Holdings.

The top leaders of Fantasy Holdings originally planned to gain huge profits by exchanging Fantasy Group's shares for Abyemu's shares, but this move by Yanhuang Group directly cut off their financial path.

This means that all their previous efforts and expectations have come to naught.

This move by the Yanhuang Group not only hit the financial plan of Fantasy Holdings, but also dealt them a heavy blow on the spiritual level.

Faced with this situation, Qiao Jian was helpless.

She knew that this was a difference in dimension.

The stock price tactical operation she planned pales in comparison to the larger-scale business strategy of Yanhuang Group.

That young general of Yanhuang was able to kill with every move he made.

There was a sneer on Lin Min's lips.

He had long known that the Yanhuang Group would make a big move, and this official announcement was both expected and long-awaited for him.

He knew that once this news was announced, it would completely change the fate of Fantasy Holdings, and he was already prepared, waiting for the storm to come.

At this moment, Lin Min felt both a sense of pleasure and a sense of worry in his heart.

What made him happy was that he could finally watch Zhi Liu's conspiracy to hollow out Fantasy Holdings completely fail.

What worries him is that he cannot predict how much impact this storm will have on fantasy.

Everything depends on the thought of Mr. Yanhuang.

After a long while, Yang Zhiyuan suddenly shouted loudly, "Where is Bai Le? Where the hell is he?"

There was a hint of desperation and anger in his voice.

Bai Le, as his chief think tank and strategist, was absent at this time, making him feel unprecedentedly lonely and helpless.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was violently pushed open.

A group of people walked in.

Yang Zhiyuan stared at the person who came, his eyes full of confusion.
