On the last day of the weekend, most people in Pan-Asia were on holiday, but the building of Yangwei Capital was busy.
For them, tomorrow would be a crucial battle.
This battle would determine both victory and defeat, as well as life and death.
In order to short East Asia Power, they had invested nearly ten billion yuan. If this fund could not be withdrawn smoothly, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the cash flow of Yangwei Capital.
Especially if the stock price of East Asia Power was allowed to continue to rise, they would have to buy back the short orders they had placed at a higher price to repay the stocks they had lent. This would undoubtedly make their situation even more severe.
After all, they had invested tens of billions.
With such a huge amount of funds, even with the daily trading volume of East Asia Power, it was not something they could buy back in a short time, let alone their peers. The investors who planned to short with them didn't get to eat the meat. They didn't mind taking a bite of their fat meat before leaving.
When it came to business, there was no need to talk about morality.
However, although this battle was extremely difficult, most employees still believed that they would win in the end. It was not only because of the so-called "trump card" that their boss claimed to have, but also because their boss had never misjudged the general direction of the financial trend over the years.
Sitting in the office, staring at the holographic screen suspended on the table, Song Yangwei suddenly frowned and muttered to himself.
"Why do you think my eyelids keep twitching?"
Hearing the boss's words, the secretary standing next to him quickly asked with a smile.
"Is it your left eyelid or right eyelid?"
"Left eye."
"Left eyelid twitching is wealth, right eyelid twitching is disaster, this is a good sign!" The secretary said with a smile, "It seems that the boss is going to make a fortune recently."
Song Yangwei chuckled, but soon his brows furrowed again.
"… Hiss, it doesn't seem right, it's the right."
The secretary, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, almost spat out blood. He quickly smiled awkwardly and continued.
"Uh, I remembered it wrong. That sentence seems to be right eyelid twitching is wealth —"
However, just as he was halfway through his sentence, dense footsteps suddenly came from outside the office, and then the door was pushed open.
Looking at the few people standing at the door, Song Yangwei was taken aback. As he was about to speak, the person who rushed into the office took out his ID and shouted.
"Police!"
"Nobody move!"
When he heard that it was the police, Song Yangwei, who was thinking about something, suddenly panicked. He subconsciously raised his hands, but he quickly put them down and glared at the police officer.
"What are you doing! I'm a law-abiding citizen. Your current behavior — "
"Law-abiding?" Captain Xing stared at the old man sitting on the office chair and walked in. He narrowed his eyes and said with a fake smile, "Doesn't Chairman Song's conscience hurt?"
The moment he heard this, Song Yangwei's heart skipped a beat.
Especially when he met that pair of eyes that had narrowed into slits, an indescribable fear crept into his heart, causing every pore on his body to tremble uncontrollably.
"You … Are you … from the Security Bureau?"
Xing Bian smiled and did not answer his question. He just gave his subordinate standing next to him a look.
"Take him away."
Although he did not get a clear answer, the silence was obviously a tacit agreement.
The moment he heard that, Song Yangwei's face lost its color.
If it was a financial crime, if they wanted to take him away, they would at least have to show the prosecution's approval of the arrest. But now that this link was omitted, there was no doubt that it was no longer a financial crime.
"If I confess, can you be lenient?"
"Of course." Xing Bian continued, looking at the old man in front of him who seemed to have aged a dozen years in an instant, "But it depends on whether the information you confess is valuable to us."
…
As the weekend passed, a busy week began again.
For most people, there was no obvious difference between this Monday and the usual Monday. However, for the people in the financial world, it was quite unusual.
Last week, Yangwei Capital released a short-selling report against East Asia Power, and it smashed nearly ten billion yuan, which became the focus of all financial industry practitioners in one fell swoop.
If that was all, it would be fine, but there was more to come. Not only did the ten billion yuan not make a splash, but the stock price of East Asia Power was even more stable, making people wonder if they had seen fake news.
There was no doubt that Yangwei Capital had kicked an iron plate.
However, after all, this was ten billion yuan of real money. No matter how big the family business was, it was inevitable that it would hurt. Presumably, after a week of rest, Yangwei Capital must have come up with a countermeasure.
However, just as everyone was staring at the stock price of East Asia Power, waiting for Yangwei Capital to get back at them, something unexpected happened.
Like the last trading day of last week, the stock price of East Asia Power did not fall at all. It even rose slightly.
Especially the trading volume, there was no feeling of oversupply at all.
Seeing this unusual scene, almost all the investment companies that were staring at the stock price of East Asia Power were stunned.
Yangwei Capital is …
Giving up treatment?
How can they spend tens of billions of yuan on short orders and then ignore it?
Whether they continue to throw money at it or retreat, they should at least take action, right?
According to normal logic, this was indeed the case. However, Yangwei Capital seemed to pretend that nothing had happened. Forget about any action, there was no reaction at all.
It was so weird that people didn't know what to say.
Just when everyone was guessing what Song Yangwei was up to, suddenly a rumor came out that the boss of Yangwei Capital was taken away by the police.
And it didn't seem to be an ordinary economic case!
After this news came out, the entire financial circle was in an uproar.
All kinds of gossip came out immediately. Some said that the short selling report of Song Yangwei, the boss of Yangwei Capital, offended other major shareholders on the board of directors of East Asia Power, especially the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Some people said that it was because of his usual lifestyle, and it had nothing to do with the short selling incident …
Some people guessed that it was Academician Lu.
However, this possibility was very small.
In short, no matter what the reason for Song Yangwei's arrest was, one thing was certain.
That was, with the boss being taken away for investigation, the entire Yangwei Capital had fallen into a leaderless state at this moment. Shorting East Asia Power naturally couldn't continue.
As soon as the news spread, the stock of East Asia Power rose. Not only did it instantly swallow the drop caused by Lu Zhou's layoff of the electromagnet research laboratory a few days ago, but it continued to jump up a few points.
In just one day, Yangwei Capital's direct loss was as high as more than one billion credit points, and the trapped funds were nearly ten billion. As the stock price of East Asia Energy rose further, they had to redeem the stocks they had previously sold through securities lending in the future, and they continued to lose money.
Only then did people suddenly remember who had been buying East Asia Power's stock before, and they regretted missing the opportunity.
Someone in the financial world did some calculations.
The increase on Monday alone made Lu Zhou, who had previously bought the short orders with Yangwei Capital, gain hundreds of billions of credit points. Not only because of those he bought during this period, but also because of the 7% of East Asia Power's stock that he had been holding before.
If Yangwei Capital couldn't get out of the predicament in a short time, it would buy back those short orders in the future, which was likely to further push up the stock price of East Asia Power.
During this period, as long as there was a good second-generation controllable fusion technology, they might lose everything.
Lu Zhou, who continued to buy East Asia Power during this period, became the biggest winner of this "short selling incident" …
