Everyone knew about Harry Potter's battle record, and his suggestion sounded very good. The key was that there wouldn't be too many losses. As long as everyone joined forces to raise the price, it would be fine.
So, all the hedge fund companies worked together to raise the prices.
The next day, Microsoft, which had been hovering around 30 billion USD, started to make a comeback. At the end of the day, Microsoft's market value rose to 50 billion USD.
All the United States' media started to shout that this is a victory for the people. This is a victory for all the United States. This proves that the United States is invincible and is not something one or two foreign companies can dream of doing!
These words were very pleasing to the ears, and the audience liked them. The media was also happy to say them, so very quickly, all of the American citizens cheered. Everyone was celebrating the fact that the powerful American country had defeated a wishful thinking opponent.
Anyway, everyone is happy. After that, Microsoft's share prices rebound and returned to 100 billion USD. All the United States' citizens cheered. This is a victory for the people.
Of course, some United States' citizens expressed that this is a failure for the United States. Since when did the United States have to rely on the whole nation to stop a takeover?
Isn't the United States supposed to be a free and democratic country?
Isn't Daqian's takeover a democratic and free takeover? Could it be that everyone's obstruction of normal transactions is democracy and freedom?
Of course, there are only a few rational voices. Anyway, everyone is happy.
After that, a United States reporter interviewed Daqian Group's Chairman, Jia Yapeng. Boss Jia said in the interview that he had acquired Microsoft to help the company recover from its decline. He wants to let all the PC users in the world enjoy free services. He is doing this for the people.
But he did not expect the people of the United States to be angry. They felt the Daqian is humiliating the United States. This is something the Daqian will not do.
So, Jia Yapeng announced to the United States' citizens on the media that the Daqian Group had heard the public's opinion and knows the people's choice. That's why the Daqian Group will give up on acquiring Microsoft for at least five years.
Boss Jia's announcement was immediately reported to the United States and all the United States.
The United States' citizens cheered again. This is a great victory against foreign evil capitalists. The people of the United States are invincible.
The United States' citizens are celebrating, but the United States' foundations are panicking. The first group of foundations to contact the Daqian Group and offer to sell their shares for 90 billion RMB. The Daqian Group rejected the acquisition and withdrew all their representatives. Their representatives even watched Boss Jia's interview with them and said this is Boss Jia's decision. That's why the negotiations failed, and the Daqian Group admitted defeat. They are not buying Microsoft!
All the foundations are sweating profusely. Although it's easy for all the foundations to push up Microsoft's market value, it's still costly. These foundations had spent billions of USD to increase Microsoft's share prices and acquire a large number of shares from individual investors. They are waiting to sell these shares to the Daqian Group. Now, they are told that the Daqian Group is not buying Microsoft's shares. Who is going to buy Microsoft's shares?
It was like a girl who had been fooling around outside because she knew that she had a bootlicker and a buyer. She thought that she could sell herself to the buyer in the worst case scenario. However, one day, she suddenly realized that the buyer had run away. Other than a body full of debt and the flesh and blood in her belly, she had nothing. How the hell was she supposed to play with this?
So, on the second day after the Daqian Group gave up on the acquisition, Microsoft's share prices changed dramatically. It fell from 100 billion USD to 80 billion USD, and it continued to fall for one week. In the end, it fell back to 30 billion USD.
Those individual investors who had tried to protect Microsoft's share prices felt they had won when they heard the Daqian Group had given up on acquiring Microsoft. Microsoft will not be bought by the Daqian Group. Also, Microsoft's share prices had plummeted, and they need to sell their shares to stop their losses. After all, Microsoft's market value is close to 20 billion USD, and its share prices will fall back to 15 years ago.
As for the United States people who were cheering for Microsoft … they had forgotten about Microsoft. After all, the Daqian Group had given up on acquiring Microsoft. They had protected the honor of the United States, and Microsoft's survival is not important.

"Mr. Sorcerer, what do you think we should do about this?" The managers of the Foundation once again gathered together, but they all looked at Harry Potter with unkind eyes. They obviously put all the blame for this bad situation on Harry Potter.
If it were not for Harry Potter's idea, they would have sold all their shares to the Daqian Group for 50 billion USD.
Now, America First Foundation's lousy idea and plan had ruined their money!
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Harry Potter sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I admit that it was my mistake this time. I didn't expect Jia Yapeng to retreat so decisively. I'm beginning to suspect that this is a trap set up by Jia Yapeng just to disgust us!"
"I don't care if this is a trap or not. We have suffered losses because of your idea. You have to be responsible for it!" A manager said in an unfriendly tone.
"What do you want?" Harry Potter coldly snorted, and immediately asked.
"Simple. Since you are the one who came up with this idea, you have to bear the losses." The manager said.
"What a joke. I have never heard of this before. The stock market is risky. How can you blame me for your losses?" Harry Potter said angrily.
"I don't care. Since the Daqian Group is not buying our shares, America First Foundation should buy our Microsoft shares at the price of 90 billion USD … No. Since we are friends, 80 billion USD will do!" The managers of these funds were like crazy tigers. They wanted to join forces and push the blame to Harry Potter.
"Impossible. America First Foundation is not interested in controlling a company like this!" Harry Potter rejected firmly.
