Chapter 1133 Jumping off the Boat
In just over an hour, the stock price fluctuated violently, and the volume of buying and selling orders continued to increase.
Although these days, due to the competition among several capitals in the secondary market, the stock price of Shi Lei's company is much higher than the initial price, and its trading volume is also rising. But the situation like today is unusual. Even if it is due to the technical suppression of the accumulation of funds, it should not be such an operation.
"What's going on?" Shi Lei watched for a few minutes, and was dumbfounded after he figured out the stock trend and the strange movements of the buying and selling orders today.
As the chairman of a listed company, Shi Lei is naturally no stranger to the stock market and is also familiar with stock operations.
But today's situation really made him confused. If the purpose of attracting funds was to suppress the technology, then it shouldn't be done this way. If it was just one capital dealer, there would be no problem with this method, but now there are three capitals competing for it, and everyone has reached a white-hot level, so it can't be done according to common sense.
Furthermore, when selling is surging, buying is also surging, as if the buyers and sellers are exchanging hands in the secondary market in tacit agreement. This operation is also abnormal. If two of the three capitals have agreed on terms, one withdraws and the other takes over, and the two parties conduct counter-trading after reaching an agreement, this is also normal in stock market operations.
But the current performance does not seem to be a complete counter-trading, and don’t forget that there is a group of capital watching covetously. Aren’t they afraid that such a counter-trading will go wrong? Instead, it will give the third party an advantage?
"We don't understand either." Old Yan and Vice President Wu shook their heads. They were no strangers to the stock market, but this was the first time they had seen such a situation.
"That's strange, could it be..." Shi Lei was about to say what he judged, but after thinking about it, he shook his head. He couldn't be sure that his judgment was correct. The current situation was really a bit confusing.
"Look! Buying orders are coming again, my God! All the stocks at the previous price are swept away in one go." Old Yan suddenly shouted, Shi Lei and Vice President Wu hurried to look, and it was true. The surging buying orders swept away the previous selling orders in one go, and pushed the stock price to climb steadily. In less than five minutes, it reached the highest point so far today.
"Sell orders are coming out again!" Just when everyone thought that the bulls had an absolute advantage, the situation suddenly changed. A large number of sell orders emerged again, and the stock price was instantly suppressed, and in a blink of an eye it returned to its original price.
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. This action was really speechless, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Director Shi, what should we do now?" The atmosphere in the office suddenly became heavy. The three of them did not speak for a long time. After a while, Vice President Wu asked.
"Don't you realize that we have become spectators for a long time? What else can we do?" Shi Lei pointed at the computer helplessly.
After these words came out, the two of them fell silent. Shi Lei was right. They were completely powerless now. If they could do something, they would not be like this now.
Facing the three powerful capitals, Shi Lei and his friends had already run out of bullets and were defeated early in this battle . Moreover, they had sought help from all sides but to no avail. Even the bank would not lend them money. The equity they held was nothing in the current situation and could not play any big role.
"How about we sell off some of it as well? Let's get some benefits for ourselves in this mess?" Suddenly, Old Yan spoke.
Shi Lei suddenly turned his head and looked at Lao Yan: "Are you crazy? Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?"
"Haha, Mr. Shi, what's the point of talking about results at this time? If you stick your head out, you'll get hurt. If you hide your head, you'll get hurt too. If they succeed in their plan, don't you know what will happen to us? Besides, do we still have the ability to resist? If we don't do this, will we just watch? When they are ready, it will be time for us to leave."
"Director Shi, for what have we worked so hard to build the company over the years? Don't tell me about ideals and ambitions, they are all just nonsense. To put it bluntly, isn't it just to make more money? To make life better for ourselves and our family? Now that the stock price has reached this level, we would be fools if we don't make some benefits for ourselves at this time. When the truth comes out and everything is settled, do you think we still have such an opportunity?"
Old Yan's words left Shi Lei speechless. He had to admit that what Old Yan said made sense. But at the same time, Shi Lei was struggling in his heart. He still had a glimmer of hope that the capital that had promised to be the white horse knight would come out to help him again. If so, he still had a chance of keeping the company.
But can the other party really stand up? As a business elite, Shi Lei knew that this possibility was not great. Otherwise, if he had contacted the other party several times and the other party did not give him a clear answer, how could the other party have such an attitude if he really wanted to help him?
But deep in Shi Lei's heart, he still had a little hope. This was not a question of rationality or irrationality, but Shi Lei was unwilling to give up!
After twenty years of hard work, he finally built such a company. It can be said that this company is the result of Shi Lei's hard work and a career he has always been proud of. Once he loses control of the company, what will Shi Lei have left? It can be said that all the hard work of this half-life is gone. He is not young anymore. There is only one boss in the world, and not everyone can get up again after experiencing a devastating failure.
"Mr. Shi...Brother Shi!" Vice President Wu was already tempted. Instead of continuing to stay on a leaking boat, it would be better to cut losses in time and get some benefits for himself.
He couldn't help but persuade Shi Lei that now was indeed the best opportunity for them to sell their stocks. Due to the acquisition initiated by the three capitals in the secondary market, the stock price of Shi Lei's company had reached a very high level. At this time, selling some of the stocks in hand and cashing in was the best choice.
As the two persuaded him, Shi Lei's heart began to waver. When reason gradually returned to Shi Lei, he also understood that what Vice President Wu and Lao Yan said were right. Now they are powerless to the future of the company. No matter which capital controls the company or the three capitals divide the company, the result is inevitable.
The result is that Shi Lei and his old brothers will be kicked out and no longer have control and management rights over the company. In the future, Shi Lei and his brothers will at best be a small shareholder, with a seat on the board of directors without any say.
Thinking of this, Shi Lei's heart ached, and he was extremely unwilling. He gritted his teeth and said, "Think carefully. If this matter is implemented, it may involve big problems. After all, we are still the actual controller of the company. If a large number of stocks are sold at this time, the relevant departments..."
"Mr. Shi, I'll take responsibility for this!" Before Shi Lei could finish his words, Old Yan took over.
"Don't worry, I will be careful in the operation, and I will definitely not cause any trouble to you and Lao Wu. Even if something goes wrong, I will take care of it. Anyway, I made this suggestion, and I will be responsible for the subsequent operations!"
"Old Yan! You...!" Shi Lei was stunned.
Old Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Director Shi, if there was any other hope, I wouldn't want to take this step, but in this situation, what else can we do? I have worked so hard for so many years, I can't not leave something for my family and children, right? If I don't find an opportunity now, will there be another chance when everything is over?"
As he spoke, Old Yan turned his gaze to Vice President Wu and said with a wry smile, "By then, we will have no control over the company, and no management rights, and we will be manipulated at will. Everyone understands this, and I think you also know what I mean. They will take over the company and hold the power. If things go wrong, we won't get much dividends from the shares we hold. By then, what else will we have except the title of a short-seller?"
Vice President Wu nodded heavily. Old Yan was right. As the vice president of a listed company, he knew the operation inside too well. At that time, I would be the fish and the knife, and I could only let them control me.
"Director Shi, I am also unwilling to accept this, but what can I do? Isn't this how the business world works? The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. If we lose, we lose. We can only try our best to save some energy before we fail completely, and get some capital to turn things around, so as to plan for the future. If we still do nothing now , then what future can we talk about? By then, we may not even be able to support our wife and children. Do you want to see such a result?"
Shi Lei smiled bitterly and nodded: "I understand. I'm not a fool who would sink with the ship even though I know it's going to sink. But Lao Yan, since you know the consequences, why do you want to..."
"Director Shi, someone has to do this, right? You definitely can't do it. You are the leader of us brothers. If you go in, we will all be finished. Old Wu can't do it either. He has a family with many elderly and children. Moreover, Old Wu's position in the company is very important. He must not get into trouble."
"But it's different for me. My parents are long gone, and I only have one child. My wife and child have long been sent abroad, so I'm the only one left in China. Although I hold the title of vice president in the company, to put it bluntly, my position as vice president is just a dispensable one. So no matter from which aspect, I'm the most suitable person to operate it."
"Of course, this is a worst-case scenario. What if the operation goes smoothly and nothing happens? Right? Also, if I really go to jail for this, you guys out there can help me out. Even if I really have to stay in jail for a few years, at least it's not a loss from other perspectives, right?"
