Chapter 320: Visa Approved
"Isn't the price a bit too high for raising the sign?"
After dinner, Chen Jie came to the study.
She had personally experienced Li Yuan's operations over the past few days.
He could have raised his hand earlier, and now he has more than 50% of the chips in his hand.
Even at the shareholders' meeting, he can be sure of victory.
But what’s the practical significance?
Spending more than 36 billion US dollars, just to be rejected?
By then, no matter what happens, the loss will be around 20%, which is several billion dollars.
Li Yuan really didn't care about losing this little money, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was not worth it.
Li Yuan said: "The chips I have now are enough to deal with Boeing. Let's tease them for a few days. Once your passport comes out and you get your visa, you can go there."
"oh."
At this point, Chen Jie could see that Li Yuan was determined to disgust Wall Street, and she had no choice.
Then Li Yuan said: "The layout has been completed. You can go back and rest tonight. I can handle it here by myself."
"Okay, but I also want to stick to it..."
Chen Jie imitated Song Jiajia's tone.
“We’re out of stock at home.”
Li Yuan's words stunned Chen Jie.
He opened his mouth to say something else, but finally stopped himself.
"Then I'll go wash the dishes and go to bed."
After saying that, she left the study.
She knew very well how much inventory Li Yuan had at home, and even the inventory she had was quite a lot.
Normally, it is enough for half a year.
Even use one every two days.
But how long has it been?
One month? All used up?
This month, she only used two...
As for taking risks, she didn't want to.
Having children is so boring, and she doesn't want children, not in this life.
After she left, Li Yuan went into work mode.
He hasn't been irritable at all lately.
With Song Jiajia around, he couldn't get angry at all.
Unlike before, after high-intensity work, the first thing that can’t bear it is not the body, but the mind.
Money can make people restless, and the work process makes their brains extremely active. Once they relax, the brain will feel empty, and over time, they will become violent.
Now……
He wanted to keep some anger in his body. Without it, he would lose interest in life.
Unfortunately, Song Jiajia didn't give him any chance at all.
He thought it would only be the first few days, but he didn't expect that Song Jiajia's start would last for a month.
He didn't lie to Chen Jie, he really had no stock left.
The inventory of both sides combined was more than half a year, and except for Song Jiajia wasting one-third of it, the rest was all used up.
As the U.S. stock market opened, Li Yuan directly began to quote prices to Boeing.
The report is not high, only 19 points.
So, Boeing opened at nineteen points.
Which is the most eye-catching stock in the U.S. stock market these days?
Without a doubt, it is Boeing.
Today is the fourth day, and Boeing’s stock price has quadrupled in four days. Today, its market value has officially exceeded 120 billion US dollars.
Although it is not as high as its peak, it once fell to 50 billion US dollars amid the continuous circuit breakers in the U.S. stock market. Who wouldn’t want to get involved in such a counter-trend rebound?
It’s just a pity that the brokerage firm doesn’t allow short orders anymore. Long orders? I can’t buy in…
You can still buy it on Monday and Tuesday, but you can’t buy it at all on Wednesday.
Today, Thursday, there is no doubt about it.
The stock price rose by 19 points at the opening, and no one was able to buy afterwards.
The transaction volume was not large, only $200 million.
In the context of A-shares, this pattern is an extreme increase in volume.
This shows that the situation is very seriously controlled.
After a sharp increase of 29%, the trading volume increased from more than 200 million US dollars to more than 700 million US dollars.
All of these that have increased in price were sold by Li Yuan.
Of the shares that Qingtian Capital raised, 9% were arranged in advance for him by Tang Jianjun. Basically, all the chips that could be deducted were obtained, and not much money was spent.
The remaining 20% was transferred by Li Yuan to Qingtian Capital, all at cost price.
However, with the raising of the placard, the chips have been locked and cannot be traded.
Essentially, those chips are meaningless.
But if we can get a little more and make up 30%, then the significance will be much greater.
In the past few days, Li Yuan has not told Chen Jie any of his thoughts, and the same goes for Tang Jianjun.
Just let those people guess openly.
Even if Chen Jie saw all his chips clearly, she still didn't know what he was doing.
He won't trust anyone on this matter.
He was ready to raise the sign from the beginning, but the timing was not right.
I thought I would have to play with Wall Street a few more times, but I was snatched away yesterday.
Being snatched away by others means that the opportunity has come, so I raised my hand directly today to give the other party the illusion that I am only short of that few chips.
From the beginning to the end, he had no shortage of chips. Not counting the chips from Sky Capital, he still had 23% of the chips he could operate.
He may not be able to earn additional money, it depends on the other party's determination in the future.
However, he will definitely squeeze out the value of these 23% chips!
Boeing's market value is now close to 140 billion US dollars. If he clears out the chips in his hand now, he will have already broken even on this operation, and the remaining nearly 30% of the chips are pure profit.
But he didn't expect to do it so easily.
The high turnover seen on the market since Monday was actually his chips being moved back and forth for show to others.
On Wednesday, Wall Street was scrambling for chips, and the chips they were scrambling for were also his own chips.
He has always been playing two roles at once.
It feels great to have a high degree of control over the car, and this is the first time he has experienced this in his life.
Whatever he wants to show Wall Street, Wall Street has to see.
After offering $500 million, he immediately started raising his bid.
However, no matter how high he pulls the price, Wall Street is still higher than him, making it clear that they don't want the chips to fall into the hands of outsiders.
Wall Street is united. They have reached a consensus among themselves and are only targeting outsiders.
The trading session ended on Thursday, when Boeing rose 39 points and $600 million in chips were traded.
Li Yuan's plan has been set up.
Whether it is Tang Jianjun or Chen Jie, in this incident, they are just pawns borrowed by Li Yuan.
He knew what Tang Jianjun was doing and would definitely leak the news.
He knew that there must be a lot of people watching Chen Jie.
This was his final test on Chen Jie.
As long as Chen Jie doesn't collude with the West, he can accept her even if she is an agent arranged by Tang Jianjun.
Closing.
Have a meal.
Then he returned to the bedroom.
I thought today would be a peaceful day, but as soon as I came in, I saw Song Jiajia holding something in her hand and licking her tongue.
"Hey, stick it on..."
Li Yuan: “…”
"Where did you get it?"
"Yeah ...I hid it on purpose before."
"Why did you think of hiding this thing?"
"Because I found that there are missing ones... So far, there are two missing in total."
Why is there so little?
There are only three people in this family, and Song Jiajia knows this very well.
She didn't say it explicitly.
"She's going to be out in a few days, and you'll have to cook then. Take some time to learn from her. We have to hold out for at least twenty days."
"Well, okay, I'll learn from Sister Chen tomorrow."
"Why do you seem so happy?"
"Really? Hehe..."
As she spoke, Song Jiajia had already torn open the package.
…
For the West Coast, it is already evening.
Bierce and his group held another meeting and gathered together.
The multimedia screen next to it shows the changes in Boeing’s stock price today.
Beers explained: "Today there were two transactions, with a total volume of only $1 billion. But it is clear that we have successfully gathered the way for Sky Capital to obtain chips, and they did not get a single share today.
And according to the data provided by our analysts, at the beginning, Kingkong Capital agreed with the other party to trade chips at around 29 points. After we intercepted it, the other party decisively stopped and then agreed with Kingkong Capital to trade chips at 39 points. Both times were intercepted by us.
But obviously, one billion dollars is not a lot of chips, and Sky Capital will definitely have other means to obtain chips in the future. What we can do now is to suppress the market, even if Boeing's market value rises to 200 billion US dollars or 300 billion US dollars, it doesn't matter . "
As Biers spoke of today's conclusion, everyone nodded.
There is no disagreement on this point. After all, Kingkong Capital has already raised its stake and locked up nearly 30% of the chips. Even if Boeing's market value is raised to US$300 billion, it will not cost much.
Beers continued, "This is the most critical moment. Due to our negligence, Sky Capital has already obtained too many chips. Now the only thing we can do is to defend the bottom line of the market. This is also the last battle between us and Sky Capital!
If we can’t defend it, we lose!”
If Sky Capital only had 25% of the chips, they wouldn't have to be so extreme. With more than 200 billion US dollars, they could just let go a little.
However, Kingkong Capital has already held a 29.75% stake, leaving them no room at all.
There cannot be any mistakes. No matter how high the stock price is, they can only follow it.
Even though Boeing’s current market value has exceeded 160 billion, its market value increases by several billion dollars a day.
Boeing’s market value may exceed $200 billion tomorrow.
Since Li Yuan didn't give up, they had no choice but to stay with him.
Everyone throws money at each other to see who can last until the end.
Beers: "We also need to contact the capital holding Boeing shares as much as possible and buy the chips in their hands. But now... there is a high probability that they are gone, and we can't offer too high a price. So... what we have to do next is to spread the word that anyone who dares to trade their chips is an enemy of Wall Street, forcing them to bring all their chips to the market for trading."
A two-pronged approach was used to cut off the channel for Kingkong Capital to continue to obtain chips.
Anyway, not much money has been spent so far, only a few billion dollars in total. Compared with what Kingsoft Capital spent, it is probably less than one-tenth of it.
"William, Sky Capital still has nearly 30% of the chips in its hands. Even if we prevent him from issuing a takeover offer, what should we do when the chips in his hands are released?"
This is a heavy topic.
You can't just drop the stock price after the ban is lifted, right?
In that case, Sky Capital can still increase its holdings.
There is only one safe means.
Let Kingkong Capital take the initiative to reduce its holding ratio.
Biers thought for a while and said, "Not all of the shares will be lifted. After half a year, at most half of them will be lifted. By then, as long as they actively reduce their positions, we will buy a portion of them. If they reduce their positions to less than 20%, we will be safe. Then we can just bring the stock price down."
If you do this, you will definitely lose money.
As for how much loss will be, it depends on how high the stock price will eventually rise.
"That way, Sky Capital won't lose money."
"Do we still expect him to lose money? Even if we lose billions of dollars, we still have to save face! Is everyone's face so worthless?"
No one spoke.
With so many chips in hand, the situation is already very passive.
You can only follow step by step.
This was their method before.
Now it is being used on oneself.
If they had been able to hold on to their chips before, they wouldn't be in such a passive situation today.
Except for Boeing, for other stocks, Sky Capital would not be able to collect 30% even if it spent $1 trillion.
Boeing is the worst stock and also the most embarrassing stock.
And just like that, Friday came.
Pretty much like Thursday.
Boeing opened up a dozen points, then slowly rose to 29 points. At this position, it traded $500 million and then stopped.
It then continued to rise to 39 points, with another $500 million in transactions.
For the whole day, apart from these two transactions, the total transaction volume was only US$1.4 billion.
Boeing's market value has exceeded US$220 billion.
In the evening, it is still Wall Street’s summary time.
There is no doubt that they have become more determined in their thinking, and they will not back down even if Boeing's market value exceeds US$300 billion.
…
Saturday.
Li Yuan received a call and then found Chen Jie.
"Sister Chen, the passport has been processed, and I have arranged for someone to take you out. When do you want to leave?"
The outside was still sealed off, so Li Yuan’s contact used some small privileges.
“When will the takeover offer be released?”
Chen Jie asked.
"It's almost time. Wall Street won't be able to hold out for a few more days."
"Okay, then have someone send me a photo of my passport. I'll apply online first, and once it's approved, I'll go to the Shanghai Embassy to get a stamp tomorrow. By then... should I come back or just leave?"
"Just go. It's too troublesome to come back and you have to be quarantined."
“Well, then I’ll make more food at that time. It should be enough for two days, so that you won’t be poisoned by Song Jiajia.”
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Okay."
He really hoped that Chen Jie would be denied a visa, as a denial of a visa would mean that Wall Street did not want to give her any chance at all.
…
On Sunday, Li Yuan walked Chen Jie a few steps downstairs of the community building.
When Chen Jie got in the car, Li Yuan said, "Have a safe trip."
Chen Jie looked at Li Yuan with a complicated expression and closed the car door silently.
Perhaps both parties are well aware of this matter.
It was late in the evening.
Li Yuan received the message from Chen Jie.
"I've got my visa, but I haven't bought my ticket yet. I've already contacted the airline, but the earliest they can find a spot is the day after tomorrow."
Flights are limited, with only two flights left each day. Even if you have some privileges, you still have to wait.
"How's the food and lodging?"
"What can I do? I'm trapped in the hotel. I'm not allowed to go anywhere. I can only stay in my room."
"good."
