"Mr. Tang, I just received so news. I don't know how the recent happenings among the top executives of Sichuan University Group got out, but various rumors are flying online. I'm afraid our stock price might experience so issues." As she entered the room, Ma Yilin didn't even sit down before speaking to Tang Yung.
Upon hearing this news, Tang Yung frowned slightly. She was previously the secretary of Jiangbei City, and had a certain understanding of the capital markets.
For a publicly listed company, any changes among several top executives are bound to cause many speculations in the capital market, leading to significant fluctuations in stock prices.
If the stock price drops significantly, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction. Institutional holders aside, many retail investors, unaware of the truth, might follow suit and sell off large quantities of stocks. Once the stock price falls below the net value, the company will face delisting or bankruptcy.
The only solution at this mont is to turn passive into active, and first stabilize the stock price.
"Xiao Ma, I understand. You go ahead and get busy." Tang Yung couldn't think of a solution at the mont, so she could only say this.
Ma Yilin looked at Tang Yung's calm face, not knowing if she had thought of a counterasure, and had no choice but to turn and walk out.
Tang Yung opened her computer and switched the page to the Sichuan University Group stock page; it was only nine in the morning and there was still half an hour before the market opened.
Opening a famous stock market forum, Tang Yung saw quite a few discussions about Sichuan University Group stocks, most of which were negative news.
Currently, the stock price of Sichuan University Group is sixteen yuan seventy cents per share, and there's only five minutes left before the market opens. In the five minutes prior to opening, there will be a session for batch auctioning.
Tang Yung kept her eyes fixed on the stock price of Sichuan University Group during these few minutes of batch bidding, and sure enough, the stock price dropped by more than three points.
By the ti the market opened, the stock price of Sichuan University Group had already dropped by more than six points within a few minutes. Fortunately, a few large buy orders ca in, temporarily stabilizing the downward trend.
While focusing on the stock price, she suddenly heard a woman's crying outside the office. Tang Yung was a bit surprised; this was a workplace, so how could there be a woman crying.
Just as she was about to get up and take a look, she heard the woman's crying already reaching her office door, followed by the door being pushed open, Xiao Feng walked in sobbing, with Ma Yilin and two group employees behind her.
Tang Yung attended Xiao Feng and Huang Bo's wedding, thus she recognized her and knew that she was Huang Bo's wife. Seeing her with a big belly and a face full of tears, she couldn't help but stand up and say, "Sister-in-law, what's happened to you?"
Although Huang Bo always called Lin Chuan "Brother Chuan", he was actually a year older than Lin Chuan, and Xiao Feng was also older than Tang Yung, thus she called her sister-in-law.
"Secretary Tang, Huang Bo, sothing happened to Huang Bo." Upon seeing Tang Yung, Xiao Feng beca even more upset, hugged her shoulders, and started crying.
Tang Yung was sowhat astonished and said, "Sister-in-law, are you mistaken? I haven't heard of anything happening to Huang Bo. Who did you hear this from?"
Through her sobs, Xiao Feng said, "I tried calling Huang Bo this morning but couldn't reach him, so I called Liu Ming who was with Huang Bo, only to find out Huang Bo had been shot and killed."
Such a major incident, how could she not be aware, Tang Yung exclaid, looking at Ma Yilin, only to see her eyes slightly red, indicating with a nod towards Tang Yung.
Ma Yilin's indication was clear that the news of Huang Bo's incident was true.
Tang Yung hurriedly helped Xiao Feng onto the sofa to sit down, comforting her, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't be too upset yet, once we confirm the news, we will think of a solution."
This being a workplace, Xiao Feng crying here was indeed sowhat inappropriate, so Tang Yung asked Ma Yilin to escort Xiao Feng back ho first.
Even in tears, Xiao Feng refused to leave, insisting on booking a flight ticket imdiately to the Middle Eastern region.
Tang Yung dared not let her go; one being Xiao Feng's current pregnancy, should anything happen en route, what then; secondly, with Huang Bo encountering an incident over there, she herself hadn't yet figured out the situation, should Xiao Feng encounter danger, what then.
After much effort, Tang Yung finally persuaded Xiao Feng to return ho. Before she could catch her breath, she received a call from Luo Guoqing.
Luo Guoqing inford Tang Yung that he went to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission this morning right after work began and figured out the situation. The funds were transferred from the overseas Citibank in the United States. As to who transferred it, that would require an investigation in the United States to uncover.
The funds being transferred from Citibank in the United States was indeed beyond Tang Yung's expectations. To thoroughly understand the matter, after considering carefully, Tang Yung decided to find soone to investigate over there.
Tang Yung knew so people in the United States, but to figure things out thoroughly, she needed to find a trustworthy person.
After much pondering, Tang Yung finally thought of soone, her old classmate, who is now running a large finance investnt company in Beijing, Gao Xiaoxiao.
Speaking of Gao Xiaoxiao, her background is even more complex than Tang Yung's, hardly describable in a few words.
Having thought of Gao Xiaoxiao, Tang Yung imdiately took out her phone and called Gao Xiaoxiao.
Gao Xiaoxiao, a woman of about the sa age as Tang Yung, went to university in Beijing. Although her looks are not on par with Tang Yung, due to her background, she has a wide network.
This woman is very quick-witted. After graduating, she cleverly utilized her network to establish a finance investnt company, and over a few years, it has gotten bigger and bigger.
Receiving a call from Tang Yung, Gao Xiaoxiao was indeed a bit surprised; after all, Tang Yung had rarely called her over the years.
"Mr. Tang, what made you think of calling ? Are you back in Beijing?" Gao Xiaoxiao said, half-jokingly.
As the CEO of a large financial investnt company, Gao Xiaoxiao's information was more well-inford than expected; how could she not know that Tang Yung had resigned?
Tang Yung chuckled, saying over the phone, "Xiao Xiao, listen to you, it sounds as if I've forgotten you."
Gao Xiaoxiao's voice on the phone sounded a bit coy as she said, "Mr. Tang, you have indeed forgotten . Alright, no more jokes, tell , what's your instruction with this sudden call?"
Tang Yung said, "It's nothing major, just need a favor from you."
Gao Xiaoxiao laughed, "I knew you wouldn't call for no reason, tell , what's the matter you need help with?"
Tang Yung said, "Xiao Xiao, I rember your company has business dealings with Citibank in the United States, right?"
Gao Xiaoxiao said, "Yes, we do have so business engagents."
Tang Yung said, "I want you to trace a transfer, the funds were moved from Citibank in the United States to the Jiangbei City State-owned Assets Office, and mainly find out who transferred these funds."
Gao Xiaoxiao contemplated for a mont, then said, "It's a bit tricky, but since you're asking, Tang Yung, I'll do my best."
Tang Yung smiled, "I appreciate it, by the way, let ask you another thing, if a listed company experiences a stock price drop due to so special reasons, is there an effective way to stabilize the stock price?"
Gao Xiaoxiao said, "That's easy, just release so favorable news online, if that doesn't stabilize it, you can buy back your own shares."
Tang Yung frowned slightly and said, "Xiao Xiao, to be honest with you, I'm now the executive director of Sichuan University Group in Jiangbei City; I've just taken office and already encountered these problems. Do you have any way to help ?"
Gao Xiaoxiao was stunned by Tang Yung's words, hesitated for a while, and then said on the phone, "This matter is hard to discuss over the phone. I happen to be going to Jiangbei City tomorrow, so let's talk then."
...
Under the combined attack of Lin Chuan and Zhang Wenhui, they quickly apprehended the person manipulating the pack of wolves.
Before Zhang Wenhui's arrival, Lin Chuan had already revealed his identity to this guy through their conversation; he was one of the Ghost Gate.
"Can you tell how you knew about our operation?" Lin Chuan said coldly, looking at the man.
The man snorted and said, "You guys, over a thousand strong army, marching as you did; how could we not know?"
True, their blatant advance was impossible for the other side not to be aware of; Lin Chuan indeed asked a sowhat redundant question.
Zhang Wenhui said, "Can you tell what action your Ghost Gate plans to take against us?"
The man snorted and fell silent.
To deal with such a guy, the most direct and effective thod is a harsh interrogation. Lin Chuan coldly smiled, walked up to him, and applied his usual technique.
He grabbed the man's right arm and twisted it backwards. A cracking sound followed as the whole right arm was dislocated by Lin Chuan's twist.
Ah...
The man gave a miserably painful cry, his facial expression distorted by the pain, yet despite the unbearable pain, he still didn't speak.
Seeing that this move didn't work on the man, Lin Chuan followed up by stomping hard on the right leg, almost breaking the lower leg.
Yet the man still gritted his teeth and refused to speak; clearly, he was a tough nut.
After a few moves, although he scread in pain, he didn't utter a word.
Though this man was an enemy, Lin Chuan's nature was indeed impressed by his stubbornness, saying, "Seeing you're so brave, I won't make it hard for you, you can go."
Sweat was pouring down the man's face, looking at Lin Chuan, he got up limping, and turned to leave.
Zhang Wenhui stopped him, saying, "Carry a ssage to your master, tomorrow we'll be at Ghost Gate, hope he sees reason and voluntarily surrenders."
The man turned back to look at Zhang Wenhui and Lin Chuan, saying, "I will deliver your ssage, but I can tell you, we will never be slaughtered at will."
