I called my wife Chen Yinuo and explained the situation to her.
Ye Chen drove away from home in a hurry.
However, Wang Meng and Zhu Wu were not invited this time.
Zhang Family Courtyard.
Ye Chen came with the food.
Before he could exchange a few words with the old secretary Zhang Weimin, he was kicked to the kitchen by the old man.
It's getting dark.
Under Ye Chen's arrangement.
Three dishes and a soup were served hot on the table.
"Old Secretary, where are the talents you mentioned?" Ye Chen asked.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Weimin glared at him unhappily. Then he unceremoniously picked up the fragrant dishes in the room with his chopsticks. "Xiao Ye, there are rumors that a while ago a Chinese trader shorted Stella's stock and made more than twenty times the profit in just four days! Do you know about this?
Several hundred million?
While eating, Zhang Weimin suddenly asked this question in a playful tone.
"Hmm? You must have heard of this. What's the matter?" Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat.
"What kind of person do you think would go against the grain and do such a reverse operation? Although I'm not very familiar with stocks, I often see news about Stella in the news, and I have some one-sided understanding of Stella! Tell me, with the momentum and stock price of Stella, how many courageous people would dare to short sell it?"
Zhang Weimin looked at Ye Chen with a smile in his eyes.
Catching Zhang Weimin's intriguing expression, Ye Chen smiled bitterly to himself.
He knew that Zhang Weimin was suspicious of him!
"Old Secretary, your words have other intentions! Could it be that you suspect that I am the one who shorted Stella?" Ye Chen looked relaxed.
"It is said, it is said, it is said that the short-selling profits with 50 times leverage eventually flowed into the banking system of Jiangzhou! Of course, not many people know about this!" Zhang Weimin became more and more intrigued.
"Old Secretary, just tell me my ID number! So after all you've said, you still think that person is me? I'm wondering, am I really a god in your mind?" Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"Yes, you are a monster! I have lived for more than eighty years, and I have never seen anyone who can compare with you!" Zhang Weimin said bluntly.
This time, Ye Chen was speechless.
"Are you praising me too much?" Ye Chen laughed.
Little did he know that the old man disagreed.
After eating a piece of steamed fish, he said, "I have tested that brat Jingshan, and he thought he had no flaws, but who am I? I am his grandfather, the grandfather who watched him grow up. I know what he says is true and what is false. As soon as I see him raise his butt, I know what he wants to do! The shorting of Stella is related to him, but he doesn't have that kind of ability. The only conclusion is that he has followed you to eat meat and drink soup!"
Zhang Weimin smiled and continued, "Don't be in a hurry to speak. Listen to me first. Before, you shorted the stocks of Sihai Group. A few days later, Sihai Group had problems and the stock price plummeted. Later, you went to acquire Admiralty Village. A few days after that, the subway was connected to Admiralty Village. In order to develop it, Hengda Group had to buy it from you at a premium of more than ten times. I won't give other examples, just these two things. Use these two things to compare the shorting of Stella. First, you shorted Stella with a leverage of 50 times, and then Stella had problems, causing the stock price to plummet by 40% in four days! So, is this exactly the same situation really a coincidence?"
According to Zhang Weimin's reasoning.
Ye Chen was speechless.
Although he is also an old fox who has lived two lives.
But in front of Zhang Weimin, who has been in politics for half his life, no matter how experienced he is, he has no way to refute Zhang Weimin's argument under this circumstance.
"It's not a coincidence!"
Looking at Zhang Weimin's wise old eyes, Ye Chen had no choice but to reveal his cards.
"You, you, sometimes I wonder if you came back from the future. How do you know that something will happen to Stella?" Zhang Weimin narrowed his eyes.
"It has been foreseeable that something will happen to Stella. There have been a lot of complaints about Stella's brake failure. Although they have been suppressed, it will eventually explode! Whether it is due to competition from peers or the capital behind Stella wants to reap profits, etc. In short, there are too many reasons for Stella to explode and its stock price to plummet, so I made that move. The reason why I used that leverage to short sell is also very simple. My intuition tells me that from the perspective of financial capital reap profits, when Stella's stock price hit an unprecedented high, it was time for financial capital to reap profits!" Ye Chen said.
"Have you ever thought about what if you guessed wrong?" Zhang Weimin said.
"With Yiren Ruxue, this money-making machine, as my base, even if I make a mistake, it won't hurt me badly! But when I think the opportunity has come, if I don't grab it tightly, I will definitely regret it!" Ye Chen said.
"You are gambling!" Zhang Weimin put down his chopsticks.
Ye Chen didn't say anything.
However, Zhang Weimin looked at him and shook his head, sighing, "Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, haven't you learned enough lessons in the past few years? Really, if you were to go all out in business, I wouldn't say a word to you, but stocks, after all, are just gambling on the table, just covered with a layer of legal and glamorous clothes! In your current situation, if you take steady steps, within three to five years, you will be famous throughout China. Why do you have to touch those things again? Why do you have to take such a scary risk? Is it really that serious?"
Ye Chen, who was forced to smile bitterly by Zhang Weimin's earnest words, could only endure being misunderstood.
If he didn't know the trajectory of all this, how could he possibly do this?
So, it was not a risk at all.
But he definitely couldn't tell Zhang Weimin about this, not even a word.
I could only lower my eyebrows and say, "The old secretary is right!"
"It's not a lesson, I just don't want you to mess up a good hand!" Zhang Weimin said, "It is said that every profession has its own specialties. If you are a trader who plays with financial numbers, it's fine! But you are a businessman, a businessman with a promising future, you can't lose sight of the main goal!
"Yes, what the old secretary said makes sense!" Ye Chen said.
"No, looking at you like this, why...are you not convinced?" Zhang Weimin was puzzled as he did not expect Ye Chen to make any excuses.
"Old Secretary, everything you said makes sense. How can I not be convinced?" Ye Chen shook his head and smiled.
"Forget it, forget it! I believe you understand this principle better than I do!"
He sighed helplessly and laughed.
Zhang Weimin changed the subject, "Okay, let's not talk about those big principles. Tell me how much Jingshan earned from following you this time."
After saying that, Zhang Weimin picked up the soup bowl and took a sip of the soup.
"It's estimated to be tens of billions!" Ye Chen said slowly and lightly.
