Reinventing the Millennium

"In YIKE's short squeeze, I saw stock price manipulation, suspected fraud, secret position building, and insider trading. Do you think I'm just talking about institutions?"

"President Fang used public opinion to leverage retail investors this time. I can only say that I am shocked!"

"The Internet public opinion platform has greatly reduced the cost of communication. Without the Internet platform, this short squeeze would never have achieved such great results. I feel that retail investors in many places around the world have participated in this short squeeze. Hi, I The media paper has been published again.”

"The stock market is no longer a market, but has become a battlefield. The SEC has never disappointed in its slow action."

"It's normal for hedge funds to lose money on short selling, but such large-scale losses are really rare! Oh, no, I just saw it last month!"

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang, stop playing like this. Do you know how great the temptation of Yike's bad news is to a college student who has just stepped out of campus to get rich?"

"This comprehensive liquidation of hedge funds has itself become a part of pushing up YIKE's stock price. It is estimated that the major known institutions have lost at least nearly 10 billion US dollars in total. I don't believe Mr. Fang didn't take advantage of the opportunity to make money, even if His stock is locked in."

The discussion atmosphere about the Yike incident on Quora is more rational than on Twitter, but there is no too specific analysis.

It is late at night in the United States, and everyone is under shock. Most of them have general emotions, occasionally mixed with the pride of retail investors who participated in the short squeeze, or the helplessness of the short-seller investors who were beaten.

In the past two months, Yike has squeezed first and then squeezed out, killing large, medium and small institutions. Its stock price has exceeded 600 US dollars twice, and its market value has entered the top ten in the world. Any performance will be a case in a financial textbook, but it happened in a very short period of time. Appears twice...

Open your eyes and see a black swan, and then open your eyes and see another black swan. It is inevitable that people will think, is this what swans are like?

How to analyze this?

Before all the details of last month have been revealed, this month’s irrational emotions have washed away the Tianling Gai...

Let’s just hate, worship, fear, and curse the man who led the two financial incidents from the bottom of his heart.

Fang Zhuo browsed American Zhihu for a while and had no desire to participate. However, he was a little puzzled when he saw an article criticizing himself.

This person made his position clear when he came up. He was neither short nor long, just a real passer-by. However, he believed that he had violated the laws and regulations and responded with extremely strong condemnation and contempt.

Fang Zhuo asked in the comment area in confusion: Why?

Soon, in less than a minute, the user changed the entire content to praise, and even changed the avatar to a screenshot of Fang Zhuo's online press conference.

Fang Zhuo:......

Is this fear or reverse phishing?

Fang Zhuo couldn't figure it out for a while, but soon found that there were more and more similar answers, as if he wanted to attract his attention.

He shook his head and closed American Zhihu.

However, just as Fang Zhuo's news on Zhihu in the United States disappeared, another Wall Street celebrity rushed into the website after hearing the news.

"Former short-selling king" and "former number one hedge fund man" Paulson regained his freedom after a short mandatory investigation. He immediately tweeted @Fang Zhuo, gritting his teeth and asking the person involved to come out to clarify whether he had any There was no insider trading with him.

But there was no movement on Twitter, and Fang Zhuo’s account status stayed at a few hours ago.

When Paulson heard that Fang Zhuoren was on Quora, he immediately came in again and left a message under the news again, talking about the same issue.

No insider trading! There is no backhand going long! I have been firmly bearish on Yike's stock price from the very beginning!

In the first round, you use your own funds to short-sell, and in the second round, you bring client funds to short-sell!

Losing money by short selling is a matter of ability, but my attitude is definitely down-to-earth!

Paulson already knew that Freetrade's user information and operation records had been retrieved, and he remembered what was going on. He just heard that Freetrade was easy to operate and was trying out new tests!

Why, 1 share is also called secret position building? Is this also evidence of insider trading?

Where is the law of heaven?

Paulson called Fang Zhuo and found that the number was blocked. He contacted Yike Company but received no response. He wished he could smuggle himself to China, grabbed Fang Zhuo in person, and asked him to clarify for himself.

He and I are not in the same group at all!

You, Fang Zhuo, have already won, why are you throwing dirty water like this again?

Dirty water like yours can kill someone!

Paulson had nowhere to redress his grievances and was so angry that he even released his own operating records to no avail. No one believed that this was only an operation of one stock...

He desperately hopes that Fang Zhuo can stand up. I am afraid that this person in the world knows best how wronged he is!

Unfortunately... Quora, Twitter, Facebook, and phone calls have all come to nothing.

Paulson felt that Fang really wanted to drive him out of the financial circle.

In the early hours of the morning, John Paulson went up to the rooftop of the hotel and found that someone was already thinking about life. After asking about it, he found out that it was a bankrupt colleague. He gave up the idea because he was not bankrupt and had enough money. If you spend the rest of your life, you may not be able to rise again in the future.

Paulson gave up all hopeless ideas and prepared to sell off the excess property he had purchased after becoming rich.

Obao's rooftop time is exactly lunch time here in Shanghai.

Although Yike's stock may still have some slight fluctuations on the second trading day, overall, this round of short squeeze has achieved everything it wanted. Large institutions did not get lucky this time, and customers were busy In order to protect funds, MIGA successfully sold its shares, and Nokia had to sit down and negotiate again.

Fang Zhuo ate in the cafeteria, surrounded by senior executives.

Although he is currently in China, his attention is focused on the financial battlefield. When he appeared this time, the response he received from everyone was unanimous applause.

"You haven't rehearsed, have you?" Fang Zhuo laughed.

"Mr. Fang, absolutely not. This is impossible without encouragement!" Qi He, who came back from the European market to report on his work, said loudly, "From last night to this morning, my phone calls were almost overpopulated by European customers. Many of them wanted to your signature!"

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "The flattery is a bit much."

Qi He immediately took out his mobile phone and took two steps over to show Mr. Fang the call record. Although it sounded fake and a little disgusting, it turned out to be true. The attention caused by Yike's short squeeze was global.

It is said that in addition to the well-known British Man Group, there are other European funds shorting Yike this time, and there are also European retail investors who are short-selling this time.

Yi Ke, who has killed a lot, is too legendary, and the ruthless leader behind the scenes is even more fascinating.

What kind of person can take such repeated calculations of institutions and drag them to the chopping block?

It seems it’s time to correct the impression of the leader of Yike!

Is he still in the minority making smartphones?

With the release of Yike's first-generation Mars, the advertisement in which Fang Zhuo appeared in person was very popular with consumers, and his coolness is still mentioned by many people today.

But now the financial frenzy has clearly eclipsed the impression on mobile phones.

What does Fang always look like now?

He is an artist of coercion, a populist doer, an authority on online violence, a king of behind-the-scenes operations, and a master of power-for-money transactions!

Of course, the comments he heard one after another only went through Qi He's mind. He felt that he should not describe it like this at this moment.

"Mr. Fang, many friends in Europe say that you are an artist, that you are a doer, that you are an authority, a king, and a master!" Qi He said with admiration on his face, "Mr. Fang, I swear to God, they are That’s what he said.”

Fang Zhuo laughed loudly: "So many words? Are they true or false?"

Qi He immediately called his colleagues: "If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Yu, ask Dr. Wang, what I just reported before you came here is absolutely true!"

Yu Hong shrugged, that was indeed what was described just now.

"Anyway, I don't know about the United States, but Mr. Fang has a large number of fans in Europe." Qi He was sure of this.

Fang Zhuo smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the bragging was almost over.

He glanced at the people around him. Mr. Yu was still in the country due to security issues. Dr. Wang Jian, who was in charge of cloud computing, was going to report to him in the afternoon. Ji Minghua, who came from SMIC to ice core processing Lin'an No. 2 Factory, had also arranged a schedule...

There seems to be a lot of things ahead of us.

Secretary Liu Zonghong brought another dish.

Fang Zhuo noticed that Dr. Wang Jian seemed to like to eat salty food, so he put the plate towards him and asked Ji Minghua casually: "Dr. Ji, I saw the report submitted by Mr. Luo last week and said that Qimonda's patent was good. Progress."

Ji Minghua immediately became energetic. He joined Ice Core this year. His work plan is very clear, which is to bring Lin'an's second storage factory on the track, and Qimonda's patent is the top priority.

However, Qimonda has to go through bankruptcy procedures and try its best to protect the rights and interests of creditors. Former CEO Luo Jianhua has been working hard for this.

Today, the global storage industry is still in the doldrums, but Qimonda is not willing to let go of its only valuable patents easily.

"We have been talking with Qimonda since February. Qimonda's bankruptcy committee is suing Infineon again. The patent price it has quoted is relatively high. We are mainly stuck here." Ji Minghua said about the situation.

Fang Zhuo nodded and said without blinking: "How high is the quotation? You can add more points appropriately."

Ji Minghua looked at the outsiders around him and gave a specific figure: "Qimonda's packaged patent price is 120 million euros, and our internal opinion is 080-100 million euros."

"It's not bad." Fang Zhuo didn't make a decision immediately and said, "Dr. Ji, please contact Mr. Luo online at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Let's talk about this again."

Ji Minghua smiled, vaguely hoping to speed up the process.

The people next to me are also happy for Bingxin's Lin'an No. 2 Factory. Well, if you are happy for them, you are happy for yourself.

The richest man in the world was sitting next to him. Look, the richest man in the world took a bite of dried radish!

This party always wants to release water, so it certainly cannot be all allowed to be run away by the ice core. More or less, it can flow to the projects of several companies.

Ji Minghua took two bites of food and suddenly said: "Mr. Fang, in addition to patents, Qimonda also has a R\u0026D center in Xi'an. It is one of its four major R\u0026D centers in the world. If we can acquire it, it will be beneficial to us." Lin’an No. 2 Factory is a great addition.”

This is a local R\u0026D center in Xi'an that took a lot of effort to allow Qimonda to settle in. It also has good cooperation with Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology. Now that Qimonda is in trouble, many people have left this R\u0026D center.

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly and said simply: "Let's talk in the afternoon."

Ji Minghua even felt more delicious when eating.

People at the table were chatting and laughing. When the topic came to an end, Dr. Wang Jian from Cloud Computing and Director Qi He from Yike Europe put down their chopsticks in unison, and then they both noticed each other's actions.

Qi He respected the old and loved the young, and asked Dr. Wang to talk about his affairs first, and then picked up the food with chopsticks again.

"Mr. Fang, I want to call a few more people to come over and talk about cloud computing later. We may need to expand the team in this area, is that okay?" Wang Jian asked his boss.

"No problem, the more talents, the better." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Cloud computing needs to increase investment. Amazon is doing a very good job. This time our... cooperation platform Freetrade is used Amazon Cloud Service, you may not know, in the past few days, this software has added millions of users, but the experience has always been online, this direction is really making progress."

Wang Jian nodded repeatedly. He could always sense Mr. Fang's firm interest in development in this area.

Fang Zhuo took a sip of the soup and looked up to find a circle of people looking at him with dazzling eyes. This was because they all had dreams hidden in their hearts.

He laughed dumbly and said: "Good guys, you are all sharpening your skills. This year, our financial situation will indeed be better, but we cannot squander it. If you can do it by yourself, you can do it by yourself. This is also training the team. It really has If you need to spend money, let’s focus on talking about it in the past few days.”

Fang Zhuo pondered: "I don't think burning money is a good idea, but burning it occasionally is a coincidence."

A group of people nodded, good job, good job!

The time in the afternoon is limited, and only two project directions, Ji Minghua and Wang Jian, are arranged for communication.

When Fang Zhuo returned to the office and stretched his body, he suddenly felt that making and spending money was really a pleasant thing.

He took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the drawer, stretched his wrist, and wrote several fair and objective evaluations in succession.

Artist, doer, authority, king, master.

Fang Zhuo admired his handwriting. It was rusty after not practicing for a while, but these comments made people happy.

The phone screen on the table lit up.

From IDG Xiong Xiaoge.

Fang Zhuo put down his writing brush and pressed connect and voiceover: "Say, Old Bear."

"Would you like to acquire IDG together?" Xiong Xiaoge's voice was a little nervous.

"Fuck, let's talk about it when you return to China." Fang Zhuo didn't hesitate, as he had already discussed it before.

"I'm almost at Hang Lung." Xiong Xiaoge went straight to Yike as soon as he returned to China. This mysterious man who has made a great name in the international financial circle is based in Hang Lung 23.

"Come on, I'll give you ten minutes." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Let me hear how bad you are. You really dragged IDG into trouble."

Xiong Xiaoge didn't reply at this juncture. He was also seduced and coerced. In this regard, the person opposite was the best.
