"Alright, you can all go back to work. I need to step out for a while. Things will be resolved by tomorrow," Xia Yu told the employees present. Without offering further explanation, he dismissed them and headed towards the Kowloon Exchange.
After parking, Xia Yu picked up a copy of the *Dongfang Daily*. Seeing the front page attacking *Jiu Ding Daily* and him, Xia Yu sneered, "Is that all they've got? Let's see how I turn the tables!"
He then tossed the *Dongfang Daily* into the trash can and walked confidently into the Kowloon Exchange.
Upon reaching the HSBC Securities desk, Xia Yu spotted Liu Tianci and walked over. "Mr. Liu, I'm here. How are things going?"
Liu Tianci wasted no time and got straight to the point. "Mr. Xia, Da Fa Real Estate's stock price is falling even faster today. It has dropped below twenty million Hong Kong dollars and is still falling. Tian Wu Securities hasn't made any move to buy, probably thinking there's still more room for decline."
"Oh? Tian Wu Securities is too greedy, thinking they can just wait it out. Are they so sure no one will counter them?" Xia Yu sneered.
"The current media situation is too severe. Their tactics to create a negative atmosphere are quite effective. Given the current trend, no institution would dare to buy Da Fa Real Estate stocks now. But Tian Wu Securities probably didn't expect us to step in," Liu Tianci said, exchanging a knowing smile with Xia Yu.
"Mr. Xia, since you're leading this, what price point do you think is suitable for entry?" Liu Tianci asked, eyeing the still-declining stock price.
He was curious to see how Xia Yu would analyze the situation and whether his analysis would match Liu Tianci's.
Timing is crucial in stock trading; entering too early reduces profit, while entering too late means fewer shares to buy and reduced profit. The key is to strike the right balance—allowing the price to fall as much as possible while still getting in before others. Mastering this timing is a mark of expertise.
"Wait a bit longer. Given the current trend, an entry point around fifteen million would be ideal," Xia Yu said after reviewing the real-time data Liu Tianci had, and observing the continuing decline of Da Fa Real Estate's stock price.
The lower the stock price is driven, the lower the risk and higher the profit for Xia Yu. After all, a lower price means less space for further decline but more potential for increase, which is more advantageous for Xia Yu.
"Alright then. The account is already arranged, and the team is ready. We're just waiting to see your performance," Liu Tianci said with a smile.
"It's our performance to watch," Xia Yu corrected him with a smile.
"Haha!" Liu Tianci laughed.
...
Meanwhile, Ma Chengkun was still in Wu Chengtai's command center. Observing Da Fa Real Estate's sluggish stock price and the floating profit in the account, and recalling *Jiu Ding Daily*'s chaotic state, Ma Chengkun felt his accumulated frustration over the past days evaporate. He was extremely pleased and in high spirits.
"Mr. Wu, when will we start buying the dip?" Ma Chengkun asked.
"Wait a bit longer. I've received news that Da Fa Real Estate plans to buy back shares to make a last-ditch effort. However, Li Zhaoxu won't be able to succeed. Other than him, none of the shareholders want to buy back shares. Once we crush his hopes, we can acquire Da Fa Real Estate in one go," Wu Chengtai said with a cold smile.
Yesterday afternoon, a few more Da Fa Real Estate shareholders contacted him, intending to sell their shares and exit. Wu Chengtai accepted them all as ammunition for today's stock price suppression. Additionally, they informed Wu Chengtai that Li Zhaoxu planned to use a share buyback to boost investor confidence and had asked other shareholders to raise funds for the buyback.
However, Li Zhaoxu would likely be furious today, as besides him, almost all other shareholders had sold their shares. They understood Wu Chengtai's determination to suppress Da Fa Real Estate's stock price and accepted the buyback price offered by Wu Chengtai without being greedy, directly selling and exiting.
Now, Wu Chengtai was calculating the shares held by Li Zhaoxu. Since Da Fa Real Estate was founded by Li Zhaoxu, despite many shares being distributed to other shareholders and diluted for listing, Li Zhaoxu still held around 30% of the shares. To fully acquire Da Fa Real Estate, Wu Chengtai needed to secure the shares held by Li Zhaoxu.
To acquire Li Zhaoxu's shares, Wu Chengtai needed to undermine Li Zhaoxu's confidence. He had learned through his connections that Li Zhaoxu's funds were limited to just over two million. Li Zhaoxu also intended to borrow from banks, but Wu Chengtai had used his connections to ensure Li Zhaoxu couldn't secure the loan.
Thus, as long as Li Zhaoxu attempted to buy back shares with his two million-plus funds, Wu Chengtai planned to drain Li Zhaoxu's funds, leaving him in despair.
Once Li Zhaoxu's efforts were exhausted, Da Fa Real Estate would be at Wu Chengtai's mercy, making it easier to acquire Li Zhaoxu's shares.
Wu Chengtai had meticulously planned every step, waiting for Li Zhaoxu to fall into the trap!
At that moment, an assistant rushed in, shouting, "Boss, Da Fa Real Estate is holding a press conference, claiming they have ten million in funds for buying back shares."
Wu Chengtai nodded with a playful smile. "Ten million in funds? Just a bluff for the uninformed. I'm curious to see how long your 'ten million' can last!"
"Keep a close watch. As soon as someone buys the stock, continue to suppress the price and drain their funds!" Wu Chengtai ordered.
"Understood, boss!" The assistant, with a serious expression, responded and ran off to convey Wu Chengtai's orders.
...
At the HSBC Securities desk, Xia Yu was ready. With HSBC employees following Liu Tianci's arrangements, they were assisting Xia Yu with the transactions.
Meanwhile, at another HSBC location, Liu Tianci also had his team ready to act, synchronizing with Xia Yu to buy stocks.
"Start buying!" When the timing was right, Xia Yu gave the command, directing the operators to purchase stocks.
Seeing Xia Yu take action, Liu Tianci's team began buying stocks as well.
...
At Tian Wu Securities' desk, a staff member noticed someone starting to buy Da Fa Real Estate's stock and immediately followed Wu Chengtai's orders to continue suppressing the stock price. Specialized personnel then reported to Wu Chengtai.
"Boss, someone has started buying. We're continuing to suppress the stock price!" an employee reported as he jogged over to Wu Chengtai.
Wu Chengtai nodded, acknowledging the report, then stood up and said to Ma Chengkun, "Mr. Ma, let's go over and see the actual operations."
"Haha!" Ma Chengkun laughed heartily and followed suit, heading to observe the process.
