章節 373: Chapter 373: The Big Move
"What?!"
When the news of the abnormal fluctuations in the stock prices of seven companies, suspected to be targeted, reached Niu Bijian's ears, he abandoned his original task and immediately reported to Old John.
As a result, the four who had just dispersed gathered again, but this time the meeting place was no longer the stock trading room but the E-He Group's observation room.
In the observation room, Old John and Niu Bijian huddled together, reviewing the situation reports from the observation room, while Zhou Sen, the head of the department, stood trembling in front of them, not daring to breathe.
He clearly knew that Old John and Niu Bijian, with their dark expressions, were in a foul mood and feared becoming their punching bag.
*Bang!*
"Jiuding Securities! Sun Hung Kai Securities!"
"Damn it, even Sun Hung Kai Securities has joined in!"
The more he looked, the angrier Old John became. All his years of temperance were shattered in this moment. He slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang and shouted in anger.
This action startled Zhou Sen, Henry, and Charles.
"Chairman, these companies are all being swept up by Sun Hung Kai Securities. It's clear they are working with Jiuding Securities. This situation is even more severe than last time!"
Niu Bijian analyzed with a serious expression.
"Hmm!"
Old John's chest heaved, his nostrils flared as he nodded with a flickering gaze.
He realized trouble had arrived; his worst fears had come true! The visible opponents had gone from just Xia Yu at the start to now two of them. Clearly, Xia Yu had greatly reduced the E-He Consortium's influence, and the Chinese capitalists with malicious intentions were no longer intimidated. Now, Feng Jingxi was the first to come forward.
If this is not suppressed, there will soon be a second, a third... and even more!
A slight misstep, and the long-feared situation of wolves attacking a tiger might truly unfold!
But Old John found himself in a headache, realizing that the situation had spiraled out of control and it was difficult to suppress Xia Yu and Feng Jingxi anymore!
"Chairman, the main issue now is funding. The funds we initially used to acquire E-He Machinery Group's stocks are insufficient!"
Seeing Old John's silence, Niu Bijian grew anxious and reminded him.
"Yes, Father. To save all the companies, we need more funds. We must raise additional capital!"
Henry Cazek, the eldest son, also echoed with concern.
"Father, the market will be closed for lunch soon, so we still have some time to make adjustments. We need to hurry and raise funds."
Charles Cazek glanced at the time, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart, and reminded his father.
Although the lunch break is short, even a minute of buffer time is precious, and he could not afford to ignore it!
Old John finally finished his contemplation and immediately gave the order: "Niu Bijian, immediately send people to investigate the shareholding changes of these seven companies. Zhou Sen, cooperate fully!"
"Understood!"
Niu Bijian and Zhou Sen both responded loudly.
"Henry, Charles, keep an eye on E-He Machinery Group for now. I will go raise funds."
"Alright, Father!"
Henry and Charles answered in unison. At this moment, their thoughts aligned unexpectedly, and instead of scheming against each other, they focused on preserving the family business.
...
At noon, Old John and the others skipped lunch and took urgent action as if their seats were on fire.
Unfortunately, some things are destined to happen. Even with the E-He Consortium's formidable strength, the difference between foresight and preparedness cannot be made up in just a few hours!
Despite Old John's strong connections, he managed to raise a significant amount of funds in a short time.
However, upon learning about the situation Niu Bijian uncovered, his heart sank.
The situation was too severe!
Seven companies, each losing several major shareholders. Some had 20% of their shares changed, others over 35%. Each case posed a fatal threat!
Initially, he had hoped that the situation for these seven companies was similar to the four companies like Mei Xin Mei Shi Group, which had merely been attacked and then retreated.
But now, it was clear that this was a direct attempt at takeover, which was extremely dangerous!
With Jiuding Securities and Sun Hung Kai Securities' strength, it was impossible for them to simultaneously take over eight companies, including E-He Machinery Group. This suggested that there were definitely other Chinese tycoons behind the scenes!
...
By midday, despite the focus on the E-He Machinery Group's battle attracting investors' attention, the seven companies were not insignificant; they were part of the E-He Consortium.
During such a sensitive time and with all these important companies suddenly showing abnormal stock price changes, the news was inevitably discovered and quickly spread like a virus.
Many people turned their attention to these seven companies.
Moreover, because this action was sudden, the preliminary concealment work was inadequate. This allowed financial institutions with some power to quickly figure out who the attackers were!
"Again, it's Jiuding Securities. Not only are they vying for E-He Machinery Group but also taking over other companies. They truly live up to their reputation as the 'stock god' company—powerful!"
"Sun Hung Kai Securities has also joined in. 'Stock King' Feng Jingxi and 'Stock God' Xia Yu are teaming up. This is a first!"
"The E-He Consortium is in big trouble! Haha!"
Many investors, after their initial shock, were thrilled. Some even skipped their meals, staying at the stock exchange to catch the latest updates.
Meanwhile, investors who already held stocks in these companies were either filled with regret or shouting with excitement. Various reactions abounded.
Soon, the market reopened after the lunch break.
With the news already out, powerful institutions knew and were ready to jump in. As soon as the market opened, a massive influx of funds poured in.
Thus, the stock prices of the seven companies soared like rockets.
And for E-He Machinery Group, despite the lack of Cazek family's aggressive bidding, the stock price rise remained strong. The attacks on the other seven companies further strengthened investors' confidence in Xia Yu.
The ripple effect became apparent!
As investors cheered and the E-He Consortium floundered, several major announcements rapidly spread across Hong Kong.
Shipping tycoon Bao Yugang is set to hold a press conference!
Li Jiacheng is holding a press conference!
Zheng Yutong is holding a press conference!
Li Zhaoji...
Guo Desheng...
These big-name Chinese tycoons, prominent on the wealthy lists, are all set to hold press conferences.
And most astonishingly, the press conferences are all scheduled for exactly the same time—3 PM in the afternoon!
The scale of this information is enormous!
Combined with the turbulent stock market today, many people instinctively connected the two.
This connection is explosive. If there is indeed a link, Hong Kong will be shaken to its core!
The spectators are eagerly anticipating, financial institutions are on high alert, mobilizing personnel to gather information, and the E-He Consortium is in a state of anxiety.
Meanwhile, the media is both suffering and reveling in the chaos!
"Oh my god, are you kidding me? It's rare for a big shot to hold a press conference, but now so many at once!"
"Why did all the tycoons choose the same time? If they had to choose the same time, why didn't they do it together?"
"We don't have enough hands!"
The bosses of various media outlets wail in despair, full of complaints.
Despite the complaints, their actions never slowed down. They maximized their newspaper operations, utilizing all available interview equipment and personnel to attend every press conference and obtain the most valuable firsthand information.
As anticipation builds, the time finally reaches 3 PM...
