Chapter 392 Other Uses of Micro-Ming
"Forget about what we're after! What do we do now? The longer we drag this out, the greater our interest and risk will be! Cao Yunji, you're the professional, make a decision quickly!" a voice urged anxiously.
The pressure instantly fell on Cao Yunji.
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his eyes flashed rapidly, and a few seconds later, a ruthless glint appeared on his face: "Damn it, I have to resort to drastic measures! A two-pronged approach!"
He spoke very quickly:
"First, immediately release false negative news! Shatter the last bit of confidence in the market! Say something like... a core coal mine of Shenmu Group has recently had a major safety hazard, and regulatory authorities are about to conduct an inspection, potentially halving its production capacity!"
"Secondly, fellow business owners!" He glanced at the investors, "Their strength is unknown, but they've clearly come prepared! To crush their scheme, we must concentrate our firepower! Please all immediately add another fifteen million! Let's focus our firepower, and with the help of fake news, crush them in one fell swoop!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man with thinning hair, a lean face, and unusually deep and sharp eyes, who had been sitting in the shadows of the main seat, slowly spoke.
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, instantly drowning out all the noise:
"Old Zhou (the bespectacled man), you have resources from several online troll companies, and you're also familiar with those financial influencers on Weibo and the Weiming platform who stir up trouble. I'll give you the fake news. Within half an hour, I want it to have a significant impact, sweeping across stock forums, Weibo, and Weiming's trending topics!"
"Okay, Mr. Zhou! I'll get right on it!" The man with glasses immediately picked up the phone.
The lean, middle-aged man's gaze swept across each of the wealthy patrons present, sharp as lightning: "Regarding the money, do as Cao Yunji says. Fifteen million for each of them, to be transferred immediately!"
His instructions were concise and powerful, and no one dared to object.
Everyone picked up their phones and started transferring money.
If Ye Fan were here, he would definitely recognize this bald, middle-aged man with a powerful aura.
He was Zhou Chongzheng, the founder of Chongzheng Securities and the later backer of Cao Yunji, who was imprisoned in his previous life for crimes such as market manipulation and insider trading.
In his previous life, it was this "brilliant battle" with Shenmu coal that brought Cao Yunji into Zhou Chongzheng's sights, and from then on, he rose rapidly through the ranks.
At this moment, this big shot from his past life was personally overseeing the operation, aiming his cannon at Ye Fan, the "prey" who had quietly infiltrated.
A more intense and brutal capital battle is about to unfold!
......
The atmosphere inside the trading room of Hongdou Building suddenly became tense!
"Boss! Something's wrong!"
Shen Jun stared at the screen, his voice tinged with surprise and doubt, "Suddenly, a large number of small sell orders from retail investors have appeared! Dozens of lots, even just a few lots, are being dumped densely! It seems like retail investors' emotions have collapsed again!"
Ye Fan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately took the laptop that Miao Zi quickly handed him.
Fingers slid rapidly across the touchpad, and browser pages refreshed quickly—stock forums, financial forums, and especially the trending topics on their own Weiming platform... were instantly flooded with all sorts of sensational "negative" news!
Exclusive Insider News! A major safety hazard exists at XX Coal Mine, a subsidiary of Shenmu Group, which has alarmed the State Administration of Work Safety and may face indefinite production shutdown for rectification!
"Is Shenmu Coal's financial performance confirmed? Insiders reveal huge discrepancies in the financial reports!"
Breaking News! Key executives of Shenmu Group suspected of being taken away for investigation!
Information bombardment! Precision strikes! The standard package for malicious short selling!
When Ye Fan saw the words "Weiming Hot Search", his pupils suddenly contracted!
A surge of anger mixed with chilling killing intent instantly rose within him! Zhou Chongzheng! It really was you! You dare to intrude on my territory?
The image of Zhou Chongzheng, the financial tycoon who was imprisoned for manipulating the market in his previous life, became clear in an instant!
He could even recall the disdainful yet wary tone that HR manager Zhang Yi used when she spoke of this person.
The methods and the path are exactly the same as in my previous life!
"You're courting death!" Ye Fan shouted, his eyes flashing with cold light.
Without further hesitation, he immediately gave Miao Zi the order, his voice resolute: "Go to the sixth floor, Yujing Technology, right now! Tell Xiang Hao to suppress all negative trending topics and rumor posts about Shenmu coal on Weiming and related platforms within ten minutes! Use whatever technical means necessary!"
He paused, then continued, "Once the pressure is out, immediately activate the contingency plan. Use the financial influencers and official accounts we control to flood the market with positive news such as 'clarification announcements,' 'industry benefits,' and 'the fundamentals of Shenmu coal continue to improve!' Bring back market confidence!"
"It's crucial to emphasize that the previous claims were malicious rumors intended to suppress the stock price! This is to warn retail investors to be vigilant!"
Miao Zi accepted the order without hesitation, turned around and rushed out of the trading room.
Ye Fan's thinking was crystal clear: in a short period of time, he would make the market experience a dramatic reversal of "panic-clarification"!
When retail investors discover that the so-called "earth-shattering negative news" is debunked by authorities in the blink of an eye, and then see the constant emergence of "positive news," even a fool can figure out what's going on!
This kind of repeated back-and-forth will greatly erode the credibility of short sellers, making retail investors naturally immune to subsequent negative news!
"Shen Jun! Yang Bin!" Ye Fan's voice, like a drawn sword, echoed throughout the trading room. "Stop hiding! Face them head-on!"
He pointed to the K-line chart of Shenmu Coal, his finger hovering over the -5% level: "Shen Jun, objective: hold this level at all costs! It absolutely cannot fall below this point! Make the defenses an impregnable fortress!"
His gaze then turned to Yang Bin: "Yang Bin! Halt Jinzhong coal! All funds, immediately, pour into Shenmu coal! Buy as much as you can!"
"Yes, boss!" the two replied in unison, their eyes burning with fighting spirit! The sound of typing on the keyboard instantly became frenzied!
With a principal of 100 million, leveraged tenfold, and a billion in funding, plus the powerful Weiming platform—a super weapon for controlling public opinion—Ye Fan has revealed his hand, determined to confront Zhou Chongzheng's camp head-on!
The market was instantly thrown into turmoil!
Xiang Hao's team demonstrated terrifying execution! The negative trending topics disappeared without a trace as if erased by an eraser, replaced by the official blue V's "solemn statement" and the "in-depth interpretation of the positive news" by major financial V's.
The rapid reversal of information left countless retail investors in front of their phones dumbfounded!
Stock forum:
"Damn! It was a rumor! I almost got wiped out!"
"We've already debunked the rumors! It must be short sellers stirring up trouble! Brothers, buy the dip!"
"Shenmu Coal is awesome! Kill the short sellers!"
The emotions reversed instantly!
At this moment, with Ye Fan's two main forces (Shen Jun and Yang Bin) buying up shares at any cost and with countless enraged retail investors following suit, the shaky stock price of Shenmu Coal was injected with a powerful stimulant, and at the moment it touched -5%, it burst out with amazing rebound power!
The green decline figures were quickly erased and turned red! And then surged upwards!
