On second thought, however, there was something wrong with that too.
“If you don’t know what is the real Nan Lin like? Then how do you know this Nan Lin is fake?”
This time Leon Hua answered unhesitatingly, “My intuition was telling me.”
“You always say that. What kind of intuition is that?”
“It’s just a feeling. Do you think feeling can be classified ?” Leon asked in reply.
“Then, can you explain why do you think this Nan Lin is fake?”
“Like I just said , because of my intuition.”
After saying a lot, the topic went back to the unanswerable original point.
“Well, I know what you mean. It’s all about feeling. The standard of all judgments is feeling.” I was a little bored and didn’t want to talk anymore.
Leon shook his head helplessly and said no more as he saw me impatient.
Soon, we arrived at Maple Villa. I was so tired that I washed up and went to bed directly.
The next day, I woke up very early and skimmed through the news on my phone anxiously. I was relieved when I saw there was still no negative news about Sue’s family on the Internet, turned over and went back to sleep.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m tired or because I’m in Hai City that I slept soundly. When I woke up, it was already 10, 00 AM.
Checking the phone, I found there was a message from Leon, “Dandan(a term of endearment in Chinese), get up and breakfast, don’t keep sleeping!”
I was a little dizzy as sleeping for long, so I got up quickly. Feeling very hungry after washing up, I ate a piece of chocolate instantly. Then I went on skimming through the news to see if any negative news about Sue’s family comes up.
I felt at ease as there was still nothing bad about it. At this moment, Leon called me, asked me whether I had got up and reminded me not to sleep for too long lest get dizzy.
I said why you didn’t remind me earlier. I didn’t get up until ten o ‘clock. You woke me up too late.
“Erm, Dandan…”
“Don’t call me Dandan!” I refused out of hand.
“I have something to ask you. Is it because something happened to Sue’s house that you suddenly returned to Hai City?” Leon asked me.
I said nothing happened. I just wanted to come back.
“You are not telling me the truth. The share price of Nanhe Group have fallen sharply today and were closed limit. If nothing has happened, why has there been such a sudden plunge?”Leon said.
I only paid attention to the negative news, but did not took a look at the stock price. To my surprise, it was only in the morning that Nanhe stock fell by the daily limit.
“Something did happen, but I can’t talk about it right now” I had to tell him the truth.
“That’s right. It seems that what happened was not trivial, otherwise Nanhe’s share price would not have fallen so sharply. But from what I’ve seen, this stock price was shorted maliciously, whether by financial security or other means. I’m not sure about this, but someone must have done it.” Leon said.
“But there is nothing negative news now. Why do you think something has happened to Sue’s family? Just because the share price fell sharply?”
“It’s just my intuition. Generally speaking, if short sellers intend to make a profit, they must know some bad news about the company being shorted, so they dare to do that. If there is nothing negative about it, even if they can keep the price down for a short period of time, the market will eventually let the price rise, making it difficult for them to make a profit. But if they know something negative about the company , they go short ahead of time, and then when the bad news comes out and the stock drops dramatically, they can make a profit.”
“So you think there will be negative news coming out about Nanhe group? Then it’s share price will keep falling?”
“That’s the way it’s usually played, but there are exceptions. What happened in Nanhe that made these people so blatant?”
“Something did happen, but I can’t say. In your opinion, how should Sue’s family deal with it now?” I asked him
“As long as the bad news doesn’t come out, everything will be fine. If Nanhe can report some good news, there will be investors to copy the bottom, so the stock price will naturally go up. But if the other side has a lot of money and continues to depress the share price, then you have to fund yourself to protect it. Whoever has more money will win.”
“You mean let Nanhe Group protect itself ?”
“Yeah, but the company can also find a partner to protect it. After all, it requires a lot of money, and it’s not appropriate to deal with this thing by the company itself, because it involves manipulating the stock price, and there are a lot of risks need to be avoided.”
“Well, I see.”
“Tell Wenbei Su that if he need my help, just let me know.”
“Thank you. I’ll tell my second elder brother.”
“I’m not willing to hear it. You don’t have to thank me for him as you are the people on my own side. By contrast, I’m closer to you.”
“Well, let’s not talk about that. I’ll call my brother and ask him what’s going on.”
“Well, if there is anything I can do, let me know.” Leon said.
Then, I called my second brother, but he hung up. He might be not available to answer the phone right now.
I was anxious, but didn’t know what to do, so I had to wait for him to call me back. After a while, Jane called me downstairs for lunch.
She cooked my favorite dishes, but I had no appetite at all as something was bothering me. I ate something ca and returned upstairs to wait for him to call me.
Finally, at 2, 00PM, he phoned me.
He said, “There are foreign funds went short Nanhe shares through various channels. He was worried about Jiye Su’s sexual abuse abroad will be reported as this incident could trigger a disastrous plunge in Nanhe’s share price.
“What should we do now?” ‘I asked anxiously.
“Big Brother told me that he had a friend abroad who could help solve the crisis. But our brother requires that he temporarily acts as chairman and CEO before he steps in to solve the crisis.”
“Isn’t he force to usurp power? How could he do such a thing?” I cried out, suddenly excited.
“I didn’t expect him to be so blatant, but if he can really solve this thing, I’m fine with his request. Now that our father is trapped, there must be someone deal with this thing to ensure the stable development of the group. If our elder brother can do it, I will support him.”
In fact, I don’t agree with my second elder brother’s thought, but if there is no other way, that’s all we can do.
“And then? It should be approved by the board of directors, shouldn’t it?”
“Before the board of directors learns this thing, Aunt Jiang has deterred elder brother. She strongly opposed him temporarily taking over group affairs, and scolded him too ambitious. The two men quarreled bitterly. The elder brother threatened that only he could solve the crisis now. But Aunt Jiang strongly disagreed. So this thing is deadlocked now.”
