What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 606: A Killing Frenzy (5k)

Zhang Chaoyang was completely dumbfounded.

He has been in a state of inexplicable shock ever since he woke up from his drunken stupor today.

What does it mean to create a character's face but end up with a completely empty one?

What does it mean that Yu Xing is the king of short sellers?

What does it mean that the head of the carbon silicon industry swiftly acknowledged Shanfeng's identity?

And what does it mean that a fraudulent listed company was hidden among the crowd that was surrounding them?

Zhang Chaoyang's original intention was not to come over with everyone. He really wanted to confirm the situation in person and express his apologies again. After all... the big short seller was a character created by creating a character in a game. He was hiding properly, and if he were to be exposed suddenly, who knows how many things would be ruined.

However, this matter ultimately stems from Carbon Silicon Data's own technology, and even Mr. Yu himself probably didn't expect such an outcome.

Zhang Chaoyang could only sigh that human destiny is sometimes so bizarre and mysterious.

Of course, the scene of President Yu standing on the desk angrily pointing at President Xin was also... quite bizarre.

Everyone was stunned, because they all knew that if the phrase "over the mountain peak" were to spread, it could have disastrous consequences.

Right now, Huishan Dairy's stock in Hong Kong is still burning fiercely, with its market value evaporating in the hundreds of millions!
You can say that the mountain peak is bad, you can say that Yu Xing is a fraud, you can say that he is a hypocrite and two-faced, but you should never underestimate the power of his judgment!
Can Optimus, which is also listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, withstand the pressure?

There was no official report from Guo Shanfeng, and Yu Xing did not list any evidence, but judging from the chairman's reaction... it's probably pretty much true.

If Yu Xing's words get out, today it's Huishan Dairy that's burning, and tomorrow it will be Qingtian that takes over the baton of burning.

Xin Yingmei, who had initially disliked the mountain peak, completely panicked. Seeing Yu Xing's coldness, Ma Chuan's silence, and others watching the drama unfold, she felt helpless. Then she noticed someone secretly taking out their phone to take pictures, as if she had grasped at the last straw.

"Stop filming, Mr. Liao, what are you filming?"

"No, we can't believe it, no, I mean we can't tell anyone, we're united against..."

Xin Yingmei's words became increasingly incoherent. Just as she was about to say that they should unite against a common enemy, she suddenly realized her mistake and dared not continue talking about Yu Xing. Seeing that he was still standing on the desk and wouldn't come down, she quickly realized her mistake and pleaded, "President Yu, this is a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding. It's not what you think. I didn't say those words just now. No, it wasn't me."

The regret in her heart was beyond words. Why did she think of instigating others just now! And why did she have to come and watch the joke today!
If we hadn't spoken up just now, and if we hadn't come today, the company would have continued to operate smoothly!
Why bother? Why do it at all!
Yu Xing stood on the desk, surrounded by security guards forming a human wall. Xin Yingmei couldn't reach Yu Xing, so she could only try to pull him over the mountain peak through the security guards, hoping for a final explanation and a chance to make amends.

Yu Xing ignored the listed company boss at his feet, who was on Xiao Ying's research list but hadn't been fully investigated yet. He gave Ma Chuan, whose expression was grim, a cold smile: "Mr. Ma, is this the army you've trained? You're the second largest shareholder, hahaha, so you came to me today to stand up for swindlers? To advocate for fraud?"

The king of short sellers laughed loudly, the head of a giant company turned pale, and the chairman of a listed company helplessly reached out his hand.

Ma Chuan never expected such a scene. Even the anger in his heart was extinguished by half. How embarrassing, so embarrassing!
In particular, Alibaba happens to be the second-largest shareholder...

He suddenly roared, "Enough! Enough! Why beg him! He'll suffer the consequences of his own actions! He brought it on himself!"

Upon hearing Mr. Ma's voice, Xin Yingmei felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, swayed twice, and then collapsed to the ground, closing her eyes.

"You fabricated the story and now you're just going to suffer the consequences? You brought it on yourself?" Yu Xing stood on the table, his expression completely visible to everyone present. He burst into laughter again, pointing at Ma Chuan, "I'm Guo Shanfeng, so you're Guo Shanfeng too? Hahahaha, we're all Guo Shanfeng! What a perfect example of 'reaping what you sow'!"

The laughter of the short seller king swept past my ears like a biting cold wind.

While laughing, Yu Xing didn't forget the person lying at his feet. He pointed and said, "Take him out, call 120."

Two security guards silently carried the boss, who had taken a direct hit from the boss's short-selling delisting finger, out of the president's office, only to find that the outside was already crowded with people.

"Yu Xing, don't try to portray yourself as so virtuous. Manipulating the market, chasing profits, disrupting financial order—do you think you're some kind of saint?" Ma Chuan said, barely containing his anger. "I'll just ask you one question: how did you find out about Alipay?"

"Of course I'm not a saint, but I'm still a bit better than those who forge things," Yu Xing chuckled. "I never consider myself a saint, so I won't tell you."

Ma Chuan looked up and pointed at Yu Xing: "Get down here!"

Yu Xing scoffed: "I won't play!"

At that moment, the sound of a camera clicking came from the crowd, and a flash went off.

Upon hearing the voice, Yu Xing looked over and locked onto his target: "President Li, delete the photos."

Ma Chuan glared back angrily.

Those who couldn't resist taking photos hurriedly deleted them when faced with the combined gaze of the short-selling king and the number one giant.

But then, another camera shutter clicked.

Yu Xing looked again and said coldly, "Mr. Zhang, did he say he wasn't talking about you?"

Zhang Chaoyang appeared somewhat composed in the face of the intense scrutiny from the king of short sellers and the top tycoon. He did not delete the photos, but waved his hand sheepishly, not wanting to be dragged into this storm.

"Yu Xing, don't think you can escape the investigation just because you're good with words," said Li Yaohui, the vice president of Volkswagen, righteously. "Volkswagen has already borne the responsibility and consequences it should have, and you will also bear the consequences of disrupting financial order!"

"Volkswagen, right? Who are you? What gives you the right to speak to me? Let Winterkorn speak to me!" Yu Xing said forcefully, then feigned surprise. "What? Winterkorn is in jail for shorting his own Volkswagen? Haha, why are you looking for Guo Shanfeng? Just talk to your own chairman; he's even more powerful than Guo Shanfeng!"

Martin Winterkorn, the former chairman of Volkswagen, chose to short his own company when faced with the aggressive short-selling of Shanfeng, and is now in prison.

Thinking of his family's scandal, Li Yaohui was speechless for a moment.

Having recovered from witnessing others' misery, Shi Wenyong of NetQin said resentfully, "Yu Xing, did you really think you'd have a good ending?! You're still jumping around so happily!"

"Are you as happy as Nexon? Are you as happy as Skybreaker? Are you as happy as Volkswagen?" Yu Xing squatted down, lowered his gaze, and pointed at them one by one with his finger. "You NetQin people actually have the nerve to come here?"

"I underestimated you! Shi Wenyong, you actually think you can talk to me about morality and shame?!"

"That's right. If you had any sense of propriety, integrity, or shame, how could you have fabricated such a thing in the first place?"

"Haha, what are you all planning to do, swarming over here like this all at this time!?"

Yu Xing sneered, "I've only been exposed for crossing the mountain peak, not that I'm dead! Come on, Zhang Chaoyang, take pictures, take pictures if you want, take pictures of them all! Post them online! I'll see what everyone says! Who's really shameless!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chaoyang actually took out his phone.

Those around him quickly tried to dissuade him, and Xiong Xiaoge and Xu Xin also reached out to stop Zhang Chaoyang. They were worried that the public opinion would explode again, and they didn't know what to do!
President Yu is furious and has gone on a killing spree. You can't just take his words at face value!

Seeing Mr. Yu's fiery temper, Tsai Chung-hsin, who had remained silent until now, shook his head: "Mr. Yu, your actions will be investigated. Can silicon carbon still be listed? Shouldn't those short-selling positions be disclosed? Aren't you just making a fuss over nothing?"

Yu Xing said indifferently, "One hundred steps is twice as many as fifty steps. Whether or not silicon carbide goes public is silicon carbide's business. Why do you need to worry about it?"

"Yu Xing, just wait for the full-blown competition in silicon carbon." Ma Chuan looked intently at Yu Xing. "I'll just ask you one last question: who exactly leaked the Alipay information?"

Seeing that Ma Chuan was still pestering him, and then seeing Zhong Zhiling squeeze into the office, Yu Xing said to him, "Zhong Zhiling, bring the megaphone."

Zhong Zhiling was stunned as soon as he entered the office; his senior colleague was standing on his desk…

Upon hearing the request, he ran outside to grab a megaphone, then silently pushed through the crowd and handed the device to his senior.

"I'm telling you right now, your question is meaningless." Yu Xing blasted his voice, which echoed throughout the office. "Don't you understand? Do I have to say it again?!"

Ma Chuan's face turned ashen, and he turned to leave: "We'll meet again someday!"

Pony spoke up: "Mr. Yu, you need to take what just..."

Before Pony could finish speaking, Yu Xing interrupted him loudly, "Pony, have you forgotten the pain once the wound has healed?"

Pony listened to the echoes in the office and felt a pang of resentment. My wounds haven't healed yet...

He turned and left.

Seeing that no one was getting away with it—some were being carried away, others were storming off in anger—Mercedes-Benz's director, Wu Jiashuo, finally said, "Yu Xing, just wait for the European investigation!"

Yu Xing asked loudly, "Has the investigation into Mercedes-Benz in Europe concluded?"

Wu Jiashuo has left.

Yu Xing's loudspeaker went straight to the next person: "Are you guys still hanging around here waiting for me to become your president?"

Li Yaohui spat angrily, "You just wait until the defendant dies!"

The two NetQin employees turned and left before the loudspeaker could even reach them.

Jiang Nanchun of Fenzhong Media still harbored resentment: "Yu Xing! I'm taking down your ads right now!" Lingang is a major client of Fenzhong Media.

Yu Xing sent out a loudspeaker that shouted: "Then you've breached the contract!"

Those who fabricated the story, those who were just watching the spectacle, and those who were supposed to confess—most of them disappeared with the introduction of the loudspeaker.

Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu sighed, "President Yu, this situation is really too..."

"Wait a minute." Yu Xing jumped down from his desk with the megaphone, walked to the window, opened it, and then connected the megaphone to the outside speakers. After taking a few deep breaths, he pressed on, "Is financial fraud something to be proud of?"

"Is fabricating data really that impressive?"

Is cheating on emissions tests right?

"Tell me, tell me, is it right? Is it impressive? Is it glorious?"

As a car manufacturer, Silicon Carbon Group sometimes needs to broadcast announcements throughout the venue. The announcements at these times are like repeated interrogations, reaching everyone's ears one after another.

The NetQin team moved even faster, while the Qingtian team had already gotten into their cars, and the Volkswagen and Mercedes team pretended not to hear.

Pony the penguin stopped and turned around.

Jiang Nanchun of Fenzhong initially quickened her pace, already knowing that things were hopeless, but when she caught up with President Ma ahead, she suddenly became angrier and angrier, cursed, and turned back to head towards the president's office of Silicon Carbon.

Ma Chuan had just uttered a sentence when Jiang Nanchun turned around and promptly chased after him.

A large number of people had left the president's office, leaving only Zhang Chaoyang, Xiong Xiaoge, Xu Xin, and a few others. They listened silently to President Yu's familiar, captivating voice, never expecting him to be so extraordinary at a time like this.

That said, if he weren't so extraordinary, he probably wouldn't have been able to create the "King of Short Sellers" thing.

Ma Chuan caught up with Jiang Nanchun, but instead of adding fuel to the fire, he advised the clearly irrational Jiang Nanchun, "Why are you going back? Let's go, let's go together. This is his company, let's go."

Jiang Nanchun insisted on turning back.

Ma Chuan chased after him, trying to dissuade him: "What are you going to do? You're definitely going to suffer a loss."

Jiang Nanchun said angrily, "He didn't expect me to go back. I'll ambush him!"

The peak that Fenzhong Media encountered back then was just the beginning. Although it eventually became the king of short sellers, the third-party institution brought in by the company gave a "clean" assessment.

This is still not enough to satisfy Jiang Nanchun's current anger. What makes him most furious and resentful is his cooperation with Yu Xing over the years!

Jiang Nanchun watched Yu Xing grow from nothing and even provided assistance!

Advertisements for Baixiaosheng, Carbon Silicon Data, and Carbon Silicon Group!

What's most infuriating is that the advertisements for Baixiaosheng were heavily discounted back then!
Bai Xiaosheng took advantage of the undervaluation of Fenzhong when it was being shorted to establish the partnership. Later, as Yu Xing rose to prominence, Jiang Nanchun would often mention the partnership, and he was quite proud of this major client who had gone from low to high!

The more smug they were before, the more resentful they are now. What a mountain peak you are, what a short seller king you are, and now you're back at the scene of the crime pretending to be a good guy!

Jiang Nanchun ran all the way without encountering any obstacles.

Everyone in the company now knows what happened and is discussing it in shock. If a large group of people couldn't do anything to the boss just now, what can one or two of them do now that they've gone back?
Besides, Mr. Ma was also jogging alongside him...

The group returned just as Yu Xing put away the loudspeaker. They waited by the door of the president's office for a while before rushing in after hearing a sound coming from inside.

Jiang Nanchun, filled with rage, rushed towards Yu Xing's back, ready to punch him hard from behind.

Xu Xin reacted quickly from the side, and before she could think, she shoved Xiong Xiaoge towards the middle!
Xiong Xiaoge stood in the middle and, with a cry of "Ouch!", received a powerful punch from Jiang Nanchun.

Yu Xing turned around and saw Jiang Nanchun and Xiong Xiaoge wrestling together, and then saw Ma Chuan approaching. A series of thoughts flashed through his mind: Was he furious? Did he want to fight? Tai Chi? Gong Shou Dao?
He took two steps ahead, met Ma Chuan's hand, firmly locked his movements, and took control of the situation.

Ma Chuan struggled twice but couldn't break free, and angrily said, "Let go!"

Yu Xing scoffed: "Youth has the upper hand, but you're trying to pull that on me!"

Ma Chuan said angrily, "I'm going to pull Jiang Nanchun away! Let go!"

"He came to beat someone up, what are you doing here?" Yu Xing didn't believe it. "Calm down first."

Ma Chuan, who was originally calm, became unsteady under his control and shouted, "He Xiaopeng, what are you standing there for!"

He Xiaopeng was completely dazed from the moment he arrived, left, and then returned. Seeing the two big shots make their move, he wanted to step forward but hesitated because of the short-selling king's gaze.

"President Yu, let go, step back," Xu Xin advised. "President Ma, you can't hit him."

Zhong Zhiling also tried to persuade him: "Brother Xing, I'll handle it, I'll block it, you come over here."

Tsai Chung-hsin, who was a bit slower, entered the office and saw the scene his boss had captured. He quickly stepped forward to help maintain appearances.

Yu Xing released his grip and cautiously retreated.

Ma Chuan shook his arm, glanced at Jiang Nanchun on the ground, knowing he would be alright, and this time he left the president's office without saying a word.

Cai Chongxin shook his head repeatedly and followed, while He Xiaopeng hesitated for two seconds but still continued to follow behind President Ma.

Yu Xing watched them leave, then glanced at the furious Jiang Nanchun, and said to Zhong Zhiling, "Get them out of here. If they still won't calm down, take them away to calm down."

After a brief struggle, the office fell silent once more.

Xiong Xiaoge rubbed her face, feeling a swollen lump, and sighed, "What, what happened? President Yu, what... how did you get so swollen?"

Today he witnessed a scene he would probably never see again in his life. Looking at President Yu sitting at his desk lighting a cigarette, he finally asked what was no longer a question: "President Yu, are you really a mountain peaker?"

Zhang Chaoyang and Xu Xin watched together as President Yu took a deep drag on his cigarette.

Yu Xing looked at the three of them, then at the Goldman Sachs team that had been invited to the lounge and then reappeared at the door, and said with a half-smile, half-sarcasm: "I am Yu Xing, the founder of Silicon Carbon Group and Silicon Carbon Data, and also Guo Shanfeng."

The group fell silent again.

Just then, Li Yanhong, the head of Baidu, appeared at the entrance of the president's office.

He stood by the door, glanced at the Goldman Sachs team beside him, then at the four people inside, especially the legendary short-selling king. Feeling their gazes, he suddenly hesitated, unsure how to speak.

After a moment, Yu Xing said with a laugh, "President Li, you really are a Baidu expert."

Hearing this, Li Yanhong thought about the identity of the King of Short Sellers and his actions over the years, and nodded: "No wonder it's you, you really are a mountain peak."

Yu Xing pointed to the door: "There's nothing good to see. They've all left. Do as you please, Mr. Li. You'd better take care of yourself too."

Li Yanhong stared at Yu Xing, her fighting spirit ignited, and took two steps forward: "What? Are you going to short Baidu after crossing the mountain peak?"

Looking at Li Yanhong, Yu Xing couldn't even muster the anger. He said to Zhong Zhiling, who had returned, "Let President Li calm down."

Li Yanhong was accompanied by people, but when she saw Zhong Zhiling and his group approaching, she turned around and stepped back, saying, "You're the one who needs to watch your step."

Baidu's CEO briefly touched upon the Lingang New Battlefield before quickly disappearing from the scene.

This conflict is destined to spark widespread discussion, whether it's the standoff between the two sides, the Hong Kong-listed company suspected of fraud, or the subsequent physical altercation. But for He Xiaopeng, who is following Ma Chuan...

He was completely bewildered, on one hand by the conflict sparked by Yu's revelation of his identity, and on the other hand by the question of whether he could still leave Alibaba...

It's still the same Kyushu as before.

He Xiaopeng followed behind, but before he could get into the car, he saw that Boss Ma had already slammed the door shut.

He was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to walk around to the other side, he saw the car suddenly start moving.

No, I haven't gotten on the bus yet, Mr. Ma, Mr. Cai, I... I'm still here...

He Xiaopeng stood there, watching the car in front of him disappear around the corner. He then looked back at the building behind him that housed the king of short sellers, feeling extremely hesitant. "Sigh, can Mr. Ma's promise still stand? Can we still get joint procurement of carbon silicon?"

Meanwhile, Jia Yueting of LeEco, who had just woken up from his drunken stupor, looked at the messages on his phone, his face turning red and then pale. Finally, he suddenly cried out in anguish, "King of short sellers, King of short sellers, it's bad, it's bad!!"
