I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 110: Even the stock god Bartfey is useless
As soon as Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve, arrived at work, his assistant rushed over to report the situation to him.

"Mr. Powell, Yang Chen is crazy. He shorted 24 European companies at one time. Including the six companies on our stock market, he shorted 6 companies at the same time. Most of them are major European football clubs and companies under the names of their shareholders."

Powell was stunned. He had never seen such an arrogant person since the birth of mankind.

"Fuck! He's crazy. How dare he do this? How are the stock prices of those companies performing?" Powell asked.

The assistant quickly replied: "All of them fell sharply, at least 10 points."

Powell was even more shocked and said: "Oh my God, how did he do it? Are the investors of those companies puppets? All obeying his control?"

The assistant shook his head and said, "I can't really say, but that's the fact. FIFA has already sent a proposal to all European leagues. Take a look."

Powell took the tablet and saw the initiative issued by FIFA.

Simply put, FIFA advocates that European leagues should not give in, and encourages shareholders of their own clubs to stubbornly resist Yang Chen's short selling. When necessary, they can use real money to increase their holdings of their own shares, thereby raising the stock price, defeating Yang Chen's short positions, and defending the dignity of European football.

FIFA headquarters will send a working group to Longguo to communicate with Longguo’s sports department and urge them to stop Yang Chen’s short selling behavior.

After thinking for a moment, Powell said, “You personally call the heads of the European Football Associations and Football Federations and tell them in my name that they must fight to the end and never admit defeat to Yang Chen. As long as we can win this tough battle, I will further cut interest rates to release liquidity and help the European economy recover. If we lose this tough battle, I will slow down the pace of interest rate cuts and urge Wall Street to short Europe.”

This is how the Bald Eagle family does things, if it’s not on the menu, it has to be on the table, and they always use intimidation to achieve their goals.

The assistant nodded and immediately made the phone call.

Powell sat in his office in a daze, angrily. At about half past ten, his assistant rushed in.

"Mr. Powell, Nike and Sportradar have also been shorted. The Longguo ICBC account should be operated by Yang Chen." The assistant reported.

Powell slammed the table in anger and shouted, "No, God, Fuck, I want to kill him, I swear I really want to kill him!"

Nike is the world's number one sports brand and the largest funder of leagues such as the NBA. Its second largest shareholder is Vanguard and its third largest shareholder is BlackRock.

If Nike stepped in to force all parties to compromise with Yang Chen, it would be hard to say what the outcome would be.

Sportradar is a sports company that has just gone public. Its shareholders include basketball god Michael Jordan and NBA Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.

Yang Chen’s goal is very clear, he wants to drag the NBA into this and muddy the waters completely. It’s hard to say what the final result will be, but he will definitely make a lot of money through this wave of short selling.

At this time, executives and shareholders of five companies, including Coca-Cola, Adidas, Hyundai Motor, Visa, and Sony, have begun to increase their holdings.

Coca-Cola and Yang Chen have already fought each other. The company's executives and shareholders all know that even if they increase their holdings with real money, they will not be able to bring back the stock price. However, they still don't give up and want to try again in the hope of getting lucky.

The result was that even after all the 260 billion Eagle Coins raised by shareholders and executives were invested, the stock price still could not stop falling.

You can’t buy them all. You can’t buy them all.

Coca-Cola's current market value is more than 1800 billion Eagle Coins, and 260 billion Eagle Coins can increase its stake by approximately 14.5%.

Under normal circumstances, if a company's executives and shareholders increase their holdings of so many shares at once, the company's stock price will definitely rise sharply. Even if it is listed on the A-share market, the company's stock price will definitely rise by more than three consecutive daily limits.

however!
At this moment!

These 14.5% of shares did not actually boost the stock price at all, and certain investment institutions and retail investors were determined to sell them.

Seeing the stock price fall to the 40 Eagle Coin area again, Coca-Cola executives and shareholders were completely panicked.

President Murphy thought of a way. He personally called Coca-Cola's most stable shareholder, Mr. Butterfield, known as the "God of Stocks", and asked him to personally issue an announcement to encourage shareholders and institutional investors not to sell Coca-Cola shares.

Butterfield held Coca-Cola shares for 35 years. Before Yang Chen shorted them, his profit exceeded 300 billion Eagle Coins, but now he only has less than 200 billion Eagle Coins.

Butterfield followed Murphy's advice and immediately posted a video.

"Hello, fellow Coca-Cola shareholders, institutional investors, and retail investors, I am Warren Butterfield. Coca-Cola's stock price has been subjected to malicious short selling by barbarians and is experiencing an irrational decline. I want to tell you two things. First, Coca-Cola's performance is very good and is optimistic in the long term. There will be better development and more dividends in the future. Second, I have not sold the shares I hold, and I will not sell them now or in the future. After I die, I will tell my successor not to sell them either. So, please join me in sticking to Coca-Cola, defending Coca-Cola's stock price, and bravely repelling the barbarians who are shorting the stock price. Believe me, everything you do today will be rewarded handsomely in the future."

Even Butterfield has come forward, so it stands to reason that Coca-Cola's stock price should rise again, right?

wrong!
Big mistake!

Shareholders felt that since Bartlett personally came out to persuade everyone not to sell, it meant that Coca-Cola's stock price would continue to fall sharply. Otherwise, how could a big shot of this level show up in public and release such a video?

Sell!
Sell ​​quickly!
If you’re slow, you won’t be able to sell it!
In short, there is a mysterious force controlling the shareholders of Coca-Cola, forcing them to sell without thinking.

Butterfield fell silent as he watched the stock price fall below 40 Eagle coins.

“Fuck! I risked my reputation by recording such a video, but I still couldn’t stop the stock price from falling. I wonder why those retail investors and institutional investors cooperated with Yang Chen in short selling.” Batfi muttered to himself in confusion.

At this time, the comment section of the video recorded by Butterfield was very lively.

"Wang Defa! Even the stock god can't save Coca-Cola's stock price?"

"This is too outrageous, right? Even if Bartfei comes personally, can't he give investors confidence? Why would Coca-Cola investors rather cooperate with Yang Chen in short selling than trust old man Bartfei? It's really unbelievable."

"Does this mean that even Bartfei can't do anything about Yang Chen's short selling? Who is the stock god between the two of them? I think the stock god is going to be replaced."

……

Having tried everything they could, and still unable to stop the stock price from falling, Coca-Cola President Murphy held another meeting.

"I give in. I'm really at my wits' end. The announcement of a huge performance increase and increased holdings has been issued, executives and shareholders have also increased their holdings, and even old man Butterfield has come forward, but the stock price still can't stop falling. I really can't think of any other way to use it. There has always been a question that bothers me. Why do institutional investors and retail investors cooperate with Yang Chen in short selling? Now who tells me that Yang Chen is possessed by God? I absolutely believe it, really, I won't have any doubts. I have no other choice, shareholders and executives, please tell me what you think." Murphy said desperately.

There was a moment of silence among shareholders and executives.

Just as Murphy said, we have thought of all possible solutions, but the stock price just won’t stop falling. What else can we do?

"We've already conceded once, so it's no big deal to concede again."

"Yes, I think so too. Our main product is Coca-Cola, and there is no conflict with Sihai Bingquan. As for whether sports competition is fair or not, what does it have to do with us? Doesn't Yang Chen want to force us to ask FIFA to lift the ban on Sihai Bingquan? We just need to satisfy him."

“Alas… Although it’s embarrassing and humiliating, but… there’s nothing I can do. I have no choice. Mr. Murphy, call Yang Chen in person and admit defeat. We’ve lost more than 60% of our wealth. We can’t hold on any longer.”

"agree!"

"I agree!"

……

The shareholders and executives have said so, and Murphy can only follow everyone's wishes.

At this time, Yang Chen was taking Liu Mei to bathe and play in the swimming pool when Murphy called.

Chen Xi went up to take the phone and handed it to Yang Chen. Yang Chen lay down by the swimming pool and answered the call.

"Hello, Mr. Yang, I am Murphy, the president of Coca-Cola. I hope my call does not disturb your rest." Murphy said.

Yang Chen smiled and replied, "I'm taking a shower and haven't slept yet. What's the matter with Mr. Murphy calling me?"

"Please, Mr. Yang, stop shorting Coca-Cola's stock price. Please tell me what conditions you have and I will do my best to meet them," Murphy said.

Yang Chen laughed loudly, and said: "You can be the president of Coca-Cola, how could you not know what I want? As long as those international sports organizations lift the ban, I will stop shorting your stocks."

"I can ask FIFA to lift the ban immediately. Can you stop short selling immediately?" Murphy asked.

Yang Chen laughed again, and said, “How could FIFA possibly agree to your request? The only way is for sponsors not to pay, broadcasters not to broadcast, and member countries not to participate in international competitions, so as to force FIFA to compromise. You are a smart person, you should understand what I mean, and you should know what to do. For me, even if those international sports organizations do not cancel the ban on Sihai Bingquan, I can make a lot of money by shorting the stock prices of your companies. So, I am not in a hurry at all. The longer this ban is delayed, the more money I will make.”

Murphy was about to cry, and said, "You are not anxious, but we are. I beg you, I admit defeat to you on behalf of Coca-Cola, please stop shorting us. Okay? In addition, we will offer the Four Seas Team a Coca-Cola endorsement contract, with an annual endorsement fee of 1 million Dragon Coins. Okay?"

According to the exchange rate, 1 million Dragon Coins are equivalent to 1500 million Eagle Coins. If Coca-Cola can stabilize Yang Chen with just this little money every year, it would be too good for it. Compared with losing half of its market value due to short selling, these 1500 million Eagle Coins are just a drop in the bucket.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "I don't want to waste my breath on you. I've already made my request clear. You can do whatever you want. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. I'm hanging up now."

Yang Chen immediately hung up the phone, turned around and continued to play in the water with Liu Mei.

Murphy was so angry that he calmed down and told the executives and shareholders what Yang Chen meant.

Bartfi immediately said: "Everyone in the world knows the reason why he is shorting so many companies so openly. If his demands are not met, he will definitely not stop. Let's do as he says. We will contact other shorted companies and hope to persuade them to join us in forcing FIFA to compromise."

Shareholders and executives nodded and took immediate action.

the other side.

Nike's current boss Travis Nike is discussing countermeasures with BlackRock President Pacquiao and Vanguard President Barkley. "Yang Chen is simply crazy. We at Nike have no grudges against him, but he actually shorted Nike's stock price. I have asked the secretary to issue an announcement, but it is of no avail. The stock price continues to fall. Therefore, I would like to ask the two presidents to join me in increasing the stock holdings. We must pull the stock price back. I wonder what the two presidents think?" Travis Nike said.

BlackRock President Pacquiao said: "Obviously, Mr. Nike doesn't know Yang Chen at all. Previously, he shorted Goldman Sachs, Strong, JPMorgan Chase, Coca-Cola and other international giants. The executives and shareholders of those companies tried every possible way, including increasing their holdings, but failed to stop the stock price from falling. Your idea of ​​increasing your holdings to raise the stock price is impossible to achieve."

“Once he’s targeting you, there’s no way to stop the stock price from falling unless you delist the company,” said Buckley, president of Vanguard.

Travis Nike was a little unconvinced and said, "The two presidents described him too well. He shorted so many companies this time, how could he succeed in every one of them? Let's give it a try. How do we know it won't work if we don't try?"

Pacquiao smiled and said, "How about this, you take out 100 billion Eagle coins to increase your holdings and see the effect. If the stock price really comes back, we will immediately start the process of increasing holdings. How about that?"

Barkley followed up by saying, "Yes, yes, Nike is your Nike family's business, you should take the lead and set an example. If you don't invest money to increase your holdings, how can other shareholders be willing to invest money to increase their holdings?"

There was nothing wrong with what he said. Travis Nike nodded and said, "Okay! Then our Nike family will take out 10 billion Eagle coins to increase our holdings. I hope the two presidents can fulfill their promises and prepare the funds for the increase."

Pacquiao and Barkley immediately nodded in agreement.

Travis Nike acted as soon as he said it and immediately mobilized 100 billion Eagle coins from family funds to increase holdings.

Nike’s total share capital is 15 billion shares. When Yang Chen shorted it, the share price was 160 Eagle Coins, and now it has fallen to 104 Eagle Coins.

The Nike family's 100 billion Eagle Coins are all piled up at the key price of 100 Eagle Coins. One million buy orders at the price of 100 Eagle Coins give people a strong sense of security.

However, this sense of security only lasted for a minute. When Nike's institutional and retail investors saw so many buy orders at the 100 Eagle Coin price, they immediately rushed to sell, and the key price of 100 Eagle Coin was broken in less than a minute.

Travis Nike looked at the odds in shock, and now he began to believe the words of the presidents of BlackRock and Vanguard.

“Fuck! What kind of magic did Yang Chen use to control Nike’s retail investors and institutions? Otherwise, how could so many institutions and retail investors all short sell?” Travis Nike asked in confusion.

After being depressed for a while, Travis Nike pulled BlackRock President Pacquiao and Vanguard President Barkley into the video conference room for a meeting.

Pacquiao smiled and consoled him: "It's okay, it's amazing that you can hold on for one minute."

Travis Nike: “…”

Barkley followed up by saying, "Yes, yes, one minute is already very impressive. Don't feel inferior. The main reason is that the opponent you are facing is too mysterious and too powerful. This is why we do not agree to increase our holdings, because this method is completely useless."

Travis Nike said: "I still don't believe it. I think the money for increasing holdings must be insufficient. You two should quickly mobilize funds to increase holdings. I believe you can definitely pull the stock price back up."

Pacquiao said: "We are very rational and will not lose our minds like you. Why should we suffer huge losses when we know it is impossible?"

Barkley immediately said, “Give up! According to our observation, as long as you give up to Yang Chen, he will pull the stock price back up after he stops shorting. Giving up is the best choice. Don’t be stupid and throw money into it.”

Travis Nike firmly believed that the share purchase was not enough. Since BlackRock and Vanguard were unwilling to pay, he went to other shareholders to raise money.

After Travis' efforts, he actually mobilized about 80 billion Eagle coins from executives and other shareholders to increase his holdings.

This time they put all the 80 billion Eagle Coins at the key price of 80 Eagle Coins. Travis didn't believe that it could be broken this time.

Facts have proved that reality is always so cruel. This time they only lasted less than a minute, and 80 billion Eagle coins were once again sold out by retail investors and institutions.

At this moment, Travis Nike finally believed the words of the presidents of BlackRock and Vanguard. Unless the stocks targeted by Yang Chen were delisted, there was no way to stop the stock price from falling.

Travis Nike was thinking about what to do next when Michael Jordan called him.

Anyone who knows about the NBA knows the relationship between Jordan and Nike. Nike created the exclusive AJ brand for Jordan, and Jordan himself also holds a small amount of Nike shares.

"Mr. Nike, our newly listed Sportradar was shorted by Yang Chen. We issued an announcement and increased our holdings, but the stock price continues to fall. Do you have any good ideas to stop the stock price from falling?" Jordan asked.

Travis Nike said helplessly: "It's the same here. We have tried every possible way. We even used 180 billion Eagle coins to increase holdings, but we still can't stop the stock price from falling. Even if God himself came down to earth, he can't let all institutions and retail investors sell short at the same time, right? I really can't understand what's going on!"

Jordan sighed and said, “Ah… then what are you going to do? We were caught in a complete disaster. We were accidentally injured in something that had nothing to do with us. We plan to talk to Yang Chen, what about you?”

Travis Nike replied: "Alas... now that things have come to this, we can only talk to him. I will contact Nike Dragon Country and ask them to arrange a video conference for us to talk to Yang Chen. I will bring you in then."

Jordan quickly said, "Okay, okay. Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Nike. Alas..."

Longguo time, nine o'clock in the morning.

Yang Chen came to the office.

Not long after, Chen Xi came over to report, "Director Yang, Nike's Dragon Country President Dong Ye just called and said that Nike's president and Jordan want to have a video chat with you. Do you want to communicate with them?"

Yang Chen smiled and said: "Since you took the initiative to communicate with me, then I will communicate with you. You arrange it."

Chen Xi nodded and quickly called Dong Ye back. After the two of them coordinated, they started a video conference.

Yang Chen, Travis Nike, and Michael Jordan entered the conference room and started chatting.

"Mr. Yang, we at Nike have no grudges against you. You can't hurt us for no reason. Mr. Yang, please stop shorting Nike immediately. Please feel free to state any conditions you have and we will do our best to meet them." Travis Nike said.

Jordan then said, "SportRadar has only been listed for a few months, and the stock price has just been raised, but you destroyed it in one day. It is about to fall below the issue price. It is really unfair. Mr. Yang, please stop shorting our stock price. Okay?"

Yang Chen smiled and said: "My purpose of shorting you is clear to you, and I will never give up until I achieve my goal. So you don't need to waste your breath talking nonsense to me. If you really want the stock price to stop falling, or even rise again, then just do what you should do. When I see the effect, I will naturally end everything."

Travis Nike said: "This is too much of a gangster behavior. Do you think it is appropriate for you to short the stock price of an innocent company in order to achieve your own goals?"

Yang Chen laughed loudly and said, “Why is it inappropriate? Your stock market allows short selling, and I am operating according to the law, so what’s inappropriate about it? Either you don’t go public, or ask the Bald Eagle Securities Regulatory Department to cancel the short selling mechanism, and don’t think about morally blackmailing me.”

Morally speaking, short selling is not a good thing, but legally speaking, short selling is legal. As long as it is legal, Yang Chen will not be morally kidnapped by anyone.

Michael Jordan said: "We understand. Please tell us clearly what to do, Mr. Yang, and we will do it unconditionally."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Nike is the sponsor of the NBA, and Mr. Jordan is the god of basketball. You should talk to the NBA president and ask him to force European broadcasters to put pressure on FIFA, otherwise they will not broadcast the NBA. In addition, you can also communicate with your football association and other sports departments and ask them to put pressure on FIFA and other sports organizations. Anyway, it's this kind of method, you can do it yourself. I only look at the results. If the results satisfy me, I will satisfy you. Is it clear enough?"

Travis Nike and Michael Jordan nodded, understanding what Yang Chen meant.

After the video conference, Travis and Jordan immediately went to see NBA Commissioner Adam Silver as Yang Chen asked.

Under the propaganda of Coca-Cola President Murphy and Nike President Travis Nike, the companies on the Bald Eagle side all understood what Yang Chen meant. After they tried various methods and failed to stop the stock price from falling, they all chose to compromise.

On the other hand, the European market was also wailing.

Under the advocacy of FIFA, football associations of various countries encouraged club owners and shareholders to take active resistance measures such as increasing their holdings, and they must not compromise with Yang Chen, the bandit and bully.

Club owners and shareholders also actively responded to the initiative of FIFA and national football associations, and invested huge sums of money to increase their holdings within two trading days.

result?

His stock price keeps falling.

The problem they face is the same as that of Coca-Cola and Nike. No matter how much money they use to increase their holdings, institutions and retail investors can always sell out their money, giving them the feeling that they can never buy enough.

With no other options, the club owners gave in.

Esterías, owner of La Liga club Real Madrid, was the first to collapse, as the share prices of his ACS construction group and telecommunications giant Telefonica Group have fallen by an outrageous 80%. His name was originally on the European rich list, but now he has dropped out of the list.

Esterillas sent a letter to European football on behalf of Real Madrid Club.

"Dear friends in European football, I am Pierre Esterillas, the controlling shareholder of Real Madrid Club. On behalf of Real Madrid Club, I would like to make the most sincere and urgent proposal to you. European football and Dragon football do not have much intersection. Even if their players can enhance their physical strength by drinking Four Seas Ice Spring, what does it have to do with us? Even if our national team meets them in the World Cup, so what? They drink Four Seas Ice Spring to level the physical gap with us, and both sides can be considered to be fighting fairly. Therefore, we don't need to sacrifice our own interests to help some people solve personal grievances. Colleagues, it's time to wake up, we should act immediately, and force our national football associations to make the right choice, and then force FIFA to correct its mistakes through the football associations. Time is running out, don't hesitate any more. Looking forward to your response."

The Real Madrid Club’s letter of initiative can actually be used to announce that Yang Chen is going to win.

Soon, various clubs issued announcements.

Manchester United Club: Urge the Premier League Office and the English Football Association to immediately correct their wrong behaviors and stop aiding and abetting evil, and force FIFA to also correct its wrong behaviors immediately.

Chelsea Club: We urge the Premier League Office and the English Football Association to correct their wrong behaviors. We hope that FIFA will also correct its wrong behaviors immediately and restore the innocence and fairness of the Dragon National Team.

Inter Milan: We urge the Serie A office and the Italian Football Association to immediately correct their mistakes and apologize for their wrong actions. We also hope that FIFA will immediately realize its mistakes, correct them in a timely manner, and apologize to the relevant victims.

Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Liverpool, Bayern, Dortmund...

All the clubs that were shorted by Yang Chen, or not shorted by Yang Chen, issued similar announcements.

The European land launched a vigorous football rectification movement for Yang Chen...
