Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 525 Making Hundreds of Millions! Accountant Jia and Yuan Shao? From Mistress to Mistress!

"Trading suspended immediately! Fenbei.com may be concealing major copyright issues!"

Wall Street newspapers seem to really like using sensational headlines.

However, to be fair, this approach does seem to have some effect.

After all, this is stock market news, and it involves a lot of money.

Moreover, something has indeed happened. Fenbei.com's important assets have run into problems, and there are even suspicions of fraud.

That needs to be reported properly, so as not to let more people fall for it.

Of course, we haven't reached the point of initiating legal proceedings yet, but in the US stock market, the law can be used at any time.

Simply put, because the US stock market has a very long history and its financial practices are quite sophisticated, there have been various scams and irregularities in the past.

Therefore, there are people who specialize in law, or who specialize in using the law to extort money from listed companies.

Seriously, there are all sorts of people, groups, and types of people making money here.

You must understand one principle.

Driven by money, people will unleash the full potential of biodiversity.

Therefore, the current situation of Fenbei.com can be described as extremely dangerous.

They could be sued at any time.

Moreover, the person suing Fenbei.com could be a US financial market regulator, or it could be someone or a group that has absolutely no connection with Fenbei.com.

Of course, the biggest crisis right now is that the website's stock has been suspended from trading.

Trading is temporarily suspended.

Nasdaq means to figure things out first, and then trade.

This practice is very common and frequently used in the stock market.

But, is it possible to figure it out?
In any case, there is constant speculation about this stock.

Some American stock commentators have gone so far as to say that Fenbei.com is likely a scam.

Some American investors online are even cursing the stock for making them lose money.

It's obvious that the price had been falling before; I wonder how many investors would be trapped.

There is one more detail to consider.

There aren't many individual stock investors in the United States. This doesn't mean that Americans don't buy stocks; on the contrary, a great many Americans buy stocks.

While not everyone buys stocks, a significant portion of pension funds are actually invested in the stock market.

The movie "Wall Street" actually explains this in detail. What kind of job did the male protagonist do at the beginning of the movie?
Call up.

It looks like a telemarketing job, but in reality, he's using phone calls to attract investors. To put it another way, he's getting ordinary people to entrust their money for stock investment to brokers like him.

Therefore, there are very few individual investors in the United States who go it alone; most of them entrust their investments to brokers or buy into certain funds.

And in that case... anyone who has traded stocks knows that some funds are specifically for subscribing to new shares.

Fenbei.com refers to newly listed stocks. The operating principle of this type of fund is to subscribe to newly listed stocks.

Yes, their operations are very mechanical; they simply follow a predetermined strategy, regardless of whether the stock is good or bad.

Because the profits of funds are not really related to whether stocks make or lose money; they mainly make money from stock investors.

That's all for now regarding the US stock market.

The current situation is that many Americans have been affected.

Many people are very anxious.

American investors feel that the shareholders of Fenbei.com have cheated them!
In fact, many people have no idea that the people who are more anxious now are actually the shareholders of Fenbei.com!

A mansion on the Upper East Side of New York City.

Did you buy it?

"I only contributed a small amount."

Where is Mr. Li?

"Mr. Li, why did you suddenly stop trading this stock?"

In fact, this mansion belongs to the second son of the Li family.

All the investors of Fenbei.com are rushing over here in a hurry.

Although these business owners didn't say it explicitly, their meaning was very clear.

What are you doing, Li Lao Er?
Why are you taking action now?

We haven't sold many shares yet!

Selling stocks always takes time, and everyone's previous plans were based on Li Lao Er's advice.

After the company goes public, it should sell as many shares as possible.

However, Li Lao Er did not reveal any other details.

This is Decibel.com, what will he do?

Maybe this website will be gone without any effort being made to fix it.

He might do something.

Now that this has happened, how can everyone not be angry?

But to everyone's surprise...

"I didn't sell many!"

The expression on Li Lao Er's face made it impossible to tell that he was lying.

Fellow shareholders and business owners, let's look at each other.

For the first time, Sun Donghai felt panicked.

He couldn't help but ask again.

"Really?"

This question revealed his true feelings.

Panic was overflowing.

However, this issue didn't elicit any complaints from the bosses; instead, everyone looked at Li Lao Er with great anticipation!

Oh no, everyone is in a panic!
Given the current situation, even Li Lao Er couldn't help but panic.

Anyone who understands finance knows that they are not afraid of negative news or technical adjustments; what they are truly afraid of is just two words.

panic!

The current shareholders of Fenbei.com are in a state of collective panic.

If this matter cannot be handled properly, then I'm afraid...

"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely handle this! I have already discussed it with Chairman Zheng, and he will definitely resolve the issue. 'Mice Love Rice' is just a song, and the owner of this song is no big deal."

Li Lao Er was clearly trying to appease the bosses.

But will this even work?

These business owners were quite helpless. They had originally gotten on the bus because Li Lao Er had told them they could easily make a fortune.

Now that I look at it... where is there any way to make money?

It's a miracle that our previous investments didn't go down the drain!
In fact, the investment in Fenbei.com itself for this IPO was not much money.

The key is to streamline all the processes.

Those people on Wall Street are ruthless and vicious; the whole world knows how insidious they are.

But in order to get this website listed on the stock exchange, Li Lao Er and his team really spent a lot of money.

Otherwise, how could it have gone so smoothly?

How could you estimate several hundred million US dollars?

just now……

"Let's all trust Mr. Li."

Sun Donghai has finally gotten his act together; he knows that he has to get Li Lao Er to do things no matter what.

After discussing it, the bosses realized they had no choice but to trust Li Lao Er for the time being.

but.

"You have to give us a guarantee!"

"Time! How many days will it take to get this done?"

"You can't say it's been dragging on for several years, can you?"

With that sarcastic tone, you can imagine the pressure Li Lao Er was under.

"One week!"

There's nothing we can do but give everyone a time limit.

As for whether it will work by then... let's not think about that for now!

The key is to get rid of these people.

Therefore, the shareholders of Fenbei.com made a one-week agreement with Li Lao Er.

……

"The contract is signed, and it's all yours."

"very good."

"Ma Xun, you've gone a bit too far!"

“Brother Jia, I’m giving you another chance. I can disregard the contract we just signed, and you can still be one of the shareholders of Fenbei.com.”

Ma Xun's words caused Accountant Jia's expression to change several times.

Ultimately, however, he chose to accept the contract.

"Forget it! This was just my bad luck, but we can still work together in the future, right?"

Huh? Why is this guy still thinking about cooperating?
Ma Xun laughed, "Of course, I've always had an open attitude towards the copyright of Jay Chou and Phoenix Legend."

Makes sense.

This is what they call maintaining goodwill even if a deal falls through. Although Ma Xun and Accountant Jia did not actually reach a cooperation agreement this time.

But Jia's ambition is, after all, to create an ecosystem.

Since it's a circle, it should have everything.

Music is absolutely essential.

Ma Xun's copyrights are very important; Phoenix Legend's songs are now played everywhere.

Jay Chou goes without saying.

Needless to say, Yang Yuying is also constantly discovering new talents.

Ma Xun is doing quite well. If a newcomer can really sing well and sell well, then we should support them a lot.

If that doesn't work, then forget it.

Forget it? You can call this a good thing?
It's already really good. In the music market, many singers release songs and then disappear.

The reason was that the songs didn't sell very well, and also, they actually owed the company money and had to pay it back.

At least Ma Xun didn't make promising newcomers pay off their debts, right?
That's already considered a conscientious boss.

But let's leave those aside and get back to Ma Xun and Accountant Jia.

Accountant Jia eventually sold his shares.

Ma Xun essentially got a windfall.

However, from a business perspective, this was actually Jia's way of avoiding legal risks.

It's like taking a loss in the stock market. But as soon as Accountant Jia left, Bai Xiaohang couldn't hold back anymore.

"Brother Ma, I really don't understand your series of moves."

"Don't understand? Heh, what's so difficult about that? Just tell me, do you understand Jia Yueting?"

"Him? I don't understand him either."

Clearly, Bai Xiaohang was not lying.

Ma Xun laughed and said, "In this battle, I originally planned to bring Jia Yueting in as a scapegoat, but things went too smoothly in other aspects, so I might as well get rid of him."

As for this guy… don’t you think he looks like a character from the Three Kingdoms period?”

"The Three Kingdoms? Who?" Bai Xiaohang considered himself well-versed in the Three Kingdoms... cough cough, actually he had watched the TV series many times.

But, we're quite familiar with each other, right? But this Jia Yueting...

Bai Xiaohang's performance was exactly what Ma Xun expected.

"Yuan Shao."

"Ah...oh!! It really does look like it!"

Bai Xiaohang realized what was happening.

He is indeed like Yuan Shao. Just look at what Jia Yueting did today.

Ma Xun had given him a chance: he could continue to hold shares in Fenbei.com and weather the storm together.

Of course, there are indeed risks ahead, such as the possibility of facing legal action.

But Ma Xun really didn't force Jia Yueting to leave, right?
However, Jia Yueting still couldn't make up his mind and chose to run away instead.

Looking at the entire Decibel.com incident, isn't it just a reflection of Yuan Shao's traits?

They are tempted by small gains and risk their lives, but are cautious about their own safety when undertaking great tasks.

Previously, Ma Xun had tricked this guy, and Jia Yueting immediately took the bait. Wasn't he planning to make a quick buck and also acquire the music copyright?

Now that the crisis has arrived, Jia Yueting just ran away... Yeah, he did the same thing later, right? He ran to America and never came back.

This time, Ma Xun had a minor showdown with Accountant Jia.

They identified him immediately; he was Yuan Shao!
Well, he's not even as good as Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's family had at least four generations of high-ranking officials, while Jia Yueting, well, he himself didn't even know which powerful figure he was clinging to!
Of course, they're also impressive; even though they manipulated Jia Yueting to this extent, they always used a fake name.

Never mind, I won't say any more.

Bai Xiaohang was still somewhat confused. Although he understood Jia Yueting as Yuan Shao, but...

"Brother Ma, I'm very worried. How can we break this situation?"

Hearing this, Ma Xun laughed, "You don't think that copyright issue with 'Mice Love Rice' was just a coincidence, do you?"

Bai Xiaohang was shocked when he heard this, "Isn't that right?"

Goodness, this thing is amazing.

Ma Xun was quite helpless, but he still said, "There's nothing I can do about that copyright issue, but there are people who can."

"Who?" Bai Xiaohang was such a curious child.

Ma Xun could only patiently say, "The author of this song is a bit shameless. Of course, a sudden surge in popularity can easily make people arrogant."

He sold one song to several different companies before, so it's only natural that he's running into problems now.

Is that right?

Bai Xiaohang was completely confused, but he was actually quite intelligent.

"But in the end, won't we still have to face that guy Li Lao Er about this?"

It was obvious that Li Lao Er was not easy to deal with.

Although, in this whole incident, Li Lao Er was actually the one who made money for himself.

After all, TOM, which he owns, is still a portal website, and he belongs to the Li family who are mainly involved in the IT industry.

As we all know, the Li family's businesses are very traditional, mainly in real estate and infrastructure.

It's important to understand that companies that can build infrastructure are incredibly powerful and wealthy. For example, Toho's parent company in Japan builds trains, subways, and the entire rail transit system.

IT is a new industry and a current hot sector, so it's impossible for the Li family to ignore it.

Li Lao Er is the representative of the Li family in the IT industry.

Now that this has happened, will Ma Xun have to face the Li family, a very powerful and top-tier business family?
Ma Xun laughed, "Didn't I already say that I didn't handle that song? Someone else did."

"Ah? Could it be..."

Bai Xiaohang seemed to understand something.

Just then, Ma Xun's phone rang.

"It's Li Lao Er."

"So……"

"Don't rush, the real show is about to begin."

……

A coffee shop near Wall Street in New York.

Li Lao Er had already spoken to Ma Xun on the phone, and they arranged to meet here to discuss matters.

The copyright issue surrounding "Mice Love Rice" must be resolved as soon as possible.

Don't underestimate this song; it's incredibly popular, to an incomprehensible degree.

Li Lao Er pretended to be calm and ordered coffee, but as he waited, someone suddenly appeared.

"Mr. Li, it's been a long time."

"Oh, Mr. Ma? What brings you here?"

Mr. Ma?
Not Ma Xun?!
Anyway, the appearance of this person surprised Li Lao Er greatly.

He is Pony Ma from Tencent!
Li Lao Er and Tencent's Xiao Ma are old acquaintances.

But today, everyone's status seems to have changed.

Previously, Li Lao Er was quite successful; he was a major investor.

But now, Pony Ma, the CEO of Tencent, is also a big boss of a listed company, and he's not afraid at all.

The key point is that it wasn't false to begin with.

Actually, the Li family was able to invest in Tencent because of their connections with the previous generation.

I won't go into details.

Let's talk about the more important topic right now... Wait a minute!
That's Ma Xun's method!

Interestingly, Ma Xun doesn't even need to take action himself; someone else will.

So, this whole situation on Fenbei.com should come to a conclusion here.

……

Not even a week has passed.

The matter of Fenbei.com has already been clarified.

"The copyright dispute over the song 'Mice Love Rice' has been resolved!"

"The Li family has retained a certain percentage of shares in Fenbei.com!"

"Fenbei.com has received another major boost! It will be cooperating comprehensively with Tencent!"

One piece of news after another, each seemingly unremarkable on its own, but when put together...

That's really impressive.

Although Li Lao Er was not eliminated, his original plan was to escape directly.

But now, he can only retain 10% of the shares.

The copyright dispute surrounding the song "Mice Love Rice" actually involves Tencent.

This was originally an online song, and the singer, Lao Yang, has sold it to several different companies.

But now, they've all been acquired by Tencent.

Finally, Fenbei.com became part of Tencent.

In other words, Tencent has expanded into the online music sector.

Although Tencent is not making much money right now, this move is thought-provoking.

To put it simply, it has enormous potential, absolutely no problem.

And all this...

"I convinced him."

"Huh? Really?"

"Yes, taking action is also part of my plan."

"Amazing!"

"As for dealing with that Li Lao Er, it's not difficult at all. After all, Li Lao Er has been plotting to harm people from the very beginning."

And to get rid of him, it's all about using the law.

"The law? How are we supposed to handle this?"

"Why are you asking so many questions, little girl?"

"People are just curious, after all, this matter has been widely discussed."

"What are they all spreading?"

"So, you're amazing, Mr. Ma is amazing, and... well, they're all amazing."

"Haha...you've successfully made me laugh."

"Uncle~"

Such an intimate term is what makes her "little honey."

That's right, Xiaomi has now completed the upgrade, and the gauze on her face has been removed.

Although there are still some minor issues, such as the swelling needing to go down.

But Ma Xun could already see it...

Isn't this the future Big Mimi?
From mistress to big cat?
Not bad.

But Xiao Mi is really a gossip; she insisted on hearing about the details of this incident.

But what about Ma Xun?

"Let me check the quality of your surgery first."

"Huh? What is it?"

"Has this been done?"

"You mean here? Of course not!"

Xiao Mi said in a very proud voice.

Ma Xun laughed and pinned the girl against the wall.

"Really nothing has been touched?"

"Really, no, some people even think it's too big."

It looks like it really has turned into a big cat.

Ma Xun probably made hundreds of millions this time, so now, let's do another deal worth hundreds of millions...
