Reborn as a landlord in Shanghai

Chapter 108 Talented individuals should be bound together by contracts.

Over the next five days, Mao Xiaoyu finally witnessed the terrifying power of the genius stock traders working together. If the market hadn't been closed on Saturday and Sunday, their achievements would have been even more astonishing.

Du Yue and Peng Yu were both genius stock traders; their talent was obvious. Otherwise, Mao Xiaoyu wouldn't have invited them to Hong Kong to help her manage her stocks.

Du Yue and Peng Yu were both geniuses to begin with, and this collaboration between them was even more of a collaboration between two geniuses, which gave them a lot of inspiration and made them more confident in their understanding of the overall market.

This resulted in Tencent's stock price fluctuating wildly during the five-day trading period amidst the torrential rain, causing Mao Xiaoyu to continuously lower the acquisition price of Tencent's stock over those five days.

Although Mao Xiaoyu acquired only 6 million Tencent shares in those 5 days, it was just a drop in the ocean compared to the more than 4 million Tencent shares circulating in the market.

However, Mao Xiaoyu acquired these 6 million shares at an extremely low price, with the total acquisition price being only about 3.9 yuan per share, less than 4 yuan per share.

This acquisition price is almost the same as Tencent's IPO price last year, after all, Tencent's IPO price was only 3.7 yuan per share last year.

This shows how much money Mao Xiaoyu's team made on Tencent stock in the past 5 days. After all, such a low stock price was definitely not bought, but rather achieved by Mao Xiaoyu's team through high-frequency trading and low-volume buying, which allowed them to drive down the acquisition price of Tencent stock to such a low level.

After all, over the past five days, if you look at Tencent's overall market performance, Tencent's stock price has fluctuated between 5.0 and 7.0 every day, fluctuating two or three times a day, which is incredibly frustrating to watch.

Ordinary stock market investors could only watch in fear and trembling, but Du Yue and Peng Yu, through their genius-like collaboration, managed to reap profits from these fluctuations.

It's fair to say that many investors who hold Tencent shares these days feel like they're losing money as soon as they buy and experiencing a surge in stock price as soon as they sell. They feel like the market is always working against them and is maliciously targeting them.

But the more these investors refused to accept defeat and the more they wanted to prove themselves in this environment, the more serious their losses became. Sometimes they would lose tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan in a single day without even knowing how they lost it.

During these five days, Du Yue and Peng Yu's team not only manipulated stock prices by buying low and selling high, but also absorbed 900 million shares in the stock market.

With a stock price of around 6, by the last two hours of Friday, everyone thought Tencent's stock price had finally settled at around 7 yuan.

Du Yue and Peng Yu executed a reverse strategy, dumping 300 million shares directly into the market. This triggered a sell-off by many ordinary retail investors, causing Tencent's stock price to miraculously recover to 5 by the close of trading.

94.

Such a stock price is equivalent to returning to the level when Du Yue and Peng Yu came to Hong Kong a week ago. Over the course of a week, if you ignore the fluctuations in Tencent's stock price and only look at the stock price, the average person would feel that there was not much change. At most, one was 5.94 and the other was 5.86, a difference of a few points.

However, for Mao Xiaoyu, this week not only saw the acquisition of 600 million Tencent shares, but also the sale of 300 million shares on Friday afternoon. Otherwise, Mao Xiaoyu would have had even more Tencent shares, though the acquisition price might have been slightly higher.

As for Du Yue and Peng Yu, setting the price of Tencent stock at around 5.94 would deceive retail investors, making them feel that the stock price hasn't changed much and lower their guard. Then, they would unknowingly fall into Du Yue and Peng Yu's hands to reap the rewards the following week.

According to Du Yue and Peng Yu's analysis, if they do it this way, as long as there is no human interference or Tencent's intervention, Mao Xiaoyu will be able to acquire enough Tencent shares within a month at most.

Furthermore, it can also lower the stock price to a certain extent. According to Du Yue and Peng Yu's analysis, if they continue to acquire shares like this, Mao Xiaoyu's acquisition price per share will not exceed 5 yuan, which is far lower than the market price.

Mao Xiaoyu was naturally delighted by this good news and was very satisfied with the two of them's work over the past week, and even considered valuing their talent.

In order to keep the two of them in Hong Kong and help her manipulate Tencent's stock price, Mao Xiaoyu had no choice but to seek out Attorney Zhang, hoping he could come up with some good ideas on how to keep them in Hong Kong and help her with the stock matters.

Attorney Zhang was quite capable. In the end, based on Mao Xiaoyu's Hong Kong offshore company, Attorney Zhang used work visas to sign Du Yue and Peng Yu under Mao Xiaoyu's Hong Kong offshore company. Although the work visas were only for three months, they perfectly resolved the issues that Mao Xiaoyu needed to deal with next.

However, Mao Xiaoyu reluctantly paid Lawyer Zhang nearly 5 yuan in legal fees and 10 yuan in deposit for this.

The legal fees of 5 yuan were the cost of this case, which was very expensive.

The deposit has been paid to the government, and Du Yue and Peng Yu can get it back after they leave Hong Kong within three months.

If the extension is extended and the company remains illegally in Hong Kong, the security deposit will be forfeited, and Mao Xiaoyu's offshore company may also face penalties.

After thinking about it for an hour or two, Mao Xiaoyu finally decided to use her offshore company as the guarantor.

Of course, besides keeping Du Yue and Peng Yu, it took Mao Xiaoyu two whole days to reach an agreement with them on their treatment, which was settled on Saturday and Sunday when the market was closed.

When Mao Xiaoyu called the four people over, she didn't treat them any special treatment. She just wanted them to familiarize themselves with Hong Kong stock trading and find a few suckers to help her buy stocks.

When Du Yue and Peng Yu arrived, Mao Xiaoyu, not wanting to appear too capitalist, agreed to give each of them a weekly wage of HK$5000, on the condition that her travel expenses be reimbursed, as a token gesture.

But now that Mao Xiaoyu sees how much help Du Yue and Peng Yu have given her, she knows that if she is still unwilling to spend money, why should they help her?

After all, they didn't say how many days they would help me.

More importantly, HSBC recognized the abilities of Du Yue and Peng Yu, and in the past two days, they have been intentionally or unintentionally offering high salaries to try and hire the two to work in Hong Kong.

The annual salary offered is in the millions of Hong Kong dollars, and if you perform well, it could be several million or even tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

It was precisely because of the external pressure that Mao Xiaoyu had no choice but to negotiate with Du Yue and Peng Yu. After two days of talks, the three of them finally reached an agreement.

To ensure the outcome was achieved, Mao Xiaoyu hired lawyer Zhang and signed a contract directly.

This contract is a cooperation agreement with many clauses, but the most important ones are only four.

Article 1 of the contract stipulates that the maximum duration of this Tencent stock trading operation is three months. During this period, Mao Xiaoyu is required to provide Du Yue and Peng Yu with three months' worth of salaries totaling HKD 6.

The amount was the same as the HK$5,000 per week they had initially agreed upon; it was simply written into the contract, and the amount was not increased. The reason for not increasing it was mainly due to Article 2.

Article 2 of the contract, which is the most important one, stipulates that three months later, Mao Xiaoyu must give each of them HK$450 million to help them invest in immigration to Hong Kong.

As for why there is a second point, it's mainly because Du Yue and Peng Yu discovered that they seem to be more comfortable with Hong Kong stocks and US stocks.

The main reason is that China's A-shares market has daily price limits and many restrictions, which means that traders have very little time to trade each day. For talented traders like them, although they can make money in the A-shares market, it is too difficult.

For example, when buying stocks for Mao Xiaoyu, even if they wanted to save money for her, they couldn't save much because there were too many restrictions. Now, compared to Hong Kong stocks, Du Yue and Peng Yu both felt that it would be better to just trade Hong Kong stocks.

Having witnessed the frenzy of the Hong Kong stock market, neither of them wanted to go back to trading A-shares. But staying in Hong Kong meant either working for someone else or becoming their own boss.

There's really no need to think about it. As Chinese people, if they have the opportunity to be a boss, of course they'll be the boss. So even if HSBC's offer was very good, it was Mao Xiaoyu's offer that ultimately won them over.

The price they paid was to help Mao Xiaoyu manage Tencent's stock for three months for free. After three months, Mao Xiaoyu would lend each of them 450 million yuan, and Du Yue and Peng Yu could each take 100 million Hong Kong dollars to invest in government-designated projects.

Each of them would contribute HK$100 million, plus HK$200 million prepared by Mao Xiaoyu, for a total of HK$400 million. The three of them would pool their money to buy a place in Hong Kong that could be used as both an office and a residence for stock trading.

As for the remaining HKD 2.5 million, Mao Xiaoyu will contribute HKD 5 million to jointly establish a financial company with the two of them, with assets worth tens of millions. This company will be used specifically for stock trading, with a share ratio of 250:2.5:500. However, the financial company will be decided by Du Yue and Peng Yu.

Furthermore, this financial company's assets will exceed HK$100 million a year later, at which time HK$20 million will be taken from the company's assets and returned to Mao Xiaoyu.

This money can be considered as paying off the HK$450 million that the two of them each owed Mao Xiaoyu. The extra HK$50 can be considered as the annual interest on the HK$450 million.

If, after one year, the financial company's assets do not exceed HK$000 million, the company will still have to pay back HK$2 million to Mao Xiaoyu, and the company's shareholding ratio will be 6:2:2. This means that Du Yue and Peng Yu's shareholding will be reduced by 0.5 each, which is also a penalty for their performance-based agreement.

If this financial company can't even come up with HK$20 million, then all of the company's assets will go to Mao Xiaoyu, and the debts will also be calculated. In addition, Du Yue and Peng Yu have each worked for Mao Xiaoyu for 5 years.

Of course, the salaries and commissions due for these 5 years must still be paid, as long as they are at a level similar to that in the industry. After 5 years, the two can choose to stay or leave as they see fit, but there is one thing: the HKD 500 million must be paid off.

Article 3 of the contract stipulates that, based on fulfilling Article 2, the financial company must achieve assets of HK$500 million within three years. Whether the company continues operating or splits up after reaching this market capitalization requires the three parties to sit down and discuss.

In other words, unless the financial company goes bankrupt or becomes insolvent and is acquired by Mao Xiaoyu, it will operate for at least four years. During these four years, Du Yue and Peng Yu will be tied to this financial company.

Moreover, the target for the first year is HK$100 million, and the target for the following three years is HK$500 million.

However, there is one condition: if the financial company does not reach HK$5 million in assets after three years, then Du Yue and Peng Yu will have to work for the company for another three years.

Moreover, during these three years, the company's management rights will be handed over, and all matters concerning the company will be under Mao Xiaoyu's control. Du Yue and Peng Yu must obey orders.

Article 4 of the contract states that seven years after the company's establishment, the three individuals will sit down together again to discuss whether the company needs to continue operating. If it no longer needs to continue operating, the company will be divided according to the shareholding ratio. However, Du Yue and Peng Yu are prohibited from engaging in financial work for at least two years, and violators will be held legally responsible.

Although the above four terms were a bit harsh, they also gave Du Yue and Peng Yu the opportunity to become billionaires. Moreover, after Du Yue and Peng Yu took control of Tencent's stock, they felt that the conditions were not too high and that making money in Hong Kong stocks was quite easy, so they agreed to Mao Xiaoyu's request.

And it was through this contract that Mao Xiaoyu managed to bring Du Yue and Peng Yu, two talented individuals, onto his side.

In Mao Xiaoyu's view, although Du Yue and Peng Yu did not lose money, she herself made a huge profit.

Based on the current share price of Tencent's acquisition, the two can earn at least tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars from this Tencent stock. In the end, they can take out 16 million Hong Kong dollars, lend 9 million Hong Kong dollars to the two of them, and take out another 7 million Hong Kong dollars to jointly speculate in stocks with them.

If I win, I can earn at least 100 to 200 million. If I lose, I'll just consider it a loss on Tencent. Anyway, I'm sure I can make money on Tencent, so I think I'm guaranteed to win no matter what.

As for Wu Tianqing and Yu Feng, Mao Xiaoyu wasn't in a hurry to bring them over. After all, she already had better traders managing Tencent's stock, and bringing the two of them over would be superfluous.

Moreover, Wu Tianqing and Yu Feng's Hong Kong and Macau travel permits had not yet been issued, so Mao Xiaoyu told them to wait at home for her phone call. In the end, Mao Xiaoyu planned to have them come over to help her manage her US stock market and buy Apple shares.

However, to buy Apple stock, Tencent must first make enough money before it can afford to buy Apple stock. Therefore, we will have to wait and see what Du Yue and Peng Yu do next.
