The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment
Chapter 355 A Great Battle Caused by a Family Scandal
As Lingyun predicted, the news that the Federal Reserve was preparing for an emergency interest rate cut caused an immediate uproar in the international financial markets.
European stock markets are rising at an accelerated pace during trading hours.
As expected, US stocks opened sharply higher at 9:30 p.m.
Then it opened higher and continued to rise, maintaining a strong momentum throughout the day, and finally closed with an astonishing increase of about 8.3%.
Faced with this result, the investment teams and state-owned financial institutions that had already completed their short-to-long strategy cheered and made huge profits!
Ling Yun, meanwhile, remained calm and collected, spending time intimately with Yanzi and Leilei while closely monitoring the situation in the international financial market.
at the same time.
After China Investment Corporation (CIC) secretly signed a cooperation agreement with the Volkswagen board of directors and secured voting rights, it immediately informed the Volkswagen chairman of its tactics.
Upon receiving those strategies, the chairman of Volkswagen was overjoyed and immediately instructed his team to implement them.
Then he personally called Chairman Lou to inquire who came up with these ingenious techniques!
Lou Dong was prepared, saying that this was the collective wisdom of CIC's top investment research team, rather than the sudden genius of one person!
If CIC hadn't already reached a cooperation agreement with Volkswagen, it would never have been released!
Now that we're all in the same trench, there's no need to hold back anymore!
Upon hearing this official answer, the chairman of Volkswagen had no choice but to believe it and expressed his sincere gratitude!
Before we knew it, it was midnight.
In the master bedroom.
As the rain stopped and the wind died down, Lingyun embraced the sweat-drenched Yanzi against the headboard, whispering and flirting as they rested and calmed their breathing.
They would get out of bed to take a shower once their strength had recovered somewhat and their breathing had gradually calmed down.
Just then, Ling Yun suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around, reached for his phone on the bedside table, and checked the time.
"It's past midnight, and all the stock markets in Europe have closed. Honey, you've been acting a bit crazy tonight, going on for so long."
Yanzi's pretty face instantly turned red, and then she shyly punched him lightly.
"Get lost! Why am I acting so crazy? It's because I want to have a baby for you, you fickle radish, so that Sister Yuanyuan can't have it all..."
Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that there was an important step she hadn't done yet.
The next moment, she quickly picked up two pillows, stacked them together, and placed them under her buttocks, then lay on her back with her buttocks and legs propped up.
"Honey, you go take a shower first, I'll shower in half an hour. That should increase our chances of getting pregnant."
"By the way, you just mentioned that European stock markets have closed. Is that related to the Porsche acquisition of Volkswagen that you mentioned before?"
"If you have anything on your mind, you can go to the study to work; you don't need to stay here with me."
Ling Yun lowered his head and kissed Yanzi on the forehead, then shook his head with a smile.
"My concern about the European stock market closing is indeed related to the Porsche acquisition of Volkswagen, but the outcome of this matter is certain and there will be no further mishaps."
"For me, the most important thing right now is being with you. That's the happiest thing, a hundred times more important than making money!"
"Hmph! You're just all sweet talk; we've suffered because of your sweet talk."
Yanzi gave a soft hum and gently kissed Lingyun's lips.
Then, Lingyun scooted down and lay on his back next to Yanzi, continuing to flirt and joke in low voices.
Thousands of kilometers away, at Porsche headquarters.
Wolfgang, the de facto head of Porsche, sat on a large sofa, listening to a report from Porsche CEO Martin Winterkorn with a somber expression.
"Volkswagen's series of moves this afternoon were extremely clever; almost every move hit our weak points!"
"Especially the fact that we secretly borrowed tens of billions of euros to acquire Volkswagen's shares, somehow they found out and used that to launch an attack."
"As we predicted, Volkswagen will compete with us in a buying frenzy, snapping up the limited number of shares available on the market to prevent our takeover!"
"What surprised me was that Volkswagen didn't fight us head-on in the market, but instead went to the regulatory agencies and stabbed us in the back. That was a very clever move!"
"Let's talk about China Investment Corporation (CIC). Their stance is still unclear, but they have made one thing clear: they will not sell their stake in Volkswagen in the short term..."
Next, Wendelin introduced a series of actions taken by the Volkswagen board of directors this afternoon and provided a brief analysis.
As he spoke, Wolfgang's expression grew increasingly grim.
After he finished explaining the situation, the scene fell silent.
After thinking for two or three minutes, Wolfgang finally said in a cold voice:
"Yesterday, the Volkswagen board was acting like cowards, making no retaliatory moves, but today they've suddenly come up with so many clever counterattacks!"
"Without a doubt, something very important is happening today; we just don't know it yet."
"Activate our informants within Volkswagen and have them investigate what exactly happened today. They must find out who advised the Volkswagen board."
"I'd like to find out which bastard is ruining my plans. With fewer and fewer shares available on the market, nobody's going to stop me from acquiring Volkswagen!"
"Once I have complete control over the masses, I'll invite that bastard Ferdinand to dinner and ask him if he ever imagined this day would come when he was sleeping with his cousin's wife..."
"Pfft!"
Wendelin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, reaching out to cover his mouth and stop laughing.
As the current CEO of Porsche, he is certainly very aware of this.
Porsche's hostile takeover of Volkswagen was initially triggered by a scandal involving the Piëch family.
In short, Ferdinand, the current chairman of Volkswagen, secretly had an affair with his cousin's wife, who is none other than Wolfgang's brother!
The Wolfgang brothers considered this a great humiliation and vowed revenge, which led to the dramatic sibling rivalry between Porsche and Volkswagen!
The main reason is that Wolfgang wants to regain control of the Volkswagen Group, which his grandfather founded, rather than letting Ferdinand, his in-law, take power!
Wendelin, who understood the crux of the matter, wisely did not respond to the question!
This is a duel between cousins. As an outsider, he can only obey orders. If he doesn't understand his place, he will be disliked by both sides!
Just then, Wolfgang's personal secretary suddenly knocked on the door and entered the office, holding a cell phone in her hand!
The moment he entered, he immediately whispered:
"Boss, it was Ms. Merkel herself who called. She said she has something very important to discuss with you."
As he spoke, he handed over his phone.
The Ms. Merkel he was referring to is the current Chancellor of Germany, the real power behind German politics, known for her pragmatism and rigor, yet also for her toughness!
Upon hearing that it was this powerful political woman calling, Wolfgang immediately reached out and took the phone, then got up and went to the window to answer it.
The call was finally completed five or six minutes later.
Wolfgang turned back with a sullen, ashen face, then gritted his teeth and said:
"The government has asked us to consider releasing at least 6% to 8% of options liquidity to rescue the short sellers in the market who are on the verge of collective suicide, and to prevent greater financial turmoil."
"Furthermore, the government has made it clear that now is not the right time to acquire Volkswagen. Our refinancing channels are safely closed, and our debt burden will only increase!"
"During the phone call, Merkel said that the Lower Saxony government shared the same stance, and that they would veto the acquisition if we forced it through. What should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Wendelin was stunned.
But deep down, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
