Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

Upon hearing this, Lin Shaoyang immediately wanted to flip the table and leave; the veins on his forehead were bulging.

Isn't this just a joke?!

"Hey hey hey~ Old Lin!"

"How can someone so old still be so easily teased?"

"I haven't finished speaking yet. Being so rash, no wonder you lost so much money yesterday."

It was intentional, this guy did it on purpose, what kind of twisted sense of humor does he have?

Isn't rubbing salt into your wound once enough? What's the point of repeatedly stabbing it with a knife?

It seems Lin Shaoyang is about to start looking for a suitable tool.

Lu Yuan quickly shut his mouth.

"Hey, hey, I'm not going to talk about that anymore. Let's talk about revenge."

"Honestly, I'm putting you under stress, but it's for your own good."

Lin Shaoyang didn't speak, just silently watched Lu Yuan.

"Pershing Square is not an ordinary short-selling company. They are extremely patient and can keep an eye on a project for 10 years or more without any problem."

"The goal is to crush their opponents, so they rarely make mistakes."

"If we use ordinary methods to deal with short selling, whether we use ourselves as bait or try to compete with other companies, we are currently far from being competitive."

Seeing the dim look in Lin Shaoyang's eyes, Lu Yuan knew that he had misunderstood again.

"This doesn't mean you have to accept the loss; it means we didn't even get a chance to sit at the table."

So that's why.

"Since we can't touch the big fish, let's deal with this little shrimp first."

Do you have their information?

Lin Shaoyang nodded, took out a piece of paper, and wrote down two names.

"Blue Flag Fund, although their team has 12 people, the main ones are these two Americans."

"Andrew Zoe and Carson Block"

"Andrew is a professional short seller who is responsible for issuing investigation reports."

"Carson is an American lawyer specializing in investigations in China, primarily responsible for research and evidence collection."

Lu Yuan found the name familiar; if the name were different, he would definitely remember it immediately.

Citron and muddy water.

Two very well-known companies that like to short sell investments in China, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia.

In 20, the two companies once again joined forces to short Gaotu Follower.

It doesn't matter if you can't remember right now. As long as you cast the net properly, you can still teach this little shrimp a lesson.

Lin Shaoyang looked at Lu Yuan expectantly.

"What are your plans?"

Lu Yuan nodded confidently.

"Of course, we need to get their attention first."

"You mean, lure them into shorting our stock, then drive up the price and wipe them out?"

"Theoretically it's possible, but it's simply impossible without three to five years of preparation."

Lu Yuan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"How narrow-minded! Why do they always think about using themselves as bait? Even if they do use themselves as bait, it's all for the big crocodile behind them."

"As for this little shrimp, it's not worth all that trouble."

"That?"

"Do you know the saying? It's called 'rivals in the same trade.'"

"How so?"

"Because everyone has to fight for food from the same bowl."

"Ninety-nine percent of companies in this world don't have the ability to make the cake, they only have the ability to divide the cake. If you take a bigger bite, I'll have to take a smaller bite."

"This is something I learned firsthand when I was in the coal business."

"If this cake wasn't big to begin with, now there's another company to share it with, and they've successfully taken a slice."

"Do you think we might attract the attention of those people?"

Lin Shaoyang felt he was starting to get a clue, but when he tried to grasp it more closely, it seemed like he couldn't quite get a hold of it.

"You mean, we should also do an airdrop?"

"Shorting is possible, but it's very likely to attract resentment."

Lin Shaoyang is telling the truth. After all, a successful short sale can unexpectedly cause losses for many people, just like Lin Shaoyang did yesterday.

He was shot for no reason and ended up losing most of his wealth.

"Don't worry, our main business is buying when prices are rising; buying when prices are falling is something we do only occasionally."

"After all, we need to accumulate initial capital quickly, and short selling is indeed faster than buying."

"If you really care about your reputation, you can just send out an agent."

Lin Shaoyang was still somewhat worried.

"Outsiders may not know, but those in the industry can't possibly fail to find out."

"It's alright, just push me to the front when necessary."

"I left Hong Kong with the blame on my shoulders, then changed a spokesperson and announced that the fund would change its strategy, mainly focusing on buying on the rise."

"Anyway, I won't be staying in Hong Kong for long, and people will eventually forget about it."

Lin Shaoyang pondered for a moment and felt that there was some room for maneuver in this matter.

"That's feasible. What's next?"

"After that, we need to complete one or two more precise sniping operations to truly establish our reputation."

"We need to make those people realize that once they're on our radar, they'll start trembling with fear."

"If we had directly selected BlueFocus Fund's original target in these two instances..."

Lu Yuan paused here, took a sip of tea, and gave Lin Shaoyang time to think.

Yes, if we select their original target, we can launch an attack and reap the rewards in advance.

That could significantly undermine the effectiveness of the investigation that the other party conducted over several years.

This is tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth; regardless of the final outcome, it is indeed a form of revenge.

However, after this back and forth, the feud was completely formed.

"Even if I'm not selected, it's okay."

"Next, we'll investigate who exactly BlueFocus is investigating."

"This is much more convenient than directly investigating the problems of those listed companies."

"My neighbor hoards food, I hoard guns; my neighbor is my granary."

"This is a win-win situation."

Lin Shaoyang was stunned.

"Win-win? Where's the win-win?"

"Look, we made money, this is a win."

"At the same time, it dealt a blow to our opponents, making their initial investments benefit us. This is a double win."

"Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Lin Shaoyang was shocked by Lu Yuan's advanced understanding of winning.

Oh, so your "win-win" means you won twice? I'm impressed.

"After this smooth little combo, the opponent will be either dead or severely injured."

"Most importantly, if they suffer consecutive defeats, it will likely displease their financial backers."

"When the time comes, they should be dismissed from get out of class, or pack their bags and leave."

"That's what revenge is all about."

"So, are you in or not?"

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, both of them fell silent, and Lu Yuan leisurely drank his tea.

Hmm, this tea doesn't have much flavor anymore.

Lin Shaoyang was making his final considerations.

What Lu Yuan said seemed simple, but in practice, every step required great precision.

If you have enough time and follow this plan, it's not impossible to succeed.

But Lu Yuan added a timed difficulty level himself.

Such precise operation in such a short time.

Under such high pressure, is it really possible for anyone not to make mistakes?

Lin Shaoyang looked at Lu Yuan again.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything, still wearing that confident smile.
