Taoist Master, wishing for a sacrifice-based system

Chapter 48 Forced Breakup and Delisting! The CEO's Pursuit of Monopoly Ends Up Landing Him Behind Bars!

three days later.

The first anomaly has occurred.

The stock price of PanShi Group has fallen.

It's not a crash.

It is a very subtle, continuous decline.

It drops by 1% to 2% every day.

superficial.

But it fell for three consecutive days.

Shen Che's CFO sent a message in the internal group: "Some institutions are continuously reducing their holdings. The amount is not large, but it is very stable. It seems like they are selling off in batches."

Shen Che glanced at it.

No reply.

He doesn't care about short-term stock price fluctuations.

What he cares about is that the 48-hour period has expired.

Galaxy Technology did not sign.

Shen Che dialed the phone.

"Didn't sign it?"

"It wasn't signed. Lin Qiming said he needs to think about it some more."

"Consider?" Shen Che repeated the word.

There was no anger in his tone.

There was only a barely perceptible chill.

"OK."

"Then don't even think about it."

"Activate Plan B."

He hung up the phone.

I picked up the coffee on the table.

I took a sip.

lay down.

Everything is under control.

At least that's what he thinks.

Four more days passed.

That is, the seventh day after Shen Che made his wish at Qingyun Temple.

It was exactly 3 p.m.

The headquarters of Panshi Group is on the 47th floor.

Shen Che's private office.

A series of urgent knocks broke the afternoon's tranquility.

Shen Che frowned.

-

His office has a strict "do not disturb" rule.

Anyone who knocks on his door at 3 PM must be incredibly lucky.

Either the sky has truly fallen.

"Enter."

The door opened.

The person who entered was Zhou Ming, the group's chief legal officer.

Zhou Ming's face was pale.

It's not pale.

It was a whiteness like a sheet of paper, devoid of its blood.

He was holding a document in his hand.

"President Shen."

The voice was trembling.

"The Anti-Monopoly Bureau has issued a formal investigation letter."

Shen Che stopped.

The hand holding the coffee cup froze in mid-air.

"When did this happen?"

"One hour ago."

"Scope of the investigation?"

Zhou Ming swallowed hard.

"all."

Market monopoly, exclusive agreements, malicious pricing, and suppression of suppliers—

'

"as well as"

His voice lowered even further.

So low it was as if they dared not utter those words.

"Data security review".

"The security department has also gotten involved."

Shen Che's pupils contracted slightly.

This was the only change in his expression after hearing the news.

Only this once.

But Zhou Ming noticed it.

Because in his eight years of following Shen Che, he had never seen Shen Che's pupils contract.

there has never been.

"Who reported it?"

"anonymous."

"What about the materials?"

"I don't know. But judging from the wording and scope of the investigation letter—it seems to be something the other party has."

Zhou Ming's Adam's apple bobbed.

"Very comprehensive."

Shen Che remained silent for ten seconds.

Then he placed the coffee cup on the table.

"Bang."

The voice was a little louder than usual.

That's it.

Call a legal team.

"6

"Meeting."

"Now."

What happened next.

It has developed faster than anyone expected.

How fast?

It happened so fast that Shen Che himself didn't even have time to react.

Nine days after making the wish.

.

PanShi Group's stock is suspended from trading.

Reason: To cooperate with the regulatory authorities' investigation, a temporary suspension of trading has been requested.

This word "temporary" was repeatedly used by countless financial journalists over the years.

Because it became a joke.

A "permanent temporary suspension".

The twelfth day after making the wish.

The security department intervened.

It's not at the level of cooperating with an investigation.

It's at the level of directly moving into the headquarters of the Panshi Group.

Shen Che's private office on the 47th floor was sealed off.

He was invited to an ordinary conference room on the 36th floor to "cooperate with the work".

Please.

It is "please".

But Shen Che knew what this "please" meant.

Just like when Jueyuan was "invited" for tea.

However, Jueyuan was facing Zhao Gang, who was at the district level.

Shen Che, on the other hand, was facing people from the capital.

The levels are completely different.

Fifteen days after making the wish.

The first batch of investigation results are in.

It was not made public.

But the news spread like wildfire in the financial world.

Because it's too explosive.

It was so shocking that even the most composed fund managers couldn't sit still.

Those institutions that reduced their holdings of Panshi stock had already begun selling off their shares before the investigation letter was issued.

Someone knew the news in advance.

Those who knew the news in advance ran faster than anyone else.

Eighteen days after making the wish.

An official announcement was released.

Three hundred and seventeen characters.

Each word is like a hammer.

The core content consists of only three points—

First: An investigation revealed that over the past decade, Panshi Group systematically excluded and restricted market competition through malicious pricing, exclusive agreements, bundled sales, and suppression of upstream and downstream suppliers, violating several clauses.

Second: An investigation revealed that PanShi Group had committed serious data security violations.

The third and most fatal point.

"Given the severity and systemic nature of the aforementioned illegal activities, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, Panshi Group is ordered to undergo a forced restructuring."

Forced splitting.

Four words.

The last time these four characters appeared in a public document in the history of Chinese commerce was a very, very long time ago.

It's been so long that most business school textbooks only mention it briefly.

Because in everyone's mind, these four words only exist in some corner of a textbook.

It will not appear in reality.

But it happened.

In a way that no one expected.

Appeared.

Within 24 hours of the announcement being issued.

The stock of Panshi Group went directly from suspension to mandatory delisting.

Trading has not resumed.

There is no buffer period.

There is no transitional plan to "give investors an explanation".

-

Refund immediately.

Clean and neat.

Just as cleanly and efficiently as when Shen Che swallowed up those forty-plus companies.

The market gave him the treatment he was most familiar with, leaving no survivors.

the same day.

The travel records of all senior executives of PanShi Group have been frozen.

All of Shen Che's bank accounts have been frozen.

All of his assets, including three helicopters, seven luxury cars, four properties, and the Maybach S680 he used on his way to Qingyun Temple, were seized.

Even the silver metal box containing twenty gold bars was included in the list of assets to be liquidated.

Twenty-five days after making the wish.

An even bigger hammer came down.

It's not the Anti-Monopoly Bureau's hammer.

It's a criminal offense.

Shen Che and eleven core executives of Panshi Group have been formally placed under investigation.

Suspected of monopolistic practices, commercial bribery, infringement of trade secrets, and illegal acquisition of computer information system data.

Multiple offenses will be punished concurrently.

The day Shen Che was taken away.

There were no handcuffs.

There were no police cars.

There was only one ordinary black minivan.

And two people in casual clothes.

Very low-key.

He kept such a low profile that even the employees outside his 47th-floor office had no idea what had happened.

But Shen Che knew.

He sat in the back of the van.

Outside the car window are the skyscrapers of Beijing's financial district.

He once stood on the top floor of these buildings, overlooking the entire city.

He is now sitting in the back seat of a car.

They drove in another direction.
