Jiangnan Water Village.
In the restaurant, the serene environment was set off by the scattered rockeries and artificial water features.
The sound of flowing water echoed gently in the independent dining spaces shaped like flat boats.
It must be said, it truly had a unique and indescribable charm.
On the dining table.
The Jiangnan-style dishes were exquisite and fragrant.
Zhang Jingshan, who had been holding back for a long time and hadn't seen Ye Chen speak, finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Ye Ge, what kind of financial path are you talking about? How is it related to Sihai Group?"
Ye Chen heard this.
He put down his chopsticks, picked up the lemon water to rinse his mouth, and wiped his mouth with a wet wipe.
Then, he slowly said, "Shorting Sihai Group!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this.
Zhang Jingshan almost spat out a mouthful of water.
Shorting Sihai Group?
Has he gone mad?
Currently, Sihai Group is thriving. Although the increase in Sihai Group's stock has been limited in recent days, its upward momentum is definitely the most stable one in the current stock market.
Going to short Sihai Group at this critical juncture, what is this if not madness?
"Ye Ge, you said shorting Sihai Group? You're not kidding me, are you?"
At this time, Zhang Jingshan had to question Ye Chen's professionalism in stocks.
Because in the current financial market, let alone no one daring to short Sihai Group, there are very few people who are not optimistic about Sihai Group!
Anyone who can say something like shorting Sihai Group is either ignorant or absolutely insane!
"Ye Ge, you might not know, Sihai Group is currently on a booming trend in the Hong Kong stocks market. From an initial market value of over 4 billion when it was listed, it has multiplied several times over the years, reaching over 16 billion, and this year in the stock market, except for those few times when the overall market was hit and the entire stock market environment was sluggish, Sihai Group has always maintained an upward trend. Even during those few bear markets where the overall environment was sluggish, it only fell by an insignificant amount, and it quickly rose back!"
"Ye Ge, in the current environment, shorting Sihai Group is not a wise choice. Most importantly, there is no news released about any signal that this stock will fall!"
Li Changfeng spoke in a relatively gentle manner.
However, this does not mean he would agree with Ye Chen's statement.
He has been playing stocks for more than just a year or two, starting from his college days.
So he considers himself relatively sensitive to the movements in the stock market.
Going to short Sihai Group at this juncture is truly no different from seeking death.
"Ye Ge, you wouldn't misunderstand the term 'shorting', would you? Shorting is borrowing a certain stock from a brokerage, then selling it, and buying it back after the stock price falls to return it, making a profit by selling high and buying low!"
"For example, if the current stock price of Sihai Group is over 40 yuan, we borrow one million shares from the brokerage at a price of over 40 yuan, which is over 40 million yuan. When Sihai Group's stock falls to 20 yuan, we buy back one million shares at a price of 20 yuan and return them to the brokerage, thus realizing the sale of over 40 million and the purchase and return of 20 million, making a profit from the difference in between!"
"But given the current stock market situation, Sihai Group simply won't face a stock price decline. If we short Sihai Group at this time, wouldn't that be throwing money away?"
Zhang Jingshan, whose mind was a bit confused, felt it was necessary to explain the term 'shorting' in the stock market to Ye Chen and hurriedly began to explain.
As for other matters, perhaps he could have unwavering faith in Ye Chen's divine intuition.
But on the matter of shorting Sihai Group, well... he felt it was truly too far-fetched!
"No matter what, I'm someone who started a business as a college graduate. Do you think I wouldn't even understand what shorting is?" Ye Chen smiled helplessly.
However, he understood Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng's reactions.
After all, Sihai Group is really popular in the stock market right now. If he were to say he was going to short Sihai Group, it's estimated that everyone would say he was crazy.
"Then you still...?"
Li Changfeng was completely bewildered.
"No, Ye Ge, do you know some inside information? Do you know something is going to happen to Sihai Group?"
Remembering the matter at Jinlin Mansion before, Zhang Jingshan suddenly exclaimed.
Inside information?
Of course, Ye Chen knew the inside information.
If there are no surprises, after he provided the patrol team with those detailed clues, Maple Leaf Grand Hotel should be raided and uprooted in the next few days.
Following that, Sihai Group, which has intricate connections with Maple Leaf Grand Hotel, will be implicated, and then the Municipal Bureau's Leader will be apprehended. The relationship between Sihai Group and that apprehended Leader will then be exposed to the public eye, leading to overwhelming public opinion and criticism..
If he remembered correctly, in his previous life, Sihai Group fell from over 40 yuan to less than 10 yuan in just a few days, setting an unprecedented record for a steep decline in the stock market for a company in China.
This caused countless retail investors holding Sihai Group stock to lose everything.
Finally, it was only after state-owned enterprises stepped in to take over Sihai Group that the out-of-control situation was slightly stabilized.
However, Ye Chen would absolutely not and dared not say these things.
"Anyway, I've pointed out the path. Whether you believe it or not is up to you!"
After Ye Chen said this meaningfully.
He took out his bank card, "President Zhang, General Manager Li, no, Jingshan, Changfeng, there is nearly 28 million yuan in this card. I'll keep a few hundred thousand, and the remaining 27.5 million, you help me use it to short Sihai Group!"
"Ye Ge, you.."
"Ye Ge, you.."
Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng spoke in unison.
They spoke at the same time, but also stopped at the same time.
Their faces showed unspeakable shock.
Is this for real?
They knew that this over 20 million was definitely Ye Chen's entire fortune.
Using his entire fortune to short a currently popular stock?
"Ye Ge, you're not kidding, are you? Are you sure you're serious?" Zhang Jingshan said, stunned.
"Not kidding, I'm completely serious! If you believe me, seize this opportunity!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"I, I'll think about it again!"
Zhang Jingshan hesitated.
"Ye Ge, if you are sure you want to use this over 20 million to short, I can do it for you! But, are you really not going to think about it carefully again? And observe the market conditions?" Li Changfeng said with a serious expression.
"Consider? Observe? No need, I'm afraid if we miss this village, there won't be this shop again!" Ye Chen chuckled.
These words made Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng's hearts itch again.
Is he really so sure that Sihai Group will face a crisis?
This dinner concluded with Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng's complete bewilderment.
However, even after seeing Ye Chen back to the intersection of Dongpu Main Street.
Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng had not come out of Ye Chen's confident and self-assured demeanor.
"Jingshan, what are you thinking? What do you think of Ye Chen's move?"
In the Land Rover, Li Changfeng asked.
"Hoo!!!"
Zhang Jingshan exhaled a long breath.
Then, as if he had made a decision.
He asked.
"Changfeng, let me ask you a question, if you were Ye Chen, under what circumstances would you put your entire fortune on shorting a popular stock?"
"There are no absolutes in the stock market, I wouldn't do something like this!" Li Changfeng blurted out.
"Exactly! This shows that Ye Chen's certainty is not just 100%! Think about it, what does over 20 million mean to his family and current situation, but since he dares to go all in and gamble, what kind of certainty must this be?" Zhang Jingshan said.
"Jingshan, you're not trying to tell me that you're going to go all out too, are you?" Li Changfeng was stunned.
"He's too strange, so strange that he's almost divine! I also think he's crazy, but there seems to be a voice in my heart telling me to go crazy with him! Also, if it weren't for him, I probably would have suffered a big loss in the stone gambling market today, so I'll go with him, I'll give you 20 million, and you also help use it to short Sihai Group!" Zhang Jingshan said with a trembling face.
"You, you, you are all crazy, this is really!" Li Changfeng said with a dry throat, swallowing.
"What about you? Not planning to go in?" Zhang Jingshan asked with a playful smile.
"I.."
Li Changfeng rubbed his chin.
He, who considered himself rational and logical, looked at the scenery outside the window.
He said something that broke his own rationality.
"I'll go with 10 million!"
