Chapter 373: Chapter 336: Brother Ling Is a Man with a Celestial God’s Perspective
After all, Ning International was undoubtedly a better starting point than Celestial Dragon Investment Company and would have been beneficial for Chen Lin’s development.
But the immense power Ye Ling had demonstrated made Chen Lin wonder if, perhaps, he could go further by following Ye Ling.
Therefore,
Between Ning International and Ye Ling, he chose Ye Ling!
...
「Meanwhile, on the US Stock Market.」
The Fruit Group’s stock was instantly plunged into a strange silence after being slammed by Ye Ling’s short sell order. Investors everywhere stopped what they were doing, trying to figure out what had just happened.
This time, Celestial Dragon Investment Company made no attempt at concealment. Thus, everyone quickly learned that Celestial Dragon Investment Company was the one making a move!
’Celestial Dragon Investment Company? Is that the same investment group that targeted Fruit Group before?’
’Holy shit! This Celestial Dragon Investment Company has a lot of nerve. Don’t they know how many people they pissed off last time?’
’Uh, so, can I ask, what exactly did this Celestial Dragon Investment Company do back then?’
’I’ve seen this kind of thing a lot. All I can say is, those who know, know. For those who don’t, I won’t explain much. In short, this runs deep, and a lot of people are involved...’
’Is the guy above some kind of Quora expert?’
’For some context: previously, Celestial Dragon Investment Company engineered an attack against Fruit Group, causing its stock price to suffer an unprecedented three-day losing streak—a complete nosedive.’
’Right! And one more thing: last time, Fruit Group was backed by a lot of big shots, like the Dupont Consortium, Guge Company, and a whole slew of major Western capitalists, but Celestial Dragon Investment Company still won. Do you get it now? This Celestial Dragon Investment Company is seriously badass!’
...
The entire internet was buzzing about Celestial Dragon Investment Company. In an instant, the company had become an incredibly mysterious and powerful entity.
To be able to pull off an attack of this magnitude against Fruit Group, and screw over a wave of Western financial consortiums in the process... that level of power was just too terrifying!
...
「DuPont Conglomerate Building.」
In one of the offices, Colonna was scrolling through the comments online.
Right now, everyone on the internet was singing the praises of Celestial Dragon Investment Company.
As for the Dupont Consortium...
They were in a truly pitiful state online; almost everyone was taking a jab or two at the Dupont Consortium!
They were one of the ten great consortiums, yet they’d been reduced to such a state by a single financial investment firm?
The Dupont Consortium and Fruit Group had undoubtedly become the laughingstock of the entire internet!
"Damned people from Xia Country!"
Colonna couldn’t help but let out a cold snort, his eyes filled with rage.
He already considered the last incident a humiliation, and these comments only fanned the flames of that shame, making him desperate to reclaim his reputation.
"Buy up all of Celestial Dragon Investment Company’s short orders."
Colonna immediately gave the order, his eyes filled with a chilling light. "This time, a power has entered the fray that even we at the Dupont Consortium must look up to. Celestial Dragon Investment Company, this time, you will get what’s coming to you!"
If Ye Ling had heard him, he would have surely been curious.
According to Colonna, there was a participant in this affair so powerful that even the Dupont Consortium had to look up to them...
The Dupont Consortium had always ranked among the top ten Western financial powers. For them to have to look up to someone meant that this so-called "presence" was truly formidable!
Around one o’clock in the afternoon, under the watchful eyes of countless people, the Dupont Consortium finally made its move.
The short sell order placed by Celestial Dragon Investment Company was priced at 110 US dollars. This was one dollar lower than the current price, which had forced Fruit Group’s stock down.
The Dupont Consortium immediately snapped up the entire short order, posturing for a head-to-head showdown with Celestial Dragon Investment Company!
"So, they’ve finally made their move?" Ye Ling murmured, watching the market dynamics as a smirk played on his lips.
"Looks like the fish has taken the bait," Chen Lin chuckled.
"Proceed." Ye Ling shrugged, a faint smile on his lips.
It was as if everything was going according to his plan!
"Yes."
Chen Lin acknowledged the order and immediately got to work.
The capital Ye Ling had brought into the market this time exceeded 23.5 billion, equivalent to roughly 3.3 billion US dollars. At a price of 109 US dollars per share, this translated to a short position of roughly 30 million shares.
A short order of this magnitude had a major impact, even on a company the size of Fruit Group.
The stock price, which had been at 109, instantly plummeted to 105. A long, red line on the charts sent shivers down the spine of every investor.
This was truly a battle of titans!
Whether it was Celestial Dragon Investment Company, which had recently made its mark, or the long-established Dupont Consortium, both were major players!
"Sir, should we make another move?" an assistant asked Colonna.
Although the Dupont Consortium was one of the ten great consortiums, their available liquid capital was actually limited; most of their wealth was tied up in fixed assets.
A short order worth a full 3.3 billion US dollars... even for the Dupont Consortium, absorbing that would be a strain.
"Of course."
Colonna said, brimming with confidence:
"This must be all the capital that Celestial Dragon Investment Company can mobilize. If we keep buying now, we can continue to drive up Fruit Group’s stock price and shatter their plan!"
