1093: Chapter 1093: Let’s all get rich together 1093: Chapter 1093: Let’s all get rich together Recently, with the establishnt of X Fund, they have been aggressively purchasing company stocks related to this city, resulting in a significant rise in the prices of these stocks.
Because Boss Lei had shared so insider information, Boss Ding was prepared and had also purchased many stocks.
Watching the stock prices rise continuously, he was calculating how much money he had made.
Gu Fan was also paying attention to the actions of X Fund and couldn’t help but admire their financial strength and substantial resources.
When Du Jun saw Gu Fan’s worried expression, he ca over and asked, “What’s wrong?
You seem very anxious.”
“The rise is too fierce; it feels abnormal.” Gu Fan’s worry wasn’t unfounded.
Without strong market demand, there’s no stable profitability, and a steep rise in company stock prices inevitably leads to a steep decline.
Du Jun reassured Gu Fan not to worry: “The information provided by Boss Lei can’t be wrong.
If the situation changes, they will surely inform us when to pull out.”
“I hope so,” Gu Fan remained uneasy, always feeling that if Boss Lei was also being manipulated, wouldn’t that be…
At that mont, Gu Fan went online and saw an article written by Li Shi about the X Fund’s stock purchases.
It generally suggested that X Fund was bullish on the current market and saw great potential in these companies.
“Really that promising?” Gu Fan was puzzled.
He felt like he should believe what Li Shi had written, but sothing seed off.
Boss Ding also saw Li Shi’s article and imdiately discussed it with Gu Fan, suggesting they invite Li Shi over to share her views on X Fund.
Besides, since Li Shi was a minor shareholder of the company, it would make sense for her to co and take a look.
Gu Fan found Boss Ding’s request a bit troubleso, feeling that aside from seeking advice, Boss Ding might have other, less than transparent, reasons for inviting Li Shi.
So Gu Fan posed a question, “Boss Ding, I’ve never seen the lady boss.
Why hasn’t she ever co by?”
“The business was in such a state before; I divorced her a long ti ago.” Boss Ding seed filled with emotions and added, “I’ve co to understand that when choosing a wife, it’s best to find soone who can help you in business.
That way, even if you find yourself in a loss, she’ll stay by your side to figure things out and strive together, at least she won’t leave you.”
Hearing this, Gu Fan squinted at Boss Ding, “So, you think Li Shi can help you in business?”
Boss Ding was quick to clarify, “What are you saying?
I’m old enough to be Li Shi’s father.
I’ve lost all interest in won now.
My actions are all for your sake.”
“Really?” Gu Fan seriously doubted Boss Ding’s motives, but since Boss Ding was the boss, he still submitted to the request.
Shortly after, Li Shi arrived as promised, and Boss Ding went up to greet her with great enthusiasm.
He insisted on shaking hands and lavished her with praise.
“This guy?
Is his despicable heart still not dead?” Sotis Gu Fan really admired how Boss Ding, a man in his fifties, relentlessly pursued the idea of a woman in her twenties.
Boss Ding took Li Shi to the office, and Gu Fan, worried, insisted on following.
Boss Ding ended up sending Gu Fan out, even asking him to pour tea.
This made Gu Fan anxious.
Since he was the one who had invited her, he felt responsible if she fell prey to Boss Ding.
So Gu Fan quickly made the tea and hurriedly brought it to Boss Ding’s office.
“Thank you!” Li Shi took the tea, responding with a polite smile.
Boss Ding’s expression turned strange, “Gu Fan, you’ve been too eager this ti, bringing the tea so quickly.”
Gu Fan could only explain, “I can’t help it; I’ve beco much more diligent recently.”
“Alright, thanks for the tea.
I have serious matters to discuss with Miss Li, you can go back to your work,” Boss Ding started shooing him away, but Gu Fan, with a thick face, insisted on not leaving, “No, no, no, I’m most concerned about the serious matters Boss Ding and Miss Li are discussing, especially the recent reports Miss Li wrote about X Fund.”
Li Shi’s eyes lit up, “So you’re also paying close attention to X Fund.”
“Of course, being one of the top funds in the world, coming to our city, how could it not draw industry attention?” Gu Fan expressed keen interest, still with a humble deanor.
Li Shi smiled slightly, “That’s right, X Fund made such a bold entrance, purchasing stocks of several companies in this city, and very conspicuously at that.
It’s unconventional.”
Boss Ding was puzzled, “But in your article, you wrote that X Fund is very optimistic about the developnt prospects of these companies, which is why they bought in heavily.”
Li Shi’s face showed an expression of difficulty, as if she was hiding sothing, and Gu Fan guessed the unsaid trouble, “Were you under pressure when you wrote that article.”
“Yes, now X Fund is a major shareholder of my company, what else could I write?” Li Shi said, her face showing helplessness.
However, she was then surprised, not expecting Gu Fan to have guessed correctly.
“Could it be that X Fund’s high-profile behavior is just creating buzz?” Gu Fan pondered, stroking his chin.
It was then that Boss Ding received a call from Boss Lei, and his face imdiately changed color before he began to sell off stocks rapidly.
Sure enough, all the stocks held by X Fund began plumting, and the decline was quite substantial.
It looked as if many would be trapped by their investnts.
Gu Fan realized, “So that’s how it is.
To inflate stock prices, a very useful piece of positive news is the big entry of X Fund.
This leads many to follow suit, naturally driving up the stock prices until it’s ti to sell off and make a profit.”
Although the company also made a profit, Gu Fan felt sowhat displeased, feeling as if the people of this city had been toyed with by X Fund.
Li Shi also received a ssage and glanced at it, furrowing her brow.
Gu Fan asked, “What’s wrong, work-related?”
Li Shi nodded, “My company wants to go back and write an article about the reasons behind the massive crash of X Fund’s held company stocks.”
Gu Fan showed a hint of disdain, “Don’t bother thinking about it, they’re sure to have you write sothing positive, like how everyone rushed to follow the investnt, causing irrational stock price increases, and now this crash is just a return to a reasonable valuation.
X Fund still remains optimistic about these companies.”
After hearing this, Li Shi’s eyes brightened, Gu Fan’s words striking a chord with her own thoughts, prompting her to regard Gu Fan with newfound respect.
Later, Du Jun arrived, and the company’s shareholders ended up sitting in the office discussing what to do next, especially whether to continue following X Fund, leading to so disagreent.
Gu Fan felt it was best to be cautious and to pull out after making enough profit, but Boss Ding and Du Jun thought Gu Fan’s attitude was too cautious and not conducive to achieving great things.
Although Li Shi remained silent, her eyes betrayed support for Boss Ding, aning three against one, and Gu Fan was outvoted.
