""The richest man in Xia State is shorting Xia Enterprises. Is it a distortion of morality or a loss of human nature?"

""What is the intention of Xia's richest man to short the country's high-tech companies?"

""The richest man smashed the market, and the scumbag lost his fortune. Is it because of personal vendetta, or is it just profit-seeking?"

In February 1999, Zhalang received US$25 million in overseas venture capital investment from Goldman Sachs, which was the largest investment ever received by a domestic Internet company at the time.

This was a big event that caused a sensation at the time.

Zhalang is listed on Nasdaq and is also the first information-related Internet company from mainland China to be listed in the United States, which naturally attracts attention.

Now, Zhalang, which had just been listed, did not make waves in the international capital market as everyone expected. Instead, it broke the stock price within a few days of its listing. Its performance surprised many people.

The most important thing is that the person who caused Zhalang's stock price to break was actually Lu Yiming, the youngest richest man in the history of Xia Mainland.

The grievances and hatreds involved, if you find a writer, you can probably write a novel based on this outline.

Therefore, when the news spread that Zhalang's share price was shorted by Lu Yiming's Saltwater Fund, causing the stock price to break immediately after listing, various news media adopted the mentality of "just watching the excitement is not too big a deal" and started making crazy headlines. According to the gossip

News and fictional imagination, and compiled a variety of eye-catching "news" content.

In all reports, the role played by Lu Yiming is almost always the negative role of the devil.

After all, Zhalang is the first Internet information company in mainland China to be listed on the U.S. stock market, and it represents a certain kind of "face." In this case, people across the country should unite and join forces to make Zhalang prosper and prosper.

It can enhance the prestige of our country.

As a result, it was broken when it went public, and it was a slap in the face - Xia Guo's Internet was so vulnerable?

Not to mention those Internet-related start-up companies that dream of going public in the United States, even ordinary people have some criticisms of Lu Yiming's behavior and find it difficult to accept it.

When the media saw that this matter was very topical, they were even more happy to see it happen. They frantically guided the report, thinking how to make the matter bigger and make it more exciting.

Unsurprisingly, Lu Yiming's image and reputation plummeted in an instant.

Among them, the push of many Internet practitioners also played a big role.

After all, if Zhalang succeeds, it will have a positive effect on the entire Xia Kingdom's Internet industry.

But now it was smashed by Lu Yiming himself, which was equivalent to smashing everyone's rice bowl, and the feud became fierce.

According to some reports, Lu Yiming has become the "traitor" who "hinders the development of Xia's Internet industry and high-tech industry".

The words and writings were criticized one after another, and the accusations of crimes were endless.

For a time, Lu Yiming was at the forefront of public opinion again.

Li Yiwen, who had personally witnessed the whole process of Lu Yiming's short selling against Zha Lang, saw that the newspapers were full of people criticizing Lu Yiming, and couldn't help but said: "Look, I told you, but you don't believe it. I didn't make any money from shorting Zha Lang.

How much is it, and it still makes you look sexy, what are you trying to do?"

Lu Yiming looked at the various shady and wanton smear reports in the newspapers, and didn't take it seriously. He said with a smile: "Why don't I steam the steamed buns to gain some reputation? He dares to slander me in the media. If I don't give him some color, I'm afraid he won't

You take me, the richest man, seriously."

Lu Yiming thinks that he is not a person who likes revenge overnight, because he usually wants to avenge himself on the spot.

In addition, he has been unhappy with Zhalang for more than a day or two. Now that he has the opportunity to add insult to injury, how can he be polite?

Before I was reborn, I often got high blood pressure while browsing Weibo, but I couldn't do anything about Zha Lang. Now that I can torment Zha Lang at will, why don't I have to ruthlessly ravage Zha Lang again?

However, Lu Yiming has been with Lu Yiming for so long, and Li Yiwen knows Lu Yiming's temper best, so he naturally doesn't believe this nonsense, and immediately said: "Let me tell you everything, you are the only one who can't afford to be early.

A stone has a character that wants to be squeezed out, I don't believe you are just trying to vent your bad breath."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "This bad temper is bound to come out. By the way, I want to kick Wang Zhidong out, and then prepare to acquire Zhalang."

Li Yiwen was shocked: "What the hell? Acquisition of Zhalang? Didn't you say that the portal has no future? Do you want such garbage?"

Lu Yiming said calmly: "The company is rubbish, but the people inside are not. And for now, Zhalang is still worth some money. It will be no problem to dismantle it and sell it to make some pocket money."

"Okay, as long as you have an idea."

Li Yiwen was already numb to Lu Yiming, who was causing trouble everywhere. He had just returned from the United States a few days ago, and he started to fight with others again. He really didn't stop for a moment.

Lu Yiming read all the news.

Although the sources were varied, he was very sure that many of them must have been created by Zha Lang.

Lu Yiming thought he understood Zhalang's urinary properties.

After reading all the news, Lu Yiming also began to plan how to fight back.

Wang Zhidong is very good at publicity. Now he has put himself in the position of a vulnerable group to gain sympathy and completely point the finger of public opinion at Lu Yiming.

Various news outlets are competing to report on it every day. Under the overwhelming public support, Lu Yiming is about to become the heinous devil in their mouths.

So when Chen Li, the beautiful host of Shanghai Financial Channel, called and said she wanted to do a special interview with him, Lu Yiming immediately agreed.

When the day was scheduled to be filmed, Lu Yiming arrived at the TV station early. He didn’t like to wait for a date, and he also didn’t like to be waited for too long. Just like every time he takes a high-speed train, he would show up at the station at least an hour early. Lu Yiming

I also came to the TV station a long time in advance.

Increase fault tolerance.

This is a good habit that Lu Yiming has always maintained.

When Lu Yiming appeared in the TV station building, the staff who saw him had strange expressions on their faces. They didn't know why Lu Yiming suddenly came to the TV station.

It wasn't until Lu Yiming walked far away that these people started talking in twos and threes.

"Why did Lu Yiming come to our TV station?"

"I don't know. Zhalang suffered malicious short selling, and now everyone says it was Lu Yiming who did it. Is this guy going to come to us to advertise and clarify?"

"It's not the advertising department over there. Let me tell you, Lu Yiming is most likely to take the blame. Think about it, Lu Yiming came back in March, and Zhalang went public in April and was shorted. Lu Yiming can also be blamed for this.

On the head? Now who doesn’t know that the US stock market is shorted? Isn’t it just out of mind that I went public at this point?”

"That's right. Besides, it's obviously Wang Zhidong who has a bad mouth and talks about Lu Yiming. It's purely his own fault. Tell me, I wish it was Lu Yiming who did it and teach this guy a lesson."

"What you said makes Xiaojiazi angry, isn't it? It was just a little squabble, but Lu Yiming took action against the country's Internet companies. It is a bit too domineering and does not care about the overall situation."

"That's right, you are too petty and you are still the richest man."

"Others just get high orally, but he won't lose a piece of meat."

"He only got scolded a few times, but many people lost their jobs, even went bankrupt and jumped off the building."

I have to say that there are quite a few people who feel that what Lu Yiming did is unfair.

After all, the Internet bubble is bursting and the economic crisis is coming. Finally, an Internet company from Xia Guo bucked the trend and gave everyone a little hope. But in the end, you, Lu Yiming, pushed Zha Lang’s head under the water with your backhand. This is too much.

.

The argument "I am weak and I am justified" has always been popular in Xia State. Putting aside the facts, you just got scolded a few times and actually fought back? It is really too much.

Of course, Lu Yiming didn't know about these discussions. He was familiar with the route and quickly arrived at Chen Li's office.

Chen Li also didn't expect Lu Yiming to come so early, and the instant noodles he had just eaten suddenly seemed much more present.

"Ah, Mr. Lu, you are here."

Lu Yiming said casually: "Eat less instant noodles and more fresh and healthy vegetables. The teacher has said that the body is the capital of revolution."

Chen Li said with some embarrassment: "Isn't this laziness?"

She stood up and walked around the work station and said, "Mr. Lu, how about I take you to put on makeup first?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "You'd better finish it first. This thing won't taste even better when it's cold. To be honest, even if you are lazy, you should try the delicious fast food, if it can be delivered here."

After a few minutes, Chen Li finished eating the instant noodles. She didn't know whether it was because she was embarrassed to be caught eating instant noodles by Lu Yiming, or because the instant noodles tasted too exciting, but anyway, her face was red and there was a slight sweat on her forehead.

"Mr. Lu, let's go. I'll take you to put on makeup first, and then review the script a little bit."

"OK."

Half an hour later, the talk show officially started.

In the studio, everyone took their places. After Chen Li finished speaking, she looked at Lu Yiming and asked: "Mr. Lu, it is being spread outside that you are targeting a domestic Internet company like Zha Lang out of selfish anger. So.

As for many people thinking that you don’t care about the overall situation, I wonder what you think about this matter?”

Lu Yiming rebutted point by point very calmly: "The first thing I want to say is, first, it is Saltwater Fund that is shorting Zhalang, not me, so don't talk nonsense. This is slander and slander against me."

Chen Li was surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Isn't Saltwater Fund a company under your name, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Yiming immediately denied it: "Who said that? I just invested in Saltwater Fund and own shares of this company. I am not even the largest shareholder. How can I say that this company belongs to me? It's nonsense!"

Of course these words are true. Lu Yiming only owns less than 8% of the shares of Salt Water Fund. Among all shareholders, he barely ranks in the top three, and there is no control at all.

But to control a company, you don't necessarily have to hold a controlling stake.

What is the core asset of Saltwater Fund Company?

It was Lu Yiming who attracted investors with terrifying backgrounds, and the huge amounts of funds they invested. All of this money was at Lu Yiming's disposal, so he could control the entire saltwater fund without holding a controlling stake.

However, such truth cannot be disclosed to the public. Instead, Lu Yiming must immediately distance himself from the relationship with Salt Water Fund to avoid becoming the target of public criticism.

Later, Lu Yiming continued: "As for the second point, I have doubts about Zhalang being a Xiaguo company. After all, most of the company's equity is in the hands of foreign capital, and the founder

People's opinions are also very biased, so I doubt whether their stance is on our Xia Kingdom's side."
