“Yes, here’s to our partnership!” Zhao Wenlong clinked his gla*s with Williams and took a large sip.
Williams drained his gla*s in one gulp.
“Ah, no good, there’s an anomaly!” Just as the two were getting carried away, Li Guangming, who was sitting to the side operating the computer, let out a shriek.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the computer suddenly died and the screen went blank.
……
Tang Huimin had lived in the set of rooms in the Yanjing City Public Security Compound.
Lin Kai sat on the sofa in the living room, leisurely sipping his coffee, while Zhang Shuo sat beside him, staring unblinkingly at a laptop computer sitting on the coffee table.
At this moment, he was like a sniper hiding in a shadowy corner, waiting for his target to appear.
As soon as Tang Huimin heard that Lin Kai was prepared to put up US$300 million to rescue the shares of the Mingyuan Group of Companies, he was taken aback, so he called him aside and asked in a whisper.
“Xiao Kai, where did this US$300 million come from in your account?”
“Song Mingyuan had previously handed me a cheque for US$300 million to thank me for saving his daughter, Song Linna’s life, and I didn’t expect it to come in handy!” Lin Kai simply replied, “That day, I went to deposit money at the Huaxia Bank and it was deposited into my account the day I met the robbers.”
“Oh, so that’s it,” Tang Hui Min said in a daze, “I was a bit puzzled by your appearance at the bank that day and was going to ask you about it,”
“Hehehe!” Lin Kai scratched his head with his hand and asked, “You wouldn’t still be wondering how I had so much money to buy a house in Villa Meru now, would you?”
“Of course,” Tang Huimin shook her head and asked worriedly, “This money of yours, will it be able to save Song Lina’s Mingyuan Group of Companies?”
“It should give no problem,” Lin Kai said with a smile on his face, “Don’t worry, our hacker master Zhang Shuo will be able to help Song Linna out of her predicament.”
Tang Huimin asked eagerly, “Song Linna must be anxious as she sees their company’s stock falling all the way, should we tell her the situation?”
“No,” Lin Kai waved his hand and said, “It’s okay to let this little girl experience a little setback, otherwise, she’ll always think that the chairman is so good.”
“Alright then, listen to everything you say.” Tang Huimin said with a nod, and sat down with Lin Kai next to Zhang Shuo, who was skillfully operating the keyboard.
“Zhang Shuo, how’s it going?” Lin Kai simply couldn’t read those flowery green curves displayed on the screen on the computer, so he asked Zhang Shuo.
“The stock of the Mingyuan Group Company is falling all the way down and will soon stop,” Zhang Shuo said with a smile, “It looks like we’ve met our match.”
“Then what are you going to do?” Lin Kai asked, puzzled.
“Hey,” Zhang Shuo laughed and said with a clear mind, “Of course, before the stock is about to stop, inject money to acquire it and raise the price of the stock, yo.”
“I don’t understand this, just watch what you do,” Lin Kai warned, “But if anything goes wrong, I will test you.”
“Don’t worry, boss!” Zhang Shuo said as he skillfully manipulated the computer.
At this moment, Zhang Shuo had already broken through the firewall of the computer of Zhao Wenlong’s trader, Li Guangming, through hacking techniques, causing the computer virus to invade and cause the computer to crash.
After the injection of funds, the stock curve of the Mingyuan Group of companies, which should have been halted, stabilised on the computer, rising at once from the current 8 yuan to 25 yuan, then vibrating a little, soaring all the way back to the opening price of 1 yuan per share.
At this point, there were only two minutes until the stock was halted.
……
When Li Guangming restarted his computer, the stock had stopped trading and the Mingyuan Group of companies ended up at 5 yuan per share.
Li Guangming stared at the computer with two dull eyes.
“Little Li, what’s happening?” Zhao Wenlong asked eagerly.
Li Guangming slowed down and said with a dejected look on his face, “Boss, I’m sorry, at the last minute, our stock trade failed, we’re afraid we’ve met our match.”
“Ah? Failed?” Zhao Wenlong opened his eyes wide.
“Boss, I’m sorry, I did my best.” Li Guangming said somberly.
“How much did the loss …… cost?” Zhao Wenlong asked.
“I snapped up all of the five hundred million dollars you gave me to operate ……,” Li Guangming said.
“Huh?” After Williams heard the conversation between the two, he instantly became irritated and questioned loudly, “Zhao Wenlong, didn’t you say that everything was foolproof?”
“I didn’t know things would turn out like this either.” Zhao Wenlong said helplessly, “However, please rest a*sured, Mr. Williams, we will definitely reduce the damage to a minimum.”
“How will it be reduced?” Williams questioned.
Zhao Wenlong glanced at Li Guangming, who was sitting on the sofa and had not yet slowed down, with a bewildered look on his face, and said, “Go down first, I have something to talk to Mr. Williams about.”
Li Guangming hurriedly packed up his computer and fled as if to leave.
Seeing that only he and Zhao Wenlong were left in the room, Williams asked in a cold voice, “Tell me, how can we reduce our losses.”
Zhao Wenlong whispered a few words in Williams’ ear before Williams’ heart calmed down a little.
……
Song Lina organised a meeting with the board of directors of the Mingyuan Group of Companies in the conference room, and together with all the board members, watched as the shares of the Mingyuan Group of Companies fell.
However, when the stock was about to stop trading, the shares of the Mingyuan Group of Companies rose all the way up and miraculously came back to life.
“Someone must be secretly helping, who is this person?” Song Lina was finally relieved and somewhat puzzled in her heart, looking at Sun Li, the chairman’s a*sistant, with a bewildered expression, and asked, “What’s going on?”
“I don’t know!” Sun Li said as she shook her head in bewilderment.
“If I knew who was secretly helping us, I would definitely thank him properly!” Song Lina said without emotion.
She simply couldn’t believe that this came entirely from Lin Kai’s hand because, she couldn’t believe that Lin Kai would have such a large sum of money in his hands to unlock the money for himself.
After thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn’t think of anything, so she declared the meeting adjourned.
……
When Williams went to the bank with that forged seal handed to him by Zhao Wenlong, ready to withdraw the 500 million US dollars and 3 billion Chinese Yuan from that joint account they had set up with the Mingyuan Group of Companies, he was told by the staff that the funds had been frozen by the bank and was dumbfounded.
It turned out that when Song Lina could not get in touch with Williams and the company’s stock fell, she knew she had been duped and immediately asked the vice chairman in charge of finance to inform the bank to freeze the funds.
Williams felt that he had failed to steal the chicken and had ended up in a situation where he had lifted a stone and smashed his own feet, but seeing that the situation was over, he had no choice but to take the initiative and call and get in touch with Sungina.
He hoped that they could cancel the cooperation agreement they had signed to jointly develop the mineral resources of Black Dragon Mountain, and that they could unfreeze and withdraw the US$500 million they had injected into the public account as soon as possible.
