I'm back in 1990

Chapter 340: Ding 1 Asks for Help

Over the next few days, Huang Xiaochuan and his team held multiple consultations with Goldman Sachs and several founders.

Given that the odds of victory were in Huang Xiaochuan's hands, Goldman Sachs wisely chose to back down and no longer raise those unreasonable demands they had previously made.

Huang Xiaochuan also wisely took the opportunity to withdraw his investment, bringing in other different investment companies to invest alongside Goldman Sachs and dilute the shares. On the surface, this reduced Hong Kong Changhong's shareholding, which could be seen as giving Goldman Sachs face.

However, both parties knew that these shares were still in Huang Xiaochuan's hands, but they had been broken down and distributed among multiple investment companies.

With Huang Xiaochuan's support, Zhang Gaolei's shares were not diluted in this round. Huang Xiaochuan lent Zhang Gaolei a sum of money, which Zhang Gaolei can repay with the proceeds from the sale of shares after Gaze goes public. Of course, interest will still be calculated; even brothers should keep clear accounts.

Huang Xiaochuan strongly supports Goldman Sachs' plan to push Gaze to go public this year, which is why the two sides reached a tacit agreement on the next stage of investment. This is about seeking common ground while reserving differences. Everyone is here to make money, and there is no need to overturn the table unless absolutely necessary.

These newly registered investment companies were handled by Cao Charlie at Huang Xiaochuan's behest. He also arranged for some people to represent these companies to sign investment documents, and all procedures had to be completed.

After the Gaze company business was over, Huang Xiaochuan was also preparing to return. The itinerary was the same as when he came: first return to Hong Kong, and then return to Shanghai from Hong Kong.

However, before setting off, Ding Yi suddenly called Zhang Gaolei and asked him to tell Huang Xiaochuan to contact him immediately.

Upon hearing the news, Huang Xiaochuan guessed that Ding Yi must have run into some trouble, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the United States, especially since he hadn't told Ding Yi about coming to the United States.

Huang Xiaochuan didn't call Ding Yi right away, but instead called Yu Xiang first, because only Yu Xiang knew that he had come to the United States.

Sure enough, it was Yu Xiang who told Ding Yi about Huang Xiaochuan's situation in the United States. Ding Yi had come to her in a great hurry, and Yu Xiang told him about Huang Xiaochuan's situation in the United States.

After ending the call with Yu Xiang, Huang Xiaochuan immediately contacted Ding Yi.

After a phone call, Huang Xiaochuan learned the whole story.

The matter is not complicated. It was all caused by Ding Yi's wild moves in the Hong Kong stock market. Ding Yi, this dragon from across the river, made a killing in the Hong Kong stock market and made a lot of profits. This attracted the attention of some investment institutions. At first, they wanted to win Ding Yi over to do it together. They would provide the money, Ding Yi would manage the trading, and the profits would be split 10/90. They would take 90% and leave 10% for Ding Yi.

How could Ding Yi agree to such a thing? In the mainland stock market, countless people have tried every means to get on his big ship, but he has rejected them all. Now he is doing very well in the Hong Kong stock market and is enjoying great success. To ask him to work for these institutions is just asking them to be crazy.

The investment institutions that were turned away analyzed Ding Yi's trading methods and bribed a trader who was managing Ding Yi's portfolio.

Just as Ding Yi took a liking to a stock and began accumulating shares to drive up the price, these institutions also followed suit and bought a lot of shares. When Ding Yi wanted to push the price up, these institutions dumped their shares, causing the market to crash. Ding Yi had no choice but to reluctantly buy these shares.

The key point is that these institutions, working together to target Ding Yi, naturally have far more funds than Ding Yi himself.

As a result, Ding Yi's funds were quickly depleted by these institutions, while the stock price continued to decline. A rough estimate showed that he lost a total of about 40. When had Ding Yi ever suffered such a big loss?

This is a bit troublesome. At this point, someone took the initiative to approach Ding Yi and offered to lend him money, but of course, the interest rate was not low.

By this point, Ding Yi could no longer fail to understand that he was being targeted by a group of people. He definitely needed to borrow money, but not from the people these bastards had sent. Ding Yi knew that what they were borrowing wasn't money, but a noose to kill him.

This isn't the first time these people have done this. They use this method to deplete their opponent's cash flow, forcing them to cut their losses and leave the market. They then buy in at the low price and drive up the stock price to make a fortune.

If Ding Yi hadn't used the leverage provided by the brokerage firm, he wouldn't be in such a passive position. The brokerage firm has been urging Ding Yi many times, demanding that he sell his stocks as soon as possible and repay the financing provided by the brokerage firm, otherwise they will forcibly liquidate his positions.

So once Ding Yi realized what was happening, he immediately tried to contact Huang Xiaochuan, but Huang had already gone to the United States and he couldn't reach him for the time being.

Ding Yi went directly to Huang Xiaochuan's house to find him, and fortunately, the trip was worthwhile. He learned that Huang Xiaochuan had gone to the United States to find Zhang Gaolei.

Ding Yi then contacted Zhang Gaolei and found Huang Xiaochuan.

Upon receiving Ding Yi's call, Huang Xiaochuan immediately instructed Mai Guangde to contact a private jet company to charter a private jet in preparation for an immediate return to Hong Kong.

Seeing that Huang Xiaochuan was about to leave, Zhang Gaolei treated Huang Xiaochuan to dinner.

During the meal, Zhang Gaolei was still quite worried about Ding Yi.

"Xiao Chuan, I hope Old Ding isn't in trouble?"

"Nothing will happen for now. Actually, if Lao Ding isn't so impatient and just keeps at it, they won't be able to do anything to him. The main problem is that Lao Ding has never suffered such a loss before and can't swallow this insult. But this isn't necessarily a bad thing; it's a lesson learned."

Huang Xiaochuan has already arranged for Cao Charlie to urgently lend Ding Yi a sum of money to keep things going for now. Once Huang Xiaochuan arrives in Hong Kong, he will gather more funds to strangle these bastards one by one.

Ding Yi and Huang Xiaochuan had a clear division of labor: Huang Xiaochuan provided the money, and Ding Yi managed the operation, taking down those damn organizations one by one.

"That puts my mind at ease. You know I can't help him right now."

Huang Xiaochuan understood what Zhang Gaolei meant.

"This has nothing to do with you, and besides, you can't help with Lao Ding's matter."

"Alright, leave this to me. You and Lao Wu, don't forget to come to Shanghai to find us during your vacation."

"Don't worry, Lao Wu has already told me that he will meet up with me when he returns to China, and then we will travel together."

Huang Xiaochuan nodded: "You don't need to see me off tomorrow. I've made all the arrangements. I'll head straight to the airport first thing tomorrow morning."

Zhang Gaolei didn't stand on ceremony with Huang Xiaochuan: "Alright then! Have a safe trip."

That evening, after Huang Xiaochuan returned to the hotel, he made a phone call to Zhang Yun.

The main purpose is to hand over these business investments in the United States.

Zhang Yun set up her own office in New York. In order to start business as soon as possible, she paid Goldman Sachs a sum of money out of her own pocket to terminate her non-compete agreement.

Actually, Huang Xiaochuan thought that waiting a year wouldn't be a big deal, but he didn't expect Zhang Yun to be unwilling. Huang Xiaochuan thought that this matter wouldn't do him any harm anyway, and the penalty for breach of contract was paid by Zhang Yun herself.

In early April, Huang Xiaochuan concluded his trip to the United States and returned to Hong Kong along the same route he had taken to get there.
