You are worth tens of billions before you come to the system?

At 22:30 Tokyo time, US stocks opened.

Merck, which closed at US$159.5 last night, tilted downward at the opening and instantly fell below US$4000 billion in market capitalization.

A decrease of -8.0%, the current stock price is US$146.74, the market value is US$3726 billion, and approximately US$324 billion has been evaporated.

A large amount of money fled, and speculators, like bloodthirsty sharks, flocked in and became the main force in short selling.

They are very smart and can tell what is a feint and what is a real attack.

If Lin Zitai was still like last time, he just sold hundreds of thousands of shares at will, without even a bit of bad news.

They will never charge into battle and be used as cannon fodder.

But this time it was different. Negative news came one after another like a tide, leaving Merck with no time to react or deal with it.

It shows that Lin Zitai has invested heavily and wants to take action against Merck.

At this time, it is the speculator's turn to make a choice.

The first to enter may be cannon fodder, or you may have all you can eat.

Their greedy nature made them all choose the latter decisively.

Life is all about gambling, how can you win if you don’t gamble?

The opportunity to get rich overnight is right in front of you.

Why is Tsinghua University and Peking University not as courageous?

Success is not possible for the timid...

"Stop selling immediately and try to keep more than half of your chips in the first half of the night to prevent the main counterattack in the second half of the night."

Lin Zitai gave orders from afar.

To launch this attack, they spent nearly $2 million in chips in the first minute.

Even if you use five times the leverage with HSBC Securities Lending, your chips will only be 6 million, and this wave will directly consume one-third.

There are 4 million US dollars in chips left in the account, less than 250 million shares, and must be used carefully to avoid the main force's counterattack.

Although the temporary profit is 1600 million US dollars, making money tonight is only secondary, mainly to lower Merck's market value.

Let market speculators see Lin Zitai's determination, and also add useful chips for tomorrow's negotiations with Pioneer.

But it is also a double-edged sword. If the stock price can be successfully suppressed to below 4000 billion, the negotiations will go smoothly tomorrow.

If it fails, Lin Zitai will serve as a foil for Merck, allowing investors to see the determination of the main force to protect the market. The difficulty of suppressing Merck will increase several times in the future.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, Lin Zitai contacted relevant institutions such as Ping An and HSBC.

Entrust them to be prepared to cover everything tonight. Any money they make will be theirs, and any money they lose will be Lin Zitai's.

Lin Zitai will not only make up for the lost funds, but also provide an additional 10% labor fee.

Wei Yixiang and Qiaoen agreed, saying that they would go all out...

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Zhao Xiaoyou asked outside the door: "Can I come in and take a look?"

Lin Zitai opened the door to the study and returned to his seat: "Have you not rested yet?"

"I'm not sleepy, so I came here to stay with you."

Zhao Xiaoyou brewed a cup of hot coffee and sat quietly next to Lin Zitai. Suddenly, it changed from a wild tabby cat to a docile ragdoll cat.

"It's a lie to accompany me, but it's true to steal from me."

"You agreed to let me in."

Lin Zitai was speechless and laughed.

He is not the protagonist tonight, and the preparations have been done well. The rest can only be left to the market, so it cannot be said to be confidential.

Time passes by second by second.

It was almost early in the morning, Zhao Xiaoyou couldn't help but yawn, curled up his legs, and nestled in the enveloping hanging chair.

"Are you going to keep watching like this until dawn?"

In the past hour, Lin Zitai either watched the handicap or played Landlords, which was far from the scene she imagined.

"Otherwise? Do you think you have to shout and give orders all the time?"

Lin Zitai came to Zhao Xiaoyou and asked her to squeeze in. The hard solid wood chair made her butt hurt after sitting for a long time.

The quality of the hanging chair is very good. When two people sat on it, the swing was slightly larger and there was no sign of breakage.

"Isn't it?" Zhao Xiaoyou asked.

"Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't, but generally you don't."

Merck was unsure of Lin Zitai’s intentions and seemed to adopt a passive defensive strategy.

Just now, Lin Zitai asked Lu Feng to sell 100,000 shares again, successfully testing out where the support point of the stock price is.

US$143.55 is a defensive barrier set by Merck, and the decline is not allowed to exceed 10%.

After all, there are so many negative news about the nine-valent vaccine, and they need time to deal with it. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are Saturday and Sunday. Only by eliminating the negative news can the stock price rise.

Otherwise, once Lin Zitai seizes the opportunity, the stock price will tilt down again.

Their choice cannot be considered wrong. After all, the larger the scale of the company, the more stable it is.

Like domestic law enforcement, stability is a prerequisite.

It's like the anti-pornography campaign. If the law enforcement department really wants to arrest the prostitutes, none of the prostitutes involved will be able to escape. All the prostitutes' information can be retrieved through the young lady's payment information.

However, law enforcement agencies are mainly there to maintain stability.

Not everyone is like Lin Zitai, who is a complete gambler and can always win.

They can still accept today's 10% drop.

However, it also buys Lin Zitai enough time.

Zhao Xiaoyou frowned and was confused: "Your purpose is not to acquire Merck..."

Suddenly, she felt a little wet on her chest, and her attention was instantly diverted: "Where are you touching?"

"You're not big, how come you have so much volume?"

The villain Lin Zitai complained first, complaining: "You still let my son eat other people's food every day. Are you such a mother?"

"You care about me? I don't know how many people are queuing up to feed your son."

Zhao Xiaoyou glared fiercely, it's not like she didn't have the conditions, why would she let her breasts deform.

The little guy is obviously not big, but he is surprisingly strong. She has tried several times, but it hurts too much.

……

At around two o'clock in the morning, Zhao Xiaoyou couldn't hold on any longer. He still had work to do tomorrow, so he went to the baby room to take a look, then returned to the bedroom to sleep, leaving Lin Zitai to spend the long night by himself.

"What an impatient woman..."

Lin Zitai was bored and passed the time by scrolling through his phone until 4:30 in the morning, the last thirty minutes before the market closed.

Merck issued an official announcement. After a six-hour investigation, it was discovered that a force was slandering them.

The loss of immunity from the nine-valent vaccine, as well as infertility, are purely untrue. They will hold everyone legally responsible...

As soon as the announcement was released, Merck's stock price rose sharply in the last thirty minutes.

A large amount of money poured into the market, and goods were purchased frantically. After a few hours of silence, the market became volatile again.

Lin Zitai immediately ordered Lu Feng to tell traders not to be stingy with the chips in their accounts and toss as many as they had until the last bullet was fired.

Towards the end of the day, Merck issued an announcement, indicating that they did not have much determination and just wanted to try to steal the chicken.

At this time, if Lin Zitai dared to retreat even half a step, he would be awaiting an overwhelming counterattack.

Because shrewd speculators in the market generally carry out ultra-short-term operations, and will choose a part of the funds to be safe at the appropriate time.

Merck's market opening has been trending sideways half an hour after the opening today.

It gives speculators the opportunity to make a profit, and most people only retain part of their bottom positions and wait and see the subsequent market trend. Once Lin Zitai gives in, the speculators who originally supported him will definitely join the opponent's camp, turn into bullets, turn the gun, and hit them hard.

So the last thirty minutes must be defended.

At the same time, handicap trading volume surged.

A sum of one hundred thousand shares,

A sum of three hundred thousand shares,

A sum of half a million shares.

In just ten seconds, a huge sell order with a total value of more than 1.3 million US dollars appeared on the market, strongly suppressing the dragon's head.

The drop instantly exceeded -10% and continued to decline.

Not to be outdone, the main force invested millions of shares in buying orders, forcibly clearing up all the selling orders in the market.

The main force is coming fiercely, but the short sellers are even more fierce, giving no chance for the main funds to breathe.

After receiving instructions from Lin Zitai, Lu Feng issued an order to sell a huge delivery order of more than 120 million shares.

The market’s buy orders were swept away again,

The K-line that had just risen disappeared instantly and turned downward.

Across the ocean, America,

MSD's trading room.

Fraser, the CEO of Merck, stared angrily and cursed: "Madman, where does this guy get his confidence?"

He knows who is slandering Merck, and he also knows who is shorting Merck.

But he didn't understand, where did Lin Zitai get his confidence?

In the past few minutes, there were two transactions and four delivery orders for a total of 4 million shares, with a total value of more than 210 million US dollars.

What gave him the confidence to strike so harshly, so that he dared to do so?

Suddenly news came: "President, I heard that the 11.2% stake held by the Saudi Arabian sovereign has been transferred to Novartis Investments."

Fraser was stunned: "When did it happen?"

Assistant: "The news just came from Blackstone Fund. It should have happened three days ago."

Frazier fumed: "Why didn't we hear about the big deal?"

"Lin Zitai directly controls Bailey Investments."

The Saudi sovereign fund is like a super matrix, with no less than 300 investment companies under its umbrella.

On the one hand, it facilitates more refined management, and on the other hand, it facilitates tax filing and tax avoidance.

Bailey Investments holds 11.2% of Merck.

Normally, companies need to be notified of large-scale transactions, but for transfers of shares held by investment companies, there is no need to go through them, and the news can be delayed for at least fifteen working days before the news is announced.

Lin Zitai seized this loophole, which was not a loophole, and quietly took control of Bailey Investments, mastering a huge bargaining chip.

Merck has a total of 25.5 billion outstanding shares, and 11.2% of the shares represents 2.85 million shares, with a total value of more than $425 billion.

The assistant said: "President, it's almost closing."

Fraser sighed: "Give up the push, stabilize the stock price, the next two days are weekends, let's prepare again."

Although they have prepared more than 50 billion in funds, he is only the president, not the chairman, and cannot bear this responsibility.

One to two billion would be fine, but 50 billion is almost the entire cash flow of the group, so we need to be cautious.

This is also a common problem among large companies. Not every company can easily decide the whereabouts of tens of billions like Lin Zitai.

……

"It's finally over."

Lin Zitai took a long breath and slumped down on the chair with a smile on his face.

There are no dangers, and you can pass through dangers.

At five o'clock in Tokyo time, US stocks closed. Merck fell -9.9% that day, and its market value evaporated by more than 400 billion, leaving only a market value of 3649.05 billion.

The situation was really dangerous just now. Their chips were less than 40 shares, and they all planned to steal the chicken at the last second.

If the mainstream does not stop in time in the late trading, he will probably place his hopes on Ping An and HSBC.

Once you place your hopes on others, the choice is no longer in his hands.

Even if Lin Zitai is kind to Wei Yixiang, even if Qiao Qiaoen feels guilty about the leak of Ye Wudao's information...

Although there is another way, which is to use the shares of Novartis Investment, this is only the last resort.

In the quiet study room, an urgent call came.

Lin Zitai frowned and answered the phone. Yasir's voice came: "Mr. Lin, you owe me a favor."

He informed that at the last moment, he intentionally leaked the news that the shares had been transferred.

Therefore, Merck hesitated and missed the best opportunity to counterattack.

There is no situation where a businessman does good deeds without leaving his name behind. Even if he is doing charity, it is because he needs reputation, so he called Lin Zitai as soon as possible.

Lin Zitai frowned: "Mr. Yasir, we should have signed a gambling agreement, right?"

He didn't understand that if the merger with Merck failed, they would get 17% of Novartis shares. Under this premise, it would be good for Yasir not to cause trouble. How could he help him?

Yasser smiled slightly: "Yes, it is a gambling contract, but we Saudis always like to make friends."

Since the last time I was entrusted by Lin Zitai to help him contact other shareholders of Merck, there was no result.

He realized that even if they got the shares of Novartis, they would not be able to replace Lin Zitai's position.

The Saudi sovereign funds are not short of money, they are short of reliable and trustworthy partners.

Therefore, I am willing to give Lin Zitai a favor, let him owe me a favor, and strive for future cooperation opportunities.

"I will keep this sentiment in my heart."

Lin Zitai paused and asked curiously: "But, why do you think I will succeed?"

"I don't know. His Highness the Crown Prince said it was just intuition. His Highness is also looking forward to meeting you."

"Xiao Sa?"

"Correct."

"I'm also looking forward to meeting him. Mr. Yasir, would you please say hello to the Crown Prince for me."

Lin Zitai was surprised. He didn't expect that the crown prince who imprisoned his biological mother and dismembered reporters, who could be called the modern version of Xiao Li Er, would be interested in him.

No wonder Yasir would help. Rumor has it that Sasha's investment talent and political skills are very good.

In recent years, the Western media has been making false claims out of thin air, claiming that as long as Savoy takes office, the Arab world may usher in great unification.

For a crown prince who is feared by the West, it is not surprising that he is interested in him. After all, the enemy of his enemy is his friend.

After ending the call, Lin Zitai looked out the window. There was also a touch of fish belly white on the horizon.

He was not sleepy, so he came to the baby room and found that the nanny was coaxing Zhao Tianlin to sleep.

Although babies sleep a long time every day, they are always awakened several times in the middle of the night by poop and urine.

He had to be coaxed back to sleep every time. He had seen this happen to Ye Xiyue.

It's just that unlike Zhao Xiaoyou, Ye Xiyue dotes on her daughter and always takes care of the baby herself.

As long as you can do it yourself, you will never ask for a nanny.

Lin Zitai tried to persuade her several times, but he just let her go.

"Let me do it."

Lin Zitai took over the nanny's hand and carried Zhao Tianlin to the balcony to watch the sunrise. Suddenly, he suddenly suffered from secondary disease: "See, this is the country that my father helped you build."

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

The little guy stretched out his hands to grab the air, squinted his eyes, and smiled exactly like him.

Lin Zitai couldn't help but feel in a good mood. He shook off the malaise he had felt all night long and kissed her fiercely.

Suddenly, my palms felt a little heavy, and a smell floated upwards in the air. The smile on my face suddenly stiffened, and I hurriedly handed the baby to the nanny. (End of chapter)
