Chapter 605 The Arrival of the Short Sellers Sparks War (8k)

—Yu Xing is suspected of having crossed a mountain peak!

— Multiple recordings prove that the "King of Short Sellers" is very likely Yu Xing, the founder of Silicon Carbon Group!

—Yu Xing admitted that Shanfeng was the company behind Huishan Dairy, which led to a sharp drop in its stock price!
As the trending topics shifted on Monday morning, Yu Xing's gradually confirmed identity left everyone stunned. Some even suspected it was a case of a coincidence of names, game promotion, or a mistake in the trending topics... In any case, he couldn't possibly be the King of Short Sellers.

However, Yu Xing's long-dormant account reposted Shanfeng's short-selling report and gave a six-word conclusion, which undoubtedly directly and proactively admitted to this unexpected revelation.

Xu Xin of Capital Today was completely dumbfounded.

Her emotions fluctuated with the changes in trending topics.

"What nonsense! That's impossible."

What is voiceprint authentication?

"No, no, something must be wrong here. It's unlikely."

"Huh? 'Huishan did indeed commit fraud'? Yu Xing... that Yu guy!"

Xu Xin stared at the content on Yu Xing's Weibo account for several minutes, feeling a sense of bewilderment, as if she didn't know what year it was.

She instinctively dialed Yu Xing's number, but the call didn't go through twice.

Xu Xin was stunned for a while, then suddenly jumped up from the hotel sofa. While calling for a car to go straight to the Silicon Carbon Group, she tried to calmly consider the potential impact of the matter.

How can Silicon Carbon Group go public?

What does the future hold for silicon carbon data?
What legal issues will Yu Xing encounter?
as well as……

While sitting in the car, Xu Xin suddenly thought of a question: Yu Xing is Guo Shanfeng, but is Guo Shanfeng just Yu Xing? Who else is in cahoots with him?

A name easily came to mind: Liu Wanying!
Liu Wanying of Red Falcon Capital!

No wonder, no wonder, now it all makes sense!

Who else? Who else?
Upon thinking of this, Xu Xin immediately felt restless in the car; even the soft cushions of the Kyushu car felt like sitting on pins and needles.

She gritted her teeth and called Li Song, who was working on a series of short videos about "crossing the mountain peaks" that week. After failing to get through the first time, she was so angry that she wanted to turn the car around and rush home.

A moment later, Xu Xin's second call went through. Hearing the drowsy voice on the other end, anger surged within her: "Li Song! You've been caught!"

Upon hearing this, Li Song was instantly wide awake: "Wh-what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? You're asking me what I mean? I'm asking you what I mean!" Xu Xin snapped, "Your boss's affair has been exposed!"

Li Song was confused: "What, my boss? What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Xu Xin said, enunciating each word clearly, "Yu Xing is just a mountain peak, what are you pretending for!"

No wonder he suddenly decided to short sell, no wonder he keeps mentioning Yu Xing, he has one, two or three short sellers lurking around him!
They're sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams, and they've been keeping it all from me like this!

Li Song fell silent, wondering if he was dreaming.

He pinched himself hard, and the clear pain confirmed it was real.

Hearing the rapid accusations that followed on the phone, Li Song finally found a chance to interject and asked incredulously, "Yu Xing is Guo Shanfeng?? Are you kidding me??? This is impossible! I'm not, no, I am, I shorted, but, but I wasn't with him!!"

Such shocking news, such a tremendous injustice, the voice on the phone cracked.

"Look what you've done!" Xu Xin exclaimed angrily, "What else have you been hiding from me?! After your incident, why the hell did you even list silicon carbide on the market?!"

Li Song sat on the bed, holding his phone in one hand and grabbing his hair with the other, innocently shouting, "No, no, I didn't, I don't know, it wasn't me, President Yu, he... he didn't take me with him!!"

"He really didn't take me with him!"

"I swear to God, I really didn't know!!"

Li Song felt it was absurd, the news was absurd, the suspicion was absurd, and then he couldn't help but probe, "Is he really Guo Shanfeng? Then, then, are you?"

If something like General Yu crossing a mountain peak is possible, what else in the world is impossible?
Today Capital had too close ties with Ms. Yu. Now that the affair has been exposed, will she try to turn the tables and blame others?
Hearing the accusations being leveled on the phone, Xu Xin flew into a rage and cursed into the phone for five minutes straight without stopping.

As he continued cursing, it seemed as if all the shock and bewilderment in his mind were finally released through his outburst.

Finally, she asked coldly, "You really aren't?"

"I really didn't," Li Song said weakly. "Why can't I admit it to you? I'd love for you to say I am... Well, President Yu, if he were Guo Shanfeng, he would probably know that I was also shorting the market. He did it intentionally or unintentionally... Damn, he's such a good actor!"

Upon hearing this, and recalling Yu Xing's character, Xu Xin only uttered one last sentence: "I'll settle the score with you tonight!"

She put down her phone, her mind filled with suspicion.

Yu Xing is, Liu Wanying is, and if Li Songzhen isn't, who else is most likely?
Another name immediately popped up—Xiong Xiaoge.

Xu Xin recalled her serious discussion with Yu Xing about the possibility that Xiong Xiaoge was a mountain peak, and immediately felt her teeth itch. That Yu guy was simply treating people like fools!

With so many achievements over the mountain peaks, there must be collaborators involved!
It's almost certainly Xiong Xiaoge!
Xu Xin's emotions were in turmoil. As she was about to arrive at the Carbon Silicon Group, the thought of Yu Xing being the king of short sellers brought her immense shock that almost made her numb.

"Mr. Xu? It seems they won't let us in." The driver slowed the car down to a minimum and explained the situation.

Xu Xin's car could usually drive directly into the silicon carbon group, but today was clearly a special case, and it wasn't just her; there were already quite a few cars parked at the entrance.

She got out of the car without saying a word and saw Yu Xing's secretary, Zhang Yangxu, surrounded by people at the door, urging them to leave.

"We will respond to everything through a statement." Zhang Yangxu took over the task of dissuading the guests, and was sweating profusely as he earnestly advised, "Please understand, please understand, President Yu is busy with something and it is inconvenient for him to come right now, really inconvenient."

At a glance, Xu Xin noticed that many of the attendees were guests at the Internet Conference, but there were also those who had suffered at the hands of Guo Shanfeng.

Jiang Nanchun of Fenzhong Media looked ashen-faced, while Shi Wenyong of NetQin looked grim.

Xu Xin is the head of Capital Today and a shareholder of Silicon Carbon Group. She ignored Zhang Yangxu and tried to walk in from the side, but was stopped by the security guards who were on duty.

She usually just shows her face when she arrives in Hong Kong, and even if she goes to the CEO's office, she'll be served tea. This time was no exception.

"Zhang Yangxu, I want to see President Yu!" Xu Xin shouted loudly with a cold face.

Zhang Yangxu looked helpless: "President Xu, it's inconvenient today. President Yu won't be seeing me. Please understand, please understand..."

Just then, another black Kyushu car arrived, and the person who got out was Xiong Xiaoge, the head of IDG.

As Xiong Xiaoge frowned at the chaotic scene before him, his gaze suddenly met Xu Xin's. Both of them were startled and, instead of exchanging pleasantries as they usually did, they each went their separate ways to the east and west.

Seeing Xiong Xiaoge standing still with a guilty look on his face, Xu Xin immediately confirmed her suspicions: there were indeed accomplices at Guoshanfeng, not only Yu Xing, but also Xiong Xiaoge was one of the masterminds!

Seeing Xu Xin standing still with a guilty look on her face, Xiong Xiaoge immediately confirmed his earlier suspicions: there were indeed accomplices at the mountain peak, not only Yu Xing, but also Xu Xin was one of the masterminds!

However, the two, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, failed to notice the strange glances cast upon them by the people around them.

Xiong Xiaoge and Xu Xin eventually looked away, and after a short while, the Goldman Sachs team arrived in a hurry.

The sudden exposure of the mountain peak directly impacted the silicon carbon group, which was already listed. Originally, it had the halo of being the "first new energy stock in China" and its IPO was almost guaranteed to succeed. However, the king of short sellers swept through the global financial market, which raised serious questions.

Huang Guobin, who was in charge of liaising between Goldman Sachs and Silicon Carbon Group, listened to Zhang Yangxu's advice and directly warned, "We can't get in touch with President Yu. Now this is about the changes to Silicon Carbon's listing. It's a listing worth tens of billions of dollars. Can you take responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yangxu hesitated. He couldn't contact his boss right now, but the listing of the Silicon Carbon Group was indeed a top priority and needed to be negotiated.

He glanced hesitantly at the growing crowd, then gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Huang, you go in first."

Zhang Yangxu pushed away the arm that was being pulled away and turned to instruct the security guard to let Huang Guobin in first.

The security guard obeyed and only opened the small gate to let people in.

"Let's all squeeze in!" someone shouted from the crowd, and immediately received a response. Whether they were leaders of various factions or senior executives of different departments, they all disregarded their manners and rushed to enter the Silicon Carbon Group.

Xu Xin recognized Xiong Xiaoge's voice as a hushed tone and cursed inwardly, "Hold your voice down, hold your voice down, sooner or later the voiceprint identification will also be able to identify you!"
But she also squeezed her way in with the crowd, wanting to see President Yu as soon as possible.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, oh dear, Mr. Xu, please go back, don't make things worse." Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, and not wanting anyone to actually push and shove, Zhang Yangxu helplessly called out repeatedly as Xu Xin tried to squeeze in.

Xu Xin pointed to the people running towards the office building ahead: "They've all gone in, what's the difference between me and them? Are you going to stop me now?!"

Zhang Yangxu thought to himself, "Since the job is going to be a disaster anyway, I might as well just let President Xu in."

He managed to form a human wall with the security guards to control the situation, but then he thought about the group of people who had gone in and realized the situation was bad. The problem was... if an industry bigwig were to be injured or bruised at this time, the public opinion would only worsen...

There is also security in the silicon carbon group's office building, which serves as a second layer of protection to control the situation.

Yu Xing, who was in the president's office, had already spotted many familiar faces by the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He stubbed out his cigarette and ended his call with Zhu Zehui, the director of Lingang.

Given the current situation, Silicon Carbon Group has no choice but to try to list in Hong Kong instead of Nasdaq. However, it would be difficult for Silicon Carbon Group to list successfully on its own, so it can only try to seek help.

At the same time, offering this assistance is also a way to gauge the attitude of those above.

Over-the-Mountain Peak has shorted many Chinese concept stocks. Although there are none in mainland China, there are several in Hong Kong, and one of them is plummeting today.

Institutions in Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries have launched investigations into the mountain peaks. The legal issues that have been exposed are mostly from outside. Although no investigations have been launched domestically, the existence of short sellers is not traditionally supported or appreciated.

then what should we do?

Yu Xing could only try.

Zhu Zehui had actually received a notification from his subordinates immediately, learning the important fact that Yu Xing was Guo Shanfeng. However, he did not take the initiative to contact them. Instead, he kept refreshing the relevant news in his office and confirmed the validity of the voiceprint identification.

At 10:20 a.m., he finally received a call from Yu Xing and asked, "Mr. Yu, what's going on?"

Yu Xing briefly explained the situation, acknowledged Guo Shanfeng's identity, and mentioned the listing of the Silicon Carbon Group.

Although Zhu Zehui was mentally prepared, he was still shocked to hear the person involved admit it himself.

After a long while, he said something that didn't quite suit his status, exclaiming, "President Yu, you... how are you so awesome?"

This truly is the transformation of one breath into three pure beings.

This year, the new energy vehicle industry has just set a benchmark for the transformation of the domestic automobile industry. Before that, it was already a pioneer and leader in the mobile internet. This dual expertise is widely praised online and within the industry, and has been repeatedly commended by leaders.

As a result, he quietly became the king of short sellers.

The thought of conversing with the world's mysterious king of short sellers filled Zhu Zehui with excitement and honor, and he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Yu, how could you be so careless?"

Yu Xing said helplessly, "Director, this is the progress of technology. Technology can make the Silicon Carbon Group stand out from the traditional car brands and also allow it to seize those clues that were not clues in the past."

"President Yu, this matter..." Zhu Zehui put aside his discussion with Guo Shanfeng and pondered, "This matter of yours, well, I'm afraid we'll have to hold a meeting to discuss it. It's hard to say for sure right now. But, from my personal perspective, things that benefit the development of domestic industries are important. Everything else is... well, it can't be called trivial. Anyway, the better the industry develops, the better things will be."

Yu Xing understood this stance and asked, "Director, I don't want to see this situation, but now that this has happened, I wonder if it will affect you."

Zhu Zehui had previously revealed his whereabouts, but now he has cultivated another world-class short seller in Lingang, making the situation seem somewhat confusing.

"President Yu, industrial development is a major issue, and local transformation is a major issue." Zhu Zehui said calmly, lowering his voice, "The more unexpected the situation, the more we need experienced people to protect us."

The status of the Silicon Carbon Group in Lingang is self-evident. The first phase of the factory is busy supplying products to all parts of the country, the second phase of the factory is under construction, and a memorandum of understanding for cooperation on a new factory was just signed with Zhejiang Province a few days ago.

Zhu Zehui dared not say that he could definitely get the Silicon Carbon Group listed again, but under these circumstances, he must ensure the normal operation and development of the Silicon Carbon Group.

However, given the considerable international controversy surrounding the "King of Short Sellers," the evaluation and treatment of Yu Xing personally may be temporarily put on hold.

Yu Xing understood immediately and thanked the director for his attitude at this time.

Zhu Zehui chatted for a couple more minutes, then said he had to go to the city to report now. Finally, he casually asked, "President Yu, is that all? Is there anything else?"

Yu Xing subconsciously turned his thoughts around. Other things... Liu Ge overseas shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Zhu Zehui's heart skipped a beat when he didn't get an immediate answer on the phone.

He immediately said, "President Yu, please don't be like this, please don't hesitate, please don't... say anything. In this situation, there shouldn't be anything else. We've known each other for so long, this is just my personal opinion, there's nothing else. If there is, that's a future matter. If something happens in the future, then we can only accept the consequences calmly." Yu Xing was both amused and exasperated: "Director, you... really, there isn't. Thank you."

Zhu Zehui took a breath: "President Yu, no need to thank me. I didn't say anything. Keep in touch. Development is paramount."

He hung up the phone, wiped the sweat from his brow; being the king of short sellers was quite a pressure.

Yu Xing put his phone on the table, sat back down in his chair, and lit another cigarette. Although he wasn't entirely sure, he felt a little more at ease.

The exposure of the mountain peak through a technology-enabled approach caught everyone off guard, leaving them with no choice but to prioritize urgent matters.

It would be best if the Silicon Carbon Group could go public. If it cannot, it will need to put a lot of thought into how to utilize its overseas funds.

As Director Zhu said, development is paramount, but if Silicon Carbon Group wants to accelerate its development, it still needs money. Once the hope of listing is slim, subsequent institutional investment will be extremely cautious.

Yu Xing held the cigarette between his fingers and gently tapped it on the ashtray.

The door to the CEO's office was unlocked, and eventually, a commotion could be heard approaching.

Yu Xing thought for a moment, then reached out and put the ashtray in the drawer.

boom! !

The office door was pushed open.

"Mr. Yu..." Huang Guobin of Goldman Sachs, who was walking at the front, looked embarrassed. He had just called out when he was interrupted by a loud shout from behind before he could explain that he hadn't pushed the door open himself but had been pushed through by the crowd.

NetQin's chairman, Shi Wenyong, roared, "You bastard, surnamed Yu!"

Yin Chengxu, the vice president of NetQin, who was standing next to him, also shouted, "Yu Xing! Are you Guo Shanfeng?! Did you short NetQin?!"

A group of people squeezed into the CEO's office, along with the security personnel. Faced with a group of executives who were difficult to scold or beat, they could only become the last line of defense to protect the boss.

Yu Xing glanced at the list and saw a group of familiar faces, including NetQin, Fenzhong Media, IDG, Capital Today, Goldman Sachs, and Megvii Technology, as well as guests he had met at the Internet Conference a few days ago, such as Ancun Technology.

Goldman Sachs was there to conduct business, the victim was there to raise questions, and the others were probably just there to watch the show.

Yu Xing flicked his cigarette butt onto the table and calmly replied, "Guoshanfeng shorted NetQin on December 15, 2011. What, Mr. Yin, don't you remember that date?"

See it on trending topics and Weibo, but it's never as impactful as the person involved admitting it personally.

The crowd was in an uproar, and even the security guards from Silicon Carbon couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the boss.

Yu Xing stood up from his seat, stood behind his desk, and stared intently at the astonished, angry, and excited gazes of the group of people. He said, “NetQin claims a 90% market share, but in reality it’s only 5%. They also profit by creating viruses through affiliated companies and then using them to kill viruses. Mr. Shi, Mr. Yin, did I say something wrong? Did Guo Shanfeng say something wrong?”

NetQin Chairman Shi Wenyong was both shocked and furious, never expecting Yu Xing to behave this way in front of everyone.

He waved his finger in the air, pointing at Yu Xing: "Yu Xing, you... are you really Guo Shanfeng?!"

Yu Xing took a light breath: "I am Guo Shanfeng."

The office fell silent suddenly.

On Zhihu, he verified the audio; on Weibo, he accused Huishan of fabricating evidence. This was almost a positive reaction from the person involved after facing solid evidence. However, he ultimately did not utter those five words online.

Now, with everyone witnessing, these five words came out of Yu Xing's mouth... like a collision of planets!

Even though Xiong Xiaoge found it hard to believe, he had no choice but to believe it. He exclaimed in astonishment, "President Yu!"

Xu Xin unconsciously pounded her forehead with both hands, swallowed hard, and thought, "Yu Xing is really something else. Yu Xing is really something else. The king of short sellers whose identity is being investigated globally is actually someone I've known for so long!"
She was momentarily stunned. The person she had tried to kick out when they first met had become the king of short selling!

"What a 'Guo Shanfeng'! What a 'Yu Xing'!" Jiang Nanchun of Fenzhong Media confirmed the trending topic rumors and sneered, "Yu Xing, you are truly despicable and shameless. You groundlessly shorted our Fenzhong Media back then. You are a fraud! A fraud!!"

Bai Xiaosheng is a client of Fenzhong Media, and Silicon Carbon Group is an even bigger client of Fenzhong Media.

However, Jiang Nanchun, thinking about the company's difficult journey of delisting from the US and then listing in China, disregarded the client's money and insisted on confronting the other party directly.

Yu Xing responded with a sneer: "What? President Jiang still has something to say? If I'm a fraud, then what are you?"

Jiang Nanchun shouted angrily, "Fenzhong did not fabricate anything. You are not the only one who has crossed the mountain peak. The other organizations we invited have already cleared my name!"

After Guoshanfeng shorted Fenzhong Media, Fenzhong Media hired an independent third-party organization, which ultimately concluded that the number of screens was not fabricated.

Looking at Jiang Nanchun's appearance, Yu Xing slammed his hand on the table and burst into laughter.

Just then, a familiar voice broke the laughter.

"Mr. Yu is so impressive! Guo Shanfeng is so impressive! What an impressive short-selling king!"

As Ma Chuan spoke, the crowd automatically made way for China's number one internet giant, and also for Guo Shanfeng's victims, as everyone knew that Guo Shanfeng had once shorted Alibaba with a single sentence.

Ma Chuan arrived, He Xiaopeng arrived, and Cai Chongxin also arrived.

Also arriving were Pony Ma and Ren Yuxi from Tencent, Zhang Chaoyang from Sohu, and Liu Chiping from their own company MUS.

Secretary Zhang Yangxu followed helplessly behind, unable to stop someone like Ma Chuan from forcing his way in.

"Very good, Mr. Ma has arrived. Mr. Ma, come and bear witness." Yu Xing was not alarmed by Ma Chuan's sarcastic tone. He pointed at Jiang Nanchun and said, "Fine, Mr. Jiang is still trying to deny that it's fake. Fine, let me tell you, fake is fake. Not only is it fake, but I'm 100% sure it's fake!"

He said with a mocking expression, "Back then, I personally counted out each and every screen that FENZONG had there in Shenzhen. I counted them one by one, and there were 5925 screens! You claimed to have 9200 screens in Shenzhen! Where did the other 35% of the screens go?!"

"There are 12 screens nationwide, but in reality there are only 8. First-tier cities claim 28%, but in reality there are only 17%!"

"President Jiang, you actually dare to distort the truth! Who gave you the courage!"

Yu Xing grinned and looked at Ma Chuan: "Did President Ma give it to you?"

Jiang Nanchun was stunned. She hadn't expected that Yu Xing had personally counted the screens in Pengcheng. This... this...

He was momentarily speechless, and could only continue his angry outburst: "You, you...you're lying!"

Seeing his stubbornness, Yu Xing said indifferently, "Right and wrong have long been judged. You're dreaming if you try to distort the truth now."

Jiang Nanchun was furious and panting heavily: "Yu Xing, you think that by forcing me to delist, you can go public now? You're dreaming!"

Yu Xing looked at him coldly.

"Yu Xing, I never expected you to be such a fame-seeking person," Ma Chuan said sarcastically. "What new energy pioneer, what mobile internet leader, ha, did you expect this day to come while you were hiding like this?"

Yu Xing scoffed: "What? NetQin is dissatisfied, Fenzhong is distorting the truth, and Alibaba is also denying the transfer of control over Alipay? Did I use your seals to stamp it?"

Ma Chuan said, "That was an action we negotiated with Yahoo. Yu Xing, I'm asking you now, how did you get this information?"

This is something he didn't understand back then, and still finds puzzling now.

"Yes, yes, you've negotiated with Yahoo," Yu Xing retorted sarcastically. "Now is not the time for Yahoo to sue you. You've reached an agreement, right? Isn't what Guo Shanfeng said the truth? Is Guo Shanfeng saying that your data is problematic? Can't you state the facts?"

Ma Chuan retorted, "The fact is you're manipulating the market!"

"Market manipulation? Ha, do you even know what market manipulation is?" Yu Xing launched into a tirade. "You think you can just manipulate things like that? The U.S. Securities Exchange Act and the SEC both define it as using fraudulent means to influence prices. In Europe, it's about giving misleading supply and demand signals and false price signals in trading and orders. In Japan, it's about inducing others to buy and sell and causing misunderstandings in trading. And you're talking to me about market manipulation?"

"Who is manipulating the market? Who is misleading the public? Who is providing false information?"

The short seller is clearly very familiar with the laws and regulations that his actions may violate.

Hearing this, the group of people in the office couldn't help but sigh, realizing it really was short selling...

At this time, Li Yaohui, the vice president of Volkswagen, Wu Jiashuo, the director of Mercedes-Benz, and others also arrived at the president's office of the Silicon Carbon Group.

Li Yaohui was surprised to see so many people here, and boldly said, "Yu Xing, you have to give us an explanation!"

"Give you an explanation? Give you what explanation?" Yu Xing's eyes flashed like lightning. "Volkswagen falsified emissions data, and you actually want me to give you an explanation?"

He looked around at the group of people and found it increasingly amusing: "You all act like victims? You're all so high and mighty, claiming that Volkswagen is a fraudster and a monopoly, Alibaba is hiding its control, Fenzhong is trying to distort the truth, and NetQin, an antivirus company, is creating a virus!"

"Short the peaks, short the masses, short Alibaba..."

Yu Xing reached out and pointed at them one by one: "Short Fenzhong, short NetQin, short Qi, yes, I'm going to short all of you!!"

Pony, who was watching the drama unfold in the crowd, stared wide-eyed as President Yu pointed his finger at him and then suddenly lowered it, his mind filled with question marks. No, no, wait a minute!
Wasn't the guy surnamed Yu about to say he was going to short Tencent?
Over the mountain peak, I didn't short the penguin!
Wait a minute, did Over Peak really never short Penguin?

Or is it that Overpeak is planning to short Tencent? Is there a problem with some of Tencent's businesses?
Pony's trip was supposed to witness the grand unveiling of the secrets, but he was unexpectedly pointed at like this. Belatedly realizing that he had also been shorted, he couldn't help but interrupt the impassioned Yu Xing: "Yu Xing, did Guoshanfeng short Penguin?"

Faced with questions from different people, Yu Xing's mind was racing. He had caught a glimpse of Pony's face earlier and couldn't help himself for a moment. Now, glancing over, he retorted, "Pony, what are you doing here? Don't you know whether Tencent has been shorted or not?"

Pony knew this before, but now she's not sure.

And, on this trip back, he was also thinking about something else. Yu Xing's reputation as a financial disruptor was going to be severely damaged, and the future of overseas markets was uncertain. He wanted to try to bring Liu Chiping home.

“Yu Xing, you’re so arrogant. You think you can get away with all that talking?” Ma Chuan stared at Yu Xing. “Yu Xing, Silicon Carbon Group can’t go public, Silicon Carbon Data can’t go public, your dream is shattered! And with me here, Douyin can forget about continuing to develop like that!”

Criticism is ultimately less effective than real competition.

The merger of the major short seller and the actual controller will pose many additional difficulties for the company's development, and Ma Chuan is well aware of this.

Yu Xing laughed loudly: "What? Mr. Ma thinks you control the market? Meituan didn't want to follow you back then, so you wanted to take on Meituan. Now that you're not in the right, you want to take on Douyin? If you're going to do it, then do it. What excuse are you making? Who are you trying to convince?"

He took a few steps forward and pointed to the door: "The market competition is outside, please feel free to compete if you want."

Several aggrieved parties and numerous visitors were subjected to such questioning, yet they were overwhelmed and verbally attacked by an outnumbered force.

NetQin's Vice President Yin Chengxu, filled with resentment, suddenly noticed the conflicted Pony. A plan formed in his mind, and he abruptly jumped out, grabbing Yu Xing's arm and crying out, "President Yu, you were also a hard-working entrepreneur back then, finally building the Silicon Carbon Group to this level. You were the one featured in the news..."

Just as Yu Xing cried for his horse back then, so too does NetQin cry for Yu Xing today!

Hearing the crying, Yu Xing knew the intention to destroy him. He forcefully shook off Yin Chengxu's arm, and with a sudden burst of malice, kicked him in the buttocks: "What kind of thing are you? You dare to cry for me?"

Yin Chengxu was kicked and stumbled, failing to cry out.

Pony watched this scene and suddenly noticed that many people were looking over. Sensing the complex emotions in their eyes, she wondered, "Is this how the problem should be solved?"

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Yu Xing hit someone! Yu Xing attacked someone!"

Jiang Nanchun, Li Yaohui, and the others rushed forward, eager to vent their anger.

Yu Xing shouted as he retreated, "I see you! I see you!"

Security blocked the way, so Yu Xing circled half of the desk before finally jumping onto it and pointing at the voice in the crowd: "I see you! Xin Yingmei from Qingtian Software! It's you! Guoshanfeng hasn't even looked for you yet, and you dare to show your face! You're faking it!"

The commotion of the crowd abruptly ceased, and Xin Yingmei wanted to back away upon hearing this.

The crowd, whether intentionally or unintentionally, shielded her in front of them, blocking her escape route.

Xin Yingmei said in a panic, "It wasn't me, no, don't do this, it wasn't me, I'm not."

Yu Xing stood on the desk, pointing down at the man: "Xin Yingmei, the chairman of the Hong Kong-listed company Qingtian Software, it's you, it's you! Come out here!"

Xin Yingmei's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and she murmured, "No, it wasn't me, I won't come out, I won't come out."

She looked at Yu Xing pleadingly, but when she met his disdainful and cold gaze, it was as if she had been electrocuted. She frantically shouted to the others present, "Don't listen to his nonsense, don't listen to his nonsense, don't, don't tell anyone."

Unable to get a response, Xin Yingmei could only pin her hopes on the company's second-largest shareholder: "President Ma, save me! President Ma, he's talking nonsense! He's not telling the truth!"

Alibaba is the second largest shareholder of Huaxia Qingtian Software, having made the investment as early as 2011.

However, at this moment, Ma Chuan, listening to the information revealed in Yu Xing's two short sentences and Xin Yingmei's pleas for help, suddenly fell silent.

Even though they were the victims, even though they were shorted, even though they were attacked, Pony, Zhang Chaoyang and others couldn't help but sigh as they watched Yu Xing's single gesture make the chairman of the listed company not even dare to admit his identity, and even the number one giant couldn't save him.

The king of short sellers, his power is truly astounding!
