High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 89 - 88: Shall We Confirm the Secret Code?
Li Yang specifically analyzed the settlement records sent by Xiangnu.
He is someone who excels at data analysis.
Even in the financial market, he is merely an amateur, yet after understanding this data and combining it with the K-line chart of Green Water Group, he can basically reconstruct the trading data of the past two days.
Within this Green Water Group stock, the fact that the main players can lay such a large bait indicates that their control over the market is much stronger than usual—they likely hold more than 20% of the tradable shares. Such strong control can be influenced by a mere twenty million in funds.
Each tussle of capital between the two sides is both reasonable and unexpected, as if the major players haven’t realized they’re being taken advantage of. Otherwise, there’s no explaining why they haven’t retaliated, allowing the opposition to profit significantly.
Impressive!
But becoming a master just doesn’t happen. It requires talent. Those without talent, even if they understand it, cannot learn it.
The market changes in real-time, and there are no set laws in stock trading. Even the most skilled can only teach the basics, and one must grasp the concepts on their own.
There are many ways to make money in the stock market, like the three thousand paths to enlightenment in cultivation novels, where any path can reach the highest realm.
However, very few truly comprehend it.
Some grasp even a trace of the method, and have yet to truly enter the game, and they’re already making a substantial profit.
If he had this ability, having two hundred thousand in capital would be excessive; even with thirty thousand, he could earn several billion in this bull market.
Then, he could open a private equity fund, raise tens of billions, and earn through dividends. And with his memory of the broader market trends, he might earn a hundred billion within seven years.
Wishful thinking...
Whenever he thought about money, he would start to drool a little.
The reality is, he’s already off to a fantastic start.
It’s already the 29th today, and with the 100,000 tips just sent by Xiangnu, he has 2.6 million in rewards in his backend. After taxes, he’ll receive 1.15 million in royalties.
He asked his editor and learned that the royalties would be paid out on the 12th of next month, just in time.
Anyway, they couldn’t count on Bai Qing’s help.
He knew all too well that if Bai Qing was willing to give, she’d definitely reach out to chat.
Just like how someone who owes money would never initiate a conversation with a creditor, they might not even respond to messages.
Don’t believe it?
Li Yang immediately sent a message to Bai Qing.
"Are you there?"
He didn’t even mention the one-million bonus. He dared to bet that even with just this message, Bai Qing wouldn’t...
"I’m here, I’ll transfer the one million to you the day after tomorrow so you can go ahead and register."
Li Yang: "..."
He asked, "If Green Water Group is facing difficulties, just consider it a joke, don’t take it seriously."
Though Bai Qing had her own little schemes, she genuinely delivered, and Li Yang was very grateful to her.
If it weren’t for her 200,000, he’d probably have saved the money meant for buying a laptop to use as capital.
Bai Qing quickly replied, "Green Water Group is not facing any difficulties, rest assured. I guarantee the money will be in your account the day after tomorrow; just give me your card number."
...
In her bedroom, Bai Qing held her phone and looked at the chat log, feeling very upset.
Nothing is more frustrating than meeting someone you can’t surpass.
For the past few days, she’s been in constant communication with Green Water Group, even leveraging her status as a major shareholder to demand a board meeting.
However, the current shareholders of Green Water Group directly vetoed her proposal.
After all, she wasn’t the absolute controlling shareholder.
Initially, she proposed a one-million bonus for Li Yang and a 200,000 bonus for Jiang Banxia (upon Qingbei acceptance), which was undoubtedly rejected.
She then revised the proposal to follow the old rules—a 200,000 bonus each for Li Yang and Jiang Banxia—and it was still denied.
Even those shareholders aligned with her father’s side stood against her this time.
There’s no other reason. Green Water Group is out of funds.
They’re not short of forty thousand or even more than a hundred thousand, but they don’t want to spend money in this area.
The reason Green Water Group lacks money isn’t due to its business operations.
The company has always dealt with the European and American canned goods market. Each year, orders were stable. Although profits have started to decline in recent years, the business itself is still profitable.
It’s just that Green Water Group’s operational costs have increased.
Twenty years ago, Green Water Group was among the first in the country to receive EU certification, kicking off international trade.
At that time, Green Water Group was at its peak.
However, her maternal grandfather insisted on hiring disabled individuals, providing them with 70% of the normal wages, while their productivity was only half that of a regular person.
Nevertheless, county policies offered some incentives, so employing disabled people wasn’t a real burden on the company.
But some minor shareholders weren’t happy. Even though their interests weren’t compromised, the increased expenditure reflected as a decrease in the company’s profit margins.
Her grandfather negotiated with all shareholders, offering to buy their shares at a 150% premium, yet they refused.
At the time, her grandfather owned 33% of Green Water Group’s shares. Along with the 20% held by the county government siding with him, it constituted absolute control.
Faced with the minor shareholders’ dissatisfaction, her grandfather directly allocated most of the annual profits to pay salaries to those minor shareholders, and they typically earned over twenty million annually.
But later, her grandfather passed away.
The 33% of shares he held were split into two, with her mother receiving 21% and her aunt receiving 12%.
The two stood together as always, adhering to their grandfather’s philosophy. Six years later, the proportion of disabled employees reached 22%, and the company’s annual net profit dropped from fifty million to ten million.
This wasn’t caused by disabled employees, but after grandfather’s death, those small shareholders started picking faults, dissatisfied with earning tens of millions annually.
Even if they inflated Green Water Group’s market value to fifty billion, they couldn’t earn that much since they held few shares.
Yet they were unsatisfied, believing their ambitions arose after grandfather’s death, starting to stuff irrelevant people into the company to counter the Bai Family.
After all, following grandfather’s death, the old timers’ influence in the company grew larger.
The Bai Family could only further compress their own profits, raise their wages, disbursing the dividends rightfully theirs as salaries to them.
Then, my mom died in a car accident.
The following year, my aunt reduced her holdings by 6% in the secondary market.
My dad took over the shares mom left behind, with county government support, he became the chairman of Green Water Group.
Although not quite an absolute majority, nobody could gather more shares than him, so the whole group still answered to my dad.
This year was supposed to be my dad’s fifth year as chairman of Green Water Group.
He passed away too...
Green Water Group formally entered the loss phase two years ago, last year it lost nearly twenty million, and this year will only lose more.
Green Water Group never wronged any shareholders; every year the due profits were divided down, even with losses these two years, shareholders still earned tens of millions annually.
Bai Qing asked her dad, why insist on doing meaningless things?
Her dad’s answer was, that EU certification is the hope for survival of the nearby counties, they must protect this key at any cost.
What hope, what key, she didn’t understand back then.
Green Water Group now has a disabled employee proportion of 34%, covering six nearby cities and twenty-nine counties.
This doesn’t include some fruit farmers without labor contracts with the company. If included, the number exceeds three thousand, behind which are three thousand families.
Most disabled people can only marry other disabled people; normal people carry prejudices.
Their monthly wages aren’t high, just over two thousand yuan.
It’s just a large number of people.
Bai Qing studied abroad, she originally didn’t need to return.
Before leaving, her dad said if he had an accident, she should stay abroad and never return. Selling off domestic real estate and stocks would be enough for a lifetime abroad.
She hesitated for a while but returned.
Her family actually had way more money; the first year of cooperation with Europe and America in 1994, they earned fifty million US dollars. The next year wasn’t much different...though later it lagged a bit, as the Euro replaced currencies, it climbed in value, the overall profit didn’t decrease much.
Over the years, Green Water Group’s total profit was about twelve billion, but shareholder salaries cost over eight billion, and secondary market dividend over four billion; the Bai Family took about a billion from the secondary market. Her family occupied company positions, earning very low salaries, just four or five hundred thousand annually.
Despite this, her family’s remaining foundation was leftovers after several rounds of funding.
At this time, Yang Shanshan walked in, saying: "Qingqing, are you sure you want to sell the house?"
Bai Qing smiled and said: "Of course, I promised that guy; if I don’t give him money, I’d be embarrassed to talk to him."
She currently only has eyes for Li Yang; if she can marry him, she’d sell Green Water Group stock, but if there’s no chance, she’ll never sell even if it kills her.
For love and family, she must answer for at least one in her life, or meeting mom and grandpa would invite their scolding.
Yang Shanshan rolled her eyes, "So what if he’s a science champion? Isn’t he still a poor lad? I really don’t understand what you see in him."
"Hehe, money can’t buy the heart’s desire; I must ensure the funds come in the day after tomorrow, otherwise he’ll start rushing me again."
"What? He actually dares to rush you? Don’t give him anything!"
Bai Qing immediately put on a pitiful expression, "Please...help me..."
She was just like a little girl in front of Yang Shanshan.
Yang Shanshan waved her hand, helplessly saying: "I’m fed up with you, never seen someone so desperate! Isn’t it all two eyes and a nose? So what if Li Yang has twenty centimeters?"
"Hehe, it’s even more..."
"Hmm?"
"Quickly help me sell the house, plus I have two Zhongzhou properties, put them up for sale too, I’ll need the money soon."
Yang Shanshan’s eyes widened, "My lady, are you squandering the family’s wealth?"
"Squandering is squandering, keeping it doesn’t mean much anyway. But rest assured, before it’s all gone, I’ll leave you two million!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"Alright, hurry up and squander, by then you’ll still be a millionaire."
Yang Shanshan finished and left.
Bai Qing laughed, she really didn’t take this matter seriously, gone is gone, could it be taken to the grave?
The old Li Yang, she was only willing to back with two million because she still hoped for alternatives. The current Li Yang, she’s willing to add all her money in, leaving no options.
She must marry him!
Good at games, writes songs, a super genius – such a husband is simply too handsome!
No matter if she can’t win him,
At this moment, she received a message from Li Yang.
"You’re acting weird today, you couldn’t have been kidnapped, right? Shall we verify our code?"
"Once I transfer a million to you, I’ll flirt with you properly then..."
"Why? What’s the connection between these two?"
"Because I feel inferior right now."
