The first thing Buffett did after returning home was hold a press conference.
At the conference, he singled out Jiang Siming for ridicule, saying he was nothing more than a nouveau riche upstart.
He also said that Jiang Siming's Yinghuan was merely a company that had grown by riding the momentum of the times, and that such a company lacked foresight and absolutely would not go far.
Those remarks also meant that Buffett had completely set himself against Jiang Siming.
After all, the old man had spent all these years taking advantage of others. When had he ever let anyone take advantage of him? Naturally, he was furious.
But no matter how much he smeared Jiang Siming, it was useless. Jiang Siming's Yinghuan was not publicly listed. Even if Buffett managed to ruin Yinghuan's reputation, it would not matter much. Its stock would not fall, either.
Buffett, however, was different. He had built his fortune through investing in listed companies.
Besides, now that he was trapped in the stock market, he had effectively given Jiang Siming a reason to deal with him.
"Emm, since this old man hates me so much, I think I should make him hate me a little more."
As soon as Jiang Siming finished speaking, he had Li Yingzi lead the company in shorting the stocks of Delta Air Lines and Mellon Bank, deliberately driving up their prices.
Someone else was buying at the bottom anyway. What did he have to fear?
Just like that, in a matter of days, Buffett lost more than ten billion dollars again, leaving him with a splitting headache.
He plunged directly from twelfth place to sixteenth, nearly falling out of the top twenty.
After finding out who was behind it, Buffett was furious. He posted several tweets condemning Jiang Siming
