Eleven o'clock in the morning, Snowball platform.
User "Value Discoverer":
"I have read the responses from both official accounts today. Jiahe is the dignity of a winner, and Henglong is the magnanimity of a loser.
But judging from public opinion, Henglong has gained a wave of goodwill."
User "Old Leek Root":
"What's the use of winning favor? You can't make any money."
User "Patient Holder":
"Why can't you make money? Henglong's stock price only fell 0.3% today, which shows that the market doesn't think this is a big deal at all."
User "Valuation Hunter":
"Yes, I also read it. Henglong opened at 17.8 today and is now 17.75, down slightly.
Such a big negative, and the fact that it fell so much shows that the market still has confidence in Zhao Chen."
User "Chase Rises Kill Dips for Life":
"What kind of confidence do you have? Isn't it just that you have money?"
User "Pig Cycle Hunter":
"Having money in hand is the greatest confidence.
Henglong currently has the lowest debt ratio in the industry, and has more than 3 billion in cash on its account. Even if it fails to invest in pig farming, it can still invest in other things.
What are you afraid of from this kind of company?"
User "Patient Holder":
"And Zhao Chen has really good vision. From settling in Henglong to Strategic Contraction, to selling properties, to reducing debt, every step has been proven to be right.
Although Eagle was not negotiated this time, the target he was interested in was snatched away by Jiahe at a high price, which shows that he was right."
User "Valuation Hunter":
"Yes! This logic is established. Zhao Chen likes Eagle, which means that Eagle is really good.
Jiahe paid a high price to snatch it away, which shows that Jiahe also agrees with this judgment. This in turn proves Zhao Chen's vision."
User "Old Leek Root":
"... How can I explain it this way?"
User "Patient Holder":
"That's how the capital market is. Confidence is more important than gold. Zhao Chen has proven himself in the first eight months, and now the market is willing to give him time."
User "Chase Rises Kill Dips for Life":
"Okay, you continue to brag. I'll withdraw first."
User "Value Discoverer":
"Why are you withdrawing? Isn't it stupid to withdraw now? Henglong Fundamentals is so hard, just wait for the meat."
12 noon, Henglong Building 28th floor.
Chen Xi handed the phone to Zhao Chen:
"Zhao Zong, look, the wind has turned."
Zhao Chen took it and glanced at it a few times, raising the corners of his mouth slightly:
"Very good."
Chen Xi smiled and said:
"Our official WeChat post was too timely. Jiahe's side is very arrogant, but our side is tolerant and decisive."
Zhao Chen shook his head:
"It's not about superiority, it's about different positioning. They have to prove that they have won, and we have to prove that we can afford to lose."
He paused:
"Moreover, only those who can afford to lose will have a chance to win again."
Zhang Qingxue opens the door and comes in:
"Zhao Zong, the stock price has stabilized. The closing should be around 17.7."
Zhao Chen nodded:
"Expected."
As of three o'clock in the afternoon, there is still one hour left before Hong Kong Stocks closes.
The expected big drop still hasn't happened.
The reporters who were originally waiting to write "Henglong suffered a setback in its transformation and the stock price fell sharply" fell into silence collectively when they looked at the time-sharing line which only fell 0.3%.
This script is wrong.
A 2 billion project was cut off, and it only dropped so much?
So, I quickly rewrote the prepared manuscript.
<Securities Daily>: "The stock price of Henglong is strong under the bad news, and the market votes with its feet to show its confidence."
<21st Century Business Herald>: "Henglong only fell slightly by 0.3% after the Jiehu incident. Investors used real gold Silver to vote for confidence."
<Daily Economic News>: "Looking at the market logic from the stock price performance of Henglong: losing the project does not mean losing the future."
<Finance> Magazine: "Where does Zhao Chen's confidence come from? Analysis of the three major reasons why Hang Lung's stock price resisted the decline."
On Snowball, a hot post was pushed to the home page:
<Why didn't Henglong's stock price fall? Because the market understands more than you do>
"Many people were waiting to see Henglong's joke today, but they didn't see it as a joke and were slapped in the face by Henglong's stock price.
Why did Henglong only fall 0.3%? Three reasons:
First, Henglong and now Fundamentals are too hard.
The debt ratio is the lowest in the industry, with more than 3 billion in cash on hand. The property was just sold for 2.6 billion, and the stock price rose from 5 yuan to 18 yuan.
How can a company like this be hurt if it loses a project?
Second, Zhao Chen's vision has been verified by the market for eight months.
He fell in love with Eagle, which shows that Eagle is really good.
Jiahe paid a high price to grab it, but it proved that Zhao Chen's judgment was correct.
Since he sees it correctly, then continue to trust him.
The third and most critical thing - Henglong can afford to lose.
With more than 3 billion in cash in hand, if this project fails, you can invest in it. How many companies A-share have this kind of confidence?
So don't worry about Henglong.
If you lose the project, you will win the reputation, and the stock price will be stable.
What you should really worry about is the person who spent more than 2 billion to take over the deal."
The comments section was full of agreement:
"That's right! Henglong lost this time, but he lost with dignity."
"The stock price is the most real, and the tickets that cannot fall are good tickets."
"I believe in Zhao Chen even more now."
"+1, wait for his next bid."
"Waiting for the meat."
In the office, Zhao Chen Westerners are sitting around on the sofa.
The Snowball posts, Weibo comments, and Financial News are all crossed out on the mobile phone screen.
Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh:
"Look at this - 'Only those who can afford to lose deserve to win next time'. The comment area is all +1."
Zhang Qingxue pushed up his glasses:
"It's the same here. Almost no one in Stock Bar is badmouthing it anymore, they are all waiting for Xiao Chen to find the next target."
Su Wantang handed the phone to Zhao Chen:
"Your official account has attracted a lot of fans. Someone took a screenshot and posted it, saying, 'This is how everyone behaves.'"
Zhao Chen took it and glanced at it, raising the corners of his mouth slightly:
"Everyone's style? I just write casually."
Chen Xi rolled his eyes at him:
"You can win back public opinion by writing casually. If you write seriously, why can't you become a god?"
The Westerners laughed together.
Su Wantang gently holds Zhao Chen's hand:
"Are you relieved now? Minor Shareholder's trust in you is stronger than before."
Zhao Chen nodded:
"Yeah. Better than expected."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang.
Three words danced on the screen: Shen Jue.
Zhao Chen was connected and turned on the hands-free.
"Zhao Chen," Shen Jue's voice came from the other end of the phone, as crisp as ever, "I saw the news."
Zhao Chen smiled:
"See? Are you paying attention too?"
Shen Jue said:
"Yes! I feel like you are lucky."
Zhao Chen was slightly startled:
"Luck?"
Shen Jue said:
"A 2 billion project was robbed, the stock price only fell 0.3%, and shareholders believe in you even more. Isn't this luck?"
Zhao Chen laughed:
"When you say that, it seems like you are a little lucky."
Shen Jue paused:
"But luck is also a part of strength. You laid your foundation too hard in the previous eight months, so this fall won't hurt."
She changed the subject:
"But don't be careless. Lu Shen is happy right now. When he reacts, he may continue to stare at you."
Zhao Chen nodded:
"I know."
Shen Jue said:
"There are still good companies on the market. Isn't Yunnan Agriculture still preparing for an IPO? Maybe there are still opportunities."
Zhao Chen glanced at Chen Xi, telling her to keep an eye on Yunnan Agriculture Group's every move.
"Yunnan Agriculture Group, we are following their IPO process together. It's rare that we thought of it together."
Shen Jue said:
"This will put my mind at ease. I just made a phone call to comfort you. I hung up."
Zhao Chen said:
"Thank you."
Shen Jue has hung up.
Su Wantang looked at him:
"Shen Jue, this person, speaks so often."
Zhao Chen smiled:
"The first connection is good. It's too tiring to go around."
He put down his phone and looked at Chen Xi:
"Go and call Song Zhongping, Liu Mingyu, and Chen Qiming to Small Meeting Room, and print out a few copies of the list of inefficient assets you prepared before."
