On Sunday morning, the fire of public opinion not only failed to extinguish, but in fact grew stronger.
Obviously, it was Lu Shen who added fuel to the fire.
Lin Wanqing's accusation video was ranked No. 1 in searches.
The three children's indictment was interpreted by major legal bloggers in turn.
The tax influencer's post about "one hundred million doubts" has been forwarded more than 100,000 times.
The workers' wage-demanding group has grown to 2,000 people.
What added fuel to the fire was the personal fate of Lu Shen.
At nine o'clock in the morning, he sent a long message Weibo, and the picture was an old photo of himself when giving a speech at Zhengfa University.
Lu Shen V:
"I saw Ms. Lin's video yesterday and I couldn't sleep all night. As an alumnus of Zhengfa University, I feel deeply saddened.
Ms. Lin was Finance Director of Henglong and served the company for thirteen years.
Now it has ended up like this - the 50 million investment has been diluted to 20 million, the three children are suing their father, the workers are owed wages, and the tax issue is unresolved.
I know Ms. Lin, she is a kind-hearted and kind-hearted woman.
I also know Zhao Chen, he is my junior student.
I couldn't remain silent when I saw my juniors treating "orphans and widowed mothers" like this.
Some people say this is a business practice.
But the bottom line of business behavior is not to bully the weak.
It's legal and compliant. It's about respecting the contract.
I don't know if there are any tax problems with Henglong, I don't know when the workers' wages will be paid, and I don't know if the demands of the three children are reasonable.
But I know that if a company is involved in equity disputes, tax reports, workers demanding wages, and family lawsuits at the same time - it must have something wrong.
Zhao Chen, if you see this Weibo, I want to say to you:
Stop your losses in time and you will be safe. Bullying orphans and widows is not what Zhengfa University teaches you."
One hour after this post Weibo was posted, it received over 100,000 retweets and 200,000 likes.
The comments section went completely crazy.
"Lu Shen said it well! This is the responsibility of a senior!"
"Zhao Chen come out and apologize!"
"If orphans and widows are bullied, are they still human beings?"
"Henglong It's really over this time."
"Lu Shen This is what we want to do for heaven."
"Zhengfa University light!"
"Compare it and make a judgment."
Lu Shen has firmly placed himself on the moral high ground.
He doesn't need to prove anything.
Just standing there and pointing the finger is enough.
Chen Xi is always monitoring the development of public opinion. After she saw Weibo of Lu Shen, she immediately found Zhao Chen.
She handed the phone to Zhao Chen:
"Zhao Zong, look."
Zhao Chen took the phone and scrolled down page by page.
Weibo of Lu Shen.
There was a one-sided scolding in the comment area.
Those words like "orphans and widows", "bullying the weak" and "Zhengfa University light" are as piercing as needles.
He returned the phone to Chen Xi with no expression on his face.
Chen Xi couldn't help but say:
"He is so shameless. He is one of our Short Selling people, and yet he pretends to be like a saint."
Zhao Chen leans on the back of the chair:
"He knew we couldn't produce evidence."
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment:
"But didn't we find out his position?"
Zhao Chen looked at her:
"The position can only prove that someone is in Short Selling, but can it prove that the position belongs to him? Can it prove that he is the mastermind behind it?"
Chen Xi was silent.
Morgan and Goldman Sachs will not go out to provide proof, and the channels through which they obtain position information cannot be made public.
They cannot prove that Lin Wanqing was ordered by Lu Shen.
It also cannot prove that those media outlets were bribed by Lu.
It cannot be proven that the workers were instigated by Lu Shen.
The law is about evidence, not stories.
"Then what should we do?" she asked.
Zhao Chen was silent for a few seconds.
Then he spoke:
"We still need to release the position data."
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment:
"Now?"
Zhao Chen nodded:
"Now."
He looked out the window:
"Let him continue to pretend to be a saint. But we can mix the water. When the paper can no longer contain the fire, he will fall."
Chen Xi's eyes lit up:
"I'll do it right away."
Soon.
An anonymous post appeared quietly at Henglong Stock Bar.
<Exclusive: Who is sniping Henglong?>
The post implies that Short Selling is Lu Shen, and the data in it is extremely detailed:
Seats via Morgan Stanley Short Selling: 21 million shares
Pass Goldman Sachs seats Short Selling: 15 million shares
Pass China International Capital Corporation seats Short Selling: 8 million shares
Other decentralized accounts: approximately 17 million shares
Total: 61 million shares
Average cost:18.7 Hong Kong Dollar
Current floating loss: approximately 120 million Hong Kong Dollar
The post ended with:
"This 'righteous senior' who scolded Zhao Chen on Weibo for bullying orphans and widowed mothers,
On the other hand, Secondary Market Short Selling Henglong holds 61 million shares of Short Position, with a floating loss of 120 million.
He said he just couldn't stand it?
No, he just loves money more.
Mr. Lu Shen, is your moral high ground standing on Short Position?"
One hour after this post was posted, the number of retweets exceeded 50,000.
The trend in the comments section began to change subtly.
"What the hell? Real or fake?"
"61 million shares? 120 million floating losses? Then he scolded Zhao Chen because..."
"To snipe Henglong! Can't you even tell?"
"So Lin Wanqing was ordered by him?"
"It's not necessarily an instigation, but it definitely has something to do with it."
"Then what kind of saint is he putting on Weibo?"
"It's so disgusting. Short Selling at the same time."
"Is there any real evidence? Can the position data be trusted?"
"These seats are all open to the public and can be checked."
"What the hell, can retail investors find out?"
"Anyway, I believe it. This person Lu Shen is so fake."
The voices on both sides started to see each other.
Some people say Lu Shen is a righteous senior, while others say he is a hypocrite.
Some people say that the position data is a rumor, while others say that there is no smoke without fire.
On the Internet, there is a turmoil.
Soon, Lu Shen made a targeted reply.
Lu Shen V:
"I just saw someone spreading so-called 'position data' online.
I hereby solemnly declare: I have never Short Selling Henglong, and the above data are pure rumors.
I have entrusted a lawyer to fix the evidence and will hold those who spread the rumors legally accountable.
Those who want to divert attention in this way have made the wrong calculation.
What happened to Ms. Lin is real, the workers' wages are real, and the tax issues are real.
The more you behave like this, the more it shows that you have a guilty conscience."
After this post Weibo was posted, the comment area started to boil again.
"Lu Shen hard!"
"Support rights protection!"
"Those who spread rumors are so disgusting."
"But the position data looks quite real..."
"What's real? Can you believe it?"
"Anyway, I believe Lu Shen."
"I believe it too."
There was a huge quarrel between the two sides.
But there is one fact that is quietly changing--
Cracks began to appear in the originally one-sided public opinion.
Chen Xi looked at the real-time public opinion data and raised the corner of his mouth slightly:
"Zhao Zong, the wind direction has begun to change."
Zhao Chen leans on the sofa:
"Talk about it."
Chen Xi pointed at the screen:
"Before, more than 90% of the people scolded us. Now, 30% of the people scolded Lu Shen. The two factions are fighting, and each has its own reasons."
She paused:
"Although there are still many people scolding us, at least it's not one-sided."
Zhao Chen nodded:
"That's enough."
Chen Xi looked at him:
"What's next?"
Zhao Chen stood up and walked to the window:
"Wait."
He looked out the window:
"Wait until he continues to play his cards."
Chen Xi asked:
"Then what if he stops?"
Zhao Chen shook his head:
"He won't."
He turned around:
"He lost 120 million, how could he stop?"
Chen Xi thoughtfully:
"So you released the position data not to make him admit defeat, but to force him to continue?"
Zhao Chen said nothing.
But the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
Outside the window, the winter sunshine is just right.
Lu Shen, don't you want to play?
Then play bigger.
