Smiling, Zhang Weimin continued, "Don't speak in such a hurry; hear me out first. A few days after you shorted the stocks of Sihai Group, the company ran into trouble and its stock price plummeted. Not long after you acquired Jinzhong Village, the subway line was extended straight there, forcing Hengda Group to buy it from you at a dozen times the premium just to develop it. I won't list any other examples—let's just look at these two. Compare them to your shorting of Tesla: first you shorted Tesla with fifty times leverage, and four days later, Tesla ran into trouble, causing its stock price to crash by forty percent! So, with such identical patterns, is that really just a coincidence?"
Faced with Zhang Weimin's line of reasoning, Ye Chen was left speechless.
Although he was an old fox who had lived two lifetimes, in front of Zhang Weimin—who had spent half a lifetime in politics—no matter how much of an old fox he was, he had no way to refute Zhang Weimin's argument.
