Smiling slightly, Zhang Weimin continued, "Don't rush to speak just yet, listen to what I have to say first. A while ago, you shorted the stock of Sihai Group, and only a few days later, trouble struck Sihai Group, causing its stock price to plummet into the abyss. Later, you acquired Jinzhong Village, and within days, the subway line was extended to Jinzhong Village, forcing Hengda Group to buy it from you at a dozen times the premium just to develop it. I won't cite other examples—let's just look at these two cases. Compare these two instances with your shorting of Tesla. First you shorted Tesla with fifty times leverage, and then Tesla ran into trouble, causing its stock price to crash by forty percent in four days! So, in the face of such identical patterns, is it really just a coincidence?"
Faced with Zhang Weimin's line of reasoning, Ye Chen was left speechless.
Although he was a seasoned fox who had lived two lives, in front of Zhang Weimin, who had spent half a lifetime in politics, no matter how cunning a fox he was, he had no way to dismantle Zhang Weimin's argument in this situation.
