AWB Chapter 240 Mr. Xu, Don’t Regret
Chapter 240 Mr. Xu, Don’t Regret
The first card is a pharmaceutical company, listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
The second one is a long distance freight company.
The last one is the insurance company.
Except for the first one, the next two are mainland stocks, but it is also very easy to buy them.
Zhang Zaihou said, "Since Mr. Li and Mr. Xu will both bear the consequences, they can also make a choice together. Let's discuss it carefully."
Li Chi whispered to Xu Yang, "Hong Kong stocks are Mr. Zhang's forte. I don't know much about them, but I've heard of the last two companies. This long-distance freight company is growing rapidly, and I heard it recently took on a big project. Let's choose this company."
Xu Yang shook his head and stared at the pharmaceutical companies listed on the Hong Kong stock market.
“No, we’ll choose Hong Kong stocks.”
"Are you crazy?"
Li Chi whispered, pulling Xu Yang's back to everyone, "Mr. Zhang is a man of his word. Once he agrees, there is no room for regret. Listen to me and choose a freight company."
He tried to dissuade him earnestly, but Xu Yang was determined.
"I know you're doing this for my own good, and I'm grateful for your increased bet, but I can't let you lose with me. We have to choose the pharmaceutical company!"
Not really that grateful.
When Xu Yang saw this pharmaceutical company listed on the Hong Kong stock market, he wished that Li Chi would increase Zhang Zaihou's investment so that he could make an extra million!
This pharmaceutical company was so famous in his previous life that even he, a person who knew nothing about pharmaceuticals, remembered its name.
"You know what you..."
Li Chi was anxious and was racking his brains to think of how to persuade Xu Yang.
Xu Yang turned around and said, "I've made my choice. I'll choose the pharmaceutical company!"
Zhang Zaihou made a nasal sound and tilted his ear to signal Xu Yang to say it again.
“Pharmaceutical company!”
Xu Yang said without hesitation, so quickly that even Li Chi had no time to interrupt him.
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Zaihou's hearty laughter echoed from the quiet hall. It took a while for him to stop smiling. "I wouldn't have chosen this Hong Kong stock, but never mind. Since you're young, I'll give you another chance."
As far as he knew, this pharmaceutical company had not developed any new drugs for a long time and had been living off its old assets. In this era where stagnation meant regression, it would sooner or later be delisted.
Moreover, Zhang Zaihou didn't believe that this company could make a new splash within seven days.
Xu Yang looked conflicted. When everyone thought he was going to change his mind, he said something shocking again: "Mr. Zhang, can I make a phone call?"
"You want to ask for external help?" Zhang Zaihou raised his eyebrows. This kid is really tricky. "Okay, go ahead."
Even if Xu Yang doesn't choose the pharmaceutical company, he is confident that he can win!
Xu Yang picked up his phone and walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window. He covered the receiver and called his assistant Xiao Liang. "Xiao Liang, can you help me check when XX Pharmaceutical Company, a Hong Kong-listed company, recently recruited volunteers for its clinical trials?"
The networks in China and Hong Kong are different, so it might be difficult for Xu Yang to check it himself.
But assistant Xiao Liang likes to watch baseball games on the Internet and has been caught by him many times. It should not be difficult for him to look up information about pharmaceutical companies in Hong Kong.
As long as he confirms the time, he can make his choice with peace of mind.
Just after hanging up the phone, the flea-like Liu Songtao came out again:
"Mr. Xu, why are you doing this? If you had done what we said from the beginning, that 10% stake would have sold for million at the market price. Now, you can only get million in the end."
Ma Yaokun didn't say anything, but a look of satisfaction crossed his face.
The people on the circular sofa nodded secretly, and the others probably had the same reaction.
Stocks outside the mainland are Zhang Zaihou's specialty. Even he says that this Hong Kong stock is not good, so it definitely is not good.
Some people couldn't help but joke and started whispering:
"Could it be that Xu Yang is giving up completely and planning to give up before he even starts?"
"That's probably the case. He's young, and it's embarrassing to give up in front of so many people, so he just has to bite the bullet and choose."
"Oh, I thought he was so powerful, but it turns out he was just bluffing."
"It's just pitiful that Li Chi had to wade into this mess. Now, if Xu Yang loses, his shares might be in jeopardy too!"
Of course, some people also reserved their opinions: "Not necessarily. Look at how calm Xu Yang is. Besides, he even made a phone call. I think he was in a hurry to ask for help. He will definitely change his mind in a while!"
"So what if we ask for external help? Is there an investor in Jianghai City more powerful than Mr. Zhang?"
"That's right, Xu Yang is still too young, it's not surprising that he lost."
"Yeah, and if we win we'll get a million for free."
The point is not the one million, but the one million that Zhang Zaihou gave voluntarily, and this seven-day gambling game will become a topic of pride for them at the dinner table in the future!
No matter what others said, Xu Yang couldn't hear it.
He simply said to Li Chi, "Uncle, do you have any friends who want Hongyun stocks? Let's team up and kick Mr. Liu out!"
What a noisy thing, he never stops talking!
But his words made everyone present laugh. The hall was filled with laughter, and all the playful eyes were on Liu Songtao.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Liu Songtao wanted to use Zhang Zaihou to put pressure on Xu Yang, but he ended up losing more than he gained. Not only did he lose Zhang Zaihou as an ally, he also developed a rift with Xu Yang, who was also an investor of Hongyun.
"you you you--"
This laughter was like a slap in the face. Liu Songtao's face turned red with anger, but he couldn't find any words to refute.
He didn't even know how Xu Yang persuaded Zhang Zaihou to cancel the joint investment, and he really didn't dare to say whether Xu Yang could do something to kick him out.
Besides, with so many investors here, it's possible that others have already set their sights on his stocks...
After much thought, Liu Songtao finally had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"Drip-drip-"
Xu Yang's phone rang, and when he opened it, he saw a message from Xiao Liang:
"I checked with my boss. The pharmaceutical company's most recent clinical trial was four and a half years ago, and this batch seems to be in the final stage of the same trial."
"Also, the recruitment conditions for the experiment are strange. They only recruit women!"
Four years is exactly the longest period in the final stage of clinical trials for general drugs.
If the clinical trial is successful, reported, and passed the review, this batch of drugs can be approved for production and marketed.
It may not be on the market for half a year, but there will be news soon.
Xu Yang turned around and said, "Mr. Zhang, I still choose the pharmaceutical company!"
Zhang Zaihou looked at Li Chi.
Li Chi spread out his hands to show that he had no objection.
"Okay, then it's my turn." Zhang Zaihou picked up the freight company's card and said, "I choose the freight company. Mr. Xu, don't regret it."
He gave Xu Yang one last chance: "Since you dare to bet with me, I won't look at the closing price. We each buy 100,000 yuan worth of stocks. As long as Mr. Xu doesn't lose money when he sells them, you win."
In other words, even if Xu Yang still sold it for 100,000, he would have won.
Xu Yang nodded: "Okay, then each of us will buy 100,000."
