Chapter 51: A chance to become a billionaire

In Fudi Battery's development history, an accidental fire became a turning point.

Half a year ago, a sudden fire broke out in the Fudi Battery laboratory, and this disaster unexpectedly led to the successful research and development of Solid-state battery.

This breakthrough, for Fudi Battery, was undoubtedly a revolutionary change.

Once mass-produced, Fudi Battery is expected to quickly grow into the world's number one power battery company, with revenue easily increasing by thousands or tens of thousands of times, at least creating a company with a market value exceeding one hundred million.

Liu Guojun, as the Deputy Factory Director of Fudi Battery headquarters, held 2% of the factory's shares, but his ambition went far beyond that.

In his eyes, the successful research and development of Solid-state battery was the opening drumbeat of a wealth feast, and he longed to get the largest piece of the cake in this feast.

He knew that once Solid-state battery was mass-produced, Fudi Battery's market value would skyrocket like a rocket, at least creating a company with a market value exceeding one hundred million.

This huge temptation of wealth made Liu Guojun's greed grow wildly like weeds in his heart.

Relying solely on his existing shares, he felt far from satisfying his desire for wealth.

After much deliberation, a bold and greedy plan quietly took shape in his mind.

He turned his attention to the stock market, deciding to use the opportunity of Fudi Battery announcing the imminent mass production of Solid-state battery to acquire as many circulating shares on the market as possible.

This way, once the news was announced and the stock price soared, he would gain unimaginable huge profits.

To achieve this plan, he found Zhang Zhiguo, a classmate who served as a director at an investment company.

The two hit it off immediately, like two sharks sniffing blood, and quickly began to plot.

Their plan was elaborate.

First, they released news of the laboratory fire, attempting to create a panic atmosphere and make Fudi Battery's stock price hit the daily limit down.

This news was like a bombshell, stirring up huge waves in the stock market, causing panic and worry among investors.

Immediately after, they released some of their shares, further suppressing the stock price.

Investors in the market, seeing the stock price plummet, fell into panic and began to follow suit, selling off their shares.

Liu Guojun and Zhang Zhiguo, on the other hand, were secretly pleased, waiting for the best time to swoop in like vultures and acquire these panic-sold shares at a low price.

In their vision, as long as the news of Fudi Battery's successful Solid-state battery research and development was not leaked, this plan could be implemented smoothly, truly seamless.

After all, Fudi Battery was originally just a small battery factory on the verge of bankruptcy and ignored by everyone, and they were confident that no big shot would pay attention to it.

They were immersed in their greedy plan, as if they had already seen huge wealth continuously flowing into their pockets, fantasizing about becoming people standing at the top of the wealth pyramid.

Just when Liu Guojun and Zhang Zhiguo thought their plan was about to succeed and the fruits of victory were within reach, the stock market suddenly changed.

A mysterious fund, like a rampaging beast, unexpectedly broke into this capital hunting game without any warning.

Initially, Liu Guojun had not yet detected the threat of this mysterious force.

He looked at the subtle fluctuations in the stock price, thinking that Zhang Zhiguo was secretly manipulating it according to the plan.

However, when Zhang Zhiguo's call came, the despair and shock in his urgent voice hit him hard like a heavy hammer.

"The plan failed!" Zhang Zhiguo's voice trembled, as if all his strength had been drained.

Liu Guojun instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his mind blank.

He gripped the phone tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging from the effort, his lips trembling slightly, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence:

"How is that possible? What on earth happened?"

It turned out that this mysterious fund, in a short period, like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves, frantically bought 95% of Fudi Battery's 29% circulating shares, which is 27.55%.

This crazy move instantly unbalanced the already fragile stock market ecosystem.

The large number of shares that were being sold were swallowed up by this mysterious fund at an astonishing speed, trading volume increased sharply, and the stock price also began to show subtle fluctuations.

Liu Guojun and Zhang Zhiguo's meticulously planned low-price acquisition plan instantly vanished into thin air.

They had originally planned to buy all 29% of the shares at a low price, but in the end, they only bought less than 1% of the shares.

Besides the 27.55% bought by the mysterious fund, their 1%, the remaining small portion was in the hands of some retail investors.

Although 27.55% of the shares are currently only worth about one hundred million, in the near future, Fudi Battery can foreseeably become a top enterprise with a market value of one hundred million.

Then the value of this portion of shares will be close to 300 billion!

A hundred-billionaire, if the plan had been successfully implemented, this hundred-billionaire would have been himself.

After planning for more than half a year, just when success was within reach, it was snatched away by someone else.

Liu Guojun collapsed onto the chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, his heart churning with anger and regret like surging tides.

He couldn't understand who was behind all this, so precisely disrupting their plan.

His mind kept replaying the wealth figures that were about to be obtained but then instantly disappeared, each figure like a sharp knife, brutally cutting at his heart.

At this moment, the air in the office seemed to freeze, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The sun outside the window was still bright, but its light could not penetrate Liu Guojun's heart, which was shrouded in darkness.

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the effort, and he kept cursing under his breath:

"Damn it, what on earth is going on? How could such a fund suddenly appear?"

That mysterious fund was like a mysterious ghost, coming and going without a trace, but it completely shattered his greedy dream, leaving behind only shattered illusions and endless pain.

...

The news of Fudi Battery's successful research and development of Solid-state battery and its imminent mass production, once announced, instantly exploded like a bombshell, stirring up huge waves in the financial market.

This news was like a fire, igniting people's desire for wealth and triggering a frantic capital chase.

In major stock exchanges, Fudi Battery's stock price soared to the daily limit like a rocket ignited on the screens.

The bright red numbers were like burning flames, stinging the eyes of countless investors.

In the trading hall, people's faces were filled with shock, regret, and unwillingness.

Those investors who had once disdained Fudi Battery were now beating their chests and stamping their feet, regretting that they hadn't discovered this potential stock earlier.

Their eyes were filled with loss and despair, and they kept muttering:

"If only I had bought it earlier, even just a little, it would be easy to multiply it by thousands or tens of thousands of times in the near future. I actually missed an opportunity to become a billionaire and achieve financial freedom!"

In various corners of the city, countless investors watched the locked daily limit on their computers or phones, their hearts filled with regret like a surging tide.

They recalled their past neglect of Fudi Battery.

Some angrily slammed the table, loudly cursing their stupidity;

Some sat blankly in their chairs, their eyes hollow, as if they had lost their souls;

Others paced back and forth in the room, muttering to themselves, trying to find a shred of comfort.

In a small investor communication group, messages scrolled like snowflakes.

Investors expressed their regrets one after another, their words filled with helplessness and sighs.

"How could I be so stupid? I clearly had a chance to buy in before, but I missed it.

Now, I can only watch others make money and worry myself sick."

"Me too, I thought this stock had no future at the time, and now I'm regretting it so much.

This is fate, I'm destined to be without this wealth."

...

At this moment, Lin Yang sat on the balcony drinking tea, leisurely basking in the sun.

He checked news reports about Fudi Battery from various media outlets on his phone.

The comments below were all regretting not buying Fudi Battery shares earlier, just like missing out on buying Bitcoin for 5 cents each a few years ago, once again missing an opportunity to become a billionaire and achieve financial freedom.

Lin Yang smiled. If he didn't have the weekly intelligence system, he would probably be like those people in the comments below the news now.
