Chapter 587: 583. Everyone Has Gone Mad (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

The news that Zhang Ran had arrived in Hong Kong once again spread rapidly, and for a time, the citizens of Hong Kong, especially those who had lost money last time, cursed him loudly on the internet.

Zhang Ran was truly too easy to hate.

They would not reflect on why they chose to enter a stock market they knew had problems; they only knew that Zhang Ran was the sole winner this time, and since they had lost money, it must be Zhang Ran's fault.

Coupled with the fact that Zhang Ran was an outsider, and with people like Mu Jinyuan fanning the flames behind the scenes, such a situation was very easy to form.

Under these circumstances, some rather extreme reports were released, fabricating many unpleasant things; regardless of whether they were true or false, the people of Hong Kong now loved to read them.

Mu Jiatong was the mastermind behind these extreme reports, but he hid it well, and combined with the current atmosphere, not many people really noticed him.

Mu Jiatong now hated Zhang Ran intensely, and he also knew who his family relied on and how much ability he himself possessed.

If not for his older brother Mu Jinyuan, he, Mu Jiatong, would be nothing, and once Zhang Ran won, whether he, Mu Jiatong, could continue to live as he did now would depend on whether Zhang Ran allowed it, and judging from some of Zhang Ran's previous situations, that was very, very difficult.

Zhang Ran also saw these news reports, but he did not say much, nor did he even offer a single word of defense online, appearing as if he knew nothing at all.

"You really have a lot of composure," Prince Haiman said as he looked at Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran chuckled: "What else can I do? Get into a shouting match with them? Is there any point in that?"

"Fine, as long as you're alright," Prince Haiman said.

Zhang Ran put on a magnanimous air: "Small matter, how could I possibly take such things to heart?"

It would have been better if he hadn't spoken; as soon as he did, Prince Haiman immediately grew suspicious, "Are you holding back some evil scheme? You don't seem like the type to be this magnanimous."

"You are slandering me; I never fuss over these small matters," Zhang Ran said with dissatisfaction.

"Heh!" Prince Haiman was now certain that this guy was definitely holding back some evil scheme.

If one or two people were cursing him, Zhang Ran might not even bother to pay attention, but now that it had formed a trend, how could Zhang Ran possibly not care?

In any case, the Zhang Ran that Prince Haiman knew was never a magnanimous person; on the contrary, he had a rather vengeful personality.

When Zhang Ran arrived in Hong Kong, many people's nerves began to tighten; they knew that Zhang Ran would certainly not end things simply this time.

Sure enough, the very next day, Nianrun Group, the Zhang Ran System, and others all began to exert force, starting to snipe at the industries of those Galaxy Capital shareholders.

This exertion of force immediately frightened quite a few people; only then did they finally realize with clarity just how much energy Zhang Ran could leverage.

Every Group Company is not independent; they can influence many things, so many that when these Group Companies form a single force, they can frighten many people.

The Group Companies Zhang Ran chose were not selected without reason; besides their strength, it was also because they could help with this matter.

For a time, the business world began to surge with activity, and Zhang Ran gave these shareholders immense pressure right from the start.

He made them quickly shift most of their attention to their own enterprises rather than focusing on Galaxy Capital.

And as time went on, this pressure grew greater and greater, and everyone saw Zhang Ran's determination.

At the same time, they were all secretly guessing what kind of price Zhang Ran had paid to make big companies like Nianrun Group exert such great effort at this time.

This was no longer just helping; it was helping with all their might, as if they had all gone crazy.

Once Zhang Ran failed this time, the losses for these Group Companies would not be small, so they were all guessing what Zhang Ran had paid.

Yet Zhang Ran seemed to have vanished; after arriving in Hong Kong, he had no further movements, as if he had only come to take a look.

However, everyone knew this was not a normal phenomenon; Zhang Ran would definitely take action.

Sure enough, on the fourth day, Zhang Ran began his own movements.

Most of the shareholders of Galaxy Capital were from Hong Kong, so most of their industries were also listed in Hong Kong.

At this moment, Zhang Ran quickly invested the funds in his hands into the Hong Kong stock market, starting to snipe at the stocks of these companies.

On the first day, five billion in funds were invested, causing some commotion.

On the second day, ten billion in funds were invested, making many people start to stir restlessly once again.

On the third day, twenty billion in funds were invested, causing the Hong Kong stock market to have some turbulence once again.

Thirty-five billion in cash being smashed in could trigger a great many things.

Moreover, many people have short memories; now, while cursing Zhang Ran, they were beginning to hesitate whether to follow along, and they were all a bit worried about the previous situation appearing again, so many were wavering.

The market suffered a blow, and the stock market began to retreat step by step because Zhang Ran had sufficient funds.

For a time, these shareholders of Galaxy Capital fell into a dilemma.

They had all made preparations, but now they still felt a sense of helplessness; it was not that they were incompetent, but that they truly had not expected that groups like Nianrun would be willing to pay such a great price.

One must know that sniping at their own industries was not a good choice; regardless, unless these groups were truly acting recklessly, at most they would lose some things on their side, and groups like Nianrun would not gain any benefits either.

Of course, this also had a prerequisite, which was that they needed to take back the assets that had already been gathered; otherwise, in a situation of capital shortage, no one could guarantee anything.

But this would give Zhang Ran an opportunity, and they all saw that this was Zhang Ran's goal.

So they were now a bit hesitant, unable to make up their minds for a time.

By comparison, they certainly cared more about their own industries than about Galaxy Capital.

But if they just let Zhang Ran achieve his goal like this, they were also somewhat unwilling.

It was simply too stifling!

Fighting with Zhang Ran until now, they had been in a weak position from beginning to end; Zhang Ran's preparations were too thorough, giving them a feeling of having nowhere to bite.

However, this hesitation did not last long; on the fourth day, after Zhang Ran invested another twenty billion in funds, these shareholders could no longer hold on; they could not just watch as Zhang Ran sniped at their companies' stocks.

So on this day, these people came to Galaxy Capital once again and found Mu Jinyuan; they called it a consultation, but in reality, they had already made their decision in their hearts.
