Chapter 411: Chapter 202: Snatching Food from the Tiger’s Mouth_2

Managerial-level employees also received a food subsidy of 100 yuan a day. Calculated over 22 working days, this amounted to another 2,200 yuan.

A part-time job that wasn’t very demanding, earning 7,000 a month, was pretty decent.

Even by 2025, no one would think that was too little, right?

After handling Lü Shuli’s matter, Zhao Zhongshi immediately handed a contract to Han Lie with a smile.

"President Han, this is your contract, personally drafted by Attorney Liu. Would you take a look?"

Han Lie flipped through it casually and saw that the monthly salary column indicated 150,000 yuan per month.

Looking further, he noticed it said twenty-four salaries per year.

"Not suitable."

When Han Lie handed back the contract, he shook his head. "Too high, unnecessary."

Zhao Zhongshi didn’t dare to take it back and hurriedly waved his hands. "President Han, this is a collective decision by the shareholders. Your skill level justifies this price. It’s purely business."

A top fund manager’s fixed annual salary was indeed more than 3.6 million yuan.

But the problem was, Han Lie still hadn’t completely proven his ability to profit when handling large funds.

So he couldn’t command such a high salary anywhere; an annual salary of 1.5 million yuan was a significant milestone.

Were Old Liu, Old Sun, and their group idiots? On the contrary, these guys were too cunning.

They had figured Han Lie would soon establish a formal fund company, and Zhongcheng’s transitional period wouldn’t be very long, so they made an offer that was favorable yet cost them little.

Calculated over three months, it was actually just a salary of 450,000 yuan for Han Lie.

With such a short operational period for the company, how could they justify twenty-four salaries? It would be shameless to even ask!

What they would actually pay was just the regular salary for those few months.

That’s why Han Lie resolutely disagreed. For a mere four or five hundred thousand, I should owe them a favor? I’m not that foolish!

"Alright, I’ll have the same salary as Manager Jiao. We both get a commission, so there’s no need to worry about us not making money, right, Manager Jiao?"

"Yes. I have full confidence in Teacher Han."

Jiao Fangyan smiled softly, nodding in agreement, without mentioning herself.

However, whenever she spoke, her feminine grace radiated naturally, making her impossible to ignore.

Liang Wu quietly observed Lü Shuli and Jiao Fangyan, silently speculating about their relationships with the boss, as well as the boss’s thoughts about them.

Jealousy is out of the question; if needed, she wouldn’t bat an eyelid helping the boss tidy the bedsheets—no matter who was lying on them.

Then she noticed that Beauty Lü’s gaze towards Han Lie seemed a bit off.

In fact, Lü Shuli had a quiet personality; she was a very composed girl who didn’t easily reveal her emotions.

But thanks to her innate sensitivity, Liang Wu still sensed something unusual.

The next one to share his bed? Liang Wu kept the question to herself.

「...」

Next, Han Lie took Jiao Fangyan on a tour of the trading floor; the others did not follow.

No non-trading department employees, including General Manager and legal representative Zhao Zhongshi, had access to the trading floor.

The Securities Regulatory Commission’s management wasn’t at its strictest yet. A few years later, trading floors would not only be under comprehensive surveillance and direct regulation, but any slight discrepancies would also have to be reported and explained.

So, it was most comfortable for hot money to operate on its own, but even the big shots in hot money lacked the kind of influence held by powerful private equity firms...

Since Jiao Fangyan had signed the contract, Han Lie promptly informed her of the operational plan.

Wei Hua shares? Jiao Fangyan mused, her thoughtful expression quite alluring.

She immediately turned on her computer and, right in front of Han Lie, began analyzing the K-line chart.

Since it wasn’t during trading hours and lacked minute-by-minute details, it was actually difficult to discern the main players’ intentions at that point.

However, Jiao Fangyan still noticed something.

"You think there’s a possibility of a further breakout at this position? That would require very high volume, and it might be more loss than gain. With the current market conditions, plus the company’s share reduction announcement, what’s the point of continuing to drive the price up? It’s purely to lure people in to take over the shares."

"The main players will definitely continue to drive it up."

Han Lie was full of confidence, almost to the point of being blindly so.

Jiao Fangyan was skeptical and slightly furrowed her lovely brows. "I would like to hear the details."

Han Lie took the mouse and drew a line on the K-line chart.

"Because the main players’ average cost is here!"

Jiao Fangyan glanced at the price level indicated by the horizontal line—11.5 yuan—and her expression changed dramatically. "How could it be that high?"

"Why couldn’t it be?"

Han Lie smiled. "The listed company’s share reduction was taken over by Zexi—at least 8%, both overtly and covertly, at an average price of around 12.5 yuan.

"They started driving the price up from 6 yuan. Due to the listed company’s cooperation, the main players’ initial positions weren’t high, but the trading costs of pumping the price were not insignificant.

"If they had taken profits before 12 yuan, they would have made a decent gain. However, they had to provide an exit for the company executives, so not only could they not sell, but they also had to stabilize the share price at that level.

"All things considered, their current holding cost is definitely above 11 yuan, and their position exceeds 15% of the total circulating shares.

"If they don’t want to end up becoming de facto major shareholders of Wei Hua through their trading, they must continue to drive up the price..."

A peculiar glint flashed in Jiao Fangyan’s eyes.

"How do you know President Xu doesn’t want to become a shareholder of Wei Hua? The Xu family controls Juheng Shares and Ningde Zhongbai. Mightn’t they take this opportunity to control Wei Hua as well?"

Han Lie chuckled.

"Juheng Technology is a key enterprise in the National Torch Plan software industry base, a leader in optomechanical integration, and a National Economic and Trade Commission laser processing industry-university-research base.

"Ningde Zhongbai is President Xu’s foundation in his hometown, crucial for establishing connections with the local government, enhancing his image, and maintaining local influence.

"How can Wei Hua compare with those two?

"Solely based on a restructuring concept?

"If a genuine restructuring were happening, the actual controller wouldn’t reduce their holdings at the current price point. They’d wait for a trading suspension—that would be much better."
