May 4th, 21: 30 PM. There were still two and a half hours before the Hero's World's Open Beta.
However, before that, there was an equally important matter that needed to be taken care of.
When the Nasdaq Stock Exchange opened, Shi Lei and Mu Shuang paid close attention to the trend of AMD's shares. They were prepared to buy AMD's shares at the start of the market and try to stir up the overall volatility of AMD's shares in the shortest time possible.
Mu Shuang controlled the first offshore company. She easily bought 10 million shares at the price of $2.03 on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. The whole process was quite easy and there was no resistance.
The purchase of ten million shares into the NASDAQ stock market did not pull up AMD's share price. This was a sensitive period, and AMD did not have any good news. The purchase of ten million shares was not enough to shake the market price.
After all, AMD's share price had been low for a long time.
"You bought 10 million shares just like that?" Shi Lei stood behind Mu Shuang and asked in a surprised tone.
Shi Lei originally thought that it would be difficult, but he did not expect it to be so simple. The operation was very easy. It was not as difficult as hacking or defending.
Shi Lei did not think about it. If the buying and selling of shares were not foolproof, how would it be convenient for those grocery shopping aunties?
"Of course!
How difficult do you think it is? "
Mu Shuang continued to operate. Once again, she greedily bought 20 million shares at the price of $2.03.
In less than ten minutes, Mu Shuang had bought 30 million shares. It was equivalent to two days of trading of AMD's shares.
After buying 30 million shares, Dream Entertainment now owned more than 4.5% of the total shares. It was close to a quarter of the shares that were freely traded. It could be considered a relatively large shareholder.
On the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, nearly a quarter of AMD's freely traded shares were held by Dream Entertainment. This finally pulled up AMD's share price.
AMD's share price rose from $2.03 to $2.10. It was equivalent to a 3% increase.
Shi Lei said nervously, "Mu Shuang, AMD's share price has risen by 7 cents. What should we do?"
Shi Lei, who knew nothing about stocks, was worried that AMD's stock would continue to rise and eventually exceed the funds prepared by Dream Entertainment.
If that happened, Dream Entertainment would not be able to acquire AMD!
"Big idiot, what's the hurry?"
Mu Shuang switched to another offshore company and offered to buy the shares at the price of $2.10. However, the results were not very good. She only received 7 million shares, which was equivalent to 0.967% of the total capital stock.
However, it once again pushed AMD's share price up to 2.28 USD.
This share price was already close to AMD's previous share price. The strong rising trend of the share price caused the individual investors to blindly chase after it. They started to sell their shares and waited for AMD's share price to rise further.
Shareholders usually have a blind point of view, which is to chase after the rise and not the fall. As long as the share price was rising, the shareholders' confidence in the share price would mysteriously increase by many times. This was especially true for low-priced shares.
The current trend of AMD's share price was like this. When AMD's share price fell, the individual investors all fled. They were afraid that they would be deeply trapped.
Now that AMD's share price was rising, the individual investors who were watching AMD's share price were either reluctant to sell or following it into the market.
This situation caused AMD's share price to rise again. Before Mu Shuang made a move, the share price had risen to 2.58 USD. It had exceeded AMD's share price before it fell.
Looking at the 2.58 USD share price, Shi Lei did not understand and asked, "Mu Shuang, isn't this price a little high?"
"It's not high!"
Mu Shuang directly listed a premium of 2.80 USD and bought AMD's shares at a high price on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
The price of 2.80 USD had exceeded the current market price and immediately brought in 16 million shares for Mu Shuang. It was about 2.21% of the total share capital. This meant that Dream Entertainment had already acquired 8.70% of AMD's shares.
After this order was completed, AMD's share price rose again. It rushed to 2.99 USD. It was only one cent away from the 3.00 USD mark.
AMD's share price had not broken through the '3' era for some time. It had been hovering around the '2' era for a very, very long time!
"Shi Lei, do we have to buy AMD?" Mu Shuang paused for a moment and turned to ask Shi Lei.
Shi Lei nodded vigorously. "We have to buy AMD and bring AMD into the embrace of Mirage Technology. This is an important strategic plan for the company."
Once AMD was brought into Mirage Technology's system, the first step would be to support Dream Entertainment. They would be able to develop professional gaming equipment for Dream Entertainment and provide the best optimization plan.
This alone would allow AMD to be like a phoenix rising from the ashes. It would be reborn from the flames and get rid of the company's current predicament.
In addition to Dream Entertainment, AMD's chips could also provide Shi Lei with the processing chips and even custom-made technology needed by The First Light, Ironman, Shadow Dragon, Explorer, Fearless, and so on.
Some special motherboards and chip compatibility technology could only be custom-made.
There was another reason. Dream Entertainment's next generation of somatosensory operating platform would switch from a refractive projector display scheme to a LIP lens information processor.
If they wanted to develop a LIP lens information processor, they would have to obtain the support of a custom-made chip.
Although Shi Lei could work with AMD and Intel to jointly plan a customized solution, he could still work with Intel.
However, through cooperation, confidentiality could not be guaranteed. There was a possibility that the LIP lens information processor would be leaked and used by other companies.
If he had control of AMD, the security of the LIP lens information processor would be fully guaranteed!
"Shi Lei, if we want to acquire AMD, how much risk do we have to take?
We might lose more than one billion USD. Are you willing to do that? "Mu Shuang asked seriously.
Shi Lei also became serious. He confirmed, "Mu Shuang, just do it!
No matter how big the loss is, I can take it.
At most, we will become a major shareholder of AMD. "
Becoming a major shareholder of AMD was also the next best thing.
"Alright!"
Mu Shuang switched to the third offshore company. Of the first two offshore companies, one controlled 30 million shares, while the other controlled 23 million shares.
On the Nasdaq stock exchange, a purchase order for AMD's shares was listed at a high price. A purchase order for 50 million shares was listed at 3.66 USD per share.
This price had already stimulated some speculators. Their purchase price was lower than 2.50 USD per share.
Now, each share could earn more than 1 USD. Some speculators started to sell their shares.
The individual investors also started to sell their shares. After all, AMD had not set a price of 3.66 USD per share for a long time!
Half an hour had passed. Mu Shuang's purchase order for 50 million shares had not been digested by the market. Even though it was a relatively high price, it only acquired 44 million shares.
At 22: 30 PM, Xia's time, AMD's share price had soared to 3.68 USD per share.
The opening price was 2.03 USD, an increase of 81.28%!
This crazy increase attracted the attention of some related people. They started to guess what was going on that caused AMD's share price to fluctuate.
Some stock related people thought that an investment group had gotten some insider information that AMD and Dream Entertainment were about to reach a cooperation agreement. This would push AMD's share price up, and they would benefit from AMD's share price.
These analysts also joined the battle for AMD's share price.
As for Dream Entertainment, they had acquired 107 million AMD's shares. The total acquisition amount was 301,540,000 USD. This only accounted for slightly more than 10% of the total loan amount. However, the total number of shares they had acquired had reached 14.78%.
If they followed the previous acquisition situation, using 3 billion USD to acquire AMD was indeed possible.
However, AMD's share price had risen by 81.28%. It was still increasing, even though the speed was very slow.
"Mu Shuang, based on the current situation, we don't have enough money!" Shi Lei said worriedly.
Mu Shuang smiled confidently. "Don't worry. 3 billion USD is definitely enough.
As long as we repeatedly suppress AMD's share price and clear out the individual investors and speculators, we can acquire AMD at a low price. "
As she spoke, she keyed in the account information of the fourth offshore company on the computer. Once again, she listed 50 million shares at 4.08 USD.
From 3.68 USD to 4.08 USD, an increase of 40 cents per share. This price was more than double the opening price.
Almost all the individual investors chose to cash out. AMD's current situation was not fated to be in the "4" era. Even if they reached an agreement with Dream Entertainment, it would be difficult for them to enter the "4" era.
This did not mean that Dream Entertainment was not helping AMD enough. It was just that AMD's current situation was very bad. Their technology was lagging behind Intel, and they had a lot of debt outside.
The individual investors retreated. The remaining speculators were like sharks that smelled blood. Not only did they not cash out, but they also followed Mu Shuang and bought AMD's shares at a high price.
These speculators regarded Mu Shuang as a manipulator who knew the inside story. They wanted to make a fortune with Mu Shuang. At least, they wanted to have a share of the profits.
Even though Mu Shuang was someone who knew the inside story, Mu Shuang's acquisition of AMD was definitely not for the sake of profiting, but for the sake of controlling AMD.
Therefore, these speculators were doomed to a tragedy …
