Otherwise, with the capabilities of Gu Xin and Gu Si, in this stock market battle, they could very likely reap billions in funds. Where did these funds come from? Aren't they all provided by those retail investors?

This time, Gu Bai acted only as a manipulator. In the end, the money from those retail investors flowed into the pockets of another batch of retail investors.

Zhu Hongye looked at the stock market in front of him, which had hit the limit down but sell orders continued unabated. His vision darkened, and a feeling of near fainting surged up.

A fund of 1.2 billion still couldn't withstand Gu Bai's offensive; Hongye Building Materials' stock market collapsed!

At this point, board members standing by also all understood that in this stock market battle, they had lost utterly.

In an instant, the second-largest shareholder standing at the forefront spoke coldly towards Zhu Hongye, who was still staring blankly at the computer, "Chairman Zhu, regarding this company's stock market crash, you must take main responsibility. If you can't give the board a satisfactory answer, just resign from the chairman position directly!"

Zhu Hongye slowly lifted his head, looking at the shareholders in front of him, remaining silent.

After days of being exhausted and stimulated by this bunch of useless team members, he blacked out and fell directly, fainting. Before passing out, he seemed to see Gu Bai standing in front of him, coldly sneering, mocking his overestimation of his capabilities.

The crowd watched as Zhu Hongye collapsed to the ground, also in a state of panic.

No matter how fiercely power struggles and responsibility shuffling occurred within the board, nearly everyone agreed that currently, the company's state only allowed Zhu Hongye to serve as the backbone; no one else was suitable.

As the sound of the 120 emergency car faded into the distance, Hongye Building Materials hadn't fallen, but Zhu Hongye collapsed in front of it first.

.................

One day later.

Zhu Hongye woke up in the hospital room.

Beside the hospital bed, apart from Liu Xianggui sitting next to him, there were also several company assistants.

The first thing Zhu Hongye did upon waking was immediately ask the assistant next to him, "How is the company stock market?"

The assistant glanced at the still very weak Zhu Hongye, hesitated for a moment, and placed the laptop next to him in front of him. It was best to let him see for himself now. Otherwise, if he got stimulated, leading to him not catching his breath and being taken away, who would be responsible?

Zhu Hongye took the laptop, and the large headline on the cover was imprinted directly into his eyes.

"According to our reporter, Hongye Building Materials' Chairman Zhu Hongye was formally hospitalized yesterday due to elevated blood pressure. Currently, we have not received information from anyone related to Zhu Hongye. We will continue to follow up with detailed coverage, so please stay informed."

"Is the stock market turmoil of Hongye Building Materials a natural market reaction, or is capital manipulation controlling everything?"

"Hongye Building Materials continues to decline, reaching the lowest value in recent years. The total market value now stands at only 5.7 billion, with experts predicting a decline to 2 billion in the upcoming trading days!"

Hongye Building Materials has already become a joke in the industry. Initially, it achieved a 100% increase in a week as a speculative stock, then fell from 13 billion to 5.7 billion. These two extremes have made Hongye Building Materials notorious. Now, almost any financial news without mentioning Hongye Building Materials seems to lack any trending heat.

Looking at these financial news pieces, Zhu Hongye's pale face showed no ripple of emotion, as if he had anticipated all of this, and he slowly placed the laptop on the bedside table.

"Give me my phone."

Liu Xianggui, who had been sitting quietly beside him, couldn't help but speak in a sobbing tone when she heard Zhu Hongye ask for the phone, "Can't you stop thinking about work? The doctor said you have minor bleeding in your cerebral vessels and need to rest well!"

Zhu Hongye leaned on the hospital bed, not speaking, just gently shaking his head.

The assistant had no choice but to place his phone in his hand.

After getting the phone, Zhu Hongye directly opened the contact list and dialed a number.

"Hello, Chairman Ge, it's me."

Zhu Hongye wore a full smile, his voice already weak, but he tried hard to make himself appear spirited.

"Chairman Zhu, I heard you were hospitalized. I planned to visit, but I was tangled up with some minor bank affairs. I apologize."

"Chairman Ge, you're joking. It was just a minor issue, but the people below made it a big deal. Do I seem unwell chatting with you?"

"I thought so. Those media always exaggerate. How could a well person like Chairman Zhu suddenly be hospitalized, right?"

Zhu Hongye detected an odd tone in Ge Aimin's words, furrowed his brow, a foreboding feeling rising again.

"Since Chairman Zhu is in good health, I have to mention something. The 1 billion short-term loan you took from our Construction Bank has been half a month, with another half month until the repayment period. Some matters need to be explained..."

"Due to the recent negative news about your company, our bank's head office is somewhat concerned about your repayment ability... We need your company to provide some capital proof to ensure that in half a month, Hongye Building Materials has the capability to repay us 1 billion 375 million of principal plus interest."

Zhu Hongye finally realized what the foreboding feeling was.

To save the market, he had pledged shares at the Construction Bank for a 1 billion loan, which, together with interest, needed repayment of 1 billion 375 million. But currently, apart from reclaiming 8 million shares, the company had nothing else.
