Chapter 327: Disrupted Plans
At 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, the anxiously waiting media finally waited for the news, early this morning before the stock market opened, L brand submitted an application to the relevant departments of the U.S. stock market on the recent change of the company's equity.
According to the equity change letter, William Devon Hill injected $1.1 billion into L Brand Company to acquire shares of Company 5 at a valuation of $2.2 billion, which was $2 billion higher than the market value of L Brand 2 billion three days ago.
As soon as this application was exposed, the market value of the L brand, which had fallen for three days, immediately rebounded to about $2 billion that morning, and by the time the market closed in the afternoon, the market value had risen to almost $2.1 billion.
This made many people who bought the L brand after the opening of the market at 9 o'clock on the same day suffered heavy losses, and the outside world had already made a noise the next day, and many people were clamoring to report William's illegal operation to control the stock price to the US stocks.
However, on the same day, after receiving the memorandum from the Swiss National Bank, the relevant departments of the U.S. stock market remained silent for a few days after the investigation, because the futures contracts of the L brand were all operated by the Swiss National Bank on the surface, and they had nothing to do with William in law.
In addition to a sum of more than 4 billion US dollars in several brokerages to show their faces, to these brokerages expressed their intention to acquire the L brand, there is no follow-up progress, and this intention is only verbal, William's money has never entered the stock market,
The Swiss National Bank will help because when the current president, Jon Grace, received a call from William, he heard William say that the profit is your bank's, and the loss will be compensated by the bank elsewhere.
Of course, Qiang-Grace will not refuse this kind of business that is sure to make money without losing money, and he himself has witnessed William's big profits in March this year, and he is full of confidence in William's vision.
Sure enough, the ending was the same as he expected, Switzerland, the president's office of the National Bank, Jon-Grace looked at the statement in his hand with some excitement, and said to William's exclusive account manager Felix: "We made 60 million dollars in three days?
After taking the operation record that Felix had prepared a long time ago, after reading it, Qiang Grace sat silently in the boss's chair, shook his head and said: "Is your group's sense of smell of market capital changes so accurate, why is every operation faster than others."
"I'm sorry, sir, it's not that our group is great, but Mr. William Devon Hill's judgment is too accurate, he can always give instructions a second or two faster than the others, which makes all our operations seem extremely risky, but the actual risk is zero, so,"
Felix said sorry after speaking, took the report from Jon-Grace's hand and walked to the shredder, put the operation record in his hand into the shredder, and soon a dozen reports became shredded, and finally he took out the shredded paper and put it into the feed port of the shredder again and shredded it again, until the shredded paper was completely foamed.
Turning his head to Qiang-Grace, who was surprised by his actions, he explained, "The server board of this transaction has been destroyed in front of Mr. Devon Hill's people in front of me, that is, I still have a little face, and I only got these dozen operation records to show you after using my personality as a guarantee.
You've probably seen the bodyguards that Mr. Devon Hill left in the VIP Lounge, and I don't even know what I'm going to end up with if they leak out, so I'm sorry, Mr. Grace."
Jon-Grace opened his mouth and looked at the smiling Felix, feeling helpless, Jon-Gray knew that he, the president, couldn't control Felix now, because the bank gave Felix a salary of only 240,000 Swiss francs,
Since following William, Felix has not only bought a Swiss estate covering more than 110 acres, but also invested in a luxury resort on the Iron Cross with the ten operators of their group.
I heard that the resort not only has William's bodyguards as a shareholder, but also a total investment of more than 100 million Swiss francs, the most important thing is that it seems that the idea of this resort focusing on the wind of heaven was told to them by William, although the construction period will take two or three years, it still makes Jon-Grace itch.
Whoever can make money with you these years is the boss, so Qiang-Grace didn't mean to be angry, waved his hand, sat back on the boss's chair, pointed to the chair opposite, and said, "It's okay, sit down, let's talk about the resort you invested in?"
"Of course, Mr. Grace", Felix smiled as he sat across from Jan Grace, who had 22 shareholders anyway, and didn't care if one more person became 23.
In the past few days of waiting for the investigation, William received a phone call, the phone was from his mother Lena, the content was only one sentence, the Earl of Oxford is no longer good, Lena made this call to let William prepare, it is best to show the outside world the strength and influence of their team, so as not to have problems with the succession of the title.
In the end, Lena sternly warned William that if he could not inherit the title that belonged to them, she would not forgive William, and even told William not to return to the castle in the future.
As soon as this incident came out, William's original plan was disrupted, and the mother of the world was the largest, and in the face of Lina's repeated warnings, William could only temporarily put aside the plan to secretly acquire the L brand, and after reassuring Lina,
On the one hand, William was thinking about how to reasonably show the strength of their Devon Hill team to the outside world, and on the other hand, waiting for his lawyer to bargain with the lawyer of the L brand company.
Three days later, William and L Brand signed a contract with the participation of the National Supervision Commission, and the 5 shares also made William officially become an independent director of the company's board of directors.
It's not that he doesn't want more shares, but the old chairman of the L brand is under the pressure of William exposing their company's scandal, and would rather only agree to William's 5 shares, and only give William an independent director who has no right to speak.
For William, these five shares are like admission tickets, and if you want to buy the shares, you can still buy them slowly in the stock market? There is no clause in the contract he signed with the L brand that prohibits them from being acquired in the market.
As long as he enters the board of directors, William can take the opportunity to contact those directors to quietly buy or exchange shares in other companies for shares of the L brand, but now the matter of the title has disrupted everything, and he can only use the signing press conference to say some good things first, leave some good impressions, and wait for the title to be finished
The reporters, who had just signed the contract and were waiting for an interview, heard William, who was sitting on the podium, say a pleasantly surprised news before they could speak.
"The reason for taking a stake in the L brand is because I am optimistic about this company, if it weren't for the chairman of the L brand, I would like to buy it wholly and then hand it over to him to take care of, but unfortunately this is impossible.
Companies that don't make me the masters don't mean much to me, they don't really interest me, let's talk about something else, and it's not as much money as I can make in two days."
