Chapter 353: The trap that was clearly told to him
Zhou Ming returned to Harvard at eight o'clock in the evening, in fact, Zhou Ming could have come back before the stock market closed in the afternoon, but Rogers was still very uneasy, so Zhou Ming had to stay in his office until the stock market closed, and finally had a dinner together before going back.
When they arrived at the dormitory, the students continued to read books, newspapers, and TV in the dormitory, or check and record the changes in the stock market in the computer room.
Zhou Ming came to the door of the No. 1 computer room and beckoned Ye Ning to come out, Ye Ning ran out of a hurry, and before Zhou Ming could speak, she first asked happily: "Does the teacher have any tasks to assign to us?"
Zhou Ming was a little surprised: "You can know this?"
Ye Ning replied with a smile: "Because I just checked the stock of Deep Blue Airlines, I found that he fell very hard today, and he has exceeded the average upper limit of the stock market, which is very rare, because although the US stock market does not have a mechanism for rising and falling limits, if the rise and fall of a certain stock is too large, it will automatically trigger the restriction mechanism of the exchange, so the rise and fall of stocks that are generally artificially promoted will be limited to a certain range." β
"And today, Deep Blue Airlines fell by 16 percentage points in one day, and was forced to stop trading for one hour by the exchange in accordance with the regulations, which was obviously deliberate. Ye Ning continued, "I will contact the teacher again, you said before that you want us to prepare, I think now it must be time for us to make a move, after all, our classmates still have 30 million US dollars in their hands, although it is a drop in the bucket for the entire stock market, but it is no problem to hedge a certain stock." β
Zhou Ming stretched out his hand and rubbed Ye Ning's hair and said, "It is worthy of being the best in our class, this analysis is very exciting." β
"Then teacher, did I guess correctly?" Ye Ning asked.
Facing Ye Ning's expectations, Zhou Ming gave her the answer she wanted: "Of course, that's what I decided, because then we will compete with the Americans on Deep Blue Airlines." β
With Zhou Ming's answer, other finance students, including Ye Ning and Chen Shu and Li Yang, cheered: "Great, we are going to hedge with the Americans in the stock market! We can finally help the teacher, and we can also participate in the financial war!"
It wasn't until the enthusiastic cheers sounded that Zhou Ming found that there were many classmates inside and outside the engine room, it seemed that they were all waiting for their final decision, and he just agreed to let them operate the stocks of Deep Blue Airlines, and they were happy to be like this.
Zhou Ming shook his head, but still decided to put a tight spell on these Sun Monkeys, and warned them: "But you all pay attention, this time the stock transaction is very important, when should you buy, how much you should buy, you all have to listen to me, if anyone dares to make a decision without authorization, I will definitely kick him out of the team and deprive him of the right to operate stocks!"
In response to Zhou Ming's admonition, all the students in the finance class replied loudly: "Please rest assured, teacher, we promise to be obedient!"
Zhou Ming shook his head, and then went upstairs to sleep, after all, it was very annoying to be at Rogers' place today, the time came to the next day, Tuesday, April 13, Zhou Ming did not go to class on this day, and went out to the city by car early, and when Zhou Ming went out, the other students in the finance class in the dormitory did not go to class, they all came to the computer room, waiting for Zhou Ming to assign tasks, ready to throw stocks to support Zhou Ming at any time.
In the car, Zhou Ming asked his bodyguard Zhang Lin: "Is Wharton still following us?"
Zhang Lin nodded and replied: "I am still following behind, and I am much more careful than yesterday, and the distance I follow is much farther than usual." β
"I can't help but say that his perseverance is very tenacious. β
Zhou Ming joked, Zhang Lin asked if he wanted to get rid of him, Zhou Ming waved his hand and said, "No need, besides, there are some things I still need him to help me convey to Councillor Old Brook." β
An hour later, Zhou Ming came to Brighton Bank Securities Company, and Rogers, the key account manager, was waiting for Zhou Ming downstairs.
"Good morning, Mr. Zhou Ming, you said that you have already eaten breakfast, so I didn't prepare it for you, but if you need it, I can also help you prepare it immediately. β
Rogers said to Zhou Ming while inviting Zhou Ming into the building, Zhou Ming nodded to indicate that he had eaten, and Rogers continued: "It's nine o'clock in the morning, and there is still half an hour before the opening time of the New York stock market;
"There will be 30 million funds coming in," Zhou Ming said, "but this money will not enter the market at the first time, but will enter the market at the same time as the stock changes, you know, some departments are very keen on speculative supervision." β
Rogers smiled and nodded, "Of course I understand, those guys take taxpayers' money and always have to do something to show their presence." β
Rogers invited Zhou Ming to his office, Zhou Ming sat down on the sofa in the reception area, Rogers turned on the rear projection TV on the wall, because Rogers connected the TV to the computer in advance, the stock market in New York was immediately displayed in front of Zhou Ming's eyes, of course, because the stock market has not opened yet, so the numbers on it are not moving.
Zhou Ming is not surprised by the rear projection TV,Because the rear projection TV was developed as early as the eighties,It's just that due to many technical defects,Can't watch high-definition TV programs like the rear projection TV in 2015,But when the LED display looks at the stock market, it's no problemγ As for the price of the rear projection TV, Rogers, as a key account manager, wants to install a rear projection TV in his office that is more convenient for large customers, which is not an outrageous requirement.
Miss Secretary brought tea to Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin, not the coffee from last time, Rogers boasted: "This is the Longjing shipped from China, I hope Mr. Zhou Ming can drink the taste of his hometown." β
Zhou Ming smiled and thanked Rogers, Rogers sat down with Zhou Ming, and he chatted with Zhou Ming for a while, but as the time on the TV approached half past nine, his attention was also attracted.
After half past nine o'clock, the New York stock market opened, but due to the imperfection of the stock market network now, it was only after two minutes that the market on TV had its first beat.
However, Rogers was not happy to see the movement of the broader market, but frowned, because the numbers above were not rising, but falling.
"It should be the stock market that has only opened now, and the orders placed by my customers have not yet entered the system, so the stock is still continuing yesterday's momentum before it falls. Rogers muttered, not knowing whether he was explaining to Zhou Ming or giving himself a reassurance.
Zhou Ming only glanced at Rogers' constantly shaking legs, and it seemed that this Rogers manager was not as sure as he said.
The time was 9:35, 9:40, and until 9:50, but the stock of Deep Blue Airlines kept falling, which made Rogers' composure no longer pretend, he turned his head and asked Zhou Ming: "What's going on? Mr. Zhou Ming, didn't you tell me that Deep Blue Airlines has great potential, and you want me to convince my customers to continue to buy today that they can rise back? Why hasn't he rebounded?"
Compared with Rogers' impatience, Zhou Ming was really calm, and he said to Rogers: "Don't worry, you only saw Deep Blue Airlines falling, don't you see his decline getting smaller and smaller?"
Rogers, who was originally just impatient, immediately burst into a rage after hearing this: "Mr. Zhou Ming, what do you mean by this? Are you using my client's funds to pay for your credit? My client's funds are not for you to use to squander them like this!"
Facing Rogers, who was about to go berserk, Zhou Ming had no choice but to raise his hand and surrender: "Okay Rogers Manager, I know what I should do." β
After speaking, Zhou Ming took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Ye Ning, you immediately operate your account and buy one million dollars of Deep Blue Airlines shares." β
After assigning this task, Zhou Ming put down the phone, but saw Rogers' eyes that were almost murderous: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I think I must have heard it wrong, when my customers have tens of millions of funds trapped in Deep Blue Airlines, how can you only let your hedge fund buy a million dollars of stocks? This is just a joke!"
"Rogers you heard me right, I did only buy a million dollars in stock, and I'm not kidding you......"
Zhou Ming kept paying attention to Rogers' expression when he spoke, and when he was about to go berserk, Zhou Ming immediately changed his words and said, "But please Manager Rogers, don't worry, I'll tell you slowly." I guess Mr. Rogers, you must remember yesterday when Wharton helped Councillor Brooke follow me, right?"
Rogers nodded and said, "Of course I remember, I also found out that there are indeed a few accounts belonging to Brooke who are selling a lot of shares of Deep Blue Airlines, but what does this have to do with you only buying a million dollars in stocks?"
"Of course it has a relationship, and it has a very big relationship!" Zhou Ming said, "Because now the stock of Deep Blue Airlines has reached an equilibrium point of ups and downs, one million is enough to break this balance and let him rise, and no matter how much I continue to invest money, it will only make him rise sharply today, but what I need is to let him continue to rise!"
Rogers was stunned and said I didn't understand, and Zhou Ming continued: "Manager Rogers, let me ask you, if you are Congressman Brooke, when you know that I am talking to a securities key account manager, and I also find out the fact that you sent someone to follow me, what will you think?"
"I think there's a plot in this!" Rogers said.
"So what about the stock of Deep Blue Airlines that was then injected to stop the downward trend?" Zhou Ming asked again.
Rogers thought for a moment and replied, "I think I'd definitely think this is a conspiracy, you're deliberately digging a trap to make me jump so that you and the other investors can calmly withdraw and leave." β
Zhou Ming nodded and said, "That's right, I'm sure Councillor Brooke will think the same way, but because of this, I want to continue to push up the stock price of Deep Blue Airlines." β
"Why is that?" Rogers asked suspiciously, his mind was full of greetings now, and he didn't understand what Zhou Ming was trying to say in this inconsistent remark.
"Because I just want to tell him clearly that there's a trap here, and if you have the ability, you can jump and see. Zhou Ming said.
