Chapter 325: Give the enemy two stabs first
When Charles Keswick arrived in the company's meeting room, all the senior management had already arrived, and he was the executive director.
He nodded to the crowd and sat down, looking at the chief executive Patton Harriman, who nodded to Charles Keswick, and then swept his gaze over the faces of the other directors with different faces.
"Time is urgent, so I'll just briefly tell you about the situation. ”
"Yesterday, our company's stock price fell slightly, but after the stock market opened today, our company's stock price plummeted, according to the analysis, it is obvious that there are institutions suppressing our company's stock price, and the momentum of shorting is very fierce, so far the stock price has fallen to 9.6 Hong Kong dollars a share, and the market value has evaporated by 20 million!
"I have sent someone to investigate the reason, and I believe it will be ...... soon"
"Knock Knock ......"
Barton Hardeman was just halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered the knock on the door, and he frowned slightly and said, "Come in!"
"President, the reason has been found, it's all here. ”
An employee walked in with some papers and newspapers, came up to Barton Hardeman, bent over and said, and put the document in his hand in front of Barton Hardeman's eyes as he spoke.
Barton Hardeman was in good spirits, and before he had time to say more, he immediately looked at him, and the other directors also looked at him.
Barton Hardeman's face darkened the more he looked at it, and he whispered to the staff, "You go and prepare it again, and give each director a copy." ”
"Okay!"
After a while, the employees came in again and handed out the same materials to everyone in the room.
The directors who couldn't wait immediately flipped through it, and this one was unbearable, everyone's faces became solemn, and Charles Keswick couldn't help but scold his mother.
"Gentlemen, we're in big trouble!"
Barton Hardeman said with a solemn face.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere in the air began to become more and more oppressive.
"Don't think about it, it's very likely that Jiuding Securities is doing ghosts!"
Liu Mingtao, financial director, said.
"Definitely their bastards!"
"What should we do now, we are being targeted by them, what should we do? And now the public opinion is very unfavorable to us, but we can't explain it!"
The other directors followed suit, in a bad mood.
The fact that they are able to do this position is a testament to their ability, and after seeing the materials provided by the employees, they know how difficult this matter is.
There are two materials provided by the employees, one is the latest issue of Jiuding Daily issued by Jiuding Newspaper Company, and the other is the new issue of securities research report published by the Securities Research Institute under Jiuding Securities Company.
In the "Jiuding Daily", there is not a single word of Jardine Air Cargo Station, but it has a great impact on their company, but they have no way to blame.
In the newspaper, there is a research report on the world transport industry and sea and air transport, which discusses in detail the changes in the world transport industry in the past decade.
Xiangjiang is composed of small islands, and land transportation is destined to be like that, so there are two sub-industries closely related to Xiangjiang, sea transportation and air transportation.
These two sub-industries belong to the competitive and substitutable relationship, when the maritime industry rises, the market for air freight will decline, and vice versa.
In the newspapers, the peak period of the maritime market in 1973-1975 and the trough period of the maritime industry in 1975-1978 were presented with reasonable evidence.
However, the article suddenly wrote that the shipping industry has begun to rise, and predicts that a new round of peak in the shipping industry will come, and most importantly, it also provides very rigorous survey data and theoretical support, which is very convincing.
Later in the article, the air transport industry in Xiangjiang was mentioned, and it was written that the cargo terminal of Kai Tak Airport, the largest airport in Xiangjiang, had only been put into use for two years, and the investment had not been recouped at all, and a new round of expansion plans was carried out in great strides.
But when the shipping industry is about to rise, the market of the air freight industry will be squeezed, and the revenue of companies related to the air freight industry will be worried, and then a lot of bala will be alabala.
It is even mentioned that the decline of Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry will also affect the air freight market, because many electronic products and textiles manufactured in Xiangjiang are shipped to all parts of the world by air, but a set of data shows that Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry has been squeezed by the real estate industry and the general environment, and the manufacturing industry is showing a downward trend, which will also have a great negative impact on the air freight industry, because there are fewer customers and transportation volumes!
This article can be summed up in one sentence, optimistic about the shipping industry in the next few years, optimistic about the air freight industry, and the whole article is reasonable, it is a good article full of dry goods, which makes people have to be convinced.
The article is good, but not good for those who are sitting there.
Because the air transport industry in Xiangjiang is directly monopolized by their company, the air transport market is affected, or are they affected?
Although their company is not mentioned in the news, it is their company!
The more readers of the newspaper are convinced of this article, the more bad their company's share price will be!
If the news of "Jiuding Daily" is aimed at the majority of readers, then the securities research report provided by Jiuding Securities Research Institute is for people in the financial industry, and the lethality is greater.
Because the securities research report directly pointed out the bearish view of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal, and believed that the stock price of Jardine Air Cargo Terminal was too high, it was recommended to sell, and the rating of Jardine Air Cargo Company was downgraded.
This is completely a clear telling to peers and shareholders that the share price of Jardine Air Cargo is going to fall, so sell it quickly!
You know, because of the outstanding achievements of Jiuding Securities Company, even though Jiuding Securities Research Institute has not been established for a long time, their securities research reports have been sought after, and because of the high quality of the reports, the trust of users is also very high!
So now that this report comes out, there will definitely be a lot of people affected, which is extremely detrimental to Jardine Air Cargo Company!
The company's share price has fallen by 4% and continues to fall!
And those sitting here also know that this is just the beginning, and when the news and research reports continue to spread and ferment and be known by more people, then the stock price of Jardine Air Cargo will fall even more violently!
"Jiuding Daily" and Jiuding Securities Research Report are like two sharp knives, stabbing Jardine Air Cargo Company twice in the body, making its stock price like blood, crazy loss!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference room was very heavy.
"Damn, we have to hurry up and find a way, we can't let the stock price go down!"
Charles Keswick said with a hideous face, he is now on fire, and Xia Yu again!
And it's a tricky one!
"That's right, we have to stabilize the stock price, hold a press conference immediately, make our attitude clear, and eliminate the negative impact as much as possible. ”
"In addition, prepare funds to go back, and you must not let the stock price fall, otherwise it will only attract more institutions to join, and it will really be over at that time!"
Barton Hardeman said.
"But Barton, our company doesn't have much money in its account now, only about 14 million, if it is used to save the stock price, it is definitely not enough!"
Liu Mingtao, director of finance, reminded.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces became even heavier, the company has no money, how can it be covered?
Everyone's eyes unconsciously fell on the top CEO, Barton Hardeman, who felt a lot of pressure, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Charles Keswick, and others followed his gaze to Charles Keswick.
Barton Hardeman, a man raised by Charles Keswick's grandfather, is part of the Jardine Matheson consortium, and he manages Jardine Air Cargo on behalf of Jardine Pacific.
Jardine Pacific holds 35.85% of the equity of Jardine Air Cargo Terminals, and as the largest controlling shareholder, it must take responsibility, and the most representative of Jardine Pacific present is not Barton Hardeman, but Charles Keswick!
Charles Keswick also knew what they meant, he nodded violently: "I will go back to the family immediately, and I will definitely find a way to bring the funds over, but the funds cannot be just us, I hope you will also come up with the funds to survive this crisis!"
Although Jardine Air Cargo is a constituent enterprise of the Jardine Matheson consortium, it is not a wholly-owned subsidiary, of course, it is impossible for them to pay for Jardine Pacific, and it is only fair that everyone must contribute together!
As soon as these words came out, the other shareholder directors were cheeky, but in the sharp eyes of Charles Keswick and Barton Hardeman, they could only nod in agreement.
