Chapter 349: Before the Curtain
"Today is Friday, April 2, and the following is a stock market news, yesterday Deep Blue Airlines held a press conference at the headquarters, and announced in a high-profile manner that it had accepted a $30 million capital injection from Wharton Insurance Company. Affected by this good news, the share price of Deep Blue Airlines rose all the way today, with an increase of six percentage points in just one hour, and it was the first airline among all airlines to achieve growth. ”
Listening to the announcer on the TV, the room suddenly resounded with enthusiastic cheers and applause, this is in the conference room of Deep Blue Airlines, Zhou Ming, Allen and Rogers are watching here with Mark Mark, the chairman of Deep Blue Airlines, and other shareholders of the company.
"It's incredible, I've been at the helm of Deep Blue for 30 years, and I've always heard that the stocks of other companies have skyrocketed, and now it's finally my turn?" Mark muttered, his tone a little incredulous.
Of course, as a listed company that has not made much effort in the stock market, not everyone understands the meaning of the rise in stocks, and the vice chairman of the trade union here asked very strangely: "Why are you so happy? As far as I know, the rise in this stock does not mean that the company has made money, because these stocks have been issued by the company a long time ago, and it is only you investors who have bought stocks and bonds that make money." ”
In the face of the doubts of the union members, Rogers, the key account manager of the securities company, took the initiative to explain: "Although the stock price is not directly related to the listed company, the stock is the clothes of the listed company. ”
"If the stock of a listed company has been unattended or continues to fall, it obviously means that the market is not optimistic about the company, then the company must have financing difficulties, or other business problems, just like the previous Deep Blue Airlines, I think Mr. Mark should have a lot of say about this, right?" Rogers said, turning his gaze to Mark beside him.
Regarding the topic thrown by Rogers, Mark sighed and said: "That's true, although Deep Blue Airlines has been developing independently, there has always been a big problem in financing, that is, it is difficult to find investors, otherwise it will not be so difficult in the face of this major reshuffle in the field of civil aviation." ”
"That's the reason," Rogers said, "that the way a company is doing is easily expressed in stocks." ”
"So now that the stock is rising so well, it means that Deep Blue Airlines is doing well and can easily raise funds?" asked Mark.
Rogers nodded and said: "Generally speaking, 30 million financing gives the market confidence, the market will have feedback, of course, the benefits of stocks are not only here, more importantly, stocks increase the company's market value, the company will be able to issue more shares, get more investment from the market, compared to other aspects, I believe this will be more intuitive." ”
Mark wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming patted him on the shoulder and said: "Mr. Mark, don't worry, I'm making investments rather than speculation, and my purpose is not to buy Deep Blue Airlines with 30 million US dollars, which has proved impossible, so what I hope is to make Deep Blue Airlines better, so that my investment can bring me more returns." ”
In the end, Zhou Ming thought for a while and added: "After this successful investment, I may have an additional investment of 30 million." ”
Mark and all the shareholders of Deep Blue Airlines, they couldn't help but gasp after hearing Zhou Ming's words, Mark excitedly held Zhou Ming's hand and said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, thank you, thank you so much, you trust Deep Blue Airlines so much that you want to invest all your net worth, Deep Blue Airlines will not let you down!"
Zhou Ming felt a little embarrassed by Mark's firm expression, because he didn't mean to take the 30 million from his classmates in the finance class to invest, but just had other speculative ideas, especially this speculation still had to be bet on Deep Blue Airlines.
I'm afraid that if Mark knew his intentions, he would not be so moved, but would be as uncomfortable as eating a dead mouse.
Zhou Ming thought so, then got up and said: "I believe that the stock will continue to rise, and every listed company must also know how to use the stock market, so we will not accompany you here." ”
Zhou Ming then took Allen and Rogers to leave Deep Blue Airlines, Mark personally sent them to the door, and when he left, Mark also said: "We have always regarded the company as a family, every employee is an important family member, and now we should add you Mr. Zhou Ming, you saved us when we were in the most critical situation, we will definitely remember you!"
"I fully believe that. Zhou Ming said.
Saying goodbye to Mark, Zhou Ming and Alan Rogers got into the car, and Zhou Ming still rented an extended Lincoln courtesy car today.
got into the car and Rogers said to Zhou Ming: "Judging from today's situation, Old Brook's side should have taken the bait." ”
"If you want to say that he has already taken the bait, Manager Rogers, have you forgotten that the stock price of Deep Blue Airlines has begun to rise long before the press conference?" Zhou Ming said.
"It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming, you guessed correctly, Old Brooke really sent someone to follow you. Rogers said.
"Guess?" Zhou Ming shook his head with a smile and said, "As for that Mr. Wharton's tracking technology, I don't need to guess, because his every move is under the control of my driver." ”
"So that's the case, it seems that I underestimated you Mr. Zhou Ming too much. Rogers said with a shrug.
Zhou Ming waved his hand and said that it didn't matter: "But Manager Rogers, since you have such a good beginning, I believe it will be very simple for you to persuade other customers to join in, right?"
Rogers nodded and said, "Of course, as long as Mr. Zhou Ming finally wants to withdraw the investment, you can call me in advance." ”
Zhou Ming gave him an OK gesture, and then the car arrived at the Brighton Bank Building, Rogers got out of the car, and Zhou Ming asked the lawyer Allen: "Do I also have a bit of insider trading flavor like this?"
Alan nodded and said: "Yes, but Rogers, the key account manager, has the power to guide investment, which can be regarded as a kind of guided investment, which can be removed from insider trading, and if I am charged, I am 90% sure that I can get away with it." ”
Zhou Ming was convinced of Allen's answer, in fact, Zhou Ming didn't have this worry, just asked casually.
After sending Allen back to the law firm, Zhou Ming first went to the rental car to return the car, and finally returned to the Harvard dormitory in his Buick.
At this time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and it was the time for the students to come back after eating, Ye Ning saw Zhou Ming come back and immediately came over and said: "Teacher, I have already seen the news, yesterday you announced a high-profile capital injection of 30 million at the press conference of Deep Blue Airlines, and the stock market is very good today!"
Zhou Ming didn't answer for the first time, but looked at her with a smile, Ye Ning knew what Zhou Ming meant and immediately said: "Teacher, don't worry, I didn't buy the shares of Deep Blue Airlines with your instructions, and I also stopped other students who wanted to buy Deep Blue Airlines, I have already told them whether to buy it or not, and when to buy Deep Blue Airlines, they must act in unison." ”
"Ye Ning's execution is still very strong. Zhou Ming praised Ye Ning.
Although it was just a very ordinary compliment, as long as it was praised by Zhou Ming, it made Ye Ning's heart bloom, and then Ye Ning suddenly thought of something, and asked Zhou Ming very carefully: "Teacher, what is the matter between you and Teacher Zyra? Are you in love?"
This question startled Zhou Ming: "Of course not, Ye Ning, why do you ask that? Didn't I tell you that Westerners and our implicit concepts are different, for them, some kisses are just the most ordinary teacher-student kisses?"
"But no matter how open you are, there are still some limits, I asked many American students, and they all said ......."
Ye Ning's words couldn't go on anymore, Zhou Ming couldn't bear to see him so entangled, so he explained to her softly: "Ye Ning, you remember, I really don't have anything to do with Teacher Zyra, since you know that Americans have a limit to everything, then you should also know that Harvard University, where we are located, is a church school, and he has his own bottom, how can he allow teacher-student love?"
"Teacher, is what you said true?" Ye Ning raised his head as if he had the last trace of hope, looking at Zhou Ming and asked.
"Sure, yes, yes. Zhou Ming said, and finally added, "And I prefer girls from my own country to American women." ”
Hearing this, Ye Ning's face turned red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhou Ming, Zhou Ming realized that he had said the wrong thing, but when Zhou Ming wanted to change his words, it was too late, because Ye Ning had already run away shyly, leaving only a sentence for Zhou Ming, "The teacher is so bad".
This made Zhou Ming feel like crying without tears: Heaven and earth, I have never wanted to be interested in being a rogue teacher who molests my female students!
At the same time, in the office of Old Brook in downtown Brighton, as soon as he put down the phone, his old butler sat in front of him and asked him, "Sir, did you just call Wharton and tell you the news of that Chinese?"
Old Brook nodded and said, "He said that Mr. Zhou Ming has returned to the school dormitory." ”
"This Mr. Wharton is really diligent enough, if he had such a spirit in the previous company, why would he be swallowed by Zhou Ming?" said the old butler disdainfully.
"The mall is not something you can do with hard work, you need absolute brains. Old Brooke pointed to his head and said, "Unfortunately, this Mr. Wharton happens to have no brains." ”
Speaking of this, Old Brooke waved his hand and changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about this, in a few days, the case between you and Brooke should be opened, and you will also go back to the detention center, in this last day outside, I will avenge you first." ”
The old butler's eyes lit up: "Sir, are you ready to do it?"
"Next week, I will continue to push up the stock price of Deep Blue Airlines and then help him burst this bubble. Old Brooke smiled and replied, "I know he's waiting to use Wharton to calculate me, but I'll tell him with practical actions that the game of finance is not something that stupid Chinese can afford, so let him be proud for a while before the curtain opens." ”
