Chapter 355: Trap Loophole (I)
Yesterday, Mr. Mark, chairman of Deep Blue Airlines, held a press conference to announce that the company's loan negotiations with Brighton Bank have reached a critical stage, and the reporter consulted the director of the marketing department of Brighton Bank on this issue, and he replied to reporters: The bank is negotiating on the issue of loans, and it is not sure whether it will lend to Deep Blue Airlines, and everything must be comprehensively evaluated the development and financial status of Deep Blue Airlines.
While Brighton Bank did not answer any questions head-on and declined to disclose anything related to the loan, the news itself was enough to help Deep Blue Airlines get out of the sluggish growth it has seen since Monday's share price crash.
......
Affected by the news of yesterday's loan negotiations, the share price of Deep Blue Airlines rose sharply early this morning, and by the end of the day it had risen by nearly four percent, which is the sum of the gains in the past week.
The New York commentator called it a victory of word games, and he used the loan negotiations to force Brighton Bank closer to all shareholders, telling everyone that Deep Blue Airlines has great potential, but victory can always show off its might, and the rising stock price of Deep Blue Airlines also shows that the market still has full confidence in him, and the commentator expects this round of gains to continue for a while, until he breaks out into scandal or other negative news.
......
According to Mark, the chairman of Deep Blue Airlines, the reason why the company's stock suffered a tragic Waterloo last Monday was completely the result of being shorted, and the previous slow growth was the result of the game with speculators, and now he has reinvigorated the confidence of the market, and the speculative hot money has also taken the initiative to admit defeat and leave, and he has reason to believe that the shares of Deep Blue Airlines will be very strong in the market in the future!
......
It seems that Mr. Mark is still very strong in creating public opinion, not only Brighton TV and Northeast TV are broadcasting this news, but even New York financial news has begun to pay attention. ”
Zhou Ming turned off the TV and said that he was now in Rogers' office, sitting on the sofa in the reception area with Rogers.
"It's really puzzling, but this state of ups and downs, plus a well-known Brighton bank, is a good news material in itself, and now that the stock market is flattening, the major media also need to have such volatile and newsy news to boost their ratings. Rogers said to Zhou Ming, and there was not much joy and anger on his expression.
The reason why Rogers is so calm is because Rogers had heard the news several times before Zhou Ming came, and even after Mark's press conference ended, some stock commentators immediately speculated that Deep Blue Airlines was going to start the next round of rally. And today, as the stock market opened, the stock of Deep Blue Airlines rose wildly, and other media outlets dug out the company from the garbage basket and began to chase the flattering reports of the butt.
"In that case, shouldn't you be happy, Manager Rogers?" Zhou Ming asked, and then added, "This time I invested all the funds in my hands, and I didn't keep a single cent." ”
"I would be very happy if I had increased my client's investment so much, but this is just a part of your gambling game, Mr. Zhou Ming, isn't it?" Rogers said, with some frustration in his words, he didn't care how much hedging money Zhou Ming really invested, "And Mr. Zhou Ming, do you really think that Congressman Brooke will definitely enter the game? Have you ever thought about what to do if he doesn't enter the game?"
Zhou Ming smiled: "Manager Rogers is worried that if Councilor Brooke doesn't enter the game, your client's investment will not be able to withdraw, right?"
Rogers nodded yes, and Zhou Ming immediately said to him: "Actually, I don't think you need to worry about Manager Rogers, because now the whole market has confidence in Deep Blue Airlines, not me and you, as well as your investment customers, so once any risk occurs, we can withdraw as soon as possible, and more importantly, I promised you that I will bear any loss from your customers to the end, this is the biggest insurance!"
Faced with Zhou Ming's words, Rogers didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "Let's talk about Councilor Brooke, why do you insist on believing that he will definitely enter the game?"
"Because I've read his autobiography and his business experience," Zhou Ming said, "from his deeds, he is a very smart entrepreneur, knows how to lay out and counter and at the same time dares to take risks, I know that I say this is like nonsense, these are the qualities that any entrepreneur must have, but I want to say that it is these qualities that make him definitely enter the game to take this risk, of course, there is another bigger and more reassuring reason for him." ”
Zhou Ming's last sentence surprised Rogers, and he was about to ask what the reason was, when the phone on his desk rang, Rogers went over to answer the phone, and then he was stunned.
Zhou Ming was not in a hurry to ask him what was going on, he just sat on the sofa and drank tea leisurely and waited for him to tell him.
Sure enough, after a long while, Rogers came back to his senses and said to Zhou Ming: "Just now my friend told me that a large amount of funds were found to have bought a large number of shares of Deep Blue Airlines at the same time, and one of the accounts has been confirmed to be an offshore account opened by Councillor Brooke in Bermuda, as for other sources of funds, they are still being traced, and it is not ruled out that they all belong to Brooke." ”
"So the fish is so easy to take the bait. Zhou Ming said to Rogers, his tone relaxed.
Rogers' thinking was instantly messy, he couldn't figure out how Brooke, an experienced businessman, could step into such a clumsy trap of Zhou Ming?
Could it be that he is so relieved, not afraid that Zhou Ming and himself will immediately withdraw their capital to pit him once, or is there any reason in this that he did not think of?
At this time, Rogers had a flash of inspiration, and it seemed that something suddenly came to mind.
......
When Zhou Ming was drinking tea in the Brighton Bank Building, Wharton was making a phone call in a car with cellophane attached to it outside the building.
"Mr. Brooke, the stock of Deep Blue Airlines has risen sharply today, what is going on? Did you stop selling shares of Deep Blue Airlines?" Wharton asked.
"Yes, not only did I stop selling shares of Deep Blue Airlines, I even bought a lot of shares belonging to Deep Blue Airlines. On the other side of the phone, Old Brooke did not shy away from answering.
This answer shocked Wharton: "Mr. Brooke, why did you do this? Don't you know that this is a trap laid by Zhou Ming for you? He will withdraw and leave as soon as he learns that you have invested in it, and finally trap you in it, he is cheating you out of your money!"
Compared with Wharton's impatience, Old Brook was not in a hurry: "He won't do it, I'm confident." ”
"I don't understand why you made such a judgment, Mr. Brooke, I just want to say that I am so disappointed in you, have you forgotten the humiliation brought to you by Zhou Ming, the Chinese, have you forgotten that he personally sent your son to prison? I see that you are simply a jackal capitalist who sees money, and forgets his righteousness!" Wharton's emotions became more and more excited, and he roared in the end.
"Mr. Wharton, I ask you to be mindful of your words, I don't want to talk to a mad dog. ”
Old Brooke hung up the phone after speaking, and Wharton listened to the busy tone coming from the phone, and threw the phone on the passenger seat in annoyance.
On the other side of the phone, which Wharton couldn't see, Old Brook, after hanging up the phone, called in his secretary and said to her: "Stop all the houses and phones that Wharton rented for Wharton on Charles Avenue at once, I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore, and his car, I'd rather sink him into the Charles River than sit in it with his smelly bastard!"
The secretary took out a notebook and recorded Old Brooke's words, then nodded respectfully and exited the office, at which point a man spoke.
"Brooke, you're really ruthless, as far as I know, this man named Wharton has only that house, and if you take it, he'll have to sleep in the park and under the bridge. ”
The person who spoke sat across from Old Brooke was a white, sven-looking man with black-rimmed glasses, a man who appeared on the TV news a lot, and his name was Anthony, the lieutenant governor of Massachusetts and president of the state Senate.
This is a very delicate position, perhaps according to the normal understanding, he should be the second-in-command of Massachusetts politics, but because American politics is the implementation of the governor's responsibility to the Congress, and the Senate is the most influential parliament of the two houses;
At first glance, this may seem like a problem, but it is important to know that the appointment of the Lieutenant Governor Speaker is nominated by the Governor.
It is completely unthinkable in China for the number one to nominate and appoint a second-in-command who has the power to impeach him, but it is a political norm in the United States, and it cannot but be said to be very interesting.
However, no matter how dramatic American politics is, one thing is undeniable, that is, the current lieutenant governor Mr. Anthony is a very influential figure in Massachusetts.
It was for this reason that Old Brooke put away his posture when facing him, sighed and said to him: "Actually, I don't want to do it either, but it's not my fault. ”
"Yes, Massachusetts law doesn't require anyone to be responsible for whose life, unless you're paternally related. Anthony teasingly diverted the topic, "But there is one thing I'm very curious about, just like Mr. Wharton's analysis just now, Zhou Ming obviously prepared a trap for you, which you and I can see, why do you insist on going in and investing?"
"Because this trap of his is a completely untenable trap, and there is a fatal hole in this trap, and this loophole is enough to send himself to prison!" said Old Brooke.
Anthony's eyes rolled, and he immediately thought of something and asked, "You're talking about Deep Blue Airlines itself?"
