Chapter 348: Calculating with Each Other

At a quarter past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Ming arrived at the headquarters building of Deep Blue Airlines, which was caused by the distance between the east and west ends of the city separated by Lugen Airport and Harvard University.

Along the way, Mark made several calls to Zhou Ming, and when Zhou Ming arrived here, Mark was waiting at the gate with people, and when Zhou Ming's car arrived, he couldn't wait to complain to Zhou Ming.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, what is going on in the stock market now? During the time you came, the stock price of Deep Blue Airlines has skyrocketed by five percentage points, and it has skyrocketed by nearly ten percentage points at the close of trading in the morning, and this is only one morning, which has never happened in the thirty years since the establishment of Deep Blue Airlines, and I have received six calls from shareholders in a row in the morning, and they are all questioning me what is going on, and asking me to give an answer as soon as possible......

Mark chattered to Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming interrupted him: "Mr. Mark, you are the chairman and president of Deep Blue Airlines, not me, you should be able to tell them that this is simply the stock market turmoil, or that the company has found new investments and is preparing for greater business expansion, instead of chattering like an old lady like now." ”

In the end, Zhou Ming suddenly asked him: "And generally speaking, the company's stock price has risen, shouldn't you be happy as the chairman, right?"

"Of course I'd be happy if the stock market was going up because of normal business development, but now it's clearly manipulative, and I don't want the fruits of my hard work to be easily taken away by those damn speculators, and I'll go crazy!" Mark said.

Facing the somewhat manic Mark, Zhou Ming motioned him to calm down and said to him: "Listen to Mr. Mark, we are now facing a shopping mall, not in Hollywood, we are filming according to the script that has been written, and there are no screenwriters and directors, anything can happen, since you have chosen this path, you must choose to fight like a man." ”

Zhou Ming looked at Mark and finally asked him: "In the face of the storm in the stock market, do you choose to be a coward for a lifetime, or be a hero for a second?"

"Of course it's a hero!" Mark, who was bewitched by Zhou Ming, replied without any hesitation.

Mark immediately regretted or was at a loss after answering, but Zhou Ming didn't give him a chance to say anything else, patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's right, let's go inside first, and then have a good chat about this situation, your press conference in the afternoon has been connected, right?" I think the next thing is the most important thing, and nothing else matters." ”

Saying that, Zhou Ming took Mark into the headquarters building of Deep Blue Airlines, and this scene was also seen by Wharton, who had been following him.

Wharton picked up his mobile phone and dialed Old Brooke's phone and said happily: "Mr. Brooke, I have now followed Zhou Ming to the headquarters of Deep Blue Airlines, he just went in with Mark, the chairman of Deep Blue Airlines, seeing that Mark is very anxious, and Zhou Ming came here during class, I guess it must be related to today's stock market." ”

Wharton then guessed: "Mr. Brooke, your hand today is really powerful to push up the stock price of Deep Blue Airlines in advance, and they can't sit still in just two hours!"

Compared with Wharton's happiness, Old Brooke's side was relatively calm, and he just said to Wharton: "Don't be too happy too early, you continue to wait there, see what Zhou Ming and they are going to do next, and then tell me." ”

"No problem, Mr. Brooke, don't worry, I will keep an eye on Zhou Ming's car, he doesn't want to slip away from under my nose!"

Wharton assured Old Brooke, and at the same time his eyes were fixed on the front door of Deep Blue Airlines, and soon two hours passed, and suddenly Wharton frowned, and he dialed Old Brooke's number again: "Mr. Brooke, since just now, there have been people taking taxis or driving to Deep Blue Airlines, I saw it, there are TV stations and newspaper cars inside!"

Old Brooke immediately realized what was going on and said, "Then they must be holding a press conference, you have to find a way to sneak in and have a look!"

Wharton felt embarrassed: "But Zhou Ming and his bodyguards know me, and if I go in, I will probably be exposed." ”

"But if you don't go in, there's no way we'll know what they're going to do, and it's too late to figure it out, so you must go in now, and I don't care what you do!" Old Brooke gave the death order.

Wharton reluctantly agreed, and then he got out of the car with his mobile phone, wore a hat and a mask and walked into the Navy Airlines headquarters building, and followed the reporters in front of him to the conference room on the second floor, but now it has been set up as the scene of a press conference.

Wharton was a little shocked by this, because from the rise in the stock price this morning, to Zhou Ming's coming, it was only two or three hours, but now that the press conference has been prepared, this either means that Zhou Ming has been ready for a long time, but this is obviously impossible, then it can only show that Zhou Ming has extraordinary decision-making ability, which is really terrible.

Wharton then also thought: But no matter how strong Zhou Ming's ability is, it is useless, no matter how you struggle, I will crush you to death!

Under this idea, Wharton sat in the back row of the press conference, and at about three o'clock, the press conference officially began, and Wharton's face suddenly distorted, because Zhou Ming, who he hated the most, had come to the stage with Mark.

Compared with when I saw Zhou Ming at noon, Mark the chairman of Deep Blue Airlines had come out of the panic at this time, he sat in his position and said into the microphone: "Hello reporters and friends, I think that since everyone can find here, then I no longer need to introduce myself, I am Mark the chairman of Deep Blue Airlines." ”

Mark's American humor made the reporters below chuckle, and then Mark continued: "I am holding this press conference today because I have a very important news to announce, that is, this Mr. Zhou Ming next to me, on behalf of his Wharton Insurance Company, will inject $30 million into Deep Blue Airlines, and Deep Blue Airlines will settle in the form of bonds and stocks. ”

As Mark said this, it was like detonating a bombshell, which caused an uproar at the scene, and all the reporters raised their hands in surprise and asked: "Mr. Zhou Ming, why do you want to inject so much money into Deep Blue Airlines? Are you preparing to acquire Deep Blue Airlines, or are you expecting it to have better development in the future? This morning, the stock of Deep Blue Airlines has risen all the way, is it also affected by this capital injection?"

In the face of the reporters' questions from the audience, Zhou Ming raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The reason why Wharton will inject capital into Deep Blue Airlines is that it has taken a fancy to the development potential of Deep Blue Airlines, and in the past 30 years, Deep Blue Airlines has developed from a travel agency with an aircraft to a small airline with more than 50 aircraft of various types, which is a very remarkable thing, so I believe that Deep Blue Airlines will continue to develop." ”

Zhou Ming's words fell, and a reporter immediately retorted: "However, due to the adjustment of aviation fuel prices and the competition between major airlines, Deep Blue Airlines has suffered serious losses, so much so that it was previously exposed that Deep Blue Airlines was going to apply for bankruptcy protection." ”

"But in the end, there is no bankruptcy protection, is it?" Zhou Ming said, "so those news are not true." ”

"In fact, the decline of Deep Blue Airlines before was only due to some unfair competition, as well as the overall decline of the market, reflecting the overall situation of the market, not the situation of Deep Blue Airlines itself, in fact, the operation of Deep Blue Airlines itself is very good, as long as it can survive this period of time, the future of Deep Blue Airlines will definitely usher in a new and greater upward period. ”

Zhou Ming thought for a while and said: "And I can reveal a new news to you today, that is, Deep Blue Airlines is actively negotiating with relevant departments to open up new popular routes as soon as possible." ”

When Zhou Ming finished speaking, the reporters in the audience were boiling again, and everyone recorded Zhou Ming's words just now, and asked Zhou Ming about Deep Blue Airlines and investment.

And in the messy porridge, there was a person who quietly left the scene, this person was Wharton, as a businessman, he knew that the situation of today's press conference was too important, so he had to tell the news to Old Brooke as soon as possible.

In a financial building in the centre of Brighton, Brooke Sr. was sitting in his office, and in front of him was his old butler.

When the old butler saw Old Brooke put down the phone, he immediately asked him: "Sir, I didn't expect Zhou Ming's reaction to be very fast, you only promoted the stock price of Deep Blue Airlines this morning, and he held a press conference in the afternoon." ”

Old Brooke nodded, he looked at the computer on his desk and said: "Since it has begun, no matter how he started, the most important thing is to keep up with this car and minimize his losses, so there is this press conference, the purpose is to further push up the stock price, this Chinese is also a very pragmatic person." ”

"But he's pragmatic for us, sir, and I think we can make a lot of money on his ride......"

The old butler's words came to an abrupt end here, because he saw Old Brooke's unkind eyes, and Old Brooke asked him: "Do you think I am short of money now? What I need now is to teach that Chinese that making money is only incidental, and do you think that Chinese will not know that I am behind the push?"

Hearing Old Brooke say this, the old butler suddenly reacted: "Sir, are you saying that the Chinese deliberately used Wharton to deliver news to us?" ”

Old Brook nodded and said, "It's like a wolf and a fox hunting together, when they are calculating their prey, they are also calculating each other, I used Wharton to find out about him, and cheated him on the stock of Deep Blue Airlines once, how can he not want to take revenge? If I continue to follow up, and he suddenly withdraws his funds halfway, won't I be unlucky?"

In the end, Old Brooke said: "As for Mr. Wharton, he is nothing, do you really think you can fool the eyes of those professional bodyguards? In this game, Zhou Ming and I both know very well that Wharton is just a chess piece, and only he is very naΓ―ve to think that he has hidden everything and is a pivotal figure in this game." ”

"So, sir, shall we withdraw our capital at once?" asked the old butler again.

Old Brooke thought for a while and said: "That's not necessary, just let that Chinese be proud of the beautiful dream he weaves for a few days, and when we make enough money, we will withdraw, and as for the mess of Deep Blue Airlines, let him have a headache himself." ”
