Chapter 357: Trap Loophole (Part II)
"What if Zhou Ming learns that you have invested in it, and he and his partner immediately withdraw your investment?" Anthony asked, and then he answered himself.
"I used to be in an investment bank, and I know very well that once a large amount ......of money starts to sell a certain stock, then no matter how good the market prospects of the stock are, it will fall immediately, and I believe that Deep Blue Airlines is no exception;
Old Brooke woke up suddenly, and he looked around blankly, and found that he was on a bed in the middle of the office, with a thin blanket on his body, and there was nothing else unusual around him, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He reached out and touched the head of the bed, and found the alarm clock, the time on it was eleven o'clock in the morning, and he had slept for less than three hours.
Old Brooke got up and picked up the thermos on the bedside table, the water was still hot, he unscrewed the lid and poured himself several sips.
"How can you have such a dream? Is there something unexpected about to happen?"
Old Brooke muttered to himself after drinking the water, reaching out and rubbing his temples vigorously, Anthony's last words of 'no one will answer' echoed in his head, and he was upset.
He still remembered that this sentence was said by Anthony last time he talked to Anthony in the office, and it was about the countermeasures that Zhou Ming might do when he bought the shares of Deep Blue Airlines.
Old Brooke shook his head: "In fact, there is no need to discuss the countermeasures of that Chinese, and if you want your opponent to lose money in the stock market, you are short, and you keep selling to make the stock price fall." But the Chinese could not do this, because he was openly cooperating with Deep Blue Airlines to invest, if he dared to short Deep Blue Airlines, not to mention whether Deep Blue Airlines would let him go, even if Deep Blue Airlines people really did not understand the stock market, so it was useless not to care, because of insider trading, violating the Securities Exchange Act, the FBI would not let him go. ”
"If Zhou Ming really intends to lure me into the game, then this will be the most fatal loophole in his plan! I also dared to buy Deep Blue Airlines shares based on this loophole that he can't make up for at all, so what else do I have to worry about? I'm afraid that the current situation is that I haven't rested, so I will worry inexplicably because of this meaningless thing. ”
Old Brooke muttered to himself and got out of bed, out of the room, habitually walked to his desk and turned on the dormant computer, and then the whole person was stunned as if petrified.
"Impossible, why is this happening? Is that Chinese really crazy? Or is this the worst nightmare?"
Old Brooke muttered to himself, then his voice grew louder and louder as he became more agitated, and finally roared. On the computer in front of him, the stock price of Deep Blue Airlines has plummeted by more than eight percentage points.
Just as the sentence that kept echoing in his head just now, at this point, his funds were trapped in stocks, and he couldn't sell them if he wanted to, because the whole market was full of sellers, and there was no buyer. He couldn't believe it all because he bought 10 million shares, and if it fell by 8 percent, it meant that he had lost 800,000 yuan in one morning.
"Mr. Brooke, may I ask what happened?"
When his secretary heard the movement, he immediately knocked on the door and came in, and old Brooke walked up to the secretary in three or two steps, pointed to the computer and asked her, "What's the situation? You told me that the stock price of Deep Blue Airlines has not fallen, and my computer has a problem, right?"
The secretary was taken aback and replied tremblingly: "Mr. Brooke, the stock of Deep Blue Airlines has been falling continuously since half an hour after the opening of the morning market, and now it has ......"
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on this stock, and he had to report anything to me?" Before Miss Secretary could finish speaking, Old Brooke interrupted Miss Secretary and yelled at her.
Old Brooke's hideous expression made Miss Secretary tremble: "That's when you said you want to rest, so I don't bother you no matter what happens......"
"But it doesn't include it!" roared Old Brooke.
Miss Secretary was frightened, and sat down on the ground with a scream, and Old Brooke spat at it, and then waved her out of here, and Miss Secretary ran out as if she had been pardoned.
But that Chinese is really crazy, I didn't expect him to really dare to sell, it turned out that the Allen lawyer did not remind him, is this a violation of the Securities and Exchange Law? It seems that this Chinese is indeed very unpleasant! I just thought that I could make a little more money to send you to prison, and now this is what you want to go to prison. ”
Old Brooke took a deep breath and walked back to his desk to pick up the phone, but he had barely pressed the first number button when he heard a knock on the office door behind him.
"Didn't I tell you not to bother me?" Old Brooke yelled angrily.
"I'm sorry Councillor Brooke, and I don't want to bother you either, but there's one case that requires your personal cooperation. ”
Old Brooke was stunned when he heard the voice coming from behind him, because it was not the voice of his secretary, he turned his head in a daze, and saw seven or eight people coming in the office at once, all of them looked strong in trench coats, but two of them he knew, one was his secretary's wife, and the other was Wharton who helped him follow Zhou Ming.
When old Brooke saw Wharton, Wharton also stared at him, gritted his teeth and said: "Brooke, you bastard, I have worked so hard to help you do so many things, you actually want to kick me out, I tell you that this is absolutely impossible, even if I die, I will bite off a piece of meat on you!"
As Wharton spoke, he really stepped forward to bite Old Brooke, but was stopped by a person next to him, who stood up and said: "Hello Congressman Brooke, I am the deputy director of the Massachusetts Bureau of the FBI, my name is Mueller, you are suspected of being involved in an insider trading case, please come back with us to assist in the investigation." ”
Deputy Director Mueller's words made Old Brooke gasp: "I'm involved in insider trading, why did you find me?"
......
At the same time, at the entrance of the building, Zhou Ming's Buick sedan was parked here, and Zhou Ming and Mark, the chairman of Deep Blue Airlines, were sitting in the car.
Mark rolled down the window and looked up at the magnificent building and asked Zhou Ming: "You said that the person who went in just now is an FBI agent, how do you know? Do you know someone from the FBI?"
Zhou Ming thought for a moment and replied: "I had the honor to meet the deputy director of the FBI Massachusetts Branch, Mueller, he was in the group of people just now, but I can be sure that it is not because of him, but another Wharton, he is an important witness to testify against Congressman Brooke, although he can also testify against Congressman Brooke for insider trading, but with Wharton as a witness, this evidence chain is more complete." ”
"Is this what you said about the trap loophole?" Mark asked suddenly.
Zhou Ming nodded and replied: "That's right, Old Brooke calculated that I don't dare to sell the stock, otherwise Mr. Mark, you will definitely not let me go for the sake of Deep Blue Airlines, even if you are willing not to hold me accountable, he can choose to help you call the police and report me for insider trading, the result of this loophole is either I let him come in and push up the stock price and run away, or I have to go to jail, no matter what, he is invincible." ”
He just saw this loophole, so he was so bold to buy Deep Blue Airlines' stock. Zhou Ming said, "Actually, he made a good calculation, but he forgot one thing, that is, he himself is also suspected of insider trading, and compared to the cooperative transaction between us, his problem is more serious, as long as I take the lead in reporting, he will face the FBI investigation and judicial accusations." ”
"After that, Mr. Mark, you can apply to the court to freeze the funds he made in the stock market for speculation on Deep Blue Airlines, so that my partner and I can buy back the shares we sold and pull the stock back to a normal position, and we can exit step by step, so that we are all winners, and the only one who loses money is Mr. Brooke. Zhou Ming said, "But for Councilor Brooke, do you care?"
Mark said with a look of disgust: "Of course I don't care, I hate to let this greedy guy die!"
Zhou Ming spread his hands and said, "So we are the perfect ending for everyone to be happy." ”
Mark suddenly remembered something and asked Zhou Ming: "But you said that Wharton is the key person, what does this mean?"
"Because he was the one sent by Councillor Brooke to follow me, Councillor Brooke rented him a house on Charles Road and gave him a full set of tracking equipment, including a car with cellophane plastered and a cell phone to be contacted at any time. Zhou Ming said.
"It seems that Councillor Brooke has taken great pains to deal with Mr. Zhou Ming!" Mark sighed, and then asked, "But I have a question, since this Mr. Wharton is so loyal to Councillor Brooke, can you let him testify against Councillor Brooke and be the key gentleman in this case?"
"This is the best result. Zhou Ming said, "Because first of all, they are only a temporary cooperative relationship, my Wharton insurance company was purchased from Mr. Wharton, he and I have a conflict, Congressman Brooke just took advantage of Mr. Wharton's hatred of me to order him." ”
Mark nodded silently and asked at the same time: "Then it seems that something must have happened behind the scenes, otherwise they will break up at most, and Wharton will not be able to help you." ”
"That's true, but our Councillor Brooke gave me this opportunity after a death of his own. ”
Zhou Ming said to Mark: "The news that Councilor Brooke bought a large number of shares of Deep Blue Airlines was known to Wharton, and they quarreled, so Councilor Brooke broke off the cooperation with Wharton, and took back everything including the house and the car, and kicked Wharton out of the house, Wharton refused to leave, and his people beat Wharton, and finally threw it out, and he slept under the bridge when I met Wharton." ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Ming sighed: "You know that although it is already spring in Brighton, the weather is still very cold, especially at night, when I found him, he was having a fever of 40 degrees." ”
"So Mr. Wharton transferred the hatred from Zhou Mingyou to Councillor Brooke. Mark sighed, and then he asked, "But Mr. Zhou Ming, aren't you afraid that he will sue you for insider trading in turn?"
"The premise of my insider trading is that you are a witness, Mr. Mark, but will you testify that I am insider trading, or are we cooperating in trading?" Zhou Ming asked.
Mark suddenly replied: "Cooperation, of course." ”
"I also think it's collaboration. ”
Zhou Ming replied with a smile, and at this time, he saw a few people coming out of the building over there, it was Deputy Director Mueller of the FBI with Congressman Brooke, and Wharton followed behind.
