Chapter 206: You're Not Enough!
This is called a trading day, where Flren sells off borrowed shares before the market closes. Still, he and Neil Gaeddes were too small to push the price above $58 for those institutions. This price is quite higher than the lowest price of the session at $55.8.
The closing price of GE shares fell again today, and by a larger margin than in the previous session.
He came to Link with a smile on his face. Still, Fllen wasn't entirely happy that GE stock was falling again. The main reason is that he suddenly has one more ally.
Today, he has been following the operation of Gaddis and found that Gaddis has been doing everything in his power to suppress GE's stock.
He was still not 100% sure if Neil Gaddis was playing tricks. But today's GE stock performance is even weaker than yesterday's, and market confidence is sure to fall with it.
In the small bar of the hotel suite, he mentioned Neil Geddes to Link, and he was very admirable: "Judging from today's operation, he is more good at shorting." It's no wonder that the key to his twice-famous record is shorting. The stocks he sold today were far less than the Stoll sell-off, but they had a greater impact on the market. If it weren't for him, perhaps GE would still close above $60 today. ”
Link clutched a glass of Johnnie whiskey on the rocks, the icy liquor that kept him calm. Today is the second day.
For a short period of time, he will not be able to reactivate the "Let's be unlucky together" ability. To fight GE, tomorrow is the last chance. But now the situation is far more than he expected, he needs to calm down, and he needs to get his head running at high speed.
He heard that Fren seemed to be very fond of Neil Geddes. That Neil Geddes's operation today also seems appropriate and secretive. He didn't believe anyone would change suddenly without a motive. But neither he nor Flon were sure of each other's true intentions.
At such times, he does not hesitate to speculate on others with the greatest malice. He took a sip of the wine, and the spicy liquid made him frown slightly. He said, "Is he trying to fool us?" As the saying goes, if you want to deceive the enemy, you must first deceive your own people. Neil Gadis's betrayal of GE is real, but it's all too sudden.
Fren had that concern. He nodded and said, "Actually, I have that kind of suspicion too. I've had people look it up. ”
Link shook his head and said, "If he really has another purpose, we may not be able to find out." ”
If the other party is setting up a game, what they can find out in a short period of time is probably something that the other party deliberately exposed.
Flon thought for a moment and said, "So, let's assume we don't know?"
Link smiled and said, "yes, let's pretend we don't know!" no matter what the other party wants to do. At most, they'll have to do it tomorrow for another day. If the other party wants to win their trust, they will definitely continue to "cooperate" tomorrow. After tomorrow, they will retreat in full. No matter what the other party's purpose is, it has nothing to do with them.
It's just that he thinks it's too much of a pity this time. Today he bought the stock, and something bad did happen. For example, I slipped while going to the toilet, and when I ate, I sucked food crumbs into my trachea and coughed for a long time. Dropped a glass while drinking water. But as a result, those bad things didn't affect the stock market.
At the beginning, Link said that he would only operate for two more days, and it was because of this that Fren proposed to act as if he didn't know anything. In his opinion, tomorrow GE's stock will definitely fall by a few more dollars.
Flon thought for a moment and said, "I don't think we have to wait until the market closes at the end. I think they will still sell in the middle of the market as they did today, and buy back at a later stage. We can continue to operate in the morning and start covering the position after the market closes at noon. ”
Link felt that if he did that, he would have no room to maneuver. Although he basically doesn't do much.
He thought for a moment and said, "If you want to change your modus operandi, let me know in advance!"
Flon was a little strange at his request. However, he regarded it as an investor's request and agreed without asking too much.
At this time, someone rang the doorbell. Jessica, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, went to open the door, and it wasn't long before she came in with two people. Jessica said to Link, "Link, this Mr. Geddes and Mr. Heck said they were looking for you. ”
Fren saw two people, one thin and one fat, and stood up in surprise: "Neil Geddes?"
Link had already guessed that it was him when he heard Jessica say the surname Geddes, and now that Fren had called out, he stood up.
Neil Gaddis was wearing a black jacket and looked very ordinary, but the confidence in his eyes made him look very energetic. He took the initiative to reach out his hand: "Mr. Hans, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Hello, Mr. Geddes. We were just talking about you. ”
"Yes, hopefully we're not joking at the billions of dollars we've given you!" Neil said plainly. "That made me sick all night! You know, it really hurts. ”
Link smiled and shook his head and said, "No, we're talking about the big things you're doing in India. By the way, this is Fren, I think you must know it. ”
Neil smiled and stretched out his hand like Flon said, "Of course I do!" Flon Pitt, who once snatched at least eighty-one dollars from my projected proceeds, took nearly three billion dollars directly from me this time. I can't remember it or not. But I actually admire you, Mr. Pitt, and if I fail this time, your experience may inspire me to make a comeback. ”
Furlen smiled and said, "Just call me Furlen." I just told Link that you're the most likely standard-bearer for the younger generation on Wall Street. ”
Neil just tugged at the corners of his mouth. Introduce his fat partner to the two of them: "This is my good friend and my partner, Claire Hawke." ”
Link beckoned the two of them to sit down, raised his glass and said, "Johnnie Red Card, come a little?"
Flon poured wine for the two Neils.
Link clinked glasses with them and said, "Neil, I think your time is precious, too. I'll get straight to the point, you came to me?"
Neil didn't drag his feet at all: "Cooperation!"
Fren and Link looked at each other, and both felt expected by his words.
Although Link has made up some knowledge of finance during this time, he is not a professional in this issue. So he looked at Fren.
Furlen groaned for a moment and said to Neil, "So how do you want to work together?"
"Just like today, short GE. Claire twitched her ass and said. "Because of the broker's mistakes, our losses were very large. Even if we successfully complete GE's commission, we will not be able to compensate for our losses. So we've given up on working with GE. ”
Link listened to him, his fingers pinched the bottom of the wine glass and turned, but he didn't speak.
Fren was silent for a moment and said, "Claire, Neil." We were surprised that you suddenly said you wanted to work together!"
Neil tugged at the corners of his mouth, nodded and said, "You can't trust us." Of course I understand. If someone suddenly was an opponent yesterday, today they suddenly come to the door and say that they want to cooperate. I also feel like the world is crazy. He took a long sip of wine and continued. "Actually, I'm just going to work with you this time. As for the future, we may still be your rivals to the death. After all, you took a lot of money from Geddes. That almost cost me everything. ”
Not to be outdone, Fren said, "Neil, others say you're the Fox of Wall Street, and I think you must know the rules of Wall Street." ”
"So I came to you today to ask for cooperation. "The core rule of Wall Street is money. Neil means that he came to them to work with them just for money, not for their friendship.
Fren glanced at Link. He stared at the cup with his eyelids down, as if he hadn't heard what they were saying. He re-confronted Neil and said, "Neil, we don't feel like we need to work together. We're on good terms today, aren't we?"
"Yes, today's operation allowed Gaddis to indeed win back some losses. But that's not enough. Neil took a long sip of his wine, his expression unchanged. "Yesterday's loss has cost Gaddis most of its investors. If most of the losses are not recovered, Gaddis will go bankrupt. So I'd like to see GE stock plummet. Like Link you said. ”
Link heard this, looked up and said, "Neil, I admit you're confident. The stock crash is exactly what I want to see. But judging from the situation in the past two days, our strength is very weak compared to GE. What else do you think we could possibly do to send their stock price plummeting. ”
"They can't hold it anymore!" Neil said with a fact. He looked at Flon and said. "I think Flon guessed that, too. ”
Furren smiled, not saying yes or no.
Neil didn't have to answer either. He continued, "We are entrusted by GE to sell a huge number of GE shares. We've been operating for a while, but yesterday, we were forced to buy back a lot. Not only did that cost us a lot of money, but it also caused considerable damage. I'm sure you can guess that, too. ”
This time, he didn't pause for Flon to speak, and went on directly: "Last night Gaddis interrupted GE's commission. For this, we compensated the other side $500 million. ”
Flon said a little incomprehensibly, "Since you used to work with GE, I think it's against the rules of the industry for you to short their shares now." ”
He said this bluntly, and still didn't believe what Neil said.
Neil sneered and said, "So what? Unless they're bankrupt, they won't tell these things!"
Fren was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's just as well." The fact that they quietly sold stocks in the secondary market is indeed not visible. Even if they are discovered, they will not admit it, and they will indeed not take the initiative to expose it. If the stock price plummets in the future, they will lose the entire stock market. ”
If what GE is doing now is exposed, they don't want shareholders to buy their shares in the future, they can just delist it. And things are done quietly, as long as the relationship is settled, the CSRC will not investigate their shareholders. But if it is exposed, the story will be different.
Link was noncommittal to Neil, saying, "Neil, it's tempting to make GE stock plummet. But we've got what we wanted. So I'm sorry!"
Neil laughed when he heard this, and said, "No." Flon may have gotten what he wanted. But Link, you're not getting enough. ”
