Chapter 127: Anger, Panic

"Is it another misoperation......

After saying that.

Tang Bao himself couldn't help but laugh silently.

Hey.

Since Yang Yang can find out about the Kuwait Investment Authority's shareholding reduction operation, other well-intentioned people can naturally also detect it, especially those reporters who are closely watching the follow-up actions of the Kuwait Investment Authority today, will definitely pull out today's transaction situation.

"Well, boss, the possibility of two consecutive operational errors is very low, and besides, it is two consecutive trading days, and there is no interval ......" Yang Yang disagrees with the statement of misoperation.

on this.

Tang Bao naturally understands that the Kuwait Investment Authority should know that their "misoperation" to reduce holdings yesterday has touched the sensitive nerves of the market, and since they want to make up for it today, they must be careful and careful, and the possibility of making the same mistake again is very low.

But.

And they did it......

The information contained in this has to make people think deeply.

"What do you guys think about this?" Tang Bao looked at Yang Yang, Grafton and the others, asked with a light smile, and sat down on the sofa at the same time.

"Boss, just like Yang said, there have been mistakes for two consecutive trading days, and I haven't noticed it, it's a little weird. It was not so much an operational error as I believe it was deliberate. However, this does not make sense...... The Kuwait Investment Authority, which owns more than 25% of the British BP oil company, is the largest shareholder, and its share price has fallen, and their assets have shrunk the most, directly resulting in huge paper losses. What benefits do they get? Levi, who was small in stature, made a bold guess and said. However, he soon denied himself.

"Deliberately? Levi, do you really dare to think about it...... I think it's just a coincidence. Legge expressed a different opinion.

It's just that after just two days of getting along with Tang Bao, everyone found that Tang Bao, the boss, was very easy to get along with, and everyone gradually let go.

"Well, I'm leaning towards Leger's statement. Although it may seem ridiculous to have operational errors for consecutive trading days, it is not impossible. Galalong said.

"If too many coincidences come together, it may have been premeditated." Grafton was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Let's not talk about the possibility that there will be two consecutive trading days of operational errors and not be detected in time." The timing alone is somewhat suspicious, as someone was shorting BP shares at a time when the Kuwait Investment Authority, which had a decisive influence on stabilizing BP's share price, made a mistake......"

Levi said that the Kuwait Investment Authority deliberately did not make sense. That's right. But it is overlooked that it is all people who trade stocks, and who can guarantee that everyone is completely loyal to the Kuwait Investment Authority? If someone gives an irresistible fortune to the trader in charge, or is physically threatened, then it makes sense that there has been a human 'mistake'. Grafton offered his own speculation.

Hear out.

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, bribery or threats were really possible. Although the vast majority of people in this profession abide by the rules of the profession, there is no shortage of scum. Or helplessness.

"Well, that's a possibility." Tang Bao looked at everyone and analyzed it seriously, and said with a smile. In fact, there is also the possibility that the Kuwait Investment Authority did it on purpose. Then they forced BP and the British government to stop forcing them to cut their shares.

After all.

The reduction of the Kuwait Investment Authority's stake was a reluctant decision in the face of political and diplomatic pressure, and it was simply admitted. Some can't make sense. Obviously unable to compete, it can be replaced by a secret attack, and even Tang Bao is a little suspicious of the mysterious short-selling agency that has suddenly appeared in the past two days. It may all be related to the Kuwait Investment Authority in some way.

……

As Tang Bao expected, after the exchange ceased trading, many people were looking for data about the Kuwait Investment Authority's transactions.

I don't know if I don't look at it.

After reading it, my heart was pounding! In particular, those reporters were excited, their eyes lit up, and they excitedly called back to the editor-in-chief to book a good page, and then began to work hard to polish this big news...... Some of them need to decide how to decide on the title to better attract readers.

The Kuwait Investment Authority sells shares in BP Oil? Kuwait Investment Authority reproduces misoperation? Kuwait Investment Authority cuts meat out of the market......

Journalists are constantly thinking of a variety of eye-catching headlines in their heads.

London, United Kingdom.

"Fack!"

After reading today's transaction data, Peter also spotted the presence of the Kuwait Investment Authority, and he knew that all parties were watching the actions of the Kuwait Investment Authority. The data of several transactions may seem small, but the impact is difficult to estimate. So Peter burst into foul language in anger.

He felt like a fool being played by the Kuwaitis.

Then.

The phone on the desk rang suddenly.

"Hey."

As soon as he finished his fire, Peter's tone was a little gloomy.

"Hello, Mr. Peter, I'm Salim." A familiar voice rang on the other side of the phone.

Well.

Hearing that it was Salim who was looking for him, Peter almost scolded angrily, but in order to maintain his image, he held back. Then he said coldly, "Mr. Salim, I need an explanation!" ”

"Mr. Peter, uh, I know you're going to be angry at the moment. But I have to say, this was a real mistake...... Definitely an accident. Salim said.

“……”

Salim's explanation made him angry, and yesterday he casually proposed to use the excuse of "misoperation" to remedy the sale of shares by the Kuwait Investment Authority, but he did not expect that there would be a real misoperation today. He wanted to die. How could this kind of mistake with a very small probability be bumped into by him.

"Whew."

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Peter said strongly: "Mr. Salim, I can believe your explanation, but will the public believe it?" That's the point......"

"Rest assured, we'll do our best to make it up." Salim swore an oath.

……

Just as Salim and Peter were arguing.

The head of the Kuwait Investment Authority in the United States, Taraka, held another press conference.

This.

There were hundreds of reporters present, most of whom already knew that the Kuwait Investment Authority had reduced its holdings of shares again today, and in connection with the news circulating on Wall Street today, they had reason to believe that the Kuwait Investment Authority would make a very important announcement.

Maybe.

It is a formal admission to reducing the stake in BP oil in the United Kingdom, or it has been sold off as rumored......

"Mr. Taraka, it is said that the Kuwait Investment Authority is secretly selling shares in the British company BP Oil. Excuse me, is this news true? As soon as Taraka appeared, a reporter standing in front of him took the microphone and rushed forward and asked expectantly.

"Please be quiet, and when I finish making an announcement, I will answer everyone's questions one by one." Taraka didn't answer the question directly, but stood next to the microphone and spoke loudly.

Moment.

The reporters were quiet and less crowded. What they fear is that they won't have a chance to ask questions. Since Taraka had said that they would answer their questions, why rush. What's more, everyone is also very curious, this time, Taraka is in a hurry to hold a press conference, what shocking news will be broken.

"Uh-huh...... First of all, I would like to state that the news circulating outside about the Kuwait Investment Authority's sale of BP shares in the UK is all rumours. We remain bullish on BP's prospects and have joined the board of directors. ”

"The second point. As you may have noticed, the Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) has reduced its holdings of another 370,000 shares of BP oil today. You may have doubts, but I would like to say here that this is an absolute mistake. It could be a problem with the trading software, or it could be human error. But this sell-off of stocks was never the intention of the Kuwait Investment Authority! I haven't made the decision to reduce my shareholdings. ”

Misoperation?

Under the press table.

Hundreds of reporters were stunned to hear Taraka's explanation. There are a few who believe in the words of Taraka. The reporter, who continues to hold shares of BP oil company in the United Kingdom, is even more angry and secretly scolded for Nima's misoperation......

This.

Taraka's explanation failed to convince the journalists.

"One last point. In view of the two consecutive mistakes, the impact is bad. We have decided to fire three traders who were in charge of trading. Well, in addition, the Kuwait Investment Authority will withdraw the sale of BP shares from tomorrow...... "Taraka quickly announced the decision.

Then.

Taraka made good on his promise and motioned for the reporters below to ask questions.

Wow.

A few reporters rushed to ask questions first, and although Taraka had already stated several of the key issues they were concerned about, it was clear that the reporters were not convinced......

……

The next day.

Major newspapers and media outlets have reported on the Kuwait Investment Authority's reduction in its stake in BP Oil.

Another misoperation?

Misoperation of going to Nima...... Some investors who own shares in Britain's BP oil company shouted angrily while rushing towards the New York Stock Exchange.

It's time.

The New York Stock Exchange opens on time.

Wow.

The share price of BP oil company in the United Kingdom began to fall, opening at $47, and it is still falling, and the stock selling is gradually increasing.

Apparently.

The Kuwait Investment Authority's mishandling explanation failed to reassure investors, and many people sold their shares.

"It's falling, it's still falling......"

In the VIP trading room, Yang Yang and others stared at the stock price of BP Oil Company in the United Kingdom without blinking, watching it fall again and again, and shouted excitedly.

Hehe.

Tang Bao also smiled, he had already expected this situation.

"Whew. Yang Yang, Legger...... You are all hurrying and getting ready to short sell BP oil shares in the UK! Seeing the increasingly chaotic situation, Tang Bao seized the opportunity to beat the water dogs and further suppress the stock price of BP Oil Company. At this time, there is more than one investor who is short selling, and they are waiting for an opportunity to join in, mixed in the middle, and no one will notice.

"Yes!"

Yang Yang and the others responded, hurriedly sat back on their respective computer disks, and began to operate quickly, after watching the battle for a few days, they couldn't bear it anymore.

And at this time.

There are a series of large sell orders in the market, and the stock price is also falling.

It's obvious.

At this time, it was not only Tang Bao and the mysterious short seller who suppressed the stock price of BP Oil Company in the United Kingdom, but also many people who were fishing in troubled waters and wanted to make a big profit.

Maybe these people have different purposes, some want to sell away, some are short, and some have some purpose......

But.

At this time, these people have a very consistent goal, which is to suppress the stock price of BP oil company in the United Kingdom to the death without giving a chance to ease.

Start, one is more ruthless than the other. The stock price has been falling......

$46.85.

$46.72.

$46.19.

$45.21.

$44.17.

$43......

$42......

……

As soon as they fell to the ground and fell wildly, as if they were going to fall all the way to the bottom, investors who were hesitating and waiting to see panicked and hurriedly joined the sell-off.

"Peter, the stock price is about to drop below $40, and we need to intervene or we'll end up in endless trouble." Ayrt reminded.

"Fack...... Ayrte, hurry up and inform our people to eat these orders. Peter finally couldn't help it, and if the stock price was allowed to fall like this, it might really collapse. (To be continued......)
