"Damn, what the hell is going on, who's sniping us?"

John. Mark was furious, like an enraged lion, and the group of subordinates around his office desk looked at each other, not even daring to breathe.

The violent fluctuations in Stanley's stock intraday not only the market, but even Stanley's own people were stunned, and the subsequent reversal of God made them even more dumbfounded. Then the entire trading department of Stanley immediately got busy, trying to find out the real reason behind the incident.

It's just that what confuses them is that they can't find any clues about this turmoil, and they can't even confirm the true identities of the two sides in the battle. Despite the scouting of Stanley's traders, there was no reliable news in the market, and despite all the claims, they were quickly clarified by the suspects.

So when this vague report was submitted to John. On Mark's desk, the chairman, who was known for his gentle temper, was furious and lost his temper in public.

John. Mark's fear is not only the disappointment of his research and trading departments, but also the possible ripple effects of the market. Although the full-day trading is only about 10% of Stanley's market capitalization, the impact is by no means as simple as that. The whole world knows that Stanley and the Huaxia consortium are in contact, and now they know that there is a force that is blatantly shorting Stanley.

What is the inevitable connection between this? There's so much room to associate with!

For example, there was news leaked in advance, and the Huaxia Consortium and Stanley collapsed; Or rather, Stanley is on the verge of bankruptcy; It is more likely that the Huaxia consortium is secretly shorting Stanley, hoping to gain more say in the next negotiations.

No matter what kind of message it is. All of them are a huge negative for Stanley.

But Jean John. What annoys Mark the most is that whatever the news is, it is not the truth.

"John, this may have been a fortuitous event. It could be that there was a problem with the hedge fund's procedures, triggering a closing order. The truth of the matter may not be as complicated as we think. ”

A senior trader frowned and thought for a long time, then said hesitantly. But after he said it. I was worried in my heart, because the possibility was too small.

Sure enough, John. Like a cat that has been stepped on by the tail, Mark immediately jumped up, "Nonsense, nonsense, this is impossible, this is impossible!" ”

Don't say that he, as the chairman of Stanley, is just an ordinary trader in Stanley. Experienced less dark events? Even many sensational big events in the market have their covert involvement. Now that disaster has befallen them, it would be self-deception to say that it might have been a fortuitous event.

John. Mark roared at the possibility of dismissing, and the next moment he miraculously calmed down. Once he started the conspiracy theory mode, his head was extraordinarily bright, which has to be said to be related to his long-term experience.

"Let's first analyze what benefits our Stanley institutions will gain from today's market by shorting them!" Calm down John. Mark, his head moving quickly. Begin to seriously analyze today's market.

"There is a possibility! It was a group of people who shorted today, and it was another group of people who sniped them later. Traders are thinking along this line. It was not long before someone put forward the hypothesis, "But it is unlikely that the latter group of people will be Chinese, because if they absorb chips in this way, although they are very liquid, they will soon touch the red line of 10%." Most importantly, they are unlikely to achieve their strategic intentions. ”

"It doesn't matter what the other party's intentions are. To be sure, they are beneficial to us, so there is no need to pay attention to the identity of the other party. "John. Mark waved his hand and signaled the trader not to dwell on the identity of the buyer, "Our trouble is the seller, the short seller. There is no doubt about it. They harbor deep malice towards us. What I want to know is, what exactly do they rely on to dare to short us so brazenly? ”

"Found it! Found it! ”

At this moment, a trader ran in excitedly and said excitedly, "I just found out the identity of the buyer, it is a sub-fund of Tianyu Fund." ”

When he saw that everyone in the office was looking at him, the trader was stunned, and continued unnaturally: "But when we traced it, the other party seemed to have deliberately revealed his identity. According to the traders we contacted, the other party is the only institution that does not recognize or deny it, and it is this ambiguous attitude that allows us to be sure that they are the one who buys. ”

"Why are they buyers, not sellers?" John. Mark asked, staring at the trader with a blazing gaze.

"Because when our people are asking, they are talking about whether the other party has recently closed positions on a large scale!" The trader quickly explained, "Our people are asking around the market, and some of them are asking if there has been a big move recently. Another group of people asked if there was a large-scale liquidation or buying, and I believe that the traders on the other side understood what we were asking. ”

"So do you close the position or buy it?" John. Mark asked again.

"I don't know!" The trader was visibly flustered, "It's unlikely that we'll be able to inquire about this, knowing that it could involve their positions." However, according to our judgment, it is very likely to be a buy! ”

"No, I already know, it's closing!"

John. At this moment, Mark suddenly understood that Tianyu Fund had already set its sights on him, and it was very likely that he had secretly shorted himself in the market a long time ago, and now the sudden sell order in the market made them realize that this was a good opportunity to close their positions, so they risked their identities to close their positions in the market.

As for why, of course, it was the reason why he had contact with Zhong Shi.

For a time, John. Mark was unusually bitter in his heart, scared and glad. Helplessly, the other party has coveted Stanley Company for a long time, and he didn't even notice it. Thankfully, I was on the right side at a critical time, and now is the time to reap the rewards.

A room full of traders were stunned, they didn't know that John. Something Mark once had contact with Bell Stone. But since John. Mark insisted that the position was closed, and they were more or less able to guess something.

I remembered that Tianyu Fund was secretly closing its position. That is, they no longer shorted Stanley, and they felt a burst of excitement. Perhaps they don't feel as much as John. Mark is so complex and profound, but it's all a good thing.

"I think there's another short-selling target, and I'm a bit of an eyebrow!"

John. Mark said lightly. Now that Zhong Shi has made a move, the identity of the short seller is already about to come out. Although it is impossible to prove. But John. Mark is seventy or eighty percent sure that the large-scale shorting in the market is the work of Soros and his quantum fund.

It's just that he already knows that he is negotiating with the Huaxia Consortium, why did Soros choose to make trouble at this time, John. Mark thought hard for a long time, unable to understand.

"There was trouble with the cash account, and several more hedge funds withdrew their funds today."

While traders were still talking about today's market, CFO Colm. Kelleher walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he announced the unpleasant news, "Our form is getting stricter and stricter. Unusual volatility in the stock market today. Make some funds realize that something is wrong. I've asked, and that's the concern for most of them. ”

Sure enough, the time to come is still coming. John. Mark steadied his mind, tried to make a calm appearance, and asked, "How long can we last with the remaining funds?" ”

"Friday, Friday at most!" Colm. Kelleher made a silent calculation in his mind and gave a desperate answer.

In the last week. Colm. Kelleher once said that Stanley's cash would only last Friday. But that time they survived. But this time, John. Mark was still hoping for a miraculous rebirth, but he couldn't guarantee that he would still have such good luck.

"Sue the Chinese people, I am ready to agree to their conditions!"

Just hesitated for a moment, John. Mark made a serious decision in this busy office. Prior to this, although negotiations with Huatou were still continuing. But Stanley's top brass still couldn't make up their minds. But now, the situation has changed from the same, and Soros and his funds have been impatient to declare war, and the speed of capital flight has accelerated sharply. If he can't reach an agreement with the Huaxia people, I'm afraid that Stanley will only be left with bankruptcy.

As for the transformation into a bank holding company, the Fed has made it clear that it can be transformed into a bank holding company, but for Stanley's huge debt, there must be a large injection of funds, otherwise the Fed will refuse to refinance Stanley. This also means that Stanley has to find a big buyer.

As for Zhong Shi, it is even more important to think about it, because the other party is closing the position, and it is already good that they are not shorted.

So think about it, John. Mark was well aware that maybe Stanley had only one last way to be bought by the Huaxia people, so when making decisions, he didn't even avoid this room full of traders, anyway, sooner or later, they might know tomorrow morning.

Shaking his head in disgust, John. Mark stumbled out of the office. At the moment of making the decision, he only felt stuffy in his chest, wanted to go out to breathe, and walked aimlessly.

But the moment he walked out of the room, there was an astonishing scene on the TV that froze everyone.

At the Stanley headquarters, there are LCD TVs hanging on the walls everywhere, and this is an age of information, especially in the market closely related to various events, so it is inevitable to keep track of all kinds of information, and even the bathrooms are equipped with televisions, so that traders can track the global market at their convenience.

Just in John. When Mark opened the door, the original CNBC footage suddenly jumped to the venue, and a respectable-looking person was shouting.

"Live?" John. Mark's heart moved, and he looked up and recognized it as Mr. Rogers, a senior Republican congressman, "What is he talking about?" What happened? ”

Generally speaking, if there is no heavy dà thing happening, the four major television networks in the United States will not broadcast live at the same time. But now whether it's CNBC, or FOX, or CBS, they're relaying the lawmaker's speech, which means something big is wrong.

“…… Republicans will not accept the bailout. Our principles and positions remain the same, and it is our eternal goal to preserve this country. But we will not allow a portion of taxpayers' money to be used to subsidize greedy Wall Street capitalists, and that should not be our style. Especially those institutions that are in contact with the red countries, we should not help them. It's not just about the jobs of ordinary Americans, it's about the security of the nation......"

Almost instantly, John. Mark understood that who was the "agency in contact with the red countries" that Congressman Rogers was talking about, wasn't it Stanley, who is currently in contact with Huaxia Investment?

As soon as he thought of what the congressman said, he immediately realized that the deal between Stanley and CTIC was very likely to fall through, and even if the deal was announced to be completed now, it was very likely that it would not be approved by the regulatory authorities. John. Mark finally knew what was wrong, and he felt that it was dark in front of him, and the world was spinning, and then he fell to the ground unconscious.

John. Mark fainted in full view! (To be continued......)
