In fact, the U.S. cinema chain is fundamentally different from the listed companies that Mel Pfister shorted before.

If the company deserved it before, it was all guilty of making false accounts and then pulling the stock price to make money, and no one should be completely sympathetic, unless it was the counterfeiter's peers, who lamented the misfortune while playing with their lives to pick up blood chips, but neither side delayed.

Compared with these bastard companies, the national cinema chain actually seems quite "innocent".

His family's financial statements are all true, or look very "true", all the collusion relationships are complete, and all information disclosure is completely legal, as for insider trading...... No...... Because, the company looks like a bird, and no one even wants to engage in a rat barn.

Basically, he is in a state of lying on the spot, and he has no intention of struggling, but he also has no courage to fake.

Even from Mel Pfister's vicious eyes, its statements and public information can only be said to be slightly flawed, not enough to be the trigger for shorting, and these small problems can be explained by sound accounting opinions.

But there are two reasons why this stock was chosen.

First of all, Mel Pfister decided to make it big.

The boss company that died under the baton of sodium citrate capital before was not large, and it has always been unpopular and respected in the market, usually behind it is some unpopular capital and company management collusion to create fake data and false statements to pull up the stock price.

It's not too difficult to empty these goods - this is just for Mel Pfister.

But the benefits are not much, although compared with the investment, it is often a rate of return of hundreds of percent, but in terms of absolute returns, it is not much, and these garbage companies themselves are not worth much.

For Mel Pfister, these junk companies are just a tool for him to practice his skills, and without his intervention, they would have been delisted in a very short time.

Although the stock price has been half-dead for a long time, and the company's management seems to have completely lost its enterprising spirit and dragged the company to survive, this is a large-scale listed company with national influence, and in its long business history, its tentacles have penetrated into thousands of households.

As long as you are a citizen of the United States, there is no one who does not know the national cinema chain, whether it is in Alaska or Puerto Rico, or even in the distant jungle of the Indochina Peninsula, the national cinema chain has become synonymous with the United States, and it has become a symbol deeply imprinted in the minds of every American person.

If the (nominal) squeezing of this behemoth can be successful, the expansion of the sodium citrate capital and the rise of Mel Pfister's reputation are huge benefits.

This is the first reason why he was targeted.

The second reason is simpler.

Through the services of the data company he purchased, Mel Pfister found that the stocks of theaters in the United States have an extremely rare feature, that is, the stock price is low, but there are many shareholders in Nima!

The capital market is a mature capital market, and institutional traders occupy the absolute mainstream.

The good way to say it is that through education, individual investors understand that it is the wisest choice to entrust their money to professional investment institutions and collect dividends by themselves.

To put it mildly, retail investors have been repeatedly cut leeks by institutions, not to mention, individual leeks have been uprooted, retail investors are frightened by the "professional" and "bold" of this group of professional investors, seeing that there is no way to enter the sky and no way to enter the earth, they can only obediently admit defeat and hand over their hard-earned wealth.

Of course, "boldness" is also an important component of "professionalism".

These institutions are also right because of the trust of retail investors, and they have partnered to pull the stock market higher and higher, so the returns are naturally good.

From stock investment retail investors to fund investment retail investors not only preserved the principal, but also had good dividends, after a long time, everyone pinched their noses and acquiesced.

Usually, it is normal for a stock to have a few thousand shareholders, and the number of shareholders of a large company such as IBM is 20,000.

But the National Cinema Chain is a special case, and the number of his shareholders is more than 50,000, and the number of positions is not large.

What does this mean?

Retail investors are the mainstay.

What does it mean that retail investors are dominant?

Stocks do not have big market makers in place and cannot form a joint force to deal with external crises.

When Mel Pfister saw this data, the sentence "Mom, I killed someone, I put a gun to his head, pulled the trigger, and he died".

Mel Pfister liked this song, although he thought the singer was a soft egg, even if this guy had actually made a bomb, but he would never dare to face blood and killing, where did he look like a man?

Unlike him, Mel Pfister, who sat in a luxurious and spacious office in a well-fashioned striped waistcoat and a custom shirt with cufflinks, looked polite, but in reality, he had several lives on his hands.

Of course, it was those unlucky people who were not good at learning and doing things properly, and they were defeated by him Mel Pfister who seized the opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop, and these unlucky ones immediately turned into soft eggs in the blink of an eye, just like Clark Kent entered the phone booth, and then jumped off the rooftop......

It has nothing to do with him.

Now he felt as if he had become a member of a firing squad, and the large-caliber Colt pistol in his hand was aimed at the heads of theaters across the United States.

If it were usual, the trigger would have been pulled long ago.

But this time is different, the whole American cinema chain is an old stock in the end, and there is no major problem in the statement.

Shorting is also about the basic law, and it can't be forced, otherwise Wall Street will use various methods to educate people who don't follow the rules.

Mel Pfister opted for another method of shorting.

Since stocks are the immediate realization of a company's future earnings, what if the company is in shambles or has no future at all?

For this reason, since three months ago, Sodium Citrate Capital began to publish reports on the future market of the national cinema chain every three or five times.

In fact, everyone in the market can see that this company really has no future, and it is a matter of time before it ends, but I just don't know when it will return to heaven completely.

Maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, and everyone doesn't bother to study it in detail.

However, as a professional short-selling institution, sodium citrate capital is best at making something out of nothing, and the researcher under Mel Pfister swears that this broken company will be finished in another five years, or even three years.

At that time, the stock price of theaters in the United States was still up at $3......

Mel Pfister also made full use of his advantages and frequently gave interviews to various media.

The speech must involve contempt for the national cinema chain companies, and use the fruits of his previous shorting as evidence of his precise vision.

The United States is a country that worships heroes, in other words, it has a strong plot of individual heroism.

Mel Pfister single-handedly shorted the evil companies that were faked, and he was morally inherently righteous - he was simply the chivalrous Robin Hood or Nasredding in the stock market, relying on his wits and ability to punish the bad guys, and even profiting a lot from protecting his colleagues, which is simply a favorite subject of the media.

There are even films based on him that are already in the works, the script is in place, and the producers are looking for the right actor, including but not limited to Paul Newman, Sean Connery, Marlon Brando, and Ken Takakura......

Of course, there is also news that the investment in making the movie comes entirely from Mel Pfister himself, and is suspected of money laundering, but whether it is him or Ammonium Citrate Capital's attitude towards such news, it is "It's really for me, and it's also for sodium citrate capital to pour dirty water!" Nonsense! I was so angry! ”

And repeat many times "a bunch of nonsense!" ”

This can be seen in his anger.

Mel Pfister even quoted Mao's romantic poem "Dare to compete with evil spirits and not give an inch to the overlord" in a recent interview with FakeNews.

In the end, he said that this time he quit the investment world and returned to his hometown to get married.

It's a pity that he can't learn the arts, so he pretends to be uncounted, and reads the overlord as a king.

Let Edward, who happened to see this paragraph, have black lines on his face, and he can't understand why this guy looks like a successful person, why he can't get along with the kind of creature with a shell on his back and a green hat.

At the same time, this is also the main reason for him and Mel Pfister to fight against each other, in a certain dream he muttered: "This flag dares to stand, if you don't find a chance to fuck the fuck, I'm really sorry for the ancestors of the loving family......"

……

In the small building, which Edward named the "Law Office", the combat meeting was still going on.

Today is the second day.

Yesterday's full day made everyone feel very tired.

Carl Wright also knew that this would not work, and that these clever minds had to be given a good rest.

Yesterday I finished talking about strategy and basic tactical operations.

Today I will focus on the campaign and logistics.

The first is funding:

Although this was a group operation, Edward, Carl Wright and Hansen all discussed that the operation must be dispersed as much as possible, so as to reduce splashes and facilitate covert operations.

Rep. George Duffy, Rep. David Hill, Solomon, Six Sisters, and Edward are all five people.

Each side contributed US$400,000, for a total of US$2.4 million.

The extra 400,000 belonged to Edward, who represented not only himself, but also another force, his grandfather and old Nizo.

Edward felt that these two people were old and well-behaved, and with their influence in Polo Park and Brooklyn, they were indeed qualified to get involved.

In case the other dog jumps over the wall and wants to give himself a physical solution, it is estimated that he will have to rely on this group of ground snakes to protect his own safety.

But the composition of the $400,000 is much more complicated, with Mizrasi Rabi and Old Nizo being the majority, and the other participants, Stan Gordon and his horseboy, Santo Pamela and his colleagues, and even Sanchez Forensic Medicine have all invested $5,000 in it - after all, this is the way back, although Edward doesn't want to see blood, but he doesn't like to solve the problem directly.

In the case of Bergman, Sanchez demonstrated a subtle office political technique that made an otherwise difficult case simple and straightforward in an instant - the only regret is that the bastard who shot and killed the two people has not yet been caught, and John Gauti is also struggling in the bureau.

Lord Don of the Genoves family, "Blame Tony", is nowhere to be found, and the territory of the Nizo family is expanding day by day.

Speaking of which, there is the blood and sweat of Sanchez Forensic Medicine, so everyone is in the same boat, and when you can make money, of course, you can't forget your friends, especially those who have a lot of interests.

Each nominee then incorporates a number of investment companies.

These companies will be the main institutions in the secondary market.

Then, Carl Wright also registered an investment advisory firm called Robin Hood – for the simple reason that investment advisory firms could openly express their views and opinions on investments in the market, but required the boss and the speaker to be certified, both by Carl Wright and Hansen.

This company will be Edward's basic voice and point of view, and each side will set aside $100,000 into the company's account, which will be of great use in the future.

As for the rest, they can only hope for Hansen.

That night, everyone dispersed.

Edward sat in the living room, bored watching TV, polishing his plans.

The choice before him was very big: should he touch the bedroom at the end of the corridor on the second floor tonight?

That's where Beth Harmon lives.

The remaining guest bedrooms are occupied by Carl Wright and Cyraree, respectively.

Beth Harmon was sent to the door, and she had already coveted it, and if she pretended not to eat, it would be thundering.

But if men and women have slept with each other, each other's eyes, words and movements will change to some extent, and it is impossible to hide it in the eyes of insiders.

It's a pity that Megan and Elena are insiders of insiders.

Edward wasn't afraid of them.

But when he thought of the two of them going into battle together, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and suddenly felt that his waist was sore, his back was also painful, and his legs were also soft, and a cold breath started from the prostate and rushed straight to his brain, making his brain calm down instantly.

After all, the body matters!

However, at this moment the doorbell rang.

Edward was stunned, who would come over on this big night?

It's okay to call if there's something to do.

And it's not that easy to come to here.

On the front and back of the house, there were people from the Nizzo family as secret guards, and at the door stood Thiago's hardcore subordinates to prevent those with bad intentions.

After the Bergman case, Edward felt like he had grown a lot.

On the one hand, I finally have a family relationship with my grandfather, and on the other hand, I have also experienced the freedom of a free country.

At the moment, he directly touches other people's money, which is more powerful than killing his parents.

As the saying goes, dogs jump over the wall in a hurry, and people hang the beams in a hurry, which is the concept of the Chinese, which is really not resistant, and it does not consume social resources to die.

But here, most of the time the other party sneaked up on him and hung Edward on the beam......

But since the other party can pass two posts, it should be more credible.

And the plan hasn't started yet, and the news won't leak out so quickly.

Opening the door, a young man with a noticeably recessed hairline and chin, which made his mouth look deflated all the time, looked like an old lady, and the young man held out his hand towards him. Also wearing an outdated old-fashioned cloak, this looks even more old-fashioned.

"Hello, Mr. Edward, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Edward's pupils constricted.

Although the other party was a promising young man, he did not shake hands with him, but said coldly, "I remember that I didn't give you the address here." ”
