Monday, London Stock Exchange.

Early in the morning, a strong wind blew on the streets, and the cold air from the north blew away the haze that shrouded London, showing the sun rarely.

The sun out of London is a rare and rare thing, the name of the fog capital is by no means in vain, the washed clothes have to be put in the house to dry, the weather factors have driven the prosperity of the laundry industry, what is the situation of others Ma Wei is not clear, but his clothes are basically sent to the flower street laundry to solve.

"The weather is good, and it looks like it's going to be a good day."

The second prince walked to the window, squinted his eyes, and looked at the sun in the sky with his hands behind his back.

Today is the day when the Manstein Potions Company is listed, in addition to their company, the Potions Company prepared by the eldest prince and the third prince will also be listed today.

"I heard that the eldest prince and the third prince, their Royal Highnesses, they have prepared very strong funds." Sitting on the couch, Stewart took a cigar in his mouth and said, "I'm afraid there's going to be a big fight today." ”

"Well, they should buy a lot of shares in Manstein's Potions, and we're going to put 30% of the shares in the stock market, which is 6 million shares, and if they sell, these shares will become someone else's pocket...."

After thinking for a moment, the second prince looked at Ma Wei: "Nicholas, how many batches of the 6 million shares you want to invest in the stock market today?" ”

"Three batches." Ma Wei replied: "The first batch of 1.5 million shares, the second batch of 2 million shares, and the third batch of 2.5 million shares, first release a batch to test the water, see the market situation, and wait for the price to rise, and then release the second batch of shares, after noon, to the afternoon when the market opens, release the third batch to finish." ”

It is a normal financial means for stocks to be put into the market in batches, and everyone understands the principle that scarcity is expensive, so hunger marketing can speculate on the stock price, and after the stock price is speculated, the stock will be released to raise funds.

"There are 800,000 shareholders on the London Stock Exchange, today is Monday, with a new company listed, there will be almost 200,000 shareholders coming, and the price of the initial shares cannot be set too high, nor too low...."

The second prince set his sights on the financial team he hired: "Is the plan out?" ”

"It's done, Your Highness."

The leader of the financial team, Giuseppe Haleywood, came with a plan, and in order to ensure that the listing process was foolproof, the second prince hired Giuseppe Harleywood's professional team, and the eldest prince and the third prince also had similar professionals to help.

"We have counted the trading situation on the London Stock Exchange in the last six months, and found that penny stocks between 6p and 2 shillings are the most frequently traded range, and stocks above 2 shillings per share will show a downward trend in the number of transactions as the price climbs."

Giuseppe took the chalk and drew a sketch on the blackboard: "At the same time, the 800,000 shareholders of the London Stock Exchange, not counting the medium and high-priced stocks above 2 shillings, have an average stock holding of around 20 gold pounds, and excluding their long-term holdings, the penny shares have about 16 million gold pounds of room for liquidity." ”

"If we set the price of the initial shares at 2 shillings per share, and then dilute the 6 million initial shares that are ready to be put into the stock market by a factor of 10, then there is hope that we will attract a large number of shareholders who buy penny shares...."

Chalk circles in the lower market, Giuseppe's meaning is already obvious: "Your Highness, I think that our eyes can not only focus on the high-end market, the low-price market profits are also considerable, with the funds in our hands, we can eat the low-price market first, and then enter the high-end market through stock appreciation, so as to ensure the maximization of profits!" ”

"The initial strand is diluted 10 times...."

Listening to Giuseppe's plan, the second prince frowned and said, "If you do this, won't there be 60 million shares of the Manstein Potions Company that will be put on the market today?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness, in this way, when the stock price soars, we can make more money."

"It's more competitive and risky." Next to him, Smith, who was holding champagne and ready to celebrate at any time, suddenly said: "You let us enter the low-price market competition at the beginning, ideally, this can indeed win greater profits, but have you ever thought that Manstein Potions Company is a new company, and it has not yet proved its strength to the grassroots people, and it is difficult to stir up too much waves when it suddenly enters the low-price market." ”

"I've thought about that." Giuseppe replied: "At the first moment of the opening, we can take out a part of the funds and quickly speculate on the stock price, and hesitant stockholders, seeing that the price is soaring, will definitely rush to buy." ”

"Besides, when the market stops at noon, the news of the soaring stock price of Manstein Potions will definitely spread, and at that time, many shareholders will flock to the London Stock Exchange to buy our shares, and at that time, it will be time to make a lot of money."

"Chasing up and down is an enduring habit of stockholders."

After listening to Giuseppe's explanation, the second prince nodded slowly: "The stock price of Manstein Potions Company will definitely skyrocket, I can guarantee this, especially after the bidding is over, when the trade is officially launched, the stock price may rise to an unimaginable level, but we are here today to raise more funds, and the plan to make more money is a good plan." ”

"Diluting equity increases the risk of shorting." Holding champagne, Smith reminded: "Your Highness, Mr. Giuseppe also said just now that chasing up and down is the habit of stockholders, according to his plan, at the beginning, it can indeed attract many stockholders to buy, but in the afternoon, if someone makes a move, buys a large number of our shares and sells them, it is bound to make the stock price begin to fall, at this time, the shareholders who hold our shares will fall into a panic and rush to sell, causing the stock price to dive down!" ”

"When the stock price falls to the bottom, those people can get the most equity at the lowest price!"

Smith said quickly: "Your Highness, we are not without competitors, we must beware of others!" ”

The second prince's body shook slightly, and he woke up from the dream of soaring stock prices, and remembered the eldest prince, the third prince and others who were eyeing each other and raising a large amount of money, and his expression was immediately serious.

Giuseppe's plan is a good plan, but Smith's reminder is not nonsense, finance is the battlefield, and you can make money by predicting the opponent's operation!

At the same time, it can also avoid risks!

"I don't agree with Mr. Smith." Giuseppe lowered his eyes and said in a calm tone: "What you just proposed is that the enemy maliciously shorted our stocks, but have you ever thought that when the enemy sells stocks on a large scale, we can use acquisitions to stabilize the stock price?" ”

"Isn't that going to turn into a money war?" Smith was a little angry and said, "What if someone else has more money than we have?" ”

"Today is the first day of the listing of Manstein Potions." Giuseppe said: "Mr. Smith, we will only release 6 million gold pounds worth of shares, that is, the number of shares circulating in the market is limited, and Mr. Nicholas has 7.7 million gold pounds in cash, we have absolute resistance to the risk of shorting!" Don't be afraid of the enemy shorting the stock at all! ”

"We put out our shares to raise funds! It's not for stock trading! You don't understand the logic! ”

Smith rolled his eyes angrily: "If we use the money to buy back the stocks we put out, we won't make a penny, but we will shrink most of the 7.7 million gold pounds in our hands!" What kind of fool can do this? You're a spy sent by the Great Prince! ”

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Giuseppe's originally calm expression showed a flaw, he stared at the plan in his hand for a long time, and said stupidly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll ask again, Your Highness, your purpose is to raise a lot of money on the day of listing, right?" ”

"Even if it's not the day, make sure you make more money after you go public." The second prince said: "Otherwise, what are we going to do when we go public?" ”

"If the original 7.7 million gold pounds can't be moved, and there are still enemies who want to maliciously short..."

Giuseppe looked at the plan in his hand with a look of embarrassment: "Your Highness, the enemy maliciously shorted our stocks, but we can't afford to defend it, so we can only sit back and wait...."

Finance is like this, others use capital to crush you, you can't deal with it with capital, and the end can be imagined.

"If they short us, can't we short them?"

The second prince shook the wine glass slightly, and in the sun, the amber wine shone brightly: "If they play this kind of trick, we will also play to see who can have the last laugh." ”

At 9 a.m., the London Stock Exchange opened for business, and Monday was the busiest time, when stockholders poured into the hall, watching the prices on the blackboard refresh, taking off the charcoal pinned to their ears, recording the price and stock serial number, and wondering how to buy today.

Some people found that the bronze bell of the exchange today is hung with a red rope, which means that there are new stocks listed, and the news spread quickly, and the shareholders who can't make up their minds quickly put their attention to the opening ceremony half an hour later, wanting to see which stocks are listed today.

At 9:30 a.m., the manager of the London Stock Exchange walked up to the stands where the bronze bell was hung and read aloud the names of the three stocks listed today: in addition to Manstein's Potions, the Great Prince's Brecken's Potions Company and the Third Prince's Yin Di Potions Company.

The Marquis of Brecon is the person of the eldest prince, and it is normal for the Potions Company to be named after him, but the third prince actually named the company after his own son, which is beyond everyone's expectations.

However, this also proves that the third prince has no management talents under him, and he is all soldiers.

Bell –

Bell –

Bell –

With the ringing of the bell three times, the stock market officially opened, and the shares of Manstein Potions Company were also written on the blackboard by the staff, the initial share price was 1 gold pound, and the first batch totaled 1.5 million shares, whether it was the second prince or Ma Wei, they did not adopt the plan of Giuseppe, a professional, just like Smith said, the risk of diluting the stock price to compete for a low price market is too high, their purpose is to raise funds, too high a risk, it must be avoided.

As soon as the stock was listed, it did not cause much uproar, and the price of 1 gold pound per share was too high, which discouraged many shareholders, and even the initial selling price of the potions company of the eldest prince and the third prince was 1 gold pound per share, which was destined to be competition in the high-end market.

Some bold stockholders, having heard the names of Marquis Brecken or Marvi, and knew who the forces behind these three potions companies were, quietly approached the window and spent money to buy stocks.

The sale of small shares had little impact on the broader market, and investors who were on the sidelines suddenly discovered that the price of Manstein's Potions stock was constantly refreshing, and every minute that passed, a staff member would come out of the background, erase the previous price, and write down a new number.

The refresh rate is too high!

In this case, it means that there are big bosses who are crazy about buying stocks!

Shareholders who realized this immediately dispelled the hesitation in their hearts, and suddenly rushed to the purchase window and began to buy shares of the Manstein Potions Company, and the stock price gradually rose from the initial 1 gold pound per share to 1 gold pound 4 shillings and 1 gold pound 6 shillings....

The stock price of Manstein Potions Company rose all the way, while the stock price of the Potions Company of the eldest prince and the third prince rose very slowly, and when the stock price of Manstein Potions Company rose to 1 gold pound 16 shillings, they only had a pitiful 1 gold pound 5 shillings.

The price has opened the gap, in the VIP room, seeing the stock price soaring, the second prince and others, couldn't help but cheer, Smith was even more excited to open the champagne, the cork flew, the golden and clear wine splashed everywhere, and the smell of champagne wafted all over the room.

"Nicholas!"

The second prince came over with two glasses of champagne, handed one of them to Ma Wei, and looked at the blackboard downstairs: "Now the stock price has risen to 2 gold pounds, which has doubled!" It's time to celebrate! ”

"Yes, Your Highness, it's time to celebrate."

Ma Wei took the champagne and smiled, there was no reaction on the surface, but he was already worried in his heart.

It went so well.

The smooth is simply horrible!

The soaring price of stocks means that someone is buying stocks on a large scale, and the second prince should be aware of this, but he didn't say it....

Retail investors in the exchange alone cannot double the stock price in a short period of time, small transactions can indeed make the stock price rise, but it takes time, the price soars in a short period of time, someone must spend a lot of money, continue to buy stocks on the market.

In a stock exchange without electronic devices, everything needs to be done manually, and paper purchases take time, so you can't buy too much at once, you can only buy in batches, which takes a lot of time.

Looking at the rising stock price, Ma Wei did not express his worries, because....

At this moment, the author was sitting on the trading floor, carrying a large sum of cash, buying shares in the Manstein Potions Company.

If there is only one source, the stock price will not rise so quickly, there must be someone else buying the stock!

At 11 o'clock in the morning, after an hour and a half of opening, the share price of Manstein Potions Company has risen to 2 gold pounds 14 shillings per share, and the growth rate has begun to slow down, this price has exceeded the capacity of too many retail investors, but the stock price is still rising, and the exchange without the rule of the limit does not know when it will rise.

More and more shareholders couldn't hold back, they began to sell other stocks in their hands, scrape together funds, and turn to Manstein Potions, and the London Stock Exchange was in chaos for a while, and the trading window was full of people, waving tickets in their hands, shouting the name of Manstein's Potions, so frenzied, it made people chill behind their backs.

It wasn't until the noon shutdown that the exchange returned to calm, and most of the shareholders left the exchange and disappeared.

"In the afternoon, release the second batch of shares, a full 2 million shares, at the current price, can earn us 6 million gold pounds!"

Looking at the final stock price fixed at 3 gold pounds and 1 shilling on the blackboard, the smile on the face of the second prince could not be concealed, on the other hand, Brecken's Potions Company and Yin Di's Potions Company, their stock prices were only 2 gold pounds, which was a full third worse than Manstein's Potions Company!

In one morning, 3.15 million gold pounds were also raised for the Manstein Potions Company, which is comparable to printing money!

Ma Wei knew in his heart that the soaring stock price was not the credit of Manstein Potions, but the behind-the-scenes manipulation of capital and the scramble of shareholders to follow.

It's a financial farce through and through!

You don't need to pay anything substantial, you just need to take out the currency and invest it in the stock market, and you can make an uproar, what did Manstein Potions do?

Nothing was done.

It's just that with money, it's just money.

If there is no actual goods to support, sooner or later the prosperity will dissipate like a flower in the mirror, and the second prince, who knows this, asked Ma Wei again: "How is the establishment of the Potions Factory?" Is there still a shortage of manpower? ”

"Yesterday I interviewed Stuart for a day, recruited a lot of workers, need to train them systematically, as well as machines, I have also placed an order with the steel mill, several steel mills are working overtime to manufacture, within a month, it will definitely be able to manufacture an assembly line."

"That's good." The second prince nodded: "I have fulfilled my promise, the rest of the potions company, but it depends on your ability, Nicholas, if we can win the bid in a month, the stock price will rise, if we can't take it.... Let's talk about it then! Today is a happy day! ”

After clinking glasses, the Suowei Hotel sent a delicate lunch, on the important day of listing, the second prince and the others did not have the idea of leaving the exchange, eating, drinking, and Lazar were all solved here, and how much money they could make depends on today.

"I'll go to the bathroom."

After lunch, Ma Wei got up and left the VIP room, walked down the stairs, left the exchange, and saw the communication at the back door.

"Big brother! This way, this way! ”

The communication sneaked out of the corner and found a place where no one was around.

"How's it going over there? How many shares were bought? ”

"I spent 2 million gold pounds and bought 1 million shares, which is equivalent to 5% of the shares...."

Hearing this number, Ma Wei frowned: "So little? ”

"The price is rising so fast that it's too late to buy!"

The source looked around and said in a low voice:

"Someone, like me, is buying shares in our company! Guess who I saw? ”

"Who?"

"Freya!"
