Chapter 17: The Real Capitalists
"Dididi! Drip, drip! The monitoring device picked up the signal that Richard woke up, and the alarm was immediately raised, and the doctors and nurses rushed to hear the news.
"What's wrong with me?" Richard Weeks stared blankly at the crowd.
"Sir, this is the UCLA Medical Center, where you have been treated since your car accident!" The attending doctor hurriedly examined Richard.
When the inspection was completed, the shareholders of Weeks Biotech also rushed to hear the news, their faces full of surprise and excitement, as long as Richard woke up well, the company's stock price would rise immediately.
"Dr. Drum, how's Richard doing? Has he fully recovered? Several shareholders asked in unison.
Dr. Durham's brow furrowed, staring at the examination report without saying a word, and the shareholders' hearts were hanging again.
It took a long time for Dr. Drum to reply, "All kinds of test data show that there is no problem, Mr. Weeks only has a slight concussion and abrasions, but I still can't find the reason why he fell into a coma before, let alone how he woke up!" ”
"So he's doing well now, isn't he?" The shareholders breathed a sigh of relief that they didn't manage what had gone wrong with Chad Weeks, as long as he could wake up.
Let Richard stand up and refute the rumors, pull back the stock price to keep their wealth, and then the rest can be operated slowly.
Whether it is to continue to hold the stock or to find a big boss to take over at the right time, there is time to do it, and all this will be decided according to Richard's physical condition.
"If there is no problem with these data, then he can be discharged from the hospital now, but I still recommend that he be hospitalized for a few more days and have a few specialists consult with him." Dr. Drum said cautiously.
"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?" Richard stroked his forehead, the prolonged coma made him uncomfortable.
"Richard, it's great to see you wake up!" A shareholder hurriedly stepped forward and shook his hand, his face full of concern.
He seemed to forget that he was still cursing the other party just now, and said with concern, "The most important thing for you now is to cooperate with the doctor for an examination, and then rest well, and wait for other things to wait until you recover." ”
Now that Richard has woken up, there is no need to worry about the rest, anyway, now that the stock price of Weeks Biotechnology has fallen to the bottom, it will not fall anywhere if it waits for two more days.
Instead, they can use this opportunity to buy stocks, so that when Richard comes forward to pull back the stock price, they can make a lot of money.
"No, I want to know everything right now!" Richard knew too much what these shareholders were going on, and he wouldn't dare delay it too long.
At his insistence, the shareholders told the company about the problems he encountered after he fell into a coma, and finally Richard decisively ordered, "Immediately call reporters for a press conference!" I have to pull the stock price back! ”
The shareholders regretted that they would not have time to operate by calling the reporter so soon, but now no one dared to disobey Richard's order, and they could only do it.
"Todd, have them all sign a non-disclosure agreement forbidding the disclosure of any information about my condition...... Nancy, call Abbott and them over to come with me to the press conference and ask them to get the materials ready, and I'll say at the press conference that I'm waking up because of the company's newly developed gene therapy drug......"
Richard thought it was a great opportunity and it would be wasted to be satisfied with just pulling the company's share price back to where it was.
It's a good time to get the word out about the gene therapy drugs that the company is developing, which will definitely bring the stock price to a higher level.
"Okay, let's do it right away!" The company's legal affairs, assistants, public relations and other professionals immediately got busy, some started to call, some immediately took out their computers to change the template agreement, and forced Durham and others to sign it.
Shareholders were impressed by Richard's decision, this guy is not one of those nerds who only knows how to research and development, he is just as good at capital operation as it is about speculation.
A few of them just wanted to hold a press conference early to refute the rumors, but Richard could take this opportunity to hype, perhaps this is why he became a billionaire at a young age.
Damn, this is a real capitalist, who doesn't miss any opportunity to make money, even if he can take advantage of it.
Fang Xiu was amazed when he saw this scene, if he had such a level in his previous life, why would he be an ordinary person? It is estimated that he has already made a fortune.
The press conference was scheduled for two hours later, and the venue was at the hospital, where Fox Biotech staff were urgently setting up the venue, while Richard and his men discussed the various situations that might be encountered at the press conference and came up with solutions one by one.
It's called professionalism! Fang Xiu gave them a thumbs up, and then immediately threw all his money out to buy shares of Vics Biotech.
He knew that as soon as Richard woke up, Wicks Biotech's stock price would rise immediately, but he wasn't sure when that would come.
And the operation risk of adding leverage is particularly large, and the slightest fluctuation will make him a bamboo basket empty, and now that he knows the exact time, he can finally place a bet.
Now that everyone is scrambling to sell the shares of Vics Biotech, no one is willing to take over at all, so Fang Xiu easily bought the shares.
Even with a few hundred thousand dollars of leverage, it can't make any waves, and the stock price of Weeks Biotech is still hovering at the bottom.
But the phenomenon soon changed, and many well-informed sources had learned that Richard had woken up and was preparing for a press conference.
They also felt that the share price of Wicks Biotech was going to rise, so they also began to buy shares, and the stock price of Wicks Biotech rose slightly.
This is more reassuring, and from now on, he will begin to enter the profitable stage.
Bigger profits soon followed, and at a press conference, Richard gave a grand presentation of Weeks Biotech's latest research results, boasting that it was the high-tech drug that woke him up from his coma.
The genius founder is completely unhindered, and he has come up with new results.
Soon, the stock price returned to the level it was at before Richard's car accident and continued to rise without the slightest stagnation.
Fang Xiu looked at the constantly beating numbers with satisfaction, sure enough, nothing was as fast as making money in the financial market.
