Chapter 658 Sniping the Huaxia Consortium

   "Damn, what the **** is going on, who is sniping us?"

  John Mark jumped into a rage, like an enraged lion, and a group of subordinates around the desk in his office looked at each other, not even daring to speak out.

  The violent fluctuations in Stanley's stock market not only stunned the market, but even Stanley's own people were stunned, and the subsequent reversal made them even more dumbfounded. Immediately afterwards, the entire Stanley trading department got busy, trying their best to find the real reason behind this incident.

   What confuses them is that, after checking and searching, they can't find any clues about the turmoil, and they can't even confirm the true identities of the two parties in the battle. Although Stanley's traders poked around, there was no reliable rumor in the market at all. Although there were various theories, they were quickly clarified by the suspected target.

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

  What John Mark is afraid of is not only the disappointment of his own research department and trading department, but also the fear of the chain reaction that may be caused by the market. Although the whole day's trading is only about 10% of Stanley's market value, the impact is far more than that simple. The whole world knows that Stanley is in contact with the Huaxia consortium, and now they know that there are forces that are blatantly shorting Stanley.

  What is the inevitable connection among them? There is so much space to think about!

For example, news leaked ahead of time that the talks between the Huaxia Consortium and Stanley had collapsed; or, that Stanley was on the verge of bankruptcy; more likely, the Huaxia Consortium was secretly shorting Stanley in the hope of being able to negotiate in the next negotiations. Gain more voice.

  No matter what kind of news it is, it will be a huge negative for Stanley.

   But what annoys John Mark the most is that no matter what kind of news it is, it is not true.

   "John, this may be an accident. It may be a hedge fund program problem that triggered a liquidation order. The truth may not be as complicated as we think."

   A senior trader frowned and thought for a while before hesitatingly said. But after he said it, he felt uneasy in his heart, because the possibility of this was really too small.

   Sure enough, John Mark jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "Nonsense, nonsense, this is absolutely impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

   Don’t say that as the chairman of Stanley, he is just an ordinary trader of Stanley, and he has experienced few dark incidents? Even many sensational events in the market have their secret participation. Now that disaster has befallen them, it is self-deception for someone to say that it may have been an accident.

  John Mark denied this possibility with a roar, and he miraculously calmed down the next moment. Once he started the conspiracy theory mode, his mind was extraordinarily bright, which had to be said to be related to his years of experience.

   "Let's first analyze what benefits our Stanley institution will gain from shorting today's market!" John Mark, who had calmed down, started to analyze today's market seriously.

"There is a possibility! It is a group of people who shorted today, and another group of people who attacked them later." The traders continued to think along this line of thought, and soon someone put forward such a hypothesis, "But the latter group of people are not It is most likely the Huaxia people, because if they absorb chips in this way, although there is a lot of liquidity, they will soon touch the 10% red line. Most importantly, they cannot achieve their strategic intentions."

"No matter what the other party's intentions are, we can be sure that 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, signaling traders not to entangle in the identity of the buyer, "Our trouble is that The seller, that is, the short side. There is no doubt that they have deep malice towards us. What I want to know is, what are they relying on to dare to short us so recklessly?"

   "Found it! Got it!"

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

Seeing that everyone in the office was staring at him, the trader froze for a moment, then continued unnaturally: "However, when we were investigating, the other party seemed to have revealed his identity on purpose. According to our contact of traders said that the other party was the only institution that neither admitted nor denied it, and it was this ambiguous attitude that made us sure that they were the ones buying.”

   "Why are they buyers and not sellers?" John Mark asked, staring at the trader with piercing eyes.

"Because when our people were asking, they were talking about whether the other party had recently closed their positions on a large scale!" Whether there is a big move. Another group of people asked whether there was a large-scale liquidation or buying. I believe that the traders on the other side understand what we want to ask.”

   "Then should I close the position or buy?" John Mark asked again.

   "I don't know!" The trader was obviously a little flustered, "We are unlikely to find out about this, because it involves their positions. But according to our judgment, it is very likely to be a buy!"

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

At this moment, John Mark suddenly understood that Tianyu Fund had already targeted him, and it was very likely that he had secretly shorted himself in the market a long time ago, and now the sudden appearance of a sell order in the market made them realize that This is a good opportunity to close the position, so he risked his identity to close the position in the market.

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

  For a while, John Mark felt extremely bitter in his heart, and he was both afraid and grateful. Helplessly, the other party had been coveting Stanley Company for a long time, but he didn't realize it at all. Fortunately, I stood in the right direction at the critical moment, and now is the time to reap the rewards.

  The traders in the room were stunned. They didn't know that John Mark had contact with Zhongshi. But since John Mark insisted on closing the position, they could more or less guess something.

  When they thought that Tianyu Fund was closing its positions in secret, that is, it would no longer short Stanley, they felt bursts of excitement. Perhaps their feelings are not as complex and profound as John Mark's, but this is a bullish anyway.

   "I want another short-selling target, and I have some ideas!"

  John Mark said lightly. Now that Zhong Shi has made a move, the identity of the short seller is ready to be revealed. Although it is impossible to be confirmed, John Mark is 70% to 80% sure that the large-scale short-selling in the market is the work of Soros and his Quantum Fund.

   It's just that he already knew that he was negotiating with the Huaxia Consortium. Why did Soros choose to attack at this time? John Mark thought hard for a long time, but couldn't understand.

   “The cash account is in trouble, and several more hedge funds withdrew their funds today.”

While the traders were still chattering about today's market, CFO Colm Kelleher walked in and announced the unpleasant news as soon as he entered the door, "Our situation is getting worse and worse. Serious. The abnormal volatility of the stock market today has made some funds realize that something is wrong. I have already asked, and this is the concern of most of them.”

   Sure enough, what should come has come. John Mark stabilized his mind, tried his best to look calm, and asked, "How long can we last with the remaining funds?"

   "Friday, Friday at most!" Colm Kelleher calculated in his heart and gave a desperate answer.

   Last week, Colm Kelleher said that Stanley's cash could only last until last Friday, but that time they survived. But this time, although John Mark is still looking forward to a miracle, he can't guarantee that he will have such good luck.

   "Tell the Chinese people that I am ready to agree to their terms!"

   After hesitating for a moment, John Mark made a major decision in this chaotic office. Prior to this, although the negotiations with Huatou were still going on, Stanley's top management still couldn't make up their minds. But now, the situation has changed. Soros and his funds have eagerly declared war. As a result, the speed of capital flight has suddenly accelerated. If an agreement cannot be reached with the Huaxia people, the only thing left for Stanley is bankruptcy. Road.

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 debts, a large amount of capital must be injected, otherwise the Fed will refuse to refinance Stanley. . This also means that Stanley must find a big buyer.

  As for Zhong Shi, there is no need to think about it, because the other party is closing their positions, and they are not short.

So after thinking about it, John Mark clearly realized that maybe Stanley had the last way to be acquired by the Huaxia people, so when making decisions, he didn't even avoid the room full of traders They, anyway, they will know sooner or later, maybe tomorrow morning.

   Shaking his head uninterestedly, John Mark stumbled out of the office. At the moment of making a decision, he just felt stuffy in his chest and wanted to go out to get some air and walk aimlessly.

  But the moment he walked out of the room, an amazing scene appeared on the TV, which made everyone stunned.

In the Stanley headquarters, wall-mounted and hanging LCD TVs can be seen everywhere. This is an information age, especially in a market closely related to various events. Therefore, it is inevitable to track various information, and TVs are even installed in the bathroom. , traders can also track global markets at their convenience.

   Just when John Mark opened the door, the original CNBC screen suddenly jumped to the venue, and a man who looked respected was shouting loudly.

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

   Generally speaking, if there is no major event, the four major American TV networks will not broadcast live at the same time. But now whether it's CNBC, FOX, or CBS, they are broadcasting the congressman's speech, which shows that something big has happened.

"...Republicans will not accept this bailout package. Our principles and positions remain the same. Preserving this country is our eternal goal. But we will never allow a portion of taxpayer money to subsidize greedy Wall Street capitalists , This should not be our style of work. Especially those institutions that are in contact with red countries, we should not rescue them. This not only involves the work of ordinary Americans, but also involves national security... "

   Almost instantly, John Mark understood who the "organization in contact with the red country" Congressman Rogers mentioned was not Stanley who is currently in contact with Huaxia Investment?

  Thinking of what the congressman said, he immediately realized that the deal between Stanley and Huatou is very likely to fall through. Even if the deal is announced now, it is very likely that it will not be approved by the regulatory authorities. John Mark finally knew what the problem was. He felt his eyes go dark, his sky was spinning, and he fell to the ground unconscious.

  John Mark fainted in full view!

   Thanks to book friend Shihuangtian, who poisoned you thousands of times, it wasn't me last night, Europe 56, and Jiangnan Liu Feiyan voted monthly tickets! I am very lucky that I did not live up to the request of book friend ymp200 today, thank you for your support~
