Blackstone Code Chapter 759: The first conversation
Strictly speaking, it is impossible for any listed company to be 100% without problems.
The purpose of the company's listing is not to prove to the society any great ideals and ideas, but to put it bluntly to draw money from the pockets of retail investors.
The stock of a listed company is divided into two parts, one of which belongs to the shareholder's share, which is held by the large and small shareholders and will not be easily traded.
The other part is the tradable shares issued at the time of listing. These shares are held in the pass-through account in the stock market, and the transactions will be very frequent. At the same time, these shares will also determine the final market price of the company's shares.
No matter what the capitalists and those listed companies say, buying stocks is an investment behavior, in the final analysis, it is actually to convince people that buying their stocks can make money.
The more popular the stock, the higher the price of the stock, the higher the market value of the company, and the higher the value of the stock in the hands of shareholders.
So most of the listed companies will choose to raise the company's stock price as the main profit-making method after listing, which can be much faster than real money.
A listed company may earn only a few million in net profit for a year of hard work, but as long as they increase their stock price by just a little, five percent, ten percent, the company's market value will grow more than the hard one annual net profit.
This is also the main reason why funds prefer to flow to finance in a modern society. Investors avoid long-term operations and can harvest a lot of wealth, of course, it may be harvested.
Then how to make a stock popular is actually very simple, fraudulent financial reports, fraudulent sales, and appropriate hype.
For example, the company's market value has doubled from 100 million to 200 million this year. This kind of good news will directly affect the ticket market.
In hindsight, investors began to gather selling orders, and buying orders kept appearing, supplemented by some other means, such as inviting some experts to talk about the long-term development trend of stocks, and then finding some brokerage companies to promote these stock.
In the end, these stocks began to sell well, and the price of the stocks may increase by 70% or 80%, or even more than 100%, in order to cater for some announcements from listed companies.
This kind of means on the edge of legality and illegality will be done by every listed company, blindly blowing good news to let shareholders help them realize their dream of getting rich.
Even if these companies do not use this method to set off the stock price, they will use some methods to cover up the problem and prevent the stock price from falling. s reason.
The chancellor knows these listed companies too well, and so does the market, especially the big investors, who simply chose to give up rather than stick with it.
For example, some heavy industries and some chemical companies must face various environmental problems, but they have a way to cover up this bad news and ensure that the valuation will not cause any problems.
In normal times, it's not a problem, it's just a PR strategy, but now the situation is different, everything is put under the magnifying glass, even if it's not a small problem, it's a huge mistake now.
Some people have become typical, and the result of waiting for these six companies is nothing more than a plunge in stock prices, followed by large and various fines, and even restrictions on trading.
If a listed company encounters such a problem, then the loss is not as simple as a pain in the flesh, it will hurt to the depths of the soul!
In order to avoid being the next target of the Chancellor's attack, other companies now urgently need to make up for their image on the Chancellor's side. The easiest way is to buy back their outstanding shares.
This is also what the Chancellor of the Exchequer asked these working groups to do, but they did not agree at the time.
It costs money to buy back stock, and it's useless to buy back less.
A company wants to make more money, the best way is to issue more stocks, such as those heavyweight stocks, at least there are tens of millions of shares in circulation.
If they want to buy back even 10%, they have to put out millions or even tens of millions in cash, which will have a great impact on the company's operations. This is why they did not agree to the chancellor at the beginning. One of the main reasons to buy back shares.
But now, they've compromised.
"If people have no way out, they will be more terrifying than savage lions!" After the Prime Minister learned the news, he said with some emotion.
There are other people in the room, and now that the Prime Minister is doing better, and he already has a big family, it's easy to find enough people to work for him.
The others didn't say anything, but looked like they were mulling over the sentence.
After he finished speaking, he didn't continue talking, just thought quietly for a while, then sneered and laughed, "A person who is very capable, but we won't just admit defeat."
He said and looked at a young man in the first row on the left side of the table. He said he was a young man, but he was actually in his thirties. This was his eldest son.
"First arrest those officials of the Finance Department who have named them. I greeted the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they will temporarily move the first floor for you to use. I need exact confessions..."
Considering that his son did not seem to have done anything similar, the Prime Minister instructed more deeply, "I want them to explain how they took bribes and used their power to commit crimes. Their upline is Who, how is the benefit delivered, do you understand?"
The Prime Minister stared at his son, who nodded solemnly, "I know what to do!"
The Prime Minister's family has waited for so many years, and finally has such a good opportunity. The elites in the family are all around him and serve him. This is why the great nobles will always be great nobles.
As long as there is a person who can stand out, their power far exceeds those of ordinary people who have no background. Ordinary people have no chance of defeating the great nobles, at least this possibility is almost impossible.
He looked at the second person again. It was one of his nephews. He was in his forties. He looked a little ordinary, a little... docile, but the Prime Minister knew that he was a ruthless person.
"The shareholders of Yuan Financing Capital have all been arrested now. I have negotiated with the Police Department, and they will give you seventy-two hours. You must let those people speak within these seventy-two hours. ."
“I want to know the purpose of their coming to Gavra, their specific division of labor with that Richard, their specific plans, and how they used bribes to get the company to obtain a business license and go public.”
His nephew bowed slightly, "Don't worry, I'll let them tell the truth in just one day."
The Prime Minister believed this, but he said, "Don't kill people, and I want them to plead consciously."
A plan and a measure are communicated in an orderly manner. The Prime Minister's seemingly peaceful heart is already turbulent at this time. This is his closest opportunity to power, and he will not let this opportunity slip away from his hands. .
When all the tasks were done, he patted the handrail and stood up.
His eldest son immediately fetched a coat for him and helped him put it on, while the others stood by.
After getting dressed skillfully, he raised his head and asked his son to tidy the neckline for him.
Nobles are very particular about the details of the neckline, and they also see this as a way to distinguish each other's class.
"Father, are you going out?", his eldest son asked as he tidied up those collars.
"Me?", the Prime Minister squeezed out an "um" sound, "I'm going to visit Lynch and talk to him by the way."
"He has inspired me a lot in several actions, and you and we have the same goal, maybe we can work together.", he watched his son step aside, knowing that it was sorted out, He picked up the hat and put it on his head, "Don't underestimate anyone, not even a groom."
"Groom" is an allusion to Gevra, who was once just a knight's squire, taking care of the knight's warhorse.
The knight was wounded in a war, but at the same time their lord was about to face a life-and-death war. The groom finally decided to go out in place of the knight. Even if he died in the battle, he would not let the lord take his anger on the family.
Unexpectedly, this groom performed exceptionally well on the battlefield and helped the lord to the final victory.
When the lord discussed the merits and awards, he realized that his knight was not a knight, but a groom.
But he didn't get angry because of it, instead he named the groom a knight.
The knight later died, of course, and in a duel about "who can sleep with the Countess", he won the duel, but lost to the Count...
The Prime Minister just wanted to use this allusion to tell his children that although Lynch is a foreigner and just a small nobleman, he cannot be underestimated because of this.
After watching the Prime Minister leave, everyone else went about their business.
A little after eleven o'clock ~IndoMTL.com~ the Prime Minister's car was parked outside Lynch's current residence.
"I hope I'm here just in time!", the two met as soon as they met. The Prime Minister showed a warm smile. He took the initiative to shake hands with Lynch, and he did not let go for ten seconds.
Lynch also responded enthusiastically, "I've been thinking about when to visit you, but I'm just afraid you won't have time."
"So it looks like I came just right?" This is an affirmative sentence in the style of a rhetorical question.
After the servant next to Lynch helped the Prime Minister take off his coat, he sent the two men into the living room.
The Prime Minister took a look at the decoration here, and there was no comment. In his eyes, he could see nothing but shabby, even though the house was not cheap.
After the two sat down, the Prime Minister said, "I keep hearing that you are the best young man in the Commonwealth, especially that you have more insights into economics than some of the experts and scholars who study these things." /
"What do you think about the problems we're experiencing right now?"
