Chapter 558: Monopoly investigation, stock price plummets(1/2)

After Bill arranged for his family to take a vacation to Hawaii, he met several investment bankers in Washington.

Originally, Bill thought that after he asked Jimmy to mobilize the company's funds to buy shares in the market, he could temporarily stabilize the decline in the stock price, but he did not expect that Lin Feng would actually invest a lot of money to keep shorting.

That's right. When Bill heard Jimmy say that there was no way to investigate who was shorting their company's stock price in the market, Bill immediately thought that the decline in the company's stock price must be related to Lin Feng.

Although Bill has no evidence to prove that Lin Feng did this, his intuition will not be wrong, and he has only been offended by Lin Feng for a difficult person during this period.

In order to mobilize the company's funds to buy stocks, Bill also called his old friend Allen.

Although the decline in the company's stock price is not a good thing for Allen, Bill knew that since the other party left the company, the other party had never cared about the company's interests.

Sure enough, Bill was not wrong. When Allen heard that Bill planned to use the company's funds to buy stocks, he disagreed.

Even if Bill said it was a mess, Allen disagreed.

There was no reason, he was just unhappy Bill.

After all, Allen is still an old man at this time. Even if he doesn't have this share, he is a true billionaire.

So he disagreed with Bill's behavior just to make Bill's misfortune.

If outsiders know that billionaire Allen is still fighting like a child, it will definitely feel incredible, but the fact is that Allen is fighting with Bill like a child.

In the end, Bill, who had no choice but to lower his head and say all good things to Allen, keep admitting his mistakes, which made Allen reluctantly agree to Bill's decision.

Bill knew that if he wanted to convince Allen, he could not speak for profit, but should let the other party gain face.

Bill knew that in Allen's heart, he had always been resentful of the matter of leaving the company, so the other party had always resented him.

So Bill also grabbed the other party's idea, lowered his head, admitted his mistake, and allowed Allen to win a face before temporarily agreeing to the decision.

After solving Allen's side, Bill began to meet several investment bank bosses secretly.

Bill knew that if the company's books could not be able to repel Lin Feng, then he could only seek reinforcements from outside.

So Bill found several investment bankers, and then Bill began his path of deception.

He promised those investment banks that they would keep buying shares of their company in the market at this time. No matter how much they bought, he would buy them back from the other party three times the cost price in three years.

Moreover, Bill also promised that the shares they purchased would be guaranteed to be no less than 6% of the annual interest rate each year.

Those investment bankers were immediately happy when they heard Bill’s conditions.

After all, when the global economy is in a downturn, although they have a lot of money in their hands, they don’t know which projects they invest in.

After all, if the investment fails, they will also be responsible. Therefore, their investment banks hold a large number of bonds with high liquidity, low returns and low risks.

But how can bonds with such low yields satisfy the appetites of these big capitalists? So they were also very anxious and thought about where to find some good investment projects.

Now Bill’s suggestion is simply a good condition for them.

Not only will there be 6% interest every year, but you can sell it back to Bill three times the cost in three years. Isn’t such a business just to give them money?

So the investment bankers agreed to Bill's conditions and immediately began to mobilize funds into the stock market to buy Bill's shares after returning.

It’s true that with the addition of these investment banks, Bill’s stock price quickly stopped the downward trend and began to rise slowly.

Just as several investment banks were happily buying shares in the stock market, a sudden news hit their hearts like a bolt from the blue.

The local government once again launched a monopoly investigation into Bill's company, and at the same time, the upper class made a voice, intending to split Bill's company.

The reason is that Bill's company is too large and he collapses in the context of the financial crisis and encounters business difficulties, which will inevitably have a huge impact on the country's economy.

When the news came out, the stock price, which was still rising continuously, fell immediately.

At the same time, investors who hold Bill Company's shares in the market sold their shares in panic.

Even Bill didn't expect how the official would launch a monopoly investigation into his company.

After all, since his company was investigated by monopoly ten years ago and fined a huge sum of money, he has been very careful and avoiding all kinds of monopoly matters as much as possible.

In the past decade, the company has never encountered monopoly investigations again, and Bill has gradually forgotten about this matter.

But Bill never expected that at this critical moment, when he was fighting with Lin Feng, the official launched a monopoly investigation into his company.

Bill knew that even if his company was not officially opened this time, his company's stock price would inevitably plummet, and investors in the market would lose confidence in his stocks.

As soon as Bill received the news, he immediately used his relationship to find the people from the court and asked them why they had to start the investigation at this time, and only then did he know that the decision to investigate was from the White House.

When did those people in Baifang also take care of monopoly?

When Bill heard the news, he was puzzled.

At this time, an absurd idea came to Bill's mind. Could it be that Lin Feng was ruling the monopoly investigation of their company?

But the people from the court said that the monopoly investigation into his company came from Baifangzi. If Lin Feng was really making trouble behind the scenes, how did the other party let Baifangzi listen to Lin Feng?

Bill never expected that Lin Feng and the number one in their country had a deep friendship, which Bill dared not even think of.

After those investment bankers who believed Bill learned the news, they immediately stopped acquiring stocks and sold the shares they acquired without cost.

Their investment banks also have their own sources of information.

They already know that this time, the attitude towards Bill's antitrust investigation was very tough. If Bill did not pay very good attention, Bill's company was destined to be split.

If Bill's company really wants to be split, then they are very skeptical about whether Bill can fulfill what he said to them.

After all, once the company is split, Bill will definitely not be able to continue to control these companies. Who will buy back the shares they have?

So these investment banks sold the acquired shares.

Although they know that if they sell it at this time, they will definitely lose a lot of money, but when they think about it and the future, they can still bear this loss.

So as investors and investment banks continued to sell stocks, and Lin Feng's vigorous short selling, Bill's company's stock price indeed fell by 50% in three days, just as Lin Feng guessed.

Moreover, as the stock price continues to fall, more and more people sell stocks, so a terrible chain reaction occurred.

Bill's stocks fell too much, and no one dared to come in to buy the bottom, so more people sold stocks. At the same time, some Wall Street short sellers also set their sights on this company and began to mobilize funds to short the company.

Bill was sitting in the office with a haggard face, and Jimmy, who was standing next to him, looked at Bill with a anxious look on his face.

"Boss, please find a way."

"The bank is constantly urging us to repay loans, and the suppliers are also urging us to settle the amount that has not been paid yet."

Jimmy never expected that the company would be investigated at this time.

If you only pay the funds from those suppliers, the funds on the company's books can still be paid.

But he did not expect that several banks would collect loans from them at this time, but there was no such much working capital on the books of their company to repay the loan.

After all, in order to stabilize the company's stock price, he had already invested a lot of funds on the company's books into the stock market to buy stocks.

Now that the company's stock price has plummeted, the company's money invested in the stock market has not only not made any money, but has not yet seen half of it.

Nowadays, few people enter the stock market to buy shares in their company, but a large number of people are queuing up to sell their shares.

Even if Jimmy wants to sell the company's shares to raise funds, she has no way to get the funds back in a short time.

Moreover, the company owes more than 100 billion US dollars in loans from the bank, and even if all the shares are sold, it is far from enough to repay the bank's loans.

"Don't urge me, I'm trying to figure out a way now."

Bill was upset by Jimmy and raised his head and stared at Jimmy and roared.

When Jimmy heard Bill's roar, she had to shut up and stand quietly beside her, not daring to urge her anymore.

"How many assets can our company sell in a short time?"

After a few minutes of silence in the office, Bill once again broke the tranquility.

Jimmy immediately knew Bill’s plan when he heard Bill’s words, so he quickly thought about it and replied in a hurry: “If it’s selling assets, there should be about $100 billion in assets that can be cashed in a short period of time.”

"But now the market already knows the current situation of our company, so if we sell our assets at this time, those buyers are likely to take advantage of the situation and keep the prices of those assets low."

Bill said in a deep voice with a stern face: "Even if they take advantage of the situation at this time, we have no way to deal with them."

"This way, you go and discuss with those banks, and we will directly use the assets to repay the loan to them."

Jimmy's face showed a hint of confusion when he heard Bill's words.

"Can they agree?"

A ferocious look appeared on Bill's face.

"If they don't agree, then wait for our company to split, and then let the court seize our assets and take them for auction, and finally get the auction money back to them."

"Just just take what I just said to them, they are so smart that they will definitely make the most favorable choice for them."

......

After listening to Lin Feng's arrangements, Zou Ming and Alice invested $20 billion in the market to short Bill's company and began to leave Country M.

It was only when they handed over the people sent by Lin Feng that Zou Ming realized that it was Chen Dajun who came to take over their work.

Zou Ming still knows Chen Dajun.

Zou Ming was very puzzled in his heart why Lin Feng asked Chen Dajun to replace their company, but Zou Ming did not dare to ask Lin Feng.

Although he knew that Chen Dajun was just a soldier and his military strength was OK, when it comes to financial investment, Chen Dajun is really a layman.

But if Lin Feng asked Chen Dajun to take over their job, he would definitely understand the other party's reason.

After Zou Ming, Alice and Chen Dajun handed over the work, he was preparing to buy a plane ticket to Europe.
