Chapter 325: Give the enemy 2 dollars first (1/2)
? When Charles Keswick came to the company meeting room, all the top executives were already there, so he was the executive director.
He nodded towards the crowd, then found his seat and sat down, looking at the chief executive Barton Harriman, who nodded towards Charles Keswick, and then looked at the others with different faces. The director swept across his face.
”Time is urgent, I will simply tell you the situation.”
”Yesterday, our company's stock price fell slightly, but today after the stock market opened, our company's stock price plummeted. According to analysis, it is obvious that an institution is suppressing our company's stock price, and the short selling momentum is very fierce. The stock price has fallen so far. At 9.6 Hong Kong dollars per share, the market value has evaporated by 20 million! Now the total market value is 480 million!”
”I have sent someone to investigate the cause, I believe it will soon...”
”Knock...”
Barton Hardman was just halfway talking, when he suddenly remembered the knock on the door, he frowned slightly and said, ”Come in!”
”President, the reason has been found, it's all here.”
An employee came in with some documents and newspapers, came to Barton Hardman, bent over and said, and put the documents in his hand in front of Barton Hardman.
Barton Hardman's spirits refreshed, and he didn't have time to say anything. He immediately looked at him, and the other directors looked at him vigorously.
Barton Hardman's face became darker as he looked at him, and he said solemnly to the employees: ”Go and prepare a bit more and send a copy to every director.”
”Ok!”
After a while, the staff came in again and sent the same materials to everyone sitting there.
The directors who could not wait for a long time looked through it immediately. This was unbelievable. Everyone's expressions became serious, and Charles Keswick couldn't help but scold his mother.
”Gentlemen, we are in big trouble!”
Barton Hardman said solemnly.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere in the air began to become more and more depressing.
”Don't think about it, it is very likely that Jiuding Securities is doing a ghost!”
Finance Director Liu Mingtao said.
”It's definitely their bastards!”
”What should we do now, we have been targeted by them, what should we do? And now public opinion is very unfavorable to us, but we can't explain it!”
Other directors also said, in a bad mood.
Their ability to achieve this position proves that they are very capable. After seeing the materials provided by the employees, they know how difficult this matter is.
There are two materials provided by the employees, one is the latest issue of ”Jiuding Daily” issued by Jiuding News, and the other is the new issue of securities research report published by the Securities Research Institute of Jiuding Securities.
In the ”Jiuding Daily”, there is no word for Jardine Air Cargo Station, but it has a great impact on their company, and they have no way to blame.
In the newspaper, it is a research report on the world transportation industry and sea and air transportation, which elaborated on the changes in the world transportation industry in the past decade.
Xiangjiang is composed of small islands, and land transportation is destined to be that way. Therefore, there are two sub-sectors closely related to Xiangjiang, shipping and air transportation.
These two sub-sectors belong to a competitive relationship and a fungible relationship. When the shipping industry rises, the air transportation market will decline, and vice versa.
In the newspaper, it was reasonable and well-founded to introduce the peak period of the shipping market from 1973 to 1975 and the trough period of the shipping industry from 1975 to 1978.
But the article suddenly wrote that the shipping industry has begun to rise, and it predicts that a new round of peaks in the shipping industry will come. The most important thing is that it also provides very rigorous survey data and theoretical support, which is very convincing.
At the end of the article, I mentioned the air transportation industry of Xiangjiang. It was written that the cargo terminal of Kai Tak Airport, the largest in Hong Kong, has just been put into use for only two years. The investment has not been earned at all, and a new round of expansion plans have been made big strides.
