"Did you hear? The Black Financial God, Little Swift, invested in the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company. He bought 45.5% of the shares in one go, becoming the major shareholder of this company!"
"Do you think I'm stupid? How could I not know such important news? What I really don't know is whether I should buy this stock!" In a coffee shop next to the trading center, two Americans were having this conversation.
"I can't believe you're still hesitating. If Little Swift bought it, why shouldn't we?" one person said. "The report clearly stated that Little Swift intends to make a fortune from this opportunity."
"Actually, we all made a fatal mistake by thinking that with the outbreak of these events, the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company would become a complete trash stock. But who would have thought that this company still holds so many important assets, and with the fire, all investigations and compensation were waived? Then they are left with only net assets. This is definitely a good business!"
"It all comes down to how smart that Little Swift guy is. You say he's a dark-skinned fellow, but how is his mind so much brighter than others of his kind? How did he discover that the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company has such high investment value? This guy is terrifying!"
"But conversely, as long as we follow this guy's investments, he eats meat, and we follow him to drink soup. It's that simple!" This person smacked his lips and said, "I've made up my mind. As soon as this stock is unlocked tomorrow, I'll go all-in. And I still have some shares I was holding. Now they can all be unburdened!"
"Alas, it's also considered good luck. I've been wanting to sell these stocks all along, but I just couldn't get rid of them. No one was buying. Now it's better. Is it a blessing in disguise? They can all rise back!"
"It's unlikely they'll all rise back!" the other person frowned and said, "You say a small increase, I believe it, but is it possible for them to rise back to their previous trillion-dollar valuation?"
"I don't know about trillions, but at least a trillion is there. Look at this report. This is an article written by a special commentator for The Wall Street Journal. I think the analysis is very pertinent!"
"The Wall Street Journal has had people take stock of the remaining assets of the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company. It's indeed as the initial article stated: the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company is actually ready to start construction and can build the pipeline at any time!"
"And Little Swift's purpose in investing at this time is to restart the construction of the ultra-high-speed vacuum magnetic levitation pipeline. This way, he can get a great bargain. It only costs over a hundred billion dollars to build a pipeline that can earn tens of billions annually and continue to operate. This is the real big profit!"
"Before, the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company just drew a pie of a pipeline and directly pushed the stock up to trillions of dollars. Now that Little Swift has taken over and really started construction, won't it be easy to get back trillions of dollars?"
"So we must strike while it's at 80 billion dollars. That's a tenfold profit!"
"But I still feel a bit uncertain. Little Swift has never admitted that he wants to build the pipeline. What if he actually doesn't want to build it?"
"If he doesn't want to build it, why would he spend hundreds of billions to buy shares of the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company?" this person said. "You know, when Little Swift bought this stock, the disaster hadn't happened yet. No one knew that the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company would make a comeback from a fire and avoid a large amount of criminal punishment!"
"Online analyses say that if it weren't for that fire, Little Swift would have had to spend not only 100 billion dollars to enter the market at that time but also bear at least two to three hundred billion dollars in compensation. And if the investigation results determined that the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company had major problems, the entire company would be forcibly closed and delisted, and Little Swift's money would all be wasted!"
"The only explanation for him entering the market at that time is that he had already planned to take advantage of this opportunity to acquire the high-quality assets held by the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company at a low price, and then invest in building the pipeline himself, earning big money steadily in the future! If I can understand this principle, how can you, a highly educated graduate from the finance department, not understand it?"
"Yes!" The other person pondered for a moment and felt that this reasoning was indeed correct.
His friend continued, "Anyway, let's buy some stocks at a low price tomorrow. We've already lost so much, what worse can happen? What are we afraid of!"
"That makes sense," the other person nodded vigorously, having made up his mind.
Just as the entire US stock market was stirred up by this news, and all attention was focused on the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company, Little Swift, the focus of the entire event, was quite flustered.
Fortunately, he was currently in China attending Boss Huang's 38th birthday. Therefore, he could rush to Boss Huang's office immediately, looking pitifully at Huang He, waiting for Boss Huang's instructions.
"Boss, these people are too shameless. I swear to God, I never said in any company meeting that I intended to actually build this pipeline. Those guys actually made up such a rumor out of thin air, and I don't know what to do!" Little Swift's expression was indeed extremely panicked this time because the development of this matter had greatly exceeded his expectations.
He never dreamed that such false news would suddenly appear in the world, and it was so convincing that even Little Swift himself almost believed it.
"Clearly, this is the work of the forces behind the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company. They deliberately fabricated this false news!" Boss Huang's expression was very calm, and he saw through the scheme behind this false news at a glance.
"Then Boss, should I issue a clarification announcement now to inform the market that there is no such plan at all, and my investment in the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company is simply because I want to invest in this company!" Little Swift asked.
"Who would believe you if you say that at this time?" Huang He shook his head. "Rumors are easily spread, but their refutation is difficult. Once a rumor appears and someone is willing to believe it, even if you kneel on the ground and swear to heaven, they won't believe your refutation. Instead, they'll think you're trying to cover up your true intentions and make money from them."
"Therefore, the more you clarify this matter, the more unclear it becomes, unless you immediately sell all your shares in the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company to prove that you really don't want to build any pipeline!"
"However, if you do that, their objective will be achieved, and you will no longer be able to pose any threat to them in the board of directors. Then they can easily carve up the remaining assets of the company."
"By the way, they can also continue to publish articles in the media, saying that you entered the market first, released the news, and then hastily exited, all intentionally to lure retail investors in so that you can sell your stocks at a high price and make a large profit yourself!"
"Well, I can come up with dozens of different explanations like this, and each one is reasonable. I guarantee that in just two or three days, you, the Black Financial God, will be completely reviled by everyone!" Boss Huang pouted.
"Moreover, even if they don't slander you with lies, if you don't want to build the pipeline, how can you explain your purpose in acquiring the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company?"
"So, smart people know that you acquired this company to get its tens of billions of dollars in huge assets. But this reason cannot be revealed, as it would be a crime. Your only reason for acquiring this company must be that you are optimistic about its future development prospects."
"But the problem is, if you don't plan to let the US United Super Vacuum Pipeline Railway Company resume its main business, then how can you be optimistic about its future development prospects?"
"It's like marrying a rich old and ugly woman. When people ask you why you married her, you can't say you were after her assets and money. You can only brace yourself and say it's for love, because you like her!"
"Therefore, you absolutely cannot issue this clarification announcement, because no matter what you say in this announcement, it will be a huge mistake and a dead end!" Boss Huang explained the entire situation in just a few words, making Little Swift's heart turn ice cold.
