Chapter 36

When leaving the pharmacy, Ling Xiao subconsciously glanced up at an apartment across the street, with a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Those two bad luck guys are probably still asleep right now, but Ling Xiao broke into the apartment last night and taught each of the two guys a little lesson. Make sure that they will suffer from backaches and leg cramps every day for the next few weeks.

After leaving the pharmacy, Ling Xiao not at all went to see Xiao Si. The time they arranged was a little later. What Ling Xiao really wanted to go in the morning was a restaurant on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills. Stock brokerage company.

Wilcher Avenue is where the banks and commercial buildings of Beverly Hills are located. There are countless top department stores on this street.

The nearby Beverly Shopping Center is also a favorite of many celebrities. There are nearly 180 specialty stores in the center. The appearance is quite special. The two major features are the transparent escalator and the heavy rock restaurant on the outside. The temporary hospital for “Volcano Eruption” is here.

When I was at home before, Ling Xiao not at all told Gan Jing to be honest, he actually invested 170 million USD in Stark Industries, but he didn鈥檛 just buy the stock and waited for it to appreciate, but Direct short selling.

The one hundred and fourteen 100,000 USD that I just got a few days ago, plus the more than 300,000 private money that Ling Xiao saved during this period, were all invested by Ling Xiao on short selling.

Stock short selling means that when an investor expects a stock to fall in the future, he sells a stock he does not own when the current price is high, and then buys when the stock price drops to a certain extent. The spread is the investor’s profit.

Theoretically, it is borrowed and sold first, and then bought and returned. Generally, a formal short selling market has a platform for borrowing goods from a neutral warehouse.

In fact, this is a bit like the credit transaction model in business. This model can be profitable in the wave of falling prices, that is, first borrow at a high level and sell it, and then buy and return it after it has fallen. In this way, the buying is still low and the selling is still high, but the procedure is reversed.

Ling Xiao didn鈥檛 know how long Tony Stark was kidnapped, but after Tony Stark returned, he immediately announced the closure of all weapons departments of Stark Industries.

For an arms company, this means that its main business will be closed, its annual turnover and annual profit will fall, and its stock will naturally plummet, or even cut in half. He was lucky.

With such prophetic news, Ling Xiao still didn’t know what to do, and in one breath he invested all the money Gan Jing didn’t know.

Ling Xiao parked his car in the underground parking lot of a building. No one was following him this time. Of course, it is also very possible that the opponent is too brilliant, even Ling Xiao can’t find it. If it is really such an expert, it will not be used to track Ling Xiao, just start it directly.

Lock the car, Ling Xiao directly took the elevator to the Eighteenth Layer of the building. Because he had made an appointment in advance, Ling Xiao went directly to oneself’s stockbroker’s office, and at this time, the other party was also watching the news on TV.

“According to the report of our reporter in Afghanistan, it has been confirmed by the military that Chairman Tony Stark of Stark Industries was attacked by terrorists in Afghanistan yesterday afternoon. It is reported that Tony Stark came to Afghanistan this time to fight the army. Fang displayed Stark Industries鈥?Jerry missiles, and this large US$2 billion military purchase order is precisely why Tony Stark came to Afghanistan.

It was confirmed that the three Humvee that followed Stark鈥檚 protection A total of fourteen American soldiers have been killed. The soldiers鈥?remains have been found, but Tony Stark鈥檚 remains have not been found. It is very likely that he is still alive.

Currently, no organization has announced responsibility for the attack. , And after the stock market opened this morning, the stock price of Stark Industries has plunged…….”

Seeing Ling Xiao entering, the middle-aged man sitting in his office chair watching TV Immediately stood up, walked out with a smile, and shook hands with Ling Xiao while saying: “Ling, your judgment at this time is very accurate. The stock of Stark Industries has fallen sharply. You are afraid that you will make fiercely this time. “

“Hello, James!” Ling Xiao smiled and shook hands with own stockbroker James Dean, and said modestly: “I’m just a little bit of good luck that’s all, yes, now How is the stock trend of China?”

“Come and see here.” James Dean greeted Ling Xiao before coming to a computer, and said to Ling Xiao: “Look, now Stark Industries’ There is already a share of 124 USD, and a share of 104 USD has fallen, with a drop of 16% and even continuing to fall.”

“en!” Ling Xiao nodded gently and whispered Ask: “James, where do you think the stock of Stark Industries will fall?”

“It depends on how the situation develops.” James Dean slightly hesitated, and said: “If there has been no Tony Stark According to the news, Stark Industries鈥?stocks will probably fall by about 70%. After all, although Tony Stark is important to Stark Industries, Stark The real power holder of the industry is actually the highest executive officer of the group, Obadiah Stane, who is also the third largest shareholder of Stark Industries. With him, the stock of Stark Industries will not fall there. And…”

“And what? “Ling Xiao was lightly frowned, he had a bad feeling.

“After the stock of Stark Industries began to fall, I found that someone was selling a lot of shares of Stark Industries, otherwise Obadiah Stane By means of this, the shares of Stark Industries will not fall so fast. “There is a trace of worry on James Dean’s face. Traders like them are most afraid of the kind of stock market predators who foul wind and bloody rain. This makes their previous judgments completely useless.

“Will that person be Obadiah Stane himself? “Ling Xiao touched the chin, whispered.

“Obadiah Stane, how could it be Obadiah Stane?” James Dean looked at Ling Xiao in surprise, frowns asked: “Ling, do you have any inside information, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to grasp the precise timing of the decline in Stark Industrial stock so accurately?” “

James Dean has reason to doubt Ling Xiao, because only three days ago, Ling Xiao approached him through the University of California, Los Angeles alumni relationship, and asked him to help short selling the shares of Stark Industries. .

At that time, the market was very optimistic about the stock of Stark Industries. After all, Stark Industries was likely to win a large arms order of nearly 2 billion USD from the Ministry of Defense. At this time, Ling Xiao was looking for It鈥檚 very interesting to come and ask for short selling shares of Stark Industries directly!

As an alumnus, James Dean, who graduated from Anderson Management School, persuaded Ling Xiao to say a few words. Seeing that he is still so stubborn, he I can only agree to his request. After all, whether Ling Xiao makes a profit or loses, the rake in his business is the same.

But now, everything looks strange, three In the days of the day, the change came. Tony Stark was arrested in Afghanistan, the stock of Stark Industries plummeted, coupled with Ling Xiao鈥檚 suspicion of Obadiah Stane just now, James Dean cannot but let James Dean have such a guess.

“What inside information can I have? “Ling Xiao laughed gently and said calmly: “James, I’m just a little businessman that’s all who runs a drugstore. This time I have put all the house on mortgage to collect such a sum of money. As for the inside information you said, I don鈥檛 have any inside information. I鈥檓 just betting that Stark Industries can鈥檛 get the orders from the Ministry of Defense that鈥檚 all. After all, although Stark Industries’ arms are of good quality, the prices are generally high, and the Ministry of National Defense may not purchase arms from their group. In addition, there is a Hanmer Group doing tricks on the side. Such things are not impossible. “

“Is that the case? “When Ling Xiao said this, James Dean’s tone eased. After all, Ling Xiao’s explanation is also very reasonable. It is normal to take a gamble at this time.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laughed, oneself, what’s wrong, Ling Xiao’s background has not been investigated, this is just an ordinary junior that’s all, oneself is also suspicious of what means he can get such inside information.
