The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 1207 Too Difficult

From the performance of the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Railway Company after its listing, we know that the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Railway Company has indeed gained the favor of a large number of investors.They don't really want to wait for the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Railway Company to make a profit. After all, it will take more than ten years, or even decades, what they really expect is that the stock of the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Railway Company can Keep growing so they can cash out at the right time.

It's a pity that such a beautiful fantasy only lasted less than a day, because on this night, when the people of the United States were sleeping, Huaxia's super high-speed railway development company appeared on the famous news program at 7 o'clock every night .

Under the introduction of the host's passionate voice, he told everyone the shocking news of the start of construction of my country's first ultra-high-speed vacuum maglev pipeline, and also played the video of the groundbreaking ceremony by the way.

A large shovel tied with a red ribbon was held by three men at the same time, and they moved the first shovel of soil on the construction site.One of them is our boss Huang.

Although foreigners may not know the meaning behind this news, Wall Street, which is extremely sensitive to various business intelligence, is very clear about it.

The news on this news program, and at the same time, these three big figures jointly raised a shovel, which means that Huaxia's high-speed vacuum magnetic levitation pipeline has really started construction, and it is not fake news that is used to bluff people.

Of course, this does not mean that this pipeline will definitely be built. In fact, most people still don’t believe that such a pipeline full of science fiction can be built with Huaxia’s technology, but at least Huaxia has really started to do it. The above plan was put into reality and started to be implemented.

And in turn, what about America's own United Ultra Vacuum Railroad Pipeline Railroad Corporation?

Well, most Americans are also unclear, but Wall Street knows the situation clearly, that is, although the United Ultra-Vacuum Railway Pipeline Railway Company has obtained a huge amount of more than 2 trillion US dollars, in fact, this The route planning for the first phase of the pipeline has not yet been finalized.

Although the whole project is led by Goldman Sachs Group and the relevant technology is also provided by Goldman Sachs Group, such a project is obviously not something that Goldman Sachs Group can take on by itself. The railway project was swallowed.

Therefore, the Goldman Sachs Group found two other companies under the large consortium as important partners from the beginning, and gave up part of the shares in exchange for their support. However, Goldman Sachs still holds absolute control over the entire company.

But after the company started its road show, more and more investment institutions and the forces behind it became interested in this pipeline railway. They strongly waved their money to join this project, and it was difficult for Goldman Sachs to refuse.

If a project only involves a certain region, then Goldman Sachs can indeed strongly reject it.But if this project spreads across the entire United States, it will be difficult to continue the project if the interests of almost everyone are not resolved and everyone reaches a consensus.

So in fact, almost all the time before the listing, the entire company has hardly completed any professional work, and they are arguing endlessly about how to form the board of directors.

In order to take care of the interests of all, Goldman Sachs had to compromise the system of the board of directors and not determine the voting rights by the number of shares in the company, because in this way, as long as a large number of stocks are purchased in the market, it can control the company.

Therefore, Goldman Sachs chose to determine the control of the company based on the number of seats on the board of directors. Under Goldman Sachs' settings, the entire board of directors has 223 seats, which is comparable to the number of members of a state legislature, and each seat has a director. Voting rights.

And Goldman Sachs directly arranged 90 board seats for itself, which everyone can accept. After all, the technology and projects are all Goldman Sachs, and Goldman Sachs shared them with everyone, and everyone had nothing to say.

But for the remaining seats, other investors started a very fierce fight and competition. After all, the number of seats on the board of directors determines the voice of one's own board of directors, and at the same time determines how much profit one can get.

So just how to allocate the position of the board of directors, these guys quarreled for more than half a year before finally reaching a consensus and barely completing the arrangement of the company's board of directors before the listing.

Reasonably speaking, if it is not too outrageous that a company has not completed its personnel structure when it is listed, it will greatly affect the investment desire and expectations of ordinary shareholders, I am afraid that these people will continue to quarrel for trivial interests.

However, although the issue of the allocation of board seats has been resolved, it does not mean that the company can start working normally, because the most important thing in the entire railway construction, that is, the line itself has not yet been decided.

Therefore, the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company has already produced a drawing of the entire track, but anyone who understands it understands that it is impossible to achieve a line that is close to a straight line on the drawing, because it is not in the interests of most people at all. , This is just a means to attract investors to invest.

In fact, the newly established board of directors is now arguing endlessly over the specific planning of the line.

Professor Parkinson's money-making routines are not very sophisticated, and the guys on Wall Street are all good people, so everyone realized that the only way to make the planning of this railway fall on the territory controlled by them is to pay them expensive money. The demolition cost is the most profitable business, and it is also a reasonable and legal way to share the 20 trillion US dollars.

So how to divide the line is extremely anxious. All the members of the board of directors want to let the railway pass through their own land as much as possible, so even if the first phase of the railway plan has proposed a full 1 versions of the plan, do More than 36% of the planners resigned directly, and it is still not finalized.

It turns out that it is good now, and the route has not been finalized yet, but Huaxia has already announced that it will break ground and start construction directly.

As a result, the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company, which had been listed for only one day, actually started to fall when the stock price opened on the second day. It fell within an hour, and its market value exceeded 2 billion U.S. dollars.

No way, who made many shareholders of the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company be Wall Street institutions?
So everyone on Wall Street knows what a chaotic company the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company is, but the technology in the hands of the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company is real, and they do have plans to build the entire pipeline. It is just to distribute more shareholders' money in the process of pipeline construction. This is normal and there is no problem. United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company itself is still a company with great investment potential.

Therefore, the major institutions on Wall Street have bought a lot of shares of the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company, which together account for about 30% of the total shares.

But it is precisely because of this that these guys who have invested in the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company and stayed on the board of directors naturally know how chaotic the entire board of directors is now. They suddenly discovered that with the speed and efficiency of the Huaxia people, it seems It is not impossible to rush to build the first pipeline that can be opened to traffic ahead of the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company.

If that's the case, the stock of the United Ultra Vacuum Railroad Pipeline Company will plummet, so it's time to run away!

Therefore, some companies took advantage of the good opportunity of the stock price rising on the first day, and directly dumped part of the funds to leave, which caused the United Ultra-Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company to plummet the next day.

This situation immediately caused chaos in the entire stock market, so many investors who felt unstable ran away one after another. A few hours later, the stock of the United Ultra-Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company plummeted by more than 1000 billion U.S. dollars.

This situation immediately startled Professor Parkinson. After all, if the company plummets too much on the second day, it may really cause a chain reaction, causing the market's expectations for the company to plummet, which in turn will lead to the collapse of the entire company. It is difficult for the valuation to return to the current level of US$2 billion.

You know, in Professor Parkinson's original plan, the United Ultra-Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company will still have to carry out several rounds of additional issuance in the future, and each increase will bring huge financial benefits to him, and at the same time, this fund is also a pipeline As for the source of funds for construction, it is impossible to expect Goldman Sachs to invest in the construction of pipelines. It is so sweet to use the money of shareholders.

But now the stock price has begun to fall. Professor Parkinson will never allow this to happen.

In desperation, Professor Parkinson could only use part of Goldman Sachs' funds to buy stocks in the market, dragging down the stock price of the United Ultra Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company, and then issued an urgent announcement, saying that the company had also completed the first The planning work for the Phase 1 line is expected to start in a few months.

At the same time, the company also criticized Sang Huai in the announcement and said that some friends, who are obviously immature in technology, are forced to launch, just to compete for the false name of being the first to start construction, etc. You have the ability to be the first to open to traffic!

With such a combination of punches, the stock price of the United Ultra-Vacuum Railway Pipeline Company was barely stabilized. Unfortunately, this did not help bridge the differences in the board of directors. Everyone was still fighting over the division of lines, which made Ba Jinson The professor also had a headache.

In reality, not to mention the start of construction in a few months, it is even a big problem whether the division of the first line can be decided in a few months.

He is so difficult.
