Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 336, Crisis (Subscribe)
Bang!
An exquisite bottle was smashed in a luxurious villa in Long Island, New York.

Seeing Harlan Nicholson so furious, Randy Gardner frowned and asked:
"Did he really say that? You're not exaggerating?"

"Fuck, who do you take me for?"

Upon hearing this, Harlan Nicholson instantly became like an angry lion, staring at Randy Gardner with wide eyes:
"Randy, you're just jealous of me. I've always said that people like him don't need our help. They can live well on Wall Street alone. How many times have we attacked them? But look at how much they've lost. How much have we lost, too?"

"Yes, the other party is indeed very strong, and we should win them over. But God, you don't know how stubborn they are. Anyway, I will never see them again. People like them deserve to die."

Harlan Nicholson was indeed very angry at this time.

It was because Zhao Mancang not only did not agree to his request, but even humiliated him.

What is unity and cooperation?

Haha, Zhao Mancang doesn’t need it at all.

Wall Street has always been a place where profit is paramount. Harlan Nicholson and his group have long wanted to get him on board, but how could he possibly get on board?
Zhao Mancang took advantage of the two beauties without hesitation and then threw them to Medford.

This time, Zhao Mancang was even more ruthless to these women.

If they really dare to make him angry again, haha, Zhao Mancang will definitely make their life difficult.

Not to mention that he is domineering, there are few men in the world who can remain calm after encountering such a thing.

A woman like Maggie is nothing but stupid.

Not to mention.

"You're being extreme, Harlan. You should calm down."

Lore Johnson spoke at this time, and Harlan Nicholson was no longer angry after hearing it.

He could yell at Randy Gardner, but he didn't dare to be rude to Luol Johnson because Luol was his teacher.

Inside the room, several other people also expressed their opinions.

Since Zhao Mancang is unwilling to cooperate with them and join the brotherhood, the next step is to deal with Zhao Mancang.

Wall Street cannot have too many newcomers, which is not good for everyone's interests, so the best way is to drive these newcomers out.

Or even, beat them directly into the dust.

Some people also expressed different opinions, saying that they should cooperate with people like Zhao Mancang rather than confront them.

The reason is simple. Zhao Mancang has been on Wall Street for such a long time without any problems and has always been prosperous. People like him should cooperate with him rather than confront him.

Unfortunately, everyone did not agree with this because they wanted more, and Zhao Mancang obviously made too much money, which made them jealous.

Zhao Mancang stayed in New York for the next few days until the financial settlement of Wall Street Wolf financial companies such as Aucma was completed. He saw the data and then re-settled the profits.

This wave of oil crisis did not last very long.

But in just a few months, financial companies such as The Wolf of Wall Street did see a significant increase in profits again.

This time, Zhao Mancang took away 6.2 billion US dollars, and the remaining profits remained in their respective companies.

The 6.2 billion US dollars were all converted into materials: oil, food, minerals, industrial equipment, transport vehicles, etc.

Such a huge amount of funds will of course be purchased directly by companies such as Wanjia Supermarket, Mario Airlines, Stephen Farm Group, and Fairchild Semiconductor.

Zhao Mancang has so many companies under his control, so he can certainly make full use of this. In this way, there is no need to worry about the materials purchased with such a large amount of money being discovered.

After these supplies are gathered together, Zhao Mancang can pack them all up and take them away, disappearing without anyone noticing.

To Sam, his wealth seemed to have increased, but only on paper.

There are many ways to make these riches disappear out of thin air.

A warehouse fire, a shipwreck at sea, a traffic accident, etc., you can apply for bankruptcy protection through these accidents, so there are simply too many ways.

After the deal was finalized, Zhao Mancang came to Mayflower Media Group.

Salvatore Van Buren began reporting.

He was the new head, and although he was very familiar with the business, he was still not as good as the previous head, Randolph Daniel.

However, Zhao Mancang had no complaints. He just used it first. After all, everyone needs a period of getting familiar with the software.

On the way, Zhao Mancang's phone rang. It was the head of Stratton Company who contacted him.

The financial institutions under First Citibank launched an attack on their Stratton Company and launched a crazy counterattack in the stock exchange, futures exchange and other markets in order to fight against their Stratton Company.

"Okay, I get it. Just fight back. I'll arrange for someone to assist you."

When he heard about this, a hint of anger suddenly flashed across Zhao Mancang's face.

But it was just anger, not worth his anger.

This should be the aftereffect of the previous banquet.

It’s just that they rejected the recruitment of the First Citibank Consortium. Haha, these people are really not very magnanimous.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Mancang started to mobilize people, notifying Aucma and several other companies, asking them to assist Stratton in attacking the financial institution.

If the opponent can withstand it, haha, then the opponent is powerful.

In business competition, there are never so many small things, they are all big things.

"You go ahead."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Mancang said to Salvatore Van Buren.

The latter was already dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Zhao Mancang would let him hear this secret information.

The financial circle on Wall Street is indeed quite chaotic, with conflicts of interest and everything can be measured by money.

Regardless of what Salvatore Van Buren was thinking, after Zhao Mancang confirmed that nothing had happened to the Mayflower Media Group, he nodded, encouraged the other party a few words, and then got up and left.

Zhao Mancang went straight to the headquarters of Stratton Company and asked the person in charge for the specific situation.

"Boss, the situation isn't optimistic right now. The other party is directly suppressing the shares of many of our holdings, especially Coca-Cola and Bunge. They've already driven the stock prices very low."

"If we don't save them, they will surely die miserably this time."

Hearing this, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but laugh.

Is there such a good thing?

Bunge is one of the four major grain giants and is also a listed company.

Starting in 1964, Zhao Mancang began secretly purchasing three grain giants, Bunge, Archer Daniels Midland and Cargill, through black markets.

But in the past decade or so, they have developed rapidly and accumulated a lot of land, farms, etc.

The market value is already very high.

Especially in the past year, the Federal Reserve has been printing US dollars on a large scale, and inflation has soared, causing companies like Cargill to grow rapidly as well.

An overvalued stock market is a good thing.

But for Zhao Mancang, he had no way to delist grain giants such as Bunge and become his private company.

Even now, he has only acquired 39% of the shares, which is still a long way from being privatized and delisted.

At this time, First Citibank actually helped to suppress the stock price. That was really a blessing in disguise, which made Zhao Mancang happy.

"In that case, you can also help and take advantage of the situation to suppress the stock prices of the three major grain companies: Bunge, Cargill, and Archer Daniels Midland."

Zhao Mancang happily announced a change in strategy. He would no longer compete with First Citibank and others to deal with companies like Coca-Cola, but would directly use Bunge and other companies as battlefields.

When the person in charge heard this, although he had doubts, he still carried out the order.

On the other hand, when we saw that the stock prices of several companies such as Bunge continued to fall.

In the exchange, many retail investors began to sell their stocks because the stock price was falling and was about to form a downward trend.

If no one rescues the market at this time, big problems will inevitably arise.

"What's going on? Fuck, are they going to give up on Bunge?"

In the office of a financial institution affiliated with First Citibank, Harlan Nicholson, Randy Gardner and others who participated in the siege immediately noticed that something was wrong.

It's unusual that the stock prices of companies like Bunge have plummeted.

They just gave it a push and invested less than 200 million US dollars, and then as a giant in the grain industry, they collapsed just like that?
"Hurry, hurry, investigate thoroughly."

At this moment, Harlan Nicholson and the others were suddenly panicked. There must be something they didn't know.

However, two days passed before they found out from the market that someone had sold 2.8% of the shares, causing Bunge's stock price to plummet.

Then a mass exodus quickly took place, with retail investors fleeing and unwilling to continue holding Bunge shares.

Unfortunately, at this time, there were not many people willing to buy the shares because the stock price had not yet reached the bottom.

Participants like Harlan Nicholson were even more afraid to take over because they simply did not have that much money.

Their idea was simple: to suppress Bunge's stock price, bring it down successfully, and then buy shares at a low price.

As for suppressing Coca-Cola, Cargill and others, it is just a side job and a smokescreen for everyone.

However, now Bunge, Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland Company have all experienced capital flight to varying degrees, and their stock prices are about to fall below zero.

In just two days, the stock price has fallen by more than three dollars, which is definitely a huge loss.

The economic crisis caused by the oil crisis already existed, but now it seems that the collective panic will only intensify.

How to do?
Many big retail investors in New York gathered together to discuss this issue: should they sell?

They are still very optimistic about Sam's economy, and so far they have not received any negative news related to Bunge, so they can still remain stable.

But now the rout seems to have already begun.

And because financial institutions under First Citigroup are suppressing Bunge, and Stratton and others are selling Bunge's shares, it seems that this company is really beyond saving.

But it is hard to say whether this is a trap or not.

Some people sold their shares and fled, some didn't even notice the incident, and some remained calm and had no thoughts about it so far, still holding on to Bunge shares.

Upon learning that Stratton was actually selling off its shares, Harlan Nicholson immediately became suspicious:
"They're actually selling off Bunge stock. Could something have happened? But Bunge is operating well. It's only November, so there shouldn't be any major surprises."

If it is May or June, then it may be due to typhoons and other weather conditions that lead to poor harvests, or drought problems, etc.

All of these factors are likely to affect Bunge's stock price. But even if there is a big impact, there shouldn't be such a large-scale exodus. What is going on?

From the current perspective, market sentiment has been formed, but it is still not vigorous enough.

When Zhao Mancang saw this, he immediately asked Aucma and other companies that held a large number of shares to join in and suppress the market severely.

This time, Zhao Mancang directly asked the relevant companies to sell 4% of their shares within two days.

After the sell-off, it will be the weekend soon.

After two days of fermentation over the weekend, Bunge's stock price will definitely continue to plummet starting from Monday.

The time to enter the market and buy at the bottom is far from ripe, so Zhao Mancang is certainly not in a hurry.

At worst, he just doesn't want Bunge anymore. He will make a profit no matter what price he sells it at.

Besides, even if he gave up Bunge, he would not have any regrets.

On the contrary, it would definitely be a very good thing if Bunge could be successfully privatized and delisted during this economic crisis.

If this is really accomplished, then a new vest must be arranged, otherwise, it may not be possible to keep this wave of wealth.

As companies such as Aucma were dumping their stocks, 4% of the shares had not been completely sold out, and a new round of major rout occurred in just half a day.

There is no one trading the sell orders.

The stock price has continued to plummet, falling by one or two US dollars every two minutes, which is a very fast speed.

“Should we buy the dip now?”

The people from First Citibank were immediately discussing this matter, because it now seemed that Zhao Mancang had already started to flee.

In just a few consecutive days, about 6% of the shares were sold, which is definitely a huge amount.

The market is very sensitive to this aspect.

"No, let's wait and see until the investigation is complete."

Harlan Nicholson still insisted on his own idea that he should not enter the market at this time.

It's too early.

Zhao Mancang has left New York and arrived in Hong Kong Island.

Yes, he did not stay in Manhattan at all and play capital games with these big capitalists.

Zhao Mancang believed that the Wall Street Wolf and other financial elites were definitely the best among the best, not to mention that he had given them so much help.

If they don't handle this well, their high salaries will end there.

Everyone wants to get a high salary, but not everyone can get a high salary all the time.

If you want to get a high salary, you must show your real ability.

Otherwise, why would you get such a high salary?
Market changes in New York will continue, and Zhao Mancang can receive information every day.

At this time, off-the-board tactics are very important.

However, Zhao Mancang did not personally do anything shady. After all, he employed so many people, and it was time to put them to work.

Hong Kong Island, TVB Music Department.

The reason Zhao Mancang came here today was, of course, for his daughter Zhao Huijun.

Her first album is about to be released.

The song is pretty good, but it’s not certain that everyone will like it or even pay for it.

A vinyl record is still very expensive, and most people certainly can't afford it.

Of course, in addition to vinyl records, there are also cassette records.

To be honest, cassette records of that era were not cheap either.

"Are you nervous?"

Zhao Mancang looked at the little girl. When he first met her, she was just a four-year-old kid.

In the blink of an eye, she has now become a beautiful young lady.

At the age of nineteen, she is as beautiful as a flower.

"Don't be nervous." Zhao Huijun smiled sweetly and said:
"Daddy, you are by my side, and my brothers and sisters are all here, so I am not nervous."

Haha, if you are really not nervous, that’s good.

In the following two days, the new album began to be promoted during the most popular advertising time on wireless TV stations.

The radio station also started taking song requests, and the song promotion officially began.

With so many resources, almost all of them are given to Zhao Huijun, and her album contains very high-quality songs, so of course it is very popular.

The most crucial point is that several songs in her album have music videos, so everyone saw them first.

The song and the MV images have a huge impact on everyone.

This wave of impact quickly caused Zhao Huijun's album sales to exceed 50,000 copies.

After the middle school and university students go on vacation, there will definitely be another surge in prices.

Various media outlets began to publicize: a new star is rising in the music industry.

Newspapers such as the Hong Kong and Kowloon Daily did not promote the event on the front page because they are not professional entertainment newspapers and there is no need for such promotion.

Although Zhao Mancang could order this to happen, there was no need to do so.

We are a serious and neutral newspaper, not an entertainment newspaper, so of course we cannot break the rules like this.

Therefore, it is entirely possible to set up a magazine dedicated to reporting entertainment news.

Zhao Mancang stayed in Hong Kong Island for more than a week, briefly paid attention to the sales of Zhao Huijun's new album, and then prepared to leave.

But Liu Baochan pestered him and insisted that he make a promise that her child would be taken care of in this regard in the future.

"You, why do you have to fight for everything? And do you think being in the entertainment industry is a good thing? Anyway, it depends on the children's wishes, but only one of them can go into the entertainment industry. If all of them want to go, haha, I will break their legs."

After hearing this, Liu Baochan let him go.

After leaving Hong Kong Island, Zhao Mancang returned to Beijing.

Nothing happened at home, so Zhao Mancang only stayed for two days and then went back to work.

He urged the Longxing Research Institute and other relevant units to speed up the completion of the scientific research tasks he had previously assigned.

By this time, an extreme shortage of scientific research talent had already emerged.

There are Jiaolong schools that train relevant talents, and the talents coming out of Peking University, Tsinghua University and other schools are also quite good.

However, it is no longer a college entrance examination system, and it is still difficult to select the best from the best.

No top talents have emerged, and to be honest, ordinary people from rural areas do not have much ability.

Zhao Mancang knew all about the situation, but he was powerless to do anything.

What can we do now?

Seize the time to recruit more talents.

hiring!

Related technologies such as optical disc storage and VCD should also appear.

We should also start developing handheld game consoles. We can't fall behind Sam's.

And now the 43 projects have already begun. By around 1979, all of these projects will be completed. Then it will be a good time for reform and opening up.

Zhao Mancang stayed in Beijing until mid-December before returning to New York.

At this time, New York was completely in a killing frenzy.

The stock prices of three grain giants, Bunge, Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland, have been chattering.

Especially Bunge's stock price, which has now fallen to only $0.42 per share. This is a pure penny stock.

Even so, no one dares to buy at the bottom.

why?
Because there are too many people dumping the market.

Zhao Mancang made a lot of arrangements. He originally held 39% of the shares. In late November, he took out 6% to dump the market.

Afterwards, he took out another 10% to crash the market.

But only 6% was successfully traded, which was considered a loss recovery.

However, 10% of the shares have not been successfully traded because no one is willing to buy them.

In today's market, there are many people who want to escape, about 30% of people want to escape.

In the dark market, Zhao Mancang had already arranged for people to purchase these shares.

Because it was carried out in secrecy, it has not been discovered so far.

Even now, there are many people keeping an eye on Bunge.

But unfortunately, the second wave of the oil crisis hit again.

The situation in the Middle East became chaotic again. The price of oil had originally fallen back to US$13 a barrel, but it soared again to US$18 a barrel.

And the price will continue to rise, and at the same time a new round of economic crisis has emerged, and more people have lost their jobs.

When this happened, Harlan Nicholson and others were already panicking because they had too many things to pay attention to.

The question of whether or not to buy Bunge at the bottom has also been put on hold.

After all, now they can focus on making profits from oil and other areas instead of competing with Zhao Mancang.

So should we still buy at the bottom?
