Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.
Chapter 15 Multiple Blooms
Upon returning to North America, Zhang San felt that a press conference shouldn't be held in North America, but rather globally, and that all attention should be shifted elsewhere. As a time traveler, Zhang San always had a sense of crisis, which was paranoia, a fear of capital.
"Allen, I need your help with something."
Allen was playing a game when he heard that Zhang San needed his help, which he found strange. Now that Allen was rich, he was naturally a little puzzled.
"Stephen, you speak."
He agreed without even turning his head.
"Allen, didn't you want to act? I need you to act in a play, and here's the thing..."
Allen had no problem with it; in fact, he was more than happy to do so, and he naturally wanted to do something that would make him stand out.
A software company was registered in Allen's name, with him owning 10% of it. The company was named Allen Software. Of course, this was not the end, but just the beginning. Helen also agreed to help. She went to the mainland and would represent Summer Company to hold a press conference. Jessica, of course, could not escape Zhang San's request and went to London, where she also owned 10% of the shares, just like the others.
He, on the other hand, was preparing to short MS Corporation, because the launch of NTOS would definitely severely impact MS Corporation's market share.
Two months later, in mid-September 1989, the newly formed Allen Software Company sent out invitations to various investment banks. The content was simple: the company would release a revolutionary software that would sweep MS Company into the dustbin of history; and they were invited to attend a press conference on October 7, 1989, to be held at the Hillton Hotel in New York.
Meanwhile, the invitation was received not only by investment banks, but also by various media outlets and manufacturers—a great many of them.
On the other side of the world, various media outlets in London also received similar invitations; not only in London, but also in Hong Kong and Shanghai on the mainland.
At this moment, at the headquarters of MS Corporation in Seattle, they were having a meeting. They had just been working in their respective departments when they were suddenly called over.
Everyone noticed that MS's CEO and founder was staring at everyone in the conference room with a dark expression, and none of them knew what had happened.
"Take a look at this, everyone."
He turned on the slide, which showed an invitation that read: "Our company will release a revolutionary software that will sweep MS Company into the dustbin of history; and we invite you to attend the press conference on October 7, 1989, at the Hillton Hotel in New York."
Those below were also shocked by the other party's arrogance and understood why their boss was so angry.
"Go and investigate this company immediately."
Seeing their boss angry, the subordinates immediately sprang into action. As a Seattle giant, their influence was naturally immense. However, this time, their investigation revealed that the Allen company was registered in Delaware, while its parent company was an overseas entity.
The search yielded nothing, which was quite embarrassing for them; however, it wasn't entirely fruitless. They discovered that similar authorizations existed in mainland China, Hong Kong, London, and even in the northern big brother's territory, which made them very anxious.
"Can anyone tell me what happened?"
What's most terrifying is the unknown, of course. MS's CEO is also a bit panicked about this kind of unknown thing. If it were only one place, they wouldn't think much of it. But the fact that this kind of news has appeared in several places around the world means that they want to create a sensation, and they have something to offer.
This negative news directly impacted the stock market. MS's stock price started to fall from $0.7 to $0.62, but some people were still accumulating shares to maintain the stock price. Meanwhile, many newspapers had already published the invitation notice.
"It's a joke that an unknown company dares to challenge the system's overlord."
"Watch how an elephant crushes an ant!"
Let's look at a joke of the century!
"Some people will be embarrassed."
"Let's see how they handle this."
……
Newspapers began to ridicule MS Company to the extreme, perhaps to curry favor with MS Company, and the newspaper reports reversed the downward trend of MS Company's stock market.
It has risen to $0.7 and there is a possibility of breaking through to the upside.
"Let's begin."
In the VIP room of Jinren Company, Zhang San directed the traders to sell the borrowed stocks. This time, he had paid a margin of 100 million US dollars and borrowed 500 million US dollars worth of MS Company stock.
Under normal circumstances, no one would buy the stock, but print media started to get involved and began mocking Allen Software. North American retail investors believed the print media; in addition to retail investors, some Wall Street funds also joined in and went long.
"Stephen, you are a genius."
Lawrence, one of the partners of the Golden Man Group.
"It's not time yet. This is just the beginning. We need to sell our stocks as soon as possible, otherwise we'll miss the opportunity."
Selling $500 million worth of stock is not easy, but this is precisely the time when retail investors and institutional investors flock to the market, making it a good time to sell. However, some clever people have noticed that MS Company's stock has a very large trading volume, exceeding $100 million in a single day.
This is not like twenty or thirty years from now, when MS, a company with a market value of hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars, would only see its daily transactions of tens or hundreds of billions of dollars as a drop in the ocean.
Things are different now. Before October 7th, more than two billion US dollars had already been traded, and the trading volume has increased. Is there any reason for this?
Considering the recent Allen 'invitation' incident, they felt something was amiss. If that was the case, did the new challenger truly possess the ability to slay the giant MS Corporation?
Institutions holding MS stock have also begun to quietly sell off their shares, but they may be a little late; there's still one day left, on Saturday, October 7th.
"I've received information that it's Jinren Company; they're aggressively shorting MS, and they've already sold off all of their MS shares."
An elite rushed to Lehman Brothers, where they whispered confidential information in the manager's ear.
"What did you say? It's Golden Man Company, they sold all their MS Company stock?" The manager almost lost control of his emotions and finally panicked. They had always thought that Allen Company was nothing but a joke.
"Yes, it's them."
"Quickly, sell off all the MS company stock we hold."
