Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

Chapter 266 You Don't Understand

"Stephen, you only have less than 5% of the shares left. Is it really worth it for that little bit of money?" Amy was very puzzled when she saw that Zhang San only had less than 5% of the shares left. She came to the office and couldn't stand it anymore, so she naturally had to ask him clearly.

"Amy, you don't understand. If you really want to know, then can you tell me? Can I trust you?"

Zhang San was holding Amy, whispering in her ear as if in a daze.

Amy blinked her big, bright eyes, somewhat confused by Zhang San's words. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I think I can trust him, right?"

"You see, you're not sure either, so there are some things I'd better not say. It wouldn't be good if I were betrayed someday."

Zhang San definitely won't reveal certain things. If he does, he's finished. His public image will be ruined, and he'll have to pay a lot of back taxes. That's the key point.

Zhang San sold NE Company's shares twice. The first time was when the company went public. Soon after, he began selling off his shares. However, on the surface, that company did not belong to Zhang San. Of course, after selling all his shares, he no longer had any dealings with NE Company.

When NE Company's stock price plummeted, Zhang San could have taken the opportunity to short it, but he refrained from doing so because he worried about what would happen if people in mainland China found out the truth and gossiped about it.

If we're talking about Zhang San's financial dealings, there might be some misunderstandings among some people. Many feel that Zhang San has always been bullish, but for no other reason than that, so far, Zhang San has never shorted a single case. The fact that he hasn't shorted doesn't mean he hasn't done it; it just means that his methods are much more covert.

He's done something like this before: first, he inflates the price of his shares, then spreads rumors online, or gets the retail investors to come up with different ideas. Sometimes, the worst thing is not that you don't want to do something, but that you don't want to.

In finance, speculation is often carried out through this kind of thinking.

But Zhang San's hype wasn't to drive up stock prices, but to attract others to buy stocks. In this case, his own funds would also come along with other funds and join in. There's a saying, how can a drop of water go unnoticed?

Some people have said that if you throw it into the sea and let it blend into the ocean, how could it be discovered?

Zhang San's funds came along with other funds, and they were ordered to come as well. Naturally, they were just like the others, like ignorant lambs.

They had already consulted with the company before the sealed bid, and then Zhang San sent an email. The premium rate and the number of shares to be purchased were clearly stated in the email.

Finally, 80% of them were actually fund companies behind Zhang San, while the other two were intentionally created by Zhang San. Fortunately, the two of them together accounted for less than 3%, so this operation naturally concealed his fund company very well.

The first time he did this was before the dot-com bubble burst in North America; the second time was when many fund companies suddenly and quietly acquired NT-MS shares. One hundred fund companies held 50% of NT-MS shares, and in the future, these NT-MS shares held by these one hundred fund companies would be sold to more fund companies to truly turn the shares into retail shares, public shares.

Of course, the biggest advantage of this operation is that it makes the company appear to be a real public company on the surface. No one will realize that behind these companies, Zhang San's will is still reflected, but Zhang San just doesn't want to be in the spotlight.

His love for charity stemmed from his charitable work in recycling old items, which embodied the principle of "you receive the subsidies, I'll handle the trash." Zhang San rose to become the "Paper King of Asia" through this very act.

This time, it was about NE Company's stock. He withdrew again, leaving NE Company as a major shareholder and becoming a minority shareholder with less than 5% ownership.

By doing this, Zhang San can distribute his shares so that no one can find out where his shares are. And these shares will not remain in the hands of these people forever; they will continue to be traded and circulate among different fund companies.

When Stephen Realty reduced its stake in NE to below 5%, it surprised everyone by buying no more than 5% of AMAZ's stock.

On the internet, Zhang San has become a news-making machine in the eyes of many people, and he often does many strange things.

Two years ago, he appeared on a private beach in Los Angeles with a female celebrity. It was probably a private beach, and the two were in a nude state. Of course, on one's own beach, one can do whatever one wants, which is understandable. However, since they were photographed, the matter became quite a big deal.

For this, Zhang San received over two million US dollars, and his muscular physique was made public. Meanwhile, the actress who debuted as a princess had just finished filming a movie for Sweeney Pictures, and the two were out having fun.

Zhang San sued the other party in court, and the other party pleaded guilty and paid compensation directly.

This time, he had the chance to become rich overnight, but he gave it up, which many people found hard to understand; however, they were also used to Zhang San's cynical and unrestrained style.

It's not that Zhang San is pretending to be crazy, but his nonchalant attitude makes others feel that this guy is really American, even more American than American.

This operation evoked complex emotions in the American fans towards Zhang San, especially his talent. It is said that many blockbuster film series were written, developed, and strongly promoted by Zhang San.

For example, the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, the Marvel live-action film series, and the later five-part Harry Potter film series, he also promoted the five-part Dinosaur film series.

Many other films were also his work. Although not all of them were box office hits, most of them were examples of low-budget films that achieved great success.

With such achievements, it's too early to call him a top screenwriter, but some people are already calling him that.

In addition, globally, Zhang San is already known as Mr. Stephen, the gold medal producer.

This is a very common situation. His reputation is mostly reflected within the group. Capable people are respected everywhere.

However, Zhang San didn't care about any of that. What truly pleased him was that he had hidden his wealth, making it difficult for others to find out which assets belonged to him. That was a kind of experience—the wealth of others.
