Chapter 845: Chapter 846
Over the weekend, the trend of Enron continued to be fermented in the media. At this time, not only investors who held Enron shares were very concerned about Enron's unreasonable trend on Friday, but many investors who did not own Enron shares also felt very strange after learning about the situation.

This is not the so-called bad news in general. It can be said that the facts and rumors are completely different. However, after the rumors were broken, the market trend still did not improve, and it was completely incomprehensible.

What is even more puzzling is that Enron's executives, in order to break the rumors in the market, formulated this plan very carefully, carefully raised funds, and kept avoiding the truth and refusing to answer the media's interview questions. I hope to create an unfavorable illusion for the last time.

The illusion they created so painstakingly is that they want to achieve a big comeback on this day, and they have even contacted the media and analysts. Once the market reverses on Friday, they will start to build momentum and re-establish Enron's image.

With such an endless trend of decline, not only investors in the stock market are losing money, but the company's top executives and major shareholders are also suffering heavy losses.

However, no matter whether it was Kenneth or other executives, after seeing Enron's stock market performance on Friday, they were all confused, and they couldn't continue with the follow-up promotional activities. Even after the market closed on Friday, they didn't rush again Meet to discuss countermeasures.

Such an emergency meeting was postponed until Saturday. It was supposed to be held on Friday afternoon, but obviously at that time, everyone had no mind to think about it.

On Saturday afternoon, in the meeting room on the top floor of Enron’s headquarters, all the current Enron executives were present to discuss the follow-up coping strategies. In order to understand the latest development of the situation, the TV in the meeting room played the video of the financial programs of major TV stations in the United States. , In front of everyone is the analysis and commentary of the major newspapers on this matter.

The meeting lasted until late at night, and the final result is unknown to the outside world. Although the paparazzi in the United States are still very powerful, they are helpless for such a very high-secret meeting. They can only block the gate of Enron's headquarters and the parking lot. The interviews asked those participants, without exception, they didn't get a chance, and no one left in a hurry with a blank face.

A beautiful turnaround that had been planned for a long time came to an anticlimactic end, and the market trend seemed to have exposed the current dilemma that Enron was facing.

The company seemed to be operating normally, but those investors who held a large number of Enron shares voted with their feet, and they didn't know why.

This is the question that has appeared the most in the past two days, whether it is on TV, radio or newspapers.

Enron's trend of rising first and then falling on Friday really stimulated the market too much. It is almost impossible to say that Enron has a serious problem. The specific aspect is still unknown, but the problem must be very serious, otherwise those who hold Why do investors with a large number of stocks sell their stocks one after another, even at such a low price, they still sell without hesitation.

It wasn't just Enron's top executives who were discussing this matter at a meeting on Saturday. At this time, in the general manager's office of Knicks Joint Fund, Jim was also discussing this matter with several senior executives.

The Knicks Fund had shorted 5 million shares of Enron at a high level before, but as the stock price continued to fall, they increased their position and shorted 40 million shares again near 5 yuan, and now they have held 1 million shares short positions in shares.

"Although I don't know the details of Enron, but judging from the market trend on Friday, Enron may really be doomed."

A bald white man in a suit and leather shoes said that although he is bald, he looks like he is only about 40 years old, and he should be middle-aged.

"Now it seems that God may not be able to save it. The short position is too powerful."

Someone else echoed that everyone sitting here at this time knows some inside information about Enron's recent trend, and they are not optimistic that Enron can use any magic tricks to turn defeat into victory.

Everyone was talking about Enron's analysis and judgment. At this moment, Jim, who was sitting behind the boss's chair, tapped on the desk lightly. He also understood everyone's opinions. They were all not optimistic about the future of Enron.

In fact, such analysis seminars have been held almost every week recently, because of the short position of 1 million shares, Jim has to be more careful, which is a floating book profit of more than 4 million yuan.

At this time, Jim, like Chen Fan, suffered from a fear of lows and was worried that the market would reverse at any time. After all, they hadn't confirmed who was leading all this behind the scenes.

"According to the previous analysis, they have shorted at least 3 million shares or more in the market, and there is no obvious sign of withdrawal until now.

And now Enron's trend, especially Friday's trend.
I think, although everyone may find it unbelievable to say it, I still feel that they are going to bring down Enron. "

Seeing that his subordinates had stopped communicating and their attention was focused on him, Jim spoke.

"It's really amazing. At this time, you dare to go short like this, go short like crazy. We have to admire the plan to close positions above 10 yuan. I think we can postpone it for a while."

Jim is now talking about his own judgment. He has synthesized the opinions of his previous subordinates and his own ideas, and calculated some previous plans. He feels that it is no longer suitable for the current development of the situation and needs to be revised, so he put forward out.

"Boss, although the current situation is indeed very beneficial to us, I think it is better not to completely negate the previous plan from a conservative point of view. I agree to reduce the number of liquidation positions in the first stage, adjusted from the previous 5 million shares. 2 million shares, that's what I think."

After listening to Jim's thoughts, everyone in the office began to discuss. They would not just flatter Jim blindly, they would speak according to the boss's wishes, they would express their opinions and express their opinions.

If Chen Fan or Mr. Mu, who was venting his anger on the bed, heard their discussion, they would be embarrassed to say, fuck you, labor is labor.

No one knows whether there is really someone in charge behind the Enron incident, but by mistake, up to now, as the top executives of the largest and most successful short-selling organization in the United States, they have indeed compared Chen Fan's short-selling record with Mr. Mu's reluctance to cut his flesh was mistaken for a hunting action by a Wall Street boss.

Well, they still have self-consciousness. When they know that the boss is haunting, they just take advantage of the situation to drink some soup. They don’t intend to take the lead in this matter. Look at the current pursuit of the Enron incident by American media organizations. It can be seen how much influence the big shot has.

Originally they thought it was a turnaround, but after getting the loan repaid by Enron on schedule, they were the ones who frantically swept up the market at the opening, and they were already planning to leave the market.

However, after seeing the concentrated release of 16 million shares that fell from the sky at 2 meters, they decisively chose to stop. As the stock price dropped, they immediately backhanded and quickly released these stocks again, and finally The trend of Enron's stock price also praised their decisive spirit, and they managed to make a little money.

Indeed, the selling price was a little lower, but at last there was no loss in this ultra-short-term transaction, and all came out.

"Then wait for the stock price to fall another 2 million yuan, we will take back another 2 million shares, and we will see the rest?"

Everyone has said the same thing. There are quite a few people who support continuing to hold positions, but there are also those who choose to be more conservative at this time, so at this moment someone began to tentatively ask Xu, so as to determine a basic idea.

"I still don't think that's necessary. Look, the main force dared to buy at 16 yuan. What does it mean? People have long-term plans, and they can choose to forcefully suppress the stock price in the face of such great benefits. We still have Nothing to worry about."

"I agree, continue to hold positions and wait for the stock price to continue to fall."

"It's too aggressive, reducing the position, it won't do us much harm."

"It's really unnecessary, why reduce the position, if it's really in place, just close the position and leave the market and it's over."

"."

Soon, everyone's discussion escalated again, and everyone had a big difference of opinion on whether to gradually start closing positions.

The two days of the weekend passed quickly. The commercial plane that Chen Fan's parents and family took stopped briefly at the Greek capital airport to refuel. At the same time, several Chinese people they brought out also got off the plane here. The commercial plane took off again and successfully sent them back to Amsterdam, where Liu Ying had been waiting for a long time.

The five Chinese couldn't stop thanking them before they got off the plane, but it wasn't for the money saved on the air ticket. St. Bastian Airport is really closed now.

Up to now, because the two sides are still fighting across the airport, the St. Bastan International Airport cannot be used, and a large number of foreign nationals and refugees have gathered here waiting for a way out.

If there hadn't been this Chinese private plane docked there, the five of them really couldn't have left the war-torn place in a short time.

Although you can't turn on your mobile phone to contact people outside on the plane, there are still broadcasts on the plane. They just escaped from St. Bastian, so they are naturally very concerned about the situation there.

Through the broadcasts they received along the way, they already knew that the airport was closed and a large number of refugees were gathering near St. Bastan International Airport at this time. The blue helmets had already set up defenses there, and the armies of the two warring parties were prohibited from entering there, even if they used the road.

Those who enter the refugee camp must ensure that they are not carrying weapons and can only be peaceful residents.

Now the refugee camp is fully supported by the relief supplies stored here before, and the air passage is completely unusable because of the multiple artillery battles that broke out between the two sides across the airport.

Of course, in addition to the refugees and international rescuers who are surrounded here by the warring parties, there are also a large number of refugees fleeing the battlefield by land.

According to what they heard on the radio, the largest humanitarian disaster in the Near East in the new millennium is unfolding, countless refugees are fleeing, and fierce street battles are erupting in several cities between the warring parties.

The Hebrew army has the advantage of powerful and advanced equipment, and quickly defeated St. Bastan's poor armed forces on the ground battlefield, crossing the actual line of control between the two sides previously delineated by the international community after mediation.

In St. Bastian City, the resistance they encountered was relatively weak, because most of the place itself was already controlled by them, and the resistance organization could only use rocket weapons to attack them outside the city.

However, the surrounding cities they wanted to completely occupy were met with fierce resistance from the resistance organization. Here, except for well-trained soldiers, the role of advanced weapons was greatly restricted, making it impossible for the Hebrew army to quickly control the city. City.

At the moment, Chen Fan is leaning on the sofa, watching the news on TV. The announcer is reporting the current battle in St. Bastian. The St. Bastian office was informed that all Chinese compatriots had successfully evacuated there when the war broke out.

Among them, more than ten people working and traveling in St. Bastan took the lead to leave St. Bastan by plane, and 6 people in other cities have safely evacuated to countries around St. Bastan by land in vehicles.

At this moment, the phone on the coffee table rang.

Chen Fan picked it up and took a look, it was Zheng Xiaopang calling.

Then I heard Zheng Xiaopang's voice, "Where are you? I heard that your parents caught up with the Middle East war."

Well, I don’t know if it’s because Zhang Quan inquired about the situation in St. Bastan from other channels. Before the rice stock market closed, Xu Jing knew that Chen Fan and Liu Ying’s parents were trapped in the city of St. Bastan. message, call to inquire.

It was only later that Chen Fan learned from Zhang Quan that it was through some connections in Huaguo. Otherwise, the international community only knew that a conflict had broken out there, and the details would be reported so quickly.

Thanks again to Zhang Quan, at least let him know that the situation in St. Bastian was no longer a conflict at that time, it was a war, and Chen Fan didn't bother to ask him what the relationship network was, even Heber The news that the army intends to occupy the 6 towns near St. Bastan is known.

Looking at the changes in international oil prices, the conflicts in the Near East did lead to a slight increase in international oil prices, but stagflation soon appeared. After all, the powder keg is often blown up. It seems that the market has become a little immune. Even the gold market Not much volatility.

Then came other people's phone calls, Zheng Xiaopang didn't know the news until this time, it seems that the fat man's news is not very well-informed.

What Chen Fan was thinking, but he still briefly explained the situation. Chen Fan had connected to his mother's phone earlier, knowing that they were safe, and was preparing to go to Amsterdam to meet with Liu Ying.

"Let me just say, the more than a dozen Chinese people mentioned on TV are probably your parents and bodyguards, haha."

Zheng Xiaopang smiled on the other end of the phone.

"Not all, there are 5 people who work there, and they took them away along the way. They have already gone to that airport before, and they will transfer back to China from there."

There was no pressure now, and Chen Fan chatted with Zheng Xiaopang relaxedly.
