Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 633 Carter's Confidence: Michael Jackson

"Charles, do you think I should sell now?"

"It's hard to say"

New York, South Side of Manhattan.

Looking at the exchange slowly closing its gate, two middle-aged Caucasians were standing by the side of the street with melancholy faces.
"Pepsi's attitude towards HT is that it must win, whether it is good or bad!"

“The good thing is that in the near term, transaction volumes should be down. Everyone is up for grabs, hoping to get a good price, but”

"If Pepsi had negotiated with those institutions in advance, they would have enough patience to grind with us for such a small stock here, delaying and reducing dividend payouts, forcing us to sell at a low price."

Beside the man named Charles, another person quietly picked up the topic:

"What the hell is HT doing?! Their stock price has fallen to 7.23, and their market value has evaporated by nearly one-eighth. They haven't moved at all. Tell me, maybe they really have a problem with their capital chain Right? The expansion speed of HT in recent years is not slow.”

"Probably not, I see that the financial report shows that it is normal! The current profit is indeed not much, and most of the profit is spent on the supply chain and stores, but isn't this what a high-quality company should do?"

How can this kind of enterprise become bigger and stronger and create another glories if it stops making progress after making money? !
Everyone understands the truth, but for retail investors who hold HT stocks, even if they understand it, it is not easy.
"Then why didn't they rescue the market? According to what you said, or HT's past performance, they are not a company that does not think about making progress. It will definitely be their pursuit to go global like McDonald's. It doesn’t matter if the stock price falls. Are their profits high enough to complete the construction of the global supply chain alone?”

"They are not afraid to play off, the stock price will not go up in the future, will they not be able to raise funds?! Or, their financial reports are false?!"

"Impossible! Financial fraud is the biggest scandal. If HT really dares to cheat financially, Pepsi has no reason not to seize this point and crack down hard. But to this day, Pepsi has sent people to their stores to make trouble. They have used all the tricks, but never mentioned that there is a problem with HT's financial report, which should show that their financial report is true!"

"So what's your suggestion?"

"Patience! Wait, my friend, don't rush to sell"

At the beginning of 1983, the fight between TB and HT, which had attracted much attention, became lively once again as Pepsi, behind TB, ended in person.

HT, which has not seen any action for a long time, has become a hot topic on Wall Street for a while.

The topic of "guess what HT is going to do" has also become the easiest topic to talk about when striking up a conversation.

Whether it is a fund manager or a small retail investor, people are wondering what exactly HT is holding back.
At the same time, the center of the topic center
In the office of HT Company, Carter, the real speaker, dropped the phone:

"A group of short-sighted insects!"

"what happened?"

"They actually asked us to borrow HT stocks, otherwise they would not promise not to lend HT stocks to others. The key is the interest rate. For us, they have to charge 25% interest. Heh!"

After dropping the calls from the financial institutions, Carter was very upset.

Intellectually speaking, Carter understands that these institutions require themselves to pay margins and borrow stocks.Again, in the financial market, favors are always secondary.

If the time is short, it may be nothing. A small loss of profit is not worth the value of favor.However, HT, which has been slow to act, will inevitably make those financial institutions that have agreed to cooperate feel dissatisfied.

With the increasing liquidity of HT stocks, Pepsi is also like a silly son of a landlord, waving money everywhere to buy and borrow HT stocks.
The ever-higher interest rates for securities lending have completely broken through the psychological defenses of these institutions: the same money, watching others make money, but not making money themselves.
What a bit of a bastard!

But from a perceptual point of view, there are only a lot of things that I have to worry about.At this time, those institutions that seem to be "our own people" are still here to take advantage of the fire, it is really...
"No! Let them lend the stock to Pepsi! Who are you threatening, really!"

"Are you sure? Carter, don't be impulsive!"

Looking at Carter, who looked like he was on top, Jinas and the shareholder representatives of Fidelity Investments were shocked.Are you really not afraid that the market will completely lose confidence in you? !
Originally, in the recent period, the selling orders of HT in the market were much more than the buying orders. At this time, the stocks were released to those opponents who obviously wanted to increase the selling volume.
In case of the emotional side of panic, the stampede effect comes together.
That guy, this stock price will definitely be different from the stock price, it is even more violent than the stock price! !
"Sure! Don't worry, I'm not being arrogant! If this wave doesn't make them bleed, they really think I'm a soft persimmon."

There was a sneer on the corner of Carter's mouth. If this happened yesterday, Carter might compromise, but what about today?
"Are the planes ready? I have to meet our cash cow for at least twenty years in the future!"

"The plane is ready, but is that black man named Michael Jackson really as fierce as you say?"

"He can only be more violent than I describe."

Michael Jackson is Carter's confidence!
Speaking of yesterday, Carter, who had never found a suitable spokesperson, complained casually about his troubles after receiving an inquiry call from Little Red Riding Hood.Then.
"Why don't you think about Michael Jackson?"

"The 25-year-old Grammy Best Male R&B Singer, black, poor background. Last year's "Beat It", didn't you see how popular it was? Speaking of coffee, the awards he has won so far may not have that There are many Morenos, but he and Quincy are the pioneers of the MV. Look at it in a few years, his status will definitely not be lower than Moreno's!"

"Oh, that's right, besides the buff you said about people of color and the poor, he also has a philanthropist buff. The last charity concert was held in Atlanta, don't you know?"

"How the hell would I know? I've been in Connecticut for the past few years. But you're right. From this point of view, this person is indeed suitable."

When the name of Michael Jackson and that "beat it" appeared at the same time, Carter, who crazily echoed "Fucking? Fucking?"
Carter has to admit that he is not a fan of Michael Jackson at all, and he doesn't even listen to his songs.But about this rumor, Carter has heard a lot, saying that world-class superstars are conservative.
Café, especially the future Café can be said to be MJ, the ceiling of the entertainment industry, coupled with the series of buffs
"I'll try to contact their company to see if I can invite him!"

"What company are you still in contact with? Wait, I'll give him a call. You can talk to him directly. After the talk, just report to Columbia Records."
