1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 364 Cash out $150 million

"Ye, are you really going to sell all 5% of the shares you hold to me?" Sloan, the current president of General Motors, looked at the young Chinese who saved him from the abyss and couldn't help but ask again. .

"Do you know how high our company's stock price is now? It's 281.4 US dollars per share. When it was first registered, our company's registered capital was 1000 million US dollars, with a total share capital of 5, and the issued share capital on the market was about 5, and what you are talking about This continuous 5000% is % of the total share capital, which means there are a full shares!"

Sloan knew that Ye Luo should have calculated the value of these shares long ago, but he couldn't help but repeat it again, solemnly reminding him of the preciousness of these shares.

In order to thank Ye Luo for buying 2000 Chevrolet 490s and saving General Motors from hell, he directly gave away 5% of the shares for free, and Ye Luo did not pay a penny.

Therefore, in his opinion, Ye Luo can wait patiently for the company's stock to reach the top before considering selling it for cash, or he can simply hold it in his hands and wait for the company's future development.

Nowadays, the U.S. stock market is so prosperous, and General Motors is the only super car company with the same reputation as Ford. Its future is limitless. Maybe after some time, the stock price will exceed the astonishing US$300.

He was a little too anxious.

"I know. After deducting the handling fee, it's about 140 million U.S. dollars, right?" Ye Luo nodded casually, "I hope the money will arrive today, so I came to you directly. You are General Motors If the largest shareholder takes another 5% of the shares, it should be close to safe control (safe control requires holding more than 34% of the shares, and the shareholder will have veto power on the board of directors)."

"After getting 5% from you, I will hold 37% of the shares." Sloan nodded. Everyone knew this and there was nothing to hide.

As General Motors gradually came back to life, the internal battles between major shareholders were endless. Since he held more than 30% of the shares, other senior executives have been preventing him from reaching the 34% warning line, preventing Sloan from having a veto power. .

For more than a year, Sloan racked his brains and finally understood that if he wanted to gain safe control, he had to take back Ye Luo's shares.

But he thought about his friendship with Ye Luo and didn't want to break his face over such a thing, so he didn't speak.

Seeing the stock market becoming more and more prosperous, his dream of controlling General Motors never had a chance to come true.

Unexpectedly, when he thought it was the most impossible, Ye Luo came to the door.

It really lives up to the saying "You never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident."

"Then I'll congratulate you in advance, Sloane."

When Ye Luo said these words, Sloan knew that he had made up his mind and no longer tried to dissuade him. He just nodded and said: "Thank you, Ye. No matter what your reasons are for transferring these shares to me, you You have all done me a big favor, and I will immediately send someone to transfer $150 million to your Citibank account. In fact, judging from the current stock market conditions, you still lost a lot with $150 million."

"Haha, thank you very much. I don't think it's a loss if I can earn another 10 US dollars for nothing." Ye Luo waved his hand.

After leaving General Motors, Ye Luo returned to the headquarters of Hongxing United Group with satisfaction and made a detailed inspection of the recent performance of penny stock salesmen, as well as the profit and loss status of the 5320 million yuan of the military and political officials of the Nationalist Government.

It has to be said that the current U.S. stock market is really hot. The 5320 million yuan converted into 1100 million US dollars rolled into more than 1500 million US dollars in less than a month, and was evenly divided among the 152 people, with an average profit of 7.7 US dollars per person.

In other words, these people don't have to do anything, they just hand over the money to Ye Luo, and they can receive an average monthly dividend of about 37 yuan per person!

According to this momentum, in three months, he can earn the 490 million yuan that Ye Luo earned from tinkering with the Chevrolet 100!

This is the U.S. stock market right now.

If you have enough capital, getting rich overnight is not a dream.

Of course, when the feedback came back to Shanghai, it was impossible for Ye Luo to let 152 people make a lot of money.

He has already asked Xiao Aqiao to divide the detailed information of those people according to their current position, power, popularity, etc. In the future, those who are beneficial to China and the Ye family can be divided more. There are also some people who have been divided since Ye Luo left Shanghai. When we were on the beach, we never thought about letting them make money. For example, the well-established fence-sitter Lin Kanghou, and Kuroda Shi from Tokyo, etc.

Except for the part invested in Hongxing United Group and Huixin, all of his own 1700 million US dollars quietly flowed into the stock market.

Yello is different from Livermore.

Livermore devoted all his attention to short selling, only focusing on high-priced stocks, hoping that they would reach the top, and then short selling in a fierce wave.

But Ye Luo is more familiar with this stock market crash and knows what to do when. He can make money from hot stocks in an orderly manner during the bull market, make a few short positions when there are signs in the stock market, and frantically short U.S. stocks before the stock market collapses. .

No matter how powerful a trader is, no trader would dare to act recklessly in this kind of high-risk, high-return investment project.

Especially various short-term operations are regarded by experienced traders as mistakes only made by novices.

But if you can accurately know the trends of many stocks and have a good understanding of the general trend of the stock market, short-term operations will become the fastest way to make money.

Of the US$1700 million, US$1200 million was injected into the US stock market by Ye Luo.

And all the money is handled by him personally. He alone has the final say on which stocks to buy, when to buy them, and when to sell them.

Although Situ Feifei knew that Ye Luo was controlling this, he didn't know the specific details.

Ye Luo didn't tell anyone about this matter, nor did he ask anyone to help him, except for the three people Shi Jianqiao who helped him.

Xu Wenqiang, who was quite business-minded, immediately followed him to buy stocks, and Ye Luo did not stop him. Quan regarded it as a benefit to the people around him.

Anyway, Xu Wenqiang's capital is only tens of thousands, so he can't make any waves at all.

On the other hand, Shi Jianqiao and Huo Ting'en, who are martial artists, know that they are following Ye Luo to make money, but they don't bother to enter the show. They just compete with each other every day when they have free time, treating money like dirt.

In their view, money is enough and there is no need to go to great lengths to earn more.

When the market closed today, Ye Luo looked at the balances in more than a dozen accounts. The 1200 million US dollars increased by 300 million and became 1500 million, which is not bad.

If this momentum continues, Ye Luo is confident that he can turn the money into 2000 million before the end of June.

I boasted to Livermore before that I could provide 5000 million US dollars in funds, but I can't slap myself in the face when the time comes.

After arranging things in the company, Ye Luo picked up the phone and planned to ask Old Joseph to have dinner together tomorrow to formally discuss cooperation with him.

Joseph Sr., Mamure, and John Jr. were all true Franklinites, and Franklin was eyeing Hoover's presidency and needed a businessman who could advise him and provide a large amount of funds.

Looking out the window at the Empire State Building in New York, Ye Luo felt that he was getting closer to it.
