American Fortune Life

In fact, Andy also understands that it is wishful thinking to leverage the fluctuation of Apple's stock price with the stock in his hand.

In January 2006, Apple's market value reached 72 billion US dollars, and its listed tradable shares reached 99, with a total share capital of more than 9.4 billion shares.

Of course, Andy has also consulted the information, and he understands it very well. He didn’t think about affecting the stock price fluctuations by himself, and he doesn’t have that capital now. It’s just that the current trend of Apple’s stock is very strange, and it continues to fluctuate. It doesn't rise much and it can't fall. It seems that the long side is wrestling, the short side is hesitant, and the long side doesn't make any effort, just like this stalemate.

What Andy wants Bardstone to do is to be a person who lights the fuse, ignites the flames of war, and it's best if he can profit from it, and he can get out of it if he can't.

Well, the newspaper office has already lit a powder keg, and this side is thinking about detonating another one. They are really spoilers that ignite the flames of war everywhere.

This is also the main reason why when many people called Andy behind his back, most of them used spoiler or arsonist. Of course, if in China, it would be nice for this kind of person to call him spoiler. . . .

After Andy gave the task to Bardstone, he happily returned to his office, turned on the computer, and waited for the stock market to open.

But Bardstone got busy. After a while, in a room with more than a dozen computers, he sat in front of the computer in the middle, and told the surrounding subordinates what he said today. To do, everyone got an account and the funds were transferred in very quickly.

To leverage stock fluctuations, it is necessary to increase the turnover rate, that is, to buy and sell. Of course, too frequent operations will not work, but the purpose of Bardstone's attention is to attract the sharks from Apple.

Speaking of Apple’s Shark Gang, most of them are non-executive directors. These vampires who bought stocks with cash and can only wait for the appreciation, naturally don’t like this kind of slow and steady appreciation, otherwise they wouldn’t take it Apple's stock was in a mess, but after God Joe returned to Apple, these people all stepped aside. The dictatorial devil regained these fat moths in the eyes of God Joe with coercion. Now there is only one voice in Apple, and that is the voice of God Joe, and all Apple companies will rise again, and these achievements have also increased his power. certainly. Several institutions such as Fidelity Fund, which accounted for 207 shares, were naturally not included.

These greedy sharks have no choice but to make small moves in the capital market. For 23 months every year, they will deliberately suppress the stock price and earn the price difference by changing hands. After the sweetness, it naturally became their reserved item, and they still had a great time playing until Andy crossed over.

In fact, there are many people on Wall Street who understand the tactics of these shark gangs, and they can also profit from it, but the key is that they are not as rich as this group of people. Looking at the 9.4 billion outstanding shares, most of them are in the hands of these people. There are not many circulating in the market, so there will be a 14-year stock split. Nima, 1 share splits 7 shares, and there is no one. It is to increase the liquidity of Apple stock.

After the U.S. stock market entered 2006, the stock market rose sharply due to the abnormal activity of corporate mergers and acquisitions. Because most of the mergers and acquisitions occurred in the form of cash payment, the method of stock exchange transactions between companies was relatively reduced. M\u0026A transactions injected a large amount of liquidity into the U.S. stock market. Leveraged buyouts initiated by capital operation companies and share repurchases initiated by listed companies have reduced the supply of stocks, which has changed the relationship between supply and demand to a certain extent.

It seems that there are not many Apple stocks in Andy's hands now, but once he throws them down, the water will immediately become muddy, and it will smell bloody. Andy's profits might be even more.

Of course, if it really caused abnormal fluctuations in Apple's stock price, God Qiao would naturally intervene, and Andy's information would appear on his desk immediately.

The purpose of greeting Andy and Jobs is also completed.

Andy stared at the U.S. stock market and Apple's stock price for more than two hours. It was a bit boring and boring. The red, green and green numbers jumped, and the ups and downs of various K-lines made him a little dizzy, but he was relieved that Well, those financial books are not in vain, at least he can now look at the data from a professional perspective, although he still can't analyze anything.

Standing up from the boss's chair, he stretched a lot, and there was a sound from his bones, he picked up the coffee on the table and drank it down, took his suit from the clothes rack, put it on, walked to the French window, Looking at the endless stream of pedestrians on the road outside.

"I really want to eat hot pot..."

Andy felt the hunger in his belly, and he didn't know what to think, and suddenly murmured in a low voice.

If you want to eat, you can do it, and it’s not that you can’t eat it. The Tianchao restaurant in New York’s Chinatown has a variety of cuisines. Naturally, there is no shortage of Sichuan cuisine hot pot. The beef and mutton of Meidi is so cheap, it is definitely very comfortable and enjoyable to eat , tsk tsk, the fiery red chili, the boiling old soup, if you want to dip it in peanut sauce, you can dip it in sesame sauce, and there is chive flower sauce, it is best to have a piece of fermented bean curd. . .

Thinking about it, the saliva is a little uncontrollable. Andy also knows how to eat hot pot. Few people try it in the United States. The main reason is that they have never eaten it. Once they eat it, they will love it. of life and death.

Of course, some ingredients are not accepted by American people. It is said that foreigners do not eat animal offal! That's basically nonsense, Europeans eat it, and what they eat is sausage made from crushed large intestines with a strong smell. . . vomit!

Saying that foreigners don’t eat animal offal is basically talking about the people of the United States. This also has its historical reasons. First, since the immigration of the United States, there has been no famine or food shortage. Food is abundant and you can choose Best to fill the stomach. Second, and what Andy thinks is the most important point, food made from animal scraps is closely related to slave culture. . .

I found a Sichuan restaurant in Chinatown. Under the weird eyes of most Chinese, Andy ordered hot pot in Chinese dialect, and this mother ordered tripe and other ingredients.

Andy took off his suit, untied his tie, rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, watched the old soup in the copper pot over charcoal fire, and started the gluttonous journey.

Sweating profusely, the shirt was soaked in sweat very quickly, and Andy was sweating profusely, but he didn't care, and Joseph and Kenny on the side saw black lines on his head.

After eating for a while, I have to go home to take a shower and change my clothes. Hey, if this is in the Celestial Dynasty, after eating hot pot, after a little digestion, I would take a bath, then squeeze my feet, eat some green radish, drink some tea, and sleep for a while. Sleep. . . Tsk tsk, gods don't change!

Andy was feasting, and Bardstone led his staff to eat pizza and drink Coke. The big boss treats them, which is naturally the favorite combination of pizza and Coke for the American people in his heart. . .

In the Apple building, Cook was holding a folder in his hand. He walked quickly to Jobs' office. He passed by the employees who greeted him. He just nodded slightly, came outside Jobs' office, and talked to the secretary. After adjusting his breathing, he supported the Toggins glasses with his fingers, and pushed the door open.

As Jobs' most capable and most valued subordinate, Cook and Jobs' friendship naturally needless to say, as soon as they entered the door, they said directly: "Steve, they have started to act!"

Jobs put down the pen in his hand, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, he raised his chin a little arrogantly, motioned for Cook to sit down and said.

"As soon as the market opened this morning, a large number of stocks were sold off, but at the beginning, the number was small and was eaten up by some hot money. However, after 10:30, the transaction volume began to increase, and the turnover rate also increased. It started to rise, and the stock price was suppressed consciously, and within ten minutes, when the hot money had no strength to take the order, the group of vampires began to sell and suppress the stock price, and now it has fallen by five percentage points."

While Cook was explaining, he opened the file bag, took out some data from it and handed it to Jobs.

The expression on Jobs's face did not change at all, he still wore a smile, but this kind of smile looked very uncomfortable to outsiders, it was a kind of arrogance brought out in his bones, but, in Joe's unconfessed God In the past, he was indeed not very popular with the public. Moreover, he had more enemies than friends, and it was not once or twice for Jobs to betray his friends. This is also where he was criticized.

Of course, the blemishes of Jobs who stepped into the altar will naturally be deliberately forgotten by people. Especially his death, fruit fans have been sad for a long time.

A person who has changed the world is indeed worthy of everyone's respect. After all, no one is perfect. Perhaps these black histories are part of his legend.
