Chapter 210 Let’s get started
When Su Cheng and others got off the plane, due to the time difference, although 22 hours had passed, the time here was actually only 8 o’clock in the evening on the 25th.
So, after checking into the hotel, everyone had a casual dinner together, and then went back to the hotel room to rest.
The next morning, September 26, New York time, Su Cheng immediately led Zhang Qizheng and others to the New York Stock Exchange.
No rest, just start working!
According to Xiao Ai's judgment, on September 27th, tomorrow, the stocks of several listed companies will start to rise sharply.
Although, because Sioux City purchased 170 million barrels of crude oil, there were early signs of the energy crisis, leading to early changes in the stock market.
But according to Xiao Ai, small trends can be changed, but big trends are irreversible. In the dark, many things and trends will not change too much because of the appearance of Su Cheng.
So, the stock market will not change the general trend because of these things.
Because tomorrow, something will happen that will briefly make the stock market boil.
On the afternoon of September 27, 1978, seven energy giants including Exxon Mobil, Schlumberger, Amos, Atlantic Richfield, Mobil Oil, Texaco, and Golf Oil jointly announced that in An oil field with oil reserves of up to 3 billion tons was discovered in Prudhoe Bay on the north slope of Alaska.
Seven energy companies jointly announced that this oil field will be jointly developed by a joint venture company, and the proceeds will be distributed according to the shareholding.
This directly caused the stock prices of these seven energy companies to rise for three days in a row. It was not until the afternoon of the 29th that they gradually fell back.
Affected by the reduced supply of Persian oil, all news related to oil is very sensitive now.
So, when stock investors heard the good news, they immediately started to behave very crazily.
Today morning to noon tomorrow is the best time to enter.
When the news comes out in the afternoon, it will be too late to enter the market.
By that time, it will be time for Leek investors to play their part.
The New York trading market is already very familiar to Su Cheng and others.
In the past few years, Su Cheng took Zhang Qizheng and others to visit several times secretly.
So this time, he still arrived at a box in the exchange very skillfully. This was the box that Zhang Qizheng had booked in advance.
“Today, everyone’s task is very simple. There are 15 of you on site. Except for Mr. Zhang, all of you will form a team of two. Mr. Zhang will arrange for ExxonMobil and Schlumberger respectively. Seven companies, including Xie Company, Amos Company, Atlantic Richfield Company, Mobil Oil Company, Texaco Company, and Golf Oil Company, will absorb stocks.
Among them, Exxon Mobil Company will absorb US$50 million. , Schlumberger needs to absorb US$40 million, Amos needs US$30 million, and the remaining four companies must reach US$20 million. I will give you one and a half days, that is, until the stock market lunch break tomorrow morning. Stop the acquisition mission. The mission is very difficult, but I believe you can do it!”
Su Cheng directly assigned the task without saying anything else!
These 7 energy companies are all very impressive listed companies in this era. Among them, ExxonMobil has a total market value of more than 23 billion US dollars, and Schlumberger also exceeds 15 billion US dollars. , Amos Company has a market value of US$13 billion, and the lowest value of other energy companies exceeds US$5 billion.
Sioux City only invested tens of millions of dollars in each company, which is not very large. It only accounts for less than 1% of the stock. It is like throwing a stone into a pond, which only makes a little splash. It has no impact on the overall stock market. It has little impact at all.
"Don't worry, boss, I will make arrangements." Zhang Qizheng nodded.
In terms of funds, Sioux City had already made arrangements to convert 100 million pounds into U.S. dollars. According to the exchange rate of 1:2.08 U.S. dollars in pounds, Sioux City directly exchanged 208 million U.S. dollars. Although he could have misappropriated more funds from the payment of goods, it was not necessary.
Because Sioux City did not bring in too many funds at once in the stock market.
Su Cheng still understands the principle that a big tree attracts the wind.
If the bankers in Beautiful Country notice it and join forces to do it, Su City will not only make money, but whether the principal can be recovered is one thing.
In short, there is nothing wrong with keeping a low profile. Su Cheng is not the kind of person who is eager for success.
"Well, Uncle Zhang, I'll leave it to you." Su Cheng patted Zhang Qizheng on the shoulder and said with a smile.
After saying that, he walked to the sofa aside, picked up today's latest newspaper and read it.
Obviously, the situation in Persia has attracted the attention of media from all over the world. The headline that Suzhou saw in the newspaper was yesterday's news in Persia.
“There was a fierce conflict between the Persian Shiite Muslim Revolutionary Team and the Pahlavi Dynasty army in the southern Persian city of Bandar Abbas, resulting in the death of many people. The Pahlavi Dynasty navy has arrived near Bandar Abbas… ..." From the news, we can see how fierce the dispute between the two factions is.
Such news naturally makes investors worry about whether a second oil crisis will occur.
It doesn’t matter if an oil crisis occurs. The most worrying thing is that it will affect the stock market, which will naturally affect them.
An hour later, Su Cheng asked Zhang Qizheng about the results.
"The task is easier than expected, because there have been too many negative news in Persia recently, and investors are very worried, so many investors in the stock market choose to sell stocks directly at the right price. I just made statistics, and every day The stocks of each company have already attracted more than 10% of the set target, and the stock of Amos Company has achieved 21% of the target," Zhang Qizheng replied with a smile.
The market value of these listed companies are all super enterprises with a scale of several billion to more than 20 billion. It really doesn’t feel good to invest millions of dollars in one hour.
"Be careful, don't let some people discover our actions. It's best to complete the task today." Su Cheng said directly.
Because Su City knows that by tomorrow morning, even if the news has not been sent out, the executives of these energy companies will secretly spread the news to their relatives and friends. In this way, not only It was Sioux City who was buying.
So, better get it done today.
"Okay, I'll try my best!" Zhang Qizheng nodded.
Su Cheng walked out of the box and walked to the hall of the exchange.
At this time, many investors gathered in the hall. They were either paying attention to the changes in the stocks they held, or they were discussing with others which ones should be sold and which ones should be bought.
Looking at the scene, Su City had to sigh, it is worthy of being the number one financial city in the world.
Although Xiangjiang has become one of the world's three major financial centers since the 1970s, there is still a gap compared with New York.
