Chapter 50 Stock Manipulation
No matter what, the Avengers will soon kick off, and interesting things will begin. Similarly, the Infinity Stones are also close.
Although Link has joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and is still a level six agent, he is still considered a peripheral member and cannot enter the core at all. He shows his strength in the hope of joining the Avengers in the future.
It's not bad that SHIELD doesn't go deep into the core. After all, SHIELD is still Snake Shield, it's just something that you can't tell clearly.
There is no need for him to enter the core and wade through the muddy waters, he can just wait for the beginning.
In this way, time entered 2008, and Fisker's nursing home opened. It was well built and had complete facilities.
The lonely elderly people in Hell's Kitchen also signed a contract and moved in. Their meager pensions belong to the nursing home. They have no money themselves, but the nursing home will be responsible for everything.
All the property rights and lease contracts they owned were transferred to United Construction Company, so Fisker controlled more land and property rights.
The first batch of low-rent apartments have also been put into use and exchanges have begun, and the construction of the first office building has begun early, and everything is moving in the right direction.
This is a charity matter, and in terms of making money, the dock controlled by Fisker is on the right track, which has really solved a large number of employment problems. In addition, the red light district project has also begun to proceed.
Each gang has its own responsibility here, which will be their main income. For this reason, the security of Hell's Kitchen has suddenly improved a lot.
After all, only when it is safe will people come to play, and there are many kinds of things. The girls here come from all over the world, which is dazzling.
Nightclubs, disco bars, and clubs all have their own characteristics, and even a large casino has been opened here, which has really attracted a group of people to Hell's Kitchen.
Every night, gang members and police would patrol, which made Matthew Murdoch very depressed. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Fisk cut off the landing channels for drugs and people, which made the gangs outside Hell's Kitchen look for new docks. For a time, there was a shortage of supplies, and Fisk took action to dig out the addicts in Hell's Kitchen and send them to drug rehabilitation centers.
To this end, Vanessa launched a charity auction and selected works by a lesser-known painter, but his paintings were quite good.
Link was also among those invited. He attended with Jessica, spent 20,000 US dollars on a painting, and hung it in the guest room.
This auction was very successful. After all, the banner was to help those addicts, but in fact it was to clean them out of Hell's Kitchen. It would be difficult to come back.
However, if they can detoxify, they may not be able to gain a new life, but this is too difficult, and everyone knows it is difficult.
Vanessa shines at the auction, and she gets what she wants, but this is just the beginning, and she will frequently visit New York's upper class.
…
The Apex Award was held as scheduled, and Link paid attention. Stark Industries was discussing the procurement of Jericho missiles with the military at this time, and Stark Industries' stock rose again.
Link took this opportunity to sell all the stocks in his hands and then turned around and bought shares of Hammer Industries.
At this time, Hammer Industries' stock price dropped slightly, and Link took action without hesitation. At this time, his 1.1 billion US dollars had become nearly 1.2 billion. Dividends are given to charity funds!
When he completed the operation, the news of Tony Stark's disappearance finally came back. Stark Industries' stock suddenly fell by about 3%, while Hammer Industries' stock began to rise.
Coulson called Link and asked him to snoop for some information from the upper echelons of New York to see if he could gain anything. Then there was no other action.
In fact, this is a bit strange. SHIELD should have been keeping an eye on Tony Stark. Didn't SHIELD take action when he was kidnapped?
Perhaps SHIELD didn't expect that Stark would be kidnapped under the protection of the military. After all, it sounded like a joke. Taking Stark away in the hands of the US military would be a big deal. Most people don't believe it.
As time goes by, Stark disappears for longer and longer, and the blow to Stark Industries is naturally the biggest. However, because Stark Industries has too many profitable projects, the stock does not fall much.
Link also analyzed that Obadiah Stane, as the mastermind behind the scenes, could not have allowed Stark Industries' stock price to plummet without making preparations.
However, Hammer Industries benefited. As time went by, Justin Hammer hinted that Stark was dead on various occasions. Hammer Industries' stock price rose significantly, and Link made a lot of money. One stroke.
In this way, after Stark disappeared for more than two months, Link began to slowly sell Hammer Industries stocks, and his funds reached 1.3 billion US dollars.
By buying low and selling high, Link made more than $100 million through two operations, most of which were profits brought about by the appreciation of Hammer Industrial's stock.
Fortunately, Link has also passed the tax filing season. He can patiently wait for Stark's return and announce the closure of the weapons department.
The market value of Stark Industries is US$200 billion, which has plummeted by more than 55% to less than US$100 billion. Link is ready to short Stark Industries and make a good profit.
He directly used ten times financial leverage, and then borrowed more than 10 billion U.S. dollars worth of Stark Industries stocks from various financial institutions for a period of one month.
By the time this was done, it had been three months since Stark had disappeared, and Link had also waited for the news of Stark's rescue, and the stock price began to rise. Link was still holding the stock at this time, and until the day before Stark's return, he Then he took action and sold all the stocks at once.
But it did not affect the stock price. Countless people rushed to buy it. If Tony Stark came back and did not announce the closure of the weapons department, then Link would go bankrupt.
But he is not afraid. The worst he can do is go to Africa, capture Ulysses Klaue, steal his vibranium, and then sell him to Wakanda.
…
Stark is back, and after getting off the plane, he will hold a press conference.
Link was in the foundation's office, watching the press conference on the TV. Jessica was sitting next to him. She didn't know about Link's financial operations.
Jessica took a sip from the wine glass and asked, "Why do you pay attention to him?"
"Of course we have to pay attention to him. The development of our foundation depends on him." Link said with a smile, and then continued to stare at the TV.
Jessica stopped talking. She found that her boyfriend was paying extra attention today.
