Chapter 51 Shareholding
Tony Stark did not let down Link’s hope. He publicly announced the closure of Stark Industries’ weapons department. Obadiah Stane was shocked and hurriedly took remedial measures. But this doesn't help.
The stock market reacted the fastest. Someone immediately started selling Stark Industries shares, and Jessica was also shocked.
Their foundation relied on Stark Industries stock dividends to run. She immediately turned to look at Link, who actually looked happy.
"Honey, our stocks..." Jessica asked immediately.
"Don't worry, I've sold it a long time ago, and I'm shorting Stark Industries stock. I'm sure I've made a lot of money this time. It's worth celebrating. You call Trish and I'll have dinner with you tonight." Link stood up a little He rubbed his hands excitedly.
He doesn't care about money. This is a small achievement for him. Although he has the advantage of foresight, he does all the operations.
From now on, he no longer needs to pay attention to money issues. He directly holds shares of Stark Industries. This time he has made a lot of money. He may become a shareholder and join the board of directors.
Jessica was stunned when she heard it and asked: "How did you think of it?"
"This is a secret, so don't ask. Let's think about where to go for dinner at night, and then wait for Stark Industries' stock to fall!" Link didn't say it out loud, after all, it was hard to explain.
Jessica nodded, then took out her mobile phone and called Trish.
…
Link never received a call from Coulson, but that's right. After all, Stark lives in Los Angeles, Stark Industries is over there, and his Stark Tower hasn't been completed yet!
Normally, Tony Stark is not here in New York at all. It is better not to use him. Link watches Stark Industries' stock falling continuously. He is ready to close the position at any time and return the stock to the financial institution. This is the routine of short selling. operate.
Sell high and buy low, and the difference in price is his profit. He has previously sold stocks worth more than 1.4 billion U.S. dollars, and can earn more than half of the profit.
Just by paying a large amount of interest, his total assets can reach more than 10 billion. He bought Stark Industries stocks at the lowest point, but he only bought 10% of the shares.
If you hold 5% of the shares of a listed company, you must disclose the information of shareholders. Link does not have a profession, but he has a charity fund, so he must disclose the information of the charity fund.
After Link completed all the operations, Coulson also called, "Lin, you really surprised me, you actually became a shareholder of Stark Industries?"
"It's not me, it's my charity fund." Link corrected: "What's wrong?"
"Can you come to Los Angeles?" Coulson asked: "I need you here."
"Okay, I can go there. After all, Stany is going to hold a board meeting, and Jessica will be attending." Link was about to go.
Stark Industries suddenly lost more than 100 billion in market value. Link's acquisition was at its lowest point. It only cost nearly 9 billion, which happened to reach a 10% shareholding ratio.
However, the shares are held in the name of a charitable foundation, so Jessica, as the head of the foundation, must attend the board of directors.
The two had already booked their flights, and Link expected Coulson to look for him.
…
In Los Angeles, after Link and Jessica checked into the hotel, Jessica was a little nervous and asked: "Lin, what should I do when I attend?"
"Putting the interests of the Foundation first, you said that the operation of the Foundation will depend on the profits of Stark Industries in the future." Link said: "You can support Stanny temporarily." "Temporarily?" Jessica didn't Very understandable.
"Yes, for the time being, you don't have to worry about other things. This is their internal struggle for power. It has nothing to do with us. They will decide the winner. Anyway, it's just a matter of voting." Link comforted her and said, "There's something wrong. Let’s talk about it when I get back.”
"Okay, I'll try my best." Jessica took a deep breath to cheer herself up.
The two rested early. The next day, Jessica took the hotel car to Stark Industries headquarters, while Link went to meet Coulson.
"Hey, long time no see." Link shook hands with Coulson, "What do you want from me?"
"Stark escaped on his own, and we are very interested in how he escaped," Coulson said.
Link raised his eyebrows and asked, "Haven't you always been paying attention to Stark?"
"That's how I was recruited. Why didn't you do anything after he was kidnapped?"
Colson said helplessly: "We didn't expect it. After all, he was going to a US military base. Who knew he would be kidnapped?"
"We will not dare to conduct a large-scale search later, as it may easily cause misunderstandings at that time."
When Link heard this, it was indeed what he thought. He said: "There is a problem with this matter. It is escorted by the army. Without accurate intelligence, it is impossible to succeed."
"I have been operating the stock of Stark Industries recently, and I found that after Stark disappeared, the stock did not fall significantly, which is very abnormal."
"Unless you know it in advance and make a plan, it won't be like this."
Coulson understood immediately and asked, "Do you suspect there is a problem within Stark Industries?"
"I think it's Stany, otherwise others can't stabilize the stock price." Link said: "And if something happens to Stark, he is the one who will benefit the most, and he is also the only one who can know Stark's itinerary. people."
"You are right, this matter needs to be reported to the director." Coulson immediately took out the phone and called Nick Fury. The two talked for a long time on the phone, and Link walked away On the side, he lit a cigarette and smoked it.
His idea is very simple. On the one hand, he should reflect his own value, and on the other hand, he should try to avoid fighting. After all, Iron Overlord's armor is too thick, and his pistol will not work, but a sniper rifle will work.
This has to wait until the opponent opens the armor. If possible, avoid fighting by yourself as much as possible. Link has always held this idea.
Coulson hung up the phone, then came to Link and said, "In this case, the director will let you be responsible for investigating Stannie, and I will continue to approach Stark."
"Okay, I will do it as soon as possible." Link nodded, "But I may need some equipment. Is there a branch here?"
"Yes, I'll take you there first." Coulson waved to Link to get in the car.
The two quickly arrived at the Los Angeles branch, which was also in the same building. S.H.I.E.L.D. was really wealthy, but it was also true that New York and Los Angeles, as international cities on the east and west coasts, had to establish a branch each.
