Blackstone Code

Strictly speaking, no listed company can be 100% problem-free.

The purpose of a company going public is not to prove any great ideals and concepts to society. To put it bluntly, it is to take money out of the pockets of retail investors.

The stocks of listed companies are divided into two parts, one part of which belongs to shareholder shares. This part is held by large and small shareholders and will not be easily traded.

The other part is the circulating shares issued at the time of listing. These shares are held in passing accounts in the stock market and will be traded frequently. At the same time, these shares will also determine the final market price of the company's shares.

No matter what the capitalists and listed companies say and that buying stocks is an investment behavior, in the final analysis, they are actually trying to make people believe that they can make money by buying their stocks.

The more popular a stock is, the higher its price will be, the higher the market value of the company, and the higher the value of the stock in the hands of shareholders.

Therefore, most listed companies will choose to raise the company's stock price as the main means of making profits after going public, which is much faster than making actual money.

A listed company may have a net profit of only a few million after a year of hard work, but as long as they increase their stock price by just a little bit, 5% or 10%, the company's market value will increase more than the net profit of a year of hard work. profit.

This is also the main reason why funds in modern society prefer to flow to finance. Investors can harvest a large amount of wealth by avoiding long-term operations, and of course they may be harvested.

So how to make a stock popular is actually very simple, with fraudulent financial reports, fraudulent sales, and appropriate hype.

For example, this year the company's market value has exceeded 100 million to 200 million, achieving a twofold increase. This kind of good news will directly affect the pass market.

After realizing it, investors began to collect selling orders and buying orders continued to appear, supplemented by other means, such as inviting some experts to talk about the long-term development trend of stocks, and then looking for some brokerage companies to promote these stocks.

Eventually, these stocks begin to sell like hotcakes, and the price of the stocks may increase by 70 to 80%, or even more than 100%, to cater to some announcements made by listed companies.

Every listed company will do this kind of combination of methods that are on the edge of legality and illegality, blindly blowing good news to let investors help them realize their dream of getting rich.

Even if these companies do not use this method to boost the stock price, they will use some means to cover up the problem and avoid the stock price from falling. This is the reason why the Gafra Financial Index plummeted as soon as the market opened today.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer knows these listed companies too well, and so does the market, especially the big investors. They simply choose to give up instead of persisting.

For example, some heavy industries and some chemical companies will definitely face various environmental problems, but they have ways to cover up this bad news and ensure that there will be no problems with valuations.

In normal times, this kind of thing would not be a problem, it is just a public relations strategy, but the situation is different now. Everything will be put under a magnifying glass. Even a small problem that is not wrong is now a huge mistake.

Someone has become a typical example. The result of waiting for these six companies is nothing more than a plunge in stock prices, followed by large various fines and even restrictions on trading.

When a listed company encounters such a problem, the loss will not be as simple as physical pain, it will hurt deep into the soul!

In order to avoid becoming the next target of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, other companies now urgently need to make up for their image with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The simplest way is to buy back outstanding shares.

This is what the finance minister asked these working groups to do before, but they did not agree at the time.

It costs money to buy back shares, and buying back less is of no use at all.

If a company wants to make more money, the best way is to issue more stocks, such as those heavyweight stocks, at least tens of millions of shares are in circulation.

If they want to repurchase even 10%, they will have to spend millions or even tens of millions in cash, which will have a great impact on the company's operations. This is why they did not agree to the chancellor's stock repurchase in the first place. One of the main reasons.

But now, they compromised.

"If a person has no escape route, he will be more terrifying than a ferocious lion!" After the Prime Minister learned the news, he said with some emotion.

There were other people in the room, and now that the Prime Minister's business was improving and he had a large business, it would be easy to find enough people to work for him.

The others said nothing, but looked like they were pondering this sentence over and over again.

After he finished speaking, he did not continue. He just thought quietly for a while, and then laughed, "A very capable person, but we will not just admit defeat."

As he spoke, he looked at a young man in the first row on the left on the other side of the table. He said he was a young man, but he was actually in his thirties. This was his eldest son.

"First arrest all the officials from the Finance Department who were named. I have informed the Ministry of Internal Affairs that they will temporarily move a floor for you to use. I need exact confessions..."

Considering that his son did not seem to have done anything similar, the Prime Minister further asked, "I want them to explain how they accepted bribes, how they used their official power to commit crimes, who their superiors were, and their interests. How is it transported, do you understand?"

The Prime Minister stared closely at his son, who nodded solemnly, "I know how to do it!"

The prime minister's family has been waiting for so many years and finally has such a good opportunity. All the elites in the family surround him and serve him. This is why a great noble will always be a great noble.

As long as there is someone who can stand out, the power they display is far greater than that of ordinary people who have no background. There is no possibility for ordinary people to defeat the great nobles, at least this possibility is almost non-existent.

He looked at the second person, who was one of his nephews. He was in his forties. He looked a bit ordinary and... docile, but the Prime Minister knew that he was a ruthless person.

"The shareholders of Yuanrong Capital have been arrested now. I have negotiated with the Police Headquarters. They will give you seventy-two hours. You have to let those people speak within these seventy-two hours."

"I want to know the purpose of their coming to Gafra, the specific division of labor between them and that Richard, the specific plan, and how they used bribery to get the company to get the business license and go public."

His nephew bowed slightly, "Don't worry, I will make them tell the truth in just one day."

The Prime Minister believed this, but he still said a few words, "Don't kill people, and I want them to plead guilty while they are conscious."

One plan after another, one measure after another, was conveyed in an orderly manner. The prime minister's seemingly calm heart was already turbulent at this time. This was the closest opportunity he had to power, and he would not let this opportunity slip away from his hands.

When all the tasks were handed over, he patted the armrest and stood up.

His eldest son immediately fetched him a coat and helped him put it on, while the others stood beside him.

After putting on his clothes skillfully, he raised his head and asked his son to adjust the collar for him.

Nobles are very particular about the details of their collars, and they regard this particularity as a way to distinguish each other's class.

"Father, do you want to go out?", his eldest son asked while adjusting the collars.

"Me?" The Prime Minister squeezed out a "hmm" sound in his nasal cavity, "I'm going to visit Lynch and talk to him by the way."

"His several actions have inspired me a lot, and you and we have the same goal, maybe we can cooperate." He looked at his son and took a step away. Knowing that it was sorted out, he took it casually. He picked up his hat and put it on his head, "Don't underestimate anyone, even if it's just a groom."

"Groomman" is an allusion to Gaevra. This groom was once just a knight's retinue, taking care of the knight's horses.

The knight was injured in a war, but at the same time their lord was about to face a life-or-death war. The groom finally decided to go on the battlefield in the knight's place. Even if he died in the battle, he would not let the lord vent his anger on the family.

What was unexpected was that the groom performed exceptionally well on the battlefield and helped the lord achieve the final victory.

When the lord discussed the merits and awarded the reward, he discovered that his knight was not a knight, but a groom.

But instead of being angry, he knighted the groom.

Of course, the knight died later. In a duel about "who can sleep with the countess," he won the duel but lost to the count...

The Prime Minister just wanted to use this allusion to tell his children that although Lynch was a foreigner and only a minor nobleman, he could not be underestimated because of this.

After watching the Prime Minister leave, others began to do their own things.

At a little after eleven o'clock, the Prime Minister's car parked outside the residence where Lynch now lives.

"I hope I came at the right time!", the two met. The Prime Minister showed a warm smile, took the initiative to shake hands with Lynch, and did not let go for more than ten seconds.

Lynch also responded enthusiastically, "I've been thinking about when to visit you, but I'm just afraid that you won't have time."

"So it looks like I'm just in time?" This is an affirmative sentence in the form of a rhetorical question.

After the servant beside Lynch helped the Prime Minister take off his coat, he respectfully escorted the two of them into the living room.

The Prime Minister looked at the decoration here and made no comments. In his eyes, he saw nothing but shabbyness, even though this house was actually not cheap.

After the two sat down, the Prime Minister said, "I have always heard people say that you are the most outstanding young man in the Federation, especially your economic insights are deeper than some experts and scholars who study these things."

"What do you think about the problems we are experiencing right now?"
