Chapter 308 Be a short seller of Kodak Company Chapter 309 I have to call you ugly after kidnapping (1/8)
What's the good thing? It's mysterious." I was woken up by Liver. This guy was so powerful that he pinched me so much that he felt extremely painful.
Although Steinberg was also full of curiosity, he held Livermore from behind: "Livermore, you have something to say first, the boss still has to make a movie."
"Yes, I haven't finished filming the movie yet." I smacked my lips.
Livermore squinted his eyes and looked around, and smiled and said, "Boss, the movie can be filmed every day. I can't finish filming today and still shoot tomorrow, but once this kind of thing is over today, you will never be able to see it."
This guy said it very mysteriously, which aroused my appetite, Stendburg and others.
"Stenborg, there are some broken shots below anyway. You look at the filming of the storyboard script, and I will go back." I was really itchy in my heart. Today's main scene was almost done, so I decided to follow Livermore to see what this guy is doing.
"But, I want to go and have a look, too." Stenborough said pitifully.
"Now you are the only assistant director left. If you follow me, who will take care of it here?" I pointed to the set. Seeing that Stenberg was really unable to clone, he had to lower his head.
Livermore laughed and said to Stenborough: "Don't worry, we will tell you what we'll tell you when we come back."
Stenberg glanced at Livermore, but ignored him. He picked up the microphone on the chair and continued filming.
"Let's go, you still have nothing good to show me, then you're dead." I put on my coat and walked towards Livermore's car.
After leaving Harvey Street, the car drove straight towards Los Angeles.
"Livermore. What's the matter with you kid? Can you tell me now?" I lay in the seat behind the car, laughing while blowing the wind.
Livermore turned around while driving in front and said, "What else can I do? Isn't it just stocks."
There was a hint of pride in the tone of voice.
"Livermore, have you made money on the stock exchange?" Holgina had already guessed.
Livermore nodded with a smile.
"I think it's something, I just make money. I don't have to worry about doing things, you guys, you need to get me over." I shook my head repeatedly.
Livermore immediately became anxious when he heard this and said to me at the top of his voice: "Boss. This time it's not just about making money. This time I'm avenging our DreamWorks."
"Avenge a revenge on our DreamWorks?! What does it mean?" I was a little confused.
Livermore smiled: "I have been tired of being on the stock exchange for this period and have never left. Boss, do you know what I'm doing when I stay there?"
"Just study stocks, so many stocks are enough for you to study." Holkina took over and said.
Livermore nodded and shook his head: "Holkina is right, I am studying stocks. But for so many days, I have only studied one stock."
"It took so many days to study only one stock?! You kid is so calm. Is that stock so honorable to be favored by you?" I lit a cigarette and took a pleasant breath and said.
Livermore shook his head: "Our DreamWorks is an enemy, Kodak's stock."
"Kodak's stock?! You mean you were short on their stocks?!" Hearing this, I felt energetic and straightened up.
Kodak is now a fish bone in my throat. Since DreamWorks and Kodak are not in the same field and there is no competition, so there is no other way to deal with each other than to attack each other. Naturally, I will not put bombs on them like Sardinia Eastman did to deal with me. So in this way, although I have a lot of resentment towards Kodak, I was just holding it in my stomach. This time, Livermore said that he played Kodak on stocks, and I was naturally very happy.
"Boss, how do you know I'm a short seller?!" Livermore turned his face and looked at me in surprise.
"Concentrate on driving your car, don't turn your head all the time!" I smiled, and then said in a deep voice: "You guy's best skill is short selling, I don't know you yet."
Livermore grinned embarrassedly and nodded: "Boss, you don't know. I've been staring at me so badly during this period. Finally, I succeeded."
"You can do the short sellers in Kodak, too, I'm convinced you." I appreciate Livermore.
Kodak has huge capital. So it is not easy to sell Kodak's stocks like other companies that have soared and plummeted.
Livermore became more and more proud after hearing my praise: "Boss, if you want to be short, you should do those big companies. This is my experience and I am used to it."
Holkina interjected: "Mr. Livermore, tell me how you did it?"
Livermore shrugged his shoulders and said slowly: "Actually, the money my boss gave me was not directly invested in the stock exchange at the beginning, but instead took out part of the money to build my own intelligence system. I now have thirty or forty spies under my command. Their job is to inquire about the operating conditions of various companies. With such an intelligence system, we can know our opponents and be close to us. Otherwise, you will be able to do nothing."
After hearing Livermore's words, I nodded. I didn't expect that Livermore, who usually looks loose, would be very flawless when doing things. Although I don't know much about stocks, I know that all the masters who play the stock market know the situation of each company well. Only in this way can they determine whether they buy or sell based on the operating conditions of each company.
Livermore became more and more excited as he spoke, and said happily: "After thinking about following the track for a few days, I was very interested in several stocks. I felt that these stocks were likely to be able to do something, so I sent all my eyeliners to keep an eye on these stocks, and then lined them up one by one, and finally set my sights on Kodak. In September this year, Kodak spent 30 million US dollars in Berlin, Germany to establish a film production base. After the establishment of this large production base, Kodak's stock had the only surge in the past, which doubled, but I felt something was wrong."
"What can this be wrong? Kodak's company has a strong capital, and it is rare to make a lot of money from 30 million yuan. After the establishment of this film production base, Kodak's film production capacity in Europe has been greatly enhanced. Now European films are booming, and they have a good source of customers.
It is good for good, so the stock will naturally rise. "For Kodak, so the stock will naturally rise." For Kodak, so the stock will naturally rise." For Kodak, so the stock will naturally rise. "For Kodak, so the stock will naturally rise." For Kodak, so the stock will naturally rise." For Kodak, so the stock will naturally rise. "For Kodak, so the stock will naturally rise." For Kodak, so the stock will naturally rise." For Kodak, so the leading company in the film industry, people have money, and doing a good job in public relations has won the favor of many countries in Europe. This time, even a conservative country like Germany can allow them to build such a large film production base in their own country, so you can know how strong Kodak's ability to public relations is.
Livermore smiled cunningly: "Boss, you're right at all. This is the thinking of ordinary people. They think that Kodak's stock will definitely go up a step forward. Kodak's company's strength is so strong that there will be no problem at all. But in my opinion, Kodak's stock has not always risen much, but this time it jumps so high, which is a bit abnormal factor. Based on my years of experience, Kodak's situation is indeed the best choice for short selling, so I sent all my eyeliners to inquire about the situation of the large film production base established by Kodak in Germany. As a result, I really got some situation."
Livermore laughed.
"Is there something wrong with Kodak's production base?" Holkina said curiously.
Livermore replied: "I really don't know if I don't investigate. I was shocked when I investigated. Boss, the situation at this production base is so complicated that it makes me dizzy."
"Isn't it just a production base? How complicated can it be?" I don't care at all.
Livermore shook his head and said in a deep voice: "First. When Kodak was invested and built, all local media reported that this was a cooperation project between Kodak and the German government, and their partner was Wufa Film Company, the leading German film company. This was a very safe cooperation in others' eyes, but the low was undercurrent. Although the German government agreed that Kodak would build the production base in Berlin, there were many people who opposed the land, and many of them were senior leaders of Wufa. For Wufa, they were a cartel monopoly company with national background established by General Rudolph, which almost monopolized all film production, shooting and other related aspects in Germany.
The field, holding the German film market firmly in its own hands, and Wufa also has its own film production company. Although it is not as good as Kodak, its benefits have always been good. Although the German government agreed to Kodak to establish a film production base in China with the goal of introducing foreign resources, it has damaged Wufa's interests to some extent. Therefore, from the beginning, Kodak's film production base has caused dissatisfaction with Wufa. Second, although Kodak claims to have invested 30 million US dollars in foreign countries, it is real | gold, as the project progresses. They found that the original budget of 30 million US dollars was not enough, and the entire project would not be completed without 50 million.
"You mean, Kodak has a funding gap of 2,000?!" I was so inspired. Such a thing will be bad news for any company.
Livermore smiled and said something even more shocking to me: "In fact, it's not just 20 million. Kodak has made a large-scale move into the world under the leadership of Sardinia Eastman this year, and has established six large film production bases this year. This is only the largest in Europe. In addition, in the UK, France and Italy, they have established film production bases. In addition, they have invested a lot in industry and are short of funds. So when they invested in Berlin, they said they invested $3,000 on the surface, but in fact they were just claiming to the public. In fact, they can afford to spend 10 million.
"Where do they come from the remaining money?!" Holkina's eyes widened.
"Jiebei, why don't big companies like to do this? When Kodak negotiated with the German government, he reached an agreement, and the remaining 20 million was lent to Kodak by the German government bank. But this was just a verbal agreement. But for some reason, the German government bank later refused to borrow money from Kodak, and they said there was also a shortage of funds within the bank."
"This is a total excuse." I smirked: "Although Germany's economy is not very prosperous now, 20 million is not a monster for government banks."
Livermore nodded: "The boss is right. I got the information. It was because the senior executives of the Umaha company did some tricks, which made the bank refuse to borrow money from Kodak."
"So, Kodak has a gap of 4,000 in this production base. Now it's enough for them to drink a pot." I murmured to myself.
Holkina shook her head beside her and said, "I don't think so, at worst, it's just not to stop working or construction."
Livermore grinned: "They wanted to stop work, but they couldn't stop at all. First, this is the project that Kodak had worked hard and finally reached an agreement with the German government. It was originally opposed by the senior management of the Ufa Company. If the construction was stopped this time, there might not be such an opportunity in the future and offend the German government. Second, Kodak has invested tens of thousands of dollars and cannot recover the funds at all. If they stop construction, it means that the 10 million yuan they invested in was wasted. This is in vain.
"So, Sardinia Eastman is now in a difficult situation and must hold on with his teeth." I added.
Livermore nodded: "Yes, Sardinia Eastman has only two ways left. The first is to borrow money. This is the way to not do it when it is necessary. The interest rate in the bank is very high now. If you borrow 40 million, the interest rate alone is Ding. Eastman, who loves money like life, is not very good at using it."
"What about the remaining one?" Holkina asked.
Livermore pointed at the bridge of his nose: "Of course it's stock!"
"Stocks? I don't understand." Holkina knew nothing about stocks at all.
Livermore explained: "Kodak has made a loss move. They first publicized that their company had established the largest film production base in Europe, and it was jointly built with the German government, claiming that once this production base was completed and put into production, the benefits of Kodak would rise, and the prospects would be bright. In short, all the advantages were reported, which made many people become interested in their stocks. Kodak itself left a strong impression of capital, and this production base was jointly built with the German government.
Because he wouldn't have any problems at all. So a ▋
"People are buying their stocks frantically?" Holkina finally understood a little.
Livermore nodded with relief: "Yes, since the news of the investment and construction of this production base was announced, Kodak's stock has been rising."
"But what does this have to do with their funding gap?" Holkina asked.
Livermore smiled mysteriously: "It's very relevant. Although Kodak's stock has risen a lot, the increase is far from satisfying the leadership of Kodak, because the increase has not met their requirements at all. Their wishful thinking is to use the stock surge to collect idle funds in society. After collecting the funds, it suddenly plummeted, so that they can get a large amount of funds. In this way, the fund gap that has emerged has been filled? Therefore, the senior executives of Kodak's company came forward in person and secretly raised the stock price, causing Kodak's stock to rise rapidly, so that many people who don't know the truth will buy their stock."
"These poor people." Holkina sighed.
Livermore spread his hands and said, "This is the case with the stock market. Big fish eat small fish. Many Kodak companies have used this hand, which has blocked others but cannot fool me."
Livermore raised his eyebrows, and the muscles on his face shook.
"Mr. Livermore, then how did you do it?" Holkina asked.
After hearing this, I fully understood what happened. Then I laughed and said, "What else can he do? Just be a short seller!"
Livermore smiled and said, "This is my old local business. I have encountered such a good opportunity and spent so much effort. How could I let it go? Two weeks ago, when I was at the highest level of Kodak's stock, I made a short position of 300 shares, and sold it at a price of $3.5 per share."
"What does it mean?" Holkina was a little confused.
I explained: "That is to say, this guy originally had no shares, but he traded with the stock exchange, mortgaged 400,000 yuan, and obtained 3 million shares of Kodak's short stock, which is equivalent to borrowing 300 shares of Kodak's stock. After success, he sold the 300 shares of Kodak's stock at a high price of 3.5 yuan. He also had 10.5 million US dollars. After Kodak's stock plummeted, he bought 300 shares at a low price and returned it. The difference between them was what he earned."
Under my explanation, Holkina finally understood.
"Mr. Livermore, how much did you make this time?" Holkina asked baba.
Livermore laughed: "Today is the deadline for the place where I am on the stock exchange. That is, the time when I have to pay back the shares. Kodak's stock began to plummet three days ago. It has fallen to $1.2 per share, so how much did I make?"
"Still $1.2?!" Holgina took it for a while and then began to whistle: forget it: "Sell $3.5, buy $1.2, one;: yuan, that's 690! Oh my God, Livermore, you made 690 in a row!?"
Holkina suddenly screamed, and amid his screams, Livermore and I both laughed.
"Yes, Kodak originally wanted to use this opportunity to fill in the fund gap. In fact, if it weren't for me, they could have collected 40 million just now, but after I tinkered with it, they still had at least 20 million in fund gap. "Livermore said with great joy.
"Mr. Livermore, haven't you only made 690? Why does Kodak still have a funding gap of 10,000?" Holgina didn't understand again.
Livermore blinked his eyes cunningly and said, "It's very simple. Because I have many friends in the stock market. When I saw me shorting 300 shares at once, they learned it. So in the end, Kodak lost 20 million.
"I know why I call him the short stock god?" I pointed at Livermore and said to Holkina with a smile.
Only then did Holkina understand the matter completely.
"Livermore, I don't understand at all." I looked at Livermore and said meaningfully.
"Boss, don't you understand why I only had $400,000 to 300 shares short positions?" Livermore is a very smart person, so he naturally knows what I think.
"Yes, 300 shares, 3.5 yuan per share, and the combined amount is more than 30 million US dollars in mortgage. How could the stock exchange agree to lend it to you?" I popped the cigarette butt out the window and said in a deep voice.
Livermore scratched his head embarrassedly, turned to me and said, "Boss, I still have to review this matter."
To be continued...
