Chapter 238 TNK Stock
An unfinished building on West Street in Laredo.
Zhang Allen drove to the wasteland and parked the car. Zorro looked at the devastated buildings, which were in tatters and a little confused, "What are we doing here?"
Zhang Ailun did not answer Zorro, but looked at the unfinished building covered with weeds. It was a deserted place, more like a village in the city. There were some needles and cigarette butts on the ground. There was no doubt that this was a suitable place for transactions on weekdays.
Letting Zorro get out of the car, Zhang Ailun took out his cell phone and, based on the information provided by the daily intelligence, walked down the slope and came directly to a row of sewer pipes. He did not see any signs of people nearby, but he did see an abandoned sewage outlet patched with iron sheets.
I could vaguely hear shouting and banging sounds coming from inside.
Zorro was surprised and asked, "Is there someone buried alive in here?"
He gloated, "It's probably some old debtor who doesn't want to pay back his debts, or it may have offended someone it shouldn't have offended, and someone paid to buy its life. If I were you, I would definitely not meddle in other people's business."
"If I had done as you said, you would have died from excessive blood loss by now." Zhang Ailun snorted.
"You're right. I'm so lucky! Thank God." Zoro said thankfully.
"You might as well thank me instead of thanking God."
Zhang Ailun confirmed that this was the place and knocked on the iron sheet.
An excited voice came from inside, "Hey! Is there anyone outside? Sir! Please save me! I'm trapped inside."
"Hey man, I'm here to save you right now. Do you need me to call the police?"
"Call the police? No! Don't call the police!" The other party immediately panicked.
"Why?" Zhang Ailun said, "When you are in trouble, call 911. That's the right thing to do."
"In fact, it's because I offended a police officer that they hired someone to bury me alive and locked me up here! I'm a stockbroker at the stock exchange. I recommended a stock to a local client a while ago, but I didn't expect it to plummet by 40% in one day, and he directly lost more than US dollars. After that, he asked someone to use his connections to trick me into Laredo, and then let the local tyrants extort money from me and buried me alive here. Please help me! I beg you!" The stockbroker wanted to cry but had no tears.
"You offended the police?" Zhang Ailun said calmly, "That's terrible. I don't want to get involved. Let's go."
"No! Please save me! As long as you can get me away from here, I will give you a generous reward! You just need to send me to the airport in the central area! They must think I am dead now. As long as I leave this city, they will never retaliate against me again." The stockbroker begged.
"Ok, let me try it."
Zhang Ailun warmed up on the spot, stretched his body, and then kicked sideways. With a clang, the entire iron sheet instantly trembled and sank, and the screws were also torn off, with smoke billowing out.
Zorro looked at the iron sheet that was kicked away and gasped.
I thought to myself that if this person kicked me, I would probably break some ribs.
Really honest.
Zhang Ailun kicked it again, and the entire iron sheet broke, revealing a gap.
Take a deep breath and call it a day.
Zhang Allen waved his hand and directed Zorro to start working. "Go, move all these things away. So that our friends can get out."
"Okay, you're the boss, you have the final say." Zorro was completely convinced and willingly carried the stones and bricks.
The clutter was quickly cleared out, and a disheveled middle-aged white man with a bruised face, a dusty face, a tattered suit, and broken glasses walked out.
As soon as he came out, he knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, "Thank God!"
He looked at Zhang Ailun and Zorro beside him and said excitedly: "Thank you for saving me! Can you take me to the airport in the central area? I'm worried that they will come back and hurt me! As long as they can let me leave here, it will be great!"
"Get in the car." Zhang Ailun waved his hand. He also knew that they couldn't stay in this place for too long, so he turned around and took the other party back to the Highlander.
"You're a stockbroker? What kind of compensation are you going to give us?"
Zorro asked, "If it was just because you lost money on the stock, the police officer would at most beat you up and make you pay. You've already lost money, so why would they kill you?"
"In fact, there are some secrets that cannot be told. After I lost that money, those local tyrants still wanted me to recommend a few stocks to them, so that I could make money for them through secret operations. I originally thought that I would help them make some money first, and then let them sell those stocks. After they trust me, I will recommend a high-priced stock to them after I go back, and then directly crash the market to make them lose money and go bankrupt. I didn't expect that they tapped my phone and saw through my plan..."
The stockbroker said with a bitter face: "They beat me up and then threw me into the sewer. Fortunately, you passed by here and saved me."
"Well, you are not a good guy either. You even dare to take the gang's money." Zorro sneered, "You are used to a good life. You dare to use any crooked ideas. You dare to cheat them of their money. Aren't you afraid that they will shoot you? It's useless to talk about the law here. You must have enough strength."
"I just realized it now. This is simply a city of sin!" The stockbroker was terrified. "I just want to get out of here as soon as possible. I have a family."
"Okay, Family Man. You're safe in our car. Don't worry about anything else. I'll get you to the airport safely. All you have to do now is think about how to reward us."
Zhang Ailun started the Highlander, backed out of the garage and left the unfinished building, then stepped on the accelerator and drove off the street, heading towards the airport in the central area.
The stockbroker hesitated for a moment. "I have an exclusive insider tip. There is a stock that will skyrocket tomorrow. You can buy that stock and then just sit back and wait to make money. There is absolutely no risk! I guarantee it!"
"You just used stocks to trick those local tyrants, and now you want to use stocks to trick us." Zorro raised his eyebrows and said a little unhappy: "You really have no sincerity at all. I suggest you just put it back into the sewer and let it rot and stink!"
"Don't do that! What I said is true! This is exclusive information that I finally got. I wanted to make some money on my own, but I don't have much money, only $200,000. Now I don't even have that much."
The stockbroker said gloomily, "There are many private equity fund teams that are investing in that stock. They have agreed to enter the market when the market opens tomorrow and push up the stock price. The price will rise by at least 300 points in a short period of time! Once enough retail investors are attracted to enter the market, they will immediately dump the stock at a high point! They will then exit the market and make a fortune. As long as you grasp the timing accurately, even an idiot can make money from it!"
"What's the name of that stock?" Zorro was also surprised to see that he had a good reason. "Tink Mobile (TNK)'s stock will soar three times in half a trading day. Then it will plummet." The stockbroker said: "This is the insider information I received."
“The current share price of this stock is $, but it will fluctuate and fall to around $. You can wait to enter the market at today’s price. Just hold on to it and ignore it. When it officially opens tomorrow, it will go up like crazy, up to $39! But you can sell it gradually at around $ and let others take over. This way you can exit the market safely. It will be too late if you are late. Because the stock price will instantly plummet when it reaches the peak of $39! By then, you won’t be able to sell it.”
The stockbroker said earnestly, "I'm absolutely not lying! If I didn't have no start-up capital now, I would definitely invest everything I have!"
"How can you be sure that our funds will not be trapped? If there is additional large capital entering the market, those private equity funds will definitely notice it," asked Zhang Ailun.
Although he didn't know much about stock operations and had seen some people making money from it, but in the final analysis, this thing was used to squeeze leeks, and it harvested the funds of retail investors and middle-class families.
The essence of finance is to make money from the poor, split the money among the middle class 70% to 30%, and return the money to the rich in full.
"So, it's best not to operate more than $100 million in the same account," the stockbroker said. "It's not allowed even in the same region. This will only add unnecessary market risks. Even I, who received inside information, can only take a ride and have a taste of the soup. I dare not compete with the capital for the meat. You'd better not think about dividing the cake. The way to survive in the stock market is to make a little profit and run."
The stock market, where bloodless killings take place, is much more cruel than street shootings. You can be a multi-millionaire one second, and lose all your pants the next.
A private seat on the skyscraper's podium!
Zhang Ailun fell into deep thought, and the car became quiet. After more than ten minutes, they drove to the central airport and parked the car at the entrance of T2. The stockbroker also got out of the car in a hurry.
"I have already told you the situation. Just do as I say and you can make money without any risk! If what I said is false, you can come to me when the time comes! Good luck! Goodbye!"
After saying that, he ran into T2 without looking back. The airport staff were also a little surprised to see him in such a hurry.
Zhang Ailun watched him leave, turned the car around again and drove away.
When passing the traffic light, I took out my mobile phone and searched the stock details, and found the stock called Tingke Mobile (TNK).
The current stock price is $.
If what the other party said is true, the price will continue to fluctuate and fall to US$ until the closing price.
If he buys $ million at the price of $100 per lot, waits for the price to rise after tomorrow's opening, and sells it at $, then in just half a day, including the principal, he can make a crazy profit of $ million! A full three times the profit.
If Blitzcrank were to operate multiple accounts and invest 500 million US dollars, he could make 1500 million US dollars! !
There is no daily limit on the rise and fall of US stocks, which means that stocks can theoretically rise or fall infinitely in any trading day, from a peak of $1000 to a quick evaporation of $. There is no fixed percentage limit, but there is a circuit breaker mechanism.
That is, when the trading price of a certain stock rises or falls by more than 5% in one day, trading of that stock will be suspended for 5 minutes.
When the stock price rises or falls by more than 10% in a day, the stock will be suspended for another 5 minutes. When the stock price rises or falls by more than 20% in a day, the stock will be suspended for another 10 minutes.
If the stock still experiences large fluctuations, exceeding 50%-100%, the CSRC will quickly investigate and temporarily suspend trading.
After confirming that there is no mysterious force outside the market interfering or maliciously manipulating the stock price, normal trading will continue.
The stockbroker said that the price would be tripled within half a day, which was indeed possible, indicating that the private equity fund must have dealt with the CSRC. While suspending trading, it would also attract countless retail investors to enter the market until the stock price reached a high point.
If you know at what price to enter the market and at what price to exit the market accurately, then even a pig can make money from the stock market!
Just move your fingers and you can get millions of dollars. It's that simple.
But most people cannot get accurate information at all. They can only follow the trend and enter the market at high prices. Then they watch the market plunge and either cut their losses or get stuck.
What’s even more terrifying is that no one is willing to take over even when you are selling at a loss, because everyone is frantically leaving the market and no one is entering. You cannot sell the stocks you hold at all, and you are stuck at the bottom in despair.
"If it's really as he said, this is a great opportunity to make money!" Zorro was already tempted.
I just took out my phone and did some operations. I got 200 US dollars from the exchange and planned to enter the market before the closing at 4 pm or after the market, and wait until tomorrow to make a fortune.
But this amount of money was not enough to earn much, so he could only look at the chief leader and ask, "Boss, can you lend me some money?"
"No." Zhang Ailun said calmly, "You still owe me money for medical expenses. How dare you ask me to borrow money?"
"Then I can only go to the local boss to apply for a loan." Zorro rolled his eyes.
"How much money can you borrow?" Zhang Ailun asked.
"They are all loan sharks. The most they should be is only 20. I don't plan to pay it back anyway."
Zorro said: "Then we can just go to another place and wait for two years until they go bankrupt!"
"If you borrow money from others, you have to pay it back. If they don't go bankrupt, your end will definitely not be good. Sooner or later you will have to pay for what you have done!" Zhang Ailun warned.
"I was just joking. If I really made money, I would definitely pay it back to them. Half a day's interest is not much. At worst, I can mortgage my Chevrolet to them to pay the interest." Zorro immediately stated seriously that he was definitely not the kind of person who would not pay back the money he owed.
Zhang Alan sent a message to Blitz, informing him about the stock and asking him to look into it.
Blitz: Is there such news? Then what he said should be true. A while ago, several people from fundraising funds did contact people from Tingke Mobile, and they also invited people from the China Securities Regulatory Commission to have a meal. No one knows what they talked about. Now it seems that they want to make money by manipulating stocks. This stock is worth buying!
Zhang Ailun: There are several million dollars in the Hamburg Foundation. The virtual currency is converted into cash and deposited into different bank accounts. I currently have a total of 500 million dollars in available funds. Can I use multiple accounts in different regions to purchase this stock?
Blitz: Sure, I have some broilers on hand. They are in Italy, the Middle East, Mexico, Cuba, Finland, the Philippines, Vietnam... We can use accounts to buy this stock, enter the market at around , and operate before or after the market closes. The total amount of funds is only this much, and it will definitely not attract the attention of the market.
Zhang Ailun: Tell Dominic and Sig and the others about this and ask them to buy some, so that everyone can make money.
Blitzcrank: OK!!
