Chapter 1450 Picking Wool and Cutting Leeks

Sure enough, as predicted by economists in the pre-market news, Apple's stock price soared 14% immediately after the opening, from 3.74 all the way to 4.26, and continued to rise. Investors cheered, they were in Apple's stock has been depressed for too long and has lost too much, and now it is finally time to clear the dark clouds and see the bright moon!

At the same time, Li Ziwei was on the phone with Tim Cook and was telling him about Li Mu's decision, while Li Mu was sitting in the conference room of Muye Technology and continued to communicate with others about the follow-up details of the Apple acquisition. Louis Martin suddenly received When I received a message, I opened it, and my expression was amazed, and he blurted out, "Mr. Li, there is an emergency!

Li Mu asked him, "What happened?"

"The news of our acquisition of Apple has come to the market, and now Apple's stock price is rising rapidly, and it is now close to $4.50," Louis Martin said.

Li Mu frowned instantly and said, "This news is definitely the biggest positive for current Apple investors, right?"

Louis Martin nodded and said, "If the stock price skyrockets, the cost of our privatization will increase substantially as the stock price skyrockets."

Lin Qingya, who doesn't know much about the US stock market, asked him, "Mr. Martin, as long as we get most of Apple's shares, we can apply for a forced delisting. There's no need to pay for the inflated stock price, right?"

Louis Martin said: "We must pay the bill. If we hold more than 66.6% of the shares and vote, we do have the right to force the delisting, but the premise is that Nasdaq nods. When our stock price is 4.15, we will talk to Nasda. 150% of 4.15 was proposed as the privatization price. Nasdaq naturally has no objection. After all, this protects the interests of investors, but if the stock price rises to $6, we will use this price to request a forced delisting. Nasdaq has no objection. In order to protect the interests of investors, Dak will definitely not pass, so that our total acquisition cost will increase a lot."

Lin Qingya frowned and said, "If that's the case, don't we have to pay a lot of extra money?"

"If the stock price keeps going up, we're going to have to pay more and more extra, and those institutions are obviously trying to hitch a ride," said Louis Martin.

Lin Qingya hurriedly looked at Li Mu.

If the acquisition and privatization are carried out at the price of the framework agreement for the previous acquisition of Apple, the money in Makino Technology’s hands is just enough after deducting the normal operation.

But if the cost of Apple's privatization suddenly increases, then Muye Technology will once again fall into a situation of insufficient money, which would be too passive.

Just when everyone was a little nervous,

Li Mu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked Louis Martin: "The main players on the Nasdaq should be working at full speed to accumulate funds now, right?"

Louis Martin nodded and said: "Although I don't know the specifics, it is certain that these main investment institutions must be wildly accumulating funds, because they know best how much profit margins privatization can bring.

Li Mu nodded and said lightly: "The meeting is suspended first, so don't worry, this matter is not necessarily a bad thing for us."

Everyone didn't dare to answer, because in their opinion, if it wasn't a bad thing, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

Li Mu still said to Louis Martin with a calm expression: "Louis, you immediately find a reliable source of information, I want all the current movements of Apple's stock on Nasdaq."

Louis Martin nodded: "No problem, I'll find out now."

Immediately, Louis Martin immediately launched his personal connections and grasped the current trend of the whole situation in detail.

The stock price has broken through $4.6 at this time, but at this time, a large number of rumors began to affect the retail investors of Nasdaq in all directions.

Some people say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Apple's stock price will definitely rise sharply under the stimulus of this good news. If you grab Apple's stock at this time, you will not only be able to seize the market and make a lot of money, but you can also make a fortune in the market. When Muye Technology started its privatization, it earned another share price premium. After all, Nasdaq frequently has listed companies privatized, and investors will be given a certain premium when repurchasing shares, which is basically Nasdaq's convention.

Some hold the opposite frankness. They say that all this is actually a conspiracy of securities funds. They have a large number of Apple stocks that have been deeply trapped and suffered heavy losses. Only then will false news be released, and investors will frantically snap up Apple shares, so that they can take the opportunity to raise the stock price and quickly ship out. After Muye Technology refutes the rumors, the stock price will fall in retaliation, and all the investors who snap in will be doomed;

Some people think that the rumor of this acquisition will be Apple's best opportunity; others think that this is a big hole specially dug for retail investors, a big hole where people can die without a place to die.

Gradually, the proportion of these comments changed, from 55 to 28 at the beginning. Most of the rumors are more inclined to this "opportunity" is actually a super big hole, Gradually, retail investors who are not determined enough have lost their confidence.

As a result, the stock price began to fall after reaching as high as $4.66.

Louis Martin told Li Mu: "The fall in stock prices will trigger a round of selling, and it should be the main source of accumulation."

"Accumulate?" Li Mu's expression was a little erratic.

Louis Martin nodded and said: "The main force must be more optimistic about our acquisition of Apple's market. They have spent so much thought, in fact, they want to deceive retail investors to sell, and then achieve low-cost accumulation, and lock the follow-up market to themselves. arms.

Li Mu suddenly realized, stood up, and said to everyone in the conference room: "Everyone continue to pay attention to the trend, I'll make a phone call first."

...

Li Mu's phone call lasted 20 minutes. Since he went back to his own office to call, no one knew who he was calling and what he was going to do.

Just after Li Mu returned to the conference room, the rumors on the market soon began to escalate.

The new remarks pay more attention to "Li Jufu", from the perspective of business, from the perspective of strength, from the perspective of future development, from the perspective of Li Mu's character, etc., and comprehensively analyze and interpret. In the end, they came to the conclusion: Li Mu does not There may be a real takeover of Apple, and all this may just be a conspiracy.

For example: they deeply analyzed Apple's business status and believed that Apple's current overall situation was not beneficial to Muye Technology, and Muye Technology had no reason to acquire Apple;

Another example is that they believe that Apple's mess will cause major losses to the receivers. Li Mu has never made a loss-making investment, so how could he invest in Apple;

For another example, they felt that Li Mu's character would never buy his own defeated generals. Apple was destroyed by him. No matter what the situation, Li Mu would not be able to help Apple rebuild;

As a result, the older and more people begin to believe that this "opportunity" is actually a "death vortex". Taking advantage of the fact that the stock price is improving and has not yet started to fall, it is wisest to cut the meat and leave the talent.

When retail investors began to think like this, they were followed by a large number of retail investors who began to sell stocks. In their opinion, the stock price has risen a lot now, and they should sell quickly, get rid of Apple's stock that has fallen to the bottom, and quickly recover some. Loss is the most important thing.

Under the influence of this kind of psychology, the market set off a wave of selling, and Apple's stock price continued to fall, and soon fell to the $4.31 level, a very fast decline.

But what's interesting is that no matter how many people in the market are selling Apple's tradable shares, there are people who are obscure in the back and take every single sell order, just like a huge sponge, desperately absorbing what can be accessed. every drop of water.

No matter how many people put up a sell order, they will be immediately captured by investors who do not know where they came from.

At this time, another rumor spread: "The turnover rate of Apple's stock is amazing, it seems that the main force has already fled!"

As soon as the rumor that the main force fled, almost all the real retail investors were not calm. What they are most afraid of is to be a Panxia. This is like the law that a water ghost must find a substitute for a dead ghost to live. The one who is the Panxia is the unlucky ghost who sleeps in the bottom of the water in exchange for the water ghost itself. Retail investors would rather Cut meat, and do not want to fall into this fate.

Just when the retail investors were panicking, a new rumor flooded the market: "The main force is fleeing quickly and smoothly, and the stupid retail investors are still buying Apple stock frantically because of the fantasy that the stock will continue to rise, which gives the main force absolutely no reason. Jia's chance to escape, it won't be long before the main force will be completely liquidated, leaving all the mess to retail investors.

The retail investors have become more nervous now. Most of the retail investors are individual individuals. They have no way of knowing what operations the retail investors in the entire market are performing. In fact, the real market situation now is that retail investors are constantly being fooled. , because they are afraid of deep traps and fear of being a pick-up man, they sell the Apple stocks in their hands, and they are ready to stop losses in time, while those who spread rumors everywhere are greedily absorbing the Apple stocks sold by every retail investor.

The fact is diametrically opposed to the rumors, the main force not only did not escape, but realized that this was an excellent opportunity, so he was ready to absorb more chips.

However, the chips in circulation are limited after all. If no one is willing to sell on the market, it is impossible for others to get more chips. Moreover, if the price is raised too high, the cost of the main pool of chips will also increase, so the main force Begin to deceive retail investors through various operations, so that retail investors believe that the stock is about to fall or even plummet, so as to induce retail investors to sell and absorb chips.

Such operations are not only common in the Chinese stock market and the US stock market, but are also extremely common in various currency speculation circles in the future. Today, there may suddenly be overwhelming news that a certain virtual currency is about to plummet. Investors are afraid of rushing to sell at a low price. At this time, the main force who operates everything behind the scenes quickly absorbs it into their own hands at a low price, and then makes some moves to raise the value of the currency again and make a lot of profits.

For example, a certain virtual currency fell from $1,000 to $700, then rose from $700 to 1,100, then fell to 650, and then rose back to 1,000. It seems that the currency value has been tossing around and back to the original point, but the fighting behind Among them, some people have made a lot of money, and some people have committed suicide by jumping off the building.

The real main force manipulated this virtual coin to drop from $1,000 to 700. Among them, retail investors sold to bear the loss, the main force was 700 to accumulate, and then pulled up to 1,100, and then created false prosperity to the outside world, making retail investors think that the virtual coin It will continue to rise, and then they start to clear their positions and sell them, earning more than 50% of the profit. After the shipment, they continue to manipulate the value of the virtual currency to fall, causing panic again, so that the currency value bottoms out and then accumulates and rises...

In short, in every price fluctuation, the main players are buying low and selling high, while most retail investors buy high and sell low. The final result is that retail investors lose a mess, and the main players make big profits.

The current Apple stock price is playing this way. The main force is creating panic, driving down the stock price, triggering a sell-off, and then frantically accumulating money.

To everyone's surprise, although Li Mu's expression was always serious, he was not impatient at all, not even angry. Since the call, he has been calmly watching Apple's stock price and the general trend of the transaction.

By the afternoon, Apple's stock price had oscillated to a trend comparable to that of a healthy human electrocardiogram. However, in the constant shocks, the overall trend was declining. The stock price fell all the way through the $4.3, $4.2, and $4.1 levels, before the level of 4.03-4.01. A tug of war started.

The overall downward trend has strengthened the confidence of retail investors in the market. More and more people believe that Apple's stock price will continue to fall, so the chips in the hands of retail investors are getting more and more. These half-day efforts have been fierce. The main force of Wall Street securities has almost completely absorbed the stocks in the hands of Apple's retail investors.

Louis Martin told Li Mu a very critical piece of data: According to his intelligence, so far, more than 90 percent of the Apple stock in the hands of ordinary retail investors has been absorbed by shocks.

At the same time, Louis Martin sighed to Li Mu: "These main players are really too ruthless. They completely scared ordinary investors, and almost all of the tradable shares on the market are in their pockets."

Li Mu smiled slightly, but did not speak, but what he thought in his heart was that although the main force is ruthless, it is far from such a level of detail. In Louis Martin's view, those rumors must be released by the main force, and half of them came from Li Mu later. Let Zhao Kang's navy be released! And in the later period, the rumors that made retail investors horrified and convincing were almost all the masterpieces of Zhao Kang's navy!

In Li Mu's view, these main players took the opportunity to raise Apple's stock price, and then created panic and crazy accumulation. The next step will definitely be to raise the stock price again after the accumulation is over, and then rely on the high stock price and the additional premium of privatization to compensate. to make huge profits.

What's the difference between this and knowing that it is going to be demolished, and then rushing to plant a house and waiting for more compensation for demolition? With Li Mu's character, it is impossible for these little main forces to succeed. Wanting to lick Li Mu's wool is no different from daydreaming.

It's not just these guys who want to harvest wool from Li Mu, Li Mu actually wants to go to Nasdaq to cut leeks, but as a businessman with strong social influence, he can't directly cut leeks on the Nasdaq market unscrupulously. , especially the leeks of retail investors cannot be cut, because the leeks of retail investors are like the vegetable fields of fellow villagers. Everyone wants to cut them, but the ones who really can do it are those local tyrants and evil gentry, and those who are really rich and powerful can never be pulled. face to cut.

Since they can't afford to cut the leeks of the fellow villagers, it is better to create better conditions for these main institutions first, so that they can quickly raise funds, and after they turn the vegetable fields of the fellow villagers into their own vegetable fields, then cut them well. Chinese chives!
