Chapter 1291: Close Comrades, The Horn Blows
From the communication between the two parties in the dialogue, we can see the identity of the person whom Tony calls a child. Harry Osborne, the new head of the Osborne Group, is also one of the hottest young rich men at present.
Some people say that he is an outstanding figure who can be compared with Stark back then. Although this is a bit unrealistic, he is indeed similar to Stark in some things. They all inherited a large amount of inheritance, and they all controlled a business empire. After removing Stark's genius bonus, there is actually no difference between the two of them. So naturally, these two guys also have a lot of common language.
Stark knew him, and he knew Stark in some ways. From this point alone, they can also be regarded as friends. It's just that this is not the best reason for him to cooperate with Stark.
In collusion with Stark, and together as an enemy of the consortium forces in the entire United States, in the final analysis, Harry's ultimate goal is still for profit.
Perhaps in the eyes of those ordinary people, standing on the side of the Stark government is really the most stupid move. The power of the consortium is so huge that it almost spreads all over the world. When they are united, it is impossible for a mere government to be their opponent. At this time, only by standing with the consortium can we reap the greatest benefits, and only by standing with them can we become the winner.
But obviously, Harry didn't think so. In any battle and confrontation, it is impossible to say for sure who will be the final victor until the last moment. This principle also applies to today's situation. The power of the consortium is indeed powerful, but the Stark government is not a lamb to be slaughtered. There will be a fierce fight between them, and it is not clear who will be the winner. At most, it can only be said that the consortium has a better chance of winning. And with such a small gap, it is impossible to compare with the benefits Harry saw.
If the consortium and the Stark government are compared to stocks at the same time, then the consortium is undoubtedly a blue-chip stock that has been soaring all the way. Strong strength and glorious past make everyone look up to them, and they will choose them without hesitation, even a little crazy.
In contrast, the Stark government is more like a newly listed stock. No one knows what kind of abilities they can have and what kind of achievements they can create. So naturally, most people would choose to remain silent and wait and see when faced with such an existence.
Compared with the two, blue chip stocks are undoubtedly a better and safer choice. Even from the perspective of safety, most people will choose them. This is not to say that the Stark government is really that bad, but that the strength of the consortium is too strong, so strong that it can almost offset all the advantages of the Stark government. Anyone can feel that they have seen the solution at a glance, so of course they can't do the so-called stupid things in their eyes at this time.
However, is this something stupid? Harry didn't think so. He never overestimated himself too much,
But he never overestimates his enemies too much. In his view, although the power of the consortium is strong, it has not yet reached the point where it can gain an overwhelming advantage over the Stark government. The outcome of the outcome is unknown, especially after they secretly joined the Stark government.
So from this point of view, the Stark government may not be a good choice. And compared with the consortium, this side has a very special advantage. That is interest!
When everyone is optimistic about the consortium, they naturally bet on the consortium's side. And this makes even if the consortium wins, the benefits they can get are not as much as they imagined. The result is different for a large group of people and a small number of people. The gap in the middle is at least several times or ten times the conversion. And according to the habit of capitalists who can take risks to the point of climbing the gallows for profit, this huge benefit is enough to make them ignore all dangers.
Harry is also a capitalist. He has seen the amazing interests represented by the Stark government, so naturally, he knows what choice he should make.
Everything is for profit, and everything can only be for profit. Tony knew this very well. Of course, he also knew that the young man Harry was not like the other guys he recruited. The two of them are considered friends, and they have entanglements in interests, so naturally this distinguishes them from ordinary people.
If those other people can only be regarded as side followers, then for Tony, Harry already has the possibility of rising to a close comrade-in-arms. Of course, it's just a possibility. Whether this possibility can become a reality, the most important thing actually depends on whether Harry can reflect his own value.
This is a difficult problem, because since ancient times, Lu Yao knows Ma Ma and sees people's hearts for a long time. The problem is precisely that the time left for Tony is not sufficient. He didn't have the chance to judge Harry's ability with time. Fortunately, he can solve this problem in other ways.
There is such a good opportunity right now. With the best trader and the most sufficient funds in the world, Tony must of course give these consortiums a hard blow from their foundation. The first shot, of course, must be fired red and loud. Although it is said that this cannon was shot in the dark, it is somewhat shady. But there's nothing wrong with getting Harry to step up and be a trumpeter on the charge.
So all the tests, everything, will start from the next day, when the shot is fired.
The next day, dawn has come, and the horn has sounded. As the newly established Washington Stock Exchange began a new day of stock trading, almost immediately, the sound of rushing was already resounding.
Countless loose orders began to appear on the stock market, devouring the free shares of those established companies in the stock market like monsters. We must know that as time goes by, the scattered shares of those established companies have already grown to an astonishing price. Ordinary self-employed people simply cannot eat such a large portion. But today, a miracle happened. These loose orders didn't care about the high prices at all. The speed at which they swallowed up the odd stocks was amazing, and they even wanted to pay a premium to speed up the speed.
This really surprised everyone in the stock market, but more people got excited. Dramatic changes in stocks often mean the beginning of a miracle in which money starts to drop in the sky. In many similar situations in the past, many people made their fortunes by relying on such a miracle, and transformed themselves from stock market refugees into stock market investors. Regal. This is the myth of the stock market, and it is the most dreamed moment for those who are wandering in the stock market. Now that this moment actually appeared in front of them, it was naturally impossible for them to miss such an opportunity.
At this time, it can be said that as long as they hold the stocks that hot money wants to buy, they have already begun to eagerly mark their stocks at a satisfactory price and list them on the stock market. And just as they thought, almost immediately, these stocks were swallowed up without the slightest hesitation.
A lot of money is in hand, and many people have become millionaires at this time. This of course stimulated those who were hesitant to stop hesitating. They immediately started to sell, and those hot money swallowed their stocks unceremoniously. Just like this, with one in and one out, almost all the scattered stocks in the market were swallowed up by these sudden hot money. And this naturally made the companies whose stocks were acquired began to rise.
You know, these old companies like General Electric, General Motors, etc. have not moved their butts for decades. It is even said that because of the impact of emerging companies like Stark, they often make frightening diving moves in the stock market.
Every scandal, or every decline in performance, will more or less affect their market value. Although there is the backing of the consortium behind them, these established companies don't have to worry about falling to the bottom. But in any case, this is also a matter related to their interests, so no one would want to experience such a thing.
But now, the situation is surprisingly the opposite. Obviously it was the turmoil in the stock market again, but it unexpectedly caused their market value to rise all the way. This will naturally attract the attention of those shareholders and management.
"What's the matter? At this time, someone is actually buying into our scattered stocks and raising our market value. Could it be that someone plans to break into our board of directors in one fell swoop?"
It is not uncommon in this country of capital to collect scattered stocks in the stock market and become a shareholder decision-maker in one fell swoop. Many emerging companies have been annexed in this way. But established companies often do not happen such a thing. The reason is simple, their market value is already too scary.
Take General Electric as an example, with a market value of more than 280 billion, even if the U.S. dollar has depreciated now, not everyone can afford this price. Wanting to annex this established company in one fell swoop, even those economically powerful countries may inevitably hurt their muscles and bones, not to mention that doing so may attract legal interference, which is simply impossible to achieve. So in the current situation, at most, some capitalists intend to make a big splash and improve their status in the financial empire by joining the decision-making layer. Other than that, there isn't much to explain.
These veteran shareholders, especially those with a consortium background, don't mind such a thing happening. Because doing so often means that a new force has joined them. For things like stocks, everyone holds a little cross in their hands. As long as it does not affect the overall situation, many people are still willing to trade stocks for the support of a new friend and sufficient cash flow.
So soon, some small shareholders began to operate in the stock market, and this immediately intensified the changes in the stock market.
