The journey starts from the Titanic

In fact, it is the big capitalists, big consortiums, the Great Depression or the economic downturn that are really making money. It is also a good time for these capital predators to open their mouths and annex them because they have a lot of money in their hands. The sluggish small and medium-sized enterprises come to reduce competition and reduce costs.Then they survived the difficult period, and when the economy improves, the companies in their hands will make a lot of money.

But these thoughts were a bit early, and the United States has not yet participated in the war!However, Situ Nan had to admire Eastman's vision. To do business, he must be focused. Kodak is a century-old company with unlimited potential.

"George, you are right. You have a good vision, but everyone is different. It is impossible for those people to listen to you. People often only choose to see the benefits they see before them, and give up the long-term benefits. It's normal, nothing!" Situ Nan said.Well, it seems like comfort, but the comfort is somewhat painless.

In this game for Kodak, short-sighted people will choose to leave now, and people who know the goods will resolutely join in, such as Situ Nan, who has "secretly entered the village" in front of him.

Situ Nan felt that Eastman's troubles might also be his own opportunity, but even if he was happy in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, he didn't know for a while that he was the instigator.

"Yeah, it would be great if those people thought of you. But this is not the most serious, the most serious is that Kodak is now in a crisis."

"Oh?" Finally speaking the point, Situ Nan looked at Eastman expectantly.

"Just four days ago, the New York Wall Street Journal published a report on Kodak’s financial crisis, and Kodak’s stock price fell. Kodak’s stock was sold off, and in just one day, it has gone from its original price of $4 per share. It fell to 3.1 US dollars per share, a drop of nearly 30% on the first day, and the stock price fell all the way in the next two days. Yesterday it fell to 2.2 US dollars. This is terrible!

Now on Wall Street, it’s spreading that Kodak’s capital chain is broken, and there will be bankruptcy if no new funds are added. Rumors are flying everywhere. Without really effective measures, investors’ confidence cannot be restored, but I’m trapped here. It’s really annoying. Up!"

Eastman said angrily, "This is a conspiracy, I feel it!"

"No?" Situ Nan said in surprise.

Could it be that Robles did it?Situ Nan suddenly realized that he had mentioned Kodak to Robles before, as if he had authorized Robles to deal with Kodak.

Thinking of this, Situ Nan felt a little guilty. He touched his nose, looked at Eastman, and waited for his next words.

Eastman frowned and said: "I also just received this news. They contacted for a few days before finding me. When I received this news, things were already out of control. Damn it, I'm trapped now. Here, I can’t go back to New York for a while, I can only contact New York by phone, and I can’t do anything else.”

"It's true, this is really bad enough, this damn weather, I wanted to return to Pittsburgh, and now I am..." Situ Nan weakly agreed.

If this matter was really done by his own people, now the victim, Eastman, is complaining in front of him. This is really ironic. Is it too hypocritical?This made Situ Nan's heart a little uncomfortable.When this happened, Situ Nan felt that he could be so shameless.

...

Chapter 86

When Situ Nan first met Eastman, he asked Robles to investigate Kodak. It turned out that Kodak’s situation was a little bad. So Situ Nan, who seized a good opportunity, asked Robes to buy Kodak’s shares without much consideration. Yes, all this was done without Eastman.

At first, Situ Nan's motives were a little bad, but after a short time, Eastman's integrity and kindness touched Situ Nan. He now regards Eastman as his friend.

What if Eastman finds out in the future?Situ Nan regretted a bit, and told Eastman directly that he wanted to invest in Kodak.It hurts, are you going to lose a friend?Situ Nan really wanted to slap himself.

Eastman looked at Situ Nan's tangled expression, thinking that he was worried about himself, and he couldn't help being moved.He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to say: "Kodak now needs to raise a large sum of money, or it may go bankrupt, so I want Stonney to come... Do you see if you can lend me the money or buy shares in Kodak? The company? I really need to raise funds to get through this difficult time. All I can find is you!"

Eastman looked at Situ Nan eagerly. Kodak was his life’s painstaking effort. He didn’t want to see it fall, so even if he was cheeky, he had to plead with Situ Nan, a friend who is not too familiar. If Situ Nan is really As he said, the words of the boss of Occidental Petroleum!

Situ Nan really wanted to promise Eastman. This was exactly the result he was looking forward to, but at the last moment, I wonder why he hesitated.

After thinking for a while, Situ Nan said: "George, I understand your difficulties. I really want to do this for you. Investing in Kodak is indeed a good choice, but there are some issues that I need to think about. Will you give me some time? Right, I'm answering you tonight!"

"Okay! I'll wait for your news!" Eastman was a little lost, but still understood Situ Nan. After all, Kodak is not an ordinary company. If Kodak wants to tide over the difficulties smoothly this time, it won't work without a large sum of money.Naturally, such a major investment must be carefully considered, and it is not something that can be done by yourself in a few words.

Watching Eastman Xiaosuo walk out of the room, Laura said to Situ Nan: "Stoney, George is in trouble, we should help him!"

She had just been listening to Situ Nan and their conversation. As a Situ Nan woman, she knew that she should not interfere with men's serious affairs, but she felt that Eastman was a respectable person.

"Well, let me think about it! I'll call and ask what's going on." Situ Nan could not explain to Laura that Kodak's troubles this time may have something to do with him, but it will be clear by asking Roberts specifically. .

Situ Nan hid in the room, avoided Laura, and dialed Robles.

"How's the matter with Kodak?" Situ Nan lowered his voice and asked straightforwardly.

"Hahaha! The situation is very good. There is nothing better than this. Kodak is now in a precarious situation. We have quietly absorbed more than 8% of the shares some time ago. No, let's throw them all away. Kodak's The stock price fell like a laxative! Kodak’s management didn’t know what was going on. Chairman George Eastman didn’t know where he went. The other shareholders of the company panicked and are busy selling shares everywhere. !

Yesterday I just bought some shares of Kodak from the guys in Kodak, hahaha!If the market continues as it is today, and if you work harder, I believe you can acquire more Kodak stocks from Kodak shareholders.At that time, we will also be scanning the stock market and taking in all the outstanding shares. Is Kodak still in our pocket?Hahaha, there will be good news soon."

Robles said arrogantly on the other end of the phone.

"Oh, isn't it? Great, I'm waiting for your good news!" Situ Nan's voice was not as excited as he thought, but the excited Robles on the phone did not hear it.

"Oh! Kodak's stock price has fallen again. It has fallen to one dollar. This is selling cabbage! Stonney, I won't tell you anymore, we are about to enter the market to sweep the goods! First, wait for me. News!" Robles hung up after speaking.

"Hey hey hey..." The voice on the phone was blind.

Situ Nan put down the microphone sullenly. This is the end of the matter. What else is there to say?Do you want to tell Robles, stop playing, buddy, let's stop!

This is obviously not a very good reason. Situ Nan doesn’t have to think about it and know that the funds used this time have exceeded tens of millions of dollars. If it falls short, it will be a major blow to Robes Securities. There is no reason to give up halfway.

"How should I tell Eastman? It's not difficult to acquire Kodak stock in Eastman's hands. It is also predictable to move into Kodak, but the problem is that paper cannot contain the fire, and Eastman will know this sooner or later. It turned out that I was instructing it behind my back. This is really chilling. Kodak will have to rely on Eastman to manage it at that time!"

Situ Nan thought very beautifully. According to his idea, he sold Eastman, and Eastman had to count the money for him!But is there such a good thing in the world?

bother!

bother!

bother!

Situ Nan returned and took a sip of wine, the hot alcohol choked his throat a little bit painful!

"Why drink so eagerly? Drinking too much can hurt your body!" Laura snatched Situ Nan's wine glass, and her azure blue eyes looked at Situ Nan with concern.

"Is there anything bothering you? I might help you if you tell me. If it doesn't work, I will go to Andrew." Laura grabbed Situ Nan's hand and said softly.

"Hehe! It's enough to have you! A little thing will pass soon!"

Situ Nan felt a little relieved. He took Laura into his arms and thought: If you have a wife like this, what can your husband want?Going back to find Andrew, who is not the father-in-law, doesn't it seem incompetent?

Although husbands and wives share their adversity, it is very difficult to live with each other, but more often men put pressure on their shoulders instead of making women worry about themselves.

There is no difficulty in Kodak's affairs. On the contrary, things went smoothly, but Situ Nan was a little uncomfortable.

Situ Nan kissed Laura's forehead and said with a smile, "You are so virtuous, I'm afraid I can't help but kiss Andrew after a while!"

Although Laura has become Situ Nan's woman, she was a little embarrassed to talk about marriage and marriage when Situ Nan said it face to face.

"What are you talking about! Beautiful thinking! I didn't promise you!" Laura's powder fist punched Situ Nan's chest a few times, but Situ Nan was caught.

Looking at each other, each other can see their own shadow in each other's eyes. This is the legendary discharge.

After making a noise, Situ Nan's troubles were all let go.Yes, there is a big beauty or a gentle and affectionate Ocean Horse to pick, of course all troubles are put aside.

Seeing Laura's shyness and shame, Situ Nan's heart was about to move again. When he was thinking about getting into trouble, the phone rang suddenly.

Situ Nan was taken aback by this sudden sound. Good things have been ruined. Is it strange that he is in a good mood?We must know that Laura has resolutely rejected Situ Nan’s request for pleasure in the name of caring about her own body.

"Who is it? It's better to give me a reason, otherwise..." Situ Nan grabbed the microphone and burst out a burst of anger.

"Something has changed. Kodak's affairs are in trouble!" Robles said anxiously.
