The journey starts from the Titanic

"What? Say it again!" Situ Nan asked.

"I just found out that there was a group of people who were also playing Kodak's idea. Just now when I was about to buy Nakodak stocks, I suddenly found that someone was already buying Nakodak stocks frantically, and the stock price was driven up by them.

Is this okay?We finally suppressed Kodak's stock price. How can we let these bastards pick peaches?So we also joined the ranks of snapping up Kodak stocks. Just before the market closed, we grabbed 9% of Kodak stocks, which was less than 20% from the expected 20%. I was really angry!"Robos said angrily.

"Do you know who the other party is? By the way, you can think about the ins and outs of this matter again and see what is strange." Situ Nan thought this was interesting, but I didn't know if it was a coincidence or a conspiracy?

"Oh! I think about it, I'm really careless about this matter, why didn't I think it was not that simple? The news about Kodak's financial crisis a few days ago was not about the news of Kodak's financial crisis that I asked someone to spread, even though I wanted to Do it, but it seems that someone has taken the lead.

Yes, that's right, I told the whistleblower that it was announced on January 4, but I didn't expect it would be published in the newspaper a day before. Of course, I followed up without thinking about it.

There seems to be a group of people doing the same thing.Only not long ago, everyone unintentionally cooperated too well, so they found that things went smoothly, and Kodak's stock price was suddenly suppressed."Robos analyzed.

"Are you sure that we did not release the news?" Situ Nan asked anxiously.

"Yes, I confirm!" Robles said.

"Oh! That's great!" Situ Nan said happily.

"Great? Why?" Robles on the other end of the phone was confused.

"I'll explain this to you later. You can check the details of those people and buy enough shares from other Kodak shareholders. This matter is very important. No matter who those people are, everyone is grabbing time now. , We must not fall short, work harder, Kodak is ours!" Situ Nan exhorted.

call!

Putting down the microphone, Situ Nan felt more relaxed in his heart. Although Robles brought no good news, for Situ Nan, the news was too timely.

In this way, the Kodak crisis was not caused by Robles Securities, but Robles Securities came in at the right time and added it when it saw a profit. This explanation is somewhat reluctant, but it is enough for Situ Nan. .

Sometimes deceiving yourself is not a good thing?

Situ Nan is now able to negotiate with Eastman generously. Eastman is also a bit pitiful. Kodak is in a precarious manner. He, the big boss, is still in the dark, trying to seek help from his opponent?

"Is it Robles? I heard you talk to him just now." Laura interrupted.She saw that Situ Nan was in a good mood and seemed to have solved the trouble.

"Yes! It's Robles. He just said hello to you! He also said that if we have time to go to New York, he wants to entertain us." Situ Nan quickly changed the subject.

"That's great! It's been a long time since I went to Broadway to watch an opera." Laura said cheerfully.

Especially when I heard that Robles wanted to entertain her and Situ Nan, calling them together, it means that he and Situ Nan are one body, their relationship has been recognized by Robes, their love is Blessed.

Well, this woman is really good at horns sometimes!

Situ Nan turned his wrists to see that it was already 6 o'clock in the afternoon. He was a little hungry and it was time to eat.Thinking that Eastman was still waiting for his reply, Situ Nan called Eastman for dinner.

Chapter 87 Situ Nan's Kodak

In winter, the night in Niagara comes earlier, especially in mid-high latitudes like Niagara, the darker the night to the north.Situ Nan looked around, and it was dark outside, and there were no more snowflakes flying in the sky, only the cold wind calling.

From the moment he sat down, Eastman looked at Situ Nan expectantly. The sumptuous dinner fell into his eyes without much appetite.

This old man is in his fifties and has to work hard for business matters. Situ Nan thought to end the suffering of this poor man!

"There is good news to tell you, George, after consideration, I decided to accept your suggestion and take a stake in your company." Situ Nan smiled. The sincere person who didn't know thought that this guy was just and generous. Too!

"Really? Thank you so much, Stoney!" George Eastman stood up excitedly and grabbed Situ Nan's hand for fear that he would regret it.

For Eastman, today is really a difficult day. In the afternoon, the stock market in Kodak stocks was ups and downs, making him, the big boss in Niagara, helpless. He really couldn't find new funds to spend this time. Crisis.

What made Eastman even more embarrassing was that he called other shareholders of the company. Some people couldn't get through, some were going to sell the company's shares, and some had already been sold.

Now the big boss of Eastman can't raise enough funds to buy back the shares of other shareholders. He can only watch Kodak's shares drop into the hands of others.

This is a fact that Eastman is unacceptable, just like the son he raised was snatched away. If he runs into an incompetent "dad", his "son" will suffer.

Eastman was not stingy with money, but was afraid that Kodak would fall into the hands of people who were not in line with his ideas. At this point, the camera-related topics that Situ Nan and Eastman had talked about at the time were a bonus for Situ Nan. After a lot, Eastman thinks it is better to let Situ Nan buy a stake in Kodak than others?

He is in his fifties. He has been dedicated to Kodak for decades, and he is a little tired. Eastman is not the kind of person who wants to work till death in that position.

Situ Nan didn't know what Eastman was thinking, otherwise, where would it be necessary to do so many small moves?Otherwise it will be more cruel!

Releasing Eastman’s hand, Situ Nan said: “It’s true, George, after talking to you this morning, I launched a relationship in New York to check Kodak’s situation. As you said, Kodak is a bit bad. They have fallen again and again. But I also believe that as you said, Kodak is facing only temporary difficulties, as long as it finds enough funds to survive, his potential is underestimated. So I have asked to absorb Kodak’s The stock is out. Haha!"

Situ Nan quibbled.

What he said was half-truth and half-false, and he tried to wrap up his "malicious intentions" with rhetoric.

Obviously, he succeeded!

The highest level of a lie is not that the truth is false, the false is true, and the truth is true and false.Eastman almost believed it, and he can only believe it now.

With a preconceived impression, Eastman thought Situ Nan was helping himself and Kodak, so he was grateful to Situ Nan.

Eastman holds 30% of Kodak's shares. If converted according to the previous stock price, it is worth at least 10 million U.S. dollars, but now the stock price has plummeted, and Eastman's fortune has also shrunk by more than half.

Although this is only temporary, it is fatal to Eastman, who lacks funds.

By secretly absorbing and buying from other shareholders, Situ Nan has quietly controlled 29% of Kodak’s shares, only a little less than Eastman. The rest of Situ Nan is estimated to be in that mysterious force. In the hands, just waiting for them to show up automatically.

Situ Nan is not in a hurry. Naturally, some people will be anxious. Some people have planned this round, but they will naturally be anxious if they do not see the desired result.

As long as you hold Eastman tightly, you will not be afraid of any conspiracy and tricks by the third party.Situ Nan is not a weak Eastman. After the spin-off of the food company and the listing, Situ Nan still holds a large sum of funds, up to 50 or 60 million U.S. dollars, forcing him to take this to hurt people. It's all done, the big deal is to postpone other plans for a period of time.

It is the mentality like Situ Nan's current state of mind to say it roughly.

In the past, Situ Nan didn’t realize why the old guy J.P Morgan liked the majestic business. Railways, steel, shipping, electric power, Morgan’s control of those companies are the largest in the industry, and with strong capital, these big companies Only Morgan’s support continued to annex other companies, and finally developed into trusts that people look up to.

This is where the old guy is so bullish, but he is dead, but his legend is talked about by American entrepreneurs.

Now Situ Nan has finally realized that only a majestic career is a symbol of his identity and strength, so he is determined to swallow Kodak, the largest camera manufacturer in the United States now and in the future!

After some bargaining, Situ Nan bought 10% of Kodak shares from Eastman for US$2.05 million.

The next day, Situ Nan told Eastman that, after a lot of effort, Robles Securities had a 29% stake in Kodak.In addition to Eastman's 10% sold to Situ Nan, Situ Nan and his allies have controlled Kodak's 39% of the shares.

Although not more than half, he is now Kodak's largest shareholder and unknowingly took the lead in this Kodak battle.

"Ah..." Eastman was stunned when he heard the news. He looked at Situ Nan in a little astonishment. This young man was so unfathomable that he unknowingly controlled Kodak.

"How did you do it?" Eastman stared at Situ Nan, he wondered whether the young man in front of him was behind the Kodak storm.

Situ Nan was a little guilty of being stared at by Eastman. Although it was nothing in the market, he also played a disgraceful role behind him.

However, Situ Nan did not show a trace of guilt on his face. He just smiled bitterly and said: "George, if I say it is a coincidence, you may not believe it, but the fact is like that. I didn't expect to meet you on this trip, let alone you. The owner of Kodak.

Since knowing your identity, I have asked people to investigate Kodak’s situation. It happened that Kodak’s financial turmoil happened. Kodak’s stock price plummeted. Those antiques were selling their shares on Wall Street, and they just happened to be more. Robles Securities has some business connections, so I bought their shares.

When you came to me for help, I was really embarrassed. I didn't know whether to confess or not, but I never thought of deceiving you.
