What are stocks
In terms of definition,
It is a securities issued by a joint stock limited company to raise funds and issued to each shareholder as a shareholding certificate in order to obtain dividends and bonuses.
It may not be intuitive to say this, but in layman’s terms,
It's the person who opened a joint-stock company, who said, "Damn it, I'm an ancient business genius, give me another 350 million, and the entire northwest of Shanxi will have an Italian cannon."
In short, the idea of making some money from the society to make the business bigger and stronger,
So what is he going to do
He divided his partial ownership of the company into many shares (shares), then sold a part, got money from the buyer,
And as a certificate that represents those ownerships - it is the stock.
As for why people buy his stocks, it is of course beneficial,
When you buy stocks, it means that you have contributed money to the operation of that company, obtained a part of ownership, and become one of the investors (shareholders) of this company.
The company has made money. For example, Italian cannons are selling very well in the wake of Resident Evil. The annual sales volume can circle the world three times. Naturally, you can also share the money.
It's just that most people don't buy stocks for dividends and dividends, and they basically can't wait until that day.
The reason why they buy stocks is just to earn the price difference by buying and selling.
And this behavior is called stock trading.
The above are the basic concepts that Fangran just figured out before Veronica came in.
Well, the understanding of the Italian cannon was added by himself...
"That's about it..."
The sliding projection confirmed the information I checked just now. Regarding Veronica's inquiry, Fangran truthfully stated his level of knowledge,
"Although I expected it, it's still at the same level as a baby who has just started to read,"
The queen showed a happy smile that could not hear the ridicule at all,
"If the understanding is so barren, then it's more efficient for you to ask me than to teach you systematically,"
With the condition of being able to meet small requirements such as black tea with the creation of cards, he condescends to become Fangran's private teacher for the time being,
Veronica looked at Fangran with a very gentle and kind smile:
"So, what do you want to know?"
I am speechless about her kindergarten teacher-like expression, but I also know that in front of her, I really might not even be considered a top class in kindergarten,
Fangran held back his complaints and thought about the key to his question.
Thinking back to the main content of the meeting just now, which is also the source of the current urgency - the sharp drop in the stock price of Golden Iris,
Fangran frowned and confirmed the information he needed to know first.
"Why would the stock price go down?"
"Why did it fall, huh..."
Hearing this question that pointed to the core of the current situation, Veronica gave a low laugh inexplicably, then raised her silver-gray eyes to look at Fangran,
"There's only one thing you need to remember about this,"
Her smiling teaching words carry the power of the queen.
"Most things in this world are affected by supply and demand, and stocks are no exception."
Thinking that he would hear all kinds of technical terms to analyze the rise and fall, Fangran was slightly taken aback by this simple truth.
"When a stock has a certain number of issues, the more people want to buy it, the higher its price will be; on the contrary, the more people will sell it, the lower its price will be. "
"What affects investors' enthusiasm is indirect factors including the company's own operating conditions, policies, funds, fundamentals, market environment, banker trading, international situations, etc.,"
It seems to be so familiar that you don’t need to think about it, and explain it casually with simple words that take care of children,
Veronica looked at Fangran with a smile on her face for the last time:
"Do you want to listen? It may take a while to explain."
"No thanks."
I am sure that those indirect factors can be talked about all night, and I feel helpless for her always knowingly asking questions,
Fangran sighed and declined without hesitation.
In fact, when he learned about stocks just now, he also saw nouns such as preferred stock and dividend calculation, but he didn't pay attention to them.
Because of a precious truth I learned during the tenure of the CEO who was kicked out of the ducks,
That is, as a leader, it is enough for him to only grasp the key overall situation. Naturally, the following people will be responsible for many specific and complicated details.
How should I put it, I always feel that I understand why Veronica looks like she is throwing her hands away from the shopkeeper.
People will really turn into the appearance of making fun of themselves.
Shaking away the thought of running away, Fangran turned his thoughts back to his eyes,
After listening to Veronica's explanation, he finally had a clearer understanding of the situation,
The fall in the stock price of Golden Iris means that people don’t want its stock, which means that if there is no problem with the operation of Golden Iris itself,
The future consortium has influenced people's enthusiasm for investing in Golden Iris with 'certain indirect factors'.
In other words, what I have to do now is to find out and solve it,
What tricks did they use to make people unwilling to hold or keep selling their Golden Iris stocks!
"Have you thought of anything?"
"No, I just feel that the problem to be solved is finally a little more specific."
Hearing Veronica's curious chuckle while gradually clarifying the situation, after all, it was not a solution to the general problem of falling stock prices.
Fangran took a breath and answered, now that the goal is clear, the next step is how to investigate this point,
But this is the most intractable key to this crisis!
Huaqi Bank mobilized huge financial power in the past few hours, but did not find any abnormalities in the indirect factors mentioned by Veronica just now,
The stock price of Golden Iris suddenly plummeted for no reason, this is the most troublesome place!
If it was Fangran himself, he would have no idea how to investigate, but it doesn't matter, he now has probably the most powerful 'teacher' in the world,
"Is there any way to investigate why the stock is being sold off?"
After asking what was on his mind, Fangran looked at Veronica waiting for the answer, and then she gracefully picked up the cup of black tea,
After taking a sip, he smiled to himself and said:
"There is no such way."
Varied... ? !
The moment Fangran heard this unexpected answer, Fangran was slightly stunned.
While admiring his dazed expression, Veronica added with a soft smile:
"To be exact, there is no way to find out the real reason after Huaqi Bank has gone through a frenzied investigation."
Hearing this, Fangran reacted instantly,
Indeed, as a global financial giant, how could there be an investigation method that Huaqi Bank did not do, and it was his turn, an ignorant layman, to try,
It doesn't hire those financial elites with super high annual salaries to let them come to drink coffee. They must have tried all existing methods to investigate,
But even so, no reason was found.
"Is there no other way..."
Fangran understood the situation without leaving any chance, but Fangran still asked without hope,
And for this sentence, answer directly with a joke,
"Why don't you just ask the people who sold the stock why they sold it, or send them a survey to try?"
Veronica smiled softly as soon as she finished speaking.
But listening to her joke, Fangran looked at her puzzledly and asked back as if he had been reminded:
"Can't you?"
"Unfortunately, it's not feasible,"
It seemed that he regretted that his joke was not understood, but he was very tolerant of Fangran's ignorance,
Veronica spoke slowly and gracefully:
"The action of buying and selling has a strong impact on the market. This operating organization will only make it public every three months. As for the specific time and method, it is confidential,"
"And in the European and American stock markets, the proportion of a stock held by a shareholder will only be announced to the public if it exceeds 5%,"
Listening to her uttering these completely unknown information, Fangran saw Veronica holding black tea and smiling slightly with her eyes downcast:
"So you see tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars in transactions in the financial market every day. Although you can roughly make speculations and analysis, you can't really be sure,"
“Who are the people behind those funds.”
After listening to such an explanation, it is impossible to find out those who sold stocks, and then directly ask them why,
But Fangran surprisingly did not give up, but frowned hesitantly.
Because he understood, he understood what Veronica said, understood that this is the rule set by people in the financial market,
A kind of 'rule' in reality.
So I had some hesitation about my own thoughts, but then I realized that the situation in front of me was already at stake, and it was the last moment with only a few days left.
Fangran finally exhaled with determination, and then calmly spoke under Veronica's somewhat curious gaze:
"Yin Er, try to hack to obtain information about the holders who sold the shares of Golden Iris."
