Chapter 46: Earning Iron Man’s Dividends
Everything was just as Kausi said. Despite having a huge team of bodyguards and escorts, and even SHIELD agents participating in the protection in the dark, Tony Stark was still successfully kidnapped by militants.
The US military in Afghanistan tried its best to cover up the news, but it still failed to stop the all-pervasive tabloid reporters. When the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
Thanks to this, Stark Industries' stock continued to fall at a rate of more than 10% per day. Although another shareholder, Obadiah Stane, worked very hard to create good news one after another, it still could not stop stock investors. panic and large-scale capital flight.
There is a new television in the hotel lobby, and Kaus follows the news channels every day. Whenever the fierce blond beauty host announced in a sad and regretful tone, "This is the seventh day since Mr. Tony Stark lost contact", Kausi would grin stupidly and smile. All teeth are exposed.
"If this trend continues, we will probably be able to achieve five times the revenue!"
Matt, who has some knowledge of economics, was also joining in the fun. Although Frank didn't understand much, he still had a smile on his serious face when he heard "five times earnings."
Erica poured a bucket of cold water on her, "Gentlemen, don't be blindly optimistic!"
"The five-fold return that Matt mentioned is based on what Cousins said before, that Stark Industries stock will fall for two consecutive months. If there is a sharp rise in advance, we will earn A lot of the money will go out!”
"No problem! At least two months!"
Kausi raised two fingers, "Although I don't know the specific time, but I remember...well, it's about two months. At most, we will stop early in the sixth or seventh week."
"This is a safe approach!" Erica thought for a while, "It can almost triple the income, so that's it!"
Jin didn't know when he had walked into the hotel door and sat on the high chair with his fat ass squirming, making the poor chair creak.
"Yo, Wilson!"
"Are you shorting Stark Industries' stock?" Hearing only a few brief comments, Kingpin, who has a super high IQ and economic acumen, quickly analyzed the work that everyone was doing.
"Yes!" Kausi said with a smile, "Want to join us?"
"I have missed the best time to enter the market!" Jin Bing is obviously well versed in financial knowledge. "I was unable to exit the market at the highest point. With the current value of Stark Industries' stock, even if it falls for another month or two, there will be no exit. Too much profit – and the market is not going to sit still.”
"Look, this is the real expert!" Erica was very happy to find a confidant. "Mr. Fisk, you can't imagine my life now. I feel that communicating with them is a waste of my life... …”
"Erica, I remember you failed the accounting subject in the first semester!" Matt Murdock, who felt that his IQ was insulted, started to fight back angrily.
A few people laughed and laughed for a while. Kausu struggled to look away from the big-bodied beauty on the TV. "Wilson, why did you come here today? Did you dig something out?"
"Almost! The industrial robot has cut into three or four inches... More than a dozen robots have been scrapped. This is a lot of money!" When mentioning his losses, even the wealthy Jin Bing felt a little pained, "Take a test Us, do you think that keel bone... is really effective?"
"Don't forget, at least five of them belong to me!" Kausi said with a smile, "In addition, I also plan to get an extra paw and put it as a decoration in the hotel!"
"I'll give you all four claws!" Kingpin decisively said boldly, "...do you know how to use that method?"
"Grind bones into powder, drink with warm water... Oh, no!" Kausu glanced at the Punisher quickly and saw that he had not noticed the conversation between him and Jin Bin. After thinking about it, he lowered his voice, "I forgot If the dead person cannot swallow, then you can find a tube and stick it into the stomach and slowly pour it in."
Although Kausi knew that the Hand had a special resurrection ritual, he knew the principle of dragon bone resurrection-using powerful vitality to directly activate dead cells, so the ritual was actually dispensable, and it was nothing more than five fingers. A way to deceive the people below.
"Be sure to remember that keel bones contain very powerful energy. Half a leg bone can reactivate cells all over a person's body. Once you use it too much, it will cause the cells to activate too fast, and eventually..."
"Premature aging?" Kingpin asked tentatively.
"No!" Kausi shook his head, "You can imagine a balloon and fill it with ten times the gas!"
Kingpin was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, keeping Kausu's warning in mind.
He drank the wine in the glass, then pressed the banknotes under the glass, nodded to little Carrie, whose eyes were shining, and then quickly left the hotel.
After Kingpin left, Cauvus looked back at the Punisher and the others and sighed softly.
Everyone present had a loved one die unexpectedly, but obviously, they did not preserve the body in an ice coffin cold storage like Kingpin did. The dragon bone cannot resurrect these people who don't even have corpses. Telling about the dragon bone at this time will bring trouble and sadness to them.
"That's it..." Kausu said secretly in his heart.
Over the next month, two major events occurred at the hotel.
After spending millions of dollars and countless manpower and material resources, Kingpin finally succeeded in opening a small hole, and then personally drilled into the passage and took out the first dragon bone - there was no other person except him Even industrial robots will be burned inexplicably if they can get close to the keel.
Whether out of fear, other desires, or other purposes, the underworld boss actually fulfilled the verbal agreement with Kausi and delivered five copies of the dragon bones and four claws one after another.
The claws are huge, as big as a room. Kingpin disassembled it piece by piece with his own hands, and then drove a truck to deliver it - no way, no one except him can come close to this kind of thing that has been dead for thousands of years and can still emit... Astonishing Longwei stuff.
Then Cauvus stared at the bones filling the entire carriage, dumbfounded.
Dragon Claw is not an Azeroth item and cannot be placed in a backpack.
And if a few rooms are dedicated to storing this stuff, no one would dare to come to the hotel in the future.
"I do have a way, but you have to solve the problem of hiding the aura yourself!" Kingpin saw Kausu's hesitation and proposed his own way.
Hiding aura? That's so... not a problem!
Among the relics of the million lords in the basement, there are not only "dwarf cloaking devices" but also completely unscientific things like "masking potions".
As for the method Jin Bin said - he just bought the long-abandoned three-story building next to the Mulgore Hotel. The money power can have very good results at any time.
The second thing is that at the beginning of the fifth week, Erica brought disappointing news.
"Securities dealers have stopped providing margin financing and securities lending services to Stark Industries!"
"What do you mean?" Kausu asked curiously.
"To short a single stock, the most reliable way at present is to use margin financing through securities firms." Erica explained, "Brokerages are not fools. Stark Industries currently shows no signs of improvement. They know that the stock is still falling, so They will no longer service that stock.”
"Then withdraw!" Matt understood Erica's statement, "How much profit is there now?"
"Nearly three times!"
"Oh, that's a lot of money!" The Punisher thought for a moment, "I think we can find a place to go on vacation now and relax. Matt, do you want to come with us?"
"I think it's not bad!" Matt Murdock also nodded, "Kingpin disappeared recently, so the air in Hell's Kitchen is much cleaner, and I should give myself a holiday!"
Erica and Carrie looked at each other. Erica shook her head first and said, "I've been wandering outside for long enough. I'd rather stay in the hotel than go anywhere."
Jia Li also shook her head quickly, "I don't want to go out!"
Kausu originally wanted to see the bikinis on the beach or experience the exotic customs of Marvel, but he silently considered the few pitiful steel coins in his hand, and then thought of Stark Industries after Iron Man escaped from trouble. His stock was about to experience a surge, but he still gave up his plan to go out and said, "Go ahead and have fun!"
