"I recruited some people …"
Lyme, who worked with Lynch, made a lot of money. Traders and stockbrokers were always the representatives of high-income people in Boston.
Stockbrokers, needless to say, had created countless wealth myths in this era, even if it was just a small stockbroker.
On the busiest street in Boston, there were many legends about how a stockbroker quickly transformed into a CEO of a brokerage company. Even recently, such a scene had happened here — Lyme himself.
The income of a trader was even higher. Generally, a good trader would be charged according to the amount of funds involved in the specific operation.
To be able to become the CEO of such a company, Lyme had successfully reached the peak of his life.
Lynch supported Lyme to start such a company for the purpose of layout in the financial field. He was also a major shareholder of the company.
Secondly, for their own convenience, the traders would sign stricter contracts to ensure that Lynch's interests would not be leaked out due to certain interests.
A lot of "gossip" actually came from traders and brokerage companies. They could always get some information from some employers, such as now.
If someone leaked the news that Lynch was going to short Dan Limore, it was likely to cause some chaos and make Lynch's next plan passive.
He and Lynch talked a lot about the knowledge he had learned in the past year, as well as his views on the career and his own future development. It was obvious that he was very excited.
After living at the bottom of Boston for so long, now that he finally had his own career, it was indeed a great encouragement.
At the end of dinner, Lynch put down his knife and fork. He looked at Lyme. "I know you are curious why I can conclude that Dan Limore will fall …"
Lyme also put down his knife and fork and sat upright. He put his hands on his knees. "Yes, Mr. Lynch, from the current market point of view, the stock of Dan Limore is unlikely to fall …"
He said a lot of evidence to support his views. For example, Dan Limore had a variety of advanced power generation technologies. They also had their own patent barriers. The Megan Financial Group would provide them with convenient conditions in the production and transportation process.
Coupled with the large order they had signed with the Governor of Amelia, no one thought that the stock would plummet. Absolutely not!
However, Lyme had an almost instinctive superstition towards Lynch. This was what made him feel strange and conflicted. He wanted to know why.
Lynch tossed him a cigarette and lit one for himself. A cigarette after a meal made him as happy as a god.
In Lem's eyes, the smoke billowed around Lynch's face, giving his handsome face a mysterious look.
"One last lesson, Lyme. If you've been paying attention to the Federation's financial market, you'll understand that there are actually many manipulators manipulating everything here from behind the scenes."
"Everything that you think is impossible, everything that you think is against the law of the market, they are all manipulated by these masterminds."
"But the practitioners of Bruehn, and even the masterminds themselves, in order to make their actions seem reasonable, they will use professional methods to analyze the reasons and process of these things, and they will call them 'miracles'."
"How can there be so many miracles in this world?"
"It's just some people who have enough power to move the chess pieces outside the chessboard!"
"Why did Dan Limore fall?"
Lynch sneered. His eyebrows were in high spirits. "Because I want it to fall!"
Lyme was shocked by these words, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
Every time there was an abnormal financial phenomenon in Bruehn, people would open various salons to analyze why this abnormal financial phenomenon occurred. He was also one of the participants. He often attended various salons, came into contact with various strange theories, and created his own set of theories.
This was probably the career of most financial practitioners, from ignorance to establishing their own set of systems and believing in their own system until … the moment it was destroyed.
Until now, Lynch's words had been echoing in his mind. "Because I want it to fall."
Yes, yes, this could explain why some inexplicable financial phenomena occurred. Because there were people with financial dominance who wanted to make these miracles happen. They wanted to make a company on the verge of bankruptcy increase its market value by dozens of times in an instant. They wanted to make a company ranked in the top 50 in the Federation with a healthy financial performance to the verge of bankruptcy. They wanted …
Because these people just wanted to do that, the financial market had to give up the original rules of the market to accommodate these people's ideas!
This was the first time he heard this saying, and he also knew that this saying was likely correct. A new world appeared in front of him, making him feel small and excited.
"You … have also reached such a level?"
He even used honorifics at this time.
One had to know that in the Federation, a country that advocated freedom and equality, no one would think that they were inferior to others. Even homeless people would not casually use honorifics to speak to others. They would not think that they were inferior just because they were homeless.
Everyone was equal, this was the spirit of the Federation.
But at this moment, he could not express the shock in his heart without honorifics.
Lynch smiled and blew out a puff of smoke.
Later, little Fox called Lynch to tell him that he was in trouble.
"The board of directors is forcing me to resign …" Before the two of them could exchange pleasantries, little Fox called to ask for help.
His voice was a little bitter. In the past two years, Fox Pictures had been developing very well, especially after filming two movies, "The Adventures of Lynch", and the financial situation was good.
Other than that, the other movies had also done well at the box office, and Fox Pictures had gained a firm foothold.
But this also meant that they were being targeted by many investors. In the Federation, this was quite normal. If your company could make money and had proven your ability to make money, then you had to accept investments or go public.
A company that only wanted to make money on its own would have a narrow path. Only companies that were selfless and willing to make money with others would have a wider path.
About 40% of Fox's shares were held by other investors. Of course, having so many people holding shares in the company was not a loss for the Fox father and son, because these people shared their risk.
But little Fox did not expect that a group of shareholders would start a "rebellion" not long after Mr. Fox was arrested.
They used the reason that "the Fox father and son may be involved in serious tax crimes" as a reason to demand that little Fox resign from his job in the company and transfer it to someone else.
The purpose of this was to protect the positive image of Fox Pictures. After all, even if the father committed a crime, the child might not necessarily be innocent.
A CEO who may be involved in tax crimes would have a negative impact on Fox Pictures, and at the same time, it would attract the attention of the Federation's tax bureau.
There were no problems with these considerations, but they neglected little Fox's ability to accept "emotions".
This was the difference between a "peasant" and a "regular army," or the difference between an ordinary person and a capitalist.
For capitalists, profit came first. As long as it was in everyone's interest, they were willing to do anything, including asking some of them to resign from their jobs in the company. As long as it could bring them benefits or help them avoid losses, they were willing to do it.
But for little Fox, who had climbed up from the bottom and had the cultural heritage of a street gang, this was a blatant betrayal. It was a serious act of harm!
He could not understand, nor could he forgive.
In Lynch's opinion, this was a very immature behavior because the shareholders were right. If the York State Tax Bureau could not find a breakthrough through Mr. Fox, they would very likely find a way to drag little Fox down and force Mr. Fox to bite Lynch.
This was a common practice in the tax bureau. Using friends and family to exert pressure was one of the ways to make people yield.
Once little Fox was involved, there would be rumors of "Fox Pictures being caught in an investigation vortex," which would affect the company's upcoming schedule.
But knowing was one thing. It was the same as knowing that some things were harmful to one's health, wrong, and illegal.
Knowing was knowing, doing was doing.
Considering that Old Fox was still clenching his teeth and persisting, Lynch felt that he should support little Fox.
"Find a time to call for a shareholders' meeting. I'll be there to solve this matter personally …"
Then, he comforted little Fox for a while. Compared to his father, this guy was still a little immature, even though he was already in his thirties.
Not long after the phone call ended, Vivian called.
"The York State Tax Bureau asked me to go back and submit some receipts. Should I go back?"
She was not very worried, but she did not know if she should go back.
Now that she and her children were living in Boston, she was fully responsible for the Blackstone Fund's accounts. Her work in Saibin had actually come to an end.
Lynch's Interstellar Trading Company's accounts had been entrusted to a professional accounting company there. Every account had to be reviewed by Vivian. He did not blindly ask for extreme tax avoidance. That was a very stupid way to do it.
Plus, he was somewhat stubborn about the receipts. He could assure himself that there would be no problems.
But he could not guarantee that there would be no problems. After all, the tax bureau's style was not that strict. They would use all kinds of off-site methods without any psychological burden.
"I'll come over later …"
