Marvel's Great Old Ones

Chapter 66: Stock fight

"How did you go with the thing I gave you?" On the top floor of the Osborne Group Building, Li Xiu sat solemnly on a chair for the first time, resting his chin on his hands, his face hidden in the dim light.

Norman was sitting across from him. He wanted to open the curtains behind him, but he didn't know how to speak without being beaten up by Li Xiu, who cosplayed as a gangster.

"The acquisition has been completed, costing more than 7 million US dollars. About % of Stark Group's shares have been acquired by us. However, Stark Group's stock price continues to fall."

"People from the Municipal Supervision Bureau have begun to restrict transactions, and some large shareholders are still waiting and watching. They can only receive so much for the time being, and the rest are scattered stockholders."

Li Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

The massive harvest during the time when Stark was kidnapped is probably the starting point for most of the protagonists who travel through Marvel to make their fortunes.

After all, the advantage of foresight is a perfect match in this plot. As soon as Stark returns, it will be just picking up money from the ground.

Now more than half a month has passed since Tony Stark was kidnapped. Li Xiu has been buying up shares of Stark Group with his own account. Those investors are rushing to sell the stocks as if they have seen a savior. he.

However, even after this period of decline, Stark Group's stock price is still very high, after all, the fundamentals are there.

Li Xiu collected 500 million from Norman, 50 million from Jishitang, and "borrowed" 200 million from other people he "rescued", plus the more than 20 million he had left. , a total of more than 770 million.

Even if this money catches up with the sharp drop in the stock price, coupled with various coercion and inducement methods, it will still get 7% of the shares from the Stark Group.

However, he has become the fourth largest shareholder of Stark Group, and the largest shareholder is still Tony Stark, who holds 34.7% of the shares.

No one within the Stark Group knows the specific information about the second largest shareholder. He has never participated in the management of the Stark Group, and his shareholding ratio has never changed. He has always held 30% of the shares.

However, the so-called second largest shareholder Li Xiu knew that he was actually S.H.I.E.L.D., and the certificate of ownership had always been in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., and was handed over to S.H.I.E.L.D. by Howard Stark himself.

The third largest shareholder is Obadiah Stane, Tony Stark's uncle, who holds 11.3% of the shares, and the second real manager of the Stark Group.

It is worth mentioning that Obadiah Stan has been committed to acquiring shares of Stark Group, and he once wanted to find the mysterious second shareholder, but in the end his outstretched hands and feet were cut off.

And the only manager of the Stark Group is actually the assistant who has always been with Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, known as "Pepper Little Pepper".

In addition to these three major shareholders, Li Xiu holds the fourth position with 7%. The remaining stocks are all held by market investors such as 0.003% and 0.004%.

Obadiah Stan originally held 10% of the shares. During this acquisition, he had been tit for tat with Li Xiu. In the end, he was defeated due to insufficient liquidity and only acquired 1.3% of the shares held by stray investors.

The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two people in the stock market has also given confidence to some investors who hold Stark Group stocks, allowing them to still wait and see the chaos in Stark Group's stocks.

It was at this time that Stark Group's stock price fell severely, otherwise the US$770 million in funds would have been nothing compared to the Stark Group's stock price of more than US$240 billion.

Norman actually didn't understand why Li Xiu was eager to acquire shares of Stark Group, even if he insisted on acquiring shares after a few days, the stocks would fall.

What made him even more confused was that someone would actually compete with Li Xiu to acquire Stark Group shares.

"Next, I will continue to acquire the shares of the Stark Group. I will also bring out the scattered stocks. If you don't have enough funds, you can put them aside first. If it doesn't work, just buy them in the name of the Osborne Group."

Li Xiu's tone was very serious. How could Norman, who had been deeply immersed in the concept of the Cthulhu Mythos, refuse? He could only pray that the remaining two hundred million yuan would be enough to support the completion of the acquisition.

Norman is busy acquiring stocks, and Li Xiu is also thinking about when SHIELD will come to ask for help to rescue Tony Stark.

This rescue of Stark is almost the best opportunity for him and Tony to have a good relationship.

As long as this life-saving grace is in hand, the portable Ark reactor is almost half obtained.

If it weren't for the last moment, there would be no need for him to conflict with these superheroes, especially when he was still in the American universe.

Provoking a superhero in this universe full of American heroism is no different than poking a hornet's nest. This kind of situation can be regarded as a different kind of beating the young one, and the old one is coming. .seven

Unless necessary, it is better not to come into contact with those guys, otherwise they will be annoyed to death even if they are not killed.

In order to cater to Stark's concept of peace, Li Xiu has now begun to focus on maintaining the security of Hell's Kitchen, the kind of maintenance he received through Jishitang and handed over to the police station.

After Li Xiu's chaotic repairs, the security of Hell's Kitchen began to improve rapidly during this period.

Just in time for those gangs to compete for territory in other districts, Hell's Kitchen's security suddenly leapt to the best in New York, making the police and officials in those districts ashamed.

Those who are gangsters do not dare to provoke Jishitang, which relies on rectification of order and has a great reputation. There are many disadvantages. Those who have been punished by Jishitang have malicious intentions towards Jishitang, which has begun to clean up.

Unlike Li Xiu who is peaceful and comfortable, Nick Fury can be said to be in a state of distress now.

Ever since he talked to Li Xiu and learned that most of the people in SHIELD were from Hydra, he now felt that there was something wrong with everyone he looked at. It could be said that he was suspicious and nervous.

Nick Fury's office in the Trident Building, Coulson's latest rescue report about Tony Stark was delivered to Nick Fury's desk.

"There is still no news. The military sent fighter jets and helicopter gunships to search everywhere in the desert, but only found a few armed strongholds of terrorist organizations on the edge."

"The military has negotiated with those terrorist organizations and has not received any information about Stark. Those strongholds have been wiped out."

Coulson reported on the recent actions of the U.S. military in Afghanistan. These news came from people placed in the military by SHIELD.

This kind of situation of placing spies and secret sentries is normal. Those forces are not sending people to each other.

They say they are spies, but they are actually just transmitting the news. For example, if the military hadn't deliberately relaxed restrictions, SHIELD wouldn't have been able to get the military's specific action information so easily.

Those in the military were asking for help, asking for help from organizations like SHIELD, the FBI, and the CIA. Those in the military were not familiar with this kind of search operations.

The search and rescue operation lasted for nearly half a month and consumed countless manpower, material and financial resources. Some people were already starting to have opinions.

Moreover, not everyone hopes that Tony Stark can return safely. Arms dealers, mainly Hammer Industries, are constantly making small moves behind the scenes, trying to hinder the normal development of search and rescue operations.

"Have our spies sent any relevant information, confirming that it was Tony Stark who was kidnapped and even killed by that organization?"

Nick Fury rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. During this period, he had been confirming whether what Li Xiu said was true or false.

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., he couldn't be casually affected by what a person said suddenly. But the stakes were so high that the only one he could trust was himself.

It's a pity that after more than a month of secret exploration, he really found a lot of things in S.H.I.E.L.D.

Now when I have a headache, I heard the bad news that Tony Stark was kidnapped.

Tony Stark is a partner of the US military and the helmsman of the behemoth Stark Group. It is impossible to give up the search.

Even if he is dead, he must find his body and take revenge.

Nick Fury knows that the most important thing is that Tony is the founder and founder of SHIELD, the son of Howard Stark.

SHIELD must make a statement on this matter. You must know that the once legendary female agent Peggy Carter, who served as the director of SHIELD, is still there. Regardless of the estimated interests or connections, SHIELD cannot escape its efforts. share.

"Unfortunately, sir, we don't have any information about that organization. Those people act secretly. At this time, we can only find a way to find Mr. Stark in the desert of Afghanistan."

"Is there any other news about Stark?" Nick Fury finished flipping through the documents and looked at Coulson standing opposite.

"News? What do you mean?"

Isn’t all the military’s information there? Coulson didn't realize what the news was for a moment.

"Any news about what happened to Stark, whether it's the reactions or actions of those who knew him," Nick explained.

"I want to know who will benefit the most from what happened to Stark."

Coulson thought for a while, organized his words and said: "Regarding the situation after the Stark Group's accident, those who are also arms dealers with Stark, except the Osborne Group, are trying to prevent the search and rescue operation from being carried out."

"As for Stark Group, Mr. Stark's assistant is trying to stabilize the situation of Stark Group. Mr. Obadiah, the executive president of Stark Group, is acquiring shares of Stark Group and claiming to be a To stabilize the stock price.”

"It is understandable that the Osborne Group remains silent on this matter. Although both parties are one of the major arms dealers in the military, the Osborne Group focuses on biochemical industry and has no direct conflict of interest with the Stark Group. "

"Is there any other news?" Nick Fury squinted his eyes. He felt that there must be some problem among these people that was directly related to this incident.

"Have--"

Colson recalled the information he had just seen and replied: "Mr. Obadiah's recovery of stocks did not go smoothly. Most of Stark Group's stock trading orders were given by Mr. Li before the Market Supervision Bureau entered the market. Take it.”

"Mr. Li?"

"It's Mr. Li Xiu from Hell's Kitchen who has extraordinary power." Colson explained and said: "Recently, his bank account information shows that many large amounts of funds were transferred to him from different accounts and addresses. account."

"I asked someone to track the flow of his funds and found that he had entrusted approximately 750 million to the planning department of the Osborne Group for the purpose of acquiring shares of the Stark Group."

"Prepare the vehicle, I want to see Li Xiu." Nick Fury stood up. He happened to have some questions about Hydra within SHIELD and wanted to ask Li Xiu, and it seems that Li Xiu has been doing a lot recently. , and actually got in touch with a behemoth like the Osborne Group.

Nick Fury suddenly thought that he had relaxed too much about Li Xiu, who had mastered extraordinary power during this period.

Nick Fury's eyes flashed, what role did that guy play in this matter...
