America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 62 16% (Today is really important, please read it)

On January 18, even though the Hassenfeld family desperately protected the market, a large number of media reports still penetrated the confidence of many investors.

At 4 p.m. that day, Hasbro's stock price had fallen by 10% at the close of trading, and experienced two circuit breakers in the middle.

Fortunately, we managed to hold on until the market closed in the afternoon, otherwise the price would have fallen even further.

But where is this? After the news of the "Transformers" movie was announced, Hasbro's stock has continued to grow by 21% in a few months.

In addition, news is now only spread on the Internet, and paper media has not yet exerted its influence. Most of the people who speculate in stocks are office workers, and some people are still relatively unfamiliar with surfing the Internet.

Therefore, the impact has not yet exerted its real power. Wait until tomorrow, and it is foreseeable that Hasbro's stock price will continue to fall.

When the sun rises, newspapers across the United States are delivered to every household one after another. News in the entertainment section has always been the gossip that people love to read during breakfast. The interview about Eric naturally jumped into their eyes.

There is nothing to say. When the New York Stock Exchange opened at 9:30, Hasbro's stock price started to fall again. The stock investors who were holding back on selling yesterday were also panicked.

A few hours later, the dazzling red curve had jumped several times and melted again.

At this time, the stock price has reached $3 per share, almost the same as a few months ago.

At Sweetwater Manor, Eric was lying on the bed enjoying Chloë Sevigny's service.

"Eric, if Sergey Hassenfeld can't find me, he will definitely look for you. I think he should have arrived in Park City. I'm afraid he is looking around for your whereabouts. They are very anxious now."

"Don't worry, dad. I'm hiding in a safe place. He can't find me. Besides, even if he finds me, he can't do anything to me. We are all people with status and status, and we won't be as disrespectful as little gangsters." Follow the rules.”

"Well, anyway, be careful. Now Hasbro's stock price has fallen back to its original point. Even if they continue to follow the rules, I'm afraid they will even want to take advantage of it now."

"Hahaha I'm just a spoiled kid who wants to fulfill his dream of becoming a director. That's what the media says. He should blame the tabloids!"

At this point, Charlie Cooper's voice was a little worried, and he asked tentatively: "By the way, speaking of this, were those interviews of yours a joke? Deliberately released false news?"

Eric knew that no one believed he could be a director. Even his father thought it was just a ploy. After all, normal people would think so.

If there is one person in the world who trusts me unconditionally, it is probably my mother. This lovely woman will support me in everything I do without reservation.

"Of course not, we must do what we say, even if it is really a game, we must play it to the end, otherwise Sergey and Alan will really stab us with knives!"

"But, what are you going to do? After all, it's a $500 million big production. Eric, this is not child's play!"

"Dad, have you forgotten? I have hired an assistant director and several assistants. I am just a name on the set, and they will help me complete it.

The person on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that you have a plan, I won't get involved in the movie aspect. It is expected that Hasbro's stock price will continue to drop a few percentage points tomorrow, but it is almost over. Prepare to close the Internet cafe."

“How much money can we use right now?”

"USD 1.1 billion is already the largest amount. We still need to reserve funds for this year's projects. After all, this money has been invested and will not be effective until at least the end of the year."

"1.1 billion again? This seems to be my lucky number, ouch!"

"Eric, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just a mosquito bite."

"Dad, I'm going to hang up and get ready to fight mosquitoes."

On the other end of the phone was Charlie Cooper's confused voice: "Are there mosquitoes at this time of year?"

"Yes, a very big mosquito."

"Then what did you hit with?"

On January 20, a new round of market opened on the New York Stock Exchange. As expected, Hasbro's stock price continued to fall.

However, today's decline slowed down significantly, and it continued unsteadily. It only fell by 6% at noon, and it seemed that it had hit the bottom.

As time passed by, the rate of decline further slowed down until one o'clock in the afternoon, when it fluctuated like a wavy line. After falling by 6 percentage points, it seemed to have an upward momentum.

Immediately afterwards, the curve began to rise slowly, and half an hour later it rose by 5 percentage points.

Then the upward momentum began to gradually increase. When the time came to three o'clock in the afternoon, Hasbro's stock price had been pulled back to a position close to the original point. The shaking of the curve was almost more exciting than the heart rate chart.

In this situation, it is obvious that someone is protecting the market, and the public naturally thinks of the Hassenfeld family.

Maybe there really are them here, but the Cooper family plays a much bigger role. Charlie Cooper secretly directs how much these retail investors throw, and the current price is much lower than a few days ago.

In just a few hours, he had fired more than $600 million in bullets.

But in the stock market, there is a saying that confidence is more important than gold. After investors’ confidence falls, it is not so easy to come back.

At this time, there are still many retail investors selling, and their thinking is very simple. If I don't sell now, what if the stock price drops again later? Will the market give me a second chance?

And it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and in less than an hour, the market closing time was coming.

And if the stock price continues to fall tomorrow and the main force has run out of bullets, no one will come to protect the market. You may lose a little if you sell now, but you may lose more tomorrow.

So half an hour before the market closed, the graph began to fluctuate rapidly, until nearly four o'clock, Charlie Cooper's funds were completely exhausted.

A total of 1.1 billion US dollars were invested, and Hasbro's stock price was finally pulled back to its original point, and even rose by 2%.

And these US$1.1 billion in stocks, if converted, account for about 16% of Hasbro's market value.

In other words, if the Coopers bring all these scattered stocks into their own hands, the Cooper family is likely to become the second largest shareholder of Hasbro.

As for the issue of paying taxes during the process, of course the method is to adopt the method of donation and use the exemption amount to achieve reasonable tax avoidance.

As the closing bell rang, signaling the end of the stock market game, the Coopers spoke on the phone.

"Don't worry dad, I know, it's time for me to perform again."

"We'll see tomorrow."

Today’s data determines the next round of recommendations, so please be sure to read it, thank you!
