There are not many people who still like to read newspapers these days.
Philip is one of them.
Seeing Charlie come downstairs, he immediately smiled and waved at him, and said with a smile: “Charlie, come!”
“OK Uncle.” Charlie replied and walked over.
On the sofa, he sat beside Philip.
Philip handed him the newspaper in his hand, smiled and said, “Look at the front page.”
Charlie took the newspaper and looked at the front page headline. There was a big line on it: “The chairman of the Gu Group is critically ill, and the Trillion Group may have no leader.”
Charlie couldn’t help but frowned, and said, “This newspaper is too irresponsible, right?”
Philip smiled slightly and said, “This must be the ghost of my two younger brothers. First let out the news that I am critically ill, and then let the stockholders and the market lose confidence in the Gu Group, and ask the securities institutions to lower their share price and Performance expectations, in that case, the Gu Group’s share price will inevitably trigger a decline.”
While speaking, Philip looked at his watch and smiled: “It’s half past eight, and there’s still an hour to open. By that time, the stock prices of all listed companies under the Gu Group will surely fall sharply, or even directly limit.”
Charlie couldn’t help frowning: “Uncle, they are also shareholders of the Gu Group. By doing this, isn’t it a loss of their own interests?”
Philip shook his head and smiled: “For major shareholders, it doesn’t matter if the stock price drops a bit.”
After speaking, Philip explained: “Look, if the stock price drops because of the news that I am seriously ill now, the most anxious ones are retail investors and small shareholders. Seeing that they have less money, they will definitely come through various channels. Express dissatisfaction;”
“And the stock price falls because I am seriously ill. This pot is definitely for me to carry, so when the time comes, they can better incite other shareholders to force me to give way, because now the market is not at ease with me, only I gave way so they could breathe a sigh of relief.”
“Once they successfully achieve their goals and kick me out of the board of directors, the stock price will rise back in time, so for the two of them, there is basically no actual loss. This trick is called killing with a knife.”
