Chapter 123 Someone is causing trouble



Let Brigitte Lin wait for her at home, while Xu Luo went to see Han Xiangdong and bought some food on the way.

Knocked on the door.

There was a rustling sound in the house, and then the door opened.

"Xu Sheng, please come to the room." Axiang invited Xu Luo to the room very respectfully and politely.

Xu Luo glanced at her and said with a smile: "You look very good. This is the breakfast I bought for you."

"Thank you Xu Sheng for your concern." Axiang took the meal bag, "Last night was the best night I slept."

Xu Luo asked again: "How is your brother?"

"There is nothing serious about him." Axiang replied, "He is in the living room now."

Before they even entered the living room, Han Xiangdong had already come out to greet him, "Xu Sheng, thank you for saving me. If I hadn't met you, our brother and sister would probably still be on the run."

"You're welcome." Xu Luo looked at him, "Shall we go to the balcony to chat?"

"Okay." Han Xiangdong nodded.

The two got up and came to the balcony.

Han Xiangdong handed Xu Luo a cigarette. Xu Luo shook his head and asked straight to the point: "What are your plans for the future? Stay in the United States or return to China?"

"I plan to take my sister home." Han Xiangdong lit a cigarette. "My mother has been worried about her. She is not in good health now. I don't know how long she can last, so we want to go back."

"How many people did you kill last night?" Xu Luo asked again.

Han Xiangdong said: "Twenty-two, from the smuggler to the madam, all were killed in one blow. There is absolutely no possibility of survival. As long as they have bullied my sister, I have no reason to let them go."

He looked at Xu Luo with a dull expression, "Is Xu Sheng here to persuade me to surrender or to arrest me and put me in jail?"

Xu Luo has never really observed this person.

Because the first impression this person gives is that he is very ordinary, so ordinary that he might be forgotten when he walks into a crowd.

"I'm not from the law enforcement department." Xu Luo said seriously, "If such a big thing happens, it will be difficult for you to leave New York."

Han Xiangdong smiled and said: "I don't find it difficult. Xu Sheng, you are a great scholar. We will not drag you down."

"You know me?" Xu Luo raised his eyebrows.

"I have read your reports in San Francisco before, and I also met you with my own eyes." Han Xiangdong said, "I just didn't expect you to save my sister."

After a pause, he added: "Maybe we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

"There's not much I can do to help you." Xu Luo took out a paper bag, "There's a little money in it for your living expenses on the road."

Han Xiangdong was silent for a moment, then reached out to take it, "Thank you very much. I will repay Xu Sheng's kindness when I send my sister back."

"I wish you a safe journey." Xu Luo didn't know what to say, so he could only say this.

Then he said goodbye and left. In the afternoon, he heard from Jerome that the Han Xiangdong brother and sister had disappeared, and the room was even cleaner than before.

In fact, Jerome also saw the report, and he was worried that Han Xiangdong was the killer and would implicate himself.

But he didn't expect that the two people left so cleanly, and he didn't even know when they left.

The Chinatown case was quickly overshadowed by another case.

At 22:49 on December 8, 1980, former Beatles member John Lennon was shot dead by fan Mark David Chapman in front of his apartment in Manhattan, USA. He was only 40 years old, and the whole world was shocked.

The murderer is a psychopath.

The next morning, Wen Xun was surrounded by people who came to express their condolences and the apartment building was surrounded by water.

Many girls held up their idols with tears streaming down their faces, and they were in agony.

No matter what happens, no matter whether you like it or not, life always pushes people forward.

Moreover, people’s joys and sorrows are not the same.

Xu Luo didn't pay much attention to this matter. He took the time to open accounts at several well-known securities companies.

December 12.

As soon as Apple went public, several securities companies helped him buy Apple shares frantically in the primary market.

As long as the cost is sufficient, there is no limit on the trading unit of U.S. stocks, and you can buy or sell any amount.

Anyway, he is not writing off on the same day, so he does not need to care about the trading rules.

When Apple's 4.6 million public shares were sold out, all the shares were added up to reach a total of 500,000 shares.

In the afternoon, Apple's stock price closed at $29 per share.

But these are issued shares, not original shares.

Xu Luo is even more interested in the 11.3% original shares owned by Jobs.

He planned to wait until Steve Jobs was driven out of Apple before buying the original shares held by Steve Jobs.

When Jobs left Apple, he owned approximately 6.5 million shares, approximately 11.3% of Apple's shares.

When the price was relatively good, Jobs immediately liquidated a large amount of his stock holdings, and after returning to the company, he only held less than 1% of Apple shares.

What's more, things haven't always been smooth sailing for Apple. At its worst, it was almost acquired by Sony.

Although many things have been changed, Xu Luo does not think he can change the direction of Steve Jobs being driven out of Apple.

Milken called on the 9th and expressed his willingness to take over the business.

So Xu Luo and Henry went to Milken's company to sign the agreement.

Except for the Lennon case, nothing particularly big happened in the following time. The Chinatown case seemed to have been forgotten.

Until the end of December, we had not heard that the Han Xiangdong brother and sister had been arrested and brought to justice.

Brigitte Lin stayed in New York for a month and went back after spending Christmas and New Year's Day with Xu Luo.

Xu Luo has been paying close attention to the fundraising progress of Jerome and others.

After nearly a month of hard work, these people have raised a total of 5 billion US dollars.

Among them, US$3 billion are junk bonds from Milken.

It can be seen that Milken was indeed able to raise a large amount of funds in half a month. It is indeed not an exaggeration to be called the "King of Junk Bonds".

After the funds were raised, Xu Luo began to take action against Continental Oil.

1981 finally arrived.

New Year's Day is over.

The 5th was Monday, and just ten minutes after the New York Stock Exchange opened, traders suddenly realized something was wrong.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Because the stock price of Continental Petroleum has been rising.

It instantly rose from yesterday's closing price of $50 to $55.

However, this price was just a flash in the pan, and it rose to 60 US dollars in almost less than a minute.

It’s completely a straight-line trend.

This scene caused countless traders and stock investors to be stunned, watching the price of mainland oil soar like a rocket.

And it didn’t stop when it reached 60 US dollars, and continued to soar, all the way to 65 US dollars.

Showing a rare bull market trend.

Anyone who knows about this industry will know that big money has entered.

The trading in the stock market is to buy when falling and sell when rising.

Seeing the price rise so high all of a sudden, selling orders immediately emerged crazily.

Buying orders followed, and no matter how much was sold, they were all bought in large quantities.

The stock price was like a wild horse running wild. The stock price started at US$65, and was driven all the way up by the fierce buying orders, and soon exceeded US$70.

Continental Petroleum also saw that someone was up to something, and it must be a hostile takeover.

So immediately come up with an anti-takeover strategy.

The stock price rose again, reaching $75.

Such a soaring speed made the market trading hot, with large sell orders constantly being placed, but they soon disappeared amid the frenzied buying.

Many big companies are also attracted by this scene.

Those who speculated in the stock market also made a lot of money.

Under Continental's anti-takeover strategy, the stock price remained stable at $72 per share until the afternoon's close.

Just after the market closed, a company called [ACC] publicly announced that it currently holds 14.5% of the shares of Continental Petroleum Company and requested to join the board of directors of Continental Petroleum Company.
