What are stocks?

To put it in terms of definition,

It is a type of marketable security issued by a joint stock company to each shareholder as a shareholding certificate in order to raise funds, so as to obtain dividends and dividends.

It may not be intuitive to say this, but in layman’s terms,

It’s the people who opened joint-stock companies, and they said, ‘Damn it, I’m a business genius of all time, give me another 350 million, and everyone in northwest Shanxi will have an Italian cannon’.

In short, I want to make some money from society to make my business bigger and stronger.

So what is he going to do?

He divided part of the company's ownership into many shares (shares), and then sold part of it to get the money from the buyer.

As evidence of those ownership rights - stocks.

As for why people buy his stock, it is naturally beneficial.

When you buy stocks, it means that you contribute money to the operation of that company, obtain part of the ownership, and become one of the investors (shareholders) of the company.

When the company makes money, for example, Italian cannons are selling well just in time for Resident Evil, and their sales can circle the earth three times a year, so you can naturally share the money.

It's just that most people don't buy stocks for dividends and dividends, and they basically can't wait for that day.

The reason why they buy stocks is just to earn the price difference by buying and selling them.

And this behavior is called stock trading.

These are the basic concepts that Fangran just understood before Veronica came in.

Well, the understanding of the Italian cannon was added by himself...

"That's pretty much it..."

The sliding projection confirmed the information just checked. In response to Veronica's inquiry, Fangran truthfully stated his level of knowledge.

"Although I expected it, it's really at the same level as a baby who has just started to recognize words,"

In response to this, the Queen showed a happy smile that could not detect the sarcasm at all,

"If your understanding has reached this level, it would be more efficient for you to ask me instead of me teaching you systematically."

On the condition that I can use [Chuangpai] to satisfy a small request like black tea, I temporarily condescend to become Fangran's private tutor.

Veronica looked at Fangran with a gentle and kind smile:

"So, what do you want to know?"

I was speechless with her kindergarten teacher-like expression, but I also knew that in front of her, I really might not even be considered a member of the kindergarten class.

Fangran held back his complaints and thought about the key point of his question.

Thinking back to the main content of the meeting just now, which is also the source of the current urgent situation - the plummeting share price of Golden Kite,

While frowning and thinking, Fangran confirmed the information he needed to know first.

“Why will the stock price fall?”

"Why did it fall? Ha..."

Hearing this question that went straight to the core of the current situation, Veronica laughed inexplicably, then raised her silver-gray eyes to look at Fangran,

"There's only one thing you need to remember about this,"

Her smiling teaching words carried the power of a queen.

"Most things in this world are affected by supply and demand, and stocks are no exception."

She expected to hear all kinds of professional terms for analyzing the rise and fall, but Fangran was slightly taken aback by this simple truth.

“When a stock has a certain number of issuances, the more people want to buy it, the higher its price will be; conversely, the more people who want to sell it, the lower its price will naturally be.

"

"What affects investors' enthusiasm is indirect factors such as policies, funds, fundamentals, market environment, banker operations, international situation, etc., including the company's own operating conditions,"

It's like being so familiar that you don't need to think about it, and you explain it casually using simple words used to take care of a child.

Veronica looked at Fangran with a smile for the last time:

"Do you want to listen? It may take some time to explain."

"No thanks."

I am sure that those indirect factors can be talked about until the evening, and I have no choice but to face her knowingly teasing.

Fangran declined without hesitation.

In fact, when he learned about stocks just now, he also saw terms such as preferred stocks and dividend calculation, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Because I learned a precious truth during my tenure as a CEO who was driven away from the market.

That is, as a leader, it is enough for him to only grasp the key overall situation. Many specific and complex details will naturally be taken care of by the people below.

How can I put it this way? I feel like I understand why Veronica seems to be abandoning the shopkeeper.

People really do become what they complain about...

Shaking away the thought of running away, Fangran turned his thoughts back to the present,

After listening to Veronica's explanation, he finally had a clearer understanding of the situation.

The fall in the stock price of Golden Kite means that people don’t want its shares, which means that if there is no problem with the operation of Golden Kite itself,

The Future Consortium influenced people's enthusiasm for investment in Golden Kite through "some indirect factors".

In other words, what I have to do now is to find out and solve it,

What methods did they use to make people unwilling to hold or keep selling their Golden Iris stocks!

"Have you thought of anything?"

"No, I just feel that the problem to be solved is finally more concrete."

Hearing Veronica's curious chuckle as she gradually figured out the situation, it finally didn't solve the general problem of falling stock prices.

Fangran took a breath and answered, now that the target is clear, the next step is how to investigate this.

But this is the most difficult key to this crisis!

Huaqi Bank has mobilized huge financial power in the past few hours, but did not find any abnormalities in the indirect factors that Veronica just gave an example of.

The stock price of Golden Kite suddenly plummeted for no reason. This is the most troublesome part!

If it were Fangran himself, he would have no idea how to investigate, but it doesn't matter, he now has probably the most powerful 'teacher' in the world.

"Is there any way to investigate why the stock was sold off?"

After asking what was on her mind, Fangran looked at Veronica waiting for the answer, and then she picked up the cup of black tea elegantly.

After taking a sip, he smiled to himself and said:

"There's no such way."

Varied...?!

The moment he heard this unexpected answer, Fangran was slightly stunned.

Appreciating his dazed expression, Veronica added with a chuckle:

"To be precise, there is no way to find out the real cause after Huaqi Bank has already conducted a frenzied investigation."

Upon hearing this, Fangran reacted instantly,

Indeed, as a global financial giant, how could Huaqi Bank not do it? It was his turn, an ignorant layman, to try this investigative method.

It does not hire those financial elites with super high annual salaries just to let them drink coffee. They must have tried all existing methods to investigate.

But even so, the reason was not found.

"Is there no other way..."

He understood this situation that left no chance, but Fangran still asked without hope,

And for this sentence, I answered it directly with a joke,

"How about you directly ask those who are selling stocks why they are selling, or send them a questionnaire and try?"

Veronica laughed softly as soon as she finished speaking.

But after hearing her joke, Fangran felt as if he had been reminded. Fangran looked at her and asked in confusion:

"Isn't it okay?"

"Unfortunately, this is not feasible,"

It seemed that he was sorry that his joke was not understood, but he was very tolerant of Fangran's ignorance,

Veronica spoke slowly and elegantly:

"The action of buying and selling has a strong impact on the market. This operating mechanism will only be made public once every three months. The specific time and method are confidential,"

"And in the European and American stock markets, a shareholder's holding ratio of a stock will only be announced to the public if it exceeds 5%,"

Listening to her tell this completely unknown information, Fangran saw Veronica holding black tea with her eyes lowered and smiling:

"So you see tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars of transactions in the financial market every day. Although you can make rough guesses and analyses, you can't really be sure,"

"Who are the people behind those funds?"

After listening to this explanation, after listening to this, it is impossible to find those people who sold stocks, and then directly ask them why.

But Fangran surprisingly did not give up, but instead frowned hesitantly.

Because he understood, he understood what Veronica said, and understood that these were the rules set by people in the financial market.

A 'rule' in reality.

So I hesitated a little bit about my idea, but then I thought that the situation in front of me was extremely critical, and it had reached the final moment with only a few days left.

Fangran finally made up his mind and exhaled, and then calmly spoke under Veronica's curious gaze:
Chapter completed!
