As soon as Rogers finished speaking, Soros called him into the office.
“Emergency board meeting of the Lehman Investment Bank Board of Directors.”
Soros's words made Rogers extremely unhappy and depressed.
But time waits for nothing, and before he can complain, the video conference has been connected.
Doug, the chairman of Lehman Investment Bank, is sitting in the center position. The video screen also has several divided small pictures. The people in these pictures are all board members of Lehman Investment Bank who are traveling around the world on business.
Each one of them is a billionaire who stomps his feet to make the earth tremble, a true capitalist.
"President Rogers, you have seen the current situation. I just want to ask you, can you keep Leiman's stock price from falling to the limit?"
Time was running out, so Doug didn't even exchange polite greetings with Rogers and asked straight to the point.
Rogers frowned slightly and said, "From my professional point of view, no."
A vice chairman of Lehman Investment Bank said angrily: "The entire Wall Street capital group has injected hundreds of billions of dollars into you, of which we account for 35%. But you take the tens of billions of dollars we gave you and tell me that the stock price is not even affected."
Can’t keep it even if it drops to the limit!?”
Rogers suppressed his inner anger and disdain and said: "I must explain to you clearly that if I enter the market now, I can indeed save Leiman's stock price, but the price I will pay will be very high."
"The pressure of short orders from Jin Qingtian is only one aspect, but please remember that the biggest force in the capital market is never short or long bookmakers, but hot money!"
"Hundreds of billions of hot money are now fleeing in panic. At this time, if we go to the top, aren't we taking banknotes and throwing them into the fire pit!?"
Rogers suppressed his anger but spoke in a very serious tone, making the atmosphere of the entire video conference seem heavy and awkward.
All the directors had expressionless faces, and no one spoke first to break the silence.
It's not that they were persuaded by Rogers, but that they didn't listen to Rogers' words at all.
Sure enough, as the chairman, Doug looked at Rogers in the video and spoke slowly.
"President Rogers, from your professional perspective, there are indeed many reasons not to take action."
"But from the perspective of our board of directors of Leiman Investment Bank, there are more reasons why you must take action."
"What you see is only the outcome and cost of this game, but what we see is the overall development of the entire Leiman Investment Bank."
Having said this, Doug pressed his hands on the table, stood up slowly, stared down at Rogers with a very aggressive look, and said in a deep voice: "This is not that the board of directors of Leiman Investment Bank is asking for your opinion, but
Do you understand the order that the board of directors of Leiman Investment Bank issued to you as a shareholder of Quantum Fund?"
As soon as these words came out, Rogers suddenly changed his expression.
Even Soros narrowed his eyes.
Soros, a tall man with bright eyes, looked at Doug and said in a deep voice: "Chairman Doug, when Quantum Fund accepted investment from Leiman Investment Bank, you did not say that you would interfere with Quantum Fund's operational decisions."
Doug seemed to have expected Soros's words. He replied calmly: "Similarly, I never said I would not interfere, and I don't think this is interfering with your operational decisions."
"What the Quantum Fund is doing now is to take our money and do things for us. It is both cooperation and employment. But in essence, the vast majority of the funds you have on hand belong to Wall Street capital consortiums, including Leiman.
.”
"Leiman Investment Bank's stock price must not be locked at the limit. This is my bottom line."
Doug seemed to have lost his patience, slapped his hand on the conference table, and said with a cold expression: "The combined size of the ten quantum funds is not as big as Leiman. Now Leiman's stock price has shrunk further, and what has been lost is
It’s far beyond your imagination, you just need to follow the orders of the board of directors!”
