Chapter 315 Nike's move
ish Chapter 315 Nike's move
The two instigators of FBI were named John Bock and the other was named Juan Wilsk. These two were from the FBI Economic Investigation Office and went straight to the topic after introducing themselves.
"Mr. Brown, you started to buy three Chinese Internet technology stocks listed on Nasdaq on December 21 last year. In just one month, you bought 8 million shares of Sina, 14 million shares of Sohu, and 9 million shares of NetEase. You can tell us why you chose to buy stocks of these three companies at that time, and you were investing in these three stocks on a large scale." The extremely handsome John Bock began to ask.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I thought FBI was looking for me. If it was just a matter of stocks, I could blow it hard for a while.
"The Internet bubble has been in the long run. Since March 2000, the Nasdaq index has been falling. It has been nearly three years since the fall. Internet technology stocks that have no substantial content and lack vitality have basically been eliminated. The companies that can survive now are either strong financial strength or extremely tenacious vitality. For an investor, the stocks of these companies that have been left behind are definitely more tempting than gold. Since 10 in 2002, the Nasdaq index has been rising again. I feel that the market should be almost the same, so I decided to buy some stocks." I replied lightly.
"Then why did you choose these three stocks from China? There are more than 100 Internet technology stocks in the United States. Why did you buy these three Chinese stocks?" John Bock asked immediately.
"Is there any problem?" I was a little disgusted with John Bock's chatter, and I asked back.
"On the third day when you stopped buying these three stocks, that is, on January 17, 2003, these three companies had annual financial statements at the same time. And it is very coincidental that the financial statements of these three companies turned losses into profits at the same time. Their performance reversed the embarrassment in the past two years. I hope you can give us a sufficient reason, otherwise we have reason to suspect that you are related to an insider trading case!" John Boktu was exhausted, and a crazy feeling appeared in his eyes, as if he wanted to tell me: boy, be honest, otherwise you will suffer.
"Mr. Bock, if you have any evidence to prove that I am related to an insider trading case, please show evidence, otherwise I will sue you for false accusation!" I counterattacked coldly.
"False accusation?" John Bock suddenly slapped the record-making part on the table and said sternly: "Is this accusation? If you buy the three Chinese Internet technology stocks that no one can understand, the financial statements of these three companies will immediately change. Please tell me if there is any suspicion of insider trading. If there is no insider trading, then please tell me how you know that the financial situation of these three stocks will improve?"
"My reason has been told! If it arouses your suspicion, I can only tell you that all this is a coincidence," I shouted loudly.
"Who is the one who believes you! Go out and tell me who will believe that there is no insider trading here? Without insider trading, how can you accurately grasp the time and content of these three companies' annual reports!" John Bock screamed loudly.
"I have no connection with China. Do you think I can know these insider trading from? Where can I know? Can I predict the future? Or do I have a clairvoyance to see things thousands of miles away? Please tell me how can I know the insider of these companies?" I was so angry that I finally knew Ivanka? What are the crooked tricks of these big companies that Trump said.
"Mr. Brown, we have investigated. We know that you have a coach who teaches you Chinese Kung Fu. Although we don't know what this person looks like and where he is now, he does exist! We suspect that he informed you to buy stocks in these three companies! I hope you can cooperate with our investigation..." Juan Wilsk, who has always been alive, suddenly spoke.
"Don't you go bad! My coach has long been running away. I haven't seen him for nearly ten years. If you have the ability, you can find evidence of our contact! If you don't have any evidence, don't slander me!" I was a little angry. My Chinese Kung Fu teacher was all made up by me, and this can also become evidence of my participation in insider trading. This is simply ridiculous.
"Mr. Brown, the clear one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid. If we don't have enough evidence, we will not come to you. We come to you because we have found some evidence, which is very unfavorable to you. They..." Juan Wilsk, who looked gentlemanly, tried to induce confessions, but he didn't know that my affairs were completely usurped. How could there be any evidence for the things we compiled? They were completely wrong to pay attention.
"If there is evidence, go and sue me! I'm here, I'll wait for you!" I said coldly.
"Mr. Brown, don't be excited, we just..." Juan Wilsk tried to say something again, but his words were interrupted by my extremely charming and extremely intelligent lady:
"Two, why are you two standing here? I and you all know very well that this time the matter is indeed wrong. Please go back and tell Mr. Philip Knight that we will pay the penalty for liquidated damages according to the contract, but please do not harass us in this way. If you really think we have any criminal facts, please submit it to the court and we will appear at the court on time." Ivanka Trump's face did not have any expression, and his tone was also very plain, but every word she said was filled with a hint of murderous aura.
Juan Wilsk and John Bock looked at each other, and after a while, Juan Wilsk turned his head and said, "I don't know what Miss Ivanka is talking about. We don't know who you are talking about is Mr. Philip Knight? We are just ordered to investigate the insider trading case in the securities market, and that's all!"
"Two gentlemen, do you know? I started playing stocks at the age of 8. I have the qualifications as a senior analyst in North America. I am familiar with all legal systems in the securities industry. All insider trading cases are investigated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Securities Industry Self-Discipline Association. I could not think of a small insider trading case that requires labor. "Ivanka Trump directly pointed out their absurdity.
"Because this insider trading case involves companies from China, which has a crucial connection with national security, and we need..." John Bock tried to explain, but facing Ivanka Trump, who had seen the big scene, obviously they are not opponents.
"If we really threaten national security, then it shouldn't be your Economic Investigation Office. Isn't your main responsibility to investigate business issues? You shouldn't be responsible for national security!" Ivanka Trump asked back.
"It seems that the two of you are not very cooperative, so let's disturb you again the other day!" Juan Wilsk and John Bock looked at each other, then stood up and said.
"You two are walking slowly, don't send me off!" Ivanka Trump said coldly.
The two people from FBI left, but Ivanka Trump frowned, as if he was worried about something. I walked over and hugged Ivanka Trump and said softly in her ear: "Baby! Thank you! You are so awesome!"
"Oh!" Ivanka Trump sighed softly, and then said, "Dear, you are in trouble!"
"Yeah?" I know there is some trouble, but wasn't it solved just now? Is it good if we pay the liquidated damages?
"Phillip Knight is here to give us a warning to make us smarter, otherwise you will freeze your securities account in the name of assisting in investigating insider trading cases, leaving your hundreds of millions of stocks unable to move for a long time!" Ivanka Trump said softly.
Ah? Philip Knight sent these two people to say these words, and I didn't expect that it would mean anything.
"What should we do?" I was anxious and asked Ivanka Trump anxiously.
"Now your securities account cannot move in a short period of time. Once it moves, there will be a certain profit. This will confirm your insider trading in one aspect. Once an investigation is conducted, it will not be a year or two years. I, let me see if my father can contact Philip Knight to talk. If you cannot compromise, you can only withdraw from the company you just established, otherwise you can only watch your hundreds of millions of assets be completely frozen!" Ivanka Trump said slowly.
"What do you mean? Are you saying Philip Knight wants to force me to quit the company. If I would rather be frozen by him than quit the company, would he adopt a more radical approach?" I frowned.
"He will force you to withdraw from the NBA, so that your influence among fans will be reduced quickly, thereby reducing the influence of your company, and then slowly cleaning up your company." Ivanka Trump looked up at me, his tone filled with cruelty.
"It's not just you who are smart people in this world, it's not just you who see the huge market for low-priced basketball shoes. Many people have seen it. Someone has tried your ideas, but unfortunately, they were eventually kicked out of the league, their company went bankrupt, and they basically ended up with nothing."
"Business competition, although there is no bloody sacrifice in war, its cruelty is absolutely no less than that in war. Kwame, I hope you will consider this matter carefully and discuss it with John Stockton and others to close the company! There is no need for you to take this risk at all. You are all millionaires and billionaires, why bother to take such a big risk?" Ivanka Trump persuaded me gently.
I frowned and thought about the pros and cons...
