Chapter 4228: What Is Lost Will Be Earned Back Next Year
No dividends! This moment shocked many shareholders. The 'Second World' just announced its second quarter financial report. Compared with the same period last year, profits in the second quarter increased by 13.2%, with net profits reaching US$3.8 billion! This is a very impressive figure. For the whole year, the annual net profit will exceed US$15 billion. If we want to pay dividends, we can get at least US$21 per share!
That’s $21! According to the minimum shareholder holding 100 shares on site, he can also receive a dividend of US$2,100! The bonus this year is $2,100, which is really high. Moreover, it can be expected that in the future, the profits of the ‘second world’ will continue to rise. In the next few years, annual profits may reach tens of billions of dollars.
But if Lin Feng didn't pay dividends, they would be dumbfounded. This, the stock held in the hand has really become money on paper. Because if you don’t sell it, it’s completely meaningless. Always just a number in your hand. If they pay dividends, the interest they receive every year will also allow them to enjoy their life. For those shareholders who hold more than 1,000 shares, if the dividends are distributed based on this year's profits, they will have a profit dividend of US$21,000.
US$21,000 is enough for them to live carefree in the United States for a year, and they can occasionally travel alone. This is the price level in the United States. But now that Lam Feng is saying that he will not pay dividends and will not pay dividends in the next few years, this is a bit life-threatening.
Seeing many retail shareholders looking thoughtful, Lin Feng smiled slightly.
"Everyone, there is another question. Have you ever thought about it? Although 'Second World' is the company with the highest market value in the world, with a current market value of 420 billion US dollars, it is the first company in the world to break through 400 billion US dollars, but this time it broke through 4,000 US dollars. Is it normal for the stock price to drop by a hundred yuan? This is someone behind the scenes. After this wave, the stock price will inevitably fall. So, are you prepared to see the stock price drop by a hundred yuan? I like to go around and talk directly.”
Lin Feng thought about his words for a moment.
"I hope you can sell your stocks and exchange them for cash to help Wall Street stockbrokers and prevent them from going to jail! Of course, the reason why I ask you to do this is not only because I promised them to help them waive their bills, but also Let them promote my upcoming 'Bitcoin', and I also hope that everyone can make some money through this in the past few years," Lin Fengxiao said, "If we can't pay dividends in the past few years, then the stocks in our hands are like a blank piece of paper. . So, everyone can cash out and get some real benefits!”
Many retail shareholders, look at me and I look at you, they are all a little confused. Lin Feng's words made them a little confused about their choice. They do not want to sell the shares of Second World, because the market is now saying that the stock price of Second World will rise in the future, and may even become the first company in the world with a market value exceeding one trillion US dollars.
Trillions of dollars, what a concept. The stock price will more than double what it is now. The market value of the stocks in their hands will be more than double what it is now.
In this case, they were a little reluctant to sell their shares. Although it was proposed by Lin Feng, this does not mean that they must follow Lin Feng's words and sell the stocks.
They are just ordinary retail investors. The vast majority of people here are blue-collar, or ordinary working-class people. Their sources of livelihood are limited. If the stock price of the 'Second World' can continue to rise, they will run out of money one day and sell again. Then they can harvest the richest 'pot of gold' in their lives. Basically, as long as there is no particularly serious disaster, they can solve any trouble they encounter in life.
Therefore, they are unwilling to sell!
Seeing this, Lin Feng glanced at Schwarzenegger beside him.
"Hello fellow Californians, hello to all of you who are not Californians!" Schwarzenegger walked out.
'Future Warrior'! Only now did everyone notice Schwarzenegger beside Lin Feng. It's not that Schwarzenegger was not seen when everyone came in. But at that time, all eyes and attention were attracted by Lin Feng. Although they saw Schwarzenegger out of the corner of their eyes, they did not recognize this 'future soldier' on the Hollywood screen, the governor of California.
"Hello, everyone!" Schwarzenegger laughed, "Nice to see you here. As the governor of California, I welcome you all to the Windy City."
The crowd burst into applause. Almost all Americans like Schwarzenegger. After all, he has no negative news, and his image of a tough guy on the screen is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the past few years when he was in power in California, Schwarzenegger, although he did not have many political achievements, has made California's public security extremely good, and everyone feels extremely safe in California. Even in the slums of some big cities, security is much better now.
Although drug trafficking, prostitution, gang activities, and theft continue, murders and shootings have dropped significantly. While Schwarzenegger was focusing on public security, he also listened to Lin Feng's opinions. For those thefts, the police's enforcement capabilities are the same as in the past. If you can, catch them. If you can't, don't use too much police power to investigate. However, the most severe crackdown is on extremely egregious criminal activities such as gun homicides. This is what is called catching the big and letting go the small. After all, gun murders have a great impact on ordinary people.
So, after this round of crackdown, the public security in California has obviously improved. If you go in and out of the slums occasionally, you will be robbed at most, but your life will not be in danger. Unlike before, various shootings in the slums were almost commonplace.
"Everyone, I am here to tell you one thing, that is, please use your brain to think carefully about what is best for you. Instead of listening to the instigation of some newspapers or some people and doing some foolish things." Schwarzenegger said loudly, "I am the governor of California. What I hope for California is peace, tranquility, and prosperity, and this requires the efforts of every Californian!"
Everyone fell into silence. They were thinking about what they could do to benefit themselves the most.
Lin Feng frowned. Everyone looked like this, and it seemed that they were still influenced by the venture capital companies on Wall Street. They all believed that the stock price of "Second World" would continue to rise. If they sold it at this moment, they would lose money. So, they still held it tightly.
Lin Feng could understand their mentality, but he could not accept it. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the current stock price of the "Second World" is inflated. At $600, the market value exceeds the $400 billion mark. Is this possible? In the absence of absolutely good news and profits for the "Second World", such a high stock price is too high. And these people actually believe that the market value of the "Second World" will actually break the trillion US dollar mark, which is too outrageous.
If the market value of the "Second World" wants to break the trillion US dollar mark, its stock price must reach $1428.6. $1428.6 is undoubtedly the highest stock price in the world today. This is even more incredible.
Of course, in the long run, the "Second World" may really reach the trillion US dollar mark one day, but that is definitely not now, let alone in just a few years. In the past few years, Lin Feng will never distribute dividends, and there will never be any diversion of funds to affect the development of the "Second World". Therefore, these stockholders might as well take the opportunity to sell and make a fortune. If you are really optimistic about the "Second World" and want to wait for it to break the trillion US dollar mark, it is better to buy it back after the stock price correction this time.
After all, the stock price of the Second World will definitely fall back after this. The stock price of any company is volatile. It is impossible to keep rising, and there will be cyclical fluctuations. Especially when it is attacked by the outside world, the stock price will fluctuate more.
This time, from Lin Feng's point of view, the stock price of the Second World will fall back between 70 and 100 US dollars. Although this will instantly lose billions of dollars, or even tens of billions of dollars in market value, this is reasonable. The higher the stock price, the better. If the stock price is too high, it will sometimes make the company fall into blind and unprecedented optimism. Too much optimism often means failure.
Fortunately, Lin Feng is also prepared for the current situation of these retail shareholders.
"Everyone, I have an agreement here. I am willing to sign a share transfer agreement with you, allowing you to transfer your shares to me, and then after the stock price drops to a certain price, you can buy it back." Lin Feng said loudly.
"What! Lin, if you do this, aren't you giving them money!" Schwarzenegger exclaimed.
Let them sell at a high price, Lin Feng buys at a high price. Then allow them to buy at a low price, and Lin Feng to sell at a low price, isn't this just a pure loss of money! This is something that only idiots would do. Isn't it too stupid for such a brilliant business genius like Lin Feng to do such a thing? ! Schwarzenegger couldn't believe it.
"Governor, I have no choice. You know, if these people don't sell their stocks, those Wall Street stockbrokers will go to jail, and the number of people in jail will exceed 50,000. Do you think California can afford it?" Lin Feng asked.
Schwarzenegger shook his head helplessly. This is naturally not possible. If so many people really go to jail, let alone overcrowded prisons, the entire California economy will suffer a heavy blow, and Wall Street will also be a headache. Although Wall Street is in New York, New York is not under the jurisdiction of California, but a separate New York State. But the world economy is integrated, which will naturally affect the California economy.
"But your losses are too great!" Schwarzenegger said speechlessly.
"Haha, what you lose will always be earned back. The more you lose, the more you earn. You can't bear to lose your child, you can't catch the wolf!" Lin Feng smiled faintly.
What I lost this year, I will earn back next year! Wall Street, my Lin Feng's money is never easy to make! (To be continued...)
