Chapter 431 They Will Definitely Regret It
William took out his phone and pulled up Yuriolov's photo and said, "The news that someone attacked me this time was told to me by this guy named Yuriolov.
Yuri is a New York arms dealer who has been active in the desert and Africa. Please help me keep an eye on him. I always feel that this guy's purpose is not that simple. If there is no problem, that's the best. If there is a problem, just kill him directly."
"OK", White Ghost nodded, picked up the wine glass and drank the Latour in the glass in one gulp, then picked up the decanter and poured himself another large glass, and drank it in one gulp before standing up with satisfaction and said, "Wait for my news, remember to save the remaining half bottle for me to drink next time."
After that, he walked to the window, opened the window and climbed out directly.
Looking at the Latour that was drunk up, and then looking at the window, William couldn't help but complain in his heart, 'There is a door but he doesn't go through it, but he likes to climb through the window, and when did it become popular to drink red wine in one gulp? '
"Another poor and picky guy", then he also picked up the wine glass and drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp.
I came to the basement and sat on the space chair. A beam of light immediately appeared on the virtual imaging table in front of me, showing the stock market that had just opened today.
"SIR, since the news that Valentine Group will regain special raw materials has not yet been heard, it is easy to find buyers for our long contracts. It is expected that the 3 billion US dollar contract with 3x leverage will be completed in 1 hour."
"Well", William was in a good mood because he could make a lot of money again. "Are you sure Valentine is secretly longing his own group?"
"Yes, sir, Valentine's funds are not as much as ours, only 300 million US dollars, but he uses 5x leverage, and the contract period is one month."
"Haha, it seems that the black charcoal head is very confident in his plan, but I don't know if his face will be darker when he sees his company's stock plummeting in a few days."
"SIR, do we need to tell Ms. Catherine and Mr. Garris about this plan? You promised Ms. Catherine that you would tell her when there is action."
William denied it without thinking, "NO, I won't tell her my plan now, I will tell her before everything about Valentine is exposed."
Catherine is just an ally. Only an idiot would give her all the benefits. If she really makes her rich, they will continue to cooperate like this in the future.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the market suddenly broke out that No. 10 Downing Street agreed to the request of the Valentine Group and provided another batch of special materials.
Although this batch of raw materials is only a quarter of the previous amount, it means that the Valentine Group has successfully lobbied No. 10 Downing Street.
With the first batch, the second batch will be much easier. The news soon appeared in the news.
In the interview, Valentine revealed that he planned to comprehensively improve the automation level of the Irish Blue factory, and at the same time give a 10% salary increase to those employees who did not make trouble, and increase the purchase of raw materials that can be produced in Britain and Ireland.
As soon as this interview came out, everyone understood why No. 10 Downing Street would release the control of special raw materials. Valentine bought the authorization with money.
Ireland Blue can produce more raw materials than England, and using automated machines to replace a large number of employees who make trouble will cost a lot in the short term and cause many disputes, but in the long run, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
As soon as this good news came out, the market responded immediately, and the stock price of Valentine Group began to rise.
Three days later, the stock price not only returned to the level before the incident, but even increased by 12%.
However, when William's three-day long contract was delivered and he took out a profit of 900 million US dollars from the market, the upward momentum of Valentine Group's stock price began to slow down.
Before the midday break, the upward momentum of the stock price was not only suppressed, but also had a downward trend. This made Valentine, who got the news, very annoyed. Just when it was a little better, someone messed it up.
And with William's previous record in the stock market, it was easy to form a domino effect. After thinking for a long time, the only way was to announce the plan of free communication and Internet access in advance, which made Valentine hate William with gnashing teeth.
At 12:30 noon, Valentine, who deliberately walked out of the exchange, took the opportunity of being surrounded by paparazzi to sneer at William, saying that William had no vision and ran away after making a little money. At the same time, he announced to the public that he would hold a press conference in the conference hall of the exchange half an hour later, and there would be major good news to be announced at that time.
At 1:00 p.m., the reporters who rushed to the conference gathered in groups of three or four with their acquaintances, excitedly discussing what kind of major good news would be released.
Due to the tight schedule, many reporters who did not arrive kept calling the exchange, hoping that the press conference would be postponed. After the exchange communicated with Valentine, it was announced that the press conference would be postponed to 1:30 p.m.
At 1:30 p.m., Richmond Valentine, dressed in a casual suit and a baseball cap, walked to the middle of the press conference platform with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming."
It was just an opening statement, but now the reporters applauded very respectfully. Valentine smiled and thanked them continuously, and waited for the scene to quiet down before getting straight to the point.
"We all know that the world has entered the era of the global village. Mobile communications and the Internet have become part of our lives, but the convenience of communication has made us spend more and more on these two items.
According to surveys by some authoritative organizations, the average cost of our mobile communications and the Internet this year will reach 1,200 US dollars.
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!
So what I want to tell you today is that with the continuous advancement of Valentine Group's technology, I am honored to announce to everyone that the era of charging is coming to an end.
From tomorrow, anyone in the world can get a free phone and Internet card produced by our company and use our communication services for free. Yes, you heard it right, free, and it will be valid forever as long as Valentine Group exists. Thank you".
The applause of "clapping" rang out as soon as Valentine finished speaking, and many people even shouted excitedly, "Long live God and Valentine".
The stock market reacted the fastest. After the press conference, the stock price fluctuated for an hour, and the stock price of Valentine Company rose sharply, rising by 16% that afternoon.
The next day, after the free communication and Internet cards were really issued, the market value of Valentine Group directly broke through from 70 billion US dollars half a month ago to 100 billion. US dollars.
In just three days, the Valentine Group issued 3 million communication cards. Richmond Valentine became the most influential person in the world. All major media reported on Valentine, why he did it, and what benefits it would bring.
William, who was named by Valentine before the press conference, soon became a fool who only cared about the present. For a while, people would smile contemptuously when they mentioned William.
On the fifth day of the press conference, Sunday reported to William, "SIR, after deducting the handling fee, the original 3.96 billion US dollars and the newly earned 900 million US dollars in the Swiss National Bank have all been transferred to the Swiss Basti Bank. The plan can start."
"Well," William sneered while lying on the space chair, "I hope those idiot shareholders of the National Bank will not regret it."
"No, SIR, I think they will definitely regret it."
