Chapter 1541 Start with an idea
Ideas are a terrible thing, because things in the world, big and small, are made step by step by step by step by step.
Under Zhou Ming's guidance, Walsh Jr. re-established his confidence in the campaign, and then did various activities with McCann in California, and finally defeated McCann in the party's pre-select.
When Walsh Jr. took California, McCann knew that his situation was over, so he took the initiative to announce his withdrawal from the election as usual. As a result, Walsh Jr. had no opponent and automatically won all the next party elections. Only one nomination step was left before the official candidate.
With Walsh Jr.'s qualifying victory, Rockefeller and Texas became active again. After all, Walsh Jr.'s nomination has stabilized, so the only thing they are concerned about next is Zhou Ming's revenge and Walker's hookup with the Cotter family.
Zhou Ming still talks in a cliché way, and regardless of whether they believe it or not, he tells them not to worry, and his revenge layout will be almost completed.
As for Walker, he used this window period to expand Alden Oil Company to its limit, so he told everyone that he would hold a board meeting of the company, and that he would reveal a huge secret at the meeting.
This incident aroused everyone's curiosity. After all, Freeman and others were curious about why Walker joined forces with the Cotter family. They didn't mind that much, but they didn't understand where the meaning was. After so long, they could finally give them an answer.
Of course, Rockefeller and Texas had other ideas for this board meeting: "It's time to prove which is better, Walker or Zhou Ming!"
This idea was born in the minds of Freeman and McGison very early on, because to them, Zhou Ming is a very powerful person, but he is always out of their control and is not their "personal person". But Zhou Ming is famous and so far, whoever messes with him will be unlucky, so no one dares to challenge Zhou Ming, because it is to make it difficult for him.
Now there is a Walker finally released. Judging from his performance in the shale oil project, he is obviously more radical than Zhou Ming, and his methods are more experienced. What makes everyone happier is that he is still a "person".
Then if Walker really has the ability to replace Zhou Ming, it would be a great thing for them.
Even if it cannot be replaced, it doesn't matter. As long as Walker's ability is as strong as Zhou Ming, it is enough to give them another chance to choose, and they can use this to control Zhou Ming.
This was the unanimous choice of almost all American wealthy families. So in the following time, these wealthy families spontaneously helped Walker to build momentum and constantly arranged exposures to Walker and his Alden Oil Company. Various media reports praised Walker as the messenger of God who brought wealth to everyone and Einstein of the financial business world. His appearance redefined the financial order.
For a time, all kinds of titles of cowhide to heaven were safe on Walker's head. Even Walker usually followed him to take photos when he went out, and some people publicly expressed their admiration and love to him.
The sudden praise made Walker suddenly alert, because Walker knew that something abnormal would happen, and this was not arranged by himself.
Walker called Zhou Ming and told this: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I swear I definitely don't have it.
It would be too shameful to do these publicity and ask me to spend so much money to praise myself."
Zhou Ming also believed that Walker would not do this, so Zhou Ming guessed: "It seems that someone wanted to deliberately help you to the forefront."
Zhou Ming also told Walker that the purpose of their doing this is probably for themselves, and they wanted to deliberately set Walker as their target of attack.
Walker was a little panicked. He asked Zhou Ming if he had exposed it. Zhou Ming replied that it was definitely not, because if it was exposed, they would withdraw their investment directly instead of continuing to invest and support it. Their idea was to hope that there would be more people buying eggs in the market so that they could have room for bargaining.
Walker asked Zhou Ming what to do, and insisted that these were all titles imposed on him by others.
It is this kind of imposed title that is troublesome.
Because these are public opinion, if you slander and abuse, you can only prosecute it, but this is praise. There is no precedent for handling it in the whole world.
Send a statement saying that you don’t need these titles? Or send a lawyer letter to the media to ask them to take back the praise they gave you before?
It's too weird to do this.
Zhou Ming shook his head repeatedly, it would be better not to act so strangely.
At this time, Chen Shu, who was also concerned about this matter, gave Zhou Ming a suggestion: to continue hype with the media's east wind.
Chen Shu meant that in addition to supporting a "people" to the top, there is another possibility that Rockefellers and others are also hyping up.
Indeed, it is said that thieves don’t leave the empty space, and capitalists will not do anything to lose money. If you just use Walker to fight in the ring, you will undoubtedly lose money. Therefore, they must make money back from other places. The best ones seem to be the stock market and bond market.
After figuring this out, Zhou Ming immediately made a decision: "Since they have designed your character for Walker, then Walker will help them stand. Isn't there an exclusive interview tonight? You can write a few stories about your success in stock trading in the past in the interview, such as the stock market crash in 1987, and everyone doesn't believe it, only you noticed it through a special link."
Walker faithfully implemented Zhou Ming's decision as always. In the live interview that night, he temporarily joined himself in the stock market crash ten years ago. After careful study of the investment documents of several major financial institutions, he concluded that the stock market crash broke out.
"Many people think that Black Monday was just an accident, but I think that's not the case. In fact, that stock market crash was decided a year ago because I've read all the documents of financial investment institutions and saw their superstitions about trading programs as well as the entire market!"
Walker said that he discovered that program trading would not change speculation and follow-up trends, but would intensify this situation, eventually forming that terrible Black Monday.
But only Walker discovered it. He believed in his judgment and urgently put down a large number of sellers and even borrowed a lot of usury, and eventually made a lot of money.
Once Walker's stock market was broadcast, it immediately caused huge waves throughout the United States. Black Monday in 1987 was the biggest stock market crash that was closest to now. This incident was deeply impressed by many people. Therefore, now I heard that Walker had predicted this incident in advance and used his intelligence to avoid the stock market crash and made a big profit, which made countless people for him.
cheer.
At the same time, the media is constantly helping to blow, which makes Walker suddenly have a tendency to win the throne of "stock god".
As Walker's fame continued to expand, the equity capital of Alden and shale oil projects further increased. After the glory of the first day of listing, Alden once again created a sharp increase of eight percentage points a day.
This sudden surge also makes people happy and worrying. It goes without saying that they make money, but worrying is that the wealthy families like Rockefeller did not know in advance that they could still rise like this, so they did not do it in advance, and directly made them make a lot of money in vain.
Zhou Ming has no such worries. With Walker as a big supporter, Zhou Ming knows everything clearly. Therefore, on the day the Walker show was broadcast, Zhou Ming placed a lot of long orders and made much more money than Rockefeller and the others.
In fact, this is not the first time. After Walker took over Alden's company and started shale oil projects, Zhou Ming has been cooperating with Walker to go long. It can be said that the miracle rise of Alden and shale oil is not only a simple hype factor, but also a boost from Zhou Ming's market.
Of course, the rewards of this fueling are also quite considerable. However, the only thing that is more uncomfortable is that in order to hide the relationship between him and Walker, Zhou Ming deliberately slowed down many times, resulting in himself making a lot of less money.
But this time the situation was different. Since everyone was about to showdown, Zhou Ming was particularly presumptuous this time. Not only did he start a few investment companies, but even the Tang family's investment companies and even Tangren Bank participated, which made Rockefeller and the wealthy families in Texas stunned.
They thought to themselves that Zhou Ming's vision was getting more and more vicious and more confident, but they didn't expect that even Tangren Bank would participate this time.
Although most of the returns of commercial banks come from investment, the bigger the bank, the more it needs to invest in projects that can bring stable returns. This is true. The bigger the bank often has stricter the review. It is not that banks cannot invest in the stock market, but that banks pursue stability and are almost impossible to invest in high-risk things like stocks, even with the most professional traders.
In fact, when Zhou Ming proposed to ask Tangren Bank to invest in Alden Company and shale oil projects, almost all the Tang family expressed opposition, including Tang Jingsheng, the head of the ancestral hall meeting that had always supported Zhou Ming.
They said that if they wanted to invest in this way, they could completely let the Tang family's investment institutions go to, but once the bank... fails, it will bring a devastating blow to the bank's credibility. Once a slight run occurs at this time, the bank will basically go bankrupt.
In the end, Zhou Ming and Tang Ran used their prestige to force the task, which caused unhappiness in the entire Tang family at that time. Even Tang Jingsheng almost left the Tang family, and others were even scolding Zhou Ming, calling him deliberately betrayed the Tang family...
When the results came out, all of these talents shut up and did not dare to make rash decisions in front of Zhou Ming.
Tangren Bank successfully invested, so Tangren Bank began to pick up Tang Ran, saying that she was also a talented girl from the Tang family, and that she had guessed in advance that Walker would say such things, so he dared to invest in this investment.
Zhou Ming's actions of praising Tang Ran also made Rockefeller and Texas very excited. They all wanted to fight. Zhou Ming finally started fighting with Walker!
