Chapter 50 Stock Manipulation

No matter what, the Avengers will soon kick off, and interesting things will begin. Similarly, the Infinity Stones are getting closer.

Although Link has entered S.H.I.E.L.D. and is still a level 6 agent, he is still a peripheral staff member and cannot enter the core at all. He shows his strength in the hope of entering the Avengers in the future.

It is not bad for S.H.I.E.L.D. not to go deep into the core. After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is still Snake Shield now, and it is simply a matter of being confused.

He does not have to enter the core to wade into the muddy water, just wait for the beginning.

In this way, time entered 2008, Fisk's nursing home opened, the construction was good, and the facilities inside were very complete.

The lonely elderly in Hell's Kitchen also signed a contract to move in. Their meager pensions belonged to the nursing home. They had no money themselves, but all things would be taken care of by the nursing home.

All their property rights and lease contracts were transferred to the United Construction Company, so Fisk had more land and property rights.

The first batch of low-rent apartments were also put into use and began to be exchanged, and the first office building had already started construction, and everything was moving in a good direction.

This is a matter of charity, and in terms of making money, the dock controlled by Fisk is on the right track, which has really solved a large number of employment problems, and the red-light district project has also begun.

Each gang has its own part here, which will be their main income, so the security of Hell's Kitchen has improved a lot.

After all, only when it is safe, people will come to play, and there are many tricks. The girls here come from all over the world, which is dazzling.

Nightclubs, discos, and clubs have their own characteristics, and even large casinos have been opened here, which really attracted a group of people to Hell's Kitchen.

Every night, gang members and police will patrol, which makes Matthew Murdoch very depressed. Is this good or bad?

Fisk cut off the landing channels for drugs and population, which made gangs outside Hell's Kitchen look for new docks. For a time, there was a shortage of supply. Fisk began to act, turning out the addicts in Hell's Kitchen and sending them to drug rehabilitation centers.

To this end, Vanessa launched a charity auction and selected the works of a less well-known painter, but his paintings were very good.

Link was also among the invited guests. He attended with Jessica and bought a painting for 20,000 US dollars and hung it in the guest room.

The auction was very successful. After all, the banner was to help those drug addicts, but in fact, they were cleared out of Hell's Kitchen. It would be difficult to come back.

However, if they can quit drugs, they may not get a new life, but this is too difficult, and everyone knows it is difficult.

Vanessa was radiant at the auction. She got what she wanted, but this was just the beginning. After that, she will frequently go in and out of New York's upper class.

...

The Apex Awards were held as scheduled. Link paid attention to it. Stark Industries was discussing the purchase of Jellico missiles with the military at this time, and Stark Industries' stocks rose again.

Link took this opportunity to sell all his stocks and turned around to buy Hammer Industries' stocks.

At this time, the stock of Hammer Industries fell slightly, and Link made a direct move without hesitation. At this time, his 1.1 billion US dollars had become nearly 1.2 billion.

The dividends were given to the charity fund!

When he finished the operation, the news of Tony Stark's disappearance finally came back. The stock of Stark Industries fell by about 3% at once, while the stock of Hammer Industries began to rise.

Coulson called Link and asked him to find out some information from the upper class in New York to see if there was any gain, and then there was no other action.

In fact, this matter is also a bit strange. SHIELD should have been keeping an eye on Tony Stark. Didn't SHIELD take action when he was kidnapped?

Or SHIELD didn't expect that Stark would be kidnapped under the protection of the military. After all, this matter sounds like a joke. It is unbelievable that Stark was taken away by the US military.

As time went on, Stark disappeared for longer and longer, which was naturally the biggest blow to Stark Industries. However, because Stark Industries had too many profitable projects, the stock price did not fall much.

Link also analyzed that Obadiah Stane, as the mastermind behind the scenes, could not have allowed Stark Industries' stock price to plummet without preparation.

However, Hammer Industries benefited from this. As time went on, Justin Hammer hinted on various occasions that Stark was dead, and the stock price of Hammer Industries rose significantly, making Link a lot of money.

In this way, more than two months after Stark disappeared, Link began to slowly sell Hammer Industries' stocks, and his funds reached 1.3 billion US dollars.

Buy low and sell high, Link made more than 100 million US dollars in two operations, most of which were profits from the appreciation of Hammer Industries' stocks.

Coincidentally, Link also passed the tax season, so he could patiently wait for Stark's return and announce the closure of the weapons department.

Stark Industries' market value was 200 billion US dollars, and it plummeted by more than 55%. It was less than 100 billion US dollars. Link was ready to short Stark Industries and make a good profit.

He directly adopted a 10-fold financial leverage, and then borrowed Stark Industries' stocks worth more than 10 billion US dollars from various financial institutions for a period of one month.

After doing all this, Stark had been missing for three months, and Link had also waited for the news that Stark had been rescued. The stock price began to rise. Link still held the stock and did not sell it. He waited until the day before Stark returned, and then he took action and sold all the stocks at once.

But it did not affect the stock price. There were countless people rushing to buy. If Tony Stark did not announce the closure of the weapons department when he came back, then Link would go bankrupt.

But he was not afraid. At most, he would go to Africa, capture Ulysses Klaue, rob his vibranium, and then sell him to Wakanda.

…

Stark came back, and after getting off the plane, he was going to hold a press conference.

Link was in the office of the foundation, watching the press conference on TV. Jessica sat next to him. She didn't know about Link's financial operations.

Jessica took a sip of the wine glass and asked, "Why do you pay attention to him?"

"Of course I have to pay attention to him. The development of our foundation depends on him." Link said with a smile, and then continued to stare at the TV.

Jessica stopped talking, she found that her boyfriend was paying extra attention to her today.
