Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Although the NYSE was closed during these two days and Harry Sinclair suffered the humiliation of his life in Atlantic City, in reality, the dia and newspapers never stopped reporting on the short-selling battle involving Sinclair Oil Corporation.
The "Wall Street Journal" even called the battle a "new type of comrcial warfare in modern society" in its Sunday report.
Now that the battle had captured the attention of the audience, when the market officially opened on Monday, it naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
Donnie got up very early today and had arrived at Block Tavern by nine o'clock.
William llon ca over with Donnie, along with ... John and Dwight!
That morning, Donnie had learned everything that happened from John, including the matter of stealing Harry Sinclair's wallet yesterday.
"We thought you didn't say anything, which ant you agreed with what we did!"
John, sitting on the sofa, said with so grievance.
William llon sat opposite him, legs crossed, one hand covering his mouth, worried he might burst out laughing if he didn't.
Dwight's expression was sowhat uneasy; he had thought his actions would please Donnie, but it seed the situation hadn't turned out as expected!
Donnie, sowhat helplessly, looked at the two n and said, "Do you two even know who you ssed with?"
"Of course, we know, it's that Sinclair Oil Company boss Harry Sinclair, right?" John muttered, "We knew it was him, that's why we cleaned his clock, and we didn't do much really, just gave him a beating and stole his wallet. Who knew this guy had such thick skin, to still have the nerve to ask you for a loan!"
Donnie, holding his head, finally said helplessly, "Do you know that if others found out about this, they'd call us barbarians, and we'd face even greater resistance doing anything on Wall Street!"
Upon hearing that Donnie was worried about this, John imdiately smiled honestly and said, "Don't worry about that, we were very careful, no one knows it was us!"
At this point, John imdiately looked at William llon, who was shrugging his shoulders, "He knows, should we...?"
"Hey, hey, hey!" William llon quickly stood up, waving his hand, "Relax, relax, I'm with you guys, and the funds for Donnie to short Sinclair Oil co from !"
At that, William llon even stood up and clapped John on the shoulder, making a heart-to-heart gesture, "We're in this together, like a family. Rest assured, I won't tell a soul!"
Truth be told, William llon was truly scared of Donnie's big brother, for he had received a privileged education and was part of exclusive circles; he had never encountered soone like John before.
The education he had received taught that in business, one should try not to make any enemies, and if soone was an enemy, he should first extend a gesture of goodwill. After all, it's just business competition.
Even if it finally ca down to a competition involving huge interests, if all else fails, hiring soone to take out the rival was an option.
But John's thod was sothing he had never encountered.
William llon even thought that if he had found himself in such a situation, his outco might not be any better than Harry Sinclair's.
If such a thing happened to him, he'd rather be dead.
It was too humiliating!
Therefore, at this mont, in William llon's mind, John Block beca the number one person not to provoke, an utterly fearless and unbridled force! Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
Seeing William llon's reaction, John laughed heartily, "Not bad, you're a good guy, a true brother!"
Whew...
William llon let out a huge sigh of relief.
Donnie, however, was still wearing a cold expression, glanced at the ti and realized the market was about to open. He could only say reluctantly, "Alright, sit down. I'll deal with you two after the market closes for lunch!"
John chuckled and settled back on the sofa, while Dwight beca even more nervous.
As the Atlantic City Broadcast economic channel's special program on the 'Sinclair Oil Corporation Short Selling Battle' began, it signaled that NYSE had officially started trading.
"Huh, Morgan is quite aggressive today. They've put up a sign for the acquisition of Sinclair Oil as soon as the market opened, obviously believing that Jesse Livermore must not have much stock left in Sinclair Oil, so they want to go for the kill right away and defeat Jesse Livermore!"
The voice from the radio made Donnie and William llon exchange glances, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
They knew their own situation; up to that point, they still had over 14 million shares of Sinclair Oil in hand, and while they didn't know how much cash Harry Sinclair had prepared on his side, a bold estimate might be between one to two million US Dollars. This amount of money would be enough to buy no more than five million shares of Sinclair Oil at the current stock price.
Without knowing their holdings, Harry Sinclair's side should have played it safe and observed their position first. Why did they co out with a do-or-die attitude right at the start?
