Chapter 7: Chapter 7: S.H.I.E.L.D's Attention
Shorting is a common operation method in the stock market, especially US stocks. This means that, in anticipation of a stock going down, the operator sells the stocks at the market price, waits for the stock to fall and then buys it to earn the middle price difference.
Kyle is not simply short-selling, such a good opportunity, how can it be done without earning a lot of money.
Taking advantage of his position, Kyle easily set up dozens of bank accounts for himself. 500 million USD entered the stock market and started financial leverage of ten times.
That is to say, the capital of 500 million USD has been enlarged to 5 billion USD. Definitely, the risk has also increased by 10 times. As long as Stark Industrial's increase exceeds 10%, his 500 million USD will be in vain.
After doing this, Kyle just needs to wait quietly.
…
As expected, the news of Tony Stark's disappearance was reported that night.
The next day, as soon as the U.S. stock market opened, the stock of Stark Industries began to fall, and it fell off a cliff, with a drop of 15% that day.
Before Tony disappeared, the market value of Stark Industries was around 200 billion USD. A drop of 15%, that is to say, Stark Industries lost 30 billion USD of market value on this day alone.
And, this is only the first day.
Besides Kyle, it's just a happy bloom at the moment.
He made 750 million USD.
"Kyle, you seem very happy today?" Wanda asked curiously when he came home from school and saw Kyle who was humming and in a good mood.
"I made a lot of money, definitely happy." Kyle explained with a smile.
After thinking for a while, Kyle said again: "Wanda, starting from next month, your pocket money will be doubled."
"Yeah!"
Hearing that the pocket money was doubled, Wanda jumped up excitedly, hugged Kyle and kissed him, but then she blushed.
Kyle is also helpless, this little girl is getting more and more unscrupulous.
And Pietro, who was watching TV, appeared in front of Kyle the moment he heard the topic of increasing pocket money, and asked expectantly, "Kyle, what about me?"
Since he has increased Wanda's pocket money he will naturally increase Pietro's too. He always treats them equally.
Thinking of this, Kyle said:
"In your case, it will increase...50 USD every month in the future."
"5...50 USD?!"
The anticipation on Pietro's face instantly solidified. Then with some eagerness he said: "But Wanda's pocket money has been doubled but I only get 50 dollars, you know that Wanda has 1,000 dollars every month, and I only have 500..."
"What? Too little? Don't you want 50 dollar?" Kyle raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"...want."
Pietro was like an eggplant hit by frost in an instant, losing his energy.
Kyle smiled and stopped teasing Pietro: "Okay, you are definitely the same as Wanda, your pocket money has been doubled too."
"really?"
"of course." Kyle said.
"Yeah!"
Pietro regained his energy instantly.
At this time, Wanda saw the excited Pietro and said: "Don't forget, Pietro, your pocket money next month is mine. That is to say, I have 3,000 dollars next month, and you have to wait until next month."
"No!! Wanda, I should only give you $500."
"No! Kyle's punishment for you is your next month's pocket money, not $500."
"I think we can have a good discussion about it Wanda."
"No discussion, unless... you call me sister."
"No!! Even if i never get pocket money, I won't call you sister. You know, I was born 12 minutes before you."
"It's only twelve minutes."
"Twelve minutes is enough, so I'm the older brother."
"Hmph, then forget about your pocket money next month."
…
For two months in a row, Stark Industrial's stock price has not risen on a single day.
The market value has dropped from the peak of 200 billion USD to 110 billion USD, a drop of 45%. That is to say, Kyle earned 2.25 billion USD in these two months.
Therefore Kyle seemed to be very happy.
Not only a lot of money has been earned, but the training for teleportation and Psychokinesis has also been fully completed.
Now there is no delay while teleporting after completing the training, and with a single thought you can teleport to the place within your sight or the place you have been before.
And the 500-ton Psychokinesis can be controlled like your arm.
…
In Washington, more than 300 kilometers away from New York.
S.H.E.I.L.D's Headquarters, The Triskelion
Chief's Office.
Looking at Hill, Nick Fury asked, "How about the disappearance of Tony Stark? Did you find any clues?"
Hill shook his head and said: "I haven't found it yet, although according to the investigation, Tony's disappearance should have a lot to do with Obadiah Stan, but we have no evidence and he has a very good relationship the military.So without evidence, there is no way we can arrest him."
Nick Fury was not satisfied with Hill's answer.
Tony Stark is very important.
First of all, not to mention that he is the son of SHIELD founder Howard Stark, Tony Stark originally had a great influence in the military.
After Tony Stark disappeared, the military put a lot of pressure on him to let SHIELD do their best to search and rescue tony.
More importantly, Tony Stark is a super talented scientist, and Tony Stark has contributed a lot to the construction and development of S.H.I.E.L.D, although even Tony Stark himself does not know this.
"Director, there is a very suspicious person in the matter of Tony Stark's disappearance," Hill added.
"Who?"
"The agent in charge of the crime investigation department of the FBI New York Branch, Kyle Blackwood. On the day Tony Stark disappeared, he began to short the stock of Stark Industries, and it was ten times the financial leverage. In the disappearance of Tony Stark, a total of $2.25 billion in profit. Suspicious because the Jericho missile test in Afghanistan was very successful at the time, and if Tony Stark hadn't disappeared, there was little chance that Stark Industries' stock would fall," Hill said.
Nick Fury frowned and thought, and after a while he asked, "Hill did you investigate him."
