The market reacted almost immediately once they knew of Sena’s statement.
Sena’s share prices had another burst once the statement was released and stabilized at 110 US dollars. It was likely for it to keep rising and its trend was steep!
At the same time, in the president’s office of Nasdaq Exchange Center.
Franklin and Paulson were chatting. The duo had yet to find out about Sena’s statement, so they did not realize that Sena’s share prices had suddenly spiked.
Paulson still did not believe that Sena would surpass 120 US dollars per share, for the dot-com industry’s economy had yet to recover after its bubble popped. To exceed such a price was an impossible feat!
“You’ve been sitting here all day, old friend. It seems like Sena’s share prices really won’t be able to exceed 120 US dollars as you predicted.”
As the president of Nasdaq Exchange Center, Franklin had seen way too many hyped or insignificant shares go public and privatize.
Franklin had more experience in share securities than Paulson and perhaps even more authority when it came to theory, or he could not have assumed the position as president of one of the world’s six biggest exchange centers.
Paulson smiled softly and pointed at his brain. “That’s because I have a fundamental understanding of the financial market and dot-com industry as a whole.
“I agree that Sena is an outstanding company, and if it had gone public before the dot-com bubble popped, I’m sure a company with its results can easily amount to 180 US dollars. But the industry is no longer the same.
“The limits of its share prices isn’t the business, but the market’s ceiling.”
Franklin sighed regretfully. “I agree. As you said, the market’s environment is what’s limiting it. It’s a shame, considering how boundless Sena’s potential is as an enterprise.”
Paulson laughed aloud and spoke, “Let this be a lesson taught to the young Somer businessman. He’s an extraordinary man, but he has yet to see through Wall Street’s financial market. In many cases, a company’s determined share price is hardly a representation of the enterprise’s results and future.
“There’s nothing wrong with a few more obstacles for the youths.
“There’s still another hour before its first transactional day ends. Will you truly fire Celine if Sena doesn’t manage to exceed 120 US dollars? You should know that doing so would create a rift between you and this Somer businessman. Your relationship would take a horrible turn,” Franklin spoke.
Paulson shrugged. “The world needs the United States and the United States needs Wall Street. As the largest investment bank in the world, the last thing Colossal lacks are partnerships. I’m sure he’ll know what to do if he’s a qualified businessman.
“Perhaps he’s already considering admitting his loss to me.
“As for Celine, she’s indeed the daughter of an old friend of mine. I won’t fire her because of this, but I will have to teach her a lesson.
“I need them to know that many things in this world aren’t in their control. After all, there are still people like us who are more experienced and more authorized. We can’t possibly let them get away being so full of themselves.”
Paulson had just finished speaking when someone hastily knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Franklin spoke calmly.
Jameson entered the room quickly and greeted the two old men, “Hello, President Paulson, Mr. Franklin.”
Seeing his own subordinate enter the room, Paulson frowned slightly and asked, “I thought you were supposed to be by Jasper’s side, Jameson? What are you doing here?”
