I thought someone was preparing to push the price up for profit, but I didn’t expect it to be an acquisition."

The major shareholder has adjusted the company’s management team and injected capital for additional shares, to be used for purchasing production equipment, planning to produce new toys." With this news, people became more optimistic about the future of HD Toy Company. Many people started buying stocks, pushing the stock price further up, reaching $0.48. At this time, Andy’s main funds remained unchanged. A few more days passed. The Los Angeles Times published an advertisement, with a photo of three beautiful Barbie dolls wearing evening gowns, graceful curves, and radiant skin, each very distinct. "HD Toys will create a new toy, the ’Barbie Doll’ series. The first doll is called ’Princess Ava,’ based on Miss Ava Gardner, the second doll is called ’Princess Taylor,’ based on Elizabeth Taylor, the third doll is called ’The Noble Princess,’ based on a mysterious British noblewoman. Stars, teachers, engineers, doctors, etc...new clothes and accessories will be launched every season in the future."

Many people saw the promotional pictures and thought these dolls were beautiful and exquisite, creating an irresistible desire to own them. Such toys, believed to be loved by many people. Following this, the toy stocks ushered in a new round of growth. Andy took action, quickly pushing up the stock price. The stock price began to soar dramatically, rising from $0.5, breaking through $1 in just one day, and continuing to rise. With a large amount of stock in his hands and good news surrounding the toy companies, his operations became very simple. Hardy looked at the stock price and smiled. Ring ring ring~! Hardy’s office phone rang, and he picked it up. It was Taylor calling. "Hardy, I saw the Los Angeles Daily. Is ’Princess Taylor’ me?" Taylor asked excitedly. "Hehe, of course. Do you like it?" Hardy said. "I love it, Hardy. For Christmas, I want to receive the whole set of ’Princess Taylor" Taylor said. "Of course, no problem." Hardy promised. "Ah~~ So, does that mean you’ll come to New York for Christmas? Hitchcock said, The Christmas production crew only has one day off, I can’t go back to Los Angeles." Taylor said somewhat disappointingly. "Okay, I’ll come to New York to see you." Hardy agreed. "That’s great!" Elizabeth Taylor cheered on the phone. In fact, what she cared about wasn’t a toy, but that Hardy could come to see her. After chatting with Taylor, just as he hung up the phone, it rang again. This time, surprisingly, it was Elena calling. "Elena, what’s up?" "I want to ask, who was ’The Noble Princess’ based on?" Elena asked softly. "You." Hardy’s answer was very concise. There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, "I really like it. I want a set too." After saying this, she quickly hung up the phone. Hardy chuckled, holding the microphone. The phone rang again shortly after the call was over, and Hardy knew instantly who it was. Ava on the other end of the phone said excitedly, "Princess Ava, this name sounds so nice. I never thought that one day, this country girl could also become a princess. Hardy, thank you." While reorganizing the toy factory, Andy began to operate the magazine and health product companies, shaking their stocks in the stock market. In the continuous fluctuations, both stocks received 74% of the outstanding shares of the magazine and 61% of the outstanding shares of the health products. Andy began to contact the magazine and health product companies, preparing for acquisition. The owner of the magazine company was willing to sell, but asked for a high price. Andy smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, the magazine company has been operating at a loss for four consecutive years, triggering the delisting red line. This year is the last. It’s almost Christmas do you think the magazine company still has a chance of turning things around? Next year, it will be forcibly delisted, and by then, it may be worthless. Your ultimate result will be to leave." The magazine company owner looked grim, but he knew that what Andy said was true. Finally, after some thought, he said, "I can sell the shares, but I hope to continue working here. There are more than ten employees in the magazine company, and I hope not to lay them off within six months, and their salaries should not be reduced." "This condition I can agree to." He had looked at the salary situation of the magazine company and compared it with others in the industry; it wasn’t particularly high. These people were all experienced and could definitely stay. And with that, Andy completed the acquisition of the magazine company. However, Andy encountered trouble with the health product company. Several shareholders of the health product company seemed to know that Andy’s financial company was the acquisition team of HD Security’s boss. They also knew about the previous operation at the toy factory and felt that the HD boss’s acquisition of the health product company would surely make a big profit. They discussed it among themselves and raised the price very high. and they wouldn’t budge.
