Throughout the afternoon, Harry Sinir never had a moment of peace.
Today, to manage all matters, Harry Sinir had rented a hotel room near the NYSE to use as his temporary office.
Meanwhile, his assistants also arrived, including Marx Quinn, who was specifically responsible for contacting Morgan within the NYSE, and Nelson Hendry, who led a small team to contact radio stations across America.
Indeed, as soon as the Antic City Broadcast''s economic channel started reporting on this short-selling battle, manymercial radio stations, driven by other investment firms on Wall Street, had learned of the event and understood its impact.
Therefore, Nelson Hendry''s outreach was quite unsessful, as could be seen from each of his subordinates holding a phone and discussing terms with the utmost humility.
In fact, such business talks were highly unusual for the era; in the absence of video conferencing, the Sinir Oil Corporation should have sent representatives to thesemercial radio stations for face-to-face negotiations.
Alternatively, Sinir Oil Corporation could have invited the stations to theirpany for discussions.
But the situation had developed too abruptly, leaving no time for Sinir Oil to do either.
Thus, Harry Sinir had no choice but to reluctantly opt for this method of discussing potential coborations.
Antic City Broadcast was already a benchmark for nationalmercial radio, and allmercial stations were paying attention to learn about the advanced concepts it was bringing to the industry.
When thesemercial radio stations listened to the report on Antic City Broadcast''s economic channel that afternoon and received calls from Wall Street investment firms, they immediately recognized it as an opportunity!

Visionarypanies now focused primarily on how to negotiate financing with these investment institutions moving forward.
Shortsightedpanies, at this moment, after receiving a call from Sinir Oil, focused on how they could extort more money from them.
Uh, and the far-sightedpanies, they were also thinking about how to squeeze more money out of Sinir Oil on this matter!
Such circumstances gave Harry Sinir an incredibly tough time; he had thought $200,000 would have been enough to manage the situation, but after hearing Nelson Hendry''s report, he knew that the $200,000 budget he had previously set was no longer sufficient!
"Agree, agree to all their demands, time is the most valuable thing for us right now!" Harry Sinir said, massaging his hair and with bloodshot eyes, "Damn you, Donnie Block, couldn''t you have let Antic City Broadcast report this tomorrow?"@@novelbin@@
Tomorrow would be Friday, and ording to custom, the NYSE would be closed the day after. If that were the case, he would have two days to thoroughly discuss the matter with thesemercial radio stations.
Now, to ensure they were not fighting alone tomorrow, Harry Sinir had no choice but to reluctantly ept the extortion from thesemercial radio stations.
"I don''t care by what means, or how much it costs, by tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning I want to hear othermercial radio stations reporting on the matter."
Harry Sinir had reason to be so angry.
Because that afternoon, under the influence of Antic City Broadcast, Sinir Oil''s stock price finally saw itsrgest drop of thest few days, falling below 40 cents by the market''s close.
If it wasn''t for their own determined efforts to support the price, it would likely have dropped to 35 cents.
And the cost was that in just this one afternoon, Morgan had spent the entire $200,000.
"ording to Hein Howell''s analysis, if we can''t get any favorable news by tomorrow, the stock price is definitely going to continue falling, and it might even trigger a widespread panic. At that point, everything bes uncontroble!"
This was the first thing Marx Quinn reported to Harry Sinir after the NYSE closed today.
Nelson Hendry nodded and said, "I understand, boss. Rest assured, we will surelye to an agreement with themercial radio stations tonight."
After Nelson Hendry left, Marx Quinn suggested to Harry Sinir, "Boss, should we initiate an investigation into Antic City Broadcast? Their current actions are clearly disrupting the ordinary functioning of the stock market. If we could get support from the NYSE and the courts to prohibit Antic City Broadcast from reporting on the matter, then Donnie Block would lose his primary leverage!"
"That''s a good suggestion!" Harry Sinir replied in frustration, "But it''s useless."
Marx Quinn looked at Harry Sinir, puzzled as to why he would say that.
Harry Sinir did not rify for Marx Quinn, instead he waved him off from his study.
After Marx Quinn left, Harry Sinir dialed Hein Howell''s number: "Is there really no way at the NYSE to deal with this? Antic City Broadcast''s behavior clearly interferes with the normal operation of the market!"
