"Naturally."
"You will be surprised to know that I handle considerable stock in that company."
"How, may I ask?"
"The last time you bucked them, you did it on the market. You lost," grinned Murdoch. "Proving that you haven't a hundred percent record, either. Well, while Terran Electric was dragging its par value down around the twos and threes, I took a few shares."
"How do you stand?"
"I rather imagine that I hold fifteen or twenty percent."
"That took money."
"I have money," said Murdoch modestly. "Plenty of it. I should have grabbed more stock, but I figured that between us we have enough to do as we please. What's your holdings?"
"I once held forty-one percent. They bilked me out of some of that. I have less than thirty percent."
"So we'll run the market crazy again, and between us we'll take off control. Then, Kingman, we'll use Terran Electric to ruin Venus Equilateral."
