Reinventing the Millennium.
Chapter 1004
Chapter 1004 Knife Mouth Tofu Heart (8k)
The retail king's magic baton works too well.
Although Fang Zhuo had expected it, he couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw this miraculous effect.
Financial markets are so much fun!
He patrolled on Twitter for a while, watching many media outlets gradually fall silent, and then he was content to call it a day.
It's evening on the US side, and early morning on Shencheng's side.
Speaking of which, the short sellers haven't been able to sleep well these days, and they themselves haven't been able to sleep well either, either because of a call from the SEC, or Kong Yu, or the attempts to contact several large institutions, or the concern of domestic leaders.
The matter is urgent. If it wasn't for the short sellers sleeping in Yike's lounge, I would probably have to live in the company too.
While eating breakfast, Fang Zhuo was still concerned about the situation of Hang Lung while reading the newspaper.
Ever since the short sellers came to Shanghai, and since the first short seller warmly greeted him, the Hang Lung Building had to step up its security work, and had to temporarily close every jumping place, even the doors to the roof were locked.
Thanks to the seriousness and responsibility of the property management, the current situation in this area is not bad. Except for a few who were sent to the hospital due to physical reasons, and a few who have already flown back to the United States to deal with bankruptcy procedures, the mood of the others is still relatively stable.
Just after breakfast, secretary Liu Zonghong knocked on the door and came in holding a notebook.
In the past few days, the contact information has been changed frequently, but the video conference channel inside Yike remains smooth.
"President Yu." Liu Zonghong said in a low voice.
Fang Zhuo nodded, put down the newspaper in his hand, and looked at his notebook: "Morning, oh, good evening, what instructions does Mr. Yu have? Has Microsoft produced results?"
Goldman Sachs has already helped mediate Microsoft's patent matters in the United States in order to show its sincerity, or directly confirm the cooperation.
"Microsoft initially agreed to mutual authorization, which is the authorization between the mobile phone manufacturer equipped with the WM system and our Yike, but there are too many patents on that side, although there are many non-essential patents...the number is still a lot, which requires us to make up for it. Different price."
"Well, Nokia doesn't know if there will be a model equipped with WM, but we have communicated on this point, and Microsoft also agrees that even if Nokia is equipped with WM, it will not be in the scope of mutual authorization."
It has been established that Microsoft and Yike mutually authorize each other, rather than Microsoft and Android.
Secondly, the mortal enemy Nokia is still a mortal enemy, and will not take advantage of this convenience, and is still in the category of key patents being stuck.
Finally, Yike has to make up the appropriate price difference for patent licensing.
These are very reasonable negotiations.
Fang Zhuo drank tea, listened to Mr. Yu's report, and nodded slightly, indicating that he was listening.
"Microsoft's current asking price is $8 a set. This price has been cut from $10. Now their attitude is quite firm." Yu Hong said after considering, "According to the other side, they plan to sue Samsung, and they also want to sue Samsung." Talking about this patent fee, the starting point is at least 20 US dollars.”
A set of 8 dollars, with the momentum of Yike this year, this is an expenditure of at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
Fang Zhuoren in Shencheng did not express his opinion lightly, but only made a small opinion: "Microsoft has not sued us yet, and the prosecution in this regard is also time-consuming. If we receive patent fees from our side, follow-up with Samsung They're easier to talk about."
The bosses of the camp have already paid the money, why don't you weigh it?
You can use Microsoft's psychology of wanting to open up fees to bargain again.
Yu Hong understood Mr. Fang's meaning and said, "We are not in a hurry, we can talk about it again."
She paused and continued: "Today I want to discuss something with you. On the 26th of this month, Samsung's new phone conference will be held. At that time, Google CEO Schmidt will come forward. Well, there is also Verizon. It is said that , Samsung is very confident this time.”
Samsung moved ahead of the press conference, and Verizon also took off the shelves of Yike’s suspected infringing models ahead of schedule. It is obvious that they want to impact the status of the big brother of the camp.
"There is a lot of movement in our current stock market. The most important thing is that the loss of Verizon's channels is indeed a blow. I think it is necessary for Yike to use your name as the world's richest man." Yu Hong said internally Discussion opinion, "If possible, we also want to bring the press conference before Samsung."
"We still use our first pre-sale method before the distribution is in place."
"You will host the online press conference in Shanghai. You must attend this time, otherwise it will be a waste of your enthusiasm these days. We want to transfer the enthusiasm to the company's products, and we must firmly establish the name of the king of Android phones. It's in your hands."
Samsung is coming aggressively, which can be regarded as a preparatory effort after the trial period.
No matter how turbulent the financial market is, Yike still has to sell its products well.
Fang Zhuo pondered for a moment, knowing that this was a serious matter: "Okay, I'll do it."
"The publicity department plans to take advantage of the situation to pile up a bunch of advertisements for the occasion." Yu Hong said with a smile, "What's the 'mobile phone used by the richest man in the world', 'co-branded by a mysterious person'... and for this Yike incident The laser-engraved commemorative edition of , there will be some quotations from you."
"Oh yes, they also plan to go to "Harry Potter" for a joint venture."
Fang Zhuo followed with a smile: "Stop joking."
"I'm not joking with you, Mr. Fang, you have to know what Verizon's channel means to us." Yu Hong said seriously, "If you don't want to, you have to convince yourself to sacrifice for the company. I'm in New York You can feel the impact of this short squeeze."
She added: "Also, this 'retail king' just happened...I got an apology call from GLG Fund, you are too influential."
Yu Hong can get first-hand news and witness the grand occasion on the front line.
"It can't be my fault. It can only be said that retail investors have been suffering from institutions for a long time." Fang Zhuo said.
The mood of retail investors is to pick up.
"When will this end?" Yu Hong asked the specific time.
Fang Zhuo replied, "It's almost Wednesday 22nd, according to your time."
"Then we will strike while the iron is hot and hold a development conference on the 23rd, make up for the public opinion brought this time to the product to the greatest extent, and start preparing for pre-sales in large and small channels today." Yu Hong made a decisive decision, and considering the style of the boss, deliberately Said, "You can say whatever you want at the press conference, and you can also hold a short squeeze victory declaration meeting."
The thoughts in Fang Zhuo's mind kept coming and going. This was originally assigned to Mr. Yu, but now it is a temporary task.
"Okay, prepare a manuscript for me over there, and I will refer to it."
Yu Hong was a little surprised. Fang was always the kind of person who could talk for hours without opening his mouth. What kind of manuscript did he want?
She agreed first, and planned to collect the front-line situation in the past few days, and also provide some materials for the boss.
As soon as the video call ended, Fang Zhuo just took a few breaths, and the secretary Liu Zonghong handed over the phone non-stop.
This is from Goldman Sachs Phillips.
Philip hopes to confirm the time of today's meeting again.
Because of the time difference, 10:30 in Shanghai tonight is 09:30 in New York on Tuesday, which means Nasdaq will open again.
Goldman Sachs Emperor Paulson has already finalized the cooperation intention, and the most important two things, share and time, have been determined, and the specifics are handed over to Philip who led the team to China this time.
"Nine o'clock in the evening? It's too early, just twelve o'clock in the evening." Fang Zhuo disagreed with Philip's time.
At nine o'clock tonight, Nasdaq hasn't opened yet, so what are you doing sitting in the conference room.
"Mr. Fang, Carlyle, Dexie and I all hope that this time will be more abundant. It will be eleven o'clock at night at the latest. After all, we still have to communicate with our respective companies." Philip said sincerely.
Just as Fang Zhuo was about to speak, he suddenly noticed the element: "Where is Qiaoshui?"
This time, among the five major organizations, Insman was kicked out when communicating with Paulson, and the remaining four were all American companies.
Phillips said: "Ian, Carlyle and Grant at Dessert don't think Henry should be in this meeting."
Fang Zhuo understood that this was another family that was killed internally, and the three companies did not know how to communicate, kicking Bridgewater out.
He pondered: "The share of this big deal..."
"Of course it's still the same 2 percent," Philip said. "Goldman Sachs 0.7 percent, Carlyle 0.65 percent, Deutsche Bank 0.65 percent."
Compared with the average share initially discussed, Goldman Sachs received 0.2% more, and the other two each received 0.15% more.
Fang Zhuo's stock was to be delivered to Goldman Sachs, which then delivered it to Carlyle and Dessert. Naturally, the prices of the two deliveries were different, and the information disclosure submitted to the SEC was the next day.
This was the framework established during the communication with Paulson.
However, now there are some differences in details.
"Okay, it can be regarded as the medical expenses paid by Henry for you." Fang Zhuo confirmed it, and he asked Philip about the second injury.
Philip breathed a sigh of relief. This is really possible. Mr. Fang only needs to deliver 2%, and it doesn't matter which ones. Among them, Carlyle has the most abundant political resources. The relatively embarrassing Bridgewater Fund was voted out after a short communication.
Although Bridgewater did not vote, the 3 votes of Goldman Sachs, Carlyle, and Dessert were just over half.
Five deals are too crowded, four are just right.
"Then see you at eleven o'clock in the evening. I also want to settle this matter early." Fang Zhuo sighed, "From now on, I will be my company, and you will be your fund. Everyone go their separate ways."
Philip quickly said: "President Fang, there is still a lot of room for cooperation between us."
Fang Zhuo smiled and hung up the phone.
He had a really good impression of Philip, and he only hoped that he would not see him again next time.
It's still early, but the company can't go, and there's still a bunch of bewildered short representatives nestled there.
Yike stock has opened smoothly, and all the short-selling institutions have suffered heavy losses. Perhaps this group of people is still hoping for a settlement from the SEC, perhaps also hoping for negotiations with large institutions, or perhaps, they have already guessed that they have been abandoned.
But what can we do?
Reviewing from the current time point forward, it seems that the moment when I started shorting Yike, the outcome of the matter was already doomed.
The financial market is willing to gamble and admit defeat, but this time the loss was particularly miserable.
During the daytime on Tuesday in Shanghai time, Fang Zhuo had a relatively relaxed whole time since returning to China.
Domestic leaders observe the situation, domestic media digests information, short sellers are like walking dead, large institutions are busy with internal negotiations, and the waves caused by foreign countries seem to never exist as long as they put down their mobile phones.
Only the top executives of the SEC and Nasdaq Flying to Shanghai are still trying to promote the settlement of the whole matter.
However, Fang Zhuo expressed his willingness to resolve this matter with Nasdaq CEO Robert and Tristan, one of the five SEC members, but their impatience was quickly suppressed by other forces.
Fang Zhuo said: "Yes, this matter can be settled by option settlement on Tuesday."
However, regardless of Robert or Tristan, their receipts have encountered alternative feedback.
The two gradually became silent.
They didn't even try to release this statement from Mr. Fang to the outside world.
The parties are willing to reconcile, but others and even the previous victims are not willing to reconcile the parties, this... let's wait.
The large organizations that had been threatening, mobilizing resources, and buying the media had already switched positions, and proactively postponed the end of the Yike incident without hesitation, not on Tuesday, but on Wednesday at the earliest.
Large customers and some large institutions have formed a confluence of wishes, which together determine the direction of Yike's stock price.
Fang Zhuo was quite comfortable during the day. He first listened to the market report from Yike Huaxia, and then talked to Qiu Ciyun in Germany to hear about the construction progress there. Finally, he took a nap while he still had time. Adjust the time difference and prepare for a new day at NASDAQ at night.
It was late at night in Shencheng, and most people had already gone to sleep.
From ten o'clock, Goldman Sachs Philip, Carleigh Ian, and Grant Grant were waiting for Mr. Fang's arrival in the hotel's high-level business conference room.
However, the agreed eleven o'clock did not appear, and Mr. Fang did not arrive until 11:30.
"Mr. Fang, good evening."
When the three of them saw Mr. Fang, they stood up to welcome him together.
Fang Zhuo pressed his right hand falsely, signaling that everyone is welcome.
Compared with the last meeting, these three are both low-key and much more enthusiastic, as can be seen from the expressions on their faces.
At 11:30 at night in Shencheng, Nasdaq has opened for 2 hours, and YIKE stock has not been suspended miraculously, which makes everyone continue yesterday's carnival.
By the time Fang Zhuo walked into the conference room, Yike’s stock price had risen from yesterday’s closing price of $286.94 to $418.6, which was 4.67 times that of last Friday, and its market value was crazy close to $1200 billion.
Volkswagen's market value once reached 3000 billion euros in a short squeeze last year, surpassing Exxon Mobil to become the world's number one.
Now, some media believe that Yike will also take advantage of the short run to surpass Exxon Mobil again and become the world's number one.
In this way, there is still a lot of room for growth.
"Everyone has worked hard." Fang Zhuo said with a smile as he took the coffee handed by the secretary.
The three of them are all humble: "No hard work, no hard work, it's all part of their duty."
Ian, Philip, and Grant all have thick dark circles on their faces, especially Philip, whose head has been traumatized twice.
Fang Zhuo took a sip of his coffee, nodded and said, "Okay, let's watch the market."
Determining the price of this block trade was probably the easiest.
Fang Zhuo and Paulson unanimously agreed to use Yike's stock price at 12 noon Eastern Time on Tuesday as the block trading price.
As for how long the follow-up can last, it depends on the pressure exerted by the SEC.
If it is really impossible to coordinate, the SEC will be completely angry, and Yike will suspend trading in the market, that is also the business of Goldman Sachs.
According to the current situation and the attitude of the big client that Kong Yu is in contact with, the Yike settlement option may be announced at noon on Wednesday, and the market will close at 4 o'clock on Wednesday at the latest.
At the same time, the MIGA fund will start secret shipments this afternoon, which is also to avoid the risk of a forced suspension by the SEC, and another part will be placed tomorrow morning.
Fang Zhuo delivers 2% through block trades, and this 2% is released in the hands of large institutions, while block trades are not included in real-time market prices, and the trading volume is included in the total stock trading volume after the close.
The MIGA Fund first delivered 2% through the secondary market, and these 2% were turned into tradable shares. By tomorrow, the remaining 2.9% and Yike’s 5% option settlement will be released successively, and this short squeeze harvest is basically completed.
At the same time, various information disclosures will strictly abide by the relevant regulations of the SEC and NASDAQ.
According to the 13D clause of the US "Williams Act", although the MIGA fund holding 4.9% did not reach the threshold, it has become Fang Zhuo's concerted action person this time and must also make an information declaration.
It's just that this time can be put on the next day.
Relatively speaking, other markets around the world, such as the United Kingdom, have stricter regulations in this regard, requiring disclosure before noon of the next day, and Xiangjiang is the most stringent, requiring disclosure before 9:[-] am of the next day.
All in all, Fang Zhuo and his team had already made all preparations, and they wanted to get a ticket safely and honestly make a mobile phone.
Projection is used in the conference room so that everyone can clearly see the changes of YIKE stock price in Nasdaq.
It's very quiet today, only the occasional movement of the cup, and there are very few whispered discussions.
418.60 dollars.
428.48 dollars.
441.29 dollars.
The simple change in the stock price represents an increase in the market value of billions of dollars.
Rao is the absolute top of the three major organizations, and Ian, Philip, and Grant rarely see this kind of speed.
"Yo." Fang Zhuo suddenly broke the silence of the conference room.
Ian was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Fang?"
"The Wall Street Journal's report has changed its direction. They said that I was the hero who sounded the alarm to the SEC." Fang Zhuo laughed dumbly. "It's too fast. I'm not ready to be a hero yet."
Ian heard such a trivial matter, and said gently: "There are too many people in the Journal, and it is inevitable that there will be differences of opinion. I heard that the other party who always made bad remarks has left the "Wall Street Journal."
Fang Zhuo looked at Ian in surprise. He was so well informed and paid attention to such details. The previous report must have been bought by the Carlyle Group.
Ian responded with a friendly smile.
Fang Zhuo continued to browse the next twitter message on his mobile phone, and read it casually: "Yesterday, my brother who studies finance was going to write a paper on Yike's short squeeze. The King's Treatise."
He said with a smile: "This finance is really interesting. Once retail investors form a group, they can turn to harvest institutions."
Ian disagreed with this, and commented: "The retail investors are not in one accord, and this is only temporary."
Fang Zhuo looked at Ian and said leisurely: "But the new Internet platform has the opportunity to give retail investors the will to unite, doesn't it?"
Ian suddenly didn't dare to answer, Mr. Fang was bad enough, don't use the bullshit retail king incident to make it worse.
While the two were talking, Yike's stock price had jumped to $470.49, and it could break through $12 at 500:[-] noon in New York.
Fang Zhuo put down his phone and looked at the jumping numbers.
Just when he was about to speak, the secretary Liu Zonghong suddenly received a call, and then quietly walked to the boss to report the situation.
However, just in the middle of the report, there was a faint noise outside the meeting room, occasionally mixed with the sound of hammering the door.
The top management of the three major organizations are on alert at the same time, people from the small and medium organizations have touched it?Has Boss Fang brought enough bodyguards?
"It's Henry from Bridgewater." Fang Zhuo said flatly, "Do you need to let it in?"
Philip breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said, "No need, Mr. Fang, let him disappear."
Boom!dong dong!
It no longer sounded like knocking on the door, but head banging on the door.
Fang Zhuo still couldn't bear it, he waved his hand and said, "Let it in, don't kill me here."
The door of the conference room was opened, and Henry climbed into the conference room.
Philip, Ian, and Grant were expressionless.
Henry stood up, closed the door immediately, then tore off his tie and fell to the ground, angrily said: "How dare you! How dare you betray Bridgewater!"
Fang Zhuo saw that this man was still looking at him, and said innocently: "Don't look at me like that, we have always been opposites, how can I dare or not? I don't bother to interfere in your affairs."
Anyway, today is just a delivery with Goldman Sachs, and how to deal with it in the future is Goldman Sachs' business.
Hearing what the world's richest man said, Henry wanted to whitewash himself, and became even angrier: "Don't think that I haven't inquired about you in the past few days in China. Don't you know what your own reputation is? Without your approval , How dare they!"
It's not that he didn't gain anything in Shencheng, and he knew even the details about the word-of-mouth of a venture capital hunter.
This person surnamed Fang was full of malice from the beginning to the end. The "Wall Street Journal" said it well, this is Fang Zhuo's long-planned plan!
Fang Zhuo sneered.
Seeing Mr. Fang sneer, Henry quickly turned his anger to the person who made him even more angry. They all came together, but they did such a thing!
"Philip, you Goldman Sachs wait to go to court!" Henry frowned, "The China Securities Regulatory Commission is waiting to send you and Fabrice to court! You wait! You wait!"
He looked again at Carlyle's Ian.
Ian returned his polite gaze.
Henry sneered and said, "Ian, Philip came to me first. He wanted to kick your Carlyle Group out. I always thought I should stick to some bottom lines. It seems that I was wrong!"
Ian was stunned and turned to look at Philip.
Henry finally said to Grant of the German Group: "Any attempt to attack Bridgewater will be punished, and it will never succeed. As long as I can't get out of this conference room, the outside will immediately mess up the things you sat down to negotiate. Fly all over the sky!"
He turned his attention to the leader in the conference room again.
Fang Zhuo felt that Henry really thought too much about himself, what is meant by "can't get out of this conference room", that's not enough.
Henry stood in the conference room like an unyielding fighter.
Fang Zhuo took a sip of his cold coffee.
Philip exchanged glances with Ian and Grant. This is the end of the matter, let's talk about it, it's better than things being messed up or causing a chain reaction.
Intensive communication soon sounded in the conference room.
Henry sat in the fifth position on behalf of Bridgewater.
In just 10 minutes, the results were discussed. The time is tight and no delay is allowed. Goldman Sachs 0.6%, Carlyle 0.55%, Dean 0.55%, and Bridgewater 0.3%.
Fang Zhuo listened to the new plan without any comments, and calmly accepted the four families who were sitting together again.
At 11:500 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, Yike's stock price has exceeded $[-].
"There is still half an hour." Fang Zhuo glanced at the time, it was also 0:30 in the morning of Shanghai.
Philip swallowed, afraid that there would be some twists and turns in the last half hour.
However, apart from the still beating numbers, this half hour was exceptionally peaceful.
518.58 dollars.
The final fixing price for a block trade.
It also means that 2% of the shares are worth $29.633 billion.
This is the part of the money jointly handed over by the four major organizations.
Goldman Sachs had already prepared a series of documents, which were passed on to the lawyers and legal team in the adjacent conference room for review.
The numbers on the projection are still beating.
But the top executives of the four major organizations finally felt relieved.
"Mr. Fang, Yi Ke can be included in financial textbooks." Ian said with some congratulations.
Fang Zhuo shook his head slightly: "What use is this to me? If you hadn't shorted Yike, how could such a situation have happened? I don't know how many people I have offended this time, and you have really hurt me."
The four of them cursed inwardly at the same time, each lowering their heads to cover their expressions.
Document review takes time.
Soon, Ian saw the latest news from Twitter eaters on his mobile phone.
——Mr. Fang paid attention to a new question on Quora: How to make assets outperform inflation?
Ian didn't know what to say.
He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Fang, our Carlyle Group has an extremely professional financial management team that can help you increase the value of your assets."
Fang Zhuo's gaze became miraculous, and he asked, "You are so professional, why are you sitting here?"
Ian: "..."
None of the other three brought shame upon themselves.
Ian became more frustrated and courageous, regardless of Mr. Fang's harm to his own organization - one of his funds has been forced to liquidate, he still admires this Huaxia person: "Mr. Fang, your funds will be placed in MIGA Fund?"
"Not necessarily, maybe buy another private jet. My current one seems a bit small." Fang Zhuo shared his thoughts sincerely, "Or, use a third-party company to buy some patents. Our patents are still too weak. It was a very profound lesson."
Yike's patent issue has not been resolved yet.
Ian slightly licked his dry lips.
Fang Zhuo said with fascination: "Or, buying a yacht is also good. I can invite Kallasvuo Kallasvuo from Nokia on the yacht. For this sake, Nokia will soon face the outcome of Yike's lawsuit. It won't tell us. And, the development in the second half of the year will definitely be sluggish, and the price paid by Yike and Nokia may not be more serious."
Nokia is stuck with patents, is it serious?
The foreseeable future is pretty serious.
How serious is it?Just like Yike is now.
The irrational market, the squeezed space, the crazy retail investors, the headache of benefit exchange, the uneasy mood, the despair of small and medium-sized institutions, all kinds of situations in the past four days have made the top four institutions like tireless hamsters.
However, at this moment, the hamster seemed to have jumped off the running wheel, and his tired mind suddenly became clear.
There was an unpredictable atmosphere in the quiet conference room.
Fang Zhuo was still talking about the stock assets he delivered: "Or, it would be good for me to buy an office building in New York and rent it to the company as the headquarters. The money should be enough to buy the building. We need a spacious place to talk about patents. I hope Microsoft , Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, HTC, etc. can sit down and have a good discussion, eh, forget it, let’s not talk about it, the stock has not been delivered yet, what if something goes wrong?"
He accepted the plan.
"No, no." Philip rubbed his fingers, instead of looking at Boss Fang, he kept his eyes on the desk.
Fang Zhuo nodded his head as if he had nothing to do, and became old again.
After a long time, the review in the office next door was over. Goldman Sachs was still very professional in this area, and there were hardly any objections.
Fang Zhuo readily signed and filled in the information disclosure that needs to be reported tomorrow.
By the time the complicated documents were signed, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Fang Zhuo put down the pen, and commented on himself: "I am a knife-mouthed bean curd heart."
The four of them all looked at Mr. Fang, who had a knife in his mouth and a knife in his heart. The current richest man in the world didn't know how many knives he had in his heart.
"Otherwise, can I let Henry in? No one cares about him outside, right?" Fang Zhuo gave an example right in front of him.
Henry took two steps and stretched out his right hand.
At the moment when he grasped the top of the hand, it seemed that the fatigue of many days had been expelled, and there was suddenly strength in his hand.
"Bridgewater Foundation thanks Mr. Fang." Henry's voice was a little low, and he stared into Mr. Fang's eyes.
Fang Zhuo let him hold his hand heavily, stared at him without avoiding his eyes, and asked lightly, "Really?"
This look is too calm.
Henry's heart beat suddenly faster, and a creepy feeling came to his heart.
He had heard Mr. Fang's name in the past, and he had read the other party's profile when shorting Yi Ke, but this time he really dealt with him face to face and left a deep impression on him.
At this moment, the impression seemed to become blurred all of a sudden, only the expressionless eyes in front of him were reflected in my heart.
Emotionless, cold and indifferent, like a feline ruthlessly playing with mice.
"Yes, Mr. Fang, Bridgewater welcomes your investment. We have the most professional services in the world, but occasionally we lose in front of the richest man in the world." Henry spit out the flattery words out of his throat as if uncontrollably.
He wanted to let go.
Instead, Fang Zhuo shook the hand of the vice president of Bridgewater again, with a smile on his face: "It's just a fluke, I believe in Bridgewater."
He let go and shook hands with the other three.
The formalities were complete, but it was already late, Mr. Fang led his people away.
In the conference room, there are still four high-level executives who came to China on this trip.
"What are you looking at?" Carlyle's Ian suddenly asked the stunned Henry.
Henry turned his head and saw Ian's familiar sharp eyes.
He said slowly: "I'm looking at Fang Zhuo who has left. I want to see where his funds come from and what kind of clients his MIGA fund has."
Based on the exquisite design alone, Yike would not be able to open the market on Monday, and there would not be so many twists and turns, and there would be no need to pay such a high price.
"As long as you know that he has a certain amount of funds, as long as you know that he has connected a group of people." Ian narrowed his eyes, "ITC is very angry with Yike's situation."
Of course, Henry knew that the ITC was very angry at the fact that the preliminary ruling was invalid or even became Yike’s bait in disguise. The newly replaced trial judge was an affiliated client of Bridgewater Fund.
It's just that at this moment, the night is deep, and I always feel cool.
"Take care of the matter in front of me first, and I'll make a call over there." Henry took a long breath, and the matter was considered over.
He turned and left the conference room.
Ian watched Henry's back leave, and saw the thoughtful expressions of Grant and Philip again.
He believed in Qiaoshui, and believed that Qiaoshui would not let it go.
One does not stumble over the same rock twice.
Mysterious Man ultimately ended in failure.
(End of this chapter)
The retail king's magic baton works too well.
Although Fang Zhuo had expected it, he couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw this miraculous effect.
Financial markets are so much fun!
He patrolled on Twitter for a while, watching many media outlets gradually fall silent, and then he was content to call it a day.
It's evening on the US side, and early morning on Shencheng's side.
Speaking of which, the short sellers haven't been able to sleep well these days, and they themselves haven't been able to sleep well either, either because of a call from the SEC, or Kong Yu, or the attempts to contact several large institutions, or the concern of domestic leaders.
The matter is urgent. If it wasn't for the short sellers sleeping in Yike's lounge, I would probably have to live in the company too.
While eating breakfast, Fang Zhuo was still concerned about the situation of Hang Lung while reading the newspaper.
Ever since the short sellers came to Shanghai, and since the first short seller warmly greeted him, the Hang Lung Building had to step up its security work, and had to temporarily close every jumping place, even the doors to the roof were locked.
Thanks to the seriousness and responsibility of the property management, the current situation in this area is not bad. Except for a few who were sent to the hospital due to physical reasons, and a few who have already flown back to the United States to deal with bankruptcy procedures, the mood of the others is still relatively stable.
Just after breakfast, secretary Liu Zonghong knocked on the door and came in holding a notebook.
In the past few days, the contact information has been changed frequently, but the video conference channel inside Yike remains smooth.
"President Yu." Liu Zonghong said in a low voice.
Fang Zhuo nodded, put down the newspaper in his hand, and looked at his notebook: "Morning, oh, good evening, what instructions does Mr. Yu have? Has Microsoft produced results?"
Goldman Sachs has already helped mediate Microsoft's patent matters in the United States in order to show its sincerity, or directly confirm the cooperation.
"Microsoft initially agreed to mutual authorization, which is the authorization between the mobile phone manufacturer equipped with the WM system and our Yike, but there are too many patents on that side, although there are many non-essential patents...the number is still a lot, which requires us to make up for it. Different price."
"Well, Nokia doesn't know if there will be a model equipped with WM, but we have communicated on this point, and Microsoft also agrees that even if Nokia is equipped with WM, it will not be in the scope of mutual authorization."
It has been established that Microsoft and Yike mutually authorize each other, rather than Microsoft and Android.
Secondly, the mortal enemy Nokia is still a mortal enemy, and will not take advantage of this convenience, and is still in the category of key patents being stuck.
Finally, Yike has to make up the appropriate price difference for patent licensing.
These are very reasonable negotiations.
Fang Zhuo drank tea, listened to Mr. Yu's report, and nodded slightly, indicating that he was listening.
"Microsoft's current asking price is $8 a set. This price has been cut from $10. Now their attitude is quite firm." Yu Hong said after considering, "According to the other side, they plan to sue Samsung, and they also want to sue Samsung." Talking about this patent fee, the starting point is at least 20 US dollars.”
A set of 8 dollars, with the momentum of Yike this year, this is an expenditure of at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
Fang Zhuoren in Shencheng did not express his opinion lightly, but only made a small opinion: "Microsoft has not sued us yet, and the prosecution in this regard is also time-consuming. If we receive patent fees from our side, follow-up with Samsung They're easier to talk about."
The bosses of the camp have already paid the money, why don't you weigh it?
You can use Microsoft's psychology of wanting to open up fees to bargain again.
Yu Hong understood Mr. Fang's meaning and said, "We are not in a hurry, we can talk about it again."
She paused and continued: "Today I want to discuss something with you. On the 26th of this month, Samsung's new phone conference will be held. At that time, Google CEO Schmidt will come forward. Well, there is also Verizon. It is said that , Samsung is very confident this time.”
Samsung moved ahead of the press conference, and Verizon also took off the shelves of Yike’s suspected infringing models ahead of schedule. It is obvious that they want to impact the status of the big brother of the camp.
"There is a lot of movement in our current stock market. The most important thing is that the loss of Verizon's channels is indeed a blow. I think it is necessary for Yike to use your name as the world's richest man." Yu Hong said internally Discussion opinion, "If possible, we also want to bring the press conference before Samsung."
"We still use our first pre-sale method before the distribution is in place."
"You will host the online press conference in Shanghai. You must attend this time, otherwise it will be a waste of your enthusiasm these days. We want to transfer the enthusiasm to the company's products, and we must firmly establish the name of the king of Android phones. It's in your hands."
Samsung is coming aggressively, which can be regarded as a preparatory effort after the trial period.
No matter how turbulent the financial market is, Yike still has to sell its products well.
Fang Zhuo pondered for a moment, knowing that this was a serious matter: "Okay, I'll do it."
"The publicity department plans to take advantage of the situation to pile up a bunch of advertisements for the occasion." Yu Hong said with a smile, "What's the 'mobile phone used by the richest man in the world', 'co-branded by a mysterious person'... and for this Yike incident The laser-engraved commemorative edition of , there will be some quotations from you."
"Oh yes, they also plan to go to "Harry Potter" for a joint venture."
Fang Zhuo followed with a smile: "Stop joking."
"I'm not joking with you, Mr. Fang, you have to know what Verizon's channel means to us." Yu Hong said seriously, "If you don't want to, you have to convince yourself to sacrifice for the company. I'm in New York You can feel the impact of this short squeeze."
She added: "Also, this 'retail king' just happened...I got an apology call from GLG Fund, you are too influential."
Yu Hong can get first-hand news and witness the grand occasion on the front line.
"It can't be my fault. It can only be said that retail investors have been suffering from institutions for a long time." Fang Zhuo said.
The mood of retail investors is to pick up.
"When will this end?" Yu Hong asked the specific time.
Fang Zhuo replied, "It's almost Wednesday 22nd, according to your time."
"Then we will strike while the iron is hot and hold a development conference on the 23rd, make up for the public opinion brought this time to the product to the greatest extent, and start preparing for pre-sales in large and small channels today." Yu Hong made a decisive decision, and considering the style of the boss, deliberately Said, "You can say whatever you want at the press conference, and you can also hold a short squeeze victory declaration meeting."
The thoughts in Fang Zhuo's mind kept coming and going. This was originally assigned to Mr. Yu, but now it is a temporary task.
"Okay, prepare a manuscript for me over there, and I will refer to it."
Yu Hong was a little surprised. Fang was always the kind of person who could talk for hours without opening his mouth. What kind of manuscript did he want?
She agreed first, and planned to collect the front-line situation in the past few days, and also provide some materials for the boss.
As soon as the video call ended, Fang Zhuo just took a few breaths, and the secretary Liu Zonghong handed over the phone non-stop.
This is from Goldman Sachs Phillips.
Philip hopes to confirm the time of today's meeting again.
Because of the time difference, 10:30 in Shanghai tonight is 09:30 in New York on Tuesday, which means Nasdaq will open again.
Goldman Sachs Emperor Paulson has already finalized the cooperation intention, and the most important two things, share and time, have been determined, and the specifics are handed over to Philip who led the team to China this time.
"Nine o'clock in the evening? It's too early, just twelve o'clock in the evening." Fang Zhuo disagreed with Philip's time.
At nine o'clock tonight, Nasdaq hasn't opened yet, so what are you doing sitting in the conference room.
"Mr. Fang, Carlyle, Dexie and I all hope that this time will be more abundant. It will be eleven o'clock at night at the latest. After all, we still have to communicate with our respective companies." Philip said sincerely.
Just as Fang Zhuo was about to speak, he suddenly noticed the element: "Where is Qiaoshui?"
This time, among the five major organizations, Insman was kicked out when communicating with Paulson, and the remaining four were all American companies.
Phillips said: "Ian, Carlyle and Grant at Dessert don't think Henry should be in this meeting."
Fang Zhuo understood that this was another family that was killed internally, and the three companies did not know how to communicate, kicking Bridgewater out.
He pondered: "The share of this big deal..."
"Of course it's still the same 2 percent," Philip said. "Goldman Sachs 0.7 percent, Carlyle 0.65 percent, Deutsche Bank 0.65 percent."
Compared with the average share initially discussed, Goldman Sachs received 0.2% more, and the other two each received 0.15% more.
Fang Zhuo's stock was to be delivered to Goldman Sachs, which then delivered it to Carlyle and Dessert. Naturally, the prices of the two deliveries were different, and the information disclosure submitted to the SEC was the next day.
This was the framework established during the communication with Paulson.
However, now there are some differences in details.
"Okay, it can be regarded as the medical expenses paid by Henry for you." Fang Zhuo confirmed it, and he asked Philip about the second injury.
Philip breathed a sigh of relief. This is really possible. Mr. Fang only needs to deliver 2%, and it doesn't matter which ones. Among them, Carlyle has the most abundant political resources. The relatively embarrassing Bridgewater Fund was voted out after a short communication.
Although Bridgewater did not vote, the 3 votes of Goldman Sachs, Carlyle, and Dessert were just over half.
Five deals are too crowded, four are just right.
"Then see you at eleven o'clock in the evening. I also want to settle this matter early." Fang Zhuo sighed, "From now on, I will be my company, and you will be your fund. Everyone go their separate ways."
Philip quickly said: "President Fang, there is still a lot of room for cooperation between us."
Fang Zhuo smiled and hung up the phone.
He had a really good impression of Philip, and he only hoped that he would not see him again next time.
It's still early, but the company can't go, and there's still a bunch of bewildered short representatives nestled there.
Yike stock has opened smoothly, and all the short-selling institutions have suffered heavy losses. Perhaps this group of people is still hoping for a settlement from the SEC, perhaps also hoping for negotiations with large institutions, or perhaps, they have already guessed that they have been abandoned.
But what can we do?
Reviewing from the current time point forward, it seems that the moment when I started shorting Yike, the outcome of the matter was already doomed.
The financial market is willing to gamble and admit defeat, but this time the loss was particularly miserable.
During the daytime on Tuesday in Shanghai time, Fang Zhuo had a relatively relaxed whole time since returning to China.
Domestic leaders observe the situation, domestic media digests information, short sellers are like walking dead, large institutions are busy with internal negotiations, and the waves caused by foreign countries seem to never exist as long as they put down their mobile phones.
Only the top executives of the SEC and Nasdaq Flying to Shanghai are still trying to promote the settlement of the whole matter.
However, Fang Zhuo expressed his willingness to resolve this matter with Nasdaq CEO Robert and Tristan, one of the five SEC members, but their impatience was quickly suppressed by other forces.
Fang Zhuo said: "Yes, this matter can be settled by option settlement on Tuesday."
However, regardless of Robert or Tristan, their receipts have encountered alternative feedback.
The two gradually became silent.
They didn't even try to release this statement from Mr. Fang to the outside world.
The parties are willing to reconcile, but others and even the previous victims are not willing to reconcile the parties, this... let's wait.
The large organizations that had been threatening, mobilizing resources, and buying the media had already switched positions, and proactively postponed the end of the Yike incident without hesitation, not on Tuesday, but on Wednesday at the earliest.
Large customers and some large institutions have formed a confluence of wishes, which together determine the direction of Yike's stock price.
Fang Zhuo was quite comfortable during the day. He first listened to the market report from Yike Huaxia, and then talked to Qiu Ciyun in Germany to hear about the construction progress there. Finally, he took a nap while he still had time. Adjust the time difference and prepare for a new day at NASDAQ at night.
It was late at night in Shencheng, and most people had already gone to sleep.
From ten o'clock, Goldman Sachs Philip, Carleigh Ian, and Grant Grant were waiting for Mr. Fang's arrival in the hotel's high-level business conference room.
However, the agreed eleven o'clock did not appear, and Mr. Fang did not arrive until 11:30.
"Mr. Fang, good evening."
When the three of them saw Mr. Fang, they stood up to welcome him together.
Fang Zhuo pressed his right hand falsely, signaling that everyone is welcome.
Compared with the last meeting, these three are both low-key and much more enthusiastic, as can be seen from the expressions on their faces.
At 11:30 at night in Shencheng, Nasdaq has opened for 2 hours, and YIKE stock has not been suspended miraculously, which makes everyone continue yesterday's carnival.
By the time Fang Zhuo walked into the conference room, Yike’s stock price had risen from yesterday’s closing price of $286.94 to $418.6, which was 4.67 times that of last Friday, and its market value was crazy close to $1200 billion.
Volkswagen's market value once reached 3000 billion euros in a short squeeze last year, surpassing Exxon Mobil to become the world's number one.
Now, some media believe that Yike will also take advantage of the short run to surpass Exxon Mobil again and become the world's number one.
In this way, there is still a lot of room for growth.
"Everyone has worked hard." Fang Zhuo said with a smile as he took the coffee handed by the secretary.
The three of them are all humble: "No hard work, no hard work, it's all part of their duty."
Ian, Philip, and Grant all have thick dark circles on their faces, especially Philip, whose head has been traumatized twice.
Fang Zhuo took a sip of his coffee, nodded and said, "Okay, let's watch the market."
Determining the price of this block trade was probably the easiest.
Fang Zhuo and Paulson unanimously agreed to use Yike's stock price at 12 noon Eastern Time on Tuesday as the block trading price.
As for how long the follow-up can last, it depends on the pressure exerted by the SEC.
If it is really impossible to coordinate, the SEC will be completely angry, and Yike will suspend trading in the market, that is also the business of Goldman Sachs.
According to the current situation and the attitude of the big client that Kong Yu is in contact with, the Yike settlement option may be announced at noon on Wednesday, and the market will close at 4 o'clock on Wednesday at the latest.
At the same time, the MIGA fund will start secret shipments this afternoon, which is also to avoid the risk of a forced suspension by the SEC, and another part will be placed tomorrow morning.
Fang Zhuo delivers 2% through block trades, and this 2% is released in the hands of large institutions, while block trades are not included in real-time market prices, and the trading volume is included in the total stock trading volume after the close.
The MIGA Fund first delivered 2% through the secondary market, and these 2% were turned into tradable shares. By tomorrow, the remaining 2.9% and Yike’s 5% option settlement will be released successively, and this short squeeze harvest is basically completed.
At the same time, various information disclosures will strictly abide by the relevant regulations of the SEC and NASDAQ.
According to the 13D clause of the US "Williams Act", although the MIGA fund holding 4.9% did not reach the threshold, it has become Fang Zhuo's concerted action person this time and must also make an information declaration.
It's just that this time can be put on the next day.
Relatively speaking, other markets around the world, such as the United Kingdom, have stricter regulations in this regard, requiring disclosure before noon of the next day, and Xiangjiang is the most stringent, requiring disclosure before 9:[-] am of the next day.
All in all, Fang Zhuo and his team had already made all preparations, and they wanted to get a ticket safely and honestly make a mobile phone.
Projection is used in the conference room so that everyone can clearly see the changes of YIKE stock price in Nasdaq.
It's very quiet today, only the occasional movement of the cup, and there are very few whispered discussions.
418.60 dollars.
428.48 dollars.
441.29 dollars.
The simple change in the stock price represents an increase in the market value of billions of dollars.
Rao is the absolute top of the three major organizations, and Ian, Philip, and Grant rarely see this kind of speed.
"Yo." Fang Zhuo suddenly broke the silence of the conference room.
Ian was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Fang?"
"The Wall Street Journal's report has changed its direction. They said that I was the hero who sounded the alarm to the SEC." Fang Zhuo laughed dumbly. "It's too fast. I'm not ready to be a hero yet."
Ian heard such a trivial matter, and said gently: "There are too many people in the Journal, and it is inevitable that there will be differences of opinion. I heard that the other party who always made bad remarks has left the "Wall Street Journal."
Fang Zhuo looked at Ian in surprise. He was so well informed and paid attention to such details. The previous report must have been bought by the Carlyle Group.
Ian responded with a friendly smile.
Fang Zhuo continued to browse the next twitter message on his mobile phone, and read it casually: "Yesterday, my brother who studies finance was going to write a paper on Yike's short squeeze. The King's Treatise."
He said with a smile: "This finance is really interesting. Once retail investors form a group, they can turn to harvest institutions."
Ian disagreed with this, and commented: "The retail investors are not in one accord, and this is only temporary."
Fang Zhuo looked at Ian and said leisurely: "But the new Internet platform has the opportunity to give retail investors the will to unite, doesn't it?"
Ian suddenly didn't dare to answer, Mr. Fang was bad enough, don't use the bullshit retail king incident to make it worse.
While the two were talking, Yike's stock price had jumped to $470.49, and it could break through $12 at 500:[-] noon in New York.
Fang Zhuo put down his phone and looked at the jumping numbers.
Just when he was about to speak, the secretary Liu Zonghong suddenly received a call, and then quietly walked to the boss to report the situation.
However, just in the middle of the report, there was a faint noise outside the meeting room, occasionally mixed with the sound of hammering the door.
The top management of the three major organizations are on alert at the same time, people from the small and medium organizations have touched it?Has Boss Fang brought enough bodyguards?
"It's Henry from Bridgewater." Fang Zhuo said flatly, "Do you need to let it in?"
Philip breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said, "No need, Mr. Fang, let him disappear."
Boom!dong dong!
It no longer sounded like knocking on the door, but head banging on the door.
Fang Zhuo still couldn't bear it, he waved his hand and said, "Let it in, don't kill me here."
The door of the conference room was opened, and Henry climbed into the conference room.
Philip, Ian, and Grant were expressionless.
Henry stood up, closed the door immediately, then tore off his tie and fell to the ground, angrily said: "How dare you! How dare you betray Bridgewater!"
Fang Zhuo saw that this man was still looking at him, and said innocently: "Don't look at me like that, we have always been opposites, how can I dare or not? I don't bother to interfere in your affairs."
Anyway, today is just a delivery with Goldman Sachs, and how to deal with it in the future is Goldman Sachs' business.
Hearing what the world's richest man said, Henry wanted to whitewash himself, and became even angrier: "Don't think that I haven't inquired about you in the past few days in China. Don't you know what your own reputation is? Without your approval , How dare they!"
It's not that he didn't gain anything in Shencheng, and he knew even the details about the word-of-mouth of a venture capital hunter.
This person surnamed Fang was full of malice from the beginning to the end. The "Wall Street Journal" said it well, this is Fang Zhuo's long-planned plan!
Fang Zhuo sneered.
Seeing Mr. Fang sneer, Henry quickly turned his anger to the person who made him even more angry. They all came together, but they did such a thing!
"Philip, you Goldman Sachs wait to go to court!" Henry frowned, "The China Securities Regulatory Commission is waiting to send you and Fabrice to court! You wait! You wait!"
He looked again at Carlyle's Ian.
Ian returned his polite gaze.
Henry sneered and said, "Ian, Philip came to me first. He wanted to kick your Carlyle Group out. I always thought I should stick to some bottom lines. It seems that I was wrong!"
Ian was stunned and turned to look at Philip.
Henry finally said to Grant of the German Group: "Any attempt to attack Bridgewater will be punished, and it will never succeed. As long as I can't get out of this conference room, the outside will immediately mess up the things you sat down to negotiate. Fly all over the sky!"
He turned his attention to the leader in the conference room again.
Fang Zhuo felt that Henry really thought too much about himself, what is meant by "can't get out of this conference room", that's not enough.
Henry stood in the conference room like an unyielding fighter.
Fang Zhuo took a sip of his cold coffee.
Philip exchanged glances with Ian and Grant. This is the end of the matter, let's talk about it, it's better than things being messed up or causing a chain reaction.
Intensive communication soon sounded in the conference room.
Henry sat in the fifth position on behalf of Bridgewater.
In just 10 minutes, the results were discussed. The time is tight and no delay is allowed. Goldman Sachs 0.6%, Carlyle 0.55%, Dean 0.55%, and Bridgewater 0.3%.
Fang Zhuo listened to the new plan without any comments, and calmly accepted the four families who were sitting together again.
At 11:500 a.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, Yike's stock price has exceeded $[-].
"There is still half an hour." Fang Zhuo glanced at the time, it was also 0:30 in the morning of Shanghai.
Philip swallowed, afraid that there would be some twists and turns in the last half hour.
However, apart from the still beating numbers, this half hour was exceptionally peaceful.
518.58 dollars.
The final fixing price for a block trade.
It also means that 2% of the shares are worth $29.633 billion.
This is the part of the money jointly handed over by the four major organizations.
Goldman Sachs had already prepared a series of documents, which were passed on to the lawyers and legal team in the adjacent conference room for review.
The numbers on the projection are still beating.
But the top executives of the four major organizations finally felt relieved.
"Mr. Fang, Yi Ke can be included in financial textbooks." Ian said with some congratulations.
Fang Zhuo shook his head slightly: "What use is this to me? If you hadn't shorted Yike, how could such a situation have happened? I don't know how many people I have offended this time, and you have really hurt me."
The four of them cursed inwardly at the same time, each lowering their heads to cover their expressions.
Document review takes time.
Soon, Ian saw the latest news from Twitter eaters on his mobile phone.
——Mr. Fang paid attention to a new question on Quora: How to make assets outperform inflation?
Ian didn't know what to say.
He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Fang, our Carlyle Group has an extremely professional financial management team that can help you increase the value of your assets."
Fang Zhuo's gaze became miraculous, and he asked, "You are so professional, why are you sitting here?"
Ian: "..."
None of the other three brought shame upon themselves.
Ian became more frustrated and courageous, regardless of Mr. Fang's harm to his own organization - one of his funds has been forced to liquidate, he still admires this Huaxia person: "Mr. Fang, your funds will be placed in MIGA Fund?"
"Not necessarily, maybe buy another private jet. My current one seems a bit small." Fang Zhuo shared his thoughts sincerely, "Or, use a third-party company to buy some patents. Our patents are still too weak. It was a very profound lesson."
Yike's patent issue has not been resolved yet.
Ian slightly licked his dry lips.
Fang Zhuo said with fascination: "Or, buying a yacht is also good. I can invite Kallasvuo Kallasvuo from Nokia on the yacht. For this sake, Nokia will soon face the outcome of Yike's lawsuit. It won't tell us. And, the development in the second half of the year will definitely be sluggish, and the price paid by Yike and Nokia may not be more serious."
Nokia is stuck with patents, is it serious?
The foreseeable future is pretty serious.
How serious is it?Just like Yike is now.
The irrational market, the squeezed space, the crazy retail investors, the headache of benefit exchange, the uneasy mood, the despair of small and medium-sized institutions, all kinds of situations in the past four days have made the top four institutions like tireless hamsters.
However, at this moment, the hamster seemed to have jumped off the running wheel, and his tired mind suddenly became clear.
There was an unpredictable atmosphere in the quiet conference room.
Fang Zhuo was still talking about the stock assets he delivered: "Or, it would be good for me to buy an office building in New York and rent it to the company as the headquarters. The money should be enough to buy the building. We need a spacious place to talk about patents. I hope Microsoft , Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, HTC, etc. can sit down and have a good discussion, eh, forget it, let’s not talk about it, the stock has not been delivered yet, what if something goes wrong?"
He accepted the plan.
"No, no." Philip rubbed his fingers, instead of looking at Boss Fang, he kept his eyes on the desk.
Fang Zhuo nodded his head as if he had nothing to do, and became old again.
After a long time, the review in the office next door was over. Goldman Sachs was still very professional in this area, and there were hardly any objections.
Fang Zhuo readily signed and filled in the information disclosure that needs to be reported tomorrow.
By the time the complicated documents were signed, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Fang Zhuo put down the pen, and commented on himself: "I am a knife-mouthed bean curd heart."
The four of them all looked at Mr. Fang, who had a knife in his mouth and a knife in his heart. The current richest man in the world didn't know how many knives he had in his heart.
"Otherwise, can I let Henry in? No one cares about him outside, right?" Fang Zhuo gave an example right in front of him.
Henry took two steps and stretched out his right hand.
At the moment when he grasped the top of the hand, it seemed that the fatigue of many days had been expelled, and there was suddenly strength in his hand.
"Bridgewater Foundation thanks Mr. Fang." Henry's voice was a little low, and he stared into Mr. Fang's eyes.
Fang Zhuo let him hold his hand heavily, stared at him without avoiding his eyes, and asked lightly, "Really?"
This look is too calm.
Henry's heart beat suddenly faster, and a creepy feeling came to his heart.
He had heard Mr. Fang's name in the past, and he had read the other party's profile when shorting Yi Ke, but this time he really dealt with him face to face and left a deep impression on him.
At this moment, the impression seemed to become blurred all of a sudden, only the expressionless eyes in front of him were reflected in my heart.
Emotionless, cold and indifferent, like a feline ruthlessly playing with mice.
"Yes, Mr. Fang, Bridgewater welcomes your investment. We have the most professional services in the world, but occasionally we lose in front of the richest man in the world." Henry spit out the flattery words out of his throat as if uncontrollably.
He wanted to let go.
Instead, Fang Zhuo shook the hand of the vice president of Bridgewater again, with a smile on his face: "It's just a fluke, I believe in Bridgewater."
He let go and shook hands with the other three.
The formalities were complete, but it was already late, Mr. Fang led his people away.
In the conference room, there are still four high-level executives who came to China on this trip.
"What are you looking at?" Carlyle's Ian suddenly asked the stunned Henry.
Henry turned his head and saw Ian's familiar sharp eyes.
He said slowly: "I'm looking at Fang Zhuo who has left. I want to see where his funds come from and what kind of clients his MIGA fund has."
Based on the exquisite design alone, Yike would not be able to open the market on Monday, and there would not be so many twists and turns, and there would be no need to pay such a high price.
"As long as you know that he has a certain amount of funds, as long as you know that he has connected a group of people." Ian narrowed his eyes, "ITC is very angry with Yike's situation."
Of course, Henry knew that the ITC was very angry at the fact that the preliminary ruling was invalid or even became Yike’s bait in disguise. The newly replaced trial judge was an affiliated client of Bridgewater Fund.
It's just that at this moment, the night is deep, and I always feel cool.
"Take care of the matter in front of me first, and I'll make a call over there." Henry took a long breath, and the matter was considered over.
He turned and left the conference room.
Ian watched Henry's back leave, and saw the thoughtful expressions of Grant and Philip again.
He believed in Qiaoshui, and believed that Qiaoshui would not let it go.
One does not stumble over the same rock twice.
Mysterious Man ultimately ended in failure.
