Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 977 Everyone Comes the Same (4K)

The US subprime mortgages triggered the global financial crisis.

This crisis has affected all walks of life, and the financial industry has suffered particularly heavy losses.

However, in such a bleak situation that almost everyone is in danger, there are also several fund managers who insist on shorting and become famous in one battle. John Paulson is the most famous one among them.

In two years, he raked in more than 200 billion U.S. dollars, and personally gained 60 billion. Even if there are so many Wall Street masters, this has set a new record.

After Paulson won the moral criticism of short-selling and the admiration of his peers, his previous resume was also dug up. As early as the Internet bubble in 2000, he led the fund to grow against the trend by short-selling the stocks of Internet companies.

It's just that the Internet bubble was far less rewarding than this one.

Moral criticism had no effect on Paulson, and the House of Representatives hearings and FBI procedures did not hurt him at all. Paulson's short-selling procedures have withstood the test, which made him more popular and even a myth.

The judgment is too accurate, the strike is too ruthless!
Such a Paulson, his flirtatious words have frustrated Yike's stock price, and his influence can be seen.

Such "hedge fund No. 1", he faced the media after attending an industry conference on Wall Street, mostly talking about the future of the fund, and then he was asked by the reporter about the recent areas of interest before he remembered the discussion of his peers and mentioned a simple branch company.

Well, there is no need to call Brother Wang for the time being.

There was silence in the office.

It can only be said that when the planning framework is laid out, whoever is attracted will be out of control.

Fang Zhuo smiled but said, "This is really flooding the Dragon King Temple."

He ended the call and was very happy that Mr. Fang was still full of confidence.

Yes, as Mr. Fang said, Nokia has released a new capacitive screen phone, and Echo, which has patents in this area, has also launched the latest lawsuit. for nearly half a year.

At five o'clock in the evening, Kong Yu left in a hurry, intending to take time to meet with his old friends.

Liang Qihua also talked about the reason for his phone call: "Mr. Fang, that Paulson was right once in a short sale, but it doesn't mean that he will always be right, especially because he doesn't understand the rise of smart phones. Although the stock price fell for a while, we I'm sure it will come back soon."

Kong Yu said very calmly: "If Paulson didn't just talk about it casually, but really wants to do Kong Yike, then he will try the taste of failure soon."

Liang Qihua continued to be impassioned: "Mr. Fang, if Yike continues to develop like this, it will definitely be able to lead the mobile phone industry in the future. I look forward to seeing that day with my own eyes in Yike!"

Others are chasing the myth Paulson, but he doesn't know how to use gasoline holes!
What is the king of short selling, what is the No.1 hedge fund, just come to give him a try!
He expressed his attitude in a deep voice: "Boss Fang, it doesn't matter whether Xiao Bao is helping his peers on the platform or really following us, it doesn't matter who comes this time!"

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly: "He is the king of short selling, can you match him?"

Major shareholders just keep buying.

He instantly understood the hesitation of the Gasoline Man after he entered the office. Since he thought it was his instruction, it must have come through other channels beyond his control.

In addition, taking into account legal risks, executives such as Mr. Su and Mr. Yu were not involved in the fund-raising operation, so as to avoid being charged with insider trading and securities fraud afterwards.

Fang Zhuo had to think that Mr. Liang was right.

Fang Zhuo was still in the office, thinking about how to release the signal from his own perspective.

Large shareholders naturally want to protect the interests of the company, whether they are buying stocks or looking at options, they are all based on this.

Yu Hong understood that this was related to the trend of the financial market, so she agreed.

Also, the latest change now is that the public opinion driven by the head of Nokia also makes people wait and see the patent litigation and future prospects of Yike Company to a certain extent.

"Boss Fang, I wish you a happy old age." Liang Qihua from Xiangjiang Huanyu Capital said as soon as he made a phone call.

I can't bear to part with Brother Wang, and I can't get along with Huanyu.

Kong Yu replied: "There are still 4.9 million US dollars."

"Mr. Fang, in addition to the company's good news, I will also try to speak up when necessary, so as to hedge against Paulson's bearishness."

Although there are differences in positions, financial management ideas can learn from experience.

Fang Zhuo: "..."

Fang Zhuo nodded, thinking about how he, the major shareholder, would speak up for the company.

Geithner's background in the Federal Reserve gives them a lot of room for cooperation.

This still needs to be done by Brother Wang.

Fang Zhuo let out an "oh" and reminded: "We have friends in America."

As the two people's eyes crossed inadvertently, a strange feeling appeared.

Kong Yu nodded. When Yike's stock price rises to an appropriate level, Paulson's name will help to give confidence to short sellers and further attract funds. However, at this point, his voice is not appropriate .

"Let's release the good news first, and I have time to talk about Yike's goals for this year and the development of the mobile phone industry." Fang Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Let's see the effect first. The decline is only temporary, and Xiaobao has a bit of a reputation, but can he forcibly reverse our market performance? Generally speaking, there is no problem."

I thought it was the original allies who still came out to do things!

Soon there was only Fang Zhuo left in the office. He thought about what he needed to say, and once again sorted out the global market of Yike. Next year's models will be critical.

The logic is such a logic, and the patent litigation has gone to a very deep level.

Kong Yu thought about it and said: "It's not difficult to push up the stock price. If necessary, you can force it up, which will make it more frothy, but the cost of capital will increase significantly."

He cleared his throat and pressed answer.

On the afternoon of February 2, the head of the MIGA Fund arrived at the President's Office in New York, and after a brief report, he cautiously put forward his own suggestions.

Similarly, Kong Yu immediately felt that this was an action driven by another part of Mr. Fang's power.

However, his words really surprised Fang Zhuo.

How to forcibly push up the stock price?

Although Huanyu Capital expressed its firm position, the test it needs to face is still to come.

Kong Yu agrees with this point, as he said just now, as long as the framework is formed, no one will come this time.

Kong Yu sighed, and then became filled with righteous indignation: "Xiao Bao actually jumped out at this time! How dare he jump out at this time!"

Paulson on Wall Street said that not only Kong Yu and Liang Qihua followed suit, but related short-selling institutions also used the reputation of "hedge fund No. 1" to deconstruct Yike's situation.

Once it is artificially pushed up, the cost of capital will be too high.

Liang Qihua was relieved, yes, that's it!Huanyu Capital vows to advance and retreat with Yike!

"For a while, it's a good place to avoid risks, especially the financial market in Europe may still be turbulent." Kong Yu mused, "There should be a round of rising prices, but the timing depends on the direction of the European market and the market. The rate hike policy on the Fed's side."

Maybe Paulson really paid attention to Yi Ke, maybe he was in a bad mood, maybe he saw the newspaper temporarily, maybe... no matter what kind of motivation it was based on, he did stand up against the aura of Wall Street, so the reason is no longer important.

"Look at the company's stock price in the past few days. If you take the time to talk to the media about Yike's US market, I have to invite another well-known media to talk about my business philosophy." Fang Zhuo assigned a task.

To this day, Kong Yu has never had any direct communication with Paulson, let alone Fang Zhuo.

However, there are always various factors in the field, just see the tricks and break the tricks.

Holding the mobile phone, Fang Zhuo thought about the situation, and felt that the action to defend Yike was accelerated this time due to factors such as Kallasvuo, Apple, and Paulson.

Fang Zhuo laughed and said, "You thought it was me, and I thought it was you. If you don't come this afternoon or I have something to go to Silicon Valley, how will you handle this matter? Didn't I say that you will do it all?"

What I want to hear is embarrassment, a period of love, not such resoluteness.

Kong Yu endured his astonishment: "No, Mr. Fang, I thought..."

As a major shareholder, the operations of the boss must be open and transparent. From last year to now, this aspect of fundraising has been going on.

Kong Yu pondered, what kind of teasing is Mr. Fang trying to do?
Fang Zhuo felt that the Gasoline Man seemed to want to repeat the explanation and wait for the next one.

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly: "Well, I think so too."

The communication in the president's office didn't last long, and after clarifying the situation, they responded step by step.

The problem is that sometimes being too right is not good.

Fang Zhuo said with a smile: "Mr. Liang, it's too late this year. I've been busy for a long time. I'm afraid the company's stock price will dissatisfy you. But, um, the company is indeed having a bad time with Nokia. I'm working hard solve this problem.”

Financial crisis, toxic assets, European finances and possibly a gold move even more.

Therefore, the fund operation of the MIGA department has been operated through different channels and multi-layer vests, and most of the funds invested in the big short Paulson are European funds.

"Actually, if Xiaobao comes out later, we would like to see him play a role." Fang Zhuo felt a little regretful.

He just asked Mr. Yu to send the latest information on Yike's various markets, and there was a call from a shareholder on the table.

Fang Zhuo's eyes lit up, it turned out to be Mr. Liang from Xiangjiang Huanyu Capital.

"Well, prepare to withdraw and buy stocks. Let Xiaobao make up for the extra money later." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "Xiaobao is bullish on gold now, what do you think of gold?"

"Is it too early for Xiaobao to suppress the stock price at this time?" Kong Yu said.

Kong Yu understood what the boss meant, the news from American friends would be a powerful reference for the market, and if he could profit from it, it would be another deepening of the relationship.

Can the half-blooded Yike continue to thrive in the fiercely competitive mobile phone market?

Liang Qihua didn't see how Mr. Fang was angry at Kallasvuo as a solution to the problem, but he still firmly expressed the purpose of this call: "Mr. Fang, I have confidence in the company. Whether it is Nokia or Paulson, Huanyu Capital will always cooperate with you." Yike stands together."

Just as Paulson’s short-selling fund has no legal problems, MIGA’s short-selling funds also have no legal problems. However, this does not mean that companies such as Yike and Bingxin will not be found after the fact.

Regardless of the outcome of Nokia's subsequent patent lawsuits, Yike has already been cut off half of his blood.

One is that the stock price has not risen in place, and the other is that shareholders such as Shenxin Kechuang and Universal Capital have not been cleared out.

"Mr. Liang, don't worry, Paulson won't bring me any pressure." Fang Zhuo understood what was driving Mr. Liang, and said, "The stock price will rise back soon, so don't worry."

However, as a former important client of the Big Short Fund, Fang Zhuo knew that the main idea of ​​Paulson's fund this year was to buy gold, and he never expected that his former allies would appear in the battlefield he opened up.

Fang Zhuo was very moved: "Well, Mr. Liang, thank you, because of you, Yike's up and down has been warmed up."

Kong Yu had previously connected with Zhao Zhishan, who was in charge of lobbying work, and suddenly understood a certain intention of the boss. If this continues, is there still a difficult business in the world?

Even if Nokia's new phone actually infringes, Yike loses the lawsuit and is banned from sale.

Fang Zhuo asked directly: "Are you looking for someone to bring Xiaobao in for a game?"

The public opinion turmoil between Nokia and Yike is not big or small. Paulson was not interested in it at first, but he heard some people talking about the mobile phone industry and the performance of specific companies during the communication with his peers, and then he had an idea in his heart. impression.

Although Apple has temporarily canceled the cooperation with Nokia, it does not help the fact that Yike violated Nokia's patents.

Why did Xiaobao make a move?
When Fang Zhuo heard the news of the "King of Short Selling", he subconsciously thought it was an operation by the Gasoline Man.

The problem became clear at once!

"Mr. Fang, the materials and targets of the US, Europe, and China markets." Yu Hong sent in the materials requested by the boss.

"Do we still have funds from Xiaobao?" Fang Zhuo asked.

However, on the other hand, if Nokia treats Yike so toughly, it may be difficult for Yike to let go of Nokia in terms of patents, and the final winner may be Apple, which sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight.

He pondered: "Well, Mr. Liang, I understand."

It also means that as long as Nokia does not withdraw the lawsuit, as long as Nokia does not settle, the ITC will still have a high probability of banning the sale of Yike in the end.

I have already talked about Kallasvuo Kallasvuo's mistakes as the head of Yike before. Now, can I change my identity, for example, talk about Yike's success from the perspective of the second best president in the world.

However, there is a gap in time, and the obvious impact of the financial crisis is underestimated, so the operation is understandable.

Relevant analysis articles have been published in the financial media and technology media, which are well-founded and convincing.

Fang Zhuo, who had been silent for two days, couldn't help but like this analysis on Twitter, and then he updated Twitter, clearly conveying the signal.

"As long as Kallasvuo is still the president of Nokia, Echo will not settle with it on patents."

"Time to short Nokia."
