Chapter 361
Even if Fang Jie raised the valuation of 51mai to a sky-high price of US$300 billion, overseas investment banks and market makers felt that it was still profitable, so in the end they held their noses and subscribed, and they rushed to get 15% of the shares down.

15% of the shares, that's $45 billion!
All the money belonged to Fang Jie alone!
What he sold was his own shares. Of course, the money belongs to him, including the shares of major domestic express companies purchased with financing funds. Although they are listed as subsidiaries of Boiling Business, they are actually his private assets. .

Some media made rough statistics for fear that the world would not be chaotic. After this financing, the company has not yet been listed, and Fang Jie's net assets have exceeded 70 billion US dollars.

So now he has really secured the title of the richest man in the country, and successfully landed on the covers of "Forbes" and "Time Magazine", becoming "2002 Person of the Year" and "Top [-] Most Influential People in the World".

Well, these are actually nothing to brag about.

This is just the basic operation arranged by overseas market makers before 51mai goes public to collect money. If 51mai is to be successfully listed on Citigroup, of course it has to be hyped with some gimmicks. Fang Jie is like a mascot to attract people from all over the world. Investors participate in this capital feast.

Fang Jie was also very cooperative with this, and even took the initiative to "seek refuge", saying that the 45 billion US dollars will not be brought to China, but will leave 30 billion US dollars to continue investing in the Citigroup securities market.

The euphemistic name is: save the market!
That's right, it's saving the city!
Because no one knows better than him that after 2 years, the bursting of the Internet bubble has come to an end, and the next 20 years will be a trend of bottoming out and rising. Wouldn’t it be a fool not to participate in the “rescue market”?
But after Fang Jie made such bold words, everyone regarded him as a fool.

On August 2002, 8, the third day of the "Supergirl" finals and the second day after the single was released, the NASDAQ index fell to 6 points, which was less than 1200 points away from the lowest point.

Fang Jie decided not to wait any longer, and instructed the asset management team of overseas charitable foundations to clear all short positions directly, and gradually build up long positions gradually depending on the situation below 1200 points.

But instead of being long on the futures index, it was replaced by Microsoft stock, which is more secure and has a high rate of return.

Because of his rebirth, the domestic and foreign economic landscape has been changed to a certain extent, and it is no longer certain how Nasdaq will go in the future. Stocks are not like futures, and they don’t worry about liquidation. Therefore, it is safer and safer to switch the investment target to stocks. Don't worry about it either.

The reason why he chose Microsoft stock is mainly because he judges that Microsoft will be relatively strong in 10 years. After all, their PC-side operating system has formed a near-monopoly ecosystem. Other companies, including Boiling and Huawei, will find it difficult to catch up in this area in the short term other side.

Apple is not necessarily the case. With Huawei's spoiler, I am afraid that this world will really be cut into pieces, so Microsoft's stock is the best choice at present.

After the futures were completely liquidated this time, the funds in the overseas securities account doubled again, reaching 4000 million US dollars.

At this time, the ex-rights price of Microsoft stock is about 42 yuan per share, with a total share capital of 54 billion shares and a total market value of more than 2200 billion US dollars, which has shrunk by two-thirds compared with its peak market value.

Moreover, Fang Jie has carefully calculated according to his own memory. If the calculation is based on the previous restoration of rights, that is, if the share capital changes and trends of Microsoft stock in the next 20 years form a unified price caliber, in fact, the actual value of Microsoft stock at this time is less than 0.1 US dollars. , and in the future, it will rise to more than 300 US dollars!
Therefore, investing in Microsoft stock next is definitely another profitable investment project!

However, if all the US$4000 million is invested, you can only buy 100 million shares of Microsoft stock, converted into lots, that is, 1 lots. There is not even a sound when you throw it in, and the position opening operation is easily completed.

In October, just after the National Day holiday, on October 10th, Nasdaq directly fell below 10 points and closed at 9 points, while Microsoft’s stock price also fell from 1100 yuan per share to around 1088 yuan .

Obviously history has changed, and the Nasdaq did not fall below 1100 points in the previous life.

But Fang Jie's impact was just that. The next day, the market began to rebound, and then Nasdaq started to rise, and it never returned to such a low position.

But at this moment, investors in Citigroup have already fallen into deep fear. The stock market can no longer be described as mourning and despair, but everyone has become numb. Running towards 1100 points, everyone is still extremely pessimistic and does not think the bear market is over.

This is also a reasonable thing. When the market fell from 5100 points to 3800 points, everyone thought that the adjustment was over, but the market quickly fell to 3000 points.

Everyone finally admitted that the bear market was coming, recognized the reality, and patiently waited for the market to fall to around 2200 points. They thought that the bear market should be almost over, but they found that it was still halfway up the mountain.

Later it fell to around 1800 points, and many people shouted in despair: This should be the bottom, right?Is it impossible to fall again?
However, reality continued to hit the face.

Until this day, seeing that the market is about to fall below 1000 points, even if it rebounds a little later, all investors have completely lost confidence, and even the fluke mentality of the past does not exist.

Under such circumstances, Fang Jie, who has already received the first 10 billion US dollars in financing, has just appeared on the cover of "Forbes" magazine, and has become the richest man in China, suddenly announces to investors all over the world-I want to take 30 million US dollars. $[-] million to save Citigroup's stock market!

After hearing the news, the international investors were stunned and began to laugh at Fang Jie in every possible way.

Paralyzed, are you joking internationally! ?

The richest man in Huaguo actually said that he wanted to use money to save the market. What is a fool with a lot of money?This is it!
Not to mention that the Nasdaq has plummeted now, even if it really bottomed out and stabilized, what can you do with this little money?

With a mere $30 billion, you dare to keep saying that you want to save the market. Do you think that the Citigroup securities market is your Huaguo securities market? You think that only a few hundred million RMB or even tens of thousands of RMB can make a stock more than a dozen in a row daily limit?
It just makes people laugh out loud.

But ridicule is ridicule, it is just talking in private, of course it is another set of rhetoric on the surface.

Overseas investors, especially Citigroup investors and the media, expressed their welcome to the move by the richest man in China with a certain gloating mood, and believed that this was a big blow to the Citigroup securities market. A shot in the arm has very important and positive meaning!
You must know that overseas investment banks and market makers are not vegetarians. The Wall Street capital tycoons behind them also have their own market judgment and analysis of the current securities market. Knowing that this stock market crash has almost wiped out the domestic middle class, it should be Time to close the net.

Now someone just stepped forward and made a gimmick that people can't ignore, and he is the richest man in China, which is extraordinary in both commercial and political significance.

What's more, they have invested billions of dollars in 51mai. If the market doesn't get up, and wait for 51mai to go public and fall below the issue price, won't someone jump off the building again?

So all kinds of halos and titles were thrown to Fang Jie. Every day in the media and newspapers, you can always see articles boasting about him, such as how young and rich he is, self-made, and that he was the first one to donate money before. The Hua people even set up a special charity foundation, which was once again picked up by the media and hyped up.

This is the biggest political correctness of Citigroup at present!

After the Wall Street brawl, and Fang Jie himself being very cooperative, he successfully molded him into an international star entrepreneur, a good friend of Citigroup, a man with morality, conscience, and an international vision. Chinese entrepreneurs with the spirit of communism.

In short, regardless of whether the richest man in Huaguo threw his money into the water or not, at least he threw it in the pond of Citigroup. As the saying goes in Huaguo, this rich water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. Of course, he must shape his glorious image. For everyone, there are only advantages and no disadvantages, and they are indeed very friendly all the time, and there is nothing wrong with them.

In fact, as early as when the charity foundation was established, it was originally a move made by Fang Jie. Now he doesn't need to put gold on his face, and people take the initiative to post it. Its significance and promotional effect are even greater than He said that he would use 30 billion US dollars to rescue the market.

As the saying goes, we must do it. As soon as Fang Jie got the financing, he bought Microsoft's stock directly, and almost bought the whole position at the lowest price.

The first tranche of 10 billion US dollars, this order continues, plus 4000 million US dollars from the charitable foundation, bought more than 2700 million Microsoft shares at once!

Don't look at this as a lot, but it actually only accounts for 0.5% of Microsoft's total share capital. At this time, Bill Gates still holds more than 44% of the shares. less than.

This 0.5% stake was not acquired in the secondary market, but was bought directly from Bill Gates.

At this moment, Bill Gates is adjusting Microsoft's shareholding structure, gradually reducing his shareholding in Microsoft, and gradually retreating to the second line, preparing for retirement. This is also the reason why Microsoft's stock price has also continued to fall along with the broader market recently.

After all, investors are not stupid. Although the market has plummeted, Microsoft is still very strong, and the prospects are promising. Everyone will cut off the shares of other companies, and they will not cut off the shares of Microsoft. Recently, Microsoft has fallen sharply by 10. %, it was completely dropped by Bill Gates himself.

Now the richest man in China says he wants to buy shares at the market price. For Bill Gates, he fell asleep and met a pillow. Such a big buyer helped him solve a lot of troubles. If he continues to sell shares in the secondary market, the stock price will only continue. The other shareholders of the company have already had a lot of opinions on this.

For this big deal, Fang Jie made a special trip to Citigroup in mid-October, met with the world's richest man, chatted for a while, had a meal, and signed the relevant share transfer contract.

In addition, in order to cooperate with the publicity campaign of investment banks and market makers, and prepare for the listing of 51mai next year, Fang Jie also held a road show meeting with more than 2000 participants under the arrangement of Wall Street. Investors from the other side promoted the listing plan of 51mai company.

Well, it's actually about telling a story.

As for storytelling, as a reborn person, Fang Jie is very good at it, because the stories he tells are all true, so the content is of course meaningful, targeted, highly logical, and feasible. sex and persuasion.

The investors who originally came to participate in the road show were just running for the various halos on Fang Jie's head and the gimmick of the 30 billion bailout plan. They came to participate in the road show with jokes and curiosity, but found that Fang Jie didn't even have some specific details. The details of the plan were clearly stated, and a very perfect and delicious pie was drawn for them.

In particular, no matter what questions investors ask, even tricky, sensitive or hostile ones, they are easily and casually resolved by Fang Jie, revealing his confidence and confidence, and his unique charisma. As a result, these investors accidentally fell into the pit completely.

Such a good road show effect, in fact, even the Wall Street organizers didn't expect it. They really just asked Fang Jie to fool people at first, but now they found that they not only fooled all investors, but even themselves , I also believe it, and I am more confident in the listing of 51mai.

At this roadshow conference, there is no nonsense about 51mai's investment and listing plans. There are ready-made cases in previous lives that can be used for reference. Fang Jie just opened his mouth and dealt with it easily.

The investors present and Wall Street were really confident in the success of 51mai's listing, thinking that it was a very promising company. The main reason was Fang Jie's English speaking ability, on-the-spot adaptability, sense of humor and personal charm, which were really amazing and made everyone excited. A few investors have completely become his fans.

In other words, compared with 51mai, investors are actually more optimistic about Fang Jie, the young and promising richest man in China, and believe that 51mai will surely succeed under his leadership.

For example, some investors asked at the meeting: "What is your opinion on the current political aspects of Citigroup?
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he continued: "In your country, no matter what topic you talk about, it will always involve politics and eventually boil down to racial issues. I think this is very divisive, and this prejudice should be put aside."

With just one sentence, he brought the topic to the weakness of Citigroup, which is a flaw of the family and cannot be disputed.

So don't talk to us about being superior or not, I just know that your country has a serious racial problem, and it's a kind of division.

However, there is an old saying that exposes people but does not expose weaknesses, and this statement also caused discomfort among the old Americans off the court, thinking that the richest man in China does not seem to be as advertised in the media, but is a bit hostile to our country?

At this moment, Fang Jie said again: "I want to tell you, I think your country needs more Asians. There are too few Asians, really, too few..."

After hearing this half of the sentence, everyone in the audience looked confused, not knowing what Fang Jie meant.

Isn't the issue of race the contradiction between whites and blacks?
Does this have something to do with too few Asians in our country?

"I did a special survey before I came to Citigroup and found that Asians in your country only account for 4.14% of the total population. I think this is very unreasonable. This number needs to increase. This country needs more Asians. Why? Let me tell you why..."

Since he was fooling people but wanted to appear professional, Fang Jie first took a set of data to enhance his persuasiveness, then changed the subject and explained the reason: "Because we Asians, in this race between blacks and whites In the big battle, he is the only referee who can maintain objectivity..."

Before the words were finished, everyone in the audience, whether black or white, burst into laughter.

After a long time, this guy came up with such a nonsensical reasoning, which is simply...

It was obvious that Fang Jie had a serious look, but everyone had already understood that this guy was actually joking, just telling nonsense in a serious manner.

But to say that this is fallacy, does it seem to make sense?

Just after many people laughed and looked thoughtful, they only heard what Fang Jie said next: "Because you, whether you are white or black, don't care about us at all..."

"Hahahahaha..."

Another half sentence made everyone in the audience burst into laughter again.

When Fang Jie expresses in English, he uses a humorous expression that foreigners can understand. This method may not be so funny to Chinese people, but it is actually very substituting if it is an old beauty.

In this half sentence, he actually played two tricks.

One is the original meaning, that is, because old Americans don't care about Asians, Asians can remain objective and serve as referees for both sides.

The other is a further irony, the racial struggle between you whites and blacks is just a child's play, well, both of you actually discriminate against us Asians and yellow races, this is a more serious racial discrimination, but you turn a blind eye?
However, the meaning of this layer is relatively cryptic, and it is said in a humorous way, so not only did it not make foreigners feel uncomfortable, but they found this kind of insinuation very funny. Even they themselves thought it was very funny. How self-deprecating.

After the laughter on the field gradually subsided, Fang Jie suddenly said a reversal: "Of course, we Asians don't care about blacks or whites..."

puff!
The audience laughed again.

Yes, you guys really don't care about Asians, but Asians don't care about you either, so don't be too sentimental.

Of course, this further proves that Asians are the most suitable referees for you.

Fang Jie continued with a serious look: "So, you can trust Asians. When we give you advice, we will not take sides, because it does not involve our personal interests. We can give you an honest judgment , because..."

"We don't care!"

While saying the last sentence, Fang Jie's expression was appropriately exaggerated, as if to further emphasize: Do you look down on Asians?Sorry, I look down on you even more, and I don't even care!
But this is still a kind of humor, so it once again provoked the audience to burst into laughter.

It is estimated that no one thought that a road show would turn into a talk show by Fang Jie, but everyone thought it was very interesting and wanted to continue listening.

Fang Jie also continued to meet their needs: "I heard that something happened in your country recently,
The white people in the field couldn't help laughing again and again, thinking that this really spoke to their hearts, black people are so annoying, is this guy complaining about black people's behavior that does not respect public morals?
"If you see this kind of behavior by black people next time, don't call the police, just call the Asian neighbors who live nearby. I believe that after the Asians come over, they will treat you fairly and without prejudice. arbitration……"

Speaking of this, Fang Jie emphasized the sentence just now: "Because we don't care."

When the laughter broke out again, he said: "Anyway, your country's rugby league or NBA, with our Asian bodies, we can't get in..."

For this kind of self-deprecation, the audience suddenly burst into laughter.

Except for very few existences, the physical fitness of Asians is indeed not suitable for these two competitive sports. This is a fact, but it becomes self-deprecating here.

Fang Jie obviously pays attention to strategy. He can't always blackmail others. A little self-hacking can resolve a lot of hostility. This time, he came to Citigroup to collect money from old beauties. We can't make trouble with money.

"We don't care what day the Super Bowl is, we don't care who the football champions are, and we don't waste money going to NBA games ... so we don't care."

After emphasizing this stalk again, Fang Jie continued: "We just want to make things happen!"

The last sentence "I just want to make things happen" once again made the audience burst into laughter.

The Asians living in Citigroup, especially the Chinese, give me the impression that they are hard-working types who only want to make money and pay attention to actual benefits, and never care about those vain things.

In other words, I am afraid of being poor, so I am very utilitarian. This is actually a kind of self-deprecation, but it makes the old Americans think it is too right, and this is what I observe in real life.

"We just want to make things happen, we go straight, so you can trust us Asians. For example, what I just said about 51mai's listing plan and future prospects is the truth. You can trust me [-]%. Really, I didn't lie to you. "

After mentioning the purpose of this trip, Fang Jie looked at the white people in the field: "Listen, you white people..."

After a pause of half a second, he said with disgust on his face: "Bohemian Rhapsody is really terrible!"

Bohemian Rhapsody is a song recorded and sung by the British rock band Queen. It is very famous. When white people gather together, they like to sing together. The meaning of "Friends".

So just this one sentence won the sympathy of the non-white people and the beautiful people in the audience. Many people clapped their legs and laughed and cheered, expressing their approval of Fang Jie's point of view. This song is too disgusting. Is it annoying for people to pretend to be there at a party?
Sure enough, Fang Jie then made it clear: "Please, for God's sake, at the party, don't you white people sing that song in a crowd, OK? If you have to sing, please stay alone in the bathroom Can you sing well?"

At this time, many people in the audience were already laughing and crying. Although the white people were the targets of the complaints, they also laughed along with them. What he complained about was right, there was no way to deny it.

This is actually Fang Jie complaining about black people just now, and after being black, he complained about white people again. He always never let anyone go. If you want to hurt, everyone hurts together, and no one wants to run away.

Now everyone has fully figured it out. Fang Jie directly turned a politically sensitive topic into a talk show. Not only did he avoid some serious topics, but he actually clarified the complicated contradictions in it, making people laugh at the same time. , can not help but be thought-provoking.

"Of course, this is just my personal suggestion, it's up to you to listen to it or not, anyway..."

When Fang Jie said this, the investors off the court already knew what he was going to say, and answered him directly: "we don't care!"

"YES!" Fang Jie gave the audience a thumbs up, and then changed the subject: "Black friends, listen carefully, you are a bit noisy in the cinema..."

When everyone laughed again, Fang Jie quickly waved his hands to defend himself and said, "I have to emphasize: this does not involve any racial hatred. I have no other intentions. It is just a reference for both of you, OK? As an Asian, I just To give you a solution, that's all."

The more he defended, the louder the laughter off the court. The point of the joke was that he was the one who was complaining about everyone all the time, but now he pretended to be innocent and picked himself out. This is a rascal!

What's even more rogue is that his next sentence caused the audience to scream again and again: "Let me tell you, I think your country needs an Asian president!"

At the same time as the audience screamed, there was also warm applause, especially those Asian or non-Citigroup investors who shouted the most.

It is not politically incorrect to ridicule the president in Citigroup, it is possible to not ridicule. Old Americans like to hear people ridicule their country's president. As long as they make sense, they will not hesitate to give applause.

Fang Jie continued: "Male or female, it doesn't matter. As long as Asians are in the White House, within a week, your country's problems can be completely solved."

It doesn’t matter if we talk about such a sensitive topic now. Everyone has listened to it as a talk show. Not only are they not disgusted, but they are full of laughter, because the efficiency of the old American government is extremely low, but Fang Jie said that as long as an Asian is the president , the problem can be solved within a week, and no matter what the problem is, this efficiency is indeed better than any previous president.

And the explanation given by Fang Jie next made sense: "Because we don't care, because we just want things to happen, because we just want things to go smoothly! Imagine if your government was all run by Asians, OMG , you will see how Asians solve problems one by one according to the work list and plan!"

His speech became faster and faster, and his tone became more and more arrogant: "One problem is solved one problem at a time. There is no other purpose. It is completely based on logic. It doesn't matter whether you are a Republican or a Democrat. It doesn't matter whether you are a Republican or a Democrat." white or black...

"I heard that your government goes through a crisis of bankruptcy every year. Everyone threatens the government to close down...Closed? NONONO! If you let us Asians manage your country, the government will not go bankrupt! In any case, it will not go bankrupt. Come on! We're not going out of business even at Christmas, do you understand?"

"On public holidays, we will go to work as usual! If we don't pay wages and are in arrears for several months, we will go to work as usual!"

What's funny is that after Fang Jie threw out these words loudly, the audience unexpectedly received thunderous applause and cheers, as if he was already running for the president of Citigroup at this moment, and all the investors in the audience became him. surrounded by.

Seeing this scene, Fang Jie waved his hand: "Yes! Seeing you, I knew that everyone would like an Asian president and definitely vote for an Asian president!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the audience reached a climax in an instant, and everyone froze.

Although these words are suspected of subverting other people's regime, everyone knows that this is impossible, so they still listen to it as a joke, and feel that Fang Jie's words are really reasonable, and once again said it to their hearts
Hmm...Actually, Fang Jie didn't mean anything else, just kidding...
