I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 394 Blackstone Capital is also eyeing it!

"Short Inktomi?"

After hearing Lin Xiao's words, Lan Yumo subconsciously glanced at Pang Fei who was driving ahead.

But thinking that since Lin Xiao said this in front of Pang Fei, the other party would naturally be trustworthy.

So at this time, he no longer had any scruples, and asked Lin Xiao, "You believe so much that Google can defeat Inktomi?"

This is not as expensive as Google said to do publicity, etc. If you really want to buy Inktomi short, the funds must be at the level of more than tens of millions of dollars.

In the current situation where the Nasdaq index is rising, if Inktomi does not encounter any adverse news, such an operation is undoubtedly relatively risky, and if it is not done well, it will lose a lot of money.

At this time, Lin Xiao smiled and replied, "80% sure."

He actually thought that was supposed to happen 99 percent of the time, but that felt like an absolute statement.

"80% sure, it can indeed be done." Lan Yumo responded after listening.

"Although the current Nasdaq has ended a round of decline and started to rise, the overall expectations have not been fundamentally reversed. Once there is relatively major bad news, the possibility of a sharp drop in the stock price is indeed relatively large."

As Lan Yumo said, he turned his head to look at Lin Xiao and said, "Since you have such a judgment, why don't you just give it a try? I still have around 3000 million liquid funds in my hand. How much are you going to invest in?"

Lin Xiao thought for a while, and said to Lan Yumo: "Although Inktomi's market value is not low, if we invest all of it, the scale of funds may be too large, and it is unnecessary to be too eye-catching."

"Why don't you just invest 1500 million yuan! If this wave of short buying can make another 1500 million yuan, then we will get back the money we invested in Google."

"Okay!" After Lan Yumo finished listening, she didn't say much, and responded directly.

Lan Yumo's laptop was still in the hotel, and when they got back to the hotel, they were going to go to the room to complete the short sale operation.

Entering the hotel, I didn't expect to run into an acquaintance.

Eric Cohen of Blackstone Capital.

At the beginning, under the matchmaking of Philips, the two parties were already planning to jointly acquire the shares of ASML in the hands of Philips.

But in the end, due to the sudden plunge of ASML's stock price, Blackstone Capital chose to withdraw.

The two can be regarded as meeting once, but they have never really had contact. Now that they met at this time, according to Lin Xiao's thinking, there is no need to pretend that they don't know each other, and there is no need to be too enthusiastic. At this time, Eric- Cohen looked at him, and Lin Xiao smiled at him.

Unexpectedly, Eric Cohen stopped and said to Lin Xiao, "Isn't this Mr. Lin who invests in the future?"

"Hello, Mr. Eric." Seeing that the other party greeted him actively, Lin Xiao also stopped.

"Mr. Lin, your investment in the future ruined our good deed."

Eric Cohen spoke again, and Lin Xiao frowned slightly after listening, "I don't understand what Mr. Eric means."

"About ASML's shares." Eric Cohen said.

"If you hadn't stepped in, it would be impossible for their shares to be sold so quickly."

"So I wanted to buy the bottom." Although Eric Cohen didn't speak clearly, Lin Xiao already understood it in his heart.

How much Future Investment spent to buy the shares of ASML is not too difficult for Blackstone Capital to find out.

I just don't know how much Blackstone Capital was planning to spend to buy the bottom, but thinking about it, the amount must be far lower than my own 9.12 million yuan.

So at that time, Eric Cohen left directly without further negotiations. It is very likely that Blackstone Capital wanted to take the opportunity to lower the price?

And ASML's stock price has indeed been falling since then, and it hasn't even risen back until now.

This means that Blackstone Capital had enough time to lower the price of Philips, but what Blackstone Capital did not expect was that it would buy ASML shares at that price.

Thinking of this in his heart, Lin Xiao immediately pretended to be very surprised and said:
"Is that so? At the beginning you didn't negotiate with Philips with us, and then you left directly. I thought you Blackstone Capital had no interest in ASML."

After Eric Cohen heard this, the expression on his face froze slightly. What Lin Xiao said was true, but he couldn't express his purpose for doing so.

Although the matter has come to this point and cannot be undone, Eric Cohen also bears a certain amount of pressure in the company because of this matter.

So looking at Lin Xiao at this time, he said sarcastically: "Young man, the water in the capital market is very deep, I suggest that you better not get involved, for stupid investment methods like buying ASML, all the money will be yours Lost all.

Hearing Eric Cohen's aggressive words, the corners of Lin Xiao's mouth raised slightly.

"It really doesn't bother you, I don't use the money from Blackstone Capital."

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Eric Cohen gave a soft "hum", stopped looking at Lin Xiao, and walked directly outside the hotel.

And Lin Xiao also took Lan Yumo back to the hotel room directly, and he didn't care about Eric Cohen's sarcasm at all.

Originally, Lin Xiao didn't buy ASML shares to make money, but to lay out the industry.

Therefore, in Eric Cohen's view, it is too expensive to invest in ASML's shares in the future, and he couldn't help ridiculing.

As for Lin Xiao, he felt that it was better to make an early move.

If it drags on, and I want to wait for ASML's stock price to drop completely before buying bottoms, I will definitely not be able to compete with big capital like Blackstone Capital.

So what Eric Cohen said just now did not make Lin Xiao unhappy, but made him feel good.

"Yumo, from this point of view, it was completely correct for us to buy the shares of ASML first. If we bought it later, we might have to compete with those big capitals for meat."

Lan Yumo also recognized the way, and nodded slightly at this time, "If we compete like that, we won't have any advantage."

Lin Xiaoda strongly agrees. After all, in terms of capital scale and influence, Future Investment and Blackstone Capital are not of the same order of magnitude.

"Look at Inktomi."

Lin Xiao returned to the topic, and Lan Yumo also opened the stock software and looked at the data of Inktomi.

"The current stock price of Inktomi is 228 million yuan per share, with a market value of 122 billion yuan, a decrease of 138 billion yuan from the peak of 16 billion yuan at the beginning of the year."

After Lan Yumo finished speaking, Lin Xiao was a little surprised and said, "Hey, their stock price didn't fall too much."

"As the leading stock of search engines, the market should still have certain expectations for them, and this wave has risen a lot, and it once fell by more than 30% before." Lan Yumo replied.

Lin Xiao laughed immediately after hearing this, "Now the high stock price is still beneficial to us. There is a lot of room to make money, so let's do it directly!"

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Lan Yumo also took action.

Lan Yumo had already reached cooperation with several securities companies, so there was no need to go to the securities company at this time, and all operations could be completed directly on the computer.

Just when Lin Xiao and the two officially started shorting, Eric Cohen came to Blackstone Capital's securities company in Silicon Valley.

Gathering the management of the securities company, Eric Cohen said to several people: "The recent performance is not satisfactory, the Nasdaq index rebounded, but you have not made any achievements."

"We have to make some moves in the past few days. My opinion is to pay attention to the movements of Internet technology stocks, especially some leading stocks, and see if we can find good opportunities."

After Eric Cohen finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and found that no one objected, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Then act, monitor the dynamics of such stocks, and report to me in time if there is any situation."

While speaking, Eric Cohen took out a list with Inktomi's name on it.
