Chapter 623 How can harvesting be called robbery (4k)

"The bankruptcy of Lehman detonated the largest P2P storm! Hundreds of thousands of families and thousands of funds were implicated!"

"The collapse of Lehman has ripped off the last fig leaf of the subprime mortgage crisis. People's distrust of the banking industry has reached an all-time high. Wall Street demonstrations will continue."

"Merrill Lynch and Bank of America reached an agreement on the purchase price of $29 per share. Merrill Lynch sold the company to Bank of America for $500 billion in exchange for saving itself."

"..."

The headlines in newspapers these days focus on the subprime mortgage crisis.

Because "The Big Short" predicted the Bear Stearns moment and the Lehman moment one after another, it was about to fall off the Top 10 bestseller list of the "New York Times" and Amazon, and suddenly rushed back to the top position.

Everyone wants to find a way to survive.

Even want to find opportunities to make a fortune!

ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC, Fox, and more and more TV stations sent out interview invitations to Lewis and Lu Fei.

But they were all rejected by him on the grounds that "I have a lot of things to do, and I want to focus on investing (robbing) capital (robbing)".

In fact, it really isn't an excuse.

"What is the stock price of Elpida?"

"What about Qimonda and Infineon?"

"Transmeta? Are you sure it was what Su Zifeng said? Let's do what she wants, buy this small CPU factory that filed for bankruptcy, and enhance our technology storage in the low-end and upper-end commercial markets."

"Mr. Lu, Nvidia's stock price has fallen from $37 to $20. Should we start building positions?"

"Don't worry, just wait until it drops below $10."

After listening to Guo Xing's report, Lu Fei asked about Laika again.

"The situation is developing as we expected."

Guo Xing said with a smile: "Lycra has been on the verge of bankruptcy these years. The change of shareholders is like a revolving door, but it is still losing money all the year round. There is no hope of turning losses into profits. The shareholders of Hermès can't bear it anymore and are ready to sell out."

"Roughly how many?"

"According to the information we have, at least [-]%."

"What's Laika's opinion?"

"Of course it's a wishful thinking. I wish to introduce logic as a shareholder and form a strategic partner."

Guo Xingdao: "So I especially cherish this opportunity to cooperate with us on lphone4. Not only did they open up their optical camera imaging patents, but they also dispatched a team to cooperate with our engineers and mathematicians to create products that meet their production standards and factory standards." Leica Certified' lenses."

"Very well, pay close attention to any movement of Laika."

Lu Fei is quite satisfied. The cooperation between the two parties, just like Huawei and Leica, belongs to Qin Shihuang looking in the mirror——

Win-win!

As a giant in the field of photography, Leica has developed for hundreds of years. Although it has a wealth of optical imaging patents, in the information age, digitalization is urgently needed, otherwise it will be replaced by emerging technologies and algorithms and completely eliminated from the market.

Logically joined, assisting Leica's imaging patented technology to digitize, forming a unique algorithm, and then applying it to the mobile phone camera, iteratively, to realize most of the functions of the SLR.

More importantly, relying on the global sales of logic phones, you can make money and gain fame, so why not do it?

Logic doesn't even suffer.

The Leica-certified lens not only improves the shooting performance of mobile phones, but also differentiates it from competitors such as Nokia, Apple, and Samsung, and especially establishes the tonality of the Logic series of cameras.
Moreover, by cooperating with a century-old store, the feelings and style are instantly full, the grade is improved, the brand is premium, and the money earned is even more.

What's more, through Leica, we have figured out a set of logically unique technology patents and R&D systems for optics, imaging, software and hardware.

"However, Leica still has objections to the lithography machine."

Guo Xing said: "After all, their financial situation is very unhealthy, and now they are catching up with the subprime mortgage and economic crisis."

"Then we're waiting until we become Lycra's largest shareholder, join the board of directors, and take over the management rights."

Lu Fei's investment in Leica is not only for mobile phone lenses and cameras. Although Leica is a camera giant, the lens it produces is also a vital part of the lithography machine.

The high-end lithography machine integrates the development and application of a series of comprehensive technologies such as physics, optics and chemistry.

DUV lithography machines use short-wave ultraviolet rays.

The EUV lithography machine is extreme ultraviolet light.

If the light source and the reflective lens of the lithography machine cannot be solved, the domestic lithography machine wants to catch up with AMSL, and it is basically useless.

It just so happens that the best in the world is Zeiss.

Optical giants such as Hasselblad and Leica, which mainly make cameras, are hard to match, let alone China, which is almost blank.

But Zeiss cooperates with AMSL, the logic can only be between Hasselblad and Leica, choose Leica as an ally of lithography machine optical technology, break through high-end optical lenses and advanced optical systems.

This deal was done, Qin Shihuang really touched the switch——

You win!
"In fact, it mainly depends on the sales of lphone4."

Guo Xing smiled and said: "If it can be sold well, all subsequent cooperation and shareholding will be a matter of course. The cost is conservatively estimated to be 3 to 4 million dollars."

"Money is not a problem, the key is to keep it secret."

Lu Fei didn't want to scare the snake away, and missed the great opportunity to harvest German and even European industries.

"Jing Goubiao, Jinggoubiao, Jinggou oh lewei."

The three computers in front of them displayed US stocks, German stocks, and Hong Kong stocks respectively. The screen was full of red, and blood flowed like a river.

Apple, Amazon, Netflix...

Ah Li Baba fell the worst, and has already fallen below 2 Hong Kong dollars.

"Dong dong dong."

Xu Xin knocked on the door and came in, bringing great news——

A 4 trillion stimulus package is being pushed.

The industries covered include high-speed rail, electric power, photovoltaics, logistics, semiconductors, electronic information, e-commerce, highways, ecological medical care...

"Let me take a look first, sit down, sister Xin."

Lu Fei flipped through a thick stack of documents, "How is the negotiation between CICC and CCB with Lehman? Has the negotiation been completed?"

"A deal has been signed."

Xu Xin sat down, "The second agreement is still arguing, don't even mention it, Ah Fei, you are really accurate." He smoked a Lucky Strike cigarette, "Fuld and his gang are trying to get themselves out of it. The No. 105 and No. 108 bond repurchase cases have been cleared up. In order to find the next job, they can really sell any interests, even Lehman’s high-quality assets and businesses are so casually sold.”

"Sister Xin, you don't know if you work in finance. Only selfish ghosts with a moral vacuum can enjoy themselves and hang around for a long time on Wall Street."

Lu Fei shrugged.

Xu Xin readily agreed, "Indeed! What does Lehman's life and death have to do with them? They are just high-level migrant workers, and they don't regard the company as their family at all. They can earn as much as they can. This is not the severance pay of the high-level executives, but Fuld alone. , more than 5000 million US dollars!"

"That's the 'work ethic' of Wall Street."

Lu Fei took a pencil and drew circles on the paper.

"What a professional ethics! Then how do you plan to arrange these people?" Xu Xin firmly disagreed to absorb them into the Three Body Fund, especially the Lu Family Office.

"I would recommend them to Silicon Valley Bank."

"Hey, it's indeed a good place to go. We are a big customer of Silicon Valley Bank, so it shouldn't be too difficult."

"Silicon Valley Bank can't cooperate for too long, after all, American banks are so unreliable."

There was a disdainful smile on the corner of Lu Fei's mouth.

At this moment, Henry Paulson called. He was very straightforward and said, "Lu, it's time for you to fulfill your promise. It's time to rescue Goldman Sachs."

"No problem, I will ask for it!" The corners of Lu Fei's mouth upturned, "It just so happened that Buffett asked me to play golf, so we will discuss it right away."

"It's been discussed, tell us which way to invest in Goldman Sachs, David and John will try to make a deal."

………………

After Lehman announced its application for bankruptcy protection, it was inevitable to face the fate of being surrounded by wolves.

Barclays Bank announced on September 9 that it would pay $17 billion to acquire Lehman's New York headquarters, two data centers and some trading assets.

Unexpectedly, the second mover was the overseas syndicate formed by CICC, CCB, etc., which signed two consecutive agreements with Lehman and won Lehman's business in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and the Middle East. It's fast and ruthless.

There is no doubt that there are experts behind the scenes!

France, Neon and other countries were envious and jealous, not to be outdone, and they took action one after another to cut their own cakes.

The once glorious Lehman was dismembered in less than a week, beyond recognition.

So far, Lehman has completely fallen into the bottom, and will never see the light of day again, and other Wall Street peers have no time to gloat.

Under the nest, the eggs are finished.

As the financial crisis became more and more serious, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, the last two remaining banks among the five major investment banks, were not immune to the disaster and had to submit a request to become a bank holding company, which was quickly approved.

However, this move has prevented the public and investors from paying the bill.

Why can’t Lehman apply, why can Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley apply immediately, why save one but not the other?

For a time, there were more doubts than understanding in the market.

A rumor that "Henry Paulson did not save Lehman to vent his personal anger" spread on Wall Street, which once again hit the precarious US stock market, and Goldman Sachs' stock price fell again and again.

Finally, it fell out of $100.

The haze floating on Wall Street has not dissipated for a long time.

And above the Augusta National Golf Course, the sky was clear and the sun fell on the lawn.

I saw a golf ball draw a beautiful parabola, landed not far from the hole, and could enter the hole with a light push.

"Good shot, Lu!"

Buffett smiled and clapped his hands.

"Warren, your shot just now was not bad."

On the golf course, Lu Fei and Buffett, who was wearing a short-brimmed peaked cap, walked side by side, talking and laughing happily.

"As you expected, MoneyGram's stock price has fallen by [-]%. I think you will be able to propose an acquisition soon."

Buffett stopped and stood his club on the ground.

"That's what I mean too. Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have let the Foreign Investment Committee and the MoneyGram board of directors let down their vigilance so easily. Don't worry, my friends won't suffer."

Lu Fei grinned.

Winning MoneyGram is tantamount to opening up the overseas market of Tenpay. The scale and scope of the global cross-border payment business has expanded exponentially. Coupled with LMS, steam and other platforms that support Tenpay, it will not take long to be able to Catch up with paypal.

Feigou.com will not stop at home.

It is necessary to go to the international arena to break the wrist with Amazon.

"The stock market crash is God's best gift to value investors. We can't waste any of his kindness. We must firmly receive the gift." Buffett showed a shrewdness in his silly smile.

As expected of you!

It's so righteous and awe-inspiring to be able to talk about taking advantage of the fire.

Lu Fei deliberately pretended to be confused: "What gift are you referring to?"

"General Electric and Goldman Sachs."

Buffett said in a serious tone: "You can invest a little bit of the money you earned from long crude oil futures in the first half of the year."

"I'm just discussing this matter with you and listening to your opinion." Lu Fei humbly asked for advice.

Buffett said unreservedly that he would offer Goldman Sachs two investment conditions. One is that Berkshire Hathaway invests $25 billion in Goldman Sachs preferred stock, with a dividend of 10% per year.

The other is to obtain call options for Goldman Sachs stock for free, that is, within 5 years after the investment, you can buy $110 billion in common shares at a price of $30 per share.

"I want to do the same with you."

Lu Fei's eyes lit up and he snapped his fingers.

The current stock price fluctuates in the range of 90 to 100 dollars. With the status and potential of Goldman Sachs and the votes of confidence from the two Eastern and Western stock gods, Buffett and myself, there is basically no problem in the stock price rising to 5 dollars within 150 years. .

Waiting for the call option to change from virtual value to real value, according to a conservative estimate, in just 2 years, you can make a profit of 10 billion to 15 billion dollars.

The key point has become a shareholder of Goldman Sachs justifiably!

It is still one of the top ten shareholders with voting rights!

"You can think about it."

Buffett smiled and said: "Only if the National Assembly can pass Henry's bailout plan, we can make a lot of money. If the bailout plan fails, all bets will be lost. Our Goldman Sachs and all other investments will be wiped out."

"Don't worry, we still have our gold back."

Lu Fei smiled and reminded that there was their old friend Henry, even if he knelt down to the old witch, he would let the rescue plan pass.

"Hahaha~"

Buffett readily agreed to run Goldman Sachs investments for him.

"Will Goldman Sachs agree to this proposal?"

"Do you think they have any other options? Lu, that's the same sentence, don't miss the gift from God."

"You're right, Warren."

Lu Fei took the initiative to hand over the ball equipment and the ball cover to the caddy, sat on the chair, and let Dayangma help him change his shoes intimately.

Buffett chatted with him, chatting about European investment and the European debt market for a while, exchanging opinions with each other, and then talking about the November election, jokingly making bets——

Whoever loses is not allowed to touch Coke for a month.

"I choose Lucian."

Lu Fei smiled hesitantly.

Buffett was not surprised, "I heard that he used a lot of novel Internet media to run for the Donkey Party candidate. Coincidentally, it is mainly YouTube and Facebook related to you."

"Perhaps he succeeded, and he should see me."

Lu Fei said a few words in a joking tone.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Before they parted, he was "fooled into becoming a VIP member of the golf course in a daze.

After changing his clothes and walking out, he saw Wang Ben standing upright, the rear driver's door had already been opened by him:

"Boss, where are we going next?"

"Silicon Valley."

Lu Fei really wanted to fly to Portland to spend the National Day Golden Week with Gao Yuanyuan, but the launch of the new phone in October was just around the corner.

Logic must be the brightest star in this darkest hour!
In order to make consumer electronics, semiconductors, communications and other industries hit by the subprime mortgage and economic crisis be regarded as great saviors!

Only then can we justifiably save (harvest) rescue (cut)!
Master Lu is here!There is a blue sky!
