Back To 1995

   Chapter 351 The bell must be tied to the bell

  Whitman looked at Song Yang. Since joining Double Click Company, his life has been much more exciting than Whitman's career in the first ten years or so.

Sending an Internet company that has only been established for 13 months to the IPO, the trade committee, the federal judicial department and other departments will be hardened, and now it is necessary to clean up the short-selling agency on Wall Street. Whitman does not know what he will experience in the position of double-click co-president. But Whitman feels that when she retires, a memoir will reveal some secrets, and it will definitely be on the New York Times bestseller list...

  Song Yang looked at the buildings outside the glass window, and double-clicked the company's New York office. It was located opposite the Empire State Building. The surrounding office buildings were basically all Wall Street institutions and offices from major companies around the world.

   Seeing the signboards and logos of the Wall Street institutions, Song Yang couldn't help but smile and looked at Whitman, "The bell has to be tied!"

   Whitman looked at Song Yang in confusion, not knowing what this meant.

   "People on Wall Street know Wall Street the most," Song Yang got up and looked out the window, "Most of Creamer's hedge fund's US knives come from Wall Street, right?"

   "Double-click, also "borrow money" from Wall Street!"

Creamer hedge fund, other Wall Street short-selling institutions, may raise some funds themselves, but most of the other funds must be borrowed from Wall Street banks and big institutions, otherwise how could it be possible to get so much The US knife is short.

   With the way of the people and the way of the people, Creamer can do it, but Double-click can not do it?

   "Double-click the company, now contact KKR Group and Kravis, and also contact Deutsche Bank. I think Edison should be very interested in this matter!" Song Yang said with a smile.

KKR Group, the current investment advisor of America Telecom, helped America Telecom acquire other companies. Before, it pitted AOL, acquired CompuServe, and then sold it to AOL. America Telecom made $300 million in tears and blood, which is KKR. Kravis, the group's president, is in charge of America Telecom.

   This barbarian at the gate of Wall Street is still old and strong. Double-click company needs the support of Kravis and KKR Group this time.

But the main funds are estimated to need to be solved by Edison, president of Deutsche Bank Investment Bank in America. This Wall Street madman is also decisive and ruthless. Whitman can imagine that once Kravis and Edison are two If people join in, then this time, double-click the company, it will definitely not be a little trouble, maybe it will set off an event that shakes the entire Wall Street.

   "Song, if you really do this time against those short-selling hedge funds and institutions, then Double-click will probably have competitors on Wall Street from now on!"

Whitman reminded Song Yang that if he started a war with those short-selling agencies this time and caused them to bleed heavily, then the beam would be settled. Double-click the company to remain strong, but if there is trouble, I am afraid that it will be immediately There will be people who will jump out and go to hell.

   "If Double Click Company doesn't take action, Creamer, James Chanos and the others will let Double Click Company go?!" Song Yang looked directly at Whitman.

  Whitman was silent for a moment, knowing that this time it was inevitable, Creamer's gang was aggressive, and Song Yang was not willing to back down. This time, he was afraid that a Mars would hit the earth!

   In Songyang, when he was ready to free up his hands, and joined KKR Group and Deutsche Bank Investment Bank to clean up Creamer's gang, Creamer was not idle, and was also looking for "helpers".

Wearing a brand-name suit and a precious diamond watch, when I came to the 47th-floor office building of the General Building in Manhattan, from entering Wall Street to setting up my own hedge fund, I never felt that Creamer was short of US knives. , once again feel that his worth is far from enough...

The office that Creamer came to is like the painting room of the British aristocracy. It is decorated with portraits of European aristocrats on the walls. It also displays many antiques from all over the world. One of them particularly caught the attention of Creamer. A masterpiece by the French master Camille Corot.

   As an artist, when you come here, you should yell at them. The collectors here don’t understand art at all. With so many things put together, there is no artistic style.

But when Creamer or Wall Street people come here, they have only one feeling, that is, the people who own this office are worth more than everyone else. An office!

   When Creamer was admiring these famous paintings, a figure came over and said to Creamer, "Mr. Creamer, Director Carl Icahn, please come in!"

  Today, Creamer, the person he wants to meet is Carl Icahn, the "Wolf of Wall Street" who has been terrified by American companies since the 1980s.

  Beginning with Philips Oil ten years ago, over the years, the companies that Carl Icahn tossed around, including TWA, Texaco Oil and many other well-known companies, have been cleaned up by Carl Icahn.

   Creamer this time, just wanted to invite the wolf of Wall Street to come out and help him win the war against Double Click Company.

Carl Icahn's favorite thing to do is to buy the bottom of a company at a low price, or even when it goes bankrupt, and then sell it at a high price after packaging and packaging. Blackstone Investment Group can be said to have learned the essence. ·Icahn will inevitably use special means to forcibly short a company, hit the stock price at a discount, and then go in and buy it.

As for other hostile takeovers, not to mention, it is the ordinary investors in America who are willing to follow Carl Icahn and regard him as the leader, because they have meat to eat with him, and Carl Icahn invests America's stock price can rise significantly in the short term.

Sometimes Carl Icahn will ask to be on the board of directors, and then start to "sell, sell, sell", sell a company's assets cleanly, paint the performance of the table, pay large dividends, then raise the stock price, and sell all the stocks. After selling it, he left behind a piece of chicken feathers, patted his butt, and walked away. Whether or not he left a mess, Carl Icahn didn't care at all. Anyway, he used a knife.

Creamer had never thought of looking for Carl Icahn, the hungry wolf, but DoubleClick's first day of court trial made DoubleClick feel like stepping out of the quagmire, which made Creamer a little worried, but not reconciled. He stopped and left, so he found Carl Icahn for help. Creamer wanted to double-click the short and make it his battle of fame!

   Perhaps, Internet company killer is also a good name, Creamer thought.

   Sitting in an office full of artworks and luxury goods, it was an ordinary old man in his sixties. When Creamer entered, the old man was on the phone with someone.

   "I'm telling you, Sandel, you screwed up!"

  Carl Icahn looked up, his eyes were like knives, sharply scraping on Creamer's body, causing Creamer to lower his head unconsciously and show his favor to Carl Icahn.

   "You're holding a great company, but now you've messed it up, I told you, my terms, it's time to think about it, Sandel!"

   Hearing the name Sandel, Creamer filtered it through his mind, and suddenly thought of a name, the president of Motorola.

   And now the giant president who covered the sky with one hand in America is now being reprimanded by Carl Icahn, and Creamerton's sense of the wolf of Wall Street has improved a lot in time.

   After putting down the phone, Carl Icahn frowned, and now Carl Icahn is eyeing a new "toy", one of the "living fossils" of America's technology industry, Motorola Group.

   Relying on the popularity of the mobile phone industry, as one of the two giants in the mobile phone industry, Motorola's revenue has continued to skyrocket in recent years, and Motorola has also reached a booming position, with revenue reaching 29.7 billion US dollars, but the stock price is somewhat sluggish.

The point is, in the competition with Nokia, Motorola has gradually been surpassed from the leader. Although selling mobile phones is also a lot of money, Motorola has to choose the CDMA standard in order to maintain its position in the American mobile phone market. , and Asia and Europe have begun to implement the GSM standard, which makes its sales in Europe and Asia directly overtaken by Nokia.

  The sales volume was surpassed by Nokia. Even if Motorola made crazy money, it was still disliked by Wall Street, who only loved the Internet and regarded Motorola as a cow lady.

However, Motorola is despised not only because of the dispute between CDMA and GSM, but also because of another important reason. Motorola is the overlord of the analog signal era. Its technology and standards are based on analog signals, so it is very contradictory to mobile communications. With the advent of the times, it's still the same sentence. The **** decides the head. Motorola can't dig its own grave, give up the analog signal that it earns while lying down, and take the risk of digital mobile communication, although the latter is obviously a new trend.

All these make Motorola, which seems to be prosperous, somewhat disliked, its stock price is sluggish, and it is also targeted by Carl Icahn, a hungry wolf. A big vote.

   "Cremer?!"

  Carl Icahn looked at Creamer in front of him, "What's the matter?"

Creamer tidied up his clothes and took a deep breath. Just now, all kinds of thoughts flashed in Creamer's mind, looking at Carl Icahn's eyes with a little fiery, he didn't know when, To be like Carl Icahn, to treat the American giant as nothing, and to reprimand at will!

   "I want to work with Director Carl Icahn on one thing!" Creamer said loudly to Carl Icahn.

Carl Icahn couldn't help but smile. He didn't know how long it had been. No one came to him, calling to cooperate with him. He has always come to "cooperate". The company, it's hard to say what the mood is.
