Back To 1995

   Chapter 356 Performance

   Hearing these words suddenly, Eric couldn't help but froze for a moment, not knowing what Song Yang meant.

In New York, Creamer Hedge Fund Company, Creamer in a suit and leather shoes, sitting in a brand-new office, overlooking New York behind him. At this time, Creamer inexplicably remembered the scenes in Hollywood movies, and it seemed that the whole New York was dormant. He is at his feet, he is the king of New York!

In less than a month, the size of Creamer's hedge fund swelled like a snowball. Originally, Creamer's hedge fund was not large, only less than 150 million US dollars, but now , The hedge fund in charge of Creamer has exceeded 800 million US dollars. If leverage is used, the funds used can be more than doubled!

During this time, the billionaires in New York were lining up to send money to Creamer, just to be able to join Creamer's hedge fund, even if Creamer's fee was terrifyingly high, 2.5% The annual fee plus 25% of the net profit share, such a charging standard has far exceeded the standard of Wall Street, reaching the charging standard of figures like Soros and Carl Icahn!

   Of course, Creamer is also leading by example. He is ready to make a big vote. He mortgages his entire net worth, even his New York villa, and joins the hedge fund.

Creamer's actions made the old money in New York and even the states of America rush for him even more. If they were not sure enough, how could Creamer bet on his house, so he invested in Creamer's people. , are looking forward to Creamer, that Creamer can bring them a high enough return.

In private, Creamer promised a few sports stars, real estate, and even some special people that the annual rate of return would be 40% and the net profit after tax would be 28%. This is the top batch on Wall Street. Institutional managers, who dare not make promises, this time Creamer can be said to be a last stand.

   "Call from Director Carl Icahn!"

The assistant    interrupted Creamer's thoughts, and Creamer secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had finally waited.

   The call was from Icahn Company. When I heard the voice on the phone, when Icahn Company wanted to join Creamer's plan this time, Creamer couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

   But then, when he heard that Carl Icahn was only willing to give 20 million dollars, Creamer couldn't help but laugh a little. This was really far from his expectations.

   "I need Director Carl Icahn on the phone, or I'll visit him in person!" Creamer said into the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone said slowly to Creamer, "This is what Carl Icahn said. If needed later, Icahn will increase investment. Carl Icahn's board of directors will cooperate with him. Mr. Rimmer is here."

Creamer twitched the corner of his mouth, showing a look of disdain, and cursed the old fox secretly in his heart, feeling that the older Carl Icahn was, the less courageous he was. He saw what Carl Icahn meant. Fan, still worried about him.

   If the situation is good, Carl Icahn will rush in to get a piece of the pie. If the situation is not right, then Carl Icahn will definitely run away.

   However, no matter how dissatisfied he was with Carl Icahn, Creamer didn’t dare to show it. He needed Carl Icahn’s support and used Carl Icahn’s fame and influence on Wall Street to do things.

"Please thank Mr. Carl Icahn for me. After this project is over, I will definitely visit Mr. Carl Icahn in person. I saw a painting by Paul Cézanne at the auction, and I will give it to Carl at that time. Mr. Icahn, as a present!"

Creamer hung up the phone and scolded Carl Icahn a few times, but scolding Carl Icahn at this time would not help. After thinking for a while, Creamer still decided to take action, with the cooperation of Carl Icahn. If not enough, Creamer is going to find another Wall Street institution to borrow money.

Inside the Icahn Company in Manhattan, Carl Icahn heard that Creamer wanted to send him a painting of Paul Cézanne, and just laughed. Carl Icahn expressed dissatisfaction.

In recent years, it has been a big hit in art collections. Famous paintings can often be auctioned for sky-high prices. Paul Cezanne is a master of Impressionism. If the auction starts, it is often tens of millions of dollars. Creamer wants to give it to Karl Yi Kan's words like this are to express that he is not bad for money, and Carl Icahn is a bit too stingy, even timid.

   "Bruno Song, what's going on?" Carl Icahn asked his subordinates about Song Yang's movements.

  Carl Icahn's assistant shook his head, "The media reported that he was a guest at an NCAA baseball game in San Jose. He invested in Victoria's Secret, sponsored the Super Bowl, and became a halftime show."

   Hearing Song Yang's side, there was almost no movement, as if he didn't pay attention to the changes on the New York side, so Carl Icahn couldn't help frowning.

   "What about other Wall Street companies, do you have any new cooperation with Double Click Company?" Carl Icahn asked again.

Assistant    shook his head, looked at Carl Icahn, who frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Perhaps Bruno Song and Double Click Company didn't notice Creamer's actions at all?!"

   "After all, the professional managers in America are actually not as good as they boast."

The assistant mocked America's professional managers. As a character who has played with many giant American companies, Carl Icahn is qualified and looks down on those professional managers. Under the influence of Carl Icahn, people from Icahn's company, Most of the professional managers who held high salaries and high-ranking in the past also sneered at them, thinking that most of them were just a chart.

   "Hopefully," Carl Icahn said, frowning, "if Creamer gets it, so if he fails..."

   "Without my order, Icahn is not allowed to have a dollar knife, make a double-click!"

Carl Icahn specially explained to his subordinates, Carl Icahn feels that Double-click company is too "calm" now, no news has come out, either Double-click company is not prepared at all, or it is calm. Under the water, something is being prepared, and Carl Icahn is going to find some old buddies to inquire about some news.

   tidying up his clothes again, Creamer glanced at the figure in the mirror, and then walked outside. The media who received the notice had already gathered in front of Creamer's hedge fund office.

   "Everyone please be quiet!"

After    Creamer appeared, he pressed his hands down, and the scene was quiet for a while. Seeing this scene, Creamer showed a slight smile on his face. He liked the feeling of controlling the whole scene.

   The media and reporters present all looked at Creamer expectantly. Creamer suddenly found so many media, and the media and reporters present looked at Creamer with anticipation.

   "I'm here today, and I want to say very simply, I don't think it's worth twenty dollars to double-click the company's share price!

   There is only one way to save Double-click Company, and that is Bruno Song, with his management, leave Double-click Company. "

   Creamer pointed to the double-click company's share price on a screen and said to the media present that the repurchase during this period has made the double-click company's share price reach a record high of around nineteen dollars.

   But now, Creamer pointed to the double-click stock price on the screen and said that the double-click is not worth the price at all.

   "I hope that all Double-click investors can stand up and say no to Double-click's board of directors. To this end, I will stand with all Double-click investors until the moment of victory!"

   The reporters present frantically pressed the shutter of the camera to record this scene. Everyone knew that Creamer was going to do something.

  Crimer's words were quickly reported by major financial media. Almost immediately after Creamer's words were released, it was obvious to the naked eye that the double-click company's stock, which was attacking the price of twenty dollars, fell directly in response!

   However, unlike other companies' stock price drops, after the double-click company's stock price fell, I heard a burst of cheers from the Nasdaq trading floor!

  After Creamer's speech, James Chanos' Knicks joint fund, followed by announcing a reduction in Double-click's share price, was only three dollars for Double-click's share price!

   Not only Chanos, many small and medium-sized institutions on Wall Street, but also at the same time, quite tacitly, announced the "downgrade" of Double-click Company, not optimistic about Double-click Company's future, and even have direct risk warnings.

   And the one that really added fuel to the fire was Icahn, who also suddenly released a research report, claiming that he was not optimistic about the future of Double-click, and publicly declared that he was dissatisfied with the board of directors of Double-click!

Unlike Creamer, Carl Icahn has been on Wall Street for decades, and he has not been defeated. How many giant companies have fallen under Carl Icahn's iron shoes, and now Carl Icahn is also beginning to be dissatisfied with Double Click Company. .

Carl Icahn's voice was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Double-clicking the company's stock price began to plummet, tens of millions of dollars, and the stock price that was only pulled up immediately jumped straight from the price of 19 dollars. Under $10!

  The entire Nasdaq internet company was stunned at this scene, including Netscape, Yahoo, Lycos, AOL and other companies, and they couldn't help but start to face Creamer.

   A tense atmosphere began to permeate the entire Silicon Valley. In one sentence, the Double-click company was wiped out by tens of millions. Other Internet companies also began to worry about whether they would be targeted by Creamer and become the next target.

  Double-click inside the company, it is full of sense of decadence, and the staff who have been allocated the equity reward can't help but start to worry, if they have not had time to redeem the equity reward, will it become a piece of waste paper!

In the face of the wildly leaked stock price, Double-click urgently issued a statement, claiming that there was no problem, and issued a statement for the first time, asking "certain" institutions on Wall Street to stop shorting Double-click Company, and then Double-click's board of directors announced again that the major shareholder, the Americas Global Investment Fund , and will invest an additional $10 million to repurchase shares.

   But at this time, it seems to have been somewhat unhelpful. Short double-click seems to have become a "feast". After the announcement, the double-click stock price can be maintained at around nine dollars.

   But in the end, Creamer shouted again through the media, "Double-click is only one week away from delisting, and there is only one week left for Bruno Song!"

After    Creamer shouted, before the close, the double-click company dived again.
