Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

The happiest people about the merger of AOL and Time Warner are the shareholders of the two companies.

According to the predictions of the top executives of the two companies, they will be able to earn at least 30% of the profits from the sales of 40 billion US dollars in the first year alone.

This figure is dizzying.

"We will be among the top 5 in the world!"

As a major shareholder of Time Warner, Guy was extremely excited.

His continuous investment in Time Warner in recent years has finally paid off.

If the two companies merge successfully, his status in the family will also rise.

He thinks that investing in the Internet is his wisest decision. On the contrary, ASML, which Kembauer invested in, has fallen into a growth slump in the past two years.

The reason is that ASML has never made a major breakthrough in F2 laser.

Stockholders are not all fools. They all know that Schmidt is exaggerating the progress of scientific research. Therefore, when technology stocks are rising sharply, ASML is rising and falling.

On the other hand, Guy's investment has been rising well, and ZIP2 and Pet.com have been successfully listed one after another.

Now that AOL and Time Warner are about to merge, his reputation will directly overshadow all the family members.

Including his former good brother Kembauer!

"I said, I will take back what I lost with my own hands."

Guy, who has entered middle age, couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.

Just as he was thinking about which mistress's house to spend the night, he suddenly heard a bad news.

"Have you heard that Wang Group is selling AOL Online's shares at this time."

"It seems that Wang Group is really short of money. It sold Microsoft's shares a while ago, and Wang Lei is also clearing out its investment in US stocks..."

Guy shuddered, and a familiar feeling came back.

When was the last time I had this strange feeling?

In the 1997 Dongzhou crisis, Wang Group and Wang Lei also made similar actions.

Is something big going to happen again?

Guy first thought of the controversy in which Microsoft was initially found guilty, but many people, including him, felt that the authorities would not go too far and would at most give Microsoft a warning.

He also thought of the Y2K crisis, but many Internet founders vowed that the Y2K would not have much impact.

So what was it for?

He could not help but get tangled up. The memory deep in his heart told him that it might be right to follow Wang Lei's footsteps, but he had finally worked hard and had a chance to turn the tables. How could he give up easily?

His hatred for Kembauer even exceeded that of Wang Lei.

How close the two had been, how much they disliked each other now.

The pleasure of humiliating Kembauer even exceeded the meaning of making money itself.

In this hesitation.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Time came to January 2000.

The Y2K crisis did not break out!

Investors in the US Federation and the Internet were relieved.

Even Guy felt that he was overthinking, and welcomed the merger of the two large groups with a relaxed and happy mood.

On January 10, witnessed by countless business people, the presidents of the two companies faced the TV camera in Manhattan and made a famous announcement:

The two companies with a total market value of 350 billion US dollars merged into one.

AOL plus Time Warner formed a giant that could influence the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world.

Their magazines, cable TV and movies can reach the people 2.5 billion times a month.

AOL wants to go all out to bring old media into the Internet era.

The stocks of the merged company have been rising all the way.

The US stock market, which had originally shown a downward trend, has once again regained its glory.

Wang Lei also said goodbye to AOL in a jubilant mood.

He was not idle, and he kept urging Qianlang.com to impact IPO and land on the US stock market on the phone.

Seeing Mr. Wang's impatient look, Wang Zhidong was a little confused:

"Boss, don't be so impatient, we are one step ahead of Wangyi and Sohu."

Wang Lei did not hide his intention from him:

"In April, the federal court will officially announce the split sanctions against Microsoft. Do you know what this means?"

Wang Zhidong is not a mediocre person. He swallowed his saliva. Once the news spreads, Microsoft's stock will definitely plummet.

With the scale of Microsoft, the US stock market will definitely plummet.

Wang Zhidong, who originally planned to go public on April 13, nodded hurriedly.

The key problem is that Qianlang.com is in the review stage, and he can't do anything to speed up.

"I will use my connections to let the relevant agencies speed up the review. You just need to be mentally prepared to go public in advance."

Wang Zhidong was also excited to think of going public in advance.All these years of hard work are for this day. Their competitors will be caught off guard.

…

"Boss, the female reporter from Paramount News is clamoring to see you."

Wang Lei, who was playing with Wang Duoxin, frowned.

According to common sense, Paramount News would not take the initiative to come to him without his special request.

"Does she have an appointment?"

"No, she wants to do a temporary interview with you."

"I checked her work ID and she is an intern reporter who has just joined the company.

It is worth mentioning that her parents are both employees of Wang Group."

The secretary glanced at Wang Lei cautiously.

As he got older, Wang Lei became more and more powerful.

Wang Lei switched from the computer monitor to the front desk.

A lively blonde beauty came into view.

"Interesting, let her in."

"Ms. Jennifer, you can come up with me."

Jennifer was not happy at all, but a little nervous.

Because she was going to interview her boss's boss's boss's boss...

The reason for taking such a risky move was that as a trainee reporter in the financial sector, she keenly discovered that her boss had cleared out all the stocks of technology and Internet companies within a year.

All these fragmentary news were suppressed.

She also verified that Wang Lei was indeed missing from the list of shareholders of many Internet companies.

In addition, the boss's previous remarks about the Internet had caused her to have a bad association.

Her parents were both senior executives of the Beautiful Country Branch of the Wang Group. She grew up listening to Wang Lei's stories since she was a child. Like every employee of the Wang Group, she had a deep admiration for Wang Lei.

Relying on her parents' relationship, she entered the Paramount News Channel.

For this interview, she mustered up her courage and took the first step boldly.

The Secretary-General's footsteps seemed to knock on her heart, making her very nervous.

When she really saw Wang Lei, her mind was blank.

"Jennifer, you were the one who insisted on interviewing me, why are you silent now?"

Wang Lei's eyes seemed to see through her.
