Rebirth Starts From 2006

After talking about work, Huang Shan said a few words to tell Qin Yu to pay attention to her health, and she was about to hang up the phone.

At this moment, she suddenly had a whim, and hurriedly said, "Hey, Xiaoyu."

"Um?"

Qin Yu just took the mobile phone away and put it back to his ear, "What's wrong?"

Huang Shan frowned and asked, "The assets of Lehman Brothers have been divided up. Do you think we have a chance to get their data center?"

This was Qin Yu's inspiration to her. Since the information Fuld brought is of such great value, what about the entire data center?

However, others can turn a blind eye to some irrelevant industry analysis data and let Fuld take them away, but the entire data center must be obtained through formal channels.

We don't want assets, and we can't grab the giants, but it's always possible to buy some data that they don't like, right? !

It disappointed her,

As soon as her words fell, Qin Yu said helplessly, "Sister, you think I don't want to buy their data center,

When Fuld called me just now, I asked him this question,

But unfortunately, someone has already targeted Lehman's two data centers! "

Huang Shan couldn't help being taken aback, "Who?"

Qin Yu said with a wry smile, "Who else could it be? Barclays Bank, which has already signed the contract but was rejected by the UK Financial Services Authority."

Huang Shan frowned tightly, "It's them?"

"Yup,"

Qin Yu sighed and said, "Because this deal was rejected, Lehman lost the last chance to be saved, so he had to declare bankruptcy.

In addition, Shirley informed me that just five minutes after Lehman declared bankruptcy, Barclays formally applied to Lehman Brothers to launch a takeover offer for Lehman's North American and French businesses.

And more than seven hours later, at 9 a.m. New York time, negotiations with Lehman Brothers began,

Among the acquired content, in addition to various assets, it also includes two data centers,

Fuld called me just now and confirmed this point. He also said that Barclays intends to develop more business in the North American market, and that Lehman's data center will be of great help to them.

And this acquisition can only be passed with the approval of the New York court, so the possibility of a transaction is very high. "

Speaking of this, Qin Yu couldn't help but sneered twice, "Hmph, Barclays bought Lehman Brothers' investment banking and capital market business in North America,

These include products, brand names, technology and clients, Lehman employees will be retained by the British bank,

However, the deal does not include the risky deals and debt that crippled Lehman before filing for bankruptcy protection.

According to Fuld, if the transaction is successful, the total value of the account transferred to Barclays Bank will not be less than 138 billion U.S. dollars.

Do you know how much Barclays has to pay for such a deal? "

Huang Shan blinked blankly, "How much?"

The corners of Qin Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and he forcibly suppressed his envy and hatred, "Barclays only offered 200 million U.S. dollars!"

"Two hundred million?"

Huang Shan was stunned, "Isn't this too dark?!"

Although the more than 100 billion can only be regarded as client assets, not Lehman's own assets, but isn't the bank engaged in asset management, and it is a huge profit to get such a large amount of asset management rights with only 200 million US dollars. I do not know how many times.

"Yes, it's no wonder that the Barclays acquisition of Lehman was rejected by the UK Monetary Authority, and the Federal Reserve did not allow any company to bail out Lehman,"

Qin Yu sighed, "Lehman's meat is too fat, so fat that Lehman must die, so that other financial giants will have the opportunity to get rid of the impact of the financial crisis and go ashore again without paying any price!"

The voice fell, and the two women were speechless,

This is no longer when one whale falls and everything grows, but when one whale falls, all the whales become fat.

Before, they thought that although Lehman is the meat in the bowl of the giants, the giants should pay attention to face anyway, and give their former close partner Lehman a decent price.

Now it seems that those financial giants are going to use the flesh and blood of Lehman and all investors to turn them into their own nutrients.

This isn't too dark-hearted anymore, but so dark that you don't even want your face!

After a brief silence, Qin Yu said,

"200 million is just the price quoted by Barclays Bank, but Lehman's asking price is not too high. According to the inside information Shirley collected, the final transaction price should be around 250 million US dollars,"

The current Lehman is just a sieve. It is not too easy to inquire about some information. It is not only the Rainbow Group. It is estimated that this information has already appeared on the desks of other financial giants at the helm. Perhaps some people are having a meeting to discuss how to divide this fat.

Qin Yu continued talking,

"Although this price is still a bit low, Barclays' quotation for Lehman Brothers' two data centers and the company's headquarters building is not bad. The initial quotation is 1.2 billion US dollars, and the final transaction price should be 1.4 billion to 10 billion US dollars. Between US$500 million,

The two data centers are located in a 40-story building in Jesse, New Jersey, covering an area of ​​more than 13,000 square meters. The equipment inside is also very high-end, and the value of information is included, which is in line with this price. "

The price matching does not mean that Barclays Bank has found out in conscience, but that the asset transaction of the bankrupt company is watched by the court. The value of the account assets can still be manipulated, but the fixed assets are basically clearly marked.

Anyway, it won't take much advantage, so it's better to be more generous.

And even if it was generous, Barclays still took advantage of it, because they had to rely on them to collect these materials by themselves, and it would take a lot of manpower and material resources, so there is no such thing as a ready-made advantage.

With another sigh, Qin Yu continued, "For this deal, don't say we can't intervene, even if we can intervene, Fuld suggested that we should not move."

Huang Shan quickly understood, "Is it because of the acquisition of Santander Bank?"

"That's right,"

Qin Yu pursed her lips and said with a helpless smile, "Fuld said that during the negotiations with Barclays Bank, he would convey a message to them, that is, Rainbow Financial Group, which also expressed to him that it would acquire Raymond. Man Data Center, but because Barclays made an application, it was directly withdrawn,

Then, in return, when we acquired Santander Bank, Barclays needed to provide us with certain conveniences within the UK, otherwise, they would have violated the rules of the game.

Of course, the price to be paid is also necessary, but with their help, it will be much smoother after all! "

"Well, that's a good idea,"

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Huang Shan felt better again, and said with a smile, "Santander Bank has a large part of its business in the UK. If we can get the support of Barclays Bank, it will indeed be of great help."

Compared with the strategic plan to acquire Santander Bank, any Lehman data center must stand aside.

Well, don't laugh at the crows, everyone is not a philanthropist,

It is not your own thing at all, and it has become a bargaining chip that can be traded.

For Caihong, many conveniences can be obtained just by giving up an opportunity, so why not do it.

"As long as you know,"

Qin Yu smiled and yawned again, "Ah, I won't tell you anymore, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Huang Shan sorted out her thoughts for a while, and then said to Chen Yang,

"Xiaoyu sent me a document, which is Lehman's management structure, and a set of data management system construction plan, which means that we can refer to it and change it to our own."

"Um,"

Chen Yang took a sip of water, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then asked, "Is their management system overcalculated?"

He listened to what Huang Shan said just now, and he probably understood what happened. Since he can't get what he has, it's useless to think about him. It's more practical to focus on himself.

Huang Shan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "There should be some, their two data centers are quite large."

Is the boss on the bar with the supercomputer?

"Oh, that's fine,"

Chen Yang nodded and explained, "Cloud computing and big data are the future development trend, and the financial industry cannot avoid it, and both of them need the support of supercomputing technology. When we are building a data management system, we must Take this into consideration."

Huang Shan nodded slightly, "Understood, I will."

One or two of the family members are uncles, Boss Chen just opens his mouth and doesn't care about things, and Qin Yu puts all his energy on the financial business and doesn't care about being so thoughtful at all.

She can only be responsible for this kind of specific work.

Fortunately, today's Rainbow Group is strong and strong, unlike last year, many things were started from scratch, that's what it means to be exhausted.

…

The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the impact has only just begun,

On September 15th, it was already night in my country, but Wall Street, thousands of miles away, was ushering in the opening of the stock market.

As the stock market officially started trading, U.S. stocks plummeted at the opening. The Dow Jones Index recorded the largest single-day drop in points and losses since the September 11 incident. It can be described as a veritable "Black Monday"!

The U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, which had been on the horizon since August last year, was completely detonated on this day!

the next day,

September 16,

Boss Chen got up early today, and rarely went to the gym to exercise. After breakfast, he rushed to the company with Zou Rong.

Without his calling, Huang Shan rushed over immediately, and then connected to Qin Yu in New York through the encrypted conference call system.

On the computer screen, Qin Yu was sitting at his desk in a neat suit, and greeted the camera, "Rong Rong, Ah Shan, how are you all?"

Zou Rong immediately waved her hand, "Hello, Sister Yu."

Boss Chen's face darkened, "How old am I?"

Qin Yu grinned, showing a fake smile, "Hello, boss, please greet the boss!"

"thanks!"

Boss Chen rolled his eyes, and when he looked at the screen again, he was taken aback for a moment, "You haven't slept all night, have you? Why don't you seem to be in a good mood?"

"Slept, slept for four hours,"

It’s okay not to talk about it, but Qin Yu couldn’t help yawning when he said this, “I got up before six o’clock this morning, and then I’ve been busy all day, I don’t have time to catch my breath, I’m exhausted.”

Chen Yang frowned slightly, "Work is work, don't ruin your body, just let the people below do some things, don't do everything yourself."

"Got it, got it," Qin Yu waved his hand impatiently, "You should still care about your girlfriend when you are free, care about other girls casually, and watch out for her jealousy."

Before Chen Yang could speak, Zou Rong immediately smiled and said, "That won't happen, because Sister Yu is not someone else!"

"Oh, that's what you said," Qin Yu cupped his hands pretending to be touched, "It's better to warm my heart, Rongrong."

Zou Rong giggled cheerfully. She now also knows that almost 80% of her husband's career is earned by Qin Yu and Huang Shan. These two must be coaxed.

Especially Qin Yu, this time I don't know if I made billions or tens of billions for my husband, so I must give it up, otherwise, if she gets angry, the family will suffer a lot.

Of course, both of them have good personalities and get along very well.

So in this relationship, there are both interests and sincerity, and it is not purely polite talk.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business,"

Huang Shan smiled and waved her hands, then looked at Qin Yu on the computer, "Xiao Yu, how is the situation now?"

When it came to work, Qin Yu's face suddenly became more serious, and he said seriously, "The situation is very bad!

Of course, what I said is not good, I mean someone else, "

After saying this, she couldn't help showing a smile that couldn't be hidden, "Since the opening of the market this morning, the stock market has been falling all the way, especially the financial stocks.

This time can be said to be a landmark event. If there is no accident, 99% of the world's stock markets will plummet accordingly! "

Huang Shan turned on her laptop, called up several pages, and said while reading, "Now the stock exchanges in Australia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia have all opened.

Well, without exception, fell across the board! "

Chen Yang turned his head to look, and couldn't help being speechless, "Wow, it's flying straight down!"

Other sectors are fine, but the financial sector is really unwatchable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it jumped off a cliff.

"Don't look at it, it's nothing to look at,"

On the screen, Qin Yu pretended to be calm and said, "It is normal for the stock market to fall, and besides the stock market, the foreign exchange market is also in a bleak situation. The US dollar and Australian dollar are both falling.

In any case, Lehman is also one of the four major investment banks in the United States, and a well-known old-fashioned financial institution in the world. If such a company collapses, if there is no disturbance, it will be a disgrace to his name! "

The corners of Chen Yang's mouth twitched slightly,

According to you~www.readwn.com~ you should feel honored? !

Huang Shan turned around and looked at Qin Yu, "Since last September 30, when Citigroup acquired Wachovia Bank for a total price of 53 billion US dollars, until today Lehman went bankrupt, there are 15 banks in the United States. Large and medium-sized banks were merged or went bankrupt,

In addition, countless small banks have collapsed,

This series of reactions, fed back to the stock market, is the decline of the global stock market this year.

Until today, when Lehman went bankrupt, it was time to put an end to this financial crisis. "

On the screen, Fang Qi walked in from outside the screen, served Qin Yu a cup of coffee, and left quickly,

Qin Yu said thank you, picked it up, took a sip, put it down and said, "We think it's a full stop, but many economists and scholars don't think so,"

He looked in Chen Yang's direction and said with a smile, "This is one of the main reasons why I proposed to hold this emergency meeting today. We need to re-determine the action plan for the next stage.

Next, it depends on whether the boss can stick to his opinion! "
