Regarding Apple's choice to breach the contract and pay the price to fill the deep pit left by Ping An, although from any aspect, Andy took advantage, but in his opinion, it is also a helpless choice. After all, no matter Both the game company and the application store need the carrier of iphone.

However, I think that in less than half a year, it is only through a paper agreement that Apple Inc.'s USD 300 million in liquidated damages can be annoyed. At least in the short term, it is definitely a good deal. It does not require input and output, human and material resources. Consumption, you can get huge amounts of money, no matter how you look at it.

Besides, this is just the beginning. After all, on the road to pit Apple, Andy has decided to go all the way to the black. The best way to **** blood from Apple is to work **** its stock value.

As for the losses caused by Apple ’s possible default in the app store, Andy is not very worried. Negotiations, at least for a period of time, as long as it is November, then Android will release the source code, and then you can Focus on Android.

According to Apple's greed, it is conceivable what kind of sharing agreement its app store will set, although it can occupy the official advantage, but to put it bluntly, it is still necessary to open up the interests, and then there will naturally be a price war to grab resources. .

Listening to the several plans that Michael Wright said, Andy is quite satisfied. Although Apple will decide to open the app store itself, it will take at least several months to go public. Michael Wright guesses that the most It may be that when the new iChan mobile phone is launched, it will be listed at the same time, so it will now start negotiations to lift the Liberty City app's built-in contract for the iChan mobile phone.

This period of time can also be used to establish the market position and share of Liberty City. After all, this application software market will have more and more companies in the future, and no one can eat alone.

The dark night sky is as dark as ink, some gray clouds are as ethereal as vortex galaxies, and accompanied by many star points, the moon is hung on the dark curtain in the shape of a yellow crescent.

In a loose casual outfit, Andy took three female assistants, also in comfortable casual outfits, aboard a plane to London.

In the first class, the stewardess kindly helped Andy adjust the seat, laid a thick blanket, put the pillows, and then repeatedly confirmed that he had no other needs to leave. Andy smiled slightly, took off his shoes, and stood up Pillows, reclining on a seat, picked up the Predator Group's detailed report on the hedging of UK financial markets.

In fact, while accompany two little beauties in Las Vegas to play in the playground, he received the depositor run-up at Northrop Rock Bank, the fifth largest mortgage lender in the UK.

The subprime mortgage crisis that was supposed to calm down has not been passed as everyone hopes, but it is just digesting that part of the emergency rescue funds. As the financial crisis deepens, it has always been believed that the market should not be rescued and the government should not interfere in finances. The UK of the market finally began to taste their own bitter wine.

On the day of September 14th, Northrop Rock issued a profit warning, stating that the rise in interest rates was unexpected, and the credit shrinkage problem has slowed asset growth. It is expected that the pre-tax profit for 2007 will be 20% lower than expected. about.

The predator group, which has selected these mortgage lenders as a target hedge in the early morning, has been hiring financial experts and some media through the purchase since the beginning of September. It has questioned the status of these banks' holdings of US subordinated debt. Various analyses, bad news, shake the confidence of the British people.

If you want to say these means, for this group of people from Wall Street, they are just familiar with the road, not too simple, no matter who is the leader who began to sing, create panic, prepare for a meal, the international hot money and hot money are beginning to pass through their respective Way to boost this hype.

Seems to be clamoring all day for the powerlessness of the British banking industry. In fact, all the sharks roaming the ocean floor are waiting for a little blood that inadvertently flows out.

Northren Rock's profit warning is undoubtedly the **** smell that made this shark swarm start to compete for prey. The bought-in experts and media began to sing harder. The people who had been passively shaking their confidence began to question and worry. Choose to withdraw cash. When a Northren Rock bank was cashed out and the people refused to withdraw cash, the media began to contribute to the situation, doing various live reports and direct hits, which completely detonated the panic in the British people.

Since the run of Northrenock Bank nationwide in the UK at noon on September 14, 2007, as of September 18, more than 3 billion pounds have flowed out of Northrenlock Bank in just a few days. About 12% of the bank's total of more than 24 billion pounds of deposits, and its telephone banking and online banking business collapsed. Affected by this, in the past few days, Northrenault Bank's stock price fell by 70%, hitting a 7-year low , Has become Britain's biggest victim since the subprime mortgage crisis.

And the predator group that began to harvest profits even politely snatched 480 million pounds from Northrock Bank. Although the decline in the other banks is not so serious, the predators The team also bit off more than 200 million pounds.

Andy looked at the details of the financial statements marked on the data, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He was very satisfied, very satisfied. After more than a month of layout, he finally bitten a piece of meat from the British guy, a total of 700 million. For the pound, Andy has been happy all day.

In order to prevent the emergence of the system bank crisis, the British Treasury, the Bank of England and the Monetary Authority have successively adopted rescue measures such as capital injection and deposit account guarantees. The predator group, which has just harvested the first huge profit, has concentrated funds Only the bank stocks that have been smashed have returned to the carbines and carried out crazy low-price sweeping. After the saver rundown situation was alleviated and the panic of the banking system was brought under control, the stock prices of major banks were also swept crazy by predators. Coupled with the strong rebound in the market, bank stock prices have also risen to varying degrees.

This one-to-one operation, although there is still no final clearing and settlement proceeds, but Andy wants to make a profit of 200 to 300 million pounds, but after all, the funds prepared are sufficient to leverage the stock price.

To be honest, the predator group has now become famous in the British financial world. It was taken away by close to 1 billion pounds in four days. This cannot but make British people value them, especially the one who has already boarded the plane to arrive. The big boss of this team, Andy Smith, the youngest billionaire in the world, especially the British Monetary Authority, is still waiting.

And those hot money and hot money that have also made huge profits in this run-on storm have more identified this predator fund and want to continue to follow it to get greater income. They are also looking forward to Andy Smith. The next move in this young wealth myth.

Although it's not a lot of attention, but also under the attention of many parties, Andy Smith took three female assistants and six bodyguards off the ladder. Through the business corridor, I saw the predators picking up at the entrance of the corridor. Several members of the group were already waiting, with a smile on their faces, and nodded with satisfaction: "Good job!"

"Thank you boss for your praise, please ..."

The row of Andy's party caused a lot of people's curiosity. When Andy's bodyguard in front walked out of the gate of London Heathrow Airport, reporters and paparazzi swarming from both sides immediately surrounded the road of Andy's party Nothing leaked.

"Mr. Smith, what do you think about your hedge fund taking away a few pounds within a few days ..."

"I heard you're buying Tottenham ..."

"Will you invest in the UK ..."

"What do you think of the current financial risks in the UK ..."

The flashing flashes and the crowded scene made Andy's six bodyguards as if they were close to the enemy. The two bodyguards behind him were even colder with one hand pushing the reporter who pushed forward from time to time and the other hand. Unfolded to cover Andy's body.

Andy frowned. He didn't expect that he was surrounded by reporters as soon as he got off the plane, and the questions he shouted were still so incisive. Obviously someone wanted to do something, or to give this young man a little color. .

He can even imagine that in the newspapers of tomorrow, he will certainly be portrayed by these media as robbers robbing the British financial market, and establish his image as an unwanted person.

"Are you dismissed?"

Finally, under the security isolation of the airport, Andy sat safely in the Rolls-Royce Phantom Car, watching reporters clapping their teeth out of the car window, taking pictures with a camera, reporters couldn't help sinking into the water, and a sneer murmur appeared at the corner of his mouth One sentence.
