Back To 1995

  Chapter 910 Familiar formula

  Hearing that it was Song Yang calling, Edison showed a little interested expression. Since the Internet collapsed, the relationship between Song Yang and Edison has been a little less.

Hearing a call from Song Yang suddenly, Edison glanced at the direction of the stop, and turned his mouth disdainfully. Compared to reporting to the old men in Frankfurt, Edison still felt that he was dealing with Song Yang. A little more interesting.

The rebellious Edison has always lacked respect for the old guys on the board of directors of the Frankfurt Bank headquarters, and the Frankfurt headquarters can't restrain Edison. Of course, the premise is that Edison can let those Help the pockets of European gentlemen get bigger and bigger!

   "Let them report to the Frankfurt Board of Directors!"

  Edison waved his hand, and said to Anshu Jain, let some executives go to Frankfurt instead of him to report to those people.

On the way back to the office building in New York, Edison listened to Anshu Jain talking about Song Yang's proposal. It was still a familiar taste and a familiar formula. Deutsche Bank Investment Bank should provide the North American Global Investment Fund and Amazon provides enough cash flow, just like the group of short sellers who hunted short and double-clicked, continue to hunt Amazon once!

  Listening to Anshu Jain's words, Edison smiled. Now that the Nasdaq is crashing, there are short-selling institutions everywhere. At this time, there is a wave of hunting, and it is estimated that they can cut a bunch of leeks.

  Thinking that Song Yang will invest so many resources in Amazon, Edison can't help but feel a little bit interested in Amazon.

If it is said that Edison, who has always been rebellious and proud of his talents, had a little admiration for Song Yang's investment vision in the Internet industry, even Edison has to admit that the single bet For an Internet company, Song Yang's standards are far better than those of those troubled Wall Street analysts.

But this time the Internet collapsed, Song Yang dared not say that he would retreat completely. Compared with the shrinking part of his worth on paper, Song Yang got much more things from the Internet. Let Edison care.

  It is not easy to get a good knife on the Internet, but it may be too difficult to run off the avalanche and swallow what you eat in your mouth...

Song Yang is so interested in Amazon at the moment, and in the current Internet market, he dares to spend so much money, and even fight with Wall Street hedge funds to keep Amazon, which is enough to show that Song Yang values ​​​​Amazon Now, how could Edison not be curious about Amazon.

  However, seeing Song Yang proposed the amount of funds he wanted to borrow from Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, Edison couldn't help but let out a soft "huh".

   Closed his eyes and thought for a moment, Edison asked Anshu Jain, "Has Bruno Song done anything special recently?!"

Anshu Jain was surprised. He didn't know why Edison asked this question suddenly. After thinking for a while, he shook his head, "Since he gave up his identity as the major shareholder of ICQ, Bruno Song rarely appeared in front of the media. , Bruno Song did not participate in the listing of eBay and Feitafeng Company!

  Until the recent ICQ board meeting ended without a problem, Bruno Song launched the "Spark Fund" to re-invest in Internet companies, but the effect..."

Anshu Jain shook his head. Obviously, the record of the Spark Fund is really not impressive. "Since the launch of the Spark Fund, it is said that the loss has exceeded 700 million US dollars, otherwise Bruno Song would not have found us. Hedge funds who want to snipe and hunt Wall Street!"

When the Spark Fund was first released, it was indeed what everyone expected. The stocks acquired by the Spark Fund were considered to be "Bruno Concept Stocks". The stock prices invested by Spark Fund, such as Amazon, Ebsy, Fortinet, Sohu, etc., all fell accordingly, and Bruno's concept stocks seemed to be not very bright.

  Hearing Anshu Jain's words, Edison's expression did not change at all. He has a rebellious personality, but he will not despise any opponent.

  Listening to Anshu Jain's words, Edison seemed to be thinking something wrong, and then suddenly thought of Song Yang's negative view of ICQ, Edison couldn't help laughing.

  Glanced at Anshu Jain, and said to him, the number one fanatical believer, "Don't underestimate anyone. Until the last moment, you will never be able to guess the ending. The winner and the loser may finally reveal the answer!"

   Thinking of Surya who was arranging Song Yang, Edison shook his head, wondering who gave Surya the courage to think that he could provoke Song Yang.

  Even if Deutsche Bank does not help Song Yang, Edison believes that relying on the huge cash flow in Song Yang's hands, Surya's gang will be able to afford to go around. It's just that Song Yang's risk is a little bit higher.

   Similarly, within a few years, who dares to say that Spark Fund’s investment this time is completely a leek, and in the same way, who will win and who will win at ICQ?

  As someone who can hang Edison's photo in his office, Anshu Jain never doubted Edison's words, "President Mitchell, did you find something?"

   Addison Mitchell didn't say it clearly, but just said with a smile, "I'm afraid there will be another good show after the Internet, and ICQ will also become lively!"

   "Song!"

  San Jose Bruno Family Club, who once won the leverage king Henry Kravis, gave Song Yang a hug.

   "Unexpectedly, Song, you still remember me, an old guy!"

Kravis smiled and said to Song Yang in a "complaining" tone. The older a person is, the more he fears being forgotten. For those who care about fame and fortune, life is basically "over".

  Song Yang and Henry Kravis walked towards the club, "I can't think of anyone who dares to forget the king of leverage that once made the entire Wall Street tremble!"

   As soon as these words came out, Kravis couldn't help laughing. Although he knew that Song Yang was flattering him, Song Yang's attitude towards him was enough to comfort Kravis, who was already an "old man" on Wall Street.

  Song Yang looked at Kravis and saw that Kravis was still healthy and strong. He knew that he should have a good life in the past few years.

   Kravis took his KKR Group transformation and started the business of acquisition, investment advisory, and listing assistance. With Kravis's tens of decades of contacts, it is basically easy to do these businesses.

  When he came to the club, Kravis sighed, "Too many things have happened this year, the changes in the Internet industry, and Enron and Kenneth..."

   Song Yang met Kravis at the beginning, and it was recommended by Kenneth. Who knows that things are different today, and Kenneth has sadly resigned from the post of president of Enron Group, wanting to avoid this year's difficulties.

   But the situation of Enron is very bad. Once it is found out that the financial fraud is true, the Enron Group may collapse. Similarly, even Kenneth, who is not the head of Enron, may not be able to escape.

When Song Yang heard Kravis mentioning Kenneth, he was silent for a while. According to the rules of the world, other people can point fingers at An Ran, but Song Yang can't do it. Jindu was ruined, but Kenneth really didn't cheat Song Yang, maybe he didn't value Song Yang's worth at all...

   "President Kravis, I invite you to come here this time. I hope that I can continue to cooperate with you again!"

Song Yang didn't talk too much about Kenneth's matter, Anran's matter, the water is too deep, many big figures are involved in it, and they are still wrestling, now Song Yang will not be dragged into Anran's pit, once stepping into it, I am afraid Not everyone has to fall into it.

   Kravis's eyes flashed brightly. Before he came, he already had some speculations in his heart. Now that Song Yang said it himself, he was a little more certain.

  When the hedge funds that hunted short and double-clicked, and fought with LVMH Group to compete for the Gucci brand, they all found Kravis to take command or invite them to be consultants.

  The hedge funds that were short-selling and double-clicking were killed to the point of blood, and the LVMH group also got a bad nose, and they didn't get a single hair. Kravis also proved that although he is old and cheap, he can still eat!

  The so-called employment is not suspicious, and acquaintances are naturally easy to cooperate. Professional things have to be done by professional people. Song Yang will never do any micromanagement on this point.

   "Song, what do you want to do?"

   Having worked with Song Yang several times, Kravis is also familiar with Song Yang's character, so he didn't bother to make any more routines, so he asked Song Yang directly.

  Pushing a cup of coffee in front of Kravis, Song Yang said indignantly, "As we all know, the Internet industry has experienced twists and turns, and countless Internet companies and investors have suffered huge losses.

The North American Global Investment Foundation launched the Spark Fund, hoping to do its best for the Internet industry, to keep a sliver of fire for the Internet, and to reduce the losses of investors. However, some people are unwilling to see the recovery of the Internet. It is necessary to continue shorting through various unscrupulous methods, so that more investors will continue to face losses..."

   Hearing Song Yang's awe-inspiring words, Kravis couldn't help but twitched. According to this set of rhetoric, then the double-click company and the group of short sellers who hunted it back then were regarded as killing the leeks.

  The teacher must be famous, and it must not be said to cut leeks. Although there may not be much difference in essence, it cannot be like those hedge funds that do things without covering up. It is no wonder that they have such a bad reputation.

   "Amazon is constantly being shorted. In addition to Amazon, Fortinet, eBay, Sohu and other technology companies invested by Spark Fund are constantly being shorted. Some people seem to want to delist all these companies!"

Song Yang didn't hide it, and told Kravis's current situation directly. Today is different from the past. Back then, Double-click Company was the period when the Internet exploded, and the market was optimistic about the Internet, but now it is different. No one is optimistic at all. As soon as the stock price rose, the leeks took the opportunity to run away, not to mention those big institutions, each of them was a slippery loach, running faster than anyone else!

   Kravis showed the style of old-school Wall Streeters. Hearing Song Yang say this, his face didn't change at all, and he didn't show any excitement or embarrassment.

   "With the current situation of the Internet, we must win the first game, otherwise I am afraid there will be no chance!"

   Kravis pondered for a moment and said, "Now Amazon's market value is not high, but it is a suitable battlefield, but this time is different from the double-click last time, and it needs more cash!

  The other party will definitely not only be short on Amazon. They must also stabilize the stock prices of Sohu and other companies to attack those short sellers in Amazon! "

Although it is said that Amazon will be the main battlefield, the short-selling institutions will definitely not only short Amazon, and they will not let go of other so-called "Bruno concept stocks". definitely affected.

Although it is said that remember to eat or not to fight, Wall Street hedge funds will heal their scars and forget the pain when they see a beautiful knife, but after all, they have suffered a loss once. This time, hedge funds shorting Amazon will definitely raise more money. The cash collected chips, when the time comes, it will be a scene of shooting each other with a knife!

   "I have already approached Deutsche Bank, Edison should not refuse this cooperation proposal!"

When Song Yang finished speaking, Kravis couldn't help but smile. Back then, the Double-click company hunted short sellers on Wall Street and made a profit of 4.7 billion dollars. The German banking industry directly took 40% of it in just two weeks. Character, how could such a thing be missed.

Kravis is gearing up and ready to do another big job. His career resume is exciting enough once it comes in. Kravis is going to let the last moments of his career in his memoir be written in full force, even the last moments , neither does Kravis, who is defined as mediocre...

  At this moment, Marcus came over and whispered a few words in Song Yang's ear. Song Yang couldn't help showing a strange look on his face when he heard it.

   Kravis looked curiously at Song Yang, and Song Yang said to Kravis, "Edison's private plane crashed..."

First, he was taken aback, and then Kravis almost jumped up in shock. What is Edison's status now? Deutsche Bank is recognized as the next leader. More than 60% of the entire Deutsche Bank's current income is Edison's Deutsche Bank. The contribution of the investment banking department is that Edison revitalized the old Deutsche Bank, allowing the slow-moving giant to reload on the road. Kravis couldn't imagine how the Deutsche Bank would react.

   "But Edison didn't take that plane!"

  Song Yang then added another sentence, which made Kravis, who was gasping for breath, finally catch that breath.

   "This joke is not easy at all, Song!"

   Sit down, clutching Kravis at the heart, and said to Song Yang.

Indeed, as Kravis said, the entire financial industry in America and Europe has completely exploded today. European bank stocks have plummeted across the board, and several major stock markets have also dived intraday. Bank stocks in America are not much better. , even if the media immediately announced that Edison was alive and well and did not take that plane, it still didn't help.

Deutsche Bank is the overlord of the European investment industry. Most of Europe is invested by Deutsche Bank, and Edison is too important to Deutsche Bank. Such news is really too exciting. Even major institutions and financial groups I was stunned for a while, not to mention the leeks, they were all running away like crazy...

   I'm sorry everyone, the update is late, I'm really sorry!

   Last night, there was an epidemic in the community opposite where I live, and I was afraid that the place I lived would also be affected. I got up at six o'clock today and took my family to the hospital for examination and medicine. I was afraid that I would not be able to go by then.

   When I came back in the afternoon, I went to buy food and other things. There were several supermarkets where I lived, but I couldn’t buy anything, so I had to go to a distant place to look for it.

   Originally, I didn’t rush this way, but the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes. I’m really sorry everyone, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, (=TェT=)
