American Fortune Life
Chapter 850: Game of Money · Best of Both Worlds
Andy fell a bit interested by Arvitelli's questioning. You should know that Arco rarely jokes about investment.
"Let's hear what news makes you kidding."
"Bad should have heard of it. The former NYSE-Euronext Euro Exchange eo John Sain took over the post of Merrill Lynch eo." Arr asked Bardstone with a smile.
"Well, this guy got Merrill Lynch's year-end dividend just a few days after taking office, and he didn't hesitate to accept it. I don't know if the takeover of Merrill Lynch was good or bad." Bardstone was also a bit He laughed wryly, and seemed to be very cold to John Thain.
"Hehe, I do n’t know if it ’s good or bad, but our Merrill Lynch friend just told me that he has selected three Merrill Lynch assets for sale to alleviate the financial dilemma. Think tank analysis predicts that Citi, **** and Merrill Lynch May write off another $ 34 billion in subprime securities. "
When Andy heard Al's words, he couldn't help flashing his eyes, and smiled at the corners of his mouth, "It seems that the three assets to be sold are somewhat interesting, let's say, what projects make you think I will be interested?"
"Thirty percent of Bloomberg's equity!"
"what?!"
Andy affirmed aloud with a look of astonishment. He looked at Arvitelle in disbelief, hoping that this was not his message to entertain himself.
"Boss, you heard me right, it's 30% of Bloomberg's equity! However, Merrill only needs cash, and Bloomberg's valuation has been premiumd to $ 10 billion by them ..."
"Fxxk! That's worth it too! How much liquidity can I use now? Is it 3.3 billion enough?" Andy's expression of irresistible excitement appeared on his face. He reached out and waved his fist, interrupting Al's words directly, and his excited eyes were green Empty.
This news also had to excite Andy, but it was Bloomberg. To be honest, maybe the people in the dynasty would not care about this Bloomberg News, but if you are slightly interested in international news, you ca n’t ignore this one, which is dedicated to the global media. , News agencies that provide news.
Many television stations, newspapers, and online news sources mostly come from Bloomberg. By 2015, this situation was even more common.
Bloomberg News was founded in 1981 by Bloomberg Information Corporation of the United States. It is the world's largest financial information company, with about 130 news agencies and about 2,000 news professionals worldwide. Founder Michael Bloomberg, yes still a Jew.
It is mainly used as a platform for economic information. Users around the world use it to exchange information. It also provides authoritative economic reviews and opinions, and provides economic information to company groups and organizations, including local economic and economic information.
Seeing this, do you feel a little familiar and feel that the mode is very heavenly?
The most important thing is that it is the world's largest financial information service provider. Its data terminal system "Bloomberg Professional Services" can help customers view and analyze real-time financial market data and conduct transactions.
Customers using this data terminal are located all over the world, including traders, investment banks, the Federal Reserve, other US official agencies, and major central banks around the world. The terminal has an annual fee of $ 20,000, and 315,000 users worldwide contribute $ 7.9 billion in revenue to Bloomberg each year.
Each employee of Bloomberg has its own terminal, including more than 2,400 journalists in its media department.
It is definitely Ali in the press, or Ali's Jack Ma is likely to have borrowed from Bloomberg's organizational framework.
The company has grown into a global multimedia group that integrates news, data and data analysis. In just 26 years, Bloomberg has surpassed the Reuters Group, the world's largest information company with a 150-year history, in sales of its financial data market.
This company, which has a 33% market share in finance and media, do n’t ask for a valuation of 10 billion, which is 20 billion. Andy will find a way to get the funds to get this 30% share. You know, Michael Bloomberg, the old fox, takes his shares more seriously than his life. For so many years, he still holds more than 55% of the stock.
Although he successfully took the throne of the mayor of New York City and resigned as the president of Bloomberg because of the election campaign in 2002, he still clung to the company's CEO position.
This is a more valuable Bloomberg empire in the eyes of Andy than News Corp. If he can get a third of the shares this time, then he will become the dedicated service network of Bloomberg, which is well connected with the Internet. One of the hosts.
Bardstone drew a corner of his mouth, looking with a trace of resentment to Arvitelle, who shrugged his shoulders, "The 2.7 billion US dollars authorized by the existing boss of Liberty City Company, the Apple stock costing 700 million US dollars, and the company's operations The capital is 300 million US dollars, and the available funds are 3 billion. "
"Gaia currently has 2.5 billion available funds, and there are still 205 million in the boss's private account ..." Arvitt reported some odds.
"Eh? Oh ~" The number that Andy had been reported was a little stunned, which was a lot more than 12 billion, and it was just a second thought, Nima, his group of men are helping him make money every day, I believe in the UK The year-end report over there will also give him a happy number.
"We should thank those devils in the foot basin country. I did not expect the dollar to depreciate, but my assets have grown again, haha." Andy couldn't help laughing.
Alvitre and Bardstone were stunned at the same time, looking away blindly, filtering out the words of their young big boss with strong racial discrimination, anyway, the important people around them were accustomed to the boss for the devil Bangzi, Asan's name, will consciously automatically close the hearing.
"By the way, Al, Bard said before that there is money to suppress the price of gold futures, which has been close to two months. The price of gold has been oscillating from $ 780 to $ 815. This **** happens to take this opportunity. I Want to play a hedge and teach them some lessons! "
"..."
"..."
Alvitre and Bardstone looked at each other with frowns, and then thought quickly.
"Christmas will be closed for one day, and near the end of the year, most of the funds will be given back and cashed out. If you want to leverage the gold futures market, we need to increase leverage. Naturally, your credit rating is not a problem, but the risk is still very high. Large, and because of the time difference, we cannot achieve the simultaneous suppression of New York-London ... "
"No, Al, we can do it, but the boss, according to the analysis, we think that the gold futures in February next year will have a possibility of rising in the near future. The new low, the Nikkei is affected by this and continued to rise sharply, and the exchange rate against the pound has been infinitely close to 1: 2, the price of gold will inevitably rise because of the depreciation of the dollar. At this time, if we Once you venture to hedge, it is very likely that you will go short!
As for the simultaneous suppression, before the U.S. market opens, because it is Christmas Eve, London will be closed before 12 o'clock. Let us people in London suppress the gold futures price from the opening of the market, and try to achieve a linkage effect. An hour later, we were shorting with leveraged funds, two-way options, and backhand low-suction ... "
Andy is a bit entangled, so maybe it may be successful. After all, the power to suppress gold futures is already very large. Adding some external forces on his own side, maybe it will cause a violent market shock. There is no problem in making money, but he still remembers What about the 30 percent Bloomberg stock in Merrill Lynch?
Seemingly to understand the mind of the young boss, Arvitelli's eyes lightened slightly, and he came up with the best of both worlds.
"Boss, otherwise, we will contact the London side immediately and ask them to report the specific amount of gold futures they hold. On our side, we will directly collect 4 billion U.S. dollars with interest on the loan from the Bank of America to your boss The gold mortgage is redeemed. After the market opens tomorrow, the spot gold will be directly used to impact the gold futures market. Such a large number of spot gold will enter the market. Futures that expire in February next year will not fall. The profit is a little bit less, but we can guarantee that the value of the gold in the hands of the boss will not shrink due to market shocks. Take out a part of the spot gold funds previously sold and add leverage to reduce the absorption, so that we have enough in our hands. Cash and enough gold futures chips, the best of both worlds! "
