Chicago 1990

Chapter 1396: Call me god

Prime Minister? Prime Minister of France? Does it represent the French government? Hope arose in the young Bronfman's heart, "Send him back to where he should stay!" He instructed the bodyguards and then left his cousin who had completed the task of demonstrating family unity at the bell ringing ceremony, and walked out quickly. Follow Messier.

"The trading suspension line and the lower limit line all represent a major psychological barrier for investors. I thought it would not be fast, even if it fell by 9.8% today..."

Vivendi Global was forced to suspend trading for 15 minutes on the first morning of its new debut in the capital market. This completely exceeded the Avengers’ expectations. According to Tiger Fund’s deduction, the most optimistic one would also be on the fourth trading day. It was 18 points before the close of the market on Friday, June 23rd, and came to the most fierce moment of the most dangerous long-short game, so Song Ya arranged to arrive in France on the same day to personally hold the line, anyway, by then he must have been hidden. There is no need to hide your head and show your tail.

And now, Vivendi Universal has fallen by 10%, completing more than half of the Avengers’ goal. This is 10% of the market value of 89 billion euros for multinational giants, which means that 8.9 billion euros have evaporated in less than one morning.

And because Vivendi is one of the forty companies in the CAC40 index of the Paris Exchange, its plunge has triggered panic in the market, and companies in the broader market and the same sector have followed the decline.

Julian Robertson said: "Maybe the rumors of Vivendi’s tens of billions of false accounts yesterday are not a trap. Other short sellers have already grasped this. They have captured Vivendi’s weaknesses, and we have captured Universal Music’s , The two sides are meeting at the right time, or it is because we moved, they can only be forced to follow in advance without completing sufficient preparations."

"Anyway, it's good news for us, right?"

Song Ya opened the door a crack and observed a filming team outside the suite. Unexpectedly, the short-selling business had progressed so quickly. He and Hallie accepted an interview with this Spanish mainstream media at 11 o’clock, but now Vivan Trading on Di’s side has been suspended. During the fifteen minutes waiting to reopen, he was not in the mood to talk about superhero movies.

The hostess should be very disappointed at the on-the-spot change of the global superstar, holding a microphone in her hand and surrounded by members of the program group such as photography, lighting, and producer, while waiting for an explanation while talking anxiously in a low voice.

"Haha! Of course, maybe we should adapt to the situation, raise some expectations, and change the previous plan to be more...reasonable?" Julian Robertson proposed.

More reasonable? Is it more radical and greedy?

"First... follow the original plan, let's see the situation after the suspension is over, and then make a decision?"

Song Ya is very self-aware. The first time he dabbled in securities speculation, he focused on stability. Julian Robertson's Tiger Fund's transcripts in recent years are terrible, and it is dangerous to hand over the leadership to them on the first day.

"It's the afternoon." He told the old Mike after the call.

It's normal for the American Red Star to play big cards, and the film crew quietly packed up their equipment and left after being notified by Old Mike.

In a meeting room of the Paris Exchange, Messier and others changed their habit of speaking English to accommodate each other when American partners were present. They talked and quarreled violently in French throughout the process, and spoke very fast.

Of course, the young Bronfman himself knows French, the wine family has always attached great importance to French education, and the base camp of the Westgram wine industry is located in the French-speaking Quebec of Canada.

"Why is this? Why? Messier, who you didn't say to the Chief and the Prime Minister before, how much benefit would the victory of Seagram Universal bring to the Vivendi Group Barabara..."

The French government came to the General Secretariat of the General Office, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Prime Minister’s Office. Several senior bureaucrats were more like those who had been sent to find out about the situation. The pesky from the Ministry of Industry and Trade kept shrugging his shoulders and questioning Messier. , From time to time, waving his hands and gesticulating to his side, "Do you not even figure out how many false accounts they have made for an M&A case of more than 30 billion meters?"

"That's just a rumor from a short-selling institution." Little Bronfman would not admit it, and immediately interrupted the other party in French. The Tiger Fund's short-selling report was not a court decision.

"We will figure it out, we will figure it out!" The pesky got even more excited.

"Let's take a mirror and look at yourself first!"

Messier should have thrown the pot to himself in the communication with the French leader. The young Bronfman was outraged, the DefJam record bubble...Even if all the bubbles of the Polygram series are added, they are not worth 8.9 billion. Europe, today’s plunge is obviously more related to Vivendi’s rumors of tens of billions of euros in false accounts.

"Calm down, what's the point of discussing these now? We need support, right now! Most of the institutions involved in short selling today should come from the United States. They acquired a French company that owns one of the top seven in Hollywood and one of the top five in the global recording industry. One of the media giants is very angry. They will not be happy to see us master a global media group that can compete on an equal footing with it."

Instead, Messier became a peacemaker, "When will the BNP Paribas people come..." He raised his wrist to look at his watch, "Damn it! Fifteen minutes are here."

"It's almost 80 euros!" The subordinates hurriedly looked at the market, Vivendi Global was still falling.

The meeting room was suddenly noisy, and almost everyone was talking to themselves and blaming each other. Messier is not without opponents within Vivendi.

Young Bronfman watched these unorganized Frenchmen lift their foreheads and sighed. He knew that from today on, the honeymoon period for both sides would be over. Looking at this situation, the French government will certainly pursue the issue of Sigram Global’s false accounts after the event, and I have to make preparations on my own side and return to the United States to try to capture the evidence of Vivendi’s false accounts as soon as possible.

Damn it! The group of Dutch Germans behind Philips who sold Polygram to themselves must be laughing now!

In Manhattan, New York, Julian Robertson gave a heavy hammer to his desk. He wiped off the sweat from his forehead and walked to the window with his trouser pockets vigorously. Some reporters were already waiting below the office building where the Tiger Fund headquarters is located.

He smiled and was very satisfied. This kind of situation has been rare in recent years, and there are also negative troubles.

‘Vivendi Global continued to fall after the suspension of trading. Before the close of the morning, the company’s stock price fluctuated sharply at the 80-Euro mark...’

Barcelona, ​​Song Ya and Halle, Skinner and Old Mike were eating lunch while listening to the news. Eighty euros is an important integer psychological threshold. According to Song Zecheng’s report just now, Bill Huang judged that the shock was not large. The bailout funds entered, but a large number of small and medium-sized institutions and ordinary investors were buying bottoms.

Vivendi still has a strong foundation of public trust in France. In addition, its media has also started to hype up during the lunch break. Countless retail investors are fighting hard to maintain this multinational giant in France and the pride of the country.

At this point, Song Ya has completely abandoned the troubles and gains and losses, chewing the chicken breast and broccoli slowly.

"Will it be pulled up in the afternoon? Will there be a reverse pull in the stock price?"

Halle was more nervous than him, "Do we have enough money to fight against so many retail investors?"

"Our money?" Song Ya blinked and asked with a smile.

"Your your... OK?" Hallie rolled her eyes and slapped his arm. "Humph!"

I listened to Skinner next to him, "APLUS, are you really not worried?" He knocked on the side. I dare not divulge the secret at the moment, but the old man plans to write this legendary experience he witnessed in his memoir and publish it before he hangs it up. There will be nothing to be afraid of then.

‘The black pharaoh’s close encounters during the transnational raid on a giant with a market value of hundreds of billions’, he even thought of the chapter title.

"If you try your best, there is nothing to worry about." Song Ya took a sip of the wine that served him.

"What's the matter with you?" The local Spanish film crew who was having dinner outside the hotel waiting to continue the interview in the afternoon, the photographer found that the producer frequently went out to call, so he asked.

"Nothing, stockbroker."

The Catalan region, where Barcelona is located, borders France. Compared with the main ethnic group of Spain, they are closer to the French. The producer also invested in Vivendi’s stock, but as a media person in the entertainment category, He is not well informed, and I still don't know that one of the short-selling tycoons behind him is the subject of today's interview.

Ten percent. The savings from years of hard work have shrunk a lot in the morning. Although he is not in full possession of Vivendi Global, it is still painful enough. He sat down with his chest, and sat there with a few words to deal with his colleagues. Stock brokers also send text messages to old friends for many years.

'What do you think? ’

‘It’s not good. I suggest you continue to hold it and observe again. The fundamentals of Vivendi Global are still healthy. Don’t believe the gossip. ’

‘DefJam Records and Universal Music made false accounts. The producer still knows the music industry very well.

‘That’s just a few dollars. The market in the morning has already been reflected, and even a bit overreacted. It is very likely to make up in the afternoon. It’s time to check it back, it’s time to file a lawsuit...’

‘OK, I believe you. ’

After eating, the group returned to the hotel. At two o'clock in the afternoon, they rearranged the interview area. The producer adjusted the phone to vibrate, and smiled to meet the global superstar APLUS and Hollywood black pearl Halle Berry who just appeared "Welcome to Barcelona, ​​Mr. APLUS, Miss Berry."

"It's nice to meet."

APLUS and Halle Berry have both dressed up carefully. APLUS is dressed in Gucci formal wear, calmly, and patiently shakes hands with all the crew to greet him. He can speak some simple Spanish conversations, but he is definitely not as proficient as the outside world is rumored to be.

"Then let's start now?" The two sat down in front of the camera, the host sat opposite, and the producer retreated into the shadows behind the camera.

"Yes." Song Ya adjusted his sitting posture, raised Erlang's legs, crossing his fingers on his knees.

"About Barcelona..."

"I like it here, I love Spain, I like the sun, the beach and the food here. I have been to Ibiza and it is so beautiful... Of course, Catalonia is the best, Ronaldo plays in this city Did you pass the ball? I have a good relationship with him." Song Ya licked hard.

"The Tiger Fund is a bit conservative, it's not like Julian Robertson's usual style."

At the same time, London, Deutsche Bank Global Financial Markets, boss Edison Mitchell was very dissatisfied with the performance of Vivendi Global's stock price in the afternoon.

After the acquisition of JPMorgan Chuangfu, Deutsche Bank’s London securities, derivatives, foreign exchange and commodities businesses have been losing money. Edison Mitchell used the 50 Merrill Lynch gangs from his former owner to represent the interests of U.S. financial capital. The members helped Deutsche Bank to turn the tide, and he is currently in the stage of vigorous expansion. He himself is called the "shark" Terminator" by the outside world, and his methods are very bloodthirsty.

"Perhaps you have lost your courage?" The subordinates joked.

"Hahaha!"

Addison Mitchell laughed. For a while, Wall Street liked to ridicule Julian Robertson, who voted or lost, and said, "It seems to be a bit like this..."

"Or was it held by his partner?" Another subordinate said.

"APLUS? The other way around, right? If that kid is trading now, he has definitely shot out the bullet..."

In the ever-changing futures speculative market, it is very important to understand the opponent's personality, such as export-oriented notebooks. Their banks like all operations to reduce the exchange loss of large trading companies. Knowing this can make a profit from it.

"Hahaha!"

Addison Mitchell believes that he has done enough to understand Julian Robertson and APLUS. He knows Messier and Little Bronfman better. He doesn't like any of these four people, and his subordinates After laughing again, he straightened his face, "Then... let's start smashing the plate."

"Smash it?"

"Smash it!"

Barcelona, ​​"Are you still in touch with Shakira?" The hostess Yu Guang saw a white-haired old man pointing to her watch to indicate that the short half-hour interview time was approaching, and she hurriedly asked about APLUS's emotional gossip .

Shakira is already a well-established DIVA in the Spanish-speaking area, and his relationship with APLUS is well known.

"Uh…"

Harry turned her head to look at herself, Song Ya sat up a little bit, "Not often... right? Occasionally... occasionally we make a phone call. We are still very good friends."

"Shakira and your current girlfriend Amy Adams used to have a good relationship, right? What happened between them?"

"Uh...uh..."

I hate it, do you want me to answer that they are getting better now? Song Ya complained in his heart.

He didn't see Skinner reminding him of the time, but he saw Old Mike holding up his mobile phone to signal to himself, that must be a major event in the stock market. Experience also told him that the interview time was approaching, "Aren't we..."

At this time, an untimely mobile phone vibrating sound came from the quiet interview site, which came from the direction of the camera. It was too unprofessional. When this kind of interview accident occurred, Song Ya immediately classified the TV station as a household that refused to contact, frowning and reproaching. Stare at it.

‘Puff! ’

Unexpectedly, the filmmaker who was just okay suddenly fell over and brought the camera down by the way...

"What's wrong with him!? Need to call an ambulance? Ah? Should I call an ambulance? Ah!? Ah!?" Hallie asked people anxiously in the chaos of the audience.

"It's **** unprofessional..." Song Ya picked up the producer's cell phone that fell to the ground, shook his head and laughed after seeing the text message on it, handed the cell phone to Skinner and turned away calmly.

Skinner glanced at the text message, immediately widened his eyes, and looked at the back of his young big boss eagerly. It was so calm, as if he had learned of a trivial matter, he used his eyes full of emotion. Pay attention to ceremony.

"YES!" Closing the door, Song Yacai was extremely excited and clenched his fists, bending over and shouting depressed, "YES! M-FXXK!" The last punch hit the hard wall hard.

At 2:30 pm French time, half an hour before the close, Vivendi Global plummeted by 18.75, which is also the limit of lower limit, and no more trading on that day.

Messier drove everyone away and sat alone at the top of the long conference table with his forehead, silent.

Little Bronfman got out of the car in despair and looked up at the high spire of the family castle.

"Call me God! Call me God!"

Addison Mitchell jumped onto the table in the trading room, yelled wildly under the gaze of everyone in the carnival, and then kicked the monitor away.

"Huh..."

David Geffen lay down on the beach chair and let out a long sigh of relief, "Hahaha..." Then he shook his head and laughed alone, "Hahaha!" The voice grew louder and louder.

"I know."

Underwood received a whispering notification from Chief of Staff Doug in the lobby of the House of Representatives. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com nodded and continued to negotiate the bill under discussion with his colleagues.

"It's better to... carry out the agreement... Although we accomplished the expected goal in one day... or that sentence, it is important to implement good discipline."

Julian Robertson heard Song Ya's hesitant words on the phone in the elevator, and persuaded: "We have to talk tonight, now the situation is different..."

"Perhaps…"

"In the evening, we have a good conversation in the evening. A...Mr. Black Pharaoh..."

'Ding! ’

The sound of the elevator arriving on the first floor was so beautiful, he put his mobile phone in his arms, took a big step, and smiled at the flashlights of the reporters outside the door that had been lit like stars.

Thanks to the 67th ally for the star fanatic book friends!

thank you very much!
