American Fortune Life

Andy was a little interested by Alvetrie's question. You must know that Alvitre seldom joked about investment issues.

"Let's hear it, what news makes you feel like joking."

"Bad should also have heard that the former NYSE-Euronext John Sion took over the position of Merrill Lynch." Al asked with a smile and looked at Bud Stone.

"Well, and this guy got a year-end dividend from Merrill Lynch just a few days after he took office, and he accepted it without hesitation. I don't know if it's good or bad for this guy to take over Merrill Lynch." Bardstone was also a little bit With a sarcastic smile on his face, he seemed to be very displeased with this John Thain.

"Hehe, I don't know whether it is good or bad, but our friend of Merrill Lynch just told me that he has selected three Merrill Lynch assets for sale to ease the financial difficulties. Think tank analysis and forecast, Citigroup, ** and Merrill Lynch Potentially write down another $34 billion in subprime securities."

When Andy heard Al's words, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth turned up with a smile: "It seems that the three assets to be sold are interesting. Tell me, what project makes you think I will be interested?"

"30% of Bloomberg's equity!"

"what?!"

Andy confirmed loudly with a look of astonishment, he looked at Alvetrie in disbelief, hoping that this was not information he said to amuse himself.

"Boss, you heard me right, it's a 30% stake in Bloomberg! However, Merrill Lynch only needs cash, and Bloomberg's valuation has been valued at a premium of $10 billion..."

"FXXK! That's worth it! How much liquidity can I use now? Is it enough for 3.3 billion?" An uncontrollable excitement appeared on Andy's face, he stretched out his hand and punched, interrupting Al's words directly, his excited eyes turned green Finished.

This news also has to make Andy excited, it is Bloomberg, to be honest, maybe the common people of China will not care about this Bloomberg, but anyone who is even slightly interested in international news can’t ignore this company dedicated to various media around the world. , a news organization that provides news.

Most of the news sources reported by TV stations, newspapers, and the Internet come from Bloomberg. Around 2015, this situation became more common.

Founded in 1981, Bloomberg News is the largest financial information company in the world, with about 130 news bureaus and about 2,000 news professionals around the world. The founder, Michael Bloomberg, is, yes, still a Jew.

It is mainly used as an economic information platform, and users from all over the world use it to exchange information. It also provides authoritative economic reviews and opinions, and provides economic information to companies and organizations, including economic information from all over the world.

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 provider of financial information services. Its data terminal system "Bloomberg Professional Services" can help customers view and analyze real-time financial market data and conduct transactions.

Customers using the data terminal are all over the world, including traders, investment banks, the Federal Reserve, other official U.S. agencies, and major central banks around the world. The terminal costs $20,000 a year, and its 315,000 users around the world contribute $7.9 billion in revenue to Bloomberg each year.

Every employee of Bloomberg has its own terminal, including more than 2,400 journalists in its media department.

It is definitely the Ali of the press, or Ali's Jack Ma is likely to have borrowed from Bloomberg's organizational structure.

The company has grown into a global multimedia group integrating news, data and data analysis. In just 26 years, Bloomberg surpassed the 150-year-old Reuters Group, the largest information company in the world, in the sales revenue of its financial data market.

This kind of company that occupies 33% of the market share in finance and media, not to mention the valuation of 10 billion, is 20 billion, and Andy will find a way to gather funds to get the 30% of the shares.

You know, Michael Bloomberg, an old fox, values ​​the shares in his hands more than his life. Over the years, he still holds more than 55% of the shares.

Although he successfully sat on the throne of mayor of New York City and resigned from the position of president of Bloomberg because of his successful election in 2002, he still clings to the position of CEO of the company.

This is a Bloomberg empire that is more valuable than News Corporation in Andy's eyes. If he can get one-third of the equity this time, he will become the leader of Bloomberg's dedicated line service network that is not far behind the Internet. one of the hosts.

The corners of Bardstone's mouth twitched, and his eyes looked at Alvitre, who curled his lips and shrugged his shoulders with a trace of resentment, "The 2.7 billion dollars authorized by the current boss of Liberty City, the Apple stock costing 700 million dollars, and the company's operations The capital is 300 million U.S. dollars, and the available funds are 3 billion."

"Gaia Corporation currently has 2.5 billion funds available, and the boss's private account still has 205 million..." Alvitley reported some odds.

"Huh? Oh~" Andy was slightly taken aback by the number reported, which is much more than 12 billion. Thinking about it again, it suddenly dawned on me. Nima, my group of subordinates are helping him make money every day. I believe the British The year-end report over there will also give him a happy number.

"We should thank those devils in the foot basin country. I didn't expect the depreciation of the dollar to increase my assets again, haha." Andy couldn't help laughing happily.

Alvetrie and Bardstone wandered away at the same time, looking elsewhere with absent-minded eyes, and directly filtered out the words of strong racial discrimination from their young big boss. Anyway, the important people around them are used to the boss's treatment of devils. Bangzi, Ah San's address, they will consciously and automatically shut down their hearing.

"By the way, Al, before Bud said that he has the funds to suppress the price of gold futures. It has been nearly two months, and the price of gold has been fluctuating from $780 to $815. These bastards, just take this opportunity, I I want to play a game of hedging and teach them a lesson!"

"..."

"..."

Alvetrie and Bardstone both frowned and looked at each other, then quickly thought about it.

"Christmas will be closed for one day, and near the end of the year, most of the funds will be withdrawn and cashed out. If the boss wants to leverage the gold futures market, we need to increase leverage. Your credit rating is naturally no problem, but the risk is still very high. Big, and because of the time difference, we couldn't do the same New York-London crackdown..."

"No, Al, we can do it, but boss, according to the analysis, we believe that the gold futures in February next year may have a wave of rise in the near future. Affected by this, the Nikkei index has continued to rise against the trend, and the exchange rate against the British pound is infinitely close to 1:2. The price of gold will inevitably rise explosively due to the depreciation of the US dollar. At this time, if we Once you take the risk of hedging, you are likely to miss out!

As for the problem of simultaneous suppression, before the opening of the U.S. market, because it is Christmas Eve, the London market will be closed before 12:00, so that our people in London will suppress the price of gold futures from the opening of the market, try to achieve a linkage effect, and the London market will be closed An hour later, we are using leveraged funds to short, two-way options, and then backhand to buy low. . . "

Andy was a little entangled. This might really be successful. After all, the financial power to suppress gold futures is already very strong. A little external force on his side might cause violent market shocks. There is no problem in making money, but he is still thinking about it. What about the 30% of Bloomberg shares in the hands of Merrill Lynch?

As if he understood the young boss's intentions, Alvetrie's eyes lit up slightly, and he came up with an idea to get the best of both worlds.

"Boss, otherwise, we will contact London in a while and ask them to report the specific number of gold futures they hold. Our side will directly gather up 4 billion U.S. dollars with loan interest to transfer your batch of gold futures from the Bank of America." The gold is mortgaged and redeemed. After the market opens tomorrow, we will directly use this batch of spot gold to hit the gold futures market. With such a large amount of spot gold entering the market, the futures due in February next year will not fail to fall. The profit is a little less, but we can guarantee that the value of the gold in the hands of the boss will not be affected by market shocks and shrink. We will take out a part of the spot gold funds sold before and leverage it to buy low, so that we have enough in our hands Cash and enough gold futures chips, the best of both worlds!"
