"Is Lehman Brothers Going to Follow Bear Stearns?" 》,

"Lehman CFO privately begged Einhorn to stop short selling\

,""Dragon Slayer Greenlight Capital stabbed Lehman Brothers in the heart\

,"…

On that day, the financial media, like sharks smelling blood, reported and reprinted the news of Einhorn's private meeting and conversation with Erin Callan on a large scale.

Much of the news has been directed at Erin Callan.

Some people say that she is an incompetent chief financial officer. She was unable to answer the various data and questions presented by Einhorn;

Others said that she knew best how big the hole was in Lehman and did not dare to accept Einhorn's words. She said too much and made many mistakes.

In short, Erin Callan is famous.

But it got a bad reputation!

The next day, as soon as the U.S. stock market opened, Lehman Brothers' stock price plummeted, from more than 30 US dollars to more than 20 US dollars, and its market value shrank by billions of dollars.

Although U.S. stocks have rebounded, they are still in a state of decline.

A bit of bad news or disturbance may lead to a stampede.

That's how Bear Stearns failed. It died from a liquidity crisis caused by market distrust.

Einhorn did not perform a one-man show this time. The CFO of Lehman Brothers accompanied him in the performance, and the impact was greater than his previous efforts in the past few months.

In the conference room, Xia Jingxing turned his chair and looked at the Lehman Brothers stock K-line chart projected on the wall behind him. He pointed with the pen in his hand and said: "Einhorn is still very powerful. One recording directly killed Lehman Brothers." One-third of the market capitalization.

It's just a pity that the stock price did not reach single digits at once. "

Abel smiled and answered: "This is just the beginning! The real show hasn't started yet!

In half a month, Lehman will release its second-quarter financial report.

Now everyone still has the last trace of trust in this investment bank that has been in existence for 158 years. When the second quarter financial report is released, I am afraid that this last trace of trust will be gone.

What awaits Lehman may be a more violent abandonment than Bear Stearns! "

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly. After all, it is a century-old store. Just like the US stock market, it is understandable that it has a tenacious vitality.

Anyway, the cannon has been set up by that guy Einhorn, and it is only a matter of time before Lehman is bombarded.

Liu Hai said with a smile: "I heard the news that Blackstone and AIG gave up buying shares in Lehman Brothers! It is said that the price of the shares was not agreed upon.

Einhorn's move directly wiped out several months of Fuld's hard work.

If I were Fuld, I might break this kid's heart with a gun. "

Xia Jingxing said calmly: "Einhorn is just an unexpected factor!

Now that the stock price fluctuates so much, as long as Fuld is willing to cut his own teeth and understand the trade-offs, he can lower the price and accept the investment conditions of Blackstone and AIG. "

Liu Hai said happily: "But he did not choose to do this. He is constantly pushing himself and this century-old investment bank into the abyss."

Xia Jingxing said lightly: "This is Fuld's stubbornness. First he refused Buffett, who bought shares at $40, and then rejected Blackstone and AIG, who bought shares at $28, while Lehman's stock price is now only over $20.

Keep reading, I guess Fuld has more exciting operations. "

Abel and Liu Hai both laughed. No matter how you say it, Fuld is a well-known boss on Wall Street, but what he does is not like a boss at all. He is a bit like a retail investor who is trapped and reluctant to cut his flesh. He can only watch the neck. The rope is getting tighter and tighter.

Xia Jingxing looked through the window and glanced at Shen Xinyi who was recording songs in the studio with headphones on. He said to Gao Lili, who was also looking in with her arms folded: "The company is about to be sold, what songs are there to record? I can't bear to leave." ?"

Gao Lili sighed and said sadly: "She will return to China to develop in the future. She wants to say goodbye to the past."

Xia Jingxing said "Oh" and said no more. His eyes returned to the beautiful figure in the recording studio.

After a while, Shen Xinyi pushed the door open and came out. When she saw Xia Jingxing, her eyes lit up and she wanted to rush up and hug him. But as soon as she opened her arms, she noticed Gao Lili next to her, and her hand movements suddenly froze.

"Hug me if you want, just pretend I don't exist."

Gao Lili turned her body away, then turned her head and glanced at it with her peripheral vision.

Hey, I chewed them all!

She wisely left the room and closed the door gently.

Looking at Shen Xinyi, whose face turned red due to lack of oxygen, Xia Jingxing touched her head and said, "You are still as stupid as before. You hold your breath when we kiss. I hold it back every time, for fear that you will betray me." Get over it."

Shen Xinyi blocked Xia Jingxing's hand, smoothed her messy hair, and said: "Jing Xing, the industry has heard that Lilith is for sale. Many media giants have expressed their intention to acquire it. Among them, Disney has the highest bid, selling to Will they affect you?"

"No, just decide."

Xia Jingxing thought for a while and then added: "If you are reluctant, just keep Lilith and I will help you find some professional managers to take care of it."

Shen Xinyi immediately shook her head and said firmly, "No, everyone has returned to China, there is no need to keep them, and..."

"And what?"

"And I want to take this money and be your partner!"

If Xia Jingxing realized something, he smiled and said: "Okay, then this time we will seriously start a business and work together to create a listed company."

"We have been serious about starting a business, okay? On the contrary, you, the big boss, often don't see each other for several months."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Aren't I busy with work? I just acquired Marvel some time ago..."

The two chatted and walked out of the recording studio. They saw Gao Lili standing in the corridor chatting with a sissy and a black guy. The two walked over slowly.

"Darren, you are getting more and more stylish!" Sissy Abra was still posing as before, which made Xia Jingxing frown and reluctantly shook hands with him.

Rapper Xiaohei Brian bumped fists with Xia Jingxing with a smile on his face.

This little black man is not bad, and he has traveled a wide path. He has composed many rap songs for Xia Jingxing, and praised Xia Jingxing so much that he was unparalleled in heaven and earth.

Xia Jingxing took a closer look at Xiao Hei's figure. He could become Wakanda's heir with some exercise.

Of course, he only recommended auditioning. Whether he can seize the opportunity depends on the other party.

The next day.

Xia Jingxing followed Gao Lili and Shen Xinyi to a nearby hotel, where he met Disney's acquisition negotiation team.

Seeing Xia Jingxing appear, Disney CEO Robert Iger, who was leading the team, immediately strode up to greet him and held out his hand with a smile on his face, "Dylan, long time no see!"

Xia Jingxing naturally knew Iger. He had jointly established Hulu Video with him and the CEOs of the other four major film companies.

Iger, who is a TV host, has a very elegant temperament and is very approachable in his speech.

However, Zhiguo, who serves as a director, and Disney, who serves as CEO, have had conflicts with Fuxing Mobile and Vision Capital.

Xia Jingxing didn't think that the other party had no grudges about this.

Thinking about today's negotiations, Xia Jingxing was already prepared for the worst.

However, the superficial demeanor still needs to be maintained. Xia Jingxing immediately stretched out his hand to shake the other person's hand, with the same smile on his face, "Mr. Egg, I'm glad to see you. For such a small deal like Lilith, why bother you to personally handle it?" I was very surprised.”

Iger responded quickly and immediately replied: "Darren, don't get me wrong, Disney still maintains a good cooperative relationship with YouTube and you.

The successful acquisition of Marvel also shows that you have more vision. As a friend, I am sincerely happy for you. "

Xia Jingxing smiled. So, am I being petty? I do not believe.

Shen Xinyi and Gao Lili shook hands with Iger respectively, and then the two teams entered the hotel conference room together.
