Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 96 Goldman Sachs Shot

…

After sending Eric Schmidt and Cadiz Bell away. Guo Shouyun returned to his study. Turn on the computer and continue to write, but just after writing a few lines, he frowned, and a look of thought appeared on his face. After a while, he stood up, opened the safe next to him, and took out a stack of manuscripts that he had written a long time ago.

This is a novel that Guo Shouyun began to write at the beginning of his time-travel and was due in May. Originally, I planned to bring it to Christopher when I went to meet him in England, but it was a little short of the ending. In addition, the knowledge reserve of the novel itself was too high, and it belonged to two extremes compared with the one published in the same period. In order to avoid possible pressure from public opinion and Suspiciously, Guo Shouyun locked it in the safe along with the manuscript.

The original plan was to publish it in 2001, after the author's name became more famous and more widely accepted by the public. But now it seems that this process has to be brought forward. Because, if he wants to make a difference in the field of SOC chips, he must invest a lot of money.

Moreover, the expansion of the theater chain of Matrix Films and the next development of LinkedIn will require funds. Relying on , , , issued a second ABS asset-backed securities is a bit too thin. Although it is a popular TV series, the results after it was adapted into a novel are unknown. Only, this classic, which sold 7.5 million copies in 11 weeks, broke the single-book sales record of American novels, sold 80 million copies in 7 years, and ranked fifth in the world's best-selling novels, can give Guo Shouyun what he wants. huge sums of money needed.

"Two volumes,, plus this one, I can sell as many copies as I can write before the end of the year! It should be almost the same after all!"

Thinking of this, Guo Shouyun picked up the phone on the table, "Wendy, come in!"

"boss!"

Looking at the blonde beauty who pushed in the door, Guo Shouyun handed over the manuscript in his hand.

"Send it to Christopher and let him publish it as soon as possible! Tell him that LinkedIn and Google will cooperate with the new book promotion."

Although Guo Shouyun rarely promotes his work through TV shows, LinkedIn and Google are two big platforms with tens of millions of audiences. Their promotion is absolutely no less than that of ABS, NBC, these super TV networks.

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Wendy Solo took a look at the manuscript, turned around and walked out quickly.

After closing the door, Guo Shouyun was about to continue writing when his phone suddenly rang.

"Boss, Goldman Sachs has done it!"

William Zhang's words instantly made Guo Shouyun's spirit highly concentrated.

"How much has Goldman invested in?"

"$500 million, 10 times leverage!" William Zhang's tone was full of excitement.

As the five most watched investment banks on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs will definitely lead the blockbusters to follow.

Enron is in trouble!

"Great! It's Goldman Sachs, there's no taboo!"

Guo Shouyun's tone was filled with indescribable excitement and emotion. Since meeting Jeffrey Jilin, most of the pressure accumulated in his heart instantly disappeared in front of this good news.

"... Now An Ran is afraid that he won't have time to pay attention to us!"

"Hehe, Enron's stock price has fallen to $81.3, and Goldman's short selling has directly wiped out nearly $2 billion of its market value. Now the entire management of Enron is busy doing crisis public relations, how can they take care of us!" William Zhang smiled.

Guo Shouyun nodded in agreement. Goldman Sachs is not a Phoenix. Phoenix is ​​short, and although a lot of money has been invested, more institutions and hot money on Wall Street are watching. But Goldman Sachs short, can definitely set off a wave. This is the industry influence of big companies, and it is what Guo Shouyun is most eager to obtain, but unfortunately Phoenix is ​​far from Goldman Sachs' century-old heritage.

"By the way, how is the other thing I told you to do?"

"$160 million has been fully invested, and the current leverage ratio is 3.4! Hold 24.52 million shares of Goldman Sachs, which is close to 8% of Goldman's market value!"

160 million is two-thirds of the total gross profit of Thorns Bird from its establishment to mid-September, all of which were used by Guo Shouyun to sell securities to buy Goldman Sachs. Because he is very clear that shorting Enron can definitely make Goldman Sachs a big profit, and its stock price will be high at that time. In addition, going long doesn't offend people like going short, so take this opportunity to let Phoenix make a fortune again. The only pity is that Guo Shouyun did not use high leverage in order not to worry Christopher Ritter too much.

"Yes, Goldman Sachs will maintain the current situation, and don't increase the leverage!"

"Understood! However, do you want to continue shorting An Ran?"

"no need!"

After thinking about it, Guo Shouyun shook his head, "We have already eaten the fattest piece of meat, and the rest will be left to others. Otherwise, we will be attacked by groups if we eat alone. We can't afford too much now. hostility!"

Although he wanted to continue betting, he was helpless now that he was still fledgling, and being too early could only cause trouble for himself. Fortunately, Phoenix is ​​already shorting Enron, and the capital leveraged has exceeded 3 billion US dollars, second only to Goldman Sachs. Coupled with the fact that he entered the market when Enron's stock price was at its highest, he might not have earned less than Goldman Sachs. So, he should be satisfied.

William Zhang certainly understood Guo Shouyun's concerns. In fact, he still admires his young boss's long-term vision and calm overall view that he can give up his immediate interests.

"The boss is wise!"

After accepting William Zhang's praise with peace of mind, "I will use all the funds I will give Phoenix in the future to acquire the shares of four companies!"

"Four companies?"

"Amazon, eaby, apple and RIM Canada!"

Needless to say, Amazon, eaby, and Apple are all Internet and technology giants with unlimited potential. Canadian RIM company is the predecessor of the famous BlackBerry. Before the Apple iPhone was born, BlackBerry has always been the leader in the US mobile phone industry. At its peak, it was no less than Enron today. Also, 9/11 is less than a year away, and 9/11 was the moment when BlackBerry sales exploded, so now is the best chance to get in.

"Boss, are you sure you want to invest now? Internet and technology stocks are not doing well right now."

Of course, Guo Shouyun knows that now is not a good time. No matter Amazon or Apple, it really fell to the bottom after 9/11, so the best time to buy the bottom is 2002 rather than now. But Guo Shouyun understands better that smart people are not alone. Others will come in when you are bargain hunters. Under the competition, you may not be able to get the equity you want.

Therefore, when others are watching, preempting the action has become his best choice at the moment. Of course, within two years, he will suffer certain financial losses because of these shares, but compared with the stock performance of these companies in the future, the current losses are not worth mentioning. Moreover, now that most of the downtrend caused by the Nasdaq crisis has passed, even if Amazon and Google will fall, they will not fall too much, and they are still within his tolerance.

"I'm sure that the funds I allocated to you are all used to invest in the stocks of the four companies, but don't put these shares in Lei Ting, but invest in the name of the 'Storm Asset Management Plan'."

In Guo Shouyun's plan, the investment projects of the Leiting Asset Management Plan are speculative in nature, with high leverage, high risk, and even ultra-high risk. The Baofeng asset management plan is relatively investment in nature, with medium risk or high risk, which is within an acceptable range.

The reason for this setting is to facilitate the attraction of foreign capital. Also reassure Christopher Ritter. After all, Guo Shouyun's shares in Thorn Bird Publishing Company are only 55%, and there is no way to monopolize the power like he does in Matrix.

In addition, after Google and LinkedIn are listed and profitable, he will hand over the company's surplus funds to Phoenix management, and he will not be criticized too much by the board of directors.

"clear!"

"I'm fine. You are keeping an eye on Enron and Goldman Sachs, as well as the trend of Wall Street. If there is any trouble, you must notify me as soon as possible."

After a careful explanation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Guo Shouyun hung up the phone. He stood for a while in the study with his mobile phone in his hand, and after a moment of hesitation, he took out a document from the safe.

The document begins with: 'Enron, brilliance or financial scandal? ’. The most detailed black material about Enron that Guo Shouyun has been collecting so far will definitely bring a heavy blow to its stock price once it is exposed.

"not the right time yet!"

After thinking about it, Guo Shouyun slowly shook his head.

Although An Ran is in a hurry now, before the building is about to collapse, rashly taking action will only make the mud-footed giant re-target himself. In this way, he did not hesitate to give up more profit opportunities, and disclosed some of the Enron information collected at a high cost to Goldman Sachs, so that the other party's efforts to share the risks for him were in vain.

"Oh, it's still too much!"

Compared with Goldman Sachs, one of the top five investment banks on Wall Street, with a profound political background and almost no taboos, Guo Shouyun has to be careful every step of the way. But this is also something that can't be helped, who calls him a shallow foundation!

After repacking the materials, Guo Shouyun wrote a meeting and drove to LinkedIn's office area in the afternoon. With the growth of the business, LinkedIn's office area has occupied two floors in the Hills Building, and the official staff has exceeded 500. In Silicon Valley, it is already a big company.

Of course, it's not just the growth of personnel. In addition to professional networking, LinkedIn's blogs and forums are also booming. The number of registered members has grown rapidly and has basically entered the top five in the industry.
