The business plane landed at Houston Airport, and there were two cars waiting there. After getting off the plane, Song Yang sent Dana, Logan, and Millia to one car, took them to Houston's residence, and took another A car drove towards the city.
When he came back this time, Song Yang didn't alarm anyone, and there was no media report.
Actually, the media didn't pay attention to Song Yang's side at all. They were all reporting on Double-Click's lawsuit. There had been rumors before, but this time the court was really going to be held.
Ella Cherry, Edward Winslow and others, this time used a lot of media from the donkey party, and began to continuously advocate the public opinion of double-clicking the "crisis". Any lawsuit must be lost, the first Internet anti-monopoly case, Speeches such as the delisting crisis began to be reported continuously.
This made the trial this time began to attract more and more attention. Some media even began to play the appalling title of "Trial of the Century" to attract attention.
On the streets of Houston, Song Yang looked at the reports in the newspapers, and threw them aside, double-clicking. If this is the trial of the century, it won't be long, and Microsoft's lawsuit is nothing.
This time, Ella Cherry obviously wanted to engage in public opinion and put pressure on Song Yang. She also intended to use public opinion to put pressure on the courts of Tennessee and New York, in order to influence the outcome of the trial!
But this stinging method is indeed effective. Double-click the company's stock price after the opening of Nasdaq today, it plummeted, and it began to weave the electrocardiogram again, jumping repeatedly at the issue price of four dollars.
Those short-selling institutions have obviously figured out the routine of Double-click. They know that Song Yang has signed repurchase agreements with Wall Street institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank. Once the price falls below the issue price, Song Yang will start buying back Double-click shares. .
Short-selling institutions aimed at this point, caught Double-Click Company and began to pick up wool, and began to place empty orders on Double-Click Company.
For these short-selling institutions, when Song Yang frees up his hands, he must prepare a big gift package for them, just like Youziyi Station, Porsche and Volkswagen, for those short-selling institutions, hedge funds, and the entire Wall Street short-sellers Organizations are taught a lesson!
Since its listing this year, Double-click has been short-sold more than once or twice. Song Yang's plundered wool has exceeded tens of millions of dollars, not to mention small investors and leeks that have been cut off.
Putting those newspapers aside, Song Yang closed his eyes and rested his mind for a moment. The outstanding shares of the Double-click company are not large.
"This is a company that may be delisted at any time, and I don't see any hope!"
Crimer, the manager of a hedge fund on Wall Street, is facing the media camera. Creamer is just 30 years old this year, but he has already become famous on Wall Street.
The hedge fund in charge of Creamer mainly focuses on short selling, and acts aggressively and aggressively. After eyeing a company, it will be like a hyena, tearing up the other party by any means, and plundering dollars from the other party!
Creamer is also very sharp in publishing analysis reports on short-selling companies. In order to short-sell a company, Creamer does not hesitate to use various means, including hiring private detectives to follow the executives of the other company, looking for scandals, and even throwing away trash cans However, there are various other means that are allowed or not allowed.
Although it is disliked by many companies and even sued, the hedge fund managed by Creamer has a very high success rate by various means, and has attracted a group of followers. It is also believed that it may become the next vulture on Wall Street!
Now, it is Double-Click that is being targeted by Creamer, and he has made no secret that the hedge fund he manages is shorting Double-Click.
After the news that Double-click was sued and the trial came out, a group of short-selling institutions headed by Creamer began to increase their bargaining chips to short Double-click. Fight back.
Today, when Creamer was interviewed by the media, he was going to launch a short-selling battle against Double-Click. The hedge fund in his hand had also placed a large number of short orders against Double-Click. Creamer wanted to use this opportunity to attract more investors. Short-selling institutions enter the market and destroy the "Maginot Line of Defense" that double-clicks the company's four dollars!
"Double-click company is facing the risk of delisting. Once delisted, all investors will get nothing!
I think what we are doing is to enable the management of Double-click Company headed by Bruno Song to make changes to Double-click. He cannot use his personal will to cause all investors to suffer losses. There are two paths, one is to end the **** lawsuit immediately, and the other is to sell Double-Click and let someone more suitable take it over! "
Facing the camera, Creamer pretended to be worried about Double-click, and spoke to Song Yang, threatening that he shorted Double-click for the benefit of all investors in Double-click and forced Song Yang to make changes.
Not only Chris Mo, but James Chanos, who is still a "rookie" on Wall Street, is also shorting the double-click company.
This future Wall Street short-seller, who made his fortune by shorting Enron, has just started his own business. I don't know if it's a horoscope. Chanos, who has not shorted Enron, is now shorting Nasdaq's Internet stocks everywhere. .
His Knicks Joint Fund started shorting Internet companies four years ago, and caught up with the explosion of the Internet wave. Now the Knicks Joint Fund has lost 75%, and now he has also begun to short Double-Click.
Another investment company in New York watched the negative news of Double-Click Company constantly reported on TV, and Creamer, James Chanos and others shorted Double-Click Company. Just now, he was caught in the situation before him. Seeing these reports and news, Christian Barnard couldn't help laughing.
After laughing for a long time, Christian Barnard finally managed to stop laughing, and the depression in his heart was swept away.
Two years ago, Christian Barnard appeared on a television program and debated with Tristan whether the Internet was a scam. However, with the appearance of Song Yang, the Internet advertising model proposed completely set off the Internet. The frenzy made Christian Barnard very embarrassed, and the TV station was not very willing to invite him to be a program.
Those investors who listened to Christian Barnard's point of view could only watch the Internet stocks go up ridiculously day by day. , but now he is an "Internet authority" that major TV stations in America are vying to invite.
Not only was it a loss of face, when America Telecom entered Wall Street, Christian Barnard's investment company was also one of the futures investment companies that were cut off from leeks, and had to buy America Telecom's broadband seat usage fee at a high price.
Seeing the double-click company under Song Yang, which belongs to the "Narrow Encounter Road", is now in a predicament, Christian Barnard suddenly felt a sense of revenge. After two or three years of frustration, he was finally able to look up to the sky Let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the news media in New York and Wall Street financial reports, all reporting negative news about DoubleClick, Christian Barnard couldn't help but feel a little bit moved, feeling that now seems to be the best time to short DoubleClick.
As Creamer said, the current Double-click company is full of negative news, and even faces the risk of huge fines and delisting at any time. It seems unreasonable not to short Double-click company.
Being able to gain a firm foothold on Wall Street, Christian Barnard's investment style tends to be conservative, and he is keen on investing in banks, aviation, insurance, etc., but his basic investment vision is naturally not bad.
Christian Barnard read Double-Click's various performances. If there were no negative news, it would certainly be a "worthy" investment company. Backed by WPP Group, a giant in the advertising industry, its revenue has exploded.
Constantly acquires and invests in new companies, including MediaMetrix and NetRating, two major Internet research companies. Double-click has become the largest Internet research company in America, and even rumored to acquire Nielsen, becoming a leader in the global research market.
Double-click also acquired Alexa, and began to rank global Internet companies.
Mastering the Internet advertising market, with Alexa's website ranking, coupled with market research, Double-click is behind the scenes of the Internet, but its tentacles are constantly extending!
Even Christian Barnard, who responds to Song Yang, has to admit that Double-click is indeed one of the best companies on the Internet.
But now these are all ignored by the outside world. Whether it will be fined for bankruptcy, whether it will be delisted, or even split, has become the focus of everyone's attention.
After hesitating for a while, it was ultimately a one-vote idea. In Christian Barnard's mind, he had the upper hand. Whether to bet on Double-Click Company to overcome this hurdle, or to cut flesh from Double-Click Company, Christian Barnard Nader chose the latter!
Picking up the phone, Christian Barnard called the investment department, "Place a short order on Double-Click!"
The car shuttled through the streets of Houston, and finally stopped in front of a golf club.
Since Adrian became the helm of Houston, the golf club he used to frequent has also become crowded, and it has become a place where Houston celebrities rush to come, and many people come to this golf club for gatherings Partying is a status symbol.
After arriving at the golf club, Song Yang's vehicle drove all the way to the inner court. There were only a few figures on the huge golf course, and it was obviously not open to the public today.
"Song!"
It was Adrian's chief aide Matthews who opened the door for Song Yang. The unsmiling Matthews still squeezed a smile on his face when he saw Song Yang. The employer he followed has changed his status in the past two years However, earth-shaking changes have taken place. From a district councilor to the speaker of Xiu Village, the change is not small, but the identity of Song Yang in front of him has changed even more.
Of course, Matthews can guess what is the so-called reason for Song Yang's return to Houston this time, but even if the public opinion seems to be unfavorable to Song Yang, Matthews and Adrian still dare not be negligent, because of Song Yang's identity , in addition to the Internet upstart, there is a new layer of identity, the sponsor of the media TV station!
