Chapter 353 Please enter the urn
Hearing Song Yang's words, Kravis couldn't help but feel agitated. If Song Yang didn't do anything, it would make Kravis feel disappointed.
Double-click inside the New York company, and behind him is the Empire State Building. Every time he comes here, Song Yang can't help but think of some old people.
Song Yang heard some rumors. Clifford Chance's legal team got news from the New York court. Ella Cherry, who hadn't given up yet, wanted to find Bledsoe Jayden, who had left Double-Click. He came to court to accuse DoubleClick and Song Yang.
But now the figure of Bledsoe Jaden is nowhere to be found at all. Even if Ella Cherry finds Bledsoe Jaden, it will have little effect on the overall situation, but after all, he is a disgusting person, and Gallo is also sending The bounty hunter of the Blackwater Company is looking for Jayden to prevent him from being disgusting.
Shaking his head, Song Yang put these things behind him, and looked at Kravis in front of him, "Double-click has encountered troubles since its listing, some troubles have been resolved, and some still exist!"
"President Kravis, I want to solve the trouble of double-clicking!"
Kravis's eyes flickered a few times, he could hear Song Yang's overtones, and he was naturally well-informed on Wall Street, "It's those people from Creamer?!"
Song Yang nodded, "There is an old proverb in the East that coming and going is not indecent. Creamer and the others "sent" a gift from the Double-Click company and kept shorting Double-Click's stock price. Then Double-Click should also "return" to Creamer and the others. Just a big gift."
Kravis didn't expect that when he saw Song Yang, he heard Song Yang mention this. This Wall Street veteran was shocked for a while, "Song, what do you want?!"
Glancing at the time, Song Yang said, "President Edison of Deutsche Bank Investment Bank should be here soon, and I need the support of President Kravis."
"I want KKR Group to help Double-click Company to complete a hunt!"
Anshu Jain and Edison sat in a car and rushed towards the office building of Double-Click Company in New York.
In the car, Edison was resting with his eyes closed, and asked Anshu Jain, "Double-click the company, did you explain what it is?"
Anshu Jain shook his head, and said to Addison, "Double-click's co-president, Whitman just invited you to come, and said that Bruno Song will also be present."
Hearing that Song Yang was also present, Edison closed his eyes and meditated, and couldn't help but frown. If he just double-clicked the company, then naturally Edison couldn't be there in person, but adding Song Yang would be different.
Even Deutsche Bank Investment Bank can't ignore the Internet upstarts in Silicon Valley, let alone Song Yang who just had a tough fight with the Trade Commission.
Deutsche Bank is still thinking about the 5% stake in ICQ. Before Deutsche Bank Investment Bank just asked for the investment rights incidentally, it only wanted to put a **** in the Internet industry, but who would have thought that the Internet would be so hot this level.
ICQ is even more like eating soap bubbles, and it blows up directly. From the initial valuation of 6 billion dollars when it raised 300 million dollars, it has now soared to 7 billion dollars. Among them, ICQ and NBC were established. The ICNC TV station, which started broadcasting, is valued at more than 700 million US dollars, and the bubble of the entire ICQ is so big!
The point is, Wall Street is still following this pattern. There are not a few people advocating the listing of ICQ. Once ICQ is listed, its market value will directly surpass that of Netscape, becoming the number one Internet concept stock, and directly becoming the leader in the Internet industry in Silicon Valley. big brother.
Deutsche Bank Investment Bank has a 5% investment right in ICQ. Even if it doesn't take advantage, in theory, as long as ICQ goes public, Deutsche Bank Investment Bank can make a lot of money.
In addition, Edison of Deutsche Bank Investment Bank and Paulson of Goldman Sachs are most concerned about why this time, why does the party support Double-click Company so much? Like Paulson, Edison instinctively feels It is clear that there must be a transaction behind this.
Although it hasn't been found out yet, Deutsche Bank Investment Bank has also received some news. They know that Song Yang is going to play some showy operations, otherwise he won't let Xiangdang and the congressmen and state councilors work so hard to defend him. If possible, Deutsche Bank Investment Bank will definitely get involved!
"I think it should have something to do with the recent stock price of Double-click Company. Some hedge funds have been shorting Double-click Company during this period!" Anshu Jain said to his boss.
Originally closed his eyes and meditated, Edison suddenly became interested when he heard this. Compared with investment companies and the like, he is still more interested in futures trading, foreign exchange, commodities and derivatives, and of course shorting the global stock market. After all, if you are long, you have to use the dollar knife to pull up, and if you are short, you can harvest a large wave of **** steamed buns, and the harvest can be completed in one day...
"President Edison!"
Double-click the meeting room, Song Yang, Whitman, Marcus, KKR Group's Kravis and others, plus Edison and Anshu Jain, all of them have arrived today.
"Song!"
"Kravis!"
Edison still had that rebellious look on his face, but when facing the veteran Kravis, he still gave him the respect he deserved.
Still in that straightforward style, without any nonsense, Edison looked at the crowd in the office, "I think there must be something to do today?!"
Kravis, who already knew what Song Yang was going to do, had recovered from the shock when he heard Song Yang's plan just now, but at this time his expression was still full of excitement. He didn't expect that Song Yang would actually Ready to play that big.
"Double-clicking the company will solve the problem of the stock price being shorted." Kravis said at this time.
Anshu Jain asked at this time, "Pull up the stock price?!"
Song Yang shook his head, "Not only that, but also get rid of those hedge funds that are shorting the Double-click Company!"
Anshu Jain, who heard the meaning of Song Yang's words, couldn't help opening his mouth. He guessed what Song Yang meant, and that this was going to have a big fight with those short sellers on Wall Street.
Edison was completely interested. If he double-clicked on the company and just came to Deutsche Bank to borrow a dollar, buy it back, and boost the stock price, then Edison might not be very interested. Now that I hear it, Song Yang This was about to have a fight with Creamer's group of short-selling hedge funds, and Edison began to be interested.
Falcon-like eyes swept over Song Yang, and then towards Kravis, Whitman and others. If other people said this, Edison would not believe it at all, but Song Yang said, Edison believed it a little bit, the performance of Double-click Company this year is enough to show Song Yang's character, and he never relents at critical moments!
"Song, what do you want to do?" Edison thought for a while, "Deutsche Bank Investment Bank can provide funds for Double-click!"
Edison's words have already expressed his attitude. He is interested in joining the hunt for short-selling hedge funds such as Creamer.
Hearing Edison's words, Song Yang nodded to Kravis who was beside him. This time, the double-click company's trader must still be handed over to Kravis, who is old in the world.
Even though his glorious period has passed, Kravis still has the most experience. With him joining hands with Deutsche Bank Investment Bank, Song Yang can rest assured. Otherwise, it will all be handed over to Edison. Song Yang is really afraid of him. I also sold the double-click for a few dollars.
Edison is absolutely capable of doing such a thing. To behave with the Wall Street group, it is purely a mouse greeting a cat and delivering food to the door. In order to cut leeks, Wall Street can turn the crude oil futures index into a negative value. Yes, what else can't be played...
"Double-click company will announce the launch of repurchases in the near future, and the repurchase will start to increase the stock price. It is expected that the double-click company's stock price will be raised to around $15 to $20 in the early stage, allowing Creamer and others to continue Follow up and go short!"
If you want to take it first, you must give it first. The current double-click company's stock price is jumping between four dollars and six dollars. If it weren't for Creamer's gang, they were desperately trying to squeeze the wool, and even threatened to do nothing until they quit. The market price is less than US$1, otherwise there is not much room for short selling.
In order to allow Creamer and his gang to enter the market better, Song Yang and Kravis are going to play "please enter the urn", and first raise the stock price by a part, so that Creamer and his gang have room to short. The wolf will lose its mind when it sees meat to eat. An excellent hunter even throws a piece of meat when hunting. Song Yang can't be stingy here, he must let Creamer and the others taste the sweetness!
Thinking that what is going to be traded may shake the entire Wall Street, or even the global investment industry, Kravis, who is old in the world, can't help being a little excited.
"Now the double-click stock has not yet passed the lifting period. This has advantages and disadvantages for both us and Creamer. It means that only a part of the dollar is needed to affect the double-click stock price!"
Kravis said, "Double-click's circulating shares are now around 20%. Song, WPP Group, Yahoo, Whitman, Ryan and other Double-click company executives have not sold their stocks, so this time we have to do Yes, KKR Group and Deutsche Bank Investment Bank will buy the 20% double-click stock at all costs, and then..."
Kravis clasped his fist and slammed it **** the table. Edison and Kravis said in unison, "Pull up the stock price!"
When Kravis said this, Edison didn't know how to play, so he looked down on him a little too much. After hearing this plan, Edison's eyes were full of excitement. Anshu, who was familiar with Edison, Jain knew that his boss was completely excited.
Edison asked Song Yang about the current shareholding of Double-click Company. After Double-click went public, in order to "comply with the rules", the shareholding has also become very scattered. Now Song Yang directly holds the double-click company's equity, all of which are invested by American Global Foundation management, around 35%.
For the rest, WPP Group holds 18% of the double-click equity, Yahoo holds 9%, the Bruno Family Foundation, Whitman, and Ryan each hold 5%, and the rest are 3% for Greck and 1% for Irene. %.
Double-click shares account for about 20% of the shares that are actually in circulation, about 30 million shares, or even less, and a considerable part of them are held in the hands of several major Wall Street institutions.
"In the early stage, more than 300 million U.S. dollars needs to be invested. In the later stage, the stock price needs to be raised, and more funds may be needed for backup. If the entire plan is fully completed, the funds that may be needed are around 700 to 1 billion U.S. dollars. Double-click, KKR The Group and the Deutsche Bank Investment Bank jointly contributed!" Kravis said to Edison.
