Chapter 351 The person who needs to tie the bell to untie the bell

  Whitman looked at Song Yang. Since he joined the Double-click company, his life has been much more exciting than Whitman's career in the first ten years or so.

Sending an Internet company that has only been established for 13 months to go public, hard-pressing the Trade Commission, the Federal Judiciary and other departments, and now they are going to clean up the short-selling institutions on Wall Street. Whitman doesn't know what he will experience in the double-click co-president position. But Whitman feels that when she retires, a memoir will reveal some secrets, and it will definitely be on the bestseller list of the New York Times...

  Song Yang looked at the buildings outside the glass window. The New York company of the double-click company is located opposite the Empire State Building. The surrounding office buildings are basically Wall Street institutions, as well as offices of large companies from all over the world.

  Seeing the signboards and LOGOs of those Wall Street institutions, Song Yang couldn't help but smile, and looked at Whitman, "You have to tie the bell to untie it!"

  Whitman looked at Song Yang blankly, not knowing what he meant.

   "People on Wall Street know Wall Street best," Song Yang stood up and looked out the window, "Most of the money made by Creamer's hedge funds comes from Wall Street, right?"

   "Then double-click, also "borrow money" from Wall Street!"

Whether it is Creamer's hedge fund or other short-selling institutions on Wall Street, they may raise part of the funds themselves, but most of the other funds must be borrowed from Wall Street banks and large institutions. Otherwise, how could they get so much money? The US knife is short.

  Using his own way to deal with his own body, Creamer can do it, but Double-Click can't do it?

   "Double-click the company, now contact KKR Group and Kravis, and contact Deutsche Bank, I think Edison should be very interested in this matter!" Song Yang said with a smile.

KKR Group is the current investment consultant of American Telecom, helping American Telecom to acquire other companies. It cheated AOL before, acquired CompuServe, and then sold it to AOL. Kravis, the president of the group, is in charge of American Telecom.

  The savage at the gate of Wall Street is still growing old and strong. Double-click needs the support of Kravis and KKR Group this time.

But the main funds are estimated to need to be resolved by Edison, the president of the Deutsche Bank Investment Bank in America. This Wall Street madman is also acting decisively and fiercely. Whitman can imagine that once Kravis and Edison both If people join in, then this time, double-clicking the company will definitely not make a small fuss, maybe it will set off an event that shakes the entire Wall Street.

   "Song, if you really take action against those short-selling hedge funds and institutions this time, then Double-Click will probably always have rivals on Wall Street!"

Whitman reminded Song Yang that if he starts a war with those short-selling institutions this time and causes them to bleed heavily, then this problem will be settled. There will be those who jump out and add insult to injury.

   "If Double-Click doesn't make a move, Creamer, James Chanos and the others will let Double-Click go?!" Song Yang looked directly at Whitman.

  Whitman was silent for a moment, knowing that this time was unavoidable. Creamer and his gang were aggressive, and Song Yang was not willing to give in. This encounter might lead to a spark hitting the earth!

  In Song Yang, when he was about to free up his hands and join forces with KKR Group and Deutsche Bank Investment Bank to deal with Creamer and his gang, Creamer was not idle, and was also looking for "helpers".

Wearing a brand-name suit and wearing a luxury diamond watch, when he came to the office building on the 47th floor of the General Building in Manhattan, from entering Wall Street to becoming a teacher and establishing his own hedge fund, he never felt that he was short of money. , once again felt that his worth is far from enough...

The office that Creamer came to is like the drawing room of a British nobleman. It is decorated with portraits of European nobles on the walls, and there are many antiques from all over the world on display. One of them particularly caught the attention of Creamer. It is A masterpiece by French master Camille Corot.

  If you were an artist, you would have to curse when you came here. The collectors here don't understand art at all. Putting so many things together, they don't have any artistic style.

But when Creamer or people from Wall Street come here, they only have one feeling, that is, the person who owns this office is worth far more than everyone else. If there is no worth, how can they use so many famous paintings and antiques to decorate this office? office!

   While Creamer was admiring these famous paintings, a figure walked over and said to Creamer, "Mr. Creamer, Director Carl Icahn, please go in!"

  The person Creamer wants to meet today is Carl Icahn, the "Wolf of Wall Street" who has made companies in America fearful since the 1980s.

  Starting from Philips Petroleum ten years ago, the companies that Carl Icahn has tossed about for so many years, including Trans World Airlines, Texaco Petroleum and many other well-known companies, have all been cleaned up by Carl Icahn.

   This time, Creamer wanted to invite the Wolf of Wall Street to help him win the war against Double-Click.

What Carl Icahn likes to do most is to buy bottoms. He buys a company at a low price when it is at its lowest point or even goes bankrupt, and then sells it at a high price after packaging. Blackstone Investment Group has learned the essence of this. Of course, sometimes, Carl Icahn Icahn will inevitably use special means to forcibly short a company, cut the stock price to a discount, and then rush in to buy it.

As for other hostile takeovers, let's not mention it. On the contrary, ordinary investors in America are willing to follow Carl Icahn and regard him as the leading brother, because following him has meat to eat, and Carl Icahn invests The share price of American companies can increase significantly in the short term.

Sometimes Carl Icahn will ask to join the board of directors, and then start to "sell, sell, sell" the assets of a company, sell all the assets of a company, pay a large amount of dividends, and then raise the stock price. Sell ​​it, and finally leave a lot of chicken feathers to pat the **** and leave. Carl Icahn doesn't care if it leaves a mess, anyway, he has done it with a good knife.

Creamer hadn't thought of looking for Carl Icahn, the hungry wolf, but the first day of the double-click company's trial made Double-click faintly feel that he had stepped out of the quagmire. This made Creamer a little worried, but he was not reconciled to it Stop and leave, so I found Carl Icahn to ask for help. Creamer wanted to double-click the short and make it his famous battle!

  Perhaps Internet company killer is also a good name, Creamer thought.

   Sitting in an office full of artwork and luxury goods, was an ordinary old man in his sixties. When Creamer entered, the old man was talking on the phone with someone.

   "I'm going to tell you, Sandor, you screwed up!"

   Carl Icahn raised his head, his eyes were like knives, sharply scraping on Creamer's body, making Creamer lower his head unconsciously, showing his favor to Carl Icahn.

   "You're running a great company, but now you've messed it up. I told you, my terms. Now is the time to think about it, Sandor!"

  Hearing Sandor's name, Creamer filtered it in his mind, and suddenly remembered a name, the president of Motorola.

   And now this giant president who covers the sky with his hands in America is being reprimanded by Carl Icahn. In the time of Creamerton, his sense of the wolf of Wall Street has improved a lot.

  After putting down the phone, Carl Icahn rubbed his brows. Now Carl Icahn is eyeing a new "toy", one of the "living fossils" of the American technology industry, Motorola Group.

   Relying on the popularity of the mobile phone industry, as one of the two giants in the mobile phone industry, Motorola's revenue has continued to skyrocket in recent years, and Motorola has also reached the peak of its power, with a revenue of 29.7 billion US dollars, but the stock price is a bit sluggish.

The point is that in the competition with Nokia, Motorola has gradually moved from being the leader to being overtaken. Although selling mobile phones is also making a lot of money, Motorola has to choose the CDMA standard in order to maintain its position in the American mobile phone market. , and Asia and Europe have begun to implement the GSM standard, which makes its sales in Europe and Asia directly overtaken by Nokia.

  The sales volume was surpassed by Nokia, which made Motorola crazy, but it was still disliked by Wall Street. It only loved the Internet and regarded Motorola as a cow lady.

However, Motorola was rejected not only because of the dispute between CDMA and GSM, but also because of another important reason. Motorola is the overlord of the analog signal era. Its technology and standards are based on analog signals, so it is very resistant to mobile communications. The coming of the times, the same sentence, the **** determines the head, Motorola can't dig its own grave, give up the analog signal that is lying and earning, and take the risk of digital mobile communication, although the latter is obviously a new trend.

All this makes Motorola, which seems to be in full swing, is somewhat disgusted, and its stock price is sluggish. It is also targeted by the hungry wolf Carl Icahn. One vote big.

   "Creamer?!"

   Carl Icahn looked at Creamer in front of him, "What's the matter?"

Creamer tidied his clothes and took a deep breath. At the moment just now, various thoughts flashed in Creamer's mind. He looked at Carl Icahn with a little fiery gaze. He didn't know when, To be able to be like Carl Icahn, to treat the American giant as nothing, and to be able to reprimand at will!

   "I want to work with director Carl Icahn on one thing!" Creamer said loudly to Carl Icahn.

Carl Icahn couldn't help but smile. He didn't know how long it had been since no one came to him and asked to cooperate with him. He was always the one who came to "cooperate". It's hard to say what mood the company is in.
