Chapter 187: Failure to keep promises

Don't say that the stock market is all virtual assets, this really can't be said, at least not in the United States.

Securities investment here is generally leveraged, and even the most conservative investors will use the stocks in their hands as collateral.

It's not that Lao Mei likes long-term investment, your stocks are mortgaged to the bank, is it possible that you still play swings?

It is possible to buy shares again with the money taken out of the bank, and more aggressive investors will mortgage again.

The more mainstream approach is to use your own small money to buy a fund, and then mortgage the fund to the bank, and then use the money to get high.

If the price rises, everyone will be happy, and the bank will also lend you more, if the price falls, you must be ready to hit the street.

As a standard blue chip, the blue giant is often purchased as a fund, and the decline is not a big problem, if it continues to be bearish, there will be many people unlucky.

You say it's impossible to fall so much?

That's right, but the problem is that stocks have been falling in recent years, and they are already some way from their highs, and according to Wall Street fund managers, if the decline extends to 5, banks will ask customers to increase their collateral.

Generally speaking, the collateral of securities is about 85, and the credit is particularly prominent, it may also be 90.

Banks have been recycling money for some time, and if the decline is not controlled, many shareholders will really be out of luck.

These are just the problems of ordinary shareholders, the leverage ratio of the institution is very high, and these guys are naturally popular.

The attitude of the blue giant towards microcomputers has always been criticized by shareholders, but this time it is not bad, and it has finally begun to pay attention to this increasingly large market.

Expanding the business naturally means a new profit growth point, which is also a major benefit, never thought that the institutions that wanted to take the opportunity to pull up the shipment would collectively lie down without exception.

The interim board of directors of the IB is simply a Shura field, and all kinds of insults and accusations are endless.

"Can any of you tell me what's going on with that Microsoft, and whether it's operating in the dark? And that Lotus software, whose idea is it to get rid of the White system, and what is the purpose? That company is just a software company, don't tell me that there is any conflict of interest. ”

A group of shareholders shouted, almost toppling the table in the conference room, when had the board of directors of the blue giant seen such a scene.

Although the accusations of shareholders are varied, the core idea is very clear, you don't choose the most reliable, you don't choose the most famous, what kind of process is this?

That's really hard to answer, you can't say that Bill and I have a good relationship, and if you do, don't hold this meeting.

Not to mention their tearing war here, Lotus Company is still very happy, although it doesn't sell much software, but it can be regarded as a good situation.

After all, the blue giant is a large company, and his background is not comparable to Apple's, and it is a fact that the shipments did not meet expectations, and the absolute number is actually not small.

It's been more than a week since IBPC was released, and seeing that the sales are okay, Lotus has also increased the number of software production, but they didn't expect Wright Software to skip tickets, and the software prepared now is obviously not enough.

Just when they were full of ambition, White Software suddenly shipped, including the office suit, almost a series.

"Bastard"

Seeing the date on the package, the blue giant and the lotus spurted blood, you are too bullying, you obviously gave birth at the end of March, and actually said that it would take six months.

I'll lie to you, you bite me?

The most speechless thing is that the ibpc with the office suit installed, it is actually smooth, even if it doesn't solve all the problems, at least it can be regarded as a solution.

Nima, do you dare to slap your face a little more?

Lotus was beaten again, this time there is really no way, your software can't be used at all, what is this.

It's not your problem? It's the operating system.

Are you kidding me? It's okay for Mao White's software, the operating system is Microsoft's, and it's not White's, hurry up, hurry up and return it.

The guy who was still tearing up in the board of directors was directly angry when he learned the news.

The reason for being angry is, of course, very simple, people just want you to look good, that is, your stock price fluctuates sharply.

Who William White was, they finally knew this time.

There is no if in this world, this in and out, the loss is too great.

For the sake of confidentiality, so the delay is handed over to the Wright Software operating system?

Haha, people have already had it in their hands, and they have studied it very thoroughly, and they know what the vulnerabilities of this system are.

However, people just don't tell you, you take the software to study, rest assured, it will definitely not be very easy, and casual changes may crash the system.

Microsoft is also miserable, your patches are not very good, what should I do with these computers that bought the White Office suit?

The bloody plot staged in the IT world has opened the eyes of Hollywood directors, and they can still play like this after a long experience.

The arrogant Qiao Dashen naturally started his propaganda offensive again, ridiculing that IB is naturally a reserved program.

Of course, he didn't forget to call and complain, William White knows very well that this product belongs to taking advantage of the advantage and selling well, the current situation is already very good, if you can't live a few more years, this is really sorry for William White's kindness.

"Boss, we got a $1.5 billion loan from the footbasin. ”

"Tsk, that's a real problem. ”

"Boss, the yen is expected to appreciate obviously, and they do have concerns. ”

"Haha, of course I know the appreciation expectation, otherwise it would be nice to borrow yen. ”

"With the addition of domestic securities pledged loans, we now have 2.5 billion. ”

"Well, let's pay the agreed two billion first, and then use NBC's shares to borrow one billion, and then use other companies' shares to borrow five billion, and tell those investment banks that if the interest rate is high, I will go to Europe for loans. ”

"Okay, boss, I guess they'll compromise. ”

William White quickly secured the first tranche, which caught the consortium off guard, and their hopes would not be fulfilled, and if they did not make a move, the loans would have disappeared.

When you have the ability to pay, the banks are begging you to take out a loan, and they have to pay interest on their deposits, and without these spreads, closing their doors is the only option.

In the final analysis, investment banks are not optimistic about William White's acquisition, they actually have a more secure way to finance, of course, this security is also relative, as for why to lend to him, the reason is also very simple, his ability to pay is no problem.

Then again, once something goes wrong, the footbasin consortium can't grab them, and the regulatory authorities of the United States have always pulled the shelf, which is not news.

This tearing war in the IT industry has made Wall Street see the strength of White Software, although there is a big gap with the blue giant, but it can still grasp the right to speak in a specific field, they are very sure that the blue giant will inevitably change its strategy, you let people slap in the face is nothing, if you are slapped in the face every time, it is really embarrassing.
