Chapter 1582: Lobbying Hard
After the collapse of Lehman Brothers, many analysts' comments on the collapse of Lehman Brothers are basically the same argument: Lehman Brothers is too crazy, and the leverage ratio given in the subprime mortgage is too high, with a leverage ratio of 1:35 and an 11% market share of the subprime mortgage, which led to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers after the subprime mortgage crisis.
But is that really the case?
In fact, there is a simplest way to analyze who most wants Lehman Brothers to go bankrupt, just to see who can get the most benefit after Lehman Brothers goes bankrupt.
After the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, Bear Stearns, which was originally the fifth largest investment bank in the United States, was acquired by **** at a value of $2 per share and a total value of $236 million, which is no different from robbery......
Michael Lehman hadn't thought of it yet, but as a veteran Wall Street financial family, he realized one thing: Lehman Brothers could not go bankrupt in five years anyway, unless ......
"What does Mr. Fernandez want?" asked Michael Lehman suddenly to Richard Forder.
Although he didn't understand why his boss suddenly asked this question, Richard Forde immediately replied: "He wants a 30% stake in Wolfsburg Motors, and Wolfsburg Motors is not allowed to enter the Chinese market." ”
Fernandez Chen wants a stake in Wolfsburg and wants to exclude Wolfsburg from the Chinese market?
Richard Fulder's answer surprised Michael Lehman, it doesn't matter if the accident is wrong, Michael Lehman has seen a lot of all kinds of strange situations in this world, and after a brief pause, Michael Lehman told Richard Lehman that he can come back now, as for how to deal with Chen Geng next, come back and discuss.
Hanging up the phone, Michael Lehman's face was cloudy.
Before, it was just an idea, but now, he is more and more sure in his heart that Chen Geng must have "seen" something, and it doesn't matter what he saw, but the question is, why did the Lehman family let Fernandez Chen help him?
As a veteran financial family, Michael Lehman is well aware that everything in this world has a price, and the price to get Fernandez Chen's help is probably even greater......
........................
While Michael Lehman was pondering what price he should pay to get Chen Geng's help, far away in China, the German ambassador to China, His Excellency Volcker Stancer, was visiting the relevant leaders and trying to persuade them to agree to let the Yiqi Group cooperate with Audi, a subsidiary of Wolfsburg Automobiles......
"Mr. Guo, Wolfsburg Automobile is a large-scale automobile industry group integrating vehicle design and testing, power system design, and traditional system design, with global annual sales of nearly 2 million vehicles, which is one of the lifeblood of the German automobile industry, and its status in the German automobile industry is similar to that of your country's Yiqi Group," Volker Stexer puffed his lips and tried to say good things for Wolfsburg Automobile:" Audi under Wolfsburg Automobile is recognized as one of the three major luxury car brands in Germany, with a long history, and now, Mercedes-Benz is in contact with your country's Shouqi Group, and the negotiations between BMW and Brilliance Group have also reached the final stage, if Audi can also enter China, it means that the three major European luxury car brands have entered the Chinese ...... at the same time"
Speaking of this, Volcker Stanzer looked at Mr. Guo and said seriously: "Mr. Guo, you should clearly understand what this means, which means that the Huaxia market has become a market that the whole world must attach great importance to, both economically and politically significant!"
Mr. Guo was a little moved by Volker Stancer: Indeed, if Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi have all entered Huaxia and carried out joint ventures with local automobile manufacturing enterprises in China, both political and economic significance are very significant, but Mr. Guo will not be fooled by Volker Stexer and believe his words without doubt. After a deep sigh, especially this Audi, Mr. Guo asked Volcker Stancer: "Mr. Stanzer, I have only heard that Mercedes-Benz and BMW in Germany are luxury cars, when will this Audi be considered a luxury car?"
"Mr. Guo, I know that Audi's popularity in China is not very high, but in Europe, Audi's popularity is very high," said Volker Stancer: "The reason for this situation is that Audi cars have always focused on Europe and the United States, ignoring the development and promotion of the Chinese market, but in fact, in Europe, people's recognition of Audi is very high, in the survey of many statistical agencies, Audi is second only to Mercedes-Benz and BMW luxury brands, in our Germany, there are even ' BBA's statement. ”
"Is that so?"
To tell the truth, after seeing Volcker Stexer with such a blank look, Mr. Guo was a little frightened by him: Could it be that Audi is really famous in Europe?
However, despite his suspicions, Mr. Guo did not fully believe the words of Walker Stanzer, and he believed whatever Walker Stanzer said, and which D member did not understand the truth that "no investigation has no right to speak"? Not to mention that once he spoke for Audi, he would be able to put on his own face.
He bowed his head slightly and said vaguely: "If that's the case, then Audi is indeed amazing." ”
