Jing Jian raised his eyebrows, smiling, and looking at the latest article on the "Fortune" that he had just faxed: "...... Mr. George Soros, a well-known Wall Street investor and head of the hedge fund Quantum Fund, believes that the high-tech company of Mr. Bramble, a miracle Chinese kid, is on the verge of bankruptcy and will need to raise about $2 billion in the next 18 months. Without the backing of Wall Street banks or private investors, its privatized Iceberg Network, Standard Group and White Lotus Group are likely to go bankrupt in the next three to six months. ”

The article is accompanied by an interview with Soros: "...... I think the Standard Group in particular is going to collapse in the next 3 to 6 months...... This is partly due to the fact that it simply cannot reach an adequate customer base, and partly because the investment in standard logistics is too large. In particular, several of Mr. Bramble's core companies are privatized, and their information disclosure is quite opaque. In the case of public companies, this already means that these companies will be subject to a formal investigation by the SEC. And we all know that when a company is formally investigated, it can be difficult to raise money from the public markets because these investigations have to be public, which often has a huge impact on the value of stocks and debt. ”

“…… Of course, the Quantum Fund has already shorted two companies, Bluestar and Delta Power. Personally, I think Mr. Bramble will have a hard time getting through this. The only way out is external financing, that is, to abandon privatization ......"

"Hehehe. Jing Jian couldn't help but laugh. The article is full of the concept of stealing, that privatized companies do not need to be disclosed to the outside world, and that the SEC will never have enough to support an illegal investigation of a private company. And although Soros has always been very famous, he has long since withdrawn from the specific operation of the quantum fund.

And in the future, whether it is the pound resistance war or the Southeast Asian financial crisis, Soros will be quite high-profile. As a matter of fact, don't the financial circles in Europe and the United States know that they have made a fortune in silence? It is nothing more than that each has its own role, and Soros is generally used to pull the banner and set off wildfires.

Of course, this time Soros suddenly spoke, he also wanted to "set wildfires", and the key is the sentence "The only way out is external financing, that is, to give up privatization ......". However, it is conceivable that this will have a considerable impact on Jing Jian, and the difficulty of its loans will definitely increase by several orders of magnitude in the future, and the price of financing will be much lower. Maybe that's what Wall Street is for.

After thinking about it, Jing Jian picked up the phone: "Kent, let Britain start acting." ”

……

On the streets of London in June, fans are in the midst of the carnival of the World Cup in Italy. This time, the England team was not in a good group, unfortunately entered the group of death, but this England team was brilliant, under the leadership of the old coach Robson, changed the traditional British tactics of the British team's long pass and rush, and sacrificed the banner of technical flow, Gary Lineker, Stuart Pearce, Steve McMahon, Paul Gascoigne...... , arguably the strongest England team since the end of the century.

However, in the early morning of this day, passers-by were attracted by the headline of The Sun - Portsmouth storm again, targeting the core players of the national team.

Curious, many people bought it, and the content of the article was really exciting: "...... According to sources, Portsmouth FC has prepared a huge transfer fee, and will snap up the core players of the national team as soon as the World Cup is over. And not one, two, not even three or four, it probably includes the vast majority of the main squad players, and it is a price that is difficult to solve......"

"it!" almost everyone who saw the news, except for the Portsmouth FC fans, shouted in unison. At this time, the European transfer market is not as free as it will be after the Boseman Act in the future, and it will be difficult for players to transfer if the club resolutely refuses to release them. So the England national team is quite scattered, almost every top club has one or two, if this news is true, isn't that a corner of all clubs?

The media in the UK is quite developed, and at noon on the same day, the TV station invited guests and launched a special program: "...... It's unimaginable, and I have to admit, it's beyond my common sense. Portsmouth FC's current squad is quite complete and has a reasonable echelon. If so, would we have our national team players on the bench, or would Portsmouth's current squad need a major purge? There is no very plausible explanation at all, and I can only guess if Mr. Bramble has a collector's ?......."

“…… I think it's very likely, and Chairman Bramble is looking for a good moment. In the aftermath of the Hillsborough tragedy, clubs are spending a lot of money on renovating their stadiums, and that's when funds are scarce at all. So it's easy to buy cheap and good players at this moment......"

“…… I have no comment on Portsmouth's behaviour and no comment on transfer rumours. But from the perspective of ordinary England fans, I'm quite angry. I would like to ask the gentlemen of Portsmouth, have you ever considered that England are playing in the World Cup, and that you have made such a move to shake the morale of the army during the transfer suspension, which is a crime against England as a whole, against all our fans......

“……”

The special programs broadcast one after another are like a hurricane blowing across the entire British Isles. And the media and fans are all criticizing and criticizing Portsmouth FC in unison for ignoring the overall situation.

And the FA also held a press conference: "...... We have obtained this information from the media and have asked Portsmouth FC and other relevant clubs, including the rumoured players and their agents, and there is no conclusive evidence yet. But here, we would like to issue a warning once again that Portsmouth FC will not be delusional about playing on the sidelines. While there is no evidence on paper and perhaps only a few phone calls, if it is discovered, the FA will impose the most severe punishment and will hold those responsible accountable. During the World Cup, it is absolutely forbidden for anyone to play with fire!"

In this case, the media focus was all on Portsmouth FC. The reporters in front of the club immediately became the inner and outer three layers, and finally, under the long-awaited, the club manager Pixar held a press conference......
