Chapter 231: Whoever is successful, give him more
Early the next morning, Gu Kun woke up in the sun-drenched East Palace of Zhaoming Palace, and the exhaustion all over his body was swept away, but he was still a little unaccustomed to it.
", I've slept on the yacht for a month, the bed doesn't shake a little, and the biological clock is disordered, so I don't have acne on my face." ”
Rubbing his face in a daze, a palace maid immediately came to serve him to wash and change his clothes and have breakfast.
The first half of the south part of the Zhaoming Palace is the "palace" that deals with government affairs, and the second half of the north is the "palace" of accommodation.
Therefore, the East Palace is a group of palace rooms in the northeast corner of Zhaoming Palace, covering an area of less than one hectare, and there has been no one living there for more than ten years. After all, according to the etiquette law, this place is for the prince of the Grand Duke, and in 84, Zhu Youdong's two sons all died, and the East Palace was of course empty. Zhu Youran was still young at the time, the eldest duke's family was thin, and he didn't need a few palace rooms, and it was normal for his youngest daughter to live with her parents.
After the Southeast Asian financial crisis passed in 98, the royal family's assets also followed Gu Kun's investment to earn a vote, and there was so much money that there was nowhere to spend it for the time being, so when the Zhaoming Palace was renovated, the East Palace was rebuilt.
It was about last year that it was completely repaired, and the smell was run-in, and Gu Kun came to live if he wanted to live (its practical royal classical decoration has no formaldehyde, and it can live directly without loose smell, which is very environmentally friendly).
Breakfast is all Chinese desserts, osmanthus candy pine nut chestnut flour steamed cake, Lipu taro rolls, amber walnut peach branch cake. There is almost no meat and seafood in a few dry dishes, which can be regarded as regulating Gu Kun's stomach - after floating on the sea for more than a month, the seafood will be tired of eating every day, and it is rare to go ashore, so it is necessary to light it down.
As for the soup, it is a nognocchi dish of lotus leaf chicken soup. Don't look at the name gnocchi is more vulgar, but the workmanship is not vulgar.
The chicken used in the soup is a Borneo mountain chicken, and the gnocchi is made with fresh lotus leaf dew as dough water, freshly baked matcha powder, and finally pressed into a thin lump with a round pattern using a lotus leaf mold.
After the chicken soup is boiled, the pimples should all float on the surface of the soup, shaped like a lotus bonsai, which is the Daming etiquette method that can be used as a royal soup. But if there is a piece of lotus leaf gnocchi that is too thick and sinking or the shape is out of shape, it has to be returned to the imperial dining room and cannot be used for meals.
In fact, if you go back a few years, these luxurious rituals in Zhaoming Palace are not so exquisite, mainly because they were not so tyrants at that time. In the past two years, the royal family has followed Gu Kun and become more and more beautiful, so that all the places that can be paid attention to in the ancient etiquette have been rediscovered.
Gu Kun had breakfast and was thinking about exposing the Australian KG Seafood Group and Indonesian slaves. But before he could start work, he first received an international call from an old friend.
It was Liang Jinsong from Xiangjiang who called, talking about the low-cost absorption of Huang Yi's outstanding shares on the NASDAQ.
Gu Kun's mind pondered for a moment before he reacted.
Ding Sanshi's Huang Yi was "bleeding IPO" on April 1st April Fool's Day on the NASDAQ, and the "small non" in those "big and small non" has a six-month lock-up period, but it can't be lifted on October 1st.
Now that he counts the days, it has only been half a month since the ban was lifted, and Gu Kun happened to be floating on the sea for half a month, almost isolated from the world, without any media appearance, without any public news level actions, it is said that his imaginary enemies should also be in the most relaxed state of vigilance.
Liang Jinsong said on the phone: "In the past ten days, the outstanding shares of Huang Yi that have changed hands have exceeded 15% of Huang Yi's total share capital, and more than half of them were sold by Murdoch's Fox." You guess how much the average price is. ”
Gu Kun: "Damn, what's there to sell here, just report it, is there a share less than 60 cents? It won't be 50 cents, right?"
Gu Kun casually guessed a number, it was obvious that he was affected by the data in history, so he subconsciously guessed the range of five corners and six corners, because in the cold winter of the Internet in his previous life, Huang Yi's stock price fell to such a low level when it fell the worst. can copy the bottom at the lowest level, Gu Kun is satisfied.
However, Liang Jinsong's answer still exceeded his expectations: "What's more, if it's only 50 cents, I have nothing to show off, in fact, the most expensive transactions are controlled at 40 cents a share, and most of the chips are in 30 cents." ”
"Damn, it's so cheap? Isn't Murdoch equivalent to cutting meat? He didn't even have the capital when he entered the market when he entered the market," Gu Kun couldn't help blurting out in surprise, "I remember that Huang Yi's issue price was only five or six dollars, and the opening transaction price on the first day was more than four yuan." ”
Gu Kun should be shocked, because this number is too low.
It can be imagined that according to the underwriting price of the underwriting brokerage at the time of the IPO, the transaction of 3 cents per share is equivalent to a 94% drop from the internal price of the primary market on March 30!
It also fell by 92% compared to the first price of retail investors in the secondary market on April 1.
This can almost be described as a bloodbath, and the $2 million venture capital that Murdoch gave to Huang Yi two years ago is equivalent to saying that he has not even recovered the capital.
How ironic it is to invest an Internet company in an IPO and go public, but in the end it will not be able to return when it is sold off.
Liang Jinsong also noticed Gu Kun's shock and explained bluntly: "Actually, this is the case, you worked in a series of media during the Sydney Olympics. Including the operations that killed Nike, the follow-up media followed suit, and everyone also saw it.
In the media of Oceania, it is relatively helpful to help you speak, and Fox is like a mad dog, and it is now well known. I actually didn't play much tricks, but since then, I have been making my own claims to help you preach that 'the financial master behind Huang Yi is the Fox system', and then during this time, the domestic Huang Yi's portal traffic plummeted.
Your ability to define the life and death of luxury fashion brands during the Olympic Games, including those big luxury fashion brands, is too emotional for the Chinese people to watch. Now in the mainland, almost any online media is behind it, and it is revealed that the management is against you, and the people who watch the online media will plummet, and the market value of the website is expected to fall.
In the past two trading weeks, those who hold Huang Yi shares on the NASDAQ have been rumored that if the Fox Department does not completely get rid of Huang Yi, Huang Yi may be boycotted by the Chinese and never turn over, so they all fled in panic. Murdoch wanted to increase his holdings to save the market at first, but later he didn't want to wade into this troubled water, he was afraid that even if he sucked away all the outstanding shares, in the end Huang Yi's traffic performance would not be able to get up, he would just be slapped in the face, maybe it would damage his prestige in the field of public opinion control, so he also fled with a low price. ”
Gu Kun smacked it, and finally smoothed out the logic in it.
In the final analysis, it is still to blame that his prestige in public opinion in the Chinese world is too high, and he has become an absolute idol of more than a billion people. Whichever media hacks him, which media will be spurned.
No way, since the Opium War, who has ever seen a yellow-skinned Chinese who can make Addison and Nike die, and just do what he says?
Which yellow-skinned Chinese can do what he says if he gives birth to Armani and lets Givenchy die?
Which yellow-skinned Chinese man said that if Rolls-Royce was a tool pilot for the Maybach, he would be able to do what he said?
Gu Kun did it, coupled with more than a dozen gold medals and more than 20 world records in the Olympic Games, and the global media bombarded indiscriminately, Gu Kun is now in the eye of the typhoon of the national attention and spiritual sustenance, which is too uplifting for the people.
Whichever media hacks him, which media has the subscription rate and ratings in the Chinese world, he has to die.
Murdoch can always speculate on stocks and become a shareholder, pinch it, and continue to throw money trays if anyone throws it. The problem is that there is no end to this kind of tray, as long as Murdoch does not roll from Huang Yi for a day, because Murdoch has blackened Gu Kun before and fought against Gu Kun in the public opinion war, Huang Yi will be boycotted by the Chinese world for a day.
Murdoch will also be ridiculed after a long time, and it may affect the credibility of Fox's parent company. In this case, it is better to cut the mess and cut the flesh quickly, and don't get entangled.
As a result, when it was underwritten to the brokerage at the end of March, Murdoch's shares in Murdoch's hand should have been worth tens of millions of dollars at that time, and some losses were lost in the middle for the tray. And in the end, he escaped and cut meat, but he didn't come back with two million, which was so miserable.
According to Liang Jinsong's operation, Gu Kun only needs to spend $5 million, and he can eat 10% of Murdoch's shares and 20% of Huangyi's shares held by retail investors circulating in the market. It is much lower than the price that Ding Sanshi offered him before the Internet winter.
Saving money is not the key, the key is that after this battle, the media people in the Chinese world must weigh this lesson from the past: Gu Kun is also the one you can hack, you accompany the black, and you will be retributed in the future!
Of course, up to now, this action of absorbing chips has not been completely completed, Liang Jinsong said that he has only absorbed about 15%, and there is still half of the workload, and it is estimated that the transaction will be completed in a few days.
For this kind of transaction, where "one party wants to cut the meat at any cost, and the other party only has specific shareholders who dare to take over", the transaction has always been very fast. Because except for Gu Kun, other shareholders need to worry that "if Fox's holdings are not sold out, the days when Huang Yi will be boycotted and worthless will not end", so even if they feel that the price is already very low now, they dare not act rashly.
Only Gu Kun himself can offset the market's expectation that "the website is not worth much because of Gu Kun", so he does not have the risk of falling short for Shanjiuren.
To put it mildly, even if Fox pinched two or three points in the end and didn't sell it clean, Gu Kun could announce that he was already Huang Yi's shareholder, Huang Yi had reconciled with him, and the previous "Huang Yi is a pawn of the Fox system, and cooperating with Fox to black Gu Kun" was a misunderstanding.
Then the market's bearish expectations will evaporate.
This is an irreplaceable unique advantage, and others can't grab it.
"Very well, then continue to absorb chips at a pace, as long as it is a share of 30 cents, I want as much as I want. Get it done for me this week. Gu Kun finally instructed Liang Jinsong.
Liang Jinsong estimates that he will not be able to work in the Asia-Pacific region of the Blackstone Fund for long, and this may be the last time he will personally work for Gu Kun.
"I know, don't worry, it will work. I am a man who wants to do things well from the beginning to the end. Next time, if you still have the need for equity investment, it is estimated that Boss Su will personally help you do it. Liang Jinsong said yes on the phone.
The boss Su he mentioned, that is, Su Shiming, the CEO of Blackstone Fund, is the Chinese name given by Schwartzman. Gu Kun's current business scale continues to expand, and it is indeed not Liang Jinsong's ability to control it well, so he should give up business and become a director.
