Chapter 386: Wall Street's Wolves

Now that the companies listed on the Nasdaq are all down and out of order, some high-quality stocks are also being dragged down, and the development of this trend is completely detrimental to many companies in Silicon Valley.

Su Mu hopes that the stock price will fall, so that he can buy some companies at that time, but the situation has recently gotten out of control, and he hopes that his companies will have a "soft landing", rather than suddenly falling to a certain low, otherwise it will take a long time for the market to recover.

Recently, there have been signs of brokerage companies jointly strangling small retail investors, sometimes pulling up stock prices, creating the illusion of market recovery, and then falling hard after they find a receiver, passing on the risk to ordinary people.

These capital businessmen have media channels and experts to help them trade, as if a group of hungry wolves bite people when they see them, but in fact, they are more likely to enter the market during the low period, even if the Nasdaq index has fallen so much recently, they are still making money.

In addition, all kinds of shorts have also been dispatched, such as these companies in Sumu, with a total short-selling scale of nearly 10 billion US dollars!

The invisible smoke between Silicon Valley and Wall Street has already begun, and they have begun to save themselves, and a group of investors with ulterior motives are suppressing the stocks of Microsoft, Bee, OO and other companies, and it seems that they are preparing to enter the market at a low price to take advantage.

Now we are in danger, and if they succeed, the majority shareholders of many companies will soon become minority shareholders, just like Wall Street did when Hollywood was stormed.

The stock market crisis is a disaster for ordinary stockholders, and in the eyes of financial predators, it is a coexistence of risk and crisis, they will not be tied up and wait for death, and they are trying to make up for their losses by all means recently, busy hedging and passing on their own risks, while also relying on long-term vision to make layout.

In the face of this external threat, forcing Silicon Valley to unite to resist, some companies in Sumu have adopted measures such as different rights to ensure that there will be no situation where power is hollowed out.

However, as the actual decision-maker of the company, as long as the other party owns enough shares, it does not mean that it is completely safe, especially in the case of a crisis, other shareholders can use various excuses to apply for arbitration, which is likely to make Su Mu lose control of his company, plus there were too many sales some time ago, this kind of scene is likely to happen.

A combination of reasons has led Silicon Valley to come together against the pressures of Wall Street and the financial crisis, with large companies having the strength to resist and small companies with uncertain performance prospects almost abandoned.

In this kind of situation where everyone protects themselves, who cares what about those small companies, a group of Silicon Valley giants jointly spoke out to avoid a serious decline in the company's stock price, and Su Mu's "10 billion dollar repurchase financing plan" is also to deter those Wall Street investors.

The situation is more complicated than Su Mu originally imagined, many small companies that were thriving were surprised to find that it was difficult to raise funds recently, even if the valuation was constantly decreasing, no one was willing to invest, and the lack of liquidity, even the best creative Internet companies could not survive, and for a time fell into a "money shortage" situation, the funds in Su Mu's hands became more important, and they could play a huge role when necessary.

......

It was not only Su Mu who appeared on the show, but other Silicon Valley celebrities also showed up, and even Ellison was rarely good-tempered and promoted for Oracle.

Relying on Sumu's Bee chat software, under their continuous explanations, it really slowed down the decline rate, Microsoft, OO, SUN and other companies' stocks began to pick up, the entire NASDAQ market is moving towards polarization, and the stock prices of high-quality companies fluctuate little, resulting in the sudden decline of the NASDAQ 100 index The situation has improved a lot, and those small and medium-sized Internet listed companies that rely on selling concepts have been unlucky and have begun to accelerate their decline, and many companies can hear the news of bankruptcy every day.

After the crisis, many companies that were already in problems exploded one by one, constantly pulling the market down the trough of the abyss, which is sad to say, and has experienced three large-scale stock market crashes in the past 20 years, and the small ones have continued one after another.

The psychological endurance of American investors has been tempered, and the fund companies with heavy positions in the Internet industry have suffered heavy losses, while hedge funds have made a fortune, and for a time the word "hedge fund" has been passed on by many investors.

......

The stock market crash that appeared in 1996 had a big impact on Su Mu, and the hedge fund company that was hastily formed in advance used one billion dollars to leverage eight billion US dollars, and the income offset part of the paper wealth lost due to the decline in stock prices.

Even if his worth drops to $40 billion, he is still the richest man in the world, and he spends his days trying to maximize his own interests, so much so that he doesn't care about Lily.

On the first day of May, the two of them went for a ride on a yacht in San Francisco Bay, and after they got married, their lives did not change in any way, except that when they were introduced to others, they added the prefixes "my husband" and "my wife".

His son Su Lin is still staying in the giant sequoia ranch, taken care of by his grandparents and great-grandfather, Su Mu has decided to send him to study in the second half of the year, and he has not yet chosen a good school.

After putting down the phone, Su Mu sighed and said to Lily: "The fire has burned to the upstream telecommunications field, after the World Communications Company declared bankruptcy, the stock prices of Wilson, Telephone and Telegraph Company and other companies are also declining, Wall Street has completely abandoned small and medium-sized enterprises, only our large companies can temporarily stabilize, and the long-term downward trend is inevitable."

Some people think I'm lying, but in fact, I don't, the top 20 Internet companies in the market, more than half of the market value is undervalued, and the money in your hand can be used to buy the bottom, but I don't know when it will end, and when the market is stable, you can make a move with me. ”

Lily didn't quite understand, she nodded: "I just listen to you, I believe in your vision, I only had tens of millions of dollars at the beginning, and it was you who turned it into so much money, even if you lose it, it's fine." ”

"The likelihood of a loss is low, a Wall Street company recently took the opportunity to buy a large stake in shares, several companies have joined forces to take away control of Microsoft Gates, is preparing to restructure the board of directors, he is already planning to resign, but is not prepared to sell his stake in Microsoft in the short term. ”

"There have been a lot of CEOs who have left recently, what about you, are you still safe?" asked Lily.

"Me?"

Su Mu smiled: "My company's situation is fine, many investors are optimistic about my company, they are already buying the bottom to enter the market, with them the stock price will not fall too much, the situation is slightly better than I imagined, but I am worried that the funds in my hand are not enough, otherwise I can buy more in the future."

The stock market crash has brought investors back to their senses, and the next thing will be the era of value investing, where there are bankrupt and liquidated companies everywhere, and I'm having people help me find useful patents that will be valuable in the future......"
