Chapter 444: Moving Against the Tide

"Ding Shi is crazy, Wangju has easily recovered on the NASDAQ, and the stock price has risen like a roll, and it has started the process of delisting and privatization!"

"Who says it's not, now Internet stocks can't squeeze into the NASDAQ, he's good, privatization exit, this is to return to my big A-share listing, is he qualified enough?"

"Big A-shares, what kind of dreams are you, just because he has been losing money for so many years, there is no hard indicator of profit. ”

...

As soon as the privatization process of Wangju was made public, it immediately caused an uproar in the industry.

Not only newspapers and magazines showed shock and incomprehension, but even Ding Shi's close friends called to inquire about Ding Shi.

But that's not what I thought about at all.

Boss Ding felt aggrieved, but he had to force a smile, and issued a statement in the face of doubts from the outside world: "Our temporary withdrawal today is for better development tomorrow." ”

"It's still a fart, the NASDAQ is not enough for you to play, the earth can't stop it, let's go to Mars." A social network media that does not deal with the same network gathering, set up a special topic to sneer at the network gathering.

Affected by the online gathering post bar, the Internet social media that play BBS are not having a good time now, whether it is the number of registrants or the so-called daily active people, all of them are under the rule of the online community post bar.

In addition to the penguin's instant messaging self-contained, and the news of the leading wave is temporarily irreplaceable, the net gathering is now in the limelight.

Naturally, it is the public enemy of the industry.

"Is there a future for Wangju?" a business journal took advantage of the situation to attract attention with a huge headline, questioning the anti-trend decision of Wangju from all aspects, and taking a comprehensive look at the future of Wangju.

This is a heavyweight business publication, although most of the articles are not quite consistent with the facts, very plausible, but the logic is self-contained, for ordinary people, it is still very confusing.

The article analyzes that after the delisting, the network will be comprehensively weakened in terms of capital, brand, and influence, and choosing to delist at the time when it has just become the leading Internet in the mainland is simply a self-defeating martial arts and a great future!

Of course, as for the motive for delisting, the article arbitrarily believes that this is Ding Shi's inflated, and a stubborn and self-serving business leader is a fatal wound of the network gathering!

After seeing the article, Ding Shi almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and countless grass and mud horses trampled it in his heart, and he couldn't speak.

Big brother, am I inflated? Please look at the announcement of the NASDAQ, labor and management are not the masters of the network gathering! Can you be more professional in doing things?

But Ding Shi really can't clarify it like this, the new shareholder changes announced by the NASDAQ network are all the names of some unfamiliar offshore companies, and the background and owner are now known in addition to Ding Shi, and Liu Ruoyi and other initiators themselves know.

What's more, the major shareholders have not changed hands, these reporters and editors who rely on hot spots to eat, where will they think of something more far-reaching, pull it on the Internet, set up a very controversial topic to catch the eye, and the rest of the content depends on the editor!

As long as there is something plausible in terms of content, the parties really have no way to take him, after all, it is just some analysis of the possibility of future development, who dares to say that it must be right or wrong!

With such noises, the original monolithic R&D team of Netju has caused a certain amount of turmoil.

If Ding Shi jumps out again and says that the major shareholder has changed hands, the internal turmoil of Wangju will be even more intense. Now the game business of the network gathering, whether it is the post bar business, although it is ahead of the industry, it is still a long way from mastering the situation and taking root in the foundation.

How to say that it has been working hard for several years on the network gathering now, and now Ding Shi has a lot of shares left, and he is still the largest among the single shareholders, which can be said to have great vital interests, how could Ding Shi destroy the Great Wall.

Therefore, although there is a lot of criticism of Ding Shi by external public opinion, these public opinions can still control the internal impact of online gathering at present.

It's just that the privatization of Wangju was unanimously unanimous and unanimous by the outside world, which not only did not affect Liu Ruoyi's determination to reintegrate Wangju, but also because of the disapproval of the outside world, Liu Ruoyi's proposed premium acquisition of public shares went quite smoothly, in fact, there were not many freely traded shares left in the market.

Under Zhao Shaodong's continuous attack, most of the market's outstanding shares have been concentrated in the Aurora system, becoming the private collections of Liu Ruoyi, Zhao Shaodong and Chu Luo, and it is estimated that at most one or two percent is still in the hands of retail investors.

As soon as the tender offer comes out, the shares in the world will be even more scarce, and it is estimated that it will not be long before Wangju will recover most of these scattered shares, and as for the remaining sporadic shares, it will not affect the process of delisting.

Seeing that the delisting of Wangju became a foregone conclusion and began to follow the direction he envisioned, Liu Ruoyi no longer paid attention to this matter.

Instead, in addition to filming, he began to spend the rest of his time on his cornerstone investment.

This is where her future business lies, and the entire team is basically built from scratch.

Wholly-owned cornerstone investment, Liu Ruoyi appointed himself as the chairman of the company this time, and the new CEO candidate for headhunting from the talent market has now passed Liu Ruoyi's interview and found an elite to start working.

Among the many candidates, a senior manager from Lehman Brothers was selected by Liu Ruoyi to become the CEO of Cornerstone Investments.

This professional manager named Tony Cai is a Chinese-American mixed race born in Xiangjiang, now in his 30s, holding a Xiangjiang ID card and Uncle Sam's green card, with a bachelor's degree in mathematics from New York University and an MBA degree from Columbia University.

Of course, his past resume is quite extraordinary, having spent more than a decade on Wall Street, and now he is an executive at Lehman Brothers in Asia, with a very good track record.

The main reason that impressed Liu Ruoyi was that Tony Cai was in charge of the main research on international commodity trading, and the research in this area was already very in-depth.

According to Liu Ruoyi's interview, this Tony has found some signs of bullishness in resource commodities through a variety of signs, but people have actually analyzed it empirically through macroeconomic data and microeconomic data, and Liu Ruoyi's prediction is not on the same level.

However, it is really because the two have the same views on the future trend of resource commodities, and they feel that they can do something in this regard, and although Cornerstone Investment is newly established, Liu Ruoyi's strength still surprises this elite from a large investment bank.

Although there are many people who can get 300 million US dollars to do futures in this year, Liu Ruoyi has this ability and courage at such a young age, which makes Tony Cai also very moved, and finally really agreed to start his own business in Liu Ruoyi's newly opened small temple.

Although Liu Ruoyi's commitment to the annual salary remains unchanged, from the perspective of the career platform, the upside and resume of Liu Ruoyi here are obviously not comparable with the upside of the Lehman Brothers platform, a top international investment bank.

It would be unwise for Tony Tsai to do so in terms of career manager's track record, as the CEO of a small company like Cornerstone Investments is of little use to a top investment bank, and the next step for a senior executive in Asia at Lehman Brothers could be to move to the level of vice president or partner at headquarters.

But from the perspective of entrepreneurship, the conditions given by Liu Ruoyi are not simple, the annual salary is basically unchanged, this is the minimum guarantee, and more importantly, Liu Ruoyi also promised that if it is profitable, the CEO can enjoy the dividend right of 5% of the annual profit of cornerstone investment!

Frankly speaking, Tony Tsai is desperately promoted to senior partner in a major international investment bank, which is nothing more than getting this dividend right! Now Liu Ruoyi gave him such an opportunity, so Tony Cai finally decided to stay and develop in Cornerstone Investment.

Although everything here is in the initial stage, and the manpower, network resources and other aspects are not as good as mature investment banks, Tony Cai talked to Liu Ruoyi and found that this young girl has a very strong intuition about the financial market.

In Liu Ruoyi, Tony Cai, who thinks he is quite knowledgeable, feels a little unable to keep up with Liu Ruoyi's market analysis ideas and broad horizons, and at first thought that Liu Ruoyi might be boastful of being so young.

However, as the exchange deepened, Liu Ruoyi's views on some of the future evolution of the financial market have a strong logical self-consistency, and even Tony Tsai is difficult to refute.

Moreover, in particular, Liu Ruoyi's analysis of the market trend in the oil period in the next one or two years is almost consistent with Tony Tsai's research judgment, and from Liu Ruoyi's point of view, it can also be self-contained and logically consistent, which is exactly corroborated with Tony Tsai's research.

The two sides talked and talked during the interview, and in the end, they basically hit it off.

With the same view of this future trend, and the funds provided by Liu Ruoyi are also quite a lot, Liu Ruoyi does not set any restrictions on Tony Cai in terms of future company operations, but only requires that under the premise of risk control, in terms of investment style, no matter what the operation is.

Through the case of Aurora Venture Capital introduced by Liu Ruoyi, Tony Cai fully understands that Liu Ruoyi is a bold and aggressive investor, and once he sees it, he dares to invest!

These are the necessary qualities for Tony Tsai, who is also adventurous, to do in the financial industry! On the one hand, he has a bold personality, and on the other hand, he must be lucky enough!

In investment banking, if you are conservative, you will be eaten sooner or later, no matter what direction you see, the most important thing is to dare to do it.

A lot of times it's hard to see what the end result will be, but once you trust your own judgment, you have to dare to put the bets on it, and then you need to have a little luck.

If people are unlucky, they are just optimistic from all aspects, and the trend line is extremely stable, but if they encounter the bad luck of the black swan event market leaking wildly, it is useless.

Tony Tsai has been on Wall Street for more than a decade, and has experienced the ups and downs of the financial markets in the 90s, so he certainly knows all about this.

Therefore, the difference with ordinary people is that when Tony Cai invests boldly, he will still insist on maintaining a solid capital safety cushion and a strong stop-loss strategy, and make financial investments.

Only by keeping the funds can you live for a long time.

For this risk control, after more than 10 years of precipitation and accumulation, Tony Cai himself has established a set of quite mature quantitative trading strategies, in Liu Ruoyi's view, for the cornerstone investment can be seen on the general development, but the local time fluctuations can not be predicted, Tony Cai's quantitative trading strategy is an extremely effective practical operation method.

This strategy can greatly improve the utilization rate of funds, plus prevent and control sudden market changes that can lead to catastrophe.

Compared with Liu Neng, Fan Junyu and the two rough moving average trend quantitative analysis trading strategies, Tony Cai's quantitative trading strategy is professional, while Liu Neng's is only a very amateur entry level.

After bothering to create such a new team, Liu Ruoyi turned Liu Neng and Fan Junyu, two traders who joined in the early stage, into a regular one, and formed a real trading working group with Tony Cai, Liu Neng was responsible for monitoring the New York market, Fan Junyu continued to operate the London market, Tony Cai was in the middle of directing and reviewing the adjustment of trading strategies, and Liu Ruoyi regularly worked with the operation team to judge the future trend.

In this way, Liu Ruoyi handed over most of his work to professionals to operate, after a period of running-in, cornerstone investment soon achieved good results, and Liu Ruoyi after the relationship between Xiaobu and Sadam collected and judged, confirmed that this life is basically no different from the previous life, and finally made up his mind to let go and start financing in the oil futures market.

After the allocation of funds by market trading institutions, Liu Ruoyi turned the original principal of only 300 million US dollars into a total of 1 billion US dollars after the capital allocation, and the funds handed over to Tony Cai became a plate with a total amount of 1 billion US dollars.

With such a large amount of capital, he is already qualified to have a large exclusive seat in the London and New York futures markets, and through the highly leveraged operation of futures trading, Tony Tsai can easily push up to tens of billions of dollars.

It's just that the current oil futures market really has a chance to see such a high level of $30?

Tony Cai stared at the computers in front of him, remembering the seminar with Liu Ruoyi, Liu Ruoyi confirmed the first phase of the target price, compared to the current price, this is 20% higher, if this is the case, according to the current price to go long, all the way to the price of 30 US dollars, even according to the conservative strategy, Tony Cai is confident that at least billions of dollars in profits!

This is the level of several times compared to the principal, but don't believe it, this is the magic of high-leverage operation in futures trading.

The thought of heaven and hell is very clearly reflected in futures trading.
