Chapter 269: Small Punishment and Big Commandment

Lehman Brothers' COO Gregory has finally been kicked out, and Galaxy Capital's investment abroad will be much smoother. Gregory also began the next step of his plan to buy Moody's shares. Lehman is going bankrupt, Moody's shares are of little significance, and with the secret guidance of his friend Twitter, Moody's and other three major international rating agencies are now caught in a storm of public opinion, and all kinds of unfavorable remarks have been thrown out one by one. Some congressmen have also spoken out to severely punish the three major rating agencies, listing them as one of the main culprits in the subprime mortgage crisis.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the three major rating agencies of Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch are the main culprits. But after all, Wall Street is strong, and ratings are also one of the foundations of Wall Street's operations, without them, perhaps the entire Wall Street will be chaotic, and the scale of various financial derivatives, bonds and other businesses will decline a lot. Wall Street, which is already miserable, is destined to not accept such an outcome, so no matter how public opinion boils, they will be fine. Zhou Shi just took this opportunity to let everyone take action and sell Moody's shares, to put it bluntly, Galaxy Capital wants to enter the market to participate in the designation of the rules of the game, and the acquisition of Moody's shares is just the beginning of the game.

"Simon, what you said last time has done it, and they've invested more than $100 million. Grigory said on the other end of the phone

"yes, thank you so much, back to Wall Street and invite you to dinner. Zhou Shi was still a little happy when he heard it, although it was only 100 million US dollars, but this was just a small punishment and a big commandment.

"Simon, is it necessary for you to do this, although Li is an old rich man, but your future development will not be smaller than him, why please them like this. "Gregory

"You didn't say that we made the effort, right?" Zhou Shi suddenly felt bad

"No, and I didn't introduce it directly, but if they wanted to investigate, they probably would. "Gregory

"It's good if you don't say it, don't say it. Zhou Shi hurriedly advised

"No problem, don't worry. "Gregory

It didn't take long for the two to hang up. The Li family in Xiangjiang didn't know who it was, so they leaked his words to Lehman, although it didn't have any impact on Zhou Shi, but he felt uncomfortable, and when he was uncomfortable, he naturally had to find a way to vent. Zhou Shi thought of a good company with stable and high returns: Madoff Investment Securities.

This is a very remarkable company, their annual investment income is a very stable slash, the rich in the United States are very fond of Madoff, and some professional investment institutions are also flocking to it. There are investment banks, such as the famous HSBC, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and BNP Paribas; there are large hedge funds, such as ManGroup, one of the largest hedge funds in Europe, and the American hedge fund Fairfield Greenich Group, which has placed about $7.5 billion in its total assets of more than $14 billion in the management of Madoff; cumulatively, each company has invested at least $20.3 billion in Madoff. In addition, some local governments in the United States and even the International Olympic Committee have also participated in the investment of Madoff, which shows the status of Madoff Securities in the American investment community.

But by the end of the year, things will turn around, and this is just a classic "Ponzi scheme", with Madoff's investment hole amounting to more than $60 billion, and the victims are all over the world. Although there was no news of the damage to the Li family in the previous life, they couldn't miss such a feast this time.

Zhou Shi got the news of the Li family's accession, and the next day he came to the domestic office of the Sixiang Fund with a song, and the people of Galaxy Capital temporarily requisitioned it.

"Simon, our negotiations are not going well, they are asking too much. Bruce, who is in charge of this at Galaxy Capital, said.

"Oh, what do they want?" Zhou Shi was not surprised by this, and asked for the price to pay back on the spot, Xiao Ri & It's normal to have such thoughts.

"Nothing else, but they set the market value of ATL at $1 billion, and we won't cut the price no matter what we say. "Bruce

"They want to find an excuse to shirk, why don't they say it clearly?" Zhou Shi

"Judging from the information revealed by their insiders, there are people who refuse, there are people who oppose our shares, but now it is the people who oppose us who are presiding over our negotiations. "Bruce

"That's it!" Zhou Shi thought about it, it was very difficult to do.

"Pull ATL's management into negotiations, say our terms, prove to them our sincerity, and then unite against TDK. Zhou Shi said fiercely that he would give more benefits to the management led by Zeng Yuqun, see more hope for success, and strengthen their determination to stand on the side of Galaxy Capital.

"Okay, I got it. "Bruce

Although it is difficult to take a stake in ATL, there are still many ways, and the elites who have been in the Wall Street for a long time still have many ways to sow discord and push the boat along the river. Under the eternal good, there will always be a solution.

Li Ying and DJI cooperation negotiations began, and Weng in this life has a different path from his previous life, and he doesn't know whether it is good or bad. After all, there is no shortage of money and they will not think about making money, or they may not have enough motivation for technology research and development, and they will not burst out the greatest motivation and creativity of entrepreneurs in a desperate situation. But fortunately, the investment is not large, even if there is a loss, there is nothing, it is really not good, and then support a drone company to compete.

Zhou Shi has been in Shenzhen for a while, and Xiao Ma, as the landlord, has neither called nor invited him. If he didn't know that Zhou Shi was in the deep market, it was possible. After all, Zhou Shi did not announce his itinerary on the friend network, nor did he announce his arrival in a big battle. What's more, the Tengxun Penguin Company has been hit one after another, and it is not necessarily that Brother Ma can't be busy.

Although Penguin received $100 million from the original shareholders of Neople, there are still many troubles, such as the South Korean tax department to tax the $100 million. Regardless of the outcome, the penguins will not be able to get out of South Korea anytime soon.

After Galaxy Capital contacted ATL's management, Zeng Yuqun came to Shenzhen from Dongguan to get more guarantees.

"The initial valuation is less than 500 million US dollars, and the management base shares are 5% and 5% of the equity incentives. The valuation is more than $500 million, and only five percent of the underlying shares, and the subsequent equity incentives will be discussed later. "Zhou Shi didn't go around and around, it was simple and direct.

"Will we be the main leader in the future development?" Zeng Yuqun has no problem with the distribution of benefits, but has more ideas for future development.

"If you can stick to the technical orientation and maintain the technical advantage of ATL, everything else is good to say. "Zhou Shi doesn't want a company that trades, industrials and technology.

"Okay! "Zeng Yuqun
