205 Extremely simple purpose
As a management member of Goldman Sachs for many years, Hicks is not too young, but in fact he is not too old, about fifty years old, in the prime of the rich class. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although he is not as good as those top rich, he is worth more than 100 million dollars, and he can be regarded as a wealthy man with a small achievement. -- Not all the top leaders of a large group have money, in fact, the real ones are the big shareholders who do not interfere in management, and Hicks does not hold many shares.
This middle-aged man has brown eyes, neatly combed hair, slightly white temples, a high hooked nose, and fierce and piercing eyes, looking like a very strong person.
After all, he has been engaged in the financial industry all the year round, which is considered a need for work, and he is in a high position, so he naturally has a sharpness that ordinary people do not have.
This is not only manifested in the strictness of subordinates, but also in the sensitivity and aggressiveness of the market context.
"Something is wrong with such fluctuations..."
At this time, the light blue light emitted from the electronic screen made his face flicker a little, and his face, which should have maintained a calm and indifferent expression, immediately changed his face after seeing the beating data on it.
When Goldman Sachs reduced its shareholding on a large scale, it had already earned several times the principal of the year's investment, but this reduction was not to stop there, but to enter a new round of reshuffle.
And the reason why some shareholders can reduce their holdings so easily is because there is a problem with the management system formulated by Bai Xiaosheng at the beginning, and this kind of deliberately left loopholes, large enterprises like Goldman Sachs and Baimeng are not stupid, and they know that there must be something wrong with this.
So I honestly didn't plan to make trouble, just wait for the gradual appreciation of Facebook during the day, but I didn't expect that the chairman of Facebook during the day was actually attacked in Times Square and lost his memory because of it.
This is undoubtedly an opportunity for Goldman Sachs Group to take advantage of.
Although taking advantage of people's danger is not morally good, it is a matter of huge interests, not to mention taking advantage of people's danger to fall into the ground, even if there are not a few people who buy murderers.
When Bai Xiaosheng first lost his memory, some shareholders inside Facebook did not make too much trouble, but jumped appropriately, and then after the acting chairman came, he stopped directly.
However, this dissipation is only temporary, under the precipitation of time, the water of Facebook has become more turbid, it is not an exaggeration to say that the undercurrent is turbulent, investors from all sides are gambling and calculating risks, and this month is the official start of the difficulty, there is a great plan to suppress the stock price of Facebook to the freezing point.
In Goldman Sachs' calculations, it is necessary to completely short Facebook, so that the stock price of Facebook will fall to about $11 per share during the day before it reaches the bottom.
This is the best time for large-scale acquisitions, which can not only ensure the maximum benefits, but also obtain more than 50% of the absolute equity of Daytime Facebook.
At that time, there will be a majority of votes at the shareholders' meeting, and it will be easy to kick out the founder and replace the management class.
With 54 minutes to go until today's close, Facebook's stock price stopped falling during the day and began to rise slightly.
This is just a fluctuation in the market, and it is not worth making Hicks change his face, but after 1 minute, the stock price instantly adjusted from a drop of 8% to an increase of 3%, and instantly completed a rise of more than 10%.
From $13.1 per share, to $14.54 per share, it took only one minute.
Hicks' eyes were like torches, and he glanced at the data above.
The trading volume exceeded $100 million.
"Boss, Facebook's stock price has changed during the day. ”
A young man in Hicks' department stood up from a nearby desk and reported very seriously.
In the past few days, the turnover rate of Facebook during the day has been large, and some ordinary investors have panicked selling, so the hourly trading volume is ten times or even dozens of times more than in the past.
But in one minute, more than $100 million was bought, which is an extremely abnormal volatility.
Because there are only massive sell-offs of stocks these days, and there are hardly any large-scale buy-ins, this situation is very unusual.
All the information released in the market is all negative information for Facebook, regardless of the proportion of authenticity in it, as long as it constitutes intelligence and is known to other investment institutions, coupled with the ambiguous rendering of some industry media, it will become true.
Therefore, in this case, most investors who have not entered the market have a wait-and-see attitude at most, and do not dare to enter blindly at all, for fear of losing all their money.
And the investors who are trapped in it either choose to cut the meat with hatred and stop the loss, or honestly stay in it and pray that they can be untied.
In such a market environment, there will be a $100 million purchase?
This is naturally not a large amount for Goldman Sachs, but this kind of weird fluctuation should not occur at this time.
"Someone made a move, and the price began to be purchased, and the cards were not played according to common sense. Hicks frowned deeply, looked at the stocks that were beginning to turn green (U.S. stocks are green, which means rising), and commanded in a low voice: "Notify the information department and ask them to find out whose people's funds have entered the market? Is it Citigroup, or other small and medium-sized institutions?"
As for the funding from Daytime Facebook, the idea was fleeting and I didn't think deeply about it.
After all, the stock price at this time is very embarrassing, after all, it is in an extremely bearish situation, even if it is a temporary rebound, it will quickly fall back.
The total market value of Facebook during the day is as high as billions of dollars, and even if one or two hundred million dollars enter the market, what can it do?
What can be decided?
A small pull, and then it was quickly pressed down, that is, if you buy it, it is destined to be a loss, and it is not a little loss, and there is not even a chance to go.
The investors who are now entering the market are either stupid or philanthropic.
With the amount of funds of the LB Group behind Facebook, it is impossible to waste one or two hundred million US dollars on it at will, after all, tens of millions of US dollars may evaporate in a short period of time.
Even if Facebook entered the market, in Goldman Sachs' estimates, it would have fallen to nearly ten dollars per share before it could really fight them.
His subordinates immediately contacted the personnel of the information department, and the results were quickly transmitted.
"Boss, I found it..."After receiving the information, the young trader first looked dazed, and then a little surprised, he glanced at his boss with some melancholy, and said in a deep voice: "The source of funds is... LB Group. ”
For Goldman Sachs Group, almost no one can hide the objects of this kind of market transaction, after all, they have too many information channels, so many that they are the top in Flower Street.
"What?!" Hicks's sharp eyes instantly became gloomy, he first let out a shocked sound, and then immediately reacted: "It's LB Group's purchase... Something is wrong, at this time, a buy is a loss, they have recently invested in all walks of life, and there is definitely not much liquidity that can be withdrawn, and a part of the loss is a small part, and it is impossible to do such a stupid thing under normal circumstances. ”
LB Group has so much capital, and if it is acquired at this stock price now, it may not even receive 15% of the shares, and its chairman will still be proposed to the management at that time.
It can be said that it is completely useless, and it will lose a lot of money.
It's just that in this case, what is the purpose of LB Group?
