Chapter 251: Breaking News

……

"Wow...!"

After this scene made the people around him see it, they all exclaimed in surprise, but the tone of schadenfreude was thicker.

Oliver Balin was simply stunned. He never thought that the other party would fight back, especially in this more direct way!

Looking at the mocking eyes around him, Oliver Balin, who reacted, felt like a stupid clown standing on the stage and being ridiculed by everyone at the moment. This made him, who was born in a wealthy family and has always been proud, the only reason in his mind was instantly broken.

"You damn 'Yellow ~ Pi Pig'...!"

Looking at Oliver Balin, who was angry, did not choose to speak, and waved his fist at him, Guo Shouyun's eyes were cold, whether it was Guo Shouyun in his previous life or Bruce Guo in this life, he would never be polite to anyone who dared to insult himself.

So when he saw Oliver Balin punching his fist towards his head, Guo Shouyun, who has been practicing free fighting for a long time, stepped forward like lightning, quickly grabbed the opponent's arm, and then stretched out his left foot, and his arms were forcefully to the side. After gaining two or three meters in mid-air, he fell heavily to the ground with a 'boom'.

"Oh, My, god!

"That guy is so miserable, can he still stand up?"

"Hi buddy. Stand up like a man, you should stay the course......!"

The sound of various voices made the originally well-dressed, courteous and elegant luncheon instantly turn into a noisy and noisy boxing scene.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you!!"

Oliver Barin, with red eyes and a swollen nose, had completely lost his mind after getting up from the ground. However, when he was about to rush towards Guo Shouyun, the surrounding security guards who found that something unusual also rushed over.

"Bruce, what the hell is going on?"

Reed Hastings, who pushed away the crowd and walked to the center, looked at Guo Shouyun, and then looked at Oliver Balin, who was even more embarrassed and was still shouting under the obstruction of several security guards, asked in surprise and with a bitter look.

"That idiot owes clean up!" After glancing disdainfully at the struggling Oliver Balin, "Reed, I'm sorry to disrupt the Netflix listing reception! So I'll take my leave!"

Looking at Guo Shouyun's messy shirt and suit, Reed Hastings nodded.

"Why don't I have someone find you a dress to change into?"

"No need. ”

After waving his hand and saying goodbye, Guo Shouyun took Wendy and turned around and walked outside.

"Damn, you 'bastard', 'yellow pig', 'damn inferior', this matter won't just be settled!"

The piercing voice made Guo Shouyun's footsteps stop instantly, and he slowly turned around, "If you dare to scold again, even if someone stops you today, I will make you pay the price." ”

Looking at Guo Shouyun's oppressive cold eyes, and the resoluteness in his expression, Oliver Balin's expression froze, and a trace of fear instinctively appeared in his heart.

"Bruce, give me face. After all, today is the reception for Netflix's listing!"

Seeing that things were not good, Reed Hastings hurriedly walked over to stop him. He's so fucking bastard who put Oliver Balin on the guest list?

Guo Shouyun was unmoved, still staring at Oliver Balin with a cold expression.

"Today's events aren't going to end here!"

Knowing that he was not an opponent through the contest just now, Oliver Balin, who had calmed down a little, was not to be outdone.

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

After the words fell, Guo Shouyun turned around and walked out of the way where the crowd got out of the way.

Seeing them leave, Oliver Bahrain also fell silent. However, the mocking eyes around him made him extremely annoyed. Feeling ashamed, he didn't continue to stay. After snorting coldly, he also left here.

Looking at their backs, Reed Hastings frowned. His instincts told him that today's events would not end there.

"Interesting, it looks like we're going to have a good show in the next few days!

Stephen Bryan frowned, "I don't understand what you're talking about!"

After speaking, he didn't look at Bob Cunningham's expression, and turned around and left.

There was such a hot news of a fight at the reception party for the Netflix listing, and the two sides of the contest are now mixed reviews in the American business community, with the popular spicy chicken with the titles of genius and madman, and the heir to the lineage of the old aristocratic British Bahrain family. There was almost no doubt that within minutes of their departure, the news spread through the upper echelons of the United States. The next day, it was reported in the newspapers, and the whole United States knew about it. On the third day, newspapers around the world reprinted.

"Wow, fight, so excited!"

All in all, in short, Guo Shouyun, whose influence was limited to business circles or financial circles before, instantly became a well-known 'idol' for the public!

Soon, many third-rate tabloids dug up Guo Shouyun's experience of playing basketball and practicing sanda, and also dug up the martial arts or sports that Oliver Balin had contacted, and then openly put it in the newspaper to discuss which of them was more powerful. Even a casino in Las Vegas took the opportunity to advertise that they would be willing to offer a betting multiplier if Guo Shouyun fought Oliver Balin, and that they were willing to bear all the costs of the fight.

In the modern era of economic downturn after the NASDAQ crisis, this hype quickly became a hot topic of discussion among the public after dinner, and its popularity was higher than the Hollywood gossip of 'Sang Po and Gao Commander' about their romance!

Looking at the empty seat on the right, Geselle Schiff frowned, "What about your mother?"

"She's gone to see Oliver with Grant!" said William Schiff.

Geselle Schiff nodded, picked up his knife and fork and began cutting the steak on the plate.

Glancing at him, William Schiff said tentatively: "Father, Oliver is a relative of our family after all. Now that he's been beaten, shouldn't we say something about it?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Isn't Pan Pacific Group buying the Southern Company now, we can use the influence of the Schiff family to disrupt this acquisition and teach Bruce Guo a lesson!"

"Do you know who is driving the merger?" asked Geselle Schiff, after glancing at his eldest son, who he had cultivated and inherited the family business.

William Schiff frowned, he knew his father. If the other party asks like this, then there must be something that they have missed.

After carefully combing through the information in his mind, he had a flash of inspiration and subconsciously said: "Could it be Goldman Sachs and Morgan?"

After glancing at his son with satisfaction, "There are also Citigroup and Bank of America! In addition, Enron, Imperial Bank, and First Boston are all promoting this merger and acquisition project!"

"Bruce Guo has so much energy?" William Schiff was surprised.

"Bruce Kwok is certainly not an ordinary person. However, I suspect there must be a deeper reason than we know!"

"Goldman Sachs, Morgan, and Citi have always been unprofitable guys!" William Schiff nodded, "but apart from this merger, Bruce Guo doesn't seem to have any other weaknesses that can be exploited!"

"There is never a perfect world in the world, William, if you make up your mind to find it, you can find something!"

"What does Father mean...?"

"You forget, our family also has an 18.6% stake in New York Gas!"

New York Gas Company is a locally operated electricity, natural gas and steam utility in New York State, with a small number of customers in Pennsylvania, serving a total of about 3 million customers. As a veteran company in the last century, New York Gas Company, like the New York subway, is facing the problems of aging equipment, high energy consumption, and bloated personnel structure. Although it is still profitable, the annual net profit growth rate is not high.

"Although New York Gas has had a lot of problems, its returns have been relatively stable...!"

"There are a lot of businesses with stable returns, William. Also, don't just look at the United States, the world is huge!"

"If you sell New York Gas to Pan Pacific, will it really affect them? ”

"The company's equipment needs to be updated, and the wages of the workers need to be mentioned!" says Geselle Schiff indifferently.

"I see, father!" William Schiff said suddenly.

"You can go to Goldman Sachs or Citigroup about this matter, and I believe they are very willing to help. In addition, we will share our ideas with each other, and I believe that they will definitely learn and apply them. ”

"Yes... But what about Mother and Oliver's side? If we don't show an attitude at once, I'm afraid they'll complain!"

Geselle Schiff frowned, "What are your plans?"

"Oliver is not bad in the operation of Enron, although he lost some in the later period, but overall he still earned. Therefore, we can give him some of the funds to operate, which can be regarded as a comfort to him!"

"Two hundred million dollars at most!" After some thought, Geselle Schiff nodded.

"Yes!"

……

In order to avoid the manic media in the United States, Guo Shouyun had to return to the United Kingdom, accompanying Molly Bevan while handling the company's affairs through the phone and computer.

The demonstration of the 'Zheng Guoqu' project is nearing completion, and there is a detailed plan for the feasibility of the plan, the ratio of input to output, and the difficulties that will be faced in the future. Guo Shouyun, who made a fortune in gold futures, began to gradually tend to implement this plan. However, it is not yet time to implement it.

First, Enron has not yet reached the moment when the mountain is exhausted, and the price of admission is too great now. Second, at a time when the plan to acquire Southern was relatively smooth, it also brought financial pressure, and he also had to ensure that he had sufficient cash to maintain the operation of Pan Pacific Energy Group and deal with the threat of Goldman Sachs and Morgan. Third, he needs to keep a relatively good amount of liquidity and be ready to make another big deal before 9/11.

Backyard Garden, Exeter Bevan Manor. Molly Bevan, who has been pregnant for almost seven months, already has a big belly. So much so that when she walked every day, Guo Shouyun had to caress her carefully, for fear that she would have an accident. Guo Shouyun, who is a father for the first time, is extremely cautious.

"Tired?"

Molly Bevan shook her head, a happy smile on her pretty face full of maternal radiance. Now she's incredibly grateful for everything she has. Especially the doting on herself by the men around her, she felt that she didn't look at the wrong person at the beginning.

"It's almost time, let's go back!"

Molly Bevan nodded.

"Bruce, the baby is just over three months away. What do you think we should name him?"

"Hehe, I've already thought about this!" Guo Shouyun said with a wistful and excited smile on his face.

"Oh?"

Molly Bevan blinked, and looked inquiringly at the man next to her.

"If it's a girl, it's Elizabeth, if it's a boy, it's George!

"Elizabeth Bevan Kwok, George Bevan Kwok?"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "As for the Chinese name, if it is a girl, it will be called Guo Ruiyun, if it is a boy, it will be called Guo Ruigan!" The words fell, and glanced at Molly Bevan's belly, "It would be good if it were twins, so that both names can be used!"

Hearing this, Molly Bevan glanced at him, her lips moved, but after a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, she finally didn't say anything.

The two chatted about Guo Shouyun's name for the child, and walked slowly to the villa. Because the first floor of Bevin House is a bar, and the second floor is the unique structure of the living area. Meaning, Molly Bevan has to go up and down the stairs every time she goes home. Before, when her belly was not big, it was just that. Now after the stomach is swollen, it is difficult to move, and it is even more dangerous to go up and down the stairs. Therefore, Guo Shouyun used a lot of charcoal, and finally reduced the formaldehyde index of the entire manor to a level that he could accept. At the same time, Molly Bevan also moved from Bevan's house.

After sending her back to the room and settling down, Guo Shouyun returned to the study on the second floor. Normally, he would accompany Molly Bevan until half past nine in the morning, and then come to the study to work.

Taking out the materials prepared yesterday, Guo Shouyun looked at the time, and then picked up the phone on the table. Yesterday, he made an appointment to hold a conference call with the senior management of Hanhua at 10 o'clock this morning.

"Boss!"

The phone was quickly connected, and Zhang Lei's voice came.

"Has everyone arrived?" Guo Shouyun said.

"It's all here!"

"That's good, let's get started!"

After the words fell, Guo Shouyun adjusted the phone to the public, leaned on the back of the sofa, and focused his attention.

“… In the past six months, under the wise leadership of the chairman, the company's total assets under management have increased from $127 million in the previous year to $954 million now. The pre-tax profit has increased from less than 10 million US dollars last year to 147 million US dollars now! The growth rate of total assets is 651.18%, and the growth rate of pre-tax profit is 1370%...!"

Obviously, the balance sheet of the company is dazzling, because the money made by the Hanhua fund in gold speculation and the Champions League football lottery is as high as 600 million US dollars! According to the 20% share ratio, Hanhua can at least increase the pre-tax profit by 120 million yuan.

As for the rest of the money, it is naturally Guo Shouyun's wealth. It is an asset managed by GCA, but it is not the net assets of GCA.

After Zhang Lei introduced Hanhua's overall revenue and profit in the first half of the year, Guo Shouyun did not speak. Therefore, according to the normal flow of the meeting, Guo Zhen, CEO of GCA Capital, began to make a report.
