Chapter 107: Jeff Bezos

……

"Boss, are we just leaving?"

After lunch, Wendy Solo couldn't help but ask on the way back to the hotel by car.

"Any questions?"

Looking at his surprised eyes, Wendy couldn't help but remind, "You didn't catch anything when you went to Amazon this time!"

"Who's to say, didn't we know Bezos! And we had a good conversation. Also, don't you always want me to build my own network, and this time I did what you suggested. Guo Shouyun smiled.

"What about equity? They resolutely rejected us!"

"Refusal now is not the same as refusal forever, good things are grinding, take your time!" When the words fell, a smile appeared on Guo Shouyun's face. Although Jeff Bezos was cleanly rejected by him for his investment request, it gave him a new idea in his mind.

"By the way, I'm going to Jeff's house tomorrow as a guest, remember to remind me in the morning!" The words fell, looking at Wendy Solow's straight eyes, Guo Shouyun touched his face in surprise, "I had dirty things on my face just now when I ate?"

"No!" Wendy Solo shook her head and said slowly, "Boss, after following you for so long, it's the first time I've noticed that you are really thick-skinned!"

Guo Shouyun couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing this, he knew that Wendy Solo was talking about what he had just said when he was having dinner and he took the initiative to visit Bezos' house the next day.

"You'll understand your boss's foresight in the future!"

Jeff Bezos is the famous 'Beck Leader' in later generations, a world-class business giant comparable to Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, and his influence in American politics and business is definitely the top.

Jeff Bezos, Larry Page, Sergey Brin! These are the four figures that Guo Shouyun is trying to win over in every possible way, and they are the core of his network in the future. The latter two of them have already been won, and Ao Guanhai is not completely strange.

"It seems that tomorrow's meeting will have to come up with some 'dry goods'!" Guo Shouyun thought thoughtfully. For a shrewd and tough guy like Jeff Bezos, if you want to be friends with him, you have to have the talent to impress him. And with more than ten years of experience in later generations, Guo Shouyun's conceit is still able to hold the current 'Bei Sect Master'!

"Have you seen any recent movement from Apple?"

Thinking of Jeff Bezos, Guo Shouyun couldn't help but think of another giant he valued.

"They're selling their 'Mackintosh PC' in all directions!" said Wendy Solo after a moment's pause.

The Mackintosh PC was Apple's biggest Waterloo in the first few years of the 21st century, and it was discontinued less than a year after it went public, causing Apple's stock price to fall continuously, and even the emergence of the epoch-making iPad did not completely change. However, this is good news for Phoenix, which is buying Apple shares from the secondary market.

Guo Shouyun nodded and said in his heart: "I don't know how far Apple's iPad has been developed? Why hasn't anyone come to me until now?... Don't be self-defeating!"

In order to catch the big fish of 'Joe Gang Master', he had already registered a patent for the appearance and even the use of materials of the classic iPad developed by Apple, and waited for Apple to come to the door.

"Continue to follow Apple's dynamics for me, and remember to notify me of any important news. ”

Wendy Solo nodded. She already knew that her boss was interested in Apple, and she didn't bother to ask the reason again. After all, after following Guo Shouyun for so long, he has long been accustomed to his mystery.

"Matthew turns around and goes to the outlets!"

"Outlets, what are you doing there?"

After glancing at the man with a look of surprise, Wendy Solo explained, "We can't go empty-handed to visit Bezos' house tomorrow, right?"

"Fortunately, I was reminded by you, otherwise I would have forgotten about it!" Guo Shouyun suddenly patted his forehead, "By the way, what do you think we should prepare?"

"We don't know much about Mr. Bezos's family. So prepare a good bottle of wine bar, so that it is neither too ostentatious nor easy for people to turn things wrong!"

After thinking for a while, Guo Shouyun nodded.

"When it comes to gift-giving, you women are always more talented than men!"

"Can I understand that as a compliment?"

"Of course!"

After taking a serious look at him, Wendy Solo shook her head, "I really wonder how you found those previous girlfriends!"

The two chatted without a word, and came to Seattle Oslet. Although it is a relatively high-end consumption place, I did not find what Guo Shouyun wanted. Later, after tipping the guy who bought red wine at the counter, I found out about the specialty store of high-end red wine in Seattle from the other party. Then I bought a bottle of their most expensive 90 year old genuine Latour!

By the time they got back to the hotel, it was already evening. At the beginning of November, although the weather was not cold due to Seattle's temperate maritime climate, it was getting darker earlier.

After dinner, seeing that it was not yet time to talk to Molly Bevan on the phone, he prepared to write the outline of "The Big Bang Theory", and when Wendy recruited people, he asked them to write according to the outline, and he reviewed it after writing. This is an infinite number of times faster than doing it yourself. As for the level of the article, as long as it is above the average, what he values is the film and television copyright of this book.

In any case, take the 'pit' first.

"If it weren't for the fact that "Prison Break" had already been written, it would have been dealt with accordingly!" Guo Shouyun said in his heart.

Since deciding to let someone else ghostwrite, Guo Shouyun is not as diligent in writing as before. Of course, this is also an understandable thing, laziness is human nature.

"Knock...!"

Not long after Guo Shouyun started writing, there was a knock on the door. Soon, Wendy, who was wearing a women's professional dress, pushed the door and walked in. Looking at her serious expression, Guo Shouyun realized that something was wrong.

Really!

"Boss, I just received a call from Enron CEO Jeffrey Jilin...!"

"What do you say?" Guo Shouyun frowned.

He said: Enron has given you enough time. If you can't give him an answer within three days, then Enron will take the necessary steps to protect its legitimate interests!"

"Is this to tear his face?" Guo Shouyun's expression instantly became silent, he didn't know if Jeffrey Jilin's phone call was just a threat or if he really intended to do it. But what surprised him was that Enron should be dealing with the crisis of Goldman Sachs shorting with all his energy at this time, how could he still have the energy to pay attention to him?

Thinking of this, Guo Shouyun took out his mobile phone and dialed William Zhang's number.

"Boss!"

"William, what's been going on on Wall Street lately?"

"You mean Enron?"

"That's right!"

"The latest news is that Enron is negotiating a large loan with **** and Bank of America, but there is no announcement agreed by the three parties yet!" William Chang replied.

"Once this loan is reached, Enron's stock is afraid to stop falling and rebound!" Guo Shouyun instantly recalled.

"Rest assured, boss, now that Enron's stock price has fallen to $63 per share, even if it recovers, it will not touch our warning line, and there is no need for margin calls at all! Besides, with the current situation of Enron, how can Morgan and Bank of America still provide loans to it?"

"William, you should understand that many times, with the influence of **** and Bank of America, they don't need to pay money, they only need to announce to the market that they will provide a large 'loan' to Enron, and they can easily pull up the other party's stock price!"

To put it bluntly, the capital market is a game of confidence. Even if Enron is a, but now it is still an S&P 500 constituent stock on the surface, plus **** and Bank of America and several other financial giants have joined forces to guarantee it, the public who do not know the truth will naturally have confidence in Enron's stock.

"If this is the case, I am afraid that Enron's problem will be exposed, and financial institutions such as **** and Bank of America will not be able to escape the court's sanctions!"

"As long as the harvest exceeds the opportunity cost, then the law will lose its meaning! William, you should know this truth better than me in more than 20 years on Wall Street!"

William Chang Moran, he is no stranger to Marx's "Capital", and he has personally participated in the filth of Wall Street financial institutions.

"Boss, just in this way, we will stand on the opposite side of financial institutions such as **** and Bank of America, and the pressure will be even greater. ”

"Of course I know this, but do we still have a choice now?" Guo Shouyun said calmly.

Phoenix has invested $540 million in shorting Enron, leveraging more than $3 billion in capital. Moreover, because of the news provided by Guo Shouyun, Goldman Sachs also made a heavy bet on shorting Enron. If he withdraws now, he will undoubtedly offend Goldman Sachs. Let's not talk about the money he invested in going long Goldman Sachs, just the word Goldman Sachs made him have to pay attention to it. You must know that although Goldman Sachs is not as good as Da Mo and Merrill Lynch, after the subprime mortgage crisis, Goldman Sachs is a well-deserved 'king of Wall Street', and even Da Mo has to avoid its edge for a while, Guo Shouyun does not want to set up such a big enemy for himself.

"Is there anything I need to do?"

Knowing that the phoenix had no way out, William opened his mouth after a moment of silence.

"You can visit the CEOs of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley for me, and you can consult LinkedIn and Google about the listing!"

William Zhang was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood the meaning of Guo Shouyun's words.

"I'll do it tomorrow!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun sighed and said in his heart: "I hope these two temptations can make them help me in the matter of safety!"
