Chapter 289: Destroying You Has Nothing to Do with You
SMIC's affairs have not yet been dealt with, but with Zhang Yujing's help and the status of a major shareholder, there will be no problems. Li Yinan, chairman of Spreadtrum, joined SMIC's board of directors on behalf of Sixiang Fund, and Zhou Shi had no intention of performing large-scale surgery on SMIC for the time being, and Zhou Shi had to rush back to Wall Street when the subprime mortgage crisis entered deep waters.
On the plane, Zhou Shi saw the box office of "The Dark Knight", which exceeded one billion dollars worldwide, becoming the third in film history, and did not shrink the box office at all because of the addition of Huang Bai. I don't know if Huang Bai's position in the film and television industry has improved, and whether he can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood. Zhou Shi didn't plan to make any more moves, and the rest depended on the level of Zhang Zhao and Huang Bai. After all, China is the foundation, and Hollywood is a big stage to break the personal restrictions of actors. With a good start, if they can't grasp it, then they can only blame themselves.
Marvel's next superhero movie is Captain America and Thor, and the project has already begun. With the addition of Zhou Shi, Marvel is no longer a small company to be bullied, and even if Disney wants to limit the development of Marvel, it is difficult to directly start from the funds. Iron Man America's box office revenue has arrived, and Kevin is relieved to plan the next phase of development. Zhou Shi promised that if there was a lack of funds after the film was launched, Galaxy Capital would make up for it. Marvel's two superhero movies together are not as strong as one DC Comics superhero, which makes them a little disappointed, but unfortunately most of Marvel's heroes have no deep connotation, so they can only wait until the Avengers let more than a dozen superheroes beat DC.
Zhou Shi didn't buy a direct flight to New York this time, so he had to choose a midway transfer in order to be in a hurry, which was very troublesome. After Lehman went bankrupt, it was time to buy a few planes, a few cruise ships. Anyway, there are too many rich people who are bankrupt or about to go bankrupt at this time, and it is very difficult for them to deal with the plane cruise ships they ordered before at this time, so they can buy a business jet for Galaxy Capital, Time, Guoke, and even Spreadtrum and SMIC. Although it is not as luxurious as the aircraft of Bill Gai and Google, it must also match its own value.
"What's the matter, it's getting more and more exciting!" Zhou Shi saw Lu He and saw that he had a dark circle under his eyes, but he looked excited.
"Haha, it's really not even safe to sleep at this time. "Lu He
"You are not stable anymore, so it can be seen that it is more difficult for others to be stable. "Zhou Shi
"Hehe, by the way, we didn't always say that we wanted to make Lehman bankrupt, why didn't we take action?"
"Do you want to do it?" Zhou Shi asked inexplicably
"Not really, mainly because they've been getting closer to Bank of America lately. I don't know if they will take advantage of this to turn over. "Lu He
"Now Lehman's loss is not a secret on Wall Street," Zhou Shi asked rhetorically, Galaxy Capital Suzaku Fund has a lot of Lehman middle and high-level personnel, not to mention other financial institutions. In the previous life, Da Mo and Goldman Sachs inevitably made many of their core secrets known to everyone in the layoffs, can Lehman Brothers keep them strictly secret?
"Yes, I know, but there are still many people who have illusions. "Lu He
"Who are the main people?" Zhou Shi then asked
"Bank of America, Barclays. "Lu He
"Let Gregory keep in touch with Lehman. Zhou Shi thought for a while and said.
"Do we need to do something?"
"What are your plans?" Zhou Shi
"Shall we contact Bank of America?"
"Is our status so that we can contact the top management of Bank of America?" Zhou Shi thought, the assets under management of a company like Bank of America are tens of trillions of dollars, and Galaxy Capital is much worse than them, with a scale of tens of billions of dollars.
"You underestimate us too much, there are not many people on Wall Street who can make so much money, even Wall Street is not as good as us, success is our greatest capital. "Lu He
"In that case, let's contact Merrill Lynch directly. Zhou Shi remembered that after the subprime mortgage crisis in his previous life, Merrill Lynch became Bank of America Merrill Lynch. It can be seen from this name that Bank of America and Merrill Lynch merged, although Zhou Shi did not know when they merged, but judging from the current situation, it is the most beneficial choice for Zhou Shi to promote cooperation between the two sides. Galaxy Capital has openly sung about Lehman, and so far it has only been singing about Lehman in the media and shorting the stock market, and some conventional means have not provoked Lehman's overreaction. The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, whether it is the background of the network or the credibility, Galaxy Capital is not as good as Lehman, Zhou Shi does not want to waste too many resources on what will inevitably happen.
"The five major investment banks on Wall Street, except for Da Mo and Goldman Sachs, are all in danger of bankruptcy, Bear Stearns is finished, and the next one is either Lehman or Merrill Lynch, and there is not much help for them, and Bank of America is their best choice. Of course, Zhou Shi knew that there was no suitable reason to convince Lu He and these new elites, and the rapid expansion of personnel, the secrecy of the company was difficult to guarantee, and now almost everything would run under the "sunshine". This is also the inevitable development of the company, and Zhou Shi has been prepared in his heart.
"What we're doing now is to make Merrill Lynch aware of their danger, and they will naturally be more anxious than we are. As for what Lehman's bankruptcy has to do with us, I don't think it has anything to do with it at all. Zhou Shi said seriously, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden.
"It has nothing to do with you to destroy you?" Lu He
"We don't have much trouble with Lehman, but we still have a lot of cooperation. Can we give them more help at this time to alleviate their financial difficulties?" Zhou Shi turned his head and said to Lu He seriously.
"Cooperation, what cooperation?" Lu He was not fooled by Zhou Shi, he was the first to say that he wanted to bankrupt Lehman, and now it is obviously not a good thing to say cooperation.
"For example, their assets in Huaxia, such as the equity of Friends, etc. "Zhou Shi
"Now is a good opportunity, but after they go bankrupt, isn't the time better?" Lu He hesitated
"Are you sure Lehman will go bankrupt?" Zhou Shi said meaningfully
"If Lehman hadn't gone bankrupt, we would still have a conflict with them!"
"What's the matter, Lehman, whose strength has been greatly reduced, happens to be the object of our sharpening. Moreover, Lehman will not be the only investment bank in the United States, and they will not be the only opponent of us. Zhou Shi can always find a few high-sounding reasons
"Then we'll contact Merrill Lynch now, um~, and Lehman. "Lu He
"But before that, make an appointment with Gregory. "Zhou Shi
"Ask him what to do, he may not be busy right now. "Lu He
"I think we can work more together. "Zhou Shi
"More in-depth cooperation!" Lu He muttered to himself, and Zhou Shi smiled silently.
