In this stock sniper battle, Baimon's contribution was not much, and most of his strength was actually made by the behemoth Goldman Sachs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Founded in 1869, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. is one of the oldest and largest investment banks in the world. Headquartered on Wall Street in New York, with branches in Tokyo, London and Hong Kong, and 41 offices in 23 countries, the market is widely distributed and there are many elites, which are not comparable to ordinary burst-of-wealth enterprises.

Goldman Sachs belongs to a normal group, not a consortium or chaebol, because this large group is not controlled by a few people or individuals, and does not have the characteristics of a consortium or chaebol.

LB Group is known as the chaebol in the industry, that is, although the entire group has enterprises in different fields, but there is only one person in actual control.

That is Bai Xiaosheng, who is young but can overcome obstacles all the way.

As an investment bank, LB Group has developed very rapidly, and its platform is getting bigger and bigger, like a snowball.

It's just that it has only been developed for a few years, and the foundation and capital are naturally insufficient. Coupled with the fact that LB Group is essentially a multinational company, it is even more difficult for LB Group to take root in the United States, not to mention the number of competitors it faces.

But even so, LB Group has survived, growing from an ordinary enterprise to the level of a chaebol in this place where the mall is like a battlefield.

From an objective point of view, Goldman Sachs and LB are like seniors and newcomers, eagles and young eagles, and the gap is very obvious.

This is obvious, not only in the total amount of capital, but also in the connections, channels, intelligence, technology, status and other factors, just the connection with the superior buildings in the United States, is not comparable to the LB Group.

But the lion fights the rabbit, and it still has to use all his strength, not to mention that Bai Xiaosheng's personal information is often secretly analyzed by these companies, even if he has arrogance and prejudice at the beginning, but witnessing the rise of the other party will generally throw away those superfluous emotions.

The fact that Facebook alone can swim against the current when the Internet bubble is not over and the market is declining is enough to shock many people.

When the Internet bubble burst in 2000, the market value of Amazon and Yahoo fell by 80-90%, and the booking website Priceline even plummeted by 96%.

And during the day, Facebook was fighting its way out of the encirclement when the American Internet market was at its weakest.

After the market picked up, Silicon Valley began to enter a period of rapid development, which just shows how far-sighted and prescient the helmsman of LB Group is.

Goldman Sachs' capital this time is not too much, but it is very rigorous, with a budget of about 1.5 billion US dollars.

Coupled with Baimon and several other investment institutions, it is enough to crush the LB Group, which is seriously short of liquidity.

It's just that sometimes, in the ever-changing business world, any mistake in information intelligence may bring subversive failure.

Within the company, all departments are operating in an orderly manner at this time.

At this time, the company is holding a general meeting of shareholders and is always concerned about the issue of stock sniping.

Starting from the large-scale reduction of the stake in Daytime Facebook, Baimeng Company has to bear a lot of risks, of course, even if this hostile takeover fails, it will not lose too much.

The most serious outcome is that the shareholders of Facebook will be kicked out during the day.

Dave, the CEO of Bemont, is a very Sven man, with brown-rimmed glasses and blue eyes with these majestic emotions, he flipped through the information at hand and asked, "Is there any movement on the LB Group?"

"Not yet. The message from Goldman Sachs said that the people of the Citigroup had just left Facebook, and it was not known what was discussed, but we should remain vigilant. ”

A high-ranking member said this after receiving the message from his subordinates.

A female senior executive frowned: "Is the Citigroup trying to be the 'knight' of Facebook this time?" If Citi really intervenes, with the strength of this old financial giant, this water will be even more muddy." ”

The so-called 'knight' is an act of frustration and hindrance by the closely related enterprises to help the target enterprise and participate in the acquisition competition through channels and relationships.

After thinking for a few seconds, another high-level executive echoed: "Citigroup is one of the top ten conglomerates in the United States and one of the Big Four on Wall Street. ”

Citibank is not the only company under the Citi consortium.

It is the first financial group in the United States that integrates commercial banking, investment banking, insurance, mutual funds, securities trading, etc., and many other financial services.

It has a long history and a huge capital, which is more than dozens of times the size of LB Group.

"Whether Citi is a 'knight' or not is just a hypothesis, and we have no way of knowing whether LB is really in Citi's eyes, but now there is a key question, that is, about the new chaebol at the helm, Miss Bai. ”

Jackson sat next to him, with a laptop in front of him, and the screen in it flashed as he played the "Find the Next Hero" talent show.

He adjusted the screen so that everyone around him could see the scene inside.

In the show, a picturesque female singer is standing on the stage, singing a shocking song "Tell Me Why" in front of a large number of audiences.

The voice is ethereal, like a heavenly sound, and even without accompaniment, it is still beautiful, and it does not look like a human singing voice at all.

Several high-level people around looked at each other, as if they didn't understand Jackson's thoughts.

"Look, this young girl who doesn't talk like her, is it true amnesia or fake amnesia?" Jackson glanced at the CEO next to him, frowned a little hesitantly, and said to many high-level executives around him: "This is the video of her on the show two days ago, it is an anti-war track, and it is very popular on the Internet." The United States is mired in war, and many non-governmental organizations in various countries are demonstrating and demonstrating, and her type of music has a great impact on public opinion. ”

But when Bai Xiaosheng was singing, her worth evaporated hundreds of millions of dollars, could she really stand on it with a blind eye? This is not a small amount, even if it is Citigroup or Goldman Sachs, if it loses so much in a few hours, it will definitely be heart-wrenching. But when you look at her expression when she performs, she doesn't take it seriously at all. ”

CEO Dave glanced at it roughly, then moved his gaze to Jackson, and asked calmly: "If that's the case, she may really have amnesia, then Jackson, where are your doubts?"

"I don't think Miss Bai has amnesia, even if she does, her subordinates don't have amnesia, it's impossible to even hide their identity, right?" Jackson frowned deeply, fine wrinkles squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, his expression was a little uneasy, and he said in a deep voice: "My intuition tells me that this Miss Bai may be pretending to have amnesia... Dave, I always feel that things are not that simple, and I think we need to tighten up our strategy a little bit to avoid surprises. ”

As a middle-aged man who has been in the financial field for many years, Jackson's experience has taught him that in many cases, intuitive judgments are much more accurate than technical analysis.
