Chapter 90 Distribution of Benefits

……

Guo Shouyun is not stupid. He didn't think that today's long conversation really made John Jamison regard him as a close friend.

All he wants is to win the interest of this fellow with deep connections on Wall Street to explore him through the union and exchange of interests. In the subsequent time, through more exchanges, as well as the exchange of interests, the relationship between the two changed from strangers to allies.

Compared with the ethereal friendship of friends and brotherhood, Wall Street people are more willing to believe in the union of interests, and Guo Shouyun is the same.

Therefore, when faced with a major interest choice, he will not simply give up his own interests and choose Goldman Sachs because of the existence of John Jamison.

took a deep look at the young and calm guy in front of him, after today's long talk, and what he said just now, the other party's impression and status in his heart have undoubtedly deepened a lot. At the same time, it also made him understand that the young man in front of him was not so easy to fool. This is also a 'bastard' who believes in the supremacy of profit and pursues utilitarianism!

However, he likes this kind of bastard, because he is familiar with how such people should interact, and he also knows how to ensure his own interests while satisfying the other party's appetite.

"Bruce, thank you very much, I will cherish this trust!"

"I cherish your friendship with John, too!"

Later, after Guo Shouyun and John Jamison briefly chatted about some interesting things on Wall Street, they dispersed.

……

The next day, Guo Shouyun came to the office of Phoenix Asset Management again.

"Boss, this is the compiler and background check of Storm Asset Management, Saturn Asset Management, and Centaur Hedge Fund. ”

"So soon?"

Guo Shouyun took it and looked at it twice, and said in surprise.

"I've been on Wall Street for nearly 30 years, and although I haven't achieved anything earth-shattering, I still have some connections!" laughs William Chang.

"Not bad!"

Guo Shouyun nodded with satisfaction.

"In a few days, John Jamison will send $400,000 to the account of Saturn Asset Management, and my $5 million will also go to the account of the Centaur hedge fund this afternoon. In the rest of the period, the investment target of the Saturn and Centaur hedge funds is gold, and you are responsible for the specific operation!"

"BOSS, I have an investment opportunity here that is more noteworthy than gold!" After nodding, William Zhang hesitated for a moment and said.

"Oh, tell me?"

"Yes... The merger of RB Daiichi Bank, Fuji Bank, and RB Industrial Bank is now attracting attention from financial circles around the world. If they can merge successfully, the new company will overtake Deutsche Bank with total assets of $1.5 trillion to become the world's largest financial group, and I think we can take advantage of it. ”

After listening, Guo Shouyun thought for a while and suddenly said, "Is the new merged company called Ruihui Financial?"

"The boss knows, too?" said William Chang in surprise.

Guo Shouyun nodded.

Of course, he knew about Ruihui Financial, but he forgot the specific time when this RB financial giant appeared. After all, 2000 is nearly 20 years away from October 2019, and there are very few major events that he can remember about what happened in 2000, except for the NASDAQ crisis. As for the Enron scandal being remembered by him, it is thanks to the N more online novels he read on the Internet. Because, almost every urban business article involving the Internet will write about the acquisition of Blizzard, and the acquisition of Blizzard will involve Vidiwang, and when it comes to Vidiwang, we have to mention the Enron of 'difficult brothers'.

"Since you think Ruihui Financial is an opportunity, let's do it with the $5.4 million in the 'Saturn Asset Management Plan' and the 'Centaur Hedge Fund'. However, the leverage cannot exceed 2 times. After thinking about it, Guo Shouyun made a decision.

As for the situation of Ruihui Financial, he is not as sure as Enron of the operation, so he is not prepared to bet heavily on it.

"Understood!"

William Chang nodded. Although $5.4 million is not much, it can make a lot of money if you operate it well.

"In the past two days, you can take some time to sort out the negative information we have collected about Enron's operation, and then hand it over to John Jamison!" Looking at William Zhang's surprised eyes, Guo Shouyun said calmly, "Enron's cake is very big, and our family can't eat it." Giving some to Goldman Sachs can also win over an ally, and by the way, they can share the pressure on Enron. ”

"Boss scared of Enron's 'dog jumping off the wall'?" John Jamison frowned.

"If you want to destroy a man, first make him mad. The reason why Enron hasn't reacted too violently to our big short selling is because the impact of our short selling on their stock price is not too great. But that won't last long. ”

"As soon as Goldman Sachs entered, I'm afraid Enron won't be as stable as it is now!" William Chang nodded in agreement.

As one of the top five investment banks on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs' strength lies not only in its huge capital at its disposal, but also in its strong influence in the financial circle.

The phoenix is short, and there are few people who accompany it. However, Goldman Sachs is short, and large and small financial institutions and international investors will definitely have a lot of options to follow up. The most important thing is that Enron is now like a broken car that will fall apart at any time, although the appearance is intact, but the inside has long been rotten, and it can't stand up to inspection at all.

"Then do we need to win over a few more?" said William Zhang.

"No, it is enough to have the Goldman Sachs family! There is a number of meat on a fat pig, and if the two families eat it separately, they can eat it to their heart's content, and they can also satisfy both families. But if we add more people, it may not be necessary! Moreover, our strength is limited now, so don't think about playing tricks and playing balance for the time being. Honestly cooperating with Goldman Sachs to ensure our own interests at the same time, holding this alliance is the way to survive for Phoenix now. Guo Shouyun said with a deep gaze.

On Wall Street, he and Phoenix are both newcomers, and although they have enough money, they lack roots. In this case, the best way to avoid being crushed and swallowed by those giants is to find a thigh that is thick enough. As the saying goes, 'it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree', Guo Shouyun chose the big tree of Goldman Sachs. Moreover, Goldman Sachs has a deeper influence in American politics than his original target of cooperation, 'Merrill Lynch'.

"Got it!"

Looking at the stiff side face of the young boss in front of him, William Chang's understanding of him deepened again. In addition to his amazing talent, the other party also has a skill and city government that people of this age group are extremely lacking.

"I'm going back to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow, and you'll be in charge of Phoenix's affairs, so remember to call me in time if you have something." ”

William Chang nodded and didn't ask more.

……

September 25, 2000, Matrix Pictures Office, Santa Monica, Los Angeles.

"Thanks to everyone's hard work during this time, our first film at Matrix Pictures, "Smart: Ghost Shadows", was a box office hit, earning $132 million in 38 days since its release on August 18. Therefore, I decided to take out $2 million as a bonus according to your position and contribution after the theater share is received, and reward you for your efforts and hard work during this time!"

"Long live the boss!"

"Boss, I love you!" ......

Before Guo Shouyun finished speaking, warm applause and cheers rang out in the office area of Matrix Pictures. There is nothing more appealing than naked interest!

After smiling and waving his hand, signaling everyone to calm down, Guo Shouyun said: "There will be more new films released in our company in the future, and everyone must perform their duties and work hard." As long as the grades are outstanding, I will not skimp on rewards... Okay, that's all for today's meeting, let's get busy!"

After the words fell, Guo Shouyun beckoned, took Buddy Morris to the office, and sat down in the reception area.

"Buddy, how is the global distribution of Spirit: Ghost Record?"

"We are in contact with English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia that will be released this year. The rest of Europe is still in contact, and South and East Asian countries may have to wait until next year. However, with the North American box office of our "Smart: Ghost Record", it is not difficult to distribute internationally. ”

Thanks to the support of two strong Internet platforms, 'Google' and 'LinkedIn News', coupled with the publicity effect brought by the physical novels he wrote, although the cost of investment and publicity of Matrix Pictures' "Smart: Ghost Shadow" is higher, the box office has also surpassed the results of the later "Smart: Ghost Shadow".

"In half a month, the share of the theater chain will be received. I still have this money, so don't touch it for now. ”

"I understand!"

Buddy Morris nodded.

"What's the progress of the company's other films?"

"The fastest is James's "Chainsaw", which is basically guaranteed to be released on Halloween. Robert's Legally Blonde is a little slower, presumably until Christmas. Lin's "Fast and Furious" will be released in February next year at the earliest!"

"Is there any response from Mr. Ang Lee?"

"The other party has already agreed, and the contract will be signed in a few days. Now the editorial department is cooperating with the other party to prepare the script of "Fifty Shades of Grey"!"

Guo Shouyun nodded knowingly. Ang Lee is a typical literary film director, and in his last life, he filmed "Lust ~ Caution" that impressed Guo Shouyun deeply. So at present, it seems that SM, with its literary temperament, "Fifty Shades of Grey" is very suitable for Ang Lee's path.

"How much to invest?"

"25 million!"

Now the dollar is not as depreciated as it was later, and $25 million is enough.

"Knock...!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Boss, it's almost time!"

Wendy, who pushed the door in, reminded.

Guo Shouyun nodded and stood up.

"Buddy, you'll be in charge of the company's affairs. After a pause, Guo Shouyun straightened his clothes, "I see your efforts at work." When the company is listed, I will give you 2%~5% options, as for how much you can get, it depends on your later work performance. ”

"Thank you, boss, I'll try to manage the company well!" said Buddy Morris.

Through the unimaginable box office of "Smart: Ghost Shadow", he also saw the company's brilliant prospects in the future, and if he got the option before the matrix was listed, it would definitely be a huge income.

Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked out.
