Chapter 692: The British's Dismount

For Apple's choice to breach the contract and pay the price to fill the deep hole left by Ping An Di, although from that aspect, Andy took advantage, but in his opinion, it is also a helpless choice, after all, both game companies and app stores need the carrier of crazy mobile phones.

However, I think that in less than half a year, it is just a paper agreement to anger Apple's liquidated damages of 300 million US dollars, at least in the short term, it is definitely a good deal, without input and output, the consumption of manpower and material resources, you can get a huge amount of money, no matter how you look at it, you will not suffer.

Besides, this is just the beginning, after all, on the way to pit Apple, Andy has decided to go all the way to the dark, and the best way to suck blood from Apple is to work on its stock value.

As for the loss of the app store due to Apple's possible default, Andy is not too worried, the negotiations, at least for a while, as long as it is delayed until November, then Android will release the source code, and then you can focus on the Android system.

According to Apple's greed, it is conceivable what kind of sharing agreement its app store will set up, although it can occupy the official advantage, but to put it bluntly, it is still necessary to open the way for interests, and there will naturally be a price war to grab resources.

Listening to Michael Wright's several plans, Andy is still relatively satisfied, although Apple has decided to open its own app store, but it will take at least a few months to go on the market, and Michael Wright guessed that the most likely is that when the new crazy phone is launched, it will be listed at the same time, so it will start negotiations now to terminate the contract of the Free City APP for the embedded love crazy phone.

This period of time is enough to establish the market position and share of the Free City, after all, there will be more and more companies involved in this application software market in the future, and no one can eat alone.

The night sky was pitch black, some gray clouds were as ethereal as a swirling galaxy, accompanied by many stars, and the moon hung in a dusk crescent moon on the dark curtain.

Andy, dressed in loose casual clothes, boarded the plane to London with three female assistants, who were also dressed in comfortable casual clothes.

In the first class, the stewardess kindly helped Andy adjust the seat, spread a thick blanket, put the pillow, and then repeatedly confirmed that he had no other needs before leaving, Andy smiled faintly, took off his shoes, put up the pillow, lay on the seat, and picked up the detailed report of the Predator team on the British financial market hedging and looked at it.

In fact, when he was playing in the playground with two little beauties in Las Vegas, he received a depositor run on the fifth largest mortgage lender in the United Kingdom, Northaway Rock Bank.

As the financial crisis deepened, the United Kingdom, which had always believed that the market should not be bailed out and that the government should not interfere in the financial market, finally began to taste the bitter wine brewed by themselves.

On Sept. 14, Northhang Rock issued a profit warning, pointing out that interest rates had risen unexpectedly, credit contraction had slowed asset growth, and pre-tax profit for the whole of 2007 was expected to be about 20% lower than expected.

The predator group, which has chosen these mortgage lenders as target hedges early on, has been buying off financial experts and some media to question the earnings of these banks holding US subordinated bonds since September, and various analyses and declines to shake the confidence of the British people.

To say that these methods are simply familiar to this group of people from Wall Street, not too simple, no matter who leads the way to start singing down, creating panic, and preparing a full meal of international travel money and hot money have begun to fuel this hype in their own ways.

It seems to be a feeble shouting all day long, singing about the British banking industry, but in fact, all the sharks cruising at the bottom of the sea are waiting for the inadvertent blood.

The profit warning of Northrock Bank is undoubtedly the smell of blood that makes this shark school begin to boil and compete for prey, and the bought experts and media began to sing harder, and the people who were already shaken by their confidence began to choose to withdraw because of doubts and worries, and when a Northaway Rock Bank was withdrawn from cash and chose to refuse to withdraw from the people, the media began to add fuel to the fire, doing various on-site reports and direct hits, which completely detonated the panic of the British people.

Since the nationwide run on Northumbur Rock Bank at noon on September 14, 2007, as of yesterday, September 18, more than 3 billion pounds have flowed out of Northumbruck Bank in just a few days, accounting for about 12% of the bank's total deposits of more than 24 billion pounds, and its telephone banking and online banking business have collapsed for a time, affected by this, the share price of Northaway Rock Bank has fallen by 70% in the past few days, hitting a new low in seven years, becoming the biggest victim since the subprime mortgage crisis in the United Kingdom.

The predator group, which began to reap the profits, unceremoniously snatched 480 million pounds from the Northhang Rock Bank, and although the other banks did not fall so badly, the predator group also tore more than 200 million pounds.

Andy looked at the details of the financial statements marked on the information, and couldn't help laughing happily, he was very satisfied, extremely satisfied, more than a month of layout, and finally bit off a piece of meat from the British, a total of 700 million pounds, Andy has been happy for a whole day.

In order to prevent the emergence of the banking crisis in the system, the British Treasury, the Bank of England and the Monetary Authority have taken rescue measures such as capital injection and deposit account guarantees, and the predator group that has just reaped the first huge profits has concentrated funds on several bank stocks whose stock prices have been cut in half, and carried out crazy low-price sweeps, and when the depositor run has been eased, the panic situation in the banking system has been controlled, and the stock prices of major banks have also risen to varying degrees because of the predator group's crazy sweeping, coupled with the strong rebound of the market。

Although this reversal operation, although there is no final liquidation settlement income, Andy thinks that a profit of 200 million to 300 million pounds can still be guaranteed, after all, the prepared funds are sufficient enough to leverage the stock price.

To be honest, the current predator group has made a name for itself in the British financial world, taking away nearly 1 billion pounds in four days, which cannot but make the British pay attention to them, especially the big boss of the team who has already arrived on the plane, the world's youngest billionaire Andy Smith, especially the people from the British Financial Authority.

And those who also made huge profits in this run on the storm are more aware of this predator fund, and want to continue to follow it to get greater returns, and they are also looking forward to the next move of Andy Smith, a young wealth myth.

Although it is not the attention of the public, but it is also under the attention of many parties, Andy Smith walked down the suspension ladder with three female assistants and six bodyguards, and through the business channel, he saw that several members of the predator team who came to pick up the plane at the entrance of the passage were already waiting, with a smile on his face, and nodded with satisfaction: "Good job!"

"Thank you boss for your appreciation, boss here, please... ”

When Andy's bodyguards in front walked out of the gate of London Heathrow Airport, reporters and paparazzi who swarmed from both sides immediately surrounded the road of Andy and his party.

"Mr. Smith, what do you think about your hedge fund taking away more than 10 pounds in a few days... ”

"I heard you were going to buy Tottenham Hotspur... ”

"Would you invest in the UK ... ”

"What do you think about the current financial risks in the UK... ”

The flashing lights and the noisy and crowded scene made Andy's six bodyguards feel like they were facing enemies, and the two bodyguards behind him were even more grim-faced, pushing away the reporters who were squeezing forward from time to time with one hand, and the other hand unfurled to envelop Andy's figure.

Andy frowned, he didn't expect that he would be surrounded by reporters as soon as he got off the plane, and the questions he shouted were so tricky and mean, obviously someone wanted to make trouble, or he wanted to give himself a little color as a young man.

He could even imagine that tomorrow's newspapers would portray him as a bandit who robbed the British financial markets, and portrayed him as persona non grata.

"Dismount?"

Finally under the isolation of airport security, Andy sat safely in the Rolls-Royce Phantom car, looking at the reporters who were dancing outside the car window, shooting wildly with their cameras, their faces couldn't help but sink like water, and the corners of their mouths showed a sneer and muttered.
