Andy was intrigued by Alvitle's questioning, considering that Alco rarely jokes about investment.

"Tell me what news makes you in the mood for a joke. ”

Bard should have heard that John Sain, the former CEO of NYSE-Euronext, has taken over as CEO of Merrill Lynch. Al asked with a smile as he looked at Badstone.

"Well, and within a few days of this guy taking office, he got the year-end dividend of Merrill Lynch, and he accepted it without hesitation, and I don't know if it was good or bad for this guy to take over Merrill Lynch. Badstone also smiled a little sarcastically, as if he was very unimpressed with this John Sain.

"Hehe, I don't know if it's good or bad, but our Merrill Lynch friend just told me that he has selected three Merrill Lynch assets to sell to alleviate the financial dilemma. Think-tank analysis predicts that Citigroup, **** and Merrill Lynch may write off another $34 billion in subprime securities. ”

When Andy heard Al's words, his eyes couldn't help flashing, and the corners of his mouth turned up and smiled: "It seems that these three assets to be sold are somewhat interesting, let's say, what project makes you think I will be interested?"

"Thirty percent of Bloomberg!"

"What?!"

Andy confirmed aloud with a look of consternation, and he looked at Alvitatre in disbelief, hoping that this was not the message he had said to entertain himself.

"Boss, you heard it right, it's 30 percent of Bloomberg's equity! However, Merrill Lynch only needs cash, and Bloomberg's valuation is valued at a premium of $10 billion... ”

"FXXK!That's worth it!How much liquidity can I use now?Is it enough for 3.3 billion?" An irrepressible excitement appeared on Andy's face, and he reached out and swung his fist, directly interrupting Al's words, and his excited eyes glowed green.

This news also has to make Andy excited, it is Bloomberg, to be honest, maybe the people of the Celestial Empire will not care about this Bloomberg, but if people who are slightly interested in international news can't ignore this news organization that specializes in providing news to various media around the world.

Many TV stations, newspapers, and online reports mostly come from Bloomberg, and around 2015, this situation became even more common.

Founded in 1981 as Bloomberg Information, Bloomberg News is the world's largest financial information company, with about 130 news bureaus and about 2,000 news professionals worldwide. The founder, Michael Bloomberg, is still Jewish.

It is primarily used as an economic information platform for users around the world to exchange information, and it also provides authoritative economic commentary and opinions, providing economic information to companies and organizations, including local Sankei information.

Seeing this, does everyone feel a little familiar, and the feeling mode is very heavenly?

Most importantly, it is the world's largest provider of financial information services, and its data terminal system "Bloomberg Professional Services" can help customers access and analyze real-time financial market data and make transactions.

Customers around the world use the terminal, including traders, investment banks, the Federal Reserve, other official agencies in the United States, and major central banks around the world. The terminal costs $20,000 a year, and 315,000 users worldwide contribute $7.9 billion in revenue to Bloomberg each year.

And every Bloomberg employee has its own terminal, including its media division, which has more than 2,400 journalists.

Ali is definitely the journalist, or Ali's Jackma, is likely to borrow from Bloomberg's framing.

The company has grown into a global multimedia conglomerate that combines news, data and data analytics. In just 26 years, Bloomberg has surpassed Reuters, the world's largest information company, with 150 years of sales revenue from its financial data market.

This kind of company that occupies 33% of the market share in finance and media, don't want to be valued at 10 billion, that is, 20 billion, Andy will find a way to get the funds to get the 30% shares, you know, Michael Bloomberg, the old fox, sees the shares in his hands as more important than life, and for so many years, he is still holding more than 55% of the shares.

Although he successfully ran for mayor of New York City since 2002 and resigned as president of Bloomberg, he still clings to the company's CEO position.

This is a Bloomberg empire that Andy sees as more valuable than News Corp., and if he can get a third of the stake this time, he will become one of the owners of Bloomberg's dedicated service network, which has a lot to do with the Internet.

The corners of Badstone's mouth twitched, and his eyes looked at Alvitler who was pouting and shrugging his shoulders with a hint of resentment, "The $2.7 billion authorized by the current boss of the Liberty City Company, the $700 million Apple stock that costs $700 million, and the company's operating capital is $300 million, and the available funds are 3 billion. ”

"Gaia currently has 2.5 billion available funds, and there are still 200 million and 500 million in the boss's private account... Alvitatre gave some fractions.

"Hmm?oh~" Andy was slightly stunned by the number that was reported, which is a lot more than 12 billion, and then he suddenly thought about it, Nima, his group of subordinates are helping him make money every day, and I believe that the year-end report in the UK will also give him a happy number.

"We should be grateful to those devils in the foot basin country, I didn't expect the dollar to depreciate, but my assets have increased again, haha. Andy couldn't suppress his laughter.

Alvitatre and Badstone wandered out of the world at the same time, looking away with their eyes distracted, directly filtering out the words of their young boss with strong racial discrimination, anyway, these important people around them are used to the boss's name for devils, sticks, and Ah San, and they will consciously close their hearings automatically.

"That's right, Al, Bard said before that there are funds to suppress the price of gold futures, this has been nearly two months, and the price of gold has been fluctuating from $780 to $815, these bastards, just take this opportunity, I want to play a hedge and teach them a lesson!"

“。。。。。。 ”

“。。。。。。 ”

Alvitatler and Bardstone both frowned at each other and looked at each other with furrowed brows, then quickly thought about it.

"Christmas will be closed for a day, and near the end of the year, most of the funds will be cashed out of the market, if the boss wants to leverage the gold futures market, we need to increase leverage, boss, your credit rating is naturally no problem, but the risk is still very large, and because of the time difference, we can not do New York-London synchronous suppression... ”

"No, Al, we can do it, but boss, according to the analysis, we believe that gold futures in February next year will have a wave of rise in the near future, the continued depreciation of the dollar, whether it is against the yen, the euro and the pound have repeatedly hit new lows, the Nikkei index is affected by this and continues to rise against the trend, and the exchange rate on the pound has been infinitely close to 1:2, the price of gold will inevitably rise explosively because of the depreciation of the dollar, at this time, if we take the risk of hedging, it is very likely to go short!

As for the problem of synchronous suppression, before the market opens in the United States, because it is Christmas Eve, London will be closed before 12 o'clock, so that our people in London will suppress the price of gold futures from the beginning of the market opening, and try to achieve a linkage effect. ”

Andy is a little entangled, so maybe it may really be successful, after all, the capital power to suppress gold futures is already very large, and a little external force on his side may cause violent market shocks, and there is no problem in making money, but he is still worried about the 30% of Bloomberg shares in the hands of Merrill Lynch.

As if he had understood the young boss's intentions, Alvitatre's eyes lit up slightly, and he came up with the idea of the best of both worlds.

"Boss, otherwise, we will immediately contact London in a while, let them report the specific number of gold futures held, our side, directly scrape together 4 billion US dollars with loan interest from the Bank of America to redeem the boss your batch of gold mortgage, after the market opens tomorrow, directly use this batch of spot gold to impact the gold futures market, such a large number of gold spot into the market, the futures due in February next year will not fall, although in this way we hedge the profit of shorting a little, but we can ensure that the value of the gold in the hands of the boss will not be affected by market shocks and shrinkFrom the spot gold funds sold before, take out a part of the leverage to buy low, so that we have enough cash and enough gold futures chips in our hands, the best of both worlds!"
