Chapter 441 Venture Capital

Martin was overjoyed and said, "He likes me." He hugged little Martin and kissed and kissed.

Mark said, "You're partying. ”

Martin said proudly: "My godson is coming to the door for the first time, and I have to make a good show for him." He led a few people proudly forward, and the girl who looked like Eva Green greeted Mark and stretched out her hand to say, "Eve Green, Eva's sister." "She's a polite greeting, as smart as she is, and of course she wouldn't call Mark her brother-in-law.

Mark kissed the back of her hand and said, "Fortunately, you are very similar to Miss Green." ”

Giselle said, "It's a lively night, it's a good party." ”

Everywhere Martin went, he was greeted by men and women dancing in the hall, including political and business celebrities whom Mark knew, including the famous Mayor of New York City Fallenberg, and several major shareholders of Time Warner, this was no ordinary party.

Martin came to the middle of the hall, took a microphone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have the honour to introduce my godson, Martin Wang, and my friend Mark Wang, and his wife, Giselle Wang!"

The huge hall burst into applause, and the Mark couple was well-known and recognizable around the world, and many people greeted him, including Richard, the executive chairman of Time Warner's board of directors, who bent down and waved in the face of everyone's warm applause.

Martin is very happy, holding little Martin, proudly introduced to several bigwigs present, Mark came to New York to discuss with Martin a piece of the pie, since Martin had a party, he had to respond to the story and chat politely with these bigwigs, today, Mark is also one of the bigwigs, but he is still short of money.

But Martin hugged little Martin for a while, he was a little uneasy and wanted to cry, Martin was a little panicked, he said to Giselle: "I swear it didn't hurt him." ”

Giselle said, "He must be hungry, do you have milk here?"

Mark and his wife are proud of the fact that little Martin eats a lot of food, is not picky, eats breast milk and milk together at the beginning, and when he quits milk at five months, he easily quits, which is very easy to raise and carry.

Martin immediately said sorry and ran to the restaurant with little Martin in his arms, followed by Giselle and Eve, while Mark stayed behind to chat with the guests.

Giselle quickly took out the bottle from his bag and made a bottle of milk for little Martin, who was eager to try it and said, "Can I feed him?"

Giselle said, "Of course!" she handed the bottle to Martin.

Martin carefully hugged little Martin, carefully put the pacifier on the side of little Martin's mouth, little Martin smelled the milk, immediately put his mouth over, sucked big, Martin saw that little Martin did not resist him, very happy, and gently swayed, so that little Martin seemed to be in the cradle.

Little Martin drank half a bottle of milk in one go, and didn't stop until he had two full burps, and he grinned at Martin, who was overjoyed and said, "This is a very polite boy, and he's thanking me." ”

Martin hugged little Martin and said: "A good baby, you must be a good person when you grow up, don't learn badly." ”

Giselle said, "What do you mean?"

Martin sighed: "My daughter, Caroline, is such a good girl, graduated from the Wharton School of Business, worked at Merrill Lynch, but met someone unladylike, became obsessed with a hippie, and became addicted to drugs, I didn't listen to any persuasion, my heart was very hurt." ”

"Caroline is a smart girl, she'll be back," Giselle said. ”

Martin was silent, handed little Martin back to Giselle, and said, "Tonight is your party, enjoy it all." ”

Giselle felt a little strange, Martin seemed to be full of thoughts, and he wanted to stop talking, Giselle was inconvenient to ask, so he had to leave with little Martin in his arms.

Martin's tears flowed, he took out his handkerchief and wiped it, and said to Eve, "How is Miss today?"

Eve said: "Caroline is looking good today, she has eaten a third of the extra bread. ”

With a bitter smile on his face, Martin said, "Very good! I'll go see her in an hour." He transformed his smile into an elegant one, grabbed a glass of champagne, and strode down the hall.

This ball Martin opened to welcome Mark's family, which is normal, everyone in the country knows that Mark and Martin have a very good relationship, and even half of them think that Martin is Mark's backstage.

Martin, who controls a large foundation and engages in a variety of investment businesses on Wall Street, is thriving and thriving, and as early as last year, he pointed out in an interview with Fortune magazine: "There is a huge bubble in the subprime mortgage market, and a new economic crisis can erupt at any time. ”

This remark is regarded as an astonishing statement to sensationalize the public, and who would be a black-hearted businessman who is opportunistic and unscrupulous is one thing? The media, the public, and Washington have not taken this seriously.

Mark is now asking Martin again, "Can I get a piece of the pie?"

Martin said, "Sure, have your principal ready?"

Mark tentatively quoted a figure and said, "I'm not greedy for three billion, right?

Martin said: "No, this is an opportunity for many people, this money is not earned, it will evaporate, I envy you." ”

Mark said: "You seem to be earning more than me, who doesn't think you're more successful than me." ”

"Fate is so ridiculous, one day you will find that even if you build an empire, you will end up with nothing," Martin said. ”

Mark Qiang smiled and said, "This is more than a hundred years later, why don't we enjoy the present? When did you convert to philosophy?"

Martin smiled, looked at the men and women dancing in the huge living room, drank the champagne in the glass, and said, "Have your money ready?"

Mark said, "This storm should be coming, right?"

"Yes," said Martin, "Milicon will pay for his greed, and most of the people here will lose more than half of their assets, and their wealth will be concentrated in a few." ”

Mark swapped Martin for a glass of champagne, touched each other, and drank it all.

Mark and Giselle stayed in a guest room at Martin's mansion and spent half a day in New York the next day before returning to Los Angeles. ”

Mark said: "Thinking about calculating others day and night, of course he will lose weight, and his purse will rise rapidly." ”

Giselle said: "You don't seem to be happy with this Martin, he has helped us so much, will he be scolded for being ungrateful?"

Mark wanted to say more, but remembering that it was Martin's plane, he shut up, it was useless to complain and complain, no one knew about the complicated relationship between him and Martin, and he didn't want anyone else to know, although Martin was giving him a prison, but Mark believed that he was qualified to offer a piece of the pie.

Mark said to himself, I'm not greedy, I just want to pay off the debt, his golden finger is strength, that's it, he will get a piece of the pie, Martin agreed.

When Mark returned to Los Angeles, he convened a meeting of three other MM giants, who had won a big win last year, and were ready to repay three billion dollars in addition to interest, but Mark suggested that the three billion be used to invest in hedge funds.

His bold proposal was opposed by three other giants, joking, who would be so crazy as to think that there is a bubble in the robust real estate market?

The reason why the subprime mortgage credit can be packaged into a CDC agreement, and it has been speculated again and again in the financial world, and the price has increased by several hundred letters, is because this is a very safe agreement, who will not repay the mortgage? If you don't repay the mortgage, you will have to take off the house, and in order to keep your home, you have to pay the mortgage by selling pants and buttocks!

Therefore, the media and financial circles will dismiss Martin's remarks, believing that they are ill-intentioned careerists who disrupt the market and demoralize investors.

For Mark's proposal, Iger, Megan, and David resolutely opposed, they believe that MM has expanded too fast in the past two years, and it is time to slow down, practice internal skills, and carry out internal rectification, and it is the best choice to repay the money, and MM's debt ratio is in a dangerous stage.

This is Mark's trouble, holding the truth but no one knows, helping everyone to get rich, others think it's too risky, and they think you're cheating on them.

Mark had no choice but to understand and reason, and hinted that the Davis Fund was already aggressively shorting real estate, which was profitable.

But the MM three always think that this is too risky, they are doing media, doing business, not speculation, they are not familiar with this industry, and the risk is big, they dare not take three billion as a bet, they are not gamblers.

Mark never imagined that the MM Big Four had always been the only one to look ahead, and now there was no one to support him, because they all felt that it was too risky and had no confidence at all.

As for the news from Martin Davies, this man has a bad reputation, and the others are not like Mark, who has a lot of confidence in him.

That's embarrassing.

It's a shame that Mark can't get everyone's support, and Mark has also tasted the taste of not holding power in his hands, and when other people's interests are at stake, others choose what is in their own interests.

Mark asked himself if he was leading everyone to make a fortune, but others didn't approve of it, and he had no choice.

In the end, Mark decided to take out 13% of his shares as collateral and transfer the money from the company's account, if he does not repay the money by this time next year, the 13% equity will be divided between the other two, and the Ellison family will expand their equity to become the largest controlling party in MM, and Iger will also subscribe for a part.

Mark withheld the three billion yuan of the debt repayment, then regarded it as a dividend, and then took out the equity as collateral to transfer the share belonging to the Ellison brothers and sisters and Iger, so that Mark prepared a huge amount of three billion US dollars.

Mark transferred a huge amount of money to Martin's foundation and put him in charge of helping sell the hedging protocol, and all the three billion were shorted.

When David and Sophia found out, they were shocked and immediately came to Mark.
