Chapter 1,290 Step by step

……

Apple, Hasbro, Starwood, Chaowei Semiconductor, Microsoft, and Amazon are almost all supergiants in their respective industries, with a market value of more than $5 billion for each company, and even Microsoft's stock price is more than $150 billion!

How big should the economic or political forces that can cause the stock prices of these companies to fall, or even fall off a cliff?

Although Liu Dong had anticipated the huge crisis against him and his Hanhua Group a few months ago, he never expected that this crisis would come so turbulently?

Moreover, Liu Dong believes that the decline in the stock prices of these companies is just the beginning, and the real feast has not yet come.

"Immediately call Feng Jianhui and Cui Dongchen, as well as Guan Tao, the president of Hanhua Commercial Bank, and David Coleman of Hanhua Holdings, and tell them to get ready, our enemy has already started a war!" Liu Dong stood up and said with a cold expression.

"Understood, I'll go!" Helen, who knew that the situation was critical now, did not have any intention of flirting.

"Wait!"

Looking at Helen, who was slightly stunned, Liu Dong said meaningfully: "By the way, give Sally Kraucek a call, and say that I have something here and want to talk to her in detail!"

"Got it!"

After nodding, Helen hurriedly walked out of Liu Dong's study on the yacht.

After she left, Liu Dong sat down slowly, but the expression on his face was a little more solemn.

"'Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, it is difficult to draw cats and tigers and bones', this sentence is really not wrong at all!" Liu Dong said in his heart.

Without the cooperation of Sally Kraucek, who holds the administrative power of Standard Chartered Bank, Standard Chartered would never have coincidentally concentrated on these companies whose stock prices were deliberately suppressed.

However, Liu Dong is also very glad that fortunately, the bank still has a supervisory committee, and the financial power is still in his hands. Moreover, he had already issued an order at the bank's shareholders' meeting not to engage in futures trading, otherwise the situation would have been even more tragic than it is now.

"Liu Dong, no! I just received news from the British headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank that President Sally Kraucek disappeared an hour ago!" Helen, who had just left, quickly ran in again in a panic.

"What, missing?" Liu Dong stood up suddenly.

"Well, now the headquarters has reported the case, and the London Police has begun to investigate, but there is still no news. Helen nodded vigorously.

"Missing? This plan is really tight, step by step trying to put me to death!" While sneering, Liu Dong was angry and a little bitter in his heart.

In fact, as early as in Paris, because of Cui Dongchen's reminder, Liu Dong had already noticed that Sally Kraucek was abnormal. But thinking that he is the other party's savior. In addition, Liu Dong has always been grateful for Sally Kraucek's move to give up his high position at Bank of America to help him stabilize Standard Chartered Bank.

So even if he was suspicious in his heart, when there was no definite evidence, Liu Dong did not mean to move the other party. Who knew that now he was soft-hearted, and he actually made a big mistake.

"Bell ......!"

At this time. The mobile phone in Liu Dong's pocket rang.

As soon as it was connected, Feng Jianhui's voice came from it, "Chairman, President Kraucek is missing!"

"I already know! Jianhui, you don't care about the disappearance for now. I now appoint you as President and CEO of Standard Chartered Bank, and I am fully committed to ensuring the stability of the bank!"

"Yes, I understand!" Feng Jianhui was able to distinguish between priorities and priorities! So after Liu Dong finished speaking, he immediately agreed.

"And. I'm sure you're aware of it, too! This time our enemy is very strong, and you have to be prepared for everything. Liu Dong said cautiously.

"Understood! Chairman: If we want to survive the crisis this time, I am afraid that the amount of money we need is not a small amount. ”

"You don't need to worry about the funds, I've prepared it in advance! If things go wrong, I'll transfer the money!"

After Liu Donggang finished talking to Feng Jianhui on the phone, Helen's mobile phone rang again.

However, she had only been connected for more than ten seconds, and the expression on her pretty face had changed greatly.

"Liu Dong, Mr. Cui Dongchen just called! Mr. Martin Bouyger, chairman of the Bouygues Group, asked why we had signed the contract. But $2.5 billion hasn't been paid to his company's books, are we ready to default?"

"What?"

There was a bad news that shocked Liu Dong, and the hatred for Sally Kraucek deepened in his heart.

Even without investigating Liu Dong, it is clear that the money must have been transferred by Sally Kraucek, who handled the transaction. Martin Bouig didn't fight sooner or later, but only now called to collect the money, and it is clear that the transfer of 2.5 billion US dollars must be inseparable from him.

At this time. Liu Dong also recalled a contract detail that Cui Dongchen had mentioned to him.

That is, in the contract signed by Sally Kraucek with the Bouygues Group to acquire a 21% stake in Abi National Bank, liquidated damages amounted to $15 billion!

Compared to the $2.5 billion deal, the liquidated damages are clearly too high.

However, Liu Dong, who was desperate to annex the Abi National Bank at that time, did not care too much about the issue of liquidated damages because of the abundant liquidity in his hands.

But now after all these things happened, looking back, Liu Dong suddenly found that the liquidated damages in this contract may be the biggest trap.

"Is it true that after I acquired Unocal, Daewoo Group, and Abi National Bank, I didn't have any funds in my hand?" After sneering in his heart, Liu Dong immediately said, "Helen, you immediately call Cui Dongchen and ask him to tell Martin Buig that the $2.5 billion in cash will be on his account tomorrow at most!"

"I see!" Helen, who agreed, hurriedly walked out of the cabin again.

"One by one, they've already jumped out! This time, let me see what kind of means you have!"

The cold, majestic and deep voice echoed in the yacht's study.

……

"Cheers!"

"Ding......!"

Under the dazzling light, the crystal clear red wine in the beautiful glass was shaken, and everyone put it to their lips, and then drank it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first step of our six-month plan has been perfectly realized! This would not have been possible without everyone's collective efforts, and of course we have a special thanks to Mr. Icahn, without whose help we would not have been able to achieve the victory we have now. So, I propose that we raise our glasses again and toast Mr. Carl Icahn!"

As Rofitte Stillman finished speaking, the dozen or so people in suits and leather shoes present raised their glasses together again, and after glancing at the old man next to Roffett with guard, admiration and respect, he raised his glass again after wearing a black suit, a slightly thin face, gray hair and a serious expression.

"Thank you, in fact, today's success is everyone's, I just did what I am good at!" Carl Icahn said indifferently in the face of everyone's complicated eyes.

In fact, Carl Icahn, the second activist investor on Wall Street to be named the "corporate sniper" after Michael Milken, has seen more of this in his daily business negotiations.

And with his success in the financial industry, and a series of almost unscrupulous speculative actions, he also has such horrific names as "speculator", "activist investor" and even "corporate predator".

But in Carl Icahn's view, none of that mattered. If you want to be successful, you can't do it without paying a price. Moreover, in his opinion, successful people are always feared by everyone.

Under the greeting of the host of this banquet, after everyone sat down, he still asked: "Mr. Icahn, the next period of time is the most critical time for this financial war, I don't know ...... you?"

Carl Icahn understood what Rofitt meant, and after glancing at him, "In fact, you have done a very good job of preparation, and now the seemingly powerful Standard Chartered Bank has begun to crumble! The bubble that followed the successful acquisition of Abi National Bank seriously shook the foundation of Standard Chartered Bank. ”

"The reason why it hasn't gone down now is because there's not a tipping point where all these contradictions have erupted. But if we take the initiative to break these contradictions, we don't need to do too much, just run away all the standard Standard Chartered Bank shares in our hands, and then let the media expose the financial difficulties of Standard Chartered Bank, then the pyramid that has taken away the most important foundation will all collapse!"

"Bang bang ......!"

Under the leadership of Rofite, there was a round of applause in the small secret conference room.

"Very wonderful analysis...... Tomorrow, it's time for us to launch a second wave of attacks! Sell all our Standard Chartered shares and make a big profit, and we will see our enemies defeated. It doesn't take too long, maybe two weeks, maybe a month, but no more than half a year. We will be able to step on the corpse of the GCA Group and make our respective enterprises stronger. So, do your best tomorrow! harvest time is almost approaching!"
