Chapter 101: Ten Billion
The dust is about to settle on the presidential election, and the stock market volatility caused by the presidential election is still continuing, and it will not calm down until the new president takes office. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Citigroup's stock price fell first because of the death of Sandy Ware, and then the internal equity competition caused panic, and the stock price fell again, but as Wales Weil inherited Sandy Weir's assets, the internal stability, the stock market gradually began to recover.
Zhou Yu looked at the report in the financial magazine, his face expressionless.
After a moment, he dropped the magazine, picked up the phone, and dialed Hull's number: "Let people contact Wales-Vale." ”
"Got it."
Hanging up Hull's phone, Zhou Yu changed hands and dialed the number of Wales-Vale: "Early tomorrow morning, blatantly declare that you are not optimistic about the development of Citigroup, and start to sell your equity, Dontoke Investment Company will contact you, you know what to do, right?" ”
Wales-Vale: "I know. ”
"Good." A cold light flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes: "After selling the equity, wait for my call." ”
"Understood."
Dropping the phone, Zhou Yu closed his eyes and exhaled slightly: "Collect some interest first... It's a long time coming. ”
...
Wales Vail inherited the property of his grandfather Sandy Vail, although the inheritance tax was severely slaughtered by the IRS, but Sandy Weil's family is rich and can still afford it, so Wales has all the assets of Sandy Vale.
It stands to reason that the wealthy in the United States, in this regard, will do a lot of tricks and tricks during their lifetimes, often in the form of setting up funds, etc., to circumvent the knife of the IRS.
It's a pity that Sandy Weil died early - he thought that he would live another ten or eight years, and that there would be time to do this. After all, although this old guy is in his seventies, he has always been in good spirits, has a clear brain, is physically strong, and can still grasp the development direction of a large group in good spirits.
But there is no regret medicine in this world.
Otherwise, Sandui-Weil will have to crawl out of hell and do this thing well.
But what he didn't expect was that his heir, and at the same time, his grandson, Welsh Vale, who had killed him ruthlessly, had deviated from the career he had worked so hard for all his life within a few days after inheriting his fortune.
In the morning, Wales got dressed and came to Citigroup's headquarters with a faint smile.
Within an hour, he walked out of it with an excited face and said to the secretary next to him, "I'm going to hold a press conference." ”
The secretary is still at a loss - just now, in the president's office, he witnessed the quarrel that broke out between his boss and the new president of the group!
Quarrels for no reason!
Until now, he hadn't figured out what it was for!
After hearing Wales's instructions, he began to operate the press conference in a daze.
Half an hour later, media reporters came to hear the news.
In the hall on the first floor of Citigroup's headquarters, Wales was like a fighter, raised his hand, and under the light of the flashing lights, excitedly said: "Citigroup has no prospects, I want to sell my equity!" ”
Bang!
It was like a bomb, and in an instant, everyone was in an uproar!
And when the reporter asked questions, Wales's actions had reached the ears of everyone at the top of the group. In a trance, everyone seemed to think, is this person crazy?!
Why would he do that?
What are the benefits?
You must know that in order to break into the Citi consortium, Sandy Weil didn't know how much effort it spent, and I don't know how much effort the Jewish consortium behind it exerted.
But less than a week after his death, his heirs, his grandson, were going to abandon his life's work!
How incredible is that?
Are Jews all lunatic?
As soon as they got this information, the senior management of Citigroup was silent.
Not only did Wales's actions not fit with Sandy Vale's usual strategy, but what was even more shocking was that he was going to turn his back on the Jewish consortium!
You know, when the Jews were suppressed by the Anglo-Saxon descendants and couldn't get up, they changed their strategy and wanted to blend in, and Sandy Weil was their striker!
But I didn't expect it to be empty in the end?!
The Anglo-Saxon descendants were surprised and puzzled at the same time - could it be that Wales also hated their Jewish ancestry?
Just like Warren Buffett?
But before they could figure out what was going on, Wales's actions had already burst into power!
Citigroup's stock price, which is slowly recovering, slammed and then fell rapidly!
Immediately, there was a panic.
Just as the upper echelons of the consortium were preparing to stabilize the stock market in other ways, the financial team of East Track reached an agreement with Wilson with lightning speed!
According to the current stock price of Citigroup, East Trafigura bought 15% of the shares of Citigroup held by Wilson at a price of four billion US dollars!
Cheap!
It's ridiculously cheap!
You must know that when Citigroup's stock price was at its highest, its market value even exceeded 90 billion US dollars! Fifteen percent of the equity, that's worth nearly 15 billion!
Now, it's as cheap as four billion!
It's like a slap in the face, which makes the top management of Citigroup feel a hot pain -- it is clearly to show his words -- he is not optimistic about the future of Citigroup, and he uses the cheapest way to show his attitude!
Such a rapid change has left shareholders at a loss.
Even if it fell sharply a while ago, Citigroup's share price on the stock market, converted into Citigroup's market value, is more than 70 billion US dollars. But Wilson sold 15 percent of his shares at a price of four billion!
For a while, shareholders were at a loss - could it be that Citigroup really couldn't do it?
Hesitant, dazed, ordinary shareholders are the most susceptible to external influences, and the presidential election has exacerbated this psychology, and then, selling, a lot of selling!
It turned Citigroup's stock into a hot potato.
Heavy setbacks, continue to hit hard times!
...
Zhou Yu sat and watched the wind and clouds, but his psychology was regretful.
It's just like what Hull just told him - if you press it for a little longer, wait until the capital in your hand is more abundant, and then launch this trump card, the benefits will be even greater!
It's a pity that because of the mercenary incident, Zhou Yu is determined to fight back and retaliate.
Otherwise, wait until the better time, wait until Zhou Yu has one or two hundred billion in his hand, and then let Sandy die, and then let Wales sell its equity, so that Citigroup's stock price jumps and can grab more wealth and benefits from it.
However, Zhou Yu did not regret it.
Money, he doesn't care.
When it comes to making money, is there anyone in this world who can make more money than him?
Even the IT industry that can make the most money, whether it is Apple, Microsoft, or even Facebook or Amazon, these companies seem to be extremely valuable, with a market value of hundreds of billions.
But how much cash?
Most of them are fried.
It's empty.
And Zhou Yu's money is real, not a little wet.
Now, he just wants to be able to reach his heart.
Fifteen percent of Citigroup's equity is more than enough. With Citigroup's complex shareholding composition, 15 percent, even if not the largest shareholder, can be ranked in the top three.
It can be said that now Zhou Yu, in Citigroup, has a considerable right to speak.
It's a pity that it has to be hidden, and it can't be exposed.
...
The acquisition of Citigroup's stake in Wales at a bargain price brought East Trafigura to the surface. This offshore investment company is so mysterious that no one even knows where its funds come from!
As a result, whether it is the Citi consortium, other consortia, or even the U.S. government, they have begun to investigate the details of Dontoke.
The investigation was very secretive, and the fastest of them were the agencies of the U.S. government, but they were also the fastest. Because they found out that the offshore company seemed to be related to California.
Immediately knew that this was probably a struggle between consortiums and could not participate, so they immediately retreated. As far as the U.S. government is concerned, the secret struggle between consortia, as long as it does not affect the political situation, is up to him.
Subsequently, other consortia also found out some information, and they also locked the final mystery on the California side.
Even the California consortium itself thought that it was a big name within the consortium and took advantage of this opportunity to fight back against the Citi consortium. Since this big man didn't know what he said, they were all in one camp, and it was the Citigroup that suffered anyway, so there was no need to get to the bottom of it.
It is true that Zhou Yu is a member of the California consortium, but not who they think they are.
It can only be said that Hull's operation was very ingenious, and on the premise of not exposing Zhou Yu, all forces in the United States died down.
Even the Citi consortium can only knock out the teeth and swallow it in the stomach.
They now have to clean up the mess of their Citigroup group, and they don't have the energy to deal with the California consortium for the time being.
The secret battle between the consortiums is not superficial, and ninety percent of the people don't know the mystery of this.
Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, he was worried that there would be a danger of exposure, so early in the morning, he prepared a top tank - Leorick! The root of the East Traucher company points to this one.
Leo Rick is a very important member of the California consortium, and his family is very important in the consortium. If the forces of all parties get to the bottom of it, they will probably find out about this person's head.
But there is no impermeable wall in this world, and if all forces really want to break the casserole and investigate to the end, Zhou Yu still can't guarantee that he will sit back and relax.
But he didn't expect these people to stop at the beginning, and they died down before Leorik arrived.
Anyway, Zhou Yu made a big profit this time - 4 billion bought the original value of 15 billion shares, although Citigroup has not yet recovered, but with the intervention of the consortium, it will definitely stabilize soon, and the stock price will definitely return to the original level.
In other words, Zhou Yu made 10 billion this time!
"Honey..."
Tina came to Zhou Yu's side at some point, wrapped her arms around him, and rested her chin on his shoulder: "You are very tired of fighting with them..."
Zhou Yu knew what she was talking about, and smiled: "Keep it a secret for me, baby." ”
Tina blinked. (To be continued.) )
