Chapter 274: To Bet (II)
Not long after Wang Tianyu hung up the phone, the news appeared on Wall Street that the largest shareholder of Gachid Bank owed Wang Tianyu 10 billion yuan and could not repay it, and this news swept across Wall Street like a hurricane and spread to the global financial community.
Wang Tianyu and Johnson's tens of billions of gambles are well known. Originally, the shareholders of the bank did not pay much attention, and even some speculators began to be optimistic about the shares of the bank. Why? Because if Johnson wins the bet, Johnson, as the majority shareholder of the bank, may continue to buy back the shares of the bank, or continue to invest in the bank. If Wang Tianyu wins the bet, Johnson will not be able to repay the debt, so he can only mortgage the shares of Jiaqide Bank to Wang Tianyu to make a bet, so that Wang Tianyu will become the largest shareholder of Jiaqide Bank.
However, after the news that Wang Tianyu refused to use the shares of Gachide Bank to repay debts, there is only one possibility, that is, Johnson can only sell a large number of shares of Gachid Bank to raise funds to pay off the debt, which will cause the stock price of Gachide Bank to fall. So some investors immediately started selling shares of Gaged Bank. Coupled with the suppression of Tianyu International, the stock of Jiaqide Bank suddenly plummeted, falling by 10% in just ten minutes, and it is still falling.
Johnson had just made a few phone calls and made appointments with a few big bankers. Preparing to talk about stocks is a thing, and it's going very well. He is now wondering if he can create some positive news for the company and then pull the company's stock up so that he can take the initiative in tomorrow's negotiations. If you succeed, you may be able to achieve unexpected gains.
"Bang bang bang", a sharp knock on the door suddenly shattered Johnson's illusions.
Johnson straightened his clothes, sat upright, and shouted to the door, "Come in!" ”
"The chairman is not good!" Johnson's secretary rushed in and said anxiously to Johnson.
"What's so flustered? I've not told you many times, you must stay calm and composed. The bigger the event, the more so. Johnson reprimanded his secretary.
"What's the matter? Go ahead. Johnson continued.
"Chairman. The stock of the Gatched Bank plummeted, and it was—" The secretary said to Johnson very calmly, but was interrupted by Johnson before he could finish speaking.
"What? How so? Johnson suddenly stood up and exclaimed at his secretary. Then start to open the stock chart of Gachid Bank and take a look. I was taken aback. Just a few minutes. The market value of 20 percent of his stock was $12 billion, but now it has become only $10 billion, and it continues to fall. Maybe soon there will be no 10 billion dollars. He still owes Wang Tianyu 10 billion US dollars, and if this continues, maybe even if he goes bankrupt, he will not be able to repay Wang Tianyu's 10 billion US dollars.
Seeing Johnson's gaffe, Johnson's secretary cautiously reminded Johnson: "Mr. Johnson, calm and composed, the more important the matter, the more important it is." ”
"I'm about to go bankrupt, and I'm going to calm down, calm down." Johnson ranted at his secretary.
After listening to Johnson's reprimand, Johnson's secretary muttered to himself with an aggrieved face: "Didn't you say you wanted to be calm and calm?" ”
"What did you say?" Johnson shouted at his secretary.
"Oh, nothing." Johnson's secretary hurriedly spoke.
"Wang Tianyu, it must have been Wang Tianyu, this bastard, did it." Johnson said angrily as he looked at the computer monitor.
"Hurry up and ask the investment department to buy the shares of Gachid Bank and stabilize the stock price." Johnson then snarled again at his secretary.
"It's useless, they're already buying, but they can't stop the stock from falling at all." Johnson's secretary spoke.
After listening to his secretary's words, Johnson went limp, slumped in his office chair, stared blankly at the ceiling, and muttered, "It's over, this time it's completely over!" ”
It took a long time for Johnson to come back to his senses and mutter, "No, I can't sit still." ”
Johnson then began to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, and finally found a piece of paper with a phone number written on it from the trash can.
"It's okay, I didn't lose it." Johnson said with a happy look on his face, and kissed the paper as he spoke.
That's right, that phone number was left to Johnson by Wang Tianyu just before leaving, and Wang Tianyu rarely uses business cards. The most important thing is that Wang Tianyu felt that Johnson did not deserve his business card at all, so he left a phone call for Johnson on the paper. And Johnson naturally disdained Wang Tianyu, and threw the paper into the trash can as soon as Wang Tianyu stepped out of his office.
"Wang Tianyu, I figured it out, I'll take 20 percent of my stock to offset the $10 billion bet." Johnson said as soon as he dialed Wang Tianyu's phone.
"Mr. Johnson, you're not kidding! If you look at the stock price of your Gatchid Bank, 20 percent of your stock is now worth only $9 billion. Wang Tianyu said lightly.
After Johnson listened to Wang Tianyu's words, he looked at the computer monitor, and sure enough, the stock price of Jiaqide Bank fell a lot, which made Johnson can't help but scold: "Damn, bastard!" ”
"Oh, I didn't mean you." Johnson hurriedly explained to Wang Tianyu.
"Mr. Wang, you also know that apart from these 20 percent of the stocks, I have no other valuable property, 10 billion US dollars, even if you kill me, I won't be able to take out that much money." Johnson cried to Wang Tianyu at this moment. Johnson also has no way, the shares of Jiaqide Bank must not be able to sell so much money now, and in order to pay off the debt, he can only make compromises, hoping that Wang Tianyu can accept the 20% of the shares in his hand to pay off the debt.
"Don't you have a villa in the suburbs, it should be worth tens of millions of dollars!" Wang Tianyu said to Johnson.
"Mr. Wang, I'm just that villa, do you really want me to sleep on the streets?" Johnson said pitifully.
"Don't you already have a house in New York?" Wang Tianyu said with a smile.
"You-" Johnson was speechless for a moment, but he didn't expect Wang Tianyu to find out his bottom clearly.
"I can leave your house in New York to you, your wife, and your son, but the twenty percent of your stock and the villa in the suburbs must belong to me, so how about it?" Wang Tianyu said to Johnson on the other end of the phone.
"It's already my duty that I didn't let you and your family sleep on the streets, if you don't want to, forget it, then I can only find the court to solve it, then you really have nothing, not only will you have to sleep on the streets, but you will also owe me a lot of money." Wang Tianyu saw that Johnson did not speak, so he continued to speak.
"Okay, I promise you!" Johnson finally gritted his teeth and said to Wang Tianyu. There is no way, if he doesn't agree now, he will really have nothing at that time as Wang Tianyu said.
"Okay, I'll have someone do it in the afternoon, but I hope Mr. Johnson will keep our deal confidential." Wang Tianyu continued.
"Hmm." Johnson answered weakly and hung up the phone, looking at the office where he had worked for decades, he felt indescribably lonely, he didn't expect that he would have such a day, if it weren't for his wife and son, he might have committed suicide, let alone compromise with Wang Tianyu.
In the afternoon, Wang Tianyu asked Concubine Ling Fei to sign a contract with Johnson, but Wang Tianyu did not immediately let Johnson leave the company, but let Johnson continue to work as usual, and Wang Tianyu did not immediately go to the stock exchange to change the equity of Jiaqide Bank, he wanted to delay it for two days.
Johnson naturally knew what Wang Tianyu meant, Wang Tianyu wanted to take this opportunity to absorb the shares of Jiaqide Bank at a low price, and then announced that Tianyu International would become the major shareholder of Jiaqide Bank, and the news would definitely be exciting, and the stock price of Jiaqide Bank would rise sharply at that time. However, Johnson was also very cooperative, after all, he was defeated by the king, and Wang Tianyu did not kill him.
A few days passed like this, and Wang Tianyu finally went to the stock exchange to make an equity change, and Tianyu International instantly became the largest shareholder of Jiaqide Bank, holding 40% of the shares of Jiaqide Bank.
As soon as this news came out, it was naturally conceivable that the stock price of Jiaqide Bank suddenly soared, and Wang Tianyu and his Tianyu International became the biggest winners. This made countless people have to admire Wang Tianyu's means and ability, and even Johnson sincerely admired Wang Tianyu, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Losing to someone like Wang Tianyu is not wronged." ”
The first thing Wang Tianyu did when he got his bet back was to fulfill his promise to the employees of Tianyu International and took out five billion US dollars as a bonus to those old employees of Tianyu International.
The employees of Tianyu International were overjoyed after receiving those bonuses, five billion dollars! Even if it were to be distributed to them, it would be quite considerable. The employees of Tianyu International are even more energetic, and Tianyu International is also famous again because of the operation of the stock of Jiaqide Bank, which can really be described as fame and fortune!
