Chapter 178: The First Most Empty Forcing in History (9)

The two people, who were supposed to be like fire and water, actually entered the conference room talking and laughing with each other, like a pair of old friends for many years, which made everyone stunned, but also secretly admired the depth of the city of these two old foxes.

"Hey, Alan, I didn't expect you to be here!"

Soros walked into the venue, took a quick glance, and saw many familiar faces, and felt a little proud. Just as he was about to retract his gaze and sit down, he found Alan sitting in the corner. Howard, his face couldn't help but show a little surprise, and he couldn't help but tease.

Blavin. Howard Asset Management, as the top hedge fund in Europe, although it has little contact with the top hedge funds in the United States, is the pinnacle of each other, and the name is so big that the other party cannot ignore it. As the managers and founders of two top hedge funds, Soros and Howard also have a lot of sympathy for each other.

However, for Soros's ridicule, Allen. Howard was in no mood to deal with it, he snorted and replied angrily, "George, aren't you here too?" Why, where you are allowed to appear, I am not allowed to appear? ”

"Of course not!" Soros laughed at Allen. Howard's unfriendly attitude was not at all disagreeable, "I just didn't expect the famous Blevine. Howard, too, was forced to be empty, which was really unexpected by me. I thought that there would always be a clever manager who would see this scam, but I didn't expect you Blavin. Howard was also recruited, which is really disappointing! ”

When Soros told the scam, Wolfgang. With a hint of gloom on their faces, Porsche and Weidkin looked at each other and sat silently at the far right end of the round table. Because hedge fund managers are sitting on the other side of the oval conference table, this side is naturally reserved for them.

As for the middle position, it is naturally left to the people of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

"What's there to be disappointed about? You seem to be a victorious general! "Alan. The dissatisfaction in Howard's heart was a little more vigorous. The words were even more unkind, but when he thought about it, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he said softly and amiably, "But George, you are indeed very good. Two days. was able to create waves of psychological warfare on the board, playing everyone in the palm of his hand. I have to say, you're a fucking genius! ”

The two bigwigs quarreled, and the others were happy to see the jokes of the two, including the people who connected remotely, they were either smiling or contemplative, but they all had a mentality of not thinking big about watching the excitement. But Allen. As soon as Howard's words came out, the faces of the hedge fund managers who had just chosen to stay out of the matter changed. I can't maintain that indifferent mentality anymore.

"So he's messing around?"

"I just said that the disk is weird and problematic, I didn't expect it to be a quantum fund!"

"No wonder he just had with Wolfgang. Porsche is talking and laughing, maybe this is a trap set by the two of them! ”

……

Everyone had different thoughts, and the eyes that looked at Soros became strange.

Soros just glanced at it slightly, and took in everyone's reactions, and said at the moment: "Yes, the operation skills on the board are indeed my doing." But I'm also a victim of being forced into space. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting with you today. The skills are not as good as others, and there is nothing unconvincing. I'm sure everyone knows the truth of being willing to gamble and lose. ”

He admitted it so generously, without the slightest intention of concealing it, and then hinted that the other people had a low level of trading, which made many people very angry in their hearts, but there was no way to refute it.

"Sorry, I'm late! I see that everyone has a lively discussion. I wonder if there is a solution that has been discussed? ”

Just when the audience was silent, Kurt. William. Cole, president of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the convener of the meeting, walked into the floor unhurriedly. As soon as I came in. He glanced at everyone forcefully, and then said lightly, "No matter what, today's matter must be completely resolved." ”

Silent! He was met with a deathly silence, and no one spoke, including Soros.

"Gentlemen!"

Kurt. William. Cole chuckled, his expression a little sarcastic, but the next moment his face turned up, and he reprimanded unceremoniously, "Gentlemen, do you know how much harm this incident has brought to the exchange, and even to the Federal Republic of Germany? If nothing else, if there is a default, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange will basically not be able to operate. Our collapse is a small matter, but the impact on the financing of German companies is a big matter. Prior to that, I had consulted with the state and federal governments, and they had both instructed that a solution should be negotiated today. If we don't, I can assure you that the consequences are not something that all of you here can afford. ”

As soon as his words came out, everyone present suddenly felt a strong pressure rushing over their faces, which made their breathing a little rapid and unnatural. Even those managers in front of the screen, although they can't feel the atmosphere of the scene, this invisible strength and coercion still hit their hearts through the screen, making their hearts beat suddenly.

"Alright, I'm done talking, and now it's time for you to negotiate freely!"

Kurt. William. After Cole said these words domineeringly, he looked at everyone's reactions, was very satisfied, nodded slightly, and walked out of the conference room with his head held high.

From his appearance to his disappearance, it was only a short five minutes, but it had already set the tone for this consultation, and no one present dared not listen to him. In order to avoid being involved in issues such as interest disputes, Cole is also very clear that the specific plan can only be negotiated by the long and short parties.

After Cole went out, he also took away his coercion, and the atmosphere in the venue was a lot lighter. Wolfgang. Porsche was the first to speak: "Gentlemen, I believe you have all heard what you just said. Of course, we at the Porsche Group are very sincere in helping you, and now we can talk about how to deal with this matter. ”

"What should I do? It's not that simple! ”

A lesser-known hedge fund manager preemptively said, "The Porsche Group has so many shares in the Volkswagen Group on hand, as long as you sell us a little bit and let us close the position smoothly, then all the problems are solved." ”

"yes, that's the truth!" Other hedge fund managers chimed in.

"Of course. That's absolutely no problem! "Wolfgang. Porsche smiled silently, but the CEO Wei Dejin next to him smiled and said, "But there is only one question, why did you choose us instead of the Volkswagen Group?" You know, they also have a lot of shares in hand, if you borrow from them. Wouldn't it be more convenient? ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present immediately changed. Naturally, they are well aware of the grievances between the Porsche Group and the Volkswagen Group, and all of them have come for the acquisition. Now that the other party has broken his mind, the embarrassment on his face can be imagined. The crowd fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

What's more, the shares they have on hand are borrowed from the management of the Volkswagen Group, and in this case, it is simply impossible for them to buy the shares to close their positions.

"Mr. Weidekin, in fact, your statement is not accurate. The Volkswagen Group does have stocks. But we are more optimistic about the prospects of you moving into the Volkswagen Group, otherwise all of you here would not have thought of giving you cash today! ”

Among the crowd, only a few people maintained relative calmness and calmness, and Soros was naturally one of them. He knew very well that he could not get his position from the management of the Volkswagen Group, so he naturally cut off the idea of this. Besides, the Porsche Group is the initiator of this long short press, and only if they relent, he may have a chance to get out. Therefore, after breaking down the meaning of Wei Dejin's words. and used cash as a hint, hoping that the other party could open up.

Weidkin just wanted to embarrass the vultures. As a representative of the real economy, the Porsche Group cannot compete with the will of the German government. He and Wolfgang. Porsche understands that, and that's why they're here today. Seeing that the bears had the intention of admitting defeat, he naturally accepted it when he saw it.

"Optimistic about our prospects for acquiring the Volkswagen Group?" Weidkin snorted, obviously not agreeing with Soros's statement, but there was no point in dwelling on these details now. He continued, "Everyone here, how many stocks still need to be closed, don't bother to make a statistic first. If it is within our affordability, and it does not affect our acquisition plans. We at the Porsche Group can say yes now. ”

"And what about the price?"

Allen, who has not spoken. Howard's heart moved, and he blurted out, "In terms of price, don't we need to negotiate?" ”

"There's no hurry!" Weidkin looked at Alan with great meaning. Howard glanced at it, with a sneer on his face, "When the shares that need to be closed are counted, we will talk about the price." ”

Allan. Howard's heart "chuckled", and inexplicably heavier a little.

As he spoke, a staff member began to count the shares of hedge funds that needed to be closed, and it didn't take long for the figure to come out, with a total of 18.72 million Volkswagen Group shares that needed to be closed, accounting for 4.8% of the total share capital. Among them, what shocked everyone was that Soros's quantum fund alone had 1.9% of the equity that needed to be closed, accounting for almost half of the short sellers.

Facing everyone's surprised eyes, Soros behaved very calmly, he spread his hands, and said with a chuckle: "Gentlemen, I believe you have seen that the Quantum Fund has the largest share of short selling. If there are no objections, how about I negotiate with the Porsche Group on behalf of you? ”

Basically, no matter who negotiates, it is impossible to bypass the Quantum Fund and Soros. Rather than wasting time on scattered negotiations, it is better for Soros to negotiate in person. Everyone quickly figured out the joints, and they all nodded subconsciously, so a temporary alliance was reached.

"With a 4.8 percent share, the Porsche Group only needs to sell 5 percent of the shares. How about a proposal that 4.8% of the shares will be traded to us for liquidation, and the other 0.2% will be used to restore liquidity in the market? After Soros got the authorization of everyone, after a little contemplation, he gave such a plan, "In addition, all of us here owe you a favor and will not interfere in the acquisition of the Volkswagen Group by the Porsche Group." I wonder what Mr. Porsche and Mr. Wei Dejin think? ”

"Favors? Hehe, we have so many options, do we still need your favor? Wei Dejin said unceremoniously, "There is no problem with 5% of the shares, but this favor, hehe, will be exempted." ”

Wei Dejin's words were very offended, and many people had anger on their faces. You must know that these people are united, and the assets on hand are dozens or even hundreds of times that of the Porsche Group, but on this occasion, everyone is fish and meat on the chopping board, and it is naturally inconvenient to refute anything.

Soros was also furious in his heart, but his expression was still smiling, "...... in terms of price"

"1,000 euros per share, no negotiation!"

Wei Dejin impatiently threw down a sentence, and then lengthened his face and ignored everyone. (To be continued......)
