Chapter 575: Preparing for Winter

How much money did Jobs really have?

No one can say for sure, if Jobs' wealth is calculated according to Apple's market capitalization, then Jobs' net worth should be between $4 billion and $5 billion.

It sounds like you can buy a lot of Apple stock.

But don't forget that all this wealth is saved in the form of stocks, and it is already very good that Jobs can come up with one or two hundred million funds just by himself.

Jobs will definitely not be able to take out the loan of 8 billion, so Li Lin's tone is ridiculous.

"I can come up with 200 million, my entire net worth." Jobs smiled bitterly and gave up the idea of buying shares from Li Lin.

He admitted that he was indeed dizzy just now, thinking about eating stocks from the hands of Li Lin, a vampire, who did not know that Li Lin's funds had never come from the bank, not from the sale of stocks.

"But why do you need so much? I remember that Universal Movies has a market value of less than $3 billion now! Your $8 billion loan is enough to buy three Universal movies. ”

"Of course, it's not just Universal Movies, in fact, Universal Movies is just one part of my plan."

Li Lin didn't discuss it too much.

Because all his plans are based on the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, once the subprime mortgage crisis breaks out, a large number of high-quality assets are abandoned, and the value of assets also plummets.

It's not that he doesn't trust Jobs, it's that he can't cope with Jobs' inquiries.

Even Steve Jobs. It is only the feeling that a crisis may erupt, and the analysis of the crisis can only involve Apple, if he tells SΓΉ Jobs bluntly. Soon there will be a subprime mortgage crisis, and the subprime mortgage crisis will involve all industries in the world, so either he is crazy or Jobs is crazy.

"Okay, Jobs, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll hang up first." Li Lin hung up the phone, and then dialed Qi Xiangdong's number. "Qi Xiangdong, come over for a moment."

After making the call, Qi Xiangdong came over quickly.

Li Lin's fingers tapped on the chair. His eyes closed slightly, "Qi Xiangdong, how much cash does our company have now?" ”

"There are about 1.2 billion ...... Renminbi. Qi Xiangdong gave an estimate and added a monetary unit.

"Not enough."

Li Lin stood up. Measuring my steps in the office. "It's not enough."

Qi Xiangdong glanced at Li Lin strangely, the Li Lin in his memory was not like this, and after waiting for a few minutes, he asked softly, "What's wrong?" Mr. Li. ”

"A very strict thing."

Li Lin's face was solemn and his voice was low, "Jobs just called, and he told me that the stock market in the United States is abnormal. It could be a precursor to an economic crisis. ”

"Economic crisis!"

Qi Xiangdong screamed out of shape, and then gasped. An economic crisis is a disaster that all conglomerates do not want to face, and any large conglomerate can collapse in a crisis.

In the past, the collapse of seemingly strong and indestructible groups in economic crises is the best example of this.

Li Lin's words completely sounded the alarm for him.

"100% sure?" Even Qi Xiangdong himself didn't notice that his voice was dry.

"Ninety percent."

Li Lin gritted his teeth, "The American media suddenly guided public opinion abnormally, making investors active in stock market trading. ”

"The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Foreign Capital Administration Commission have opened the door to foreign capital and brought in foreign capital on a large scale, even if it is not at the expense of allowing these foreign capital to control domestic American companies."

"And as far as I know, the big banks in the U.S. have started to shrink their monetary base, and it has become difficult to lend to real estate-related industries."

"Add to that the Goldman Sachs report I heard a few months ago at a gathering of the American Chamber of Commerce, and I was 90 percent sure that the economic crisis was about to erupt, and the Wall Street consortium already knew that they were retreating and looking for a safe haven for money."

Zila!

Qi Xiangdong's hand grabbed the chair, and between his fingernails and the chair, there was a tooth-aching dragging sound, "What a vicious Wall Street." ”

"They want to make ordinary people and foreign capital their scapegoats, and pass on their losses to the people and foreign capital."

If the economic crisis is going to break out, there will definitely be people who will suffer losses, and the biggest losses should be the Wall Street consortiums that are most involved in the financial game.

But the Wall Street conglomerates, sensing the economic crisis, chose to leave the market and encouraged ordinary people and foreign capital to come in and take over the time bomb from them.

When the bombs explode, the deadliest casualties are definitely the unsuspecting people and foreign capital.

The Wall Street consortium has played a particularly slippery game.

"Mr. Li." Qi Xiangdong said in a deep voice: "If this is really the case, if there is really an economic crisis, then does our plan to go public need to be postponed." ”

If it encounters an economic crisis just after listing, it will be a heavy blow to the gold medal group, not only will they not be able to raise enough capital, but they will also become the first cannon fodder under the economic crisis, and there will be no place to die.

Relatively speaking, if it is not listed, it is better, at least it will be relatively less affected. "Nope." Li Lin said categorically: "Not only can we not postpone the listing plan, but also accelerate the listing." ”

"Why?"

Qi Xiangdong fiercely opposed, "In the case of an imminent outbreak of the economic crisis, going public is self-defeating!" ”

"Because we need food for the winter." Li Lin calmed his voice as calmly as possible, "If the economic crisis is compared to a harsh winter, then the group's cash reserves are our winter food." ”

"With a lot of debt, the only chance we can get a lot of winter food is to go public."

"So not only can we not postpone the listing, but we also have to speed up the pace of listing, go public before the economic crisis, and raise enough winter food from the stock market, only in this way can we ensure that we can survive."

Everyone knows that in winter, man has two greatest enemies.

One is food, the other is cold.

In the harsh winter of the economic crisis, the wealth in the hands of the people has shrunk significantly, which will inevitably lead to a decline in their purchasing power, and in this case, almost all companies will face a decline in revenue.

The decline in revenue will lead to unrest and layoffs, which in turn will further exacerbate the economic crisis, which is a vicious circle.

If left unchecked, the only result is a complete collapse of the economy, so at this time a strong hand is needed to interfere with this cycle, destroy the cycle, and break the cycle, so that society can get rid of the impact of the economic crisis and enter a new round of economic prosperity.

Li Lin knows that from the outbreak of the economic crisis to the intervention of the government's big hand and then to the economic recovery, it took two years to initially make the economy recover slightly.

And this recovery is just a recovery, and it is definitely not the past of an economic crisis.

So in this process, the gold medal group needs warm clothes and food, and they all point to the same item, which is money.

Groups with more reserves are more likely to survive the crisis, and to get enough food and clothing for the winter, they need to go public early and raise enough capital before the crisis hits.

It's a race.

Race against time.

"I see." Qi Xiangdong sighed bitterly, "I will urge the group to go public as much as possible." ”

"I didn't expect that we would use guΓ² to finance the capital for the winter."

He sighed, but did not refuse.

The economic crisis is terrible, it is everyone's nightmare, and only the kind of hot money that wanders in the international gray area will like the economic crisis, because in the economic crisis, they can unscrupulously sing about the economy of a country, so as to seek huge benefits from it.

They are like jackals and hyenas, which make a detour when the country is strong, and when the country encounters a crisis, they will not hesitate to rush up and bite the country's neck and suck blood hard.

The Gold Medal Group is not an international hot money, they are not even a financial institution, but a real enterprise group, and in the general environment, they will also feel the cold of winter, even if the film industry has a tradition of bucking the trend.

They need food for the winter, and when the loan has reached the limit, only by going public and financing can they integrate more capital to withstand the coming harsh winter.

Although Qi Xiangdong resisted this kind of behavior, he would not refuse.

When Qi Xiangdong left the office, Li Lin sat alone in the office, constantly thinking about the upcoming subprime mortgage crisis, although he had made sufficient preparations, he still did not dare to relax his vigilance against the subprime mortgage crisis.

Whether in his past life or in this life, he deeply understands the horror of the subprime mortgage crisis, which is an economic crisis in the real sense and not just a financial crisis.

The latter is just a stock market crash, although the impact is extensive, but it is not enough to pass and it will pass, just like doing surgery to dig up the flesh of this 'person' in society, and it will be fine after digging a piece.

The economic crisis, on the other hand, lasts much longer, and it is like the pus of the 'person' of society, which not only stinks, but also penetrates deep into the flesh and blood, and once it erupts, it is much more terrifying than carrion.

"But the economic crisis is a crisis, but also an opportunity."

"We will suffer from a harsh winter, and so will they, as long as they use it well, it may not be impossible to get what I want through this harsh winter, and presumably in this harsh winter, the US government is not in the mood to manage a slightly more active foreign capital!"
