Chapter 111: The Great Melee (2)

"Hey, see who's calling here?"

When the call was answered, Lauder. Blancfan's slightly flirtatious teasing voice sounded, "Dick, I heard that you guys have some problems, and now everything is okay?" ”

Lauder. There is nothing inappropriate about Blanke's words, but listen to Dick. Fude's ears were extremely harsh, and he thought that the other party was laughing at him, especially when he might instruct his subordinates to spread unfavorable news against the Lei 'Gate' brothers, which made his originally suppressed anger immediately explode-≤≤,

"Okay, don't you know?" Dick. Fude said almost through gritted teeth.

Lauder. Blancfan was stunned, he heard the love in the other party's words, and he was very aware of the rumors about the Ray 'Gate' brothers in the current market, but what he didn't understand was why Dick. Fude chose to ask his own teacher for his guilt.

In all fairness, Lauder. Frankvan did not know where the source of these rumors in the market came from, and he was not involved in the planning of these rumors. However, he himself still likes these rumors, and even if he knows that his 'exchanger' is spreading them, he will not intervene to stop them.

Just kidding, a top-level 'trader' may earn more than his CEO. Moreover, the reason why these 'exchangers' spread these rumors must be driven by interests, and there is no reason for him to stop the spread of rumors in public or 'private'.

Knowing this, Lauder put away his laughter and seriously looked at Dick on the other end of the phone. Fude said, "Dick, I really don't know if you're okay or not. Anyway, don't you think the way you speak now is very problematic? ”

"God, I'm about to be 'forced' to death by you sons of bitches, do you want me to have a good face to show you?"

Dick. Fude's reaction became even more 'intense', and even swore words. But soon he thought of something. He softened his tone and said, "Lauder, I know this will upset you. But I have to say, I really can't think of anyone else in the market who would do that? ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Lauder. Frank Fan was already very unhappy, but he still said with a strong anger.

It's just that this attitude of his is in Dick. In Fude's view, it is pure pretending to be deaf and dumb. In order to let the other party admit it, he also suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. He briefly repeated the rumors about the Lei 'Gate' brothers in the market, and then said conclusively: "Isn't it you? Isn't it you? ”

Despite knowing that the Raymen brothers were in a bad situation at the moment, after hearing these rumors, Lauder. Frank Van was still slightly taken aback, he didn't notice Dick. Fude's last question, but subconsciously asked: "Is the situation of the Lei 'Gate' brothers really so bad?" ”

Oops, did I say something I shouldn't have said? Dick at the moment. Fude's mind raced, and he quickly recalled what he had just said. He was hearing from Lauder. After Belrank's questioning, he realized that he might have been used. But after thinking about it for a moment, he finally determined that he didn't say anything out of the ordinary.

It's just that after scaring myself like this. Dick. Fude was even more convinced that the other party was playing tricks on him, and immediately said in a tone ten times harsher than just now: "Damn, Lauder, are you trying to find out what we are doing?" Say, what the hell are you going to do? By the way, you didn't admit it just now, but now you're 'exposed'! ”

Lauder. Blankefan was dumbfounded, he never expected that his casual question would cause the other party to explode again. What he didn't know was that in just a few minutes, Dick. Fude's psychology has undergone a sea change. Of course. For the time being, it was impossible for him to appreciate the mental journey brought about by this daily struggle on the line of life and death. Fude turned into a frightened bird.

The other party has been entangled on this issue several times, and his attitude is both arrogant and rude. Belrankfan has a good cultivation, and he can't help but move the real fire. At that moment, he snorted coldly, and 'Yin' replied compassionately: "If you say." I'm talking about if, it's us who spread the rumors in the market. You, the CEO of the Ray 'Gate' brothers, Dick. What would you do, Mr. Fude? ”

"yes. I knew it was you. Look, you admit it now! "Dick. Fude was like a treasure, and he was so excited that he almost jumped, "Since you admit it now, I won't bother you, I want to make all of today's content public, so that everyone can take a good look at who is the 'yin' plotter and the destroyer of the market." I want investors all over the world to see what kind of virtue the No. 1 investment bank is in their eyes, playing 'yin' tricks, destroying market order, maliciously shorting competitors, wantonly playing 'tricks' rules, and official shanggou knots! ”

Dick. Fude said sonorously and forcefully, but his heart was as bright as a mirror, his words were not very convincing, he needed to 'provoke' the other party, so that the other party could say more things in an irrational 'sexual' state, so that he could have more material to publicize.

His words did 'provoke' Lauder again. Blancfan, it's just that the script didn't go the way he expected. Belrankfan was not fooled, he just hung up the phone after viciously saying "these things have nothing to do with us".

As the CEO of First Investment Bank, Lauder. Frank Van has his own pride, he disdains and "jumps the beam whatever, even though this "jumping clown" is not really a jumping clown. But in Lauder. Belanche Van looks, Dick. Fude doesn't even count as a title.

Bellakfan, who hung up the phone, slammed on the mahogany desk, making a muffled bang, and the blonde secretary assistant outside the 'door' hurriedly walked in to see what was happening, but found that his president's face was not right, and just about to silently quit, he heard Frank Van say: "Call the managing director of the 'Transportation' Department to come to my office." ”

I wonder what's going on? The blonde secretary answered, and then tiptoed back.

……

On the side of the Ray 'Gate' brothers, Dick was hung up. Fude was even more furious, but it was impossible for him to call again, and he sat alone in the office silently for half a day, and then calmed down his mood of "agitation" and "swinging", picked up a copy of "The Art of War" and read it.

Speaking of "The Art of War", this book has been highly praised among the upper class society of the Western world. Executives of large companies have one in their hands. Although this is a book written by the ancient Chinese thousands of years ago, some of the ideas in the book can still make countless people get a flash of inspiration from it and have an epiphany to solve the problem.

In the acquisition of American Express in '99 and the 9/11 incident in '01, Dick Fude had an epiphany from "The Art of War" to solve the problem. This brought the Lei 'Gate' brothers back to life. So this book was regarded by him as a lifesaver, but he has turned this book back and forth no less than 30 times, and it is still chaotic and has no clue.

"Those who are good at fighting in the past are invincible first, and then they are invincible when the enemy is victorious. You can't win against yourself, but you can win against the enemy. Therefore, the good fighter, can ......" flipped through for a long time, Dick. Fude's mind gradually sank as he read softly. At that moment, a thought crossed his mind like lightning, and he realized that he seemed to have caught a clue.

Thanks to Dick. The version that Fude is looking at is the English version, so it is not possible to accurately express the meaning of the original text in some translations, but the phrase "do not defeat yourself, but defeat the enemy" faithfully reflects the meaning of the original text: if we cannot solve the enemy ourselves, then find an opportunity in the enemy.

The current Rayman brothers are clearly unable to compete with the market, or to be precise, with Goodman's army of hedge funds. Dick. This is how Fude analyzes the current situation. Since we cannot "win against ourselves," we can only "win against the enemy." The thought in his mind grew clearer and clearer.

Find them an opponent. They have no time to take care of the current Lei 'Gate' brothers.

Soon, such a thought came to Dick in its entirety. Fude's mind. What he didn't know was that there was a popular saying in China that described such a situation: the enemy of our enemy is our friend. Having realized this strategy, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he kept moving around the office, and began to seriously think about how to find a rival for Goodman.

It is necessary to be equal and hostile enough to Goodman. It also involves this part of the business. This object is not difficult to find, or there is such an opponent in the market, but after a little thought, a name jumps into Dick. Fude's heart.

Stanley & Company.

As one of the leaders in this industry, Stanley has always been a well-known representative. Whether it is the historical background, the reputation of the industry, or the scale of assets, etc., it is comparable to Goodman. As the world's No. 1 investment bank, and the other as the world's No. 2 investment bank after the other, the two have always been fighting openly and secretly, and the grievances between the two sides can be traced back to the 80s, and they are full of 'fierce' competition and full hostility between each other.

This is definitely a natural opponent.

"Great!"

After careful analysis of all kinds of Dick. Fude couldn't help but cheer as he rubbed his hands together and dialed the Stanley & Co. CEO John Brown. Mark's call, full of confidence.

Speaking of Dick. Fude and John. Mark was also a 40-year old friend, having met in the late '60s) when they were on Wall Street together. Mark is at Milbar, while Dick. Fude is a brother in Ray Gate. Subsequently, although John. Mark switched to the 'door' court several times, and Dick. Fude remained with the Raymen brothers, but the two sides never broke off their relationship with each other.

"John, it's me, how are you doing?"

After many phone transfers, I was finally contacted. By the time Mark, he had already connected to Paris. John. Mark is meeting with his clients in France. Of course, based on the time difference, he should be resting now.

"I'm fine!" John. Mark's voice was a little tired, he was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and he was naturally a little 'listless' when he received the call, "Dick, my friend, I heard that you are in a little trouble, is it true?" ”

"Damn, you've heard that, too?" Regardless of jet lag, Dick. Fude couldn't help but complain, "You may not know in Paris that a lot of things have happened today, a lot of very troublesome things. Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were said to be in danger of bankruptcy, and Paulson both came forward to make statements, and no one knows what the facts were. The market is getting worse and worse, and there are rumors flying every day, and I'm really fed up. ”

Babbled and complained for a long time, until I heard the other person yawn in the microphone. Fude asked tentatively, "John, is there any possibility for us to cooperate?" ”

The main topic is finally here!

John, who had been waiting for the impatience of the fast. Mark endured his sleepiness and barely cheered up, "Dick, how do you want to cooperate?" ”

In the case of the Ray 'Gate' brothers, John. Mark and Lauder. Bellakvan, like him, was well aware of what was going on with them. But unlike Blancfan, he thinks that some of the Raymen' brothers' assets are very good and worth buying. But if you want to take it all over, then hehe. p
