Chapter 1129: The Beginning
In the United States, on Wall Street, Bell Securities is not one of the largest investment banks, in terms of strength, that is, it ranks in the middle of the level.
To be specific, Bell Securities has not yet reached the first grade, but it is a leader in the second grade of investment banks.
In short, Bell Securities is also a very, very powerful existence, to use billions of dollars of leverage to leverage this behemoth with assets of more than 100 billion US dollars, it is almost impossible to rely on legitimate business means.
Of course, it will take a long time to complete the entire acquisition and there will be a lot of approvals to go through, but once the main problem is solved, the rest is only a matter of time.
How can I get Bell Securities?
The first step is to create and spread rumors.
The second step is to keep Bell Securities in crisis and turmoil.
In this world, it is easy to create rumors, but it is much more difficult to refute rumors.
Therefore, the time lag between rumors and rumors is very important, and the most important thing is that the water organization has premeditated and prepared to release a lot of rumors, so that Bell Securities is deeply trapped in the rumor vortex and is busy refuting rumors to eliminate the panic of investors, and then take the opportunity to kill Larry. Bel.
It's just that the rumors will only cause panic among investors, but not enough to shake Bell Securities, Larry. Bell's death will not completely shake the foundation of Bell Securities in normal times, but if the two are combined, then Bell Securities will be finished.
So the third step is to assassinate Larry at a critical moment. Bell, completely give Bell Securities a fatal blow.
But that's not enough, there's a very important fourth step, which is to prevent others from getting Bell Securities.
After working for a long time, they finally made wedding clothes for others, this kind of thing is not uncommon, and Yang Yi doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others, so they have to prevent bystanders from rushing up to grab the prey.
If Ball is only asked to do this, he can't do it, because from a business point of view, his power is still too weak, and having billions of dollars in cash flow is a lot of money at any time, and he can do a lot of big things, but when an investment bank is functioning normally, it is not enough to buy an investment bank with billions of dollars, unless he can meet the opportunity of the subprime mortgage crisis in '08, but there is no such opportunity now, so he just can't do it.
With Yang Yi and the Water Organization alone, even if they have billions of dollars, plus all kinds of means to jump out of Wall Street's rules, they will never get a single investment bank on Wall Street.
The reason is too simple, no one in the water organization is familiar with the rules and insiders of Wall Street, if there is no one who has reached the level of a bank president and has been immersed in Wall Street for many years, with a group of laymen, how much money will have to be played to death by Wall Street bigwigs.
Joining forces can create miracles, and all of them are indispensable.
"Among the investments made by Bell Securities, there are two companies that are very noteworthy, one is Bahrain Hi-Tech, which is a high-tech company, Bell Securities has invested 1.6 billion dollars in this company, but this company has not made any progress that can be called a breakthrough, this is a junk stock, just waiting for someone to detonate it.
There is also a foundation called the Waffle Trust, in which Bell Securities has invested a lot of money, and I have not yet investigated the exact amount, but it is estimated to be no less than a billion dollars, and in my opinion, everything this foundation does is a typical fraud. ”
Pol's fingers tapped lightly on the table twice, and said: "Use these two points to detonate the crisis of Bell Securities, from spreading rumors to spreading thoroughly, it only takes three days, but it takes about half a month to brew into a credibility crisis, so we need to get the cooperation of securities media, Bahrain Hi-Tech is an investment failure, but Waffle Trust Fund is a scandal, step by step, take out the news, hand it over to a suitable media, and use paper media and TV media to expose the failure of Bell Securities in Bahrain Hi-Tech." ”
Bol paused, and then he continued: "This is a self-media era, it is not difficult to do this, we spread the Waffle Trust scandal on the Internet, and without waiting for Bell Securities to come to its senses, we immediately let the TV media follow up and dig deeper and expand the scandal, as for the inside information and intelligence, we prepare it in advance and hand it over to the media for them to break the news directly, so that Bell Securities has no time to react and a chance to cover up the scandal." ”
Pol didn't know how long the plan had been, and now when it came to the steps to be implemented, it was in order, which made Yang Yi and them feel more relieved to listen.
This is the advantage of having an expert leader, you don't have to bother much, just do everything as you are told.
"Okay, how do we start spreading rumors? There has to be the right person to do it, right? ”
Pol took a piece of paper and began to write down the names of the twelve people on the paper, and then put the note in front of Chris.
"That's your task, these people are people who can spread rumors, they have a certain status, they believe what they say, the most important thing is that they are easy to buy, everyone pays 100,000 dollars, this person needs a little more, give him 500,000 dollars, and he will spread the rumors after they are perfect."
Drawing a circle on a person's name with a pen, Pol nodded, "That's him, but the last one to find him, and if he refuses, tell him that the consequences will be serious." ”
Chris and Pol have practiced together many times, and he knows what role he has to play when he arrives in the United States.
Why didn't Pol give these names to Chris beforehand?
Because this is the foundation of Bolan's life, even if he has entered the water organization, he is definitely not willing to take out all his hole cards.
Now, it's time for Pol to show his worth, and it's time to use all his skills.
Chris took the note, and then he whispered, "What should I say?" ”
"You don't need to say anything, just say you want them to help, these people are part-time people, they don't care about your identity and background, but we need helpers, some people who can really help us, people who can be employees in the future."
Yang Yi couldn't help but say, "It's the other way around, right?" Isn't it time to recruit people before attacking? ”
Pol shook his head and said, "No, it depends on the situation, these people are not so easy to dig, let them see that we have made a move, and let them know that there is indeed a possibility of taking a high position in a new bank, it will be easier." ”
Yang Yi said in a low voice: "Well, why don't we find some ghosts at Bell Securities?" Wouldn't it be better to have an inner ghost? ”
Pol raised his hand, and then he smiled: "Of course, and this is what you have to do, how could I ignore such a low-cost and efficient thing as buying the inner ghost?" ”
