Bluestar Technology, Office of the Executive Vice President.

"Okay Mr. Luo, I understand, huh." Zhang Bowen ended the call, put the landline phone back, and leaned back against the boss's chair couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Yesterday, Bluestar Technology disclosed the news of the issuance of $8.5 billion in corporate bonds, which caused a huge sensation in the industry, and the media was not surprisingly fried, and at the same time, it also leveraged the financial capital of Wall Street to come.

Zhang Bowen's call just now was with Luo Sheng, and Lao Zhang learned that Goldman Sachs directly called his immediate boss yesterday and quickly negotiated a debt cooperation.

Although Goldman Sachs Group is notorious, it is undeniable that as long as you are hard enough, bold and confident, it is very powerful to cooperate with such a capital predator, and the benefits are many.

"Mr. Zhang, how's it going?"

In the office, Lao Zhang's assistant asked curiously.

Zhang Bowen nodded and said: "Mr. Luo negotiated a $3.845 billion corporate bond with Goldman Sachs two hours ago, and Goldman Sachs and his family ate it. ”

Lao Zhang's assistant was stunned and said: "Is it really 3.845 billion US dollars and not RMB?" Didn't Goldman Sachs cry about bankruptcy in the middle of the second quarter and call on the North American authorities to save their lives? Why is there so much spare money all of a sudden? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bowen grinned and said lightly: "Do you think that now that the subprime mortgage crisis has broken out, Wall Street is like a great enemy, and those big investment banks are all difficult to protect themselves?" It would be a big mistake to think so, not only Goldman Sachs is rich now, but other capital consortia are very rich. The world is very chaotic, the really rich are crying poor, and the companies that really have no money are pretending that their funds are okay and have already taken out loans, but they don't really want to slap their faces and become fat, but if you break out of the capital crisis, you will lose customers, and it will be a more vicious circle......"

The North American authorities must have hoped that these big banks and investment banks would actively bail out the market, and these banks would very much like to get a large amount of money, but they were very wary of the North American authorities, and Henry Paulson called the heads of the major bankers on Wall Street to a meeting and asked everyone to contribute money to save the market.

The first instinct of these big capitalists is to be very vigilant, especially to the extreme resistance of the North American authorities to intervene in their operations, because the interference of the authorities in business operations is very serious in North America, and the North American authorities have no choice, and they cannot even ask a company to go bankrupt in the name of administration, because this is against the constitution of the United States.

This time, the Bluestar Technology Group issued bonds to the outside world, and Wall Street suddenly had spare money, so instead of taking it out to save the market, it went to buy the corporate bonds of the Bluestar Technology Group, which made the North American authorities and many companies that could not borrow money very unhappy, but there was nothing to do, because you can't intervene, and there is nothing to explain, the explanation is free market behavior.

Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have a lot of "spare money" this time, and only these two Wall Street financial giants won 70%, and the rest was subscribed by other public funds and private fund accounts.

The $8.5 billion in corporate bonds was quickly snatched up, and the financial institutions that were in the first echelon were all taken, and the second-tier echelons could not be earned.

For outsiders, this is no different from giving money, as if I gave you $10 billion, and after five years you paid me a total of about $15 billion in principal and interest, and you made a steady profit.

In the current economic environment, Bluestar Technology Group has no negative equity and tens of billions of dollars in cash reserves.

As a group giant, this is very amazing, there is no need to worry about the repayment ability of Bluestar Technology, this 3A-rated corporate bond and those mortgage mortgage bonds are a world of difference.

However, the issue of bonds issued by Bluestar Technology has been a lot of trouble in the industry and the media, and there are many discussions on the Internet.

"This winter is colder than expected, and even a rich company like Bluestar Technology is issuing debts and borrowing money."

"It is estimated that there is a problem with the capital chain of Bluestar Technology, and many businesses are accounts receivable, and in the current economic environment, a large number of companies are closing down one after another."

"What do the guys upstairs think? It's too simple, if it's really a problem with the capital chain, it should be a public offering, and then it's not that Bluestar Technology still has more than $10 billion in book cash. So there must be other reasons for borrowing money, but it is definitely not the reason for the problem of the capital chain. ”

"Forehead ......"

"I don't understand the operation of these big companies, so I have money and borrow so much money, and the high interest rate is scary."

"8.5 billion US dollars, all issued overseas, Brother Luo is not authentic, it is estimated that the financial institutions in the mainland are red-eyed, and even scolded behind their backs, which does not allow others to make money, and has to be given to Wall Street."

"Then what should I do, what people want is US dollars, there is no shortage of RMB, it can only be circulated in China, foreigners don't recognize it, if you have US dollars, you will definitely borrow it, this pot is a bit wronged to Luo. And according to the information disclosed in the last quarter, in terms of asset allocation of Bluestar Technology Group, there are about 20 billion yuan in cash, which can only be spent in China. ”

"Alas, the heinous hegemony of the dollar!"

"Bluestar Technology this kind of 3A-rated bonds, retail investors don't think about it, just take a look, just scold and vent by the way, look at the news reports It is said that the major shareholders who invested in the business of Bluestar Technology have digested it, basically Wall Street, and large domestic institutions may not be able to subscribe."

……

In fact, there is still a part of the domestic subscription, Luo Sheng still made some money for some domestic financial institutions, in fact, he didn't need it at all, but he still gave some, but the amount was limited, in the 8.5 billion US dollars of corporate bonds, less than 800 million US dollars were issued in China, that is, about 5 billion yuan of bonds were issued.

In fact, it really doesn't make much sense, borrowing it is also lying in the company's safe, Bluestar Technology Group's current RMB is completely enough, and more than 20 billion yuan to meet the development of the mainland is more than rubbing.

The reason why the mainland has to give a little bit of debt issuance this time is the problem of human sophistication, everyone earns money together, and less money is also earned, which is better than not making a penny, at least selling people's face, having more friends, and fewer enemies, the road of Bluestar Technology Group is easy to go.

Wealth is scattered, people gather, and the more they are scattered, the more Luo Sheng still understands this truth.

……

In August 2008, Bluestar Technology Group's financial statements for the second quarter of this year were released a week later than usual.

Total revenue for the quarter was $4.77 billion, with another significant decline in business revenue and another negative net profit of $1.281 billion.

If Bluestar Technology opens up sources and throttles in the current economic winter, profits can still be guaranteed, but no.

The collapse of other companies, layoffs, layoffs, and the recruitment information of Bluestar Technology Group has always been hanging on the human resources market, until now it is still expanding, but now it is recruiting a lot of outstanding talents, and the general environment is not good, many outstanding talents are unemployed because of the bankruptcy of the original company.

It is a good time to harvest talents, and the company is really short of talents, especially excellent talents, whether it is a technical post or a management post, it is extremely scarce

Previously, a new project was set up for cross-platform chat applications.

As soon as the second quarter audited financial report was disclosed, the stock of Bluestar Technology Group fell in response, of course, the current situation The stock market has been falling endlessly, so it is not surprising, but the decline has accelerated after the disclosure of this financial report.

The total market value of Bluestar Technology fell to $127.9 billion after trading on the same day, and the market value also fell from the second place in the world's top ten listed IT companies to the third place.

Cisco's market capitalization rose against the trend during this time, reaching $140 billion, and Cisco's competitor Huawei also performed well at this time.

But Microsoft is also plummeting, and although it still firmly dominates the first place of listed IT companies, its market value has now fallen to $249.3 billion.

Google, which is known as one of the "twin stars" of IT rookies in Silicon Valley, ranks behind the Blue Star Technology Group, which is also one of the "twin stars", with a current market capitalization of $126.2 billion, and the two companies are currently evenly matched.

Interestingly, the market value of Bluestar Technology Group has plummeted, and Luo Sheng and his core management team are happy, but there is a strange group of neuropaths who are even happier than them.

That is a part of the "public knowledge" and "big V" groups, looking at this situation, they began to hype that Bluestar Technology Group is no longer good, revenue plummeted, bonds were issued to save emergencies, and there were hidden dangers in the capital chain, which was just a flash in the pan.

The funny thing is that the platform for their voice is the social platform of Bluestar Technology Group, and they enjoy the voice window provided by Bluestar Technology in the last web2.0 era.

However, the company's management team did not block these "public knowledge" and "big V", and they disdained it, which was really cheap; Second, this neurotic group still has some use value, after all, they jumped out to show ugliness like this, which is a bit useful for the activity of the platform; Wouldn't it make them even more lofty when they were sealed? Maybe the fake will come true.

This is an inevitable product of the times, and Luo Sheng can't stop the birth of this kind of neurotic group, and with these "public knowledge", "big V", "cents", and the same network has also given birth to "***", which are all groups with strong combat effectiveness, and they are also groups that will inevitably come into being.

In the midst of the uproar on the Internet, the time came on September 15, 2008, a major event occurred on Wall Street that shocked the world, Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in North America, fell into a serious financial crisis and had to declare bankruptcy protection.

The panic index of the entire market exploded in an instant, and the financial crisis caused by North American subprime mortgage bonds entered a more serious inflection point with the collapse of Lehman Brothers, which triggered a vicious chain reaction.

An even more serious financial crisis came, and it began to spread wildly across the globe.

For others, what follows is a moment of fear, but for Luo Sheng, what follows is a time of greed.
