Chapter 589 [Full Fire]
Wall Street.
Multi-party capital predators and communities of interests converge at the Goldman Sachs headquarters.
An analyst at Morgan Stanley said: "Bluestar Technology, Cote d'Azur, Azure Pure Electric Vehicle, Shengfeng Capital, and Luo Sheng's funds are borrowed and borrowed in these four major sectors, in fact, at least six times the leverage is added, although the leverage ratio is not high, but the base is huge, and most of the funds are tied in the stock market." β
Paul Watson, an executive at Goldman Sachs, added: "Luo Sheng appears to be well-funded and still has hundreds of billions of dollars in liquidity, but he is actually fragile and still lacks money compared to his ability to spend money. This time, he once again allocated $175 billion of special funds for corporate lending, in a vain attempt to forcibly continue the life of Huaguo Semiconductor Industry with the power of one person, which magnifies the risk of leverage. β
Obviously, Wall Street's analysis is very accurate, and once Luo Sheng's layout falls into a crisis in the capital chain, it will lead to the consequences of recklessness.
If you choose to maintain the stability of the financial stock market, you have to bind liquidity to the stock market; If you choose industrial semiconductors, you can only let Shengfeng Capital get rid of the stock market.
However, the consequences are very likely to lead to another stock market crash in 2016, or even a circuit breaker.
I have to say that Goldman Sachs Group used to be Luo Sheng's "hardcore" buddy and supported it all the way, but now it seems that this so-called ironcore is like that in the face of interests.
"Don't ignore the government behind it, they can't allow the Cote d'Azur to go bankrupt, and the $175 billion is most likely financially backed by China."
Morgan Stanley's analysts shook their heads directly when they heard this, and said unswervingly: "Impossible, it is impossible for China to support the semiconductor industry with more than 1 trillion yuan of special funds, they don't have so much money, unless the floodgates are opened and money is printed, but the inflation rate will expand rapidly, bringing more economic problems and uncertainties. β
Everyone present couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, it does make sense, the inflation rate in China is not low, and if you continue to print money, it will definitely do more harm than good.
When it comes to the ability to print money, the entire planet can't fight the Fed.
Large-scale printing of dollars can collect seigniorage in the world, because it kidnaps the world economy, and the whole world shares the financial risk for it, but the yuan does not have this advantage, and Hu Lai will cause the domestic economy to get worse and worse, and eventually the money will still flow into the housing market.
You want money here for semiconductors, and other industries will also clamo for money, and if you don't make a decision, you will open the floodgates and release water, this kind of operation will be addictive, and then it will not be as simple as just printing 1 trillion yuan.
The head of Goldman Sachs asked directly: "Then where did Luo Sheng's $175 billion come from?" β
Another analyst at the meeting said: "If you exclude the option of support funds from the Huaguo government, his biggest reliance is on the business of the Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology, especially the Cote d'Azur company, which had a revenue of more than $250 billion last year, and as long as the revenue of the two companies is maintained, it can ensure that the flow of funds will not be affected." β
After all, according to the news exposed, the $175 billion was not taken out at once, but divided into three years, and if Luo Sheng's companies maintained a high-speed growth performance level in these three years, it would be completely fine in theory.
"Wow, it looks like we've found a breakthrough."
"As long as his business is blocked, his revenue stream is cut off, or there is a significant decline, his vast business-tech empire will fail, and he will be faced with a dilemma, but either option will be terrible, because he will have to choose between financial and physical, and the one who will be abandoned will suffer hard."

Wall Street interest groups quickly reached a consensus that the outcome they wanted was actually very simple, muddy the waters, and plunge Luo Sheng's business into a crisis, preferably a collapse-style crisis.
In this way, capital will have the opportunity to enter the harvest, you must know that Luo Sheng's enterprises, including the related industrial chain, are high-quality assets, and Wall Street is not good.
According to Wall Street's assumption, the best situation is to force Luo Sheng to let the Cote d'Azur go public, such a big crisis, to put it bluntly, is the problem of lack of money, Wall Street has money, IPO is on the line, as long as the Cote d'Azur is listed, Wall Street does not mind Luo Sheng breaking the IPO record set by the Azure pure electric car for the third time.
As for the whole industrial chain of domestic semiconductors built by Luo Sheng, Wall Street doesn't care about it at all, it's a matter for the North American authorities, and for Wall Street, it's just a pawn they use.
After reaching an internal consensus, interest groups on Wall Street immediately began to lobby the White House, and the starting point was precisely the whole industrial chain of domestic semiconductors that Luo Sheng wanted to build, and exaggerated the other party's vain attempt to occupy the commanding heights of science and technology.
It doesn't matter whether Wall Street really cares about the future of the United States or not, but the starting point is the same as that of the North American authorities.
That's enough.

In the early morning of November 22, the North American Ministry of Commerce announced a new regulation that can be called full firepower, that is, to modify the export control regulations and restrict foreign companies that use North American chip manufacturing equipment manufacturers from supplying chips to affiliated companies such as Cote d'Azur or Lens Semiconductor.
The reason was that the CΓ΄te d'Azur had been found to have a military background, which jeopardized the national security of the United States.
At the same time, the "temporary licenses" of Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology in North America are clearly not being extended, in short, it is to let these two companies roll out of North America.
The North American side's direct firepower is unexpected to the outside world, but it is also reasonable.
If you coax the first time, it is impossible to coax the second time, otherwise the hegemony of the United States will be swept away, and the soft power will be greatly reduced.
What's more, the real interests have indeed suffered.
Major media are overwhelmingly reporting this series of hot news, and when an unprecedented scientific and technological war is underway since entering the new century, melon-eating netizens at home and abroad are discussing this matter.
Domestic Forums:
"It's really witnessing history every once in a while."
"The development and growth of science and technology is related to the rejuvenation and rise of the country, giving up illusions, and becoming self-reliant in science and technology."
"Does it mean that Lao Mei also wants to build a wall to separate the whole family bucket of Bluestar Technology? It's really a long-lived series. β
"In the future, most of the netizens on the Lao Mei side will also go online scientifically? I don't believe they can leave BlueSpace, BV Video Network, MusicSpace, the world is crazy and magical. β
"True immortals fight the rhythm of mortals suffering."
Reddit Forums:
"Damn, is Bluestar Technology really going to evacuate?"
"I think so."
"It also includes Azure smartphones, which may not be available in the future."
"Will Steam be affected? Valve seems to be a subsidiary of Bluestar Technology, OMG!! β
"Probably not, Valve has been operating independently, but with the parent company Bluestar Technology consolidated financial statements, your games on the Steam platform will not be unplayable."
"What about the ACC host? This is made on the CΓ΄te d'Azur. β
"A new round of promotional activities on the Steam platform has started again, but without Bluestar Technology to the traffic entrance, it is not good news for Valve's performance."

And just after this news was confirmed, Robert Murdoch's News Corp. assets increased dramatically, and its growth point came from its subsidiary MySpace, which is the world's second largest social networking site, founded in September 2003, is an interactive platform that integrates multiple functions such as making friends, sharing personal information, and instant messaging.
MySpace is the product of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs imitating Bluestar Technology, which was acquired by the parent group of North American Fox Broadcasting Company and other media companies for $580 million in July 2005, and now has a market value of $41.8 billion, and it is no surprise that it will continue to rise.
The North American Internet company's market capitalization has risen sharply, and once Bluestar Technology leaves the North American market, it is great news for MySpace, which has been pressed to the ground by Bluestar Technology for 12 consecutive years.
MySpace currently has only about 200 million global users, but at the same time, the global user scale of Bluestar Technology has reached as many as 20+ billion.
With the departure of Bluestar Technology, MySpace will be able to recruit users in North America, and it will be the leader of the North American market in the future.
It is not surprising that the market value will rise sharply, which is unprecedented good news for MySpace, and it can be said that it has picked up a leak in vain and caught up with the good times.
