Luo Sheng's $1 trillion smashed into the Ya Investment Bank, which can be regarded as offending the eurozone and North America at the same time, perhaps it should be confident, it is offending the entire West.

If it was a month ago, Luo Sheng would definitely not dare to do this, but now it is different, with trillions of dollars of liquidity, the key is that more than half of the assets entrusted to him by European and American capitalists, even if he loses, he can pat his ass and leave, anyway, it is not his own money, he will not feel distressed at all, and he is naturally bold.

If you don't dare to let go of yourself like this, it's not Luo Sheng's style.

……

On March 25, the city was also moving fast.

On this day, the GDPR bill was officially voted on and introduced, namely: General Data Protection Act.

The GDPR severely restricts the collection and misuse of user data by internet companies, and while the law only applies to users in Europe, the impact is significant, especially for global multinational technology companies.

The bill's regulations on how user data should be used by companies in the Tau Chau region introduce new and stricter rules to obtain people's consent to the processing of data.

According to the regulations, if a company that holds consumer user data becomes aware of a data breach, it must notify the user within 72 hours in some cases.

The passage of GDPR means that the operation of the Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology in the Dazhou market has violated the law, not only that, but the Silicon Valley technology giants have also suffered.

The people of Zhuzhou are not only unhappy to look at Luo Sheng's company, but also unhappy to see all these multinational technology giants.

……

The next day, Margaret Vestager, head of the antitrust chief officer of the EC Commissioner's Competition Commission, spoke out in the media, saying that the data regulator has found that multinational technology groups including but not limited to Bluestar Technology, Cote d'Azur, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and other multinational technology groups have more or less violated the GDPR.

When the news came out, the outside world subconsciously thought that a series of adjustments were already underway, and the tickets were already on the way.

The tech companies she named, including Luo Sheng's Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology, have not been fined, while other Silicon Valley tech giants have been brutally slaughtered in the past two years.

Instead, the tech giants in Silicon Valley are so angry that they are about to explode, gritting their teeth at the old woman Margaret Vestager, who has been planted in his hands since he took office as the antitrust commissioner of the Silicon Valley in 2014.

In the past two years, North American technology giants Google, Amazon, Microsoft and other companies have been fined, with a cumulative fine of up to 22 billion euros.

Microsoft has been the worst in the past two years, because its own Windows system forced to install its own video player and was fined to the point that the scalp was numb, and the bigwigs turned blue one by one, but they could only pinch their noses on other people's turf.

The only ones who have not been targeted by Vestager are Luo Sheng's Bluestar Technology and the Cote d'Azur, which once made Silicon Valley's tech giants indignant.

But now, Vestager is finally going to take on Bluestar Technology and the Cote d'Azur.

……

March 27th.

In the science and technology complex building, Luo Sheng's private office, is currently communicating with Zhang Bowen of Bluestar Technology and Yao Jianhong of the Cote d'Azur.

"I just received the news that the European Antitrust Ombudsman Vestager formally accused Bluestar Technology's big data and cloud computing services of violating the antitrust provisions, and issued a fine of 15% of Bluestar Technology's annual revenue." Zhang Bowen said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Jianhong also said: "The Cote d'Azur is similar, and the reason for the accusation is that the WOS system violated the anti-monopoly clause and threw a fine of 15% of the company's annual revenue. ”

15% of the annual revenue in the fine is not the company's global revenue, but the company's annual revenue in the continental market.

But it's also an astronomical amount.

Bluestar Technology recorded a revenue of 45.2 billion euros in Bangzhou last year, and once so, the fine will be as high as 6.78 billion euros, which means that Bluestar Technology has worked in vain this year, and even has to pay backwards.

The Cote d'Azur has recorded an annual revenue of 78.8 billion euros in the Tazhou market, which is proportionally equivalent to a sky-high fine of 11.82 billion euros.

The two fines add up to 18.6 billion euros, or about 136.5 billion yuan, making them the largest fines in history.

"18.6 billion euros, but I think I can afford it." Luo Sheng didn't seem to feel any anxiety about the news, but he added slowly: "The company was fined, and I was personally accused of maliciously shorting the European financial market, and now the SEC is fighting a lawsuit with my lawyer team. ”

Lao Zhang and the others also laughed lowly for a while, they felt that the boss was now entangled in how many lawsuits, it is estimated that he himself did not know, and they were all in a lawsuit with the institution.

However, he does not need to attend the lawsuit in person, and these cases have entrusted the corresponding lawyer team to attend the lawsuit with the other party, what should he do.

"Vestager openly said that if the fine is not paid, the company will get out of the European market." Speaking of this, Lao Zhang couldn't help but scold: "This good face is faster than turning a book, the European market has spent so much money to go down, and you want to drive us away?" ”

Luo Sheng directly clapped the board and said: "I'm setting the tone here, Vestager is very wrong to treat me as a Silicon Valley technology giant, I won't pay a penny of the fine, and I won't withdraw from the market." ”

Yao Jianhong said: "Then how do we deal with it?" ”

Luo Sheng analyzed: "The matter of the fine, whether it came late or early, but it came at this time, most of it was caused by the cooperation between Shengfeng Capital and Ya Investment Bank...... You guys will talk to them according to the normal PR routine first, and I'll find a way to get the EU to come and beg me. ”

"Understood."

This is the end of video conferencing.

Luo Sheng's tone was not ordinary, but Lao Zhang did not doubt it, since he dared to say so and dare to deal with it like this, it showed that he was sure enough.

In response to the problem of the ticket for beating Zhou, Luo Sheng's tactics are very simple: he hits him, and I hit mine.

As soon as the video communication ended, Luo Sheng made a phone call to Qin Weimu, who was doing asset management allocation at the headquarters of Shengfeng Capital, and the 4.76 trillion US dollars should be properly disposed of in specific sections, and it would take at least 12,000 employees of Shengfeng Capital for a year and a half to get it, which is quite fast.

Luo Sheng and Qin Weimu discussed the specific general direction, and a case of buying a British steel company alone had to be carefully audited and evaluated.

Fortunately, Qin Weimu and Shengfeng Capital's positioning is asset management.

After receiving Luo Sheng's news, Qin Weimu also began to deal with it according to his requirements.

……

On Tuesday, April 5, Luo Sheng began to cope.

On the same day, Hengxin International Investment Bank (HIIB) announced in a research report after the close of European stocks that it would downgrade its credit rating by one notch to AA, citing that the decision of the British Isles to hold a referendum to leave the European Union in the following June has weakened the alliance's budgetary flexibility, reflecting the organization's loss of unity and increasing uncertainty in the eurozone.

Shengfeng Capital also issued an announcement on the heel, saying that the market will not be used as a choice for the company's asset allocation for the time being, because the referendum on Brexit in the British Isles has brought uncertainty to the region, and the euro may face a severe test, and it is not optimistic.

Although the credit rating influence of Hengxin International Investment Bank is not as good as that of the three major rating agencies in North America, large investment banks have their own evaluation methods, and the rating of HIIB investment banks is undoubtedly an important reference for many investors.

And not long after entering April, I don't know where the rumors leaked out that the euro may be sniped by international bears, and it is rumored that Soros's hedge funds and Paulson's are making frequent moves.

It is not known whether the rumor broke out to trigger a sharp drop in the euro, which has fallen from a high of 1.514 to a low of nearly 1.347 since the outbreak of the sovereign debt crisis in the countries led by Xi La.

Regarding the fragility of the euro, many people think that the "big shorts" such as Luo Sheng, Soros, and Paulson are indispensable to their fuel, but the euro has its internal reasons for the sharp fall, and the big shorts have only accelerated this process.

It is hardly a coincidence that North America used the debt crisis to snipe the euro after the first round of quantitative easing, and after the second round of quantitative easing, North America is using the aftermath of the debt attack to snipe the euro.

In fact, behind this is a deeper contest, that is, a currency war between the dollar and the euro dominance, and the dollar's blow to the euro is not only aimed at the depreciation of the euro, but also against its challenge to the hegemony of the dollar in the international monetary system.

The world is complicated.

What made him nervous was that on April 7, the media exposed that the head of Paulson's hedge fund appeared at Sioux City Airport, and then exposed the shadows of a number of predators from Wall Street's investment community.

When they appeared in Suzhou City, there was almost a 90% probability that they had something to do with Luo Sheng, and these bigwigs came here except for Luo Sheng's energy, and it seemed that they couldn't find a second person.

Although there were many unpleasant things before, it would not prevent the conclusion of a new deal, and Luo Sheng invited these old friends and rivals of Wall Street to a dinner party in his personal name this time, and by the way, he was interested in a lucrative deal.

The bigwigs weren't in the slightest of the ocean for dinner, but they were interested in the deal he was talking about.

To say that the EU is not nervous when it sees this news is a lie, and if Luo Sheng gets together with Paulson's gang on Wall Street, it will not be a good thing.

Luo Sheng has trillions of dollars in liquidity and his terrifying appeal in his hands, and everyone on earth knows its power, and it seems that the alliance has finally realized that because of the less than 20 billion euros fine, it may be a bigger and more tricky bad thing.
