Chapter 445: The Power of Media
After signing a VAM agreement with Yousheng Group, things will be very simple. What Li Han did was what Wall Street did with Yikang at the time: short their shares.
The so-called short-selling, that is, after determining that the stock price of a company will fall, the shares of the company in hand are sold first, and then bought back after the shares fall to a low price, so that the shares held in the hands remain unchanged, but an extra amount of money can be made out of thin air.
There is no shorting in the domestic stock market due to institutional reasons, but it is reasonable and legal to shorting in the United States.
Because in this country, you can talk to the securities agency
"Borrowing" shares in a company. For example, Li Han can borrow one million shares of Samsung from a securities institution, sell the million shares for $100 million, and then release all kinds of scandals and bad news about the company, and when the price of Samsung's shares drops, he buys them back for $70 million, and finally returns the million shares to the securities company, and the extra $30 million is the profit from this short-selling.
There are even many specialized short-selling institutions on Wall Street, just waiting to see which company has bearish news, and they are desperate to short these companies to make money, such as the shares of Tesla, the world's richest man Elon Musk, have been shorted by these short-selling institutions for a long time.
And Li Han's ability is actually very suitable for shorting a company, but he didn't do it just to build the reputation of a legendary investor.
But this approach could not be more appropriate against these unscrupulous South Korean chaebols.
Therefore, after the contract was signed, Li Han began to prepare the negative report of the Samsung chaebol. The so-called bearish report is to list evidence that the company's stock price will fall, such as senior executives embezzlement, embezzlement, and the company's false accounts and concealment of long-term losses.
However, the Samsung chaebol is the largest chaebol in South Korea, and even the government does not dare to offend the existence in South Korea.
To get exposed, you have to have some financial and operational news. The reason why it is very difficult to shake Samsung is that its influence in South Korea is a factor, but the main reason is that Samsung has a complete mobile phone production line, from chips to technology to factories.
As a result, Samsung is still the world's best-selling phone. But...... Companies with mobile phones as their main industry must have a weakness, and that is rare earths.
What rare earth resources can South Korea have? So 80% of the country's rare earth resources are imported from China.
There are a large number of original components in mobile phones, including display screens and chips, which need to use rare earths, and mobile phones cannot be made without rare earths.
There is a limit to how much China can export rare earths each year, and although some of Samsung's original parts will be imported from elsewhere, the chip is the heart of a mobile phone, and this part is definitely made by the company itself.
Therefore, as long as the export price and quantity of certain types of rare earths are adjusted by means of side knocks, Li Han can make Samsung's cost of making mobile phones increase significantly.
In addition, there is the dispute between Samsung and its employees: in the past, a group of Samsung's employees suffered from cancer due to long-term exposure to toxic conditions, and these people have been engaged in a legal battle with Samsung for many years.
Li Han can determine through the big data app that something like this has happened a few times. Coupled with scandals such as chip qualification rate fraud, high-level D absorption, bribery of the South Korean government, etc., these together are bound to have an impact on Samsung.
But Li Han's home field is still domestic after all, so he wants to do something with Samsung in China. Since Samsung withdrew from the domestic market, it has set up factories in India, Vietnam and other places, but with little success.
In December last year, Samsung spent 200 billion yuan to try to re-enter the Chinese market. If this wave of re-entry into the Chinese market fails, Samsung's stock price will inevitably be hit by a more obvious round.
At this time, Li Han took advantage of the situation to short-sell, and his goal was achieved. Once the plan is ready, the next step is to execute it step by step.
Li Han first contacted Jin Zhixun's side and told him to do some small things.
"Huh? Do we still need to do these things? Kim Ji-hoon asked in surprise.
"Isn't this nonsense? The $100 billion rise is also on your company, am I trying to help you wait for the benefits to be picked up for nothing? Li Han glanced at him angrily,
"Besides, I'm not in Korea, so how can I have your convenience for many things?"
"This ...... I didn't mean that, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to complete the tasks you gave and affect your plans. Kim Ji-hoon said with his head down.
Although he is the CEO, to put it bluntly, he is an errand under the board of directors, and he can't manage things at all, and he has to report to the above to make decisions, which is completely different from Li Han.
"Don't worry, I've assigned you simple tasks." Li Han frowned and said,
"Number one, some people on my side want you to go over and investigate, and I have reason to suspect that they are people who were affected by the toxic environment when they were working at Samsung. Some of them may no longer be there, but you still have to expose it, and the bigger the trouble, the better. ”
"However, if it is known by the people of Samsung, we are afraid that we will be implicated...... "Kim Zhixun said embarrassed.
"Then you give the clue to a conscientious reporter and ask him to investigate, and I want to teach you this?" Li Han said dissatisfiedly,
"What do you do as a CEO?"
"I'm so sorry......" Kim Ji-hoon hurriedly bowed his head.
"Also, remember to find someone to protect the family secretly and make sure that the news can be revealed. As long as it can expose the media, it doesn't have to make Samsung sanctioned. Li Han advised,
"And then there is some information that Samsung falsified on the test data of the chip, and you can also find someone to expose it. You don't need me to teach you these details, right? You're not a small company anymore. ”
"Yes." Kim Ji-hoon responded,
"We will find some foreign media to expose these news, and maybe even involve some bribery scandals......"
"You can just watch and handle this kind of collateral scandal yourself, these are side dishes, so let you deal with it, and I will prepare the key main dishes." Li Han pointed to himself and said,
"In addition, in terms of business, you have to cooperate with my company. This is to use my status as a legendary investor to help you get the stock price up, understandable? ”
"This ......" Kim Ji-hoon hesitated a little,
"I'll have to report back to the people up there."
"Well, there you go." Li Han hugged his arm,
"But how important is the Chinese market right now, you don't need me to remind you, right? Even Samsung has spent a lot of money preparing to enter the Chinese market again, what are you doing? I'm giving you this great opportunity to work directly with the Chinese market, are you still planning to miss it? ”
"Yes, I know." Kim Ji-hoon said respectfully,
"Our company also wants to cooperate with China, but I want to report to the above about the process......" Li Han nodded with satisfaction: "There is a saying in our country that those who know the times are Junjie, I hope you can understand this." There are only advantages to cooperating with the Chinese market as soon as possible. After explaining to Yousheng Group, the next thing is for him to play in person.
It is very simple to make the stock price of Yousheng Group rise, Li Han, as a legendary investor, domestic capital will follow him to buy the stock price of Yousheng Group.
In addition, Yousheng Group's industries are mainly new energy, aviation machinery, chemical materials, construction and financial services, and it can cooperate with many companies under Li Han in these aspects.
This can help Yousheng Group easily enter the Chinese market, and with the help of Qiaokou Company, it means that this company has been recognized by legendary investors, this company's potential is unlimited, and the stock price will definitely rise in the future, so there will be more and more people buying this company's shares, so that the stock price of Yousheng Group will rise wildly.
As for making Samsung Group's stock price fall, these gossip can only add fuel to the fire, and the real key is to let Samsung announce the failure of entering the Chinese market for the second time.
First of all, this will lead to the waste of nearly 200 billion funds of Samsung, and the most important thing is that now the banks in the United States are in a mess, and the Federal Reserve is printing more money in order to save these bankrupt banks, and the money will continue to raise interest rates after printing, and the dollar will continue to flow back, and the market will seriously lack investment.
At this time, the only thing South Korea can rely on is intra-Asian cooperation. Japan and South Korea have recently had bad relations, and if they want to ensure the company's development, they can only win the Chinese market.
So if Samsung's entry into the Chinese market fails again, coupled with various negative news, as well as Li Han's shorting, the stock price is bound to plummet.
In between, it has become a key point for Samsung to not be able to enter the Chinese market. How to prevent Samsung from entering the Chinese market?
When Samsung launched the domestic market because of differential treatment, they may feel that Chinese have no memory and will only be greedy for cheap, and they don't care what happened before when they have cheap and good mobile phones.
Then Li Han has to break the situation according to these two points, and to do this, he has to further improve his control of the media.
It just so happened that after the battle of the Singapore dollar, the bridge company, the cranberry company and he personally still had about 50 billion in hand, which was enough for him to implement his plan.
If there are shortcomings, let the bridge bank make up for it.
"Nana, help me contact the CEO of Station D and tell him that Qiaokou Company wants to take a stake." Li Han made a phone call,
"It's time to put aside old grudges from the past and work together again."
