American Fortune Life

Regarding Apple's choice to breach the contract and pay the price to fill the deep hole left by Ping An Di, although from any point of view, Andy took advantage of it, but in his view, it is also a helpless choice. Whether it is a game company or an app store, the carrier of icrazy mobile phone is needed.

However, in less than half a year, it is just a one-paper agreement that can anger Apple's 300 million US dollars in liquidated damages. At least in the short term, it is definitely a good deal with huge profits, without input and output, manpower and material resources. If you spend it, you can get a huge amount of money, no matter how you look at it, you will not suffer.

Besides, this is just the beginning. After all, on the way to cheat Apple, Andy has decided to go all the way. The best way to suck blood from Apple is to work hard on its stock value.

As for the loss of the App Store due to Apple's possible breach of contract, Andy is not too worried. Negotiations can be delayed for a while at least. As long as it is delayed until November, Android will release the source code, and then it will be ready. Focus on Android.

According to Apple's greed, it is conceivable what kind of sharing agreement its app store will set up. Although it can occupy the official advantage, but to put it bluntly, it is still necessary to make profit, and there will naturally be a price war to snatch resources. .

Listening to the several plans mentioned by Michael Wright, Andy is quite satisfied. Although Apple has decided to open its own app store, it will take at least a few months before it goes public. Michael Wright guesses that the most likely It is possible that when the new icrazy mobile phone is launched, it will be launched at the same time, so the negotiation will start now to terminate the contract of Liberty City APP for the icrazy mobile phone.

This period of time is enough to establish the market position and share of Liberty City. After all, there will be more and more companies in the application software market in the future, and no one can eat alone.

The sky in the middle of the night was as black as ink, and some gray clouds were as ethereal as spiral galaxies, accompanied by many star points, and the moon hung on the dark curtain in a dim yellow crescent.

Andy, in loose casual attire, boarded the plane to London with three female assistants who were also in comfortable casual attire.

In the first-class cabin, the stewardess kindly helped Andy adjust the seat, spread a thick blanket, and put the pillows before leaving after repeatedly confirming that he had no other needs. Andy smiled lightly, took off his shoes, and stood up. Pillow, lean back in the seat, pick up the Predator Team's detailed report on the hedge against the UK financial markets and look up.

In fact, when he was playing in the amusement park with two little beauties in Las Vegas, he received a run on depositors from Northam Rock Bank, the fifth largest mortgage lender in the UK.

The subprime mortgage crisis, which was supposed to calm down, has not been passed as everyone hoped.

They are just digesting the emergency bailout funds. With the further deepening of the financial crisis, Britain, which has always believed that the bailout and the government should not interfere in the financial market, finally began to taste the bitter wine they brewed.

On September 14th, Northam Rock Bank issued a profit warning, pointing out that the rise in interest rates was unexpected, credit shrinkage problems led to a slowdown in asset growth, and it is expected that the pre-tax profit for the whole year of 2007 will be 20% lower than expected about.

And the group of predators who chose these mortgage lenders as their target hedge early on has been questioning the earnings status of these banks holding US subprime debt by hiring financial experts and some media since September , All kinds of analysis, bad-mouthing, to shake the confidence of the British people.

Speaking of these methods, for this group of people from Wall Street, they are familiar with the road. Don’t be too simple. way to fuel this hype.

It seems to be clamoring and bad-mouthing the British banking industry all day long, but in fact, all the sharks swimming on the bottom of the sea are waiting for a trace of blood that inadvertently flows out.

The profit warning of Northam Rock Bank is undoubtedly the bloody smell that made the sharks start to boil and fight for their prey. Choosing to withdraw cash, when a Northam Rock bank was withdrawn from cash and chose to refuse the public to withdraw cash, the media began to fuel the flames, doing various live reports and direct attacks, which completely detonated the panic of the British people.

Since the run on Northam Rock Bank across the UK at noon on September 14, 2007, as of September 18 yesterday, more than 3 billion pounds had flowed out of Northam Rock Bank in just a few days, accounting for About 12% of the bank's total deposits of more than 24 billion pounds, its telephone banking and online banking business once collapsed. Affected by this, the stock price of Northern Rock Bank fell by 70% in the past few days, hitting a seven-year low , becoming the UK's biggest victim since the subprime mortgage crisis.

And the predator group that started to reap profits unceremoniously plundered 480 million pounds from Northam Rock Bank. Although the decline in several other banks was not so serious, the predators The team also took down more than 200 million pounds.

Andy looked at the details of the financial statements marked on the information, and couldn't help laughing out loud. He was very satisfied, extremely satisfied. After more than a month of planning, he finally bit off a piece of meat from the British guy, a total of 700 million With the gains in pounds, Andy has been happy for a whole day.

In order to prevent the emergence of the systemic banking crisis, the British Treasury, the Bank of England and the Monetary Authority have successively adopted rescue measures such as capital injection and deposit account guarantees. The predator group that has just harvested the first huge profit has concentrated funds on several Only the bank stocks whose stock prices have been cut in half have turned back and carried out crazy low-price sweeps. After the run on depositors has eased and the panic in the banking system has been brought under control, the stock prices of major banks have also been madly swept by predators. Coupled with the strong rebound in the market, bank stock prices have also risen to varying degrees.

Although the proceeds from the liquidation settlement have not yet been finalized for this reverse operation, Andy still can guarantee a profit of 200 to 300 million pounds. After all, the prepared funds are sufficient to leverage the stock price.

To be honest, the current group of predators has become famous in the British financial world, taking away nearly 1 billion pounds in four days. The big boss of this team, Andy Smith, the youngest billionaire in the world, especially the people from the British Monetary Authority, is on the alert.

And those hot money and hot money that also made huge profits in this run on the storm, more recognized this predator fund, wanting to continue to follow behind it to obtain greater returns, they also look forward to Andy Smith The next moves of this young fortune myth.

Although it's not the most eye-catching, but under the attention of many parties, Andy Smith took three female assistants and six bodyguards down the hanging ladder, passed through the business channel, and saw the predator coming to pick up the plane at the entrance of the channel. Several members of the team had been waiting for a long time, with smiles on their faces, they nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good job!"

"Thank you boss for your appreciation, boss please..."

The ostentation of Andy and his party caused many people to wait and see curiously. When Andy's bodyguard in front walked out of the gate of London Heathrow Airport, reporters and paparazzi swarmed from both sides immediately surrounded the way of Andy and his party. A leak.

"Mr. Smith, what do you think of your hedge fund taking away tens of pounds in a few days..."

"I heard that you are going to buy the Tottenham club..."

"Will you invest in the UK..."

"How do you feel about the current financial risk in the UK..."

The frenzied flashing lights and the noisy and crowded scene made Andy's six bodyguards feel like they were facing an enemy. The two bodyguards behind them were even more stern. One hand pushed away the reporters who were pushing forward from time to time, and the other hand pushed them away. Spread out to cover Andy's figure.

Andy frowned. He didn't expect that he would be surrounded by reporters as soon as he got off the plane, and the questions he yelled were so tricky and mean. It was obvious that someone wanted to make trouble, or he wanted to give this young man a little color. .

He could even imagine that in tomorrow's newspapers, he would definitely be portrayed by these media as a gangster who robbed the British financial market and established his image as an unpopular person.

"Do you want to dismount?"

Finally, under the isolation of the airport security, Andy sat safely in the Rolls-Royce Phantom car. Looking at the reporters who were flailing their teeth and claws outside the car window and taking wild pictures with their cameras, their faces sank like water, and a sneer muttered at the corner of their mouths. One sentence.
