Chicago 1990

"The French gameplay is that the single-day increase of a stock exceeds 21.25% of the closing price of the previous day, and a decrease of 18.75% will automatically stop trading, and the fluctuation exceeds 10% of the closing price of the previous day. Trading was suspended for fifteen minutes."

On June 19th, Song Ya and his party arrived in Barcelona, ​​Spain, in the same time zone of Paris. Of course, it was the propaganda of Running Blade 2. They just checked into the hotel. He and Tiger Fund boss Julian Robertson made the final call on the eve of the war.

"In the first stage after Vivendi Universal’s resumption of the market, what we need to worry about most is that other giants will have the idea of ​​washing us out first. Of course, that’s unlikely, Vivendi Gasigram Universal, After the market resumes, it will open at 89 euros per share, so the market value is also 89 billion euros... A company with such a large volume is too risky. Under the global stock market crash, Vivendi itself has gone from four to four. The monthly highs have fallen a lot, and they are in a downward channel, and the long side is under more pressure. Neither the Vivendi or the Bronfman family are likely to come up and end in person. Their most likely shot time will probably be at Vivendi Global’s stock price plummeted to a certain point, determined to defend the market...that was also our most dangerous moment."

Julian Robertson walked around with his mobile phone in the Tiger Fund’s Wall Street office, and all the traders were already in place in the outside trading room.

"Recently, U.S. stocks have driven the global stock market to recover..." Song Ya's tone on the other end of the phone was calm, but Julian Robertson could still vaguely feel a hint of lack of confidence.

"Well, this is indeed a place that is not very beneficial to us. You still have time to regret it." Julian Robertson deliberately irritated the other party. He felt that the young black pharaoh, who was sitting on billions of net worth at a young age, should not be able to stand it.

"It's impossible... Anyway, keep in touch. Everything is as we agreed." There was no mood swing on the other end of the phone. Song Ya then emphasized: "Discipline... It's important to enforce discipline."

"Don't worry, there can be no mistakes on my side."

According to the prior agreement, Tiger Fund and Song Ya based on the bubble ratio of DefJam Records and combined with the estimates of other subsidiaries of Universal Music. Vivendi is the estimated value of fundamentals. A very complicated algorithm model is used to determine the profit margin. The stock price of the market: 73 Euros, which is roughly the one-day limit of Vivendi Global, which is a decrease of 18.5%.

It's not that I won't be short-selling anymore, but that it will operate under the premise of lowering the leverage and keeping the principal at that time, which is safer.

The specific technical details such as leverage, option hedging, and securities lending combinations will be taken care of by the more professional side. Various plans have already been agreed. After Julian Robertson hangs up the phone, he directly turns off the phone, opens the back cover, and then Take out the SIM card used for the first time behind the battery, fold it in half, and throw it into the trash can.

Songya in Barcelona did the same, getting closer and closer to France. Vivendi is the top company included in the blue chip index by the Paris Exchange. You can't be too careful. "Charlie, do you need to take a rest first?"

Song Ya just talked to Julian Robertson in front of the director of the station Charles Skinner. This white-haired old man was also the first person to understand this operation outside of the plan. The media position under his banner was too important. He and Brown The Fuman family are both Jewish, and they are not at ease in close control under their noses at critical moments.

"No need to…"

Before the station was ordered to sing down the Global Department, Skinner performed well, but he only took the opportunity to retaliate because of the American music website case brought by Universal, which caused Littman’s media loss to a factor of 100 million. I really didn’t expect it. As the rumors suggest, the big boss has indeed joined forces with the Tiger Fund early to produce a series of incidents such as a short-selling report.

From what I just heard, I still couldn't understand the real intention of the big boss in deceiving him to Spain. The media people have been doing nothing for so many years. Skinner stood up and smiled: "I'm not too old."

"Ok."

At this time, the big boss in Skinner's eyes looked quite tired, his eyebrows were always slightly frowned, his hands were absent-mindedly playing with the phone, and after a soft promise, he said, "Your phone may need to be kept by Mike. If there is something to look for... he or my other bodyguards will tell you. Is it okay?"

"Of course, of course..."

Skinner obediently took out the phone and handed it to the opponent's bodyguard.

"Please sit down..." Song Ya gestured towards the sofa, "Your guest room is next door."

"Ok."

The big boss didn’t pay attention to herself anymore, so Skinner sat down and silently observed the environment. In this presidential suite, apart from the boss himself, only his bodyguards occasionally came in and out. The actress Halle Berry in pajamas came out of the bedroom from time to time. Wander around for two laps, and chat with him a few very homely gossips.

The TV is playing French Canal+ Finance Channel, and occasionally some fans and movie fans ‘APLUS! APLUS! ’And other shouts in Spanish.

"If you don't go out of the hotel, other guests will protest again." Halle Berry said.

"Well."

Song Ya was pushed to the balcony by her, and then went out to appear alone.

The cheers were louder outside, and Skinner could only see his tall back, he was waving his hands below, ‘oh yeah! Oh! Oh! The cheers quickly evolved into the song that fans sang his cup of life.

The single arm raised high from the back was twisted greatly along with the span, and he played with the fans very professionally for a while, and then sent a kiss and asked them to calm down, quickly soothing the crowd.

Only twenty-five or six years old! Tomorrow, we will play a frightening futures game with Global Capital on a multinational company with a market value of nearly 100 billion. Skinner looked at this scene and really admired the big boss's maturity and determination beyond age.

"Really, except for Beimi, wherever I go, the local media will ask me to perform the Cup of Life live, even if I hum a few words on the talk show."

The big boss obviously enjoyed the interaction with the fans. When he returned to the room, he was in a better mood with naked eyes. He kissed Hallie, who was hiding behind the balcony, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly in a hypocritical and triumphant tone.

This song has helped him too much around the world. Skinner knows that whether it is his personal popularity, Coca-Cola endorsements or record sales, even the small global distribution network of the metropolitan distribution company relies heavily on this song. The song started in the summer of 1998, and it has continued its popularity ever since.

"I heard that MJ is about to release a new special, the end of this year or the beginning of next year." Skinner, who was under house arrest in disguise, asked for a chat.

"Well, I heard that too, MJ seems to be not doing well these days."

Finally, starting from 1992 and 1993, the series of cases that have been shrouded in the surrounding area got rid of. MJ fell into bankruptcy suspicion last year. The honeymoon period between him and Sony Columbia Records seems to have passed. He complained several times this year about Sony Columbia’s His lack of resources led to a dystocia in the new franchise. He and the white nurse who had a flash marriage had also divorced, and he got the custody of a pair of children...

In short, unlike the previous malicious ones, the Yingmi tabloid now has a kind of gloating energy when he mentions him, holing his mind to report on his various embarrassments.

"Will he really go bankrupt?" When Song Ya mentioned this topic, he remembered his record copyright in Sony, and asked.

"I don't know." Skinner shrugged.

"That seems to be fake, no matter what, you top news people are always the first to know." Song Ya teased him.

"Not so exaggerated." Skinner shook his head and smiled.

Before the two were separated by Ms. Sloan, there was very little interaction, and there was a sense of awkwardness in the conversation. The truth is about to be seen tomorrow, stressed and worried, and Song Ya soon fell silent again.

Skinner felt that he needed to take this opportunity to show his loyalty. After all, he was in a key position and his Jewish background was guarded against the battle between the big boss and the Bronfman family. This was a bad sign for his career.

He himself has no intersection with the Bronfman family. He only interviewed the other side a few times when the old Bronfman was the chairman of the Global Jewish Congress, which happened many years ago. Young Bronfman borrowed money from Deutsche Bank, and then the old Bronfman reconciled with UBS on behalf of the ethnic group. Knowing some inside stories, he had no feelings for that family.

"Without mentioning influence, simply grasping the media will really be more informed. This is good for other investments. There is a proverb in our ethnic group, "There is a golden mountain between the millimeters." The time to get the news itself means business opportunities, especially in the rapid changes. Securities market."

He proactively said: "Or simply create news and use the media to manipulate market confidence in the direction you want. For example, during the Asian financial crisis, Roth used the media to use the media as an example of the failure of the Mexican financial crisis rescue to create a momentum and pressure the current chief. , So that the U.S. government and the World Bank and other financial institutions did not immediately lend a helping hand to Thailand and other countries... and those speculators who play high-frequency trading, the purpose of spending a lot of money to upgrade the network speed is to be one-thousandth faster than others Second advantage."

"Yes, the station did a good job this time."

Song Ya heard that the old man was inviting credit, and he casually encouraged him. It was the first time that he recognized Taiwan’s recent performance and used the media to advertise its securities speculation. “Am I still not doing enough? Or not mature enough?” Just ask.

"I am not qualified to be beaked."

Skinner replied: "You know Mr. APLUS, I am a more traditional media person, and I have been working on news all my life."

"Ok."

Skinner and McAvoy, the golden partner, are considered media people with a bottom line, "Relax, I will keep my previous promise to you and let you do the news that you are willing to do." Song Ya blinked at him. Eyes, "Of course, in other innocuous places, such as this time, I also need your 100% support. In the media, especially the global media field, the gap between us and Vivendi Global is too big."

"Yes... Vivendi CEO Messier is regarded by the French as a hero and **** of business after completing the merger with Seagram Global. On a global scale, after years of rapid expansion of Vivendi Global under his management, The optical media field can stand side by side with Murdoch’s News Corporation, Eisner’s Disney ABC, Redstone’s Viacom, Steve Case’s AOL Time Warner, and Welch’s General Electric NBC."

Skinner feels that he has the responsibility to remind the big boss, even if his loyalty is against his ears, "We are still too weak. The recent advantages in public opinion in the United States are only because Messier has not had time to integrate the media resources of the two countries. , The U.S. TV network was sold to Barry Diller early by the Jr. Bronfman, and the repurchase was not completed yet. There was a gap in the gap and the response was not fast enough this time..."

"Yes it is."

As far as the strength of Litman Media is concerned, even Barry Diller’s U.S. TV network can't be beaten. Song Ya knows this very well. “Fortunately, the market’s response to the Tiger Fund’s short selling report has been enthusiastic.”

"Maybe it's not enough," Skinner said.

"There is always no perfect thing in this world, right?" Song Ya knew that it was not enough, but the abilities of himself and the Avengers were at most, and Da Shi couldn't help but mention it again.

He looked at the TV screen and was silent again.

"It's a bit late, I should go to rest." Skinner could feel the big boss's mood change, and said goodbye.

"good night."

Song Ya maintained his posture, and muttered to herself after hearing the sound of closing the door: "There is a golden mountain in the distance..." Randomly chuckled, "For example, different religious backgrounds have different understandings of lending, right?"

"APLUS, there is a new rumor..." At this time, the phone with a new SIM card and new number rang, and it was still from Julian Robertson.

"We made an appointment to contact you cautiously." Is it true that you don't need money for the local phone card? Song Ya was unhappy and contacted in advance to complain about the breach of the agreement.

"APLUS has arrived in Barcelona."

"To shut up!"

In the old castle at the same time, the little Bronfman had a stronger feeling of pressure. UU read www.uukanshu.com he looked at Song Ya who was interacting with fans on the TV, and drank his babble sister, "You will give it to me tomorrow. Behave normally! Don't lose the face of the family!"

"Oh." The two sisters agreed casually.

At this time, the phone rang, and the three brothers and sisters suffered cold and violence. The cousin who was sitting far away at the other end of the long dining table readily answered, "I'm looking for you." Throwing the microphone from above the countless antique candlesticks.

"Hello..." Little Bronfman took it and glared at him.

"Barry Diller." It was his'former teacher' Barry Diller. "Little Edgar, I heard some rumors... uh..."

"What's the bad news? That's it." He heard the frustration and hesitation of the other party, "I'm used to it."

"A friend on Wall Street told me that Vivendi may have conducted financial fraud in order to acquire Global. They concealed at least 10 billion euros in debt..." Barry Diller said.

Little Bronfman petrified in an instant, and the microphone slipped silently from his hand.
