Chicago 1990

"It's nothing, I'm sixty-seven years old and I should retire."

In August, Julian Robertson's mood was calm: "I feel that my play and operation are okay, but... I didn't expect Vivendi Global to compromise with Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, nor did I expect Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank to have such an advantage. Tacit understanding."

In the TV screen, Messier also led the group to New York. He had a good chat with Paulson of Goldman Sachs, Edison of Deutsche Bank and others.

"When I went to the market in the US, Messier played a very beautiful hand Julian. Vivendi Global has introduced so many short-selling institutions as strategic investors, which means that he will let Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Solomon Smith Barney and Lehman Brothers. At a very cheap price, I grabbed a lot."

David Geffen complained about him: "And you have been stupidly excluded."

"Yes, Messier, a senior manager, is shameless enough. He would rather be robbed to keep the CEO position. By the same logic, he still sat and watched Lyle Cohen under investigation by the Sheriff of Wall Street after getting the endorsement of Arthur Andersen. The chief financial officer of Wangdi’s pharmaceutical company committed suicide in a'timely' way. He hurriedly sold the Seagram wine business in less than three months, even if these negative factors would lead to the management of this business. The share price of a multinational giant will never go back to 89 euros...It doesn’t matter, only in this way can he pass the responsibility to the global side and give an account to Vivendi’s shareholders, the French government and investors who have really suffered losses."

Julian Robertson sincerely accepted the criticism, "Forget it, let’s talk about it, maybe I’ve been in this business for too long, my thinking and methods have been rigid, sometimes this business requires unconstrained imagination, which is completely unreasonable. My intuition and sense of smell are the same when I was young."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Song Ya: "Sometimes it may even be better for the'newcomer', but it can make Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank's sophisticated guys unpredictable."

It seems that I am still a little bit reluctant to lose. Song Ya doesn't want to talk about futures with the guy who gave me the gift. After meeting today, I kept talking about what I saw and opened it up. As a result, I always talked about it again...

"Hahaha! APLUS is always lucky, you should listen to his Julian, don't believe in evil..."

David Geffen slapped Song Ya's shoulder cheerfully and said that he didn't kill Julian Robertson back the carbine, although Julian Robertson asked two more for help before the Tiger Fund went out.

At that time, he refused to plead too humble, so Song Ya always thought that what he had encountered was just a small problem, and finally was shocked by the Tiger Fund’s closing the door.

"By the way, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank cooperated very tacitly this time, and it became clear...Are they so relieved to hand over their backs to each other?" Song Ya interrupted.

"It is possible that Deutsche Bank has always been a big player of Nasdaq, and Goldman Sachs is nicknamed the long commander-in-chief. The two investment banks should have worked together before..."

Julian Robertson became Zhuge Liang afterwards, "Mi shares have fallen badly this year, and this time they are considered to have a good meal at Vivendi Global."

"Maybe they will put their energy back to Nasdaq?" David Geffen asked.

"Maybe, I can't predict haha!"

Julian Robertson laughed at himself. Although the Tiger Fund first won and then closed down, most of the losses are investors’ money. He himself is still a billionaire after retirement. No, a billionaire, just embarrassed. It's a bit ruthless.

Because it seems to the outside world that he sounded the short offensive clarion call, Vivendi Global’s hype during this period of time completely defeated him and his tiger fund in the futures market, and did not talk about the role of Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and other institutions. , Messier celebrates the funeral and is happy to brag about this'political achievement'.

For example, the photo he announced the closure of the Tiger Fund was used by the French media on the front page headlines and the photo of Messier laughing loudly. It showed a huge contrast, and it was clear who was the loser at a glance.

It’s good to master the media, and you can say everything by yourself.

"Stop talking, look." David Geffin murmured at the main stage.

The three of them are in the boxes of Madison Square Garden Arena in New York. The blue main stage outside is holding the 2000 Donkey Party National Convention. It is very grand and full of people. There are countless flags and Gore’s in the audience. Campaign placards and flags are waving, and the current deputy commander Gore, who has just been formally elected as the candidate for the leadership of the Donkey Party, is trotting onto the stage.

Gore's speech is the highlight of today, and he will officially unveil the final one-on-one with George Jr., the candidate of the Elephant Party.

No, two on two. After Al Gore’s speech, he will officially announce his running partner, who is also the candidate for the deputy commander, the Jewish Senator Lieberman. The deputy commander of the Elephant Party is Song Ya through John Liu. Cheney who has dealt with several times.

Cheney is also one of the PNAC bosses that Cassidy works for. Cassidy said that he has a good relationship with his second daughter.

All three of them are donkey party gold masters, top rich, and at the same time it is not convenient to appear in front of the main stage. They are in the same frame as the current chief and other politicians and other social celebrities, so they got a box.

Julian Robertson is definitely one of those who want to reduce financial supervision. Earlier, the ‘investment’ on the Elephant Party should have been even more expensive.

David Geffen donated some money but was dissatisfied with Gore's conservative appearance. Although Lieberman is of the same ethnicity as him, he is more conservative than Gore, so this year he gave the main resources to the current first lady to elect New York. State federal senator.

Song Ya and his ex-wife are because of the world-famous East Hall toilet incident... The ex-wife didn't show up at all, so they took 757 and went to a foreign business.

Gore is a good speaker. After a brief opening, he went straight to the topic: "We are entering a new era, and we are electing a new leader..."

He said: "I am standing here tonight. I want you to understand who I am."

Every good sentence will attract thunderous cheers and idolization of politicians. He is treated today like a star than a basketball star.

"Working class, you are the strength and soul of the United States, and I accept your nomination for the presidential candidate of the United States."

"They (referring to the elephant party) serve the giants, and we serve the people! Tobacco giants, oil giants, polluters, pharmaceutical companies, medical insurance consortiums...sometimes it is necessary for someone to stand up and say no to them so that our families can Have a better life."

The speech was very lengthy, about fifty minutes. Song Ya frowned as he heard it, because Gore did not make any expressions of seeking to save the Internet industry. He did not talk less about the infinite future of the Internet and brag about his important achievements, the information superhighway. , But really didn’t talk much about the current New York stock market.

After the rebound in the New York stock market, the follow-up has been weak recently. Recently, it has been volatile and consolidated, and it is still very far from returning to the high point at the beginning of the year.

Today's speech is his campaign statement, and it can also be regarded as a statement of program nature. This kind of statement cannot satisfy Song Ya. I believe other Internet industry tycoons will have similar feelings.

"He wants to please the working-class votes, so he can't talk about saving Silicon Valley and Wall Street." Julian Robertson saw through.

"Yeah." Song Ya replied with a curled mouth, and said nothing more.

"I know some people say that I am too serious, saying that I am always talking about principles and policies. Maybe I am true, but the position of the chief commander is not just a popularity contest. He is a process of fighting for the people day after day. ! Sometimes you have to choose to make difficult choices and unintelligible decisions..."

Although George, the party candidate, doesn't look very clever, he is very friendly. Conservative whites prefer George. That's why Gore said this.

"Sometimes I really don't understand. He wanted to win votes from conservative voters this time, so he chose a partner who was more conservative than him, but he supported environmental protection. This blue-collar industrial working class cares most about the most disliked issue..."

Song Ya complained.

"Because little George can't get the liberal votes, so the fight for the point is naturally conservative voters. This is a question of the direction of the campaign decision." David Geffen explained.

"Because the people who are most loyal to you don't need to be pleased, right?" Julian Robertson laughed.

"It's just a campaign promise for the masses." David Geffen replied: "Loyalty will always be rewarded, such as bailing out the market. We should all have a tacit understanding on this point. When he officially takes office next year...not by language but by seeing Action at the moment."

Although David Geffen doesn't like Gore, he is looking forward to the rescue after he wins the election.

This guy must have been trapped a lot, Song Ya thought to himself.

"Did he talk about the current chief in his speech today?" Julian Robertson asked suddenly.

"It seems... I mentioned it once?" Song Ya recalled, "Praise him for bringing the country into the longest period of economic expansion in history?"

"You have a good memory, and I feel that it is only once." David Geffen said, this kind of compliment is usually in a cliché, and the three of them didn't pay much attention to counting.

"Expanding health care, environmental protection, improving education, targeted tax cuts and campaign fiscal reforms, conservative values..." Julian Robertson counted: "We didn't talk much about military or diplomacy."

"I will never let you down..."

On the main stage, Gore concluded his speech with this promise, and then invited the running partner Lieberman and his wife to come to the stage. The two families hugged together to show unity. Numerous colorful balloons floated down above the arena, and the atmosphere reached its climax.

Song Ya scratched his head. His first instinct was that he was dissatisfied with Gore's speech. Of course, he also knew that he was not a professional, so let's ask Sloan later.

"In short, he is now leading the polls, the margin is not small." David Geffen said.

After all, he spent 10 million yuan. Although it was the ‘famous’ of pouring water, Song Ya’s heart was relieved a lot, and when the show ended, he turned and left the box.

Julian Robertson followed and looked at the black pharaoh quietly. Sometimes he couldn't help but think about what would happen if the opponent still kept a joint operation with him before the liquidation?

‘Discipline, discipline...’ Just the word that the other party repeatedly emphasized made me frustrated. With him, at least he wouldn’t lose so badly, right?

In addition to singing, composing, acting, and screenwriting in my business, even investment, elections, and even **** futures are played in a decent way. In four days, in four trading days in France, this kid made more than what he had accumulated on Wall Street for two decades. Total net worth...

People really don't accept the old.

David Geffen is also observing. At twenty-five years old, he fought against the multinational giants with a market value of hundreds of billions of Bronfman, and finally won. He now regrets that he played at the Bronfman. Eye drops, now I just pray that the little Bronfman will not confide this thing in time...

"By the way, when Messier went to New York, the landlord Bronfman didn't appear together? Isn't he still chairman of the Seagram Universal board?" Julian Robertson just mentioned the Bronfman.

Song Ya had received the assurance from the old Bronfman, and heard from Sam Bronfman his speculation that the young Bronfman was ‘controlled’, but he would not tell the two tycoons around him.

"Messier seems to be planning to form a new Universal Entertainment company to manage film, music and media affairs. The former President of Universal Pictures Ron Meyer will be promoted to President of Universal Entertainment, which is tantamount to taking the little Bronfman. www.uukanshu.com" David Geffen is well-informed by the turmoil in Hollywood.

"That's it..." Julian Robertson nodded and asked Song Ya: "You will start quoting the Seagram wine business at the end of the month, right?"

"Yes." Song Ya nodded, "Do you want to participate? A lot of money is needed. I teamed up with Bacardi to bid."

"Actually, you can reach a certain tacit understanding with other competitors and jointly lower the price of the Seagram wine industry." David Geffen contributed to the poison.

"Forget it, I won't play tricks anymore if I promised." Song Ya refused.

"All right, then count me." David Geffen smiled, and he also wanted to pee, "Julian, how about you?"

"Forget it, I'm not interested in direct investment in industry." Julian Robertson shook his head.

The three of them talked and walked out of the hallway of the box. The Speaker of the Donkey Party, with Underwood, Patricia and other representatives of the Donkey Party, was already waiting for the benefactors. Song Ya took a big step. David Geffen and Julian Robertson, with one left and one right, approached with a smile and reached out to hold each other.
