Los Angeles.
Gale Capital Branch.
"Flying from New York to Los Angeles overnight, it was hard work all the way." Zucker said while looking at the person who came.
"It's not hard work, everything is for Dafeng Capital." The visitor spoke very respectfully.
- Andy Chelop!
He is a senior partner of Dafeng Capital and currently serves as the president of Dafeng Capital. He is a powerful general under the leadership of Zhu Ke.
Andy: "Boss, this is the result of our efforts in recent months."
While talking, he submitted a thick stack of materials to Zu Ke.
"These are all about Enron?" Zucker said, pointing to the information on the table.
"Yes, it's all An Ran's information."
Andy said solemnly, "You know, Wall Street has no secrets."
"In order to avoid a lot of Wall Street dogs, we can only keep a low profile in secret, and the data collection speed is much slower, but the result is ideal. I can guarantee that other investment banks on Wall Street have absolutely no idea that we are planning Enron."
The voice fell.
Zucker nodded with satisfaction.
The layout of An Ran in advance, and the low-key and secretiveness, was enough for Zucker to take the fattest bite of An Ran who was about to collapse.
As for the whale swallowing it all?
Zucker didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't have such a big appetite.
Classmate Zhu Ke was also worried about being overwhelmed.
After all, the investment banks on Wall Street are not so easy to get along with.
"Anti, what is the current attitude of other Wall Street investment banks towards Enron?" Zucker asked suddenly.
The goal must be clear, and the situation of the peers must also be paid attention to.
After all, a bunch of Wall Street counterparts will grab a bite to eat!
After thinking for a few seconds, Andy replied: "More than 20 investment banks, including Lang Siji, Winkels, Baron, Huili, etc., have made it clear that they have funds deployed safely, and the commotion is not small."
Lang Siji, Winkels, Baron, Whaley...
Zucker has heard of these Wall Street peers.
They belong to medium-sized investment companies on Wall Street, with roughly $1 billion to $9 billion of funds under management, and are almost at the same level of investment banks as Zucker's Gale Capital.
Strength, capital, connections, and information channels... These things are almost standard for medium-sized investment banks.
Still, Zucker isn't worried about them!
"In terms of the five investment banks, what's the recent reaction?"
What Zucker is really worried about is Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers and other five investment banks.
Hearing this, Andy immediately blurted out: "They have already entered the venue."
In an instant, Zu Ke was energized.
Each of the five major investment banks has a long history, holds a large amount of capital, and its information collection ability is the best in the world. Anyone who dares to despise them will surely regret it. Once any of the five investment banks is fully operational, they can destroy some effective economic systems in a very short period of time.
Chilean silver crisis, European silver inflation, Mexican financial crisis, Asian financial crisis, Japan Plaza Accord...
These destructive and wide-ranging financial events all have the shadow of the five major Wall Street investment banks behind them.
They are the real financial emperors!
Even if Zhu Ke, as a transmigrator, has the advantage of foresight, he cannot compete with any of the five major investment banks.
Foresight?
The biggest advantage of traversers!
However, after you really devote yourself to the financial industry, you will find that the advantage of foresight will be greatly weakened, because the financial market is changing rapidly. A rise or fall of 1 to 3 points can make all your funds disappear. Even a change of a few tenths of a percent can cost you dearly.
The financial manipulators involved are not cold, unintelligent machines.
They are... people!
They are all battle-hardened, intelligent, and extremely cunning hunters!
If you really think you can crush them by relying on your foresighted advantage,
That's a complete idiot's dream, and if it doesn't work, it will be played to death, and there will be no place for burial.
"The advantage of foresight, as the welfare of the traveler, it can only serve as a guiding reference for me. How to make a final decision depends entirely on changes in the market."
This is Zucker's financial investment philosophy.
Andy looked at Zhu Ke and said solemnly: "Boss, I am quite sure that the five major investment banks have already participated. However, I don't know how long they have been in the layout and how much money they have invested."
After a pause, he added: "To be precise, when they didn't trigger it, it was impossible for us to know how much money they invested."
The five major investment banks are like mountains, standing high in the sky and overlooking all the investment banks.
dong dong dong~
Zu Ke tapped the table with his right hand, and said solemnly, "We don't need to know the size of the funds. However, one thing should be for sure, they definitely belong to the short side of Enron."
Andy responded: "Roughly judging the result, they and we will not be on opposite sides."
Zhu Ke clapped his palms and said with a smile, "That's enough!"
Everyone has the same interests, and Zucker has nothing to worry about.
The result is nothing more than a question of earning more and earning less!
......
a few days later.
The calm water once again burst into countless splashes.
Negative news about the Enron company is constantly being exposed!
The first to bear the brunt is Enron Energy Services, one of Enron's subsidiaries and one of the most powerful.
"According to the reporter of this station, the ace product of Enron Energy Services Company is Enron Online. As an Internet company, its purpose of existence is to provide faster online services for global investors."
Coal, Credit Risk Control, Crude Oil and Its Products, Electricity, Emissions Permitting, Energy Procurement, Energy Asset Management, Think Tanks, Equipment Management, Forest Products, Freight, Media Risk Control, Metal Trading, Natural Gas, Timber, LPG, Petrochemicals .....
There is even extensive futures trade in sugar, coffee, wool, fish and other meats.
There are more than 800 kinds of products provided as a whole.
From 2000 to 2001, Enron Online was rated as "the most popular investment platform" by Fortune magazine because of its good information services.
Its powerful influence in energy trading was once comparable to that of Bloomberg.
For the whole year of 2000, Enron Online disclosed a total of 4.2 billion US dollars in revenue, ranking among the top among similar products.
"However, according to the latest findings of the special investigation team, Enron Online's clearly recorded and verifiable revenue in 2000 was only $3.7 billion."
"How did Enron Online earn the extra $500 million..."
"As of now, Enron has not been able to give a detailed report."
5 with a dollar gap?
There is a possibility of concealing reality and falsely reporting revenue!
For a time, the outside world's doubts about Enron once again rose up.
......
Gale Capital (Los Angeles) branch.
Andy said excitedly: "Boss, the source of the information has been roughly determined. It was either Goldman Sachs or Merrill Lynch who assisted the investigation team in exposing Enron Online."
Hearing this, Zhu Ke couldn't help clenching his fists and shouted ok.
"Good good, very good!"
Zucker laughed and said: "It's either Goldman Sachs or Merrill Lynch, I don't care which of them it is! At least one fact has been confirmed, one of the five investment banks is no longer ignoring but standing up."
This is undoubtedly good news.
The top five investment banks are bound to stir up the situation to the greatest extent.
Zhu Ke said again: "An Di, how much money have we made from An Ran?"
Andy replied: "We started the formal layout in March 2001. Because we adhered to the principle of low-key, our actions were not large, and we did not earn much, only 190 million US dollars."
Zuke nodded: "It's really not much in comparison."
No one else will hear these words, otherwise it will be sour.
Just catching Enron's sheep, the profit in half a year is as high as 190 million US dollars, which is already a considerable achievement, surpassing the annual profit of many investment banks.
But... $190 million is really not much for Gale Capital.
Andy said: "If in these few months, we have made a big splash, the profit will be at least more than 400 million US dollars."
"Hehe~"
Zucker said disdainfully: "What is $400 million? We can make big profits if we want to, and then we can make 5, 6, 7, 400 million dollars, or even more!"
In order to deploy the big fat sheep Enron, Zhu Ke invested a lot of energy and financial resources before and after.
The mere $400 million really can't satisfy Zucker's appetite.
Andy laughed after hearing this.
Dafeng Capital has made so many preparations this time, of course, it will make a lot of money.
"" The second is sent, there are votes to vote, dear~
