Chapter 815 Liar From Wall Street (1)

Moreover, the competitors of this contract are far more than companies such as Apple and Amazon. It is reported that the American media giant NBC Universal has reached a new cooperation agreement with the NFL. Mobile device broadcasting rights, this move will also help NBC Universal realize the all-media platform to broadcast Sunday night NFL games. With Sunday night games and Thursday night games, to a certain extent, NBC can already achieve the same The monopoly on live NFL games is over.

In fact, as early as 2008, NBC Universal has won the rights to broadcast Sunday prime-time events on desktop computers, tablet devices and related TV channels.

After acquiring the right to broadcast on mobile devices this time, NBC Sports will broadcast the event on an all-media platform for the first time. This is the first time in the history of NFL broadcast. It must be said that NBC is indeed far ahead of its peers in the development of live sports. .

It was the first time to open up the entire platform, and the opponent was naturally unwilling to only hold the Sunday night game as a bargaining chip, and it was expected to attack and win the Thursday night game.

Therefore, according to this estimate, with Amazon, Apple, Twitter, Google Youtube, and NBC participating in the competition, it is foreseeable that this water-testing contract for the digital copyright of the Thursday Night Game will definitely win. A high price was enough to make Roger Goodell smile.

Yang Cheng thought for a long time, calculated the pros and cons, and finally decided to take a gamble. The NFL has a huge audience in North America, and with the coverage of the Toutiao app on the mobile terminal, the ratings data will definitely not be ugly. Over the course of the season, it will attract more than 1,000 viewers. Ten thousand or even 20 million viewers should not be a big problem, it means that a large amount of advertising revenue will be recorded, and if it is not enough, he can still charge. Even if each person consumes 2 US dollars each time, there will be 20 million US dollars in revenue.

Moreover, after testing the waters for a season, CW TV station can also get acquainted with and make great progress in the broadcasting technology in advance, and prepare for the future competition for NFL TV copyright, which is a potential benefit.

So, he said to Ruiz, "You tell Roger Goodell that the party who finally takes the test water contract will automatically get the priority to renew the next official contract. If he agrees, the headline app will invest in the NFL. $10 million in advertising."

Ruiz immediately understood that the $10 million advertising fee for a priority was not a low bargaining chip. I believe that Roger Goodell would never reject Yang Cheng's "good intentions".

"I understand how to talk about the boss~"

After hanging up the phone, the first game review of the Carolina Panthers happened to be playing on TV. However, a scene that made Yang Cheng frown happened. The ligament was lifted off the field directly, and the commentary also introduced the inspection situation after the game in a timely manner. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the season, the team will face the situation of the chief receiver being reimbursed for the season, which also makes the team blind A shade.

Fortunately, the star of the team, the quarterback Cam Newton lived up to the name of Superman, led the team forward again and again with his superb physical talent, and successfully won the first victory of the season, which finally made Yang Cheng feel better. Otherwise, if the newly bought team loses in the first game, everyone will feel awkward.

The next broadcast was nothing to watch, so I simply turned off the TV, went downstairs to play in the swimming pool for a while, and was about to go to the sun room to bask in the sun for a while, but David Ellison, who had just left for a long time, suddenly He came to the door and disturbed his sleepiness.

"There's a guy from Wall Street throwing a party at the Peninsula,

This guy brazenly said that he designed a new algorithm model with a return rate of 12%. Shall we take a look? "David Ellison looked at Yang Cheng eagerly, expecting him to nod.

It's a pity that Yang Cheng gave a blank expression, "How much? 12%? Is he dreaming? Dario is busy with a yearly income of nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars, and the total return rate is only 5%. From which rock? Idiots who come out dare to give a 12% return rate without shame? Last year, the weighted return rate of the top 20 hedge funds on Wall Street was only 4%, and the return rate of the S&P 500 Index including dividends in the same period was barely close to 10%. "

David Ellison smiled heartlessly, "You don't care so much, do liars have to see it with their own eyes to know, if there is a 12% return rate, will you vote or not? Anyway, I will definitely try Test the waters."

Yang Cheng laughed and shook his head, "Didn't you just invest a sum of money in Bill Ackman? Now you still have money to invest in other hedge funds?"

David Ellison curled his lips, "Don't mention it, Bill's life is difficult. I talked to him for a few days, but in the end it didn't matter."

Yang Cheng was stunned, no wonder, he thought that David's father had given him the inheritance in advance, otherwise how could he get so much money.

"I won't go, look at this thing on my feet, I don't want to be treated as a criminal~" Yang Cheng resolutely refused, pulling up her trouser legs and shaking her ankles, the black electronic shackles were particularly conspicuous.

David Ellison didn't take it seriously, "Don't worry, everyone is not superficial. Who would think you are a criminal? Besides, if you put on a suit, the trouser legs will cover this thing."

Yang Cheng continued to shake his head, "I'm not going there either. I'm obviously a liar. It's okay to fool you local tyrants with plenty of spare money. I won't follow suit. I just bought an NFL team, and my cash flow is almost exhausted."

"It's okay if you just go with me to play? No one forced you to invest money, am I afraid of being cheated? You help me check." David Ellison insisted on pulling Yang Cheng go together.

But Yang Cheng's reasons were also very good. Of course, the most important thing he didn't say was that he had some psychological shadows on the party, for fear of causing any trouble and being thrown into the police.

But since he just cheated on this guy with a sports car, he still has to give face. After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, I'm just going to eat and drink. I didn't get any money."

"Deal, I'll withdraw first. I'll see you at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel at 7:00 p.m., remember to bring your girlfriend." Afraid that Yang Cheng would regret it, he ran away after speaking.

Yang Cheng was speechless. Judging from the symptoms of this terminal illness, it can be concluded that this guy lacks love, all kinds of love!

As for the liar from Wall Street, that's right, Yang Cheng basically concluded that that guy was another believer in the Ponzi scheme. Greed is to blame.

But in history, Wall Street is also a well-known distribution center for scammers. These scammers are not satisfied with cheating ordinary people with small money, so they turn their targets to the group of colleagues who hold huge sums of money. It also verified the saying - big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimps, which is still applicable in the profession of liars.

As for the Ponzi scheme, imagine it from another angle, if there is no financial crisis and if the funds continue to flow, who would think it is a scam? I'm afraid they will scramble to give each other the title of the greatest financier in history.

Anyway, to be serious, the whole of Wall Street is a bunch of liars, and Yang Cheng is no exception. Even conspiracy theory obsessives say that the whole of Wall Street is a scam, which is not wrong.

But apart from other things, those who can deceive Wall Street can be regarded as reaching the peak of liars, but usually they don’t have a good end, just like the “greatest” liar in history——Madoff, who stayed A good story-it is said that after he was in prison, he watched TV with everyone one day, and it happened that his sealed property was being auctioned. When he saw a watch sold for only $900, Madoff jumped up and pointed at the watch. The TV yelled, "These liars! They told me that this watch is worth 200,000!"

Liars are not omnipotent. As the saying goes, a mountain is as high as a mountain, and liars are also deceived by liars.

It was also because of Madoff that Yang Cheng instinctively thought that the person from Wall Street who held the party tonight was also a liar, and even the rate of return offered by the other party was similar to Madoff's. You must know that Madoff's followers are not so good. No less than the fans of the old stock gods.

In fact, this "great" liar, Madoff, who promoted the Ponzi scheme, was once a very successful broker, and later he went all the way to the high position of non-executive chairman of Nasdaq, and whether it is investing in himself When he was in charge of NASDAQ, his performance was remarkable. Even if he hadn't been unlucky enough to catch up with the once-in-a-decade financial crisis, he could have won as a business tycoon. Respected by the world.

It's a pity that his deception is only so far away from perfection.

Back then, roughly when Madoff took over as the chairman of Nasdaq, he planned this shocking scam with great pains. Using his extensive contacts and good image, Madoff sold his financial products to customers.

He promised to provide a return of 1% to 2% per month and 12% to 13% per year. Is it a familiar figure?

This number sounds a bit high at first glance, but it does not give people a sense of distance that is difficult to achieve. At the same time, it is a good way to arouse the greedy little devil in people's hearts, and his crochet investment portfolio is also very stable, without any risky investment. Among them, it is not easy to be suspicious, and coupled with his glittering name and resume, it is difficult for ordinary people, even the well-informed predators on Wall Street, to refuse such a temptation. Avoid greed.

Soon, some rich people in various circles around him handed over their wealth to him. Later, even many large financial institutions "boarded the boat of thieves", such as Santander Bank, Austrian Bank, UBS, HSBC, Nomura Securities, etc. have all helped him recruit clients. Of course, this has also become a foreshadowing for them to become victims in the future and planted for themselves.
