Chapter 9 Persuasion (2)

I have to say that Yang Cheng's idea is good, at least in Yang Sen's opinion, but it is a little immature, but he has no doubt that the person sitting opposite is no longer his son, just think that Yang Cheng is still young and his ideas are not enough. Mature and inadequate.

Can you really protect yourself by being famous? Not always, being famous also means exposing yourself to the camera, but it is easier for the outside world to catch the loopholes, because it is difficult for people not to make mistakes in their lives, no matter how big or small, as long as they make mistakes, they will be caught by the enemy. , and deliver a fatal blow.

Looking at Yang Cheng and waved his hand with satisfaction, "Okay, I probably know what you think, about the matter of taking a stake in Delta Air Lines, I support it, control a physical enterprise in my hand, and expand its influence at the grassroots level. Whichever direction you look at, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, so what do you want me to do?"

Yang Cheng's thoughts were completely led by Yang Sen, and he was overjoyed, leaning forward and replied, "I think you have secretly contacted the minority shareholders of Delta Air Lines, acquired their stocks, plus jp Morgan or Berkshire. Any of the holdings in the hands of one of them, so that in the name of Yuanshan, about 7% of the shares, I will start from the secondary market, and I will hold about 13% of the total shares."

Listening to Yang Cheng's remarks, Yang Sen took out his mobile phone, searched for the stock price of Delta Air Lines, and popped up a series of numbers, "The current stock price is around $35, and the total share capital is about 710 million shares. If we want to win 13%, we will also It is about 92 million shares, which requires 3.2 billion US dollars. Considering the premium, we have to prepare at least 3.5-4 billion in cash.

Yuanshan needs to invest more than 2 billion. . . Um. . . No problem, but where did you get the billions? "

Giving a thumbs up for Yang Sen's mental arithmetic ability, he didn't expect to be slapped in the face in the next second. Yang Sen raised his hand and turned the screen towards Yang Cheng, "Did you know that the phone has a calculator function?"

Yang Cheng was speechless, "You really can't help boasting, you don't have to worry about the funds, I have a solution."

"What way? You won't pay attention to your facade, will you?"

"How could it be? I'm still pointing at that shop to eat the old money, don't worry, you can just take a look."

The mother urged them to go down to eat through the pager. The father and son discussed the action plan while walking. Yang Cheng also reported to Yang Sen the target of the follow-up acquisition.

The family of three ate a long-lost harmonious and warm dinner, and watched a movie in the audio-visual room at home. Family time is always short. Tomorrow, the parents have to go to work, so they went back to the bedroom early to rest.

On the first day after Yang Cheng's rebirth, his heart went on a roller coaster several times. His body was not tired, but his spirit was very tired. He fell into a deep sleep within a few seconds of lying on the bed. In his sleep, he even dreamed that he was on the cover of a financial magazine. , countless beauties fell for him. . .

————————————

I was speechless all night, and slept until the next day until the phone rang as if urging my life, and then reluctantly crawled out of the bed.

"Jason, don't tell me you're still in bed, damn, do you know that I haven't slept all night because of your plan?" Allen's drake voice suddenly recalled in the quiet bedroom, making Yang Cheng shudder.

"Fuck, tell me something, you scared me." Yang Cheng took the phone all the way, and roared angrily.

"Haha, deserve it, all right, let's talk business, short oil, I agree." Allen's voice was full of 'Are you surprised? Are you surprised? ' means.

"Oh, then what?" Yang Cheng's voice was calm.

Alan's voice on the other end of the phone sharpened, "Then? Then what and then? Shouldn't you be happy with your best brother going crazy with you?"

Yang Cheng didn't change his face, imitating an excited voice on his mouth, and said perfunctorily, "Wow, happy, I'm so happy, okay? You agreed as long as I expected,

What's there to be excited about, act quickly, remember, our target is $55, and the oil price has not fallen below this line, absolutely do not close the position. "

"By the way, have those stocks been cashed out? How much capital do we have in total." Yang Cheng continued to ask.

Allen wouldn't be disappointed either. He was just playing with Yang Cheng. They've known each other for 7 or 8 years. Who doesn't know who?

"Well, the most important thing on Wall Street is rich people, rich investment banks, and rich funds. We are all high-quality stocks, and they have no chance of rejecting them. Cashing out plus the cash in our hands is probably $500 million, by the way, that's not counting Amazon's stock, don't you let it go."

Yang Cheng changed his posture, regardless of whether he could see it or not, he nodded to himself, "Yes, I am very optimistic about the trend of Amazon, and I have to continue to increase my holdings if I have spare money in the future."

"Understood, let's talk about this, then do we need to borrow leverage?"

Yang Cheng pondered for a moment, and was a little undecided. After all, he couldn't remember the specific details and time of the oil price. He only knew that the price would plummet and the price would be nearly halved. Using leverage would naturally maximize profits, but the risk of liquidation would greatly increase. , "What do you think? Ellen."

"I tend to use it. According to your analysis yesterday, I have called up the price changes of crude oil in the past 10 years, as well as the current fuel consumption levels and reserves of various countries. Yes, but there is no way to judge when it will fall. It is better that we use 5 times low leverage, so that even losses are within our acceptable range.” Allen’s analysis suggested.

"Okay, I agree, hurry up and enter the layout. I have a hunch that the oil price crash is just around the corner, I'm afraid it will be in the next month or two." Yang Cheng mysteriously acted as a prophet.

At this time, Allen only listened to Yang Cheng's words as a joke, and laughed at him for bragging.

"Haha, I hope so, but aren't you going to come and have a look?" Allen asked after laughing.

Yang Cheng stood beside the bed, using the remote control to control the heavy curtains to separate to the sides. The sky outside the window was a little gloomy, with huge cumulonimbus clouds pressing overhead, which was obviously a sign of rain.

"No, let me rest assured, I still have a lot of things to do." Yang Cheng stretched his waist and rejected Allen's proposal.

It's not that he doesn't want to go, it's that his half-assed level, even if he has the experience of the original Yang Cheng, he is afraid of showing his faults, so he still doesn't show his eyes. Besides, compared to Yang Cheng, Alan is a professional trader. It doesn't matter if he has him or not. .

"Bastard, you will die on a woman sooner or later." Allen clearly misunderstood that Yang Cheng was going to pick up a girl.

Yang Cheng was too lazy to explain, and casually countered, "That's better than eating a hamburger!"

After fighting each other for a few words, they hung up the phone. Yang Cheng checked the time, went to the bathroom unhurriedly, and took a leisurely soak in the spa bath for more than half an hour. An Audi key to go out.

Before going to bed last night, I received a text message from the owner of the tenant of his store, wanting to talk about the renewal of the lease, and made an appointment for lunch today.

It is estimated that after about 20 minutes, an olive green Audi S8 stopped at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 46th Street. This is not only a place where tourists gather, but also a shopping center that Manhattan people love. There are all kinds of goods such as clothing and food here. .

Yang Cheng's store is located at the corner of the crossroads, and there is a lot of traffic. If you hang up the sign here, you don't have to worry about no one entering the door. Therefore, the rent of his store is always 10% more expensive than other stores, but for Rijindoujin's For bosses, 10% of the cost can always be earned back from the customer.

Of course, there are exceptions. The owner of the audio-visual store who is quite artistic and likes retro style can't support it. If he wants to discuss with Yang Cheng to reduce the rent, at least it is inconvenient to maintain the status quo.

The boss's name is Johnny Utah, a lucky guy, why do you say that?

He used to be the winner of the American Powerball lottery. About 5 years ago, he won a total prize of more than 200 million US dollars. At that time, it was a sensation in the United States. From an ordinary worker to a billionaire, he became a typical representative of the American dream. .

Johnny is also considered a business savvy. After receiving the bonus, he immediately came to Fifth Avenue to look for a storefront, ready to fulfill his childhood dream of opening a video store, specializing in vinyl records, not only hired famous street graffiti The master designed the interior of the store for him, and also knew how to play the celebrity effect. The store opened by the Powerball lottery winner made those old beauties who dreamed of the American dream every day want to feel happy and often come to his store for consumption. That's how the signboard of the video store started.

At that time, Yang Cheng, who had just lost Lin Qian, was unhappy, and he was unhappy when he saw him. When Johnny found him, he looked like I was a nouveau riche and I didn't need money. Yang Cheng was so angry that he slapped him fiercely. Well, the rent is not a fixed contract, but a model that increases by 5% every year. One sign is five years, and the starting rent is 25 million US dollars a year.

In the beginning, Johnny really made some money, but in the past two years, his popularity has declined, people also advocate fast consumption, fewer and fewer people like vinyl music, and young people are more willing to download music to IPOD or On the smartphone, he can listen to it at any time. Although he has the support of old customers, but with the same income, the rental cost has increased year by year. Naturally, the compression is in his interests.

"Hey, Johnny, are you alright?" Yang Cheng stepped into the video store. At this time, the number of people in the store was not too much. There were only more than 10 people in twos and threes. Yang Cheng, who knew what was going on, looked at the person sitting behind the cashier counter. Strong man.

Johnny is from Minnesota. The cold climate can always exercise people's physique. Johnny's burly and sturdy figure like a brown bear can always bring people the most exciting visual impact.

"Look, who is this, jason, I haven't seen you for a long time and you've become handsome again." Johnny is over 50 this year, but his voice is loud and his steps are steady. He walks out of the cashier, dressed in a punk jacket and denim dress. is trendy.

Yang Cheng stepped forward, raised his hand and punched Johnny, looked up at Johnny's bald head, which was as bright as a light bulb, and joked, "Johnny, what about your turban that never leaves you?" Johnny used to use a turban to cover his bald head Wrapped up, coupled with his fierce face, like a pirate, many timid female customers went down.

"I was too hot, so I picked it up." Johnny pouted and explained vaguely.
