Chapter 2744 Waiting for You in India

On the 31st floor of the Lehman Building, Fuld wanted to smash the computer again. "These hateful guys!" He said through gritted teeth, pushed his seat hard, and stood in front of the window with his hands on his hips.

Looking out from his office, he could see the office buildings of some colleagues in the distance, and he was very convinced that the people in those buildings must be the ones who concocted the news just now.

"These sons of bitches!" Fuld said harshly.

The swear words he has said in the past ten years combined may not be as many as those in the last ten days.

In fact, things have been going really wrong these days.

Especially, when the same things that I have done to others are used against me by others, when I change from an old hunter to a prey that seems to be able to take a bite of meat, that anger, that anger Depressed, so aggrieved... I can't express my feelings without swearing.

When did I, Lehman, become the target of these guys?

He looked at the familiar buildings. He could imagine that in those buildings, there were people looking at him with a sneer. They were expecting him to fall.

I will definitely let you down, there won't be such a day, hum, we are Rayman with 19 lives!

Fuld immediately called a few confidants and made such arrangements. Other executives didn't say anything, but the person in charge of the public relations department was a little dumbfounded. "Really, is this the way it is?"

"That's it, I request that tonight I see financial news discussing this issue, and tomorrow morning I want to see relevant reports in major newspapers including the Wall Street Journal," Fuld said.

"Also, can we do it without making people aware of the connection between us and this?" he asked.

"able,"

At a time like this, who dares to say no?

"Okay," Fuld told his secretary in front of them, "help me prepare the plane. I will go to DC at noon tomorrow."

His idea was immediately implemented. At this critical moment of life and death, Lehman was unprecedentedly efficient.

…………

In the United Fund office a few blocks away from him, Li Ruiyuan was high-fiving John happily, "Yeah!"

They had just seen the news that Fuld had seen. The news said that Lehman's losses in the second quarter were as high as 3.9 billion US dollars!

This is the biggest loss in a single quarter for this 158-year-old investment bank.

When such news broke out at this time, it goes without saying that it was the short sellers who were taking action, and their goal was successfully achieved. As a result, Lehman's stock price fell by nearly 10%, and is now in single digits.

"Who could have done it?" John asked.

"There are too many people. Even if Goldman Sachs takes action, it would not be surprising," Li Ruiyuan said with a smile.

"Goldman Sachs? No way," John said doubtfully.

The reason why he was suspicious was that in July this year, Lehman sued Goldman Sachs to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, saying that Goldman Sachs spread rumors about Bear Stearns and Lehman, manipulated their stock prices, and while cracking down on them, it also engaged in short selling. Profit from them.

Although the report was finally dropped due to the efforts of Goldman Sachs, it not only alerted Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Cox, but also the New York State Attorney General to intervene.

At a time like this, would Goldman Sachs still do this?

"That's Goldman Sachs," Li Ruiyuan said. "Have you forgotten the email they leaked in March?"

"Oh, yes," John nodded, "That's Goldman Sachs!"

In March, it was the leaked email from Goldman Sachs that wiped out all the efforts of Bear Stearns, which was already on the edge of the cliff, and had to sell itself to JPMorgan in a hurry.

"Besides, isn't this a good thing for us?" Li Ruiyuan smiled.

"Yes, of course." For short sellers like them, of course, the target's stock price is the lowest and the best. If the target goes bankrupt, haha, then you have to have a good drink, because that means that there is almost no cost for short selling this time. It is equivalent to pure profit.

"But, do we still have to wait for a lower price? If Lehman thinks of a way, will their stock price rebound again?" John was a little worried.

"I don't think that's possible," Li Ruiyuan shook his head.

Lehman will definitely die.

While they were talking, the secretary knocked on the door and came in, "Good news, good news!"

Li Ruiyuan glanced at John. Look, it happened again so soon.

…………

What they saw as good news was, of course, bad news for Lehman.

His own media offensive is still in the implementation stage, and Fuld has seen unfavorable news brought by the media. The South Korean Financial Commission has just issued an announcement saying, "... domestic banks should treat the issue of capital injection into Lehman with extreme caution. ”

Named Lehman directly, this is equivalent to putting an end to the South Korean banking group's capital injection into Lehman.

Sure enough, not long after, not only the Korea Development Bank, but also the Korea Kookmin Bank issued relevant announcements, "terminating capital injection negotiations with Lehman."

"Damn Koreans!" Fuld's face turned pale and he slapped the table hard.

…………

In Mumbai, Ambani received the latest news collected by his secretary. The stock price was falling again, and there was no hope of capital injection. There were really fewer and fewer roads for Lehman to take. It seemed that it was really possible to do what Feng Yiping said. ?

"Where's Mr. Feng?"

The secretary immediately handed over another document, "Inspecting the special effects company and then spending a day in Bollywood?"

"Yes," the secretary said, "He seems to be very interested in our film and television entertainment industry. He met with the bosses of several film companies and many stars,"

Ambani smiled.

He understood that in the eyes of the secretary, Feng Yiping's main purpose today was the celebrities. He didn't even bother to explain this view.

This is a matter of level.

He knew very well that for wealthy people of his and Feng Yiping's level, so-called celebrities, haha, what did they mean?

What's more, Feng Yiping's companies are now able to make stars.

However, when the United States is so nervous, Feng Yiping has been staying in India and doing things that have nothing to do with subprime mortgages. This can only be said that he is really confident and well prepared.

Also, it seems that he is very optimistic about the film and television industry? Can we also invest in this area?

The secretary handed over another report at this time, "Regarding Mr. Feng's fundraising situation, this is the information we have just collected,"

Ambani took it and took a look, and soon he was no longer as calm as before, "United Fund?...Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Steve Jobs?"

Such a golden combination?

Then he became even less calm, "The profit is at least over 10 billion US dollars?" He looked at the secretary.

"Yes," the secretary looked at him, "This is information we collected through reliable channels, and more than 10 billion US dollars, this is still the most conservative estimate,"

"It's just because of the relevant contract..."

Ambani raised his hand and said, "I got it."

No wonder Feng Yiping said that after more than a year of preparation, he had raised 40 to 50 billion U.S. dollars. It turned out that this joint fund alone had made profits of at least 10 billion U.S. dollars.

He looked at the other partners of United Fund, and now he was a little more interested in cooperating with Feng Yiping.

…………

By the West Lake, in the new campus of the e-commerce group that has been put into use, Lao Ma is mobilizing a team he has assembled. “A few years ago, we eliminated all our overseas offices because we were not fully prepared. However, globalization , is always our goal,”

“So far, we have initially built an overseas logistics network that can meet the current stage of development, but this is only a small step in our globalization. Our ultimate goal is to have our company take root in major countries. , and thrive,”

"Everyone already knows what India means to us, and why we first chose India as an important breakthrough point. Simply put, as long as we establish a foothold in India and become India's first-class e-commerce company, our company will have nearly half of the world's population. big market,”

"Another good news is that Mr. Feng has created a very good environment for us in India. Soon, we will form a joint venture with two of the most well-known groups in India, and this company will still be controlled by us. ,"

"As an advance team, our first task is to negotiate a specific cooperation agreement and set up an Indian company as soon as possible,"

"Down below, someone wants to talk to you." He gestured, and the big screen on the wall lit up, and then the conference room was filled with a cheerful rhythm.

It was a group of Indians in costumes, led by a few handsome guys and beauties, singing and dancing enthusiastically to the music.

Looking at the photographic equipment beside and in the air, as well as the surrounding scenery, it seems like it's a movie shooting scene?

Feng Yiping walked into the camera and waved to everyone, "Hi everyone," he smiled brightly, "I'm waiting for you in India."
