Chapter 1377 Tight Strings

"Peter's kind of person is like a gambler who won't get off the table once he's on the table. Even if he wins this hand, he will only be more determined if he plays Stud, and he won't listen to anyone's words..."

On another Friday in New York, Al Gore took a quick look at Peter's speech with two fingers and said with a contemptuous smile: "He must end up losing everything and being thrown on the streets of Las Vegas. Insane destruction and self-destruction."

"Maybe your judgment is right, Mr. Vice President, I also feel that I don't know him anymore, and it seems to be a different person from before."

Song Ya, who was standing in front of his desk, said, "In short, my mission has been completed, bring the letter here."

In fact, he had never had a few face-to-face conversations with Gore alone. He had never been involved in such a major political event in his memory. This was the first time. Yes, "Mount Tai collapses in front of you without changing color", very demeanor of an excellent politician.

If Peter's speech is published, Gore's election will inevitably be hit again, and at the end of the speech Peter mentioned very bluntly that he will stand on the stage of the public party debate in June, which will be the first time for Peter He publicly stated that he would insist on holding the election until June, and that he would not leave a way out.

If Peter’s request is not met, dragging it to the live broadcast debate will cause a lot of trouble for Gore’s image and the subsequent final showdown with Elephant Party candidate George Jr. This speech only mentions the Internet stock market crash , and in Motorola's disastrous Iridium project, as the governor of Illinois, where Motorola's headquarters is located, and the deputy commander who took the credit, the two also knew each other well. What kind of bomb to blitz him.

"His ultimatum doesn't seem to give me a time limit?"

Gore turned the speech over so that the back of the paper was clean.

"I don't know, he asked me to tell you that I look forward to meeting you alone." Song Ya replied.

"APLUS, your connivance fueled his ambition." Gore said again.

This is accusing himself, "I didn't expect Peter to... In short, he may have a motive for becoming what he is now."

Song Ya fought back, implying that ten thousand is ten thousand, isn't it because you abandoned him halfway and got involved with little Daly? Originally, you and him had a very good relationship with each other during the honeymoon period. Don’t blame Peter for being crazy. Even if you choose Daly from the beginning, Peter may not suddenly participate in the general election. The idea of ​​spoiling the game.

"Hmm...hehe."

Gore nodded his head and laughed noncommittally twice,

"Okay, that's it." Then he got up.

"Thank you for taking your precious time." Song Ya stretched out her hand knowingly.

"Sure, by the way, APLUS, the media seems to be getting more and more interested in talking about your recent losses, do you need me to say hello?" Gore asked.

"Oh that... It's really a bit disturbing. My shrinking money in the stock market is heading towards 4 billion at a fast pace. It's a headache. I don't have as strong a foundation as Mr. Richest Man and the others."

Song Ya smiled wryly and opened the door, "But I don't need to bother you, I plan to find an opportunity to talk about this matter publicly in a few days, and simply admit it honestly, so as to save the media from continuing to spread rumors."

"oh?"

Gore was a little surprised, "Is this okay? Will it cause panic among investors in your company?"

"There is always a public relations solution... Farewell, Mr. Vice President."

Song Ya nodded and left.

"Four billion..."

Looking at the closed door, Gore sighed to himself, "This kid." Then he laughed. When he talked about the loss of 4 billion net worth just now, he still seemed to have no psychological fluctuations, and he was really calm... …

He put down Peter's speech, and looked down to study the empty white envelope.

Finally, the task was completed, and the world's top 100 richest people flew around to deliver letters for politicians. After going out, Song Ya secretly swore that this would be her last time. Originally, this kind of work should be done by Harvey Weinstein or the New Yorker. Only well-known gamers and brokers in the fashion industry will do it...

Thinking of this, he habitually twitched the corners of his lips, but soon stretched them out again, because he found Gore's campaign manager, brother Daly Jr., half of his body exposed at the end of the corridor, observing him silently.

According to Peter's request, no one else could be present this time except himself and Gore, so he made the request before he came, and it seems that Gore executed well.

Maybe he had some doubts about being excluded, but the younger brother Daly looked at him full of scrutiny and doubt.

Song Ya put her hands in her trouser pockets, smiled and nodded as a greeting, and then passed each other.

"Many technology heroes in Silicon Valley have transformed from idealists to greedy capitalists. This stock market crash has exposed the money-making tricks they play. Many jobs are rough. I feel that it is not a good thing to take this opportunity to eliminate some. .Of course I don't mean you..."

Song Ya left Gore's place and went to meet Underwood again. In August, the Donkey Party will hold a full rice meeting in New York, and the frequency of politicians running here has become higher.

Underwood's mood is getting better and better recently, because the prospect of re-election of the Donkey Party in the House of Representatives is very bad. The leader of the House of Representatives Majority Leader Dick Giffat was scolded by the Donkey Party. It was a blessing in disguise when he resigned from the center of power, and was greatly missed by his colleagues. After Gore won the election, he won the ministerial position of an important department with ease.

If the Donkey Party really becomes the minority party in the House of Representatives next year, he still has another option, which is to go back and continue to serve as the party whip. Status rose from third to second.

Relying on the close relationship between the two parties, Underwood also made his own jokes.

"I've always followed the law."

Song Ya also relaxed a lot in front of him, and opened the wine cabinet without seeing anyone else, picked a bottle of good wine and poured it by herself.

There is nothing wrong with what he said. Whether it is 3DFX or Littman listed companies, they are basically law-abiding. At most, they engage in financial reporting, digital games and other tricks within the scope of the law. Telling stories to make money is not illegal. One is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell.

At least it is much more honest than some of its peers who have been hit by the unfortunate words of Jim Clark, such as clicks, traffic falsification, illegal cash out, and market value manipulation.

There is nothing wrong with Underwood's jokes. If it weren't for the stock market crash, the various problems of these companies would not have been exposed at all.

Therefore, squeezing the bubble is indeed good for the overall health of the industry.

Of course, Song Ya, the player in the game, did not act so easily in front of Gore, and his enemies would not sit idle and do nothing when faced with opportunities.

"Watch this, APLUS." Doug, Underwood's chief of staff and campaign manager, turned on the TV.

‘We are all fans of APLUS, we will buy whichever stock he goes to the stock exchange for, and now… woo woo woo, we lost all our money, we think we have been scammed by idols…’

Barry Diller's global television network did not know where to find a few black aunts, showing the form with the statement printed in front of the camera, crying and crying.

"They won't be jumping for long..."

This kind of smearing method Song Ya has long since calmed down. After preparing for so long, Vivendi Universal is going to look good in June, and now he is asking Fu Sandai and Barry Diller to lower their vigilance, and he can bear anything. If you are so stimulated, go to the lane to startle the snake.

"Also." Doug pressed the remote to fast forward, as if he had cut the videotape in advance.

'Icahn Capital mentioned a series of Internet concept stocks in its latest short-selling report yesterday, including the important media and Internet company Litman Media under APLUS. According to the calculation of the report, Litman Media still holds After the spin-off, the American music website, OpenDiary website, and CrimeReads website have a large number of stakes, and the three Internet concept stocks have not fully reflected the current value of Litman Media after the sharp drop... Today Litman Media’s stock price fell sharply in response . '

From a financial news broadcast.

"Carl Icahn and I fought once in 3DFX, and again for the management rights of Marvel. He lost, and he lost embarrassingly."

Song Ya explained to Underwood and Doug: "This time he was just for revenge. In fact, he didn't have a large-scale action. He has learned to behave and is very careful."

"But the market sentiment was mobilized by him, right?" Doug asked.

"Um……"

Song Ya had to admit it, and then asked with a smile: "What? Are you planning to invest in the stock market too? Study this."

"I'm worried about you."

Underwood gave Doug a color, and the loyal dog got up and went out, and it was time to guard it outside.

"About that June incident..."

Underwood also went to Song Ya's side with a wine glass, "Because our ally Tiger Fund has lost the last bit of its former glory in this stock market crash, and has also been redeemed by the last bit of diehard investors. ... Its owner, Julian Robertson, told me that if he hadn't tried to hold on until June in Europe, he would have chosen to close the shop by now."

"His choice is very wise." Song Ya said.

"Choose this kind of ally..."

Perhaps because Bronfman Jr.'s Seagram Global Department has recently made a very high-profile triumphant mockery of the Internet industry, Underwood's confidence has wavered a bit, "Even if Tiger Fund is not mentioned, our trump card is the financial fraud of the Def Jam record." The report is now likely to be submerged in the thunderous news of a large number of Internet companies. To be honest, their irrigation ratio is far lower than that of some Internet companies, and now the market sentiment has begun to favor traditional industry giants such as Universal again..."

It seems that Underwood has studied it. To put it bluntly, after the stock market crash, Song Ya found that there was a problem with what she thought was a perfect revenge plan. Impossible to be so conspicuous anymore.

Even in proportion, the Def Jam record is contrasted like a white lotus in a cesspit by some of its internet peers...

"Don't worry, the documents in my hand are very reliable. In short, it can prove that Universal is not worth that much money. Vivendi will lose money."

The document hadn't been shown to Underwood and other allies before, and Song Ya strengthened his confidence, "This is the last straw for Tiger Fund's Julian Robertson, and he will work very hard at that time..."

"APLUS made a move to protect the market at the end of last Friday, maybe it will be the same this Friday?"

In the same city, the Gold Coast of Long Island, Estefan and his Latin gang friends gathered at Shakira's home to study stocks again. Following the bearishness of Icahn Capital yesterday, they have invested heavily in the Littman Media Department last year. Shares fell sharply again today.

Estefan didn't let go of any possibility of miracles, he said with great expectations: "You saw the beautiful upward curve at the end of last week, didn't you? APLUS doesn't make any more moves... It's okay to say anything else, CrimeReads website The stock price has almost fallen below $1, and if it stays below $1 for a long time, there is a risk of delisting, he won’t just sit back and watch?”

"As far as the CrimeReads website is concerned, it won't cost APLUS much money for a quick pull in the late trading. It should not have many tradable shares outside, and the short side will never dare to make a move."

They are already very knowledgeable about speculation, and one of Estefan’s friends has a set of technical terms, “Do you want to take a gamble? If we cover another position, the cost per share can be reduced a lot…”

"We don't even know if that APLUS guy is bankrupt now!" Some friends also cursed angrily.

"Everyone judge for themselves."

After all, it’s the money each earned with great difficulty. Estefan himself doesn’t want to make up for it. He knows that based on his friendship with APLUS, he probably understands but doesn’t understand each other’s level. However, based on previous experience, APLUS can always do it. The character of unexpected and eye-popping moves should not be so 'punctual' to continue to protect the market on the second Friday.

Friends who were tempted slipped out of the room one after another to call their respective stockbrokers. After a few words of warning, Estefan was reluctant to persuade him. After all, it was all his own money. Who can say for sure about the current New York stock market? Woolen cloth?

"you are back!"

Song Ya really didn't have this plan, and now every penny of living money has to be carefully calculated and spent. After a series of events, his emotions were like a taut string, and he returned home to Tribeca with a heavy heart.

As soon as he entered the door, Amy threw herself into her arms like a swallow falling into a forest, wrapping her hands around his neck.

"Um."

Wenrou Township is the Hero's Tomb, and his exhaustion and fighting spirit subsided temporarily with Amy's greeting, "Have you packed your things? Let's go back to Chicago tomorrow morning."

"Not yet!" Amy gave him a kiss, and hurried to pack her luggage.

"Oh, by the way, last time I went to Shakira's and asked her to help find oil paintings. I heard that she has a new relationship. Her boyfriend is the son of the Argentine commander. face. She may very well become the next Mrs. Peron..."

Amy chattered briskly as she busied herself.

"oh?"

The smile on Song Ya's face faded away after she just sat down, and after a few seconds she said dully and melancholy: "That's pretty good...but Mrs. Peron seems to have passed away when she was in her thirties? In short, your metaphor is very wrong. OK."

"Really? But it seems like a lot of her Latin friends are using that analogy. It shouldn't be a problem in their culture, right?"

"Um……"

At this time, the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and Song Ya just didn't want to continue the conversation.

"Littman just tipped me off..."

Sloan said on the other end of the phone: "He said that people from Viacom came to him and beat around the bush to test the possibility of acquiring two TV stations, ACE..."
