Chapter 1394

"The French method is that a single day's rise of a stock exceeds 21.25% of the previous day's closing price, and the trading will automatically stop when the stock falls by 18.75%. If the fluctuation exceeds 10% of the previous day's closing price, it will Trading was suspended for fifteen minutes."

On June 19th, Song Ya and his team arrived in Barcelona, ​​Spain, in the same time zone as Paris. Of course, they were running the promotion of Blade Runner 2 in name. After checking into the hotel, he had the last phone call with Tiger Fund boss Julian Robertson on the eve of the war.

"In the first stage after Vivendi Universal's resumption of the market, the most worrying thing is that other giants will have the idea of ​​washing us out first. Of course, that is unlikely. Vivendi and Seagram Universal, After the resumption of the market, it will open at 89 euros per share, so the market value is exactly 89 billion euros... It is too risky to pull such a large company. In the context of the global stock market crash, Vivendi itself has gone from The high point in April has fallen a lot, and it is in a downward channel, and the pressure on the long side is even greater. Neither Vivendi nor the Bronfman family are likely to come up and end in person. Their most likely time to sell is probably When the stock price of Vivendi Universal plummeted to a certain point, we made up our minds to protect the market...that was also our most dangerous moment."

Julian Robertson was walking around with his mobile phone in Tiger Fund's Wall Street office, and his traders were all in place in the trading room outside.

"Recently, the US stock market has driven the global stock market to recover..." Song Ya's tone on the other end of the phone was calm, but Julian Robertson could still vaguely feel a lack of confidence.

"Well, this is indeed a place that is not very beneficial to us. It is too late for you to regret it now." Julian Robertson deliberately stimulated the other party. He felt that the black pharaoh who was sitting on billions of dollars at a young age should not be able to bear it.

"It's impossible... In short, keep in touch, everything is as we agreed before." The mood on the other end of the phone did not fluctuate, and Song Ya then emphasized: "Discipline... It is very important to enforce discipline well."

"Don't worry, there can't be any mistakes on my side."

According to the prior agreement, Tiger Fund and Song Ya used a very complex algorithm model to determine the profit based on the bubble ratio of Def Jam records combined with the estimated value of other subsidiaries of Universal Music and the estimated value of Vivendi’s fundamentals. The stock price leaving the market: 73 euros, which is about exactly one-day limit of Vivendi Universal, which is an 18.5% drop.

It’s not that we won’t be shorting anymore, but that we will operate under the premise of lowering leverage and preserving principal, which is safer.

Technical details such as specific leverage ratios, option hedging, and securities lending combinations will be handled by a more professional side, and various plans have already been agreed upon. Take out the SIM card used for the first time from the back of the battery, break it into half, and throw it into the trash can.

Song Ya in Barcelona did the same,

It's getting closer to France. Vivendi is a top company included in the blue chip index by the Paris Exchange. You can't be too careful. "Charlie, do you need a night's rest first?"

Song Ya just chatted with Julian Robertson in front of Director Charlie Skinner. This white-haired old man was also the first person to know about this operation unplanned. The media position under his banner is too important. He and Brown The Furman family is also Jewish, and they are worried about not being under the nose at critical moments and controlling them at close range.

"Need not……"

Previously, the station was ordered to bad-mouth Universal, and Skinner executed it very well, but he only thought it was the big boss who took the opportunity to retaliate against Litman Media’s multi-million dollar loss due to Universal’s American music website case. I really didn’t expect it If it is as rumored, the big boss has indeed joined forces with Tiger Fund early on to create a series of incidents such as the short-selling report.

From the few words I heard just now, I have been working as a media person for so many years without being able to understand the real intention of the big boss to deceive me to come to Spain. Skinner straightened his body and smiled: "I'm not too old."

"Um."

At this time, the big boss in Skinner's eyes looked quite tired, his brows were always slightly frowned, and he was playing with his mobile phone absent-mindedly. After a soft promise, he said: "Your mobile phone may need to be kept by Mike, the desk If there is something to look for... he or my other bodyguards will pass it on to you. Is that okay?"

"Of course, of course..."

Skinner obediently took out his mobile phone and handed it to the other party's bodyguard.

"Please sit down..." Song Yachao motioned to the sofa, "Your guest room is next door."

"OK."

The big boss ignored him, and Skinner sat down to observe the environment silently. Apart from the big boss himself, only his bodyguards occasionally came in and out of the presidential suite. The actress Halle Berry in pajamas came out of the bedroom from time to time without paying attention. Wander around a couple of times, and chat with him a few very homely gossips.

The TV is playing the French Canal+ Finance Channel, and occasionally some fans and movie fans can float in from the window ‘APLUS! APLUS! ’ and other shouts in Spanish.

"If you don't go out to the hotel, other guests will protest again." Halle Berry said.

"Well."

Song Ya was pushed towards the balcony by her, and then went out to make her debut alone.

The cheering outside grew louder, and Skinner could only see his tall back, waving down, 'Oh! Oh! Oh! ’ The cheers quickly turned into fans singing his song “Cup of Life.”

The single arm raised from the back twisted sharply along with the crotch, played with the fans for a while very dedicatedly, then blew kisses and asked them to be quiet, and quickly comforted the crowd.

Only twenty-five or six years old! Tomorrow, he will play a thrilling futures game with Global Capital on a multinational company with a market value of nearly 100 billion. Looking at this scene, Skinner really admires the maturity and determination of the big boss beyond his age from the bottom of his heart.

"Really, except for Beimi, no matter where I go, the local media will ask me to perform the Cup of Life live, even hum a few words on a talk show."

The big boss obviously enjoyed the interaction with the fans. When he returned to the room, he was in a better mood. He kissed Harley who was hiding behind the balcony and did not show up in public. Then he shook his head and smiled wryly in a hypocritical and proud tone.

The song helped him so much around the world, and Skinner knew that whether it was his personal popularity, Coca-Cola endorsement, or record sales, even the small global distribution network of Metropolis Publishing Company relied heavily on this song. The song set off in the summer of 1998, and it has continued to this day.

"I heard that MJ is about to release a new album, at the end of this year or early next year." Skinner, who was under house arrest in disguise, wanted to talk.

"Well, I've also heard that MJ doesn't seem to be having a good time recently."

Finally, from 1992 to 1993, the series of cases that have been shrouded in the surrounding area have been shaken off. Last year, MJ fell into bankruptcy suspicion again. It seems that his honeymoon period with Sony Columbia Records has passed. He has publicly complained several times this year. His lack of resources made it difficult to give birth to the new specialist, and he and the white nurse who had a flash marriage have also divorced, and he has obtained custody of a pair of children...

In short, unlike before, which was full of malice, the tabloids now take pleasure in others' misfortune when they mention him, trying their best to report on his various embarrassments.

"Will he really go bankrupt?" When this topic was brought up, Song Ya asked, remembering his record copyright in Sony;

"I don't know." Skinner shrugged.

"That seems fake. No matter what, you top journalists are always the first to know." Song Ya teased him.

"It's not that exaggerated." Skinner shook his head and replied with a smile.

The two of them were separated by Ms. Sloan before, and they had very little interaction, so they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they chatted. They will see the real chapter tomorrow, and they are under a lot of pressure and preoccupied. Song Ya soon fell silent again.

Skinner felt that he needed to take this opportunity to show his loyalty. After all, he was in a key position, and his Jewish background was guarded against in the battle between the big boss and the Bronfman family. This was a bad signal for his career.

He himself has nothing to do with the Bronfman family, except that he interviewed Bronfman Sr. a few times when he was the chairman of the Global Jewish Congress, many years ago. Bronfman Jr. borrowed money from Deutsche Bank, and then the old Bronfman reconciled with UBS on behalf of the ethnic group. Knowing some inside information, he has no affection for that family.

"Don't mention the influence, simply mastering the media will indeed make you more informed, which is good for other investments. There is a saying in our community that there is a golden mountain in the slightest". The time to get the news itself means business opportunities, especially when things are changing rapidly securities market."

He took the initiative to say: "Or simply create news and use the media to manipulate market confidence to move in the direction you want. For example, during the Asian financial crisis, Garros used the media to create momentum by using the example of the failure of the Mexican financial crisis rescue to put pressure on the current leader. , so that the U.S. government, the World Bank and other financial institutions did not extend a helping hand to Thailand and other countries in the first place... and those speculators who play high-frequency trading, the purpose of spending a lot of money to upgrade the network speed is to be thousands of times faster than others A second advantage."

"Yes, this stage did a good job."

Song Ya could hear that the old man was asking for credit, and she casually encouraged him. He recognized Taiwan's recent performance, and it was the first time he used the media to justify securities speculation. "Am I not doing enough? Or not mature enough?" Just to ask.

"I'm not qualified to comment."

Skinner replied: "You know Mr. APLUS, I am a relatively traditional media person, and I have been immersed in news all my life."

"Um."

Skinner and McAvoy, the golden partners, are very bottom-line media people, "Don't worry, I will keep my previous promise to you and let you do the news you want to do." Song Ya blinked at him Eyes, "Of course, in other innocuous places, such as this time, I also need your 100% support. In the media, especially in the field of global media, we are far behind Vivendi Universal."

"Yes... After Vivendi CEO Messier completed the acquisition of Seagram Global, he was regarded by the French as a hero and the god of business. Globally, after years of rapid expansion, Vivendi Global under his management In the field of media alone, it can stand side by side with Murdoch's News Corporation, Eisner's Disney ABC, Redstone's Viacom, Steve Case's AOL Time Warner, and Welch's General Electric NBC. "

Skinner felt that he had the responsibility to remind the big boss some words, even if the words were harsh, "We are still too weak, and some of the advantages we have gained in the public opinion in the United States recently are only because Messier has not had time to integrate the media resources of the two countries. , American Television Network was sold to Barry Diller early by Bronfman Jr. and has not yet completed the repurchase, and there is a layer of separation in the middle, which makes the response not fast enough..."

"Yes."

In terms of the strength of Litman Media alone, even Barry Diller's American TV Network can't beat it. Song Ya knows this very well. "Fortunately, the market responded enthusiastically to Tiger Fund's short-selling report."

"Maybe not enough," Skinner said.

"There's nothing perfect in this world, right?" Song Ya knew it wasn't enough, but her and the Avengers' abilities were at most here, and the big stone in her heart couldn't help but raised again.

He looked at the TV screen and was silent again.

"It's a bit late, I should go to rest." Skinner could feel the change in the mood of the big boss, and took the opportunity to leave.

"Good night."

Song Ya maintained his posture, and after hearing the sound of closing the door, he murmured to himself: "There are gold mountains in the slightest..." He chuckled randomly, "For example, different religious backgrounds have different understandings of lending, right?"

"APLUS, there is a new rumor..." At this time, the phone with a new SIM card and new number rang, and it was still from Julian Robertson.

"We made an appointment to contact carefully." Is it free to apply for a local phone card? Really, Song Ya was unhappy and complained about the other party's violation of the agreement.

"APLUS has arrived in Barcelona."

"Shut up!"

In the castle at the same time, Bronfman Jr. felt the pressure more intensely. He watched Song Ya who was interacting with fans on the TV, and stopped his talkative sister, "Be normal to me tomorrow! Don't lose The face of the family!"

"Oh." The two sisters agreed casually.

At this time, the phone rang, and the cousin who was sitting alone at the other end of the long dining table answered the phone, "I'm looking for you." He threw the microphone over countless antique candlesticks.

"Hello..." Little Bronfman caught it and glared at him.

"Barry Diller." It was my "former mentor" Barry Diller calling, "Little Edgar, I heard some rumors...uh..."

"What bad news? Just say it." He could hear the other party's frustration and hesitation, "I'm used to it."

"A Wall Street friend told me that Vivendi probably conducted financial fraud in order to acquire Universal, and they concealed at least ten billion euros in debt..." Barry Diller said.

Little Bronfman petrified instantly, and the microphone fell silently from his hand.
