Chapter 1396 Call Me God

Prime Minister? Prime Minister of France? Will it represent the French government? Little Bronfman's heart was filled with hope, "Send him back to where he should be!" After giving instructions to the bodyguards, he left the cousin who had completed the task of showing family unity at the bell ringing ceremony, and hurried out. Stay close to Messier.

"The trading suspension line and the lower limit line all represent important psychological barriers for investors. I thought it would be nothing fast, even if it fell by 9.8% today..."

Vivendi Universal was forced to suspend trading for 15 minutes on the first morning of its new debut in the capital market, which completely exceeded the expectations of the Avengers. It was 18 points before the market closed on Friday, June 23rd, and it was the most dangerous moment of the long-short game, so Song Ya arranged to arrive in France on the same day to hold the battle in person. Anyway, he must have hidden There is no need to hide your head and show your tail if you can't help it.

And now, Vivendi Universal has fallen by 10%, completing more than half of the goal of the Avengers. This is 10% of the 89 billion euro market value of the multinational giant, which means that in less than one morning, 8.9 billion euro has evaporated.

And because Vivendi is one of the 40 constituent companies of the CAC40 index of the Paris Stock Exchange, its plunge has triggered panic in the market, and companies in the broader market and the same sector have followed suit.

Julian Robertson said: "Perhaps the rumor of Vivendi's tens of billions of false accounts yesterday was not a trap. Other short-selling institutions have already grasped this. They have seized Vivendi's weakness, and we have seized Universal Music's , the two sides met at the right time, or it was precisely because we made a move that they could only be forced to follow in advance without completing sufficient preparations."

"It's good news for us anyway, right?"

Song Ya opened the door a crack and observed a filming team outside the suite. Since he did not expect the short-selling business to progress so quickly, he and Halle accepted an interview scheduled for eleven o'clock by the Spanish local mainstream media, but now Weiwang Dee's had been suspended from trading, and he wasn't in the mood to chat about superhero movies during the fifteen minutes he waited to reopen.

The hostess should be very disappointed by the sudden change of the global superstar. With a microphone in her hand, she gathered together with members of the program team such as photography, lighting, and producers, and chatted anxiously in a low voice while waiting for an explanation.

"Haha! Of course, maybe we should adapt to the situation, raise some expectations, and change the previous plan to be more...reasonable?" Julian Robertson suggested.

more reasonable? Is it more aggressive and greedy?

"First... just follow the original plan, let's see the situation after the suspension is over, and then make a decision?"

Song Ya is very self-aware. When she dabbled in securities speculation for the first time, she still focused on stability. Julian Robertson's Tiger Fund's report card in recent years has been very bad.

Handing over the reins to them on day one is dangerous.

"Change it to the afternoon." After finishing the call, he confessed to Old Mike.

It's normal for American red stars to play big names, and the film crew silently packed up the equipment and left after getting the old Mike's notice.

In a conference room of the Paris Stock Exchange, Messier and others changed their habit of speaking English to accommodate each other when American partners were present, and talked and quarreled fiercely in French throughout the whole process, speaking at a very fast speed.

Of course, Bronfman himself knows French, and the winemaking family has always attached great importance to French education, and the headquarters of the Seagram wine industry is located in Quebec, a French-speaking region in Canada.

"Why did this happen? Why? You didn't say that to the commander-in-chief and Mr. Messer before, how much benefit does Vivendi Group have from winning Seagram Global..."

The French government came to the General Secretariat of the Grand Command, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and several senior bureaucrats from the Prime Minister's Office. They were sent to understand the situation, and the annoying guy from the Ministry of Industry and Trade kept shrugging and questioning Messier. , and waved his hands from time to time to gesture to himself, "A merger case of more than 30 billion yuan, don't you even know how many fake accounts they made?"

"That's just a rumor from a short-selling institution." Bronfman Jr. would not admit it, and immediately interrupted him in French. Tiger Fund's short-selling report is not a court judgment.

"We'll figure it out, we'll figure it out!" the bastard got even more excited.

"Take a look at yourself in the mirror first!"

Messier should have dumped the blame on himself in the communication with the French leader, Bronfman was out of anger, the bubble of Def Jam record... even if you add all the bubbles of the Polygram series, it is not worth 80 900 million euros, today's plunge is obviously more related to Vivendi's rumors of 10 billion euros of fake accounts.

"Calm down, what's the point of discussing this now? We need support, right now! Most of the institutions participating in the short selling today should come from the United States. They bought a company owned by the French, one of the seven largest in Hollywood, and one of the top five in the global record industry. One of the media giants is very angry, they will not be happy that we have a global media group that can compete on an equal footing."

Instead, Messier acted as a peacemaker, "When will the BNP Paribas come..." He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Damn it! Fifteen minutes are up."

"It's almost 80 euros!" His subordinates hurriedly watched the market, and Vivendi Universal was still falling.

The meeting room was suddenly noisy, and almost everyone was talking to themselves and blaming each other. Messier is not without opponents within Vivendi.

Bronfman looked at these disorganized Frenchmen and sighed. He knew that from today onwards, the honeymoon period between the two parties would be over. Looking at this situation, the French government will definitely pursue the issue of Seagram Global’s fake accounts afterwards, and I have to make preparations early, and go back to the United States to try to seize the evidence of Vivendi’s fake accounts as soon as possible to protect myself...

Damn it! The Dutch and Germans behind Philips who sold Polygram to themselves must be laughing now!

In Manhattan, New York, Julian Robertson slammed down his desk heavily. He wiped off the sweat from his brow, walked to the window with his trouser pockets in high spirits, and there were already some reporters waiting downstairs in the office building where the Tiger Fund headquarters was located.

He smiled and was very satisfied. This kind of scene has been rare in recent years, and there are also troubles from negative side.

‘Vivendi Universal continued to fall after the suspension of trading. Before the market closed in the morning, the company’s stock price fluctuated violently at the 80 Euro mark...’

In Barcelona, ​​Song Ya and Harley, Skinner and Old Mike listened to the news while eating lunch. Eighty euros is an important round number psychological threshold. According to Song Zecheng's report just now, Bill Huang judged that the shock just now was not a large sum. Bailout funds came in, but a large number of small and medium-sized institutions and ordinary investors were buying the bottom.

Vivendi still has a large foundation of public trust in France, and its media started to hype it during the lunch break. Countless retail investors are fighting to maintain this multinational giant in France, and the country is proud.

At this point, Song Ya has completely abandoned worrying about gain and loss, and is chewing slowly on chicken breast and broccoli.

"Will it be pulled up in the afternoon? Will the stock price reverse?"

Harry was much more nervous than him, "Do we have enough money to fight against so many retail investors?"

"Our money?" Song Ya blinked and asked with a smile.

"Your your...OK?" Harry rolled his eyes and slapped his arm, "Hmph!"

It was fun for Skinner who was next to him, "APLUS, are you really not worried?" He insinuated. He dare not leak the secret right now, but the old man plans to write this legendary experience he witnessed in his memoirs and publish it before he hangs up. Then there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Close-up experience during the black pharaoh's cross-border raid on a giant with a market value of 100 billion", he even thought of the title of the chapter.

"If you try your best, there is nothing to worry about." Song Ya took a sip of the wine that accompanied the meal.

"What's the matter with you?" The Spanish local film crew was having dinner outside the hotel, waiting for the interview to continue in the afternoon. The photographer noticed that the producer frequently went out to make calls, so he asked.

"Nothing, stockbroker."

Catalonia, where Barcelona is located, borders France. Compared with the main ethnic group in Spain, they are closer to the French. The producer has also invested in Vivendi's stock, but as a media person in the entertainment column, He is not very well-informed, and he still doesn't know that one of the short-selling tycoons behind him is the subject of today's interview.

Ten percent, the savings of many years of hard work shrunk a lot in the morning. Although he is not a full warehouse Vivendi Universal, he is still in pain enough. A stockbroker and an old friend for many years texting.

'What do you think? '

'It's hard to say, I suggest you continue to hold it, and then observe and observe, the fundamentals of Vivendi Universal are still healthy, don't believe those gossip. '

'Def Jam Records and Universal Music Falsified Accounts. ’ The producers knew the music business well.

‘That’s only a few dollars. The market in the morning has already reflected it, even a little overreacted, and it is likely to cover in the afternoon. I should look it up later, I should file a lawsuit...'

'OK, I believe you. '

After eating, the group returned to the hotel. At two o'clock in the afternoon, they rearranged the interview area. The producer turned his mobile phone to vibrate and greeted the global superstar APLUS and Hollywood black pearl Halle Berry with a smile. , "Welcome to Barcelona, ​​Mr. APLUS, Miss Berry."

"Nice to meet you."

Both APLUS and Halle Berry have been well-dressed. APLUS is dressed in a Gucci suit, with a calm demeanor, and patiently shook hands with the entire film crew to say hello. He can speak some simple Spanish, but he is definitely not as proficient as rumored.

"Then we start now?" The two sat down in front of the camera, the host sat opposite, and the producer retreated into the shadow behind the camera.

"Yes." Song Ya adjusted her sitting posture, raised Erlang's legs, and crossed her fingers on her knees.

"About Barcelona..."

"I love it here, I love Spain, I love the sun, the sand, the food, I've been to Ibiza, it's just beautiful... Of course, Catalonia is the best, Ronaldo in this city Played football, right? I have a good relationship with him." Song Ya licked fiercely.

"Tiger Fund is a bit conservative. It's not like Julian Robertson's usual style."

At the same time, in London, Edison Mitchell, the boss of Deutsche Bank's Global Financial Markets Department, was very dissatisfied with the performance of Vivendi Global's stock price in the afternoon.

After the acquisition of Morgan Wealth, Deutsche Bank's securities, derivatives, foreign exchange and commodity businesses in London have been losing money. Edison Mitchell brought fifty Merrill Lynch gangs representing the interests of American financial capital from his old club The member who helped Deutsche Bank turn the tide is currently in the stage of aggressive expansion. He himself is called the 'shark' and 'terminator' by the outside world, and his methods are very bloodthirsty.

"Maybe you've lost your courage?" the subordinate teased.

"Hahaha!"

Edison Mitchell laughed. For a while, Wall Street liked to ridicule Julian Robertson, who lost money in investing, as a talking point, "It seems that there is something like that..."

"Or was his partner holding the reins?" another subordinate said.

"APLUS? Is it the other way around? If that kid is running the game now, he must have emptied the bullet..."

In the ever-changing futures speculative market, it is very important to understand the character of the opponent. For example, for export-oriented companies, their banks like all operations that reduce the exchange losses of large trading companies. Knowing this can profit from it.

"Hahaha!"

Edison Mitchell thinks that he has done enough to understand Julian Robertson and APLUS, he knows Messier and Bronfman Jr., he doesn't like any of these four people, and his subordinates After laughing again, he straightened his face, "Then... let's start smashing the market."

"Smash the plate?"

"Smash the plate!"

Barcelona, ​​"Are you still in contact with Shakira?" From the corner of her eyes, the hostess saw a white-haired old man pointing at her wristwatch to indicate that the short half-hour interview time was coming soon, so she hurriedly asked about APLUS's relationship gossip .

Shakira has long been a DIVA with a solid position in the Spanish-speaking region, and her relationship with APLUS is well known.

"Well……"

Harley next to her turned her head to look at herself, and Song Ya sat up a little straighter, "Not often... right? Occasionally... Occasionally we have a phone call, we are still very good friends."

"Shakira and your current girlfriend, Amy Adams, used to have a good relationship, right? What happened between them?"

"Uh...uh..."

I hate it, do you want me to answer that they are very good now? Song Ya complained in her heart.

He didn't see Skinner reminding the time, but he saw the old Mike holding up his mobile phone to signal to himself, it must be a major event in the stock market, and his experience also told him that the interview time is coming soon, "Are we..."

At this time, there was an untimely mobile phone vibrating sound from the quiet interview site, which came from the direction of the camera. It was too unprofessional. When this kind of interview accident occurred, Song Ya immediately classified this TV station as a refusal account, and frowned. Stare at it.

'Plop! '

Unexpectedly, the producer who was still doing well just now suddenly fell over, and brought down the camera by the way...

"What's wrong with him!? Do you need to call an ambulance? Ah? Do you need an ambulance? Ah!? Ah!?" The audience was in chaos, and Harry asked anxiously.

"It's really fucking unprofessional..." Song Ya picked up the producer's dropped cell phone, shook her head and laughed when she saw the text message on it, handed the cell phone to Skinner, turned around and left indifferently.

Skinner glanced at the text message, and immediately widened his eyes, looking at the back of his young big boss with a surge of emotion, he was so calm, as if he had learned about a trivial matter, he looked at him with eyes full of emotion Pay attention.

"YES!" After closing the door, Song Yacai clenched his fists with great excitement, bent down and growled in a low voice, "YES! M-FXXK!" The last punch hit the hard wall hard.

At 2:30 p.m. French time, half an hour before the market closed, Vivendi Universal plummeted to 18:75, that is, the lower limit, and no longer traded that day.

Messier drove everyone away, sat alone on the top of the long conference table with his forehead resting on his forehead, and remained silent.

Little Bronfman got out of the car in a daze, and looked up at the tall steeple of the family castle.

"Call me God! Call me God!"

Edison Mitchell jumped onto the desk in the trading room, yelled wildly under the eyes of the carnival crowd, and then kicked the monitor away.

"Hey..."

David Geffen lay down on the beach chair and let out a long sigh of relief, "Hehehe..." Then he shook his head and laughed alone, "Hahaha!" The voice became louder and louder.

"I see."

Underwood received a whispered notification from Chief of Staff Doug in the hall of the House of Representatives, nodded and continued to negotiate with his colleagues on the bill under discussion.

"Let's... carry out the agreement... Although we achieved the expected goal in one day... It's still the same sentence, good discipline is very important."

Julian Robertson heard some hesitant words from Song Ya on the phone in the elevator, and persuaded: "We have to talk at night, the situation is different now..."

"Maybe……"

"In the evening, let's have a good chat at night. A...Mr. Black Pharaoh..."

'Ding! '

The sound of the elevator reaching the first floor was so beautiful. He put his mobile phone in his arms, took a big step, and greeted the flashing lights of the reporters outside the door like stars.

Thank you for the 67th league rewarded by the book friends of the star fanatics!

Thank you so much!
