Chicago 1990

Chapter 1405 He Really Did It

"If Vivendi Universal's stock price returns because of your compromise, then what's the point of your bet with Bronfman Jr.? The Bronfman family of Seagram Liquor is deeply imprinted. If you buy it, you will It's like spending money to support your enemies."

And Deutsche Bank's Edison said: "So the whole thing goes round and round and back to where it was, isn't it?"

"The truth is this, so I'm still thinking about it." Song Ya replied.

"There's nothing to consider about APLUS. Next week, let's send Vivendi Universal to hell together. If the stock price is halved, the rating agencies will downgrade this company to junk status. You know what that means." Addison added advise.

The prospect outlined by the other party is very tempting, but Song Ya sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, "But the thing is like this, Mr. Edison, I don't know where you got the news that Vivendi Universal will sell Seagram Wine, I swear I know it May be earlier than you, but no more than you know. Since Seagram Wine is going to sell, I can't be the only buyer, and I can't afford it alone, so... I don't want to stop, it's actually interference Not this good news."

"Hehe, it's better to say whether it's more beneficial or not."

Edison was very patient and persuasive, "I mean it's very important to maintain our internal unity during this critical period, and we can't let our breath out."

"Uh, we... Please forgive Mr. Edison, we have never met before, isn't it a little inconvenient to talk about this?" Song Ya laughed: "My securities teacher told me not to expose positions and bets to anyone under any circumstances. One step at a time."

"The general direction, I mean the general direction." Edison said, "You can refer to my public statements as much as you can, and I have nothing to hide."

"Haha, that's different. You are the standard bearer, the hero, the hunter of all empty sides." Song Ya complimented.

"Don't interrupt APLUS."

"I didn't interrupt, I'm just an insignificant little player. To be honest, I didn't expect things to develop into what they are today..."

"Okay, okay, in short, you know my attitude? You own many listed companies in Migu, and I am also very busy. Everyone's time is precious." Edison concealed a murderous threat.

Song Ya frowned, but did not want to offend one of the world's largest banks, "I understand, I will notify you as soon as I make a decision."

"Okay, but I prefer you to make the right choice." Addison hung up the phone.

“Aren’t the omnipotent banks too powerful? Their investment arm has almost unlimited financing capacity.

Commercial banks run both securities and insurance businesses, which not only causes a serious imbalance in the ratio between short-term liabilities and long-term assets such as stocks and bonds, but also greatly affects the stability of commercial banks' operations, thereby damaging the interests of depositors... This is 193 What the U.S. Congress has wanted to understand for three years, but now it has been released by the Financial Services Modernization Act. "

Edison was more powerful and less polite than Paulson of Goldman Sachs. Song Ya rarely dealt with European bankers, and was unable to adapt to each other's style for a while. He was pacing on the lawn of the manor belonging to the Pino family while complaining to Sloan. Last night they decided to separate from the Blade Warrior 2 crew and live in a place with better privacy.

"It's not that exaggerated. They have internal risk control and rules and regulations."

Sloan replied: "After nearly 70 years of development, modern banks are much more resistant to risks, and if our banks do not change quickly, they will not be able to compete with European comprehensive banks, such as Deutsche Bank."

"Risk control...I feel like it's an afterthought when that thing works."

Looking at the Vivendi Universal incident last week, the French government can clearly understand that when their investigation of fake accounts is completed, the long-short battle will be over long ago, and the truth may not be able to be investigated afterwards, or the so-called truth.

"Don't get distracted, we're going to be busy." Sloan handed over a local morning paper.

"What did you say?"

Not knowing French, Song Ya saw her photo juxtaposed with Messier. The photo of herself was a live performance photo at the opening ceremony of the World Cup in France in 1998. Half of her body was cut off. Messier's photo should be taken late at night yesterday. It was captured at the Hilton Hotel where the dinner was held. In the distant view, the old Bronfman on crutches clearly showed his profile behind him.

"Vivendi Universal CEO Messier had an urgent meeting with APLUS late last night to discuss solutions to the Vivendi Universal crisis. The general idea is that the old Bronfman was not mentioned in the text."

Sloan explained: "I didn't mention what I talked to you specifically. But this news must have been deliberately released by Vivendi Universal."

"Oh, now the whole world can guess that I participated in shorting Vivendi Universal." Song Ya rolled her eyes.

"Boss, O'Grady's phone number." Hayden, who was drinking cocktails in the sun by the pool, came over with a cell phone that kept ringing.

"Then your stockbroker is definitely the first to guess." Sloan blinked and smiled.

The actions of the Avengers were hidden from O'Grady from the beginning to the end. Apart from being his own stockbroker, the other party was also an executive of the Northern Trust after all, so it was not safe.

Song Ya gestured to Hayden, and poked her index finger at Harley.

When Hayden handed the phone to the black mermaid who was walking back and forth in the swimming pool, Song Ya waved to Harley again.

"Hello! Mr. O'Grady... APLUS? Haven't you woken up yet? Yes, he was a little tired last night huh...Okay, I'll tell him when he wakes up." Hallie answered cleverly by lying on the poolside Called, played cover, and was rewarded with Song Yabi's thumb.

"I'm going to see Messier." Many details were left undiscussed last night, and Sloan was already getting ready to go.

"Okay." Song Ya sent him to the car.

"Holyshxt! APLUS really did it! He really did it!"

O'Grady was not angry because he didn't contact Song Ya. Combined with the news from France this morning, Song Ya transferred the huge amount of cash in his account to South Bank Bank before contacting him. Song Ya's friend Daniel was still slow, and finally he was really sure.

"Milton! Are you in France with APLUS... eh!? eh!? Are you still hiding it from me?" He immediately called Milton Davis, chairman of South Bank Bank, "Messier and old Bronfman yesterday It's too late to beg him for mercy, this matter will soon be known to the world!"

Of course Milton Davis won’t admit it, but it’s not important anymore, “Wow! Wow!” After finishing the call, O’Grady excitedly called up the K-line chart of Vivendi Universal’s plunge this week, facing Bloomberg The computer screen roared, "You did APLUS! Your M-FXXK really did it!"

"Are they all going to reduce the number of screens? If it is not reduced, what is it? No filming? None?"

Daniel Glass, who had just dropped a project, was scolding his subordinates at home in Beverly Hills: "What are you doing!? Go beg the theaters! Go... go buy, go hug their thighs and beg! I don't The movie that allowed Glass Films to start painting was withdrawn just three days later!"

"Okay, okay, let's find a way." The subordinate wiped his sweat and coaxed the boss, and handed over a fax, "It's from France."

"Go away!" Daniel repelled them, and his eyes lit up as soon as he picked up the fax, "Holyshxt!" He had the same reaction as O'Grady, and immediately opened the YAHOO stock to check the market, and compared it with the fax content, "I Oh my god! APLUS, you really did it!"

Although he was mentally prepared, it was still extremely shocking to Daniel to see two top business tycoons, Messier and Bronfman Sr., come to the door and beg for mercy from his young friend, "APLUS, you fucking cut it this week. How much meat can make them like this..."

He muttered to himself in a mess for a while, picked up the landline and called Song Ya, but was also perfunctory by Harry...Hovering his hand on the dial key for a while, he finally decided to call Xue Linfen, "Xue Lin, Did you already know?"

"What did I know?" Xue Linfen was puzzled.

"APLUS! He's in France... Anyway, he's going to shock the world again!" Daniel gossiped excitedly.

"Is APLUS kidding me? Underwood, don't tell you that you don't know! A let A's holiday news cooperate with him to short Vivendi Universal when I cooperated with you to summon Lyle Cohen?"

At the same time, the "Wall Street Sheriff" New York State Attorney General Spitzer also reacted. He immediately called Underwood to reprimand: "You are using me in partnership! For APLUS' revenge in Europe!"

"It's nothing, I'm very grateful for your help, this matter... can we have a good talk later? Don't worry, you understand me, I'm not the kind of politician who betrays his promise." Underwood began to wipe his ass.

"You better explain it!" Spitzer sternly hung up.

Maine, who knew the inside story last night, is working diligently with Barry Diller to 'package' the media tycoon John Malone of the American TV network. When he actually saw the official news from France, he grew his mouth, " We can guess that APLUS participated in the short selling of Vivendi Universal, but we did not expect his destructive power and importance to be so great that Messier and the old Bronfman would not hesitate to come to the door with humiliation, and use a small trick to alienate him. This news must have been released by Vivendi Universal..."

"In these four trading days, he should have made a lot... a lot."

Barry Diller said sourly, "That kid is too treacherous, he doesn't say a word of truth, and he has a super big heart... Futures speculation... I dare not play. Anyway, we can't just sit back and watch Vivendi Universal go bankrupt John , otherwise that repurchase agreement is worthless to us."

"Haven't you got Bronfman Jr. yet?" John Malone asked.

"No, Doug Morris and the others...everyone said they couldn't contact him, that incompetent idiot must be hiding in his hometown in Canada to play autistic, let the poor old man who is about to die come out of the mountain again, and wipe his ass... "

Barry Diller replied.

On the other hand, Viacom boss Lei Shidong was also the first to know last night, "So, Messier and the old Bronfman picked that kid as a breach of public opinion? This means that he may become a The first big short to get out of Vivendi's global battlefield?"

"It should be like this, boss." The confidant replied with a smile: "But Edison and the others may not have the courage to let APLUS do what he wants, and it seems that the kid himself hasn't made a choice yet, and he still wants to continue playing."

"I know Edgar. We fought against each other at MGM." Redstone recalled the business war with the old Bronfman. "He is a good hunter. This matter will not be that simple."

"He is dying, and he has already transferred almost all his wealth and power to that useless son." The confidant knew that Viacom was coveting Littman Media owned by APLUS, so he asked for instructions: "We secretly help the old man. Mr. Bronfman?"

"Tsk!"

Lei Shidong, who was coveting Litman Media, smacked his lips irritably, but the acquisition of BET TV Network has entered a critical moment, and he has no time to be distracted, "Forget it, we don't have the energy to intervene in France's affairs at the moment, that kid will have revenge His vengeance and mobility also left a deep impression on me, he must have been secretly preparing for a long time..."

"Peter, is our case with A+ Films still going on?"

News Corporation boss Rupert Murdoch also picked up the phone and called Pete Cherning, president of Fox Group.

"The Titanic lawsuit? Yes, it's still going on."

Pete Chernin replied: "Well, A+ Film Studio has been renamed A+ Entertainment, and the hip-hop competition with high ratings recently is produced by A+ Entertainment."

"What an old-fashioned Chicago businessman." Murdoch couldn't help but sigh.

"What?" Petchernin didn't hear the boss's whisper clearly, "That lawsuit...do you want to settle with them?"

"Reconciliation? No!"

Of course, Murdoch is unwilling to settle, and it would be good to drag the lawsuit to pay a penny less and earn a penny more interest. "Just pay more attention to APLUS's movements, especially after he comes back from France, to see if his main focus is on In the lawsuit with us."

"Okay, boss."

"Report to me anytime."

"yes!"

Disney Headquarters, Burbank, Los Angeles, "Shouldn't Jr. Bronfman understand what kind of killer he has brought into the family?"

Disney boss Eisner said to his confidant Linton with a smile: "Hollywood's most stupid tycoon really deserves his name."

"You mean Mr. Edgar Bronfman Jr.?"

Linton flattered him immediately, "Haha, this fate is not surprising, you have seen him through for a long time, haven't you?"

"Yeah." Eisner half-lyed on the chair and patted his beer belly comfortably, "The last time we signed a contract with APLUS who was kicked out of Universal by that idiot, APLUS learned of the clause that prohibited him from holding Disney stocks. After that, do you have any indication?"

"Well……"

Linton, the roundworm in his stomach, immediately knew that the boss's paranoia had flared up again, and pretended to recall, "No, I just asked, and there was nothing special after confirmation."

"Did you see that?" Eisner asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Of course, I was responsible for telling the story at the time, and I was by his side." Linton dared not tell the truth.

"Why!"

Eisner did not suspect him, picked up the fax, stared at the old Bronfman's silver hair in the photo, and sighed sadly, but soon turned to a sneer, and then went into a doze state with confidence.

"APLUS."

Sloan opened the car door and suddenly turned around and asked, "Will you agree to Messier and the others?"

"Don't you know that I'm still thinking about it? It depends..."

Song Ya was a little puzzled, "Why do you ask that?"

"You will eventually agree, I understand you."

Sloan smoothed his long hair blown by the wind with his fingers, looked straight at him and smiled, "I think your character is sometimes like a dog, uncontrollably keen to pee on your own territory and trophies. You Can't resist this temptation... can you?"

"This metaphor is really vulgar..."

Song Ya also laughed, "Wow, woof, woof..." He imitated Teddy's call on the spot, and drove Sloan, who was covering his mouth and enjoying himself, all the way into the car.
