Chapter 751 ? The Wolf of Wall Street
Fortunately, when the distinguished guests from inside and outside the circle arrived one after another, these guys finally restrained themselves and changed the 'battlefield' to other places.
"Hey, Claire..."
Song Ya personally received Underwood's wife and several of her artist friends, "Hello, hello." One of the male photographers seems to be very famous, and he specializes in taking portraits of poverty-stricken and war-torn areas. He has had many solo photography exhibitions and won many awards.
Unexpectedly, Claire, the usually cold politician's wife and broker and New York artist social circle, has nothing to do with her. Song Ya knew the purpose of her running here, "Where are Jim and the others, I will take you there to meet?"
"Okay, congratulations to you APLUS." Claire smiled, "All the news is about to praise you to the sky."
"Hey, actually this is not the final result for me. You know, my stock has a lock-up period. Who knows if I can maintain today's stock price..."
Song Ya took her to meet Jim Clark, Quatson and others, the wife of the donkey party whip, and everyone is happy to make friends with each other.
"Where's Alicia? She's coming to New York too, right?" Claire asked during the party.
"Should be in New York today, but she doesn't want to come to this kind of occasion." Song Ya blinked.
Claire must have also thought of those photos of Peter, and the two laughed tacitly.
"Jim, congratulations."
At this time, three white men who were surrounded by many stockbrokers came over. The old man in the lead was very dignified, and he looked like a bigwig in the financial circle.
"Carl Icahn."
Jim Clark reminded in a low voice, then laughed and shook hands with each other.
Radical corporate predators have a well-known reputation. Song Ya knows that this old man likes to launch malicious bids and short selling for companies. He is one of the Wall Streeters who founders of companies like Jim least like.
The two younger white men next to Carl Icahn also have a lot of background, one is Milken, the king of junk bonds, and the other is Belfort, the king of junk stocks. The three are all Jewish, and they all have dirty wrists. An ambitious man who likes to wander in legally blurred areas. Carl Icahn was the one who charged forward. Milken and Belfort used the money legally defrauded from investors to provide him with ammunition, and the three cooperated tacitly.
However, as early as 1990, Milken was fined and compensated a total of more than one billion knives for crimes such as illegal transactions, non-disclosure of major information, tax evasion, and illegal profits. He also sat in prison for more than a year and was banned from entering the securities industry for life. The prosecutor who handled his case at the time was Giuliani, the mayor of New York today. Mira's father was playing tricks again in front of this person.
"You shouldn't be here." Nobody likes them here, Morgan Stanley's Quatson told Milken.
"It's not illegal to go to a party."
Milken said with a smile: "I'll come over with my old friend to have fun."
"Mr. Baxter, you have been publicly attacking Microsoft. You and Jim think that you will bring great competitive pressure to Microsoft, but Microsoft's Windows 95 operating system will be officially launched in ten days. They are all very optimistic about that epoch-making product, do you think your company’s stock price will be under pressure in turn?”
The youngest Belfort is also the most aggressive. He stared at Baxter next to Jim Clark with wolf-like eyes, aggressive, "You mentioned your alliance with SUN in an interview today, and your enterprise intranet The server project will not run any Microsoft products at all, right?"
Could it be that it was targeted by the big short sellers on Wall Street as soon as it went public? Indeed, the stock price soared a bit high on the first day...
Song Ya knows that these three guys are here to cause trouble, so declare war? Or deliberately to stimulate people?
These Wall Street masters may not necessarily be short,
What they are most afraid of is that calmness is like water. As long as the company responds, they can make money no matter what the result is. Just like Carl Icahn often initiates hostile bids. If the shareholders of the target company admit defeat, he can snatch As far as the control of the enterprise is concerned, if the other party resists fiercely, the stock price will inevitably be pulled up in the competition between the two parties, and they can also see the right time to make a profit and leave the market.
Everyone seemed to stop laughing, and Song Ya quietly closed her grinning mouth.
"Microsoft represents the past, and the Internet is the future. Just like oil replacing coal or many traditional industries disappearing silently under the influence of new technologies, do you think there will be direct competition? Not necessarily, but the final loser must be It's them," Baxter replied.
"You explained it well," Carl Icahn smiled approvingly at Baxter.
This guy seems to be also a shareholder of Marvel, and he is fighting with another financial tycoon Perelman on the Marvel board of directors. He should copy the previous successful routine on Marvel's side. Perelman has been in a bad situation recently, and his net worth has increased significantly. Shrinking, still under investigation by the government of the donkey party, but after all, he was once the fourteenth richest man in the world, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. There will inevitably be a fierce struggle between the two sides.
This kind of person has a rich family background, and the funds he can mobilize far exceed his net worth. Song Ya knows that he can only watch the show from afar.
but……
A scene from a movie starring Xiao Li seemed to be revealed in his mind. A group of guys who seemed to be Wall Street stockbrokers were carnivaling like beasts in the company. What they did was very similar to the live broadcast of the scene he had seen before.
a new movie He was a little dizzy.
"What's wrong with you APLUS..."
Claire beside him noticed his abnormality.
"It's nothing, I'm fine." Song Ya put down her hand on her forehead.
Carl Icahn usually doesn’t ask about the specific operation of the company. It seems that he doesn’t know that people from Marvel have asked him to talk about the Blade Warrior project, “APLUS, I like your sentence very much. There are too many flying pigs on the wind , I will give you a piece of advice, if you don’t hurry up and enrich yourself, the fall will be harder.”
"I didn't mean to scold myself when I said that..." Why did Song Ya listen to the other party's words so strangely?
"Haha, just kidding... sorry, let's go away."
Carl Icahn and the others went to socialize with other people, "Are you in good health?" Jim Clark sneered at their backs, and then he also cared about Song Ya, "Too excited? Don't do it today... I don't want to have An ambulance showed up outside."
"Why don't you go home and have a rest, you are also very tired, I know it's a bit embarrassing for you during this period, big star." Baxter also persuaded.
"That's fine."
Anyway, I have the burden of being a celebrity, so I can't play like those stockbrokers, Song Ya went downhill, "Sorry, Claire, I'll go back and have a rest, you..."
"It's okay, my friends are over there..." Claire pointed not far away.
"Okay, bye."
Song Ya went to find Linda. At this time, Daniel, Newman, and Yongdao's Samuel also came, and they chatted briefly, "I'll go back first, you can continue..."
Pleading guilty to leave the party, O'Grady who came with him stayed, and Dr. Chen followed naturally. He found Ms. Sloan following from behind, "Don't you play a little longer? There are many tycoons in it, which is helpful for you to expand your network." benefit."
"Forget it, I'm a little tired too."
Old Mike drove back to his home in Tribeca, and a lot of reporters had already gathered under the building, "Is it his car? He's coming!" Seeing the cars that were about to turn into the parking lot, they surrounded them desperately , "APLUS! Talk about your investment! You made another 100 million today, right!?"
"APLUS, when did you meet Mark Anderson?"
"Stop and have a chat!"
Netscape has been successfully listed, and Song Ya has no obligation to help with publicity now. Accompanied by random questions, flashing lights, the sound of the old Mike honking the horn, and the sound of the car windows being thumped, the car drove through the crowd and drove into the Private underground garage.
"The news must have exploded today." Ms. Sloan looked back at the reporters who were stopped behind by security.
"Go home and watch TV."
A group of people went upstairs and returned home. Alicia was already there, slumped lazily on the sofa with one leg crossed over the other, chatting with several people involved in the capital injection case of the inner city broadcasting company. watch TV.
"You don't have to continue working today," Song Ya said.
"APLUS will be signed with the inner city broadcasting company tomorrow." Alicia replied.
She didn't get up to greet her, and the two of them didn't have any communication other than this conversation, "Okay, I'll go up and take a shower first, wait for me." Song Ya confessed a few words and went upstairs.
"You and Peter got back together?" Ms. Sloan looked at Alicia a few times, and then sat next to him.
"No, no, why do you ask that?" Alicia asked strangely.
"Then why did you get shaved..." Sloan pointed to her calf, "that usually means to women our age..."
"Hey! Stop guessing..."
Alicia hurriedly put down her raised legs, "Your observation skills are really sharp, Sloan."
