Reborn American Tycoon

　Tsk, from the looks of it, buddy is still very energetic.Well, he can still act like he's hungry, his acting skills are definitely Oscar-level.

　Looking at the handsome boy in the mirror, Natasha couldn't help feeling a little sad.Although this bastard has matured a bit after wearing glasses, the youthful aura exuding from his body makes people go crazy with envy.

　Regarding this point, William White is still a little proud. Although there are no time-traveling benefits and no plug-in system, his physical condition is still a little different.At the very least, at this age in the previous life, this guy needed contact lenses, but now, the glasses are just props, so that he doesn't look too young.

　Gary Davis, Governor of California.As far as the relationship with this guy is concerned, it's just barely.As the richest local tyrant in the United States, William White doesn't need to pay attention at all. To put it bluntly, there must be more people who want him.

　Of course, as a party country, you can't completely abandon the stuff in some scenes.Unless, unless you plan to stay at home and not ask about world affairs.

　It's actually not bad to say that, hunting and fishing, if you are interested, you can let your dog legs handle it.Don't worry, he can definitely stand on the streets of Hollywood and say, he can sleep with whoever he wants.

　It sounds vulgar at first, but who can deny this fact.Although Redstone and Murdoch are so old, the two old guys are much more excessive than William White.Hey, if there were no such nonsense, why do you think Lei Shidong's wife is making trouble.

　"Um, George, aren't you in London? Why did you come to California? This is my territory. It's really meaningless to not say anything when you come here.

　How about it, how about going to play together another day. "Solos was stunned, and he didn't expect to run into William White here.

　But, do we know each other so well?

　Also, the governor of California is on the sidelines, and you actually said that it is your territory, which is really a bit arrogant.Well, if you don't play like this, the governor's official is not small, and you have to treat him as a cadre.

　Of course, even if you don't know the purpose of reaching out and not hitting the smiling face, there is really no need to offend him.William White's chicken belly, let alone in the United States, is probably well-known all over the world.

　"Hahaha, hahaha, Gray has a party here, and it happens to have a project that I am interested in, so you see, many of the people who come are Wall Street managers."

　Well, William White was a little dizzy, originally thought it was a charity dinner.This is also because he made an empirical mistake. Generally speaking, he rarely participates in parties with other themes except for people with very close relationships.

　Faced with this embarrassment, William White didn't care.As soon as he thought about it, he understood, what is the biggest problem in California now?

　Energy crisis!

　I can't figure it out, and only the magical continent of the United States can have such a weird scene.

　Local Energy Crisis!

　Nima, when the world war broke out, the United States had never heard of any restrictions.You think that the Kingdom of the Chosen is just talking casually.It is said that Tu'ao is a country on mine carts, but Tu'ao's mineral products have limitations. At the very least, it is not heard that there is much oil.

　The United States is different. Apart from the fact that the population is not so abundant, the United States has no obvious shortcomings.As for the subsequent oil crisis, it was even more ridiculous. These were nothing but conspiracy of the monopoly giants.

　Just one piece of oil in the Gulf of Mexico is enough for Americans to be self-sufficient. If you add Texas, Nima, you can't run out of it.With the relocation of industry, the energy demand in the United States has not increased too significantly.As for the rise in oil prices in recent years, it is generally a normal return of value.

　Speaking of California's energy crisis this time, it's like a joke.This guy sold his power plant and natural gas pipeline network, and now his suppliers have raised prices, not just a little bit, but doubled.

　Um, isn't it funny?

　The funniest thing is that the price doesn't seem to be able to rise too much.In this way, Pacific Gas Electric will lose a little for every kilowatt-hour sold, and the more you sell, the more you will lose.The final result is basically doomed, so bad that he vomited blood and died.

　Listening to Gary Davis' narration, William White's shock can be imagined.He wasn't surprised by this weird situation, he was surprised that this guy actually planned to use the state's finances to cover the bottom line.

　As we all know, no government is too rich, especially a country with a budget system like the United States.What kind of money can be used and how much money can be used has been decided early on.You suddenly have such a moth here, the state finances that are already making ends meet, is this the rhythm of going bankrupt directly?

　This is not the most exaggerated, the guy who talks so eloquently on the other side actually plans to introduce strategic investors.

　Nima, you are unlucky, you can't even be a broker.A bastard like Buffett likes this kind of cigarette butt company the most. As long as this company does not go bankrupt, he can always take advantage of it.Anyway, no matter whether it is dry or not, you can throw it away after taking two puffs.

　But who is Soros?

　This kind of super big short, you dislike the Pacific and die fast enough.

　As for William White?

　My buddy has a lot of money, but not a dime is superfluous.A capitalist must look at the profit. If he sells a company worth 300 to [-] billion yuan now, it really won't cost much.But, if this blame is taken by oneself, those old foxes will probably go crazy with joy.

　I am afraid that by that time, the current purchase price will not be able to beat it.Anyway, it’s all about marketization, so let’s add another zero.Buying it for ten yuan and selling it for one yuan, even though William White has a lot of money, he probably won't be able to support it for too long.

Chapter 427

　In William White's view, this situation couldn't be simpler.There is no need for anyone to ask questions about how the Pacific made such a foolish move.Industrial capitalization, everyone from General Electric to Enron is doing it.Ultimately, each of these companies wants to turn itself into a giant financial institution.

　It is hard to say which is right and which is wrong. Before the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, all of this was very beautiful.The size of the company has grown, profits have increased, and the stock price has increased.It seems that all of them are beneficiaries.

　It's hard to comment on these things, but there are obviously problems with the current energy suppliers.A price alliance between two or several companies is not allowed in any country.If electricity can play like this, what about food, what about iron ore, if William White spends money to buy it, there is nothing in this world whose price will not skyrocket.

　The price gouging of Hongguoguo, have all the bosses from the Ministry of Justice been to Christmas?

　It doesn't matter if you are gone, the people of California may need to light candles for the holidays.If this happened, the United States might become a joke of the whole world.

　"William, you don't seem to be very interested!"

　Seeing Soros with a strange smile, William White shrugged indifferently. "George, it's actually not bad. Did you see that the state government provided a guarantee. I think if the state government is not bankrupt, the Pacific can still be rescued."

　Soros didn't care about William White's nonsense.At their level, speaking nonsense as truth is the most basic quality.

　"Guarantee? Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know, even if there is no such thing, the California government may go bankrupt and reorganize.

　Alas, unfortunately, that is, you cannot short California.Judging from my many years of investment experience, if you can go short, it will be the safest order, and there is no such thing. "

　"Tsk, otherwise, I can still move. If the government runs out of money, I don't know if the police department will be disbanded. If there is another chaos in Los Angeles, I really don't know how to deal with it."

　William White is not talking about it casually. It was originally a disturbance on the Internet, and later it spread to the entire Nasdaq.Don't think this is a main board, but its role in boosting the economy will definitely not be much worse than the Dow.

　Stocks on the main board market are more of a demand for asset allocation.Although institutional investors hold a large number of stocks, when it comes to liquidity and turnover rate, the difference between the two is still very large.

　Originally thought it was just a short-term adjustment, but no one thought that this sudden turmoil not only affected the main board market, but also began to impact the real economy.The latest non-farm payrolls data shows that employment in the United States is deteriorating.Particularly troubling is the surge in the number of people registering for unemployment for the first time.

　As for California, sorry, but this is where Silicon Valley is located, the epicenter.

　Losing a job, receiving unemployment benefits, being unable to pay off a credit card, and losing your home and car are at increased risk.At this time, the sudden increase in energy expenditure can definitely ignite everyone's anger.

　Think about it, if at this time, the whole city suddenly became dark.

　Rest assured, you will witness the formation of a war zone.Yingjiang may or may not have other skills, but they are definitely very good at shooting every day.When economic and social problems occur, the supermarkets selling weapons will be overcrowded.In order not to be harmed, there must be sufficient deterrence of force.

　Well, since there is such a possibility, he, William White, is crazy to stay here.

　As for whether there is a way?

　I'm sorry, I really don't have this one, and I don't even have a chance.

　To be honest, if all the assets sold before are in hand, William White can certainly invest.Environmental protection is the general trend in the future. Power plants with natural gas as the main energy source will surely usher in their own spring in the future.

　So what now?

　You have nothing, where can I invest.Except for some office facilities, there are a bunch of idle employees.

　"George, it seems neither of us can help."

　Soros raised his glass to invite him to drink, and William White's words were considered to be on point.The situation is so bad that it's not even worth shorting.

　You William White cherish feathers, he Soros is not so particular.Of course, if William White invested, it would be different.In any case, we have to bite the next piece of fat.

　"It's too nonsense, the government is covering everything?

　Hmph, Gray Davis is out of his mind, or the governor of this guy doesn't want to do it anymore. "

　Of course, Buffett also received the invitation. Of course, if he knew that William White would appear, he probably wouldn't mind taking a trip to Los Angeles.Or, if the two join forces, it seems that there is still a lot of value.

　"The timing is not right, if it is later, it is indeed a good opportunity to buy the bottom.

　But now, they can encourage it to be maintained, and there is support from the state government behind it. Hey, is this going to be nationalized? "

　Charlie Munger was somewhat disapproving of Buffett's entanglement.What's wrong with William White? He doesn't believe that William White will invest in such a bad project in this era when cash is king.

　Contrary to what William White thought, because they like to pick up junk and smoke butts, the two big brothers of Hathaway are very aware of the value of Pacific Gas.

　Although there are a lot of assets sold, there are still a lot of good things in this guy's hands.With a valuation of 300 billion U.S. dollars, this is of course a big pit, but 50 billion, there is no problem at all.

　Therefore, the current time is wrong, if it erupts later, there will be too many things that can be manipulated.It's good to be able to save the life at that time, but if it's really not possible, can't you continue to sell it?

　But now, this matter is strange!

　The appearance of William White was very surprising, why did Soros go too.Doesn't he know that he is a very unpopular person.

　"Honey, what's the matter with you?" As the person next to her, Natasha naturally knew this guy very well.It's different from what the outside world imagined. This man never deliberately hides such things as joy, anger, sorrow and joy.I really don't understand, because Mao said that this guy is a smiling tiger.

　"Oh, I made a mistake in the first place. This party shouldn't be going. It's okay to go, but now I know that they intend to make things worse.

　And I couldn't do anything. "

　"Well, manpower is sometimes poor, and you are not a superman, how can you be invincible."

　"Um, you said that guy who likes to wear his underpants outside, speaking of which, this guy is still very trendy, and he knew how to wear underwear outside decades ago.

　Or, Natasha, we'll have Superman Vs.You see, Superman vs. Spiderman is pretty good. "

　"I hate it, I'm still in the car. Don't talk, don't, it's up to you later."

　This guy's emotions came and went easily, and he just said a few words, and he planned to fight in an all-round way.

Chapter 428 Power Vacuum

　Since there is no power to change anything, the best choice is naturally to sit on the sidelines.Of course, it is also important to understand the driving force behind this.William White couldn't believe that a few inconspicuous little characters could actually play such a big game.

　"Um, William, are you saying that there is no possibility of redemption?" With the recount in Florida coming to an end, Bush's identity was finally confirmed.While being inexplicably excited, he also discovered that he needed to fill in the moths that the donkeys made before.

　"George, this is what they asked for. I have never encountered such a weird thing. To be honest, it is God's blessing that they have not gone bankrupt until now."

　Little Bush couldn't accept this answer at all.Donkeys are very strong in California. Now that something like this has happened, of course they should attack the city.

　However, it's true that Lao Ke is a lame duck, but you can't do it for him.He had thought well at first, after he came to power, this trouble should be over, and even if there was anything, it would not be his current class' fault.

　Unfortunately, according to the briefing just obtained, Pacific Gas Electric is planning to go bankrupt.

　Um, this guy just lay down on the ground and doesn't care about anything, but, the matter doesn't end there.No electricity or no electricity, no gas or no gas.

　"William, do you know what $300 a megawatt-hour means?

　God, what an absurd price this should be. "

　Of course William White knew the absurdity, this is basically more than ten times the electricity price in Texas.That is to say, there are not many industries in California. This kind of electricity price is plundering for ordinary residents, but it is basically equivalent to murder for industrial and mining enterprises.

　"So tell me, George, what are you going to do now?

　By the way, Gray Davis told me yesterday that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rejected California's complaint. Do you know that with the current electricity bill, my taxis need to consider shutting down the power cuts. "

　Although this guy is talking nonsense, how much you can use for a store is just to reduce some profits.Alternatively, the price of frozen food and beverages will increase appropriately.

　But these are not important. What is important is that William White told the future boss of the United States that it is not so simple.Such superficial price manipulation has become a manifestation of marketization when it comes to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

　The most outrageous thing is that the Ministry of Justice actually ignored it.

　"What? Is Patawood crazy or stupid?" Little Bushu's question obviously had no answer.William White knew that it could be said that this guy was able to sit in the current position, it can be said that it was entirely Kenneth Lay's handwriting, and this great master was the CEO of Enron.

　See it, there is a story in it!

　First of all, Enron was the first to play with industrial securitization.And this Pacific Gas obviously intends to follow suit.

　From An Ran's point of view, you are simply impatient to live.Wouldn't it be nice to dance on the platform I built, how dare you start all over again.If everyone follows suit, my life will be difficult.

　Since you want to die, I'm sorry, my buddy will give you a ride.

　Little Bush understood that William White did not say the most critical content.Because there is no need, if you understand, then you should pretend to be a fool, if you don't understand, you should continue to understand.

　There is no other way to say it. It is simply unimaginable for such a colossus like An Ran to involve so many forces.

　Electricity prices can also be hyped like stocks. William White really doesn't know what to say about the magical brain circuits of these bastards.

　If it becomes normal in the future, you will find a very strange scene. Where the electricity price is low, it does not matter to turn on the air conditioner 24 hours a day. Where the electricity price is expensive, it is better to use candles.Because when you are using electricity, you can definitely hear the sound of gold coins slipping from your pocket.

　William White finally understood how Enron's growth bubble against the trend was blown.General Electric, a company whose market value is much higher than that of Enron, had a profit of only about 99 billion in 100.

　But what about An Ran?

　According to statistics afterwards, in less than a year, California was robbed of 200 billion dollars.Among them, Enron benefited more than [-]%.

　It's just a business, which directly puts General Electric on the ground. If other profits are counted, it seems that a trillion yuan valuation is not impossible.

　Other companies are making money, this product is directly stealing money.In this process, all the regulatory agencies in the United States are collectively absent.

　You see, this is why William White can be sure that as long as the Ministry of Justice comes to trouble him, there must be some external force involved.

　Otherwise, it would be impossible. William White's influence is definitely not comparable to that of An Ran.

　You see, it's just a game console.The Ministry of Justice is so idle that it hurts to remember to investigate what kind of monopoly.

　But the protagonist was replaced by Enron. From Peanutton to Wall Street, except for the governor of California and some congressmen who were filled with righteous indignation, all other forces and people suddenly turned into mud-bodied wood sculptures.

　For game consoles, do you think that a monopoly will reduce market competition.This bastard in the legendary world will eventually sell this thing for a sky-high price.

　To be honest, do you believe what you say?

　What is the current situation?

　The selling price and cost of game consoles are upside down. Without those popular game software, Legendary World would have vomited blood.

　Of course, he, William White, is not a good bird either.In this incident, he has benefited a lot, if not, this guy's poisonous tongue has never let anyone go.

　Regardless of Bush's entanglement, William White is very clear that, as a veteran oil family, he really knows Enron too well.
