Reborn American Tycoon
Page 712
One old and one young are bickering, but they also seem to be enjoying themselves.Of course, this is the view of bystanders, and Buffett himself does not see it that way. This bastard, leave the left sentence for future generations, and the right sentence for grandchildren.
Nima, the old man hasn't retired yet.Besides, when did you and I belong to the same generation? Alas, looking at this handsome face, if you say you are not jealous at all, you are simply deceiving yourself.
"Well, I heard that one billion is going to be used to save lives, Warren, let's talk about the terms at this time, I think we can discuss everything." William White raised his glass slightly, talking to Buffett in a very low voice.Although many people wanted to come up and listen, it was a pity that William White's subordinates very tacitly cut off everyone's sight.
Although everyone knows that those superficial arguments just now can't explain anything.It can't be said that the two of them are just singing double reeds, which is basically a kind of tacit understanding.On the contrary, this kind of conversation now often has some content.
"One billion? I don't know if it's enough. Hey, I heard that Morgan Stanley is very interested in your new energy. I wonder how much they plan to invest?"
"Tch, comparing me to Enron, you are really too much. Even if it has fallen a lot now, it still has a market value of at least 800 billion. And here, 8000 million is just a structure that has just taken shape." He was very polite, but Buffett read William White's expression very clearly.Yes, just disdain, so what if 800 billion, it may not be more potential than my company.
For a moment, Buffett was even shaken.Yes, William White's new company is a pit, a pit similar to Tesla's rocket power.Not only will there be no returns in the short term, it also requires you to keep filling holes.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you say that the shares are diluted, so just pretend I didn't say that.However, no matter how bad William White's subsidiaries are, they will not be unable to go public. If they can't even handle this, it's really not shameful enough.
But it’s the bottom of the hole. If William White squandered the money, no one would believe it.
As long as it is an investment, there must be a possibility of failure.As an investor, failure is acceptable, but artificial failure is absolutely unforgivable.
Hathaway's stock price is so high, but it does not split its shares. After all, everyone's investment subjects are completely different.
Although some veteran super families have faded out of the public eye, if you think they don't exist, I'm sorry, you may be taught to be a human being in the next moment.
Of course, if you think about it, you can think about it, let's forget about the investment.If Enron is his heavy stock, let me put it bluntly, if you can't get back these losses, you can settle it yourself.
It's okay to lose money, this kind of inexplicable loss of money, you can't think that we are all winners.
Or it might be that the public is honest and powerful, but William White's ostentatious deceit is not annoying.You see, I have a dream now, you can either become one of them, or you can stand on the sidelines, anyway, the concept of new energy has really appeared.
"Warren, it's not that I don't accept your proposal. I have no intention of telling you a secret. Therefore, I am really speechless about taking a favor for nothing."
Buffett was not surprised by this explanation.Of course, that shouldn't be the case.
"As for Citigroup, although I'm annoyed by them, this time, I won't interfere. Let me tell you, Warren, I haven't done anything for the past month except to study Enron's annual report.
Gosh, you might not believe it, actually, I hope they get through this.
Believe me, it's going to be a catastrophe, a catastrophe comparable to the end of the world. "Don't bother with Buffett any more, since you've run out of words, it's better to leave early.
Enron's market value was only [-] million in the end. If you think about it, the highest was close to [-] billion, and in the end it was only a fraction.To be honest, the speed and method of this kind of collapse, except for the Great Depression, it is difficult to find a similar case.
Shell resources and the like are not only owned by the rabbit state, but the eagle sauce is actually the same, and they often sell these things around.Shell resources in the United States are relatively cheap, but no matter how cheap they are, tens of millions should not be a big problem.
But less than [-] million, can you believe it?
"Is the old guy thinking I'm stupid?" William White was still chattering a little on the way home.This guy seems very excited today, and Natasha can feel it very clearly.
Alas, this guy is really young and enviable.You are so demanding, my old lady can't bear it.
"Hehehe, hehehe, you are the only one who is smart. In the United States, no one is smarter than my man. But, can you tell me what is going on?"
"Well, it's not a good thing to say. I'm about to suffer a heavy loss. In order to commemorate this special day, I think we need to do something more meaningful."
"Hate" looking at this fellow with scorching eyes, Natasha obviously couldn't bear it.
"Oh, heavy losses? But recently, you have suffered heavy losses?"
"Alas!" William White sighed, Nima, do you know how to chat, my buddy is very hurt if you chat like this.
"The so-called yin and yang, 911 is just an inducement, without this incident, many things would not have been revealed.
And a healthy market will benefit all participants.If a black sheep like An Ran cannot be severely punished, how can you embarrass those conscientious entrepreneurs. "
William White said so, of course, not aimlessly.Before the Great Depression, the U.S. stock market was arguably the most chaotic market in the world.Fraud is written on everyone's face, either be cheated or cheated, this is the only law of survival.
The harsh punishments and laws after the Great Depression were very appropriate at the time, and they did play a role in calming the sea.Wall Street eventually became the largest trading market in the world. These extremely strict regulations are actually a big factor.
National sovereign wealth funds must look at security.But if a super blue chip like Enron is cheating, why don't you let us worry.
Tsk, or buy government bonds first.
The harsh punishments at that time are nothing at all now.It is impossible for you to ignore the matter of Enron.Then, in this way, it must be more stringent supervision.
The floating chips were scared away, and the less mature ones were cut off immediately.Then, this must be the end of the century, and his excitement about William White actually came from here.
Nima, my buddy doesn't have the M attribute, and he gets excited when he loses money. Isn't this a disease?When I have lost a lot, I can still think about it, my God, how heartless this is.
Chapter 497 Fu Wushuang Arrives
Wall Street is on the brink of collapse, not to say it was affected by 911/[-].In terms of impact, this does exist. In fact, more and more financial institutions have chosen to leave.
In the age of fiber optics and the Internet, there is really no need to continue crowding in this narrow street.In fact, for people with spatial phobia, this place is so bad that it is difficult not to get sick.
The collapse mentioned here naturally does not mean the departure of the situation.As the Enron incident became clearer, investors were surprised to find that fraud is a normal practice in the United States.
The building collapsed. If you only look at it from an economic point of view, it is actually nothing at all.How much money can there be, billions is incredible.What is collapsing now is faith. For a long time, Wall Street has been very reliable. Let alone a super blue chip like Enron, even those so-called penny stocks and junk stocks rarely heard of any fraudulent performance.
Because of the high cost, Yingjiang is playing case judgment here, which means that if the case is universal, it is basically equivalent to a class action.As long as you are convicted once, it will be a sad reminder. The next case will be judged like this. Until you go bankrupt, nothing will change.
For various reasons, and in the United States, there is a registration system.Generally speaking, there may be edge balls, large-scale and deliberate, but there is no such falsification.
Wall Street executives are not idle, even with the ruins around them.But since God didn't take him away, he naturally hoped that he would continue to suffer.
What happened to Enron, now not only the China Securities Regulatory Commission wants to know, they actually want to know even more.Merrill Lynch and Standard & Poor's downgraded Enron's credit rating again. What's hidden in it must be in your hands.
It's just a pity that after checking and checking, the matter of An Ran has not been clarified, and Global Crossing seems to be unable to hold on.
"No other industry can demonstrate so effectively, and have such creative destruction." Crazy investment in fiber optic cable construction has produced eye-popping excess surplus, and fiber optic cable access, relying on the growth myth of the Internet and telecommunications industry, has become an investment that began in the last century Another drag on the bubble.This series of bubbles caused the output market to lag behind the input market, the aura of personal wealth obscured the actual performance growth of the company, and the unscrupulous and clear accounting system accelerated the surging and bursting of the bubble.
Regarding the olive branch of Global Crossing, William White said that he would not accept the pot.Nima, you can't fool Li Chaoren, why do you think I will be willing.
Hmph, it makes you groan.It is optical fiber or something, the more you use the better, although the current optical fiber is worthless, but this one is stable.
Hey, telecommunications companies rush to the street, but those who sell optical fiber technology don't know.It is said that investment is risky and you need to be cautious when entering the pit, why don't you listen.
"Boss, we have analyzed Hutchison's investment. It is true that we have invested a maximum of three to five billion yuan. Even so, the risk is very high." Speaking of which, Filson glanced at his boss and had to say, this Casual guy, seems to be right again.
The communication industry, due to the connivance and fueling of the governments of various countries, this industry has inevitably become deformed.When the 3G license was fired to the sky, William White had a very clear prediction of the current situation.
Hmph, the money is easy to collect, but not easy to digest.Global Crossing, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
"Hey, Filson, believe it or not, Li Chaoren will refuse even if it is [-] million US dollars.
Alas, he will figure it out.Or, he has already figured it out, and the current pretentious gesture is just to give shareholders an explanation. "
Li Chaoren is not so simple, William White naturally knows.In fact, Hutchison did not intend to participate in the 3G license auction after London.
Hehe, otherwise, how could the most important German license plate fail to cause any waves.
Not to mention the weirdness, there are obvious signs of collusion, but as a German whose interests have been damaged, he doesn't show anything.
Rigorous and pragmatic traits, this is innate.No matter how fiercely you bluff, it’s nonsense, fakes can’t be true, virtual wealth is virtual, and this is also the easiest type of wealth to disappear.
"Get ready for the money, this wave of communication stocks is over. Tourism, aviation, insurance, finance, communication, Internet." William White smiled wryly, and it is really outrageous now.Except for the medical and military stocks that still have some support, the others are almost in a state of complete silence.
Of course, it's hard for you to say whether this situation is exactly what this guy expected.
"Daddy, will they agree? If they accept it, it will be regarded as a kind of broken wrist by a strong man." Wiping the cold sweat off his brow, Little Superman now has lingering fears.What can he say, dare to say?
Could it be said that I guessed the beginning right, but never thought it would end like this.If he knew this earlier, wouldn't it be good to run away after finishing one vote?
"Son, it's impossible. You have to understand the mentality of your opponent. If Hutchison wins, the existing management will inevitably be purged.
As for the delay, it will definitely go bankrupt. Isn't it still possible to apply for compensation? "Failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is that you don't learn from experience and lessons. I have to say that the failed investment in Global Crossing is actually a valuable asset for the Li family and his son.
"So they went to talk to William White?
Hahaha, hahaha, who is William White, how could he be fooled by these guys.If it is true as the outside world said, don't we need to communicate with the largest shareholder now. "
On this point, Li Chaoren is very sure.William White is a man of great measure, and it is impossible for him to be casual about this kind of investment.
Success, it may be luck every time.Be cautious on 3G, you can see now, Universal can't hold on anymore, will WorldCom be far behind?Can Vodafone still make a fuss?
"Hehe, not good at managing communication companies?" Buffett smiled wryly. Isn't this kid even interested in hiding it?
"Yes, I didn't bother to make up the connection port. Now it's over. Many brickmakers guessed wrong again. There is no comeback, and there is no bargaining."
"This bastard, how can anyone still be willing to humiliate themselves. You expect William White to play his cards according to common sense, it is simply as stupid as a pig."
Of course William White doesn't want to join the team, he is still carrying two antitrust lawsuits.Although it doesn't matter if it is delayed for a few more years, isn't this also a thing?
If you expand at this time, you really think that the Ministry of Justice is full of dead people.
Chapter 498 Those who can destroy the United States are actually themselves.
Sure enough, as soon as White's investment was rejected, Global Crossing's stock price fell back.That's not all. First, the communication stocks fell, and then the financial heavyweights followed suit. Finally, the Dow lost its support, and then looked for a support point.
Glancing at the slightly gray sky, William White was also extremely tangled.Now, it is obviously not the best time to make a move, even if you pay some price, it may not be successful.
Now it is only optical fiber, and after a while it will be 3G, hundreds of billions of dollars or more losses, William White's brain is not pumped, and he will definitely not be so unwise.
The World Trade Center collapsed, and the people of Yingjiang felt the fear.But when it comes to how to lose confidence, there is really no such thing. The revenge of the United States is very fast. I believe that it will not be long before the wanted guy will be arrested soon.
How the war unfolds, most people just watch the excitement.Anyway, you can't lose, it's nothing more than an exchange ratio.
But it's different now, the stock market is constantly falling, and it really lets the American people know what tragedy is.
The impact of a collapse like Enron's is enormous.Due to the existence of the 401 plan, to a large extent, as long as you are an American, as long as you pay social security, this loss is inevitable.
As far as the feelings of ordinary people are concerned, the recent period of panic is even stronger than 911. The core location of 911 is New York. If it is not for the locals, it is enough to be sad and angry. After all, life must go on.
But this Global Telecom is different from Enron. If there is a problem with these two products, will our pension be reduced?
The answer is obviously yes. Among them, the most tragic ones are undoubtedly the regular employees of Enron.
401 plan, this kind of enterprise annuity, the autonomy of the enterprise is actually very large.Take Enron as an example, most of them are Enron's stocks or bonds.
Well, now that there is a thunderstorm in Enron, your life after retirement must be dark.
Enron, Universal, WorldCom, once these companies go bankrupt, the biggest victims are those employees.
It would be great if it could be avoided a little bit.If this met two emotional ones, they might be beaten badly.
Looking at the lackluster Dow, Greenspan felt like crying.I have done everything I can, and the current banknotes are not tight and liquid, and even have a tendency to flood, but ah, these money are not willing to enter the stock market no matter what.
This kind of phenomenon is rare. It should be said that the economy of the United States has ups and downs, but you can look at it from a long-term perspective.Stock market earnings are still good.
"Alan, it's not about money at all now, investors don't have confidence, they can't be sure how many companies are cheating.
I said, if there is no one to explain this matter.The United States will encounter systemic risks.Now I understand somewhat why William White was so entangled. "
Greenspan was speechless, this kind of super pit, even if you can see it, so what.Buffett did not vote because of Mao, and William White did not vote because of Mao. If you say that it is all a coincidence, hey, only say it if someone believes you, otherwise it will be bullshit.
Buffett smiled wryly. He vaguely remembered that William White had clearly said, don’t worry, I won’t contribute to the flames, and even asked to reduce the length of the article.
When he first heard this, he didn't take it seriously.In his view, you, William White, are recharging your energy, or sharpening your sword.When you see someone showing a flaw, it is inevitable to pounce and bite.
"Damn everything. This time, I don't know when I will be able to recover."
Greenspan was very miserable13, and he tried everything he could think of. If there is no improvement, the interest rate may return to zero.At that time, the United States will be completely shameless.
In fact, if inflation is removed, interest rates are now at zero.If there is still no consumer demand under such circumstances, it will be completely over, and the stock price will fall to any price.
Some setbacks on the battlefield are actually nothing to worry about.Eagle Sauce's luxurious combat mode, even if you can't kill your opponent, it's hard to get hurt by your opponent.What I want to say here is that as long as the economy has no problems, in a sense, a war within a certain scale is good for the economy.
"Let's get through the crisis first. But how can I have a hunch that William White seems to be right again?"
You guessed it right, William White is suffering 13 to death now.He didn't want to renege on his previous promise and lose weight.
But, take the initiative to give up leverage.It really hurt him a little.
Only by shorting can you make money, otherwise you will lose money. The more you buy, the more you will lose.He is actually not worried about the current adjustment, what he is worried about is Greenspan's attitude.
After the subprime mortgage crisis, isn't that what America did?Export inflation to the whole world, unless any of you can get rid of the dollar, otherwise, this kind of exploitation is inevitable.
"Boss, there are signs of big money getting involved in the euro, let's keep the status quo, or?"
"So fast? Don't wait, speed up the speed of building positions. Huh, this chicken is dead, and now it seems that the euro is the most likely to replace the US dollar.
In any case, there is nothing wrong with opening a position now. "
"Okay, Boss, I guess no one will talk about it now. They don't have any expressions other than envy and hatred."
"Replacement is impossible. Look at the current oil, and then think about London's attitude. Now I can only say that the Americans made a foolish move, while Europe, they picked up a ticket.
They have taken away some pricing qualifications, but they have no oil in their hands, and all their plans will be in vain.
There is just one thing, after this time, if the United States can continue to cheat like this, the decline of Wall Street is just around the corner. "
This is not just a random nonsense of William White. It is not unheard of that he caught a bunch of king bombs and was finally overturned.You must know that the original financial center was in Amsterdam, and after the tulip miracle, this financial center was slowly transferred to London.
In other words, John Bull won the battle, otherwise, it would not have gone so smoothly.
Well, the Dutch can lose, John Bull can lose, why can't you in the United States.It's not that William White is worrying unfoundedly. Once the United States loses its status as a financial center, it will be an all-round disaster to greet him.
After the Civil War ended, the boss of the Southern Army said that we did not lose to the army, nor did we lose to courage. In fact, we lost to the financial market on Wall Street.
Of course, this sentence is somewhat debatable. First of all, there are problems with your system. Such a ridiculous policy of slaves will be deposed sooner or later.
