Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

Sears Tower not far from the Chicago Board of Trade.

Yasuda Kagami was drinking tea and watching the market as usual. Furong Bank suffered a devastating blow in the Japanese stock market crash ten years ago. After ten years of painstaking management, it has just made some progress.

As the president of the Chicago branch of Furong Bank, Yasuda Kaga was indispensable. He took advantage of the intricate connections in the Furong system to make several wonderful turnarounds in the Chicago futures market.

The Nasdaq index has been advancing rapidly. After breaking through 4800 points, it has now established a firm foothold at 4950 points. As long as he is willing, 5000 points are almost within reach...

"Your Excellency, President, there is a change in the Nasdaq futures market, and selling has become active..." Secretary Yumi Yasuda walked in with her slender waist twisted.

"It's just a dying struggle!" Yasuda Kaga took Yasuda Yumi into his arms and said disdainfully.

Yasuda Yumi did not struggle, but wrapped herself around like a snake. Starting from the imperial family, there has been a tradition of attacking young women of the same clan and clan...

"Kaga-kun! After the delivery of the Nasdaq futures, you should be transferred back to the Tokyo headquarters, right?" Yumi Yasuda said in a sullen voice.

"What? Don't you want to go back to Tokyo with me?" Yasuda Kaga said after squeezing Yasuda Yumi's buttocks hard.

"Isn't it inconvenient for us to go on a date after we go back? Why don't you leave me in Chicago? You can fly over to find me. Isn't the position of investment manager just now vacant?" Yasuda Yumi's hand is on Yasuda Kaga Continuous dissociation...

The entry of Qianhai Asset Management did not cause any waves. The book profit of Furong Bank has reached several billion. As long as nothing unexpected happens, Yasuda Kaga's long position will help him return to Tokyo and enter the Furong Group. core management.

But a few days later, Yasuda Kaga, an old devil, still smelled a hint of danger from the market. The short sellers seemed not to be eager to counterattack, but to take a long-term view to catch the big fish...

Yasuda Kaga couldn't understand, in the context of such a crazy bull market, could the short sellers still want to trap themselves in making a comeback?

After many twists and turns, Yasuda Kaga finally breathed a sigh of relief after finding out the account information of his opponents through the Chicago Board of Trade’s insider information. They were all inconspicuous second-rate investment companies. A few months ago, they were affiliated with many parties. The camp’s profit margin!

"Baga! These guys who lack foresight! Where did they go? They were in a hurry to close their positions and make a profit. No wonder the company is not big, and it can't make money no matter how crazy the bull market is!" Yasuda Kagami cursed disdainfully.

The skyrocketing trading volume of the Nasdaq futures 06 and 012 forward contracts has attracted the attention of various capitals. Wealth and wealth can be found in insurance!Is there anything in the world that can make money faster than being long on stock index futures during a bull market?

These second-rate investment companies that dare to go against the trend and short Nasdaq futures have unknowingly become "prey" in the mouths of Wall Street capital predators...

Under the "two-way rush" between the long and short parties, all related accounts of Zhiyuan Group easily completed the basic position building, broke it into parts, and sold a large number of Nasdaq futures 06 and 012 short contracts.

In this strange atmosphere, the trading volume of the Nasdaq futures 06-012 forward contract continued to surge. The Nasdaq index broke through the 5000-point integer mark. Investors cheered, and some experts began to predict when 6000 points will arrive...

2000 1 Month 25 Day.

The Federal Reserve announced another interest rate hike. After four consecutive interest rate hikes, the benchmark interest rate rose from 4.75% to 5.75%.

The capital market in the bubble period remains unmoved. This negative policy cannot dampen the enthusiasm of investors!

1 month 26 day.

Zhiyuan Group announced that it already holds 30% of the shares of the French Vivendi Group, triggering mandatory tender offer regulations and launching a tender offer to all Vivendi shareholders and ordinary investors!

On the same day, Zhiyuan Group, as a major shareholder of Cisco, issued an announcement: It will reduce its 1% stake in Cisco within one month for Vivendi Group's tender offer!

Cisco's stock price fell sharply in response, driving the entire Internet sector of Nasdaq to fall, with the Nasdaq falling below 4800 points.

Zhiyuan Group immediately announced Cisco's financial status in the name of Cisco's major shareholder, and issued a second announcement: "The major shareholder's reduction is due to strategic investment needs. Zhiyuan Group solemnly promises that regardless of the rise or fall of Cisco's stock price, it will Within this period, we will repurchase the reduced Cisco shares!”

How could the multi-party camp led by Seremban Bank let the cooked duck fly?Start to protect the market.

Two days later, Cisco's stock price was stabilized, and the Nasdaq index stubbornly returned to 5000 points.

2 month 1 day.

Qianhai Asset Management followed suit and announced that it had acquired 30% of the equity of Universal Music UK. It also violated the mandatory tender offer regulations of the London Stock Exchange and launched a tender offer to all shareholders of Universal Music.

The next day, the wealthy Qianhai Asset Management publicly launched an acquisition of Time Warner.

America Online, which has always had a friendly relationship with Time Warner, also joined in, and the biggest equity battle since the founding of the New York Stock Exchange began...

In order to raise enough funds to defeat AOL and obtain a controlling stake in Time Warner, Qianhai Asset Management announced that it would reduce its holdings in Sun and Palm, and it is determined to win Time Warner!

AOL is not willing to give up easily, and uses private placement to raise funds to accelerate the acquisition of Time Warner.

Steve Case knew very well that once Qianhai Asset Management became the majority shareholder of Time Warner, AOL would have nothing to do with it...

Although the merger negotiations between AOL and Time Warner have made very good progress, Time Warner is not stupid. There is a stronger Qianhai Media Group to cooperate with, so why should it commit to marrying AOL?

But when things got to this point, as the president of AOL, Steve Case had no choice. He could either complete the magical operation of snake swallowing the elephant, or watch Yahoo and Google leave him far behind...

Andy Bettlesheim, under the instruction of Yang Mo, publicly badmouthed AOL and began to sell the AOL stocks that Andy Investment had been holding.

The direction of the battle for Time Warner’s equity is beginning to become confusing...

Some related Japanese companies, which the Wall Street capital market has always called the Qianhai Group, have also begun to add fuel to the fire and applied to the China Securities Regulatory Commission to reduce their holdings of non-tradable shares.

The non-tradable shares held by these investment companies are basically less than 5%, which perfectly circumvents the US Securities Regulatory Commission’s regulations on the reduction of major shareholders’ holdings. There are many fewer obstacles in the process of reducing holdings...

It has to be said that the reduction of major shareholders’ holdings is more harmful to the secondary market than some negative policies. Small and medium-sized investors can ignore the government’s control to prevent stock market bubbles, but they dare not turn a blind eye to the reduction of major shareholders!

The Nasdaq index fell sharply again...
