Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter two hundred and thirty nine dark tides

…

After nodding clearly, Stephen Bryan kicked angrily, "Damn Citi, Goldman Sachs will never cooperate with them again!"

John Schwarzman shrugged, Kwon Dang didn't hear that. Because he knows very well that when the benefits come, the capitalists are willing to cooperate with the devil!

…

After having breakfast and walking around the nearby park with Molly Bevin, Guo Shouyun drove to the Bevin Manor in the suburbs. Although they were worried that formaldehyde would be bad for Molly Bevan and the child in her belly because they had just been renovated, they did not move in. But Guo Shouyun, who needed a study to work, came here every day.

Just as he walked into the hall of the villa, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. After taking a look at the caller ID, I pressed the answer button!

"Hey, Larry, it's supposed to be midnight in San Francisco right now?"

San Francisco and the United Kingdom are separated by the Atlantic Ocean and the Americas, six hours apart from each other. When it was eight in the morning in England, it was twelve in the evening in San Francisco.

"Bruce, time doesn't matter. The important thing is that we just received a notice from Yahoo, they officially announced the termination of cooperation with us, and Google's search bar will not appear on Yahoo's homepage in the future!" Larry Page quickly road.

"Termination? Larry, we spent the money and signed the contract. In less than three years, Yahoo will pay us $150 million in liquidated damages!"

When he signed the contract with Yahoo, Guo Shouyun dug a hole. He took advantage of Yahoo's eagerness to seek revenue growth under the Nasdaq crisis to avoid the continuous decline of its stock price, and signed a three-year contract with Yahoo at a cost of 2 million per year. Moreover, the contract liquidated damages are deliberately set as contract liquidated damages rather than statutory liquidated damages.

From Yahoo's standpoint, how could such a thing of increasing its own income possibly default? Therefore, when Guo Shouyun signed a contract on behalf of Google and proposed a $150 million liquidated damages, they privately laughed at this guy who had just walked out of college as a young businessman, ridiculously stupid!

Even Larry Page and Sergey Brin were against it, and Guo Shouyun took a lot of work to convince them.

As a result, after just one year, it turned out to be "who is stupid who knows"!

Terry Semel, who replaced Tim Kugel as Yahoo's CEO, has been trying to end the Yahoo-Google partnership. In its view, this cooperation is more beneficial to Google. They only spent a few million dollars to develop themselves into the world's largest search site through Yahoo's global influence. The deal was too much for Yahoo. Especially after his planned acquisition of Google was rejected by Guo Shouyun, the voice of ending the cooperation occupied the mainstream of Yahoo.

However, the $150 million liquidated damages became the final hurdle. In the context of the Nasdaq crisis, Yahoo's operating environment is not good. If it loses another 150 million US dollars, the pressure from Wall Street investors is enough to make Terry Semel a Yahoo past tense. Therefore, the situation has been stalemate.

"Bruce, the liquidated damages have been credited to the company's account!"

Guo Shouyun frowned, "What happened in the middle?"

"The specifics are unclear, but from what we have heard, Yahoo and Citibank have been talking about a financing. Now, there should be a result!"

"Citi!" After a pause, "since it's a foregone conclusion, don't worry about it. With $150 million, we don't need to refinance the next stage of our development. Also... Larry, it's time to make a big move. !"

"You mean 'bid advertisement'?" Larry Page's eyes lit up.

"Of course! In the past, we did not come up with a profit model to develop ourselves with the help of Yahoo's platform. Now this purpose has been achieved. There is no need to continue to cover up. Besides, the time is almost up. ... What? Are you planning to wait any longer? ?"

"No, on the contrary, I can't wait to make Google even greater!" Larry Page said in a cheery tone.

"Then go ahead, I believe that the glory that belongs to Google will soon be born in our hands!" Guo Shouyun said with confidence.

"Yeah!" After hesitating for a while, Larry Page continued: "Bruce, have you read domestic newspapers and news websites?"

"You know, I'm in the UK now, and there's a time difference between here and the US!"

"Okay. I think you should take a look, now it's full of bad news for you!"

"It's all my bad news?"

"Yes! The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, etc., and even the Hollywood Chronicle, a third-rate tabloid that records Hollywood star tidbits, put your news on the front page. !"

Hearing this, Guo Shouyun's expression became serious.

"Larry, thanks for the reminder, I'll check it out online right now!"

"Okay....Bruce, we are partners and best friends, please let me know if you need me!"

"Don't worry, Larry! You know, I always have a solution!" Guo Shouyun laughed.

"Hehe, you are indeed an amazing guy. Well, it's very late. I have to go to the company tomorrow to announce your decision. Hang up first!"

"Good night, Larry!"

"Good night, no, good morning, Bruce!"

After putting down the phone, the smile on Guo Shouyun's face disappeared. Quickly turn on the computer on the desk next to you and type the link to The New York Times via Google, and soon its front page pops up.

"Apple, which has been losing money for a year, has a future?"

The article cited Apple's dismal revenue data and continuous decline in stock prices after the launch of the macg3 personal computer in the past year, and issued a bearish forecast for Apple. Moreover, at the end of the article, it is also clearly expressed how a huge mistake Guo Shouyun invested in Apple.

People who play with pens do have amazing expressive skills. If they were an unrelated ordinary person, I am afraid that the first time I saw this article, I would think that Apple would be finished.

After reading it carefully, Guo Shouyun, who frowned, switched to The Wall Street Journal! Its title, too, didn't leave Apple.

"$2.9 billion in debt, badly run Apple has no future!"

"Chicago Tribune": "Apple's board disappointed that Steve Jobs did not show his magic again."

Fortune Magazine: "Stupid Investing, Wrong Apple!"

"San Francisco Times": "Genius Bruce Kuo, unlucky to meet the declining Apple!"…

Almost all influential major newspapers in the United States put Apple's news on the front page, or the front page of the business version. And, in addition to the local media in San Francisco is a little more polite. Other media are mocking Guo Shouyun's investment in Apple as a foolish failure.

There is no doubt that the Enron family can never mobilize the power of most of the media in the country. Feeling the strong hostility through the computer screen, Guo Shouyun knew that Goldman Sachs and the others had taken action.

"With the shrewdness of Goldman Sachs and Morgan, it is impossible to take action at this time." Guo Shouyun frowned.

He anticipated the predicament he was facing now, so he had already made targeted preparations. However, Goldman Sachs launched their timing much earlier than he expected. After all, Pan Pacific Energy Group is now making a big deal of mergers and acquisitions in the same industry, and there is obviously no problem with funding.

Launching an offensive at this time and pulling down Apple's stock price is completely sending 'fat' into his mouth!

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it if I can't figure it out. I don't have the guts to eat the meat delivered to my mouth, then I'll be a sincere fool!"

Thinking of this, Guo Shouyun picked up the phone and called Qin Zhicheng.

"boss!"

"Well! ... Old Qin, you must have seen those media comments when you are in the United States?"

"Of course. It's overwhelming, and there is a crusade. Boss, you have offended a lot of people this time!" Qin Zhicheng laughed.

"A person who is too good will always make people jealous." Guo Shouyun said conceitedly, "Okay, the time for chatting is over. I have a task for you next!"

"Please tell the boss!"

After Guo Shouyun nodded ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ you keep an eye on Apple's stock price, and once it is close to $8, you will resolutely buy it! How much is needed!"

"clear!"

"By the way, is there still room for An Ran to be short now?"

"Yes. But in the current situation, we may be very expensive if we want to borrow Enron's stock!"

Guo Shouyun nodded clearly. Other financial institutions are not all fools. In the more than one month public opinion war between Enron and LinkedIn, the information disclosed by LinkedIn, although Enron did not admit it, vigorously refuted it, and even resorted to the law. But many things could not stand scrutiny, as long as careful investigation, you can find problems in Enron's operation. So, it's obviously more difficult to continue borrowing Enron stock the way it did before. Especially when Enron's stock price is in the process of a slow decline.

However, Guo Shouyun is willing to try no matter how difficult it is. As long as Enron is defeated and the greedy financial groups such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan, Citi, and Bank of America are divided by their interests, he will be able to resolve the crisis smoothly.

"Try it again. If the other party's asking price is not outrageous, you can sign the contract! As for the funds, I will let Wendy transfer it to you."

"clear!"

"Oh, yes. Give me an eye on Amazon's stock, and if it drops more than 5%, give me the power to buy it. Whether it's preferred or common stock, I want it all!"

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's stop here for the time being. If you have any questions, please call me in time."

After a simple goodbye, Guo Shouyun hung up the phone.

After thinking about it with the phone, Guo Shouyun found Jobs' number and dialed it.

"Hey!"

"Steve, there are all negative comments from Apple right now. But I feel like you're not in a hurry at all?" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.
