Global monopoly of technology

Bluestar Technology, Executive Vice President Office.

"Okay, Mr. Luo, I understand, um." Zhang Bowen ended the call, put the landline phone back, and leaned back on the boss chair with emotion.

Yesterday, Bluestar Technology disclosed the news of the issuance of US$8.5 billion in corporate bonds, which caused a huge sensation in the industry. The media was not unexpectedly bombarded, and it also spurred the influx of financial capital on Wall Street.

Zhang Bowen’s call was with Luo Sheng, and Lao Zhang learned that someone from Goldman Sachs directly called his immediate boss yesterday, and he quickly negotiated a debt cooperation.

Although the Goldman Sachs Group is notorious, it is undeniable that as long as you are sufficiently hard, brave and confident, cooperating with such a capital crocodile is very powerful, and there are many benefits. If you do not have enough steel, you will definitely There is no bone residue left by Goldman Sachs.

"Mr. Zhang, how's it going?"

In the office, Zhang's assistant asked curiously.

Zhang Bowen nodded and said: "Two hours ago, Mr. Luo negotiated with the people of Goldman Sachs about a US$3.845 billion corporate bond, and the Goldman Sachs family has eaten it."

Lao Zhang’s assistant was shocked and said: “It’s really 3.845 billion US dollars instead of RMB? Didn’t Goldman Sachs cry poor and bankrupt in the middle of the second quarter, calling the North American authorities for help? Why is there so much spare money suddenly?”

Hearing this, Zhang Bowen grinned and said faintly: "Do you think that the subprime mortgage crisis is breaking out, Wall Street is like a big enemy, and those big investment banks are hard to protect themselves? If you think so, it would be wrong, not only Goldman Sachs now If you are rich, other capital consortia are rich. The world is chaotic, and the really rich are crying poor, and the companies that are really poor all pretend that their funds are fine and they have already taken out loans, but they don’t really want to swell their faces. Fill the fat man, but you will lose customers when you burst out of a financial crisis, which is even more vicious..."

The North American authorities definitely hope that these big banks and investment banks will actively rescue the market. These banks really want to get a lot of money, but they are very wary of the North American authorities. Henry Paulson called the heads of the major bankers on Wall Street. Meeting, asking everyone to pay to rescue the market.

These big capitalists have always felt that they are very vigilant, especially when they are extremely resistant to the North American authorities’ intention to interfere with their operations. The authorities’ intervention in commercial operations is very serious in North America, and the North American authorities have nothing to do. It is not possible to ask an enterprise to go bankrupt in the name of administration, because this is against the constitution of the United States.

This time when Bluestar Technology Group issued bonds, Wall Street suddenly had spare money. Instead of using it to rescue the market, it bought Bluestar Technology Group’s corporate bonds. This made the North American authorities and many companies that were unable to borrow money very upset. There is no alternative, because you cannot intervene, and there is no explanation. The explanation is free market behavior.

This time, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have "spare money". Only these two Wall Street financial giants have won 70%, and the remaining public funds and private fund accounts have completed the subscription.

The 8.5 billion US dollars of corporate bonds were quickly robbed, and the financial institutions in the first echelon were all taken, and the next echelon could not get it. As for the retail investors who want to sell this 3A bond Can wash and sleep, everything in my dreams.

For outsiders, this is no different from sending money. It is like giving you 10 billion U.S. dollars. After five years, you will repay me about 15 billion U.S. dollars in principal and interest, and you will still make a steady profit.

There is almost zero risk, but the returns explode. In the current economic environment, Bluestar Technology Group has no negative equity and has a cash reserve of tens of billions of dollars.

As a conglomerate, this is very amazing. There is no need to worry about the repayment ability of Bluestar Technology. This 3A corporate bond and those mortgage bonds are a world-wide gap.

However, the issue of bonds issued by Bluestar Technology has been aroused in the industry and the media, and there have also been discussions on the Internet.

"This winter is colder than expected. Even a company as rich as Bluestar Technology is issuing debt and borrowing money."

"It is estimated that there is a problem with the capital chain of Bluestar Technology. Maybe many businesses are accounts receivable. In the current economic environment, a large number of companies are closing down one after another."

"What do the old buddies upstairs think? It's too simple. If it is really a problem with the capital chain, it should be a public offering. Another thing is that Bluestar Technology still has more than 10 billion US dollars. The cash on the books? So there must be other reasons for borrowing money, but it is definitely not the reason for the problem of the capital chain. The show operations of these big groups are more than one show. Don't think too simple."

"amount……"

"If you don't understand the operations of these big companies, you can borrow so much money if you have money, and the high interest rates will scare you to death."

"The 8.5 billion US dollars, all issued overseas, Luo Ge is not authentic. It is estimated that the financial institutions in the Mainland are jealous, and even swearing behind their backs. This still prevents their own people from making money, and has to give it to Wall Street."

"What should I do? People want U.S. dollars. There is no shortage of renminbi. They can only be circulated in the country. Foreigners don’t recognize it. If you have U.S. dollars, you must borrow it from you. It’s a bit wrong to deduct this pot from Mr. Luo. According to the information disclosed in the last quarter, in terms of asset allocation of Bluestar Technology Group, there are about 20 billion yuan in cash. This money can only be spent domestically. Bluestar Technology’s business overseas is the focus, and a large amount of Franklin is required. Trading."

"Oh, the evil dollar hegemony!"

"Bluestar technology's 3A-level bonds, don't think about retail investors or anything, just take a look, and just vent them by cursing and venting. According to news reports, it is said that the majority of investment shareholders during the startup of Bluestar Technology are digested. If it’s dropped, it’s basically Wall Street. Large domestic institutions may not be able to subscribe.

...

In fact, some of them were subscribed in China. Luo Sheng still made some money for some domestic financial institutions. In fact, he didn't need it at all, but he still gave some, but the amount is limited. Among the US$8.5 billion corporate bonds, there is less US$800 million was issued domestically, which means about RMB 5 billion in bonds.

In fact, it really doesn't make much sense. It is also lying in the company's safe when borrowed. The current renminbi of the Bluestar Technology Group is completely sufficient, and more than 20 billion yuan is more than enough to satisfy the development of the mainland.

The reason why this time issuance of bonds to the mainland has to give a little bit. This is a matter of humanity and sophistication. If you have money, you can make money together. It is better to make less money. It is better than not to make a penny. At least it will sell people's face and have more friends. , If there are few enemies, the Bluestar Technology Group's road is easy.

The truth is that the more people get together when the wealth is scattered, Luo Sheng still understands this truth.

...

The time came to August 2008. Bluestar Technology Group’s financial statements for the second quarter of this year were released a week later than usual.

Total revenue for the quarter was US$4.77 billion, business revenue fell sharply again, and net profit was negative again, resulting in a loss of US$1.281 billion.

If Bluestar Technology conducts revenue and expenditure reduction during the current economic winter, profits can still be guaranteed, but not.

Other companies went bankrupt, layoffs, and layoffs. The recruitment information of Bluestar Technology Group has always been linked to the human resources market. Up to now, it has continued to expand its recruitment. At present, it has recruited a lot of outstanding talents. Many talented people are unemployed because of the bankruptcy of their original company.

It is a good time to harvest talents. The company is really short of talents, especially outstanding talents, whether it is a technical post or a management post.

A new project cross-platform chat application WhatAPP was established before.

Once the audited financial report for the second quarter was disclosed, the shares of Bluestar Technology Group fell in response. Of course, the stock market has been declining in the current situation, so it is not surprising, but the decline has accelerated after the disclosure of the financial report.

The total market value of Bluestar Technology in after-hours trading fell to 127.9 billion U.S. dollars, and its market value also fell from the second place in the world's top ten listed IT companies to third place.

Cisco's market value rose against the trend during this period of time, reaching 140 billion US dollars, and Cisco's competitor was also eye-catching at this time.

But Microsoft is also plummeting. Although it still firmly rules the No. 1 IT listed company, its market value has fallen to 249.3 billion US dollars.

Google, hailed as one of the "Gemini" of IT rookies by Silicon Valley, ranks behind Bluestar Technology Group, which is also one of the "Gemini", with a current market value of US$126.2 billion, and the two companies are currently falling equally. .

What's interesting is that the market value of Bluestar Technology Group has plummeted. Luo Sheng and his core management team are very happy, but there is a strange neurotic group who is happier than them.

That is part of the "known" and "big V" groups. Seeing that this situation has begun to publicize that the Bluestar Technology Group is not working, its revenue has plummeted, debt issuance issuance, and hidden dangers in the capital chain have appeared, but it is just a flash in the pan.

These people are a neurotic group with distorted personality who "will be popular in every west, and must step on every Chinese". What is ridiculous is that the platform on which they speak is the social platform of Bluestar Technology Group. They enjoy the voice provided by Bluestar Technology in the last web2.0 era. window.

However, the company’s management team did not block these “publicly known” and “big V”s. For one thing, they disdain it, which is really low price; secondly, this neurotic group has a little use value. After all, they jumped out to show their ugliness. It's a bit useful for the activity of the platform; wouldn't it make them more upright after the third party blocked them?Maybe the fake will come true.

This is an inevitable product of the times. Luo Sheng can't stop the birth of this kind of neurotic group. With these "common knowledge", "big V", and "cents", the same network has also given birth to "***". It is a group with sturdy combat effectiveness, and it is also a group that inevitably arises at the historic moment.

Under the hustle and bustle of the Internet, the time came to September 15, 2008. On this day, a major event occurred on Wall Street that shocked the world. The fourth largest investment bank in North America, Lehman Brothers, was in a serious financial crisis and had to announce its application. Bankruptcy protection.

The panic index of the entire market exploded in an instant, and the financial crisis triggered by the North American subprime mortgage bonds entered a more serious turning point with the crash of Lehman Brothers, which triggered a vicious chain reaction.

A more serious financial crisis has come and it has begun to spread wildly around the world.

For others, the next moment is a moment of fear, but for Luo Sheng, the next moment is a moment of greed.
