Global monopoly of technology

As Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, the financial tsunami triggered by the United States began to sweep the world, and now the headlines around the world are four words-the financial crisis.

Or the other major news is the news of various successive interest rate cuts and rescue operations by the major seedling banks.

For a while, the whole world was overshadowed by the financial tsunami that swept across North America. Almost everyone at this time inevitably showed the tragic picture of the Great Depression in the 1930s.

...

At the end of September, the Science and Technology Complex.

At this moment, Luo Sheng and An Qingxue are playing a simulated offensive and defensive battle game. This game requires two people to play.

Luo Sheng led countless elite soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the opponent's city gate again and again, and his aura was like a rainbow, even if he fought until dawn, he vowed not to stop without breaking the city.

But at this moment, Luo Sheng was very upset when a phone call came over at night. Why has the phone been kept constantly?

An annoying stroke.

Luo Sheng picked up the phone and wanted to hang up directly, but when he saw the caller ID, he had to stop temporarily.

"Shh~"

Luo Sheng made a silent gesture, and then connected the phone.

The person who called was Zhang Bowen. Zhang had already arrived in the United States three days ago. To initiate the stock repurchase process for Bluestar Technology Group, an important person must be in the United States to avoid the impact of jet lag. .

After all, the current situation is an hour's time difference, and huge changes may occur.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Bowen's voice changed into Luo Sheng's ears.

"Mr. Luo, is the telephone communication reliable?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Sheng motioned to An Qingxue to help him bring a laptop, but for a moment, Luo Sheng manipulated it for a while, and then replied: "I have encrypted the communication channel, it is safe and reliable, what's the matter? Say it."

Zhang Bowen seemed to hear from these words that most of his immediate superiors were dealing with important matters, so he directly picked the key points and reported:

"I just received reliable news here. The US House of Representatives rejected the 700 billion US dollar rescue plan, which caused the U.S. stock market to plummet. The Dow Jones Index vented 777 points, the largest drop in history, with a single-day drop of as much as 7%. The biggest decline since the global stock market crash, and the current market confidence is extremely fragile. Any turmoil is a scene of turmoil. The three major stock indexes continue to sink to the bottom..."

Just a few days after Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, the North American authorities submitted a bill to save the financial system to Congress. The Treasury Department will be authorized to purchase up to 700 billion U.S. dollars in non-performing mortgage assets.

Americans hope to solve all the problems within two years or so to achieve economic recovery. They also hope to solve this problem before it affects a large area or even fully impact the real economy, so as to avoid problems like those in the 1930s. The tragedy of the Great Depression.

And just last week, the finance ministers of the G7 Group of Seven countries held telephone consultations with the presidents of the major seedling banks. As a result, other members of the G7 refused to participate in the US financial rescue plan.

Subsequently, the nation's largest savings and loan bank was seized and taken over by the North American Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, becoming the largest bank in the history of the nation to fail.After that, Zhang Bowen just said that the House of Representatives of the United States rejected the 700 billion rescue plan.

After thinking about it for a moment, Luo Sheng replied decisively: “Don’t wait any longer, this is the last good opportunity, this 700 billion US dollars... I guess Lao Mei will still open the gates and immediately announce the repurchase plan. 115 100 million U.S. dollars to complete all transactions within the last three days, it is best to do it in one day."

Zhang Bowen: "Understand."

The US House of Representatives has just rejected this rescue plan, but Luo Sheng knows that this plan will be passed in the end. There is no way, it must be rescued. If it deteriorates into the Great Depression of the 1930s, the financial crisis will be more serious. , And swallow this bitter fruit with tears.

Once the communication was over, Luo Sheng threw his phone aside and continued to play the game.

Luo Sheng attracted countless elite soldiers to attack the city again, through the front line of natural dangers. This place is really a male gate, and the Tao is one of the gates and the world is not open. However, Luo Sheng, who has experienced many battles, is not afraid at all, and is single-handedly driven straight in Tiger lair.

After passing through the first line of natural danger, unexpectedly the other party set up an ambush here, using its terrain to adopt a water attack strategy, with the intention of catching turtles in an urn.

At that time, even after the monstrous flood was vented, Luo Sheng was attacked on both sides.

After all the battles and there were times when the car was overturned, Luo Sheng was careless. In the end, hundreds of millions of soldiers were overwhelmed by the army, knowing the ruler and swimming, and drowning.

Luo Sheng regenerates his energy, intends to regroup, fight again, and fight against it.

Failure is not terrible, but giving up is shameful.

...

It is said that the Eastern Hemisphere is now at night, while the Western Hemisphere is upright during the day. Zhang Bowen is in New York at this moment. After finishing the telephone communication with Luo Sheng, he is not idle. The repurchase funds have already been distributed to multiple accounts. With a word of him, the transaction can begin immediately.

Half an hour later, under the leadership of Zhang Bowen, he held a temporary press conference on behalf of Bluestar Technology Group in Manhattan, New York, and officially announced that the company would spend $11.5 billion to initiate the repurchase process.

At the same time he announced the news, funds from dozens of trading accounts began to pour into the stock market, harvesting "BTC" stocks.

Once the news was released, the trading code "BTC" immediately rebounded, and the stocks that had been falling sharply suddenly rose against the trend.

Many people who received the news made the first move with the intention of making a fortune.

When the stock sells, the stock price will fall; otherwise, it will rise. This is the basic law of the market.

But this is a test of the trader's ability. For speculators who make quick money, blood profit and blood loss may only determine the result in minutes.

This is the first time Bluestar Technology Group has repurchased shares since its listing, and it is a large-scale repurchase. A huge amount of US$11.5 billion has been invested in the stock market. The North American authorities are happy to see this happen. It's pleasing to the eye, especially when I took seven or eight billion dollars from the stingy bankers on Wall Street some time ago.

But suddenly at this time, Lao Mei felt that Luo Sheng still looked so pleasing to the eye.

Although the amount of funds of more than 10 billion yuan does not play a decisive role in the financial system that is currently experiencing major problems, it certainly does.

In fact, other funds have also been introduced.

Without him, many people can't understand Luo Sheng's operations. This time he actually went against the trend, and he didn't understand the outside world as well. It made people feel like acting like a car with a man's arm, but he couldn't hold him from laughing again and again. To the end.

The 11.5 billion US dollars went in. Bluestar Technology Group successfully repurchased 9.67% of the stock, about 150 million shares. The repurchased shares were not cancelled, but remained as the company’s "treasury stocks". At the same time, Zhang Bowen published in the media It was also disclosed at the meeting that this part of the repurchased stocks will be used to include not only the company's employee benefits and incentive plans, or for emergency use.

It's just an external response. The board of directors has the final say on what to do, and the board of directors Luo Sheng has the final say.

In the after-hours trading price of the day, Bluestar Technology Group's "BTC" stock rose from $68 to $81.82 per share, and its market value was pushed up to $118.6 billion.

At its peak, it rushed to $83.55 per share.

Obviously, some people have made a lot of money in stocks during this period of time. Some people must have lost money. The market cannot make money. If they make money, they must lose money.

However, it doesn't matter to Bluestar Technology Group. No matter how turbulent the financial market or return to normal, after Bluestar Technology completes the repurchase plan, the next thing to do is to develop steadily.

As for the disturbance here, there is no need to mix it up, and there is no need to pay too much attention.

...

Wall Street, an informal meeting within the Goldman Sachs Group.

In a European-style room, Goldman Sachs then head Lloyd Blankfein, group president Gary Cohen, and co-chief operating officer Jon Winkred gathered here.

"There are no parameters to analyze and no mathematical model to refer to, but this is what is happening. He spent $11.5 billion to repurchase stocks, and Goldman Sachs followed up with 26 million shares." Jon Winkred Shrugged after speaking.

Right now, what they are talking about is about Luo Sheng and the Bluestar Technology Group's repurchase event.

This can be regarded as a big event-driven effect in the international financial market.

Winkleid added with emotion: "This young Chinese IT giant is really unique. The best analysts on Wall Street can't figure out him. A series of actions are so abnormal. No matter how you analyze and research, No amount of data collected can find out what he is really thinking in his mind, but without exception, he has won. This is the most magical place."

It is precisely because Luo Sheng is unable to see through and he is always the winner, Goldman Sachs also followed the "risk" this time and smashed 2 billion US dollars into it. For this Wall Street capital predator group in the industry, it is an internal think tank. The team lineup is extremely strong, but this investment to follow up Luo Sheng seems a bit blind. It really followed Luo Sheng's style in a hurry.

No way, Luo Sheng's previous record is too sturdy, and the rewards are even more eye-catching. This time he played such a big game, Goldman Sachs was afraid that he would lose, but he was even more afraid that he would miss the opportunity and be annoyed.

In fact, it is not just Goldman Sachs at the moment, most institutions on Wall Street are studying Bluestar Technology Group. This round of repurchase plan gives people the most obvious intuitive information, which is that Luo Sheng firmly believes that his company will definitely be able to return to the peak in the future and even create greater The brilliance.

This is easy to understand. Otherwise, why would he spend more than $10 billion to buy back the company's stock?A move to revive the confidence of the market and investors?

Stop teasing, fools will believe this.

You can spend other people's money at will, but spending your own money is different, not to mention that Luo Sheng not only spends his own money, but there is still a large amount of money to borrow, so there must be other reasons in it.

In the eyes of Wall Street, Luo Sheng is a savvy person who is not far from them. There must be a profit in this.

"What I am more interested in is, where did the money he once cashed out?" the head of Goldman Sachs suddenly said.

"Our people have been investigating, trying to find out the specific whereabouts of his funds, but they haven't figured it out so far..." Cohen said helplessly. There are many ways for a super-rich to deliberately hide his legal wealth. And it is very difficult to find out the specific circulation, because most of the rich will do it.

And there are some things you can get even if you know how to do it, but no one dares to touch it, because touching it means touching the vested interests of countless people. Who hasn’t done anything bad these years, or big or bad? It's only small, and it's really pressing. When the time comes, everyone will hurt each other and expose each other's bottoms. This is a very scary thing.

So everyone has reached a tacit consensus about some things. Whoever touches it will definitely die first.

No one wants to be a martyr, this is the inevitable result of human selfishness.

"It's not nothing. We still found that he had a low-key visit to New York last year. Our investigation found that he had contact with several major hedge funds, but we can't know what he did. Those hedge funds also refused to tell us. More information will be revealed." Cohen added.

As soon as this remark came out, Lloyd Blankfinn became very interested, and asked concisely: "Which fund?"

Cohen immediately said: "It is the Paulson hedge fund that has made a lot of money in the subprime mortgage crisis, and there are more than a dozen other investment funds."

When Luo Sheng first came to New York, although he only gave the money to two funds, he actually met with more than a dozen investment funds during his ten-day trip to the United States. This is not just idle pain, but cautious.

Everyone looked at each other. Cohn's answer moved the head of Goldman Sachs, while Jon Winkred was surprised: "God, don't tell me he even predicted this? I don't believe me! I absolutely don’t believe it! I don’t believe it if I kill it! Only God can do this! And we are all mortals!"
