Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 462 Stealing Chickens and Losing Rice

Today’s world news is the news of the sudden explosion in the US stock market, and the front page headlines are full of reports.

When people all over the world woke up and saw today's latest hot news, they were all in a dumbfounded state. It felt as if the world had changed dramatically when they woke up. Why did a stock market crash in North America?

The sharp drop in the market value of Bluestar Technology has become a hot topic today, and everyone is talking about it.

...

Washington, Office of the President.

A middle-aged man in formal attire was in the office and asked the then president: "Mr. President, are the sanctions against Bluestar Technology Group announced on time?"

This highly targeted sanctions list is more than 30 pages thick, but it is not forcing Bluestar Technology to transfer its North American assets to completely withdraw from the North American market, nor is it to dismember Bluestar Technology, because it is really difficult, at least It is very difficult now.

Therefore, the North American authorities first cut off Bluestar Technology’s business in North America. Take the cloud computing services on the list as an example. As long as the sanctions are issued, North American companies will be forced to interrupt business cooperation with Bluestar Technology. , Especially for supplier partners like IBM, the reason is of course the universal national security.

By that time, these companies had to comply even if they were unwilling.

At the same time, the authorities have also prepared another meal for super giant Internet multinational groups such as Bluestar Technology, which is to draft a 7% digital tax draft for the advertising services of international Internet giants such as Bluestar Technology in North America. To collect taxes.

President Austrian vetoed without hesitation: "Stop it."

"Good Mr. President."

At this time, there is a major disaster in technology stocks. It is not too stupid to issue the sanctions at this time. Doesn't it mean realizing that the stock market disaster was planned by Wall Street and North American authorities?

Then the rhythm of the explosion in place?

It's just that no one knows that they accidentally overturned the car, but the outside world thinks otherwise.

President Ao doesn't want to make any new worms at this juncture and bring more uncertain variables to his re-election campaign.

But this method is temporarily unavailable, and you have to find some new things, otherwise how to canvass votes.

As a result, the strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific has once again been put on the agenda.

After all, if you say that the Chinese are not good, you can get more popularity.

...

Bluestar Technology Headquarters.

At this moment, Zhang Bowen was in Luo Sheng's office, and Lao Zhang talked about recent events with an expression full of incomprehension.

"I really don't understand Lao Mei's operation. Since they want to sanction our group company, their parliament was so powerful a few days ago. This should be just a starting point. The ultimate move has not been released, why the stock market exploded? "

Under normal circumstances, this may affect the fluctuations in the market value of Bluestar Technology, but it will not vent as the stock price is like a big collapse. This situation should be the introduction of substantive sanctions to make the market react.

If the steps are wrong, the problem will happen.

Luo Sheng shrugged: "Who knows, maybe a ghost has appeared inside Wall Street, and he is full of food, regardless of the flood outside."

Old Zhang, who didn't know the truth, nodded silently: "There is also a possibility, and the possibility is not small. The selfishness of human nature can withstand the test, but it cannot withstand the temptation."

Suddenly, Zhang Bowen said happily: "In that case, it has helped us a lot. I can boldly predict that the North American sanctions will be postponed. At least this year, it will definitely not be promulgated. It will not be executed until the wind has subsided."

Luo Sheng couldn't help but nodded, obviously agreeing with Lao Zhang's analysis, and this is good news for Bluestar Technology.

"Then we will also adjust our response strategies accordingly. Anyway, when will the Lao Mei showdown, when will we start our own response procedures. However, starting from this quarter, we must consciously increase revenue and reduce expenditure. The company's business expansion cannot be said to be completely stagnant, but we also choose To be relatively conservative, we need more cash reserves because of future crises."

Zhang Bowen nodded and said: "Understood."

Lao Zhang didn't know what was happening. The real party was in front of him.

Lao Mei is now stealing chickens but not losing rice. Today is the third day since the market value of Bluestar Technology has exploded. Yesterday the North American authorities urgently used 193.2 billion US dollars to inject liquidity to stabilize the collapse.

This is actually the result of a compromise with Wall Street. Who made this unexpected event run into the election again and hit the bones.

Otherwise, the North American authorities will certainly not come out to rescue the market easily and let Wall Street make a big profit.

Luo Sheng asked: "How much cash does the group company currently have?"

"RMB 1.2 trillion, about US$178.2 billion." Zhang Bowen replied without hesitation, but for a moment, he looked at Luo Sheng and suddenly asked, "Mr. Luo, are you planning to start a round of stock repurchase plans?"

"Haha, who knows me, Zhang Bowen, too." Luo Sheng said with a smile, nodded and added: "Yes, although Lao Mei has come out to support the market, it is more about pulling other technology companies, Bluestar Technology The market value that has risen over the past year will basically be in vain. Wall Street’s short-selling willingness will not change. I predict that it should bottom out at around 500 billion US dollars. Regardless of whether it bottoms out or not, start the repurchase after falling to this level. plan."

Zhang Bowen asked directly: "How much to buy back?"

Luo Sheng estimated it and replied: "About 10%. After the repurchase, it will still be used as a'treasury stock'. We cannot spend too much money to go out. It is almost 50 or 60 billion U.S. dollars. We have to reserve sufficient cash reserves for future preparations. To prepare for the cold winter and give up illusions, Lao Mei’s sanctions may be late, but they will never be absent. The management had better not be lucky.

Zhang Bowen nodded: "Understand, I will deal with the arrangement as soon as possible."

Lao Zhang didn't stay in Luo Sheng's office for too long. After discussing these matters for a while, Luo Sheng also left the company shortly afterwards.

At this moment, domestic netizens who eat melon are also generally discussing it.

"Who can tell me what happened?"

"It is said that the negative remarks made by an old American senator triggered this stock market disaster."

"Really? Anyway, I don't believe it very much. Isn't this dude a man of the back? How could he have such a lot of energy?"

"For Nima, the market value of Bluestar Technology has been cut in half. I am silly at this number. Now it is only 830 billion US dollars. It has evaporated nearly 900 billion US dollars in two days. Don't tell me that it will fall."

"I feel that the whole incident seems inexplicable and very strange."

"This is definitely the biggest'black swan' event this year."

"According to Reuters reports, the three major North American stock indexes have been venting wildly. Even if the old and the United States opened the gates and injected nearly 200 billion US dollars of liquidity, they also lost 2.77 trillion US dollars in these two days. Before the liberation, the Quante Mo, which had risen since the 2008 financial crisis, fell back in the past two days. It is not stimulating...

"Fuck it, let alone the outbreak of an economic crisis? Didn't it mean that the economic diseases in the European and American world will reincarnate in a cycle of about ten years? It's only three years.

...

With the passage of time, the Western Hemisphere North America Eastern Time entered the third day of the Bluestar Technology Group's market value explosion. Nasdaq opened on time at 9:30, and the BTC stock still "lived up to expectations" and fell sharply at the opening.

In less than an hour, 35 billion U.S. dollars were evaporated, and the 800 billion U.S. dollar market value mark was lost. You must know that at the peak of the market value of Bluestar Technology, it once reached 1,678 billion U.S. dollars.

The market value was cut in three days, as if the aorta was punctured, the blood flow continued.

The liquidity injected by the United States has not flowed into BTC stocks, and Wall Street has not come out to support the market. It is impossible to do so. Even the Bluestar Technology Group itself has nearly 180 billion US dollars in cash reserves. Divide money out to stabilize the company's stock price.

In fact, everyone hopes that the BTC stock price will continue to fall, except for small and medium investors and retail investors in the market.

Today, the market has begun to point the finger of public opinion at the official Bluestar Technology Group, directed at Luo Sheng, accusing him of inaction, and the company’s market value plummeted. Up to now, the company has not responded, which has caused countless small and medium investors and investors. Shareholders suffered heavy losses and even bankrupted their fortunes.

This is actually the result of the North American authorities and Wall Street vigorously creating public opinion behind the scenes, and trying to put pressure on Bluestar Technology and Luo Sheng.

However, Luo Sheng remained indifferent. He only asked Zhang Bowen to accept an exclusive telephone interview with CNN TV in North America late this night, revealing to the outside world that the company is urgently discussing a response mechanism, as to how to respond and when to implement it.

Didn’t this mean that we are urgently researching and discussing?

It just fell below the 800 billion U.S. dollar mark. Don't worry, it will fall for a while.
