Global monopoly of technology

This capital war is advancing to a feverish degree. This is a war in which no gunpowder can be seen. Even outsiders can see it with thrilling.

Technology complex building.

"Master, there is a major news from Professor Liu Jianwei's team. The email he sent you shows that the research team spent half a year in research and development, and successfully manufactured carbon fiber nanotubes with a length of 0.58 meters, breaking the world record."

Luo Sheng couldn't help but brighten up when he heard Xiaona's report, but he was relieved soon.

The fact that Liu Jianwei's team was able to make a breakthrough so quickly made him feel a little unexpected, but he had memories of past lives, and it made sense to think that after Liu Jianwei's team had solved the material problem of the space ladder cable.

This news proves that Krypton Gold can accelerate the speed of scientific research breakthroughs.

After Liu Jianwei's team joined Star Arrow International, there was no need to worry about funding or some social problems.

Star Arrow International will help solve it.

Even their life issues are arranged extremely thoughtfully. He and his research team can devote themselves to scientific research without any distractions.

It is also necessary to break through technical difficulties in advance.

"Return an email to him. Don't announce the results to the academic community for the time being." Luo Sheng immediately ordered. This is also good news. The announcement of such news will definitely make a sensation in the material science community. Bluestar Technology Group is also a star. One of Arrow International's major shareholders, no matter what the good news is, they all need to raise the BTC stock price.

Xiaona: "Understood, the email has been edited and sent."

At this moment, Luo Sheng's phone rang remembered, and he took it out to see that Yao Jianhong was calling.

"Mr. Luo, Wall Street has collectively forced debts from the Blue Coast. If the company's money pays off its debts, it may not be able to help Bluestar Technology. Otherwise, its own operations will be seriously affected, unless the layoffs are liquidated and the assets are realized."

In terms of importance, the Blue Coast company is larger than Bluestar Technology, because the former is mainly based on the bottom layer, and the latter is based on the upper layer applications.

But in terms of influence and profitability, Bluestar Technology wants to kill the Blue Coast, especially profit. The latter is a high-tech company with a higher technology content than Bluestar Technology, but it does not have much high profit.

We must know that last year's annual net profit of Bluestar Technology was four times that of the Côte d'Azur.

Because it’s crazy to spend money, the annual R&D budget alone is twice that of Bluestar Technology, close to 40 billion U.S. dollars, plus the high welfare expenditures for employees, etc. There are also some operators and supply chain partners’ applications. Receivables turnover problem.

Luo Sheng asked directly: "How much do you want to pay back?"

Yao Jianhong on the other end of the phone replied: "US$62.2 billion."

Luo Sheng didn't hesitate to say: "Since they have collected the debt, it is enough to pay the debt. As for the problems of Bluestar Technology, you don't have to worry about it. You can make sure that the giant sail on the Blue Coast does not produce moths."

Yao Jianhong hesitated for a moment and then stopped talking, finally nodded and replied: "Okay, I understand, I will deal with it now."

Luo Sheng did not explain anything, and directly ordered the execution. Although Yao Jianhong was worried, he commanded him from the other side's statement and strongly felt the confident attitude. Even if he did not explain anything, Yao Jianhong was inexplicably relieved. .

When the sky is falling, there is a super BOSS holding on to it, and it is useless to worry about it.

Yao Jianhong is more willing to believe in Luo Sheng's style. Although he frequently speaks surprisingly, he never said what he said and never did something uncertain. He was confident and decisive, calm and courageous at critical moments.

Soon after we ended the call with Yao Jianhong, another call came to Luo Sheng.

It was from Qin Weimu.

"The trustees of Shengfeng Capital's asset fund demanded to redeem their investment funds in Shengfeng Capital. The reason is that you are crazy and they don't want to be dragged down by you."

Hearing that, Luo Sheng smiled happily, ignored her second half of the sentence, and immediately asked: "What proportion is there, who is the main person?"

Qin Weimu replied: "Almost all are foreign capital, accounting for 28% of the total capital of Shengfeng, and the total amount of redemption of funds reached 206.1 billion yuan."

It is worth mentioning that 65% of the equity of Shengfeng Capital is foreign-funded, but the largest shareholder in it is held by the "Luo Sheng Family Fund".

Therefore, the largest shareholder of Shengfeng Capital is actually the "Luosheng Family Fund", followed by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office. Luo Sheng is the third largest shareholder on the surface, and the second is the foreign investment who believes in the "Luosheng Effect" by voting with his feet. These restrictions are urgent.

"That is to redeem US$32.8 billion..." Luo Sheng muttered to himself, but then replied to Qin Weimu in a moment: "The investment agreement has stipulated terms. Shengfeng Capital is trying to protect the interests of all investors from harm. , Has the right to freeze investment funds at a critical moment and tell them that if they don’t have any money, they have to go to court.

US$32.8 billion, such a huge astronomical figure, has already accounted for 60% of Shengfeng Capital’s cash reserves, and the cash flow can only be recovered by selling other venture capital assets.

This is impossible.

The biggest purpose of the establishment of Shengfeng Capital is for this. After all these years, the strategic layout of building the entire domestic semiconductor industry chain will not be a waste of money and all work in vain?

Fortunately, when investors entered the market, they had already plugged the loopholes for the possibility of today's crisis.

Luo Sheng is very confident that investors will definitely not go to court.

Who told them to blindly praise the "Luo Sheng effect" at first, and they didn't agree to freeze their assets.

There is only one situation where they can redeem the fund.

That is, Shengfeng Capital Investment Fund is liquidated and closed, and all assets are realized and distributed to the holders.

But the possibility of forced liquidation is almost non-existent, because Qin Weimu, who is in charge of Shengfeng Capital over the years, is constantly bringing profits, and investors actually see their assets continue to increase in value.

Although the fund cannot be redeemed directly according to the agreement, it can be obtained through fund transfer. Therefore, investors have not received a penny in these years but the assets are increasing. It is a fact that the investment in Shengfeng Capital is not an individual. The threshold is extremely high. All fund companies or VC institutions are not short of cash. They prefer to optimize the asset list for asset appreciation and release bright performance reports.

This time, investors suddenly asked to redeem the fund, the biggest reason was that they were feeling guilty.

Luo Sheng now feels like a lunatic lunatic who has lost his mind, and has pulled all the companies, funds and Wall Street battles he controls.

Investors are obviously not optimistic that Luo Sheng can fight the bears of Wall Street. They admit that Luo Sheng is a genius, but want to fight the entire Wall Street on their own?

Investors think this is basically a dead end, and they don't want to follow Luo Sheng to hell.

But this can't help them.

After Qin Weimu finished the call, he immediately drafted an email group and sent it to all the investors of Shengfeng Capital.

The content of the email is very concise. Some investors are now requesting to redeem the foundation to increase the risk index of Shengfeng Capital and damage the interests of all investors. Therefore, from the distribution of the email, all funds of investors in Shengfeng Capital will be frozen. When will the freeze be released, wait for Shengfeng Capital to go down from the high risk.

The subtext is that the freezing time can be extended indefinitely.

When investors who wanted to redeem the fund received this email, they realized that they were completely locked up, their mentality exploded, and they almost fainted on the spot. They could only rant in the office.

Investor: Why do you want to die and drag us down?

...

As time goes by, after entering October, this capital war without gunpowder has entered a full white-hot degree.

Wall Street's short funds are also clearly feeling the pressure. Up to now, all short funds have been shorting Bluestar Technology. The total book loss has reached 168.95 billion U.S. dollars. More than 85% of the short funds have been cleared and they are completely out of combat effectiveness. Up.

Among the short sellers, there are a large number of hedge funds, and hedge funds have risk exposure restrictions. A hedge fund's risk exposure is set at 5%, and once the red line is touched, they can only close their positions.

The market value of Bluestar Technology has not fallen below the $500 billion mark so far. It is evident how determined Zhang Bowen's heart is to protect the market.

The short-headed predators are also speeding up their heartbeats, but they are all adventurous gamblers. They know that they are under a lot of pressure, and they know that the pressure of Bluestar Technology and Zhang Bowen will be even greater at this moment.

Short institutions have suffered heavy losses, but Bluestar Technology has suffered relatively more losses. Now not only has its cash reserves been emptied, but it also owes Côte d'Azur, Shengfeng Capital, and Life Science Fund.

These brother companies and funds rushed to help with cash flow. They were not given out for free, but borrowed.

Whoever can hold the last breath will be able to laugh to the end, and all the losses can be earned back with all the profits, and it depends on who falls first.

...

On October 21, the new headquarters of Bluestar Technology Group Mobius Ring, the meeting room for the core executives.

More than a dozen core managers who attended the meeting heard the sound of the opening of the meeting door and followed their prestige. Only Luo Sheng entered the meeting. What surprised Lao Zhang and them was that he would bring an outsider in.

Even most senior executives of the company are not eligible to participate in meetings of this level.

This person is really Zhong Yuanhong.

After he came in, he sat and listened. The executives at the meeting looked at each other and didn't ask anything. Although they didn't know the reason, since Luo Sheng brought it in, he had his own reasoning in it.

Zhong Yuanhong did not sit at the conference table, but sat quietly as a guest as a guest. He entered the conference hall without saying a word.

Luo Sheng came to the chief seat and sat down and looked around at the people: "How is the battle?"

Zhang Bowen, who was sitting in the second-hand position, immediately replied: "Mr. Luo, there is no money."

Concise and concise.

It also shows the tragic extent of this capital war. As the richest technology group in the world, Bluestar Technology has no money, and it is obvious that there is no money here, including Shengfeng Capital and Azure Coast. The extra money will be used to support the frontline battle, otherwise it will have a crisis of breaking the capital chain, and then it will really be the rhythm of the whole blood collapse.

Luo Sheng said: "Why don't you have any money? Don't forget that the company has 40.8% of treasury stocks in your hands, and you will have money when you sell some."

Everyone was full of doubts when they heard it, and an executive at the meeting smiled bitterly: "Mr. Luo, you're not kidding, right? Treasury stock cashing is equivalent to directly declaring surrender. It makes no difference..."

In fact, everyone is complaining in their hearts but they dare not say it. All this is because Luo Sheng decided to start the repurchase program with $135 billion before. Otherwise, those short funds would not dare to play with them because of their courage. It has reached the point where it has run out of ammunition and food.

Luo Sheng never explained anything, because he never explained to them that Bluestar Technology is going to go public in Hong Kong after all, and the biggest purpose of going to Hong Kong for listing is to find a super powerful backing for Bluestar Technology.

The executive who attended the meeting added: "But if the transfer to a third party is not in the market, who would dare to take over at this time?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng turned his gaze with a mysterious look, and when he saw this scene, Lao Zhang and the others also followed his sight.

The eyes of everyone in the meeting room fell on Zhong Yuanhong who was watching.

At this time, Luo Sheng's words floated to the ears of Zhang Bowen and others: "Who said no one will take over? Hasn't this already invited the buyer?"

When these words came out, everyone subconsciously exclaimed: "What?"
