Chapter 893 Shareholding in Gilead

Friday, February 2.

When the capital market is closely watching whether the Nasdaq market, which has been oscillating for a week in the 2900-point range on the last trading day of the week, can break through the 3,000-point mark, another scoop of cold water in the Westeros system is poured again this morning .

Less than two weeks after the announcement of the reduction of Cisco shares on January 22, Westeros issued a reduction statement again.

No surprises.

This time it's AOL's turn.

The amount of reduction is still about 2 billion US dollars.

In order to suppress the Nasdaq index, two weeks after the announcement on January 22, Westeros has completed the reduction of Cisco stocks, which is actually the Nasdaq index up and down this week, but always An important reason for failing to break through 3000 points.

Because the two reduction announcements are too close in time, as Westeros announced the reduction of AOL stock announcements, the Nasdaq index fell to 2.9% on Friday, which is significantly more than 0.7 on the day of the Cisco reduction announcement. % Of the market's decline, the Nasdaq index also fell back to the 2800 point range, which was 2879 points at the close of the day.

Come again!

Since the Westeros system reduced its holdings of Daenerys for the first time in December last year, many people have speculated about Simon’s motives.

After all, it's just not a reason to expect the market to peak and cash out at a high level.With the current influence of the Westeros system, as long as it is said that funds are needed, a lot of financial institutions will cry and pounce to send money. If the market is about to turn, in order to maintain the overall situation, Simon Westero should do It is to stabilize market sentiment as much as possible, rather than to cash out the risk of catalyzing a market crash.

Now, three times later, everyone finally reacted.

Simon Westero is suppressing the new technology market.

The reason for this is also very clear. Some people with a slight financial background can understand that avoiding overheating of the market is actually beneficial to the long-term development of an industry. Otherwise, a large amount of speculative capital will quickly enter and exit while the market is boiling. As a result, it tends to succumb to death, leaving only a feather.

Understand, but everyone is looking forward to the rapid progress of a series of technology stocks, and expecting the record gains of various technology stocks that have been unknowingly re-positioned, Simon Westero, you are so blatantly breaking everyone Cailu, it's really awkward.

Therefore, after the close of the afternoon, all forces began to denounce the Westeros.

Someone asked the SEC to investigate whether Westeros had manipulated the market.

Someone called on the federal government to take measures to ban Simon Westero's malicious selling.

Someone contacted Simon privately, hoping that he would close in time without warning.

Others said that Simon can directly state how much he intends to sell and cash out. Everyone can trade privately without having to sell in the secondary market to cause market volatility.

Not only that, but the technology stocks that have been waiting for opportunities have not missed this opportunity, once again throwing out the public opinion that the Nasdaq index has peaked and about to turn, trying to really push the technology stock market to a crash.

Even the White House called Simon again.

Obviously, Mr. President, who was entrusted by others, had a long-term focus. He also came up with a report that he did not know where to get and discussed it with Simon for more than half an hour. The idea is that the current fundamentals of the new technology industry even support the Nasdaq 4000 points. No problem, Simon didn't need to be so cautious at 3000.

Frankly speaking, the waves caused by this reduction in shareholding were unexpected by Simon.

However, it is also not beyond Simon’s expectations. After all, the Westero system suppresses the rise of technology stocks, but it blocks the financial path of too many people, but he thought it would happen after two or three more reductions. Kind of thing.

In front of the huge benefits, people's eyes are blood red, and they can do anything if they are in a hurry.

Now that it has caused a backlash from everyone, Simon has no idea of ​​being enemies with the world,

This is actually a kind of big deal.

From small enterprises to large countries, this world has never lacked discerning people. Faced with various malpractices, it is not that no one wants to change, but it is just a matter of accumulation.When a huge machine collapses and runs in one direction, blocking the people who are trying to save in front, there is often no bones.

However, Simon has no intention of ending.

This year's reduction plan has two core goals. One is to suppress the overheating of the new technology market, and the other is to cash out funds.

Simon's original goal was to accumulate US$20 billion in funds in 1996.

Since he promised to stop cashing out on the open market in the short term, at least not in the next six months, Simon intends to trade directly with institutions, as some have suggested.

Simon also plans to choose the right time to issue a Westeros corporate bond.

Prior to this, when Westero privately needed additional funds, he always sought loans directly from banks.Mainly convenient and fast, without the complicated process of issuing bonds, and with Westeros' credit rating, the interest rate for loans is often very affordable.

However, if you want to raise more than 10 billion US dollars in one lump sum, and it is a long-term debt of more than 10 years, it is not appropriate to continue lending.

The main reason is that the flexibility of bank loans is too poor, there are many restrictions, and there is no room for repayment. Once a company has problems, bank debt collection will often become the last straw to crush the camel. After a company goes bankrupt, bank loans are usually All are given priority to get clearance.

In comparison, the flexibility of corporate bonds is very high. As long as the funds are obtained, the various restrictions are much smaller. In the event of a problem, you can also negotiate debt restructuring with creditors.

With the current volume of the Westeros system, the probability of encountering certain problems is very low. Therefore, the choice of debt issuance, the core is still cost.

Banks are pursuing profit, so companies will inevitably pay higher costs.

As for bond investors, especially high-credit bond investors with lower interest rates, they are only for stability, or even to resist inflation, but there is no too high pursuit of profit, which actually means that the bond issuer needs to pay The cost will be very low.

In fact, many companies in the Westero system, such as Daenerys, AOL, etc., have been issuing bonds in recent years, but Westero, which is the core of the Westero system, has not done so. After all, in the past, if you wanted to issue bonds, it meant that you would disclose a lot of information publicly. This is something Simon is not willing to do.

Now, the Westeros system is strong enough, and then choose to issue bonds, which can be selectively disclosed.

believe it or not.

Love to buy or not to buy.

So, after promising not to reduce his holdings in the short term, Simon released his voice on the following weekend.

Since some people say that the sale of the Westeros system can be undertaken privately, in addition to the US$2 billion AOL online share reduction announced on Friday will continue to flow to the secondary market, Simon plans to sell Daenerys Entertainment, Cisco, AOL three stocks totaling $3 billion.

Let's discuss, let's make money.

Of course, because it is a bulk transaction, Simon will not set the original price uncomfortably, and can directly give the organization a 10% discount.

Three reductions in cash and monthly cash payments of 6 billion.

Another 3 billion was sold this time.

Counting at least Tinkerbal, Melisandre and Verizon Telecom will at least cash more than 1 billion US dollars in the listing process. In the first half of the year, through these cash reductions, 15% of the capital gains tax was removed, Weiss Tello is expected to recover not less than US$10 billion in funds.

Then, in the second half of the year, Westeros will launch a $10 billion bond issuance plan.

Adding up 20 billion, it just happened to complete Simon's plan to hoard funds.

In addition, Simon does not intend to completely abandon the plan to suppress the Nasdaq market, but the means will be more concealed, how much can be done.

In fact, all these actions of extracting funds from the market are suppressing.

Smart people will always hesitate to see Simon Westero continue to withdraw funds, and then want to rush into the field of new technology.

Simon let out a whisper, and soon got a response.

Wall Street giants such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley and overseas financial predators such as Credit Suisse are very interested in this batch of shares cashed by Simon. They just hope that the discount can be lower. Of course, they are rejected.

However, the two sides quickly started formal contact.

Simon also brought in Cersei Capital’s Black Rock Asset Management Company and plans to give a share of at least 10%. After all, this transaction, as long as it is not too greedy, has been tightly grasped. In the future, the right time to cash out, the buyer’s generous returns are completely Can be expected.

Of course, the benefits should be divided among themselves.

Simon only confessed to Lawrence Fink that the half-year limited sales period for buying these stocks had passed. If the market trends, he would sell them all at once.

Perhaps it is because many people have received the news of Simon’s promise. After the weekend in early February, the new week, the Nasdaq index quickly returned to the 2900 point range, and the obstacles that hit 3000 points have basically disappeared.

The initial plan was considered to have died shortly after the beginning. Simon was not frustrated and pushed forward the various plans of the Westeros system step by step.

Wednesday, February 7.

Another news related to Westeros system flowed out.

This morning, a start-up pharmaceutical company in Foster City, San Francisco Bay Area, suddenly held a press conference and announced that it had reached a financing plan with a total amount of 120 million US dollars. Westeros will rely on This obtained 4 million shares of Gilead, with a shareholding ratio of 32.8%, and became the largest shareholder of Gilead.

Although Gilead's share price, which already belongs to a listed company, was announced by this news, the East Coast skyrocketed by 17% within a few hours in the afternoon, with a market value of 535 million US dollars, but most people still have a blindfold.

Gilead.

What is this?

Fortunately, within a few hours after the news was released, the company's information was dug up. Of course, Gilead also actively released the wind.

This pharmaceutical company established in 1987, well, the details are really beyond compliment.

Founded eight years ago, focusing on research in the field of immunodeficiency and antiviral drugs, he has burned hundreds of millions of dollars in funding, but basically nothing has been achieved. Only a small amount of outsourcing research can be obtained from pharmaceutical giants such as GlaxoSmithKline. Revenue.

However, it was a miracle that such a company successfully conducted an IPO in 1992 and has survived to this day.

Ok.

The connections behind the company, such as one of the youngest former Secretary of Defense in American history, are clearly one of the main reasons.In addition, everyone can find the biggest reason why Westeros shares in this company, should be considered Gilead finally launched its first new drug.

According to the information displayed by the FDA, this new drug is called cidofovir, which is mainly used for information on a cytomegalovirus retinitis caused by immunodeficiency.

What the hell is this?

Eight years after its establishment, a total of hundreds of millions of dollars of funds were burned to produce a non-mainstream antiviral drug. Although the prospect of this drug described by Gilead is very bright, it can be used as a direct intravenous assistant, replacing the existing only intubation Several drugs administered are expected to contribute more than US$150 million to Gilead’s revenue each year after being marketed, but when everyone is so fooled?

Soon someone broke Gilead's lies.

According to the market demand for this drug, it is already a miracle to bring in 15 million US dollars of annual revenue after the market, 150 million, which is completely fantasy.

But, in this case, why did Simon Westero spend 120 million US dollars to buy such a company.

Although everyone also found that Simon Westeros only paid 20% of the share price before the disclosure of 120 million shares of Gilead to buy more than 30% of the stock, but if this company is worthless, let alone 20%. Even if it is a 40% discount, it must be just the result of playing in the water.

Is there anything inside that you don’t know about?

So all kinds of gossip began to spread again.

The good guys have studied carefully and found that one of Gilead’s key research directions is actually AIDS. The upcoming cidofovir is probably a by-product of Gilead’s research in recent years, because this drug is oriented The so-called cytomegalovirus retinitis that everyone has never heard of, but also has a strong inhibitory effect on herpes virus, human tumor virus and the like.

What are these things? Should anyone with a little knowledge know?

After all, Simon Westero is a well-known playboy.

Even if...

Is this a precaution?

and so.

Everyone is gone.

This is obviously just a layer of health protection that a super rich bought for himself. 120 million. Others may feel pain when taking it out. For Simon Westero, it is drizzle.

Due to the current influence of the Westeros system, the mainstream media certainly dare not involve in this evil lace. Only some lace tabloids in front of the blog or some gossip website forums dare to give similar hints vaguely. Ordinary people just like this one. Even some social elites can't avoid talking.

Simon didn't want to buy Gilead as too public, so he was not invited to attend the signing ceremony that morning.

I just didn't expect public opinion to be crooked here.

Of course, smart people are never lacking.

If Simon Westero really just bought insurance for himself, he would certainly do it quietly, how could it be known to outsiders.

Now, Gilead may just be a company that is not very corporate. It broke through the market value of 500 million US dollars that day. Compared with the huge Westeros system, it is nothing.However, this may be another signal. For example, the Westeros system has quietly entered the medical industry?
