Chapter 324: Acquisition of Blizzard and Floating Loss

war3 is definitely a good game.

Even privately, Abel thinks this is Blizzard's most successful and best game.The only online game wow that has become a super-large IP is also a new architecture based on war.

Speaking of Blizzard.

Before starting the game, Abel took a look at the U.S. stock market.

The entire U.S. stock market, although due to the end of the midterm elections, has slightly improved.But it has never recovered from the previous October plunge.

Abel noticed.

Once swept the entire world in the game industry, launched StarCraft, Warcraft, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Overwatch, and Abel's favorite World of Warcraft Activision Blizzard.

It is not optimistic now.

Since October this year, Blizzard’s stock price has fallen from its highest point of $84.6. It has fallen to 68.84 today. It has not yet closed and is expected to fall after the close.The cumulative decline is nearly 20%, and the market value has shrunk by about 12.7 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to about 80 billion yuan in soft sister currency.

Such a decline.

Even with the overall U.S. stock market going down and the stock market evaporating $10 trillion, it still looks a bit outrageous.

You know this is Blizzard.

Once one of the most profitable game companies in the world, excluding those in China, even Blizzard, which is now extremely weak, still ranks in the forefront of game revenue among global game companies.

of course……

On game companies.

One Penguin company's game performance can lift up all game companies in the world!

As for why Blizzard is so miserable now, it has something to do with the mobile game "Diablo: Immortality" on the Blizzard Carnival that they just passed not long ago.

This kind of rubbish, however, was used by Blizzard as the finale game to be announced, which naturally caused bad reviews of the player's "tsunami" level.

Blizzard released the official video of the "Dark" mobile game on the video site on November 2. As of today, about 2.14 million people have watched the video, and 214,000 have made a statement, of which 200,000 have given negative comments. , Only 14,000 people liked it.

Against the background of such expectations, Blizzard's stock price suffered a heavy setback.On the first trading day after the Blizzard Carnival ended, Blizzard’s stock price fell 6.74% within the day, and the market value evaporated about US$3.5 billion that day, equivalent to about 24.5 billion yuan.

"Tsk tusk... It's a real death!"

Abel can only comment on this behavior.But because of this, she suddenly became interested.

How about buying Blizzard?

After all, no matter how weak Blizzard is, it still has the super big IP of Warcraft, the good IP of StarCraft, and the excellent ability to create games.

No matter how.

The name Blizzard.

Because of the many successes introduced earlier.

It is still very much loved by gamers all over the world.

If you can buy Blizzard and undergo some reforms, this is a very operational thing.

It's just hard.

Even after such a long plunge, Blizzard's current value is still more than 45 billion U.S. dollars. It is impossible to buy it without more than 50 billion U.S. dollars in funds.

The most important thing is.

Blizzard’s parent company, Vidiwang from France, is not bad for money.

"I have Paramount now..."

"After buying Blizzard, re-shoot the [Warcraft] movie. Launch the StarCraft movie, and then launch the Ass Pioneer IP movie... Or simply come to a Blizzard universe!"

"This seems to have something to do?!"

Think of the Zerg of StarCraft and the Thrombie of Azeroth fighting against the Alliance tribe and Overwatch.

As a former Blizzard White, it is false to say that it is not heartbeat.

And now in this situation.

The acquisition of Blizzard is not impossible, although it will cost a lot of money, it can't get it for less than 40-50 billion US dollars.

Moreover, it takes more than one or two years to make profits afterwards.

But the operability is very high!

The more I think about it, the more he feels operational.Just buying Blizzard is more difficult than buying Paramount.

Paramount has just started.

Even though Abel wants Blizzard very much now, he can't get a pinch.You can only plan slowly, and looking at how Blizzard is doing things now, there should be room for the stock price to continue to fall.

The acquisition of Blizzard.

Don't rush.

Letting go of the desire for his school days in his heart, Abel returned his attention to real work.

International crude oil futures.

I don't know if it is the fate or the prediction of fate smoke.After Abel used the smoke of fate, the loss caused by the blind operation in front of him was in front of various news events that suddenly appeared.

Surprisingly, the floating loss of more than 400 million U.S. dollars is gradually decreasing.

After going through the OPEC production cut documents, not only did it fail to raise oil prices, but it increased the negative psychology of the market.

However, never underestimate the power of capital!Especially when those powerful capitals can affect some mouthpieces!

This situation changed when Abel's floating loss was reduced to 300 million U.S. dollars!

16:38 PM.

Viacom's CNN, its international news broadcasts a piece of news from Camel Country.

Eight oil wells in the Camel Kingdom caught fire in an accident and eventually turned into a rumbling explosion.

There were only eight oil wells in the first place, but they didn't seem to be remarkable.In some oil-poor countries or some places where the oil is buried too deep, an oil well can produce between a few tons and dozens of tons a day.

For such an oil well, it is good to use a kowtow to pump 2 tons a day, and there is half a ton.

but……

This kind of oil well, on the Camel side, will even be regarded as a waste oil well with no exploitation value.

Why is this so?

Because on the camel side, the most rubbish oil wells start with a daily output of several hundred tons!

Even in Camel Country, there is an oil well that produces 10,000 tons of crude oil per day!!Moreover, it is self-spraying. After digging a hole, the oil is sprayed out of it by itself, just collect it around!This kind of oil well is no longer an oil well, it can be said to be an oil fountain!

It is not a spring that spews out, but a high-quality crude oil that is flowing out, which is simply flowing out of gold!

The difference is so huge.

No fuss.

The eight oil wells that had unexpected accidents today are all oil wells in Camel Country with extremely high production. The worst one is said to have a daily production of 800 tons, and the highest one is said to even reach more than 2,000 tons.

The daily output of these eight oil wells alone exceeds 10,000 tons!In one year, its total output even reached 4 million tons of crude oil!

If one ton of crude oil is converted into a standard barrel in futures, it is about seven barrels!This 4 million tons of crude oil is about 28 to 30 million barrels!

Based on the current oil price, it can sell for about 1.8 billion US dollars!

On average, an oil well can produce more than 200 million U.S. dollars of oil a year!The profit is as high as 90%, you say, how can this make the Camel country not a tyrant?!!

Look back on this CNN news.

The eight oil wells exploded and turned into a sea of ​​flames, or the kind that blasted fire outside.Within a few kilometers, I could feel the power and heat.

The nearby oil pipeline is also affected by this.

Urgent diversion is needed, which will seriously affect Camel’s oil production, which means that oil supply and demand have broken the balance.

When this news was reported, the guys headed by Cary Garnett in the entire office area suddenly became nervous!

The oil well was blown up.

This means that oil production will be greatly affected, and if oil production is greatly reduced, the price of oil should go up logically, right?!

This news is extremely bullish news!But for Abel's short-selling behavior, it is very unfavorable!

The market reacted very quickly.

As expected, the market formed an expectation of bullishness, which directly jumped the dollar, and the volume of transactions increased sharply!

This is called expendable buying in stocks. When all buyers enter the market, it means that buying is exhausted.

The same goes for futures.

Even Soros's Quantum Fund and Julian's Tiger Fund specifically choose to go short at this time.

These two funds relied on this kind of method, and for a while, everyone talked about it.

Soros' Quantum Fund has a maximum scale of more than 8 billion U.S. dollars. Don't think that this scale is not large. He is a highly leveraged operation. With 8 billion U.S. dollars in assets, it can leverage tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars in funds!

So Soros was able to successfully attack Thailand, leading to the five-year Asian financial crisis.

The same is true for Julian of the Tiger Fund. He is even more vigorous. At the peak, the net value of the fund exceeded $22 billion, which is higher than Soros.

But these two funds, when they joined forces to make a stock in the airport, suffered a disastrous defeat. The reason is well-known. The referee not only changed the rules, but also kicked the ball.

Since then, the aura of the two funds faded, and the good luck gradually disappeared.

Until 2000, these two funds went bankrupt and liquidated and disappeared from the stage of history.

But this mode of operation has never disappeared, whether it is a financial predator or other hedge funds, it is in use.

As long as there is a chance, they must show the sharp teeth of the shark and tear up the prey.

In the absence of Zhang Xianglin, Cary Garnett, as the leader, is now becoming nervous.

He is deeply aware of the horror of hedge funds. He wants to close his position. It is actually best to withdraw at this time.

It can guarantee the perfect exit of major funds in case of losses.

But he glanced at the boss.

I found that the boss didn't care about the operation of futures at all, but was playing around there.

This seems ridiculous.

It actually gave Cary Garnett a lot of confidence, he became less flustered, and calmly treated this very terrible bullish news for short selling!

"Slow down the speed of opening positions!"

"But don't hesitate!"

"Continue to increase our holdings! Our side has a new wealth myth, and the goddess of luck will always look after our boss!"

"63.96 dollars!"

"buy!"

"..."

With the various operations Cary Garnett carried out in accordance with Abel's previous instructions, the floating losses that had been reduced have gradually increased.

From 408 million US dollars.

Expanded to 867 million US dollars!

The invested capital has also exceeded 4 billion US dollars!

The loss exceeded 20%.

at this time.

Let me say that Abel is wise to enter with his own funds!20% of the loss, if leverage is used, not to mention thousands of times, hundreds of times are exaggerated.That is four or five times, such a loss will also trigger the bank's margin requirements, and directly wipe out the margin loss.

Can only cut the meat and leave the market.

Not like now.

Because all are self-owned funds.

Even if all losses are clean, with a floating loss of more than 4 billion yuan, there will still be so many oil futures contracts on hand.

This is similar to operations on stocks, as long as the leverage is not used, and margin trading is not used.

No matter how the stock falls, as long as the company does not go bankrupt and the stock is still in hand, the loss will not directly become nothing.

It just looks equally shocking.

After all, the loss exceeded 800 million US dollars.

Even Cary Garnett.

He also hesitated a little now.Such a loss, according to the textbook requirements, apart from gambling, it should have been cut off as soon as possible.

He couldn't help but glanced at the boss again.

Seeing the boss's crackling operation, he played the game simply with the mouse.

He still saw it.

That charming and charming Hollywood beauty, relying on the role of Black Widow, became the representative figure of dreams of the world movie, Scarlett Johansson.

She looked lazy and walked out of the office with a spring wave.

Stand behind the boss.

Watching the boss's crackling operation, he even pointed.

The boss is playing games with her.

Cary Garnett was a bit speechless.

But he knew that this was the boss's confident performance.In fact, the boss would not agree to the suggestions I made in the past.

He had to put his attention back to the international crude oil futures!

Within a few minutes of his hesitation.

In the bullish news due to the horror just now, amid the sharply enlarged trading volume, some people began to close their positions quickly.

In five minutes, the turnover of crude oil futures exceeded US$20 billion!

Fifteen minutes later, the turnover was 58 billion US dollars!

And Abel's short orders of millions of lots, hundreds of positions, together with Oasis Investment and Abel's own account, within 20 minutes, the floating loss exceeded 1 billion US dollars for the first time!

Break through the double digits of 100 million!

Such a loss, even Soros, who was in full swing at the time, could not afford it!

Carriganet knows deeply that this kind of expendable buying is the best time to close positions for those who are long!

It takes several hours to open a position, and only a few minutes to close it!

More than a dozen accounts, the loss exceeded 1 billion U.S. dollars, but luckily it was just a floating loss...

Cary Garnett's heart swayed and frightened as he watched. In just a few minutes, at this rate of loss, how many people are looking at the boss?!

In this wave of crazy market.

Recently, the powerful short force has been reaped by those longs!

Can't bear the challenge.

Those who choose to close the position and cut the meat have been eaten, and become the dollars that these long guys lie on their accounts after they close their positions.

Although Abel is also short.

But he was not using a margin account, and he did not use a high-risk leverage multiple, even if the floating loss exceeded $1 billion.

Just grit your teeth and not close the position.

This floating loss is only a floating loss for the time being.

But this is not lasting.

If more powerful forces come back a few times, and the market avalanches, floating losses are likely to become real losses!

Cary Garnett couldn't help but glanced at the boss who started teaching the widow to play games.

Gangster.

You have lost money.
