Chapter 850

Andy is a little interested in alvette's question. You should know that alvert is seldom joking about investment.

"Listen to what makes you feel like joking."

"Bard should have heard that John Thain, the former CEO of NYSE Euronext, is taking over the post of CEO of Merrill Lynch." Asked Al, looking at bardstone with a smile.

"Well, this guy got the year-end dividend from Merrill Lynch just a few days after he took office. He didn't hesitate to accept it. He didn't know whether it was good or bad for him to take over Merrill Lynch." Bardstone was also a little ironic, as if he didn't like John Thain very much.

"Ha ha, I don't know whether it's good or bad, but my friend of Merrill Lynch just told me that he has selected three assets of Merrill Lynch for sale to ease the financial dilemma. The analysis of the think tank predicts that Citigroup, * * * * and Merrill Lynch may write down another $34 billion of subprime securities. "

Andy heard al's words, but his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "it seems that these three assets to be sold have some meaning, say, what project makes you think I will be interested?"

"30% stake in Bloomberg!"

"What?!"

Andy's face was startled and confirmed loudly. He looked at alvette a little incredulously, hoping it wasn't his message to amuse himself.

"Boss, you heard me right. It's 30% of Bloomberg! However, Merrill Lynch only needs cash, and Bloomberg's valuation is premium to $10 billion by them

"Fxxk! That's worth it! How much liquidity can I use now? 3.3 billion? " Andy's face is filled with uncontrollable excitement. He reaches for his fist and directly interrupts al's words. His excited eyes are shining green.

Andy has to be excited by the news. It's Bloomberg. To be honest, maybe ordinary people in China don't care about Bloomberg. But if people are a little interested in international news, they can't ignore the news agency that specializes in providing news to all media around the world.

Many TV stations, newspapers and online reports are mostly from Bloomberg, which is more common around 2015.

Bloomberg news, founded in 1981 in the United States, is the world's largest financial information company, with about 130 news branches and about 2000 news professionals around the world. Founder Michael Bloomberg, yes, still a Jew.

It is mainly used as a platform of economic information for users around the world to exchange information. It also provides authoritative economic comments and views, and provides economic information to corporate groups and organizations, including real estate economic information.

Seeing this, do you feel a little familiar with it? Do you feel that the mode is very natural?

The most important is that it is the world's largest financial information service provider, whose data terminal system "Bloomberg Professional Services" can help customers access and analyze real-time financial market data and conduct transactions.

Customers using the data terminal are all over the world, including traders, investment banks, the Federal Reserve, other official institutions in the United States and major central banks around the world. The terminal costs $20000 a year, and 315000 users worldwide contribute $7.9 billion a year to Bloomberg's revenue.

Each of Bloomberg's employees has its own terminals, including more than 2400 journalists in its media department.

It's definitely Ali of the press, or Jack Ma of Ali, who is likely to learn from Bloomberg's organizational structure.

The company has developed into a global multimedia group integrating news, data and data analysis. In just 26 years, Bloomberg has surpassed Reuters Group, the world's largest information company with a history of 150 years, in terms of sales revenue in its financial data market.

This company, which has 33% market share in finance and media, needs 10 billion valuation, that is 20 billion. Andy will find a way to collect funds to get 30% of the shares. You know, Michael Bloomberg, the old fox, is more important than his life. Over the years, he is still holding more than 55% of the shares.

Although he was elected as mayor of New York City since 2002 and resigned as president of Bloomberg, he still clings to the CEO of the company.

This is a Bloomberg empire that is more valuable than News Corporation in Andy's eyes. If he can get a third of the shares this time, he will become one of the owners of Bloomberg's special line service network that has failed to give way to the Internet.

Bardstone took a look around his mouth, and looked at alvette, who shrugged his shoulders with a trace of resentment. "The current boss of freecity has authorized 2.7 billion US dollars, the cost of 700 million US dollars of apple stock, and the company's operating capital of 300 million US dollars, and the available capital is 3 billion US dollars."

"Gaia currently has 2.5 billion dollars available, and there are 205 million in the owner's private account..." Alvert made some small changes.

"Well? Oh ~ "at first, Andy's figure was a little shocked, which is much more than 12 billion yuan. It's also a surprise. NIMA, his group of people are helping him make money every day. I believe that the year-end report in the UK will also give him a happy figure."We should be grateful to those ghosts in the country of foot basin. I didn't expect the devaluation of the US dollar to make my assets grow again, ha ha." Andy couldn't help laughing.

At the same time, alvette and bardstone were wandering in the sky, looking away from their eyes, and filtering out the words of their young big boss with strong racial discrimination directly. Anyway, the important people around them were used to the boss's names for ghosts, sticks and A-San, and they would automatically close their ears.

"By the way, Al, Bard said before that there is money to suppress the price of gold futures. It's nearly two months. The price of gold has been fluctuating from 780 to 815 dollars. These bastards just take this opportunity. I want to play a hedge and teach them a lesson!"

“。。。。。。”

“。。。。。。”

Alvette and bardstone looked at each other with frowns, and then thought quickly.

"Christmas will be closed for one day, and near the end of the year, most of the funds will be withdrawn and cashed out. If the boss wants to pry into the gold futures market, we need to increase leverage. Naturally, the boss has no problem with your credit rating, but the risk is still very large, and because of the time difference, we can't achieve the simultaneous suppression of New York and London..."

"No, Al, we can do it, but boss, according to the analysis, we think that the gold futures in February next year will rise in the near future. The continuous depreciation of the U.S. dollar, whether against the yen, the euro or the pound, has repeatedly set a new low. The Nikkei index is affected by this and continues to rise against the trend, while the exchange rate against the pound has been infinitely close to 1:2. The gold exchange rate The price is bound to rise explosively because of the depreciation of the US dollar. At this time, if we risk hedging, we are likely to be short!

As for the problem of simultaneous suppression, before the opening of the U.S. market, because it is Christmas Eve, London will close before 12 o'clock, let our people in London start to suppress the price of gold futures from the opening, and try to achieve the linkage effect. One hour after the closing of London, we are using leverage funds to short, two-way options, and then backhand low suction... "

Andy is a little tangled. Maybe he can succeed. After all, the capital power to suppress gold futures is very big. If he adds some external force, it may cause severe market shock. There is no problem in making money. But he still thinks about the 30% of Bloomberg stock in Merrill Lynch's hands.

It seems that he understood the young boss's mind. Alvette's eyes brightened slightly and came up with an idea of making the best of both worlds.

"Boss, if not, we will contact the London side to report the specific number of gold futures they hold. On our side, we will directly raise 4 billion US dollars to redeem your gold mortgage from the Bank of America with the loan interest. After the opening of the market tomorrow, we will directly use this batch of spot gold to impact the gold futures market. Such a large number of gold spot markets When entering the market, the futures due in February next year will not fall. In this way, our short hedging profits will be a little less, but we can ensure that the value of gold in the hands of the boss will not be affected by market shocks and shrink. We can take out some of the cash and gold funds sold before and leverage them to suck down, so that we have enough cash and gold in our hands The best of both worlds! "
