Chapter 1398

"I know, I know Vivendi global has had a difficult day. It's a great company, but I still don't think their stock price has returned to rationality..."

Vivendi global evaporated more than 16 billion euros in one trading day, but Julian Robertson still showed a firm posture. After making a brief and restrained statement at the gate, he waved his hand without expression, refused to continue to ask questions, and quickly disappeared in front of the camera.

"Damn it! vulture! Asshole

It's clear that he still pretends to be proud of being in the limelight. At night, when little Bronfman saw this behind the scenes on the TV, his deep hatred for this guy almost filled all his senses, "corrupt Wall Street scum!"

He also found that the window of the room was lit from time to time. He went to look out and said, "shxt..."

Luxury cars are slowly driving into the gate of the manor. They stop at the gate of the castle. The well behaved European upper class people get out of the car and hand out the small envelopes with invitation letters to the male servants dressed in tuxedos. Then they enter the manor to receive a grand reception from the host family.

Little Bronfman remembered that he had invited a large number of guests early and arranged today's top-level dinner. His intention was to celebrate Vivendi's good day, but he didn't expect that it would come to this

It's a bit exciting today. He forgot

"Little Edgar, I know you're in a bad mood now, but you have to go down and entertain the guests, and don't lose the brownfields..."

The voice of the senior official of the family, the president of sigram wine industry, sounded outside the door. "At this time, we can't let outsiders find that we are in a panic."

"I'm not afraid to see people yet."

The grand dinner to celebrate the victory now seems so ironic. At this point, the rich and noble childe has to clean up his mood and do a good job of communication first. "Wait for me for a while, I'll be fine soon."

With the help of the housekeeper, he picked it up and practiced smiling in front of the mirror. Then he was gracefully surrounded by his subordinates and went downstairs.

With Vivendi, global's wealth shrank by 18.75% in one day, and the reason why Tiger Fund vowed to short was that its company cheated Vivendi by making false accounts. When the French in the banquet hall saw him, they paid attention to him one after another, with different expressions.

He calmly patrolled the next stage with his eyes. At this time, almost all the people who came to the banquet were the children of the rich families who had not yet taken over the family business, the so-called aristocratic descendants, senior managers, party animals in the fashion circle

"Hello, hello... Welcome..."

He didn't worry that these second-class figures in the upper class circle of Europe would make him feel embarrassed in public. He calmly shook hands and exchanged greetings one by one from close quarters to do his best.

But in front of the live band, the usual relaxed and soothing melody as the background of the banquet suddenly changed, the violin voice highlighted, and the fast and strong bow movement made the flowing music incompatible with the live atmosphere.

He knew and loved music, otherwise he would not have bought two major record companies, universal and polaroid, from the cross-border wine business. He soon realized that this was Italian composer and violinist vival, who was in the cold wind

In the ice and snow

I can't help shivering

Stop running to maintain body temperature

The teeth were giggling and chattering

Vivar, the tempers of these artists

This time, he didn't attack again. Maybe it was the power of music, and even his mood was unconsciously affected by the melody. It seemed that he was really brought from the warm summer in France to the cold winter with cold wind and heavy snow.

Standing in the same place, he could not help recalling the scenes around the closing of the stock market in the afternoon.

Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen

He looked at the computer screen alone, and the corners of his mouth trembled. He hoped for a miracle, but he didn't. eighteen points and then 18.75 limit drop. Vivendi global was smashed to pieces before the closing of the Paris exchange.

He clenched his teeth and knew that his face must be very ugly now, and his eyes seemed to be congested, but he couldn't take care of it. Messier didn't do anything like that! He jumped up, got up in a huff, and went to ask someone for a crime.

Messier's office, no one, the conference room... It's empty.

But soon, before he left the conference room, Messier led a lot of people in, "messier, you..."

Today, not only Vivendi's global limit fell, but also the French stock market and even the European stock market fell. Messier's mood was not strong enough. He rudely interrupted his words, "little Edgar, we have decided to give you two choices."

Without any friendliness, he said directly in front of the senior management of Vivendi global and the representatives of the French government and banks: "if you give yourself a good holiday, we will not remove you from the position of CEO of sigram global, maintain unity and save the situation. You don't care about anything for the time being, and we will do other things."

Still shaking the pot? He was so angry that he responded with a ferocious face: "don't forget that I am still the chairman of the board of directors of sigram global. Do you want to take away my power in disguise and then arbitrarily transfer the responsibility to universal music? Let's go through the procedure and hold the board meeting first! It's not going to help with the current crisis, you idiot

"If you don't agree, just take the initiative to lift the lid. I announce that I will enter the internal investigation process, admit some minor mistakes, and then call the board of directors of sigram global to remove you, including the position of chairman. After a while, the market will return to rationality. You know I can do it, little Edgar... But I advise you not to make that choice. " Mercer came back coldly.

After the stock exchange and M & A, Messier can do it, but it is tantamount to tearing up his previous commitment to continue to host the sigma global group, "and then? This is tantamount to our own disguised confirmation of the short report of the Tiger Fund, which will even make the rumors of 10 billion false accounts on Wall Street more credible. Do you still want to see a drop limit? "

"Think for yourself anyway, and give me an answer before midnight."

Messier was too lazy to say anything to him. He shook his hand impatiently. "Now you can go out. It's not convenient for you to be here."

"You

Among all the humiliations he has suffered in his life, Messier's is the best. His face is red with anger. The people who attended the meeting pass by one by one, with all kinds of eyes... He can't accept it, but he can't think of a way to fight back. Standing in a dilemma at the door, he feels as if he has been stripped naked.

"Or should I call the guard?" Messier, sitting at the top of the long conference table, threatened.

"You It's too ugly for the top tycoon, chairman of sigram global group, to be forced out by the guards. "We'll see!"

In France's land, he can only temporarily endure this tone, "let's go!" Like a defeated dog, he angrily called his subordinates and planned to go back to a meeting immediately to discuss countermeasures, "hmm?" He saw Ron Meyer, the president of Universal Pictures, smiling at himself, but still leaning back against the wall and walking into the conference room.

"Er... Hehe... Boss." Ron Meyer, who was found, bowed in embarrassment.

"Villain!"

He suddenly realized that he had been betrayed.

“APLUS？ APLUS？” Harry is knocking on the door outside.

"Well?" After ecstasy, song Ya kneaded his painful knuckles in the room.

"Have you forgotten something?"

"What?"

"In the evening, we're going to the cinema." Harry replied.

Oh! I really forget that blade 2 has to continue its mission.

Night life in Spain is very rich. For local people, night means the beginning of a day's entertainment. In the evening, Songya, Halley and other blade Warrior 2 creators arrive at the cinema to attend the premiere.

Halley held his arm all the way, with a happy face, as if she had hit Vivendi Global's limit today.

"Damn it."

He saw clearly the people who were coming forward, and suddenly remembered that this was Latin land. He murmured and began to smile

“APLUS……”

For song ya, although it seems that the whole world knows that he participated in shorting Vivendi global, in fact, the news was only spread in a very small circle, except that he was asked by Nomura Securities in Tokyo. The Latin Gang, still addicted to fighting in the U.S. stock market, didn't get any news at all,, To Spain in the premiere to block their own estefen and other purpose is very strong.

Sure enough, I didn't say a few words, "aplus, now the technology network stocks are rebounding. Are you satisfied with the current situation of the listed company of Littman?" Esterfen began to spy on the intelligence. The speed of the stock price rebound of Littman series could not satisfy the Latin group. They recovered some blood, but they were still locked up.

"Not bad." Song Ya pretended to be stupid.

"I noticed that crimereads novel website has not improved in any way. The browsing experience criticized by Icahn capital's short report before the stock market crash is still very bad. Aplus, as the chairman of Littman media, do you want to ask yourself?" Said one of the Latin gang members who suffered the most.

"Crimereads is a listed company with its own cost accounting system and management..." Song Ya replied.

"I heard that after the stock market crash, both the cost of infrastructure such as bandwidth and the salary of programmers have dropped significantly. Now should be a good time to make up lessons."

Estefen's understanding of the industry has made rapid progress. Indeed, with the stock market crash, the hot money invested in the Internet industry has plummeted, and companies have to lay off employees and tighten their investment. As a result, the companies such as optical fiber and optical cable, which had been expanding so much before, are in dire straits immediately, and programmers are cheaper.

"I know."

Song Ya grinned at the Latin Gang, "but I'm sorry, I can't tell you more."

"A hint?" The other side is still not willing to give up entanglement.

In the past, Songya will definitely start to be impatient, but now he has a lot of temper, and continues to reply in a soft voice: "I will be suspected of insider trading if I do any hint. Mr. Estefan, we are friends, but... In short, there are risks in the stock market, so we do our own homework."

He patted each other's arm with a smile. "We're going on stage. I'm sorry."

"This guy, now he's totally in the same league with those Wall Street assholes who play the game of money trap, and he doesn't want to think about how much money and global reputation he made by our cup of life!" Latin group looks at Song Ya sitting in front of the big screen with Harry, Zach Schneider and others. He is indignant. "It's clear that everyone is rebounding. As a maker of the listed company of Littman media, he can easily pull a lot from his fingers, but he just doesn't do anything and let it go!"

"Just now there were so many people with mixed eyes that we were worried. Let's go to the hotel and have a good chat with him when this activity is over." Estefen also had expectations. He knew the relationship between Songya and Shakira, and believed that he still had some face. "Don't complain, you don't know how much he lost. It's not easy for everyone..."

"Mr. aplus, there is a rumor that you participated in the short selling of French stocks, which led to the decline of Vivendi global? Can you talk about it? "

Like Tokyo, suddenly a reporter jumped to ask about something completely unrelated to the film.

Vivendi dropped its limit on the first day of market recovery. Its market value has just evaporated more than 16 billion euros. Naturally, Latin people know that estephine and others look at Song Ya with a cool face on the stage, and then turn to look at each other. First, they can't believe it, but think about it carefully

They know the grudge between Sonya and brownfman, and they know that it's true that they bet who will go bankrupt first. They know Sonya's character better, and the more they think about it, the more likely they are.

"Well, I know Vivendi global has encountered great difficulties today. Many of its artists are my personal good friends. I have paid some attention to them, but there are not many things that can answer your question. I'm a layman, and I'm praying for them just like you. I hope they can get through this and get better and better in the future. "

Can't deny and don't want to admit, song Ya didn't reprimand the questioner, didn't question the other party's origin and motivation, just used a gentle tone to wordy a few words.

"I mean, are you involved?"

"Talk about movies. Talk about movies. Thank you." Song Ya smiles and hands the microphone to Zach Schneider.

Before his friends could react, estephine was shocked to death. He opened his mouth and made a silent "WTF" shape. Then his brain went blank and his whole body fell into a petrified state.

"Congratulations, Mr. Robertson. I saw what you said to reporters... Yes, on the news."

At the end of the event, the Latin Gang didn't come to the hotel. When song Ya saw the news about the reporter's interview with Julian Robertson, he called him on time, smiling and complimenting.

"Ha ha! I don't deny that I've been in the limelight this time. Maybe some people on Wall Street will start to envy me. "

Julian Robertson is naturally in a very good mood. A short report attracted a big earthquake in the French capital market. Multinational giants fell by the limit and their market value shrank by nearly 20%. This is the best praise for fund managers and the best advertisement. "Unfortunately, this honor should have been Mr. Black law, who you and I shared together."

"Heifa is too numb. Ha ha, just call me aplus."

After a few words of flattery, they began to discuss their strategy for the next day. "Look, messier, they've got something new." Julian Robertson reminds Songya to watch the news.

At Vivendi headquarters, the motorcade composed of Renault and signboard cars is quite stable at the door. In the picture, Messier shakes hands with the big guys on and off the car and accepts the reporter's photo generously.

"Vivendi Global CEO Michel held a closed door meeting with the French government, BNP Paribas, Societe Generale and credit Lyon all night to discuss countermeasures..." the news voiceover said.

Messier himself deliberately fell behind the crowd and gave an interview to a reporter, "every acquisition of Vivendi global has been successful. We have taken the right path, but we can't reflect it in the stock price? I am very confused about this... "

"Please rest assured that we can find the most suitable solution in the shortest time..." he said

The squad... The French all star team? Songya and Julian Robertson both calm down from the joy, and the opponents begin to react quickly, and the market confidence will be greatly restored.

Tomorrow, tomorrow is no longer a sneak attack, but a positional battle. Should it be another bloody day?

"Your father."

Little Bronfman also saw the news. He was gnashing his teeth at the TV. The president of sigram liquor came to remind him to answer the phone.

"Thank you." He was moved to thank Ron Meyer. Doug Morris and Barry Diller were hiding on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, listening to the announcement. They didn't expect that this family elder, whom they disliked most, would accompany them faithfully, "father." He answered the phone and said hello in shame.

"I hear that Messier is going to take back the family's power in sigram global?" Asked old browfman.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's OK, kid. Life will never be smooth. We'll get through this." Old brown man comforts his son.

"But I'm out of cards now, I don't know what to do... I've done a lot of damage to my family again... I'm so naive that everyone will laugh at me tomorrow." Listening to his father's voice, little Bronfman choked and apologized.

"It's just book wealth. It's always like this. It goes up and down with the stock market."

Old Bronfman said: "don't care about the views of the outside world. During the period after the sale of DuPont shares, there was so much ridicule from the outside world, didn't we get through it? What else are you doing in France now? "

"I have an appointment for dinner tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but it's meaningless now..."

"No, continue to be in the best state in social occasions. Don't let others see your weakness. Don't stimulate Messier or make the French, especially the French government suspicious. In short, you have to be patient, finish what you should do according to the original plan, and then come back... Back to Canada, let's have a good chat."

"I don't have the face to go back to see you..." little brown man was very moved by his father's regardless of his past. At his most vulnerable moment... This familiar voice was warm like the sunshine in winter.

"There's no time to sigh, son. Come back. No matter what the storm is, we'll discuss it together. There's always something we can do."

"Well!"

"Vivendi Global's strategy meeting is still going on. We haven't seen any participants leave yet..."

At two o'clock in the morning of June 21, French time, the local news made a brief live broadcast. The camera slowly went up, and finally stayed at the brightly lit top floor of Vivendi headquarters.

At the same time, CNBC of the United States also released an express.

"Just now, Lehman Brothers also released a short report on Vivendi global group. The report is more focused on Vivendi group than the previous one of Tiger Fund. Lehman Brothers believes that Vivendi has major problems in the calculation method of consolidated goodwill after the acquisition of sigma global. At the same time, Vivendi also has fraud behaviors such as abusing reserves, concealing huge debts, and double counting the total operating income of its medical companies of about $1.5 billion. At the end of the short report, Lehman Brothers jokingly concluded that Vivendi had blown up its credit card in order to swallow sigma global. "

"The Ministry of Commerce of the United States also confirmed to our reporter that a monopoly lawsuit of the six major record companies in the early years is still in the process of litigation, and the proportion of fines borne by universal music, formerly known as universal records and Polaroid records, will reach about 50% of the total. Professionals predict that the fine is likely to be a record amount... "
