The first thousand two hundred and ninety chapters step by step
Chapter 1,290 Step by step the situation
…
Apple, Hasbro, Starwood, Wei Semiconductor, Microsoft, and Amazon are almost all super giants in their respective industries. The market value of each company is more than 5 billion US dollars, and even Microsoft's stock price is more than 15 billion!
How huge are the economic or political forces that can cause the stock prices of these companies to fall, or even fall off a cliff?
Although Liu Dong had anticipated the huge crisis coming for him and his Hanhua Group a few months ago, he never expected that this crisis would come so violently?
Moreover, Liu Dong believes that the decline in the stock prices of these companies is just the beginning, and the real feast has not yet come.`
"Immediately call Feng Jianhui and Cui Dongchen, as well as Guan Tao, the president of Hanhua Commercial Bank, and David Coleman of Hanhua Holdings, and let them prepare. Our enemies have already started a war!" Liu Dong stood up with a cold expression.
Su Dao.
"Understood, I'll go right away!" Helen, who knew the critical situation now, had no intention of flirting.
"etc!"
Looking at the slightly stunned Helen, Liu Dong said meaningfully: "By the way, give Sally Krawcheck a call and tell her that I have something here that I want to discuss with her in detail!"
"knew!"
After nodding, Helen hurriedly walked out of Liu Dong's study on the yacht.
After she left, Liu Dong slowly sat down, but the expression on his face became more solemn.
"'Knowing people but not their hearts, it is difficult to draw bones when painting a cat or a tiger.' This sentence is absolutely correct!" Liu Dongxin said.
Without the cooperation of Sally Krawcheck, who holds the administrative power of Standard Chartered Bank, Standard Chartered Bank's investments would never have been concentrated in these companies whose stock prices were deliberately suppressed by such a coincidence.`
However, Liu Dong is also very lucky. Fortunately, the bank still has a supervisory committee, and the financial power is still in his hands. Moreover, he has already issued an order at the bank's shareholders meeting not to engage in futures trading, otherwise the situation would still be different.
It will be more tragic than now.
"Liu Dong, it's bad! I just received news from the British headquarters of Standard Chartered Bank that President Sally Krawcheck disappeared an hour ago!" Helen, who had just left not long ago, quickly ran away again in a panic.
Come in.
"What? Missing?" Liu Dong suddenly stood up.
"Well! Now the headquarters has reported the case. And the London Police Department has also started to investigate, but there is still no news." Helen nodded vigorously.
"Missing? Haha, this plan is really rigorous. They want to kill me step by step!" While sneering, Liu Dong felt angry and a little bitter at the same time.
In fact, as early as in Paris, because of Cui Dongchen's reminder, Liu Dong had already noticed that Sally Krawcheck was abnormal. But he thought that he was her savior. In addition, Liu Dong had always been grateful to Sally Krawcheck.
Rauchek was able to give up his position at Bank of America to help him stabilize Standard Chartered Bank's move.
Therefore, even though he had doubts in his heart, Liu Dong had no intention of touching the other party when there was no definite evidence. Little did he know that his moment of softness would actually lead to a big mistake.
"Ring ring...!"
At this time, the cell phone in Liu Dong's pocket rang.
As soon as the connection was connected, Feng Jianhui's voice came over, "Chairman, President Krawcheck is missing!"
"I already know! Jianhui, please don't worry about the disappearance for now. Now I appoint you as the president and chief executive officer of Standard Chartered Bank to ensure the stability of the bank!"
"Yes, I understand!" Feng Jianhui was able to distinguish priorities! So after Liu Dong finished speaking, he immediately agreed.`
"Also, I believe you should be aware of it! Our enemy is very powerful this time, so you must be fully prepared." Liu Dong said cautiously.
"Understood! But, Chairman! If we want to survive the crisis this time, we may need a large amount of funds."
"You don't need to worry about funds. I have prepared them in advance! If there is a crisis, I will transfer the money!"
After Liu Donggang finished the phone call with Feng Jianhui, Helen's cell phone rang again.
However, within ten seconds of being connected, the look on her pretty face had already changed drastically.
"Liu Dong, Mr. Cui Dongchen called just now! Mr. Martin Bouygues, chairman of the Bouygues Group, asked why we have signed a contract, but the US$2.5 billion has not been transferred to his company's account? Are we prepared?
Breach of contract?”
"What?"
Liu Dong was shocked by a piece of bad news, and his hatred for Sally Krawcheck deepened.
Even without investigating Liu Dong, it was clear that the money must have been transferred by Sally Krawcheck, who handled the transaction. And Martin Bouygues had called early and late, but he only called now to collect the money.
, it is obvious that the transfer of US$2.5 billion must have something to do with him.
At this time, Liu Dong also recalled a contract detail that Cui Dongchen once mentioned to him.
That was the contract signed between Sally Krawcheck and the Bouygues Group to acquire 21% of Abbey National Bank. The liquidated damages were as high as US$15 billion!
Compared with a transaction of only US$2.5 billion, this liquidated damages is obviously too high.
However, Liu Dong, who was eager to annex Abbey National Bank at the time, did not pay too much attention to the issue of liquidated damages because of the abundant liquidity in his hands.
But now after all these things happened, looking back, Liu Dong suddenly realized that the liquidated damages in this contract was probably the biggest trap.
"Do you really think that after I merged with Unocal, acquired Daewoo Group, and acquired Abbey National Bank, I will have no funds in my hand?" After sneering in his heart, Liu Dong immediately said, "Helen, you call Cui Dongchen immediately and ask him
Tell Martin Bouygues that $2.5 billion in cash will be in his account tomorrow at most!”
"I know!" Helen agreed and quickly left the cabin again.
"Everyone has jumped out! Let me see what kind of methods you have this time!"
The cold, dignified and rich voice echoed in the study room of the yacht.
…
"cheers!"
"Ding……!"
Under the dazzling light, the crystal clear red wine in the beautiful glass was shaken for a while, then everyone put it to their mouths and drank it down.
"Everyone, the first step of our half-year plan has been perfectly realized! This cannot be achieved without everyone's collective efforts. Of course, we especially want to thank Mr. Icahn. Without his help, we would not be able to achieve the current victory. Therefore, I
I would like to propose that everyone raise their glasses again to Mr. Carl Icahn!"
After Luofit Stillman finished speaking, the dozen or so people in suits and ties present raised their glasses together again and glanced at Luofit's side with wary, admiring and respectful eyes. He was wearing a black suit and had a slightly slim face.
The thin, gray-haired old man with a serious expression raised his glass together again.
"Thank you everyone. In fact, today's success belongs to everyone. I just completed what I am good at!" Carl Icahn said calmly in the face of the complicated eyes of everyone.
In fact, as another activist investor on Wall Street who has been dubbed the "corporate sniper" after the "junk securities king" Michael Milken, Carl Icahn has seen this kind of look many times in daily business negotiations.
Along with his success in the financial industry and a series of almost unscrupulous speculative actions, he also has such terrifying names as "speculators", "activist investors" and even "corporate predators" on his head.
Name.
But in Carl Icahn's view, these don't matter. If you want to be successful, how can you not pay a price? Moreover, in his view, successful people are always feared by everyone.
Under the greeting of Rofit, the host of the banquet, after everyone sat down, he still asked: "Mr. Icahn, the next period of time will be the most critical time for this financial war. I don't know if you...?"
Carl Icahn understood what Rofitt meant, and after taking a look at him, he said, "In fact, your preparations have been very thorough. Now the seemingly powerful Standard Chartered Bank has begun to falter! Excessive loans, and
Continuous large-scale mergers and acquisitions have brought their finances to the brink of collapse. The bubble following the successful acquisition of Abbey National Bank has seriously shaken the foundation of Standard Chartered Bank."
"The reason why it has not reached the bottom now is because there has not yet been a critical point for all these contradictions to explode. But if we take the initiative to break these contradictions, we don't need to do much. We just need to use the standard Standard Chartered Bank's securities we hold in our hands.
Sell all the stocks, and then let the media expose the financial difficulties of Standard Chartered Bank, and then the pyramid that has taken away the most important piece of its foundation will collapse!"
"Papa...!"
Under the leadership of Rofit, the small secret conference room burst into applause.
"A very wonderful analysis! ...Everyone, you have heard it! Tomorrow is the time for us to launch the second wave of attack again! Sell all the Standard Chartered stocks in our hands and make a huge profit. At the same time, we will also watch
Until our enemy is defeated. It won’t take long, maybe two weeks, maybe a month, but no more than half a year. We will be able to step on the corpse of Hanhua Group and make our respective companies stronger. So, please
Do your best tomorrow! The harvest time is coming soon!"
