Global Monopoly of Technology

With the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the financial tsunami triggered by the United States began to sweep the world, and now the headlines around the world are four words - financial crisis.

Or another major news is the news of various interest rate cuts and market rescue actions by major seedling companies.

For a time, the whole world was overshadowed by the financial tsunami that swept across North America, and almost everyone was inevitably exposed to the tragic picture of the Great Depression in the 1930s.

...

At the end of September, the Science and Technology Complex Building.

At this moment, Luo Sheng and An Qingxue are supporting each other, simulating an offense and defense drill. This is a battle of offense and defense, and a protracted battle. Luo Sheng personally led countless elite soldiers to launch violent attacks against the opponent's gates again and again. The attack was repeated, and his momentum was like a rainbow. Even if he fought until dawn, he would never stop until the city was broken.

But at this time, a phone call suddenly came in at night, which made Luo Sheng very upset.

Annoying.

Luo Sheng picked up the phone and wanted to hang up directly, but when he saw the caller ID, he had to call out his troops temporarily.

"Shh~"

Luo Sheng made a mute gesture, and then answered the phone.

The person who called was Zhang Bowen. Lao Zhang had arrived in the United States three days ago. If Bluestar Technology Group wants to start the process of repurchasing shares, it needs an important person in the United States to avoid the impact of jet lag. .

After all, what's going on right now is an hour difference that could make a huge difference.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Bowen's voice entered Luo Sheng's ears.

"Mr. Luo, is the telephone communication reliable?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng motioned An Qingxue to bring him a laptop, but after a while, Luo Sheng worked on it for a while, and then replied: "I have encrypted the communication channel, it is safe and reliable, what is going on? Say it."

Zhang Bowen seems to have heard from this statement that most of his bosses have something to do, so he went straight to the point and said: "I just received reliable news here that the US House of Representatives rejected the $700 billion rescue plan, resulting in a sharp drop in per share and the Dow Jones index leaking wildly. 777 points, the biggest drop ever, with a single-day drop of 7%, the biggest drop since the global stock market crash in 1987, and the current market confidence is extremely fragile. "

Just days after Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, North American authorities submitted a bill to Congress to rescue the financial system, and the Treasury Department would be authorized to buy up to $700 billion in distressed mortgage assets.

Americans hope to solve all problems in about two years to achieve economic recovery, and even more hope to solve this problem before it affects a large area or even a comprehensive impact on the real economy, so as to avoid a situation like the 1930s. The Great Depression.

And just last week, the finance ministers of the G7 group of seven countries held telephone consultations with the presidents of major seedling banks. The result was that other members of the G7 refused to participate in the US financial rescue plan.

Subsequently, the largest savings and loan bank in the United States was seized and taken over by the North American Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, becoming the largest bank failure in the history of the United States. After that, Zhang Bowen said just now that the House of Representatives of the United States rejected the 700 billion bailout plan.

Luo Sheng thought for a moment and then decisively replied: "Don't wait any longer, this is the last good opportunity,

The 700 billion US dollars... I estimate that the old and the United States should still open the floodgates and immediately announce the repurchase plan. The 11.5 billion US dollars will complete all transactions within the last three days, preferably in one day. "

Zhang Bowen: "Understood."

The U.S. House of Representatives has just rejected this rescue plan, but Luo Sheng knows that this plan will be passed in the end. , I have to swallow this bitter fruit with tears.

As soon as the communication ended, Luo Sheng threw his phone aside, and the battle resumed.

Introducing countless elite soldiers to attack the city again, passing through the first line of natural danger, this place is really a heroic pass, and it is said that one man should be a pass away, but Luo Sheng, who has experienced hundreds of battles, is not afraid at all, and even single-handedly drives straight into the tiger's den.

After passing through the first-line natural danger, the opponent set up an ambush here, and adopted the strategy of water attack with its terrain, intending to catch the turtle in the urn.

At that time, despite the monstrous flood, he did not give up, and even attacked Luo Sheng from both sides.

After a hundred battles, there are times when the car overturns. Luo Sheng is careless, and eventually hundreds of millions of elite soldiers are wiped out here.

Luo Sheng recharged his energy and wanted to regroup and fight again, and he must be overcome in battle.

Failure is not terrible, giving up is shameful.

...

It is said that the Eastern Hemisphere is now at night, while the Western Hemisphere is full of daylight. Zhang Bowen is in New York at the moment. After finishing the phone call with Luo Sheng, he is not idle. The repurchase funds have already been distributed to multiple accounts. With his words, the transaction can begin immediately.

Half an hour later, under the leadership of Zhang Bowen, he held a temporary press conference on behalf of Bluestar Technology Group in Manhattan, New York, officially announcing that the company would spend 11.5 billion US dollars to start the repurchase process.

At the same time he made the announcement, funds from dozens of trading accounts began pouring into the stock market, plundering “BTC” stocks.

As soon as the news broke the trading code of "****TC", it immediately rebounded, and the stocks that had been falling sharply suddenly rose against the trend.

Many people who received the news made the first move, intending to make a lot of money.

When the stock sells, the stock price will fall; otherwise, it will rise. This is the basic law of the market.

But this is a test of the ability of the trader. For speculators who make quick money, blood gain and blood loss may only determine the result in seconds.

This is the first time that Bluestar Technology Group has repurchased shares since its listing, and it is a large-scale repurchase. A huge amount of 11.5 billion US dollars has been invested in the stock market. The North American authorities are happy to see this happen. It's pleasing to the eye, especially since it took seven or eight billion dollars from Wall Street's stingy bankers some time ago.

But suddenly at this time, Lao Mei felt that Luo Sheng was still so pleasing to the eye.

Although the amount of funds of more than 10 billion cannot play a decisive role in the financial system that is in serious trouble at the moment, it certainly does.

In fact, other funds have also been leveraged to enter.

Without him, many people can't understand Luo Sheng's operations. This time, he actually went against the trend. He also couldn't understand the outside world. to the end.

With US$11.5 billion invested, Bluestar Technology Group successfully repurchased 9.67% of its shares, or about 150 million shares. The repurchased shares were not cancelled, but retained and became the company's "treasury shares". At the same time, Zhang Bowen published in the media It was also disclosed at the meeting that this part of the repurchased shares will be used for employee benefits and incentive plans including but not limited to the company, or for emergency use.

It's just a response to the outside world. The board of directors has the final say on what to do with it, and the board of directors Luo Sheng has the final say.

At the after-hours trading price that day, Bluestar Technology Group's "BTC" stock rose from $68 per share to $118.6 billion in market value.

At its peak, it hit USD per share.

Obviously, some people made a lot of money in stocks during this time period, and some people must have lost money. It is impossible for the market to make money. If you make money, you must lose money.

But it doesn't matter to Bluestar Technology Group, no matter how turbulent the financial market is or returns to normal, after Bluestar Technology completes the repurchase plan, the next thing to do is to develop steadily.

As for the chaos here, you don't need to mix it up, and you don't need to pay too much attention.

...

Wall Street, informal meeting within Goldman Sachs Group.

In a European-style room, Goldman's then-head Lloyd Blankfein, group president Gary Cohn and co-chief operating officer Jon Winkreed were gathered here.

"There are no parameters to analyze, no mathematical models to refer to, but this is what is happening. He spent $11.5 billion to buy back shares, and Goldman Sachs followed suit with 26 million shares." Jon Winkreid He shrugged.

Right now, what they are talking about is about Luo Sheng and the buyback of Bluestar Technology Group.

This is a big event-driven effect in the international financial market.

Winkreed added with emotion: "This young Chinese IT giant is really unique, the best analysts on Wall Street can't understand him, and a series of actions are so abnormal, no matter how you analyze and research, No matter how much data you collect, you can't figure out what's really going on in his head, but he won without exception, and that's the most amazing thing."

It is precisely because of Luo Sheng's inability to see through and he is always a winner that Goldman Sachs Group also "risked" to spend $2 billion this time. The team lineup is extremely strong, but this investment in following up with Luo Sheng seems a bit blind, and it really follows Luo Sheng's style in a hurry.

No way, Luo Sheng's previous record is too sturdy, and the returns are even more eye-catching. This time he played so much, Goldman Sachs was afraid that he would lose money, but he also missed the opportunity.

In fact, not only Goldman Sachs, but also most institutions on Wall Street are studying Bluestar Technology Group. The most obvious and intuitive information from this round of buyback plan is that Luo Sheng firmly believes that his company will be able to return to its peak and even create even bigger in the future. of brilliance.

This is understandable, otherwise what would he spend more than ten billion dollars buying back the company's stock? A move to restore market and investor confidence?

Stop kidding, only fools believe this.

You can spend other people's money at will, but spending your own money is different. Besides, Luo Sheng not only spends his own money, but also borrows a lot of money, so there must be other reasons.

In the eyes of Wall Street, Luo Sheng is a shrewd person who is as shrewd as they are, and there must be a profit in it.

"What I'm more interested in is, where did the money he once cashed out go to?" the head of Goldman Sachs suddenly said.

"Our people have been investigating, trying to find out the specific whereabouts of his funds, but we haven't figured it out yet..." Cohen said helplessly. There are many ways for a super rich to hide his legal wealth intentionally. It is very difficult to find out the specific whereabouts of the circulation, because the vast majority of rich people do this.

And there are some things that you can get even if you know how to do it, but no one dares to touch it, because touching it means touching the vested interests of countless people. It's only small, it's really urgent. When the time comes, everyone will hurt each other and expose each other's bottom line. This is a very terrifying thing.

So for some things, everyone has reached a tacit consensus that whoever touches it will definitely be the one who dies first.

No one wants to be a martyr. This is the inevitable result of human selfishness.

"It's not that he didn't get anything. We still had a low-key visit to New York last year. Our investigation found that he had been in contact with several major hedge funds, but there was no way to know what he did. Those hedge funds also refused to disclose to us. More news," Cohen added.

As soon as these words came out, Lloyd Blankfein became very interested and asked concisely, "Which fund?"

Cohen said immediately: "It is this subprime mortgage crisis that has made a lot of money for the Paulson hedge fund, and a dozen other investment funds."

When Luo Sheng came to New York, although he only gave money to two funds, he actually met more than a dozen investment funds during his ten-day trip to the United States. cautious.

Everyone looked at each other, and Cohen's answer moved the head of Goldman Sachs, while Jon Winkreed was surprised: "God, don't tell me he even predicted this? I don't believe it! I Absolutely don't believe it! I don't believe it if you kill me! Only God can do such a thing! And we are all mortals!"
