Reborn American Tycoon
Page 102
As for the Gallic rooster and the Germans, they are already mad, and Maozi's troops are gathering. According to the news from there, there are at least 30 people participating in the exercise.
Everyone's system is different. There are not many soldiers in Europe. Unless it is in a state of war, let alone 30, [-] is enough.
In such a tense situation, the performance of the stock market can be imagined, and there is a super big short, so don't live too sourly that day.
William White is like a hammer now, anyway, it just hits once, and if it doesn't work once, try again.
Don't even mention it, the old guy from Citigroup is really about to cry because of such unreasonable tossing.
Someone said, the author is talking nonsense, Citigroup's assets are over [-] billion, how could it care about hundreds of millions of dollars.
Well, let me explain here that short selling stocks is leveraged. You have a capital of [-], and you can sell stocks worth millions. Of course, the premise is that the broker is willing to lend you so much.
William White's credit is very strong, and the brokerage is eager for this stock to explode. If you can't cover it in time, you will go to jail for naked short selling.
Don’t forget that William White is just a big short, not the biggest short. There are many predators active in the market. His method of operation may not be able to make money, but the destruction is definitely enough.
When William White shorted a stock or stocks, there was always a group of guys who followed suit, and the most hateful thing was that this guy didn't hide his goal at all.
It's useless to cover up. His goal is Citi's holding company, and he doesn't expect to suppress much at once. Anyway, he will run away after a toss, and if he has a chance, he will do it again.
"Boss, it seems that something is not going well recently. Citigroup has raised a lot of funds."
"Haha, Filson, how much did we lose?"
"$5000 million is less than a little bit."
"Well, we won't play anymore, so let's accept it when it's good."
"Ok, boss"
Alas, for William White, he is not yet someone's opponent. As long as Citigroup starts to get serious, he will definitely be unlucky.
"Boss, he, they seem to be quiet."
"what?"
"Maybe feel something."
He opened his posture and was about to enter the bridal chamber, but suddenly found that the bride was a man, or that kind of thick-skinned, even if he wanted to take the dry road, this road was blocked!
There is no need to explain too much about how greasy and crooked this kind of rush is. In just a few days, three ashtrays were broken, and there is no need to mention other things.
"Boss, are you really planning to build a car?"
"Why not? Cars are still very profitable."
"Pfft, I don't study much, don't tease me, the car companies in the United States are almost doomed, if there is no government subsidy, they probably would have closed their doors long ago."
"Haha, they are idiots. If you want to move the foot basin car factory to Detroit, it will close down in half a year at most."
"Anyway, I don't care, order one for me first."
"Well, I see, there is still more than a year to go, it can't be faster."
William White's two car companies are actually expanding, which makes people stunned. You can build a few cars yourself, do you need to make it so big?
William White is gone, he doesn't plan to stay in London anymore, Maozi's missiles are generally not very accurate, and one's carelessness may really kill one's life.
The fighting nation really didn't blow it out. People really don't care if it's a civil aviation aircraft. The exercise is less than a month away. It's better to sneak away. It's still very dangerous in case of a test shot or something.
Chapter 215 Warner Ready to Cut Meat
The fierce competition in the electronics industry has far exceeded the imagination of the people who eat melons. A company with annual sales of one billion dollars is actually on the verge of bankruptcy.
To say that Warner is still a big business, a little less strength may be over.
Now no one is talking about Warner, who is one size smaller. William White has all the things you have, and they are better than you.
The time left for them is really running out. It is one way to completely fall into the world of legends, and selling directly to William White is another option.
Don't be surprised, after changing the CEO, although the relationship between the two companies is not harmonious, it is no longer hostile.
In fact, many people understand the routine played by William White. After eating the fattest piece of profit, the legendary world is not bad. People don’t care about the life and death between you.
As for the development of a new system, Atari may have such a plan, and Warner will never do it. The 2600 has already spent more than 1 million yuan, and now it is barely paying back. If it throws another [-] million yuan, it is estimated that the board of directors will Noisy.
"What? Are you sure?"
"Yes, boss, they are willing to sell as a whole."
"Tsk tsk, the company is too big, why do I need so many people?"
"We refuse?"
"I can't afford it. They can develop new games. Our system is much better. They can also buy our production license."
"Okay, boss, I'll reply to them."
"Well, if they have the production capacity, they can help me produce 50 game consoles, and the acquisition is fine. I don't like factories."
William White is really not interested in buying the mess of Atari. They are not dead yet, and they need at least [-] million dollars.
As for whether it’s a good deal or not, it depends on your point of view. A year ago, a billion dollars was considered a cheap sale. As for now?Five hundred million US dollars is not very cost-effective.
If William White had a factory in the United States, this acquisition would be more appropriate.Atari's programming team is not bragging, there are far more people than Legendary World, and the technical level is much higher.
The crux of the problem is that it is useless no matter how many people you program. Games are related to the size of their brains. If there is no suitable game plan, no matter how good the programming level is, it will be for nothing.
Warner is planning to cut the meat, but William White doesn't want to expand his family's business.
"Boss, they refused, it's not about the price, it should be the damn reason."
"Tsk, if you don't like factories so much, why do you want to build a car factory?"
The old guy actually thought too much, the scale of the car factory, compared with Atari, the staff is much smaller.
Morgan Stanley knew that William White wanted an IPO, so there was no need to say anything about money.As one of the shareholders of Legendary World, they understand the company's situation very well. In their view, this acquisition is excellent. It would be better if it is packaged and listed. Anyway, it is all shareholders' money, so there is no big deal.
"Is it really just because of the guild?"
"I'm afraid not. According to outside legends, the added value of this game console is too low. There is no need to produce it in the United States. If possible, they would prefer to process it in a backward area."
Added value too low?
The old guy can only choke silently, do you even know what the average profit margin of the industry is now, these things of yours have far exceeded this standard.
How could you be dissatisfied?
If you compare it with other companies, this is of course the conclusion, but if you compare it with William White's own company, these game consoles are really nothing.
This is where the conflict between the investment bank and the founder lies. It is the investment bank’s first choice to expand the market. The decline in gross profit margin is not considered at all. You are not a mature company, and high growth is the most deceptive.
This year's revenue is 15 million, and next year's best is [-] billion. Even if the profit is [-] million US dollars, they will definitely choose the latter.
What William White did seemed stupid to them.
What the hell is a license to sell?
Although this money is very profitable, it has given up a very important indicator. If all products are OEM, the revenue will increase by at least five times.
In their view, William White's brain circuit is abnormal, and for a company that is going to IPO next year, the bigger the revenue figure, the better.
It has to be said that they thought too much. How could William White not understand this simple truth. It is very difficult for those foot basin manufacturers to launch their own branded game consoles before June next year.
Legendary World's orders are very large, and it is difficult for them to judge the market's ability to bear them. They will wait until the order is completed before producing. Legendary World's stock will be listed in the morning.
People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. This sentence is very reasonable. William White's fat pig is so fat that he just wants to come up and take a bite.
William White doesn't care about the situation of Morgan Stanley. This is a reasonable request of the shareholders, and everyone's interests are the same. Even if he disagrees, he will not speak ill of each other.
A bunch of consortiums are actually very painful. Investing in William White's company has already made them a small fortune, but they want to earn more, so they persuade Warner to cut the meat.
Warner knew very well that William White might be the only one capable of taking over Atari. Although the negotiation failed this time, it was not all fruitless.
At least one point, William White was showing his favor, and didn't want to fight Warner to the end.
Well, the mess left by the predecessor is too bad. Judging from the current situation, it is obviously not William White's responsibility.
In the elite class of the United States, William White can be described as mixed, some people like him, and naturally some people hate him.
Those who have the same ambitions are that this guy is definitely not easy to mess with, and he is very narrow-minded, and has never been wrong with people.
Lucas is an obvious example. For the investment in the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, William White obviously made a wedding dress, but have you seen him go crazy?
Not at all!
Instead of becoming rivals with Lucas, they had many cooperations.
Is there really only one special effects company?
Don't be kidding, the success of Industrial Light and Magic is all caused by Star Wars. William White, who was cheated once, doesn't seem to care.
From this point, it can be seen that don't play those shady activities, people really don't care much about gains and losses.
The consortium no longer uses the trick of knocking and negotiating. This kind of pressure is not very useful for William White. You might as well have a good talk with him, maybe you will get good results.
As for the hard-working Citigroup, no one cares about their feelings. You want to eat alone, and you are blinded. If you dare to interfere with next year's IPO, it is almost inevitable that you will be attacked by the crowd.
You can't even deal with a little guy, and you dare to talk about the No. [-] investment bank.
Well, it really didn't take long for this first place. Although everyone knows that Citigroup will recover soon, so what, the bosses of this year may not have a few days to live happily ever after.
Of course, William White has also been criticized by many people. Your methods are too fucked up, and you can still come up with tricks for blackouts. This is not something to be encouraged.
Of course, Citigroup is also going too far. It is not impossible to lend to Tuao. What do you mean by keeping the interest rate so low?
Do something?
Well, you made it.
Chapter 216 The Uncooperative Hasbro
Citigroup and William White's dispute is aptly described as a lose-lose situation.
On the surface, Citigroup lost more market value, while William White lost real money.The market value lost by Citigroup has slowly narrowed, and the dollars lost by William White have all been wiped out.
People who eat melons will say that Citigroup has won a big victory, but the consortium has a different view. They know very well that William White's purpose is to deter, and the target is them.
Don't act rashly. This is what they think now. From this point of view, William White actually won. He not only dared to dye your dog green, but also dared to make your building lose communication and electricity.
No one is willing to bear this kind of tearing at all costs. In their view, it may not be so cheap next time, and it may be a bloody conflict.
Of course, bloody conflicts don't matter, as long as there is no bloodshed in one's own family, other people's children will never end.
"Boss, this is a toy that was just delivered."
"Well, it seems to be better."
After a while of chirping and chattering, William White was quite satisfied, and the little assistant didn't understand, this thing looks so stupid, your robot is a robot, what the hell is it turning into a car.
"Suzuki, let them go to production, the delivery must not be delayed."
"Okay, boss."
William White was very troublesome. He really didn't have the right manpower. The comic companies in the foot basin complained that they were indeed not very good at toys.
"Boss, Hasbro has no intention of selling, they want to license the toys."
"Oh, Filson, tell me if what they want is a Transformer?"
"Yes, Saint Seiya and the others are also interested. By the way, besides them, there is Mattel."
"Oh, Mattel, I can't afford it. Forget it, let's wait and see. Or you can pay attention to smaller toy companies. They can no longer use footbaths. This will affect the progress of the comics."
"Okay, boss."
In William White's view, Hasbro is a street product. In the current business environment, what does it mean to refuse an acquisition?
I have to say, someone's vision is too high, why don't you buy Lego?
Laomei's toys are a big industry. There are not only Mickey Mouse and Barbie My Little Pony here, but any toy is a business worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
It is telling that few toy companies have failed in such a dire economic environment.
In William White's view, if you protect your intellectual property, these things can make a lot of money.
China is a big toy-producing country, but it is not a big toy country. It is not very profitable to produce this thing, and the final retail price may be twenty times the ex-factory price.
Although Laomei's toy companies are very profitable, they are not the most profitable. These guys like Disney are the most profitable.
Everyone knows that Disney in the foot basin makes money. They earn more than just tickets, stationery, watches, dolls, and the prices are not very expensive. These things are the most profitable.
Well, you said the Celestial Dynasty.
Forget it, it’s still tickets and food. This is the same as cheap travel. The price is a little more than 1000. If you go on a five-day tour of Xiangjiang, it’s unreasonable for people not to take you shopping.
In a sense, this is called a shopping group and has nothing to do with a tourist group.
