The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 435 I Have a Meeting Too

Western Broncos made a big news. He actually shorted Yahoo, and his method was very domineering. He announced that he would short Yahoo a month in advance, and then he did it when Yahoo’s stock price exceeded 1500 billion US dollars. , All 200 billion stocks were thrown in, and the total market value was abruptly wiped out by 100 billion US dollars.

Such an astonishing move naturally caused the whole world to discuss this young Mr. Swift. At the same time, all those who had invested in Yahoo found themselves facing a choice.

That is to believe in Swift Jr. and follow him to short Yahoo.Either they don't believe in little Swift, take advantage of the opportunity to sell a large number of Yahoo stocks, buy a large number of Yahoo stocks, and then wait for Yahoo to continue to appreciate.

Of course, most people think that Swift Jr. is crazy, so they bought a lot of Yahoo shares when Swift Jr. sold Yahoo shares, which is why the $200 billion stock only wiped out $100 billion in market value, Because there are more funds to take over.

After the market closed, many companies began to review the market in detail and collect statistics, and then found that there are still people who choose to believe in Swift, and almost 100 billion US dollars of funds followed to short Yahoo's stock.

However, this result did not worry those who supported Yahoo, but became even more proud.

Because of this, the total market value of Yahoo’s stocks actually shorted reached 300 billion, but Yahoo’s market value was still only reduced by 100 billion, which shows that a full 200 billion of funds were full of confidence in Yahoo and chose to take over.

What makes supporters even more happy is that after the opening of the second day, Yahoo's stock price started to rise again, and by the time the market closed in the morning, it had risen back to a total market value of 2 billion US dollars, and the distance from breaking through 1, 498 billion US dollars only a mere 1 million.

What does this mean?

This means that more people are full of confidence in Yahoo. For the stock market, the stock price of a stock does not depend on the operating performance of the stock, but on the confidence of investors and institutions in the stock. If you have enough confidence, Yahoo's stock price will never fall.

As a result, Swift’s fund will go bankrupt in three months. This investment company, which once created a 500% rate of return, is about to face a myth-shattering situation after only one year of prosperity.

Black people are indeed fools, they are not qualified to play finance.

But no one knew that little Swift was actually not in the United States at this time, but had come to France, and was beside Huang He, following Huang He's command to control the company.

Originally, Huang He refused to let little Swift come. Isn't it the same to listen to his command by phone in the United States?
But Little Swift refused. This is 200 billion US dollars of funds. When Little Swift issued an order for this fund, his whole heart was trembling. Little Swifts were a little silly when they bought Yahoo stock and then sold it all.

After thinking about it, little Swift decided to stay by the boss's side, because only by staying by the boss's side can little Swift feel a force to support herself.

Well, to put it simply, little Swift is throwing the blame.

But Huang He doesn't care anymore, just come, isn't it just filling the chopsticks?

After all, I also have 100 billion US dollars of funds in the stock market.

You ask where did Huang He get the $100 billion in capital?
Of course, it was in exchange for the stocks in his hands. Huang He still had 20% of Apple stocks and 20% of Google stocks left in his hands. These stocks were all mortgaged to financial institutions by Huang He, who borrowed 100 billion US dollars of funds, and then Then put these funds in and short Yahoo together.

But in this way, Huang He would really be at risk.

Although Swift Jr. has more US$200 billion in funds, it is not Huang He's money after all, but American investors' money.The money was lost, at most, the West Mustang Investment Company went bankrupt, and little Swift disappeared without a trace, but Huang He would not lose a dime.

But if the loss of the 100 billion is heavy, then Huang He himself is losing money, but the expression on Huang He's face is completely indifferent, because it is too clear that Yahoo's good days are over.

Because Google is also going to hold a press conference.

Google's press conference was at noon the day after Yahoo's press conference, which was the noon when Yahoo's total market value stabilized at $1498 billion and then closed.

Unlike Yahoo's previous press conference, which had a large number of people, the number of reporters attending Google's press conference this time was very small, only about [-] or [-] reporters.

At the same time, there was no big media involved, and almost all of them were reporters from small media, which obviously showed that the market did not pay much attention to Google.

In the eyes of the market, with the launch of Yahoo's own search engine, Google can't live for many days, and it will soon be defeated by Yahoo's crush.

Then Google held a press conference.

He attended the podium of the press conference with a blank face, looking at the sparse reporters in the audience, a trace of resentment appeared on his face.

But this resentment soon turned into a trace of joy, and there was even a weird smile on the corner of his mouth.

Then Larry Page began to announce the main content of this press conference, that is, Google announced that it was preparing to list on Nasdaq, and he read Google's prospectus.

If a company wants to go public, it must list an extremely detailed prospectus, from the company's equity distribution, how many shareholders it has, how many employees it has, how much salary it has paid, how many projects it has in hand, how many shares it has, and how many shares it has. How much profit is there per month, and how much market share is there at the same time, all of these must be announced on the prospectus.

All in all, Google is basically showing itself completely to all investors to see clearly and understand.

Hearing that Google was preparing to go public, many journalists at the scene showed expressions of contempt and disdain.

It is not uncommon for Google to want to go public. After all, it is now facing a life-and-death situation. Only by raising a large amount of funds through the listing method can it be possible to get a chance of life, so Larry Page wants to go public. strangeness.

It’s just that no one present is optimistic about Google, thinking that Google is just dying. Even if the prospectus is released now, it may be difficult to achieve the basic goal of going public. This is destined to be a useless struggle.

However, Larry Page was not interested in what the reporters on the scene were thinking. He began to read some important content in Google's prospectus with a blank expression.

At first, these reporters listened a little casually, but soon, they discovered some interesting content.

For example, in Google's current shareholding structure, 20% of the shares belong to an investor named Huang He, and this name sounds like the Chinese Huang He who has been making a fuss in Europe recently.

Immediately, a reporter raised his hand and asked whether this Huang He was the Chinese billionaire Huang He who bought the French royal palace and invited three princesses to act as models on stage.

"I don't know if the Huang He mentioned by Linkou is our shareholder Huang He, I can only tell you that our shareholder Mr. Huang He is a Chinese!" Larry Page said lightly, although he did not admit it personally Huang He's identity, but there is only one Chinese, also known as Huang He, a rich man, so this basically confirms Huang He's identity.

Huang He is actually a shareholder of Google, this is big news! !
The reporters suddenly became enthusiastic, and now Huang He is also very popular in the United States.First of all, the Yellow Crane bought the French palace, which became a very funny smile in the eyes of Americans.

At the same time, Huang He also invited the three princesses to be models. In the eyes of Americans, Huang He may have slept with the three princesses. This news is full of imagination and has aroused the imagination of many American people. Crane naturally became famous in the United States.

"Forget it, for Huang He's sake, let's give Google a news page!" Many reporters muttered, planning to write this article about Google's IPO press conference with Huang He as the theme.

But soon, these reporters found their mistake, because Larry Page quickly introduced to the market share that Google currently has.

"As of July 2003, 7, Google search accounted for 21% of the US search engine market, 88.6% of the European search engine market, 74.2% of the Southeast Asian market, and 92.1% of the Latin American market." Larry Page calmly The declared a data.

"How could it be so high?" And this statistic stunned the reporters on the scene.

They are not interested in the Southeast Asian market and the Latin American market, which are just two small markets. The data they are really interested in are the US market and the European market, which are the two largest online markets in the world.

But Google has 88.6% of the US market and 74.2% of the European market.

Is it possible with this data?

This data must be false. Shouldn’t Yahoo occupy the first position in the market?

This is not the data compiled by Google to defraud investment!

So, a reporter interrupted Larry Page's speech on the spot, and then stood up very simply and asked, "Mr. Page, does your statistical market data include all the search engines in the world?"

"Of course!" Larry Page nodded.

"And Yahoo's search engine as well?" the person asked further.

"As I said, my statistics are as of July 2003, 7, and this date includes all search engines that are in operation on this day!!" Larry Page did not answer this question directly, but as long as As soon as I checked the news, I found out that Yahoo's search engine was opened for use on the entire network on July 21. Although it is only 7 days away from July 16, even if it is only one day ahead, this data also includes Yahoo's search engine of.

In other words, Yahoo's search engine was crushed?

An astonishing answer popped up in everyone's mind.
