Back To 1995: Chapter 356 Performance
Chapter 356 Acting
Hearing this suddenly, Eric couldn't help being stunned for a moment, not knowing what Song Yang meant.
New York, inside the Creamer Hedge Fund Company, Creamer, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, was sitting in a brand-new office, overlooking New York behind him. At this time, Creamer inexplicably remembered the scenes in Hollywood movies, as if the whole New York was dormant He's underfoot, he's the king of New York!
In less than a month, the size of Creamer's hedge fund has swelled like a snowball. Originally, the size of Creamer's hedge fund was not large, only less than 150 million US dollars, but now , The hedge fund managed by Creamer has already exceeded 800 million US dollars. If leverage is used, the funds mobilized can be multiplied several times!
During this period of time, the group of billionaires in New York are lining up to send money to Creamer, just to be able to join the hedge fund managed by Creamer, even though Creamer’s fees are scary high, 2.5% The annual fee plus 25% of the net profit share, this kind of charging standard has far exceeded the standard of Wall Street, and has reached the charging standard of Soros and Carl Icahn!
Of course, Creamer is also setting an example. He is going to make a big deal, mortgage his entire net worth, even his villa in New York, and then join the hedge fund.
Creamer's actions made the old money in New York and even the American states flock to him even more. If he was not sure enough, how could Creamer bet his house on it, so the people who invested in Creamer , They all look forward to Creamer, thinking that Creamer can bring them a high enough return.
In private, Creamer made promises to a few sports stars, real estate, and even some special people. The annual return rate was 40%, and the net profit after tax was 28%, which is the top group on Wall Street. Agency managers dare not make promises. This time, Creamer can be said to be fighting with his back to the wall.
"Director Carl Icahn's call!"
The assistant's words interrupted Creamer's thoughts, and Creamer secretly heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that the wait was finally over.
The caller was from Icahn Company. When he heard the voice on the phone, when Icahn Company wanted to join Creamer's plan this time, Creamer couldn't help showing a smile on his face.
But then, when he heard that Carl Icahn was only willing to give 20 million US dollars, Creamer couldn't help laughing. This was far from his expectations.
"I need Director Carl Icahn on the phone, or I need to visit him in person!" Creamer said into the phone.
The person on the other end of the phone said to Creamer unhurriedly, "This is what Carl Icahn meant. If needed later, Icahn will increase investment. Carl Icahn's board of directors will cooperate with Creamer. Mr. Rimmer's side."
The corner of Creamer's mouth twitched, showing a look of disdain, and cursed the old fox in his heart. He felt that the older Carl Icahn was, the less courageous he was. He saw what Carl Icahn meant, and he wanted to wait and see. Fan, still worried about him.
If the situation is good, Carl Icahn will rush in to get a piece of the action. If the situation is not right, then Carl Icahn must run away directly.
However, no matter how dissatisfied he was with Carl Icahn, Creamer didn't dare to show it. He needed Carl Icahn's support and used Carl Icahn's fame and influence on Wall Street to do things.
"Please thank Mr. Carl Icahn for me. After this plan is over, I will definitely visit Mr. Carl Icahn again. I saw a painting by Paul Cézanne at the auction, and I will give it to Carl together." Mr. Icahn, as a gift!"
Creamer hung up the phone and scolded Carl Icahn a few words, but it would not help if he scolded again at this time. After thinking for a while, Creamer decided to make a move. With the cooperation of Carl Icahn, if the funds If it is not enough, Creamer is going to find a Wall Street institution to borrow another sum.
In the Icahn Company in Manhattan, Carl Icahn just laughed when he heard that Creamer wanted to give him Paul Cézanne's paintings. He was naturally aware of Creamer's tricks. Carl Icahn expressed dissatisfaction.
In recent years, it has been a hot spot for art collections. Famous paintings can often fetch sky-high prices. Paul Cézanne is a master of Impressionism. When the auction starts, the price is often tens of millions of dollars. Creamer wants to give it to Carl E. Kan's words like this are to express that he is not short of money, and Carl Icahn is a bit too picky, even timid.
"Bruno Song, what's the news?" Carl Icahn asked his subordinates about Song Yang's news.
Carl Icahn's assistant shook his head, "The media reported that he was a guest at an NCAA baseball game in San Jose. His investment in Victoria's Secret sponsored the Super Bowl and became a halftime show."
Hearing Song Yang's side, there was almost no movement, as if he didn't pay attention to the changes in New York, which made Carl Icahn frown.
"Where are other Wall Street companies, is there any new cooperation with Double-Click?" Carl Icahn asked again.
The assistant shook his head, looked at the frowning Carl Icahn, and couldn't help saying, "Perhaps Bruno Song and Double-click Company didn't notice Creamer's actions at all?!"
"After all, the actual level of the professional managers in America is not as good as they boast."
The assistant mocked the professional managers in America. Carl Icahn is qualified to play with many giant companies in America. He looked down on those professional managers. Influenced by Carl Icahn, people from Icahn Company, Most of the professional managers with high salaries and aloofness in the past have a sneer attitude, thinking that most of them are just empty charts.
"Hopefully," said Carl Icahn, frowning, "if Creamer makes it, if he fails..."
"Without my order, Icahn is not allowed to make a dollar, and do double-clicking!"
Carl Icahn made a special statement to his subordinates. Carl Icahn feels that Double-Click Company is too "calm" now. No news has come out. Either Double-Click Company is not prepared at all, or it is calm. Under the water, something is being prepared. Carl Icahn wants to find some old buddies to find out some news.
After tidying up his clothes again, Creamer glanced at the figure in the mirror, and then walked outside. The media who received the notification had already gathered in front of Creamer's hedge fund office.
"Please be quiet, everyone!"
After Creamer appeared, he pressed his hands down, and the scene fell silent for a while. Seeing this scene, Creamer showed a little smile on his face. He liked the feeling of controlling the audience.
The media and reporters present all looked at Creamer expectantly. When Creamer suddenly found so many media, the media and reporters present all looked at Creamer expectantly.
"I'm here today, and what I want to say is very simple, I don't think double-clicking the company's stock price is worth twenty dollars at all!
There is only one way to save DoubleClick, and that is for Bruno Song to leave DoubleClick with his management. "
Creemer pointed to the double-click company stock price on a screen, and said to the media present that the repurchase during this period has brought the double-click company's stock price to around $19, a record high.
But now, Creamer pointed to the double-click stock price on the screen and said, double-click is not worth the price at all.
"I hope that all Double-Click investors can stand up and say no to the Double-Click Board of Directors. For this reason, I will stand with all Double-Click investors until the moment of victory!"
The reporters present frantically pressed the shutter of the camera to record this scene. Everyone knew that Creamer was going to make trouble.
Crimer's words were quickly reported by major financial media. Almost immediately after Creamer's words, it was visible to the naked eye that the double-click company's stock, which was launching an impact towards the price of 20 dollars, immediately fell in response!
However, unlike other companies whose stock prices fell, after Double-click the company's stock price fell, they heard a burst of cheers from the Nasdaq trading floor!
After Creamer's speech, James Chanos' Knicks Joint Fund, followed closely, announced to lower the stock price of Double-click Company. For Double-click's stock price, it was only three dollars!
Not only Chanos, but also many small and medium-sized Wall Street institutions at the same time, quite tacitly, announced the "downgrade" of Double-click Company, not optimistic about the future of Double-click Company, and even had direct risk warnings.
What really added fuel to the fire was Icahn, which also suddenly released a research report, claiming that it was not optimistic about the future of Double-click, and publicly declared that it was dissatisfied with Double-click's board of directors!
Unlike Creamer, Carl Icahn has been on Wall Street for decades and has never been defeated. How many giant companies have fallen under Carl Icahn's iron hoof, and now Carl Icahn is also dissatisfied with Double-Click Company up.
Carl Icahn's voice was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Double-clicking the company's stock price began to plummet, tens of millions of dollars, and the stock price that was only pulled up instantly plummeted from the price of $19 to $19. Under $10!
The entire Nasdaq Internet companies watched this scene dumbfounded. Companies such as Netscape, Yahoo, Lycos, AOL, etc. all began to look at Creamer squarely.
The entire Silicon Valley began to be filled with a tense atmosphere. A single sentence made Double-Click company tens of millions in vain. Other Internet companies also began to worry about whether they would be targeted by Creamer and become the next target.
Double-clicking inside the company is filled with a sense of despondency. The employees who have been allocated equity rewards can't help but start to worry, whether the equity rewards in their hands have not had time to redeem them will become a piece of waste paper!
In the face of the violent stock price, Double-click urgently issued a statement, claiming that there was no problem, and issued a statement for the first time, asking "certain" institutions on Wall Street to stop shorting Double-click, and then Double-click's board of directors announced again that the major shareholder, the American Global Investment Foundation , will invest another 10 million US dollars to repurchase shares.
But at this time, it seems that it has been of no help. Short double-click seems to have become a "feast". After the announcement, the stock price of double-click can be maintained at around $9.
But in the end, Creamer once again shouted through the media, "Double-click is only one week away from being delisted, and there is only one week left for Bruno Song!"
After Creamer shouted, when the market closed, Double-Click Company dived again.
