Back To 1995: Chapter 522 The world has changed

  Chapter 522 The world has changed

  The two gangs, who were about to fight each other before, suddenly shook hands and made peace, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

The emergence of PayPal is to grab the business of the Bank of America. Everyone knows this, but now, Goldman Sachs, Morgan, and Citigroup, the giants of the American banking industry, suddenly wear a pair of pants with PayPal. What makes people dumbfounded.

Cooperating with one's opponents is rare in the conservative and xenophobic banking industry. You must know that even foreign banks are not pleasing to the eye on Wall Street. UBS, Deutsche Bank and the like will be cleaned up every few days. .

  But this time, actually cooperating with an opponent who was grabbing food from their own bowl, really made many people feel like they have seen each other for a long time.

  The most surprising thing is that Goldman Sachs has also been taken advantage of, and it is an epic takeover, giving PayPal a billion dollars in exchange for a 10% stake in the latter.

This coquettish operation, the several major venture capital investors in Silicon Valley I saw, all call their experts directly. It is impossible to do this kind of operation within ten years of cerebral hemorrhage. Goldman Sachs, who has always been shrewd, took a billion dollars this time to take advantage of it, and let them shout that the world has changed!

  Before when Anran was taken advantage of by PayPal, the outside world could still understand that the two heads of Anran, Kenneth and Jeff Skilling, must have reached a deal with Song Yang.

Last time, Enron gave PayPal a valuation of US$6.4 billion, which was already amazing. At that time, many people scolded Enron for being taken advantage of, but now there is an even more stupid one. , Get started directly with a billion dollars, and what the **** is cash, I'm afraid it's not bad enough to be cheated by PayPal.

  According to the current valuation of PayPal, after the listing, the market value must rise to at least 15 billion dollars, or even 20 billion or more, and the money invested by Goldman Sachs will be able to pay back!

Now, the Silicon Valley Internet company has the highest market value of Yahoo. Since the beginning of this year, Yahoo's market value has soared all the way, and now it has far surpassed its peers such as Netscape and Double-click. After the market value broke 10 billion dollars, it reached 147 100 million US dollars, becoming the most beautiful kid on Nasdaq this year.

  Wall Street, Silicon Valley investment banks, and American state investment institutions are all reporting Yahoo shares, causing Yahoo's stock price to soar. Analysts even estimated Yahoo's market value this year to 30 billion dollars!

When seeing this estimate, some people think that this estimate is too bullshit. How much Yahoo has made this year. Although the revenue has skyrocketed, it is less than 100 million US dollars, only more than 70 million US dollars. , but the market value will soar to 30 billion dollars!

  Originally, some people thought that Yahoo was lying, but after seeing the news of PayPal’s valuation of US$10 billion, many people felt that Yahoo’s market value of US$30 billion was not unacceptable...

   Sure enough, there is no harm if there is no comparison. Whether Yahoo is expensive or not is not decided by Yahoo itself, but by peers. PayPal, which is still losing money anyway, makes Yahoo look like an Internet giant.

  After the news of Wall Street’s partnership with PayPal appeared, the stock prices of a large number of small and medium-sized banks collectively plunged. They, who are cutting leeks in Southeast Asia, would never have imagined that they would be robbed by someone!

   On the other hand, the stock prices of companies related to PayPal have soared, and the one who laughed the loudest was Enron.

  Enron’s stock price is skyrocketing today. Before Enron gave PayPal a valuation of $64, and some people scolded Enron for being taken advantage of, now they are all touting Enron’s wisdom.

"Electronic payment concept stocks" also appeared on Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, JPMorgan, Citigroup and other big banks, and their stock prices soared for the first time. Analysts don't know why they joined forces with PayPal, but they know that it must be profitable.

  Otherwise, how could it be possible for an iron **** who would never let go of a steel coin to willingly cooperate with PayPal.

The electronic payment concept stock also appeared in Song Yang's hands. It is the second concept stock after the "Alcatel mobile phone concept stock". Who knows how those investment banks and analysts played it out? PayPal and Alcatel mobile phone , It is not listed at all, but I don't know if new concept stocks will emerge from Song Yang's side in the future.

   "I knew that guy Song, there must be a way!"

  On a beach in Miami, Kenneth, who was lying under a parasol, threw down the newspaper in his hand, pinched the cheek of the female secretary of the personal life assistant in his arms, and said to Jeff Skilling beside him.

  Like Kenneth, what Jeff Skilling holds in his arms is not his wife who is about the same age as him, but a young model from New York.

  The two of them took a vacation here under the pretense of coming to Miami to investigate business. Not only them, but also Enron's executives, big and small, will relax when they are on business trips.

Jeff Skilling took a sip of his cigar, "I thought he would take care of Wall Street, but I didn't expect that he could fool Paulson too, a billion dollars, I don't know he gave Paulson How much is Paulson, let Paulson dare to play like this!"

They are all from Wall Street, who is cleaner than the other? Jeff Skilling knows the way of Wall Street. He only saw Goldman Sachs's game, and he knew that Paulson was definitely promised by Song Yang, but he didn't know the end How much was given.

   "Regardless of that, the increase in PayPal's valuation is also good for Enron Group, and you don't have to be stared at by those analysts and investment banks anymore!"

  Kenneth said something, and seeing Jeff Skilling gave him a look, Kenneth immediately understood that this is not an occasion for talking, and he will not mention it again.

Enron's accounts are full of flowers, but not everyone believes in Enron Group. There are still many analysts and financial media who have doubts about Enron's financial problems. The various complicated financial methods proposed by Enron are in the eyes of professionals. It all looks suspicious.

   Now Enron is also wary of these analysts and media people, and the valuation of PayPal invested in has soared, which can divert some attention from Enron and let Enron breathe a sigh of relief.

   "However, PayPal's market value has increased, which is indeed good news!"

Jeff Skilling said to Kenneth with a smile, and Kenneth laughed a lot when he heard that, they can all get the equity of PayPal, the higher the market value of PayPal, the more they will naturally get after cashing out, they Cashing out Enron stock is too eye-catching, and you have to issue an announcement to be questioned by the outside world, but you don’t need to care about PayPal cashing out.

  The little model in Jeff Skilling's arms, listening to the words of the two, showed excitement in his eyes, "Song you are talking about is Bruno Song?"

  Jeff Skilling looked at the little model and couldn't help but smile, "Have you heard of him?"

"Of course," the little model suddenly became energetic when he mentioned this, "He is the big boss of Victoria's Secret, ICNC TV, and Western Films, Jeff, help me meet Bruno Song, please, I want to enter Victoria's Secret Supermodel, then It’s a place where models all over the world want to enter!”

  The little model took Jeff Skilling's arm, rubbed his chest against Skilling's arm, pursed his lips, and looked at Skilling expectantly.

When Jeff Skilling heard this, he and Kenneth on the side burst into laughter. He didn't expect that these little models wanted to enter Victoria's Secret so much. Jeff Skilling felt that the Victoria's Secret, The influence of Western Films and the like seems to be beyond imagination.

   "There is a chance," Jeff Skilling thought for a while, looking at the little model in his arms, "When I see Song, I will tell him to let you enter Victoria's Secret!"

Hearing this, the little model immediately jumped into Jeff Skilling's arms excitedly, and gnawed at him. For Skilling, this was just a matter of one sentence, and he knew that Song Yang would definitely not, for this matter, Refuted his face.

But for small models, this may be an opportunity to change their fate, just like following Jeff Skilling, but they only get an extra "pocket money" every month, but if they can become a signed model of Victoria's Secret, even If she is a supermodel, then her worth will be multiplied by more than a hundred times.

  She has heard that Elsa Benitez, who became famous at the Super Bowl and became a top supermodel, now walks in any fashion show and can receive half a million dollars!

It is really a walking money printing machine. Some fashion magazines directly calculated that every step Elsa Benitez took on the runway cost more than 17,000 US dollars, plus advertising, brand Endorsements, etc., Elsa Benitez's ability to absorb money has surpassed the level of Hollywood first-line actresses. In order to create a gimmick, Victoria's Secret also specially protected the value of Elsa Benitez's legs The insurance of 17 million dollars has become a classic rumor in the fashion industry.

As long as it's a model, who doesn't want to become a supermodel like Elsa Benitez? Right now, the little model doesn't say becoming Elsa Benitez, at least she has a chance to know Song Yang and enter Victoria's Secret. willing to miss.

  Some people are happy, while others are sad. While Kenneth and Jeff Skilling are still thinking about how much they can earn on PayPal, some people are in mourning, feeling that they can no longer live.

  The manager of the Alliance Bank, the head of the Bank of Hawaii, the heads of the Hudison Bank, Estor and other banks are holding a conference call.

But there was silence on the phone, and no one spoke for a long time. Finally, the person in charge of a small local bank in New York said, "According to the information I got here, Goldman Sachs is helping PayPal apply for licenses to sell funds, insurance, bonds, etc. If I didn't guess If it is wrong, PayPal will help Goldman Sachs sell funds and other products in the future!"

   "Damn it, a bunch of vampires!"

  A person in charge of the bank couldn't help cursing on the phone. In the past, those users were doing this and that, but now they are scolding.
