Chapter 259: A loss of forty points?
There are not many people in the world who will always maintain the mentality that the overall situation is more important than anything else.
Without affecting one's own interests, a high-level stance is more important.
For example, Li Yuan, if he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to eat, he would be willing to take the job if someone hired internet trolls to discredit his country.
But he was full and satisfied, so when he saw the internet trolls trying to smear his country, he decisively fought back.
These are all human nature.
Of course, as for those vested interests who are still smearing others, we can only say that they are born to be cheap.
The same is true for Pioneer Capital at this time.
There are interests behind America, so they must naturally be protected.
Who are you when maintaining America conflicts with your own interests?
Although Li Yuan is like a foreign bandit who has humiliated American capital time and time again with his actions, now that their own interests have been actually affected, they naturally will not think about sniping Li Yuan anymore.
Even if Sky Capital offered a sky-high price, they absolutely could not let Redneck Capital succeed.
After all, although the chips in their hands seem to be profitable on the surface, they cannot actually sell them in the short term.
The original plan was to sell one-third of the shares at a high price after two months of sideways trading, so that the investment would have been recovered.
But it’s no longer possible now. It’s unclear how many chips Li Yuan still has in his hand, and there is no hope that the stock price will rise.
There is no so-called stance when it comes to interests.
As long as you can make money, there is nothing wrong with doing business with your enemies.
So, they decisively called Li Yuan.
However, the call did not go through, so they had to settle for the next best thing and called Sky Capital.
This time the call was connected, but unfortunately I didn't have the ability to make the decision and could only ask them to give a quote.
They knew that this matter could only be resolved by discussing it with Li Yuan in person.
In order to wait for Li Yuan to wake up, they stayed up all night...
…
When Li Yuan woke up at around three o'clock in the afternoon, he was told about this.
Chen Jie said, "Pioneer Capital calls me almost every half an hour. Do you want to talk to them?"
"Well, I'm still inclined to sell it to them."
"Why?"
"Because that group of redneck capitalists can't make it big! If they don't cooperate with those financial groups, they won't even have to spend much money on these 17% of the shares. I will stop if they make $400 million or $500 million. To put it bluntly, those guys are cowardly and have no ability to make money. Although the Pioneer Capital financial group is also a profiteer, at least they have the ability to make money and they have the guts."
Chen Jie wondered, "In this case, you should cooperate with Redneck Capital. After all, Pioneer Capital will become your rival in the future."
Li Yuan smiled, "Yes, but such enemies are always better than cowardly enemies. In the financial market, being cowardly means having no money. Let Pioneer Capital make more money, so that they will have the confidence to fight me in the future. I let Redneck Capital make money this time, but it is useless to me. Those guys are also not friends. Even the money they make may not stay in the financial market."
Li Yuan's purpose of making money in the financial market is to subsidize the domestic market. He needs a rival like Pioneer Capital. Without a rival, it would be very difficult to make profits in the short term.
When it comes to gambling, there’s no one at the table, so you can only play games against the system. Not only is it risky, but you also don’t make any money.
It is much easier to analyze a dozen opponents than to analyze countless possibilities.
Sure enough, within two minutes, Pioneer Capital called.
After Li Yuan started to speak, Richie immediately said politely: "Mr. Li Yuan, it's so kind to hear your voice. You know, we need to have a good talk now."
Li Yuan said, "I'm sorry, I think we have nothing to discuss anymore, because the offer from other investors is very satisfactory to me, and I'm ready to make a deal with them."
"NO, NO, NO, Mr. Li Yuan, the other party's offer is not sincere. It is far less sincere than our Pioneer Capital."
"Really? Others offered a 40% discount..."
"We can do that, too, and we can do the deal right away."
They were not in a hurry to get the chips. If the price drops a little more today, the price will be even lower then.
But the problem is that they cannot guarantee that the redneck capital will stop.
Time is not on their side, so they have to race against time.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have given you a 70% discount. It's really too late now. I still know the rules. If the price is the same, time is the priority. The other party agreed earlier, so... I'm sorry, Mr. Richie, we still have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
Li Yuan's words were like a finishing blow to the other party.
By cutting their spending by 70%, they can save more than a billion dollars.
"No, no, no, it's still not too late. Although we're a little late, we can offer a higher price! How about a 41% discount?"
…
Yao Yingsong did not sleep and was now sitting in the office, drinking strong tea to suppress his sleepiness.
He doesn't have time to sort out the financial statements today because Li Yuan wants to sell Nvidia's stock.
This hot potato is finally going to be sold, and he plans to prepare the report after all the data is settled.
After all, the previous data were really nothing impressive, and Li Yuan has been rather calm during this period.
He believed that his leaders would also be excited to see that Nvidia's stock could be sold.
As for negotiating the price, he gradually lost the opportunity to do so.
After all, the goal set by Li Yuan was too high. When he first talked to Pioneer Capital, the other party directly called him a lunatic.
Even though Li Yuan later said it could be sold at a 40% discount, he still felt the price was outrageous.
How much is 60% off?
One hundred and fifty-three billion dollars.
A stock that was destined to lose money could one day make billions of dollars?
Even if the discount is 70%, he thinks it is not bad. Everyone will be satisfied and his leader will be happy too.
When Li Yuan first asked him to negotiate for $26 billion, he knew in his heart that the deal would fail. He was just grateful to Li Yuan for giving him the opportunity to participate. At the same time, in the workplace, one should not express opinions and deny the boss's decision before something is done.
That would be extremely irresponsible.
His phone rang.
When he saw it was his leader calling, he answered the call immediately.
"Leader, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Xiao Yao, didn't you send the report today?"
"Well, there is still some data that has not been sorted out. I would like to send it over after it is sorted out."
"Oh, okay, how long will it take you to finish it?"
"This... I'm not sure either..."
He really didn't know when the talks with Li Yuan would be over.
"Okay then, I'm just asking casually. After all, today is a little different from usual. I habitually want to take a look at the report when I wake up every day."
"Yes, I will be more punctual next time."
He didn't say anything about trading stocks.
After all, the transaction has not been completed yet, and no one knows what kind of accidents will occur.
If the transaction fails, the leader will only have expectations in vain and end up disappointed.
Just after hanging up the phone, he received a call from Li Yuan.
"Manager Yao, get ready and sign a contract with Pioneer Capital. Sell it to them at 67% off yesterday's closing price."
Yao Yingsong didn't react at first.
37% off?
Isn’t it 40% off?
There is a difference of 6 or 7 billion US dollars.
"Boss, is this all the chips?"
"Um."
"Twenty-four billion dollars?"
"Well, after you get it, remember to repay the leveraged funds as soon as possible."
“Okay…Okay.”
Yao Yingsong felt a little confused.
Li Yuan actually sold those stocks at a sky-high price of 24 billion US dollars?
When he set a budget of 26 billion US dollars for himself at the beginning, was he really kidding?
If you have the ability, can you do it?
Otherwise how do you explain that he was able to sell for $24 billion?
He is not a professional negotiator, but Yao Yingsong himself is considered professional in this regard.
But he simply couldn’t understand how Li Yuan did it. Pioneer Capital’s initial offer was only 13 billion US dollars, and he asked them to increase it to 24 billion US dollars?
It seemed like Li Yuan didn't do anything in the middle?
Are the people at Pioneer Capital crazy? The price increase is not that outrageous.
He immediately called Pioneer Capital to confirm the final amount.
A little over $24 billion...
Next, I was busy with various contracts. After all, Pioneer Capital was not signing as a single entity.
Otherwise, all the shares will be in the name of a certain entity, making it inconvenient to sell them in the future.
It took more than an hour to finally get all the contracts done.
Financial transactions no longer require face-to-face contract signing, even if the amount involved is high.
Looking at the 24 billion US dollars that came into his account, he still felt a sense of unreality.
$8.3 billion of leveraged funds need to be repaid, leaving $15.7 billion.
Of this money, only $1 billion in principal is included.
Adding the several hundred million dollars that Li Yuan earned in recent times, it means that Li Yuan earned more than 15 billion US dollars in three months.
It's completely cleared.
He called Li Yuan, on the one hand to report on the progress of the work, and on the other hand to ask whether to liquidate the business.
Li Yuan quickly replied: "I won't liquidate the business for now. Let's wait another month. After the liquidation, I need to rest for three or four months. Please talk to your leader."
"OK."
Yao Yingsong knew that Li Yuan was about to have a child, so it was normal for him to take a few months off.
Now he just wanted to finish the report quickly. After all, it was already past five o'clock and his boss was about to go off work.
…
The office of the National Big Fund.
The overall business has been rather sluggish recently.
They not only cooperated with Li Yuan, but also with some other people.
"Doesn't this fund manager of Pioneer Capital have the ability to manage a fund worth tens of billions? Why are the recent data so bad? Over the past six months, the five billion yuan in funds has lost 30%."
"Even if the market is not good recently, what about personal ability? It's not like there aren't stocks that are rising!"
"Can't we learn from Li Yuan? Even if there isn't one, we can create one with our own strength !"
They were a little depressed because this project was jointly proposed by their group of people, but the results were extremely poor.
If it weren't for the monster Li Yuan, they would have to step down next year.
Not just one company. In addition to Li Yuan, they also invested in five or six companies. So far, the loss has been at least nearly twenty points.
There are domestic funds and QDII funds.
Li Yuan was killing people in foreign markets, and they were delivering vegetables to foreign markets.
Almost a loss of 10 billion!
The money of the national big fund cannot afford such losses.
Someone said, "Old Yang, don't worry. When Li Yuan was about to lose tens of billions of dollars , didn't you still think about raising money for him? How much has he lost? Why don't you have the fortitude to do so?"
He immediately retorted, "Can Li Yuan be the same? He has earned so much, he won't feel bad no matter how much he loses. But those guys are nothing. They all have big names, such as the youngest billion-dollar fund, the first stock god in the mainland... They are all talking nonsense. The market almost died out! What's wrong? Do you still want a bull market every day? If that's the case, we can make money ourselves, why do we need them?"
The cooperation between the national large funds and them is also an endorsement for them, which is a two-way effort.
But the results are not optimistic...
"Investment itself is risky, otherwise we wouldn't have adopted conservative investment in the past. If there were no funding gaps in various aspects, we wouldn't have taken risks. Now that we have decided to take risks, we have to bear the consequences."
"Alas...it's mainly because Li Yuan was targeted too harshly, and his performance is not very good. I thought they could help out, at least to make the data of this project look better this year. Next year, Li Yuan will definitely be able to perform well. If the data this year is a comprehensive loss, it is hard to say whether this project can still exist next year."
"It shouldn't be a big problem. Li Yuan made us a lot of money last year, and the higher-ups will allow us to make some mistakes this year."
If it wasn’t Li Yuan last year and the same situation happened in the first half of this year, the project would have been withdrawn directly.
"Yao Yingsong has had some mental problems recently. He has started to slack off at work and has not sent the financial statements yet! At least I can still see some profit data from Sky Capital. If I look at these loss reports all day, I will lose ten years of my life!"
"Well, it's really outrageous. I'm afraid that she felt it was easy to make money when she was with Li Yuan before, but now that she sees that the returns are mediocre, she has become lazy."
They certainly wouldn't criticize Yao Yingsong for such a small matter. After all, Yao Yingsong was a popular figure around Li Yuan.
But it does not prevent us from making some judgments about Yao Yingsong based on some small things.
At this moment, the printer started printing the document automatically.
Someone walked over, picked it up, and immediately said, "Yao Yingsong sent over the financial statements of Qingtian Capital!"
Everyone rushed forward immediately.
They also knew the difficulties that Kingkong Capital was facing at the moment, so they just turned to the last page and took a quick look at the earnings situation.
But when they turned to the end, they were confused.
Because today's gains are outrageous.
The loss was more than 40 points, and the amount of loss reached 16 billion US dollars.
Losing $16 billion in one day?
"Qingtian Capital went bankrupt? Didn't Nvidia just fall ten points?"
Their heads were buzzing.
Start flipping forward immediately to see what is going on.
