"Hello, Madam Christy, why are you calling me so late at night?"
Christy said, "Mr. Xiao, Steyr Networks made a serious mistake this time. I want to take this opportunity to suppress Steyr Networks' stock price and try to buy their shares at a low price."
Xiao Yunhai was immediately amused and said, "Why do we always want to do the same thing? Wan Qing was just talking to me about this. I was just about to discuss it with you. This is great, we don't have to go through so much trouble. How confident are you? "
Christy said, "More than 60%. Steyr Networks has always been very powerful on Wall Street. We're not the only ones who want to bring them down. As long as other companies see an opportunity, they definitely won't let it go. However, what we need most now is funds. I'll get a loan from the bank while getting the team to prepare to buy Steyr's shares in secret. I just hope that the funds will be in place soon. "
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Don't look for those international banks. Go directly to Hua Xia Commercial Bank. I'll call their president and loan the money out as soon as possible. "
Kree smiled and said, "That's great."
Xiao Yunhai was a man who acted swiftly and decisively. He immediately called the president of Hua Xia Commercial Bank.
After knowing that it was a 300 billion USD contract and that the lender was Xiao Yunhai, the world's richest man who had good assets, President Wang naturally took it very seriously. He brought four or five staff members and headed to London.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing went to the stadium to rehearse. They immediately saw the gloomy President of the World Soccer Association, Garfield Robbins.
When he saw the two of them, Garfield Robbins forced a smile and said, "Mr. Xiao, Miss Zhao, didn't you say you'd be here at ten? Why are you here at nine?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "We're used to it. We have nothing to do at the hotel, so we might as well come here earlier. You don't look well, Mr. Robbins. "
Garfield Robins sighed and said, "It's all because of Steyr Networks. We sold the broadcasting rights of the World Cup to everyone to promote the World Cup. In the end, they actually wanted to charge a fee to broadcast the competition. How preposterous! I just called David Stel. Although he said it politely, I could tell what he meant. Since we have sold the World Cup to him, how they broadcast it is their business. It has nothing to do with me anymore. Sigh, I regret it so much that my intestines have turned green. "
Zhao Wanqing said, "Things have already turned out this way. Mr. Robbins should look on the bright side."
Garfield Robins said angrily, "As long as I'm the president of the International Football Association, Steyr Networks won't have the chance to broadcast football matches live."
After he finished speaking, he nodded to Xiao Yunhai and Xiao Yunhai and quickly left.
Zhao Wanqing said, "This President Luo Binsi seems to have been quite angered."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "If I were in his shoes, I don't think it would be any better."
After a day of rehearsal at the stadium, Xiao Yunhai met Wang Quan, the president of Hua Xia Commercial Bank, and a group of people who flew over from Beijing.
Christy had already arrived at noon, and she personally went to the airport to pick them up to the hotel.
In fact, there was nothing to discuss about such a commercial loan. The interest and term were basically fixed. They only needed to review the documents issued by Xiao Yunhai, and there would be no problems.
In less than two hours, Xiao Yunhai signed the agreement confirmed by both parties.
They had dinner together in the evening. After seeing President Wang off, Xiao Yunhai and Christy chatted.
"Madam Christy, the money will be in the account tomorrow. Are you ready on your side?"
Christy smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's all arranged."
Zhao Wanqing asked, "What's the reaction of the Asian fans?"
Xiao Yunhai and Xiao Yunhai stayed at the stadium for a day and did not know what was going on outside.
Christy said, "Last night, tens of thousands of fans rioted on the Internet. Without exception, the criticism was directed at Steyr Networks. It's even worse today. There seems to be a lot of people fanning the flames behind the scenes. The impact is not only on Steyr's video network, but also on their music network and business network. Now Steyr's homepage in Asia is completely paralyzed. Fans in various countries are denouncing them. I heard that some fans are preparing to march in protest. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "With such a big problem in Asia, I believe Wall Street is not peaceful either."
Christy said, "That's right. Steyr Networks' share price has been falling since the morning. By the time the market closed, it had plummeted from $85.5 to $81.3 per share. Also, I've already spoken to Williams Ash on the phone.
Tomorrow, he will expose some of David Steyr's personal problems and some of the company's internal scandals on the Internet. I believe the share price will fall even more. Mr. Xiao, I need to use your private jet to return to Los Angeles today. Tomorrow, once the money is in place, I will start the secret acquisition. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "No problem. I don't feel at ease if you're not there. "
On June 24th, a piece of news about David Steyr's bankruptcy and the bank's refusal to provide him with a personal loan caused a huge uproar on Wall Street. Then, some of the secret decisions regarding the development of Steyr Networks appeared on the Internet one after another. Some of them even involved the current President of America. Then, the demonstrations organized by fans from various countries in Asia spread throughout America.
Under these three conditions, Steyr Networks' share price plummeted by 12% to $72.8 per share. It was the biggest drop in history. Even the economic crisis two years ago was not as serious.
Christy frantically acquired Steyr Networks' shares at lightning speed.
In a hotel in London, David Steyr looked at the computer with a gloomy face. Opposite him stood his economic advisor, Martin Kelly.
With a bang, David Steyr clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.
"It's obvious that someone is deliberately targeting us." David Steyr's eyes flashed coldly. His face was extremely ugly.
Martin Kelly pushed up his glasses and said, "Mr. Steyr, first of all, I have to tell you something very unfortunate. There's a problem with our board of directors. Someone has spread information that is very unfavorable to us to the outside world. Even some of the secret decisions have been exposed. It's obvious that only insiders know about this. Outsiders will never know about it. "
"Secondly, we're in a very bad situation. Whether it's Hua Xia or America, countless companies are adding fuel to the fire. If this matter is allowed to develop, our company will have the most serious trust crisis in history. Thirdly, someone seems to be secretly buying our shares. Because it hasn't been long, I haven't confirmed this matter. It's just a feeling, but I think it should be close to the truth. Therefore, we must introduce various measures as soon as possible to save the current unfavorable situation. "
Martin Kelly was a famous economic expert on Wall Street. When he looked at problems, he hit the nail on the head. Since he became David Steyr's chief financial advisor more than ten years ago, he had always been deeply trusted by David Steyr.
"Martin, what do you think we should do now?" David Steyr heard Martin Kelly's words. He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. He closed his eyes and asked while rubbing his temples.
Martin Kelly said, "Let's ignore the problem of internal traitors for the time being. Even if we find out, it's useless. The most important thing now is to stabilize the stock price. We can't let it fall like this. Mr. Steyr, the most direct reason why we're facing today's predicament is because of the fees for the World Cup. I suggest that we don't charge online to avoid a bigger reaction from the Asian fans. "
David Steyr sighed. "I regret it. I didn't expect such a small matter to cause such a big storm. It made my company lose more than 200 billion yuan in market value in one day. It's really unexpected. "
"Wars often begin with an insignificant matter. The business world is like a battlefield. We've reached the point where we have to fight with our backs to the river. Boss, we must cut our wrists at the critical moment. We can't lose the big picture for the small. " Martin Kelly was not polite to David Steyr just because he was his employer. He said what he thought and did not hide it at all.
David Steyr knew his character very well and appreciated him very much.
