Chapter 376 Acquisition of a batch of excellent assets
Since the outbreak of the Internet bubble on March 13, the Nasdaq stock market has repeatedly fallen, causing the stock prices of listed companies on the New York Stock Exchange to fall one after another.
All the United States is immersed in the grief of "huge asset losses".
As of the end of March, the Nasdaq index has dropped from its highest peak of 5048 points to its current 3600 points, and the decline is shocking.
Too terrible!
The investment companies on Wall Street are also in pain and happiness.
The pain is because they failed in this Internet bubble. Even if they completed the stock selling operation quickly, the losses caused during the period were really considerable, and many investment banks could be said to be damaging.
"But we won't be too demanding."
The person who said this was Soros, the financial tycoon of Quantum Fund.
Think about it, it is not easy to survive in the investment banks that fell in this Internet bubble, went bankrupt and reorganized, now it is difficult to survive!
Happiness is because they face the opportunity to make a lot of money again.
"The stock market fell seriously, so we will short the stock market."
I have to say that there are no idiots on Wall Street, and they are all very cunning and cunning, and they all take advantage of this opportunity. In just a few days, various investment banks made a lot of money. There are even many companies that not only recovered their previous losses, but also made a small profit.
There is no need to say much about Zhuke's strong capital.
As one of the earliest investment banks to escape from the storm ahead of schedule, Dafeng Capital has now become a star company on Wall Street today.
Recently, many people have come to Dafeng Capital with checks, which has explained everything.
but......
Zhuke didn't have time to greet them now, but gave these things to Anthony Chelop in one go.
Zhuke is busy with other major events!
You should know that in the months before the Internet outbreak, Zhuke, in addition to holding shares in a few Internet companies, basically sold all of them and received more than 3 billion US dollars in cash.
In addition to the gold reserves that Zucker has hoarded at Swiss Bank and California Standard Bank, Zucker now has a total of $4.7 billion in cash.
Zhuke did not intend to leave the cash alone.
"I waited for a long time, and finally I've waited!"
"for what?"
"Isn't it just a big fame of high-quality assets!"
"Now many companies are affected by the Internet bubble, and their market value has dropped seriously, and many companies are in a state of cash shortage."
"The Internet bubble is a disaster for others, but... it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me who holds a huge amount of cash. Now, acquiring a batch of high-quality assets will definitely be able to gain several times, dozens of times, or even dozens of times in the future."
As for the current panic market environment, whoever has huge amounts of cash on hand is the master!
As long as Zhu Ke can take the opportunity to buy a wave when many companies are short of money nowadays, he will definitely make a lot of money in the near future and expand his power.
What a great opportunity!
"Which is the primary goal?"
Zhuke had made many plans a long time ago.
——Amazon!
That's right, it's Amazon.
Before the end of 1999, Zucker sold 2.9% of Amazon's shares, making a profit of $1.392 billion, and retained only 5.1% of Amazon's shares to secure his seat on Amazon's board.
Before the bubble broke out, Amazon was a giant company with a market value of nearly $50 billion and a single stock price of as high as $126.
But, what about now?
Amazon's single stock is only $11.8.
The loss of market value exceeds 90%.
Moreover, with the depression of the Nasdaq and the impact of the general environment, Amazon's stock price is still falling.
How could the word "miserable" be so good?
However...who would have thought that it was because of Amazon Chairman and CEO Jeff Bezos, when other companies made great strides in developing overseas markets before the outbreak of the Internet bubble, Bezos did not choose to expand overseas channels, but chose to consolidate the North American market.
This move was once ridiculed as "stupid" by many people, but now it is the most wisest move.
After the outbreak of the Internet bubble, it was precisely because of Bezos' previous decisions that Amazon became the fastest Internet company to rise in crisis.
Because its financial report is profitable!
There is no way, more than 98% of Internet companies are all money-lossing goods and have almost no profits. Therefore, Amazon, which can make profits, has gained great recognition from the market.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk ~"
Zhu Ke smiled and said, "Now I won't hurry up and buy back a batch of Amazon stocks. When Amazon's financial report is released in June, there will be no time to get any cheaper!"
After all, Amazon in the future is a giant company with a market value of more than $1.3 trillion!
"Ding Ding Ding ~"
At this moment, just as Zucker was thinking, he suddenly received a call.
——Jeff Bezos.
"Talk Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!"
Zhuke smiled and answered the phone, saying, "Jeff, you shouldn't be too busy now, why do you have time to call me?"
Upon hearing this, Bei Bald Head said unceremoniously on the phone: "Zuke, you guy is really cunning. I said a few months ago, how could you sell a portion of Amazon stock? Have you expected this Internet bubble?"
Zhuke laughed and scolded, "Man, please~ I'm not a god, how could I know that the bubble is so surging? Well, as for selling stocks, that's purely my personal intuition."
The one hundred people on the other end of the phone didn't believe it.
However, he didn't care much at this moment. He called Zhuke, just because he had something to ask for.
——Borrow money!
That's right, Bezos is going to borrow money from Zucker, and he plans to take the opportunity to buy back a batch of Amazon stocks to expand his equity.
"Haha. Jeff, can I say that our heroes have similar views?" Zhuke smiled.
“……”
Bei Fangtou on the other end of the phone was silent.
Seeing this, Zhuke continued, "However, I can still lend you money. At that time, you contact Standard Bank of California and cooperate with the tripartite. I will lend you some money in the name of a bridge loan. How about it?"
"good!"
Bei Bald Man doesn't talk much.
However, he was also a little annoyed. At this moment, he never expected that Zhuke would have the same idea as him.
"Without Jeff Bezos, there would be no future success for Amazon. If it weren't for this consideration, I would definitely have to acquire Amazon's stock on a large scale to become Amazon's controlling shareholder." Zucker said in his heart.
Zhuke always has a clear position on himself.
Running an entertainment media group has already made Zhu Ke very difficult. If you are responsible for a few more companies, Zhu Ke will sooner or later be exhausted. After all, human energy is always limited.
Taking shares and paying dividends is also a very good investment behavior.
"Hey, compared to other time travelers, I'm considered to be unaware of it." Zhu Ke laughed at himself, but he was more contented.
A few days later.
Zucker left Wall Street and turned back to Los Angeles again.
Before leaving, Zhuke repeatedly told Anthony Chelop to act safely.
If it were during Henry's president, Zucker's prestige in Dafeng Capital might not be very high. However, now, after experiencing Henry's departure, Internet bubble, short-selling profits and other events...
Zhu Ke dares to say now: "Who dares to disobey me in the great wind capital?"
Some are second-tier, but this is an ironclad fact.
Chapter completed!
