Chapter 113
112. Do a big vote
August is destined to be an extraordinary season.
On August 13, Koizumi, the Shouriki of Higashima, did something that shocked the world and made all the Chinese people angry—
Visit the Jingguo Shrine.
This move immediately triggered tension in Sino-Japanese relations, and many cooperative projects also stopped.
In fact, since 2000, the two countries, which were originally in a period of political and economic growth, began to become colder and gradually developed friction. Until today, it has reached the end of a historical stage.
Cao Yang couldn't help but worry about his future cooperation with DMM.
But speaking of this, Ai Xiaomi and his team have been to Dongdao for a while, and now they don’t even have any information.
The future national conditions are affected, I don’t know if the game can successfully go to the East Island.
...
However, compared with this incident, another more shocking thing will break out in the near future—
The United States will be attacked by 9/11, which will lead to a sharp drop in US stocks. All countries related to the US dollar system, Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States will be affected.
Cao Yang thought for a long time and felt that this was still an unprecedented opportunity for Bomi.
As US stocks plummeted, the stock prices of many high-tech companies will suffer heavy losses. Even giants like Apple will once fall below $7, which is a historical low, not to mention others.
The related airlines are even worse, and their stock prices have basically been cut in half after 9/11.
Not to mention whether we can enter the market and sell short selling, even after the incident breaks out, it is an unprecedented good time to enter the United States to acquire the company they like.
And Cao Yang thought it very clearly—
As a Chinese People's Entrepreneur, he simply has no ability to stop the outbreak of 9/11.
Even if Cao Yang reported to the Americans that there would be a terrifying incident on this day, they would not believe it, and they might cause trouble, and they might even be extradited and investigated.
Therefore, since you don’t have the ability to stop it, it’s better to go and sing it out.
After the 9/11, many American businessmen were shorting, which is what is called capital without moral sense.
Americans can short the United States, and Cao Yang can also eat some minced meat.
...
In the afternoon, Cao Yang flew to Xiangjiang and had dinner with Xiong Xiaoge and another man named Liu Zhiping.
Speaking of which, Xiong Xiaoge really helped him a lot.
After the last conversation, Xiong Xiaoge recommended Junming Law Firm to Cao Yang, consolidating Bomi's lack of legal partners. This law firm has rich experience in overseas mergers and acquisitions and can help Bomi operate overseas affairs in the future.
At the same time, Xiong Xiaoge helped recommend Liu Zhiping from Goldman Sachs Investment Bank, who is also a good at investing in and overseas projects, mergers and acquisitions and restructuring.
In his previous life, Goldman Sachs helped run Penguin's listing work and was a great success.
Now that we are back in cooperation with Goldman Sachs, Cao Yang couldn't help but sigh—
Destiny is really wonderful. After walking around, it seems that it is back.
But this time the Penguin's leader is not Xiao Ma Ge, but Cao Yang.
And Cao Yang is also very familiar with Liu Zhiping.
Liu Zhiping was born in BJ City in 1973.
He has a high education, holds a Master of Business Administration from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, a Bachelor of Electronic Engineering from the University of Michigan, and a Master of Electronic Engineering from Stanford University.
After graduation, he worked in management consulting at McKinsey.
Then he returned to China to serve as executive director of Goldman Sachs Asia Investment Banking Department and chief operating officer of the Telecom, Media and Technology Industry Group.
During the process of Goldman Sachs operating Penguin to go public, Liu Zhiping was the main person in charge.
Later, Brother Xiao Ma thought he was very talented and the two of them cooperated happily. Liu Zhiping himself also had the idea of becoming a third-party strategic consultant, so the two hit it off. Brother Xiao Ma invited Liu Zhiping to Penguin as the company's chief strategic investment officer, responsible for company strategy, investment, mergers and acquisitions and investor relations;
Brother Xiao Ma retreated behind the scenes and asked Liu Zhiping to be responsible for the daily management and operation of the company.
It can be said that a large part of the growth of penguins later was due to Liu Zhiping.
...
This time, Cao Yang met Liu Zhiping, a man who was matched by Xiong Xiaoge.
The three of them met at a Cantonese restaurant in Xiangjiang.
There is a big lobster on the table and various Cantonese snacks:
Shrimp dumplings, crab roe buns, Cantonese roast duck...
After meeting, Xiong Xiaoge recommended each other to each other.
"Hello, hello." Liu Zhiping held Cao Yang's hand, "I often hear Mr. Xiong talk about you. Mr. Cao is really young and promising."
What he said is indeed the truth. Since Cao Yang took over Penguin and started operating, the boy has shown extraordinary vision and talent. After several contacts, Xiong Xiaoge has a high evaluation of Cao Yang.
"No, Mr. Liu, you are young."
Cao Yang admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Zhiping is only 28 years old now, which is the peak of his life.
It is really not something that ordinary people can do at this age that they can be the executive director of Goldman Sachs Asia Investment Banking Department and the chief operating officer of the Telecom and Media and Technology Industry Group.
After a few people sat down, they ate for a while, and Liu Zhiping got to the point.
"I heard that your company wants to expand its overseas business in the future?"
"Well, yes, yes, that's why I want to ask Mr. Liu."
"No, no, I can't say for advice," Liu Zhiping put down his chopsticks and looked at Cao Yang calmly, "I can only say that I can provide you with all the information I know as much as possible. If you need Goldman Sachs' help, Mr. Cao, please say it."
"Then I'll ask for a question," Cao Yanghe asked sincerely on the table, "If it's a mainland Chinese company, can you trade stocks in the United States?"
"Yes." Liu Zhiping smiled, "But there are two things that are difficult. The first is to open an account. You can open an account by finding an agent in Xiangjiang. Because there are still differences in policies from Xiangjiang and the mainland, the economy is more free and the control is not so strict."
"The second is capital outbound. For example, Bomi can apply for a foreign exchange account directly."
Liu Zhiping frowned, "It's just that this process is very strict, and it is unlikely that the country will allow foreign exchange exports under capital accounts."
Speaking of this, he smiled awkwardly, "This is, hehe, you know."
"Yes," Cao Yang nodded.
Some things are hard to say, they cannot be said, and they cannot be broken.
"Of course, it is definitely not good to use foreign exchange accounts for stock trading, but it is still okay to use them for investment. Hey? Mr. Cao, aren't you going to talk about overseas mergers and acquisitions? Why did you suddenly talk about stock trading?"
"hehe……"
Cao Yang smiled awkwardly.
I can't tell you that I'm going to short 911, right?
However, he doesn't want to miss this opportunity. Once he missed it, he will have to wait for the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008 next time.
If you can successfully short 911, the short-term return rate can reach several times.
Cao Yang wants to do a big vote now.
