How Did I Become a God - Vol 2 Chapter 706
Arnold Lagardère was also present last night and heard the latest news that Arnault got from Pino: The actual controller of the Showy Group, Jing Gao, will counterattack in the stock market, and he will short the lvmh group.
Therefore, the Lagardère consortium should be regarded as a second-line battlefield here.
After all, no one can predict whether the super-rich from China will practice the lvmh group and the French integrated media group in the stock market at the same time.
Arnold Lagardère did not set up the “war room” in the group’s office, but in his villa on the outskirts of Paris.
Also located on the outskirts of Paris, the “main villa” of the Lagardère consortium is more luxurious than the manor of the Chinese merchant Tang family, which covers an area of nearly 300 acres.
The floor area, the building area is at least three times that. From the outside, it looks a bit like a small village. The buildings inside are even more magnificent, one by one, with complete facilities, luxurious and secret.
“Boss, there is no problem for the time being. The stock market is calm.” The Lagardère family is a veteran French consortium. Reporting to him was a middle-aged French man, Carol Banks. He is a financial advisor to Arnold Lagardère.
In the United States and the West, the average wealthy person will be surrounded by bodyguards, accountants, lawyers, and assistants to form a circle of trusted followers. Among them, these occupations are not all just one person, there can be multiple people. Especially lawyers.
At that time, the world-renowned super singer mj had as many as four or five trusted lawyers to help him deal with various matters.
And there must be a financial and financial consultant in the circle of trusted followers around the super-rich. Huge asset management is a very troublesome thing. Need professionals.
Arnold Lagardère nodded, and sat weakly in the soft and comfortable recliner. He was too old, and was a little unconscious at this time. He asked, “Carol, what’s your guess?”
Carol Banks said: “Boss, according to my estimation, they should be secretly establishing positions, allocating funds, and then cooperating with bad news to launch an attack. These are not secret things.
Now it is impossible to find out which bank or securities company their funds go from. We don’t know where they are lurking.
If you can’t find it out, you can directly lock up their funds. This is the most direct way.
Next, it is mainly to see how much turbulence this bad news can cause to the market. If the market still trusts Mr. Arnault and supports the lvmh group’s stock price, then these big short positions are likely to be blown up. ”
The so-called market actually refers to the big players in the stock market. Various investment banks, large funds, financial departments of large banks, etc.
And because of the complexity of funding sources, in the European and American stock markets, many people’s funds are hidden underwater. This has formed a super capital forest and hunting ground!
Of course, there are still some big players dominating it. They will use their influence in the industry to influence their followers. They will release various negative and profitable reports. They will unite with the three major rating agencies to make troubles and gain profits on this stage.
It should be pointed out that the big players are not always winners. In the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, the five major Wall Street investment banks failed, leaving only two remaining: Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
The main players on the Paris stock market are: Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, UBS, Barclays Bank and other major investment banks.
Lagardère thoughtfully and smiled: “I called my friend to ask.”
As a media tycoon, there is still a distance between Gal and the financial circle. He is closer to politics.
However, in the end he is the head of a consortium, and as the consortium of France, the country of loan sharking, of course, he also has financial companies, and financial professionals recognize it. Immediately called a friend of Societe Generale.
…
…
Bernard Arnault woke up near noon and took care of a little bit of chores after the meal, and the time soon came to two o’clock in the afternoon.
The sun was quite blazing at noon in early June. Thinking of the reply from his confidant Alden Gallup before lunch, he called his friend Arnold Lagardère, “Arnold, what’s the situation with you?”
“There is no change.” Arnold Lagardère was in a good mood, half leaning against his mobile phone, “Bernard, I just made a round of calls. BNP Paribas, European Mutual Bank, and Industrial Bank are all conclusive. There are no abnormal accounts and capital inflows.”
“Arnold, no change is the biggest problem!” Bernard-Arnault did not hide his thoughts in front of his friends, and said: “I also call to ask.”
Obviously, as long as Jing Gao’s mind is normal, he will definitely not dispatch funds through French banks. He is going to call other friends in Europe.
As the richest man in Europe and the emperor of the fashion industry, he has such a network.
Half an hour later, Arnold Lagardère called back, “Bernard, what’s the situation?”
Bernard Arnault said frankly: “It’s strange, I called Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse, UBS, and Barclays Bank. They all said that there is no corresponding capital inflow and plan. Chester of Deutsche Bank- Instead, Flynn asked me enthusiastically if there was anything wrong with me?”
Arnold Lagardère couldn’t help laughing, and said, “That guy is really a shrewd Jew. Bernard, this is really weird! If you use Pinot to set up the game, Jing Gao simply can’t know. All The news is true. Then why doesn’t he do it today? Doesn’t he have a channel to release bad news? It’s even more impossible.”
After hanging up the phone, Arnault was muttering in the office. His assistant Alden Gallup walked in quickly, accompanied by the old housekeeper, with an anxious expression, and reported: “Boss, Deutsche Bank is on their official website. A bad report was published. At the same time, our stock price has fallen by 10% within three minutes, triggering a suspension.”
Just when Bernard Arnault and Arnold Lagardère were talking and were puzzled, Deutsche Bank released a bad report on its official website.
This more than 20-page report, which is in full compliance with Wall Street writing standards, is eloquent and explodes the scandal of the lvmh group’s fraudulent accounts!
And this short report is a “command gun” for hands-on!
Not only Jinggao’s funds, but also Deutsche Bank and some small and medium-sized players in the capital market that depend on them launched an onslaught in an instant. The hands-on command guns and secret signals are naturally agreed long ago.
“What just happened?” Bernard Arnault, who had always faced outsiders with a calm and graceful attitude, was immediately moved. He stood up from his seat in shock, supported the edge of the table with his hands, and looked at Alden like an angry lion. -Gallup.
Alden Gallup was afraid of the boss’s cannibal gaze, and quickly nodded, “Yes.”
“Xxx…” Bernard Arnault strode to the “war room”, swearing in French, a series of swear words rushed out, and he unbuttoned his collar forcefully.
Grass **** Chester Flynn! When I just talked on the phone, I pretended to ask him for news. In private, he had colluded with the Chinese for a long time, preparing to short the lvmh group.
There is no need for the slightest doubt. Deutsche Bank suddenly issued a short-selling report, and then the lvmh Group’s share price was volatile. It would be strange if Jing Gao did not collude with Deutsche Bank.
No wonder he and Arnold couldn’t find any news, it turned out that Deutsche Bank was helping them to cover their funds.
Arnault strode into the “war room”, where the financial elites who belonged to him were sweating profusely, waiting to resume trading.
The gameplay of the French stock market is: individual stocks fluctuate by more than 10%, that is, trading is suspended for 15 minutes.
This is a very valuable window period.
All of you here are master traders, and no one will not know what to do.
However, because of this, everyone knows in their hearts that everything that the operation says is imaginary at this time, and the most important thing is to have a large amount of money invested in it. Fighting back at the news level, the lvmh group is a “prey”, how can its appeal in the Paris capital market compare to Deutsche Bank?
A senior employee walked over quickly with a copy of the manuscript that had just been printed out, “Boss, this is a short report on the Deutsche Bank official website. There are already multiple Twitter and Facebook accounts that are reposting this report. Create momentum on the Internet.”
Arnault’s face was green, and he flipped through the English version of the report in his hand noncommittal. After reading only two lines, he threw the report in his hand on the conference table with a “pop”.
“Little Pinot of Gouri.” Arnault roared in a low voice! At the same time, gasping for breath
Pino gave Jinggao the materials, although there was a tacit understanding in advance, and he had the corresponding psychological preparation, but he did not expect that Pino gave bad materials that “lvmh group made false accounts”.
This bastard!
Bastard like his father!
The extent of this bad news completely exceeded his expectations.
At the same time that Arnault dropped the short report on the conference table, the Paris Stock Exchange resumed trading.
In the conference room, the stock price of the lvmh group was projected onto the big screen with a projector.
The big screen clearly shows that after the lvmh group’s stock price resumes trading, its stock price curve is turning around and falling like a waterfall.
“Alden, I need capital injection, my margin is not enough.”
“I’m out of stock. fxxx…”
“Funds, funds!”
Although the big boss z is here to oppress and take control, the financial elites who have devoted themselves to the battlefield are constantly calling for support.
The situation is really critical.
“Funds are being mobilized. Bob, sell short on your side and maintain the position…” Alden Gallup quickly commanded, staring at the stock price on the big screen, just feeling chill on his back. Because the downward curve did not stop at all, he muttered to himself: “It’s stopped!”
In less than half an hour, the share price of lvmh group plummeted 18.75%, which led to the rapid dive of the Paris Stock Exchange in the late trading.
He vowed to his boss early this morning that as long as the mobilization of 800 million to 1 billion euros, coupled with 50 times leverage for amplification, is sufficient to resist bad risks, ensure that the stock price fluctuates within 10%, and block the sneak attack by the short side. .
The boss raised 1.2 billion euros for him. This is a very powerful ability. There is also a 300 million euro loan shark that has just been urgently mobilized through bank calls. result…
“Boss, we still need more funds.” Alden Gallup bit the bullet and reported. The limit is lowered in such a short time, which means that there is a large amount of short side funds to participate.
Arnault didn’t answer ~www.mtlnovel.com~ He was heartbroken. He worked so hard to lay down the country, the 140 billion euro lvmh group, in just half an hour, shrinking 26.25 billion euros. This requires a big heart to withstand it.
Arnault has been in the business sea for many years, and there is no lack of such determination. However, he stayed up late yesterday and did not rest well. Besides, he is now 70 years old. He only feels that his heartbeat is getting slower and slower, and his eyes suddenly darken.
“Boss, boss, are you okay?” Alden Gallup was right next to Arnault, holding on to his boss, searching for the heart disease medicine in his pocket, and shouting: “Old John. ”
There was chaos in the trading room immediately, and there was a lot of confusion.
Someone stood up, someone knocked over the coffee cup at hand and still didn’t know it, someone went out to call the boss’s old butler, Old John. Someone is yelling “Get water.”
At this moment, the Paris Stock Exchange closed! The time point is 5:30 pm.
The lvmh group’s share price is fixed at 226.08 euros. Limit down!
