Since the outbreak of the Internet bubble in March 13th, the Nasdaq stock market has been down again and again, and the stock prices of listed companies on the New York stock exchange have also fallen.
The United States is immersed in the grief of this "huge asset loss".
By the end of March, the NASDAQ index had dropped abruptly from the peak of 5048 points to 3600 points. The decline rate is amazing.
It's terrible for tenima!
Many investment companies on Wall Street are also in pain and happy.
The pain is injured in the sinews or bones. Even though the stock sell-off was completed quickly, the losses caused by the stock market were also very small. Many investment banks were hurt.
"But we won't be too demanding."
The person who said this is Soros, the financial giant of Quantum Fund.
To think about it, it is not easy to survive and invest in investment banks that are bankrupt and reorganized in the Internet bubble.
Happy, because they are faced with the opportunity to make a lot of money.
"If the stock market falls seriously, then we will short the stock market."
It has to be said that there are no idiots on Wall Street. They are very crafty and have taken a fancy to this opportunity. Each investment bank in a short period of time, that makes a pot full. Even many companies have not only recovered their losses, but also made a small profit.
The wind capital of Zhuke, not to mention that.
As one of the earliest investment banks to get out of the storm ahead of time, gale capital has now become a star enterprise on Wall Street.
Recently, many people have come to gale capital with cheques, which has already explained everything.
however......
Zucker didn't have time to greet them now. Instead, he left these things to andI cherop.
Chuck's busy with other big things!
You know, in the months before the outbreak of the Internet, in addition to holding shares in a few Internet companies, Zhuke basically sold off and obtained more than $3 billion in cash.
Plus the gold reserves that Zucker has at UBS and Standard Bank of California, Zucker now has $4.7 billion in cash.
This cash, Zucker did not intend to do it.
"I've been waiting for thousands of times. I've finally got it!"
"For what?"
"It's just a lot of high-quality assets!"
"Now that many companies are affected by the Internet bubble, market capitalization has fallen sharply, and many companies have fallen into a shortage of cash."
"The Internet bubble is a disaster for others, but it is a golden opportunity for me to hold large amounts of cash. If we buy a batch of high-quality assets now, we can definitely reap several times, more than ten times, or even dozens of times in the future. "
As far as the current market environment is concerned, whoever has a huge amount of cash on hand is the master!
As long as many companies are short of money today, Zhuke can make a lot of money and expand his power in the near future.
What a chance!
"Which is the first goal?"
As early as a long time ago, Zhuke made many plans.
ââAmazon!
Yes, Amazon.
Before the end of 1999, Zhuke sold 2.9% of Amazon's shares and made a profit of $1.392 billion, retaining only 5.1% of Amazon's shares to ensure his seat on Amazon's board.
Before the bubble burst, Amazon was a giant company with a market value of nearly $50 billion and a single stock price of up to $126.
But now?
Amazon's single share stock is only $11.8.
The loss is more than 90% of the market value.
Moreover, with the depression of NASDAQ and the impact of the environment, Amazon's share price is still falling.
What a "miserable" word.
However, who would have thought that precisely because Amazon chairman and CEO Geoff Bezos had made great efforts to expand overseas markets while other companies were stepping up before the dotcom bubble burst, 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 wise move.
After the outbreak of the Internet bubble, it was because of Bezos's decision that Amazon Co became the fastest Internet Co in crisis.
Because, its financial report is profitable!
No way, more than 98% of the Internet companies are losing money, almost no profit to speak of. Therefore, Amazon, which can make profits, has won great recognition from the market.
"Tut tut ~"
Zhuke said with a smile: "if we don't buy back a batch of Amazon shares now, when Amazon's financial report is released in June, there won't be any cheap time!"
After all, Amazon will be a big Mac with a market value of more than $1.3 trillion in the future!
"Ding Ding ~"
At this moment, just as Zhuke was meditating, he suddenly received a phone call.
ââJeff Bezos.
"Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!"
With a smile, Zhuke got on the phone and said, "Jeff, you shouldn't be too busy right now. How can you call me?"
Wen said, "Zuker, your guy is really cunning. I said that a few months ago, how did you sell part of Amazon's stock? Are you predicting this Internet bubble?"
Zhu Kexiao scolded: "man, please, I am not a God. How can I know that bubbles are so turbulent? Well, as for selling stocks, it's purely my intuition. "
At the other end of the phone, there are a hundred people who don't believe it.
However, at the moment, he didn't care much. He called Zhuke and asked for something.
ââBorrow money!
Yes, Bezos wants to borrow money from Zucker. He plans to take the opportunity to buy back a batch of Amazon shares to expand his equity.
"Ha ha. Jeff, can I say that we heroes think alike? " Chuckles.
â.......â
Bei guangtou on the other end of the phone was silent.
"But I can still lend you money. At that time, you will contact Standard Bank of California for tripartite cooperation, and I will lend you some money in the name of bridge loan. How about that? "
"Good!"
Bei guangtou doesn't speak much.
But he was also a little annoyed. At the moment, he never thought that Zhuke had the same idea as him.
"Without Jeff Bezos, there would be no future success for Amazon. If it is not for this consideration, I will definitely buy Amazon's shares in a large scale, so as to become the controlling shareholder of Amazon. " There's a secret way in Zhuke's heart.
Zhuke has always been very clear about his position.
Running an entertainment media group has already made Zhuke very hard. If he is in charge of several or more companies, Zhuke will be tired sooner or later. After all, human energy is always limited.
Taking shares and paying dividends are also quite good investment behaviors.
"Well, I'm not ambitious compared with other riders." Zucker laughed at himself, but he was more content.
A few days later.
Zucker left wall street and returned to Los Angeles.
Before leaving, Zhuke repeatedly told andI cherope to act safely.
If Henry was president, Zuker's prestige in gale capital might not be very large. But now, after Henry's run away, Internet bubble and short profit, etc.
Zhuke now dare to say: "who dares to disobey me?"
There are some secondary two students, but this is the iron truth.
"The first watch" is presented.
