231 Chapter 231 - I'm Out of Money Again (1)
(Recently, I am struggling with the direction of the plot. If I adopt a relaxed style, I am afraid that everyone will feel dull; if I add some fighting scenes, I am afraid that everyone will be upset. It is difficult to choose! And I am also thinking about the new book these days, and I am a little mentally disturbed. Sorry for the poor quality of the text!)
The tea restaurant on the second floor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel serves refreshments 24 hours a day. Yang Cheng casually ordered a few sandwiches and bacon, ordered a cup of coffee and dessert for Yang Sen, and found a quiet place in the corner. The four of Hansen And Yang Sen's bodyguard team scattered around to ensure that the conversation between the father and son was not affected by outsiders.
The meal still needs time to make. Yang Cheng suddenly remembered what Jack Ma said last night, and asked, "By the way, Dad, our family should also buy a few properties in the Shanghai stock market and Beijing. I see the housing prices in country Z go through This market regulation has to go up.”
Yang Sen asked suspiciously, "House? We have it."
Yang Cheng stared, "When did you buy it? Why didn't I know?"
Yang Sen stared back, "Should I tell you if I bought a house?"
Yang Cheng rubbed the back of her head embarrassingly, "Ahem, am I depressed? If you don't tell me if there is a house, you should know that I won't be staying in a hotel."
"You don't live there often, and no one is taking care of that house, so it's more convenient to stay in a hotel." Yang Sen was also joking, and the waiter came to serve the food, and the two stopped talking for a while.
After the waiter left, Yang Cheng took a sip of orange juice and asked, "Where is the house? I'll find someone to clean it up, and I'll go home when I come to Shanghai. How can a hotel be comfortable?"
"Tang Chen Yipin, I didn't buy the house. Your grandfather has a good relationship with the Tang family. When the founder of the Tang family passed away due to illness, your grandfather didn't see his old friend for the last time for some reason, and he has always been worried about it. After the house is completed, it will be used. I bought the top-floor duplex apartment of one of the buildings with full payment and gave it to your mother, and it has been 4 or 5 years in a blink of an eye." Yang Sen recalled the past, feeling a little sad for a while.
Yang Cheng didn't feel so much. Life, old age, sickness and death are in line with the laws of nature. Immortality is against the law of heaven and nature. Since ancient times, people who dare to defy the sky have no good end.
However, Grandpa's network is really amazing.
It seems that all the Chinese in the world are his friends, "This house has increased a lot, and it is a rare river view mansion in the core area. There is still room for improvement in the future. This transaction is worthwhile."
Yang Sen glanced at Yang Cheng angrily, "You kid is tricking money, your grandfather doesn't have such nasty thoughts."
Yang Cheng retorted unconvinced, "If I'm not wrong, Tang Chen Yipin must have sold a house when it first opened, right? If it wasn't for grandpa who bought the house with all the money, they might not know when they will be able to open it." As for the sales, the Tang family should thank grandpa in terms of reasoning."
Yang Sen laughed and shook his head, "Almost, it really doesn't matter who owes anyone. If you want to live, you can live there. After packing up, we will have a place to stay when we return to Country Z."
"Okay, leave it to me, and get down to business. I just flew over from London yesterday. I met Abramovich at the Chelsea game. He talked to me... blah blah..." The matter was briefly described, including the new plan just reached.
"You mean that Abramovich and several forces intend to snatch the oil fields in the North Sea?" Yang Sen asked in surprise.
Yang Cheng spread his hands, "I was as surprised as you were at the time, so that I ran away in disgrace, if I hadn't had a flash of inspiration yesterday and came up with such a solution, I wouldn't dare to meet Abu face to face in this life. "
"You are right. Our family can't afford to participate in this matter, but the new plan you proposed is not easy to realize. After all, if you push Delta Airlines to fully purchase Abramovich's fuel products, it is only the responsibility of the largest shareholder. The right to speak is not enough, the current board of directors of Delta Air Lines has all kinds of ghosts and monsters, who knows which interests they each represent? Fuel purchases that cost tens of billions of dollars at every turn can be resolved with a single sentence." Yang Sen shook his head repeatedly and said.
"I also took this into consideration, so I didn't say it to death, but I think this is a good opportunity to introduce Abramovich and others into Delta Air Lines, remove shareholders who opposed our entry from the board of directors, and have fuel purchases. The contract is bound, and I'm not afraid of Abu's betrayal." Yang Cheng chewed the caviar sandwich in his mouth, and swallowed it into his stomach without savoring it carefully.
"How many shares of Delta do you hold now?" Yang Sen asked, frowning.
"Less than 4%." Yang Cheng blurted out without thinking.
"Okay, keep this ratio and don't increase your holdings any more. It's more appropriate for Yuanshan to maintain a shareholding of around 11%~13%. It seems that you have to find your grandfather to increase your holdings indirectly through several banks." Yang Sen Said to himself.
Hearing this, Yang Cheng added from the side, "Actually, we can also bring Citi in and use the conditions to increase the purchase of the Boeing fleet as a bait. I don't believe that the greedy Citi will not take the bait, and get Citi into the board of directors, which is specifically responsible for blocking Egypt. Sam Mobil’s making things difficult, wait until the time comes to find a way to kick Citigroup out.”
Yang Sen nodded to Yang Cheng, "You're still the cunning kid."
"It's a lie, my favorite book since I was a child is Thirty-Six Strategies." Yang Cheng shrugged and accepted his father's "comment" with pleasure.
"Okay, you give me Abu's contact information, don't get involved in this matter, just concentrate on getting New Era Media listed as soon as possible, after all, having a large amount of money in hand is the kingly way."
Not only was Yang Cheng not unhappy, but he was happy and leisurely. The smile was from the bottom of his heart, and Yang Sen, who looked heartless and heartless, had a "shock". Haven't had a good time, have you?
Originally, Yang Cheng didn't like intrigue in business wars, and playing with women was his favorite. Being an entrepreneur was the most troublesome thing.
In fact, if you have this idea, don’t blame him for being worthless. If you want to blame him, blame him for not choosing a good time for rebirth. Five or six years earlier, he could earn tens of billions from the financial crisis and dominate the world. , but what do you ask him to do at this point in time? The pits are full, the good resources have long been divided up, and Yang Cheng is left with a pile of leftovers, what do you ask him to do? To rob the world with a gun? Sorry, he is afraid of death.
But he really needs to get some money. The injection of 500 million US dollars for the acquisition of Z country movie theaters has reduced the available funds of Yang Cheng to the edge of danger again. After all, no one knows what the final purchase price of DreamWorks will be. Astronomical figures, it is better to prepare early.
Yang Cheng chatted with Yang Sen in the tea restaurant for more than an hour. After sending his father away, he went back to the suite alone. He watched the beautiful scenery of the Huangpu River from the balcony and browsed the real-time news released by Bloomberg News from time to time, hoping to find inspiration in these news. .
The hard work paid off, and I finally saw a piece of news about the continuous drop in global oil prices, which caused a chain reaction to the new energy industry. It reminded Yang Cheng that just this year, Tesla’s stock price seemed to have experienced a sharp drop. Nearly one-third of the domestic market value evaporated, and the drop was so large that the media in country Z far across the ocean followed up with reports. Yang Cheng also got to know this new energy company from the United States for the first time at that time.
In fact, combined with Yang Cheng's experience in this life, it is not difficult to analyze the reasons for Tesla's stock price decline: First, the drop in oil prices. Crude oil prices have been falling for several months, which has directly led to a continuous decline in gasoline prices in the United States. Now the average price is only 0.7 US dollars (about 4.3 yuan) per liter. This obviously has a great impact on the sales of Tesla, which focuses on new energy, and The monthly sales of Tesla's newly launched model s in the United States will reach about 1,000 units, which has almost dropped to the level when it was just started;
Second, the battery factory to be built increases the risk. Just a few months ago, while browsing the business news, Yang Cheng read that Tesla announced that it would build a new "super battery factory" in Nevada. Supplied with battery pack.
However, due to the large scale of this battery factory, the pressure on costs and budgets has increased sharply. Not only that, the production of this battery requires the cooperation of many parts suppliers, which inadvertently increases the risk of possible problems in the future. But the problem now is that if this battery factory is not built, Tesla's third-generation cars will not be available at the price and in the way it wants. This is a complete dilemma, let alone holding Tesla shares. Even stockholders with a little common sense can figure it out from professional investment institutions, and it is no wonder that the stock price does not fall;
3. Insufficient production capacity and delayed release of new products. In the earnings conference for the first two quarters of this year, CEO Elon Musk, who is as infamous as Larry Ellison, repeatedly emphasized that Tesla's problem is not demand, but production capacity, and Tesla has also delayed The release time of the new car Model X, the original plan was to launch this model at the end of this year, but this problem cannot be solved in a short time, and it is reasonable for the stock price to go down the channel;
Four, more and more competitors. Although there is no similar product on the market that can compete with Tesla's Model S, more and more auto giants have joined the competition for electric vehicles, such as General Motors in the United States, Toyota and Honda in Japan. They have also announced that they will release new fuel cell models next year, and Germany's BMW has already released the i3 and i8 models. These increasingly fierce competitions have further compressed Tesla's share price space.
The above are all important reasons why Tesla stock has suffered continuous sell-offs and the stock price has been on a downward trend.
In fact, although the cyclical ups and downs of the stock market are not news, for a listed company, it is rare for a stock price to fall for several months in a row. Even less.
Quickly searched Tesla's stock from the software, and found that the stock price remained at a high level of around US$300, but the bears had gradually gained the upper hand in the game with the bulls. The short feast starts immediately.
Standing up and facing the sun, he spread his arms intoxicatedly, embraced the nature, and there was a ghostly smile on the corner of his mouth. There was nothing that made him happier than making money. He turned off the software, found Riz Khan's phone and dialed it. . .
