"That equity subscription contract will not cause any trouble to Yahoo," Eric shook his head, saying: "I am now more worried that the next reaction of Microsoft will affect the stock price of Yahoo and even affect the entire NASDAQ stock market. . "
Although Eric was only half said, Frank · Wells immediately understood.
In recent days, the Nasdaq has rushed to a high of 4,700 points. The severely bubbled technology stock market may trigger a crash of the entire Nasdaq stock market as long as it is slightly stimulated.
Although the new technology companies under the Firefly investment are all ready for the bubble to burst, it still takes at least two weeks for the Clover Fund to hold the technology stocks before the liquidation is completed.
According to the current stock price, the total value of the last batch of technology stocks exceeds 6billion USD. Even though the Clover Fund has successfully cashed out most of the stocks, Eric definitely does not want this huge sum of money to evaporate due to the early crash of the Nasdaq.
Due to the strict confidentiality measures of Eric, Frank · Wells is actually not clear about the specific status of the clover fund, but he understands that the longer the Nasdaq index lasts, the more beneficial it is to the clover fund's reduction.
Despite being very curious about the operation of the Clover Fund, Frank · Wells still endured no opening to ask, but said: "In this case, Eric, you just did not need to quarrel with Gates at all, even perfunctory is good for a while. . "
"I had originally intended this," Eric shrugged and said, "However, the smooth development of Microsoft in these years has just caused a big loss here in Yahoo. The depression in Gates is estimated to have accumulated for a long time, just now The requirements put forward were not met, and it was impossible for them to break out. "
Frank · Wells thought for a while and said: "I think Microsoft should also not want to see the Nasdaq crash, and it is estimated that it will not react too violently."
Eric nodded and recognized: "Gates is a very smart person. I have just given him a feeling that Yahoo very much hopes to continue to cooperate. He calms down and will not be willing to give up so voluntarily. That share subscription agreement. So, it will certainly continue to be delayed for a while. "
Amy brought another lunch to Eric. Frank · Wells picked up the coffee cup and waited for a while, and waited for Amy to walk away before continuing: "Eric, according to the current trend, you think the limit of the Nasdaq should be reached Where? "
"The Nasdaq has reached its limit," Eric picked up the cutlery and said, "What is missing now is just a fuse that pierces the technology stock bubble."
After saying this, Eric's movements suddenly stopped.
If Yahoo and Microsoft cannot reach a further cooperation agreement, then, once the two sides part ways, Yahoo Browser loses the status of the default browser of Windows system, which is undoubtedly a major bearish for Yahoo, and will definitely stimulate the decline of Yahoo stock price.
As the leading stock of the new technology sector, the share price of Yahoo fell, which is likely to cause a chain reaction of the overall downward trend of technology stocks.
This is one of the potential fuses that Eric wants to avoid as much as possible today.
Furthermore, in the following July and August, if new technology companies report large-scale losses in the second quarter, they will likely become another fuse leading to the crash of the Nasdaq.
Eric is also prepared for this. Yahoo will be the first to announce the second quarter financial report before most new technology companies by July 15th. With the excellent financial data support of Yahoo, the losses of other technology companies will no longer appear. So dazzling.
However, just now, Eric suddenly remembered the antitrust case of Microsoft, one of the most important fuse that may cause the Nasdaq crash.
In the past two years, the United States Federal Ministry of Justice has been conducting antitrust investigations on Microsoft.
At this time, the Ministry of Justice has listed the major crimes of Microsoft: illegally establishing barriers to prevent other competitors from entering the market; linking the purchase of the Microsoft window system to other Microsoft software; forcing computer manufacturers to sign exclusive agreements and so on.
Last week, a lover of Bill · Gates, Stefanie Zeugel, appeared suddenly, accusing Microsoft of paying “reverse bounty” to encourage business users to exclude other competitors.
The so-called ‘reverse bounty’ is nice to call a rebate, which is harder to hear, but it is actually a bribe.
Moreover, the reason why Stefanie Zeherr can stand up is because Gates took her to participate in the Microsoft very confidential reverse bounty meeting. Although there are also many women around, Eric has always placed the girls as much as possible in the vase where they should be, and never let them be exposed to the core secrets of the Firefly system.
So, upon hearing the news, Eric really does not know whether it is arrogant or stupid to evaluate the door classmates. Recently, the North America media also pulled Clinton out with Gates again, and ridiculed them as the two "unlucky Bill" planted on their lovers together.
The testimony of Stefanie Zeugel undoubtedly made the Ministry of Justice ’s investigation of Microsoft a big step forward.
As I sorted out the memories in my head, Eric gradually recalled them.
One of the most critical triggers of the Nasdaq crash in time and space was a federal judge Thomas · Jackson who was in charge of the Microsoft antitrust case. At this critical moment in the stalemate of this case, he suddenly announced that he had mastered the Microsoft The key evidence will soon make a final ruling on Microsoft.
So, at the sensitive moment when the Nasdaq index had exceeded 5000 points, the Thomas · Jackson statement became the last straw to crush the camel.
After the announcement of Thomas · Jackson, the stock price of Microsoft fell immediately, which triggered an overall crash of the Nasdaq stock market. Then, as the annual financial reports of a series of huge losses of new technology companies were published, the Nasdaq index continued to decline in the following year, and even once fell back to a low of 1,000 points.
Due to the bad influence of the violation of the news on the entire Nasdaq market, Thomas · Jackson was subsequently dismissed. For the sake of overall consideration, the federal government finally announced a settlement with Microsoft and canceled the antitrust investigation, so Microsoft escaped The fate of being split.
At this time, in the game, Eric gradually realized many of them.
Thomas · Jackson knew that violating the judicial process may even terminate his entire career, but still suddenly revealed the inside story of the Microsoft antitrust case to the media. Immediately afterwards, the stock price of Microsoft began to fall, which led to the NASDAQ The overall crash of the index.
It seems accidental, but it seems too coincidental.
Know that even if the federal court decides to split Microsoft, Microsoft can still appeal.
Therefore, if you want to destroy the entire Nasdaq index, when Thomas · Jackson announces the bad news of Microsoft, it will definitely need a large number of stock sell orders to suppress the Microsoft stock price, so as to achieve the ultimate goal.
Now, with the Nasdaq index approaching a high of 5,000 points step by step, although many investors who originally looked at the decline of the Nasdaq began to buy technology stocks, but also more short-selling funds continue to enter the market, trying to Obtain huge profits after the crash.
According to the nature of capital-for-profit, in the face of what can be expected, the huge profit of 10 billion USD is enough for many people to take the initiative to destroy the Nasdaq index.
In this way, Stefanie Zeull's appearance, like the Lewinsky scandal, is obviously not an accidental incident.
After all, even if there is no sentiment between each other, a small employee must jump out and testify that he has been Boss. Without any behind-the-scenes promotion or interest-driven, it is difficult for ordinary people to make this possible impact. Your life's choice.
The testimony of Stefanie Zeull did indeed cause a wave of declines in the stock price of Microsoft, but it did not trigger the results that some people wanted.
So, what next?
With a quick calculation in mind, Eric called Kelly · Haynes casually and asked her to sort out the relevant information on the Microsoft antitrust case and rush to the Firefly studio as soon as possible.
Several hours later, Eric was discussing the soundtrack adjustment details of some shots of the film with the scorer John · Williams of "Gravity". The studio door was knocked, and a light gray professional suit Kelly probe came in, softly directed Eric said hello.
Eric nodded and responded, and discussed with John · Williams for a moment before leaving the studio.
Just out of the house, Kelly sitting on the outside sofa got up and walked over, handed a folder to Eric, and said: "Eric, the time is a bit hasty, I do n’t know if these are enough?"
Eric took the folder in his hand and said, "Go talk to my office."
Kelly nodded and left the post-production center with Eric to come to his office in the administrative district.
Entering the office, Eric signaled Kelly to be free, and then came to the desk and sat down, turning over the information in his hand.
Kelly doesn't care about the casual attitude of Eric. On the contrary, she likes it in her heart. She knows that Eric can only do this to the people closest to her.
After the joy of the first few days, the two have maintained a very special intimate relationship over the years. Moreover, due to the shadow of his previous marriage, Kelly did not have the thought of finding a partner again, and unconsciously placed some emotions on Eric.
He rushed over the coffee lightly and placed a cup of coffee quietly next to Eric that expression focused on. Kelly sat down opposite the desk and looked at the Eric reading materials quietly.
Kelly has not collected much information in a short time, but it is enough for Eric to get all the desired information.
History has n’t changed much. The judge in charge of the Microsoft antitrust case is still Thomas · Jackson. The other party is a very qualified federal judge. Moreover, from the data in hand, Thomas · Jackson cannot be considered a The hardliners who firmly split Microsoft even actively took the initiative to facilitate a settlement negotiation between Microsoft and the Federal Ministry of Justice last year, but no agreement was reached.
So, this information undoubtedly proves some of Eric's guesses again.
After turning over the last page of information, Eric raised his head and just noticed that Kelly stared at his eyes, so he smiled and said, "Am I handsome again?"
The little man who was peeking in front of him was caught, and Kelly looked slightly red, saying: "I just think you must have forgotten to shave these days."
Recently focusing on the final editing of "Gravity", I unknowingly ignored these details of life. Eric touched the chin of stubble and laughed: "No way, the life of bachelors It's so bleak, you don't care about me. "
"Where can I get the turn," Kelly glanced at Eric lightly before saying: "Eric, what do you want these materials to do suddenly?"
Eric picked out the data of Thomas · Jackson and handed it to Kelly, saying: "Did you notice the recent things about Stefani Zeher?"
"Yes, I think this matter should be similar to the Lewinsky incident," Kelly took over a few pages of information handed over from Eric, and then looked over again, with a ridicule and exhortation in his tone: "So, Eric, you better be careful on weekdays. "
"Of course, I will definitely not do the stupid things like Gates."
"Who knows, you guys," Kelly said this again, raising the information in Yang Yang's hands and turning to the topic: "Is there anything wrong with this person?"
"I don't know," Eric shook his head and said, "This is also the reason why I came to you. I want to check if this person has any problems, or if he will have any problems."
Kelly realized the intention of Eric, but was a little confused: "Eric, I have been concerned about the possible investigation of the Firefly system by the Ministry of Justice and the SEC. There is no special situation for the time being. For the Microsoft case, we do n’t seem to have to intervene? "
"Of course, we will not intervene in the case of Microsoft," Eric nodded and said: "I am just worried that Thomas · Jackson will become another Stefani Zeucher. Imagine if you were sensitive in this recent period During the period, Thomas · Jackson suddenly released some unfavorable remarks for Microsoft, coupled with the secret cooperation of some people, what kind of results will result? "
Kelly's thoughts turned, and he said: "The Nasdaq crash."
"Yes, those who launched Stefanie Zeull, did not achieve their goals, they will definitely shoot again. I think this breakthrough point must be in the Microsoft antitrust case, Thomas · Jackson happens to be It ’s a key figure among them. ”After explaining Eric, I no longer cover up my intentions, and said bluntly:“ So, I hope to arrange a monitoring of Thomas · Jackson. If I can get something useful, not only can I stop The Nasdaq crashed prematurely and harmed the interests of the Firefly system. We can also have an extra bargaining chip with Microsoft. I still hope that Yahoo Browser can continue to maintain the default browser status of Windows. "
"Eric, it is very sensitive to monitor such a government official. To be foolproof, it takes at least a week of preparation time. According to your statement, we may not have that long time."
Eric felt something in Kelly, saying, "So what?"
Kelly went on to say: "Kron Will has just purchased a batch of monitoring and anti-monitoring equipment, you should have read the purchase list. So, if you trust him enough, this matter for him, It should be a very simple job. "
