The first thousand one hundred and ninety-nine chapters are all thinking about the local tyrants
To be honest, Andy didn't care much about Manchester City acquired by the consortium formed by the desert tyrants, because he was very clear about the nature of this temporary consortium, and the Manchester City club would eventually be allocated to individuals, rather than being held by the desert tyrants as it is now.
Of course, even if Manchester City club becomes a toy of a desert rich man, it is still a pretty good deal. It acquired Manchester City for 200 million pounds and paid off all the debts it owed before.
It immediately attracted the attention of global public opinion with its big money. The players of the team did not distinguish between the main substitutes, and each of them had a gold watch worth 170,000 pounds as a meeting gift, as if they were giving children candy.
British football has never seen such a generous foreign boss. Therefore, except for Manchester City, the rest of the Premier League team are jealous and hateful. Even Manchester United coach Fergson expressed his jealousy most bluntly: "Please take care of it, the wolf is here!"
Almost at the same time as the landlords of the desert made this civilian team that had been against the aristocratic Manchester United in the past radiant. They made a shocking amount of money, snatched Tevez from Old Trafford, dug up Adebayo from Arsenal, and snatched Robinho from Chelsea...
What Britain talked about most was that the arrival of the desert tycoon made Chelsea boss Abs immediately become "Little Abs".
Although these jokes did not make Abu very angry, they were enough to disgust him. Well, it was very disgusting!
Andy did not refuse Abu's olive branch of alliance. He was not as enthusiastic about football as Abu, nor did he have the need for Abu to gain popularity from football. As long as he could make money and achieve good results, he would have to win a few more championships.
Of course, all this needs to be told to David Dunn. Listen to his opinions. You cannot mix things that you don’t understand, otherwise you will become a rank of stupid people with more money. Look at the Premier League a few years ago and think that being rich is awesome. Now, Abu, who is more honest, looks at the rich and powerful Manchester City tycoons now. Haha, they all paid a lot of tuition because of blind command.
But before that, Andy picked up the phone and called Alvetlei first, "Al, tell me the details of the Desert Consortium..."
"Hmm? OK boss, please wait..."
Andy heard the words of Al's instructions to his subordinates to get information from the microphone, and waited for about a minute.
"Boss, the Desert Consortium was temporarily established in January this year. It gathered all its large financial institutions to establish such a temporary consortium. The core purpose is to buy high-quality global assets at the end of the global financial crisis, thereby expanding the investment diversity of the entire desert financial institutions.
At the same time, purchasing various assets at a low price can also obtain considerable returns through arbitrage transactions after the financial tsunami. It can be regarded as an act of robbing national assets and pursuing higher commercial interests..."
"Haha, it seems that those who are not short of money want to have a full meal in this feast." Andy said with a smile, his eyes narrowed slightly and his eyes flashed.
"According to the information we have, the Desert Consortium is in close contact with Barclays and Citibank in the UK and may invest in these two banks."
Hearing Al's words, Andy reached out and touched his chin, pondered and asked, "What is the share price of Citibank now?"
“Around $25, more than half of the market value in 2006…”
"Haha, it will be even lower, so forget it, I'll leave it to Budstone to stare. By the way, when will Paulson come to New York?"
"The day after tomorrow, on the morning of September 4th, the two rooms will be officially taken over this weekend."
After Andy smashed his lips a few times, he nodded and hung up the phone. Then, without hesitation, he called Budstone.
"Bad, how much liquidity is left in the company's account?"
"At present, in addition to 10 groups allocating $500 million in principal for free hunting, the main ones are three hedging teams, of which $1.5 billion is used to short General Motors, $1 billion is used to short Aig Company, and $1 billion is used to short Citibank. Currently, $4.2 billion can be used to call funds in the account at any time."
After hearing Budstone's report, Andy's mouth almost smirked. When he was shorting Bear Stearns, he only left $6 billion for Liberty City when allocating funds. Five months have passed, and now it has increased to $8.2 billion.
Although he has a company briefing given to him every day, it is impossible to refresh the details of his own company's funds every day. It is definitely the happiest thing for him to hear his subordinates report to make money.
You should know that after he mobilized funds to short Bear Stearns in March, he divided all the $26 billion funds into four shares, the most of which was $10 billion in Gaia, followed by more than 3 billion pounds that had been left in the UK branch and $2 billion allocated to the Asian group.
Of course, there is naturally a billion dollars in his private account as his pocket money.
Free City Investment Company made a profit of US$2.2 billion in five months. The third-quarter financial reports of other companies that will be sent will make him wake up. Of course, this is also the confidence that Alvetre could tell him that he could mobilize 22 billion in cash in three days.
"In this way, Bud, add another $2 billion to short Citibank, and use 10 times the leverage!"
Hearing the request of the big boss, Budstone quickly clicked on the stock price trend chart of Citibank and said, "Boss, are you trying to break Citibank's $20 support level?"
"Haha, Bud, I have always had a very big appetite. Let the team shorting Citigroup be more patient and prepare for long-term combat." Although Andy doesn't remember the specific trend of Citibank's stock price, he remembers a joke about Citibank's stock price in his previous life.
“When it fell to $36, a big guy said he could buy at the bottom;
When it fell to 18 yuan, a big boss said he was going to buy it;
When it fell to 8 yuan, a big boss said happily that he bought it so cheaply;
When it fell to 3 yuan, a big guy cried;
When it fell to 0.97 yuan, a big guy died..."
So as Citibank, a "sincerity stock" that shocked the world at that time, had a lot of room for operation, and even pressing it alone to bleed. Then buy it at the backhand bottom. Don't be too thrilled!
After hanging up the phone, Andy happily started to turn the boss's chair a few times like a child. The smile on his face became brighter and his huge cash flow made him more confident in buying high-quality assets at the bottom.
Of course, as for those debts, Andy can ignore them and not let them affect his good mood. Besides, as long as all his own companies make money, he doesn't have to worry about those debts, anyway, they will be transferred to those companies.
After a while of happiness, I picked up the coffee cup and drank it all, and looked at the time. It was already past 4 pm. Seeing the London clock hanging on the wall, I hesitated and picked up the phone and called David Dunn. Although it was past 9 pm in London, I thought I would not go to bed so early. You should know that this guy is also a workaholic, especially now that Tottenham club is in the rising period, he is full of energy.
As expected, just like Andy thought, the phone rang twice and was picked up. When David Dunn heard that it was the boss's call, he immediately became energetic and began to chatter and carefully report to the boss's recent club operation.
Andy's mouth twitched. After all, Andy was really fooling around the names of the players David Dunn said. He was still talking about David Dunn's fast and organized speech, and he quickly reported it. Andy also told David what Abu said on the phone.
"Haha, boss, when it comes to this matter, the British media has been full of sarcastic remarks recently, saying that the desert tyrants actually don't understand football at all. They buy yachts today, buy planes tomorrow, and buy football clubs the day after tomorrow, purely for fun. They have too much money to use for bathing, so they have no other pursuits except entertainment."..."
Hearing David Dunn's words, Andy's face turned dark, and her skin was very unnaturally tugging. Damn, wouldn't this sarcastic remark be brought to him too?
Well, when he heard the unnatural light cough on the phone of the boss, David Dunn suddenly realized something, his forehead was covered in a confused look on his forehead, and he was speechless and didn't know what to do, he heard the boss sneer: "These bastards are typically envious, jealous and hatred! After the big scenes of Jin Yuan football being opened by Abram, it has become a game for rich people. Okay, think about the league with Chelsea. If the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, it's okay."
"Okay, boss, I will contact them to talk." David Dunn smiled bitterly, and he regretted his mistakes. Fortunately, the boss was not that stingy.
