Rebirth Capital Entertainment

"Are you saying that AOL and Time Warner stock can still be loaned out?"

Sitting in the office of Kaos Jones Investment Company, Kaos asked incredulously when he heard Li Ying's story.

As time came to March, Kaos came to the investment company almost every day to check the latest Nasdaq situation. Although Kaos clearly remembered that the specific outbreak time was probably March 10th.

It's just that compared to the previous life, Kaos has made a big bet this time and has invested more than 5 billion to short the entire Nasdaq. Although this amount of funds is actually not large for Nasdaq, it must have brought some influence.

The Butterfly Effect.

History has inertia. It is not something that can be changed by a small thing, but it will still roll forward. However, some major events may occur earlier or later due to some things.

Just like now, Kaos suspects that such a large amount of short selling may cause the Internet to explode earlier.

I just didn't expect that the Internet would not explode, but I would receive such a special news from Li Ying.

"Yes, after all, it is the merger of the Internet and traditional media groups. Under such a new model, many people are very optimistic about its future. The bubble on the Internet is not likely to affect it, and AOL's data is indeed strong, and it is

Time Warner's portfolio business does look promising."

Faced with Kaos' doubts, Li Ying explained. In fact, she also felt that AOL's future was very good. You must know that since Time Warner completed the merger of Turner Broadcasting Company in 1996, it once again replaced Disney and became the world's largest broadcaster.

media group.

The main business of Time Warner has never been movies or TV series, but its huge combination of TV stations, newspapers and publishing houses. It is a huge traditional media group, while AOL is a new era media group built on the Internet, relying on the Internet

Selling rich information to subscribers for profit.

This is similar to Kaos’s idea of ​​​​merging with Google’s news section after acquiring the New York Times Group.

No matter how you look at it, this is a promising idea.

But just like what Li Ying failed to understand, many people ignore that users use the Internet to collect information, and most of them look at fragmented information. Only when they want to understand, will they struggle to find the complete causes and consequences.

Naturally, not so many people would actually subscribe to the electronic versions of newspapers and magazines on the Internet. Even when the mobile Internet emerged in later generations, we had never seen many people subscribe to the electronic versions of newspapers and magazines, let alone

Now is the time.

This is also destined that the merger of the two will not bring too many benefits, but will restrain each other. In the end, neither party can manage their own business.

The New York Times Group in Kaos does not have this problem at this point, because all uploaded information is free. Only when someone searches and watches the news will there be an issue with advertising costs. So customers do not need to subscribe separately, just for

Google searches for the integrity and reliability of information only.

"Well, it's interesting. What's the recent stock price situation of AOL and Time Warner?"

I was still thinking about what to do with a lot of money after the Internet bubble, but now it seems that I have a good goal.

If I remember correctly, the company's market capitalization was US$360 billion at its peak, and there would be a lot of room for short selling.

"It has just been less than two months since the merger, and it is still rising in a small range every day. If you want to buy now, it is a bit late."

Obviously Li Ying misunderstood what Kaos meant, but this was the plan for the future, and Kaos was not interested in explaining. He just nodded to show that he understood, indicating that the other party could leave.

"okay, I get it."

After seeing that Kaos was fine, Li Ying got up and walked out of Kaos' office.

It's just that the departure didn't last long, but within five or six minutes, Li Ying and Lin Zhiling walked in quickly together, looking very surprised and saying: "Boss, I just received the news, Cisco, Microsoft, Dell, Google

And companies like Yahoo, there are billions of dollars of sell orders on the market right now.”

"Appeared? The market has just opened now. It seems that some people can't stand it after such a long time."

Kaos looked at the date of March 6th, and looked at Lin Zhiling and Li Ying who were even more excited than him. He stood up with a smile and murmured to himself.

Kaos does not believe that such a sudden appearance of billions of sales orders is an accident. I am afraid that some institutions and foundations cannot bear it and throw them out as a wayfinding stone. I want to test the market's reaction and see how the orders are received.

How positive is it?

If it is indeed proven that the market is weak and the sell order cannot be digested quickly, then tomorrow may be a tsunami of sell orders, and the stock market will officially collapse.

With this thought, Kaos stood up and walked back and forth in the office for a while. After thinking carefully, he turned to look at Li Ying and said: "Carefully watch the market reaction. If it weakens, then we will

Don’t miss it and sell one million shares of Google tomorrow.”

As long as the total number of stocks sold within three months does not exceed 1% of the market value, then even a major shareholder like Kaos does not need to issue a special announcement.

Now that the stock market is about to collapse, Kaos can naturally make more money, and at such a critical moment, he can also suppress Google's market value and prepare for future shareholding increases.

Of course, he will not use his own name when he increases his holdings of Kaos again. After all, except for leaving some pocket money, Kaos has basically donated it to the Kaos Jones Charitable Foundation. Naturally, this time

The shareholding increase will also be directly obtained by charitable foundations.

"Yes, boss, I'll do it right now."

Regarding the current situation in the stock market, Li Ying also understands what the other party is doing, but after all, it is difficult to be the first person. In addition to strength, it also requires prestige. Now that someone is taking the lead, she naturally understands what to do next, but all this

We still need Kaos, the boss, to give the final order.

With Kaos's order, the entire Kaos Jones Investment Company is operating at full capacity, and not only Kaos, but the entire Wall Street is in a state of excitement. Various investment institutions and foundations have come up with funds.

I have collected the bottom of my box and prepared to have a great time for this feast.
