That night, Paris was left to have a dinner before seeing her off from Jones Manor.

For a while after that, Kaos lived an extremely relaxed life. He just ate and drank every day, and occasionally took Lin Yifei to some banquets. In the leisurely life, Kaos's mood was constantly explored by major Internet companies in the stock market.

At the end of the day, my mood is getting better and better.

In the middle, Kaos also spent money to buy a series of sports cars such as Ferrari F40, RuF CTR, Bugatti EB110, Jaguar XJ220, McLaren F1, Pagani Zonda, Ultima GTR, etc.

Among them, Ferrari F40, Bugatti EB110, Jaguar XJ220, and McLaren F1 are all models that have been discontinued, and Kaos are all second-hand cars purchased from elsewhere at a large price.

However, there is no problem in terms of performance and other aspects. Even the mileage traveled is only just over 1,000 kilometers.

In addition to the more than ten sports cars he had previously purchased, including the Porsche 959 and Ferrari F50, Kaos parked them in a large garage next to the Jones Manor racing track.

No sports car is suitable for driving for more than an hour, otherwise the ultra-low body will make the driver's body extremely tired. So even after Kaos bought it, he only occasionally drove four or five laps on the track in his manor.

Therefore, the actual use of sports cars is very problematic. When so many sports cars with a sense of technology are parked not far from the track, in a garage made entirely of glass and also in the exhibition hall, Kaos is still full of excitement.

A sense of pride.

This has nothing to do with money, it is entirely the satisfaction and pride brought by collecting.

After all, compared with the money earned from the stock market every day, the money spent on buying cars and collecting them is really not even a fraction.

"Boss, the time difference is too big, otherwise the stock buyback will be too hasty."

Li Ying gently placed a financial report in front of Kaos and at the same time made a proposal to Kaos. As April was coming to an end, May was about to enter.

The stocks that were borrowed before were almost due to be returned. Even if I knew that I would still make a lot of profits if I continued to sell short, it was time to stop selling.

"Okay, let's take a look at this new plan."

After a month and a half, the Nasdaq index is still pretty good, but the stock prices of Internet companies are in dismal condition. In early March, Google's market value peaked at US$105.3 billion, but now it has dropped to only US$184.

One hundred million U.S. dollars.

This is because Google has been performing well before. For example, some Internet companies that have no revenue until now have recently filed for bankruptcy.

But it is also because of this that it saved Kaos a lot of trouble, and many stocks have become waste paper. Even if they have not become waste paper, the stock price has fallen by 7.80%. It can be seen that this time

How profitable the action is.

Although the final result has not yet been settled, Li Ying's financial report has roughly calculated a profit of 3.5 billion U.S. dollars. After the transaction is completely cleared, it is estimated that there will be an additional profit of 230 million U.S. dollars.

Because of this, Kaos also felt that he could start implementing another plan.

“Shorting AOL Time Warner?”

Li Ying looked at the opening casually, then looked at Kaos with some surprise. Since the two companies announced their merger in January, Time Warner's stock has been rising slowly. On the contrary, America Online has been affected by the current Internet trend.

Bubble influence, some downward trend.

But after all, it has the support of Time Warner, and the decline is not very obvious. Just like Google's stock now has the New York Times Group, it also performs better than Yahoo, and even now exceeds Yahoo's market value for the first time.

"Yes, but this is a long-term plan. Now the two companies just want to merge, and they still need the government's antitrust investigation. They can only come together after confirming that there are no problems. So you will keep an eye on it. As long as the two companies officially merge

Finally, that’s when we start preparing to go short.”

Don't look at the huge profits in the stock market, which make many people's eyes gleam with gold when they hear it. But in fact, this is a job that requires three years of non-opening and three years of open business.

Before every major operation, there are several months to more than half a year of investigations and visits, and then the official start of the operation, and then when the operation is completely completed, it is basically calculated in years.

Just like this time of shorting the Internet, preparations were already underway in the second half of last year, but it was not until May this year that the preparations for closing the position were completed.

"Yes, I understand, I will arrange for someone to do it."

Although Li Ying didn't know why she was so unfavorable about the merger of the two companies, her boldness and radicalness during the Internet bubble still made her sincerely admire Kaos, so she didn't ask any more questions. She would ask more specific questions later.

During the investigation, I personally searched and solved my doubts.

After watching Li Ying, who was neatly dressed in a women's suit, walk out of her office, she packed up her things and prepared to return to Google headquarters from the investment company.

Although they made a fortune in the stock market, they also paid the price of Google's plummeting market value. Now there are a group of directors in the company's board of directors who are anxious to get angry, waiting for Chairman Kaos to give an explanation and solution.

This is the troublesome part of listed companies. When they are making money, no one will say anything, but when something goes wrong, this large group of shareholders and directors will be a big constraint. Kaos, as the chairman, needs to gradually

Divide and comfort board members.

The most important one is that the Golden family behind Lynne Golden is the most nervous and anxious about the stock price drop.

After all, when they fully acquired the New York Times Group, most of their shares were exchanged for Google shares in proportion. This has caused them to suffer heavy losses, and now they have lost at least nearly three-quarters of their net worth.

At this point, the old fox in the Sulzberger family has been completely silent. In the world of one month since the stock market crash, he has not said a word, nor has he asked Kaos.

It really feels like sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

This also made Kaos understand more clearly why in the original time and space, the New York Times Group has always been controlled by the Sulzberger family, but the four brothers of the Golden family can only watch and cause trouble.

It doesn't matter whether a person's ability is strong or not, no matter how excellent he or she is at ordinary times. Only in times of crisis is the time to show one's strength. Only after the big wave subsides can one see who is the leader.
