The rebirth of the Hong Kong Island chaebol, starting with a short-selling Eagle Sauce

Robert has been living a good life lately.

Cayman Capital took advantage of the stock market crash to make money, making the company's reputation flourish on Wall Street.

The capital under his control expanded again, even attracting the stock god Buffy.

Stock god Buffy injected 8 million in personal investment into Cayman Fund, enjoying a high annualized return of 30%.

This also brings the funds controlled by Cayman Funds to an unprecedented US$80 billion!

From the perspective of capital scale, Cayman Capital can already be called a medium-sized financial institution.

But compared with the top ten investment banks on Wall Street, there is still a long way to go.

What makes Robert happiest is that he has reached certain cooperation agreements with Proton Fund and Tiger Fund.

The three major hedge funds have formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and the leader of the alliance is naturally Cayman Capital, which has the most abundant funds.

Everyone is a hedge fund, why should you be the boss?

Both Proton Fund and Tiger Fund were dissatisfied before, but after the stock market crash suddenly broke out, everything changed.

Cayman Capital anticipated the crisis and began to eat meat. The two short sellers did not even drink the broth because they entered the game late.

The young couple immediately realized that Cayman Capital was a big deal.

It's okay to follow him and have a sip of soup.

Being flattered by a group of senior figures in the financial world, Robert felt a little elated.

But he didn't forget his boss's instructions.

When you have money, you must invest it and make money make money.

"Boss, we can obviously buy most of Huanghe Industrial, why not take this opportunity to buy more?"

"Robert, don't worry. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It's too early for us to initiate an equity war. It will only make us fall into the quagmire of a business war and prevent the funds from being used in the most reasonable place."

Robert agreed with his boss's statement, and he was curious about where his boss would make his next move.

"Send an investment team to start acquisition negotiations with Husky Energy in Maple Country!"

Husky Energy?The oil giant from Maple Country?

Although he didn't know why his boss was suddenly interested in an oil company, as a subordinate, he knew he shouldn't ask questions and didn't say anything.

"Yes, you not only want to buy Husky Energy Company, we want to initiate acquisitions from oil giants around the world. If you are interested in selling, you can buy them all as long as the price is right."

Oil prices at $10 won't last long. In another year or two, prices will soon rise to $30 again.

In his memory, the richest man, Li, bought 91% of Husky Energy's shares in 90.

And have enjoyed the feast of rising oil prices since then.

The deal was also called "one of the greatest investments of his life."

At this time, Wang Lei controlled only a lot more funds than the richest man Li. He wanted to use the white gloves of Cayman Capital to become a world-class oil tycoon in the shortest possible time.

"By the way, you go ask New World Pictures if they have any intention of selling the Marvel comics they have."

Robert couldn't keep up with his boss's thinking. One moment he was planning the oil industry, and the next he jumped to the comics industry.

Robert still has some impression of Marvel comics. He also liked reading comics when he was a child, but he is not a fan of Marvel comics.

He prefers DC's Superman and Batman.

DC Comics has always been the overlord of the comics industry in the United States. They put Superman on the big screen in 78.

Marvel Comics' market share has always lagged far behind DC Comics.

If it were Robert, if he really wanted to expand into the comics industry, he would prefer to directly acquire DC Comics.

This is the typical acquisition thinking of large investment banks.

"Boss, why don't you consider DC?"

"Robert, I am more optimistic about the future of Marvel Comics. It will establish its position in the film and television industry on the big screen, and compared with DC Comics, it is cheaper!"

Marvel Comics is the predecessor of Marvel Comics.

Yes, Marvel is cheap right now, ridiculously cheap.

Marvel, which will be worth US$4000 billion in the future, is only offering a measly US$8000 million at this time.

Marvel changed hands for the first time in 68, when founder Martin sold it for $1500 million.

Last year, in 1986, New World Pictures acquired Marvel for $4600 million.

This company from Hollywood originally planned to learn from DC and start producing Marvel hero movies.

Unfortunately, New World investors suffered a stock market crash.

If nothing unexpected happens in history.

The U.S. stock market crash of 1987 forced the company to reluctantly sell Marvel to its next owner, the Andrews Group, for $1988 million in 8200.

The boss of Andres Group, Ronald Perelman, is an expert in leveraged buyouts.

Buying and selling at the same time is his usual style.

Seeing that his boss was so confident, Robert immediately responded:

"Okay, boss, I promise to complete these two acquisitions and give you a satisfactory answer!"

Thinking of Ronald, a leveraged competitor, Wang Lei did not forget to remind:

"You must act quickly. I support your premium acquisition."

The future value of Marvel cannot be considered in Wang Lei's mind. He cannot accept it if Ronald, a speculator, still picks the peach.
