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

The happiest people about the merger of AOL and Time Warner are the shareholders of the two companies.

According to predictions by executives of the two companies, they will be able to earn at least 400% profit from sales of US$30 billion in the first year alone.

This number is dizzying.

"We will become the top 5 in the world!"

As a major shareholder of Time Warner, Guy was even more excited.

His continued investment in Time Warner in recent years has finally paid off.

If the two companies successfully merge, his status in the family will also rise.

He feels that investing in the Internet is a wise decision for him. On the other hand, ASML, which Kembauer invested in, has fallen into a decline in growth in the past two years.

The reason is that ASML has never been able to make a major breakthrough in f2 laser.

Investors are not all fools. They all know that Smit is exaggerating the progress of scientific research, so when technology stocks are rising sharply, ASML is rising by the daily limit.

On the other hand, Guy's investment has been growing well, and zip2 and pet.com have been successfully listed one after another.

Now that AOL and Time Warner are about to merge, his reputation will directly surpass that of all the family members.

Including the former good brother Kembauer!

"I said, I will get back what I lost with my own hands."

Guy, who has entered middle age, couldn't help but drink a few more drinks.

Just when he was thinking about which mistress to spend the night at, he suddenly heard some bad news.

"Have you heard that the Wang Group is selling shares of AOL Online at this time?"

"It seems that the Wang Group is really short of money. It sold its shares in Microsoft a while ago, and Wang Lei is also clearing out its investments in U.S. stocks..."

Guy shuddered, and a familiar feeling came back.

When was the last time I had this weird feeling.

During the Dongzhou crisis in 97, Wang Group and Wang Lei also made similar moves.

Is something big going to happen again?

The first thing Guy thought of was the controversy over Microsoft being initially found guilty, but many people, including him, felt that the official would not go too far and would at most give Microsoft a warning.

He also thought about the Y[-]K crisis, but many Internet founders vowed that Y[-]K would not have much impact.

What is that for?

He couldn't help but get entangled. The memory deep in his heart told him that it might be the right thing to follow Wang Lei's footsteps, but after so much hard work, how could he give up so easily when he had the chance to make a comeback.

His hatred for Kembauer even exceeded that of Wang Lei.

The two of them were so strong in the past, but now they can't stand each other.

The pleasure gained from humiliating Krombauer even exceeded the meaning of making money itself.

In this hesitation.

Half a month passed by in the blink of an eye.

The time came to June 2000.

Y[-]K did not break out!

Federal and Internet investors breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Guy felt that he was worrying too much and welcomed the merger of the two large groups with a relaxed and happy mood.

On January 1, witnessed by countless business people, the presidents of the two companies faced the television cameras in Manhattan and made an announcement that will go down in history:

Two companies with a combined market capitalization of $3500 billion merged into one.

AOL and Time Warner form a giant that can influence the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world.

Their magazines, cable TV and movies reach people 25 billion times a month.

America Online wants to go all out to bring old media into the Internet age.

Shares of the combined company soared.

U.S. stocks, which were originally in decline, are back on track again.

Wang Lei also said goodbye to AOL amidst the joy.

He was not idle, he was on the phone non-stop urging Qianlang.com to launch an IPO and land on the US stock market.

Seeing Mr. Wang looking impatient, Wang Zhidong was still a little confused:

"Boss, don't be so impatient. We are one step ahead of NetEase and Sohu."

Wang Lei didn’t mean to hide anything from him:

"In April, the federal court will formally announce split sanctions against Microsoft. Do you know what this means?"

Wang Zhidong is not a mediocre person. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Once the news spreads, Microsoft's stock will definitely plummet.

If something of the magnitude of Microsoft affects the whole body, the U.S. stock market will surely plummet as well.

Wang Zhidong, who originally planned to go public on April 4, nodded hastily.

The key problem is that Qianlang.com is in the review stage, and he can’t do it faster even if he wants to.

"I will use my connections to speed up the review by relevant agencies. Just be mentally prepared to go public in advance."

Wang Zhidong was also excited at the thought of being able to go public in advance.

After so many years of hard work, isn't it just for this day? Their competitors will be caught off guard.

……

"Boss, the female reporter from Paramount News is clamoring to see you."

Wang Lei, who was playing with Wang Duoxin, couldn't help but frowned.

According to common sense, without his special request, Paramount News would not take the initiative to come to the door.

"Does she have an appointment?"

"No, she wants to do an impromptu interview with you."

"I checked her work ID and found that she was an intern reporter who had just joined the job.

It is worth mentioning that both her parents are employees of Wang Group. "

The secretary glanced at Wang Lei cautiously.

As he gets older, Wang Lei becomes more confident and has the temperament of a superior person.

Wang Lei switched from monitoring on the computer to the front desk.

A vibrant blonde beauty came into view.

"It's interesting. Let her come in."

"Ms. Jennifer, you can come up with me."

Jennifer didn't feel any joy, but a little nervous.

Because what she wants to interview is her boss’s boss’s boss’s boss…

The reason why she made such a risky move was because as a trainee reporter in the financial sector, she keenly discovered that her boss had cleared out the stocks of all technology and Internet companies within a year.

These bits and pieces of news were suppressed.

She also verified that Wang Lei was indeed missing from the shareholder lists of many Internet companies.

In addition, the big boss had previously made negative remarks about the Internet, which aroused her unfavorable associations.

Her parents are both senior executives of the Wang Group's Meiliguo branch. They grew up listening to Wang Lei's stories. Like every employee of the Wang Group, they all have deep admiration for Wang Lei.

Relying on her parents' relationship, she joined Paramount News.

For this interview, she mustered up the courage to take the first bold step.

The secretary-general's footsteps seemed to hit her heart, making her whole body very nervous.

When she really saw Wang Lei, her whole mind went blank.

"Jennifer, it was you who wanted to interview me, why are you not talking now?"

Wang Lei's eyes seemed to see through her.
