Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

The news that Lehman Brothers sold Jumei shares spread on the Internet. After Jumei's stock price fell below 10 US dollars, it fell below 9 US dollars again. It is terrible, and its market value is only 16.7 billion US dollars.

Jumei had no choice but to sell the major shareholders. Fortunately, everyone knew that Lehman had suffered serious losses, and they were so hungry that they sold the stocks of listed companies in China to recover their blood. Some people may ask why Lehman didn't sell a large number of American stocks. The question is, would he dare? For example, Lehman holds a large number of Moody's stocks. If he dares to sell them in the open market, Moody's will dare to lower Lehman's rating the next day, which will not make you sick.

A small overseas company like Jumei is bullied if it is bullied. Can it take revenge? So, you can only admit that you are unlucky!

"International oil prices have peaked, and may fall back to US$100 a barrel within this year."

"The impact of the subprime mortgage crisis has intensified, and Fanfang and Freddie may go bankrupt."

"Is Lehman half a year away from going bankrupt?"

The young Xie Hailiang, the chief economic analyst of Xiangjiang Investment, published several controversial research reports in succession. Of course, Lehman Brothers was the first to bear the brunt. He gave a very pessimistic expectation: without the help of big capital, Lehman would be The nationalization of large banks or the U.S. Treasury Department is almost the common fate of companies such as Liangfang, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup and AIG...

Although the target is Lehman, Qu Li doesn't mind using it to attack those intellectuals who think that the United States is a pure market economy with no administrative intervention or "state-owned enterprises".

This kind of revenge may be insignificant, but Qu Li is not without other means. First of all, he strengthened his defenses and directly sent Lehman to ask them to confirm the validity of a series of contracts related to Glory, lest they suddenly transfer the shares to a "good faith" third party...

Then let Huxiang Province know that Lehman is unreliable and must not be deceived, and then speed up the acquisition of Xiangcai Securities, cutting off the possibility of Lehman's cooperation with domestic securities companies in the short term.

There is also the shorting of Lehman, of course, it has been done for a long time. Now let the Vision Fund stand up and increase leverage to continue shorting. The stock price of Lehman is now about 50 US dollars, and it will fall below 1 US dollar per share in the future. There is too much room for shorting .

"Although Huxiang has suspended the cooperation with Lehman because of too much risk, I am afraid that we still have some thoughts and want us to provide a future development plan for Xiangcai Securities." Sun Jianhe called Qu Li

"Are they trying to drag us?"

"It should be like this!" Sun Jianhe is not stupid, he can still understand the strategy of slowing down the army

"But the plan is still to be done, otherwise there will be no chance."

"Then focus on wealth management and carry out digital transformation." Qu Li opened his mouth and came. During this period of time, he has understood some securities business. Securities issuance requires a strong political and business background, and he has a bird background.

"Don't think about it anymore..." Sun Jianhe felt that Qu Li was too hasty

"What's there to think about? After the acquisition of Xiangcai Securities, it's best to be able to gather all the licenses for funds, insurance, and banking..."

"..." Sun Jianhe seemed to be frightened

"Is there a problem?" Qu Li thought it was a normal thing. Later, Ant, Penguin, Du Niang, and Gou Dong all developed in this direction. It was a very normal and common thing.

"No problem, but very difficult."

"There is no difficulty. The country is opening up more and more. We do things honestly. It takes ten years to get a financial license in the core field. The rest depends on the company's strategic development direction..." Qu Li thought anyway. Yes, it’s not too much to prepare in advance, but you don’t consider the difference between the present and the future. Now who would have thought that mobile payment would be so popular that people going abroad would look at crooked nuts as if they were looking at the countryside.

"Oh, that's good." Sun Jianhe breathed a sigh of relief

"Don't worry, you still have dreams, but you need to be steady and steady in finance. However, digital transformation is inevitable. In the future, commission costs and income will be reduced. If small and medium-sized brokerages do not transform now, they will follow other people's buttocks in the future..." Qu Li said In fact, it is the later development direction of Morgan Stanley and Huatai Securities, digital transformation and comprehensive wealth management platform.

In order to retaliate against Lehman Brothers, Qu Li resorted to various methods. Basically, he was at the end of his skills. Dinghui and Weigang saw the opportunity to grab shares of Glory from Lehman Brothers. Naturally, they actively cooperated and participated in offering suggestions. .

Putting an end to Lehman’s troubles of selling Glory shares privately, Qu Li just met Andrew. He no longer had the energy he had a few months ago at this time. Lehman’s problem is indeed too serious. Many smart people, including the Qu Li repeatedly reminded Andrew that he was always looking for a way out.

"What do you want me to do?" Andrew went straight to the point

"What do you think I need from you?"

"Transfer glory shares to you at a low price?"

"It's enough for us to follow the contract. Don't think too much. For me, finance is a means rather than a goal. I prefer to do business rather than money. Your professionalism in investing in the middle-aged market is admirable. , Lehman is about to fall apart, I want to find a group of people from you to develop Xiangcai Securities."

"It's that simple, then you can wait until the day Lehman Brothers really goes bankrupt."

"I want a group of people who start businesses and start businesses, not just migrant workers. I want to digitally transform Xiangcai Securities and focus on wealth management in the future..."

"Focus on wealth management? Why..." Andrew was interested

"It doesn't matter, I don't have a background, do I still want to do securities underwriting? The number of middle-aged and high-net-worth people is increasing rapidly, and wealth management can bring stable income..." Qu Li thought for a while and emphasized: "I think digitalization is more important..."

The two started discussing, but Qu Li really didn't know much about this, so it was fine to listen to it, and it was impossible for him to understand it deeply.

But since Andrew is interested, he will naturally go to the United States. If he really wants to join Xiangcai Securities, it is impossible for him to do it alone. He must have a team to do it. The Chinese are okay, and I don’t know how many foreigners will come to China. work.

Although Qu Li mentioned many times that he wanted to recruit Andrew and the others, he did not give outrageous promises, that is, regular shares, dividends plus equity incentives, the basic salary will not be much higher than that in China, and whether he can make money depends on his ability. So, this matter will really take a certain risk for Andrew and other crooked investment bank elites.

Retaliation is not the goal. In order to stabilize Jumei’s stock price, they issued an announcement and made certain adjustments to the company: Sun Moon Fenghua’s Xiangyun and Danlin are independently operated; brands such as Quanmian Times and Ming are under the responsibility of the e-commerce department.

What do you mean? This means that the two brands of Xiangyun and Danlin can be financed independently in the future, or even spin off and go public, while Cotton Times (men's and women's underwear) and "Ming" are equivalent to Dog Made in Tokyo and Wal-Mart Huixun, which belong to e-commerce. Self-operated brand, focusing on high quality and low price.

After the announcement was made, the stock price of Jumei stabilized and returned to more than $10 in less than a month. After all, it is a concept stock of Facebook, and Shopee has potential and future.
