Chapter 403: Marvel of Sorrow
"What? Curious about me? Seeing Harry Potter's surprised eyes, Boss Jia smiled.
"No ......" Harry Potter shook his head, but there was no credibility.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Jia Yapeng, I am a Chinese person, and I am also the founder and controller of this foundation." Jia Yapeng said lightly, and Harry Potter nodded vigorously.
"Do you know why I chose you as general manager?" Jia Yapeng suddenly asked.
"I don't know......" Harry Potter shook his head vigorously again, he really didn't know why.
"Because I need someone I can trust, but at the same time know all the inside things about Wall Street, to manage my property, but unfortunately, on Wall Street, trustworthy people are hard to find!"
"I've read your profile, you have worked in 17 well-known financial funds on Wall Street, and 5 of them were fired by the company because you refused to sell those junk funds to the elderly, the unemployed, and other people who live on a small amount of money!"
"There are very few people like you on Wall Street anymore, and I admire you!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"But sir, in that case, I won't be able to make money for you!" Harry Potter said with his head down.
"No, only you can help me make money!" Boss Jia patted Harry Potter on the shoulder and said, "I have no interest in the stock market in the United States, no interest in any financial market, I am only interested in those physical companies." ”
"So your next important task is to help me acquire or invest in some companies in the United States. I don't need you to help me attack, because I'll be in control of the target. You just need to help me defend, to guard against the shares of the various companies I have acquired, against the greedy eyes, the eyes and the conspiracy that are trying to take away the benefits from our fund! ”
"I need you to defend, I mean, do you understand?" Jia Yapeng said.
"I see!" Harry Potter nodded excitedly, because he finally understood what his mission was in the whole fund.
This task sounds like nonsense, since this stake has already been bought, then unless the Foundation is willing to trade, no one can buy it, so why do you need to defend it?
Because there are a lot of holes in this world, especially in finance, there are more holes. Although the equity cannot be transferred, the actual controller of the company transfers the company's assets by hidden means.
Or by introducing other investment methods to dilute the equity, anyway, people who really know how to play can play those investors in hundreds of ways, and the equity in the hands of investors can be justifiably knocked down.
And Boss Jia doesn't understand this, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to the market in the United States every day, so he needs a guy who is proficient in all these intrigues to help him keep the equity and wealth of the foundation.
In this way, Harry Potter, who is born with a righteous personality and has not changed on Wall Street for more than 10 years, is the best choice.
As for the connections with Wall Street, what Jia Yapeng wants is a guy who has a bad relationship with all the vampires on Wall Street, otherwise Wall Street has 1,000 ways to win over Harry Potter, and the general manager of this foundation is the one who killed our boss Jia.
"Boss, are you here to buy some companies?" Harry Potter asked excitedly.
"That's right! I'll give you the first mission! After Jia Yapeng finished speaking, he handed a small note to Harry Potter, and then said, "I'll give you three days, and I'll get all the details of the company on this note." ”
"Yes!" Harry Potter excitedly took the note, looked at it, and found that there were five names on it: "Marvel, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Apple, AMD"
"Why these five companies?" Seeing the names of these five companies, Harry Potter was a little dazed.
Among these five companies, there are well-known companies in the United States, such as Marvel and Apple, and there are also companies whose names have never been heard, such as NVIDIA.
If these companies are all high-tech electronics industries, then the extra Marvel is very embarrassing.
Although he didn't know why his boss listed the names of the five companies, Harry Potter knew that if he couldn't complete this task within three days, his position as general manager would be secure.
As a result, Harry Potter burst out with unprecedented passion, and after sending Boss Jia to the hotel for placement, he began the process of frantically collecting information and sorting it out.
Three days later, Harry Potter, who had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, finally put a detailed and complete information in front of Boss Jia.
Jia Yapeng looked at the thick information of more than 100 pages, and a brief information that was only five pages out, but gathered all the essence together, Boss Jia was a little glad that he chose Harry Potter as the general manager.
Boss Jia spent a day reading almost all the information, and he had a certain understanding of these 5 companies in his heart.
Among them, the worst situation is undoubtedly Marvel, which began its own tragic life after being acquired by Ron Perreman in 1989.
Pereman is the quintessential Wall Street wolf, thinking only about making money. Under his operation, Marvel went public in 1991, which sounds like a good thing.
However, Pereman used the funds after Marvel's listing to acquire a large number of toy companies and small and medium-sized publishers, but these toy companies and small and medium-sized publishers are actually Pereman's routines.
Because these large and small companies have long been secretly controlled by Pereman, or spent a lot of money to acquire these companies, the funds raised by Marvel through the listing were quickly squandered, and these funds naturally fell into Pereman's hands, and Marvel got a lot of leather bag companies, or debt-ridden assets.
All of this left Marvel in debt, and soon squandered the funds from the IPO.
That's not all, after squeezing out Marvel's value on the stock market, Pereman did something to Marvel's superheroes.
It is said that there is such a true joke, after Pereman acquired Marvel, a reporter once asked him why he wanted to buy Marvel.
At that time, Pereman replied like this: "Because I grew up watching Superman, I love Superman so much, so I want to buy Marvel and bring Superman's story back to life!" ”
Pereman's words are said to have made countless Marvel fans fall to their knees on the spot, and they couldn't help but cry, as if lamenting that Marvel had finally ushered in a savior, which made Pereman a little proud.
But it wasn't until Pereman bought Marvel and got Marvel's asset details that the guy was furious, because he found out that Superman was not a Marvel superhero at all.
Although this paragraph is very funny, it also fully shows that Pereman actually doesn't know anything about comics and Marvel, but Pereman knows very well that the superhero itself is actually Marvel's greatest wealth, after decades of comic book accumulation, these superheroes have unimaginable popularity in the United States, just like the popularity of Journey to the West in China, these are Marvel's greatest wealth.
So Marvel began to sell the rights of these heroes, and the adaptation rights of important characters such as Fantastic Four, X-Men, Daredevil and Hulk were acquired by the world's larger film companies.
As for the more superhero rights that have been sold, there are countless of them.
And the shareholders of the United States are not stupid, Pereman's methods were quickly seen through, and Marvel's stock price began to plummet, and finally even fell to the point of less than one dollar per share, at this time, the total market value of Marvel in the United States was only $50 million.
And Marvel's stock can't be sold at all, because no one wants to buy this junk stock anymore, if it follows the original historical development, then in 96, Marvel will completely collapse because it can't continue to operate, and eventually go bankrupt and be sold by Pereman.
