Chapter 188 Not Keeping Promises

Chapter 188 Not keeping promises

Don't say that the stock market is all virtual assets. This really cannot be said, at least not in the United States.

Securities investment here generally uses leverage, and even the most conservative investors will use their stocks as collateral.

It’s not that Laomei likes long-term investment. Your stocks are all mortgaged to the bank. Is it possible that you still play the band?

With the money withdrawn from the bank, it is possible to buy stocks again, and more aggressive investors will mortgage again.

The more mainstream approach is to use your own small money to buy funds, then mortgage the funds to the bank, and then use the money to have fun.

Everyone will be happy if the price rises, and the bank will give you additional loans. If you encounter a price drop, you must be prepared to rush to the street.

As a standard big blue chip, Big Blue is often bought as a fund. It is not a big problem if the decline is less than 10%. If it continues to be bearish, many people will be unlucky.

You said it is impossible to fall so much?

This is correct, but the problem is that stocks have been falling in recent years, and they are already some distance away from the high point. According to the calculations of Wall Street fund managers, if the decline extends to 5%, banks will require customers to increase collateral.

Generally speaking, the mortgage of securities is about 85%, and the credit is particularly outstanding, it may be 90%.

Banks have been withdrawing funds for some time, and if the decline cannot be controlled, many shareholders will really be in bad luck.

These are only the problems of ordinary shareholders. The leverage ratio of institutions is very high, and these guys are naturally very popular.

Big Blue's attitude towards microcomputers has always been criticized by shareholders, but this time it is not bad, and finally began to pay attention to this growing market.

Expansion of business naturally means new profit growth points, which can be regarded as a major benefit. I never expected that organizations that wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to increase shipments would collectively lie down without exception.

IBM's interim board of directors is simply a Shura field, with all kinds of abuse and accusations.

"Can any of you tell me what's going on with that Microsoft company? Is there any black box operation? And that Lotus software, whose idea is it to abandon the White system? What is the purpose? That company is just a software company, don't Tell me about any conflicts of interest."

A group of shareholders clamored and almost overturned the table in the conference room. The board of directors of Giant Blue has never seen such a scene.

Although the shareholders' accusations are various, the core idea is very clear. If you don't choose the most reliable or the most famous, what kind of process is this?

This is really hard to answer. You can't say that Bill and I have a good relationship. If you really say that, this meeting will not be held.

Leaving aside the war between them, Lotus is still very happy. Although it doesn't sell much software, it is still a good situation.

After all, Big Blue is a big company, and its background is not comparable to that of Apple. It is a fact that the shipments did not meet expectations, and the absolute number is actually not a lot.

It has been more than a week since the IBM PC was released. Seeing that the sales situation is not bad, Lotus has also increased the production of software. They did not expect that the white software was delayed. The software prepared now is obviously not enough.

Just when they were full of ambition, White Software suddenly shipped, including office suits, almost the whole series.

"asshole"

Seeing the date on the package, the blue giant and the lotus spurted blood. You are so bullying. You gave birth at the end of March, but you said it will take another six months.

yes! I lied to you, you bite me?

The most speechless thing is that the IBM PC with the office suit installed has become smoother. Even if all the problems have not been solved, at least seven or eighty-eight have been solved.

Nima, do you dare to slap your face a little more?

Lianhua was hanged again, this time there is really no way, your software can't be used at all, it's all about what.

Not your problem? This is a problem with the operating system.

Are you kidding me? Because Mao White's software is fine, the operating system is Microsoft's, not White's, so hurry up and return the product.

The guy who was still fighting on the board of directors went crazy when he heard the news.

The reason for being angry is of course very simple. They just want you to look good on purpose, that is, they want your stock price to fluctuate greatly.

Who is William White, they finally know this time.

There are no ifs in this world, and the loss of this entry and exit is too great.

For the sake of confidentiality, so delay handing over to White Software's operating system?

Haha, they already have it in their hands, and they have studied it thoroughly, knowing what the loopholes in this system are.

However, people just don't tell you, you can use the software to study it, don't worry, it will definitely not be very easy, casual changes may cause the system to crash.

Microsoft has also been pitted miserably, your patches are not very good, what should you do with these computers that you bought White office suits?

This bloody drama staged in the IT world has opened the eyes of Hollywood directors. They have learned a lot, and they can still play like this.

The high-spirited God Qiao naturally started his publicity offensive again, and teasing IBM is naturally a repertoire.

Of course, he didn’t forget to call and complain. William White is very clear that this product is a good-looking guy who took advantage of it. The current situation is already very good. If you can’t live for a few more years, I’m really sorry. Kindness from William White.

"Boss, we got a $1.5 billion loan from the foot basin."

"Tsk, this is really troublesome."

"Boss, the expectation of yen appreciation is obvious, and they do have concerns."

"Haha, of course I know the appreciation expectation, otherwise I would just borrow the yen."

"Including domestic securities-backed loans, we now have 2.5 billion."

"Well, let's pay the agreed two billion first, then use NBC's shares to borrow one billion, and then use other companies' shares to loan 500 million, and tell those investment banks that if the interest rate is high, I will go to Europe for loans."

"Okay, boss, I guess they will compromise."

William White quickly settled the first payment, which caught the consortium a little off guard. Their good expectations would not be realized. If they didn't make a move, these loans would disappear.

When you have the ability to pay, the bank is begging you for a loan, and their deposits also need to pay interest. If there is no such interest rate difference, closing down is the only option.

In the final analysis, the investment bank is not optimistic about William White's acquisition. They actually have a more secure financing method. Of course, this kind of security is relative. As for why they want to loan him, the reason is very simple, and there is no problem with his ability to pay.

Then again, once something goes wrong, the Foot Basin Consortium can't catch them. It's not news that Laomei's regulatory authorities have always been biased.

This tearing battle in the IT world has allowed Wall Street to see the strength of White Software. Although it is far behind Big Blue, it still has the right to speak in certain fields. They are very sure that Big Blue will definitely change its strategy. You It's okay to get slapped in the face once, but it would be too embarrassing if you get slapped in the face every time.
