Chapter 222: You have to be ripped off every time you come
Although the profit is six times when it changes hands, and the unit of calculation is from RMB to US dollars, Goldman Sachs still just wants to make every copper.
Chen Yuanguang almost laughed out loud when he heard this. It was indeed the Goldman Sachs he knew.
Goldman Sachs, which has emerged from several financial crises, must be the most unscrupulous among the many financial institutions in the federal government.
After the 2008 financial crisis, even giants like Merrill Lynch went from bad to worse and were eventually forced to sell out. Only Goldman Sachs took advantage of the situation to rise, leaping from the bottom of the first-class to a top-notch financial institution.
In the past decade, as the geopolitical crisis has intensified, Goldman Sachs has made huge profits from it.
The disappearance of Malaysia’s billions of national wealth is just one of Goldman Sachs’ various operations.
"Mr. Schnander, I know what you are thinking. Amerikan will not allow these quantum computers to be sold to Da Mao. If Alpha Technology has this idea, you can make even a single quantum computer unavailable. Guan, was detained at Malaysian customs, and then mysteriously disappeared
The bad relationship between Goldman Sachs and Malaysia may not be able to do this, but other financial institutions on Wall Street can definitely do this. >
But Wall Street is Wall Street, Silicon Valley is Silicon Valley, Goldman Sachs is Amerikan, and Google, Microsoft, and Apple are also Amerikan. I can choose to negotiate with them, and I believe they will offer a suitable price. < br>
Rather than an insincere price like $50 million.
I forgot to mention that soon we will see that financial institutions with quantum computers and financial institutions without quantum computers will be two different concepts.
Maybe Goldman Sachs can use this to become the first-class consumer finance company in the United States. ”
Although he has never seen Samad’s true face, his understanding of Goldman Sachs and the Federation is far beyond Schnander’s expectations.
In Malaysia, the world’s financial leader On the margin, the other party has such a thorough understanding of Goldman Sachs' strategic trends, which is enough to show that the other party has done enough homework
Because since 2018, the entire traditional sell-side business on Wall Street has declined significantly.
Ordinary investors from the outside world will think that the U.S. stock market is full of flowers and has been rising. No matter what the external environment is, the U.S. stock market will rise again no matter how much it falls.
Being on Wall Street, I can clearly feel that whether it is foreign companies listing on the US stock market or companies within the federal government listing, the intensity and scale of fundraising are far less than in the past.
The traditional seller's business is difficult to do, which is the beginning of the decline of federal finance.
For Goldman Sachs, what is even more uncomfortable is that the biggest piece of fat in the war between China and Mao, the state-owned assets of Ermao were packaged and sold and bought by competitor BlackRock, and they gained nothing.
Because of this, Goldman Sachs began to transform into personal businesses such as asset management, wealth management, and consumer finance. In order to transform, they also cooperated with Apple and launched AppleCard.
Although this business has been losing money, it is a long-term and serious loss.
“In the cooperation between Goldman Sachs and Apple, Apple has always been the strong party. AppleCard is a good business, and it is a good business with huge benefits. However, all the profits have been taken by Apple. Goldman Sachs cannot even break even. It can't be done.
However, due to the downward pressure of the seller's market, Goldman Sachs has to continue to cooperate with Apple. The cooperation agreement signed with Apple in the past two years is no different from a selling contract.
Apple. Not satisfied with taking the lion's share, Goldman Sachs had to give up the profits to Apple
It can be seen that the technology industry is squeezing other traditional industries, and this batch of sub-computers can help Goldman Sachs regain the initiative on Apple Card.
Think about it, while other financial institutions face the risk of being breached by quantum computers at any time, only Goldman Sachs’ personal business is using quantum computers to provide security.
What a great advantage.
Goldman Sachs can definitely use this advantage to renegotiate the agreement with Apple, sign amendments to the cooperation agreement, and amend it in a direction that is beneficial to Goldman Sachs. ”
Chen Yuanguang deliberately said a lot. In the near future, Samad will stand on the stage of Malaysia’s supreme leader election in the name of artificial intelligence. His current performance in front of Schnande could not be more basic. .
When Samad is introduced to the world in the name of artificial intelligence in the future, Chen Yuanguang believes that a federal agency will force Schnander to recall this conversation verbatim.
“So the offer of 50 million US dollars is simply insulting, not only to Alpha Technology, but also to Goldman Sachs.
500 million US dollars for one unit, ten units in total, One billion dollars can be deducted from Nvidia’s latest H300 graphics card.
If you don’t want to, we will directly find other companies.” If you buy it from Nvidia, the business can be reduced to 3.5 billion US dollars, but it is still too expensive, so expensive that even Goldman Sachs would feel pain.
But then I thought about it. The personal business that Goldman Sachs and Apple had cooperated with in the past had already lost US$3.03 billion in just three years. This price did not seem unacceptable.
Schnande knows very well that this batch of quantum computers is currently the only quantum computer available in the world outside of China.
They don’t buy, there are plenty of buyers in the market.
At this price, Goldman Sachs cannot afford it, and Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple can afford it without batting an eyelid.
What’s more important is that if Apple buys it, Goldman Sachs will have no initiative in negotiating with Apple around AppleCard in the future.
More than three billion US dollars can turn a personal business from losses to profits. This business will definitely not make a loss, but why does it feel so painful?
Schnander’s brain was running wildly. He glanced at the vast city skyline of Kuala Lumpur outside, thinking that a few years ago, it was also here, when Goldman Sachs occupied an entire floor of the Petronas Towers, but now only One office remains.
He was as painful as today, and made the decision to pay fines to financial regulators in Malaysia, Hong Kong, England and other places. The total fines at that time were about US$3 billion, which was not much different from this time.
Malaysia is really a sad place for Goldman Sachs, Schnander thought, "I agree in principle, this amount is too huge, and I need to communicate with Goldman Sachs headquarters.
Determine whether this batch of subcomputers is Can be applied to system encryption ”
Samad said: "I will send you a tutorial tonight to teach you how to use it. It is considered after-sales service."
Schnande's face was expressionless: "Okay, I will give it to you as soon as possible." You reply.”
“In the end, Goldman Sachs chose to accept Alpha Technology’s harsh conditions and acquired a total of 10 Haohan-I quantum computers from Alpha Technology for US$5 billion, which will also After Quantum Shield refused to fulfill the contract, it was the only batch of 10,000 qubit quantum computers outside China.
For this reason, scholars in the field of quantum computers from all over the federation said that such cutting-edge technology products were rejected by Wall Street. Mastery is a huge waste of resources
Jerry, the head of IBM's quantum computing, even publicly stated: Goldman Sachs will mess everything up, just like they did in the past when they piled up the federal debt higher and higher.
Argenti, the person in charge of information technology at Goldman Sachs, said that they will use this batch of subcomputers to build the strongest security fortress in the world to protect the financial security of Goldman Sachs customers.
Analysts believe that Goldman Sachs has missed the transformation wave of Wall Street in the past and must now double down on consumer finance to catch up with its old rivals Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase.
The former continues to invest in asset management and wealth management businesses and has transformed into a buy-side institution, while JPMorgan Chase is known to be building a universal bank. Goldman Sachs’ strong business investment banking and other trading businesses not only face other financial institutions are being squeezed, and are also facing the shrinking of the overall environment.
Solomon had to choose to place its hopes on consumers and small and medium-sized customers. However, in order to achieve this goal, the newly established platform solutions department has suffered losses for consecutive years, with losses exceeding US$3 billion since its establishment.
To some extent, this transaction can be seen as Goldman Sachs’ biggest bet in the personal consumer business, hoping that leadership in the security field can help them win customers.
According to sources, Goldman Sachs is seeking to re-sign the AppleCard cooperation agreement with Apple. They hope to seek a greater share of profits, and the premise that Apple is willing to let go is that Goldman Sachs has access to the vast-I-type quantum technology. The computer is transferred.
The current negotiations between Goldman Sachs and Apple are still ongoing, but regardless of the final outcome, Alpha Technology from Malaysia must be the biggest beneficiary of this global encryption system security crisis.
500 million RMB changed hands into 5 billion US dollars. Inside sources from the mainstream encryption platform revealed that the actual controller of Alpha Technology achieved tens of billions of dollars in profits by being long BTC.
In other words, Alpha Technology achieved the astonishing goal of US$50 million to US$15 billion in just one hundred days. This company suddenly became the company with the largest cash flow in the entire Malaysia region. Enterprises”
The analysis article from the Wall Street Journal completely exposed Alpha Technology to the world. For a time, there was a lot of discussion about the myth of Alpha Technology all over the world.
This is a need for publicity and a diversion under the control of federal public opinion.
The Federation cannot allow countries around the world to discuss why China can build a quantum computer with 10,000 qubits, but Amerikan cannot.
If Amerikan doesn’t work, how can we ensure the security of the federal and even global financial organizations in the future.
This will be another crisis of trust, although currently investors other than the Federation have become increasingly distrustful of various investments made by the Federation.
However, the Federation is still trying its best to reduce this impact through public opinion.
On the one hand, Alpha Technology itself is full of gimmicks, but on the other hand, it was pushed out by the Federation as a target.
“Fuck, 15 billion, no wonder Israel is going after Alpha Technology. He has lost 500 million US dollars. If he wants to bite 5 billion US dollars from Alpha Technology, the Jews will still do business. "
"I thought Guangshen was good at business, but I didn't expect this Malaysian to be even better at business."
"I thought it was a little weird. China's high-tech products are exported to the Federation, but the Federation is not allowed to resist them. Why did the Federation not stand up to push back on the sale of this batch of computers to Goldman Sachs?
Doesn’t it mean that if you take a trip to Malaysia, it’s not made in China? "
"I also find it strange. Haven't we been saying before that there are backdoors in China's equipment? This quantum computer also needs to use encrypted communication, so we don't have to worry about backdoors?
I am worried about backdoors in ordinary communication equipment, but I am not worried about backdoors in communication equipment specially used for confidentiality? I would like to ask if you have such double standards. "
"I can only say that Americen's standards are too flexible. If there are substitutes, it will be 100%. If there are no substitutes, Huaguo Technology products will be ignored. "
"Members of Congress in Washington did not stand up and scream, wishing that this incident had not happened. ”
"Stop poking people's wounds. I'm just curious, why no photos of Samad have leaked out on the Internet."
Chinese netizens have received "professional training" and should be more sensitive to the guidance of public opinion propaganda. Of course, this is also because of their hatred of China. Chinese technology companies are more interested in the transaction itself than in Malaysian technology companies.
Because Malaysia is really a barbarian land in China. If it weren’t for the Malaysian Chinese, they wouldn’t even have splashes on the Chinese Internet.
In the subconscious mind of Chinese netizens, Alpha Technology in Malaysia is just a flash in the pan. So what if it has 15 billion? Are you doing artificial intelligence in Malaysia? Don't be ridiculous.
The attention of Chinese netizens is all focused on Goldman Sachs.
Of course, some netizens complained about why they didn’t sell quantum computers to Da Mao and wanted to continue to look at Da Mao’s financial institutions in the Federation and its allies.
The old guys in the Quantum National Shield stock bar had their blood pressure rise when they saw the transaction amount. They dared to sell something worth 5 billion US dollars for 500 million RMB. They all clamored for a thorough investigation of Quantum National Shield. Help the management, whether it has benefited from Alpha Technology.
Zhang Jun vomited blood when he saw this kind of comment. If he had known this earlier, he would never have been able to sell this batch of goods for 500 million RMB, because this time he really lost the benefit.
In addition, there is a rumor circulating on the Simplified Chinese Internet that Alpha Technology is negotiating with Country Garden and trying to package and acquire the Forest City project from Country Garden.
Forest City is a project built by Country Garden in the Malaysian state of Johor during its peak period. It claimed to invest hundreds of billions of dollars and deceived a group of middle-class people from third- and fourth-tier cities in China to take over the project.
The slogan of this project is to live in Malaysia, live a green and ecological life, and enjoy education in the Lion City.
Because Forest City is on the edge of Johor, only a strait separates it from the Lion City.
“According to my son’s aunt who works as a cleaning aunt in Country Garden, Alpha Technology is seeking to take over the Forest City project from Country Garden.”
“But pull it down, they are doing artificial intelligence Why does an intelligence and algorithm company want Country Garden’s Forest City? Just buy it for fun, right?”
“Country Garden’s unfinished project has deceived a lot of people, and now it has begun to cheat on the Internet, and Alpha Technology has taken over. Why don't you say Huawei is going to take over?
When you look at a term, you start to think about it, you will do whatever it takes to sell your house, right? ”
