"The situation is not optimistic!"

At the cocktail party, Alpha frowned and thought in his heart.

After coming out of the lounge behind the Golden Hall, Alpha and Time Warner senior executives began the theme of today's cocktail party.

A trial sale of Time Warner's corporate bonds initiated by Wells Fargo.

Originally, high-quality companies like Time Warner, which have rich historical heritage and sufficient repayment capabilities, are easy to sell.

After all, there are a large number of people who buy those junk bonds, let alone such high-quality bonds.

But today's trial sale is ruled out the early stage of the cocktail party and after the official start.

It took almost half an hour.

The sold price is less than 200 million US dollars.

Although it was impossible to sell all bonds at one time in this kind of trial sale, in the past, when the market was good, more than half of the bonds could be sold at such a high-end cocktail party.

Most of the people who buy this type of bond are trust funds, insurance funds, charitable funds and some corporate clients.

The rest will be sold slowly to individual retail investors.

Originally expected to be sold at least half of the high-quality corporate bonds, but after selling them for so long tonight, they only sold 20% of them.

Alpha has to worry.

It's really not a good time to choose Time Warner this time.

If it were half a year ago, it was the peak of this stock market bull market, Amazon and Apple were clamoring to become the company with a market value of more than $1 trillion.

Not to mention $1 billion at that time.

Even 5 billion is easy to sell.

Not like now.

Alpha was a little worried, and Jeff Bicks, as the president of Time Warner, was even more worried.

Time Warner's current finances are really understated. As the world's forefront of media giant, its revenue is indeed very good.

But their spending is also very exaggerated. Not to mention anything else, Warner Bros. Pictures’ upcoming superhero movie [Aquaman].

Now there is a shortage of publicity funds.

That movie is very good. Jeff has watched the full version in advance. He thinks that Warner Pictures can make a good comeback this time.

But if the box office cannot be presented at its highest level due to insufficient publicity, it would be a bit unfair.

“Is no one willing to buy it?”

Jeff frowned and asked in a low voice: "Where are those trusts? Insurance institutions? Charitable funds! Or what investment companies?"

Alpha shook his head.

"Currently, 154.5 million US dollars have been sold. They are all purchased by these high-quality customers, but they are very cautious and have too little effort to take action!"

Jeff said helplessly: "Oh! Damn stocks are falling!"

"Who said no?!" Alpha also smiled bitterly, "Even our Wells Fargo Bank cannot avoid it..."

The two bigwigs looked at John Mellon, who was hosting this bond sales meeting on the stage, and felt a little sad.

Just when they were a little depressed.

suddenly.

One of the people at the party raised their hands and said loudly: "I am willing to buy 50 million US dollars!"

$50 million!

This number is not a great number for Alpha and Jeff. However, when the previous one sold for only $20 million at a time, such a big number suddenly popped up.

Both of them were excited!

This was sold at one time 1/20!

The two looked at the person talking and found that they were famous Californian planting tycoon Peterk from Northern California.

Poison x tycoon is really rich!

Alpha and Jeff thought at the same time.

I originally thought that after Peterk's big move, it might arouse other people's interest in buying.

But they were disappointed again.

There are very few people who continue to buy bonds later, most of them are Hollywood stars and celebrities who have good relationships with Time Warner.

The key is that the share of buying is a little small.

One hundred thousand and two hundred thousand, up to four hundred thousand or five hundred thousand or more.

Alpha and Jeff really don't like this little money.

It turned out to be over an hour.

Time Warner's corporate bonds of $1 billion were sold at this cocktail party.

It's exactly 21.5%.

There are 79.5% left.

Alpha and Jeff sighed at the same time.

They knew that this would be like this tonight, which was more than half the distance from their original expectations. Although they were a little disappointed, the reality was so I had to accept it.

"Where is that Sefrosa?" Jeff suddenly asked, "He should be interested, right? I'm going to sell him a favor and help him buy more shares in Viacom and CBS!"

Alpha's eyes patrolled the crowd of the cocktail party.

"I didn't see him. Did you leave early?"

"Don't know..."

Just as they were looking for Abel, a voice that made them a little excited suddenly sounded: "Huh? Has it started? Am I a little late?!"

The sound was a little loud, attracting the cocktail party scene of dozens of people who were originally quiet.

Everyone's eyes looked at the source of the sound.

I saw that Abel's suit was a little unrighteous, his tie was crooked, and his clothes were wrinkled, but he walked over with a smile and refreshed look.

See this person appear.

John Mellon on the stage was happy, and Alpha and Jeff off the stage were also a little happy.

The rich man is here!

Some sharp-eyed people noticed another situation.

For example, Anne Hathaway.

She saw three women limping not far behind Abel as he walked over, and the three men quickly dissipated into the crowd.

She noticed...they seemed to be the few female companions who were still talking to her just now.

What happened?

Why did they walk like that?

Anne Hathaway, who was a little straightforward, thought in confusion in her heart.

On the stage, John Mellon smiled and greeted his friends: "It's really started. But it's not over yet. Dear Abel, Time Warner's high-quality corporate debt, don't you come to me?"

This is a bit speechless to Jeff and Alpha... Why does it sound a bit like a product or insurance salesman, the tone of home sales!

No matter what!

Anyway, it's fine if you can sell it!

Time Warner can borrow money, and Wells Fargo can earn interest and handling fees.

"Of course!"

"But I won't buy it for now."

"I'll buy it for the other three ladies first!"

Abel tidied up the suit a little, but found that no matter how hard he did it, he simply gave up this customized high-end suit with a price of at least 200,000 US dollars.

He said with a smile.

“Ms. Melissa Bainoist is willing to invest 5 million to buy Time Warner’s three-year corporate bond.”

"Margot Robbie is also willing to invest 5 million to buy Time Warner's three-year corporate bonds!"

"Ms. Amber Hilder is the same, she is also preparing to buy $5 million!"

"Congratulations! John, you sold $15 million at once!"

John Mellon on the stage was stunned.

These three names seem to be the names of three second- and third-tier Hollywood female celebrities. Do they want to buy Time Warner bonds?
