Trying to have a logical discussion versus the garbage I'm reading about guys under the table and other slander.

Take that attitude to thelogicallayoff.com

"Two Large Hedge Funds that have no direct interest in this deal, unlike Silver Lake Partners and Michael Dell's investment company. That's a ridiculous statement."

Trying to have a logical discussion versus the garbage I'm reading about guys under the table and other slander.

Both invest heavily in China. One tracked two private planes in May 2022. Something perfectly legal. Have no direct interest? thThey are long on a price point in VMW and need the deal to close to see the realize their profits. or risk losing a a ton of $$ if VMW stock drops.

not here to argue, just a perspective. peace.

Correction: there is another guest on the list I did not add to the list because of the way ad is placed in that article.

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock

And the article cited Bloomberg report that the people mentioned in the article comprises full list of people who sat at Xi's table

China is converting all private businesses to Government owned enterprises GEO. All these people at the table who do business with China will be sacrificed.

By the way, I read that there were 400+ attendants at that dinner, including Xi's "old friend" farmers from Iowa. Not to mention Xi was also giving speech at the dinner. That means the crowd was big and Xi's time and attention was probably a rare commodity.

If Hock Tan did not sit at Xi's table, I think the most action he got last night was awkwardly smiling at Xi's direction, hoping to get some recognition out of him

Blackstone already stopped redemptions in its funds. These hedge funds will be destroyed soon as US China trade war intensifies.

True statement: don't overestimate the knowledge of posters who clearly don't understand M&A or arbitrage.

Two Large Hedge Funds at the Table have huge bets on the deal closing before 11/26 as do a lot of Hedge Funds. Don't underestimate their influence.

Why would the emperor sell tickets for a dinner? Nonsense.

Agreed, harvesting profits by cutting headcount raising customer prices from your legacy vendor acquisitions won't earn you a seat at the Influential Leaders table.
