On tenterhooks rather baffling, bubbles
seem to be in the west at the turn of the century. These rumors always love to mix with disasters. Especially when they are in a thousand years, these rumors are particularly exaggerated. It is said that when the 1000 coming of the year, the persistent plagues and famine made Europe feel uneasy. Many people thought that the end of the day was coming. 。
Even in 2000, this is still the case. The most famous prophecy of Nostra danmas and the millennium bug, one involving mysticism and the other involving science, complement each other. This is probably related to religious factors rooted in western society. [search for the latest updates]
of course, at the moment that the most luxurious crystal ball in Times Square falls and the Millennium bell rings, the terror Lord does not fall from the sky, and the nuclear bomb does not jump to 00 and then launch because of the timer. The world is still running, a scene of singing and dancing.
Hollywood, in particular, has pushed the film industry to a new peak in the past decade, and a large number of Outstanding Directors and producers have sprung up. Among them, Adrian Cowell, known as a miracle director, is the most famous. By the end of the millennium, as many as 15 films had been made and released by him personally, and the global box office has nearly reached $3 billion.
If you look at the split, although the score is good, it is not surprising. James Cameron has directed only six films so far. Titanic alone has grossed more than 2 billion box office worldwide, while Steven Spielberg has nearly 3 billion at the North American box office. But the problem is that some things need to be combined with reality. Adrian only took less than 10 years to complete these works. Moreover, these films have all kinds of styles, which are dazzling. Many people say that no style is his style.
What's more, this calculation is all about his own directed films. If you add those works related to him, basically no one can compare them.
Moreover, Adrian is not only a director and producer, but also a very young chairman of AC media, who is comparable to Viacom and news group. Moreover, it took less than 10 years from its establishment to its present scale. Acquisition of T
s, acquisition of a
C acquisition of global film, however, has made concerted efforts, Few mistakes, rocket like development speed can be called magic and can not be copied, attracting many scholars to study.
Adrian has made great contributions to the rapid stabilization of T
s, a
C and Universal Pictures. He can always think of some excellent stories with high commercial value and make them into films or TV series. At present, several real person shows with the highest ratings are related to him. All these have given him numerous titles and trump cards The drama, the miracle director, the gold medal producer, and no one questioned - anyone who questioned was puffed up in the face.
His eyes are always talked about, countless directors, actors, producers want to cooperate with him, especially actresses, even if they know that he is a famous playboy.
The media named the actress who worked with Adrian as "miracle girl." everyone knew that he had a good relationship with them, even though there were few pictures of other women alone with him except Julia Roberts. There are even rumors that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, Hollywood's golden girls, will divorce because of him.
And it's all public information. As for those who are only known by insiders, that's more. As long as Adrian is still very enthusiastic about the actress, it's not hard for him to get such enthusiasm.
He can always accurately grasp the characteristics of women. Kate Blanchett, one of the "Wonder Girls", won the Best Actress Oscar at the beginning of last year because of him. Gwyneth Paltrow, who is also a "wonder girl", has been nominated for best actress in several Oscars because of him. The full-fledged "Legend of Sicily" was released in January when it was released early It is certain that the best actress nomination of this year's Oscar will be won by Monika BELLUCCI, another "miracle girl" who has been silent for nearly a year.
With power, power and talent, how can actresses not be forced to move forward? However, the popular miracle director is now doing something that has nothing to do with the film.
"It's all gone?" In the spacious office, Adrian at his desk looked at Claude and asked.
"Not yet, but soon," said Claude with a smile. "Don't worry, haven't you finished yet?"
Then he turned the LCD panel to him: "Cisco's market value is over 500 billion, which is crazy."
In 1998, apple developed the LCD, and then a year later, the LCD flat panel display also came out. I have to say, jobs is really a tough guy. As Apple's shareholders, Adrian and Claude use Apple computers normally, and it's no problem to customize special LCD flat-panel displays.However, it is depressing that apple never provides a mouse with a left button, and no matter how users react and protest, they are not willing to give in. Although Apple's technology is powerful, it is also stubborn in some aspects. Fortunately, Apple has been compatible with other mice since last year, otherwise Adrian would have to struggle with the LCD and mouse.
"yes, this is the bubble, and it may break whenever and wherever possible." Adrian nodded.
In the past year, it stocks have gone crazy and began to soar. Cisco, with a market value of more than 100 billion yuan at the beginning of last year, has passed the 500 billion mark in mid January 2000. The same is true of other it stocks, such as Microsoft and Dell. The market value of Microsoft has also exceeded 500 billion. The market value of Yahoo has exceeded 100 billion, and e
ay also has tens of billions.
This is what makes all investors and investors crazy. If you invest one dollar, it will become tens of dollars in a few days and hundreds of dollars in a few months. No wonder some people will shout that this is the best time.
But is that really the case? Regardless of the crazy market value, a little attention to the actual assets of these companies will make people gasp. For the same big companies with a market value of more than 500 billion, Cisco's actual assets are only more than 10 billion, while Microsoft's is not more than 40 billion. And general electric, which has the largest market value for a long time, has an actual assets of more than 500 billion, almost equal to the market value!
the value of a company in the stock market must be built on the real assets of the enterprise. If the market value exceeds the real assets, it will become a bubble and very unstable. CISCO's real assets are only about 10000000000, but its market value has reached 500 billion, and it is a common phenomenon in IT enterprises. This is not a big bubble that may break at any time. What is it?
As a matter of fact, most financial institutions have realized this to some extent, but what's the use of knowing? Some things will not be changed by human will. When the bubble breaks down, even the Wall Street Gang is not sure about the guys waiting for the money to get away and earn money. What's more, there are still many people who applaud the strong it shares, and speculators and brain dazed people everywhere.
As a reborn, Adrian naturally began to prepare. At the beginning of 1999, he let regert quietly begin to sell his stock and transfer his stock. Stock is not a lot of value in hand, but it can be sold after customer service. Every selling will cause the fluctuation of stock price. Once the amount of disposable throw is very huge, it may burst the bubble ahead of time, and several big investment banks are always ready to get away.
You know, if Adrian holds the stocks of Cisco and Microsoft, the market value of them will be at least 60 billion yuan. Once they fall into the stock market, they will collapse immediately without any discussion. At that time, the stocks will be a pile of waste paper, and it will be very lucky to recover two or three billion yuan. Moreover, the tax that needs to be paid has not been included.
In addition, AC media group itself and Claude also own part of it stocks respectively. Together, the number is even greater. Therefore, we must be careful when selling, we must grasp the degree of the hearts of some people, so that they can lift the affected share prices for more benefits, instead of selling them together to let the bubble burst ahead.
In a sense, Adrian is taking food from the mouth of a tiger. Although he is already a media tycoon, AC media is also one of the few media groups. Compared with some people on Wall Street, it is still not enough to see and has a little less experience. The whole process used countless accounts, and each operator tried his best to grasp the disk. Fortunately, there was no problem.
In addition, under the pretext of needing money, for example, AC media transferred most of the shares of Yahoo to Jerry Yang on the ground of competing with Bertelsmann for Random House. Every founder wants to control the company in his own hands, and Jerry Yang is no exception, even if AC media doesn't interfere too much with Yahoo's affairs.
However, Bertelsmann still won the Langdon house, but it cost a lot more. Adrian said earlier that there was no Langdon house, there was Houghton Mifflin publishing house, and in a few years, it would not even need to expand this area. At present, its publishing company is famous for its Harry Potter series.
All in all, up to now, except for some stocks that are considered from the future, such as apple and Amazon, it goes without saying that the former is definitely a fool to sell now, while the latter, CEO Jeff Bezos, is a rare talent. When the IT bubble began to expand, the market value of each company increased, and only when he was under pressure from all sides, he maintained the steady development of Amazon.
Most of Amazon's shareholders are very dissatisfied when they see other people making a lot of money. Many people contact Adrian and Claude's agents in it, hoping that they will come forward to put pressure on Bezos. After all, the shares they hold together are the major shareholders of Amazon. However, after thinking for a long time, Adrian and Claude declined their proposal, and even helped Bezos share some of the pressure.If you just want to make a lot of money, it's very simple. As a major shareholder, unite all shareholders to force Bezos to absorb more capital, and then increase it dozens of times, and withdraw when it is tens of billions. But how much can it earn? You know, it took more than a year to cash out those stocks. Moreover, the CEO of it, a far sighted company like him, is few. If he resigns after the bubble burst, then what happens to Amazon?
Well, even if Amazon goes bankrupt, there will be other e-commerce websites to replace it, but that is out of Adrian's control. Although he doesn't know who the CEO of Amazon was in his previous life, he also remembers that it has been developing very well, and Amazon also occupies a certain position in his plan. Of course, he can also deliberately use this method to bankrupt Amazon, then make a full-scale acquisition, and then hire Bezos back, but it will take a lot of time, and who knows what will happen in the middle of the way. Besides, it is not in line with his vision of the future.
So, it's better to help Bezos now, and he's made enough of it. After that a few confirmed stocks cashed out, in addition to paying taxes and dividends, Adrian made almost 20 billion! This number looks a little far from the market value of 60 billion, but don't forget it's cash! And it's his own! Which private person can take out such cash at one time?! Even Cisco now has no more than 10 billion reserves! And it's almost the same as that made by Claude and AC media as a whole, even though the whole group has no more shares to sell in the future.
At the same time, the company sold off 1 of its shares in general electric, and bought the shares of General Electric in 1. In this country, those who control the energy and arms business are the real giants. Otherwise, how could GE's real assets match its market value? This super enterprise, whose origin can be traced back to the last century, is the largest defense supplier of the United States. From aircraft to missiles, there is nothing they can't produce. They also provide neutron generators for the
61 nuclear bomb. To put it bluntly, if GM is going to collapse, the United States will be almost finished.
It seems useless, but Adrian himself doesn't want to enter Ge, and GM's financial statements can sometimes play a big role, and get some useful information better and faster. To put it bluntly, just as he invested in Blackwater in 1997, he ignored most of the time except to know the situation to prevent being kicked out. He just wanted to share a small piece of cake with the giants.
took advantage of the IT bubble and Adrian made a lot of money, but he was not ready to close his hands. Although the sale and transfer had come to an end, there were other ways to make money and earn more and easier.
"I have to remind you, ED, that predicting dates is the most critical and the most difficult." Claude said.
"Yes, I know. When do you think it will be?" Adrian nodded as he watched the computer screen.
"It's hard to say, I'm afraid no one in America knows. Even the guys who are ready can't be sure when the best shot will be," Claude shook his head. "You're gambling again, man."
Is there any way in the world that is easy and can make a lot of money? Of course, that's futures speculation! In a few days, tens of thousands of dollars may turn into millions, and hundreds of millions into tens of billions. It's like magic. The profits are so rich that many people will persevere. Even if they know that the risk is equally high, if one is not careful, he will be a millionaire today and he will go bankrupt tomorrow. When the
it bubble burst, at least more than a trillion dollars of money was flowing in the derivative financial market. How could it be possible? Moreover, futures are not stocks. As long as someone takes orders, they are not afraid to get money. Speculation futures does not need too much profound knowledge, the key is to be able to accurately predict the date.
At the beginning, Adrian relied on Claude's speculation in oil futures to obtain further start-up funds, and the most important thing for Claude to successfully complete the task was that Adrian gave him the accurate date for the US military to launch the attack.
but the world is developing linearly. Although some things are inevitable, such as the Gulf War, and the collapse of the IT bubble, some are very accidental, such as the time of war and bubble burst. Adrian has never been a gambler. Although he has been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City several times, he has never gambled heavily. He preferred to let everything go according to his own plan rather than spending money on stimulus. Nine years ago, he was forced to speculate in oil futures because he did not have enough influence on the world at that time, which was totally worth gambling.
can not do now. He vaguely recalled that the IT bubble burst in the previous years should be in early February of 2000. But in the past year, because of his continuous cash and transfer of shares, the volatile stock market is certainly different from the previous generation. So CISCO's market value has broken 500 billion at the moment. There are very few companies that can reach this level, so it will be difficult for the bubble to break ahead of time. Yes.
"On second thought, we'll find a clue." Adrian continued."I don't understand. You've made enough money. Why take such a big risk?" Claude quipped.
He is right. AC media's actual assets are estimated to be at least 50 billion yuan. Adrian, who owns 45 shares, has more than 20 billion yuan. If it is listed, including those virtual assets, the market value of the group will at least double. In addition to the current 20 billion earned back and some real estate, there is no pressure to surpass the lid and become the richest person in the world.
What's more, there are many industries waiting for him to develop in the future. When the time comes, his wealth will only grow further, and there is no need to take risks. Unfortunately, this is also the reason why he did so. Anyway, there are still opportunities in the future, and he only took 10 billion to buy and fall. Even if he lost, he could afford to lose.
