Hollywood Hunter - Chapter 1701: : biased
Charlotte Brenita arrived at the Cersei Capital headquarters in midtown Manhattan with an assistant, passing by the open staff office area, when she happened to hear a burst of cheers.
Realizing something, both Charlotte and the reception secretary who was in charge of leading them couldn’t help slowing down and turned to look.
It’s October 30th.
on Monday.
Around 10:50 a.m., and, most crucially, the first day of a new stock trading week.
Because of Daenerys Entertainment’s ‘Embrace the Internet’ conference yesterday, everyone who follows the stock market understands that today will definitely be a very exciting day.
Just as he was about to step forward to distinguish the contents of the big screen on the wall in the office area, the latest iBerry mobile phone in Charlotte’s handbag rang. Mobile phone, open browsing.
This is a message from Aaliyah’s corporate financial information service, which Charlotte subscribes to.
Speaking of which, Verizon’s mobile network, Tinkerbell’s smart iBerry series of mobile phones, and even the Alia financial information service company founded by the B girl, the world is already full of traces of the Westeros system.
While liking this iBerry more and more, Charlotte also has some regrets. The related services can only cover a few countries on this planet. If it is a little more remote, the iBerry will be reduced to a pure functional machine.
The thought flashed by, Charlotte had seen the message on the screen.
At 10:51 a.m. on October 30, 2000, the stock of Tincobair rose 4.6%, with a stock price of US$204.13 and a market value of US$1,000.3 billion, becoming the second trillion-dollar company in the history of each share.
Charlotte stared at the news on the screen for at least five seconds before reacting.
Tin Cobble!
Then there was a little smile.
As an excellent fund manager, Charlotte is indeed more optimistic about Tinkerbell than Daenerys, and believes that this company has a better chance than Daenerys Entertainment to achieve 10,000 yuan before the bubble bursts. billion market value achievement.
However, Daenerys arranged a game so lively yesterday, and as a result, today it was Tinkerbell who first broke the threshold of the trillion-dollar market value. Perhaps, Amy Pascal, who is also familiar in private, probably It will be very depressing.
According to a saying in Chinese that Charlotte has been taking time to learn, this should be, making wedding clothes for others.
Just thinking about this, the voice of his female assistant also came from his ear: “Tin Kebeier, how can it be Tin Kebeier?”
Charlotte glanced at the time in the upper right corner of the screen, did not respond to the female assistant’s doubts, but said to the beautiful blonde reception secretary, “Let’s go upstairs, the time is almost up.”
The reception secretary, who was also full of curiosity and doubts, agreed, made a gesture of invitation, and led the two to the inner elevator. Seeing that Charlotte was still fiddling with the iBerry while walking, and the other two women who both used the same phone couldn’t do that. The reception secretary couldn’t help but be curious and said, “Ms. Brenita, I guess Danny Liz is also very close, right?”
Charlotte smiled. She just flipped to the real-time price list of some stocks she was concerned about. Hearing that, she satisfied the curiosity of the reception secretary: “Daenerys is currently up 2.7%, and it is still 40 billion short.”
The reception secretary nodded with a smile, and said in agreement, “That’s too soon.”
The three entered the elevator, and when the reception secretary pressed the button, the assistant beside him also said, “Boss, what about Igret, I think this is the one that everyone should pay more attention to?”
Charlotte said: “The industry predicts that the Nasdaq market will rise by about 2% today, and the volatility of Igret’s stock price will be similar, and it will not exceed 1.2 trillion today.”
At the close of last Friday, Igreit’s market value had exceeded the $1.1 trillion mark, reaching $1.1219 trillion.
Not to mention a fraction of 120 billion, just a fraction of more than 20 billion US dollars, which exceeds the total market value of more than 90% of companies in the global stock market.
While such a corporate giant leads the U.S. stock market, it also makes everyone a little worried. It climbs too high and falls hard. Therefore, the trading volume is not as good as the subsequent ones, and the growth rate of the stock price slows down.
Curiosity was satisfied, the two women around her didn’t talk much, and Charlotte was able to think about something.
As an important liaison between the Westeros system and Swiss capital, Charlotte Brenita was initially able to approach a tycoon, relying on some new technology investment-related projects, and she is naturally very optimistic about the Internet. development prospects.
Therefore, before the burst of the new tech bubble in March 1997, Charlotte had already begun to invest her excess private savings in technology stocks, fluctuating during the period, and the overall returns were huge.
Then, as the Nasdaq became more and more crazy, since the Fed started the interest rate hike cycle again in July, Charlotte has been reducing its holdings, and the current position has less than 30% left.
Perhaps, you can call your stockbroker at noon, and it is time to completely liquidate your position.
Smart people can no longer be greedy at this time.
Moreover, this is not a permanent abandonment. When the bubble bursts and the price of technology stocks returns to a certain normal level, she will re-buy it.
Leaving the elevator, the reception secretary took Charlotte Brenita to a rest room outside an office, served coffee, and said, “Wait a minute, Mr. Westeros will be here soon.”
After thanking Charlotte, she sat down on the sofa and continued to browse the various news on iBerry while she waited.
Simon is in another conference room on the same floor.
In addition to himself, Leon Black, the president of Apollo Management, and a group of guests from Ukraine, mainly Vladimir Korkoshko and Ann, two governors supported by the Westeros system The core of the Rovno gang, such as Andrei Smirnov, Sergei Komorov, chairman of the Aldek company, and the only outsider is Viktor Pinchuk, the son-in-law of the current president, who is a representative of the Kyiv authorities .
The meeting in the morning mainly discussed the investment plan of the Westeros system in Ukraine next year.
While continuing to invest in the light industry complex of Rivne State, starting next year, Simon plans to strengthen the support of several major heavy industries such as Ukrainian steel, electric power, shipbuilding, and railways.
The Westeros system has already been involved in related fields in Ukraine, and this time it is more clear about some development ideas.
To put it simply, while supporting the development of Rovno to Odessa Xiu, whether it is steel, electricity or shipbuilding, it can be used for export, and the focus is on exporting to Africa.
Why Ukraine?
Because of the cost!
For example, the African region, where Simon plans to continue operating, is poor and white, and wants to build a power plant. If developed countries, whether it is American units or French equipment, will definitely not be able to use them. Relatively speaking, as long as the industrial base left by the former Soviet Union can be picked up, Ukraine will have a strong cost advantage in related fields.
Speaking of steel or shipbuilding, etc., the same is true.
The technology left over from the Soviet era may not be as high-end and sophisticated as the West, but for backward countries like Africa, as long as it can be used, it is enough. Other efficiencies, environmental protection, etc., do not need to be considered too much for the time being.
Of course, Simon did not forget a great eastern country on the other side of the ocean that also has a huge cost advantage, and will also allocate a large number of cooperation projects in the future. However, it is still the same sentence, eggs cannot be put in one basket.
Ukraine is also just a small basket in Simon’s plan.
At eleven o’clock, the two-hour meeting ended on time. Simon and Korkoshko and the others made an appointment to see each other at the noon reception. They sent everyone away, and turned to their conference room here.
Walking through the corridor, Carmen Keith, who was beside him, saw the needle: “Boss, ten minutes ago, another one broke a trillion, it’s Tincober.”
Simon paused, having the same idea as Charlotte, laughed and shook his head: “Amy must be very depressed.”
Carmen Keith mentioned Daenerys’ stock price trend again, and then said: “Also, there is a call from the White House, Mr. President wants to call you at noon.”
Simon understood what was happening.
Or the election.
In fact, since Gore and Schlapp split their faces over the weekend, in the past two days, many people in the Washington circle have contacted the core of the Westeros system, or inquired or questioned or doubted or complained, which is the beginning of the sequelae.
Clinton endured for two days, apparently still couldn’t hold back, and also planned to talk to Simon.
However, on the White House side, Simon was least worried.
The thing is simple, if Gore lasts for another eight years, will Hillary still have a chance at the top?
You must know that electoral politics in Western countries generally has a pendulum effect. Even if a political party does a good job, over time, voters who have accumulated various dissatisfaction will subconsciously switch to the other side.
Just like in Germany later, the typical pendulum effect, too many good days…and then all kinds of trouble.
Now, Clinton has been eight years, and if Gore has another eight years, it will be difficult for Hillary to follow in 2008.
History has been messed up more and more by Simon, and 2008 can’t be topped. Who knows how long it will take, or will populism arise and repeat the same mistakes as in 2016?
Simon ditched Gore, and instead benefited the Clintons.
Thinking of this, he instructed Carmen to confirm the call time, and Simon has come to the outside of his office.
Charlotte Brenita in the rest room was fiddling with her iBerry mobile phone with her head down. She was reminded by the assistant. She looked up and saw Simon. She quickly stood up and said, “Simon, good morning.”
Simon greeted, hugged the Swiss girl gently, and asked with a smile, “What are you looking at?”
“A piece of news,” Charlotte put iBerry away, and Simon went all the way to the office, while continuing: “About the box office of The Conjuring 4: Reaper, $51.36 million in three days, that’s amazing.”
Simon had read the report in the morning and nodded slightly: “Have you seen the movie, how do you feel?”
“Oh, not yet,” Charlotte said, subconsciously adding: “I plan to take time to see it recently.”
Simon sensed Charlotte’s tone and said with a smile, “If you’re not the type you like, don’t force it.”
Charlotte responded, and sat down with the man on the sofa in the reception area of the office, remembering the news she had received before, and asked, “Simon, do you know, the market value of Tincober?”
“Just found out,” Simon still smiled: “I was wondering if I should call Amy and comfort her.”
I was busy with a lot of work, and the result was that the next door broke a trillion, and I was a little crazy just thinking about it.
Charlotte laughed along.
Carmen brought coffee, the two paused their conversation, Simon took a sip, put down the cup, and turned to the topic: “Tell me about your trip to Southeast Asia this time.”
Charlotte Brenita just came to America from Asia.
To be precise, it was from Singapore to New York.
Of course, it is still a matter of investing in the Westeros system in Southeast Asia.
Simon doesn’t like putting investment targets in one basket, and similarly, the more shell baskets there are for investing, the better. Switzerland has always been the best place to hide capital and make shells. Charlotte Brenita, who was born in a Swiss financial family, naturally became one of Simon’s many white gloves in Switzerland.
During this trip to Southeast Asia, Charlotte Brenita mainly inspected the investment prospects of the technology industry such as network and communications in various countries and regions. After listening to Simon’s question, she cheered up and began to talk about it.
Overall, Charlotte is not optimistic.
Because the development of Southeast Asia is extremely uneven, either it is Singapore, which is too small, or Indonesia, which is backward and closed. If you want to open up the situation, it is difficult to see results without ten years of operation.
Charlotte’s personal suggestion is to try to invest in the communications industry in Southeast Asia first, to improve the foundation, and then consider a higher level of network services.
Of course, different regions still have to be distinguished.
Singapore, for example, can now invest in deeper network technology, and can use Singapore as a base to launch various network products developed directly to neighboring countries.
The communication industry in Southeast Asia, whether it is Verizon or AOL, has actually begun to try to enter it very early.
Because it is not paid much attention, the progress is average.
In Asia, the main targets of the two companies are Japan, South Korea and China. Either the economy is sufficiently developed or the market is sufficiently large.
Now, the time has come to 2000, entering the new century, coupled with the large layout strategy of the Westeros system itself, it is also time to increase investment.
Inside the office.
Simon chatted with Charlotte Brenita for an hour, very much agreeing with the manager’s point of view, and motioning for the other party to sort out a written investment plan as soon as possible, and the meeting came to an end.
When going out, Simon remembered and said, “Also, let’s come together at a reception later.”
A short hour seemed to pass by in a blink of an eye, and Brenita was a little reluctant. Hearing this, he nodded subconsciously, but felt that he was not restrained enough, and added: “Simon, what kind of reception?”
“Accommodating guests from Ukraine,” Simon said, and smiled again: “In recent years, you have also developed a lot of business in Ukraine, right?”
Charlotte heads.
You know, a few years ago, the first time I saw the young tycoon around me was actually in Ukraine.
At that time, in order to stabilize her position in the family consortium, Charlotte took the initiative to develop a business and tried to invest in the popular Instagram project. She was unexpectedly summoned to Ukraine, where she met a certain military theme park that is now well-known in Europe. people.
Think more deeply.
Um.
Somewhat resentful.
Because, at that time, knowing some things about a man in private, Brenita had already made some psychological preparations. However, after all these years, there was also some private intimacy, but…
Think of a girl who is flowing like water around a man.
Charlotte Brenita even had some self-doubt.
Do not doubt your own charm.
But… well, she is a little confused, has she slept or not?
Simon didn’t know what the girl beside him was thinking, seeing that she suddenly didn’t speak or was in a hurry, he got into the elevator, and then continued: “Whether it’s Ukraine or Asia, besides investment, I also really hope you can help me connect, whether it’s Ukraine or Asia. Financial savings, or studying abroad and immigrating, um, remember that you have always done this, right?”
Charlotte retracted her thoughts, glanced at the man beside her, and quickly said, “Yes.”
Simon didn’t have a gap, and continued: “You can increase investment in this part,” and then turned to Carmen: “You record it, discuss it with Charlie in private, and organize a document for me.”
Carmen didn’t understand why his boss brought this up, but nodded anyway.
Simon did not explain.
Actually, it is very simple.
Attract the rich and powerful from countries such as Ukraine to save in Swiss banks. In the future, if something happens, you don’t even need to say anything from the US side, let the Swiss side come out and say, if you dare, be careful of Switzerland Gold coins in the bank.
At that time, countless people will tremble.
What you want to do, before you know it, maybe it will be done!
As for neutral status?
Actually, it’s really not that important.
Because there is no choice.
After all, do you dare to save back to your own country, or transfer to the UK, or the US?
Is it possible to send it to Africa?
Those black uncles with white teeth were too happy.
Thank you for the gift of nature!
