......
undoubtedly,
Those invited to today's charitable fund-raising event are all American super-rich people with powerful influence in the political and business worlds.
Zhu Ke was also among the invited students.
Media reporters from all over the United States kept pressing the shutter of the camera, and the flash flashed in it.
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely hot!
If you put aside the theme of "charitable fundraising activities for the victims of the 9/11 incident" and simply look at the fiery atmosphere at the scene, you will definitely think that this is a world-wide summit of high-end entrepreneurs.
Who made the scene of the super rich too many, too many?
As far as today is concerned, the sum of the personal wealth of the super-rich gathered here is absolutely a terrifying number.
"Green dollars!"
"Everyone is rich, and they are all super rich rich people!"
"To be able to gather such a large number of super-rich to come, it is not enough to have a name in the New York City market. Among the previous New York mayors, only Michael Bloomberg has this face!"
The editor-in-chief of The New York Times could not help but sigh.
Everyone remembered and nodded.
......
They're right, only Michael Bloomberg has this face, and if it were President Bush to convene the fundraiser, it would certainly be far worse.
The person sitting next to Zucker is John Menard Jr., the owner of Maynards Home Improvement, one of the largest personal home improvement chain brands in the United States, who is Zucker's friend over 60 years old.
"Zuck, I learned from yesterday's evening financial news that you really invested a lot of money? Or military stocks and grain and oil futures?"
asked Menard in a low voice.
"Yes."
Zucker nodded heavily.
The news has been stabbed out by the media, and Zucker has nothing to hide. Besides, there is no need to cover up.
Hearing this, Menard's old face couldn't help but exclaimed: "You really have the courage, and the hundreds of millions of dollars in funds will be smashed."
"To interrupt you, more than $1 billion went in to be exact."
Zucker responded indifferently.
"..."
After a long time, Menard woke up from the shock, gave a thumbs up, and said: "Now the world's capital is frantically shorting the stock market, futures, and foreign exchange markets, speculating wildly to make a fortune, and only you dare to spend a lot of money to go long. Amazing, very courageous!"
"Ha ha."
Zu Ke smiled and said: "You also said that I only go long in military stocks and grain and oil futures. If I change other... If I dare to go long, it will probably take me an hour. The billions of dollars invested will be swallowed by them."
Menard nodded.
He said with lingering fears: "It's true. Now, the combined capital volume of overseas capital and Wall Street capital who are crazy short in the financial market is definitely more than 3 trillion US dollars, not to mention more than one billion US dollars, it is ten times more, In the end, it can only be turned over a wave."
After the outbreak of 9/11, no less than 150 high-tech companies and Internet companies have collapsed in the past few days, and as time goes by, the number of collapsed companies will continue to increase.
They survived the Internet bubble in early 2000, but still fell under the madness of a group of capital speculators.
Every industry is a mess.
You say, can Menard not have lingering fears?
"So your Menards home decoration has also been greatly affected?" Zucker asked.
"Definitely!"
Menard said coldly: "In just a few days, my company has lost at least hundreds of millions of dollars. The total number of personal home improvement orders that have gone to waste has exceeded 3,000 orders. Damn terrorist!"
Hearing this, Zu Ke couldn't help but laugh.
Menard: "..."
Zuke quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at you, how can you still grit your teeth like this when you are so old."
After a pause, Zhu Ke said solemnly: "Think about it in another way, your Menards home improvement will suffer such a huge loss, so your competitors are probably not much better? Moreover, occupy the middle and lower reaches, the strength Isn't it even worse for a small and medium-sized personal home improvement company that is far less powerful than your company?"
Menard's eyes lit up.
The bad impact of 9/11 is both a huge blow and an opportunity for big companies.
Large companies suffered heavy losses, lost market value, and lost a large amount of liquidity;
On the other hand, what about SMEs?
That's definitely... miserable!
In just a few days, the next batch has fallen!
Taking the field of personal home improvement as an example, the closure of a large number of small and medium-sized home improvement companies will inevitably lead to a vacuum in the market, so Menard’s home improvement under the name of Menard can quickly seize the market and gain more by relying on its huge volume. market share.
Well, it's still the kind that doesn't cost too much.
Big fish eat small fish, and instantly evolve into a giant!
In fact, in the original time and space, Menard's home improvement under Menard's name was able to rise rapidly and grow into a giant company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars. Otherwise, if he wants to eliminate the competitors of those small and medium-sized companies, he will definitely need to spend a lot of human, financial and material resources.
"Man, you are so right!"
At this moment, flowers bloomed on Menard's old face instantly.
He laughed happily.
Zhu Ke smiled and said, "You don't have to be too thankful. The reason why you can't think of this is just because your current energy is entangled in the loss. I believe that even if I don't remind you, it won't take long for you to figure it out yourself."
Click!

......
The sound of the camera shutter being pressed is endless.
Terrence Field, a senior reporter of Fortune magazine, suddenly interviewed Zucker: "Mr. Wald, can I interview you a few words?"
Zu Ke's expression was slightly cold.
For Fortune, even though it is one of the most influential financial media in the United States, Zucker is very unhappy with it.
Who made it sneer at Zucker?
Zu Ke suddenly thought of something, looked at his watch, it was already 10 am, so the corner of his mouth raised slightly: "You ask."
what?
Zu Ke should not think about it, he knew that he must be asking Dafeng Capital to allocate a lot of money to enter military stocks and grain and oil futures.
" "The second is sent.
