Chapter 738 Stepping on Landmines Again
"Tom, why are you so anxious, you are sweating profusely, you are planning to lose weight."
"Boss, don't be in a hurry, this time the trouble is serious, and the entire IT industry may be shaken."
"Cut, comparable to IBM layoffs, 8 billion losses are fine."
"Boss, although it is not so outrageous, the loss this time will not be small."
William White became serious. From this point of view, this matter is measured in billions, otherwise, Fat Tom would never say that.
"Well, Lisa, get this guy a bottle of ice water and a towel, Tom, you're going to lose weight."
"Ahem, boss, let's not talk about this for now. There is a problem with Intel's CPU. A university professor discovered that one of the logic calculations is wrong."
"Damn, it's over now, what are those idiots waiting for, hurry up and call them back."
"Boss, their in-house engineers have actually figured out that, according to them, the chance of error is one in a million.
If the professor hadn't been calculating the numerical model, this kind of problem would never have occurred. "
William White was a little funny. How did the two great masters of Intel think about it? Do they really think they are making game consoles?
"Heh, I think it's time for AMD to pop the champagne. That's just a little bit ahead, alas, it's true.
Tom, you are right, this is a huge hole, if not handled well, the stock prices of Compaq and Dell will fall. By the way, tell the memory factory quickly and let them adjust their production capacity.
Ma De, fortunately, my game console is easy to sell, this shit, at least a month of tossing. "
Some people have said, what a big deal it is, it would be good if each person gets a piece of CPU, and they can change it at home.
Well, DIY basically started from Pentium. Before that, the CPU was soldered on the motherboard. Besides, you really can't expect much from a country that can use CDROMs as cup holders.
It's been an exciting year for the bigwigs on Wall Street. I just saw IBM's semi-annual report with a huge loss of 8 billion, followed by Intel's latest CPU accident.
In the face of this difficult situation, Intel's response is fairly appropriate. Well, in fact, it’s nothing, just replace it for free for customers.
This is actually quite strange in the United States. If you discover your mistakes and take the initiative to take responsibility, you will not be punished. The public will think that you are a responsible company. Of course, changing this CPU is not so easy.
People who are very proficient in computers are not necessarily familiar with the hardware, they are more familiar with the software codes. These school masters who use the server often behave like idiots. Hehe, keyboard players usually don't turn screwdrivers.
Bad luck for Big Blue and HP, as well as Oracle and Sun Micro. The first two are providers of small servers. The latter two provide database services. Although the servers based on the Pentium CPU have not been sold much, the distribution of users is too wide.
Of course, the most unlucky must be Compaq and Dell. If you do this, my factory can stop production. Nima, where can I find so many after-sales service personnel.
In fact, these bastards should be lucky, it’s better to find out early than late, if this happens a year later, my God, you’ll just wait to lose money.
"Hey, this guy didn't short Nasdaq. Could it be that he, William White, has become a vegetarian, or that this crisis has little impact."
"Boss, if he does this, he may violate relevant regulations."
Soros looked at his subordinate speechlessly, damn, go and see the holdings of this guy before talking about other things. All of them are long-term holdings, and shorting is just for hedging.
Besides, with so many legal talents, could it be that they can't be displayed.
"Boss, what I said was wrong."
"It's not wrong, William White doesn't care. As long as the short-selling funds are not excessive, no one can say anything. After all, he is not naked short-selling."
"So, he is still optimistic about the follow-up performance of Nasdaq."
"That should be the meaning. Don't rush to short. After all, what we are good at is currency."
In fact, Soros should be thankful that if he aggressively shorted technology stocks, he would definitely be attacked. It's more money than William White, we don't take it so funny.
This pot belongs only to the Intel family. The current decline is just a panic in the market. Wait two days to see if there is nothing wrong, and the funds will come back again.
If you, Soros, encountered this situation, you would really cry without tears.
Selling short is actually very risky. If you cannot repurchase and cancel in time, you will face lawsuits.
"Al, what's going on now?"
"Bill, the situation has improved. Except for Intel's stock price, which is a bit sluggish, other stocks have gotten rid of the decline."
"That's strange, those greedy vampires, why this time." Clinton was really aggrieved. Who would have thought that the IT industry, which has been booming all the way, would come to a sudden stop.
"It's actually not surprising. These are just panic selling. As for those Wall Street giants, William White, the guy with the most stocks, since they are indifferent, they will not make much move."
Classmate Lao Ke is very speechless, there are such products everywhere. Could this be the fate in the legend.
Actually, this guy is a little neurotic.
Short Nasdaq?
William White would never have done it if he hadn't become an idiot.
His asset allocation is actually a bit biased, and the largest part is the IT industry. Engaging in his own assets, William White is not crazy.
Besides, how much can you short. Doing things for this little profit is really not worth the candle.
"Honey, are you tired today?"
"How do you know?" Jiaxin's little beauty gave this guy a blank look, and usually helped him massage, this guy is always dishonest.
"Your neck is a little stiff, relax a little bit. There's some tightness in your shoulder muscles, too."
"Yes, there are a lot of worries recently. This period of time can be regarded as a running-in period. After the mid-term elections, it's time for the donkey to have a headache."
"Husband, that guy is the president, will it be all right?"
"Haha, what's the matter, in a few months, he will become a lame duck. Hehe, by then, no bill will be passed easily."
Normally, William White seldom came home to talk about these things. Pretending to be a master in the company is already annoying enough, if you continue to pretend to be a money maker when you go home.
"Honey, I passed by MJ's villa just now, why did he move the playground to his house?"
"Hehe, this is not a good idea. This guy really knows nothing but singing. Let's put it this way, this is actually a disease. Living in a fantasy world all the time is actually very dangerous."
"Don't talk nonsense, anyway, he is rich, and he likes to play games at home, although it's a bit weird, it's just a personal hobby."
What the little beauty Jiaxin said was basically the truth. The people of American imperialism live a very casual life. Generally speaking, there are indeed many personal hobbies.
Some like guns, and even have tanks at home. For those who like cars, their own garage is more professional than a repair shop. For what they like, they don't care about the bill.
However, it's okay to play in the playground by yourself, and invite others to come, then there is a problem.
What to do if there is an accident, in case someone gets hurt, it's no joke. Also, who do you invite to play? If it's a family, that's not a big problem, but if it's a child, you must be careful.
