Chapter 824

William White actually didn't know that there is a kind of hatred in this world called envy, jealousy and hatred.

Nima, why does this business make money? Although ours is not bad, it is far inferior to his.

Not to mention other things, the blue giant that all investors shy away from is actually able to make a profit this year.

"Boss, today's board of directors, something really happened."

"Why, Gerstner raised the butcher's knife again? If you cut it down again, those employees will go crazy."

"It is true that there will be layoffs, but this time the impact will not be large. For Microsoft, it is indeed excellent news."

"What did you say, they dropped the operating system?"

Felson was stunned, but he never thought that William White would have such a big reaction.

"Yes, there will be no more upgrades to OS/2, and the department will be disbanded."

"No, no, Lao Guo must have a tacit understanding with Bill, such an important decision is not a joke.

Alas, the short term will certainly be positive, however, Bill Gates will lose any constraints, or rather, that will determine their uniqueness in the operating system.

This lucky guy is simply a winner in life. "

Filson was a little dazed, the only thing that is not good is that you have so many Microsoft stocks in your hand. When it comes to winners in life, those Wall Street guys are crazy.

"Andy, what do you mean? Big Blue will usher in a long-lost profit?"

"Yes, boss. Moreover, this profit has a certain continuity. Just at the board meeting just now, they raised a topic. The OS/2 operating system will not have a follow-up version."

"What do you mean, Andy, I don't understand it very well?" The boss of Damo was even more confused. He didn't know anything about computers except for simple gestures.

"Boss, because of antitrust interference, there aren't many users of this OS/2 system. Big Blue paid a lot for it.

However, this is the only software on the market that can compare with the Windows system. Big Blue's decision will greatly reduce their deficit.

Also, that Bill Gates will be the biggest beneficiary. "

After listening to his subordinate's report, the old guy was a little speechless. Nima, what is the biggest beneficiary. Yes, Bill Gates has the most shares. But doesn't that bastard William White still hold shares in IBM?

"Andy, you just said that IBM will be profitable this year? How many years has it been since they started making money again.

Last year, I remember they lost close to 10 billion last year. "

"Yes, boss. About nine billion. According to the third quarterly report, this year's profit may exceed three billion."

"So many? Damn, how much did the White Fund buy last year?"

"Ahem, less than 5%."

The old guy's eyeballs turned red, shit, last year, IBM's valuation was less than US$30 billion. If the profit is 3 billion, the 15 times PE also has a valuation of 45 billion.

Your uncle, making a profit of 50% in one year is not making money at all, it is stealing money. Still very efficient.

What? Morgan Stanley has trillions of assets, so he doesn't care about these, does he?

Oh, what are you kidding. A single income of more than US$500 million is very rare on Wall Street.

In the sterling crisis in 1992, Soros brought down the entire monetary system, and his income was less than one billion pounds.

Earn more than William White, right?

Haha, you are wrong in this calculation. Investing in securities and hedge funds are two different things. Not to mention the less risky ones. If you hold them for a long time, there is basically no tax.

Most importantly, these are very liquid assets. If he, William White, needs funds, he can immediately use these stocks to mortgage two billion.

Don't worry, there are definitely a lot of banks willing to give money, even if you borrow less. As for the interest, it will definitely surprise you.

If it's just these things, the old guy is at most envious, not envious. Big Blue terminated the OS/2 project, and the biggest beneficiary was Microsoft.

He William White is also a major shareholder of Microsoft.

Well, it's not a matter of one plus one equals two. Obviously, Big Blue and Microsoft have communicated. Then, this will be a relatively long-term win-win situation.

What is the stock to buy?

future cash value.

Once this news is announced, you don't have to think about it, the stocks of the two companies will definitely take off.

In fact, there is no reason for the old guy to be jealous of William White. Didn't you follow suit when he opened a position in the White Fund?

Nima, if you can't hold stocks, you can blame others for this.

"That's it for now, Andy, I'm not feeling well."

"Boss, I'll call Dr. Smith for you."

"Well, pass me that medicine bottle first, thank you."

Well, Andy isn't worried about the boss's body. In fact, his heart is very blocked now. Nima, later, if it is later, throw it again. There may be no need to sell.

The so-called value investment is actually like this. If the profit meets the expectation, they usually choose to leave the market temporarily.

As an excellent fund manager, being able to guarantee a 10% annual rate of return is pretty good. This thing is the same as gambling, you must leave the market if you reach the profit expectation.

Well, you say Buffett.

Buffett does not hold many stocks for a long time. Besides, Berkshire Hathaway is not an investment bank, and everyone has completely different business ideas.

William White didn't know that the old man was sick. If he knew, he wouldn't need any private doctor, just get two bezoar detoxification pills to extinguish the fire. Hahaha, or, give two placebos. You just need to tell him that this is the most amazing medicine in the world.

If not, you tell him that William White’s investment failed, and billions of dollars were thrown in Mexico and he couldn’t get it back.

"Bill, when will your new version be ready?"

"Fuck, William, didn't you read the briefing? There will be a beta version at the end of the year. If everything goes well, it will be on sale around the summer vacation."

"Dude, my computer crashes three times a day. The most outrageous thing is that it hasn't auto-saved yet. My God, I'm writing a novel, not playing a game. Can we be more reliable?"

William White is really angry, and more than an hour of hard work is in vain. The most troublesome thing was that his thoughts were interrupted, and it was difficult for him to adjust to the previous state.

Well, since the state is no longer good, it's better to call and tease classmate Bill. Nima, it is unreasonable to allow you to disgust me and not allow me to tease you.

"Damn it, I told you, your firewall conflicts with this system."

"Firewall? Bastard, I have a writing computer, how can I go online. Let me tell you, I can't prevent those bastards."

"Damn, you don't need to say, I have a lot of these bastards here. By the way, are you here to amuse me on purpose?"

"Hahaha, I was disgusted by that vulgar plot, so I came to tease you. By the way, what benefits did you give IBM?"

"Nothing? Ahem, what IBM? What do you mean?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, I said it casually, don't take it seriously. By the way, please, don't make so many patches anymore. I'm old and won't keep upgrading the system."

Throwing away William White's phone, Bill Gates had no other expression except for a wry smile. Nima, I was tricked by this guy again.

Obviously, although he did it secretly, he still couldn't hide it from those who cared. Big Blue's operating system is not bad, there is absolutely no reason to give way.
