Chapter 1131 Unrestricted Capitalist
"Moore's Law: The processing power of a computer is proportional to the square of the number of transistors integrated on a microchip, doubling every eighteen months."
"Metcalfe's Law: The value of a computer network is proportional to the square of the number of computers connected to the network. The more people who ask for information, the richer the resource of information rather than the poorer it is."
"Gates' Law of Cultural Hegemony: As soon as an idea pops up in the brains of the digital geniuses in Silicon Valley, the idea is immediately transformed into a tangible technology and spreads quickly."
"In June, Wired magazine lamented Apple's imminent bankruptcy with an apple entangled in thorns on the cover. Jobs, also invented a new concept: the unlimited capitalist."
"They cite the predictions of the thinker Marshall McLuhan in the sixties that the age of unrestricted capitalism has finally arrived."
"The unrestricted capitalists who suddenly emerged in telecommunications, genetics, nano, microelectronics, and even cultural and sports industries are so-called: new people created by new technological forces. They have new concepts, new thinking, new ideas, and new ways of thinking , relying on intangible assets, securities investment, equity operation and value rediscovery, rather than exploiting others, traditional industries, and inheriting family industries to get rich quickly..."
"Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Anderson, Jim Clark, Larry Larson in the technology industry...Hollywood's Katzenberg, George Lucas, Spielberg...even basketball star Michael Jordan, singer APLUS Be one of them."
"Most of these people are cold-blooded and ruthless, believe in technological MAXism, have strong power and belief, unrivaled charisma, and amazing wealth growth rate..."
"They created new jobs, new histories, attempted unprecedented global integration, boldly looked to the future, and ushered humanity into the next century."
"After agriculture, manufacturing, service industry and information industry, in the New Year, human beings will experience five major economic waves: leisure, life sciences, giant materials, new atomic age and new space age..."
"Think about it! In two thousand years, flat management and paperless offices will come true, and the Internet will become the main medium in the 21st century. In 2002, Western Europe will merge into one country. In 2005, 20% of the Americans will buy everything online, online video will replace telephones, developed countries will enter a widespread labor shortage, and unemployment will become an unfamiliar word. In 2012, we will conquer cancer. In 2018, cells and human organs can be easily replaced. Restoration, cars run on hydrogen, and in 2019, the United States will enter a truly pluralistic society...”
Song Ya's eyes were dull and listless, "Stop reading, Sloan." He said to the hands-free landline, "It gave me a headache."
"Looks like the Washington Examiner likes you."
Sloan stopped reading the newspaper, "What? You seem to be dissatisfied with the lunch that day? Didn't Mr. Buffett disclose any information about making money?"
"I didn't feel it anyway." Song Ya said.
"Maybe the hint is in a few words." Sloan said, "He taught me a lot, related to going public."
"Ovitz always chats with me about miscellaneous things, such as Disney, Metropolitan Records, Silicon Valley Investment, and other brokerage affairs. I feel that the old man Buffett was pulled by him to fill the scene. M-FXXK They should pay for my plane Gas money back and forth, and lost wages.”
Song Ya complained: "The topic is always made trivial, rambling... I can't remember what Buffett said now. By the way, how are you going to buy Ovitz? How much do you need from me? ?”
"Maybe use the money raised from the IPO to buy? Ovitz is asking a high price now, and I think he can be properly aired." Sloan replied, "We will talk about it in April next year?"
"Okay, you decide,
I hate that guy more and more. "Song Ya said.
"Oh? What do you say?" Sloan asked.
"His investment in Silicon Valley, real estate, and farms will not see any return for a while, and the media industry has lost money. Now it seems that he is still planning to return to the brokerage industry, and he has started to play with me again. No, not only me, it seems to include Some old friends of CAA. For example, Ron Meyer, the president of Universal Pictures, others are so bragging." Song Ya replied.
"Oh? Bronfman Jr. and David Geffen at Universal will be mad. Their attitude towards Ovitz is the friendliest in Hollywood. Ron Meyer did a great job there."
Sloan suggested, "Shouldn't you take the initiative to remind Mr. Bronfman Jr. of Ovitz's tricks? After all, you have a better relationship with him, and your interests are more deeply bound."
"Um……"
Song Ya thought for a while, "Forget it, people like Ovitz speak truth and falsehood, and I don't want to be a big mouthful of informants at the slightest sign of trouble."
"Too……"
"Hey, APLUS!"
At this time, O'Grady from Northern Trust rushed in, "Look!" He put several newspapers and magazines in front of Song Ya.
"Let's talk again, Sloan." Song Ya hung up the phone, and first picked up the Wall Street Journal. On the inside page was a photo of himself and Buffett leaving after lunch. Ovitz was talking with his head down, and Mariah Carey stood at the door with Buffett on his arm.
In another newspaper, the candles on the small cake were still on, and he was puffing out his cheeks to blow, and his ex-wife pouted to Buffett's old face.
The text is basically boasting about itself, and some parts quote the newly popular "unrestricted capitalist" and the like.
Song Ya rolled her eyes and threw the newspaper back.
"What did you and the stock god talk about?" O'Grady asked.
"Again, many people are asking."
Since we met, almost everyone has been asking these days, and Song Ya has been annoyed, "Uh..." he recalled, "Disney, Netscape, Microsoft, Apple... and the Asian financial crisis... ...that's about it."
"Haha, Disney and Apple stocks are very cheap now, don't you want to buy some?" O'Grady became excited instantly.
"Netscape is still cheap."
Song Ya glanced at him, "Buffett wasn't implying anything, we just chatted casually."
"Aren't you going to invest the cash in your hand before the end of the year?" O'Grady asked, "At least Apple has potential, and the founder Jobs is back, so you can buy a little to dilute the cost of holding shares."
Selling Netscape and Netscape stocks, record settlement income, and the money recovered, and the money earned from short selling, Song Ya now has nearly 300 million dollars in cash.
"Come on."
Soon after Jobs returned, he ungratefully drove away NeXT, which bought him at a high price, and recalled him to Apple's Amelio, and then in order to win the trust of other shareholders and board members with old grudges, he would not fight for control of the company. I sold all my Apple stocks.
So a founder who didn't have a single company stock in his hand became the company's interim CEO as he wished, and the follow-up plan was coming soon. Jobs began to show his fangs to the board of directors, and tried to introduce his old friend Oracle boss Larry Larson and others. A series of people who also don't have much Apple stock in their hands have joined the board of directors to help him expand his personal power.
"Jobs is full of infighting skills. If it weren't for the 150 million life-saving money given away by Microsoft, I don't think he is much better than Amelio, and he even made Apple even worse..."
As a small shareholder who lost money, Song Ya was very dissatisfied. "He is the founder, but I doubt whether he can run a computer company well now. After all, he didn't start NeXT computer."
"Haha, your judgment is also reasonable."
O'Grady sat in front of the Bloomberg machine to operate. The Hong Kong Hang Seng Index plummeted yesterday, and the opening of the US stock market today was dragged down.
"OMG..."
Song Ya saw the Dow Jones and Nasdaq going all the way down, and her mood became even worse.
Now he is not able to save Xiangjiang... No, he can't even save himself.
This makes the hype in the financial media all the more comical.
"Hiss..." O'Grady gasped, "Fortunately, Nasdaq's Internet sector is doing okay." He comforted himself.
3DFX in the technology sector also fell endlessly, and it has fallen off the seven-digit figure that it finally stood on while speaking.
"Is this okay? Ah!" Song Ya suddenly yelled strangely, because she saw the two major indices suddenly dived into the water.
"WTF!?"
O'Grady's complexion was even worse. Most of the funds managed by Northern Trust still invested in blue-chip stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, which was even worse than 3DFX.
"ah!"
"ah!"
The K-line suddenly went down at 90 degrees, and 5% of the market value evaporated instantly, and the two big men screamed in unison.
"Ahhh...it's okay...huh!"
Song Ya finally saw that the K-line stabilized its decline, "Damn it!"
"All right?" O'Grady asked.
"Didn't it stop falling?"
"That's because it's blown..."
