Chapter 1979 Keyboard Man (Part 2)
The comments on the Internet have almost no influence on Guo Tailai himself. If you really care about those people's words, then you don't have to live a normal life. At most, the trolls just spit on the anonymous network, looking for a sense of existence, and it would be demeaning to care about them.
An earthquake occurred in Sichuan Province, but the country did not stop, and the Olympic preparations were still in full swing.
At the beginning of June, Mr. T's studio held a press conference, saying that because of the earthquake, the ignition of the core engine of the supersonic engine, which was originally scheduled to be ignited in June, was postponed to July. The reason for the delay is easy to understand. Mr. T himself went to the disaster relief site when the disaster happened, so the R&D progress was delayed.
Regarding this, no matter how critical the media and reporters were, they couldn't say a single negative word, on the contrary, they were all in awe. Mr. T went to the scene to rescue the disaster in person, and he had never heard a single word of the report before. In this kind of matter, I believe that no one dares to lie. Once it is found out that it is false, it will directly ruin its reputation.
Such a billionaire who went to the disaster relief scene in person did not forget to donate money and materials to donate the flight time of dozens of helicopters. The news helped Guo Tailai to publicize.
Some boring people immediately seemed to have grasped something big, and began to mock Mr. T in a strange way. Did he not complete the design at all, so he used such a delaying strategy to delay the time? Maybe next month there will be other reasons for the delay. By the time everyone stops paying attention to this side of the Olympics, another few months will have passed.
After all, the core engine of an aero engine is not so easy to master. The country has launched a large aircraft plan, investing hundreds of billions, but until now, the domestic large aircraft aviation development has not yet completed the design, Mr. T can be stronger than the national power by himself, with at most a hundred or ten assistants?
Guo Tailai ignored these people and immersed himself in his work. At the beginning of July, a video of the successful ignition of a core machine prototype was directly broadcast on "News Network". It can be said that the country is endorsed by Guo Tailai.
Under the strong public opinion propaganda, the trolls could only say sourly, "The success of ignition is still far from the success of R&D", vented a little bit of the emotions that could not be vented in their hearts, and then devoted themselves to spraying other people. active.
On the same day that the core machine was successfully ignited, the IMF (International Monetary Fund) reported that the global subprime mortgage loss was US$1.5 trillion. Less than a week later, the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) predicted a global subprime mortgage loss of US$550-750 billion. Maybe the statistical caliber is different, but the huge loss is the same.
Obviously, the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis is stronger than that in Guo Tailai's future dream, and it lasts longer.
In mid-July, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a $400 billion housing market assistance plan, in addition to various sporadic rescue funds of tens of billions. Countries around the world have their own huge bailout plans, with a lot of investment.
"I'm still a shareholder of Citibank and JPMorgan Chase? And Goldman Sachs?" Guo Tailai learned some news that surprised even himself when he was feeling that the big crocodiles made money that was really jaw-dropping.
"It's just a very small shareholder, and the proportion is insignificant." Lin Jiayi replied indifferently: "It's just to express the attitude of advancing and retreating with our members. In addition, I also bought some shares of Mr. Buffett's company as investment."
"Okay, you can figure it out!" Guo Tailai has already become numb to this, and Lin Jiayi has done a great job. Except for Guo Tailai's general trend and some sensitive issues, Lin Jiayi's layout analysis is the rest. It's so good, Guo Tailai is very proud of it.
On August 8, the Olympic Games officially opened in Beijing. Guo Tailai and Chu Feilin Jiayi Mi Feifei both participated in the opening ceremony, sitting in the auditorium, watching the wonderful performance of the opening ceremony, feeling extremely excited. Of course, Xiaohui is indispensable. Xiaohui also served as one of the on-site conductors at the Bird's Nest Stadium. Now looking at the completed Bird's Nest, Xiaohui is also emotional.
It is worth mentioning that MJ was added to the Olympic theme song singer. Seeing his old friend MJ's passionate singing, Guo Tailai smiled all over his face.
The client treated by Guo Tailai successfully won the championship medal in front of the people of his hometown in the Olympic Games, and everyone was excited.
The grand Beijing Olympic Games has become recognized as the best Olympic Games among all the Olympic Games. People all over the world have seen a soaring Chinese dragon and a brand-new image of China. The whole country celebrates, one world, one dream.
Less than a month after the Olympic Games closed, Lehman Brothers Bank declared bankruptcy, and then several banks and institutions around the world swarmed into it. Private equity firms such as Bain Capital LLC and Hellman & Friedman LLC tore apart Lehman Brothers in less than three weeks at a cost of several billion dollars.
Immediately after more than ten days, the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) announced the largest bank failure in US history. Washington Mutual Bank, headquartered in Washington State, was insolvent and immediately closed down. Acquire at a low price most of the business and branches of this 119-year-old bank that used to have assets of 300 billion US dollars and deposits of 188 billion US dollars.
Well, this eating is very elegant, and it looks much better than the group of hungry wolves that carve up Lehman Brothers before.
In October, the U.S. Senate voted 74 to 25 to pass the government’s new version of the $800 billion bailout plan. The total amount of the bailout plan voted by the U.S. Senate increased from the original $800 billion to $980 billion. A lot of money! Guo Tailai was drooling when he heard the numbers.
The year of 2008 passed quickly. This year, Guo Tailai did not stand out in particular. He honestly provided nursing services for VIPs. The second large lens was delivered in March, and the third lens is now being produced. The progress is expected. It was several years faster than the project team of the Large Magellan Telescope, and the project team was so happy that they couldn't find the north.
The subprime mortgage crisis has caused the assets of many rich people to shrink. In 2008, the wealth of the first place in the China Rich List was only more than 20 billion yuan. Guo Tailai's property has also "shrunk" significantly, and because of the large investment in the research and development of supersonic airliners, Guo Tailai's net worth is only 10 billion, ranking eleventh. This is also listed as a negative example of successful investment by many success professors. When it comes to failed investment, this case must be mentioned.
The time has entered 2009. In January, Nortel Networks, the largest telecom equipment manufacturer in North America, filed for bankruptcy protection. Mr. Mi excitedly ran to negotiate the acquisition of a large number of patents of Nortel Networks, which are a large number of patents in the communication field. If he can buy them, plus the existing patents of Christina, he can completely participate in the formulation of the rules.
