Chapter 929 Morgan's General Electric Company (2 Chapters in 15,000 Words)

"Jonathan, have the reserves been calculated?"

A group of people surrounded Jonathan, and when he saw the pen that he stopped calculating, Bush Jr. asked quickly.

Jonathan said excitedly: "Chairman, after a rough calculation, 95% of the oil reserves in this oil field may exceed 9 million barrels, and there is a high probability that it will reach 10 million barrels!"

"And also has more than 50 million cubic meters of natural gas reserves!"

"Wow!"

"Finally, the oil is out, and it has finally succeeded after two years!"

Old Jack and the other workers suddenly cheered, and Bush Jr. laughed even more excitedly.

After all, he has only graduated for three years. Except for the first year when the Bush Energy Company was idle, he worked for two years without any results. How could he not bear great pressure.

Now that he has achieved a sudden success, he was completely released at this moment after two years of repression. He couldn't help laughing and cheering with the employees.

While excited, he recalled in his mind Xia Yu's estimate of this oil field in the afternoon, and it was exactly the same as the result calculated by Jonathan, which was nothing short of a miracle!

Subconsciously glanced at Xia Yu with an indifferent smile, Bush Jr. once again firmed up the idea of ​​cooperating with Xia Yu firmly.

It was already so late, of course so many people couldn't spend the night in the wild, so the group immediately set off to return.

Anyway, the land has been rented, and no one can take away the oil field. Come back tomorrow to continue the exploration.

Early the next morning, after eating breakfast, Bush Jr. repeatedly invited Xia Yu to stay, but Xia Yu flatly refused, saying that the Spring Festival of the Chinese lunar calendar was coming, and he had to finish things as soon as possible and go home.

In desperation, Bush Jr. could only reluctantly put Xia Yu on the plane, and repeatedly asked Xia Yu to contact him when he came to the United States, and keep in touch.

Xia Yu knew that Bush had tasted the sweetness and wanted to drag him to continue looking for oil.

But Xia Yu won't let Bush Jr.

Xia Yu remembered that the Bush family's oil company still found a lot of oil fields in Texas in the future, but he didn't plan to give half of the white share to Bush Jr., he had to hang it slowly to maximize the benefits. change.

"The more difficult it is to get the Tao, the more you know how to cherish it!"

Anyway, it's all about flicking, it's all about his mouth, it's nothing more than finding a suitable reason to shirk.

Moreover, he can also buy an oil company when the oil industry is in a downturn, and go to mine by himself, with all the benefits in his pocket.

After watching Xia Yu enter the boarding passage after being checked, Bush Jr. sighed in disappointment.

"The feng shui master also has a compass... I have to find a way to find it. Didn't he say there are hundreds of them in the east..."

A future American president who was superstitious about Huaxia Fengshui was born.

...

This time Xia Yu took the plane to Houston, and in Houston, he changed to a plane to Washington State.

Before he left the United States, he was going to Seattle to see how his Seattle Computer Products Company was doing.

Xia Yu has been informed that IBM will hold a product launch conference on February 1 to release IBM's first microcomputer.

As soon as the news came out, Apple's stock price fell.

It shows the concern of capital.

According to the original historical trajectory, IBM was able to release the finished product in April, but Xia Yu intervened in this life. IBM solved the problem of the computer system several months in advance, so IBM was able to hold the conference more than two months in advance. New product launch.

Xia Yu didn't plan to join in the fun at IBM's new product launch.

But he knew that with IBM's microcomputers selling well, Seattle Computer Products' SCP-DOS operating system would also be on the market, and he needed to mention Buck Daniel again.

Not only that, in addition to the SCP-DOS system and its future versions, Seattle Computer Products also has to develop other products to improve the company's comprehensive strength and anti-risk capabilities.

A forward-looking vision cannot make good use of the development strategy of the company, unless he is out of his mind!

At about 3:00 pm on January 29, Xia Yu finally came to Seattle Computer Products Company.

As soon as he came in, Xia Yu found that the Seattle Computer Products Company had changed a lot. The most obvious thing was that the company had many unfamiliar employees, and it was obvious that the company had expanded its recruitment in recent months.

Fortunately, there are still many old employees. After saying hello to Xia Yu, he told Xia Yu that President Buck Daniel was in the office of the programming department.

"Boss, welcome to the company!"

"Buck, long time no see."

...

After a few simple greetings, Xia Yu asked about the SCP-DOS system.

"Buck, IBM is about to release a microcomputer. Are our systems continuing to develop and what level of technical reserves are there?"

Buck Daniel led Xia Yu to a big white computer and said to Xia Yu: "Boss, this is the new product IBM will release soon, our company is their first customer, you can take a look , The system of this computer was actually determined on December 2 last year, and after nearly two months of research, we have optimized the original system to a certain extent."

"The one next to it is another computer where we have installed the latest system."

"At present, the company has applied for a total of 97 patents, including 29 core patents, and 36 patents have been approved..."

Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and commented: "Well done, as long as a technology is developed, we will apply for a patent. Our system needs enough technical patent barriers to maintain an advantage."

After he finished speaking, he sat in front of the first computer, and after a brief groping for a while, he started to operate it, experimented with the functions of IBM's first-generation microcomputer, and then experienced the performance of the SCP-DOS system.

As for the second computer with the latest system installed, Xia Yu didn't touch it.

Buck Daniel stood beside Xia Yu, quietly watching Xia Yu's operation, also observing the performance of the system.

After a long time, Xia Yu stopped, turned around and said to Buck Daniel: "Yes, our operating system is more stable and smoother than Apple's computer system, and it has more complete functions. A mature operating system."

"However, our system is an open platform. With the continuous development of technology, there will definitely be various undiscovered problems. You have to arrange for people to collect feedback in a timely manner, and do a good job with IBM, and patch them in time. "

"Boss, I have already made arrangements for this," Buck Daniel said.

Xia Yu nodded slightly, thought about it, and then said: "One more thing, after IBM's microcomputer is released, other computer companies such as Texas Instruments will definitely follow up to develop microcomputers, you must reach a cooperation with them as soon as possible, let us The system became the mainstream of the market for the first time.”

"OK!"

...

Just when Xia Yu was about to ask Buck Daniel to introduce him to the company's other projects, someone suddenly walked in, it was Michael Bloomberg.

Seeing Xia Yu here, Michael Bloomberg was obviously taken aback, and then quickly said hello to Xia Yu: "Boss, I didn't expect you to be here too, good afternoon!"

"Michael, good afternoon."

Xia Yu responded with a smile, and then asked, "Are you here for the financial information service terminal?"

Other than this, Xia Yu couldn't think of what Michael Bloomberg would do here.

Michael Bloomberg nodded immediately and said, "Yes."

"What stage of development is it at now?"

"The complete financial information service terminal has been designed, but the system is not perfect, and some bugs need to be solved and further optimized."

"When is it expected to be available to market?"

When he heard Xia Yu's question, Michael Bloomberg was speechless and looked at Buck Daniel subconsciously.

After all, the surging news agency he runs has just been established. How can the technical strength be comparable to that of an old software company like Seattle Computer Products?

After he got Xia Yu's permission, he recruited computer talents on the one hand, and signed an agreement with Seattle Computer Products Company on the other hand, entrusting the other party to customize a special service system for their surging news agency. Buck Daniel knows more about the progress.

Seeing the boss Xia Yu looking at him, Buck Daniel immediately said: "Boss, the financial information service terminal is in another office and is in charge of a special team. There are indeed some bugs, because this is a complete system and it is difficult to develop. It is relatively large, and it is still being resolved.”

After finishing speaking, Buck Daniel took Xia Yu and others to another office, and let people demonstrate the product to Xia Yu, and at the same time clarified the difficulties.

In fact, the core of the current Surging Terminal is the computer system of "The Paper Professional Services". According to the functional design, users can view and analyze real-time financial market data and conduct financial transactions through "The Paper Professional Services".

Not only that, the Pangpai terminal also has a dedicated news push service, which pushes the latest news and real-time quotes from exchanges in real time.

It can be said that the surging terminal combines the operation and transaction aspects most needed by financial market practitioners with the information aspect, which can greatly improve the work efficiency of the financial market.

It's just that this supposedly perfect tool is not perfect because the "Surge Professional Services" computer system is not stable enough.

"I know where the problem is. You have a problem with your thinking and you don't know enough about the financial market."

Having said that, Xia Yu directly asked the staff to move out of the way, then opened the programming interface and quickly modified it.

Seeing Xia Yu's fast touch typing, afterimages appeared on his fingers, and lines of code on the computer desktop jumped, Michael Bloomberg's eyes widened, and he looked at Buck Daniel subconsciously.

It seems that the boss Xia Yu seems to be very proficient in computers, he didn't know about it before.

Seeing Michael Bloomberg's surprise, Buck Daniel smiled instead. His reaction at that time was no less than Michael Bloomberg's, but after seeing Xia Yu's strength, he was already numb and convinced his boss.

He leaned into Michael Bloomberg's ear and whispered, "Michael, the truth is as you can see, the boss is very computer savvy, he's much better than me."

"I didn't expect the boss to rely on the company today. He hasn't come for a few months."

"You are lucky. Now that the boss has done it, these bugs that have been bothering you for a long time can be solved."

Michael Bloomberg nodded subconsciously, feeling very uncomfortable.

He was proud that he was both proficient in finance and computer, but he didn't expect his boss to clean up his old club in the financial market, and now he has shown powerful technology in the computer field.

Both sides were crushed by the boss Xia Yu, heartbroken!

At this moment, Michael Bloomberg put away the last bit of arrogance, convinced his boss, and only had one thought in his heart, run the surging news agency well, and don't let the boss down.

Time goes by slowly...

"All right!"

As Xia Yu pressed the run button, then the surging service terminal system started trial operation. An interface popped up on the computer desktop, and there was a K-line chart on it. It jumped every fixed time, and a gradually complete K-line chart was drawn smoothly. came out.

Not only that, but at the top of the interface, there are red letters broadcasting news.

Of course, the data of the news and the candlestick chart are all set by Xia Yu before, after all, there is no data connected with the exchange now.

"Clap clap clap..."

Seeing this result, Michael Bloomberg and others can only express their inner feelings with warm applause.

Xia Yu looked indifferent and said to Michael Bloomberg: "Michael, the key issues have been resolved, and the remaining minor flaws will continue to be optimized, but they can be resolved in a short time."

"You have to do a good job of production and promotion."

"After the finished product is made, I will let six or seven companies purchase directly to solve the initial promotion problem. It is estimated that 100 units will be needed."

Of course, Xia Yu must use this kind of good things first. Polaris Capital, Jiuding Securities New York Branch, Philip Solomon, etc. all need it, as well as the British Bright Fund, Heung Kong's Jiuding Securities, Jiuding Bank, and Jiuding in the island country. Securities companies, etc., also need it.

As long as these own companies are installed and their effects spread, it is believed that the surging terminal will soon be able to open up the markets of the United Kingdom, island countries, Hong Kong and the United States.

"Good boss, I will make adequate preparations in advance!"

Michael Bloomberg said excitedly.

"It's almost six o'clock. Let's go have a meal together. I have to leave the United States after this time. I don't know how long it will take to come here."

Looking at his watch, it was already 5:52 in the afternoon, Xia Yu said to the two with a smile.

The boss invites you to dinner, which is naturally appreciated, and the two immediately agreed.

Let Buck Daniel recommend a luxurious restaurant, and everyone had a delicious meal. Before leaving, Xia Yu warned them again.

Early the next morning, Xia Yu flew to New York and secretly met Julian Robertson of Tiger Fund and Ray Dalio of Bridgewater Fund.

After that, he came to the New York branch of Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd.

He just remembered something that needed to be arranged for Toby Moulton before he left.

The first was investing in General Electric stock.

General Electric Company is the core enterprise of the Morgan consortium. This company was merged by Edison's Edison Electric Company Thomson-Houston Electric Company in 1892. It is a manufacturing giant, not only producing consumer appliances and industrial electrical equipment, but also a company. Huge arms contractors, producing everything from aviation instruments to radars and more.

It's just that old companies have a strong bureaucratic atmosphere, so GE has fallen into a bottleneck, and its market value is not high, only 13 billion US dollars.

But Xia Yu is very clear that just this year, in a few months, Jack Welch, who will be called "the world's first CEO" in later generations, will jump from the vice chairman of General Electric to the CEO and chairman of the board. With GE embarking on the road of reform and strengthening, in 20 years, it has brought GE from 13 billion US dollars to 480 billion US dollars, creating a miracle that the world pays attention to.

Although General Electric is the core company of the Morgan consortium, he cannot take it away, but it is still very good to buy some stocks and other appreciation.

For the New York branch of Jiuding Securities to gain a firm foothold on Wall Street, it really needs to invest in a few super-large companies, and to use the platforms of those super-large companies to expand its popularity and influence, General Electric is just right.

In addition to General Electric, Xia Yu also instructed Toby Moulton to find ways to buy shares in Coca-Cola, and it would be better if he could take the stakes held by the Morgan consortium and the Chicago consortium.

After the New York Chemical Bank of the Rockefeller Consortium transferred its equity, the atmosphere of fighting over the Coca-Cola Company has dissipated a lot. As long as Toby Moulton is willing to grind it, it will be fruitful over time.

In order to facilitate Toby Moulton's actions, Xia Yu also injected a billion dollars into the company's account in Wells Fargo.

After finishing his work in New York, Xia Yu flew to San Francisco, where he was going to fly back to Hong Kong.

Before leaving, he also made a special trip to Polaris Capital, and learned about the progress of the North American theater acquisition from Peter Lynch.

Polaris Capital acquired a medium-sized theater chain from the western, southern, northern and eastern parts of the United States, respectively. After the integration, it acquired 11 small theater chains and some independent theaters, and integrated it into a large-scale theater that barely covers major cities in the United States. The theater chain has 215 theaters and 257 screens, accounting for 1.87% of the total number of theaters in the United States, ranking tenth in the U.S. theater chain market.

However, these theaters are all urban theaters, and their revenue capacity is much stronger than that of rural theaters.

The only fly in the ointment is that these theaters do not have enough multi-room renovations. Generally, one theater has one big screen, which is too wasteful of resources. Xia Yu immediately asked Peter Lynch to arrange for the theater renovation after he left.

It is worth mentioning that this cinema chain is also called the Universal Cinema, because in terms of equity, it is affiliated to the Hong Kong Universal Cinema Company, so it is also the US branch of the Universal Cinema, but Jiang Zhiqiang does not know it yet. .

Polaris Capital owns MGM Pictures, and if it owns a theater chain, it will face sanctions under U.S. law.

Last but not least, Xia Yu asked Peter Lynch to continue to assist the expansion of the Universal Cinema chain, with the goal of becoming the top three cinema chains in the United States, and looking forward to the first place in the U.S. cinema chain market!

On the afternoon of January 31, Xia Yu boarded a plane to Xiangjiang.
