Chapter 2 mj

Obviously, Adrian does not intend to change his mind, although he doesn't care about the position of the richest man in the world-if he really wants to be beautiful, he will not cash out. Microsoft's 5% shares were also divided into two accounts. If you hold more than 5%, you must report to the CSRC. {Rainbow Literature Network m} WwW. NgWeNXuE. M (The fastest and most stable update, Baidu search) Although Forbes is not a killer list, it is not a good thing to be too swaggering. He was originally a well-known miracle director in Hollywood. The attention is enough. Besides, by that The net worth of more than 20 billion is enough for him to enter the top ten of the rankings. This limelight still allows the lid to come out.

But if you have a chance, why not try to make another one? In fact, Claude and the entire group have the same intentions. The more funds they can flow, the better, and their expansion is far from stopping.

It ’s not easy just to predict the date accurately. Although Claude ’s phrase “even those who are already prepared ca n’t be sure when to make the best shot” is a bit exaggerated, at least now they should already have a bottom line in their hearts, but in Before that, they must be unsure. Even Uncle Anderson can't analyze more information, and people like Buffett have hardly encountered it stock, let alone Adrian and Claude.

In fact, a few days ago, the two people who had been following the stock market started talking about this, but they never reached an agreement. It seems that there is still no progress today.

Just then, Claude again turned the LCD to Adrian: "Ed, look at this news."

Looking at it in the past, the official website of Cisco is hung on the display, with an article in the middle, bearing John Chambers's name. Although a little puzzled, Adrian took a closer look. There wasn't much written on it. It was an open letter from Chambers, which first reviewed the development of Cisco and then introduced the achievements made in the past few years. Achievements, congratulations on the company's market value of more than 500 billion, and encourage everyone to create greater glory than the old rival Microsoft.

Does this have any special significance? Adrian squinted at Claude. The guy was so proud that he had apparently reached a conclusion and was waiting to see his joke. Glancing at him, Adrian continued to figure out the open letter. What exactly did this guy see? Chambers is very confident, he didn't realize the risks, and he wants to surpass Microsoft? But what's with what they're discussing ... wait! Beyond Microsoft? !!

Adrian lifted his head sharply to face Crowder, and Claude smiled slightly.

"When Cisco's market value exceeds GM!"

"When Cisco's market value exceeds Microsoft!"

The two spoke at the same time, and Claude froze, but his eyes lit up, and he stretched out his fingers and nodded hard in the air: "You're right, Ed, it should be the time when Cisco surpasses GM!"

Since the market value of Cisco has exceeded 500 billion, it is not far behind Microsoft and GM. After they surpass Microsoft, they can wait until they exceed GM and then start. It is not much worse anyway. You know, GE has occupied the number one position in the global market capitalization for a long time. Microsoft once surpassed it in 1998, but it was soon surpassed again. Cisco wants to stabilize Microsoft and will certainly want to Beyond GM, once this is done, everyone will cheer for this and make timely and reasonable judgments about what happened.

"Your vision is always so precise, Ed." Claude immediately praised him, completely unaware that Adrian would have such a judgment because he vaguely remembered that Cisco fell into the abyss at the highest market value, although not Clear the whole process, but now that there is so much information integrated, it is not difficult to guess the possibility, Claude also understood immediately?

Of course, those who are waiting on Wall Street may not intend to let Cisco go beyond GM, but it is relatively easy to analyze it with reference. Generally, they started to secretly ship slowly before that. Then let retail investors raise the stock price, and then withdraw with the greatest efforts. As long as a few traces can be captured, Adrian and Claude can follow suit.

Forgive them, they dare not care, as mentioned earlier, the date of the futures must be very accurate, and there is an excellent example right now. The Quantum Fund predicted that the bubble might burst in early 1999, and then began shorting at that time. Naturally, it goes without saying that Soros has suffered a big loss and is now ready to retreat to the second line.

Soon, the date of calculation came. On January 31, 2000, Cisco's market value reached 520.5 billion in the public attention, surpassing GM to become the world's first, Chambers published another article on the official website to celebrate the company. Great achievements. Then, on the first morning after the weekend, billions of dollars of sell orders for leading IT stocks such as Cisco, Microsoft, Dell, etc. were thrown out at the same time, and the stock market suddenly fell!

However, the decline was not large. Wall Street market analysts claimed that this was just a correction in the stock market, so investors were worried but did not think much. But the news about the federal court ruling Microsoft's monopoly came out again, and then all kinds of negative news, the stock market fell again, and this time it was a mile away that opened the dam gate. Many people have not responded yet. The stock held in your hand has shrunk by more than half! Suddenly they also started panic selling. It took only tens of days for most of the IT stock to become waste paper.

Many suicide sacred places across the United States-the Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State Building-also welcomed new guests. Fortunately, the burst of the bubble was limited to it stocks, which was relatively mild. Even if there were few suicides, no black appeared. Friday dumplings.

As for Adrian, after the stock market began to decline, he did not take it to heart. Facts proved that he and Claude were correct, especially Cisco, Microsoft, and Dell's billion-dollar stocks were sold at the same time. After the exit, the ending is already doomed. All he has to do now is to wait for the funds to be withdrawn, and the rest is the matter of Leggett.

Ten times leveraged stock index futures plus 10 billion funds, and it is not difficult to make another 10 billion. Adrian initially wanted to use 30 times leverage, so the investment was less, even only a few billion . However, as his financial adviser, Leggett strongly opposed it. Although the capital invested was small, the risk was greater. Only 30 times of leverage would be used for small Boda. Now that the funds are sufficient, why not risk it? The investment banks and funds that fell on it were not without.

Claude, who always supported him, also expressed opposition to this, and Adrian naturally gave up this plan, anyway, it was a little longer, anyway, this funds will not be invested in the company for the time being, so as not to worry others. .

"Congratulations, Ed." In the office, Claude toasted and congratulated Adrian. The amber liquid was very dazzling.

"Congratulations to you, too, Crow. We will take our business to the next level." Adrian raised his glass and bumped into him. At this time, the first large-scale sell-off had just passed, and many were still watching.

For these people, Adrian just shrugged. Since speculation, it is necessary to be prepared at any time to lose money and control their greed, watching the stock keep rising, so he ca n’t bear to let go and always want to go higher Once you fall, and you want to go back a little, you can take a shot. Such people are not worthy of sympathy even if they are innocent retail investors, not to mention those guys who put all their wealth into it.

The most typical example is Britney's parents. The 0.01% Cisco stock that Adrian gave them is now worth 50 million. When did the two greedy guys have so much wealth? If one mind is to gain more, almost all the property is put into it.

However, on the day Cisco's market capitalization peaked, Adrian gave them a call and made Spears sell off immediately. Although he did not elaborate, just such a sentence, but Spears still had a little bit of mind, although hesitated, but immediately threw out the stock in his hand after the stock market fell.

In fact, it's too late at this time, and 50 million stocks don't seem to be big in total value, but who will take over once the bubble bursts? Even though Spears made an immediate decision, he only cashed out five or six million dollars with her wife, and the others were all dead. It really made people cry.

Adrian had planned not to say a word, watching them fall into the abyss, but think about the couple's cheeks, once they became shoesless, even if they could be dealt with in time, something could happen. Now letting them go, they have to think carefully even if they want to toss, and Adrian is even more unafraid to move.

Well, this is all the future, let's go back to now.

"Talk about your intentions, Ed." Claude said after taking a glass of whiskey.

"Now?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, I can also prepare early." Claude shrugged with a smile.

"You should have guessed it, Crow." Adrian looked at him. "In the production and distribution of movies and TVs and TV broadcasts, we don't have much room for improvement at present, so where is the next direction, as You must know, unless you fail. "

"Of course I know," Claude Haha laughed. "I'm just curious, what is your goal, although there is not much choice."

"What else can it be, Universal Records!" Adrian gave the answer.

Since neither movies, television, nor radio can be moved for the time being, it is inevitable to expand on the record. Although several major record companies will start to merge in a few years, only the first opportunity will be large enough So Adrian took aim at Universal Records.

Universal Records and Universal Pictures are not two children born to one mother, but they are not completely unrelated. Universal Records was formerly known as A Records. It was originally a concert booking company. It merged with Universal Pictures in the 1960s and then sold it to Panasonic in the 1980s. By the mid-1990s, A Records was acquired by Seagram, and Universal Pictures was also acquired by Seagram after tossing and turning the two companies together again.

Seagram also renamed a to Universal Records. Unfortunately, Universal Pictures had to sell it to the media because of funding problems. In spite of this, Seagram still did not extinguish the idea of ​​developing the media, so he subsequently acquired Polaroid and Universal Records and merged with several entertainment companies.

But they have not learned the lessons of blind expansion, and they have not been able to completely get rid of the predicament that Adrian and Claude had originally created to acquire Universal Pictures. Seagram has now shown signs of bankruptcy. Opportunity is so good, and there is a lot of money in hand, which naturally becomes the target of the media.

Although EMI is also very suitable, and bmg, Sony Records, Warner Records may not be able to start, but it is more convenient for Universal Records which has not merged with Polaroid, and despite the fact that n Records and Island Records, which should have been acquired by Polaroid, have been media After getting it, Universal Records still has a large market. If it can be won and integrated with its m, it will not be difficult to become the world's largest record company.

"Again, Universal Pictures, Universal Records, aren't they just a pair?" Adrian smiled, spread his hands, and snapped his fingers. "But before that, you have to do something first."

"What's your idea?" Crowd raised an eyebrow.

"A ... big plan," Adrian Mo said with a chin and a small smile.

In the quiet woods, the sun shines a little light through the evergreen leaves, there is no feeling of cold. Rao is so, there is still a stalk of parasol on the ground to isolate these sunlight.

"This club is very quiet. There are not so many annoying paparazzi, so once I need to relax my mind, I will come here to sit, drink some coffee, and breathe some fresh air." Standing outside the parasol watching the distant scenery Adrian said, turning around, "This world is still very beautiful and worth fighting for-what do you say?"

The middle-aged man in his forties sitting under the parasol is a little absent-minded. He has a thick curly black hair, a suit that covers the entire body, and a pair of large sunglasses. The skin is somewhat black, but He was wearing an abnormal white, but occasionally he could see the white spots under his neck when he turned his head.

"We never seem to have dealt with each other, Mr. Adrian." The other party said coldly.

"Yes, but the two popular female singers of my record company are your admirers, mj." Adrian came over with a smile and sat down at the round table.

That's right, the middle-aged man he met today with a parasol and sunglasses in the woods is the man who once ruled the 80's music scene and set off numerous storms. He was troubled by the white spot disease and child molestation cases in the 1990s. The emperor superstar Michael Jackson, who has huge music fans all over the world!

"I know, they are all good singers, but this has nothing to do with your invitation, right?" Michael said politely, seemingly wary of Adrian.

Adrian smiled disapprovingly: "We don't really intersect, but because of this, we can talk more directly and honestly."

He took a sip of coffee, then sat up straight and looked at Michael: "I want Elvis and The Beatles in your hands, as well as some of the copyrights on Sony-produced records, mj."

After a pause, he added: "$ 2.2 billion."

Michael raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then rejected Adrian's request: "Many people have asked me this question, Mr. Adrian, but my answer has never changed."

Adrian chuckled: "You are a smart man, mj. Selling Elvis and The Beatles' copyright is the most beautiful investment you make, but you are not so smart at the same time. You do n’t seem to have Understand your situation. "

"My situation?" Michael sneered. "Thanks to those shameless journalists and the media, for the sake of ratings, you can pour dirty water on someone. Justice and justice do not exist for them at all. They have to do it. This is to attract the attention of the public as much as possible! "

Speaking in one breath, he finally stopped, then stretched his neckline to calm down his excitement.

But Adrian shook his head unhurriedly: "Look, I'm right, don't you? You still don't understand. Or you understand something, but don't want to admit it."

Michael shouted, took off his sunglasses, and stared at Adrian. He seemed to want to say something, but he finally put up with it: "If all you want to say is this, Mr. Adrian, I think I can leave."

"Do you have any plans to release a new album next year?" Adrian asked suddenly, and the leisurely smile at the corner of his mouth remained the same. "Do you know what I would do if I were your boss? I think The method is to make the album full of thought bumps during the production process, and use various excuses to delay the publicity, reduce the sales volume of the album, and then let people declare through the media that you are too angry, and you can no longer produce good music, You take drugs, you plastic surgery, you fall, you have no cure. Then buy the people around you, and when you leave Dream Manor, take two children to go shopping-just stroll, do nothing, just create There are signs of children coming in-95 years later, and the hype is even more fierce, even forcing the police to search Dream Manor. No one will support you, no one will sympathize with you, and even if they do, they will not make too much noise , You will only see the mainstream society criticize you, and then you will be really decadent and silent, as long as you show your thoughts ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ will be dispelled, most And a couple of unexpected ...... "

Adrian spread his hands, although not finished, but the meaning was already obvious. Michael threw his chest together, staring at his fists tightly, and seemed to want to give him a hard shot.

"Are you threatening me?" He asked, gritting his teeth.

"No, I'm just reminding you," Adrian shrugged. "You should understand that I'm helping you, mj. The copyright of the record in your hand is only worth 2 billion at most, and my bid of 2.2 billion is already very high. Sincerely, Sony vampires want to sell 1 billion. "

He looked into his eyes: "You are very talented, mj, I admire those talented people, but you are also a black person, so when you achieve such a great achievement, and you have such a great fortune, it is bound to cause Others' puppets. You are like a child holding a large bundle of dollars and walking on a lively street. Anyone can easily take away your wealth from you. Who makes you black? Sell it to me. Same thing, I did n’t let you suffer, you also distracted others ’attention, dispelled Sony ’s idea of ​​vampires, and the extra 200 million will allow you to do more things you want to do and help more Why don't you do it? "
