Chicago 1990

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 Internet. The more people who request information, the richer, not the poorer, the information resources."

“Gates’ rule of cultural hegemony: As soon as an idea emerges in the brains of Silicon Valley’s digital geniuses, this idea is immediately transformed into real technology and spread quickly.”

"In June, Wired Magazine also used the thorny Apple on the cover to lament that Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy. In July, when Jobs ousted CEO Amelio and temporarily became Apple’s CEO, they rejoiced. Jobs, also invented a new concept: unlimited capitalists."

"They quoted the prophecies of the thinker Marshall McLuhan in the 1960s and declared that the era of unrestricted capitalism has finally arrived."

"The unrestricted capitalists who suddenly emerged in the telecommunications, genetics, nanometer, microelectronics, and cultural and sports industries are what is called: new people created by new technological forces. They have new concepts, new ideas, new ideas, and new ways of thinking. , Relying on intangible assets, securities investment, equity operation and value rediscovery, instead of exploiting others, traditional industries, inheriting family industries and getting rich quickly..."

"Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Anderson, Jim Clark, Larry Larson in the technology industry... Hollywood's Katzenberg, George Lucas, Spielberg... even basketball star Michael Jordan and singer APLUS can do it Count as one of them."

"Most of these people are cold-blooded and ruthless, believe in technology MAX doctrine, have strong strength and belief, unmatched personality charm, and amazing wealth growth..."

"They create new jobs, new history, try to carry out unprecedented global integration, bravely look to the future, and lead mankind into the next century."

"After agriculture, manufacturing, service industry and information industry, human beings will experience the five major economic waves of leisure, life sciences, giant materials, the new atom era and the new space era in the new year..."

"Think about it! In two thousand years, flat management and paperless office will come true. The Internet will become the main medium of the 21st century. In 2002, Western Europe will merge into one country. In 2005, 20% Americans will buy everything through the Internet, online video will replace the telephone, developed countries will enter a general labor shortage, unemployment will become a strange vocabulary, in 2012, we will conquer cancer, in 2018, cells and human organs can be easily Repair, cars use hydrogen to drive, in 2019, the United States will enter a truly diversified society..."

Song Ya's eyes were dull and listless, "Stop reading, Sloan." He said to the hands-free landline, "It makes me a headache."

"It looks like the Washington Observer likes you very much."

Sloan stopped reading the newspaper. "Why? You don't seem to be satisfied with the lunch that day? Didn't Mr. Buffett reveal any money-making information?"

"I didn't feel it anyway." Song Ya said.

"Maybe the hint is in a few words." Sloan said, "he taught me a lot of things, listing-related."

"Ovitz always talks about miscellaneous things, Disney, Metropolitan Records, Silicon Valley Investment and other brokerage affairs. I feel that the old Buffett was used by him to fill the scene. M-FXXK should pay me for the plane. The money for fuel going back and forth, as well as lost work expenses.

Song Ya complained: "The topic is always trivial, talking about it... I can't remember what Buffett said. By the way, how do you plan to buy Ovitz? How much money do you need from me? ?"

"Maybe use the money raised from the IPO? Ovitz is offering a high price now. I think it can be appropriate to dry him." Sloan replied, "We will talk about it in April next year?"

"Yes, you decide,

"Oh? How to say?" Sloan asked.

"His investment in Silicon Valley, real estate and farms will not see any profit for a while. The media industry has lost money again. Now it seems that he still intends to return to the brokerage industry, and he is starting to think of me again. No, not only me, but also Some old friends of CAA. For example, Ron Meyer, President of Universal Pictures, others are so boastful." Song Ya replied.

"Oh? Then Universal's Bronfman and David Geffen will be pissed off. Their attitude towards Ovitz is the friendliest in Hollywood. Ron Meyer did a great job there."

Sloan suggested, "Should you take the initiative to remind Mr. Bronfman of Ovitz's little actions? After all, you have a better relationship with him and a deeper bond of interest."

"Ok……"

Song Ya thought for a while, "Forget it, Ovitz's kind of people say true or false, and I don't want to be a big whistleblower just a little bit of trouble."

"Also..."

"Hey, APLUS!"

At this time, O'Grady of 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 picked up the Wall Street Journal. There were photos of herself and Buffett leaving after lunch on the inside page. She was about to walk into the car on crutches. Sloan and Ovitz was lowering her head to speak, and Mariah Carey stood at the door holding Buffett.

In another newspaper, the candle on the little cake was still on, and he was blowing his cheeks, and his ex-wife pouted at Buffett's old face.

The text is basically touting itself, and some parts of it quote the just-popular term "unrestricted capitalist".

Song Ya rolled his eyes and threw the newspaper back.

"What did you talk about with the stock god?" O'Grady asked.

"Here again, many people are asking."

Since meeting each other, almost everyone has been asking in the past few days that Song Ya has been annoyed, "Uh..." He recalled, "Disney, Netscape, Microsoft, Apple...and the Asian financial crisis... ...Probably that's it."

"Haha, Disney and Apple stocks are cheap now, don't you want to buy some?" O'Grady became excited instantly.

"Netscape stock is still cheap."

Song Ya glanced at him, "Buffett is not suggesting anything, we just chatted casually."

"Do you not invest the cash in your hand before the end of the year?" O'Grady asked: "At least Apple has the potential. The founder Steve Jobs is back. You can buy a little to dilute the holding cost."

Selling Netscape and Netscape stocks, record settlement income, as well as the money recovered, and the money earned by shorting, Song Ya now holds nearly 300 million dollars in cash.

"Come on."

Soon after he returned, Jobs ungratefully drove away NeXT, which bought him at a high price, and recalled him to Apple’s Amelio. Then, in order to win the trust of other shareholders and board members who had old grievances, he would not fight for control of the company. All the Apple stocks here are dumped.

So a founder who didn't have a company stock in his hand actually became the company's interim CEO as he wished, and the follow-up was soon to come. Jobs began to show his fangs to the board of directors, and tried to bring in old friends Oracle boss Larry Larson A series of people who didn't have much Apple stock in their hands joined the board to help him expand his personal power.

"The guy Jobs is full of infighting skills. If Microsoft hadn't given away 150 million life-saving money, I didn't think he was better than Amelio, and even made Apple even more smoky..."

As a minority shareholder who lost money, Song Ya was very dissatisfied. "It's true that he is the founder, but I doubt that he can run a computer company now. After all, he hasn't started NeXT Computer."

"Haha, your judgment also makes sense."

O'Grady sat in front of the Bloomberg machine to operate. The Hong Kong Hang Seng Index plummeted yesterday, and today the opening of US stocks was dragged down.

"OMG..."

Song Ya saw Dow Jones and Nasdaq all the way down, and his mood was even worse.

Now he hasn't been able to save Xiangjiang... No, he can't even save himself.

This makes the flattery of the financial media even more comical.

"Hi..." O'Grady took a deep breath. "Fortunately, the performance of the Nasdaq network sector is not bad." He comforted himself.

The 3DFX of the technology sector has also fallen continuously, and the seven-character head that has finally stood up has fallen out of words.

"That's okay? Ah!" Song Ya suddenly yelled strangely because he saw the two major indexes suddenly dived.

"WTF!?"

O'Grady's complexion is even worse. Most of the funds managed by Northern Trust are invested in blue-chip stocks of the New York Stock Exchange, which is worse than 3DFX.

"what!"

"what!"

The K-line suddenly went down 90 degrees, and 5% of the market value instantly evaporated, and the two big men screamed at the same time.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Song Ya finally saw the K-line stabilized the decline, "Damn it!"

"All right?" O'Grady asked.

"Didn't it fall again?"

"That's because it was blown..."
