new York.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, another day of trading in the North American stock market ended on time, and it was also the last trading day of the week.

When Wall Street elites were thinking about how to spend the next weekend, a sudden announcement by Westeros broke the mood that everyone had just relaxed.

Westero's announcement is not long. The intention is that for the needs of the enterprise exhibition, the company will reduce the stock of six technology companies including Apple in the near future.

After clearing Motorola's stock early last year, Westero hasn't had any major public moves this year.Moreover, the total value of the six stocks that Westeros is about to reduce this time is not too large. According to the stock price before the market closed today, even if all the stocks are cleared, the cash out size is only about 500 million US dollars, of which only Apple’s Stocks account for more than half.

However, no one will forget the investment boom in technology stocks cited by the'Westero Group', and the young man behind the Westero company who has created a series of wealth miracles in just two years.

Does the one-time reduction of six technology stocks mean that Simon Westero is not optimistic about the technology stocks?Or, there are some unknown changes within these six companies?Or is Simon Westero raising money to prepare for other things?

With a series of questions, many investment banks and securities companies have held temporary emergency meetings to discuss the impact of Westeros' announcement on the stock market next week.The telephone in the office of Westlake’s president James Rebold was also blasted as soon as possible.

Six companies such as Apple have become the objects of close attention for many people in the following days.

Westeros chose to announce the reduction after the market close on Friday, in fact, it is to reserve time for everyone to avoid the panic selling of the technology stocks.

After the news was announced, Apple, the core company that reduced the shares, held a high-level meeting overnight.

In recent years, Apple’s market share, revenue scale and profits have continued to climb, and company CEO John Scali is not too worried about Westero’s sudden reduction in holdings.

After discussion at the emergency meeting, Apple released its 1988 annual financial report in advance on Saturday afternoon.

As of December 31, 1988, Apple’s total revenue for the year was $2.661 billion, an increase of 39.9% compared to $1.91 billion in 1987.The annual net profit was 218 million US dollars, an increase of 41.5% compared with 154 million US dollars in 1987.

At the same time, Apple's market share also increased from 9.3% in 1987 to 12.1%.

Apple's dazzling annual financial data has given many investors a peace of mind, and the other five companies have also taken corresponding measures under the influence of Apple.

In an interview on Saturday that day, James Rebold also publicly expressed his support, stating that Westeros is still optimistic about the prospects of these technology companies, and it is only because of the need for company exhibitions that it has to take measures to reduce holdings.

However, when asked by reporters where Westero's cash will be invested, James Rebold did not give a clear answer.

This flash of words caused a lot of media speculation and began to chase the insider further.

New Monday.

In the discussion of many media around the Westeros reduction announcement, an article on the front page immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"At this year's joke-like Golden Globe Awards, Daenerys Entertainment last year won only two awards for Best Director and Best Supporting Actress in a series of excellent films produced last year."

"I have no intention to discuss the strong controversy cited at the 46th Golden Globe Awards. I am even more curious about how much money Daenerys made last year?"

"As an unlisted company, Daenerys Entertainment has no obligation to publish financial reports. However, we can make a rough estimate based on public data."

"According to industry sources,

"The rumor is just the scale of pre-tax profits in the first quarter, and it will reach an astonishing $250 million!"

“In addition, Daenerys Entertainment’s TV department launched last year, and other reality shows, also brought huge profits to this company. ,, and waiting for a large number of blockbuster movies to make Daenerys Entertainment earn a pot It's full."

"The local and overseas box office of the film and the surrounding lines such as video tapes will not be able to contribute profits to Daenerys Entertainment until this year and next."

"However, even if it is just to calculate the income earned by Daenerys from the business fields of film and television in 1988, minus the company's various expenses, debts due and taxes payable, the final net profit scale, It will still not be less than US$200 million."

"Many people may have started to wonder, why should I talk about this?"

"Because this is the most critical basis for the conclusion of this article."

"It's just that Daenerys Entertainment earned $200 million for Simon Westero last year, and the series of technology stocks invested by Westeros also received a considerable dividend throughout the year. In this way, Simon ·Westero is clearly not short of funds."

"However, Simon Westero's recent series of large-scale investments still choose to use bank loans for financing."

"According to the survey, in recent months, Simon Westeros first obtained a loan of US$200 million from Credit Lyon, France, which is rumored to be used for real estate investment in Europe. Subsequently, Daenerys Entertainment invested in BesTV, Melissa Zhuo acquired Gucci, and Simon Westero once again raised US$250 million from Citibank."

"Two new debts, with the exception of a small amount of repayment instalments, Simon Westero's personal liabilities are still close to 900 million US dollars."

"Such a huge debt scale obviously means huge interest expenses. Even if Simon Westero has enough strength to repay, it is obviously not a wise move to rashly increase personal liabilities when he has sufficient funds."

"Is Simon Westero an unwise person?"

"The answer is obvious."

"So, here comes the problem."

"Daenerys Entertainment has hoarded a lot of cash, and Westeros has started to cash out technology stocks held by Westeros, and even sells stocks with great growth potential, such as Apple. But in the company In foreign investment activities, loans are still selected continuously."

"So, Simon Westero continues to accumulate cash, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I can't help thinking that Simon Westeros, who held all the copyrights except the rights of the film's North American home theater in 1987, continued to be popular at the box office. Instead of seriously managing the film, he hurriedly sold all at a low price."

"It is said that the follow-up copyrights only brought $80 million to Simon Westeros. Warner Bros. received $350 million to exercise various overseas channels, including only $200 million at the overseas box office, which doubled the income of Warner. , Simon Westero’s sell-out is foolish."

"however."

"Everybody knows what happened next."

"Now, what Simon Westero does is similar to what he did two years ago."

"At the same time, Japan on the other side of the ocean, the Nikkei 225 index has exceeded the 31ooo point mark, and in just three years, the increase has reached 138%. The performance of the Japanese stock market at this time is exactly the same as the madness of the North American stock market in 1987."

"The author boldly speculates that Simon Westero's next goal is Japan."

"Even, when this article was published, Simon Westero may have already begun his own layout of the Japanese stock market."

"Finally, let us wait and see."

The most direct consequence after the front page article list was that it successfully diverted most people's attention to Westeros's reduction in technology stocks.At the opening of the day, the technology stocks sector in the North American stock market did not show a sharp decline that many investors worried about.

Supported by the excellent financial report released last Saturday, Apple's stock price not only did not fall within this Monday's trading day, but rose by 1.7%.

On the other hand, the opinion expressed in the article is clearly that Simon Westero is shorting the Japanese stock market, and most people obviously hold this view.However, Simon is actually doing more.

Because of the time difference, the article shows that Tokyo time is already Monday night, and it has temporarily escaped.

However, if this view is allowed to spread, it is not difficult to imagine that Simon’s already established long position in Nikkei 225 index futures will usher in a huge loss tomorrow.

Simon even feels that this article is probably the secret promotion of hedge funds that shorted the Japanese stock market.

After a brief fall in 1987, it continued to skyrocket for more than a year. The bubble component of the Japanese stock market has been far from the original North America, and a large number of short-selling forces have already entered the market.

Although he has no good feelings for Japan in his bones, for his own interests, Simon cannot follow the trend of being the straw that crushes camels.

Short-selling makes money without giving yourself benefits.

Therefore, after urgently discussing with James Rebold on the phone, in the afternoon, several mainstream evening newspapers in North America published some insider information: Simon Westero has indeed entered the Japanese stock market, but not short, but do many.

What surprised Simon was that in addition to his arrangement with Ray Boulder, a famous financial analyst of Lehman Brothers also said in an interview that afternoon, according to reliable sources, Westeros It is indeed long.

Obviously, Simon's news of this move has long been leaked.

Everyone just quietly followed Simon'into the village' before, and even took the initiative to limit the spread of the news.Without this unprepared article, some people will only follow Simon dumbfounded.

However, the plan will never catch up with the changes.

At this critical moment, those who also bet on the bulls may be worried that Simon is too slow to react and can only jump out and help him clarify.

Lehman.

Simon could only smile bitterly when he heard the news.

After those things, Simon had no contact with Lehman Brothers, but witnessed the operation of Simon’s miracle stock index futures in 1987. Lehman Brothers apparently never gave up and recovered from him. Some opportunities to work hard.

To this extent, there is no need to hide things.

James Rebold simply contacted the nbc finance channel, and in an interview that evening, publicly stated that'Westero is still very optimistic about the growth potential of the Japanese stock market', which is equivalent to officially admitting the fact that Westero is doing more. .

On the Japanese side, after the article table, Japanese political and business circles were affected.

The remarks on the decline of the Japanese stock market have never stopped. The Japanese government is also aware of the serious bubble component in its own stock market. Various policies have been introduced to restrict the blind growth of the stock market for more than a year after the 87-share disaster.

If other media and individuals are declining, the Japanese government will only decide whether to ignore or routinely refute a few words based on the influence of the other party.

however.

Simon Westero.

Although the article predicts that Simon Westero can use only hundreds of millions of dollars, it is completely worthless in the face of the huge size of the Japanese stock market.However, whether it is the entertainment industry or the financial industry, Simon Westero's actions in recent years can only be described as'miracles'.

This strange monster star that suddenly rose is really dare not care.

At the emergency meeting of the Japanese authorities, some officials even started to ask major consortia to prepare funds for bailout measures.

So, after a few hours, the situation suddenly reversed.

Simon Westero did not short the Japanese stock market, but was long.

Overjoyed.

After suffering through the night, a group of Japanese political and business leaders with dark circles saw the interview report of Westlake President James Rebold on the TV broadcast, and they were finally relieved.

However, it seems that there is something more that can be done.

Since Simon Westero is optimistic about the Japanese stock market, this time to draw a bit, there must be many benefits.

Tokyo time is only one hour earlier than Melbourne.

It was still an eight-hour night shot on Monday night. Simon just got up in the morning, and Jennifer told him that the Japanese ambassador to Melbourne arrived at the Kendal Hotel less than eight o'clock and was waiting in the restaurant. I hope to talk to him. talk.

Simon understands that the Japanese just want him to make a public statement in person. This is no problem. Anyway, when the bulls turn to short, they still have to turn.

Going downstairs to the restaurant, in addition to introducing myself to the Japanese ambassador named Takagi Mian in Melbourne, there are two other people, a man and a woman. The middle-aged man is a Japanese reporter. The girl looks beautiful and her teeth are unexpectedly very neat. Translation, named Yoko Kosugi.

Simon actually knows some Japanese that can satisfy daily conversations, but Gao Mumian and the reporter whose surname is a little strange are very fluent in English, and Simon directly communicates with them in English.

As a result, the translator named Yoko Kosugi seemed superfluous. The girl took the initiative to sit next to Simon while everyone was having breakfast together.

During the meal, I briefly answered a few questions from the reporter, and finally took a photo with Takagi Mian, which was obviously used as a picture for the interview article, which is probably the most important.

Then, when Takagi left, she naturally proposed that Miss Kosugi could stay and help Simon take care of the daily trivial things.It is also said that the girl is actually a Japanese student at the University of Melbourne. If Simon is willing, it can be used as an opportunity for the girl to work and study hard.

Simon had some doubts before. The Japanese have always paid a lot of courtesy, and this time obviously they are seeking themselves. It is too abnormal to come empty-handed.

It turned out to be a'gift'.

It's just that, despite Jennifer's casual appearance, this'gift' is obviously unacceptable.

Rejecting the Japanese's kindness, just after sending away the other party, Janet's eldest brother Anthony Johnston called and invited Simon to lunch at Johnston's house at noon. Simon directly agreed.

Now that the news has been released, these things must not be avoided.
