Hollywood Hunter

In the evening, at the invitation of Larry Ellison, he attended a gathering in a Silicon Valley business circle. Simon returned to Woodside's mountain mansion at more than ten o'clock in the evening.

Entering the living room of the villa, I heard the moving AC and the two girls greeted them together.

Simon was not surprised that Girl C appeared here, he greeted with a smile, handed her coat to Girl A, and asked Claire, "How is the new generation of iCam prepared?"

Claire followed Simon slightly intimately and said, "It has already been trial-produced. It will start to be stocked next month. Do you want to visit me tomorrow?"

Simon sat down on the living room sofa and said, "Next time, I will leave for New York at noon tomorrow."

Claire nodded and sat down next to Simon without a trace, saying: "Boss, several Wall Street investment banks have been in touch with me about Tinkerbair's listing during this time. When do you think we should start IPO?"

Girl A poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Simon. When she retreated, she couldn't help but looked at the girl C who leaned slightly beside her boss. Simon was sitting in the middle of the couch with a seat on the other side, Alison After a little hesitation, he did not sit down on the other side of Simon according to the strategy negotiated in advance in private. Instead, he chose a single sofa next to him and took a cover up to open the file on the coffee table, and occasionally looked up. Eyes echoed the two people who were chatting.

Simon did not notice these small details, Wen Yan smiled and said: "If you are in a hurry to let others know that you are now a rich lady, of course, you can start the IPO as soon as possible."

The iCam series is selling very hot. Although Tincobell has started several R&D projects at the same time, there is no shortage of funds.

On the other hand, Tincobair also has no venture capital to eagerly want to carry out an IPO cash. Westeros, the 70% largest shareholder, not only has no cash demand, but also can continue to provide funds for this company, so it is fundamental There is no need for an IPO.

If it is not an economic consideration, Simon even hopes that all companies in the Westeros system will remain privatized.

Cisco, Nokia, AOL, and Daenerys Entertainment, which will be listed in the middle of the year, are helpless. As the most important layout of the Westeros system in the field of consumer electronics, Tincobal is also involved in the product field. Not sensitive, this company is very hopeful that it can remain permanently privatized.

Claire hated Alison’s temporary retreat, and she quietly moved closer to her boss. In fact, she didn’t think of an IPO of Tinco Baier, but just found a topic at random: "But Cisco and The recent share prices of both AOL companies have been close to US$50 billion. I have seen a lot of analysis that the technology sector has reached its peak. Now is the best time for an IPO."

Simon took a sip of coffee and felt the fragrance of the woman next to him. He glanced at the girl next to him and found that although Claire was wearing a blouse and black trousers that she was familiar with on weekdays, the neckline was open this time. The faint pink lace edge can be seen faintly.

Without concealing his eyes, Simon glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Wouldn't you have quietly invested in technology stocks, come here today and set my words?"

Claire immediately admitted: "I invested 5 million US dollars, all loans, if you lose, you can only ask the boss for help."

"When did you buy it?"

"last year."

"Willn't you add leverage?"

"Only doubled."

"Ok."

Claire nodded when he saw Simon, holding the man's arm carefully and shaking: "Boss, should I sell now?"

"It doesn't matter if you hold it for another year."

"A year later?"

Simon glanced at the C girl who had embraced her arm and smiled, "I don't know."

Claire saw that her boss did not object to his intimacy, and her body was rubbing lightly on the man, and a small white hand dared down.

The girl A, who sat quietly and looked at all this, unconsciously felt a little warm all over her body. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, she finally couldn't help but got up and said, "Boss, I'm going to rest first."

"Not allowed to go."

It was girl C who opened her mouth, and leaned into the man's ear to whisper something.

In the quiet living room late at night, the sound is actually very clear. I heard that girl C unveiled some of her most intimate things. Girl A was like a deer who was trapped in a trap and her face was flushed, and she was at a loss for a while. .

After Simon Claire finished speaking, Simon looked at the girl A who was standing behind her and patted on the side, saying, "Come here."

Having heard a similar tone from a man, Alison didn't want to be like those women, but found that his body didn't listen.

Seems to have a certain spell called Obedience.

Came to Simon and sat down. He took the coffee cup handed over by the man and placed it on the coffee table. He glanced at Claire on the other side, and his breathing became more rapid.

After the coffee cup in Simon's hand was picked up by the girl A, she grabbed Alison's chin and brought it over. She was about to kiss and suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about Alice?"

Both girls are stagnant.

Simon only looked at the expression of girl A and understood it in an instant, but only smiled, and did not stop the movement in his hand.

Came to the villa of Woodside Simon with the two AC girls. The housekeeper did not get along with the two girls. She went directly upstairs to the master bedroom and waited for Simon to return.

The tiredness accumulated from the high-intensity work in the past few days has not been completely relieved by the maintenance break in the afternoon. I took a bath again. I lay alone on the man's bed and read the magazine. I fell asleep unconsciously.

A very deep sleep.

Waking up again, last night's magazine was still on hand, but there was no trace of a man on the big bed.

The curtains were not closed last night, the bright sunlight was slanting into the bedroom, the windows were still opened, and the fresh air in the mountains was refreshing.

The mood is inexplicably unpleasant.

Especially after going downstairs, I saw a guy who was eating breakfast and reading the newspaper in the restaurant. The AC girls had nice matching scarves between their necks.

Hearing the man saying good morning did not respond.

Sitting down at the dining table with a cool face, feeling that he would make him more proud, he quickly ate breakfast casually, chatted with him about the company's affairs casually, and hurried to the company with him casually.

There is not much preparation in advance, and the morning meeting on the priority of Igrith's products is more inclined to the nature of free discussion.

Everyone was busy. The meeting lasted only half an hour. Simon’s final request was that Bezos, Butts, Li, and the female housekeeper who was brought into the conference room by Simon each must submit a full copy to him every month. A handwritten priority report detailing each month’s decisions regarding product priorities related to Igreat’s businesses.

At the end of the meeting, Simon rushed to San Jose Cisco headquarters to discuss some things with John Chambers, and boarded the plane to New York at noon.

After completely taking over the USA TV network, the TV business of Daenerys Entertainment also needs to make corresponding adjustments.

The headquarters of the television department has always been located in New York.

On Wednesday, January 19th, before the annual financial report that the outside world paid more attention to, the company issued a "1993 World Wide Web User Report" in advance.

According to the report, as of December 31, 1993, the number of users accessing the World Wide Web had reached 73 million, and the number of netizens covered reached 116 million.

Among them, the number of web users in the United States alone reached 46 million, and the number of Internet users covered was 75 million.

Japan’s World Wide Web users are 5.3 million after the United States

The third is Germany, 3.8 million.

The UK ranks fourth with 2.9 million users.

The number of Canadian users in the immediate vicinity of the United States ranked fifth, at 2.6 million.

Australia, which focuses on the Westeros system, also has 1.5 million Web users, lagging behind France, Italy, and Spain, ranking ninth.In terms of Australia’s total population of only 17 million, the popularity of the World Wide Web in this country has reached 14%, second only to Canada’s 15% and the United States’ 28%.

Compared with 1992, the number of web users in the United States increased by 64% in 1993, and the government of the number of web users in most major overseas countries generally exceeded 100%.

The report also predicts that in 1994, the increase in the number of U.S. domestic web users will still reach more than 50%. In Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and other overseas countries, because of the relatively lag in the popularity of the World Wide Web, the growth rate in 1994 will be higher. It is expected to remain at 100 Annual growth rate of more than %.

Therefore, the number of users of the World Wide Web is expected to reach 120 million by the end of 1994, covering more than 200 million netizens.

Once this report, which only tends to count the number of users of the World Wide Web, is released, the most immediate consequence is to trigger another collective surge in Nasdaq technology stocks.

On the day of January 19, Cisco's stock price rose 3.9%, officially breaking through the $50 billion mark, becoming the first Internet company to break through the $50 billion market value of many emerging technology stock companies.

Immediately afterwards, on January 21, after three consecutive days of share price climb, AOL's stock price also successfully broke through the $50 billion mark.

As of the close on January 21st, Cisco's total market value reached 53.6 billion US dollars, and the market value of AOL was also fixed at a high of 51.5 billion US dollars.Share prices of other companies such as Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, etc. have reached new highs, and even IBM, which has been bogged down in recent years, after the new CEO Guo Shina, who took office last year, continued to reform for more than half a year, the market value of the company has also rebounded while taking advantage of this good profit. To a high of 40 billion US dollars.

The madness of technology stocks has triggered more investors to enter the Nasdaq. At the same time, there are many sober investors who believe that the technology stock market has been overheated, and the stock prices of companies such as Cisco and AOL have a serious bubble component.

The annual or quarterly financial reports of various companies will only be released in the next two months, and the capital market can basically calculate a rough estimate based on the financial data of the company in the previous quarter.The high growth rate of new technology companies such as Cisco and AOL is undoubted, but the market value of Cisco and AOL of more than $50 billion is too much exaggerated in the eyes of many people.

As of the close of January 21, only four companies in the U.S. corporate market capitalization list have exceeded $50 billion in market value. Cisco and AOL are second only to General Electric, which ranks first, and American energy giant, Philip Morris, which ranks second. The market value of the two companies was 76.2 billion US dollars and 55.3 billion US dollars, respectively.

In comparison, whether it is General Electric or Philip Morris, the volume of revenue is ten times that of Cisco and AOL. Even the two companies’ net profit in the previous fiscal year was 4.6 billion and 5.9 billion US dollars, respectively. Cisco's revenue in 1993 was comparable.

The veteran heavy industry giants, such as General Motors and Ford, which have annual revenues of more than 100 billion US dollars, had a market value of only 37.1 billion US dollars and 29.5 billion US dollars at the close of trading on January 21.The other two energy giants, Exxon and Mobil, which have been eyeing for a long time, had market capitalizations of only $43.6 billion and $35.3 billion, respectively, on January 21.

Many other veteran companies that have inherited tens of centuries are big, and their market value and volume cannot be compared with Cisco and AOL.

At the beginning of 1994, there were still no companies with a market value of 100 billion US dollars in the United States. 50 billion US dollars is a threshold for major giants.It took another company a century to break through the threshold. At this time, it was easily crossed by two emerging high-tech companies that had been established for only about 10 years. How could one not question the foam component in it.

Therefore, many hedge funds on Wall Street started to establish short positions after the two companies broke through the $50 billion market value mark, betting that Cisco and AOL will have market value corrections in the next few months. Monthly date of annual financial report release.

Short-selling Cisco and AOL Capital believe that the capital markets will calm down as the two companies fail to match their high-market-value financial reports.

Therefore, as of the close of January 21, only the short size of Cisco and AOL exceeded 6 billion US dollars, and the total short size of the entire NASDAQ technology stock market reached 20 billion US dollars. Zhou is expected to continue to expand.

Stock hedging is a zero-sum game operation.

Short-term contracts at the level of US$20 billion naturally mean long positions of the same size.

Cersei Fund Management, a subsidiary of Cersei Capital, has quietly increased the size of hedge funds to US$5 billion, and US$20 billion in short contracts for technology stocks. Only Cersei Fund Management has undertaken one-third of this. At 7 billion U.S. dollars, Simon does not want to take more, but the market is also not short of bulls and other bulls.

Even, to facilitate the establishment of many hedge funds' short positions specifically for technology stocks such as Cisco and AOL, Westeros and other closely related shareholder shareholders have also very generously lent their own technology stocks, as long as you Dare to borrow, I will dare to give.

Of course, you are at your own risk.
