King of Hollywood

Chapter i

Foam

It seems that in the West, at the turn of the century, there are mysterious rumours that are always mixed with disasters, especially at the turn of the millennium, which are particularly exaggerated, and that the continuing plague and famine are said to have alarmed the whole of Europe at the onset of the 1000 BC, and many believe that the end of the day is coming.

Even by the year 2000, the most famous was Notcha? The prophecy of Danmas and the millennium worm, one involving mystics and one involving science, are mutually reinforcing, presumably in relation to the religious factors that are rooted in Western societies. [Search latest updates all over]

Of course, at the moment when the most luxurious crystal ball ever fell in Times Square, the Millennium Bell rang, the horrible King of Demons didn't descend from the sky, and the bomb didn't jump to 00 and fire because of the timer, the world was running as usual, and a bunch of songs were dancing flat.

This is especially true in Hollywood, where the past decade has brought the film industry back to its peak, with the emergence of a great number of directors and producers, the most famous of whom is no better than Adrian, the miracle director? Corwell. As of the millennium, with as many as 15 films produced and shown by his own director, the global total box office was close to $3 billion.

If you split it it up, it's not surprising, although it's good. James? Cameron has only directed six films so far, and Titanic alone has taken over two billion box offices around the world, and Steven? Spielberg, North American box office alone, is close to 3 billion. But the problem is that there are things that have to go hand in hand, that Adrian took less than a decade to complete, and that these films have all kinds of styles, and they're confusing, and many people say that without style, it's his style.

Besides, it's all about the films he directs himself, and with all the work he's involved in, basically nobody can compare.

Moreover, Adrian is not only a director and producer, but also a chairman of a very young AC Media, a large media group such as Viacom and News Group, and it has taken less than a decade from its inception to its current size to acquire t

c Repurchase of the Universal Film Industry, which goes hand in hand and rarely makes mistakes. Rocket-like growth is amazing and impossible to replicate, attracting many scholars to do research.

Ability to acquire t

s, a

c and the Universal Film Industry can quickly stabilize them. Adrian Kung Fu can't help but think of some brilliant stories of high commercial value and make them into movies or TV dramas. The most viewed reality shows at present are all about him, all of which gave him countless titles, Ace writers, miracle directors, gold medal producers, and nobody questioned them - anyone who questioned them had their face swollen.

His eyes were always filled with music, and countless directors, actors and producers wanted to work with him, especially actresses, even knowing he was a famous playboy.

The media put the name "Wonder Girl" on the actress who worked with Adrian, and everyone knew he was close to them, even except Julia? Roberts, there are almost no pictures of other women with him alone. There's even rumors. Tom the Hollywood Golden Boy? Cruz and Nicole? Kidman will get a divorce, too, for his sake.

And it's all open news, and as for those who only know it in circles, that's more. Forgive me, the actress is still very enthusiastic about him, and as long as Adrian favors her, it's not hard to fly.

He always grabbed the woman's identity with precision, Kate, one of the Wonder Girls? Blanchett got Oscar's best actress, Gwyneth, the Wonder Woman, early last year because of him? And because he's been nominated for Oscar's Best Actress several times, Patrolo won a lot of accolades for the full show of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" in January, and silenced another “Wonder Woman” Monica for almost a year? Belucci's glorious nomination for the Oscar's Best Actress is already a certainty.

How can you keep actresses from moving forward with such attractiveness as power and talent? However, the admired miracle director is now doing something that has nothing to do with the film.

“Already let it all go?” In a spacious office, Adrian at the desk looked at Claude and asked.

“Not yet, but soon enough,” Claude laughed, “Don't worry, you haven't completely let go, have you? ”

And then he turned the LCD tablet in front of him: “Cisco's market value is over 500 billion, which is crazy. ”

In '98, Apple developed LCD monitors, and every other year, LCD flat monitors came out, and I have to say, Jobs was a great guy. As Apple's shareholders, it's normal for Adrian and Claude to use Apple computers, as is customized LCD tablet monitors.

It's just depressing that Apple computers never provide left-click mice, and no matter how users react and protest, they're reluctant to give in, and Apple's technology, though powerful, is stubborn in some ways. Fortunately, since last year, the Apple computer has begun to be compatible with other mice, otherwise Adrian will definitely have to tangle with the LCD display and the mouse.

“Yes, this is foam, it can break anytime, anywhere.” Adrian nodded.

Over the past year, IT stocks have gone wild and started to surge, with Cisco at just over 100 billion at the beginning of last year, and now, in mid-January 2000, it has passed the 500 billion mark. The same goes for other IT stocks, not to mention older IT companies like Microsoft, Dell —— and Microsoft's market value is over 500 billion —— and Yahoo's market value is over hundreds of billions, and e

ay also has tens of billions.

It's the best of times to make all shareholders and investors go nuts, invest a dollar, and in a few days it can turn into dozens of dollars, and in a few months it can turn into hundreds of dollars, and no wonder people are shouting.

But is that true? Without looking at the insane market value, a little attention to the actual assets of these companies will give you a breath of cool air. It's also a big company with a market value of more than 500 billion. Cisco's actual assets are less than 10 billion, and Microsoft does not exceed 40 billion. Years of General Electric, the number one market value, is more than 500 billion, almost equal to the market value!

The value of a company on the stock market must be based on the actual assets of the enterprise, and if the market value exceeds the actual assets too much, it creates a bubble and is highly volatile. Cisco's actual assets are just over 10 billion, but its market value reaches 500 billion, and it's still a common phenomenon in IT companies, isn't it a big bubble that could break at any moment?

In fact, most financials recognize this somewhat, so what's the use? There are things that don't shift with the will of people. When the bubble breaks, even the guys on Wall Street who are waiting to pull themselves out and make a fortune, not to mention a lot of people yelling good for a strong IT unit, speculators and people who are out of their minds everywhere.

As a reborn, Adrian naturally began to prepare early in '99, when he allowed Leggett to start slowly selling the stock in his possession and transferring his shares. Stocks are not how much they hold in hand, how much they can get after they are sold. Each sale causes stock price fluctuations. Once the amount thrown at once is very large, it may break the bubble in advance, and several major investment banks are ready to withdraw.

You know, those Cisco, Microsoft stocks held in Adrian's hands, if they were put up to now, would have a market value of at least 60 billion. Once they hit the stock market, they collapsed without discussion. By then, the stock was a pile of scrap paper, and we were lucky enough to recover two or three billion dollars, and we had not counted the taxes to be paid.

In addition to this, the AC Media Group itself and Claude personally hold part of the IT stock, which, taken together, is even greater. So when selling, you have to be careful, and you have to grasp the degree to which some people feel, so that they can raise the price of the affected shares for more profit, instead of selling them together and rupturing the foam early.

In a sense, Adrian is eating at the mouth of the tiger, although he is already a media tycoon, and AC Media is one of the premier media groups. Compared to some people on Wall Street, he is still a little underwatched and slightly less qualified. Countless accounts have been used throughout the process, and every player has done everything in their power to grasp the disc, which is fine.

Plus, on the pretext that you need money, like AC Media transferred most of Yahoo's shares to Jerry on the pretext of competing with Bettersman for the Landon House? Every founder wants to keep the company in their own hands, Jerry? Yang is no exception, even though AC Media has not interfered too much in Yahoo's affairs.

But the Landon House was taken down by Bettersman. It just cost a lot more. Doesn't matter. Adrian already told you, no Landon House and Horton? Mifflin Publishing House, and in a few years, it won't even have to be expanded anymore, and publishing companies are now out of fame for the Harry Potter collection.

Anyway, so far, apart from some future stock, like Apple and Amazon —— the former doesn't have to say, it's definitely stupid to sell now, and the latter, Jeff, the CEO? Bezos is a rare talent. As the IT bubble began to expand, the market capitalization cost of each company grew, and he was the only one under pressure to maintain Amazon's steady growth, currently worth less than a billion dollars.

Most of Amazon's shareholders are very dissatisfied when they see a lot of money being made, and a lot of people contact Adrian and Claude's agent in it, hoping that they will come out and put pressure on Bezos, after all, the shares in both hands are Amazon's major shareholders. But after a long time of reflection, Adrian, along with Claude, euphemistically rejected their offer and even helped Bezos share some pressure.

If you just want to make a big buck, that's a quick answer, join all the shareholders as big shareholders to force Bezos to absorb more money, and then multiply it by dozens, and then back off at tens of billions of dollars, but how much can that make? You know, it took more than a year to cash in on those stocks. And there aren't many foresight IT company CEOs like him, so what happens to Amazon if he resigns after the bubble bursts?

Well, even if Amazon went down, there were other e-commerce websites to replace it, but that would be out of Adrian's control. Although he didn't know who Amazon's CEO was in his past life, he remembered that it had been developing well and that Amazon had a place in his plan. Of course, he could deliberately bankrupt Amazon in this way and then hire Bezos back after a full takeover, but it would take a lot of time, and who knew what would happen along the way, and that would not be in line with his vision for the future.

So why don't you give Bezos a hand right now, and he's making enough money up here. Adrian made almost $20 billion in cash after those confirmed stocks were cashed, in addition to taxes and player dividends! This figure looks a little too far from the $60 billion market value, but don't forget it's cash! And he's all alone! Which private person can offer such cash at once?! Even Cisco today, I'm afraid the reserve will not exceed 10 billion! And almost as much as Claude and the entire AC Media group earned from it, although the entire group also held more shares in their hands because of future considerations.

In addition, Adrian sold the transfer in parallel with Microsoft shares of 2 for General Electric shares of 1. In this country, those who control the energy and arms business are the real giants, otherwise how can the real assets of General Electric be equal to the market value? This supercompany, which dates back to the last century, is the largest defense provider in the United States, from aircraft to missiles, without which they cannot produce.

61 The neutron generators of nuclear bombs are also provided by them, and to exaggerate, if universal is to fall, the United States is almost doomed.

1 shares don't look useful, but Adrian himself doesn't want to go into General Electric, and General Financial Statements can sometimes be very useful and get some useful news better and faster. Quite frankly, just like he invested in Blackwater in '97, but most of the time he didn't listen except to find out what was going on to keep him from getting kicked out, just to share a small piece of cake with the giants.

While it bubbled, Adrian made a fortune, but he wasn't ready to quit, and while the sale and transfer was over, there were other ways to make money and make more money.

“I must remind you, Ed, that predicting dates is the most critical and difficult.” Claude said something.

“Yes, I know. What day do you think it will be?” Adrian nodded looking at the computer screen.

“Hard to say, I'm afraid no one in the United States knows, even those who are ready can't be sure when it's best," Claude shook his head and said, "You're gambling again, man. ”

Is there an easy way to make a fortune in this world? Of course there is. That's the futures! Often a few days of kung fu, tens of thousands of dollars can turn into millions, while hundreds of millions can turn into tens of billions, as if it were magic, so profitable that many people naturally persist, even if they know that the risk is equally high, that by accident, today is still a millionaire, and will go bankrupt tomorrow.

how is it possible to have at least trillions of dollars flowing through derivative financial markets when the IT bubble ruptures?! And futures are not stocks, so long as someone accepts the order, they won't be afraid to get the money. Futures don't need to be too deep of a discipline, the key is to be able to predict dates accurately.

When Adrian relied on Claude to fire oil futures for further start-up funding, Claude was able to successfully complete his mission, most notably by giving him the exact date of the attack by the United States military.

But the world is developing linearly, and while some things are inevitable, like waging the Gulf War and rupturing the IT bubble, others are very accidental, like waging the war and rupturing the bubble. Adrian was never a gambler, and although he had been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City several times, he had never gambled. Instead of that gold-throwing stimulus, he preferred to let everything go according to his plan. In addition to having to fire oil futures nine years ago without the willingness to accumulate funds better and more quickly, he didn't have enough influence over the world at the time to be worth gambling on.

But not now, he implicitly remembered that the IT bubble rupture of the previous life should have been in early February 2000, but in the past year, because he kept cashing in and transferring equity, the volatile stock market must not be the same as in previous life, so Cisco's market value now exceeded 500 billion, and few companies could reach that level, so it would be difficult to say if the bubble would break even a little earlier.

“If you think about it, we'll find traces.” Adrian continued.

“I really don't understand. You've made enough money. Why risk so much?” Claude whispered.

He's right, the actual assets of AC Media are estimated to be at least 50 billion, and Adrian, who owns 45 shares, has more than 20 billion households, and if listed, including those virtual assets, the market value of the group will at least double. Together with the $20 billion currently earned, and some of the real estate, surpassing the lid has become the world's richest and most stress-free.

Besides, there are many industries waiting for him to develop in the future, and the wealth will only grow further, and there's no need to take risks at all —— unfortunately, that's why he's doing it, and there's still a chance in the future, and he's only going to spend 10 billion to buy and drop, and even if he hits the water, he can afford to lose, besides ——
