After lunch, he rushed to the Jinshu Media headquarters for a short stop. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Simon boarded a private Boeing 767 flying to Seoul on time.
In fact, over the years, the industries invested by the Westeros system in China are far more than the ones Simon has seen in the past few days. On the one hand, time is limited, and on the other hand, it is also Simon's deliberate decision.
After all, his personal goals are too big. Wherever he has been and what he has seen, people will definitely pay special attention to him.
Therefore, I deliberately choose some that are too eye-catching and cannot be hidden, such as the Internet, real estate, film and television industries, etc.
Among them, Simon has only focused on a few iconic high-end projects invested by the Westeros System in China, such as the Levison International Center. However, in fact, a large number of other local real estate companies that the Westeros System has invested in have It is the top priority of Simon’s layout in related fields.
The two are like luxury goods and FMCG.
Luxury goods have high style and great reputation, but the industry size and profit scale are actually far less than the various fast-moving consumer products widely consumed by the public.
In the front cabin study of a Boeing 767.
Chen Qing was still accompanying him. When the plane was stable in the air, he compiled a document and handed it to his boss, which contained data on today's trend of the Chinese stock market, as well as some analysis of the current situation and prospects of the Chinese stock market.
As expected at breakfast, because of the report about Simon in a newspaper today, the Shanghai Composite Index, which had been hovering in the range of nearly 2,000 points for more than a month, broke through the 2,000-point mark today, compared with 1,986 points at yesterday's closing , the intraday index reached a maximum of 2071 points, and closed at 2039 points in the afternoon, with a single-day increase of 2.6%.
There are currently 971 stocks in the A-share market, and as many as 832 of them closed with gains today, which can be described as a bright red.
Chen Qing sat on the sofa opposite her boss's desk. She and the man read the same document. Finally, she glanced at her boss and sighed: "What a pity."
Simon has finished reading and changed to another stack of information, about another group of spokesperson files recruited by the Westeros system in South Korea, but this group is mainly young people, and plans to introduce them to the United States to study and focus on training.
Hearing the sigh from the girl opposite, Simon didn't even look up and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Chen Qing still shook her head slightly: "The stock market could have been a good reservoir of wealth."
Just by saying this, Simon understood.
Smiling, Simon turned over a page of the file in his hand and said, "This is not a matter of speculation. Fundamentally, China does not yet have the foundation to cultivate the stock market into a reservoir of wealth at this stage."
Chen Qing looked over: "Why?"
Simon said: "Because people go to higher places."
Chen Qing curled her lips coquettishly: "The boss is in trouble again."
Simon raised his head and glanced at her, then lowered his head and continued to read the information in his hand, saying: "To put it bluntly, it is still human nature. Capital is controlled by people. By analogy, capital can also be said to be human and will also go up. Let's go. So, what is the 'high place' of capital? A safer place, a freer place, and a place with more generous returns. Therefore, no matter how perfect China's stock market system is, because of the economic status quo of developing countries, it is now At this stage, we still can’t retain much capital.”
Chen Qing thought for a moment and said: "From a rational point of view, it would definitely be better to be more perfect, right?"
"Of course, but it still doesn't bring much advantage," Simon said, glanced at Nizi again, and said with a smile: "You Chinese people always subconsciously feel that the financial markets in Europe and the United States are very complete and formal, so they attract global attention. Capital flocks to it, but this is actually an illusion. For one thing, if Western financial markets were really so perfect, there would be no such frequent cyclical economic crises that always break out from the capital market. Furthermore, if you are interested, I recommend you A book, Den of Thieves, to see how Michael Milken, the king of junk bonds, pulled off insider trading.”
Chen Qing said: "Isn't Michael Milken in jail?"
"Yes," Simon said, "That's why someone can write about him, but more can never be written. You know, it was just the wolves of Wall Street back then, such as Carl Icahn and Ron Perelman and others are now decent people with a net worth of tens of millions, but in fact, they have also done what Milken has done. Moreover, even Michael Milken had most of his assets confiscated. He is still a billionaire, possessing wealth that most ordinary people cannot earn in a lifetime."
Chen Qing tilted her head and suddenly smiled: "Boss, I mean, occasionally, I feel that the boss is, well, to use Chinese terminology, an angry young man, an angry young man."
Simon also laughed: "You should know that I have a medical history of violent schizophrenia. It is normal to have more personality. Fortunately, my realist side can always firmly suppress the idealistic side, so now I A successful person, very successful.”
Chen Qing stuck out her tongue and didn't continue.
If the violent side of my boss were brought out, it would be too much for my small body.
But back to the question just now: "What does the boss mean, is that as long as China's economy develops to a certain level, even if there are still many problems in the financial market, it will still become a reservoir of wealth?"
Simon nodded: "That's the theory."
Chen Qing was disappointed: "Only in theory?"
"Because the reality is too complicated," Simon said: "For example, my home has a large pond with a suitable climate and abundant water plants, but I just don't have the ability to raise fish. If I put a few fry in, a lot of them will die. Even, even if I barely managed to survive, but my neighbors were jealous and secretly poured pesticides into it, what do you think you can do?"
This metaphor
Chen Qingruo realized something: "Since there is such a good pond here, sooner or later there is still hope that there will be schools of fish and shrimps, right?"
"Well, this is a big trend that can be expected."
Chen Qing thought for a moment and said, "But, there may be worse results than what the boss described, right?"
"Yes, for example, in the event of a natural disaster or a super force majeure event such as an earthquake, the pond is directly destroyed. Or, if the pond is taken over by an outsider, and the outsider's home also has a pond, and the two parties are in a competitive relationship, then this person is likely to directly take over the pond. Fill it up and completely cut off potential competition." Simon said, shaking his head with emotion: "So, things are impermanent. Every successful individual, company or even country is actually full of countless accidents. We are sitting here not because We are so good because the world never lacks equally good people, we are just lucky enough.”
Chen Qing was very touched, and in the end she habitually flattered him: "I think maybe I am lucky, but the boss is different."
"Hmm," Simon nodded solemnly, and sighed: "I am indeed different from you earthlings. It's a pity that I will never be able to return to my distant home planet."
Chen Qing laughed.
It's just that, thinking about my boss's legendary personal experience in just over ten years, it seems that he is not really an alien, right
But, it’s quite normal for my family to be different!
