Charlotte Brenita arrived at the Cersei Capital headquarters in midtown Manhattan with her assistant. Passing by the open employee office area, she happened to hear a burst of cheers.
Realizing something, both Charlotte and the reception secretary responsible for leading them couldn't help but slow down and turn their heads to look over.
This is October 30th.
on Monday.
Around 10:50 in the morning, and, most crucially, the first day of a new stock trading week.
Because of Daenerys Entertainment's 'Embracing the Internet' press conference yesterday, everyone who pays attention to the stock market knows that today will definitely be a very exciting day.
Just as she was about to step forward to view the content on the large wall-mounted screen in the office area, the latest iBerry phone in Charlotte's handbag rang a beep. Instead of stepping forward like the two people around her, Charlotte took it out on her own. On your phone, open Browse.
This was a message from Aaliyah's corporate financial information service, which Charlotte subscribed to.
Speaking of which, Verizon's mobile network, Tinker Bell's smart iBerry series of mobile phones, and even the Aaliyah Financial Information Services Company founded by Girl B, this world is almost full of traces of the Westeros system.
While she likes the iBerry in her hand more and more, Charlotte also has some regrets. Related services can only cover a few countries on the planet. If it is a little more remote, the iBerry will be reduced to a purely functional machine.
The thought flashed past, and Charlotte had already seen the message on the screen.
At 10:51 a.m. on October 30, 2000, Tinco Bayer's stock rose 4.6%, with a stock price of US$204.13 and a market value of US$1,000.3 billion, becoming the second trillion-dollar company in the history of each share.
Charlotte stared at the message on the screen for at least five seconds before reacting.
Tink Bayer!
Then there was a little smile.
As an excellent fund manager, Charlotte is indeed more optimistic about Tinker Bayer than Daenerys, and believes that this company has a better chance than Daenerys Entertainment to achieve success before the bubble bursts. Billion market value achievement.
However, Daenerys hosted such a lively event yesterday, but today it was Tinker Byer who first broke through the trillion market value threshold. Perhaps, Amy Pascal, who is also familiar with her in private, probably It would be very depressing.
According to a Chinese proverb that Charlotte has been taking time to learn, this should be, making wedding clothes for others.
Just as I was thinking this, the voice of my female assistant came to my ears: "Tinko Bayer, how could it be Tinko Bayer?"
Charlotte glanced at the time in the upper right corner of the screen, but did not respond to the female assistant's doubts. Instead, she said to the beautiful blond reception secretary: "Let's go upstairs, the time is almost up."
The reception secretary, who was also full of curiosity and doubts, agreed, made a gesture of invitation, and led the two of them to the internal elevator. Seeing Charlotte still playing with the iBerry as she walked, the other two women, both using the same mobile phone, couldn't do the same. The reception secretary couldn't restrain her curiosity and said, "Ms. Brittany, I guess Dani Liz is pretty close too, right?”
Charlotte smiled. She had just turned to the real-time price list of some stocks she was following. She heard this and satisfied the reception secretary's curiosity: "Daenerys's current increase is 2.7%, which is still short of 40 billion."
The reception secretary smiled and nodded, agreeing: "That will be quick too."
The three of them entered the elevator and waited for the reception secretary to press the button. The assistant next to him also followed suit: "Boss, where is Igret? I think this is the one that everyone should pay more attention to?"
Charlotte said: "The industry predicts that the Nasdaq Composite Index will rise by around 2% today, and the fluctuations in Igret's stock price will be similar. It will not exceed 1.2 trillion today."
At the close of trading last Friday, Igret's market value had exceeded the US$1.1 trillion mark, reaching US$1.1219 billion.
Not to mention a fraction of 120 billion, just a fraction of more than 20 billion US dollars, which exceeds the total market value of more than 90% of the companies in the global stock market.
Such a giant enterprise, while leading the U.S. stock market, also makes everyone a little worried. If it climbs too high, it will fall harder. Therefore, the trading volume is not as good as that of the following companies, and the stock price growth rate slows down.
With her curiosity satisfied, the two women around her said nothing more, and Charlotte was able to think about something.
As an important liaison between the Westeros system and Swiss capital, Charlotte Brenita was initially able to get to a certain tycoon by relying on some new technology investment-related projects. Naturally, she herself was very optimistic about the Internet. development prospects.
Therefore, before the new technology bubble burst in March 1997, Charlotte had already begun to invest all her excess private savings in technology stocks. During this period, there were some ups and downs, and the overall returns were huge.
Then, as the Nasdaq became more and more crazy, Charlotte has been continuously reducing its holdings since the Federal Reserve started the interest rate hike cycle again in July. Currently, less than 30% of the position is left.
Maybe you can call your stockbroker at noon and it's time to clear out your positions completely.
Smart people can no longer be greedy at this time.
Moreover, this does not mean giving up permanently. When the bubble dissipates and the price of technology stocks returns to a certain normal level, she will buy again.
After leaving the elevator, the reception secretary took Charlotte and Brenita to a rest room outside the office, served coffee, and said: "Wait a moment, Mr. Westeros will be here soon."
After Charlotte thanked her, she sat down on the sofa and continued to browse various news on iBerry while waiting.
Simon is in another conference room on the same floor.
In addition to himself, there was also Leon Black, the president of Apollo Management Company, and a number of guests from Ukraine, mainly the two governors supported by the Westeros system, Vladimir Korkoshko and An Andrei Smirnov, Oldek Company Chairman Sergei Komorov and other core members of the Rivne Gang, the only outsider is Viktor Pinchuk, the son-in-law of the current president, who can be regarded as a representative of the Kiev authorities .
This morning's meeting mainly discussed the Westeros system's investment plan for Ukraine next year.
While continuing to invest in the Rivne Oblast light industry complex, starting next year, Simon plans to strengthen support for several major heavy industry sectors such as Ukrainian steel, electricity, shipbuilding, and railways.
The Westeros system has been involved in related fields in Ukraine, and this time it is more clear about some development ideas.
To put it simply, while supporting the development of Rivne to Odessa Xiwu, steel, electricity, shipbuilding and other items can be exported, with the focus on exporting to Africa.
Why Ukraine
Because of the cost!
For example, the African region where Simon plans to continue operating is very poor. If you want to build a power plant, developed countries, whether it is American units or French equipment, will definitely not be able to afford it. Relatively speaking, as long as it can pick up the industrial base left by the former Soviet Union, Ukraine will have a strong cost advantage in related fields.
Let’s talk about steel or shipbuilding, etc., the same principle applies.
The technology left over from the Soviet era may not be as high-end and sophisticated as that of the West, but for backward countries like Africa, as long as it can be used, it is enough. Other efficiency, environmental protection, etc. do not need to be considered too much for the time being.
Of course, Simon has not forgotten that a large Eastern country on the other side of the ocean also has a huge cost advantage, and will also allocate a large number of cooperation projects in the future. However, again, eggs cannot be put in one basket.
Ukraine is also just a small basket in Simon's plan.
At eleven o'clock sharp, the two-hour meeting ended on time. Simon, Korkoshko and others made an appointment to see each other at a reception at noon. They sent everyone off and turned to walk to the conference room where they were.
Walking through the corridors, Carmen Keith, who was following her, took advantage of every opportunity: "Boss, ten minutes ago, another one broke the trillion dollar mark, and it was Tinker Bayer."
Simon paused for a moment, having the same thought as Charlotte. He laughed and shook his head: "Amy must be very depressed."
Carmen Keys mentioned Daenerys's stock price trend again, and then said: "Also, there is a call from the White House. Mr. President hopes to speak to you at noon."
Simon understood what was going on.
Or the general election.
In fact, since Gore and Schlapp broke up last weekend, in the past two days, many people in the Washington circle have contacted the core members of the Westeros system to inquire, question, doubt or complain. This can be regarded as the beginning of the sequelae.
Clinton endured it for two days, but apparently still couldn't hold it in any longer, and also planned to talk to Simon.
However, Simon is least worried about the White House.
The thing is simple. If Gore continues for another eight years, will Hillary still have a chance to take over
You must know that electoral politics in Western countries generally have a pendulum effect. Even if a political party does well, over time, voters who have accumulated various dissatisfactions will subconsciously switch to the other side.
Just like Germany later, the typical pendulum effect was that there were too many good days... and then all kinds of dire straits.
Now, Clinton has been there for eight years. If Gore has been there for another eight years, it will be difficult for Hillary to top the list in 2008.
History has been messed up more and more by Simon. If 2008 cannot match it, who knows how long we will have to wait, or will populism rise and repeat the same mistakes as in 2016
Simon's abandonment of Gore would benefit the Clintons.
With this in mind, he asked Carmen to confirm the call time. Simon had already arrived outside his office.
In the rest room, Charlotte Brenita was fiddling with her iBerry phone with her head down. She was reminded by her assistant. She looked up and saw Simon. She quickly stood up and came forward and said, "Simon, good morning."
Simon greeted, hugged the Swiss girl gently, and asked with a smile: "What are you looking at?"
"One piece of news," Charlotte put away the iBerry and walked with Simon to the office while continuing: "About the box office of "The Conjuring 4: The Dead", it was US$51.36 million in three days, which is really amazing."
Simon had already read the report in the morning and nodded slightly: "Have you seen the movie? How did it feel?"
"Oh, not yet," Charlotte said, and subconsciously added: "I plan to make time to watch it soon."
Simon sensed Charlotte's tone and said with a smile: "If you're not your type, don't force it."
Charlotte responded slightly, and sat down on the sofa in the reception area of the office with the man. Thinking of the news she had received before, she asked: "Simon, do you know the market value of Tinker Bayer?"
"I just found out," Simon said, still smiling, "I was wondering if I should call Amy and comfort her."
After a lot of work, the price next door exceeded one trillion. Thinking about it makes me a little crazy.
Charlotte laughed.
Carmen brought the coffee, and the two paused their conversation. Simon took a sip, put down the cup, and got back to the topic: "Tell me about your trip to Southeast Asia."
Charlotte Brenita had just arrived in the United States from Asia.
To be precise, I flew from Singapore to New York.
Of course, it is still for the investment layout of the Westeros system in Southeast Asia.
Simon doesn't like investment goals to be placed in one basket. Likewise, the more shell baskets for investing, the better. Switzerland has always been the best place to hide capital and make shells. Charlotte Brenita, who was born in a Swiss financial family, naturally became one of Simon's many white gloves in Switzerland.
During this trip to Southeast Asia, Charlotte Brenita mainly inspected the investment prospects in technology industries such as network and communications in various countries and regions. After listening to Simon's questions, she cheered up and started talking.
Overall, Charlotte is not optimistic.
Because the development of Southeast Asia is extremely uneven, either Singapore is too small, or Indonesia is backward and closed. If you want to open up the situation, it will be difficult to see results without ten years of operation.
Charlotte’s personal advice is to try to invest in the communications industry in Southeast Asia first, improve the foundation, and then consider higher-level network services.
Of course, different regions still need to be distinguished.
For example, Singapore can now get involved in deeper network technology investments, and it can use Singapore as a base to develop various network products and directly launch them in surrounding countries.
In the communications industry in Southeast Asia, whether it is Verizon or AOL, they have actually started trying to enter the industry very early.
Because we didn't pay much attention to it, the progress was mediocre.
In Asia, the main targets of the two companies are still Japan, South Korea and China, either their economies are developed enough or their markets are large enough.
Now, the time has come to 2000 and the new century has entered. Coupled with the overall layout strategy of the Westeros system itself, it is also time to increase investment.
Inside the office.
Simon chatted with Charlotte Brenita for an hour, and he agreed with the manager's views and told the other party to put together a written investment plan as soon as possible. The meeting also came to an end.
When he was going out, Simon remembered it and said, "Also, there will be a cocktail party later, let's come together."
A short hour seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye. Brenita was a little reluctant to leave. She nodded subconsciously after hearing this, but felt that she was not reserved enough, so she added: "Simon, what kind of cocktail party are you talking about?"
"Entertain guests from Ukraine," Simon said, then smiled: "In recent years, you have also developed a lot of business in Ukraine, right?"
Charlotte nodded.
You know, a few years ago, the first time I met the young tycoon next to me was actually in Ukraine.
At that time, in order to stabilize her position within the family consortium, Charlotte took the initiative to develop business and tried to invest in the popular Instagram project. She was unexpectedly called to Ukraine, where she met a certain person in a military theme park that is now famous in Europe. people.
Think more deeply.
Um.
There is some resentment for no reason.
Because, at that time, Brenita had already made certain psychological preparations when she knew something about a certain man in private. However, over the years, there was no shortage of intimate interactions in private, but...
Think of the girl who is like running water next to a man.
Charlotte Brenita even had some self-doubt.
It's not that you doubt your own charm.
But...well, she was a little confused. Had she slept or not
Simon didn't know what the girl next to him was thinking. When he saw that she suddenly stopped talking and was not in a hurry, he entered the elevator and then continued: "Whether it is Ukraine or Asia, in addition to investment, I also hope that you can help match up, whether it is Ukraine or Asia. Financial management and savings, or studying abroad and immigrating, well, remember you have always done these, right?"
Charlotte retracted her thoughts, glanced at the man beside her, and said quickly: "Yes."
Simon didn't see any difference, and continued: "We can invest more in this part," and then turned to Carmen: "Take a note of it, discuss it with Charlie privately, and compile a copy of the information for me."
Carmen didn't understand why her boss would mention this, but she nodded in agreement.
Simon had no explanation.
In fact, it is also very simple.
Do more to attract rich and powerful people from countries like Ukraine to save in Swiss banks. In the future, if something happens, there is no need for the United States to say anything. Let Switzerland come out and say, if you dare to do anything, be careful of Switzerland. Gold coins in the bank.
By then, countless people will be trembling.
Whatever you want to do, maybe it will be done before you know it!
As for the status of a neutral country
Actually, it's really not that important.
Because there is no choice.
After all, do you dare to save money back to your own country, or transfer it to the UK or the United States
Is it possible to send it to Africa
The black uncles with white teeth were so happy.
Thank you for the gift of nature!
