Chapter 140 New York Times Commentary

……

"Matthew, well done. The breakfast was plentiful!"

Looking at the hearty breakfast that was full of a large table and most of them could supplement protein, Guo Shouyun was very satisfied.

"Thank you boss for the compliment, it's good to make you satisfied!"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "Have you eaten?" If you haven't eaten, sit down and eat some together!"

"I've already eaten it!"

"That's good! By the way, did I book the yacht I ordered you?"

"It's booked!"

"Show me the information!"

"Why don't you have breakfast and watch it later?"

Guo Shouyun shook his head, "I'll wait for Molly!"

Two people who love each other eat together to feel better.

Matthew nodded, turned around and took out a document from his room and handed it to Guo Shouyun.

"Faraday, that's not an ordinary name!"

After muttering a sentence, Guo Shouyun flipped through the information behind. In the attached photo, the white three-story yacht is beautiful. The length of 30 meters also guarantees plenty of space and plenty of recreational facilities.

"How much is the rent?"

"15,000 Rufiyaa an hour!"

Rufia is the currency of the Maldives, with a value equivalent to half of the Chinese currency and one-sixteenth of the US dollar.

"That's it!" After returning the information to Matthew, "By the way, will you drive this thing?"

"Yes!"

"That's good. That way we don't have to find someone else!"

Seeing that Molly couldn't get out for a while, Guo Shouyun took a piece of bread and padd his stomach, took out the notebook he brought with him, plugged in the network cable, and opened his mailbox.

Before he could read it, more than a dozen unread emails popped up inside. Guo Shouyun's heart jumped, thinking that something big had happened. Hurriedly clicked on the front of the line, which was also an email from Cheng Tinghua.

It's not much, just six words: "Congratulations, Bruce!"

Guo Shouyun's heart was relieved, "It doesn't seem to be unlucky!"

opened the email of Qin Xiao and the others in the back, and slowly understood what was going on. After minimizing his mailbox, he opened Google, found the online version of The New York Times, and on the left side of its front page was written the headline, "7.5 million in 8 weeks, The Da Vinci Code set a new record for U.S. distribution."

However, this New York Times press release doesn't have much to say about The Da Vinci Code. However, the introduction of him takes up most of the space.

"Bruce Kwok, a genius who graduated from Stanford two years early. At the age of 19, he has already published the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy, the "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", "National Treasure: Declaration of Independence", "Finding Nemo" two-part series, "The Hangover", "Smart: Ghost Record", "Fast and Furious", and the latest "The Da Vinci Code", a total of 9 books! a total of about 2.73 million words!

“… In terms of quantity alone, the number of annual publications of 9 books is staggering, but it is not unprecedented. However, compared to the mere quantity, each of Bruce Guo's films has achieved amazing hits. Not counting "The Da Vinci Code", which has just set a new record in the history of American distribution, "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", the three earliest published films by Bruce Guo, have so far created an astonishing 4.55 million copies, 5.37 million copies and 8.37 million copies, respectively. The remaining 5 are all bestsellers who have sold more than a million copies. ”

"Bruce Kwok, in less than a year he has achieved something amazing that no one else has achieved in his lifetime. There's no doubt that this year's Forbes Who's Who list, Dan Brown, Stephen King, and James Patterson will all be overshadowed in front of him. It is a great honor that we will witness the birth of a ruling American nation!"

"This guy won't be a fan of mine, will he?"

The tone of amazement in the text, as well as the unstingy appreciation, even Guo Shouyun himself felt a little embarrassed when he read it. Moreover, Dan Brown, Stephen King, and James Patterson are all masters of the American popular world for decades.

Comparing himself with these people made Guo Shouyun, the 'copyist', tremble in his heart.

"In the future, unless it's a top bestseller, I won't use my own pen name!"

Guo Shouyun secretly decided in his heart.

After all, copying books is not a long-term solution, and it doesn't hurt to use it without funds at first, but it will take a long time later. If something goes wrong in the middle, then his face will be lost!

Just as Guo Shouyun was planning his future writing catalog, there was also an exchange about him taking place in New York on the other side of the Atlantic.

"Ding...!"

The spoon slowly stirred the coffee in the cup, and because of the uneven force, there was a crisp but not harsh collision sound from time to time.

After feeling that the color was about the same, Blank Fein put down the spoon, picked it up and took a sip.

"There's less sugar added!"

"It's bitter to bring out the taste of St. Helena coffee. John Jamison laughed.

"I still prefer sweeter, it reminds me of a lot of pleasant things!" After a pause, "Did you read yesterday's New York Times?"

"Well, quite an amazing report, Mr. Bush has become the final winner of the presidential race!"

"John, you know that's not what I'm talking about!" Blanc Fein looked directly at the man sitting across from him.

"Bruce Guo?"

"Not bad!" Blanc Finn nodded, "I thought I knew enough about him before, and now it seems that our genius writer will never see the end." Google and LinkedIn aside, the income he generates from writing alone is close to one-fifth of our Goldman Sachs profit this year! Such an ability is really admirable, even enviable!"

"The most important thing is that he's only nineteen!" John Jamison added.

"Yes!" Blank Finn glanced at the partner opposite, "You have had face-to-face contact with him here, so I think you should have a deeper understanding and understanding of Bruce Guo?"

John Jamison nodded, his face showing a look of thought and memory.

"Bruce Kwok, my first impression of him was his youth. Nineteen years old is really an enviable age. I was also impressed by his confidence and alertness. I have met many talented young people, even the descendants of many large families. But even compared to them, Bruce Guo doesn't feel inferior to me, even better than most of them!"

"Then he doesn't have a flaw?"

"Absolutely. Stubbornness, the frizziness of a young man, and the immature business skills are all present in him. John Jamison said.

"And presumptuous!" Blanc Fein smiled.

"It's up to you to look at it! Leverage a huge amount of $3 billion to enter the capital market and short a giant like Enron, without even considering the risk of failure. In this way, his decision was indeed extremely aggressive, and at worst a little stupid. But from another point of view, this is also a courage that is difficult for ordinary people to reach! From his point of view, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who have the courage to dare to confront the huge Enron head-on, including you and me!" John Jamison said slowly with his eyes squinted slightly.

Blank Fein thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

His intervention not only made Enron's people hate. Even **** and Citi have a headache! $3 billion is not a small amount!"

"Of course, and his generosity indirectly contributed to our action against Enron!" John Jamison added.

"Yes! If it weren't for him rushing ahead in the first place, I wouldn't have made such a heavy bet all at once, even if I sensed that there was an opportunity in Enron's stock. … However, if a person is too dazzling, it will always make people jealous!"

John Jamison was silent, and after thinking for a moment, "Blank, I suggest Goldman Sachs or not get involved?"

"Why? Do you think that a rootless Bruce Guo can still stand up to Enron and her vast allies?" Blanc Finn's eyes twinkled.

"Of course not! However, compared to Enron, who has already sunset, Bruce Guo is like the sun that has just risen in the morning. One is already doomed, the other is destined to show brilliance. Smart people know how to choose. And, even if they succeeded this time. Do you think that with the hole cards in Bruce Guo's hands now, and even his talent, it will really collapse?"

After a pause, John Jamison's eyes revealed a deep wisdom, "Moreover, **** people are very shrewd." They wouldn't really be dead to Bruce either. More likely they just want to take this opportunity to get more of the benefits they want from Bruce Guo. After all, whether it is LinkedIn, or Google, as well as Matrix and Thorn Bird, they all have great potential and potentially huge profits. Besides, Morgan's two-sided nature is also a secret that Wall Street does not make public!"

"Maybe we can follow Morgan's example and take advantage of this opportunity to reap more benefits?" said Blank Fein after a moment of thought.

"We're not Morgan! Morgan and Bruce Kwok have zero favorability, so they can choose to be a villain first, but we're different. John Jamison shook his head slowly, "If we force our way in, we're just going to destroy our growing relationship with Bruce." In the future, when his companies with amazing potential go public, there may not be a chance for us Goldman Sachs! It is too much to gain and more to lose! Moreover, Wall Street has concentrated capital forces from all over the world, and although Enron's allies are huge, they are nothing compared to the whole world. I believe that driven by interests, many capitals and groups are willing to stand up and share the pressure for Bruce. ”
