Disney's acquisition of the Fox Home Entertainment Channel caused quite a stir in Hollywood.

But when you look at the United States as a whole, this is very small.

Big national news, but also watch Donn!

It's just that this time Tang En, unlike the accumulation of "godhead" in the past news reports, this time, he completely fell off the altar!

At first, it was just a simple report by some Wall Street tabloids, but in June, there were more and more such reports, and even the very authoritative "Wall Street Journal" hit a shocking headline "The God of Stocks Has Fallen, Don Walker Short Loses 870 Million".

CNN, Fox TV, CBS TV have all followed up on the report, and even ABC TV, which has always paid little attention to financial news, has made a large-scale dispatch to carry out a large-scale and all-round report on this matter!

In short, this summer, the magical Donn, has become no longer magical!

For such a report, Donn is of course happy to see it happen, and he enjoys the result.

What's a little fame?

Getting rich is the last word!

Last year, Donn went on a shorting spree on the Nasdaq, and tech companies collectively lost money. The China Securities Regulatory Bureau (CSRC) has imposed strong supervision and restraint on the financial initiatives of Down Capital.

It is unlikely that Dunn Capital will be able to go short as easily as it did last year.

But now it's good!

In the past six months, Down Capital has shorted the NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange, suffered serious losses, and according to the extensive predictions of various media, the wealth of Down Capital has shrunk by at least 30%!

As soon as such a situation appeared, the regulatory pressure encountered by Tangen Capital was reduced all of a sudden.

Scott Swift even excitedly called Don and told him that the staff of the Securities and Futures Commission had notified him that Tang Capital would be allowed to trade normally in the financial market.

Totally liberated!

Now Don is full of confidence, and every time he thinks of the pattern of the financial market in a few months, there is a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although it has gone through a wave of big losses, the available cash flow of Down Capital is still more than $2.2 billion!

At present, the short-selling mechanism of U.S. stocks has not been restricted.

10x leverage, 20x leverage, and even 100x leverage are entirely possible!

With 100 times leverage, Don doesn't dare to play, the operation is too risky, and if you are not careful, even if you have a foresight, you may lose all the games.

But with 20 times leverage, it's not a big problem.

$2.2 billion, using 20 times leverage shorting, can leverage more than $40 billion market by itself......

When the "911 incident" broke out, even if the overall stock price fell by an average of 10%, it would be more than $4 billion in price difference income!

It's scary to think about!

"No, low-key, it has to be low-key!"

Don was a little scared, and he burned his hands when he had more money.

Especially in the recent film market, "Unsinkable" has exploded at the box office, and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" will also be released in North America next weekend on June 22.

In case some people are red-eyed, during this time, it must be low-key!

Of course, during this time, in addition to Donne's fall from the altar, there is also a piece of blockbuster news that has caused a sensation in the United States, and that is the official resignation of Jack Welch, chairman and CEO of General Electric!

The second time Donn and Jack Welch met, it was at Apple.

Jack Welch, a manufacturing legend, went to Silicon Valley for a seminar, and after the conference, he was invited by Steve Jobs to Apple to see his latest design, the iPod music player.

This is not a trade secret, the product has been process-made and is undergoing final in-house testing.

Not surprisingly, it will be officially launched to the market in October of this year.

Jack Welch has launched too many legendary hardware products, just glanced at the iPod, and suddenly patted Don next to him on the shoulder, "I finally understand, why did you buy Apple stock regardless of the cost, this product can increase Apple's stock price by at least 20%!"

Don felt a burst of disdain in his heart, 20% is a fart!

But with a modest smile on his face, "Mr. Welch, I invested in Apple...... It's not because I can tell that Apple can make such a good product. ”

"Oh?" said Jack Welch, "Steve, is it because of you?"

Jobs shook his head, "It's because of me, and it's not because of me!"

Jack Welch raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

Jobs smiled wryly and said, "Because of Pixar!"

Jack Welch laughed when he heard this, pointed at Donn, and cried and laughed, "You're really ...... Determined to do so. ”

Don's heart moved, and he sensed something from his words again.

Last time at Lei Shidong's birthday party, Don heard some strange things from two bigwigs, Conrad Black and Jack Welch.

Both of them coincidentally attacked the two old guys, Murdoch and Lei Shidong.

This is, of course, a social means that can quickly close the distance.

But these people ...... On the surface, they are all good friends.

Why did they dare to guarantee that Don would not tell the truth?

Of course, Don won't snitch, but the strange thing is how do they know?

"Mr. Welch, may I speak to you alone? There are a few questions I would like to ask. Tang En couldn't bear the doubts in his heart and blurted out a question.

Jack Welch looked at him deeply and smiled, "Young man, I just can't hold my breath. ”

Jobs understood as soon as he heard this, and said enthusiastically: "Go to my office, I just happen to have a meeting." ”

……

Jobs' office ...... It's really a birdsong and a fragrance of flowers.

It's a real birdsong and a flower!

There are birds chirping, there is the fragrance of flowers, huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and there is an apple plantation outside, and there are many strange trees planted inside, which are said to have been designed by Jobs himself, and there is a Japanese style of simplicity, fashion, and science fiction.

Absolutely an artist!

Towne is now Apple's largest shareholder, with more than 13.3% of the shares, and Towne Capital has set aside funds that are still being sucked in.

So as half of the host, Donn's warm hospitality led Jack Welch to sit on two bamboo chairs in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, listening to the melodious birdsong in the birdcage above, and looking at the pleasant scenery outside, the whole person was in a comfortable mood.

"That's the right way to lay out!"

Tang En couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

As the world's home for high-end technology, Silicon Valley has the best office environment in the world, because it gives designers and technicians better inspiration.

On the other hand, the office environment in Hollywood...... Lifeless is very pedantic and doesn't like to waste money in this luxurious office environment.

However, compared to Silicon Valley, Hollywood needs creativity more!

Fortunately, the headquarters park of Tangen Pictures is under construction, and it is expected that the first phase will be able to be stationed in August next year.

In addition to the earliest design of the "Down Building" and "Marvel Building", the second design report added six more buildings, including a multi-functional lecture hall, a staff canteen, a fitness center, and a "Rose Building".

"He's a design genius!"

Just as Donn was distracted, Jack Welch suddenly opened his mouth to compliment, and it was clear that he also admired Jobs's office layout.

Tang En smiled: "At least my new headquarters campus is no worse than here." ”

Jack Welch smiled slightly, looking inscrutable, "That's why." ”

"What is the reason?"

"The confusion in your heart. ”

Tang En's heart was shocked, and he stared at him in surprise, and found that his cloudy eyes seemed to be able to really perceive the world.

Of course, that is, the level of observation of words and colors is very high.

At least Apple's future, he didn't predict accurately.

Tang En pondered for a long time, recalling the last conversation between the two, and then asked tentatively, "Is it because of ...... My ambition?"

"Clever!"

Jack Welch gave a thumbs up.

Don shook his head, he had thought about this reason, but he couldn't explain it, "I don't deny this, but...... Mr. Welch, to tell you the truth, the last time I met a very strange big man at Mr. Lei Shidong's party, he directly attacked Mr. Murdoch in front of me, and even had a lot of criticism of Mr. Lei Shidong. ”

Jack Welch said, "Because ambition can determine the pattern." Donn, in just a few years, you have grown rapidly and a new force has risen in Hollywood, as long as you pay attention, you can't escape the eyes of those big names. ”

"Isn't it?" Don En's face was a little ugly, "I think the city is deep enough not to be seen through my mind, right?"

Jack Welch was stunned, then laughed, "Donne, you misunderstood!"

"Huh?"

"People don't see your mind through you as a person, and in fact no one else can do that, not even psychologists. Everyone's path is simple, yes business model and strategic direction. ”

Seeing that Don was silent, Jack Welch continued: "Down Pictures was originally just a film company, so the initial development was very smooth. But soon, your industrial structure changed, TV, animation, toys, the Internet, ...... Your ambitions are obvious, you won't settle for a small film company, you're moving in the direction of a media conglomerate!"

Don En realized, "So...... In the future development of Down Pictures, there will definitely be conflicts of interest with News Corporation and Viacom Group, and we have common opponents?"

Jack Welch smiled, "The opponent can't talk about it, it's just that he doesn't like the two old guys Murdoch and Lei Shidong." ”

Tang En breathed a sigh of relief, this can be regarded as understanding.

The last time Conrad Black said such a strange thing, that is, he saw that the scale of Donn's business development was fast and large, and he wanted to establish a good relationship with him in advance, so that when he started with News Corp. in the future, he could work together.

Thinking of this, Tang En's heart chuckled, and his face changed.

Conrad Black can see it, Jack Welch can see it, how can the same scheming Summerstone Don not understand?

If Done Pictures can challenge Disney today, it will be possible to challenge Viacom tomorrow!

Especially now that the STA TV network is getting better and better, "Six Feet Under" has been released, although only two episodes have been screened, it has become the most attractive TV series in the United States at the moment.

In addition to HBO, SHO has another opponent.

Lei Shidong ......

Will Don be allowed to grow bigger?

It seems that the situation is not optimistic! ()
