Chapter 553: Talking about Stocks and Gold
Liu Chen is still very strange, when have you seen this guy, Parker said with a smile: "Last week, I went to Harvard, and I took a lecture at the Sanders Theater, and Professor Memphis gave a case study of Chinese enterprises, and you said a lot of interesting knowledge at that time, right, I said how can I have an impression of you." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
I see.
Zhang Shi said with a smile: "I have always paid close attention to Professor Memphis's case study of Chinese enterprises, and I couldn't leave last week, so I asked Parker to audit the record and bring it back to me." ”
"Seniors are interested in domestic companies?"
"One day, I will definitely return to China. Zhang Shi swore that he was extremely firm, Liu Chen was very surprised, people who were able to come to the United States in the nineties rarely wanted to go back.
Just then his phone rang, and the coffee shop was a little noisy, so he went out to pick it up.
Parker said: "The boss has always said that China is about to rise, the whole country is full of life, and everyone can make a fortune. Many vigorous entrepreneurs and high-tech start-up companies have emerged in China. ”
To have such a vision, it is really extraordinary, it should not be a small person, but Liu Chen can't think of a person like Zhang Shi at all, probably because he has been focusing on technology in his previous life, except for the well-known Alibao, Penguin, and Qiandu, other companies know very little.
"What company are you in?"
"An emerging market hedge fund in Washington, whose name is bullish, is called Haru, have you heard of it?"
"Sorry, the hedge fund industry isn't very familiar. ”
"That's right. Parker was a little disappointed, and then exclaimed: "Our company only recruits students from two schools, one is Harvard, and the other is Yale, right?"
"Cow. ”
Zhang Shi came back after the call, his face was full of joy, and he said happily: "I can go back to Huaxia next month." ”
"Mr. Thain called?" Parker was also pleased, and Zhang Shi nodded.
"Congratulations senior, do you want to go back to Huaxia to start a business?"
"Of course I want to start a business, but I can't find the funds yet, and I need time to study in China, and John-Thain, CEO of the New York Stock Exchange, has officially entrusted me to be the first NYSE representative in China, and my younger brother has brought me good luck. Zhang Shi's words were also full of excitement.
At such a young age, he became the first representative of NYSE China, Liu Chen firmly believes that this senior is extraordinary, and within a few years, he will definitely be famous in the field of hedge funds.
This is a talent, Liu Chen moved the mind of digging people, but now it is impossible to win the trust of Zhang Shi, but it seems exaggerated, after all, it is the first time to meet, and a sense of trust has not been established between each other, I can't help but think about it, now I see that the possibility of cooperating with Microsoft is very small, and there is no choice, I can only cooperate with Xuezi, and an idea came out.
"Apple's iPod-Mini has been selling well recently, and the senior knows so much about the financial and securities industries, I wonder what you think of Apple's recent stocks?"
"Oh, Jobs became the owner of Apple, and I can't conclude whether it's good or bad for the time being, so I haven't bought Apple shares, but I'm interested in buying some recently. ”
"What do you say?" Liu Chen said in a tone of seeking advice, his eyes flashed, and he intended to test Zhang Shi's vision and analytical ability.
"Jobs' personality is very repetitive, which is a good fit as a project manager, but as a CEO, I am not optimistic. "In February 1997, Steve Jobs persuaded Apple's CEO, Amelio, to buy his own company, Next-computer, to return to Apple. As a result, in July of that year, he persuaded the board of directors to fire Amelio and become the new interim CEO. ”
Liu Chen disagreed, and said: "Perhaps, he is all for the sake of Apple's development, and it turns out that he has done a great job." ”
"That's not necessarily, the first few years of Steve Jobs' founding of Apple, until the IOP listing, set countless records, who would have thought that what would happen later? His personality is really changeable, in July '97, he was frustrated because of the entanglement with the board of directors, so he sold 1.5 million shares of Apple in his hands, causing the company's stock to plummet, so it was questioned and criticized by the media. ”
"I knew that, and then he yelled at a reporter from the Wall Street Journal, 'Whoever asked me why I was selling stocks, I told him, 'Fuck you.'" Ha ha. ”
Zhang Shi also nodded, "A few months after he took office, Apple is still losing money heavily, and the value of its shares is even lower than the cash on the company's books." At an internal staff meeting, he was asked if Michael-Dell of Dell Computer told the media that Apple should shut down and return the cash to shareholders, and he cursed the media again. ”
Liu Chen thought about the last meeting with Jobs, so it seems that Lao Qiao was really polite to himself, at least he didn't point his nose to his face and scold, of course, he also listened to Zach and said that Lao Qiao was furious when he went out.
In this way, it seems that he is really a person with a changeable temperament, serious emotionality, Zhang Shi's analysis is very accurate, I am afraid that this is why even if Apple launched the iPod and succeeded, the company's stock still did not improve, and the majority of investors still have lingering palpitations about Lao Qiao's character, who knows what he will suddenly go crazy.
"Steve Jobs is still a capable person after taking office, and after taking office, he cut many redundant product lines and launched the iMac with a unique design, the display can be different colors, and the appearance is very new and eye-catching. But for a PC user, my first reaction is that Apple's market share of personal computers is less than 10%, and the trend is long gone, and playing this kind of trick will not change the overall situation at all. ”
Liu Chen was quite strange, this seemed to be different from what he knew, after Jobs re-entered Apple, shouldn't he rise strongly? ”
Zhang Shi was not annoyed, and said, "Oh, by the way, Parker's family lives in Cupertino, what do you think of Apple?"
"Every time Highway 280 passes by Apple's headquarters, you see large portraits of celebrities from around the world, from Albert Einstein to Gandhi, and Apple's advertising slogan, Think-Different," Parker said. As a non-self-absorbed bystander, I didn't have any other ideas than a little bit of fun.
Liu Chen began to feel that his thinking seemed to have entered a misunderstanding. (To be continued.) )
