Chapter 313: Patience

On his sixth day in New York, George was drinking juice in the lounge area of the gym after a sweaty workout and reading the Wall Street Journal that had just been published today.

There is no era of smart phones, although after a period of adaptation, but still not used to it, after all, a mobile phone in hand, the era of the world is too convenient, for modern urbanites like George, reading, reading newspapers, contacts, securities real-time quotes, futures and stocks trading and even without a wallet, without a credit card, everywhere, any store shopping can use mobile phones to pay, it is really convenient and fast, and do not have to worry about the trouble after the wallet is discarded or stolen.

It's a pity that smartphones are just a pitiful concept now, and even if some companies start to develop them, they will have to wait for eight or nine or even more than ten years.

This is a very long time, and if you can have several decades in your life, and to waste one decade is to murder your own life.

It's just that in this era when the Internet is just emerging, it is undoubtedly a struggle to cross the river by feeling the stones to further develop intelligence, and the difficulties and pains are indescribable.

Even if the smartphone has been successfully developed now, it is still not very useful, and the market does not have the factors to promote it immediately and maximize profits.

But now that there is no smartphone, it is a new experience for George, and at the same time there is a sense of satisfaction that exists only in the memory of a long absence.

Every scientific and technological revolution means countless opportunities and countless innovations, just like revolutions, overthrowing the existing system and building on it a new system that is different from the previous ones that can be accepted by the masses.

For example, the current Amazon and Yidao, and even Ali, who rose strongly on the corpses of the "martyrs" a few years later, especially Ali, completely subverted the existing traditional economic model when creating a new economic model.

The traditional economy, which has been running for thousands of years, has experienced a stormy baptism, and the survival of the fittest is the most suitable sentence for this era.

Looking at the newspapers on the major investment banks on Wall Street, the economic analysts of the banks and the big bulls are constantly talking, and the cliché that the Nasdaq, which is dominated by emerging technology, is just adjusting itself, so that everyone should not panic, do not follow the crowd, and carry out a herd mentality.

At the same time, the words of the "stock god" Buffett were brought out, and the words of people retreating and I entered, and people retreated to explain, calling on many shareholders to buy the bottom, so that after the market adjustment is completed, it will definitely rise sharply and bring rich returns to stock holders.

George scoffed at what they said, if it weren't for their behind-the-scenes propulsion, which gave birth to this phenomenon in the shortest possible time, pulling out the seedlings and fueling it, how could the Internet high-tech, which should have been in its infancy and being carefully cared for, experience the rise, growth, madness and even the current decline or low tide in just a few years.

I wanted ordinary shareholders to be the receivers, and after taking over the situation of three stays and one or even one hundred stays after studying the news they got through various channels, I was almost calm in a panic.

Isn't this a kind of irony, it's you who say it's bad, and it's you who say it's good, isn't it a little too fast to slap your face?

Looking at these pointless reports, at the top of the second page, a reporter detailed how at a time when the Internet crisis erupted, Warner still insisted on the merger with AOL that had already been agreed, except that the agreement that was already dominated by AOL became Warner-led.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on George's face.

"Heaven-sent opportunity" is George's tone for AOL's merger with Warner.

If done well, it is also the moment when George gets involved in TV, film, music and all-round media, as long as this goal is achieved, George will be truly invincible.

This is a very large plan, and if he simply wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make money, George can do a large-scale Zhengda short on the day of their merger, and let them know who is hitting their attention.

But George is not ready to do this, even if he does it, he will do it in a scattered manner, otherwise once he does it in a bright and bright way, it means that George has formed a mortal enmity with them, and if he does too much and hurts their vitality, he will completely break with the Democratic Party in a certain aspect, after all, Warner Group is their main sounding board.

Every news item related to the Democratic Party published from Warner's television stations and newspapers, like the state media, has greatly damaged its vitality and lost its influence, which is not a very good thing for the Democratic Party.

If you want to get your hands on it, George will need to make a lot of preparations from now on, and start tackling it in the shadows until the time comes, the moment to make a move.

Fortunately, George, as the son of Smith, is naturally their person to the Democrats, unless he openly enters the Republican Party, but obviously this is impossible, this does not do him any good, those arms dealers and war maniacs will not care about a junior like George, even if George wants to do this, the Watt family will not agree.

A betrayal involves too many things, no one will have no brains to do this kind of thing that hurts others and is not beneficial to themselves, and George will not either.

This matter needs to be planned slowly, and it is not an overnight thing, but fortunately, there are still a few years before the merger and the spin-off of AOL, which is enough for him to plan.

After reading the newspaper casually, he was about to get up and leave and return to the apartment, when the mobile phone in his hand rang at the right time.

Looking at the phone number on the cold light screen, the corners of George's mouth curled slightly.

Okar still can't hold his breath after all, this loan is actually a temptation, George knows, Okar knows, and even Sandywell knows the same, but George, as the first person to bow his head and propose cooperation, they think they can take care of it.

Unfortunately, they were in the wrong place, and two days after meeting with Okar, George released the news on Wall Street that he wanted to make a short-term loan with his short position.

Bank of America was the first person to visit him as soon as he received the news.

No one can ignore the existence of that position, although George has not yet delivered, but the expected profit in combination with the current market situation, as long as the person will understand, this is a profitable business.

So, George met with Vice President Stien of Bank of America at the Hilton Hotel on Wall Street, believing that the news would soon reach Okar's ears.

The first meeting was very pleasant, and if it weren't for George's willingness to cooperate with Citigroup and not very interested in this American-named bank founded by Italians, maybe the two sides would have signed a contract at the first time.

I originally thought that Citi would contact me as soon as possible, but what I didn't expect was that Okar just called a greeting phone as usual, and there was no movement.

Since the other party does not contact him, there is no need for George to fall on a tree, and although Citi is a good partner to some extent, it does not have to be.

Wall Street is very big, there are many powerful banks, investment banks and institutions, it is not necessary to have it, if there is no news in the future, he is ready to reach an agreement with Bank of America.

Time was pressing, George didn't have that much time to calm down and play a game of cat and mouse with Citi, and just as he was about to make a move, he didn't expect Okar to call again, and it seemed that the outcome of their discussion was out.
