Chapter 436, Alice's new round of measures is a mystery
In late August 1988, many people were paying attention to a news that attracted worldwide attention, and the eight-year-long Iran-Iraq war finally came to an end. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoNone of the real victors in this veritable marathon battle, both countries have exhausted their own resources for the sake of war, and economic development plans have been postponed for at least twenty to thirty years.
Naturally, Western countries have long been looking forward to the end of this war, and perhaps a small number of arms dealers can make profits from it, but from the perspective of the overall international situation, the sharp rise in oil prices will affect the development of the global comprehensive field. Therefore, when the armistice agreement was finally reached, a large number of people in many European and American countries immediately poured into the streets to celebrate the recovery of their own oil prices.
When the war ended, oil prices picked up, and the stocks of oil and gas companies naturally rose. Wall Street is boiling over as a flood of orders is pouring into investment institutions, and although the clarion call for the end of the war was sounded during a "Ramadan operation" a few months ago, for most people, it is still the time to buy.
However, it was at this time that a huge stream of funds was withdrawn downstream, which was the best time to invest, but the shareholders did not hesitate to take out all the money. The total amount of $457 million in cash topped the list of many individual stocks that day, and for a while, many stockbrokers were shocked after checking the relevant information.
Who actually withdrew all the money during this best period of investing in oil stocks?
The momentary doubts were followed by a continuous investigation, and soon, the results came out.
It's Alice Wang.
In the "87 stock market crash", this girl who skillfully used market rules to maximize her short selling for profit, obviously saw the fluctuations in the rise of oil stocks on various exchanges before and after the end of the Iran-Iraq war. JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, two large banks that offer VIP clients, immediately launched regular investigations into their assets.
Facts have proved that as early as April 1 this year, Alice Wang invested $280 million in various oil companies around the world through two banks, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup. Of course, this is not a small amount of money, but for her, who received more than one billion yuan in the "87 stock market crash", it is not too exaggerated and eye-catching to take out such a sum of money and throw it at many companies in batches.
The total investment of $280 million rose by about a tenth of what happened after the Ramadan operation launched by the Iraqi army on 16 April. The recapture of the Franco-Austrian region, which had been occupied by Iran for two years, has indeed led to a much warmer recovery in the price of oil, which is what began at this time.
Therefore, when the armistice agreement is finally concluded, it is not surprising that this amount of money can rise to as much as 320 million. But that doesn't spare those who pay attention, and while Alice Wong has apparently earned almost half of her earnings over the past six months, it's time for a big rally.
However, there is still a time difference of three or five days before and after, and it is the violent increase in this period of time that makes this total fund soar to the threshold of 400 million like a roller coaster. However, this whole increase will definitely continue for a while, and what will she do if she ignores the earnings after giving it up?
News appears endlessly, one by one into a timeline, and most people simply don't have the ability to distinguish so clearly. However, as investment brokers in the financial industry and reporters and editors of large newspapers and media, of course, they still have a high degree of professional sensitivity to such things, and can quickly sort out enough information from them.
In early August, Cisco cooperated with Lucent Technology, the industry's oldest company, to finally launch an optical module.
Because this is no longer a router, switch or even a firewall, this kind of commodity that can be directly purchased and used by countless individual enterprises and even individual users is a very basic field of spare parts. When the joint press conference of Cisco & Lucent was held, magazines such as "Popular Electronics" and "Silicon Valley" Weekly immediately started to popularize knowledge.
To put it simply, the function of the optical module is photoelectric conversion, the transmitter converts the electrical signal into an optical signal, and after transmission through the optical fiber, the receiver converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is an important device in the optical fiber communication system. It is composed of optoelectronic devices, functional circuits and optical interfaces, and optoelectronic devices include two parts: transmitting and receiving.
The working principle of the emitting part is that the electrical signal of a certain bit rate is processed by the internal driver chip, and then drives the semiconductor laser or light-emitting diode to emit a modulated optical signal of the corresponding rate, and it is equipped with an automatic optical power control circuit to keep the output optical signal power stable.
The working principle of the receiving part is that after the optical signal of a certain bit rate is input into the module, the optical detection diode is converted into an electrical signal, and then the electrical signal of the corresponding bit rate is output after the preamplifier.
The current issue of "Popular Electronics" magazine, written by a rookie reporter named Zoe Barnes, not only introduced in detail the specific principles and functions of optical modules, but also elaborated on its specific application fields in more detail.
Obviously, the most effective way for this product to exert heat is the laying of the infrastructure of an entire fiber optic network.
In 1966, Charles Kao, a British-Chinese born in Shanghai, China, published a paper "Optical Frequency Dielectric Fiber Surface Waveguide", which first proposed the concept of optical fiber network. Then, in 1970, a fiber with a loss of 20 dB/km was developed, and it is said that Corning spent $30 million on a 30-meter fiber sample, which was well worth it. At the same time, this breakthrough has also caused a shock in the entire communications community, and the developed countries of the world have begun to invest huge efforts in the study of optical fiber communications.
Therefore, when the world's major telecom companies are widely laying coaxial cables, the optical fiber network, a relatively late product, has not missed the wave of global network infrastructure. Of course, even at the end of the '80s, no one knows what the '90s would have been like, but compared to the poor coverage of the ARPA.com when it first appeared, the changes today can be described as overwhelming.
Undoubtedly, this product is the basic spare parts developed by the two companies for optical fiber networks, and ordinary people do not need it at all, unless he plans to build his own optical fiber network. But for AT&T and British Telecom, this is simply a most wonderful treasure, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a bulk cargo in the IT technology industry, and it is easy to get tens of millions of orders!
So, that's the wonder of stock trading. Ordinary shareholders will not buy any optical modules at all, and even for many people, a whole Cisco product is not needed, but this does not affect their ecstasy about Cisco's new progress, because the stock price is going to rise~
But the topic returns to the main line, even if Cisco launches optical module products, it can earn tens of millions of yuan in profits from major telecom operators every year, and what does this have to do with Alice Wang's anxious withdrawal from the oil market?
With more than $400 million in cash, it is obvious that this girl has a big move, and the income that this action can bring her is definitely higher than the amount of money brought by the rise in stock prices.
The girl had not broken the law, and the people at the bank had no right to track the flow of her funds, so if they wanted to know her true purpose, the managers and media reporters had to follow the clues of other news and grope step by step.
If you want to talk about clues, there are actually a lot of clues, because I don't know if I don't know, and I was shocked when I checked, and many bank managers were surprised to find that before they knew it, three or two years, Alice-Wang actually stretched her tentacles so far.
Rumor has it that around August 12, a Washington Post reporter saw her near the Lockheed building in Maryland. If you want to talk about the research and development of the avionics system of military aircraft, maybe it can really have something to do with Alice Wang, who was born in Silicon Valley, but unfortunately the reporter pressed the camera shutter and found that he didn't know how, his film was inexplicably exposed.
It is also reported that Mr. Li Ka-shing, chairman of the board of directors of Hong Kong's Cheung Kong Group, once again explained to the media his new round of investment behavior. Los Angeles is a city with a lot of overseas Chinese, and if a pharmaceutical factory can be built there, he believes that there will definitely be excellent market prospects. However, he has not yet given a positive answer to the plan for the development of new drugs, only saying that he will establish a medical research institute in the UK with young Alice, but did not disclose specific details.
Of course, another piece of old news was once again picked up by the Los Angeles Times because of the refresh of the content. The construction of the Alice Building, which has a total metric size of 528 meters, is under construction, but when the foundation of the seven basement floors has just been laid, the change in the final height of the building has come out again. is no longer 500, the height of a full 632 meters not only refreshed the skyscraper height record again, but also completely broke through to 600, this shocking number!
Could this be why Alice Wang is in a hurry to withdraw funds?
The managers guessed that a 600-meter-level skyscraper like this could not be built just by piling up materials. Although according to sources, the blueprint of this building was completely drawn by the genius girl herself, and was supported by her own architectural design institute, which can save a lot of money, but it can only save a part of the money.
You know, the price of building materials can't be used to weigh the beams. Don't look at the stone buildings of the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center, just look at the price of materials, those stones are not worth much. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a house built in the thirties.
But according to the Los Angeles Times, the 600-meter-high skyscraper is to be covered with a glass curtain wall.
