Chapter 265: Preparing to invest in Japan
In late November, London's weather was already cold and wet, and when it was cold again, there were showers of snow falling from the sky, and even the town of Windsor, which was just a stone's throw away, was covered in snow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Eton College is no exception, and when the bell rings, flocks of white geese take to the skies from the roof of the church. Groups of young students in black tuxedos haunt the many buildings, making it feel like a return to the pure medieval era.
"Fly, fly~"
Alice, who was standing in the clearing, said to the snow-white owl on her arm.
"Goo-goo?"
However, the owl did not cooperate with her, and still stood honestly on Alice's arm, letting the snowflakes fall on each other.
Alice's face suddenly appeared black: "You are flying." ”
The owl tilted his head: "Goo?"
"You can't fly, can you!?"
"Goo, flutter ridge~"
The owl did fly, but instead of soaring through the sky like Eleven-year-old Harry Potter's Hedwig, it landed directly onto a nearby flower bed.
"Bastard, how can you be so faceless!?"
"Because your character has been exhausted. ”
Sissi giggled, and she sat next to the flower bed, wearing a thick sweater in her school uniform and a beautiful scarf around her neck. At this moment, she reached out and touched the owl's head, looking at Alice's embarrassed appearance, not to mention how happy.
Failure is failure, and Alice either envies the Harry Potter kid much, or sees that the surrounding environment is too similar to Hogwarts in winter, so she borrowed an owl from a certain senior sister to play. After all, the most beautiful scene in the entire "Philosopher's Stone" movie is the moment when the little glasses let Hedwig fly.
It's a pity that I will be disabled in the future.
At this moment, I saw Sissi blowing her hands without gloves, then rubbing them, blinking her slender eyelashes, and said to Alice: "I said Ellie, do you have any plans for the winter vacation?"
"Winter vacation...... There's so much you can do. ”
Alice sat down in the flower bed, the snow had already been swept away by them, and as she watched seven or eight thirteen or fourteen-year-old juniors pass by, she pondered and said, "There's nothing to worry about at work." Cisco, switches are selling well, and a new generation of routers can be launched at any time, depending on whether Lucent is powerful. Microsoft doesn't care, your dad doesn't have anything there, Blackwater International is still building a training base......"
Alice muttered this, but Sissi was by her side after all, and there were some things that she couldn't mention, such as the work at Black Reef.
After a period of adaptation for more than half a year, Ducky has started his own smuggling business in a grand way.
He didn't know how to use it, but he had a deep friendship with the helm of the Xiangjiang Triad in Roanapura, Thailand, and began to transport all kinds of "goods" to their helmsman brother. Of course, there are some extreme things that Ducky will definitely not do without being reminded by Alice, such as human trafficking, but if it is ordinary smuggling, according to him, it will occasionally be involved.
Alice knew that Ducky must be a smart person, and someone with low emotional intelligence could not do this kind of work, so she knew that this old comrade-in-arms of Uncle Acaman must have guessed his own psychology.
A genius girl who is not bad at all and has developed by relying on real business suddenly sends someone to do smuggling business, will she just be greedy for that bit of cash flow?
Alice, of course, wasn't sure how much Dudge could guess, what exactly to guess, and when it came to cash flow, there really was this element. For most of the past six months, Ducky has brought Alice a cash income of 7 million yuan with just one person and a missile torpedo boat!
This is the beginning of the business, and it is a one-person-one-ship configuration, and the seven million yuan not only replenishes Alice's investment, but also makes her total assets skyrocket by at least two million dollars in cash. And its actual operating costs are just Daqi driving a speedboat around the country, throwing someone's own safety at risk, this income is really too easy!
Of course, of course, what Daqi will transport is not "low-level goods" such as undeclared mobile phones, nor is it just "just drugs". As a person who was instructed by Alice to work in Roanapura, an occasion where **** battles are everywhere, there are too many things that can be transported.
For example, if you arrest the traitors of the triad and bring them back, one sum is 300,000.
Well, as for what happens to this traitor, neither Ducky nor Alice cares.
Therefore, this naturally involves Alice's second purpose, and she guesses that Daqi can also realize this level.
That is, from the **** level, there is a better control of the global situation.
For example, the triad she encountered earlier in Greater Shanghai, Alice now basically understands its organizational branch and main business.
The triad originated hundreds of years ago as the Heaven and Earth Society, and the actual source has long since died out. Nowadays, it has a special feature in its organizational structure, that is, it was established on the basis of overseas Chinese around the world, and it is born with the nature of "rudder all over the world, brothers all over the world".
Judging from the roots of formation, whether it is the United States, the United Kingdom, France, or even the islands of Southeast Asia, Chinese everywhere must have their own gangs. And the reformation of the entire triad is nothing more than the existence of such an alliance nature.
Well, it's similar to the pirate alliance in Pirates of the Caribbean, no one obeys anyone, it's just forced by external factors to gather together.
Of course, such an organization would not make human trafficking its main business, but it would be easy to get involved in drugs, smuggle, and control a bunch of casinos, nightclubs, and Lichun Courtyard. Just as a large part of the Yamaguchi-gumi's money comes from Kabukicho, it can't be too evil on a macro level, otherwise the image is too bad.
Alice is still unsure of the use of such a channel, but it is better to have it than not to know, there is no doubt about it. At the very least, she now knows the addresses of the Los Angeles branch and the San Francisco branch of the Triad, maybe she can go back to the door?
"Well, what are you busy with during the winter vacation......"
In her mind, she made a judgment on the current business of Black Reef, and in the face of the question that Sissi was raising now, after thinking about it carefully, Alice hammered her palm: "I don't know either!"
"You can die. ”
Seeing that she had asked such a result, Sissi pursed her lips very dissatisfied, but then, I don't know what she thought, or whether she was blown by the cold air, her pretty face was somewhat red.
"Now, I said. ”
She leaned towards Alice, but she was not intimate enough to make people suspicious, just like a normal good friend: "Or we ...... Going to Japan for winter vacation?"
Alice put her arm around Sissi's waist: "What do you say?"
"Look, three days ago, didn't the editor of Kodansha hang up on you again? ”
"Yamamoto, uh-huh, and then?"
"Since you've been talking about investing in Japan lately, and that copy of "After School" is about to be released, it makes sense that you should go to Japan for a walk, right? Not to mention that you haven't seen the editors at Kodansha, and you've saved a lot of money in the past six months, so since you want to spend it all, can you not see the investment projects in person?"
"Well, that's right. ”
Alice touched her chin.
Japan's post-Plaza financial bubble was a great opportunity to make money, and she certainly felt deeply about it. For example, the most obvious real estate, from last year to this year, the price has risen by more than half, and this is only the end of 86, and there is still a long time before the last 91 years, it is simply a direct train to heaven!
Of course, considering that it will fall at least twice subsequently, this is also a hell through train.
But as long as you grasp it well, it will not be a problem to withdraw the head of funds in 91.
Well, withdraw and wait for the price to plummet before buying it back......
And then it's all your own......
For such a feast that can at least double her assets, as early as March, when Microsoft went public, Alice began to save money.
First of all, the largest share is naturally Microsoft's dividends since its listing. The company, which raised $60 million on the day of its listing, has brought Alice a total of $70 million in cash as of November. Of course, Gates, as the largest shareholder, must be a little more than that, dozens of times earlier than his goal of "becoming a millionaire at the age of 30".
Although Cisco has not yet been listed, the profit margin of the commodity is too high, and the Intel processors that are being offered, coupled with the extremely cheap basic hardware materials, if you want to say what is the largest proportion of the cost, it is nothing more than the wages of those programmers.
A router with a unit price of 2,000 yuan can have a net profit of at least 1,500 yuan, and a switch with a unit price of 4,000 yuan can also have a net profit of more than $3,000. Therefore, it is no wonder that Cisco in the official history launched its first product in only three or two years, and it was able to start going public with an annual profit of more than 60 million capital.
It's really because this industry is really too profitable. Although Alice is not sure how the original Cisco is priced, the so-called selling price has nothing to do with the cost, as long as her 2,000 yuan and 4,000 yuan can be recognized by the market, then this price.
Therefore, although Cisco is still an unlisted company, its position as a leader in the industry and the status of the largest merchant in the country still brought Alice the same cash accumulation of up to 50 million US dollars!
This is all the amount left after throwing out the various investments in "Alien II", as well as the investments in many industries such as Blackwater International and Black Reef Trade.
In this way, Alice put on a posture of looking at the sky, and smirked: "More than 100 million, speaking of which, Sissi, don't you think Fortune magazine can interview me about this?"
Sissi snorted noncommittally: "Look at you for beauty." (To be continued.) )
