It would be impossible to say that the leaders of the country's major affected countries have not cared about their stock markets for an entire month. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The sharp decline in the info stock market will first lead to a nationwide shortage of money for companies in all walks of life, people will lose their savings, and corporate accounts will lose huge amounts of money. Business difficulties naturally lead to a wave of layoffs, which in turn leads to a large increase in the number of unemployed, increased pressure on the social welfare system, and then the situation quickly rushes all the way to a worse point.

At this time, if there is a short seller, it will definitely attract extreme disgust from the Securities Regulatory Commission, so any country with a mature market will set up many regulations to restrict short selling, or stabilize the market by various other means. For example, in China's stock market, although it does not impose more restrictions on short selling, and even does not stipulate the process of "selling stocks before short selling, and then buying", it has set a limit for the rise and fall of a single day.

But to be honest, 1.5 billion isn't really a big number.

Because it's the return on her investment around the world.

After this whole set of disasters, the loss of the U.S. stock market is about 500 billion, which is equivalent to France's annual GDP, if Alice has obtained more than 100 billion yuan from here in the past four weeks, it should have attracted the attention of the Federal Reserve a long time ago, and the FBI must have been staring at her for violating market rules, in order to arrest her quickly.

Of course, the smart girl understands this truth, so when she bought stocks sporadically more than a year ago, she searched for stocks around the world, and then set her sights on some code that would skyrocket and plummet. Although it is not yet the 21st century, there are only three or two unicorns in Silicon Valley, and there are many hundreds of billions of bulls in the stock market to show their presence, but it is not how many waves can be stirred up by just 1.5 billion.

However, this is considered from the perspective of the whole world under the premise of the best situation.

In practical terms, when Alice holds tens of millions of funds and shorts a lot of money from companies such as BP, many experts in the financial industry will definitely want to fry the pot. Moreover, the big capitalists who have been cashed out will certainly not be honest, and will inevitably communicate with the nobles of the House of Lords who are also in the same social class. It is not surprising that a mere sentence was finally stabbed to the queen.

Then, naturally, a difficult problem was placed in front of Elizabeth II.

First of all, Alice did not violate the rules of the market. When you buy, it falls, when you sell, it rises, and there are countless more than money flowing in the London Stock Exchange every day around the world, and the profit of more than a billion is not a big deal in terms of the total amount.

But this is, after all, earned by one person.

When such a genius is sent to a politician, any person with a normal IQ will choose to woo rather than be stupidly embarrassed.

"Before meeting you today, Alice, I have learned your situation very carefully. ”

Her Majesty said: "You seem to be very interested in investing, although there are many companies under your umbrella, but the only ones that have really been established are Cisco Systems and that apparel company in China. In other companies, you either find a way to buy shares, or acquire them directly, which is an investment behavior. ”

"So I'm curious, since you've been studying and living in the UK for a year, and you haven't missed the opportunity to arbitrage from the stock market, have you never considered investing in the country?"

It's like throwing pieces of pie directly in front of her, which has to make Alice cheer up 120,000 points.

What does this mean, Queen?

Is it to personally go out to attract investment?

Makes sense, Alice thought. Don't look at her profits from the London stock market, but if she really invests in large domestic enterprises, or even directly sets up branches overseas, or simply builds factories in other countries to promote employment, the long-term benefits are too amazing.

Yes, it must be this kind of reason, you took ten dollars from my pocket, and I asked you to pay me back a hundred yuan slowly in ten days.

"Great idea!"

After figuring it out in an instant, Alice grinned: "Britain is a century-old industrial power, so how about it, Your Majesty, I will invest in British Telecom in the near future...... You see how 50 million dollars are. Anyway, my Cisco is also engaged in Internet hardware, and if we can get a cooperative relationship with this company, I believe it will be very beneficial to both of us, right?"

It's actually a bit funny, a businessman who is just a teenage girl talks about the benefits of business cooperation to the top of the political arena with the attitude of business cooperation. However, when Elizabeth laughed softly, there was no hint of contempt.

"Cisco's name, I've heard it a lot in recent months. ”

The queen is not young, but her body is still strong, and she does not tremble at all when she pours tea: "Since the invention of 'Aniak', the productivity of the past few decades has been completely driven by computers. Although your Internet hardware industry only started with your Cisco, but it has only been a few years of hard work, it seems that the market is very huge, right? Don't blame it for its IPO, not only the "Wall Street Journal" has repeatedly commented, but even the "Daily Mail" has repeatedly published, the listing of the founder of the industry can't help but attract the attention of people in the financial world, you say?"

Alice grunted and drank the whole cup of tea, and then she squirmed her throat violently, as if she was desperately swallowing some difficult object: "I said Your Majesty, did you know these things when you investigated me, or did you already know about them?"

Say the name of humanity's first computer, Ainiak!

Clearly and clearly explain Cisco's market position in one word!

To be honest, seeing Elizabeth II, Alice naturally thinks of her grandmother, and even all her loved ones from the previous life. Although she knew that the identities of the Queen of England and her grandmother were of course very different, it was really strange to see an old grandmother who was over the age of sixteen and actually said these "new things".

"You mean the order? It's hard to say, day by day, I don't have this kind of thing in order. ”

The queen jumped away from the topic in a few words and said, "So, BT, you want to take a stake in it?"

Alice nodded slowly.

This nod is sincere, even if there is no strong question from the queen at this time, when she is free in the future, it is possible for her to throw a sum of money at this company.

Because first of all, as she just said to the Queen, for Cisco, of course, there are many benefits to having a relationship with a telecommunications company. And if Alice is a shareholder of British Telecom, it is equivalent to directly opening up the overseas market, why not?

British Telecom was originally the British state-run telecommunications utility, managed by the British General Post, and on October 1, 1981, it was separated from the British Royal Mail and became an independent national enterprise. But later, under the leadership of British Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, it began to sell up to 50% of its public shares to the market in 1984 and became a private company.

Because of this background, the company has been the largest operator of telecommunications infrastructure hardware in the UK, with offices or offices in 170 countries around the world, and overseas offices account for a third of the group's total turnover.

Getting Cisco and telcos into a relationship is something that will happen sooner or later over time, but Alice is reluctant to take a stake in several American companies such as AT&T. Making big news at home will attract too much attention, but if you look far away to the UK to take a stake, the shock will be much smaller.

Anyway, for Cisco at this time, from a technical point of view, there is no difference between BT and AT&T at all, and it doesn't matter to Alice. Furthermore, since it has now begun to develop basic equipment such as network card modules with Lucent, wouldn't it be wonderful to set up a R&D center or something in the United Kingdom, where there is a strong academic atmosphere?

"Good idea, but it's only 50 million. ”

However, after receiving Alice's affirmative answer, the queen was still not satisfied, and continued: "The scale of British Telecom is very large, and your 50 million is afraid that you can only buy one thousandth, so why not add more money, for example...... Hehe, 500 million?"

500 million, I really dare to say it.

Alice is ashamed, but more importantly, she is ashamed of herself. In the face of a company with a market value of tens of billions, in the face of a figure of the level of the Queen of England who said that he wanted to buy shares, and then only threw out a "measant" 50 million US dollars, there is really no more price than this.

Yes, Alice immediately thought of the question, and of course the queen knew what she was worth at the moment.

Not long ago, Fortune magazine has conducted a second interview with her, as the main source of funds, Microsoft's second largest shareholder does have a lot of assets, but it is far from being able to talk to the Queen face-to-face about business. So, she specially sent a housekeeper to invite herself to Windsor Castle today, can it really only be for the expected investment of tens of millions of dollars?

"I have a daughter named Anne......"

Sure enough, I saw that the queen set off a new topic: "Her only daughter, that is, my granddaughter Zara, is just six years old this year, and it is the time to enter primary school." Now that Eton is able to admit girls, I had hoped that she would be able to spend her secondary school career here, but the kid seems to have found his love early. ”

The more it sounded, the more strange it became, and with the Queen's smile, Alice's guess came true in an instant.

"Kid, would you be interested in being my granddaughter's computer tutor?" )
