Chapter 0889: The Tendency of the Richest Man in the Final Stage
Of course, Tang Huan is not the only financier of the quantum fund service, but also one of Italy's top magnates and Fiat President Gianni Agnelli. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was this well-known public figure who was in his late teens who inadvertently lamented to reporters that he had earned more money this year by investing in the Quantum Fund than Fiat, a car company.
Soon after, the Daily Mail of London ran a front-page headline in its October 24 issue with a huge, bold headline title, "Pound Collapses, I Make a Billion Money," accompanied by a picture of George Soros smiling and holding a wine glass.
As a result, the real culprit came into the public eye.
Before this, George Soros was not unknown, but only in the circle, but now it is known to women and children.
There's no way the British can't remember it – George Soros looted the $1 billion that cost every British taxpayer £25, or £12.5 for every British man, woman and child.
In this way, the British will not have to worry about whether they should blame the richest man in Tang for taking advantage of the robbery - Britain did not offend George Soros, but the other party robbed $1 billion for no reason - hatred instantly found an outlet.
George Soros didn't care, he needed prestige to expand his so-called philanthropy in Eastern Europe, so he gave an interview to The Times, confirming that he had earned 1 billion, while emphasizing that the unit was in dollars. and appeared in the newspapers the next day.
In fact, it's not just George Soros who makes a lot of money, it's just that the other big winners are very good at keeping a low profile.
For example, Bruce Kovner of the Caxton Company made $300 million; Paul Tudor Jones of the Jones Investment Company made $250 million; and Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and the Chemical Bank of New York, which have abundant foreign exchange, earned more than $800 million more than their normal quarterly earnings in currency transactions in the third quarter of this year; as for the richest man in Tang, he feasted on it openly or covertly, and at the same time kept himself secret.
It can be said that George Soros was found out, and everyone was happy - most speculators wanted to hide in the shadows and make a fortune in silence, while George Soros was equivalent to being in front and absorbing all the hatred. Anyway, he himself doesn't mind this, it can be said that he is seeking benevolence and wisdom.
"It's so wonderful to have this guy do that so-called 'man who broke the Bank of England', who would have thought that after sniping the pound, we made another $600 million short the Swedish krona. Christina, the female ship king, and Tang Huan huddled together and looked at the report, smiling so much that they couldn't be happier.
Previously, as Finland became the first victim of speculators' assault on European currencies, Sweden was so frightened that it raised interest rates to an exaggerated 75% overnight, and although it escaped for a while, it also put itself on the fire to roast itself - clearly unable to support such high interest rates for long, thus leaving the inevitable opportunity to short.
Sweden understands this, too, and can only find a point in time where it thinks it will have the least losses and return interest rates to the normal range.
Tang Huan has been wandering around Europe all these years, but he has made a lot of good connections and layouts, so he has made another fortune unconsciously.
"It's all quick money, and most stocks, bonds, won't see big real gains until next year. Tang Huan said unsatisfactorily.
"My dear, I suddenly had the idea of buying a big deal again. "Christina is starting to be coquettish.
Tang Huan smiled dumbly and said, "I'm worried about you, what else haven't you bought?" ”
"Then you can help me think about it. "Although she is over forty years old, the female ship king, who is well maintained, initiated the initiation, which really makes the richest man a little unbearable.
Tang Huan quipped: "The year before last, RB went to New York to buy Rockefeller Center with a high toe, but unfortunately now that the economic bubble has burst, it is estimated that it will not last for a few years." You say, when the time comes, how about we take over a few buildings and have fun?"
When Christina heard this, she immediately burst into laughter and said with infinite adoration: "My dear, you are never short of genius ideas!"
When the man and woman were in high spirits, there was a knock on the door, and Jinlong's voice came, "Dad, Mom, can we come in?"
The richest man and the female boat king quickly separated, quickly tidied up their clothes, checked each other again, and then sat down and said, "Come in." ”
As soon as the door opened, Jinlong, Jinfeng, Jincheng and Jinchang, Jinge, Jinming, Jinliang, Jinying, and Jinjie entered, and everyone's expressions looked a little wilted.
Tang Shoufu couldn't help but smile and said: "The voting day of the US election is coming soon, I have to go back to the United States quickly, you can't play here forever, hand over the funds in your hands." By the way, what about the earnings?"
Jin Chang sent a document and reported: "I don't make much, please take a look." ”
Christina teased, "Kid, why is your voice hoarse, is it too stressed?"
Jin Chang explained embarrassedly: "Mother Na, I have now entered the period of voice change. ”
The female ship king glanced at the report and continued to quip: "Oh, when I shorted the French franc, I lost all the other profits at once. Thankfully, I didn't listen to your lobbying and invested extra money. ”
Jinlong took over dissatisfied, "Mom, is it okay for you to call it eccentric." Athena can take a team of nannies and fly on a private jet to the US Open, and we'll tear up some money, and you'll push back. ”
"The son must be poor, and the daughter must be rich. Christina directly took out the parenting scripture she learned from Tang Huan and suppressed her son's resistance, "Are you not convinced?"
Jin Long was quickly defeated, and muttered, "Of course, whatever you say, you can do it." ”
"Although you have an assistant to assist, at your age, it is very valuable to be able to operate it until now. The richest man handed over the document to the female ship king, "I will give you an A grade for your work performance, and I will give you $100,000 as a reward and reward." ”
"It's only $100,000......" Jinge's tone was tinged with disappointment.
"Think about it, what is the annual income of an average middle-class family in the United States?" Tang Huan asked with a smile, "Are you too little?"
"No, no......" Jinge shrank his neck in fright, and denied it repeatedly.
Jin Cheng asked again, "But, 100,000 US dollars, how do we nine brothers divide it?"
"You don't remind, I haven't noticed this math problem yet. Tang Huan made a look of coming to his senses, "That's good, I'll give you $90,000, so that your brother won't be in trouble at that time." ”
Jin Cheng's little face suddenly fell, "Dad, you don't have to worry about it - we can handle it for $100,000." ”
Tang Huan nodded, no longer teasing the crowd, "After you go back, you still have an assignment, that is, to write a experience, in addition to summarizing the investment experience, but also to empathize - if you are the one who is attacked by the hedge fund, how should you deal with it." ”
……
After returning directly to San Francisco, Tang Huan first saw a report sent by a think tank. It evaluated the North_American_Free_Trade_Agreement North American Free~By Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, which was signed on August 12 of this year and entered into force on January 1, 1994.
The North_America_Free_Trade_Area North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA) was officially established under this framework. With a population of 450 million in the United States, Canada and Mexico, a GDP of US$17.3 trillion and a total annual trade volume of US$1.37 trillion, it has surpassed the European Union in terms of economic strength and market size, becoming the world's largest regional economic integration organization.
Needless to say, NAFTA emerged as a result of the acceleration of European economic integration that began in the early 1980s. Of course, RB's aggressive offensive strategy against the US and Canadian markets is also an important reason.
As early as 1980, during Reagan's presidential campaign for the presidency of the United States, he proposed the idea of a "North American common market" that would include the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean countries.
In 1983, Canada responded by proposing the idea of establishing a U.S.-Canada free~by trade area.
By 1985, the United States and Canada began negotiations on the signing of a bilateral free~free trade agreement.
Finally, on June 2, 1988, the U.S.-Canada Trade Agreement was signed and entered into force on January 1 of the following year.
The North American Free~Free Trade Agreement, which was signed not long ago, was a spin-off of the previous U.S.-Canada Free~Free Trade Agreement -- joining Mexico.
Unlike the member states of the European Community, which try to reach an agreement that overrides the governments and laws of each country,
The North American Free~Free Trade Agreement is just an international agreement very similar to a treaty, and Article 1 clearly stipulates that Mexico, Canada, and the United States will formally establish a free ~ free trade area in accordance with the basic principles of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. It was established with the aim of removing trade barriers, creating conditions for fair competition, increasing investment opportunities, providing adequate protection for intellectual property rights, establishing effective procedures for the implementation of agreements and dispute settlement, and promoting trilateral, regional and multilateral cooperation. The three Member States must comply with each other's principles and rules set out in the Agreement, such as national treatment, most-favoured-nation treatment, and procedural transparency, in order to achieve their objectives in order to remove barriers to trade.
Obviously, the "North American Free~By Trade Agreement" is first of all related to the most beneficial point of Tang Shoufu's richest man, that is, intellectual property protection - hardware, including operating systems, office suites, game programs, etc., software, has been a trouble for a long time, and the "North American Free~ Free Trade Agreement" will make Mexico, a strong market, contribute real value.
In addition, the previously established "U.S.-Canada Self~By Trade Agreement" shows Canada's advantage in intellectual cost. Take Metro Vancouver, which has a large number of Chinese immigrants, has many R&D teams in the Tang IT Kingdom, and the largest one may be EA's sports competition game department.
The richest man rarely asks about specific work, but the macro-level impact of the North American Free ~ Trade Agreement belongs to his scope of attention.
Therefore, Tang Huan called John Chambers, Tripp Hawkins and other top executives directly to communicate with him.
"This is really good news. Tripp Hawkins took the lead in speaking straightforwardly: "You know, EA has long suffered from poor copyright protection, and the closed game console platform is better, but the open Fangyuan personal computer platform is simply a hard-hit area, coupled with the sharing convenience brought by the rise of the Internet, almost every newly listed game, within a month, a small crack patch is flowing everywhere." ”
Speaking of this, Tripp Hawkins also shrugged his shoulders at John Chambers, "You always nag at EA, and the Fangyuan personal computer platform should get the same game release time treatment as the Xiaobawang game console platform, so as to stimulate sales, but how can you understand our distress." It is true that the more Xiaobawang game consoles are sold, the greater the profit of EA, but the considerable demand for game software on the larger Fangyuan personal computer platform has not been ignored by us. It's just that this big cake is not so easy to eat. ”
John Chambers laughed, "We already understand you very well, for example, in the form of a free package for the latest model, we have contributed a lot of genuine users to EA." ”
Tang Huan muttered: "Software products such as operating systems, office suites, and professional tools can be tolerated temporarily, after all, in the long run, it can be regarded as attracting and cultivating a wider user group, but entertainment consumer goods such as game programs really can't be left alone." ”
"My suggestion is that EA might as well increase the added value of genuine gaming products, and focus on developing network features, such as LAN battles, which can increase the defensive strength and reduce the effectiveness of cracking. ”
"For cost reasons, these measures can only be tried on the fist product first. Tripp Hawkins hesitated. Gain would like to point out that some games have not only broken their working mechanics, but even their textures have been tampered with. However, after looking at the people in the conference room, he felt that he should find a private occasion to speak.
At this time, the assistant came to report that Senator Al Gore, the vice presidential candidate of the Democratic ~ Main Party, had arrived.
Tang Huan raised his hand to look at the time, and then said to everyone: "This Mr. Congressman who proposed the "High Performance Computing Act of 1991" has a close attitude towards Silicon Valley, and it is estimated that he is here to canvass for votes this time, I will entertain you, you are free." ”
In the final sprint of the US election, Al Gore came to Silicon Valley, of course, to gain more support.
You know, Silicon Valley is now more like a label, in addition to Silicon Valley in Northern California, there are also tech beaches in Southern California, Silicon Hills in Texas, Silicon Forest in Portland, District 128 in Massachusetts, Silicon Alley in New York City, Research Triangle in North Carolina and other technology centers, and Tang's richest man's footprints are all over the place, and anyone who wants to ignore its influence is simply blind.
