The richest man smiled and admired the warm reception of the US official delegation to visit the United States, and sat with a sneer while waiting for a new round of anti-Zheru software monopoly forces to come to his door, and did not forget to pay attention to the dynamics of the financial market at all times. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

October is definitely a good time to harvest in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere, but financial markets are not in a good mood.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the memorable "Black Monday" and coincides with the rapid spread of the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia, which has made investors anxious – even in the United States, where the song and dance is leveling, there is inevitably some restlessness.

Fortunately, instead of becoming the terrifying "black" of a decade ago, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow Jones Industrial Average), which fell 210 points for a week, rebounded by 74 points on the same day.

Dead friends don't die poor - Wall Street suddenly breathed a sigh of relief; On the other hand, Asia is full of crises and turbulent undercurrents.

After entering the second half of October, the battle between the international speculators who were shorting the Hong Kong dollar, Hong Kong stocks and futures index at the same time, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, which was fully committed to maintaining the stability of the linked exchange rate system, entered a white-hot stage.

There is no doubt about the strength of Heung Kong itself, with more than $80 billion in "ammunition" in the hardest indicator - foreign exchange reserves.

Specifically, the concept of this figure is 7 times that of Heung Kong's M1, i.e. "fiat money held by the public" plus "demand deposits of licensed bank customers". By contrast, Siam, Southeast Asia's second-largest economy after Indonesia, has foreign exchange reserves of only $30 billion.

In the previous tentative confrontation, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority used US$1 billion.

Also on October 20, it formed a strong contrast with the small rebound of the U.S. stock market - the Xiangjiang stock market fell; October 21 - continued, lost 765.33 points, October 22 - continued, lost more 1200 points; On October 23, it intensified, with a decline of 10.41%.

On October 24, the last trading day of the week, under the frequent briefings of financial executives such as Tsang ~Yin ~ Quan, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Ren Zhigang, President of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the Hong Kong stock market finally rebounded strongly, and the Hang Seng Index rose by 718 points, an increase of 6.89%.

It is a bit of a pity that the Hang Seng Index, which broke through the 16,000-point mark for the first time at the end of July this year, can only barely hover above 10,000 points at this time.

However, this confrontation cannot stop there, and the impact has spread to a global scale.

On the following Monday, October 27, the US stock market, which had fortunately escaped the curse of "Black Monday", played a heartbeat - the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted by 554.26 points, surpassing the 508 points of "Black Monday" 10 years ago, and even the New York Stock Exchange triggered the "circuit breaker" mechanism.

Annoyed by the antitrust lawsuit, the richest man in Zheru Software Company is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and after seeing this scene, he can't help but laugh secretly - Murphy's law that "when the bread falls to the ground, it is always the side that is smeared with cream" is really fair, and Wall Street, which has never forgotten "Black Monday" before, should be "satisfied" now.

Fortunately, as observers have analyzed, the crash of the US stock market on October 27 can "calm down" the "overheated" market - the next day, on October 28, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by a record 337.17 points, or 4.71%, to the final close of the day at 7498.32 points, and the daily trading volume of the New York Stock Exchange reached 1 billion shares for the first time in history.

Tang Huan, who was in the game, really felt that this so-called "cooling" made the US stock market, which was immersed in the Internet bubble, go crazy even more justifiably - after the pullback, of course, it will rise sharply!

As an example, the shares of MCI, which provides Internet lines, are more valuable.

If Mr. the richest man was still very embarrassed about this irrationality before, then now he is indifferent - the sword of Damocles of anti-monopoly, if it really dares to fall on the head of Zheru Software Company, then what if everyone will be destroyed together!

On October 28, the Hang Seng Index plummeted by 1,438.31 points, and the loss also exceeded that of "Black Monday" ten years ago. On October 29, the Hang Seng Index rose 1,705.41 points, or 18.82%, and finally closed at 10,765.3 points.

This change means that the war between international speculators and the Xiangjiang Monetary Authority has come to an end temporarily, and the former, seeing that the stalemate is still in a stalemate, continues to move north, targeting South Korea, the boss of the "Asian Tigers", and the Tang family's funds, which were temporarily dormant in Xiangjiang, can join the ranks of the attackers again.

The richest man has nothing to be ashamed of - if you don't earn it, you won't earn it for nothing! If you don't take it, others won't be polite!

After all, the Hong Kong stock market has been tossed enough, and the Qinhe, Qinhe Infrastructure, Dairy Farm International, Mandarin Hotel, Heung Kong Electric, Heung Kong Telecom, and Qinhe Technology, which occupy positions among the constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Index, have suffered losses along with them - since there is an opportunity to get it back now, of course, it cannot be missed.

It has to be said that this is an advantage of being backed by Mr. the richest man. In contrast, the local Chinese businessmen represented by Li Bancheng and the red chips represented by the Rong family, although they also suffered heavy losses, they could not be like the Qinhe family, with big bosses outside Xiangjiang, at a higher level, strategically replenishing blood.

As for the life and death of South Korea, Tang Huan doesn't need to worry about it, people have long confidently said that they can defend against the attacks of international speculators, and the result, then we'll see!

……

When the Chinese head of state arrived in Washington, U.S. President Bill Clinton did not greet him, but Vice President Al Gore, not Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, as expected, went to the airport — the highest level that can be achieved at this stage.

The welcome ceremony held on the South Lawn of the White House was further grand, lasting more than one hour and with a scale of more than 3,000 people; At the state banquet in the evening, it was difficult to find a ticket.

The reason is simple, the guest reception capacity of the event is quite limited, and there are too many American business people who want to use this occasion to open up the Chinese market, but not to mention the heads of large enterprises such as AT&T, General Electric, etc., there are a lot of CEOs under the command of Tang Huan Industrial Kingdom.

In short, the visit of the Chinese delegation to the United States in Washington was quite successful.

……

At the next stop, the Chinese head of state came to Philadelphia and made a special trip home to visit Gu Yuxiu, who has a friendship between teachers and students.

This 95-year-old gentleman is a well-known educator, scientist, poet, dramatist, musician, and Zen scholar.

In particular, Gu Yuxiu, who has traveled around the world, has met many Chinese and foreign celebrities, spanning military and political, education, science, literature and art, religion and other fields, and many of them have deep friendships - Gu Yuxiu's former residence in China's Wu~Xi displays most of the group photos; And he himself has a large number of celebrity letters, shoehorns, ink treasures, gift paintings, etc., which is simply a living fossil of Chinese history in this century.

For example, China's current head of state is Gu Yuxiu's student when he was teaching calculus at Jiaotong University; The current prime minister is his student at Qing~Hua~ University; At this time, on the wall of the living room, there is an inscription written by the Chinese head of state - "Emphasize education and respect for teachers, new earth and heaven, and study hard to remember the Chinese year." The differential calculation is incomparable, and the old age is restored. ”

Gu Yuxiu now lives in a high-rise building in downtown Philadelphia, with a two-bedroom room full of books and periodicals, making it seem very small. However, this does not affect the Chinese head of state and this old man to talk freely about the feelings of mentorship and friendship, and discuss the affairs of the world together. And Gu Yuxiu's wife, Wang Wanqing, also cooked lotus seed white fungus soup in person - the scene is quite warm, reflecting the unique respect for teachers and family affection of the Chinese.

……

The Chinese delegation continued north to New York, the world's most important financial center and business hub. The TV series "North (River Crab) Beijing People in New York", which was released in Chinese mainland a few years ago, reflects to some extent what a large proportion of this world-class metropolis occupies in the choice of Chinese from Chinese mainland.

Obviously, the activities of the Chinese delegation to the United States in New York, the world's diplomatic center, are as important as those in Washington, D.C., for example, when the Chinese head of state attended a luncheon hosted by six groups, including the U.S.-China Association, he laid out a five-point guideline for developing U.S.-China relations.

……

The last stop of the Chinese delegation on the East Coast of the United States was Boston. And for the first time, the head of state of China came to Harvard University and gave a speech in English.

Then, the Chinese delegation flew to the West Coast of the United States - the time for the richest man to really show his skills, and it also came!

Because the itinerary has reached the final stage, and the political ~ political atmosphere here is not as strong as that on the East Coast, everyone is obviously light-hearted - for example, at the welcome dinner held by the Chinese community in Southern California, the Chinese head of state not only greeted everyone in his hometown dialect, but also sang a short piece of Peking Opera clearly.

Obviously, Tang Tycoon must invite the Chinese head of state and his entourage to visit his Hollywood industry, and the whole introduction process naturally focuses on "Titanic", which has jaw-dropping box office results at this time.

At this stage, American blockbusters are already familiar to Chinese people in Chinese mainland, and the works of Tang Tycoon's film company have been moved to the big screen of Nanzhonghai many years ago.

After all, leaders are also mortal people, and they need to rest at the right time to reduce fatigue, and watching movies is a way to "expand your horizons and understand the world", which is nothing more than a slightly different taste in appreciation - for example, Premier Zhou preferred documentaries when he was alive.

Tang Tycoon, who wants to see if the box office performance can exceed the original level of time and space, in order to avoid the impact of the Asian financial turmoil as much as possible, has made a very targeted schedule for the global release of "Titanic".

Take South Korea, which patted its chest and promised that it would not be affected by the financial turmoil, "Titanic" was basically released at the same time as the United States.

In Chinese mainland, the situation is similar, but the reason is not to avoid the currency devaluation in the place where it is released, but to help the Chinese head of state set the stage for a visit to the United States.

At a special screening event, the Chinese head of state who watched "Titanic" gave a high evaluation and said enthusiastically: "You must not think that capitalist countries have no ideological education - "Titanic" talks about the relationship between wealth and love, the rich and the poor, and vividly shows people's reactions in the face of disasters. ”

In October, when the Chinese delegation to the United States departed, the "14th National Congress" was held, so many representatives also enjoyed the "Titanic" in the South China Sea.

Originally, when China Film introduced "Titanic", it was very frugal and only needed a "master tape".

Tang Tycoon, who had been staring at this matter for a long time, specially called Han Shanping, "Old Han, as for being so provincial?" A 'master tape' can make up to 300 copies, where is enough? You don't want piracy to cheat me! So, I'll round you up - 10 first. The box office is not ideal, no money! ”

As a result, "Titanic" has fully blossomed in county-level theaters in Chinese mainland, and has been released for several months, and it is still hot - new box office records, constantly breaking to a higher level.

When visiting the film studio, Tang Tycoon made no secret of his ambitions, "The global box office of "Titanic" is very likely to exceed $2 billion. ”

How much GDP does this have to pull - all the members of the Chinese delegation visiting the United States are amazed!

The spectacular special effects of "Titanic" naturally led to Tang IT's computer industry, which is the task of the next stop - Silicon Valley.

Not surprisingly, the Chinese delegation traveled from Los Angeles to San Francisco by the "Tang's" California high-speed rail, which closely links Southern California and Northern California – and the members were once again amazed.

"Chang'an City" has long been ready for a long time, and the Chinese delegation to the United States will stay here, and then a series of itineraries such as visiting Silicon Valley and giving speeches at Stanford University will also be fully rolled out.

Just when the richest man was "working hard for the US-China trade", the Federal Department of Justice, together with 15 states in the United States, launched an anti-monopoly lawsuit against Zheru Software, which was finally captured by the media and stabbed out, which immediately caused a sensation in the industry, an uproar in the United States, and other mainstream media in the world also followed up and reported.

Tang Huan, who had long expected such a day, only said one sentence to those close to him, "Then continue to pull the calf!" ”

Brad Swarberg, CEO of Zheru Software, said in an interview with the media, "This move by the Ministry of Justice is a serious harm to the free competition of the market ~ if the judicial process is really initiated, then go to the Supreme Court to completely end this controversy." ”

As a result, the justices of the Supreme Court immediately said unofficially - we will not take this lawsuit, you should play in the local court.
