Chapter 455: United Front

"He's every girl's dream prince, that's, you know, when we're very young, we always think we're going to be taken by a dragon or a witch, and then there's a prince who is handsome, who makes us feel safe and powerful, and who's going to be a dragon slayer, or unenchant the witch and save us. There is no doubt that he is the kind of prince inside, who meets all the conditions, if not better. ”

Meghan said to a female reporter.

When asked what to think of Daniel, to be honest, since she became popular all over the world with "Transformers", there have been many occasions when questions about Daniel have had to be answered. But different from the previous answers, such as he is a good boss, he is an admirable actor, his achievements and greatness are surprising, and other orthodox answers, this time Meghan's response is obviously different.

Although the female journalist was also immersed in the childhood dreams described by Meghan, she quickly reflected on them.

"Meghan, so, is it possible for Daniel to be your prince?"

"It's such a difficult question for me, and it's not easy to choose an answer from lying and arrogance."

The female reporter was slightly disappointed that Meghan's new answer to the previous question had made her heart skip a beat for a while - if, if she could really hear some definite news from Meghan's mouth, such as that she and Daniel were in a relationship. The female journalist will soon become the focal point of Hollywood's entertainment news scene — the journalist who uncovered Daniel's third relationship, a title that makes female reporters feel dizzy.

It's a pity that Meghan chose to stop here and proceed cautiously.

Compared with the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, Plutos's real money actions in the financial market are much more brutal.

Daniel began to reduce his stake in the Internet -- almost the last focus of Protos' investment, and apart from his holdings in major companies, Protos' equity investment has since shrunk.

……

Apple has just launched its own smartphone. Almost at the same time, Google, F2F-led Open Handset Alliance, and its Motorola, Ericsson, HTC and Hua Wei, have launched their own Android phones - yes, Daniel finally won a place for Hua Wei, which is extremely difficult, but precious, as a Chinese company, Hua Wei is sometimes discriminated against and wary in the West, this time Daniel persuaded Larry. Page. The most important reason is Google's positioning for the Open Mobile Phone Alliance, Google has not launched its own mobile phone products, from this point of view, the more mobile phone manufacturers that use the Android system, the more beneficial it is for Google, and the introduction of Chinese manufacturers with a huge market, in the final analysis, is beneficial and harmless to Google. Therefore. With the joint promotion of F2F and Google, Hua Wei was finally able to join the group.

Ren Zhengfei communicated with Daniel many times, and finally even promised to be willing to provide all the help of Plutos's actions in China without violating the law.

In a large number of Chinese business groups. Daniel's action earned Plutos quite a bit of goodwill - the help was significant, and it was leapfrogging. There was a consensus that without Daniel's help. Hua Wei, or any Chinese mobile phone manufacturer, is unlikely to enter the Open Handset Alliance. This is determined by the natural gap between China and the West.

This is the result Daniel wants.

But no matter what, Apple's new phone has been a success in the market.

Plutos chose this time to reduce his holdings of Apple stock, and the market couldn't understand it, even Steve. Jobs couldn't read it either.

Based on Plutos' move to extract hundreds of millions of dollars from Apple, which itself has become one of the pressures that have brought Apple's stock downward, Jobs had to contact Daniel personally.

The place where the two people met, plainly unbelievable, sat two super billionaires inside.

"Why? No one on the entire Apple board can guess your intentions. ”

The relationship between Jobs and Daniel is actually good, although Jobs is known for his eccentric personality, but geniuses and geniuses will always have their own way of communication, not to mention, the competition between Pixar and DD animation is also becoming more and more fierce, and Jobs, who has sold Pixar, has become a spectator in this competition, which makes him and Daniel have a lot more topics.

So, he chose to ask directly.

If someone else at Apple were replaced, whether it was a director or an executive, the way the conversation would not have been the way it is now.

"You may not believe it, but it's just a normal investment operation," Daniel tried to make his eyes look a little more believable, "Really, after we evaluated, we think that the iPhone has not lived up to the expectations of the market - everyone wants it to be an iPod-level work, and now it looks a little difficult." ”

Before the launch of the iPhone 3G in 2008, this series really didn't get too fascinating, and although it was still a success, it was not inferior to the IPOD, which replaced the Walkman.

Apple's stock plunge at the end of this year and early next year was triggered by the fact that the highly anticipated iPhone did not perform well enough, and of course, it has a big foundation, although the State Department, the Federal Reserve, and so on, all stand up for the US economy. However, there are still a huge number of doubts in the market, and the fluctuation of the Internet stock market is an indirect feedback of this stock, in other words, the market has become sensitive.

"It's a bastard reason."

Jobs didn't know if he should trust Daniel.

Daniel smiled, "What do you think otherwise?" Because of the competition of the Android League? ”

Jobs shook his head disdainfully, "It's a bit unrealistic to say I don't care about Android, but it's true that Apple doesn't see Android as an important reason." We're just trying to push our own progress, and that's why Apple has been successful. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Daniel didn't discuss the past and present of Android and IOS with Jobs, he just continued to look at Jobs.

"Daniel, under your leadership, Plutos has rapidly expanded on the spring breeze of the recovery of technology companies and has become one of the most powerful investment companies. Your actions will make Apple wonder if there is a violent crisis that we haven't seen, and that's why I'm meeting you today. ”

Plutos has indeed become one of the bellwethers of a certain type of stock, and it is not for nothing that Jobs would take it so seriously.

However, he did not get the expected answer from Daniel, and on the one hand, he felt a little relieved. On the other hand, it is inevitable to speculate whether Daniel has hidden his true intentions from him.

But soon after, when Apple fell from its heights, Mr. Jobs's suspicions were alleviated — perhaps, it was just a real financial operation, except that Plutos had won again.

……

"What?"

"Invitation from Switzerland."

"Switzerland?"

Daniel took the invitation from Kusa's hand, blue and white, reminiscent of the sky and snow-capped mountains.

"The World Economic Forum in Davos? Why wasn't it delivered to Raymond, but given it directly to me? ”

Plutos has developed to this day. It has long been a significant force, but in almost all public appearances, it is Raymond who has come out, and as the CEO of Plutos, he also has the power to represent Plutos. Daniel himself, who rarely even talks about Plutos at public events, plays the image of an actor diligently and single-mindedly, even if this is a super actor who cares about public welfare, society, and the development of the industry, but he is always an actor. This is also the reason why in the hearts of the majority of audiences, the image of this super-rich man is still a star.

Thanks to Daniel's deliberate portrayal all the time, he has become an actor and a star. And not a rich man.

The reason for doing this is entirely due to Daniel's planning for the stage of his life, and so far, he still positions himself as an actor.

"Raymond got it, too." Kusa asked Daniel to take a closer look.

Daniel looked at it again suspiciously. This time he noticed something different, the invitation did not mention anything about Plutos and its companies. On the contrary, the terms of philanthropy and youth leaders are quite frequent. Although Davos claims to be the World Economic Forum, it is actually home to many young leaders. Even influential figures such as Hollywood stars are invited to discuss economic issues that matter to everyone.

This time, Daniel was apparently invited as a youth leader.

In fact, in last year's "People" magazine, a "list of power figures in 30 years" was launched, which included influential young people from all over the world, and Daniel ranked first! Others include Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang, as well as Chinese basketball star Yao Ming, the daughter of President George W. Bush of the NBA, Hollywood, and young business leaders.

In fact, Daniel is also a figure on one of Forbes' more communicative lists: the World's Power Figures.

On this list, the leaders of China, the United States, Germany and other countries, Microsoft's Bill. Gates, as well as His Holiness the Pope, are on it, Daniel. Sandler is the de facto controller of Plutos, and in fact, Forbes can't fully confirm this, but at least Daniel is more representative of Plutus and his vast social empire than Raymond. Daniel is 12th on the list, a little higher than the British prime minister.

"Emerging Internet companies such as F2F, MB, MySpace, and YouTube have revolutionized the world public opinion landscape in the past year, allowing people to express their intentions more smoothly and directly, while deeply participating in a wider range of issues. If they're not happy, you'll soon see their backlash. At the same time, it also brings new business opportunities, especially for small business companies, who promote their products to the most targeted users through the enterprise module of the social platform, which helps them to be known by their target customers in the shortest possible time, thus increasing the company's chances of survival. All in all, these sites have profoundly changed the world, and these all make up the influence of the person who owns this social empire, at least for now, this person is Daniel. Sandler. ”

After repeatedly appearing on various lists and taking stock, whether Daniel wanted it or not, he inevitably became the leader of the young leaders - a 28-year-old man at the top of the world's power.

The important thing is that his influence does not come from a certain field, Davos will invite people from all walks of life, generally speaking, business, finance, media, and politics are the most important sources, but literary and artistic stars are also a highlight, almost every year there will be Hollywood stars, well-known writers invited. Daniel is a special case, he is a business tycoon, but also a superstar, he is a frequent and credible advising on global affairs in the United States, and he also has his own positions and opinions on topics such as humanitarianism and world peace solutions. All of this makes up a Daniel that should not be overlooked. Sandler.

Regardless, what is particularly interesting is that this is indeed the first time he has been invited to Davos.

Previously, Raymond, F2F's Mark, and MB's Javier have all been invited and have participated.

Davos seems intent on forgetting Daniel, who is standing behind them, and I don't know if they are respecting Daniel or if they think that inviting them is enough. Of course, there is no need to say much about the strength of capital figures, but in terms of the specific impact on the world economy, the CEOs of major companies are more convincing.

Therefore, Daniel was a little surprised to be invited this year.

What prompted the Swiss economist to change his mind?

Since 2007, the world economy has been in a state of panic, and everyone is discussing the question: Can the United States solve the problem and whether it can continue to stabilize the world economy?

Americans say we can!

Then the rest of the world is divided into two camps, one insisting that the United States is finished, and the other denouncing them for being alarmist.

So far, there is still no certainty in the outcome, but at least it seems that the U.S. government is working very hard.

……

At the end of 2007, Daniel announced that he would attend Davos.

Then he received a call from the Secretary of State himself -- don't think that there is no such thing as united front work in the United States, where they have a new name called "PR." Chinese often see PR as an unbearable behavior, either involving money and sex transactions or power rent-seeking, but in the United States, even if the president needs to pass an important bill in Congress, does he have to go to the PR party and other party members? So this is roughly equivalent to a kind of "uniting all forces that can be united", that is, what the Chinese consider to be a more lofty united front work.

Secretary of State, Ms. Condoleezza Rice, is here to United Front Daniel. Sandler's. (To be continued.) )
