Chapter 763: The Bubble Is Coming
"Hello, are you Zhang Ning?"
"Oh my God, you're really Zhang Ning, can you sign it for me?"
"Mr. Zhang Ning, you are my idol, please take my knees. △¢,.”
After Penguin went public, Zhang Ning's popularity reached the top.
In particular, Zhang Ning's speech after Penguin's listing inspired hundreds of millions of fans.
Dreams still have to be had, what if they come true?
This sentence.
Whether it is for successful people or for slings, it is equally suitable.
In the same way, this sentence, whether it is self-deprecating or self-motivated, is also okay.
Even if you just think this sentence is a joke, it is just as popular all over the world.
Undoubtedly, Zhang Ning, a very legendary person, is like a Hollywood star even in the United States.
Zhang Ning has encountered a situation like this more than a dozen times.
In the end, Zhang Ning had no choice but to go out with sunglasses, which was slightly undiscovered.
"Haha, Zhang Ning, it seems that you have become an idol of the Americans."
Seeing that Zhang Ning finally sent away some fans who wanted to sign autographs, Buffett, who was already waiting for Zhang Ning in a coffee tube, laughed.
"What kind of idol, if I had known that this would be the case, I shouldn't have shown my face."
Zhang Ning regretted it slightly.
Although showing your face is also for the penguin, it is also a depressing thing to walk on the street at this time and everyone will recognize you.
"Heh, you little guy, don't want to be so much in the limelight, if it's me, I'll enjoy it calmly."
"Mr. Buffett, don't make fun of me. By the way, I really admire you, you can actually guess that the market value of our Penguin company can exceed a trillion dollars. ”
Even though it has been a few days since the penguin was listed, Zhang Ning was very surprised by Buffett's previous expectations.
"Mr. Buffett, I'm curious to know, how did you predict that?"
"Hehe......"
Warren Buffett laughed, "It's just intuition." ”
"Intuition?"
Does Warren Buffett rely on intuition to speculate on stocks?
Obviously, Zhang Ning didn't believe it.
However, seeing that Buffett didn't say anything, Zhang Ning didn't continue to ask again.
This is his unique skill, how can he tell others lightly.
It's just that Zhang Ning has something he wants to ask more.
"By the way, Mr. Buffett, I have one more thing that is strange."
"What's the matter?"
"May I ask if your fund, Berkshire, sold some shares belonging to Penguin yesterday."
Zhang Ning was very strange. Warren Buffett, who has always supported him, actually began to sell the Penguin shares they had previously bought after Penguin broke through the market value of $1.1 trillion yesterday. Although, this is not much sold. However, this flipping move was enough to make Zhang Ning worried.
You know, Warren Buffett is a god.
His every move affects the entire U.S. market, and even the global market.
Just like later generations, Zhang Ning remembered a piece of news.
It is said that Warren Buffett invested in a railway stock belonging to the United States in the United States, but as a result, there is no news about this relationship with China's Shenma, and the railway stocks of A-shares on the Chinese side have risen sharply for several months. Of course, there is an even more bullish thing that Buffett inadvertently took a fancy to the good domestic BYD battery, and made a small investment. As a result, BYD went from only making batteries to a traditional automotive industry.
Even if it was the previous collapse of U.S. stocks, Buffett accounted for a large factor.
"Yes."
Buffett's face changed slightly, but he still nodded.
"We're selling some."
Warren Buffett seemed hesitant.
But at this moment, Zhang Ning was even more anxious, "Mr. Buffett, you promised us that you would always hold the shares of our penguin company." At this point, how did it sell? ”
"This ......"
Buffett doesn't know how to explain it.
"Zhang Ning ......"
Opening his mouth, Buffett sighed, "Actually, it wasn't my intention to sell Penguin shares." As you said, I promised you that I would always hold your Penguin shares. It's just that when I discussed with you before, I didn't think that your penguin company could break through the trillion, but now he has really broken through. ”
"Mr. Buffett, so what? Breaking through 1 trillion, won't you earn more? ”
"Yes, yes, we did make a lot of money. However, we have earned enough, and, I would say. Penguin's current trillion-dollar market has produced a strict bubble. ”
"Mr. Buffett, what do you mean?"
Zhang Ning sat on the side and looked at Buffett coldly.
"I'm sorry, Zhang Ning, I have no intention of going against you, and besides, I have always regarded you as a friend. It's just that, as an investor, I am responsible for my fund company, and I am responsible for my investment business. As you must know, your penguins' market value of more than one trillion actually has a big bubble in it. Your current performance, including your current market, is not enough to support a trillion-dollar market capitalization. The stock price can plummet at any time, and I can only do this for the sake of the company and the sake of the customers. ”
"I hope you understand."
may have felt that Zhang Ning was already angry, and Buffett kept explaining on the side.
"Okay, I understand."
Zhang Ning let out a long breath.
"As a businessman, I understand what you do."
Since Buffett already has this plan, what can he do?
"However, as a friend, it is difficult for me to understand."
Zhang Ning stood up.
"Don't be sorry, Mr. Buffett, I won't blame you. I also know that our Penguin company has a big bubble in its market value right now, but you can rest assured, I will not let this bubble burst. ”
"Thank you for always helping me."
Nodding to Buffett, Zhang Ning prepared to leave.
He won't blame Buffett, but, after this incident, he may only think of Buffett as an ordinary friend, or even an ordinary friend is just a businessman.
Looking at the back of Zhang Ning's departure, Buffett looked very lonely.
He didn't know whether the decision he made this time was right or wrong.
"Okay, Zhang Ning, no matter what, I still wish you success. I'm too old to dream as big as you young people. ”
Sighing again, Buffett muttered to himself.
"If only I could find a genius heir like this, it would be great."
As soon as he thought of this, Buffett's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, from today onwards, I will do my best to find an heir, perhaps, he can keep up with Zhang Ning's pace."
……
Coming out of the café, a cold wind suddenly blew over, freezing Zhang Ning with some hair.
Damn, it's April, and it's still so cold.
scolded dissatisfiedly, but the cold wind blew, which made Zhang Ning's mind unusually sober.
"Didn't you just say that?"
In fact, when Zhang Ning walked out of the café, he knew that he had said something wrong just now.
It is not for nothing that Warren Buffett sold shares in Penguin.
He can't even give you the whole company for the sake of his friends.
Or I'm too presumptuous.
It's just that at this moment, Zhang Ning is embarrassed to go back to the café.
Forget it, let's meet with Buffett later, and go back now.
7 Wall Street 8.
This is the headquarters of Penguin in the United States.
The reason why it is fixed on Wall Street is not that Zhang Ning wants to speculate in stocks, nor does Zhang Ning want to watch the stock price of Penguin every day. He just wants to grasp the first-hand information of companies from all walks of life around the world in this place where the world's capital is most prosperous.
After returning to the headquarters, Zhang Ning fell into deep thought.
Warren Buffett is right, the market value of Penguin does have a bubble.
Not only him, Zhang Ning also felt that the bubble was not small.
Now the bubble is still there, it hasn't burst yet, and it's all good.
If it breaks down, even if it doesn't repeat the Internet winter cup that Yahoo built back then, I'm afraid it won't be much better.
It seems that it is time to launch a new business.
The two most important subsidiaries of Penguin Inc. are listed.
One is Facebook and the other is the Penguin Fund.
Whether it is Facebook or Penguin Fund, there will be no significant changes in the two companies in the short term.
So, I had to let the other subsidiaries start to expand.
Focus Media has opened up the market in the United States, but unfortunately, the protectionism in the United States is too strong, and Focus Media has only won a part of the market, and it is more difficult to progress in the future.
Penguin comics can be promoted to the United States, but the United States does not have the soil for comics to survive, and it is only slightly better than China.
In the end, there was only one penguin video.
Video business?
Zhang Ning hasn't made up his mind yet.
Although the video business makes a lot of traffic, it doesn't make much money.
Do you want to move your domestic business here?
Zhang Ning still likes instant messaging the most.
This can not only absorb traffic, but also use this platform to enter any industry.
In layman's terms, instant messaging is the entrance to the Internet.
Countless netizens, new users, are all through guò instant messaging, enter the Internet, understand the Internet, and finally grow up on the Internet.
It's just that after Zhang Ning's investigation, he learned that MSN's market position in the United States is the same as QQ's market position in China, and Zhang Ning retreated.
Later, Zhang Ning went on to investigate the search engine.
Although Zhang Ning knows that Google is already the hegemon of the global search engine, even if Zhang Ning's domestic search defeats Google, it still can't shake his super position in the world. It's just that Zhang Ning still hopes to find a loophole to enter.
Unfortunately, it backfired.
If Zhang Ning wants to enter the global search engine market now, there is basically no opportunity.
Unless Zhang Ning falls out with Yahoo, remove Yahoo's search on Facebook and get the search up.
But Zhang Ning couldn't do that.
He's in the U.S. now, surrounded by enemies, and he needs a business or two to help him.
Moreover, Zhang Ning also knows.
Even so, Sosou may not be able to break into the global market, and even so, it will turn Yahoo into its enemy.
Instead, Zhang Ning investigated the e-commerce market again.
As a result, Zhang Ning was even more depressed.
EABY and Amazon have a better market share in the United States, as well as services than their Penguin Mall.
Amazon, in particular, has established a complete logistics channel, and Zhang Ning has almost no opportunities.
PS: Many readers think that after the penguin reaches the top, there is nothing to write about, but in fact, as mentioned in the novel, the penguin's ascent to the top is only the beginning of his global hegemony.
