In the next few days, Su Zhen accompanied by Bella, almost all of the more than 200,000 acres of land went around, checked the overall progress of the project, basically can be completed before the end of this year, in fact, relative to, the construction of the ranch, the most headache for Bella and Su Zhen is the problem of manpower, such a large land, the need for manpower is definitely a lot, only a huge ranch of about 100,000 acres, even if it is only calculated according to three cows per acre, it is also a huge 300,000 heads, and the cowboys needed are at least hundreds, But so far, the local cowboys and foreign cowboys have only recruited a total of more than 30 people, the gap is huge, and although the demand for forest farms and pastures is not so much, but there are also a lot, and Wyoming is a little too remote, in today's young people like to run to the city, recruiting people has become a big problem, although Su Zhen can also rely on the practice of raising salaries to poach people, but it is estimated that it will offend all the farmers and ranchers in the entire west, and it will be a big trouble.

For the first time, Su Zhen began to feel the feeling that he couldn't do everything with money.

And when Su Zhen was busy with various things on the ranch, the screening of Twilight basically ended, although it was slightly inferior to the North American box office of 430 million in the Phantom Crisis, but it also got a good result of 340 million, and the global box office reached an astonishing 700 million, which also means that Su Zhen will get hundreds of millions of income from it, and the name Su has begun to frequently make headlines in major newspapers, and many media have shouted wildly, saying that Su Zhen is the most profitable "screenwriter" so far.

And Paramount was overjoyed after Twilight got such results, and soon found Su Zhen hoping to start filming the second part immediately, and because the follow-up copyright is still in the hands of Su Zhen, Paramount had to give up 1 more layer of benefits in order to continue to cooperate with Su Zhen, but Su Zhen didn't let them suffer, after all, the cooperation with Paramount was quite pleasant, so Paramount got all the copyrights of the next three parts. Of course, there are requirements, and at the same time there is Lionsgate who gets this treatment, Su Zhen actually doesn't really care about who he works with, he only cares about how much money he can get, but Su Zhen estimates that most of Twilight's income this year, most of which will be contributed to the US Internal Revenue Service next year, because today's stock market is too crazy, which also marks Su Zhen's value has skyrocketed, especially Su Zhen is now gradually selling his investment shares, and a large amount of profits are subject to capital gains tax.

Thinking of this, Su Zhen was extremely painful. However, the good news that kept coming from Rachel in San Francisco made Su Zhen's mood slightly better.

Before the end of September, Rachel successfully sold off all the stocks in the company's hands that were not very profitable and had a small market capitalization, bringing about $500 million in profits to Su Zhen, and at this time the Nasdaq index had risen to 3200 points, and it was less than a month between the rise to 3000 points, and it was almost unthinkable in the past, and in 5 years from 91 to 95, the entire Nasdaq only rose by 500 points. What Su Zhen didn't know was that history had changed. The Nasdaq reached more than 3,000 points months ahead of schedule.

In October, Rachel sold almost all of the unlisted companies, even though they were not listed and their market capitalizations were much lower than those of the publicly traded companies. But compared with when it was originally purchased, it was still a few times, and once again made a profit of more than 200 million for Su Zhen, and at this time the Nasdaq stock index reached a crazy 3,800 points.

November. RACHEL BEGAN TO GRADUALLY SELL ALL OF HIS SHARES EXCEPT EBAY, CAUSING A SLIGHT AMOUNT OF VOLATILITY WHEN A LARGE NUMBER OF SELL ORDERS APPEARED ON THE STOCK MARKET. But it was quickly swept away by those crazy buyers, and the stock market continued to rise wildly.

At the beginning of December 1999, the NASDAQ broke through the 4,000 mark for the first time, Rachel continued to sell all the stocks in her hands, at this time she was under Su Zhen's instructions and could not care about exposure, a large amount of sell orders smashed into the stock market, such a huge sell order, if it was placed in normal times, it would definitely set off huge waves, but it was too small for the stock market that has been completely crazy now, there was no splash, and the NASDAQ index was still soaring wildly.

All the news media are singing about the economic prosperity of the United States, and continue to fool the people into continuing to invest in the bottomless pit of the stock market, while the capital predators standing behind these media are already secretly getting out.

In fact, there have been many investors with a keen sense of smell who have asked a trace of unusual taste, but under the influence of the excitement of everyone on the trading floor, that trace of worry and ominousness was instantly thrown into the back.

In late December, Rachel successfully completed Su Zhen's instructions, although because of the early shot, but in the process of selling, the crazy stock market still doubled Su Zhen's net worth, and Su Zhen's original stocks with a market value of only about three billion US dollars, the funds obtained after the sale actually quadrupled, this time Su Zhen's total profit reached nearly 10 billion, which is still in the case of EBAY's shares not being sold, which makes Su Zhen a little unbelievable.

But the surprise is followed by ecstasy, a hundred dollars, what is that concept in the 21st century? To know that Lu Dao is now the richest man in the world, Bill Gates's personal assets announced by Forbes last year are only more than 50 billion, although this is only a nominal asset, but as a result, Su Zhen is really among the top richest people in the world, I believe that the new issue of Forbes list, there will inevitably be his name, more importantly, Su Zhen's 10 billion, almost entirely cash, to know that Lu Dao, in addition to a few world-level banks in the world, it is estimated that no company or individual can have such a large amount of cash.

However, Su Zhen's 10 billion is really just a drop in the bucket for the NASDAQ at this time......

On December 31, 1999, Su Zhen was in San Francisco and Rachel looking at the number jumping on the computer, NASDAQ - 5,000 points.

1999 has passed, 2000 has officially arrived, in the eyes of ordinary people, the prosperity of the stock market is the best New Year's gift for them, and in the eyes of Su Zhen and some other capital predators, the stock market at this time is a straw that thousands of catties are pressed on the camel's body, and perhaps the next point of increase is the last one that crushes the camel.

The year 2000 was the last year of the 20th century, and the people of all countries in the world were full of hope and strode forward to usher in the dawn of the new century, but for the vast number of shareholders and high-tech companies, it was indeed like a nightmare year.
