At the scene of the 52nd Academy Awards, Zhao Yazhi gently held Xu Guanwu's hand and walked across the red carpet.

Being able to enjoy the gaze of all eyes again made Zhao Yazhi can't help but bloom all her charm in an instant like a peacock opening the screen.

Although she is already a mother, she does not show her old age, but has a touch of gentle and touching maternal temperament, which immediately attracted countless reporters and killed countless films in seconds.

After a lapse of two years, Xu Guanwu participated in the Academy Awards again, which is undoubtedly very topical. In addition to the continued popularity of the films he invested in in the past two years, his investment in Silicon Valley has gradually attracted people's attention.

In the United States, few people can keep secrets, especially in recent years, Apple Computer and Microsoft are extremely fast-growing high-tech companies, reports about them are frequent, and their ultra-high annual turnover and super revenue ratio have made them the best prey in the eyes of Wall Street bankers.

And the shareholders of these two high-tech companies have naturally become the focus of attention. Americans also like to worship the strong, especially those who have become famous, and are regarded by them as heroes. And Xu Guanwu's name appears in the list of shareholders of both companies, and they are both the largest shareholders, which is very surprising.

Because Xu Guanwu has always given people the impression that he is a genius film investor, he can produce some very high-grossing movies every year, which makes people feel that his investment vision is really shrewd. Apple Computer and Microsoft Computer, which were just small and unknown companies a few years ago, have now become large companies with a market value of more than $100 million.

Especially Apple Computer. THE LAUNCH OF APPLE TYPE II HAS SOLD MORE THAN THREE MILLION UNITS. It is currently the world's best-selling personal computer. And such high sales have also earned Apple more than $200 million in profits. And just a few years ago, Steve Jobs and Woznek were mortgaging their houses to banks to buy computer parts. Such an astonishing shift has naturally made Apple a media darling. Americans love this kind of story of a frog turning a prince so much.

ON THE OTHER HAND, MICROSOFT IS ACTUALLY SIMILAR TO APPLE COMPUTER, EXCEPT THAT IT MAINLY SELLS BASIC LANGUAGE AND VISICALC (CHALK GRAY) SOFTWARE, WHICH ARE USED TO ASSEMBLE PROGRAMS AND SPREADSHEETS, BOTH OF WHICH ARE EXTREMELY HIGH-PERFORMANCE APPLICATIONS. Microsoft also made a lot of money by selling these two software, as well as derivatives of these two software.

However, Xu Guanwu has always been less concerned about the development of Microsoft than he is about Apple Computer. For example, when it comes to graphical operating systems, Xu Guanwu did not disclose half a sentence to Microsoft. When Microsoft and Apple Computer developed a graphical operating system, the system was almost out of testing.

Bill. Gates and Paul. When Alan saw the finished version of the graphical operating system shown by Apple Computer, he was so surprised that he almost dropped his jaw on the ground. This operating system is so advanced that these two computer geniuses are amazed to watch. You must know that Lu Dao didn't even have an eyebrow MS_DOS the operating system at that time.

IN FACT, IF IT WEREN'T FOR MICROSOFT'S HELP IN DEVELOPING A GRAPHICAL VERSION OF VISICALC'S SOFTWARE, STEVE. Jobs didn't want to let outsiders see the operating system right now. Because the commercial value of this operating system is so high, idiots know that if it is launched on the market, it will definitely make a lot of money.

MICROSOFT WANTS TO HELP APPLE COMPUTER DEVELOP GRAPHICAL OFFICE SOFTWARE, IN ADDITION TO VISICALC SPREADSHEET PROCESSING SOFTWARE, THERE IS ALSO A DOCUMENT PROCESSING SOFTWARE SIMILAR TO WORD. Although Apple Computer also has the talent to write software, it is not as professional as Microsoft. In addition, Jobs really liked and Bill. Gates worked together. Microsoft previously provided the BASIC language to Apple Computer, and the two sides have established a very friendly relationship.

……

Apple Computer and Microsoft are now both worth more than $100 million. In particular, Apple Computer has a market capitalization of more than $1 billion. The market value of these two companies was only one or two million at most a few years ago, and the market value has increased by a hundred times and a thousand times in just a few years, which naturally attracted countless envious eyes.

And when people knew that Xu Guanwu also invested in these two companies a few years ago, they couldn't help but admire his investment vision more and more. With the market value of these two companies a few years ago, Xu Guanwu's total investment would certainly not exceed five million US dollars, but now he has returned a huge fortune of nearly 600 million US dollars, and this is just a matter of a few years, and the average rate of return is dozens of times, which is much more profitable than smuggling arms and selling drugs.

Xu Guanwu has suddenly become an excellent investor from an excellent film investor, and he is more visionary than the most well-known investment experts on Wall Street. Celebrities like this naturally have media who want to interview him all the time, but because Xu Guanwu has been in Hong Kong all the year round, he has rarely set foot in the United States in the past two years. And he is a dominant company in Hong Kong, high above, even if the foreign media wants to interview him, he is often refused, so he has almost become a black hole of the media, everyone can feel him but can't see him, and the stirring American media industry is also a turmoil.

The reason why Xu Guanwu doesn't like to be interviewed by foreign media is mainly because of the old saying called "wealth is not exposed", and it is best to make a fortune in a muffled voice. In addition, he is already jealous enough in Hong Kong, and if he is widely publicized in the media, he may be shot coldly when he goes out on the street. You must know that after Li Jiacheng became the richest man in Hong Kong, his son was kidnapped by the thief Zhang Ziqiang. Xu Guanwu didn't want to receive a call one day, saying that his parents, wife, children, brothers and sisters had been kidnapped.

In addition, he already has the media, so he naturally hopes that the fertilizer water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, and even if he wants to visit, he will visit his own magazine first. If you want to publish a manuscript, you have to pay the copyright fee first, which is quite profitable. There is no reason to cheapen outsiders.

It's finally easy to show up today, and the naturally triggered media present are like doping, constantly shouting at Xu Guanwu and his wife. "Look over here. Look here! ”

"You are rumored to be the majority shareholder of Microsoft and Apple Computer. Is that true? ”

"Do you have any experience with investing?"

"Are you considering becoming an American citizen?"

"Get out of the way for the rich! Give us back the job opportunity! ”

The latter is a protest group standing next to it shouting that the United States advocates freedom of speech, and anyone has the right to express their opinions, so whenever there is a major event, there will always be some protesters. They have all sorts of reasons, some of which are even ridiculous.

It seems that among those who are here today are against the Vietnam War, even though the Vietnam War has been suspended for several years. There are calls for attention to the energy crisis. There are also those against homosexual discrimination. A large number of people stood there holding signs, constantly shouting at the cameras of media reporters and the guests on the red carpet. Of course, there is usually no response. Because today the Academy Awards and stars are the protagonists.

Xu Guanwu and his wife followed the star Meryl of today's award-winning "Mr. and Mrs. Kramer". Streep and Dustin. Hoffman walked the red carpet behind him, although Meryl. Streep dressed up sexy and charming, Dustin. Hoffman is also infinitely charming, plus both of them are the favorites to win the award today, and it should have been the scenery to receive the attention of tens of thousands of people, but it is a pity that it is followed by Xu Guanwu and his wife, who have not appeared for two years, and now they are the famous Xu Guanwu couple. So they should have been the protagonists today, but they basically became the foils of Xu Guanwu and his wife.

After walking the red carpet with difficulty, neither of them got the opportunity to stand on the interview desk and express their feelings to the audience and friends in front of the TV. was urged by the staff to leave the photo area, because Xu Guanwu and his wife were about to come over. The two of them needed to make room for someone.

"I hate him." Meryl. Streep couldn't help but say that today's dress was specially customized by her, and she failed to shine on the red carpet, but she didn't expect her hard work to be in vain, people didn't notice her at all, but all eyes were focused on the couple behind her, which really made her a little angry. You must know that she is very likely to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress today, which is also the first time she has won the Oscar, which is the happiest thing in her life. Unexpectedly, it was ruined by these two people.

"Calm down, Meryl!" Dustin smiled and said to Meryl, "You don't need to be angry, we are professional actors, we should control our emotions." The two guys behind us are the most well-known film investors in the United States today, and we should think about working with him, not against him. This is not good for our future development. ”

"You're right, I'm not supposed to lose my temper. Alright, let's go in first, I don't want to stay here any longer. "Meryl. Streep said.

……

Xu Guanwu and his wife stayed in the photo area for two minutes for the reporters present to take pictures, and then they were invited to the interview area for an interview with ABC TV. In 1976, ABC had the foresight to buy out the Oscar television rights from '76 to '08. It not only owns the rights to the TV broadcast, but also owns the rights to the Academy Awards, as well as the right to contract advertising, with which ABC TV also makes a lot of money.

The Osk Awards is the most well-known film festival in the world, not only in the United States, but also has a lot of influence in various countries in the world, so many TV stations will ask to broadcast this world's top film festival. And they will have to pay a hefty fee to ABC, which has exclusive broadcasting rights, in order to get the right to broadcast.

And if advertisers want to insert ads in this top event, they will also need to pay ABC a huge amount of advertising fees. In short, ABC TV used its forward-thinking vision to buy out the exclusive rights to broadcast the Oscars, and thus made an enviable profit.

After Xu Guanwu and his wife were invited to the interview area, the master of ceremonies of ABC TV station immediately came to interview.

"Hey, Stanley, long time no see! What have you been busy with these two years? Why don't you want to attend our Academy Awards again? Is it because he has already won the trophy for Best Picture, so he has no desire for the Academy Awards? The master of ceremonies asked with a smile.

"Ha Luha, don't talk nonsense, otherwise you will offend the Oscar judges, and I will not want to win another award in the future." Xu Guanwu hurriedly smiled, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to come, but I really had something to do the year before last and last year, so I couldn't come here, and I've always been very sorry in my heart." I feel sorry for the deep affection of the Oscar organizing committee. ”

"So what have you been busy with in the past two years, I heard that you are busy investing in high-tech technology, right? Is the Stanley angel investment fund in Silicon Valley named after you? It is said that you are a major shareholder of Apple Computer and Microsoft, and you are also a shareholder of IBM, HP, Xerox, Intel and other companies, is this true? The master of ceremonies asked with a smile again.

"It's private and I have nothing to say." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, and suddenly made the master of ceremonies stupid. (To be continued......)
