Chapter 13: Goldman Sachs See Goldman Sachs Again

Focus on the economic powerhouses of Western Europe, where the world's most influential sporting event, the World Cup, is in full swing. Although Chen Bo was not able to attend in person, Namibia and Germany belong to the same time zone, and in terms of longitude, they are closer to Greenwich's prime meridian.

Naturally, you don't have to endure the pain of staying up late to watch the game, and this year's competition is much more interesting.

First of all, CCTV host Huang Jianxiang lost his voice in the round of 16 Italy and Australia and shouted the classic sentence "You are not a fighting ......", which was viral on the Internet.

In the quarterfinals, the Three Lions, nicknamed the "European national football", England and Portugal came to a encounter, Manchester United's leading goalscorer Lu Xiaopang stepped on Chelsea's Portuguese defender Carvalho, while his club teammate Cristiano Ronaldo was asking the referee for a red card, and the result was obvious.

Chubby received the ruby card and left the field angrily, the Three Lions lost the game and eventually became the Three Meows, and Ronaldo also became spurned by the English after Simeone in the 98 World Cup. The feud between two of the club's best youngsters has also been amplified by the media.

Chen Bo knew at this time that Manchester City's opportunity to take this piece of fresh meat had come.

And in the final final, Zidane angrily confronted Materazzi in front of hundreds of millions of spectators, and it has also become an eternal classic.

As for who wins and loses, it doesn't matter to him as a spectator. Importantly, this World Cup is the first of its kind to be livestreamed, with Hulu participating in the whole process and setting new records in terms of views and views.

Eye-catching billboards on the scene provided the perfect backdrop for every classic match, not to mention the fact that Orange Telecom Germany also distributed free phone cards to fans with tickets, and the biggest winners were their sponsors.

As the time gradually entered July, Sunnyvale's neighbor, AMD, the second in the processor industry, couldn't wait to announce that it had eaten the Toronto-based graphics card company ATI for $5.4 billion.

On the same day, Nvidia, which has suspended trading on the NASDAQ, also held a press conference, and the orange company invested all the assets of ARM plus $1 billion, which means that after Nvidia issued additional shares, Orange became the company's largest controlling shareholder.

However, voting rights at the shareholders' meeting were given to Chairman and President Jensen Huang, and only Mayer and Hastings were added to the new board. As for why they were added?

Needless to say, with the development of mobile chips, Mayer certainly did not let it.

The latter, who controls the business of Hulu and the former Netflix, is continuing to increase its research on the artificial intelligence algorithm of streaming media, not only shooting a $1 million grand prize to stimulate global talent to produce micro-videos, but also using the same prize money to incentivize the innovation of technical talents, which can be said to be in the limelight for a while.

The development of network video is also inseparable from the support of hardware,Now the network media playback technology can reach360P The clarity is already the peak,And with the support in the design of the graphics card,Rush to 1080P in a short time,Blu-ray is not difficult。

But what is worth noting is that Huang Jenxun also released a CUDA1.0 platform on the same day.

What the hell is this? It is the general parallel computing architecture platform that he once talked to him about in New York, on which the central processing unit CPU and the graphics processing unit GPU can be co-processed and calculated.

This is definitely a qualitative leap forward for the development of artificial intelligence and cloud computing.

It seems that Lao Huang has long had this plan, but he has kept Chen Bo in the dark, and he is a sullen and low-key jacket man.

Chen Bo immediately ordered the immediate purchase of 10,000 GPU chips equipped with CUDA1.0 platform for the R&D and testing of the 'cloud rendering' project, which is equivalent to bringing together thousands of graphics cards, which will become an absolute boon for professional graphics, animation and even 3D modeling industries.

Not only can it improve work efficiency, but it can also reduce a lot of costs.

Another not-so-remarkable piece of news came to his eyes, and the appointment of a new Treasury Secretary, Paulson, was also in his eyes.

Who is he? Former chairman and president of Goldman Sachs, a hard-fisted Wall Street hawk.

The Internet bubble at the end of the century was inflated and popped under his instigation. Since then, Goldman Sachs, as its name suggests, has leapt above Merrill Lynch, Lehman and Morgan Stanley to become the top investment bank on Wall Street.

Goldman Sachs' evil cannot be explained in one or two pages, and many people have commented on it as "the most refined egoist", "Wall Street Eagle", and so on, which is not an exaggeration. They do create more value with fewer employees and are constantly moving through the world's financial markets.

What's more, he has maintained close relations with governments, and since the defeat of Roosevelt, the US Treasury has almost become the backyard of Goldman Sachs.

For example, the director of the Asian headquarters is the son-in-law of the chief executive, and the senior executives of the South American division include the daughter of the Argentine finance minister, and the rest of the world is self-evident.

They have played this trick the most, so that other investment banks can only follow suit, and even JPMorgan Chase, which is the latest to launch this business, is not exempt.

In fact, these operations are not even unspoken rules, they have long been on the surface.

But while helping companies to be financial consultants, on the other hand, it is much more disgusting to short partners, and domestic companies pay a lot of tuition fees for this.

The European debt crisis was also planned by Goldman Sachs, and although Chen Bo wanted to lift the lid, he was temporarily stopped by the old David. Although sooner or later it will be revealed, the first stick must start from the side of the United States to consider the issue of maximizing interests.

After the subprime mortgage crisis has extended outward and caused a global financial panic, waiting for countries to launch the first round of bailout policies and then unveil the debt crisis, like a continuous wave of the sea, although it blocks this wave, it may not be able to catch the next wave of offensive.

Different from the fighting game during the Asian financial crisis, this global wave should be more extensive and more rigorous and well-planned.

But no matter how big the wave is, Goldman Sachs claims to never fall, because they themselves have been tied to the White House, and no matter who comes to power, they can't do without this loyal hound.

Paulson is also very familiar with the East Asian market, and as soon as he took office, he planned to go to China to make a mess of money, and I am afraid that this trip will not have any good intentions.

Here, Angelina will give birth immediately, and Chen Bo can't withdraw for the time being, no matter how big the matter is compared with witnessing the birth of the child, it will be ranked second, so he can only secretly lay nails, intending to stop this hungry tiger on Wall Street from grabbing food in China.

As the delivery date approached, there were suddenly more people in the town, and although they were all hiding in the small town, the media obtained Angelina's whereabouts through the agency.

Chen Bo had already arranged for dozens of bodyguards to be around the villa, and all the media drove them away, refusing to accept any interviews or take pictures.

But at this time, the world outside is very lively, the sexiest Hollywood actress and the most perverse, the most topical Chinese president, always high-profile to keep in the hot list of topics, how can their children be born soon?

Well-known blogs in Europe and the United States. Lottery companies such as William Hill and Ribo have even opened a market on their websites for whether they produce boys or girls, more like mothers or more like fathers.

It's not that they're really idle and have nothing to do, and they're full. Anyway, the curiosity of gamblers kills cats, and it is not surprising to think that they can even open such a plate as whether the queen's dog is male or female, and when Charles can ascend the throne.

The periodicals and magazines "People", "Forbes", "Time Magazine", etc. are even more anxious, whoever can win the front page of the mother and son photo, who can beat each other in the market, and even do not hesitate to fight for the copyright of the photo, and has now bid for 3 million US dollars in place for the first photo, which can be called a sky-high price.

"There are invitations from two photo agencies, one Gettyimage and one ireimage, who want to come and take pictures for us for free. You are in the Internet, you should be more familiar, let's see who to choose. Angelina was fiddling with her computer with her round belly, where emails from her agent were lying.

"But I don't know anyone." Chen Bo shook his head and said, "I'm still quite confident in my photography skills, why do I hand over my children to others to take pictures." ”

"What about the group photo?"

"There is a tripod to set the point, and you can control the shutter with a remote control." Chen Bo is not a rookie, Namibia is the most suitable area for photography enthusiasts, sparsely populated, beautiful scenery, as long as you are not too stupid, you can find the beautiful pictures you want.

"Then give the right to the first shot to you, Dad!" Angelina has also seen his works and is quite satisfied, but she wants a family of three to appear in the picture. Then he said, "I plan to auction the copyright to the highest bidder and donate it, what do you say?" ”

"No problem, but we don't need to donate directly to others, we set up a children's charity foundation and hand it over to Orange Charity to manage. All the income from the copyright of the child's portrait is deposited in it, and they will take over when they reach adulthood, and the decision is made by themselves whether to withdraw or retain. ”

"It's a good idea, they can cultivate their sense of public welfare from an early age, and they will be a philanthropist when they grow up!" Angelina clapped her hands and said fast.

"With a mother like you who is keen on public welfare, they naturally don't have to worry about their education, but they still have to learn to make money first, and I don't want to be a loser who can't continue to be poor and destitute."

As soon as Chen Bo spoke, the naughty fetus in the womb kicked up his legs dishonestly, as if he was silently protesting to his father.

Angelina only felt that the abdominal pain was unbearable, and she was about to give birth.
