Baht?

Quantum Fund?

George Soros?

Isn't this special code sleepy to send a pillow, for nothing?

As early as the beginning of this year, Roland wanted to get involved in the Asian financial crisis.

But alas, he waited for five months, and did not wait for any good news.

But that's normal, M&A splits are Ronald Perelman's main business, hostile takeovers are Carl Icahn's forte, hedge funds are David Shaw's domain, and the collapse of the National Bank is the ......

That's what Soros is the kind of.

Unfortunately, Roland doesn't know Soros.

A lot of times, people have this kind of self-confidence, I am reborn, I know history, I can act recklessly, but in fact, in the major financial crises, even if you know, you can't do it.

Is it true that shorting the Thai baht is only 15 billion on the surface?

No kidding, the opponent's handicap in the first five minutes after the market opens can smash 300 million.

The total volume of transactions in one day exceeded 40 billion.

How much money can you come up with?

Later, when shorting the Hong Kong dollar, within one day, the two sides knocked out nearly 240 billion.

How much money can you come up with?

It's like everyone knows that four circuit breakers in ten days, shorting is definitely profitable.

But......

If you want to go short, the dealer can flip the table!

As soon as the U.S. stock market is forbidden to short, you can only watch stupidly.

Therefore, most of the time, Roland is reluctant to do certain things in person, it's not that he's lazy, but he knows that he doesn't have the ability to operate, if he really has such a bull beep, he wouldn't have been so miserable in his previous life.

As for finding someone to do?

This kind of thing is really not as easy as picking up money with a big guy!

Massive funds and financial skills are of course the factors of success, but the foundation of success is actually the exchange of inside information, you go to guess when people smash the market, then it is better to directly give the money to the banker, let him smash the market......

And to be honest, Roland now remembers the Asian financial crisis in '97.

As for when did the Thai baht collapse?

He also wishes he had a Google in his head!

It is precisely because Roland also remembers the Qingda incident and can't remember the specific time, so after hearing about the quantum fund, he agreed to it, and it became his best choice, the point is that after Paul Allen emphasized that he only does Thai baht now, Roland is more relieved, because he doesn't want to do Hong Kong dollars!

Roland's arrogant response also surprised Jobs, "You can take 200 million cash to do this thing?" ”

"Then why don't you go ahead and buy Apple shares?"

"You sold more than 10 million shares of Microsoft, plus 200 million in cash, and now you already have a veto."

Jobs was serious now.

Or, after finding out that Roland was really optimistic about himself, he thought Roland was actually quite cute.

Since Roland believed him, he didn't mind Roland controlling Apple.

As long as they support him, he welcomes them.

"Where did I get 200 million in cash?" Roland, who could get Jobs' thoughts, hurriedly cried poor, "I believe in the money channel provided by Paul!" As for the money, if you can take out a credit loan, you can take out a credit loan, and if you can't credit a credit loan, you can pledge Berkshire Hathaway's shares, and according to Wall Street's rating of it, the pledge rate is basically 60 to 70 percent? ”

That's right, that's what Berkshire Hathaway stock is really for.

At present, the shares of Internet companies are not worth much at all, and even if they are pledged, banks do not dare to approve much.

But Berkshire Hathaway is different, people outperform the market every year, and they are increasing their holdings every year, and they pledge it, even if it is troublesome to realize, it is easy to approve 60%.

According to the current value of 43,000 per share, Roland can get 516 million in cash.

Half a year has passed, and when the money is repaid, even if interest and handling fees are added, it has not outpaced the rise of other people's stocks......

Isn't it cool to use the public's money to do your own thing?

This is equivalent to spending two or three points of the stock rise in exchange for at least 1.5 billion in cash.

With 1.5 billion of them, is it still difficult to extract nearly 500 million apples to eat 34 percent?

Oh! This is not Roland's excess!

This is to meet Jobs's personal needs!

He's really not interested in Apple! All he's interested in is Pixar!

╮(╯▽╰)╭

And the remaining billion will have more things to do.

Acquire the naughty dogs from Universal that will produce "Crash Bandicoot", "Uncharted" and "The Last of Us";

Then the small studio directly opposite the acquisition of Naughty Dog, that is, the future Santa Monica, took "God of War" into his arms;

then bought SuckerPunch from the illiterate Microsoft, and gave up "The Foxy Adventure" and the future "Notoriety" in the "Three Musketeers of the Sony Platform";

then went to Oregon and copied the Bend studio that produced "Siphon Warrior";

Finally, there is Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where the future Ranger Studio was born, and Killzone and Horizon will not be left to Sony.

Since you want to kill Sony, you can't let him stand up with the cash cow of the game anymore!

"GTA" + "Call of Duty" + "Battlefield" can indeed compete with Sony.

But if you beat someone, you have to kill them with a stick, or you will suffer endlessly.

It's also a shame that Roland spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy games in his previous life.

Otherwise, he really doesn't know where Sony's first-party studios were acquired.

Of course, raising Microsoft's Xbox will actually form a situation where Windows dominates and a monopoly shouts prices.

Let Bill Gates, who is thinking about monopoly all the time, develop, in fact, it is not much good for Roland.

However, for the current Roland, trying to kill Sony is the focus of the moment.

What's more, in the case of having already invested in Apple and Amazon, and wants to invest in Google.

Microsoft will always fight with him in the future.

In this case, it is better to accumulate some experience first, so as not to start blind when you encounter problems in the future.

Running away from the problem will only make it bigger.

Shout out Olli give!

Maybe it's just reckless?

After talking about investment in a child's playful tone, everyone tacitly agreed that they didn't talk about work anymore, but nonsense from all over the world, in short, no one felt that this kind of behavior was a waste of time.

Of course, this also has to do with the fact that Steve Jobs not only discovered Roland's thoughts, but also discovered the advanced concepts in his mind; This also has something to do with Bill Gates and Paul Allen's trip to find out that Roland is really not investing blindly; This also has something to do with the fact that Steven Spielberg, who is connected to all sides, finally knows which apprentice is the most painful under his name.

It was until more than twelve o'clock in the night, and the old men who couldn't bear it shouted out.

Spielberg drove straight home, but as he left, he patted Roland on the shoulder; The other three will stay in the clubhouse tonight, and they will take the next day's flight back to the company.

When they returned to the courtyard to rest, Bill Gates and Paul Allen did not rest immediately.

Instead, they got together and talked quietly about some personal topics.

"Am I right?" Some people are born to interpret success', Roland must have discovered Apple's growth point, otherwise, Steve would not have directly called it stop, and he also agreed with my idea of the Internet of Everything, and from his current operation, he must have found that Yahoo, a portal, may not be a content interface, so he will choose to cash out. ”

"Even if you're right, what's the use? We still don't know what Roland found. ”

"I don't know, it doesn't matter, just watch him do it, and then follow the investment? If you can spend money to buy it, you don't do it yourself. ”

"You mean, I made a mistake with this baht proposal?"

"How is it possible, I think it's good, what can he do with all that money? There are no billions of funds, in the field of science and technology or the Internet, it is not even a splash, let him take the start-up capital for development, if we think it is good, we will follow it directly, if it does not meet the company's positioning, then give up. ”

"Then Yahoo still buys it?"

"Of course, although Roland thinks that the portal may not be a content interface, but what if he is wrong? I think he's interesting, but that doesn't mean I agree with every one of his approaches, like Pixar and Marvel, I don't agree with that kind of thinking, I stick to myself, he doesn't have the money to work on several projects at the same time, but Microsoft has the money to take on billions of mistakes. ”

"Okay, so this time, that's it?"

"That's it, you can help him take the lead."

While Bill Gates and Paul Allen were muttering secretly, Jobs did not wash up and sleep, but sat on the floor and meditated for more than an hour, and when he opened his eyes, he didn't care about the current time, but directly dialed the phone number of the CEO of Pixar.

"You're doing a good job, Roland likes you, keep up the good work."

What？

The incoherent words woke up the Pixar CEO in a daze.

After glancing at the caller number, 10,000 drafts rushed through my heart in an instant.

Hold the grass!

Boss, are you crazy?

Calling in the big evening just to compliment us on a good job?

When Toy Story was a big hit, we didn't have that kind of treatment!

Also, Who is Roland?

Could it be...... Roland Allen?

Just when the CEO of Pixar was stunned by Jobs's neurotic move, Jobs didn't care so much and continued to order, "I remember the toy figure of "Toy Story", right? ”

"Give him three full sets."

"Be careful, get all the staff to sign it."

"The role corresponding to the voice actor also needs to be signed."

"I'll get things done tomorrow."

"You send it over personally."

"That's it, hang up."

Are you insane?

When the CEO of Pixar heard the beep sound coming from the earpiece, he felt as if he was possessed by an ugly monster.

Old Man Ning called over in the middle of the night, just to ask me to give gifts to others overnight?

Who are you?

You're Steve Jobs!

It doesn't matter if you create Apple, get kicked out, buy Pixar, and return to Apple......

Aren't you all scolding the air?

Why did you suddenly remember to give a gift to someone today?

The point is, your old man hasn't made it clear which Roland is that Roland!

If Jobs really heard such a complaint, then the CEO of Pixar should be replaced tomorrow.

Aside from Roland Allen, what other Roland do you know who deserves my gift?

I don't have any eyesight!

As for why you give gifts......

It's actually quite simple.

It's not that he Jobs likes Roland, he doesn't want to please Roland, and he doesn't want to use Pixar to seduce Roland, but he is very interested in Roland's ideas......

Roland sees audio music as Apple's new growth point?

This kind of idea that heroes see and feel the same way is the root of wanting to communicate seriously with Roland.

It's like when Bill Gates and Paul Allen were asked to help solve the Apple graphics image problem.

Consistent topics are the premise for Jobs to make friends.

Of course, appreciation is appreciation, curiosity is curiosity, and you want him to take the initiative to go to the guy who has only met once?

It's impossible!

I give gifts now, just for the elders to fulfill the wishes of the juniors.

As for the rest?

Shouldn't you come to Apple and thank me in person after you receive a gift?

And then we're going to talk about something else......

To put it bluntly, he is what Bill Gates calls an aggressive genius.

He has a lot of wild ideas, he is focused when it comes to products, and he is cautious when it comes to friends.

Guarding his territory cautiously and trusting no one.

Because he was, deceived.

And that deception caused him to lose his son, Apple.

Whether it was a simple conversation between Bill Gates and Paul Allen, or a nerve-wracking phone call from Steve Jobs, Roland didn't know these things, and on the way home, he leaned back in his seat and laughed all the time.

He hadn't been happier in a long time.

The last time was last year, when I was having dinner with those Wall Street bigwigs.

The last time was when I finalized the script of the "Spider-Man" trilogy with the truck driver and got "Titanic" by the way.

In fact, with the accumulation of wealth and the improvement of status, the things that can make him happy are gradually decreasing.

At first, he would be happy to get Home Alone, excited to get Terminator 2, and spit out to meet Spielberg and the trucker, but now......

It doesn't matter to him what the project is.

I make movies, that's just what I want to make.

In the beginning, he would be happy to meet Ronald Perelman, excited to meet Karl Icahn, and regretful that Warren Buffett didn't come to the party, but now......

What a big guy is for him, that is, a person.

If you hug your thighs too much, you will become your thighs.

For a long time, Roland in the eyes of outsiders is actually a salted fish.

Even he thinks so.

Unlike those actors who strive for progress, Roland does not seek awards.

Unlike those entrepreneurs who have dreams, Roland only has acquisitions in his eyes.

Unlike those traversers who want to compete with the heavens, Roland can't wait to finish it all step by step.

With the memories of his past life and the start of Tianhu, Roland feels that he is already very salty, and now......

The idea of dismembering Sonny excites him......

If it is said that the Big Six help Kate rush to the Olympics, it is the simplest exchange of interests.

Now, he feels that his idea is worthy of being called a combination of vertical and horizontal.

Although I don't know if all this can be achieved.

But just thinking about it all made him feel so refreshed.

It turns out that he is not a salted fish, he can still think of something seriously!

This discovery of the self exhilarates him more than anything else!

It was in this state of 'we ordinary people, I'm so happy today', even though it was already three o'clock in the morning when I went home and washed, Roland still played happily for nearly an hour.

When he fell asleep with an excited smile, Kate carefully got up from the bed, poked Roland's cheek with her index finger to make sure he was asleep, and then wrapped herself in her pajamas and left the bedroom.

Take your steps, go downstairs slowly, push open the door of your home, and the cold moonlight will be sprinkled all over the earth.

Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning, full of stars.

There are few lights and few pedestrians.

The oncoming breeze ruffled her hair, making her already restless heart even more restless.

Looking at the familiar street scene, she sighed with her hands in her pockets, turned her head to look indoors, the experience of the past year and a half, made her feel a little unreal, sitting on the rattan chair in the yard on weekdays, a strangeness, welling up in her heart.

"Hey......"

"Who the hell are you?"

The words came out quietly, looking at the villa towering in front of her, her eyes gradually blurred.

When I first knew Roland, he was an actor.

Later, when he learned about Roland, he was a student of Spielberg.

When Jurassic Park made history in a neurotic way, he was the youngest A+list in Hollywood.

After the birth of "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Shawshank Redemption", he was the most successful boss in Hollywood in the midst of social upheaval.

When "Titanic" was in preparation, he was News Corp's father.

At the Berlin Film Festival, he was the father of the uncrowned king.

When Yahoo went public, he was the most successful investor in Internet companies.

After "Spider-Man" broke the record, the financial predator who turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain would also call him dear.

thought that a net worth of hundreds of millions was the limit, but two billion assets have made him one percent.

originally thought that the investment of 400 million was just for fun, but half a year later, the richest man in the world had already sat with him and talked about Silas, and the other party estimated Roland's company at 500 million with one mouth.

If her childhood dream is to be an actress, when she grows up, she hopes to be recognized by the world as an actor.

Now, she finds that everything she pursues is so insignificant.

A-level scripts?

Isn't this thing like a cabbage for Roland, you can take it if you want?

Recognized by the world?

As long as she is still standing with Roland, others dare not say no.

Those powerful film critics are a grandson in front of Roland.

Because the main channel for film critics to survive also wants to call him Dad.

She had always felt that Roland had no spiritual pursuits.

Or, his level is limited, and he is still at the stage of public satisfaction, and he doesn't want to be recognized by his peers at all.

And now......

She has seen clearly that it is not that Roland does not want to be recognized by his peers, but that he can decide whether his peers recognize it or not.

In the case of 'I say you have to like me, you have to like me', what is peer recognition?

There was no mental pleasure at all.

It's better to kill a few companies.

When she felt that Roland was on the first layer, Roland was already on the fifth layer looking down on the beings.

The reason why he is still filming is because he still likes movies, and he doesn't shoot them for some pursuits.

Actually, it's a terrible fact.

It was terrible for her to feel that she was not worthy of Roland at all.

If the members of the old Qian family she knows also have seven emotions and six desires, and they also have their own pursuits, then their realm and means are not many grades different from Roland, who was born as a commoner.

Although they are both capable of money, those old money will only conquer everything with money.

And Roland, before he could throw the coin, the opponent had already admitted defeat.

Kate thought she had dug up a treasure boy, but now......

She felt as if she had found the next Bill Gates.

Yes, she wants an Oscar, but that thing is nothing compared to the tens of billions of assets that may exist.

It was this insurmountable gap that gave her a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

Although Roland was alive in front of her, all this was too unreal.

And just as she was thinking wildly, she chanted continuously, and suddenly came from inside the house.

"Kate~"

"Kate?"

"Kate?!"

The sound of footsteps sounded suddenly, and at the same time that Kate woke up, Roland, who was only wearing a pajamas, had already appeared at the door, looking at the guy on the side of the rattan chair, his face was full of sleepiness, and he frowned, and wondered: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Why did you come out into the yard at night?"

"Ah......" Kate, who didn't want to confide in her thoughts, waved her hands slightly, her eyes wandering.

When she saw the lawn mowing tools placed in front of her house, she suddenly said, "...... Belch...... I just went to the toilet when I heard some strange noises, then I followed the sound into the kitchen and found a mouse, and after hearing my movement, the mouse was running wildly and I wanted to get rid of it, so ...... I'll be here now......"

“What？” Roland was even more confused, "Mouse? ”

"But we don't fire at home......"

"Ah...... That could have come from David? I just watched it run that way......" Kate's words were a little unnatural, but before the words fell, she thought of something else, and quickly added: "But, it doesn't matter if we don't fire and the rats don't come, right?" Don't you keep a lot of snacks in your kitchen? Lizzie loves the fridge in our kitchen the most. ”

"Is that so?" Roland was still a little strange and glanced towards David's house.

This situation also made Kate want to get over the topic quickly, and after coming to Roland's side, she naturally pushed Roland into the house, and closed the door by the way, "Why did you wake up?" ”

As soon as he said this, Roland didn't think about the mouse, "It's not that you're not here, did I fall out of bed?" ”

As Teacher Xu Scum-Fei said, if you share a bed with your boyfriend and girlfriend for a long time, your posture will change.

Although a year and a half has passed, Roland and Kate are still in the first stage that Teacher Xu said, like a 'day'.

Because of this, every time Roland, who is not honest in sleep, turns over, he has Ketra.

As long as Kate is not there, Roland, who is squeezed by the other party to sleep on the edge of the bed, will most likely be planted on the ground with a clatter.

And this planting, people wake up.

Kate, who was also aware of the situation, was a little embarrassed.

After playing in Greece last year, she forced Roland to sign a series of unequal treaties with herself, as long as your hair is pressed, it is your fault, what quilt is gone, it is your pot, what is allowed to lie there honestly and be a pillow for me...... At that time, she regarded Roland as a powerful insider, and she didn't think about it so much at all.

And now......

"Why don't you sleep in the middle in the future?" Kate made a miraculous mention.

Roland, who was pushed into the house by him, didn't think much about it, and instinctively replied: "It's okay, isn't it just an accident today?" ”

"If you ignore the mouse, I won't fall out of bed......"

"I'm just afraid you'll fall out of bed in the future......" Kate continued.

"Then it's better for me to fall than you......" Roland was pushed upstairs.

"It's me who hurts when I bump it, you bump it, you hurt, you make me hurt too......"

The aggrieved and natural words made Kate stunned for a moment, she knew what Roland meant.

No matter what happened to her, anyway, in the end, Roland had to follow into the water, when Roland followed her heart, she would pat Roland a few times, and if Roland dared to talk back, then she would pinch Roland a few more times.

To put it bluntly, in the lives of the two, it is always Roland who suffers, and this kind of loss was put before, Kate felt normal, and now-"Roland, I won't put other responsibilities on you in the future." ”

What？

Roland, who looked confused, didn't understand what Kate was talking about at all, and when he returned to the house, he also pulled Kate to bed, and after hearing such words, he said directly: "What responsibility is not responsible?" ”

"You're blowing the wind and you're confused, aren't you?"

"What is the responsibility between the two of us? Whoever is willing to bear it will bear it, as long as both parties are happy. ”

"Okay, let's go to sleep, even if you hear the movement of rats in the future, don't go out."

"Especially at four o'clock in the morning, in Los Angeles."

"This kind of behavior of yours makes me think you want to play basketball."

Kate was confused by the inexplicable words, and when Roland lay down on his side and took her into his arms, the solid arms pulled the flying thoughts back, looking at the familiar face, the distant strangeness gradually faded.

When the happy words drilled into her ears, a faint satisfaction welled up in her heart.

Raising his head, he leaned in and pecked Roland on the cheek.

Just when Roland frowned and opened his eyes, thinking that Kate's behavior tonight was very strange, Kate took the lead in retracting again, and raised her hand to climb Roland's back, and her thighs rested on Roland's waist, "Sleep." ”

Oh...... Goodnight kiss......

When Roland heard this, he closed his eyes again, and when his breathing gradually stabilized, Kate, who was not asleep, opened his eyes again.

Looking at the sleeping man, she bit her lower lip lightly and laughed.

Oscar is just a career, Roland is life.

If Roland is an industry boss, then giving up is regret at most.

But he's not.

Although the outside world still thinks that Roland is just a Hollywood supergiant, Kate thinks he is the next Bill Gates.

The future richest man in the world is lying next to her, and she gives up, which is not regret, but crazy.

Many people say that love is everything.

But with money, there is love.

The point is that she didn't take a fancy to Roland's money before she took a fancy to him as a person.

Instead, he first took a fancy to Roland, only to find out that he was rich.

And in the case of two lovers, she feels that the current state is already the perfection that everyone envies.

Roland does have some 'vices', he can't control his mouth, sometimes he wants to smoke and drink, but when he really smokes and drinks, it's in front of her; he can't control his eyes, sometimes he just wants to see beautiful women, but when he really looks at beautiful women, he can't be interested in flesh and bones; he can't control his brain, sometimes he just likes to complain, but when he really complains, as long as she deliberately murders him a few times, Roland has already confessed to shutting up......

It looked like Roland was a victim.

But Kate knows that this is the most casual of all.

It seems boring, but—

"You're so nice."

looked at the sleeping Roland and whispered, and then Kate lowered her head and drilled her little head into Roland's arms, "I love you." ”

"I listen to you."

"I'm not an actor."
