King of Hollywood Chapter 2: MJ
Chapter 2 mj
Obviously, Adrian does not plan to change his mind, although he does not care about the position of the richest man in the world-if he really wants the scenery, he will not secretly cash out, Microsoft’s 5% share was originally divided into two For accounts held, more than 5% are to be reported to the SFC. {Rainbow Literature Network m}WwW. NgWeNXuE. M (the fastest and most stable update, Baidu search) Although Forbes is not a pig killing list, it is not a good thing because it is too swaggering. He was originally a well-known Hollywood miracle director. The attention is enough. The net worth of more than 20 billion is enough for him to enter the top ten of the ranking. This limelight still allows the cover to go out.
However, since there is a chance, why not try to make another profit? In fact, Crowder and the entire group have the same plan. The more money that can flow, the better. Their expansion is far from stopping.
It’s just not easy to accurately predict the date. Although Crowder’s sentence “even those who are prepared can’t be sure when it’s best to shoot,” it’s a bit exaggerated, at least now they should have a bottom line in their minds. , But before that, they were definitely not sure. Even Uncle Anderson can't analyze more information, and people like Buffett have barely touched the IT stock, let alone Adrian and Claude.
In fact, a few days ago, the two who had been paying attention to the stock market started talking about this, but they have not reached an agreement, and today it seems that there will still be no progress.
At this moment, Claude turned the LCD display to Adrian again: "Ed, you look at this news."
Looking at the past, the display hangs on Cisco’s official website, and there is an article in the middle with the name of John Chambers. Although it is a little puzzling, Adrian still looked carefully. It didn’t write much. It was an open letter from Chambers. It first reviewed the development of Cisco and then introduced the achievements achieved in the next few years. And congratulated the company's market value of more than 500 billion, and encourage everyone to create more glories than the old rival Microsoft.
Does this have any special significance? Adrian glanced at Claude, the guy was smug and apparently had reached a conclusion, waiting to read his own joke. After glaring at him, Adrian continued to figure out the open letter, what did this guy see from it? Chambers is very confident, not even aware of the risks involved, is it better than Microsoft? But what does this have to discuss with them... wait! Beyond Microsoft? !
Adrian raised his head sharply to face Claude, Claude smiled slightly.
"When the market value of Cisco exceeds that of general purpose!"
"When Cisco's market value exceeds Microsoft!"
The two spoke at the same time, and Claude froze, but his eyes lit up, and he stretched his fingers and pressed hard in the air: "You are right, Ed, it should be when Cisco surpassed GM. !"
Since the market value of Cisco has exceeded 500 billion, it is not far from Microsoft and GM, so after they surpass Microsoft, they can wait for them to surpass GM before starting, anyway, it will not be much worse. You should know that GE has occupied the first position in the global market capitalization for a long time. Microsoft once surpassed it in 1998, but it was quickly surpassed again. Cisco wants to stabilize Microsoft, and it must also want to Beyond GM, once this is done, everyone will cheer for it and make timely and reasonable judgments about what happened.
"Your vision is always so accurate, Ed." Claude immediately praised this sentence, completely unaware that Adrian will have such a judgment because vaguely remember, Cisco fell into the abyss when the market value is highest, although not The whole process is clear, but now that there is so much information combined, it is not difficult to guess the possibility. Doesn't Claude understand it immediately?
Of course, those who are waiting on Wall Street may not want to let Cisco surpass GM, but it is relatively easier to analyze with reference. Generally speaking, they began to sneak slowly before then. Shipped, and then let the retailer raise the stock price, and then withdraw with the utmost effort. As long as a trace can be captured, Adrian and Claude can follow suit.
Rao is the case, they don’t dare to carelessly, as mentioned earlier, the date of the futures must be very accurate, there is an excellent example. Quantum Fund predicted that the bubble might burst at the beginning of 1999, and then began shorting at that time. Naturally, needless to say, Soros lost a lot of money and is now ready to retreat to the second line.
Soon, the calculation date is coming. On January 31, 2000, Cisco’s market value reached 520.5 billion in the eye-catching. It exceeded GM and became the world’s first. Chambers published an article on the official website again. To celebrate the great achievements made by the company. Then, on the first morning after the weekend, billions of dollars of sell orders for leaders of IT stocks such as Cisco, Microsoft, and Dell were thrown out at the same time, and the stock market fell suddenly!
However, the decline is not large. Market analysts on Wall Street claim that this is just a correction in the stock market, so although investors are worried, they don’t think much about it. But immediately the news about the Federal Court’s ruling on Microsoft’s monopoly came again, and then all kinds of negative news. The stock market fell again. This time, the dam gate was opened. Many people have not responded. The stock held in hand has shrunk by half! Panic-stricken, they also immediately started a panic sell-off, only a few days, most of the IT stocks became waste paper.
Many suicide sites in the United States-the Golden Gate Bridge and the Empire State Building-also welcomed new guests. Fortunately, this bubble burst was limited to it stocks. It is relatively mild, even if there are not many suicides, There is no such thing as dumplings on Black Friday.
As for Adrian, he didn’t take it seriously after the stock market began to fall. Facts proved that he and Claude judged correctly, especially the multi-billion dollar stocks of Cisco, Microsoft, and Dell were simultaneously After the throw, the ending is already doomed. All he has to do now is to wait for the funds to return, and the rest is Reggett's thing.
Ten-fold leveraged stock index futures plus 10 billion of capital, it is not difficult to make another 10 billion. Adrian even wanted to use 30-fold leverage at the beginning, so it invested less money, or even only a few Billion. However, as his financial advisor, Regert strongly opposed it. Although the amount of capital invested is small, the risk is also greater. Only Xiaoboda will use 30 times the leverage. Now that the funds are sufficient, why not take the risk? Investment banks and funds falling on this are not without them.
Claude, who has always supported him, also expressed opposition here. Adrian naturally gave up this plan. Anyway, it was a little longer. Anyway, this fund will not be invested in the company for the time being, so as to avoid other people’s hearts. Scruples.
"Congratulations, Ed." In the office, Claude raised his glass to congratulate Adrian. The amber liquid was very dazzling.
"Congratulations to you too, Crow, our career will take us to a new level." Adrian raised his glass and touched him. At this time, the first large-scale sell-off had just passed and many people were still watching.
For these people, Adrian just shrugged. Since speculation, it is necessary to make preparations for losing money at any time and to control their greed. Watching the stocks continue to rise, so I can’t bear to let go and think about a little higher. Take action, and once you fall, you want to go back a little, and then you can take action. Even such innocent individuals are not worthy of sympathy, not to mention the guys who put all their net worth into it.
The most typical example is Britney’s parents. The 0.01% Cisco stock that Adrian gave them is now worth 50 million. When did the two greedy guys have so much wealth? If one mind wants to get more, almost all the property is put into it.
However, on the day Cisco's market capitalization reached its peak, Adrian gave them a call to allow Spears to immediately sell off. Although he did not elaborate, it was just such a sentence, but Spears still had a little bit of mind. Although hesitated, he immediately threw out the stock after the stock market fell.
In fact, it’s too late at this time, and 50 million stocks don’t seem to be big in the total value, but who will take over once the bubble bursts? Even if Spears made a decisive decision, he only cashed out five or six million dollars with her wife, and everything else was done, which made people cry.
Adrian originally planned to say nothing, watching them fall into the abyss, but think about the couple’s skin, once they become shoes-free, even if they can be dealt with in time, there may be something wrong. . Now let them go, they have to think about it even if they want to toss, and Adrian is even more scrupulous.
Okay, this is all going to happen in the future, let’s go back to the present.
"Talk about your plan, Ed." Claude said after sipping a glass of whiskey.
"Now?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.
"Of course, I can prepare early." Claude shrugged.
"You should have guessed it, Crow." Adrian looked at him. "In the production and distribution of movies and TV and TV broadcasts, we currently do not have much room for improvement, so where is the next direction, As you must be clear, unless you are not qualified."
"Of course I know," Claude laughed, "I'm just curious, what your goal will be, although there is not much choice."
"What else can it be, Universal Music!" Adrian gave the answer.
Since film, television and radio are temporarily unmovable, expansion on records has become an inevitable thing. Although several major record companies will start to merge in a few years, they will only take advantage of the opportunities. Have a big enough voice, so Adrian aimed at Universal Records.
Universal Records and Universal Pictures are not two children born from a mother, but they are not all irrelevant. The predecessor of Universal Records was a record, which was originally a concert booking company. After its development, it merged with Universal Pictures in the 1960s and then sold it to Panasonic in the 1980s. In the mid-1990s, A Records was acquired by Seagram, and Universal Pictures was also acquired by Seagram after turning around, and the two companies came together again.
Sigram therefore changed the name of a to Universal Records, but unfortunately Universal Pictures had to sell it to the media because of financial problems. Despite this, Seagram still did not extinguish the idea of developing media, so he later acquired Polycom and Universal Records merger, as well as several entertainment companies.
But they have not learned the lessons of blind expansion, plus they have not been able to completely get rid of the predicament that Adrian and Claude had created for the acquisition of Universal Pictures, Seagram has now shown signs of bankruptcy. The opportunity is so good, with a lot of money in hand, it naturally became the goal of the media.
Although EMI is also suitable, and bmg, Sony Records, Warner Records may not be able to start, but it is not more convenient to merge Polygram Global Records, and although the n records and island that should have been acquired by Polygram Records have been acquired by the media, Universal Records still occupies a large market, if you can win and integrate with its m, become the world's largest record company is not difficult.
"Again, Universal Pictures, Universal Records, isn't it exactly a pair?" Adrian smiled and spread his hands, then snapped his fingers, "However, before that, one thing must be done."
"What idea do you have?" Crowder raised an eyebrow.
"A... a big plan." Adrian said with a chuck under his chin.
In the quiet woods, the sun shines a little light through the evergreen leaves, and there is no feeling of coldness. Rao is so, still has a parasol and pestle on the ground, isolating these sunlight.
"This club is very quiet, there are not so many annoying paparazzi, so once I need to relax my mind, I will come here to sit, drink some coffee, and breathe some fresh air." Standing outside the parasol and watching the distance The scenery of Adrian said to turn around, "This world is still very beautiful, it is worth fighting for-what do you say?"
The middle-aged man in his forties who sits under a parasol is a little absent-minded. He has a thick curly black hair, wearing a suit that covers the entire body, wearing a pair of sunglasses, and his skin is a little dark , But with an abnormal white, but occasionally when he turned his head, he could see the white spot under his neck.
"We never seem to have a deal, Mr. Adrian." The other party said coldly.
"Yes, but the two popular female singers of my record company are your admirers, mj." Adrian walked over with a smile and sat down next to the round table.
Yes, the middle-aged man he met today with a parasol and sunglasses in the woods was the same man who once ruled the music scene in the 1980s and set off countless storms. Childhood troubles, the emperor superstar Michael Jackson, who has huge fans all over the world!
"I know, they are all good singers, but this has nothing to do with your invitation, right?" Michael said unkindly, seemingly wary of Adrian.
Adrian smiled disapprovingly: "We do not have an intersection, but because of this, we can have a more direct and open conversation between us."
He took a sip of coffee and then sat up straight to look at Michael: "I want Elvis and The Beatles in your hands, and some of the copyrights of the recordings made and released by Sony, mj."
After a pause, he added: "2.2 billion US dollars."
Michael raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then rejected the Adrian request: "Many people have asked me this question, Mr. Adrian, but my answer has never changed."
Adrian chuckled: "You are a smart man, mj, the copyright of records that sell Elvis and The Beatles is your most beautiful investment, but you are not so smart at the same time, you seem to be still I didn't understand my situation."
"My situation?" Michael sneered. "Thanks to those shameless journalists and the media, they can pour dirty water on a person to enjoy their ratings. Justice and fairness do not exist for them. What they want to do is to attract the public's attention as much as possible!"
He said he finally stopped here in one breath, and then stretched his hand to pull the neckline to calm down his excitement.
But Adrian shook his head slowly and slowly: "Look, I'm right, don't you? You still don't understand. Or you understand some, but you don't want to admit it."
Michael took off his sunglasses and glared at Adrian. He seemed to want to say something, but he finally endured it: "If all you want to say is this, Mr. Adrian, I think I can say goodbye."
"Do you have any plans to release a new album next year?" Adrian suddenly asked in this way, the gentle smile in the corner of his mouth has never changed, "What would you do if you knew that I was your boss? Find a way to make the album full of bumps in the production process, and use various excuses to delay the promotion, so that the sales of the album are reduced, and then let people declare through the media that you are out of breath, and you can no longer make good music. , You take drugs, you have plastic surgery, you are depraved, you have no medicine to save. Then buy the people around you, and when you leave the dream manor, take two children to go shopping-just shopping, do nothing, as long as Create a sign that a child is coming in-the 95-year-old thing will happen again, and the hype will be more fierce, and even force the police to search the Dream Manor. No one will support you and no one will sympathize with you, even if they can’t send too much Voice, you will only see the mainstream society uttering criticism to you, and then you will be truly decadent and silent, as long as your slightly revealing ideas ~ IndoMTL.com~ will be dispelled, and finally, there will be some surprises..."
Adrian spread his hands. Although he didn’t finish talking, the meaning was already obvious. Michael’s chest fell together, staring at his fists tightly, and he seemed to want to give him a hard look.
"Are you threatening me?" he gritted his teeth and asked.
"No, I'm just reminding you," Adrian shrugged. "You should understand, I'm helping you, mj. The copyright of the record in your hands is only worth 2 billion at most, and I bid 2.2 billion. Very sincere, Sony’s vampires want to sell for 1 billion."
He looked into his eyes: "You are very talented, mj, I admire those talented people, but you are also a black man, so when you have achieved such a great achievement, you still have such a fortune , It is bound to cause others to covet. You are like a child holding a bundle of US dollars but walking on a lively street, anyone can easily **** the wealth from you, who makes you black? Sell to I’m different. I didn’t let you lose. You also diverted people’s attention and dispelled Sony’s vampires. The extra 200 million will allow you to do more things you want to do. Help more children, why not do it?"
