On the eve of the Oscars, Plutos Investment Co., Ltd. officially began to buy shares in many important technology stocks such as Apple and Google. stock market investment.

Are you optimistic about apples? The launch of Apple has continued its own curse of new products - once a new product is launched, the stock price will inevitably fall, which is a very interesting phenomenon. But even so, in the long run, this product obviously has a dramatic effect on Apple's stock price. As for whether it can become a product of this level, it seems that it has this potential!

However, this is not enough!

That's not enough for Plutos to change its strategy, if their anticipation of the financial crisis doesn't change radically. It's impossible for Apple to make a similar move with a new product.

Therefore, the only reason is that Plutos has always insisted that the United States and the world will usher in a financial turmoil, and it has been shaken!

This ignited the entire world of capital, and then quickly spread to politics and public opinion.

Both Plutos and Daniel's team remained tight-lipped and refused to give an accurate answer to this incident.

No matter how the spokesperson of Plutos was asked, there was only one sentence in response, "Our investment is based on the company's business strategy and close observation of the market."

Strictly speaking, this is an answer like a panacea.

However, the reporters, who were suffering from not getting a direct response, had to dig out a lot of meanings from it.

"The Wall Street Journal" said that "Plutos's stance on the market crisis has undergone a major reversal, and the stock market has invested heavily..."

"USA Today" said, "The possibility of a financial crisis is further reduced? At least Plutos Investments thinks so. The day before yesterday, Plutos began to acquire shares of companies such as Apple in the open market, the amount involved dozens of Tens of billions of dollars are a lot of money.”

The media are like flies without their heads, but many other people can make calls directly to Daniel's mobile phone.

Like Steve Jobs.

"What do you want to do with Apple?"

There was no doubt in Jobs's tone, but he was full of anger, whether it was Daniel who bought Apple or sold Apple before. Buying Apple again now has a massive impact on Apple's business, which Jobs hated. He is a pure technocrat, and he wants to rely on products to conquer the world. As for the financial markets, he doesn't resist, but definitely shouldn't have a major impact on the company's mainstream direction, but right now, it's just Plutos. It has affected the external environment of the entire Apple company several times.

Daniel is a little sorry to be honest. For this serious technical paranoia, it is difficult for him to convince himself that "the capital market is the rule".

Of course, that's it, no more emotions will appear.

"Jobs, Plutos is just making normal investments in the open market, and it won't affect Apple. Especially if you have good enough products."

Jobs was silent for a moment.

Plutos and Google jointly acquired Android, developed an open source mobile operating system, and formed a large-scale Open Mobile Alliance - this is for Apple smartphones, and there is no place for hesitation. But even so. The communication between Jobs and Daniel was relatively gentle.

For Jobs, technically and product competition, he is not worried, nor does he have any special emotions.

But at this moment, his heart was really full of anger. Unfortunately, what Daniel said was like a basin of cold water pouring directly on his head. Indeed, Plutos is an investment company. Their buying and selling are driven by profit. Facts have also proved that their multiple in and out of Apple is very smart and discerning.

You can't accuse a butcher of killing too much. Of course, it can't stop an investor from choosing the right time to buy or sell.

Jobs finally hung up the phone without a word, and Daniel felt a little regretful. The good relationship he and Jobs had maintained all along can be said to have ended. Jobs is a very stubborn person, and it is difficult to change his impression. But this emotion stayed in Daniel's mind for a short time.

Yes, he respected Jobs and his creativity. But it is absolutely impossible to change his pace because of him.

……

The phone calls of Steve Jobs, Larry Page and others were still expected.

But the second call from Secretary of State Rice surprised him more, and it was indeed a difficult issue.

When Sally took Rice's call in, her tone was a bit special - a boss who can receive a call from the Secretary of State is indeed worthy of Sally's sigh.

"Good morning, ma'am."

"Hello, Daniel. You know the reason for my call today, can you tell me what you think about it?"

Daniel laughed a few times.

In January, he took three days to travel to Davos, Switzerland, to meet with a high-level executive, and to personally listen to Rice at the conference, bragging about the US government's ability to deal with crises and its ability to solve problems. ability. And to assert that there will be no serious financial crisis in the United States, more or less, there are always some people who take encouragement from Rice's firm attitude.

However, when Daniel was participating in a forum, he gently dismantled Rice's desk legs.

"The crisis still has no tendency to improve. As for what form it will take in the end, which industries will it cause to the film industry, and whether it will become a global financial turmoil, there are many Nobel economists here today, and they must understand More. Plutos's view of the future of the world economy has not changed. We can see that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in the United States..."

With this eloquent talk, Rice basically did not meet Daniel in Davos.

As a person with a pivotal position in the country, and in early 2008, before the final battle of the election year, Rice almost refused to meet Daniel. It's really astonishing. Of course, considering the current pressure from the US government and Daniel's tendency to express his attitude, Rice feels that he is not worth fighting for, which is also a possible reason.

At that time, one of the most common points of entry for the financial media from all over the world was "the difference between the super-rich and the secretary of state" - the financial media also needs exposure and sales. Daniel is definitely their most popular news material character. This time, the opponent is the most powerful country in the world - the Secretary of State of the United States.

This is so cool! No one will give up.

Experts, scholars, domestic, multinational... In short, countless discussions, debates, predictions, etc. are revolving around this disagreement.

With such a "bad" influence, it's understandable that Rice has had little contact with Daniel since then -- but the Republican government has never thought about putting on Daniel's shoes. Sneakers for a super-rich who just has a different opinion? You'll never want to govern again. The so-called grief of a rabbit dying and a fox being hurt, the big conglomerates and the millionaires are bound to have major dissatisfaction with the Republican Party. And, this year is the year of change. After the new government came to power, the problem naturally continued.

In fact, the Bush administration is not looking forward to it, even if there is a crisis, it will be after he leaves office.

But Daniel knew that, against his will, Bush would eventually leave his presidency in a devastating financial crisis.

Because of these well-known reasons, Rice's call today is quite special.

"Ma'am, Plutos' public response is true. This is just a routine investment by us."

"Routine investment of tens of billions of dollars?"

"Size is not a measure of the nature of an investment."

She didn't plan to hang up the phone, she continued to ask, "So, Plutos hasn't changed his position on the financial crisis?"

"It's true. For now, Plutos's work is still following this position."

Daniel's words completely vanished the little hope in Rice's heart.

When she got the news of Plutos Investment Company from her assistant, she inevitably had some excitement in her heart - in fact, according to Plutos' size, there was nothing conspicuous in the crisis. Lehman Brothers managed more than $1 trillion in wealth—more than ten times that of Plutoth.

But. Based on the peculiarities of Daniel himself, and the company's excellent track record with investors, it has instead become a focus.

It seems that Plutos has become a weather vane, they think that the financial crisis will break out. So the market has become conservative and worried. This time, they reopened the acquisition of stocks such as Apple, which was also considered a new trend early on-that is, they changed their views on the financial crisis, thinking that the possibility of occurrence is less than the possibility of not happening.

This almost created a shock wave.

Under the impact of the good news, the major stock indexes all experienced a rare and substantial rise-of course, there were still significant declines after the intraday. This has something to do with the market returning to rationality, after all. No matter how good Plutos is, it is still so big, and it can only be a company that can be referred to, not a company that determines the market.

But now, Rice is the first to get the truth from Daniel, and their views on the financial crisis have not changed. Daniel sincerely hopes that the US government can come up with a way to deal with this tragic wave. It is a pity that the U.S. government has enough energy and lack of energy, and even does not know if it really has enough energy. Daniel's hope is doomed to fail.

This action of Plutos triggered a landslide and tsunami-like feedback in all aspects, which was expected by Daniel and Raymond.

The stock prices of the stocks they mainly bought have risen sharply, and they have not slowed down their actions-buying in the open market has this drawback, and Plutos has long been prepared.

……

Daniel was in and out of the Wall Street circle, and the entertainment circle watched with great interest.

Whether it is the previous acquisition of Marvel, or major news such as sweeping the Golden Globes, there is still pressure for insiders, whether it is the media or peers. After all, the emergence of a giant in the industry will have a more or less impact on anyone, but it is more obvious in some people. For example, Leonardo, his "defection" to dd Pictures and Daniel is a clear change, and another example is the sudden emergence of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association-Golden Eagle Award, which has brought them a great sense of crisis.

Theo Gingma has also received a lot of criticism within the association - when the Social Age Public Choice Awards began to be held, Theo Gingma became a member of the organizing committee, but now the Golden Eagle Award has been pressed. Of course, he will not be better than the influence of the Golden Globe Awards. This is a clear error of judgment. At that time, because of the different ways of awarding the two awards, Gingma thought that the competition would not be very strong. Of course, he still believed that if the Golden Eagle Award wanted to gain enough influence, at least ten Years - at that point, he didn't even know where he was, why bother Daniel **** over a possible consequence.

However, he obviously miscalculated. In this special year of 2008, the strike, the further rapid development of social media, and the control of public opinion by young people all contributed to the Golden Eagle Award surpassing the Golden Globe Award in indicators such as star lineup, discussion, and popularity. condition.

Although it is not objective to say that the Golden Eagle Award has surpassed the Golden Globe Award now, but everyone does see a possibility, that is, the future of the Golden Eagle Award is limitless.

In addition to Leonardo, the Golden Globe Awards and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the media industry, such as the media industry, is a little more secretive~www.novelmt.com~ However, it is definitely not without influence, especially Daniel's social company , and the traditional media business has a large part of the competition.

Therefore, when reporting on these issues, the media are more involved. But when it was reported that Plutos bought Apple stock, they were all relatively lighthearted. Even if the butterfly wings will fan them, but now they can comfortably be a bystander, pointing and chatting happily.

The "New York Times" headlined "Inside and outside Hollywood, Daniel Shakes America!", and came up with a hodgepodge of news, summed up a series of recent events in general, and put them in. The final conclusion was not without emotion:

"At the beginning of 2008, Daniel single-handedly quelled the worrisome strike, and immediately led the works of "Black Swan" and "Juno" to sweep the awards season. Then, he acquired the comic giant and entered the field of superhero movies. His intentions are revealed in front of the world, and Daniel's picture of the future of dd Pictures is slowly unfolding... And now, when Plutos Investment Company changed its previous position and entered the stock market again, it immediately attracted countless attention and speculation, There is also no doubt that Daniel's field has a huge influence.

Inside or outside of Hollywood, at the beginning of 2008, Daniel **** woke up from the cold winter. To be continued.)

Another month has passed, and the progress is a little slow. . .
