Chapter 1437

To strengthen the operation of Africa and put aside all other details, the most fundamental core is resources.

Simon happened to have discussed the problem with Janet during the day.

In this world, it seems that many countries are very rich and many people live well, but in fact, this is only a superficial phenomenon.

Resources are never enough.

No matter how much layout the Westeros have made in intelligence or military, the fundamental support for all this is money, and what money represents is actually resources.

Simon is well aware of the trend of the U.S. economy in the next 20 years. The real industry continues to be hollow, led by finance. Moreover, Simon also has its own advantage, that is, super fault tolerance.

Even if the plan fails, Simon's personal wealth has shrunk to one tenth. He is still the richest man in the world. Moreover, the probability of this situation is very low. Just like the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis created by Wall Street was finally borne by the U.S. government and the whole world, the current Westeros system can also transfer the losses to the United States or the whole world as long as Simon wants.

……

After the housewarming party on November 21, everything continued.

Even though the high-altitude apron on the Westeros building has been opened, there is still little news in the media about the Westeros quietly moving into the Westeros building.

However, many things have begun to change.

On Monday, November 23, Thanksgiving week, Simon discussed some ideas generated over the weekend with James Leibold and other relevant core executives of Westeros system, and began to formulate some phased detailed implementation plans.

The most important point is to accelerate the reduction of shares in some core enterprises such as danilis and igrit.

Just like the gate students in those years, cash out the stocks that seem to be huge but are actually only book value, and then turn them into diversified investments that are easier to realize. The difference is that the scale of relevant stocks held by Simon is too large. In addition, Simon is not short of money. What he lacks is appropriate investment opportunities.

After discussion, we have preliminarily drawn up a replacement plan.

Use Simon's core enterprise stocks of Westeros system to replace the stocks of other excellent enterprises all over the world, as long as those who are willing to exchange. The biggest advantage of this is that it eliminates the steps of cashing out and then buying. The seemingly simple two steps often mean market turbulence. In particular, each reduction of Simon's core enterprise stocks will inhibit the rise of stock prices.

Simon occasionally suppresses the rapid rise of the stock price by reducing his holdings, but on the other hand, it is impossible to smash the stock price directly because of too much reduction.

Another key point is that stock replacement, when properly operated, hardly needs to pay tax.

Simon is a person who attaches great importance to efficiency. After finalizing the plan, he released the news on the same day. Then, even if there are not many people who can directly contact Simon, his private phone was exploded.

No way, people with a clear eye can see that after the Southeast Asian financial crisis last year, the US dollar returned, and the US stock market began to recover rapidly in less than a year after the short downturn after the NASDAQ crash in March 1997, especially technology stocks. With the rapid development of companies such as igrit, tincobell, AOL and Verizon, Share prices also began to soar again.

In this case, it is very cost-effective to exchange the stocks with slow growth or even lack of growth potential for the fast-growing new technology stocks in the hands of Westeros system.

As for bubbles?

Of course, we all know that there is a bubble in Nasdaq, but human nature is the case. Many people think that they can avoid bubbles and leave early.

Then, after being confirmed by the senior management of Westeros system, the media began to follow up, and even Washington paid attention to it. Mr. President personally made a call with Simon to confirm that someone didn't want to smash the plate, which relieved him. Even after the central election, all the most important election checkpoints in Clinton in the past eight years have passed, It is impossible to have another term, but I still hope that the new technology market can start and end well in its term of office.

Therefore, in the following few days, even if the specific replacement scheme was not clear and needed to be explored in the actual operation, Westeros quickly received an application for stock replacement trading with a total value of more than $30 billion.

November 26, Thanksgiving.

The Simon family continued to spend their time in New York, and Sofia ficy came from Europe. The family was bustling.

After Thanksgiving, the time will soon enter December.

This past week, in addition to the seething Westeros system stock exchange plan, a smaller one, and igrit, this Monday, it also launched a role-playing online game from South Korea, "wind country", whose name is actually the same as that of China. It will remove the logo of the second part, because it is not necessary.

Relying on the huge user platform of igrit than danilis and the strong preferential activities in the early stage of operation, the number of active users of wind land in North America quickly exceeded 2.7 million in just three days before Thanksgiving on Thursday.

The amazing achievements make the game industry exclaim again that the era of online games is coming.

Just like the Japanese stand-alone Korean network, the development of the science and technology tree of the game industry does not absolutely point to one direction. With a series of online games that constantly test the water, Simon has made a strong response in North America. Simon also has to doubt whether the stand-alone game industry will be seriously squeezed because of his own strategy.

However, Simon has no intention of changing the development plan of his own game console.

In other words, the current westero system has a high enough fault tolerance rate. If it turns out that the direction is wrong in the future, reduce the investment. After all, from the beginning, Simon did not put all his eggs in one direction, or even put more energy in the other direction.

……

After Thanksgiving, the second box office week of Thanksgiving from November 20 to November 26 ends.

The superposition of new films in the past two weeks has easily exceeded $200 million at the North American box office this week.

There is not much suspense. As a super heavy sequel, "Mummy 2" easily reached the top of the box office in the first week of release, and the film earned $71.34 million in the first seven days of the first week. Obviously, there is a significant gap from the more than $90 million in the first week of "collision between heaven and earth" last week. However, in the same sentence, "collision between heaven and earth" is only a special case. The box office of "Mummy 2" can exceed 70 million in the first week, which means that there is great hope for the local 200 million, which has been very successful.

The second place was unexpected and expected. The box office of the next week was US $51.29 million, and the cumulative box office of the two weeks was US $144.56 million.

Unexpectedly, it was because the white dove Wu's new film "American police officer", which had attracted the same attention before, didn't even get the runner up.

It is expected that "American police officer", as a traditional action thriller similar to the theme of "the end of the world", even if the reputation is not bad, white dove Wu plays normally, but the problem is that under the background of visual wonders such as "Mummy 2" and "the collision between heaven and earth", the audience is obviously more willing to enter the cinema to watch a CG visual feast.

The trend cannot be reversed.

In any case, with a huge investment of US $100 million, paramount spared no effort in publicity and distribution. American police officer finally occupied the third place, with a revenue of US $39.17 million in the first seven days of the first week.

It's not a box office fiasco, but it has absolutely nothing to do with success.

What you can see, perhaps, is that in the first week of the film with $39.17 million, in 1998, it seems that there is finally a film with a box office of more than 100 million from other studios that have nothing to do with danilis entertainment.
