Chapter 265: Cisco
Seeing Eric nod, Chris breathed a sigh of relief and said: "However, Eric, if, I mean, if you can ensure that the fireflies can develop as fast as they are now, then it is better not to go public. After many companies have been listed for many years, they will try their best to privatize. Because the listing can get a lot of financing, it also means more responsibility and risk. Take Hollywood, almost all major movie companies have encountered malicious. The acquisition, the most recent was in 1984, Disney was maliciously attacked by Sol Steinberg, and finally Disney spent $ 325 million to redeem 11.1% of the shares in Steinberg, knowing that Disney’s market value at that time Less than $2 billion. More than $300 million in cash has made Disney feel awkward and has to give up family-run management. Michael Eisner is the helm of the company."
Speaking of this, Chris smiled and said: "Of course, it also proves that Disney made a very correct decision at that time, which is a blessing in disguise. But not every company has this kind of good luck, the fireflies are now developing. So quickly, once listed, it will cause more embarrassment."
Eric listened patiently and nodded from time to time. When Chris finished, Eric had already made up his mind, and the fireflies would never be listed.
"Chris, you said that if the fireflies have never been listed, is that okay?"
"Of course," Chris didn't want to say, "Most of the company's listing is to get more development funds. In my opinion, fireflies don't lack money, why should they go public?"
Two people were chatting, and Jeffrey walked out of the kitchen and greeted the two to prepare for dinner.
Eric also saw Chris's girlfriend in the restaurant. The name is Emily Brighton, a tall figure, blond blue eyes. The dress is very fashionable, and the introduction of Eric knows that the other is a vice president of Brighton Clothing. According to the girl's last name and the name of the clothing company. Coupled with the age of the girl can not be started from scratch, do not guess also know that the other party must be the owner of this clothing company.
Emily Brighton talked more than Chris, and I saw Eric’s small scream, which was a fan, and said that he liked Eric’s movie. The dinner table not only introduced the detailed experience that Chris and I knew, but also kept Aniston as the spokesperson of their fashion company.
Aniston's enthusiasm for Emily Brighton doesn't know how to shirk it. He can only look for Eric for help. Although Xiao Yan is still only a TV actor, she has already made a name for herself with a "Friends". The fashion company of Emily Brighton is not famous. Aniston had some identity if he ran to endorsement.
Before I waited for Eric to open, Chris noticed Aniston's embarrassment and took the initiative to explain: "Amy, quietly eating? Your company is too small. Now the second-line star is a spokesperson. I think it is enough." ""
Emily, who heard this, didn't want to, and blamed: "I still don't blame you. If you didn't confuse the listing, the three factories in our company in Florida are now built. There is an order worth $9 million in Asia..."
"How can I blame me? It is obvious that your father is too greedy. The company information was falsely reported."
"It was clearly checked out by you!" Emily revealed the appearance of a wounded deer, blaming: "All companies will do this when they go public, so we can't do it!"
Chris put down the knife and fork in his hand. Raised the voice and retorted: "Don't you know how much your father has falsely reported? Fortunately, I checked it out. If sec detected it, your company has now been fined for bankruptcy."
Emily heard the faint anger in Chris's voice, and narrowed her neck with guilty conscience. He whispered: "Of my father changed it clearly, you still..."
"That was vetoed by Mr. Horkridge. Don't forget that you almost let him lose his job. He didn't pursue it."
Eric is at the same level as Drew and Aniston sitting on his own.
This... seems to be quarreling?
Don't break up on the spot, or else the three of them can be sinful today.
My heart is secretly praying. Sitting on the top of Jeffrey, he slowly coughed twice: "Cough, well. Don't make a noise."
Chris and Emily, who had already entered the state, heard Jeffrey’s voice and immediately woke up. I quickly closed my mouth. In order not to let the scene calm down, Eric took the initiative to provoke the topic, and the atmosphere of dinner gradually became active.
After dinner, Emily pulled Aniston and Drew into the room and said small things, leaving only three big men in the living room.
At this point Eric apologized: "Sorry, Chris, just at the table..."
"Eric, it doesn't matter to you, you don't have to worry about it," Chris shook his head.
Jeffrey also sighed with emotion at the moment: "This is also very good, and occasionally two words. In fact, when Sorina is there, we both often quarrel."
"Dad, don't say those things anymore?"
"Well, I won't say it," Jeffrey knew that his son was good for himself and nodded.
Chatting and chatting, Eric gradually brought the topic to topics that he was interested in: "Chris, are you familiar with Forex trading?"
“I still know a little, but I have not participated in such a project. I am currently working in the securities department.”
"Then you will speculate on foreign exchange, for example, the yen, isn't the yen now a very good appreciation?"
Chris shook his head. "Now the yen has doubled in value. Even if you have money, you can't make much money now."
Eric stunned, and some regretted that the past life did not pay much attention to the history of the Japanese economy. He heard that Chris said that he had to give up, but another huge opportunity has not yet arrived, Eric Road "So, ruble, you don't know about the Soviet ruble?"
Chris advised: "Eric, I think, you are still making movies honestly, and the foreign exchange market is not affordable for anyone. Just like the yen, although the yen has doubled in value over the past few years. However, international hot money has not received the terrorist profits you think in the foreign exchange market. The federal government only makes the Japanese goods lose competitiveness in international trade through the appreciation of the yen, and Japan’s domestic funds and enterprises flee in large numbers. The bubble burst and the economy is stagnant."
"Okay. I mean, don't you find out that the Soviet Union is not going to work now?"
Chris shrugged: "There is indeed such a possibility, but who knows when the Soviet Union will not do it, and even if the Soviet economy collapsed, because the country has imposed a ruble's foreign exchange ratio, we will not intervene."
"Well, you didn't think about such a possibility. The Soviet Union's dozens of joining countries have disintegrated and all restored the capitalist system. At that time, because of the economic turmoil, the ruble will definitely fall, it must be a very good opportunity. right?"
Chris and Jeffrey looked at each other and looked at Eric strangely. After a while, Chris smiled: "Eric. If you throw it out, you will be welcomed by the whole world. If the Soviet Union really disintegrated, then everyone would no longer have to worry about the threat of nuclear war. The big Iraqi bomb that bombed the entire Arctic Circle scared the world."
Eric has some helplessness. Although the upheaval in Eastern Europe has taken place, East and West Germany was unified in August this year, but now it is almost two years away from the disintegration of the Soviet Union in memory. Together with the half-century competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union has been repeatedly vilified. But the strength is unquestionable, and few people will think that such a big Congress will fall apart in just a few months.
"Then let's assume a little better," Eric continued. "If possible, the Soviet Union collapsed. The ruble fell to a large depreciation. At that time, I took out $1 billion to fire the ruble. Leverage, can you turn this money up dozens of times?"
Jeffrey did not respond. Chris looked at Eric with a look of idiots: "Don't say that it is 1 billion, even if you take out 10 billion, if you dare to use more than 100 times leverage, in the kind of financial shock that you said, Maybe I will lose it in a few minutes."
Eric stayed: "That... well, I don't understand this too much."
Chris knows that Eric has never been to the university, just an ordinary high school graduate, so he patiently explained: "Take the 100 times leverage you said. If you invest $1 billion, you can The money is enlarged to a size of 100 billion US dollars for foreign exchange trading. But your $1 billion is only equivalent to 1% of 100 billion, which means that you can withstand a foreign exchange rate of only 1%. Even a currency The trend is falling, because the game between buyers and sellers, the process will also show dramatic ups and downs, as long as the currency rises more than 1% at a certain stage, your money is either 1 billion or 10 billion , will be immediately closed. In general, the foreign exchange market usually uses about 20 to 30 times the leverage, and occasionally some people will risk using 50 times the leverage."
"Amount, okay," Eric grinned and shrugged. "Just when I didn't say it."
Chris and Jeffrey both laughed when they saw Eric’s appearance. Chris added: “The more violent financial turmoil, the lower the leverage used to ensure the safety of funds, the chances are that If you take 1 billion yuan into it, it will be very powerful if you can double it."
Since Forex does not play, Eric feels that it is better to invest in a field that he is familiar with, and he is most familiar with, in addition to movies, only the fastest growing IT industry in the next 20 years.
There are no chances for several major software companies. The Internet has not yet developed, and various network companies have not arrived. On the hardware side, Eric has long remembered Apple, but unfortunately Joe’s future is uncertain, and Apple has not entered the bankruptcy. What else is there?
After a moment of honing, a name flashed out.
Cisco?
Cisco!
Eric slammed his head and almost picked it up in surprise. The previous life was a giant with a market value of $500 billion. (To be continued)
