highly recommended: Seeing Eric nodding, Chris breathed a sigh of relief and added: “But, Eric, if, I mean if you can ensure that Firefly can develop as fast as it is now, then you can’t It is better not to go public. Many companies will go all out to seek privatization after going public for many years. Although going public can get a lot of financing, it also means more responsibilities and risks. Take Hollywood, for example, several major film companies. Almost all of them have encountered hostile takeovers. The most recent one was in 1984, when Disney was maliciously attacked by Saul Steinberg. In the end, Disney spent $325 million to redeem 11.1% of Steinberg’s shares. You know At that time, Disney’s market value was less than 2 billion US dollars. With more than 300 million US dollars in cash, Disney had to give up family management and hired Michael Eisner as the helm of the company.”

said Here, Chris smiled and said: “Of course, it has now proved that Disney made a very correct decision at that time, which was a blessing in disguise. With this kind of good luck, Firefly is developing so rapidly now, and once it goes on the market, it will cause more coveting.”

Eric listened patiently, nodding from time to time.

By the time Chris finished speaking, Eric had made up his mind that Firefly would never go on the market.

“Chris, do you think it’s okay if Firefly never goes public?”

“Of course,” Chris said without thinking: “Most companies go public to get more development funds, in my opinion. Come on, Firefly is not short of money. Why do you want to go public?” The

two were chatting.

Jeffrey came out of the kitchen.

Greet the two to prepare for dinner.

In the restaurant, Eric also met Chris’s girlfriend, named Emily Brighton. She was tall, blond and blue-eyed. She was very fashionably dressed. In the introduction, Eric knew that the other party was a family named Brighton. Vice President of Dayton Clothing Company.

According to the girl’s surname and the name of the clothing company, plus the girl’s age, it is impossible to be self-made, and you don’t need to guess.

The other party must be the daughter of the owner of this clothing company.

Emily Brighton is much more talkative than Chris, and when she saw Eric, she let out a little scream like a movie fan, expressing her love for Eric’s movies.

At the dinner table, they not only introduced the details of their acquaintance with Chris, but also kept encouraging Aniston to be the spokesperson for their fashion company.

Facing Emily Brighton’s enthusiasm, Aniston didn’t know how to shirk, and

could only look at Eric as if asking for help.

Although Xiaoyi Niu is still only a TV actor, she has become famous with one movie.

However, Emily Brighton’s fashion company is not well-known. If Aniston goes to endorse her, she will lose her identity.

Before Eric could speak, Chris noticed Aniston’s embarrassment and took the initiative to relieve the siege: “Amy, how about a quiet meal? Your company is too small. Now that second-tier star is the spokesperson, I think it’s enough. After

hearing this, Emily didn’t want to, and said angrily: “It’s not all your fault. If you hadn’t messed up the listing, our company’s three factories in Florida would have been built by now. , and the $9 million order from Asia…”

“How can you blame me, it’s obviously because your father was too greedy, he falsely reported company information and was found out.”

“It was clearly found out by you!” Emily showed the appearance of an injured deer and scolded: “All companies do this when they go public, why can’t we!”

Chris put down the knife and fork in his hand, raised his voice and retorted: “Don’t you still Do you know how much your father has falsely reported? Fortunately, I found out, if found out, your company has been fined and bankrupt. ”

Hearing the faint anger in Chris’s voice, Emily shrank her neck guiltily, and muttered in a low voice, “My father obviously changed it later, but you still…”

“That was rejected by Mr. Hawkridge, Don’t forget that you almost made him lose his job, it’s good that he didn’t pursue it.”

Eric looked at Drew and Aniston, who were sitting around him.

This… seems to be noisy?

Don’t break up on the spot, otherwise the three of them will be guilty today.

While praying secretly in his heart, Jeffrey, who was sitting at the top, coughed slowly and lightly: “Cough, okay, don’t make any noise.”

Chris and Emily, who had already ‘entered the state’, heard Jay Free’s voice, immediately sobered up, and quickly closed his mouth.

In order not to calm down the scene, Eric took the initiative to stir up the topic, and the atmosphere of the dinner gradually became active.

After the meal, Emily pulled Aniston and Drew into the room to talk small talk, and there were only three big men left in the living room.

At this time, Eric apologized: “Sorry, Chris, just at the table…”

“Eric, this has nothing to do with you, you don’t have to take it to heart,” Chris shook his head.

Jeffrey also said softly with emotion at this time: “This is also good, and occasionally quarrel, in fact, when Solina is here, we also often quarrel.”

“Dad, don’t talk about those things, okay? ?”

“Okay, I won’t say it,” Jeffrey nodded, knowing that his son was doing it for his own good.

Chatting and chatting, Eric gradually brought the topic to some topics that he was more interested in: “Chris, are you familiar with foreign exchange trading?”

“I know a little bit, but I have not participated in this kind of project. I’m currently working in the securities department.”

“Then do you speculate in foreign exchange, such as the Japanese yen, isn’t the yen appreciation very strong now?”

Chris shook his head: “Now that the yen has doubled in value, even if you have money, you can’t make much money by entering the market now.”

Eric was stunned for a while, regretting that he didn’t pay more attention to the Japanese economy in his previous life .

Hearing what Chris said, he had no choice but to give up. However, another huge opportunity had not yet come. Eric said: “So, what about the ruble, do you know anything about the ruble of the Soviet Union?”

Chris Persuade: “Eric, I think. You’d better make movies honestly. Not everyone can afford the foreign exchange market. It’s like the yen. Although the yen has doubled in value over the past few years, but International hot money has not made the terrifying profits you think in the foreign exchange market. The federal government just made Japanese goods uncompetitive in international trade through the appreciation of the yen, and a large number of Japanese domestic funds and enterprises fled, which eventually led to the bursting of the Japanese economic bubble. , economic stagnation.”

“Well, I mean, don’t you see. Is the Soviet Union dying now?”

Chris shrugged: “It’s a possibility, but who knows when the Soviet Union will fail, and Even if the Soviet Union’s economy collapses, because this country enforces the ruble’s foreign exchange ratio, we won’t get involved.”

“Well, have you ever thought about the possibility that dozens of countries that joined the Soviet Union would disintegrate and all capital would be restored. At that time, because of the economic turmoil. The ruble will definitely plummet, and that must be a very good opportunity. Right?”

Chris and Jeffrey looked at each other and looked at Eric strangely together. After a while, Chris smiled and said: “Eric, if you throw out this point of view, it will be welcomed by the whole world. If the Soviet Union really disintegrates, everyone will no longer have to worry about the threat of nuclear war. Back then The ‘Big Ivan’ that blew up the entire Arctic Circle has scared the whole world enough.”

Eric was a little helpless, although the upheaval in Eastern Europe had already happened, and East and West Germany was reunified in August this year, but now the Soviet Union is still far from the disintegration in memory. For almost two years, coupled with the half-century-long competition between the United States and the Soviet Union, although the Soviet Union has been repeatedly vilified, its strength is undeniable. Few people would have thought that such a big power would fall apart in just a few months.

“Then let’s make an assumption,” Eric continued: “If possible, the Soviet Union disintegrated and the ruble depreciated dramatically. At that time, I spent 1 billion US dollars to fry the ruble, using hundreds of times Is it possible to multiply this fund dozens of times?”

Jeffrey didn’t respond, but Chris looked at Eric like an idiot: “Don’t say it’s 1 billion, even if you take out 100 100 million, if you dare to use more than 100 times leverage, you may lose money in a few minutes in the violent financial shock you mentioned.”

Eric was stunned: “Well… well, I don’t understand this very well. .”

Chris knew that Eric had never even gone to college, just an ordinary high school graduate, so he explained patiently: “Take the 100 times leverage you said, if you invest $1 billion, then You can amplify this money to 100 billion US dollars for foreign exchange transactions. But your 1 billion US dollars is only equivalent to 1% of 100 billion, which means that you can withstand only 1% of foreign exchange fluctuations. Even if a kind of The overall trend of the currency is down. Because of the game between buyers and sellers, there will also be violent up and down fluctuations in the process. As long as the currency increases by more than 1% at a certain stage, your money will be 1 billion or 1%. 10 billion will be liquidated immediately. Under normal circumstances, the leverage usually used in the foreign exchange market is about 20 to 30 times, and occasionally some people will risk using 50 times leverage.”

“Well, okay,” Eric was embarrassed He smiled and shrugged: “Just pretend I didn’t say it.”

Seeing Eric’s embarrassed appearance, both Chris and Jeffrey laughed, and Chris added: “The more It is a violent financial turmoil. In order to ensure the safety of funds, the lower the leverage used, the better the opportunity is. If you can take 1 billion in and double it, it will be very powerful.”

Since foreign exchange is no longer viable, iResearch Ke thinks it is better to invest in a field that he is more familiar with. Besides movies, he is most familiar with the it industry, which is developing the fastest in the next 20 years.

Several major software companies have no chance, the Internet has not yet developed, and various network companies have not had the opportunity.

In terms of hardware, Eric has been thinking about Apple for a long time, but unfortunately the future of Joe’s leader is uncertain, and Apple has not entered the brink of bankruptcy, so what else is there?

After pondering for a moment, a name flashed out.

Cisco?

Cisco!

Eric slapped his forehead and almost jumped up in surprise. In his previous life, he was a giant with a market value of $500 billion.
