Chapter 1758 Lizard
Bill Gates is not sure whether the movie is exciting or not, because Bill Gates has been thinking hard about what Harry Potter said.
Bill Gates did not think that these words were simply used by Harry Potter to confront him. On the contrary, Bill Gates felt that Harry Potter gave him a suggestion sincerely.
Because Bill Gates himself knows better than anyone else that there is a huge online concept stock bubble in the stock market.
Take Bill Gates’ own Microsoft for example. Bill Gates himself is very clear about how much Microsoft has.
Currently, Microsoft's annual profit is about $15 billion, but on the other hand, Microsoft's daily expenses are also very huge, with various R&D needs, as well as various marketing and market development expenses. So in fact, Microsoft's net profits remain in the past year, and the dividends it can give shareholders are only more than one billion US dollars.
Unlike oil and real estate industries, the entire network industry has almost no actual assets except for a large number of computers and software, as well as several office buildings.
Such a Microsoft wants to obtain a huge valuation of $600 billion, which is like a joke. Anyway, according to Bill Gates' own inner estimate, Microsoft's valuation of $120 billion is actually a relatively reliable valuation.
But now the valuation has increased five times to the level of US$600 billion. Just think about it, you can tell how huge the bubble is.
Bill Gates has always had a very clear understanding in his heart, that is, in the next three years, the Internet bubble will inevitably be exposed, and this is something that will inevitably happen.
Never underestimate the original elites of this world. They have predicted various financial crises early and were able to prepare for them early.
This is how Bill Gates in history. Bill Gates, who foresaw the collapse of the bubble, made a lot of preparations within the company, which made Microsoft, whose market value once reached US$500 billion, did not collapse instantly like other online concept stocks at that time, and its market value fell by 300% in one day.
It took Microsoft three years to slowly fall from a market value of US$500 billion to a market value of US$220 billion. Although the decline was also very bad, it still declined slowly and did not cause much damage to the company's actual operations. The company was considered overly stable.
Although Bill Gates in this world was forced to be a little crazy by Boss Jia, his judgment is still there and he also knows that the Internet bubble is still there. However, recently, because Boss Jia has been really angry and has been living a relatively unrestrained life recently. Bill Gates has inevitably ignored these issues.
Today, Harry Potter woke up suddenly and rediscovered this serious problem.
Although outsiders call Bill Gates Mr. 200 billion, Bill Gates himself also knows that his fixed assets have not changed at all, and there are about $3 billion in financial products. This is all the cash in Bill Gates' hands.
Whether he has gone from a $60 billion to a $100 billion, or the current $200 billion, Bill Gates can only actually control the cash that he has never changed.
My own net worth is just a number that changes continuously with the stock market numbers, and this number has never been put into practice.
And one day, with the collapse of Microsoft's bubble, the $200 billion it now has will be half of it overnight. These are $100 billion!!
"Maybe, I can sell some stocks!" Once this idea appears in Bill Gates' heart, it will begin to entangle Bill Gates' heart like a devil, and constantly devour Bill Gates.
Bill Gates actually has always had the habit of selling equity. He once owned 60% of the shares of Microsoft after its listing. However, in more than 10 years, Bill Gates sold his shares little by little to withdraw cash, which has become 30% of the shares now.
Thinking about it now, those equity shares were sold when the market value was less than 100 billion or even 30 billion US dollars, Bill Gates actually felt a pain in his heart.
If you sell it at $600 billion, how much more you have to sell it!
Thinking of this, Bill Gates felt that he could not miss this opportunity. Although Bill Gates had a voice in his heart that he could not sell equity at this time. Selling it at this time will have a huge impact on the stock price and the confidence of investors, and it may cause a collapse directly.
But the problem is, if the stock price really collapses, will your stock be completely shrunk? Then you can sell it to the world!
"We must think of a safe plan to take action!" Bill Gates, who has been thinking about this question, has no intention of watching a movie at all. Even the audience around him were shocked by the climax of the movie, Bill Gates did not care at all.
Even the movie was over, Bill Gates didn't get up, and sat alone in the cinema for 20 minutes. When the staff of the cinema had to come and ask the 200 billion gentleman if he needed help, Bill Gates woke up from his own world, shook his head with a wry smile, and then left the cinema.
The next day, the front page of the newspaper read: "The premiere of "Gray Ghost" was too exciting, and Mr. 200 billion was intoxicated and was unwilling to leave 20 minutes after the screening."
This immediately caused the movie's attention to skyrocketing again.
"If these people knew that you didn't even remember the protagonist's name, they wouldn't know what expression they would have!" At noon on the second day, Bill Gates's wife looked at the man who was still thinking about something and complained.
"Even if I watch the movie seriously, I won't remember the protagonist's name!" Bill Gates said seriously.
"Sir, Madam, this is today's letter!" The maid at home came up with a lot of letters in her arms and said that the Bill Gates family received a lot of letters every day, and sometimes even thousands of letters were in a day, most of whom asked for help as the richest man in the world.
"Dispose it directly!" said the wife very simply. It means burning it directly. It cannot be said that Bill Gates and his wife are too cruel. No one is interested in reading so many people, especially among them, most of them are gamblers and perverts who only ask for.
At first, the couple would look at the letters, but later they burned them all, which was a waste of time.
In fact, the same is true for Boss Jia. Boss Jia also receives a large number of letters every day, but Boss Jia will not burn them directly. Instead, he specially assembles a group to read these letters, read the contents of the letters in a category, and does not even burn them, but enter them into electronic versions and then deposit them in the box.
Later, a reporter came to Boss Jia's house for an interview and filmed a roomful of letters from Boss Jia. He wrote affectionately the classic story of Boss Jia who specially spent money to sell a building in Yuzhang to install these letters, making Boss Jia's image even taller and more glorious.
"These people are becoming less and less awesome!" Hearing the wife's order, the maid also complained, "It would be fine if these people send a letter. Some people actually sent the lizards in the letter. The lizard is not dead yet and ran out of the envelope!"
"What! Lizard!!" the lady screamed.
"No, madam, don't worry, the security guard has caught the lizard."
"Where did the bastard send us lizards!" the lady asked angrily.
"It's a little girl from Africa. She said she was dying and she could no longer take care of her best friend. When she died, the family would definitely kill the lizard, so she gave it to us, hoping that we could take care of it!" The maid said, "I'm really a lunatic. She is not afraid that the lizard will die in the letter."
"And those bastards from the customs, can't they find that anyone has a living thing in the letter?"
"Dispose it quickly!" said the lady irritably, and the maid nodded and was about to deal with it in the usual way. Bill Gates, who had not spoken, said, "Let me see that letter!"
"Yes!" The maid handed the letter to Bill Gates in confusion. The letter should have been written by a child. The letters on it were twisted and twisted, like tadpoles. If you don't read it carefully, you can't understand it.
