"Moore's Law: The processing power of a computer is proportional to the square of the number of transistors integrated into a microchip, doubling every eighteen months."

"Metcalfe's Law: The value of a computer network is proportional to the square of the number of computers connected to the network, and that the more people who request information, the more abundant the resources of information rather than the poorer they are."

"Gates' Law of Cultural Hegemony: As soon as an idea pops into the brains of Silicon Valley's digital geniuses, it is immediately transformed into real technology and spreads quickly."

"In June, Wired magazine also used a thorn-entangled Apple on its cover to lament Apple's imminent bankruptcy, and in July, when Jobs ousted CEO Amelio to temporarily become Apple's CEO, they jubilantly touted Jobs and invented a new concept: the unlimited capitalist."

"They cite the prophecy of thinker Marshall McLuhan in the sixties that the era of unrestricted capitalism has finally arrived."

"The unrestricted capitalists who have suddenly emerged in the telecommunications, genetics, nano, microelectronics, and even cultural and sports industries are the so-called: new people created by new technological forces. They have new concepts, new thinking, new ideas, and new ways of thinking, and rely on intangible assets, securities investment, equity operation, and value rediscovery, rather than exploiting others, traditional industries, and inheriting family industries to get rich quickly......"

"Tech Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Anderson, Jim Clark, Larry Larson...... Hollywood's Katzenberg, George Lucas, Spielberg...... Even basketball star Michael Jordan and pop star APLUS can be counted as one of them. ”

"Most of these people are cold-blooded and ruthless, believe in technocracy, possess great strength and faith, unrivaled personality charm, and an astonishing rate of wealth growth ......"

"They create new jobs, new histories, try to achieve unprecedented global integration, and boldly look to the future to lead humanity into the next century."

"After agriculture, manufacturing, service and information industry, mankind will experience five major economic waves in the new year: leisure, life science, giant materials, the new atomic age and the new space age......"

"Think about it! Two thousand years, flat management and paperless office will come true, the Internet will become the main medium in the 21st century, in 2002, Western Europe will be integrated into one country, in 2005, 20 percent of the people of the United States will buy everything through the Internet, online video will replace the telephone, developed countries will enter a general labor shortage, unemployment will become an unfamiliar word, in 2012, we will conquer cancer, in 2018, cells and human organs can be easily repaired, cars use hydrogen to drive, In 2019, the United States will enter a truly pluralistic society......"

Song Ya's eyes were glazed and listless, "Don't read it, Sloane." He said to the hands-free landline, "It gives me a headache." ”

"Looks like the Washington Observer likes you."

Sloan stopped reading the newspaper, "What? You don't seem to be happy with your lunch that day? Didn't Mr. Buffett reveal anything about making money? ”

"I didn't feel it anyway." Song Ya said.

"Maybe the hint is in a few words." "He taught me a lot of things about going public." ”

"Ovitz is always chatting with me about miscellaneous things, Disney, ACN, Metropolitan Records, Silicon Valley Investment and other brokerage matters, I feel that the old man of Warren Buffett was pulled by him to fill the scene, M-FXXK They should pay me for the fuel money for the plane and the loss of work."

Song Ya complained: "The topic is always trivial, and it is pulled around...... I can't even remember what Warren Buffett said. By the way, how are you going to buy Ovitz's ACN? How much money do you need from me? ”

"Maybe buy with the money raised from the IPO? Ovitz is offering a lot right now, and I think I can dry him properly. Sloan replied, "Until next April?" ”

"Okay, you decide, I'm getting more and more disgusted with that guy." Song Ya said.

"Oh? How so? Sloan asked.

"His investments in Silicon Valley and real estate and farms will not pay off for a while, and the media industry has lost money again, and now it seems that he is still planning to go back to the brokerage industry, and he has started to beat me again, no, not only me, but also some old friends of CAA. For example, Ron Meyer, the president of Universal Pictures, is so boastful of the rest. Song Ya replied.

"Oh? Bronfman and David Geffen will be, their attitude towards Ovitz is the friendliest in Hollywood, and Ron Meyer is doing a good job there. ”

Sloan suggested, "Should you take the initiative to remind Mr. Bronfman Jr. of Ovitz's little move?" After all, you have a better relationship with him, and your interests are more deeply bound. ”

"Hmmm......"

Song Ya thought for a while, "Forget it, people like Ovitz speak true or false, and I don't want to be a big mouth for a snitch." ”

"It's also ......"

"HEY, APLUS!"

At this time, O'Grady of the Northern Trust walked in excitedly, "Look! He put several newspapers and magazines in front of Song Ya.

"Let's talk again, Sloane." Song Ya hung up the phone, picked up the Wall Street Journal first, there were photos of herself and Buffett leaving after lunch on the inside page, she was about to walk into the car with her crutches, Sloan and Ovitz were talking with their heads down, and Mariah Carey was standing at the door with Buffett in her arms.

In another newspaper, the candle on the small cake is still on, he is puffing out his cheeks and blowing, and his ex-wife pouts at Buffett's old face.

The text is mostly touting itself, and some parts of it quote the newly popular term 'unlimited capitalists'.

Song Ya rolled her eyes and threw the newspaper back.

"What did you talk about with the gods?" O'Grady asked.

"Here we go again, a lot of people are asking."

Almost everyone has been asking since they met, and Song Ya has been annoyed by it, "uh......" he recalled, "Disney, Netscape, Microsoft, Apple...... There is also the Asian financial crisis...... That's about it. ”

"Haha, Disney and Apple stocks are cheap right now, don't you want to buy some?" O'Grady instantly became excited.

"Netscape stocks are cheap."

Song Ya glanced at him, "Buffett wasn't hinting at anything, we just chatted casually." ”

"Won't you put out the cash in your hand before the end of the year?" O'Grady asked: "At least Apple has potential, and the founder Steve Jobs is back, and you can buy a little bit to dilute the cost of holding shares." ”

Selling Netscape and Netscape stocks, record settlement income, as well as the money recovered, and the money earned from shorting, Song Ya now has nearly 300 million dollars in cash.

"Come on."

Soon after Jobs returned, he ungratefully drove out the NeXT that had bought him at a high price, recalled him back to Apple's Amelio, and then sold all of his Apple shares in order to win the trust of other shareholders and board members who had old grievances and prove that he would not fight for control of the company.

So a founder who didn't have a single stock of the company in his hand actually became the company's interim CEO as he wished, and the follow-up wrist was imminent, Jobs began to show his fangs to the board of directors, and tried to bring in a series of people who also did not have much Apple stock in their hands, such as Larry Larson, the boss of Oracle, to enter the board of directors to help him expand his personal power.

"Jobs's infighting skills are full, if it weren't for Microsoft's 1.5 billion life-saving money, I don't think he is much better than Amelio, and even made Apple even more miserable......"

As a small shareholder who loses money, Song Ya is very dissatisfied, "It's true that he is the founder, but I doubt that he can run a good computer company now, after all, he has not started NeXT computers." ”

"Haha, your judgment is also reasonable."

O'Grady sat in front of the Bloomberg machine to operate, yesterday the Hang Seng Index plummeted, and today's U.S. stock market opened a lot of drag.

“OMG……”

Song Ya saw that the Dow Jones and Nasdaq went all the way down, and her mood was even worse.

Now he doesn't have the ability to save Xiangjiang...... No, you can't even save yourself.

This makes the financial media touting even more ridiculous.

"Shhh......hh He comforted himself.

The 3DFX in the technology sector has also stumbled, and it has dropped the figure seven that it finally stood on while speaking.

"Is this called okay? Yes! Song Ya suddenly let out a strange scream, because he saw the two major indices suddenly diving.

“WTF！？”

O'Grady's face is even worse, and most of the funds managed by the Northern Trust are still invested in blue chips on the New York Stock Exchange, which is worse than 3DFX.

"Ahh

"Ahh

The K-line suddenly fell 90 degrees, and five percent of the market value evaporated instantly, and the two big men screamed in unison.

"Ah......hh OK...... Call! ”

Song Ya finally saw the K-line stabilize the downward trend, "What the hell!" ”

"Are you alright?" O'Grady asked.

"Didn't it fall again?"

"That's because of the circuit breaker......"
