Chapter 405: Harvest season
??Chapter 405 Harvest Season
?? Some people may wonder why Sony, as a Japanese company, wants to go far and not directly seek help from its own government.
??But in fact, it is the smartest decision not to find someone on your own.
??When countries around the world discovered that after September 11th, public opinion in the United States was one-sided in the direction of declaring war, everyone already understood that Sony would definitely become the scapegoat for the entire war.
?? In this case, it is the most sensible choice for all parties to remain silent.
??Be wise and protect yourself.
??Because at this time, no matter who speaks for Sony, they will be labeled as the mastermind behind the September 11 incident. As for whether what they say is reasonable? As for whether they can really produce evidence?
?? But so what?
?? Turning the table is an American tradition!
??In Nigeria, we know that Halliburton, the world's largest oilfield service provider, directly destroyed all their oil exploration and production companies in order to limit their crude oil output, even state-owned companies, didn't they shout?
?? shouted!
?? But what about the result?
??The U.S. Department of Defense first collaborated with Hollywood to create a film "Tears of the Sun", which rendered Nigeria's civil strife into religious madness, and at the end of the film, inserted the U.S. official evaluation of Nigeria—
?? "The only thing necessary for the triumph of fevil is for goodment odonothing."
??When the phrase "Evil wins because good people do nothing" was shouted by the United States, sending troops to Nigeria became the United States' favorite thing to do.
?? Every year, the U.S. military conducts 3,500 training and military intervention operations in Africa, with an average of ten operations per day.
??In this case, Nigeria can be knocked on the door at noon just by shouting in the morning!
?? As for whether you can see the moon at night?
?? Then it all depends on the decision in the afternoon!
??Do you care what other people do in your house when your head is on someone else's gun?
Do not make jokes!
??Whatever people want to do, then do it!
??Since you can’t resist, lie down and enjoy!
??Japan is the same way!
??When Sony found out that it had fallen into the trap of the United States, how could Japan, their backer, not smell anything unusual?
?? But what's the use of smelling an anomaly?
?? Out of sight, out of mind, is the only thing they can do.
??If the cabinet helps him to avenge his grievances, it will be a big deal, and he can be replaced that night.
Even Sleepy Bai, who came to power relying on 'Black Lives Matter', didn't take Japan seriously. In front of the rampant military-industrial complex, Japan is even less threatening. If the contemporary Sima Yi can abdicate under the pressure of the U.S. Department of Defense, then it would be a perfect ending to replace him with someone else without going to jail.
??So, Sony is alone and helpless, that is normal development.
?? It would be really weird if someone helped it to seek justice.
??What can Sony do now...
?? That is to pack your luggage well and get ready to go.
?? After hearing the news, the major shareholders of the Sony Group reduced their holdings one after another, and the company's top management was also running wildly.
??The most interesting thing is that Sony's stock price did not fall sharply because of this crazy capital flow.
??Because the losses were all borne by leeks.
The shareholding capital sells Sony shares in large quantities, but the target of receiving orders is not the market, but the major retail funds. Even if a fund can only take 10% of the fund's market, as long as there are enough funds, it will be able to transfer the capital. Share the loss.
?? Just like when the financial crisis came in 2008, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs were frantically shorting themselves.
??Want to lose capital?
?? That's an impossible thing!
??And under the circumstances that the capital will never lose money and the market is always limited, who will have less money?
?? Isn't this an obvious thing?
??So, even if Roland and the others really bought Sony's assets with real money, it wasn't their money.
??The money for buying and selling assets comes from the heads of leeks...
??The money that the small bush government can take away is also obtained from the heads of leeks...
??...
At the same time that Sony accepted his fate, on October 7th, Operation Enduring Freedom, a coalition formed by the United States and Britain, officially started. There was an air strike.
??The most unexpected thing is that after the air strike, the U.S. military also airdropped a large amount of relief supplies to Afghanistan.
According to CNN, a die-hard supporter of the old bush, this move is to relieve the Afghan civilians injured in the gap. Not only that, they also emphasized that the United States is a responsible country, and they knew about the September 11 attacks The guys in Afghanistan are just a small number in Afghanistan, so while fighting these evil forces, they will minimize the harm to the local innocent residents as much as possible, because fighting evil and maintaining goodness are not in conflict.
??When such remarks appeared, the international community immediately expressed admiration for the United States as a major country!
??After being attacked by 9/11 and more than 2,900 people were killed across the country, the United States can still manage to treat things but not others. This kind of mind is simply a manifestation of God's benevolence!
??For a while, countless media were praising the benevolence of the small bush government!
??But when Roland heard the news, his face was full of—
?? "These politicians are the best actors!"
?? "Compared to theirs, none of the guys in Hollywood can take on the name of an actor!"
?? That's what it is!
??Actors are filming in Hollywood, if the acting is not good, then there is still a chance of NG!
??But in real life, who can help politicians shout Ka?
And without the chance of trial and error, and without reloading the file, they can do shameless actions while putting gold on their faces. Isn't this kind of shameless behavior while being shameless? Bull beep?
??I hit you, I save you, so I am benevolent?
?? What a joke!
?? If you are truly benevolent, then don’t hit me if you’re so special!
?? Isn't this funny!
??But that’s how society is, and everyone plays tricks on occasion.
??With Britain, France, Germany, Norway, Italy and other countries directly giving military aid to the United States, if the media don’t beautify the war, won’t they offend all the world’s major powers over and over again?
??Although it is really cool to slap in the face face to face, but what about after that?
??Which media group can toughen up these violent institutions?
??So, you fight in the front and I blow in the back. That is the only way for friendly cooperation between the two parties!
?? As for the face?
?? May I ask what is that?
??...
?? Shortly after the war in Afghanistan officially started, on October 16, another major event happened.
??That morning, Enron suddenly held a press conference and announced to the public that they needed to restate the financial statements from 1997 to 2000 to correct accounting irregularities.
And when people compared the finishing report provided by Enron with the previous financial reports, they found that in the four years from 1997 to 2000, Enron's profits actually decreased by 23%, and its debts increased. Six percent!
If these are enough to cause people to panic, then when Enron publicly admitted that the broadband sector has grown from more than 6 billion to 35 billion over the past few years, the tsunami caused by this is directly Let Enron's stock price collapse!
??'The most horrific accounting fraud in history' has become a title that Enron will never shake off!
And when the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it would conduct a detailed investigation of Enron, and after six days, it was found that Enron's own funds were not enough to repay the financing bonds of more than 2.2 billion US dollars that were about to expire, and the When there are 3.3 billion commercial papers that may not be honored...
??The remarks of "Enron is only worth 8 billion at most" caused the market to collapse!
?? On August 23rd, Enron's stock was worth 90 yuan, and on November 5th, it was only five yuan!
??The huge gap of 85 yuan caused countless families to lose all their money overnight!
??And when those middle-class people who had saved money for a lifetime discovered that they had turned from rich to poor in just three months, the ensuing desperation caused gunshots to resound in every corner of America...
??However, Enron's plunge was a good thing for Roland.
?? After all, he is short!
Even though on the night of November 5th, Roland and his wife participated in the Guy Forbes Night, a British carnival event, and played until the early hours of the morning, but at noon the next day, when he just woke up, he still had a five-hour jet lag. Called David.
??When the happy voice came from the handset of the mobile phone, Roland, who was playing with peaches, had joy written all over his face.
"We previously lent 11.11 million shares of Enron stock at a price of 90 yuan, and now we only need 55.55 million to repay it! Minus Burke Hill Hathaway’s mortgage fee, this transaction can make you more than 900 million! My God! You can earn 900 million a year with a principal of 1 billion! This is faster than robbing a bank!"
??However, Roland corrected his mistake.
"One billion principal? Did you miscalculate? Our principal is only the interest of pledged Berkshire Hathaway stock. This is not at all using one billion to make nine hundred million, but two thousand Duo Wan earned more than 900 million yuan!"
?? "Oh right! I miscalculated! This is a super big deal with a return on investment of more than forty-five times!"
??David laughed.
??Because he also invested 200 million.
??Although compared with Roland's empty-handed white wolf operation, he did not earn as much as Roland by using real assets as collateral, but the income of about 140 million can still make him extremely excited!
?? No way, who makes finance the fastest way to get money?
?? Even Yang Ma posted a post, stop playing the game where money makes money!
??This kind of guidance is simply unimaginable in the capitalist society.
??After chatting with Roland for a while, he decided to follow the other party's arrangement, not to covet the final tens of millions of profits, and directly close the position, David said again: "There is something I want to trouble you for."
??As soon as the words came out, Roland was speechless immediately, "David! Why are you being polite to me! If you have any trouble, just tell me directly! What is the relationship between us, are you right?"
Since Roland said so proudly, David stopped pretending, and said directly: "That's right, didn't you and your Auntie Ganetti discuss about sending Ashley and Mary to New York University? Everything is now It's almost done, and we plan to send them there next year, and according to our thinking, we hope they can really learn something...you know what I mean?"
?? "I figured it out."
Roland coughed and said, "You two don't want them to become gilded **** who go to prestigious schools, right? You two hope that New York University can make them lose their star halo and become a person with sound three views and cognition. people, right?"
"Oh! That's what it means!" David was very happy that Roland could understand his words, and after the two sides could reach a consensus, he expressed his true thoughts, "So, I hope that I can talk to those students from the Design Academy. The teachers met and communicated with them, telling them not to indulge them academically."
?? "That's all right, wouldn't it be over if you just go to the teacher?" Roland felt that there was nothing wrong with the Olsen couple's thinking, but he didn't understand why they had to find themselves for this matter.
?? After all, as a guy who hasn't finished elementary school, he doesn't know any teachers from New York University School of Art!
And listening to his question, David said helplessly: "Going directly is indeed a solution, but the effect is extremely limited. You must know that many teachers are unwilling to deal with rich people like us, because no matter how we ask them, let us They demand of our children the way they treat the public, but in the end, they all favor our children.
??Like Francis Coppola's daughter Sofia Coppola, no matter where she goes to school, it's a special treatment.
??Francis Coppola no matter how much he emphasized, it was useless, because the teacher dared not provoke him!
so…
?? Don't you know Martin Scorsese?
??Take him out together, how about having a meal with those teachers?
??As teachers at the same school, it is much easier for them to tell each other!
??It's like the parents and children who are teachers will basically study hard, because they know how to catch it! "
??This is really pitiful for parents in the world!
??As a pair of responsible parents, David and Canetti hope that their daughter can live a good life after she stops being a star.
??Send them to New York University in the hope that they can improve.
?? Instead of mixing with other rich second generations, doing some nonsense all day long.
??Of course, for Roland, this matter is nothing more than a piece of cake.
?? Without hesitation, he responded directly.
??After dealing with the serious troubles in his heart, David's mood improved, and he directly cared about what happened a month later.
?? "Are you celebrating Chinese New Year in England this year?"
"Almost." Roland glanced down at his wife who was pretending to be asleep, and said, "Although Kate didn't tell me, which child doesn't want to spend the holidays with their parents? So, there is a high probability that we won't come back this year, anyway. fine…"
?? As soon as these words came out, Kate, who was nestled in Roland's arms, moved a little.
?? Immediately afterwards, convulsions like Parkinson's patients suddenly came.
??Feeling the overflowing joy, Roland suddenly felt that he was quite happy.
?? No way, who made the guy next to him so easily satisfied?
And just when Roland was about to hang up the phone and continue teasing the guy who pretended to be sleeping and eavesdropping, David's words on the other end of the phone made him stop, "Is that so? Then I will ask Arnold to go to England to find you..."
?? "What?" Roland didn't understand what David meant.
?? "Ah, Arnold Schwarzenegger has something to do with you." David repeated his words.
?? Note: ?The most famous Nigerian scam in the world is because Nigeria’s crude oil extraction was interfered by the United States, which led to oil merchants who suffered heavy losses to switch to cheating. This is not an unreasonable guess. Nigeria has already come up with a real hammer, but since the 1980s, there has been no result because it is too weak. ? "Tears of the Sun" starring Bruce Willis is also one of the typical examples of cooperation between Hollywood and the U.S. Department of Defense. After the film was released, the U.S. offered a reward of 3 million to capture the former president of Liberia who had taken refuge in Nigeria, and then Nigeria would not let him go. Then it was fast-forward to the link of dispatching troops, and then Nigeria imposed economic sanctions on Halliburton, two or three rounds, all over the place. ?Contemporary Sima Yi! After the general situation is confirmed, I say that my health is getting better, and the rhythm is exactly the same as before. ?It is true to lose resources while airstrikes, and you want to set up a memorial archway even if you are a bitch. ?I seem to have written before that Enron was just unlucky, and happened to meet the president of Little Bush, who can’t mess with black material, because accounting fraud is really nothing. Michael Dell, who wrote before, was arrested for accounting fraud. With a fine of 100 million, his incident was not much less serious than that of An Ran, but it was all right.
