Chapter 574 Love
“Did you meet Schwarzenegger today?”
After returning to his villa, Barron heard Jenny Butt’s question and smiled. Said:
“I remember telling you in the morning...”
Seeing the meaningful expression on Jenny’s face, he couldn’t help but ask:
"What, do you have any dissatisfaction with our governor?"
"That's not true. I don't care too much about his affairs. I just heard that when he was running for governor, he did something for himself. He spent a lot of money to keep those tidbits sealed."
"This is normal, isn't it? After all, he was once a major movie star in Hollywood and was related to the Kennedy family..."
< br>Barron knew that Jenny Butt was referring to Schwarzenegger's scandals, including cheating on his wife after marrying him and harassing actresses. In these matters, Schwarzenegger Ge spent a lot of money to settle it.
But the more important thing was revealed after he left office as governor. Well, it included his affair with his overly plump nanny - the two even had an illegitimate child. This was one of the reasons why Maria later divorced him.
On the next day, Barron took the rosy-faced Jenny Boot to Hunt Valley, Maryland, where the Sinclair Group is headquartered.
"Dear, I heard that you and your brother went to Hawaii to play. How was it? Is it not bad?"
After John Smith met his wife Jenny Butt, it was like Like a man who values his family, he gave his wife a hug and asked affectionately.
"It's not bad, but the too bright sunshine there made my skin a lot darker, so I came back with Barron in advance..."
Jenny Bute coped with it After her husband, she gently broke away from his embrace and said:
"You guys chat, I'll go up and take a rest."
John looked at Barron and shrugged:
"She is always like this. I am very happy to see you again, Your Highness the Duke. "
"Me too, John, how are you doing lately?"
John sat opposite Barron and called the servant over:
"Give me a cup of coffee, how about you?"
"Black tea will be fine, thank you."
After the servant left, John smiled and said:
"Company It’s not bad over there. By the way, the ratings of “Succession” are very good. I believe it will definitely have a place in next year’s Emmy Awards.”
As he said, “Succession” is a good show. The first season has been broadcast on the Sinclair Group's TV stations, and the ratings are very good. Even after two or three episodes, its popularity surpassed CBS's popular American drama series Crime Scene Investigation (CSI).
And it seems that John doesn't care at all about the plot in "Succession" similar to when he and his big brother snatched control of the Sinclair Group.
In reality, the popularity of this TV series has indeed increased the advertising revenue of Sinclair Group.
It must be said that although John Smith's business style is very different from that of his father and elder brother, it is true that under his management, the Sinclair Group has gradually reduced some of its debts.
But I don’t know whether the stagnant liquidity caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in the entire American financial sector will worsen the situation of Sinclair Group - after all, Sinclair Group’s previous Amid a series of acquisitions, their debt levels are still below the safety line.
“By the way, there is something I need to tell you, Your Highness the Duke.”
John Smith took the coffee brought by the servant, put a sugar cube in it, stirred it for a while, and said to Barron:
“We are going to sell our shares in SEM Group, so we can recover it. Funds can be used to repay part of the bank's loan. "This is what the Sinclair Group can do. It’s something you can handle on your own, John, I don’t have any objections.”
Relatively speaking, the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis is only limited to the U.S. stock market and some European banks. For stocks, the impact on SEM Group’s stock price is not that great.
Of course, SEM Group’s share price has also fallen compared to last month, but it is still at a satisfactory price.
If John Smith's judgment on the economic situation is not outstanding, it can only be said that he is very lucky. If he reduces his holdings of SEM Group's stocks now, it can still be regarded as selling at a high level, and at the same time, these stocks will be sold at a high level. The funds are used to repay bank loans and put Sinclair Group in a safer position if the crisis breaks out further.
“Actually, what I mean is that if you want to take back these shares, I can sell them to you directly.”
“That’s no need. The shares I hold now, It’s enough, there is no need to hold so much.”
Even if he wants to buy back some shares, Barron will not choose this time. European stock markets will definitely fall in several waves next year. By that time. time to get more discounted prices.
No matter what, after Jenny Butt returned to his home, Barron could breathe a sigh of relief. He had some doubts about whether this woman had been "accumulating strength" and what she had shown in the past two days. Barron's learning ability really surprised him. This was the first time since Barron's rebirth that he felt a little overwhelmed...
But just after he left John Smith's place, he received a call...
"Are you still in Los Angeles? Honey."
"I came to Maryland and just talked to John has met, honey?"
The call was from Ivanta, and Barron heard her say on the phone:
"It seems that I came at an unlucky time, just now. I got off the plane and am now preparing to go to Silicon Valley..."
"I'll go back right away, baby, you can wait for me at home first."
The "home" Barron refers to is a mansion he bought for Ivanta in the San Francisco Bay Area. When we were in Silicon Valley, we all lived there together.
After hanging up the phone, Barron sighed. It looked like tonight was still a night of hard study.
……
“Are you very optimistic about Twitter?”
After the pause, Ivanta couldn't help but ask after Barron asked about IC Capital's previous investment in Twitter.
“In the past, the development of Twitter was just like that, but it is different now. Our Android system and Apple’s iOS system both support more convenient running of apps on mobile phones. Twitter, a social form, It’s more suitable to do it on a smartphone like this…”
Hearing Barron’s words, Ivanta’s eyes lit up. It is no longer the time when she knew only a little about the Internet. Through continuous investment in Internet and technology companies in the past two years, Ivanta has also been here. By this time, her cognition had been greatly improved, and she immediately grasped the meaning of Barron's words.
Indeed, Twitter itself allows users to express opinions directly on the Internet by editing text messages.
This is why each message needs to be limited to 140 characters.
However, as more and more smartphone users use the Android system or iOS system, they can log in to the APP directly and conveniently through their mobile phones to publish information. This has indeed provided Twitter with soil for rapid development.
“Then do I need to suggest them to launch the APP on Android and iOS as soon as possible?”
“There is no need to rush this. If their founding team is sharp enough, they will think of it. , or wait until you participate in the next financing. If they haven’t had such an idea yet, you can remind them.”
