Chapter 722 U.S. Stocks
"Where, where?" Unfortunately, Jack Lee did not understand Zhou Zhi's sarcasm at all: "Without you, we would not have seized this opportunity. I can become the first soup in Hong Kong Island." of the One person, you are my Wong Tai Sin!"
"It seems that Wong Tai Sin's true form is a weasel, right?" This metaphor made Zhou Zhi a little unhappy: "If it's okay, just hang up and finish the questions."
< br>"Quick questions? What do you mean?"
Zhou Zhi could only roll his eyes: "I am a senior high school student in Class 1, Grade 3, Jiachuan County Middle School, Manzhou City, Bashu Province, Republic of China. I have one year left to attend the Republic of China. The national unified examination for admission to the great general colleges and universities will be the most important and critical node in my life. People in our country compare it to 'thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.' Can you afford to delay it?"
"Isn't it just to take the university entrance examination? You are so serious? If you are so good at English, just take TOEFL and then come to our Hong Kong Island to study at the University of Hong Kong or the Chinese University of Hong Kong. In the future, you will be a boss on Hong Kong Island and live in a sea-view villa. Yacht, I'm so happy."
"Thank you, but I am an ideal person and I want to study for the rise of China." Zhou Zhi also likes to tease Mengzi with Jacket Li.
“Without China, you will not rise? Analysts from our accounting firm don’t think so.” Jack Lee said with a smile: “Our Cantonese cuisine in Hong Kong Island is really good...”
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. I'm really dead."
"No, no, no, no, we still have to discuss how to handle your entrusted funds."
"What do you mean?"
"Listen to me...Dear Mr. Zhou Zhi:
You don't think that our company is humble, you have entrusted us with huge sums of money, you have great trust, and we advise you to take time. .
I The Secretary has worked diligently and diligently, but fortunately, he has lived up to his expectations and received the good news.
Your fortune in our company has now increased to 25,746,632.6. Two dollars.
The clouds, dragons, winds and tigers are all handed back, and the weather and luck always follow. Our company will continue to repay with sincerity and uphold the pure wisdom, and finally live up to the entrustment of the emperor. "
"Well, this paragraph must be very nice to read in Cantonese. How about you repeat it in Cantonese? "
"Don't make trouble! "
Zhou Zhi laughed loudly: "What the hell is this? Did you write it? "
"The unit asked someone to write it. "Jack Li and An Xin learned to call the company their work unit, and both of them were silent: "This is a letter for VIPs. I just read it to you, and I was too lazy to send it separately. ”
"It's up to you."
"Now it's time to discuss how to manage the money." Jack Lee said: "I don't know if you have any ideas."
"Your law firm is generally How does it work? ”
“It’s usually done. Assets are carefully allocated, such as real estate, stocks, and futures around the world. We also have our own trust funds with many plans..."
"No need to bother," Zhou Zhi said: "Our funds can Hold U.S. stocks? ”
"Yes, we have an entrusted account with the New York Stock Exchange, but the settlement date is one day later than the New York Stock Exchange."
"That doesn't matter." Zhou Zhi said: "Then leave me five hundred Ten thousand dollars, I can buy the rest into stocks.”
“I don’t know what Zhou Sheng’s comparison is about the American industry. Are you interested? "
"Buy half of it for IBM and half for me for Apple." Jack Li was shocked: "Zhou Sheng, do you know that IBM has plummeted by 10% in the past six months? Forty, coupled with the impact of the currency crisis, it continues to fall.”
"Really? Then two-thirds will be allocated to IBM and one-third to Apple."
"Are you serious?"
"Seriously, the big drop is a good time. ."
"Zhou Sheng, I think I need to remind you that IBM is going through a crisis now."
Then. The other end of the phone seemed to be checking stock quotes, and soon he heard Jack Lee say: "Oh, Zhou Sheng, I really don't think this is a promising company. From 1986 to 1990, in four fiscal years, Its operating income has only grown by 3 to 6% annually, which cannot match the growth in operating expenses, resulting in a significant decline in profits. ”
"In 1986, its net income dropped to US$4.79 billion from US$6.56 billion in the previous year, a decrease of 27%. By 1989, net income dropped to US$3.72 billion."
"Although in nine years Year 0 achieved a surplus of US$5.97 billion, but most of this income came from Due to the role of some short-term factors, its senior leaders did not realize the instability of this performance, but believed that the reform was initially effective."
"Misled by this understanding, securities analysts also optimistically predicted IBM. The company's profit will reach 7 billion US dollars in 1991, and Akers himself has promised Stock dividends will be increased by 35%. However, by the first quarter of that year, IBM suffered a loss of US$1.7 billion. "
"At the beginning of this year, securities analysts once again predicted that she would have a loss of US$4 billion this year. Surplus, I don’t know if you are affected by this news and decide to buy this stock. Stock. "
"What I want to tell you is that after IBM lost US$2.86 billion in 1991, it has even suffered a loss of US$3 billion this year, which is rare in the business world. The industry predicts that this year, IBM’s total losses will reach five billion US dollars”
"So scary?" Zhou Zhi was an information technology science student working in a state-owned enterprise in his last life. He knew the price of IBM servers and how IBM was so prosperous at that time. He had no idea that IBM was so miserable now: "What about Apple? What?"
“We are still not optimistic about this company.” Jacket Li probably shook his head crazily: “The Macintosh computer promoted by Apple cannot shake IBM’s leading position in the PC field. Company founder Steve Steve Jobs and CEO John Sculley A conflict occurred. Jobs and his friend Steve Wozniak both left Apple. "
"What?" Zhou Zhi was even more surprised: " Lao Qiao left Apple? ”
"Yes, affected by this, Apple, like IBM, has seen its stock price fall by 50%, and the trend has still not improved."
"Damn it..." Zhou Zhi was frightened. : "Then let me think about it..."
"It seems that Zhou Sheng is very interested in the information industry." Jack Lee said: "If this is the case, can software be considered?"
"Yes! Microsoft! How is Microsoft doing now?"
"Well...Microsoft is also in trouble now. Because of some copyright issues in WINDOWS 1.0, it had a lawsuit with Apple and Xerox about the graphical interface. This lawsuit lasted for six months. It was not until 1990 that the company won the lawsuit. Although it developed steadily, it also dragged down the stock trend."
"So, what about now?"
"Now Microsoft is facing a new situation. The problem is also related to IBM. It has a deep cooperation with IBM and has cut off cooperation with Apple. Important shareholders within the company have also left, which has also caused anxiety in the market. "
This is a bit funny. Microsoft's take-off started when the DOS system was adopted by IBM. Later, it developed a graphical interface on this basis, which is the WINDOWS system that everyone is familiar with. Because of the GUI design, it had a protracted copyright lawsuit with Apple. After finally surviving the lawsuit, he barely won the case, but then his collaborators suffered a major decline, and they continued to be dragged down.
But Zhou Zhi knows that Microsoft has not stopped. Even next year, it will launch an operating system adapted to networking, WinNT.
"Your suggestion is good, then buy it all for me as Microsoft."
