Chapter three hundred and thirty-eight, further industrial layout
Alice counted from beginning to end, and after the entire "87 Stock Market Surge" passed, it was indeed time to give her friends a regular research center.
Since the end of last year, Alice accidentally caught a hacker with an excellent level due to the Pentagon's hacker, she has been silently planning a major plan for the computer industry. Of course, these plans have always been brewing for a moment, waiting for the right time, place, and people to develop. The reason why Alice has not become the second-tier identity of the "king of the world" now is that many objective elements have not been collected yet.
As for this big development plan in the computer industry, no matter who conceives it, of course, it is inevitable that the process from easy to difficult.
The development of a router is much easier than developing an operating system, so Alice founded Cisco early on and invited the Posacks and his wife to work for themselves. It is not difficult to develop an operating system, but Windows 10 is of course countless times easier than any later model. Considering that Bill Gates is about to make efforts, Alice has no choice but to throw out one and invest in Microsoft first, otherwise the loss will be great.
So, what about the third step?
This is a question Alice often thinks about.
She now has a wide range of careers, including both the Silicon Valley and the Film industry, both literary writing and military security. Their characteristics are that the content is very complex and the industry is widely distributed. For ordinary entrepreneurs, this is an unimaginable situation, but for investors who are not short of funds and know the future, they are really just throwing out some money by the way.
So, what about the development of reasoning and seriousness?
Cisco Systems, the leading company in the Internet hardware industry, was established by Alice and is currently preparing to go public; Microsoft, a well-deserved monopoly of the operating system market in the computer industry, has also invested around 30% of the shares by her. The Windows NT project is underway every day, and the Windows 30 system will inevitably be launched in the first half of next year, and everything will be well developed.
So, what about the third step to reasoning?
Alice has considered developing supercomputers, but this is not what she is most interested in. It is not because ibm has almost monopolized this field, but as a person who returned from the 21st century decades ago, she is very clear that the profit margin of this project is actually not large, but the development speed is not slow at all, and she does not need to interfere in anything extra.
Then the question is: What projects are more fascinating than artificial intelligence?
True artificial intelligence is not the kind of intelligence of smartphones, but the kind that can be related to the Terminator's Skynet.
Trial system is the best way to this door. One flat and one negative and cleared again is exactly the same as whether the unknown is added in logic. Nothing is closer to the thinking mode of smart creatures than it. Alice thought about it and then concluded that unless one day a zenith star suddenly arrives and sends unquestionable black technology, trial system is the only way for humans to achieve human beings' most likely to achieve human beings.
But the road to developing such computers is full of difficulties and obstacles. Since the first computer in human history, "Eniac" was binary, no one would have to work hard to develop a ternary system for practical reasons. Because this kind of research and development requires research from basic theory, researchers are completely unable to stand on the shoulders of giants. Small businesses are unintentional and powerless, and giant companies will not waste resources unnecessary, so such plans only existed in the Soviet Union for a short time.
But Alice is very clear about its value. Not to mention that the ternary system may eventually create real artificial intelligence, the computing power that is better than binary computers of the same level is enough to make her plan for this. In the past year, she has gathered a group of geek-like young people through cheap and secret recruitment, preparing for the next step.
Next, well, as the "hp" asks for a cheer, it's time to prepare a serious research center for everyone. After all, this is different from pure programming of "developing an operating system". It requires direct research on the hardware. It is always a matter of keeping the brothers from all over the world at home.
Of course, the day I talked with my companions today through microcomputer class was also the result of the contacts over the past year. Just one year ago, Alice certainly remembered what kind of interrogation she had received when she first connected the group of people to this chat room.
Someone asked Alice if it was a secret government department, and if they wanted to bring those who made trouble online all day to justice; some simply suspected that Alice was the KGB. Although the Soviet Union is getting less and less powerful now, Gorbachev is just a funny guy, but fighting beasts is not fun, what if there is any shocking plot? Some even directly invaded Alice's computer without hesitation, and then was easily killed, and then completely fell under the power of "Neo". And everyone's actions have been done, of course, they keep guessing Alice's true identity, and there are many people who are close to the truth, but they don't know how she views it.
The process is tortuous and the future is bright. One year is enough for these guys who already have a common language to become good friends for the great goal of ternary computers. Of course, Alice won everyone's heart with her "Neo" status with her real professional skills and the five-digit salary she never owes. So, although everyone is a hacker who cares about everyone, she also thinks that it is time to meet in the real world.
Furthermore, Alice really needs to prepare for the research center.
In fact, this is not a difficult task. The establishment of a laboratory does not necessarily seem so high-end, nor does it necessarily require the cool basic equipment.
Of course, this depends on what type of research it is. If you really want to start a project like ternary computer research and development, it is unreasonable to not buy a supercomputer. Furthermore, at least for the purpose of anti-theft, the basic security capabilities of the research center's building construction should not be careless.
So after returning to the dormitory tonight, Alice really should have a good look at her bank account. Although building a laboratory doesn’t cost much money, it’s just a million dollars, November 1st not only means the beginning of the new January, but also means the arrival of the third week of the “87 Stock Market Crisis”.
The impact of the entire "Black Monday" is very far-reaching. The situation of countless workers laid off will cause the entire United States to fall into a downturn in the late 1980s. But in terms of the period worth short selling, it will be from October 19 to November 19.
In just thirty days, the overall decline of Hong Kong stock market reached about 45%, the Australian Sydney stock market fell as high as 40%, London was affected lightly, but it also exceeded 25%. The exchange indexes in New York and Toronto also fell by more than 22%. The disaster is extremely serious.
So, this is the time for Alice to make money.
During this entire investment process, she also had to make a good choice by holding the total of 600 million US dollars in cash by monetizing some Microsoft stocks.
There is no need to hesitate to throw 400 million to Intel. Silicon Valley is the starting point of her career. How can a core product like CPU not be involved in a large amount? The CEO phone number had already been finished, and the shareholders' meeting would attend in a while. Dividends were about to turn back. After losing four-sixths at the beginning, Alice had to make full use of the remaining 200 million yuan.
Cashout is just a process, so after buying Coca-Cola stocks, she quickly took out with millions of profits. It is rare for a time period that makes a large number of listed companies extremely cheap. Of course, the acquisition behavior of stable, accurate, ruthless, and real will not be forgotten.
So, when Australia's stock market plummeted nearly half across the board, which company is the most worth investing in?
Little fat sheep?
Stop making trouble, that's from New Zealand.
Well, there is another Chinese one.
It's bhp company.
Alice first learned about this company in her previous life, and she had a rather funny translation called "BHP Billiton".
There is a fundamental reason why this company can rank first in Australia in profits. Because this country that occupies a continent alone has extremely rich natural resources, it is called a real resource country, especially in the development and utilization of mineral resources. Therefore, it is not surprising that bhp will become the world's top mining company with its right time, place, and people.
The company was founded in Melbourne in 1885. It mainly operates oil and mineral mining, with a total market value of up to US$100 billion. If it calls itself the world's second largest resource company, even oil tycoons such as Mobil and Shell would not say anything. The latter may be larger in scale, but after all, it is only in the oil field. BHP also has the business of mining iron ore, coal, copper, aluminum, nickel, oil, liquefied natural gas, magnesium, and even diamonds!
How could Alice not throw a large amount of money into 100 million yuan when its market value fell by 37%.
Of course, the order of spending money comes first and then. Such shares that will not move after throwing money in will of course be moved to a later stage before execution. Unfortunately, the changes in stock prices will eventually be calculated in days. When all stocks fall by 30%, according to the law, short selling will have to wait until three days before they can be carried out. Even if Alice holds a total of 600 million assets in her hand, it is impossible to trap too much in an instant.
Ninety-five seven million dollars.
Time, two weeks; means, short selling; starting capital, 600 million.
The stock market crash is not a listing of a company, and it will not allow speculators to make profits dozens of times. The bursting of the Japanese real estate bubble can only cause the overall price to fall by 70%. Alice can rely on 600 million yuan to sweep to 900 million in ten days, purely because she has seen several people, which will inevitably fall to the bottom, then suddenly rise, then fall to the bottom, and then suddenly soar, which is unlucky to rush the company.
After all, so many company research reports and historical stock price records are not in vain. Those unlucky companies that have no reputation but will definitely be repeated ups and downs in this stock market crash have long been the fat sheep in Alice's eyes.
In ten days, twice, Alice successfully made the largest profit of the 900 million yuan.
Chapter completed!
