In late August 1988, many people were paying attention to a world-renowned news. The eight-year-old Iraq War finally came to an end. In this veritable marathon battle, no one was the real winner. Both countries exhausted their own resources for the sake of the war, and their economic development plans were postponed for at least twenty to thirty years.

Western countries have naturally long been looking forward to the end of this war. Perhaps a few arms dealers can make profits from it, but based on the overall international situation, the surge in oil prices affects the development of the global comprehensive field. Therefore, when the armistice agreement was finally reached, a large number of people from many European and American countries immediately rushed to the streets to celebrate the recovery of their own oil prices.

As the war ended, oil prices recovered, and oil and gas companies' stocks naturally rose. Wall Street was in full swing because a large number of orders were pouring into various investment institutions. Although the horn for the end of the war was already loudly played in an "Ramadan Operation" a few months ago, for most people, it was still the time to buy.

However, it was at this moment that a huge stream of funds was withdrawn along the way. It was the best time to invest, but the shareholders chatted out all the money without hesitation. The total amount of cash of US$457 million was the top in the list of many individual stocks on the same day. For a time, many stock brokers were shocked after checking the relevant information.

Who was it that when he actually pulled out all his money during this best time to invest in oil stocks?

After a moment of doubt, a continuous investigation was followed, and soon the result came out.

It was Alice King.

This girl who cleverly used market rules to maximize profits for short selling during the "87 Stock Market Crash" obviously had long seen the rise of oil stocks on various exchanges fluctuated around the end of the Iraq-Iraq War. JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, two large banks that regarded them as VIP customers, immediately conducted regular investigations on their related assets.

As it turned out, as early as April 1 this year, Alice Wang invested $280 million in oil companies around the world through two banks, JPMorgan Chase and Citi. This is of course not a small amount of money, but for her who got more than one billion in the "87 Stock Market Crash", it is not too exaggerated and eye-catching to take out such money and throw it at multiple companies in batches.

The total investment of $280 million rose by about one-tenth of the year after the Ramadan operation launched by Iraqi troops on April 16. The recovery of the Franco-Australia region, which was occupied by Iran for two years, did indeed bring back the prices of oil and oil and gas companies' stock prices to recover from this time.

Therefore, when the armistice agreement finally ends, it is not a big surprise that this amount of funds can rise to 320 million. But this will not relieve the brokers who are paying attention to it. Although Alice Wang has obviously made nearly half of the profits by relying on the past six months of foresight, the next time is the time for a big rise.

However, there is still a time difference between the three or five days before and after. It is precisely the rapid increase during this period that has made the total capital reach the threshold of 400 million like a roller coaster. However, this entire increase will definitely last for a while. What will be the purpose of her abandoning the profits afterwards?

News appears endlessly, and examples come together into a timeline. Most people are not able to distinguish clearly. But as investment brokers in the financial industry and journalists and editors of large newspapers and media, of course, they still have a high degree of professional sensitivity to such things and can quickly sort out enough information from them.

In early August, Cisco and Lucent Technology, the industry's most popular player, finally launched an optical module.

Since this is no longer a router, switch or even a firewall, a product that can be directly purchased and used by countless individual companies and even individual users is a very basic spare parts. When the joint press conference of Cisco and Lucent was held, the current magazines such as Volkswagen Electronics and Silicon Valley were immediately launched to popularize knowledge.

Simply put, the function of the optical module is photoelectric conversion. The transmitting end converts the electrical signal into an optical signal. After being transmitted through the optical fiber, the receiving end converts the optical signal into an electrical signal. It is an important device in the optical fiber communication system. It consists of optoelectronic devices, functional circuits and optical interfaces, and the optoelectronic devices include two parts: transmission and reception.

The working principle of its emitting part is that after the electrical signal of a certain code rate is processed by the internal driving chip, the driver semiconductor laser or light-emitting diode emits modulated optical signals of the corresponding rate. It has an optical power automatic control circuit inside it to keep the output optical signal power stable.

The working principle of its receiving part is that after inputting the optical signal with a certain code rate into the module, it converts the optical detection diode into an electrical signal, and then outputs the electrical signal with the corresponding code rate through the preamplifier.

The current issue of "Popular Electronics" magazine was written by a new reporter named Zoe Barnes. It not only introduces the specific principles and functions of optical modules in detail, but also explains its specific application areas in more detail.

Obviously, what can best exert heat from this product is the infrastructure laying of an entire fiber network.

In 1966, Kao, a British Chinese born in Shanghai, China, published a paper "Optical Frequency Dielectric Fiber Surface Waveguide", which first proposed the concept of an optical fiber network. Then in 1970, an optical fiber with a loss of 20db/km was developed. It is said that Corning spent 30 million US dollars to purchase 30 meters of fiber samples, which was considered very worthwhile. At the same time, this breakthrough also caused shocks in the entire communications industry, and developed countries in the world began to invest huge efforts in studying optical fiber communications.

Therefore, when major telecommunications companies around the world widely lay coaxial cables, fiber optic networks, a relatively late product, did not miss the wave of global network infrastructure. Of course, even at this moment when the 1980s was about to end, no one knew what would happen in the 1990s, but compared with the pitiful network coverage when Apa.com first appeared, the changes today can be described as overwhelming.

Undoubtedly, this product is the basic spare parts developed by the two companies for fiber optic networks. Ordinary people do not need it at all, unless they plan to build a fiber optic network on their own. But for At&T and British Telecom, this is simply the most wonderful treasure. It is not an exaggeration to call it a bulk cargo in the IT technology industry, and it is often orders of tens of millions!

So, this is the wonder of stock trading. Ordinary stock investors will not buy any optical modules at all. For many people, the entire Cisco product is not needed, but this does not affect them being ecstatic about Cisco's new progress, because the stock price is about to rise~

But the topic returns to the main line. Even if Cisco launches optical module products, it can make tens of millions of profits from major telecom operators every year. What does this have to do with Alice Wang's anxious to withdraw investment from the oil market?

With more than 400 million US dollars in cash, it is obvious that this girl has made a big move, and the benefits this move can bring to her are definitely higher than the amount of funds brought by the rise in stock prices.

The girl did not break the law, and the people in the bank did not have the right to track her capital flow, so if you want to know her real purpose, these managers and media reporters could only follow other news clues and explore step by step.

There are actually many clues to it. Because I didn’t know if I didn’t check it, I was startled by it. Many bank managers were surprised to find that before I knew it, Alice Wang actually stretched her tentacles so far away.

There are rumors that around August 12, a Washington Post reporter saw her near the Lockheed Company building in Maryland. If you want to talk about the development of military avionics systems, it may be related to Alice Wang, who was born in Silicon Valley. Unfortunately, the reporter pressed the camera shutter and found out that his film was inexplicably exposed.

There is another news that Mr. Li Ka-shing, chairman of the board of directors of the Hong Kong Cheung Kong Group, once again explained his new round of investment behavior to the media. Los Angeles is a city with many overseas Chinese. If a pharmaceutical factory can be built there, he believes that there will definitely be excellent market prospects. However, he has not given a positive answer to the new drug development plan, but only said that he will establish a medical research institute in the UK with the young Alice, but did not disclose specific details.

Of course, another old news was picked up by the Los Angeles Times again because of the refresh of content. The Alice Building, which is 528 meters in metric form, is under construction, but when the foundations of the seven underground floors have just been laid, the final height of the building has come out again. It is no longer five hundred, but the height of a full six hundred and thirty-two meters has not only refreshed the skyscraper height record again, but also completely broke through to six hundred. This shocking number!

Is this the reason why Alice Wang is eager to withdraw funds?

The managers guessed this way. After all, a 600-meter skyscraper like this can be built by stacking materials. Although according to the news, the blueprint of this building was completely painted by a genius girl and supported by the architectural design institute she established herself, which can save a lot of money, but it can only save a part of the money.

You should know that the price of building materials cannot be used to cross beams with weight. Although the stone buildings in the Empire State Building and the Rockefeller Center are very majestic, just looking at the price of materials, those stones are not worth much. Otherwise, they would not have been built in the 1930s.

But according to the Los Angeles Times, this skyscraper, more than 600 meters high, needs to be covered with glass curtain walls.
