The Goddess Shines on America

Just as Alice was struggling with her secret little experiment, the global stock market was also undergoing turmoil.

As Jordan Belfort, who is aspiring to get employed on Wall Street, but can only slander and deceive him with a fake certificate, his life in the past few months is almost like a dream.

Because he witnessed the rise of a myth and the fall of another myth.

In just three months, Microsoft, which went public in March, has become one of the hottest stocks in the entire United States. When Windows 2.0 is only one month away from the release date, too many people are looking forward to the product. Turning into priceless stocks, the company's stocks are continuously being sold off and bought again and again, becoming the most popular gold ingot on the Nasdaq exchange.

At the same time, as a listed company, Microsoft also published its April and May financial statements. This tycoon, who raked in 60 million US dollars on the first day of listing, has aroused rounds of evaluations by Wall Street experts with its monthly net profit of tens of millions. Although this revenue is much worse than that of established IT companies such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard and even Apple, this is only the first quarter of listing!

At the same time, as many Wall Street people do, Jordan is also comparing Microsoft and Apple.

To be honest, Jordan doesn't understand what the current Apple is doing.

⑧∝Chang⑧∝Wind⑧∝Wen⑧∝Study, w∞ww.c≌fwx.n☆et or in other words, he is unwilling to understand.

According to recent news, the current CEO of Apple is John Scully, or he.

The former CEO of Coca-Cola.

Jordan felt that this guy was planning to replicate his marketing experience in Pepsi.

He is reducing the cost and selling price of Apple computers and placing them on the same water level as IBM to compete for IBM's individual customers. According to the fundamental analysis method he has practiced since his school days, Jordan studied the practice of studying Scully, and then dumped Apple's stock without hesitation.

Scully’s strategy is actually very correct in the soft drink industry, because Pepsi and Coca-Cola are all standardized fast-moving consumer goods with low prices and rapid purchases, which are dominated by consumer habits. However, the biggest selling point of Apple’s computer is its uniqueness and superiority in experience. This is the product height that Jobs has been trying to maintain from beginning to end. When Apple loses this biggest selling point, it can still have The future?

The fuse that allowed Jordan to throw away Apple's stock was the list of new products that he had just received not long ago, Apple distributed to every investor.

"Theresa, see what they are selling ****!"

At the dinner table in the morning, Jordan angrily threw the newspaper in front of his wife.

"They call it clothes? Teresa, take a closer look, can you call it clothes even with this kind of **** style!?"

Teresa had just finished her breakfast, and she hadn't had time to tidy up her fluffy black hair: "Wait a minute...Oh my God, it's really ugly!"

Seeing the merchandise picture displayed by her husband, she frowned in disgust: "Why is it so ugly?"

The long gown in pure color and almost no embellishment looks like a corporate cultural shirt, not a product for the masses. And the shorts that match it. The too soft fabric makes them look like beach pants.

"It's exactly like a plain shirt with no embellishments, plus rustic formal trousers, or knee-length monochrome long skirts. What the **** are these? Including this hat!"

Jordan pointed angrily at the model on a certain page: "Baseball caps and solid color pullovers without any embellishments. Is this a working class who just got off work in the last century? Theresa, look at this one again!"

Turning over the page again, a female model wore extremely loose blue-green sportswear, posing as if she was scratching her head: "Fortunately, they still printed the letters APPLE on their chest! What does this suit mean? The apple-picking farm Is there a special outfit for female workers? What shit!?"

Teresa stared at the pictures of the models, with a look that she couldn't bear it: "Apple is a computer company? What do they mean by suddenly getting involved in the clothing brand industry? Computer engineers...Oh my god, I know that. What do groups of people wear all day long, do they design their clothes?"

"Apple's financial resources are not small. When Jobs left, their annual sales were 8.9 billion U.S. dollars."

Jordan said: "If such a big company really wants to develop in the field of clothing, don't you know that it should hire some senior designers? Look at these clothes, Teresa, even three-year-old children can design them. !"

"Single-color, styleless pullovers, trousers, uniforms, and baseball caps. This is Apple's product? Is this an Apple product that designed the perfect AppleII?"

Teresa felt that her husband was still too excited, and said in turn: "Maybe they are just too good at designing computers, so they will fail when they switch to the field of clothing?"

"But the problem is, Theresa, my baby."

Jordan calmed down a bit and sat back on the chair: "You and I can all see that it is a junk product, don't Apple know?"

"You mean..."

"Obviously, after ousting Jobs, Scully also realized that new management methods would bring down profits, but he was unable to design excellent products from the Jobs era, so in the main business of computer, he could only let it go. Its own products compete with IBM's mass-produced machines for the market, and profits are declining."

"So, the launch of this clothing product is purely used to make up for the financial statements, and there is no future at all. Then you say, Theresa, since Apple has even used this trick, its development Can the prospects look good!?"

"so……"

Teresa looked at the clothing pictures on the product list. As a woman, she swears to heaven that she will never buy these things: "You are no longer optimistic about Apple, plan to abandon it?"

Jordan's eyebrows were frowned long ago, and he nodded vigorously: "Maybe it can usher in new developments after Jobs comes back, but if the CEO has always been John Scully, I have to give up this blue chip."

As early as when he was a student, Jordan made a lot of money with Apple's stock price rise. At that time, he didn't even have a forged stock trader's license. He used a clever tongue to persuade his companions to buy, and then earn a little commission from friends in private. Don't talk about how much dividends you get from directly holding stocks, just this small share made him make 10,000 US dollars in a semester!

But now, it's time to throw away old friends.

Not only because Apple will definitely decline with John Sculley, it also includes the rise of Microsoft, and another Jordan is extremely optimistic, but until now there is no gold medal potential stock with listing news.

Cisco.

Although the listing plan has not been announced until now, the current industry leader, financial analysts from many banks and institutions on Wall Street have analyzed it a hundred times in advance.

Everyone is frantically discussing how Cisco has developed so fast. It has only been two years since its establishment in May of the previous year, but it has achieved an annual profit of nearly 30 million!

As the current foundation of the Internet hardware industry is blank, with the exception of Cisco, several other companies have only switched careers since last summer, and there are only a few dozen companies. Therefore, most economic observers focus on Cisco. In a company. Of course, no matter it is Wall Street, countless companies that intend to develop similar products are all staring at Cisco's development model, eager to get even a trace of inspiration from it.

As far as Jordan knows, this company is definitely taking the elite route. As of today, it has just over two hundred people. As early as a year ago, the proportion of software engineers accounted for more than 90%. As for now, the technical team has obviously not expanded, but it not only launched a new generation of routers in November last year, but also launched a new product called a switch this spring. The speed of research and development can only make people think that Cisco It is implementing the elite line of such a development model.

"Theresa, this is actually a good thing."

After the decision to dump Apple’s stock, he said to his wife: “Analyzing Apple’s corporate status and stock market volatility takes up the most of my time. Now that it is freed up, I will have the energy to study Cisco’s development prospects. This is a company founded by King Alice herself, and the Patent Office's application for routers is all signed by her! With such a genius, once Cisco goes public, it will definitely be the second Microsoft!"

"Jordan, with that said, I have an idea."

Teresa gave her husband an idea: "Since you can now tell James Cameron to buy Microsoft stock, how about telling King Alice to IPO Cisco? If you set up an investment company from now on~www. readwn.com~ With your skills, you should be able to develop the company to the point where she can take this job before she decides to IPO?"

This is obviously a very tempting idea.

"The investment companies that can conduct an IPO are big bosses..."

Jordan pondered: "You make sense. If the company's first IPO project is a guy with infinite potential like Cisco... Then I have to rely on my eloquence, otherwise she must be looking for ******* *With Citigroup."

"Then we will now..."

"New plan! Theresa!"

Jordan kissed his wife excitedly and laughed: "It's not time to set up a company. After all, I haven't worked in an investment company. In this way, my dear, I will find a bank for an interview immediately, and I will have some work experience. Later, as you said, I will also open an investment company!"

Having said that, before he even had time to give his wife another fragrant kiss, he rushed to the bedroom like crazy, because all the suits and ties were in the closet. (To be continued.)
