The Goddess Shines on America

In late August 1988, many people were paying attention to a piece of news that attracted worldwide attention. The eight-year-old Iran-Iraq War finally came to an end. In this veritable marathon battle, no one is the real winner. Both countries have exhausted their own resources for the war, and their economic development plans have been postponed for at least 20 to 30 years.

Western countries have naturally longed for the end of this war. Perhaps a few arms dealers can make profits from it. However, starting from the overall international situation, the skyrocketing oil price affects the development of the global integrated field. Therefore, when the armistice agreement was finally reached, a large number of people in many European and American countries immediately rushed to the streets to celebrate the warming of their own oil prices.

After the war ended and oil prices picked up, the stocks of oil and gas companies naturally rose. Wall Street is boiling, because massive orders are rushing into various investment institutions. Although the clarion call for the end of the war was sounded as early as a few months ago in a "Ramadan Operation", but for most people , After all, this is the time to buy.

However, it happened that at this moment, a huge flow of funds was withdrawn downstream. This was the best time to invest, but the stockholders did not hesitate to chat out the money. The total amount of cash of 457 million U.S. dollars topped the list of many individual stocks that day. For a time, many stock brokers were shocked after consulting relevant information.

Who, at the best time to invest in oil stocks, actually withdrew all the money?

The momentary question was followed by continuous investigation, and soon, the result came out.

It turned out to be Alice-Wang.

This girl who cleverly used market rules to maximize her short-selling profit during the "87 stock market disaster" had clearly seen the fluctuations in the oil stocks of various exchanges before and after the end of the Iran-Iraq War. JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, the two large banks that regarded them as VIP clients, immediately launched regular investigations into their related assets.

Facts have proved that as early as April 1 this year, Alice Wang invested US$280 million in shares of oil companies around the world through JPMorgan Chase and Citibank. Of course, this is not a small amount of money, but for her who has gained more than 1 billion in the "87 stock market disaster", taking out such a sum of money and throwing it at multiple companies in batches is not too exaggerated and inciting. The eye-catching thing.

The total investment of 280 million U.S. dollars rose by about one-tenth after the Ramadan campaign launched by the Iraqi army on April 16. The recovery of the Faw region, which has been occupied by Iran for two years, has indeed brought the price of Chuanyou oil up a lot, and it is at this time that the stock prices of oil and gas companies have recovered.

Therefore, when the armistice agreement finally ends, it is no wonder that this sum of funds can rise to as much as 320 million. But this will not relieve the agents who are concerned about it. Although Alice-Wang has obviously relied on the foresight of the past six months and earned nearly half of the income, but the next time is the time for a big rise.

On the contrary, there is still a time difference of three to five days before and after, and it is the wild increase in this period of time that makes this total capital like a roller coaster ride above the threshold of 400 million. However, this whole increase will definitely continue for some time. What will she do for the profit after she abandons it?

Pieces of news appear endlessly, one by one, one by one, into a timeline. Most people simply do not have the ability to distinguish it so clearly. But as investment brokers in the financial industry, as well as reporters and editors in large newspapers, of course, they still have a high degree of professional sensitivity to such matters, and they can quickly sort out enough information from them.

In early August, Cisco cooperated with Lucent Technologies, the second oldest in the industry, and finally launched an optical module.

Since this is no longer a router, a switch or even a firewall, this kind of commodity can be directly purchased and used by countless individual enterprises and even individual users, but a very basic field of spare parts. When the Cisco & Lucent joint press conference was held, the current issue of "Popular Electronics" and "Silicon Valley" Weekly and other magazines immediately launched the work of popularizing knowledge.

Simply put, the role of the optical module is photoelectric conversion. The transmitting end converts electrical signals into optical signals. After transmission through the optical fiber, the receiving end converts the optical signals into electrical signals. It is an important device in the optical fiber communication system. It is composed of optoelectronic devices, functional circuits, and optical interfaces. The optoelectronic device includes transmitting and receiving parts.

The working principle of the transmitting part is to drive the semiconductor laser or light-emitting diode to emit the modulated light signal of the corresponding rate after the electric signal with a certain code rate is processed by the internal driving chip. The internal optical power automatic control circuit makes the output The optical signal power remains stable.

The working principle of the receiving part is that after the optical signal with a certain code rate is input into the module, it is converted into an electrical signal by the light detection diode, and then the electrical signal with the corresponding code rate is output after the preamplifier.

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

Obviously, the most important thing that allows this product to exert its heat is the laying of an entire optical fiber network infrastructure.

In 1966, Gao Kun, a British Chinese born in Shanghai, China, published the paper "Optical Frequency Dielectric Fiber Surface Waveguide", which first proposed the concept of 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 U.S. dollars to purchase a 30-meter optical fiber sample, 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 research on optical fiber communications.

Therefore, when major telecommunications companies around the world are laying coaxial cables widely, optical fiber networks, a relatively late product, have not missed the wave of global network infrastructure. Of course, even at the end of the 1980s, no one knows what will happen in the 1990s, but compared to the poor network coverage when Arpanet first appeared, the changes today are really impressive. To describe it with overwhelming.

Undoubtedly, this product is the basic spare parts developed by the two companies for the optical fiber network, and ordinary people do not need it at all, unless he intends to build an optical fiber network by himself. But for at&t and British Telecom, this is simply the most wonderful treasure. It is not an exaggeration to call it the bulk of the IT technology industry, and it is often a tens of millions of orders!

So, this is the wonder of stocks. Ordinary investors will not buy any optical modules at all, and even for many people, a whole Cisco product is not needed, but this does not affect their ecstasy about Cisco’s new developments, because the stock price Up~

But the topic returns to the main line. Even if Cisco launches optical module products, it can earn 10 million yuan in profits from major telecom operators every year. What does this have to do with Alice Wang’s eagerness to divest from the oil market?

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

The girl didn't break the law, and the people at the bank had no right to track her money flow. So if you want to know her true purpose, these managers and media reporters can only follow the clues of other news and explore step by step.

There are actually a lot of clues, because I didn’t know if I didn’t check it. When I checked it, many bank managers were surprised to find that Alice-Wang stretched out her tentacles unknowingly for three or two years. Far.

There are rumors that around August 12, a reporter from the Washington Post saw her near the Lockheed company building in Maryland. To talk about the research and development of military aircraft avionics system, maybe it really has something to do with Alice Wang, who was born in Silicon Valley. Unfortunately, the reporter pressed the camera shutter and discovered that his film was exposed inexplicably without knowing what to do.

It is also reported that the chairman of the board of directors of the Hong Kong Yangtze River Group, Mr. Li Ka-shing once again explained his new round of investment behavior to the media. Los Angeles is a city with a lot of overseas Chinese. If a pharmaceutical factory can be built there, he believes that there will be a very good market prospect. But for the new drug development plan, he has not yet given a definite answer. He just said that he will establish a medical research institute in the UK with the young little Alice, but he did not disclose the specific details.

Of course ~www.readwn.com~ another piece of old news was picked up by the Los Angeles Times again because of the refresh of the content. The Alice Building with a total of 528 meters in metric system is under construction, but when the foundations of the seven underground floors have just been secured, the final height of the building has changed again. It is no longer five hundred, a full height of 632 meters, not only has it set a new record for the height of skyscrapers, but also completely broke through to six hundred, which is an astonishing number!

Is this because Alice Wang is eager to transfer funds?

Managers guessed this way. After all, a 600-meter-class skyscraper like this can be built with more than just piles of materials. Although it is reported that the blueprint of this building was completely drawn by the genius girl herself and supported by the Architectural Design Institute she set up herself, which can save a lot of money, but it can only save a portion of the money.

You know, the price of building materials can't be measured by weight. Regardless of the majestic and majestic stone buildings of the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Center, simply looking at the price of materials, those stones are not worth much. Otherwise, it won't be a house built in the 1930s.

However, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times, the 600-meter-high skyscraper is to be covered with a glass curtain wall. (To be continued.)
