At the same time, concept stocks in Westeros hit new highs one after another.

Open for half an hour.

Tinkber led the gains, with shares up 4.7 percent and a market value of $4179 billion.

Eaglet, as the leader, also rose by 1.6%, with a market value of 9233 billion US dollars, and a trillion market value is becoming more and more in sight.

And then.

Cisco, up 0.9 percent, has a market value of $6535 billion.

America Online, up 2.1 percent, has a market value of $3867 billion.

Daenerys Entertainment on the New York Stock Exchange next door rose 0.6%, with a market value of 5691 billion US dollars.

Verizon, up 1.3 percent, has a market value of $1719 billion.

Intel, up 0.3 percent, has a market value of $2363 billion.

Oracle, up 1.5%, has a market value of $793 billion.

SUN, up 0.8%, has a market value of $1163 billion.

……

……

Then, everything freezes!

Cersei Capital Headquarters in Rockefeller Center, the floor where Black Rock Asset Management Company is located, Lawrence Fink, who had just finished a week of regular executive meetings, walked out of the office with several executives, and one of his assistants hurried up to greet him, and quickly revealed that one thing.

Just now, just after 10 o'clock in the morning, the securities trading department suddenly found a large number of sell orders for Microsoft stocks in the market, with an amount exceeding US$3 million.

Before the words were finished, another head of the securities trading department rushed forward again, and the chanting from the mouth of Dayuan came over: "Crash, collapse..."

When Lawrence Fink brought several executives to a computer displaying the stock market, it was less than 10:5, and Microsoft's share price had fallen by 12%, and the accumulated stock sell orders quickly accumulated. More than $20 billion.

Affected by the plunge in Microsoft's stock price, the stock prices of Windows-based PC manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard, Compaq, Dell, and IBM fell across the board, which in turn affected the overall turn of the entire Nasdaq market.

If the later generations of this time and space sort out the history of the Internet industry, they will probably not bypass this day.

1997 3 Month 24 Day.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, because of the huge response to Tinkber's spring new product launch conference on Saturday, the new week of technology stocks had a good start. With the sudden appearance of a large number of Microsoft stock sell orders in the market, the Nasdaq After the index broke through the high of 7000 points, the bubble finally burst and went to collapse.

All this, seemingly accidental, is almost inevitable.

Compared with the mere 1990 points in 300 and the highest point of 1997 in 7045, the Nasdaq index has grown 23 times in seven years.

Even if the vigorous development of the new technology industry opens up a completely new era, the 23-fold stock index increase in seven years cannot be a normal thing after all.

However, the new technology bubble, which many people had repeatedly warned the public about in 1995 or even earlier, miraculously rushed until 1997, reaching an unbelievable 7390 points even for many bystanders who do not understand financial stocks. High position, this is no longer just a miracle, it can even be said to be a fantasy.

Fantastic bubbles are bubbles after all.

No bubble can escape the fate of bursting.

Therefore, the sharp drop in Microsoft's stock price was just an accidental opportunity. When it happened by chance, it was inevitable in many people's minds. Therefore, everyone had an idea in their hearts.

IT'S THE TIME NOW!

Los Angeles.

Simon received the news temporarily at the breakfast table at Cape Dume Manor. While feeling a little emotional, he also felt somewhat weird.

Or Microsoft.

The collapse of Nasdaq once involved Microsoft, but this time, it still did.

It's a pity that things are not human after all.

Janet is quite regretful: "9233 billion US dollars, it is only less than 800 billion to break the 10000 trillion US dollar mark, what a pity."

This is naturally talking about Ygritte.

Before that, even Simon himself thought that Eaglet's market value might exceed 10000 trillion US dollars, and judged that this might be another potential turning point for the Nasdaq, but it was a pity that it was finally fixed at 9233 billion US dollars, which was far from the trillion threshold. 767 billion US dollars, about 8 points of stock price increase.

However, that doesn't matter.

"It doesn't matter if there is no breakthrough this time, it's just a matter of time," Simon thought to himself, and said to Janet next to him: "Even if the bubble bursts this time, the development trend of the information industry will not be reversed. In the next few years, it is just my plan The split Igret may fission into several trillion market value giants. There is also Tinkber, who also has a trillion potential. It is not impossible for Grete’s market value to overtake.”

Jennifer on the opposite side raised her head and said, "Tinkber, it shouldn't be easy, right?"

Even though the response to the spring new product launch conference last Saturday was very enthusiastic, many people subconsciously feel that as an electronic product company, Tinkobel is superior to Internet companies such as Igret in terms of style and development prospects. Much worse.

Simon, of course, can't produce evidence that Tinkber will go all the way up.

However, the market feedback of the iMac has made him understand that Tinkber has already secured the market position of Apple at its peak.Next, as long as everything goes according to the plan finalized by Simon, it is only a matter of time before Tinkber's market value breaks through trillions, or even two trillions.

After breakfast, Simon rushed to Daenerys Studios, and almost everyone he met today was discussing the turn of the Nasher.

Simon is still going step by step.

The first thing that happened after arriving at the company was about Tinkber. Hearing the news of the hot pre-sale of iMac 10 over the weekend, Simon accidentally thought of something.

The time has come for Tinkber to open his own store.

This is naturally still inspired by the former Apple Store.

When Tinkobel's first iCam was successful, Simon had already had this idea. Unfortunately, in the following years, Tinkobel's product line was not rich enough, and it was far from the time to open a large physical brand store.

Now, iCam, iPlayer, iRec and other products are the main products, and with iMac as the core, plus iVid, iDisk and other peripherals, Tinkerbell's product line is already quite rich.

Now that I thought about it, Simon spent Sunday with his family yesterday, while writing down the plan of the Tinkber store.As soon as I arrived at the company in the morning, I asked girl A to transfer the plan to San Francisco.

On the other hand, due to the three-hour time difference between the east and west coasts, the North American stock market closed at one o'clock in the afternoon in Los Angeles.The Nasdaq index was stimulated by the plunge of Windows concept stocks led by Microsoft, and finally fell by 7.9% in a single day, and finally closed at 6403 points, which was a drop of more than 10 points compared with the high of 7045 points around 600 o'clock in the morning.

The Nasdaq market with a high of 7045 points has a total market value of 9.3 trillion US dollars.

The drop of more than 600 points in a single day made the total market value of the entire Nasdaq market evaporate 7300 billion U.S. dollars in one day.

Sadness is everywhere!

Chapter 1113

Chapter 1113 Even though Nash’s sudden collapse did not make Simon as anxious as many new technology investors, he still worked on Monday until nearly seven o’clock in the evening before returning to Cape Dume Manor. .

By the time Simon gets home, the Oscars have started an hour across the city.

After all, it was such a big thing as the stock market crash, and Janet didn't have any free time this day. When she saw her man come back, she immediately rushed to hang Simon for credit, with a look of hard work.

Simon had to walk into the restaurant with Janet in his arms.

Talk while walking.

The topic is still Nafia.

Janet, who was being hugged by Princess Simon, raised her face, her eyes skillfully stared at the little stars: "First of all, I would like to congratulate you, my dear, at 10 o'clock this morning, when the Nasdaq index was 7045, your personal net worth reached a maximum of 2.3 trillion U.S. dollars , which is equivalent to 1996% of the federal GDP of 8 trillion US dollars in 28, second only to Germany, which has a GDP of 32.5 trillion US dollars, and can be ranked No. 4."

Simon smiled and said, "Just say 'but', I can hold on."

"But," Janet curled her lips, "in just one day, this figure has dropped to 2.1 trillion US dollars, a drop of about 8%. 2000 billion US dollars of assets have disappeared out of thin air, and more will disappear in the future."

Said to have entered the restaurant.

Simon put Janet on the chair, went to say hello to Jennifer and the little guy in the woman's belly, and did not forget the children at the table, and finally brought Melbourne to sit at the table.

In the past, I didn't watch TV much during meals, but today is the Oscars, which is a bit of an exception.

As soon as he sat down, Simon glanced at the TV screen that was turned on on one side of the dining room wall.

Just happens to be a corner award for Best Costume Design.

The award presenters are Natasha Henstridge and Megan Gale, the two heroines of "Alien 2", which was just released last Friday, and the two women are the award presenters. Obviously there are factors to gain exposure for "Alien 2" in it.

This is actually the custom.

Careful people observe every Oscar, and it is easy to find some patterns. Except for the nominated filmmakers, most of the other Hollywood stars participating in the awards ceremony will have their new works released that year.

Stars support Oscar, and Oscar exposes stars, which is a win-win situation.

As for the award presenters, apart from the fact that actor awards are often awarded by award-winning actors of the opposite sex from the previous generation, and this is not absolute, the award presenters for other projects are not randomly selected by the Oscar Organizing Committee, and they all have their own considerations.

Just like the two generations of alien girls on stage at this time, they are obviously here to promote "Alien 2", which is currently being released.

Of course, this kind of guest pit position is not something that anyone can get on if they want to, it still depends on the strength of their connections.

The nominations for the Best Costume Awards are "The English Patient", "Emma", "Hamlet", "A Lady's Color" and "Madame Peron". After the introduction of the nominations, Natasha Henstridge opened the envelope in her hand , glanced at it, and then slightly turned to Meghan Gale next to her. The two girls approached the microphone to announce the award results.

The English Patient.

Amid the applause, Ann Ross, the costume design director of "The English Patient", got up from the audience, hugged the crew and crew around her one by one, and then went on stage.

In the dining room of the Shell Villa, Janet didn't tease someone around her with the two alien girls because sitting around her were the little ones who had begun to understand the words of adults, but she still curled her lips and said, "The traces of public relations are too obvious."

Of the five nominated films, the other four are period dramas that pay great attention to the details of costume design. "The English Patient" is a modern drama.Now, it happened that this movie won the Oscar statuette, and any onlookers with a little brain can feel that it is tricky.

Simon glanced at a certain designer who was delivering his award acceptance speech on the TV screen, and said with a smile: "It's really a bit too much, but after spending so much public relations resources, it is inevitable for the judges to vote for "The English Patient". You can’t emphasize that you don’t need to vote for this award, can you?”

Jennifer also said at this time: "Aren't you afraid that the academy will react sooner or later and deliberately target our movies?"

"I have voluntarily backed down to help them make a balance. If it is specifically targeted at us, it will become a scandal. Moreover, even if the academy wants to manipulate it, it can't do it. Thousands of judges, they can't lobby." Simon said, and said: "What's more, the Oscars are not that important to me. There are so many good movies in these years, I am the one who is supporting them."

Jennifer rolled her eyes slightly when she heard her man speak so domineeringly.

But Janet tilted her head and touched Simon's shoulder with a smile, pretending to be a nympho man who is so powerful and whom I admire.

The awards ceremony on TV continued, and Simon talked about other things: "I talked to Jim, Jeff, and Steve today, and it was still about cash reserves. From the collapse of the Nasdaq to the start of the Condor expansion, there must be There are a few months, including things in Asia in the second half of the year. Before that, I want to form a third-party accounting team to conduct a thorough investigation and audit of the financial status of each company to really ensure that the cash reserve data we have is true. reliable."

This idea was mainly inspired by the bankruptcy cases of WorldCom, Enron and other large companies after the new technology bubble burst.

Although Simon has been very strict with the financial supervision of the companies in the Westeros system over the years, the situation is too big now. If there are no omissions, even Simon himself does not believe it, so he plans to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the financial system of the entire system .

After Simon finished speaking, Jennifer just smiled and looked at Janet beside the man.

Janet pretended to be hesitant and wanted to whet her husband's appetite, but she didn't want Melbourne on the other side to say, "Dad, can NaNa come to the United States again? NaNa is the most suitable for this."

Jennifer lowered her head slightly, trying not to laugh out loud.

Janet pretended to be angry and reached over her man to catch the face of the eldest son on the other side, pinching and pinching while saying: "I think about NaNa all day, am I treating you badly?"

Melbourne really didn't understand how it had suffered such an unwarranted disaster.

What's more, to be honest, he is actually a very precocious five-year-old boy who thinks that in this family, NaNa is the best for him. It is said that he was thrown to Nana by his parents in just a few months Then there are grandpa and grandma, and Aunt Jenny who is busy with housework all day long at Cape Dume Manor.

As for my parents, alas, I don't need to talk about it.

Either way...

Fortunately, this time, Dad finally managed to be righteous, and quickly helped to separate his face from Mom's Claw. As for the fact that Mom's Claw went to Dad's waist later, it can only be regarded as not seeing.

Janet taught the father and son around her a lesson one by one, and finally said reluctantly: "I recently talked to Aunt Bing."

Simon said no more.

Melbourne did not dare to say more.

Jennifer still couldn't help laughing.

Then the dinner was over, and Simon was kicked out of the Cape Dume Manor by Janet, probably the kind that didn't have to come back before Easter on Sunday.

Annoying to see.

Simon arrived ahead of schedule at the Sunset Tower Hotel, where the Melisandre party would be held as usual, and the awards ceremony continued.

As soon as they entered the hotel lobby, several girls sitting in the rest area stood up and walked over. Among them, the slender and tall girl in a white suspender dress walked in front. After approaching Simon, she was somewhat hesitant until the man smiled and opened his eyes. He opened his arms and threw himself into his arms, but it was Zhu Momo.

Simon hugged the girl who obviously felt a lot thinner in his arms. After a while, the two separated, and found that the girl's eyes contained mist, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Momo looked up in embarrassment, wanting to take back her tears, with grievance in her tone: "Simon, I thought you didn't want me anymore"

Simon smiled and said, "I usually don't take the initiative to dump any girls, they are the ones who get dumped."

Zhu Momo turned her head slightly to reflect some meaning in the man's words, but she didn't say much.There are too many women around him to count, and it's no secret that, as she is, she can't even think about it, so she just turned sideways, took the man's arm, and introduced the other women who followed: "Simon, This is my aunt, Mo Wuling. There is also Sister Ren, Ren Jingxi. Also, this is An Xiaohan, she is my agent in China."

In fact, there are five girls in total, and Zhu Momo did not introduce the last two obvious maids from the Wei family.

Simon didn't mind the obvious intimacy in Zhu Momo's words. He smiled and shook hands with Mo Wuling and the three of them while looking at them.

Mo Wuling is very recognizable, because she is somewhat similar to Mo Yiling and even Zhu Momo who had talked with Simon before, and her soft face makes her prettier than Zhu Momo. At this time, she is wearing a black female dress The suit gave her a somewhat familiar air, the only difference was that she was not as tall as Zhu Momo.

Ren Jingxi is a girl with a melon-shaped face, with a ponytail, also wearing a black women's suit, with fair skin, slightly shorter than Mo Wuling, and only 1.7 meters high on high heels, but it must be in China. The tall one, compared to Mo Wuling and An Xiaohan's obvious capableness, Ren Jingxi's demeanor tends to be weak, with a bit of obvious bookish air.
