Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Although he confirmed with his own eyes that Titanic directed by James Cameron is still so authentic in terms of disaster, love, special effects, etc., Tang Huan really dare not take the box office sales for granted.

After all, whether the audience buys it depends on many factors, and most of them are accidental. However, Titanic is so attention-grabbing that it can even be called ostentatious, and it is not impossible for an accident to occur during the screening.

Therefore, for the outside world, the box office bombs such as Water World from the year before last, and even ishtar - Ishtar from 1987, Heaven's_gate - Heaven's Gate from 1980, To use an analogy of gloating, Tang Daheng has turned into the motivation to urge his subordinates to work hard.

James Cameron, who was engaged in such a big project for the first time, felt uneasy, so he voluntarily gave up his $8 million remuneration.

It is impossible for Tang Huan to treat this serious director badly. While accepting his decision, he made a clear promise—then you just wait to get the bonus, which is at least twice the $8 million.

Titanic took a gentle spin at the 50th Cannes Film Festival held in early May this year. Although it was a bit disappointing that it didn't win any awards, the response from the audience was still very good; and The New York Times, Variety Show magazine and other media in the United States also gave positive comments.

At a test screening held later in Minnesota, the United States, Titanic received a higher evaluation, coupled with the word-of-mouth effect contributed by the Internet, this potential for large-scale releases has solidly created Get up - Tang Huan, the big boss, doesn't have to ask every day.

In the release plan determined from this, the release time in North America will not exceed early July at the latest; and considering that Mr. Richest Man, who plans to attend the premiere ceremony, also needs to attend the return ceremony of Xiangjiang, it will have to be arranged until June.

This summer, there are quite a few notable contenders for Titanic, such as Jurassic Park: The Lost World, Speed ​​2, Batman and Robin, Men in Black , Air Force One, etc., and even John Woo's Two Heroes must be counted in it.

In this case, Titanic must highlight its selling points.

Although there is no lack of media to say that Titanic is a derivative of an old Hollywood cliché love story, Tang Huan, as a comer, remembers this epic movie too much, which makes the audience happy.

To put it bluntly, on this magnificent ship displayed with the help of computer special effects, the hero Jack, who belongs to a poor boy but full of adventurous spirit, can cross social divides such as class and wealth. Soaking in the noble lady-and then making the male audience enjoyable; and the heroine Ruth can get a love that transcends life and death, which makes the female audience cry.

What happened to the cliche? Everyone like this one! And the scene restored by James Cameron more than half a century ago is so brilliant that it sublimates all the so-called clichés.

Ever since, on his personal homepage, Mr. Richest held Disaster and Love from left to right, and cheered for Titanic - when you walk into the cinema to enjoy, don't forget to bring Tissues for wiping tears!

It has to be said that the influence of the Internet is becoming greater and greater, and hype such as movie word-of-mouth has just caught up with a good time to shake the wind and rain.

...

The richest man is keen to release Titanic in advance, largely because his addiction of doing experiments and seeking truth has been committed again-if the negative effects of the Asian financial turmoil are slightly avoided, this film What level can the box office of an epic masterpiece reach in the end? For example, will it break the $2 billion mark?

In fact, the Asian financial turmoil is wind and rain in Siam at this time.

When international speculators borrowed as much as US$15 billion from banks in Siam in early February of this year on multiple-month forward baht contracts,

Then after a large-scale sell-off in the foreign exchange market, the exchange rate of the Thai baht began to fluctuate abnormally.

Just as the exchange rate of the British pound was closely tied to the strong German mark under the European exchange rate system, the exchange rate of the Siamese baht has been staring at the dollar of the United States, the world's number one power, for a long time. The era took the initiative to depreciate several times, and finally fixed at the level of 25 baht to 1 US dollar, and it has remained so far.

Therefore, under this system, the central bank of Siam naturally has to resolutely defend the status of its national currency. After realizing this wave of short-selling attacks launched by international speculators, it used 2 billion US dollars of foreign exchange reserves to stabilize the currency. Thai baht exchange rate.

On March 4 this year, the Central Bank of Siam required nine financial companies and one housing loan company with liquidity problems to increase capital by US$317 million; and required banks and other financial institutions to increase the ratio of bad debt reserves from 100 to 100 million. % to a range of 115% to 120% -- a move that boosted the financial system's reserves by $1.94 billion.

It is a pity that as early as last year, some bad signs in the Siamese financial system made investors with a keen sense of smell uneasy; The decline in confidence in Siam Financial Institutions triggered a run of almost US$577 million.

At the same time, investors sold a large number of stocks of banks and financial companies, causing the Siam stock market to fall continuously, further increasing the pressure on the foreign exchange market.

It is nothing more than that Siam's determination to defend is indeed very firm. With the vigorous intervention of the Central Bank of Siam, the Siamese stock market and foreign exchange market have temporarily stabilized.

But the problem here is that Siam has basically released all the big moves it can use, but in the end it only withstood a round of attacks.

The same is true.

After the time came to May 7 this year, international speculators began to quietly establish positions in spot and forward foreign exchange transactions through foreign banks operating offshore businesses. The borrowed Thai baht was sold in large quantities in the spot and forward markets, short selling the currency, causing its spot exchange rate to fall sharply, breaking through the exchange rate floating limit stipulated by the Central Bank of Siam many times, causing extreme panic in the market again.

At this stage, local banks and companies in Siam, as well as foreign banks, are selling Thai baht to buy US dollars on the spot, or doing forward value hedging transactions between Thai baht and US dollar. As a result, Siam’s financial market has further deteriorated. Depreciated to the level of 26.94:1.

In the face of this round of shocks, the Central Bank of Siam used about 5 billion US dollars of foreign exchange reserves to intervene, and obtained different forms of support from the central banks of countries and regions such as Japan and Singapore.

On the other hand, the Central Bank of Siam took the last resort of resistance - raising the offshore lending rate to 1000% and prohibiting Bank of Siam from lending Thai baht.

Ever since, under the intervention of this series of internal and external repair measures, the exchange rate of the Thai baht has stabilized, and the Central Bank of Siam has temporarily controlled the situation.

But what next?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that Siam's current situation is at the end of its rope.

So, what about the international speculators?

People will definitely not give up—the previous methods are just a foreshadowing, but now they are waiting for a smooth harvest.

As for the role played by the richest man, he tried to analyze the situation thoroughly through the computer centers distributed in San Francisco, Paris, Xiangjiang, Funan, etc., and then quietly followed George Soros, following the sheep. Herd effect, be one of many sheep.

The more hunting he participated in, the deeper Tang Huan's understanding-this special thing is war!

Not to mention how victims like Siam have their own problems, they deserve it! And George Soros advocated I didn't create an economic crisis, I just let the economic bubble burst in advance.

It's a very simple truth - in the scorching summer, should a beautiful woman in cool clothes be molested by you? Should a landlord who is not good at financial management be designed by you to snatch the heirloom?

Not to mention that an important Western country like the UK is also fairly robbed by international investors.

Afterwards, the further separation of the UK from the European Union, and the fact that the Bank of England was once again free from government control this year, isn’t that meaningful enough?

And after every economic crisis like this, without exception, the International Monetary Fund showed up gorgeously to clean up the mess everywhere, and the recipients should not naively think that the other party is a selfless angel infused with the Holy Light. Such harsh conditions are absolutely indispensable.

To put it bluntly, for a long time, almost all countries that have practiced a market economy have been influenced by the three major institutions, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the Bank for International Settlements, which has even made people vigilant and disgusted; and now, international investors This role of playing a bad face came at the right time.

It has to be said that with the improvement of the level of vision, and even enjoying the God's perspective occasionally, the causal relationship in this world is not difficult to understand-Mr. Richest Man is so familiar with it.

With George Soros at the front to bear all the infamy, Tang Huan made this shot with more ingredients to make the Tom Yum Kung soup more delicious.

This does not conflict with the goal of the richest man who attends the APEC summit every time, the goal of running forces in the Asia-Pacific region-this time hunting Siam, making money is second, and other intentions are the most important.

However, Tang Huan was also worried about his own experimental field - Funan, which is next to Siam. A fire at the city gate would affect the fish in the pond.

For this reason, the richest man secretly went to the Funan Consulate in San Francisco to learn about the situation carefully with the special envoy sent by his uncle Han Anyuan.

Siam can be regarded as the most stable country in Southeast Asia after the end of World War II. Even though military coups occurred frequently, this method of power change was mature enough to allow for a smooth transition.

On the other hand, Funan, although under the intervention of the richest man, the state of war ended almost 10 years earlier, but the damage caused by the war in the previous 10 years was too heavy. Therefore, even if the speed of post-war recovery and economic development is eye-catching, but On the whole, the country's financial system is not as open as Siam, which is Hanoukville, a special zone, which is considered to be in line with international standards.

Under such circumstances, after the disaster of neighboring Siam, Funan can basically look out for itself.

In the final analysis, the current Prime Minister of Siam, Chavalit Yongchaiyut, has problems in his response, unlike Han Anyuan, who was instructed by his nephew, and made the worst plan early.

...

Tang Huan, who was relieved, turned around and dealt with the family affairs again - sending his eldest cousin Han Sining back to China.

From the very beginning, although the grandfather didn't say it clearly, he actually hoped that Han Sining, the eldest grandson of the Han family, would come back as soon as possible after he had successfully studied in the United States, but the delay until now made the old man really unhappy.

Han Sining, who was a bit wild outside, was quite reluctant to part with his position as CEO.

Tang Huan said bluntly: Okay, let's broaden your horizons and accumulate some experience, and you'll be considered complete—the investment environment in China is just right for pioneering. You can go back and make good use of it.

Han Sining pretended: Do you think that I took advantage of you and my work performance was unsightly, so that's why you drove me away?

Tang Huan cursed dumbfoundedly: Hurry up and get out, if you have any complaints, go home and make trouble.

Han Sining asked eagerly: I'm leaving, what about ICQ? It's so difficult that I let my nephews do it?

I've already figured out how to deal with it. Tang Huan replied slowly, ICQ has already found a buyer who is willing to take over - America Online, which is rich and powerful, is willing to pay 290 million US dollars to acquire ICQ.

Speaking of this, Tang Huan stared at his eldest cousin, and pointed out seriously: You can get a considerable part of this transaction, and the income can also stand the audit - when you go back, no matter what you do, you can pay for it. It can be done with ease.”

Seeing that the overall situation has been settled, Han Sining sighed and said, ICQ is the brainchild of my elder nephews, so you are so willing to sell it as soon as you say it.

The competition in the instant messaging market in the United States is fierce, and icq is not a unique and irreplaceable Internet social product. Of course, we have to take advantage of the good market. The richest man waved his hand impatiently, Besides, America Online is not a big deal. outsider.

Han Sining nodded resentfully, You're my brother, of course it makes sense - I'll tell my elder nephews later and see how you can convince them.

Tang Huan snorted, Do these little guys dare to go to the house to expose the tiles?

As a result, when it was time for dinner, Jinying, Jinjie, Jinjia, and Jinyan hurried back and asked confidently, Dad, after icq is sold, how much can us entrepreneurs get?
