Start by trimming cow hooves

Matthew went to Washington to film and will soon join the cast of "House of Cards."

Daddario also went to the airport together, returning to New York to visit his family, this time planning to stay for a week.

The two cities are both located on the east coast of the United States, and are relatively close to each other. The flight only takes about an hour. Suri arranged a private jet to fly the siblings off.

Just after his girlfriend left, Suri went to have trysts with Barbara and Jessica one after another like a bird out of a cage.

However.

The originally harmonious life was suddenly broken by bad news.

When Su Rui learned that the share price of Penguin Group, which was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, plummeted 8.8% in a single day, he thought he had heard it wrong.

After reading the relevant information for the first time, I discovered that there was a conflict between Penguin Group and Sanriku Zero, which caused the market to be in a wait-and-see attitude. The negative prospects caused panic among investors, allowing short sellers to seize the opportunity and take advantage of it. big.

Suri still has a vague impression of the "Three Q War" incident in his previous life.

I can’t remember the cause clearly. It seems that the Penguin Group launched a computer butler type product, which touched the core interests of the Sanriku Group, and the two companies started to fight.

Approximately 500 million U.S. dollars of wealth evaporated overnight, and even Su Rui, who was wealthy, felt particularly painful.

Secretary Amanda was sitting in front of him now and suggested:

"Analysts believe that the impact of this incident is more serious than imagined. I think you should try short selling to hedge your risks."

Suri thought for a moment, shook his head and replied:

"I probably understand what you mean. It seems like there is just a conflict between two Internet companies, but behind it is a monopoly of giants, which may restrict the development of Penguin Group, right? The business environment in the mainland is different from that in the United States. Companies such as Penguin Group and Alibaba This kind of giant that spans multiple fields is almost impossible to exist in the United States. When Microsoft was suppressed and sued, it was because it tried to expand through a large number of users, which caused public outrage."

Secretary Amanda nodded and continued:

"I'm really worried that some new legal documents will be issued because of this matter. The scale of Penguin Group is too exaggerated. It also has many subsidiaries. Its business covers music, film and television, games, browsers, finance, etc., almost everything. Want to do it.”

If you look at the big companies in Silicon Valley, you will find that their business is generally concentrated in a certain industry.

For example, Facebook, which Suri holds a stake in, clearly has an astonishing number of users and enough funds in the account to expand into industries such as instant messaging, online shopping, and online games, but it has stuck to its advertising business.

When we acquired a ticket booking platform last year, we were cautious and did not dare to carry out large-scale publicity, which seemed a bit petty.

This is not to say that Mark Zuckerberg and other shareholders have no vision.

It’s really because once the red line is crossed and it causes resistance from other companies, Facebook will pay a heavy price.

Not only may a large number of advertising advertisers be lost, but the company itself may also face antitrust litigation.

For example, once Facebook enters the online game business, most other online game companies will choose to refuse to spend money on advertising on the Facebook platform.

If you start an online shopping business, you will also lose big investors such as Amazon and eBay.

If you are sure to use your own traffic to create a monopoly, you may be in trouble in the next few years and face sky-high punitive damages.

This has resulted in the Silicon Valley giants not easily developing across borders. They adhere to a tacit understanding that they will not affect each other as much as possible. Even if they try to develop new businesses, they try to find business opportunities in blank areas.

If shareholders are really optimistic about certain companies, they can invest additional money instead of trying to achieve a monopoly and concentrate all the money-making business in their own hands.

Doing this in the United States is tantamount to sending black materials into the hands of the enemy and begging the other party to prosecute you.

Even Hollywood film and television companies realized the separation of theater lines in the early years, separating the filming and production from the distribution and exhibition business to avoid the emergence of monopoly oligopolies.

And domestic.

It's not too strict in this regard. As long as you have enough strength, it's easy to expand across borders.

This is not the first time that Penguin Group has used its huge active user base to create products that kill other competitors. This time, it was kicked to the iron plate, and Sanriku Zero made the matter bigger.

but.

Thinking that I will still use Penguin Butler in the future shows that Sanriku Zero Company failed to stop its expansion in the end.

Since he holds 15% of the shares of Penguin Group, Suri quickly felt relieved and continued:

"For many start-up teams, facing competition from giants is a disaster."

“But for investors like me who have money, the relaxed regulatory atmosphere is obviously particularly beneficial. In fact, I am also trying to use Dongjing Mall to achieve a dominant position in group buying, takeout, taxi hailing, Internet finance and other fields. "

"The last time we raised more than 100 million US dollars, my shareholding in Dongjing Mall has exceeded 57%..."

It’s true that secretary Amanda likes to be lazy and fish out, but she is very smart.

Otherwise, how could she have stood out in the first place and been selected by Su Rui with her dazzling resume, and worked by his side for so many years.

After listening.

Secretary Amanda raised her eyebrows and asked, "You mean, do you think Penguin Group can win this time?"

"Yes, after the panic in the market subsides, the stock price may rebound soon, so what I should do is not short-selling and hedging, but seize the opportunity to go long, and short Sanlu Zero, which is listed on Nasdaq. , I remember its market value has exceeded 10 billion US dollars."

He reached out and picked up a new cigar from the cigar box. After trimming both ends, he lit it with a lighter and held it in his mouth.

Suri spoke again:

"The mainland's market size is exaggeratedly large and can fully accommodate several large companies. Sanriku Zero's industry is limited in scale and its prospects are obviously not as good as those of Penguin Group. To put it bluntly, these companies are registered in the Cayman Islands, and most of their major shareholders are foreign People, mainland officials are more concerned about issues such as increasing employment rates and realizing economic transformation. Even if stock prices plummet... the impact on the mainland economy will be particularly small."

After saying this, Secretary Amanda understood instantly.

Just like the sudden fight between Mercedes-Benz of Germany and General Motors of the United States, the above-mentioned parties will only pay a little attention to it, and it is difficult to make the big move that the market is worried about.

Since it is only a commercial dispute, it will ultimately be left to the market to resolve. As long as Penguin Group does not face antitrust troubles, there will be no basis for the stock price to fall.

The party that has been seized of the market belongs to Sanriku. Penguin Group has taken advantage of it, and the stock price should rise.

If Penguin Group goes to seize the market of state-owned enterprises such as securities companies, banks, insurance companies, etc., and tries its best to make overseas investors profit, then it is another matter. It can only be said that a certain payment software will be hit hard in the future. There is no doubt that There is a reason.

Although the Internet market is in full swing due to the "Three Q War", in Su Rui's eyes it is only a minor problem at best, and I believe calm will return soon.

The real big problem is that the photo of him and Jessica Alba going in and out of the restaurant was actually taken by someone else.

CBS TV station also focused on this incident in a news program...
