With Gao Xian's rich resources at present, as long as he can accurately grasp the trend of the general trend, he can make money lying down and fully interpret the "Matthew effect" that the stronger the strong and the richer the rich.
As for the importance of enriching resources, just give the simplest example. For example, when you know that the interest rate of the banking industry is going to rise from the lowest point, or that a large enterprise facing bankruptcy will regain its vitality, it is obvious that the return after an investment of 10000 yuan is very different from that of 100 million yuan.
As for the importance of accurate grasp, it is also easy to understand. Take the stock market frenzy in Xiangjiang in the early 1970s. The rise of the Hang Seng index above 1700 is not a rigid "game setting", but just a general trend that can be used as a reference. Gao Xian still needs to think carefully, because he has entered the game, and the impact will become an unpredictable factor that can not be ignored. If it is rigid, It is likely to become cannon fodder like ordinary people.
Alan Greenspan, a senior economic adviser, has played a role in helping Gao Xian accurately grasp the trend of the general trend. Gao Xian has benefited a lot from communicating with him.
However, if Alan Greenspan really succeeds in "self marketing" and becomes the chairman of the Federal Reserve as in the "old script", then Alan Greenspan and Gao Xian will have to keep a distance, and Gao Xian will lose a senior economic adviser who can speak freely.
Of course, these are things in the future. Now Gaoxian just make full use of this "tool man".
Alan Greenspan felt very happy to serve as a teacher for Gao Xian, a modest and studious tycoon. During his few days in Toronto, he temporarily forgot the troubles of the outside world.
During this period, Gao Xian happened to let Alan Greenspan see a new thing - the enhanced ibm-pc
The reason why it is called enhanced is mainly reflected in two aspects: one is that the display performance of IBM-PC is further improved to enrich the data perspective of document format and spreadsheet, and the other is the groundbreaking built-in 5.25-inch hard disk.
At this stage, hard disk is mainly used in the enterprise market. The most popular specification is 8 inches, and the maximum is 12 inches. The capacity can reach hundreds of MB, which can not even compare with one tenth of the memory capacity of smart phone, one of the "small" hardware terminals; The hard disk introduced by the enhanced IBM-PC has a capacity of only five MB, but the price alone is as high as $1500, which is equivalent to the retail price of a second-generation Apple computer.
The reason why the price of hard disk, a new memory introduced by personal computers, is so high is mainly because the production scale has not increased, resulting in the inability to effectively share the cost.
Fortunately, the market demand driven by personal computers is growing explosively, and the blue giant, who was originally the inventor of hard disk, has natural advantages in industrialized large-scale production of hard disk. The selling point of enhanced IBM-PC is sufficient!
Of course, Alan Greenspan doesn't understand the technical details of such personal computers at all, and Gao Xian doesn't have so much time to do popular science. What he really shows each other is a securities information retrieval system running on the enhanced IBM-PC platform.
In fact, several years ago, some institutions, including the waist twisting times, developed a stock price retrieval system using the world-leading communication network in the United States.
In contrast, the information system implemented by Gao Xian's subordinates is naturally very different.
First of all, the top priority is the server located in the background and responding to information retrieval requirements, which integrates many research results, including RISC processor, UNIX porting, relational database and so on.
Secondly, the network software that helps the enhanced IBM-PC to retrieve information online through the public telephone network is basically compatible with TCPIP, which has not yet become the standard of ARPANET communication protocol.
"The share price information of the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq compiled by Gaoyi in cooperation with Hearst group can be queried remotely through this personal computer." Gao Xian skillfully tapped the keyboard, or entered accurate stock codes, or entered fuzzy matching characters, and used them with interest. Finally, he even generated a trend chart on the local computer, But the waiting time for network transmission is obviously long.
Alan Greenspan sighed: "my office uses IBM-PC to process documents, which is far more efficient than the old word processor. I thought it was the greatest use of personal computer. I didn't expect you to give it so many powerful and practical functions."
Gao Xian sadly patted the telephone next to him. "Unfortunately, the cost of the data line of the communication network is too high. Just now, with such a little effort, it will add more than ten dollars to the bill."
Alan Greenspan smiled: "there is no way. At & T monopolizes the communication market in the United States, controls the telephone business in Canada through Northern Telecom, and the pricing power is in their hands."
"However, for investors whose time is money, in order to get information faster, these communication costs should be worth it."
Gao Xian joked: "before being considered value for money, it must first be widely known by people in real demand in the circle."
"Alan, you're a hot economist. I'll send you some systems in the office. If you have a chance, help promote them."
"By the way, you can't think that only the applications just shown on the platform, such as the sending and receiving function of e-mail, have unique advantages over telephone and fax."
Alan Greenspan laughed loudly. "I'm afraid I'm only good at studying macroeconomics and can't impress professionals who pay more attention to microeconomics."
……
Like a lantern, Nixon returned from Panama after Alan Greenspan left.
First of all, nikkson mentioned King Pahlavi's condition with Gao Xian, "it's not optimistic. The doctor's diagnosis is cancer and obvious splenomegaly. Even if you have an operation immediately, it's estimated that you won't live for a few years."
"Cancer..." Gao Xian murmured: "in fact, when King Pahlavi was in exile in Switzerland, he had conditions for surgery, but he insisted on surgery in the United States."
"Unfortunately, there are bound to be many obstacles." nikkson shook his head. "Carter's main house is now holding the attitude that more is better than less. I hope King Pahlavi can stay as far away from the United States as possible."
Gao Xian secretly disdains that the politicians in the United States have their own ways, not to mention the dictators of South Korea and South Vietnam who fled to the United States a few years ago. Not long ago, the overthrown Nicaraguan President Anastasio somosa de Bayle fled to Miami, Florida.
Anastasio somosa debaille is very famous for his greed. According to the public disclosure of the media, the accumulated wealth of the Somoza family is between us $2 billion and US $4 billion. Anastasio somosa debaille and his associates own US $1 billion, and the fuse of this resistance storm, It can be traced back to the 1972 earthquake in Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. Most of the international support materials and donations were embezzled, which aroused the fierce indignation of the people.
In short, with the support of the United States, the Somoza family, which has been under dictatorship in Nicaragua since 1936, has done a lot of work for the United States, such as helping the United States invade the bay of pigs in Cuba in the 1960s and armed intervention in Dominica.
Now that the United States is going to set up a memorial archway, it has become indifferent to the Somoza family.
Thinking of this, Gao Xian said tentatively: "the former president of Nicaragua, Anastasio somosa de Bayle, has not entered Miami. Can't King Pahlavi refer to it?"
"It's really not suitable to compare the two. It's unlikely that President Carter will officially approve the exile application of Anastasio somosa de Bayle. I'll inform the relevant parties about King Pahlavi." nikzon, who has found room to play, looks energetic, "By the way, I also met Omar Torrijos, the ruler of Panama, to remind you that although Omar Torrijos has not made a statement about King Pahlavi's stay in San Jose, he is likely to show his opposition from the perspective of safeguarding his rule."
See Gao Xianning's eyebrows thinking, niksson further explained: "Even though the Carter administration and Panama signed the agreement on the return of the Panama Canal in 1999, the anti American sentiment of Panamanians can not be completely eliminated. When international attention is paid to the arrival of King Pahlavi on San Jose Island, which has aroused repercussions among the Panamanian people, Omar Torrijos may be angry with the American League in order to maintain his authoritarian ruling position Friends, very disgusted. "
As the saying goes, politicians know politicians' thinking best, and Gao Xian understands the stakes at once.
Before nikkson left, he summed up a meaningful sentence, "King Pahlavi is really worth visiting San Jose in person."
Gao Xian followed good advice and set off immediately. In his eyes, King Pahlavi's stay in San Jose is just a slightly special business. Since the situation is delicate, of course he should hurry up.
Before boarding the plane, Gao Xian specially found a set of exquisite Royal tableware from his "portable collection" and a picture scroll recording the grand occasion of the 2500 anniversary celebration of the founding of the Persian Empire held by King pahlavish money in 1971.
After arriving at the resort in San Jose, Gao Xian booed the haggard King Pahlavi, "are your majesty and queen used to the living conditions here?"
King Pahlavi nodded and said, "this is the most comfortable place for me to live since I left Tehran."
Gao Xian can taste the meaning of King Pahlavi's words. In places like Monaco, the reason for receiving his exiled king is to take a share of King Pahlavi's rich wealth. Maybe King Pahlavi will die inexplicably when he is not frightened.
At this time, the waiters who had been instructed put the tableware on the table with food and drink; at the same time, the picture roll was carefully hung.
Gao Xian said with regret: "Your Majesty, the complexity of the situation in Tehran exceeded my expectations. In a hurry, only these two things and a car in your collection were reluctantly transported out."
"However, the car was sent to Xiangjiang River by sea from Turkey not long ago, so it can't be seen by your majesty for the time being."
Looking at these things, King Pahlavi's tears fell with a click.
It can be said that the celebration of the 2500 anniversary of the founding of the Persian Empire was the peak of King Pahlavi's life; But now, he is a restless exile. How can he not be dejected by comparison!
Gao Xian was also moved by the scene he carefully created, but he was a little secretly worried that King Pahlavi was so ill that he wouldn't faint because of excessive sadness?
The big director was planning, and King Pahlavi put away his sadness and said, "Sir Gao, I like the environment here very much. I heard that you invested more than $100 million for this desert island. I don't know whether you can resell it to me. In terms of price, I'm willing to offer $400 million."
Upon hearing this, he tasted the high string of his own director's works, and felt like he was flashed. The king is the king. Being down is just an appearance!
"Since your majesty likes it, of course I'm willing to make people beautiful." Gao Xian mused, "it's just that such a big deal must be agreed by the Panama government. Even if it can be reached, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble."
King Pahlavi sighed, "Sir Gao, let's try to operate it. We have been wandering for a long time. We urgently want a place that can calm our body and mind."
Gao Xian touched his beard and didn't answer immediately. King Pahlavi lavished $400 million on the acquisition of San Jose, which certainly moved him, but it was uncertain whether the operation would succeed in the end. Maybe it would become a big cake drawn by King Pahlavi in order to summon a silly boy.
It seems that aware of the concerns of the tall director, King Pahlavi trembled and took out a document, "these are some assets of the royal family in Western Europe and the United States, worth more than $100 million. Please deal with them. If the transaction is successful, it will be the first payment; if the transaction cannot be reached, it will set up a fund to ensure the future life of my queen and children."
Gao Xian looked at the document carefully, and finally his eyes fell on a power of attorney. He couldn't help but move in his heart, "maybe this is the real harvest of this trip."
You know, the wealth that can be placed on the table must withstand the scrutiny of the dragon to the pulse, otherwise, there will be no word "money laundering".
This power of attorney can make it easier for Gaoxian to dispose of some assets.
"Well, I'd like to try my best for your majesty." Gao Xian was finally moved and relaxed.
Seeing this, King Pahlavi smiled imperceptibly and took out another letter, "in addition, I would like to ask Sir Gao to hand this letter to David Rockefeller."
Gao Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "why didn't your majesty ask him to do it for you when nikkson came before?"
King Pahlavi's eyes fell on the painting and replied faintly, "now I prefer to believe in Sir Gao rather than a ruling family."
Gao Xian touched his nose and muttered to himself, "the philosophical flavor of your words is a little strong."
King Pahlavi took back his eyes and explained frankly: "to tell Sir Gao, I have close contacts with Chase Bank led by David Rockefeller. Last year alone, it involved a sum of $500 million; but now those in power in Tehran will try their best to withdraw the money from Chase Bank."
"At present, David Rockefeller is the chairman of the Foreign Relations Association, the most influential foreign policy think tank in the United States. I want him to exert his energy to influence the Carter palace and allow me to enter the United States for surgery as soon as possible."
It turned out to be a run. For the sake of money, try your best.
Gao Xian, who made clear the reason, picked up the letter happily, "Your Majesty, rest assured that I will personally hand this letter to David Rockefeller."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
With Gao Xian's rich resources at present, as long as he can accurately grasp the trend of the general trend, he can make money lying down and fully interpret the "Matthew effect" that the stronger the strong and the richer the rich.
As for the importance of enriching resources, just give the simplest example.

……
Like a lantern, Nixon returned from Panama after Alan Greenspan left.

"Carter's main house is now holding the attitude that more is better than less. I hope King Pahlavi can stay as far away from the United States as possible."Gao Xian secretly disdains that the politicians in the United States have their own ways, not to mention the dictators of South Korea and South Vietnam who fled to the United States a few years ago. Not long ago, the overthrown Nicaraguan President Anastasio somosa de Bayle fled to Miami, Florida.Anastasio somosa debaille is very famous for his greed. According to the public disclosure of the media, the accumulated wealth of the Somoza family is between us $2 billion and US $4 billion. Anastasio somosa debaille and his associates own US $1 billion, and the fuse of this resistance storm, It can be traced back to the 1972 earthquake in Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. Most of the international support materials and donations were embezzled, which aroused the fierce indignation of the people.In short, with the support of the United States, the Somoza family, which has been under dictatorship in Nicaragua since 1936, has done a lot of work for the United States, such as helping the United States invade the bay of pigs in Cuba in the 1960s and armed intervention in Dominica.Now that the United States is going to set up a memorial archway, it has become indifferent to the Somoza family.Thinking of this, Gao Xian said tentatively: "the former president of Nicaragua, Anastasio somosa de Bayle, has not entered Miami. Can't King Pahlavi refer to it?""It's really not suitable to compare the two. It's unlikely that President Carter will officially approve the exile application of Anastasio somosa de Bayle. I'll inform the relevant parties about King Pahlavi." nikzon, who has found room to play, looks energetic, "By the way, I also met Omar Torrijos, the ruler of Panama, to remind you that although Omar Torrijos has not made a statement about King Pahlavi's stay in San Jose, he is likely to show his opposition from the perspective of safeguarding his rule."See Gao Xianning's eyebrows thinking, niksson further explained: "Even though the Carter administration and Panama signed the agreement on the return of the Panama Canal in 1999, the anti American sentiment of Panamanians can not be completely eliminated. When international attention is paid to the arrival of King Pahlavi on San Jose Island, which has aroused repercussions among the Panamanian people, Omar Torrijos may be angry with the American League in order to maintain his authoritarian ruling position Friends, very disgusted. "As the saying goes, politicians know politicians' thinking best, and Gao Xian understands the stakes at once.Before nikkson left, he summed up a meaningful sentence, "King Pahlavi is really worth visiting San Jose in person."Gao Xian followed good advice and set off immediately. In his eyes, King Pahlavi's stay in San Jose is just a slightly special business. Since the situation is delicate, of course he should hurry up.Before boarding the plane, Gao Xian specially found a set of exquisite Royal tableware from his "portable collection" and a picture scroll recording the grand occasion of the 2500 anniversary celebration of the founding of the Persian Empire held by King pahlavish money in 1971.After arriving at the resort in San Jose, Gao Xian booed the haggard King Pahlavi, "are your majesty and queen used to the living conditions here?"King Pahlavi nodded and said, "this is the most comfortable place for me to live since I left Tehran."Gao Xian can taste the meaning of King Pahlavi's words. In places like Monaco, the reason for receiving his exiled king is to take a share of King Pahlavi's rich wealth. Maybe King Pahlavi will die inexplicably when he is not frightened.At this time, the waiters who had been instructed put the tableware on the table with food and drink; at the same time, the picture roll was carefully hung.Gao Xian said with regret: "Your Majesty, the complexity of the situation in Tehran exceeded my expectations. In a hurry, only these two things and a car in your collection were reluctantly transported out.""However, the car was sent to Xiangjiang River by sea from Turkey not long ago, so it can't be seen by your majesty for the time being."Looking at these things, King Pahlavi's tears fell with a click.It can be said that the celebration of the 2500 anniversary of the founding of the Persian Empire was the peak of King Pahlavi's life; But now, he is a restless exile. How can he not be dejected by comparison!Gao Xian was also moved by the scene he carefully created, but he was a little secretly worried that King Pahlavi was so ill that he wouldn't faint because of excessive sadness?The big director was planning, and King Pahlavi put away his sadness and said, "Sir Gao, I like the environment here very much. I heard that you invested more than $100 million for this desert island. I don't know whether you can resell it to me. In terms of price, I'm willing to offer $400 million."Upon hearing this, he tasted the high string of his own director's works, and felt like he was flashed. The king is the king. Being down is just an appearance!"Since your majesty likes it, of course I'm willing to make people beautiful." Gao Xian mused, "it's just that such a big deal must be agreed by the Panama government. Even if it can be reached, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble."King Pahlavi sighed, "Sir Gao, let's try to operate it. We have been wandering for a long time. We urgently want a place that can calm our body and mind."Gao Xian touched his beard and didn't answer immediately. King Pahlavi lavished $400 million on the acquisition of San Jose, which certainly moved him, but it was uncertain whether the operation would succeed in the end. Maybe it would become a big cake drawn by King Pahlavi in order to summon a silly boy.It seems that aware of the concerns of the tall director, King Pahlavi trembled and took out a document, "these are some assets of the royal family in Western Europe and the United States, worth more than $100 million. Please deal with them. If the transaction is successful, it will be the first payment; if the transaction cannot be reached, it will set up a fund to ensure the future life of my queen and children."Gao Xian looked at the document carefully, and finally his eyes fell on a power of attorney. He couldn't help but move in his heart, "maybe this is the real harvest of this trip."You know, the wealth that can be placed on the table must withstand the scrutiny of the dragon to the pulse, otherwise, there will be no word "money laundering".This power of attorney can make it easier for Gaoxian to dispose of some assets."Well, I'd like to try my best for your majesty." Gao Xian was finally moved and relaxed.Seeing this, King Pahlavi smiled imperceptibly and took out another letter, "in addition, I would like to ask Sir Gao to hand this letter to David Rockefeller."Gao Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "why didn't your majesty ask him to do it for you when nikkson came before?"King Pahlavi's eyes fell on the painting and replied faintly, "now I prefer to believe in Sir Gao rather than a ruling family."Gao Xian touched his nose and muttered to himself, "the philosophical flavor of your words is a little strong."King Pahlavi took back his eyes and explained frankly: "to tell Sir Gao, I have close contacts with Chase Bank led by David Rockefeller. Last year alone, it involved a sum of $500 million; but now those in power in Tehran will try their best to withdraw the money from Chase Bank.""At present, David Rockefeller is the chairman of the Foreign Relations Association, the most influential foreign policy think tank in the United States. I want him to exert his energy to influence the Carter palace and allow me to enter the United States for surgery as soon as possible."It turned out to be a run. For the sake of money, try your best.Gao Xian, who made clear the reason, picked up the letter happily, "Your Majesty, rest assured that I will personally hand this letter to David Rockefeller."
