Investment Life

After entering April, in Chen Yuanming's notepad, the invitations from the social area have been significantly reduced, no longer rushing around like a new Wall Street rookie, attending banquets full of money and benefits, not friendly. On the contrary, like the two big hedge fund leaders, his eyes once again pulled back to the London metal trading market.

After steadily falling for a month and a half, in early April, London futures copper suddenly started to rebound sharply. Facing the oppression of many hedge funds, the Binzhong Tainan, who claims to be 5% and controls the long-term copper long-term copper contract in London, was not intimidated by the surging financial predators, but launched a tenacious counterattack.

This counterattack did not come from the Binzhong Tainan or Sumitomo Group, but a joint counter-action of a complex force. It should be known that in the metal market, it is not only Canada or Europe that have money and power, but there are also many large metal dealers with equal power standing behind Bin Zhongtai. For these true miners and smelters, the drop in copper prices is by no means a good thing. It is timely to throw out the bills used to stabilize prices, and to pull the copper prices back to their original basis is where their interests and needs lie.

At the same time, some off-site hot money has also begun to evacuate. In the financial hunting field, although hedge funds have considerable eye-catching strength, which can affect the market's investment trend in the short term, it is definitely not a few oligarchs that rely on money for predation. Retailers of all sizes can also become one. Great influence. When the decline of more than a month began to enter the overall adjustment period, and even gradually rebounded, it was time for them to leave the sidelines.

Under these two factors, the momentum of copper recovery is almost irresistible. This stubborn attitude can greatly exceed the expectations of several hedge funds. You should know that Soros only thrown out 10 billion when it opposed the British government. Now it is only the copper market. Only one enemy resisted the pressure they exerted together. Such a tough attitude also surprised many people.

But again, no fund wants to give up its current offensive. Just in the past two months, without much external forces, aluminum futures in London fell by 10% of its own price, while in copper futures, it struggled for two months, with only a 5% drop, counting the leverage effect. But it is a profit of 50% -60%. For hedge funds that have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, such numbers are not wonderful.

Therefore, the two sides began the first round of overweight duel. Copper prices fluctuated at a high level of $ 2600-2700 per ton.

The war on the bright side is still hot, but after all, wrestling is just a money game for several predators. When the copper price fell to the lowest point, the Guoxing Fund quietly left the short side, changed its face, and turned into a multi-party camp. Because the operation is very secretive and mixed with those retail funds, no one can detect this change. With the rise of copper prices, this standard "wall-climbing group" began its second round of hunting. Of course, outside the financial markets, there are more wrist and political contests going on.

Seeing that the copper market is about to start a long-term tug-of-war, unlike Mr. Robertson and others' tough stance, Chen Yuanming is somewhat relaxed. The real turning point of the Sumitomo incident is the involvement of the British and American regulatory authorities. Without this political interference, it is still impractical to overthrow the dominance of Sumitomo Group or Binzhong Tainan on copper, so it is no surprise that the current copper When it rebounds again to 3,000 US dollars, the major hedge funds will enter a relatively balanced period, and will start to encourage the decision-making departments in the rear. When it comes back again, it should be the end of 1995.

The precious time in the middle half of the year is not wasted. After telling Sun Guoqiang in detail and giving instructions to Yuanyang's partners, Chen Yuanming pulled away from the deep pool on Wall Street and returned to the direction of Silicon Valley. In early April, after several companies' long R & D and industrialization exploration, DVD players were finally born.

At this time, the Sony-Philips DVD standard had just been released for less than 3 months, and the Toshiba-Warner camp was too similar to Feiyan's standard, and was still changing and improving its own standard. In general, it takes 1-2 years from the formulation of standards to product development, so no one can predict that Feiyan DVD player can appear to the world at such a speed.

Moreover, the product released by Feiyan this time is not just a simple player, but also has its own advanced anti-theft function, including the aps encryption technology to prevent the disc from being transcribed, and the cgms technology to prevent the disc from being copied and recorded. Cprm technology to prevent transcription of other media through video recording methods, coupled with the previous css area code protection measures, a complete and effective set of disc projection and protection technology has been formed.

The emergence of this set of anti-theft technology has far more significance than the birth of DVD players. At present, there are a series of well-known manufacturers developing DVD players on the market, including Sony, Philips, Toshiba, Panasonic, Pioneer, jvc, etc. As long as they have their own DVD standards, any of them can develop excellent finished products suitable for market. . However, this set of anti-theft measures has fundamentally solved the problem of copyright protection of DVD discs, so that the era of tape has begun to plague the major piracy companies. The problem of piracy has been solved.

And when several major film companies approved this set of anti-theft standards, it was impossible for any manufacturer to bypass this standard and produce independently. This not only involved the problem of patent rights, but also the common needs of the entire DVD disc camp. This general trend.

Two weeks after News Corp. and Feiyan jointly launched the DVD player conference, Paramount, Universal, Columbia, and Disney successively reached an agreement with Feiyan's DVD Alliance, adopting Feiyan's DVD standard and officially started production. A batch of DVDs.

However, for the entire world, DVD is still a brand new thing. How to promote it and replace it with the mature video rental market is still a very serious problem. In this regard, several companies have found their own teams for planning, and the idea of ​​the Eagles Nest Alliance has been widely recognized. Since it is an epoch-making product, it naturally depends on the characteristics of the product. The biggest difference between DVD and all other media is that it adds effective interaction between the producer and the audience.

In all the previous media, the audience can do the simple operations of "pause", "backward" and "fast forward" at most, but DVDs are completely different. The "menu" that appears on DVDs can be changed Subvert the existence of the entire viewing experience. Trivia, behind the scenes, Easter eggs, different audio tracks, jumpable paragraphs, all these are unheard of by the audience.

For real fans, they are likely to have seen this movie before buying DVDs, and have been impressed or even deeply remembered by the content of the movie, so what motivated them to spend more expensive than movie tickets, What about another DVD? Obviously, the real selling point lies in things they can't appreciate on the big and small screens. They want to see how the director made the film, they want to see the actors' evaluation of their roles or the plot, and they are curious about the cut-out cuts, and the surprise eggs that are deliberately hidden.

Any successful DVD is no longer a simple copy of the master disk, but a brand new artistic creation. Such an idea undoubtedly hit the hearts of both the producer and the audience. Beyond the box office, through DVD sales to get a second chance to make a profit, and show the production process of those secrets that make the filming staff smile, in front of all fans; outside of watching movies, more Learn more about how your favorite videos are shot, watch the scenes behind the corners, and re-know the hard work of directors and actors ... This communication method will undoubtedly bring the relationship between the film makers and the audience through love. Distance also opens another wide door for the entire Hollywood film industry.

"Watching a movie, still owning a movie." Yan Qiaosen looked at the advertisement in front of him and smiled. "The talents of advertising are still far from our technical staff ..."

As one of the major shareholders, Yan Qiaosen is certainly eligible to watch the commercials produced by Eagle Nest Entertainment for the promotion of DVDs. The dazzling operation menu mode, as well as the wonderful behind-the-scenes content and audio track display, are refreshing.

"This advertisement is only part of the disc. There are many other outstanding works." Chen Yuanming smiled, returned to the menu, and pressed the next to play.

The DVD offensive to be launched this time will affect more than the small screen of TV. There are also cinema lines, print media, and many other media, including the Internet. This is a true viral marketing aimed at completely opening the door of the DVD market. In order to promote this new medium, several other Hollywood giants have not stunned their energy, and have spent a lot of effort to make their own first DVDs. The real multimedia era will start with the promotion of DVDs.

One ad after another is constantly playing, and each one is full of new ideas. But if there is no basis for dvd playback mode, why are these ads born.

"This is a truly epoch-making technological innovation." With a slight sigh, Chen Yuanming turned off the player in his hand and looked solemnly at the man sitting beside him. "Professor Yan, I know that the development of a new generation of DVD discs has started at zero. This time, it will no longer be limited to 4g capacity, but will move towards double the order of magnitude. This big trend of optical storage is to try hard to grasp, but The small, mobile R & D that I said before can never stop. "

Waking up from the excitement of DVD, Yan Qiaosen smiled bitterly, "But you know that if we have such a magnetic storage device, our optical disc business may have come to an end ..."

"So what?" Chen Yuanming smiled proudly. "There is no such thing as an unchanging foundation in this world. If you don't want a new era expander, you can only become a gravekeeper in the old era. No one can guarantee that our anti-theft code can follow The changes in this era, one day, when the video anti-theft system is really cracked, and tens of thousands of movie mothers follow the optical fiber to enter thousands of households, we will be late to respond again. "

"In order not to be a gravekeeper, would you rather be a gravedigger?" Yan Qiaosen sighed softly. "I also paid attention to the realworks company that recently invested in Jinshi. The idea is very unique, maybe the Internet is really It ’s the direction of future development ... Okay, let's just be a hardware vendor. For those future changes, let the film industry headache. "

With the achievements at this stage and the development direction, Feiyan's prospects should be bright. When the DVD market in Europe and America is truly mature and the price of player production is further reduced, it is time to turn to this rich land on the mainland. But the beautiful vision has not yet been realized, and a shocking news came.

In Hong Kong, Feiyan vcd was completely squeezed out of the market.
