The Goddess Shines on America

It is impossible to say that the leaders of the major disaster-stricken countries in the country have not cared about their respective stock markets during the whole month. A sharp drop in the stock market will first cause companies across the country to be short of money, people in all walks of life will lose their savings, and corporate accounts will lose huge amounts of money. Difficulties in business operations will naturally lead to a wave of laid-offs and unemployment, which in turn will lead to a substantial increase in the number of unemployed people, increasing pressure on the social welfare system, and then the situation will quickly go from bad to worse.

If there are short sellers appearing at this time, it will definitely attract the extreme disgust of the Securities Regulatory Commission, so any country with a mature market will set up many regulations to restrict short selling, or use various other means to stabilize the market. For example, the Chinese stock market, although there are no restrictions on short selling, and even the process of "short selling must be sold before buying" is not stipulated, but at any rate, a single-day price limit is set.

But to be honest, 1.5 billion is actually not a big number.

Because this is her investment income on a global scale.

After this set of disasters, the loss of the US stock market is about 500 billion, which is equivalent to the annual GDP of France. If Alice got all the billions in the past four weeks from here, it should have attracted the attention of the Federal Reserve. Now, and the FBI must have been watching her for signs of violating market rules, in order to arrest her as soon as possible.

Such a smart girl certainly understands this truth, so when she was buying stocks sporadically more than a year ago, she searched for stocks around the world, and then set her sights on some codes that will skyrocket and plummet early. With so many countries and so many stock markets, this amount of money is naturally extremely inconspicuous. Although it is not the 21st century, there are only a few or two unicorns in Silicon Valley, and there are fewer billionaires in the stock market. But it's not how many waves a mere 1.5 billion can stir up.

However, this is after all considered from the perspective of the entire world under the premise of the most ideal state.

In terms of actual actions, when Alice held tens of millions of funds and shorted the huge funds of companies such as British Petroleum every second, many experts in the financial industry must still be fried. Furthermore, the big capitalists who have been cashed out will definitely not be honest, and will definitely communicate with the nobles of the House of Lords who are in the same social class. It is not surprising that a mere sentence was finally stabbed to the queen.

Then, a difficult problem was naturally placed in front of ***.

First of all, Alice did not violate the market trading rules. When you buy, it goes down, and when you sell it, it goes up. There are countless ratios of funds circulating in the London Stock Exchange every day around the world, and a profit of more than one billion is not a big deal in terms of the total amount.

But this is earned by one person after all.

When such a genius is presented to politicians, anyone with a normal IQ will choose to win him over instead of foolishly embarrassing him.

"Before I met you today, Alice, I had a very careful understanding of your situation."

Her Majesty the Queen said: "You seem to be very interested in investment. Although there are many companies under your umbrella, only one Cisco system and the clothing company in China have been established by hand. For other companies, you must either find a way Buying shares, or direct acquisitions, are all investment behaviors.”

"So I'm curious, since you have been studying and living in the UK for a year, and you haven't missed the opportunity to arbitrage from the stock market, have you never considered local investment?"

It was like throwing pieces of pie directly in front of her, which had to cheer Alice up.

Queen what does that mean?

Is it to attract investment in person?

Makes sense, Alice thought. Don't look at her earning hundreds of millions of yuan in profits from the London stock market, but if she really invests in a large domestic company, or even directly establishes a branch overseas, or simply builds a factory in another country to promote employment, the long-term benefits will be great. It's amazing.

Yes, it must be the reason. You took ten yuan from my pocket, and I asked you to slowly pay me back one hundred yuan in ten days. It's the nature of it.

"good idea!"

After thinking it through in an instant, Alice grinned: "Britain is a century-old industrial powerhouse. How about this, Your Majesty, I will invest in British Telecom in a few days... Look at $50 million. Anyway, my Cisco is doing the same." For Internet hardware, if we can get a cooperative relationship with this company, I believe it will be very beneficial to both of us, right?"

These words are actually quite funny. A businessman uses the attitude of business cooperation to talk about the benefits of business cooperation to the highest in the political arena, but this businessman is just a teenage girl. However, when Elizabeth smiled lightly, there was no trace of contempt.

"The name of Cisco, I have often heard it in recent months."

The queen is not young, but her body is still strong, and she does not shake her hands when pouring tea: "Since the invention of 'Aniac', the productivity of the past few decades has been driven entirely by computers. Your Internet hardware industry, although It started with your Cisco, but it’s only been a few years. It seems that the market is huge, right? Don’t blame it for its IPO, not only the Wall Street Journal had repeated comments, but even the Daily Mail Repeatedly published, the listing of the founder of the industry cannot prevent people in the financial industry from paying attention, right?"

Alice gulped down a whole cup of tea, then wriggled her throat fiercely, as if desperately swallowing something difficult: "I said, Your Majesty, what you said is to investigate my Did you know it when you knew it, or did you know it long ago?"

Say the name of the first human computer, Ainiac!

Clearly explain Cisco's market position!

To be honest, Alice would naturally think of her grandmother, and even all her relatives in her previous life, when she saw ****. Although she knew that the identities of the Queen of England and her grandmother were of course very different, but it was really strange to see an old lady who was over sixty years old, and she was talking about these "new things".

"You mean the sequence? It's hard to say. I live day by day, and I don't regulate this kind of things so carefully."

The queen jumped away from the topic in a few words and said instead: "So, British Telecom, do you want to take a stake in it?"

Alice nodded slowly.

This nod was sincere, and even without the Queen's forceful questioning at this time, she might still throw some money into this company when she is free in the future.

Because of the first reason, as she just said to the Queen, for Cisco, it is of course beneficial to have a relationship with a telecommunications company. And if Alice's shareholding in British Telecom is equivalent to directly opening up overseas markets, why not do it?

British Telecom was originally a British state-owned telecommunications utility, managed by the British Post Office. On October 1, 1981, it separated from the British Royal Mail and became an independent state-owned enterprise. But later, under the administration of British Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, since 1984, it began to sell up to 50% of its public shares to the market and became a private company.

Because of this profound background, the company has always been the operator of the largest telecommunications facility hardware in the UK, and has business offices or offices in 170 countries around the world, and the turnover of overseas business offices fully accounts for the one-third of the group's total turnover.

Letting Cisco and telecommunications companies build a relationship is something that will happen sooner or later with the development of time, but Alice is very reluctant to buy shares in several American companies such as AT\u0026T. Making big news in China will attract too much attention, but if you go to the UK to buy shares, the shock will be much smaller.

Anyway, for Cisco at this time, from a technical point of view, there is no difference between British Telecom and AT\u0026T, and it doesn't matter to Alice. Furthermore, since it has now started to develop basic equipment such as network card modules together with Lucent, wouldn't it be great to set up a research and development center in the UK with a strong academic atmosphere?

"Good idea, but it's only fifty million."

However, after receiving Alice's affirmative answer, the queen was still dissatisfied, and continued: "The scale of British Telecom is very large. I'm afraid you can only buy one-thousandth of your 50 million. Why not?" How about some more money, for example... huh, 500 million?"

Five hundred million, how dare you say it.

Alice was ashamed, but even more ashamed of herself. Facing a company with a market capitalization of tens of billions, and a person of the Queen's level saying that he wants to buy a share, and then only throwing out a "mere" 50 million US dollars, there is really nothing more depreciating than this.

Yes, Alice immediately thought of this question. Of course, the queen knows her current worth.

Not long ago, "Fortune" magazine had a second exclusive interview with her. As the main source of funds, Microsoft's second largest shareholder does have a lot of assets, but it is far from being able to discuss business with the Queen face to face. So, she sent a housekeeper to invite herself to Windsor Castle today, is it really only for the expected investment of tens of millions?

"I have a daughter named Anne..."

Sure enough, the queen brought up a new topic: "Her only daughter, my granddaughter Zara, is just six years old this year and is entering primary school. Now Eton can also recruit girls. I once hoped that She'll be here for her secondary school career, but the kid seems to have found her love early on."

This topic became more and more weird as it sounded. With the queen's smile, Alice's guess came true in an instant.

"Son, are you interested in being my granddaughter's computer tutor?"
