Chapter 145 Say hello to Steve Jobs
The next morning, Andy changed into a sports and casual outfit, still wearing a hooded top, put a dog chain on Kuaiyin and the witch, and walked out of the house amid the cheerful screams of the two little guys.
After taking the elevator downstairs, the paparazzi at the entrance of the apartment building had set up their cameras to take pictures. Andy ignored them. Joseph had already stepped forward to pull the paparazzi to both sides. Andy led two puppies and walked out of the paparazzi encirclement.
Entering through the road through the side door of the Central Garden, and starting a morning jogging along the green path. Joseph followed closely, with two puppies barking and running wildly. Several young paparazzi followed closely with their cameras. These paparazzi basically understood Andy's habits. Usually, when spending the night at their parents' house, Andy would run in Central Garden the next morning. Although these exercise photos cannot be headlines, some lace pages can still be published. Who makes Andy popular now? His news can still add some sales.
Of course, the photos of Andy and Ivana together are definitely the favorites of these paparazzi, and they can at least sell for a good price. Now this interesting thing is circulating in the paparazzi circle. That is, the paparazzi who took the photo of Ivana sitting on Andy's neck in a bikini in Hawaii has changed into a Porsche sports car because this photo has been reprinted too many times. Many newspapers and magazines have used this photo as the cover. All, once Andy and Ivana appear together, there will inevitably be a large group of paparazzi around them, and any intimate actions will cause a shutter sound.
Ivana was very happy to have paparazzi follow her, which undoubtedly increased her exposure rate. At the same time, the most important thing is that people always help her keep an eye on her boyfriend, Huaxin. This is undoubtedly the thing that makes her happiest, so she doesn’t have much disgust with the paparazzi around her. Sometimes she will cooperate with her street photos and put on a few POSes.
Andy was also helpless about this. He seemed to understand why so many celebrities' marriages were imperfect, because there were very few cats that did not steal fish. Once celebrities steal fish, they would basically be exposed by paparazzi. Only when a marriage was happy would there be ghosts.
There are so many people who attack their girlfriends or their wife's best friends, because it is at least safe, and there are explanations for being discovered on dates. Unfortunately, Andy is still well protected by Ivana, and some of her best friends are completely isolated by her. After all, there are indeed things that are unclear to her boyfriend and former best friend Paris.
Andy came back from walking the dog and saw that the breakfast was already arranged. Auston was wearing a straight suit and his hair was meticulously combed. He still attached great importance to this morning's exclusive interview. This issue of the New York Observer will trigger the political arena of the US, and his exclusive interview will be seen by more Americans. Of course, as for the result, only ghosts know. But Auston's fame will be greatly improved.
Last night, Auston's team contacted Pit Kaplan and discussed the content of the interview together, using as much space as possible to introduce Auston's personal charm. As for why not focus on reporting campaign slogans and issues, Auston's team did not understand very well, but Pit Kaplan was very clear. This was to make the people look at Tom's scandal rationally when scolding the elephants. The elephants were still good overall, but there were only some scum. If you don't believe it, you see, this is the newcomer in the political arena, whose character, knowledge, past experience, family, and children's education are all very good.
This will not only reduce people's disgust and hostility towards elephants, but will also make the newcomer Auston quickly become popular and may also become a representative of new stars.
Andy is not interested in how politicians make a show. Even if this person is his father, it is enough to deal with it by the old fried dough stick Pitt.
After breakfast, the father and son took the elevator together and got off the parking lot. Before getting on the bus, Auston said to Andy: "There is an elephant fundraising dinner this weekend. Do you attend?"
Andy tilted his head and looked at his father with a wry smile and said, "Do you think I will be welcomed if I go? They will want to eat me..."
"FXXK! Damn Tom, this is really a disaster..." Auston cursed in a low voice and walked into the car with anger, and took it hard on the car door.
Andy shrugged helplessly and sat in the car. The two cars drove out of the parking lot one after another and went their separate ways.
When Andy came to Liberty City Investment Company, the U.S. stock market had not opened yet, from 9:30 am to 16 pm, and the market was closed at noon.
He originally wanted to talk to Budstone about Apple stocks, but Bud's secretary told Andy that Bud was holding a regular meeting with his employees every morning in the conference room.
When Andy heard the interest, he also wanted to hear the judgment of the new Wall Street people under his command of the US stock market. Each group has a sum of funds and individuals will focus on investing. The returns are also different. Those who can make continuous profits will soon stand out and be appointed as the management of this new company. This undoubtedly allows these young people to see the hope of reaching the peak of their lives. Marrying a rich and beautiful woman is no longer a luxury, and they all work hard.
Andy entered the conference room, and the noise of the discussion that was already a little noisy disappeared immediately. Budstone stood up first, and the others also stood up.
"Good morning, boss." Budstone gave up the first seat and said hello while letting Andy sit on the first seat, while he sat in the first seat on his left.
He asked in a mess, Andy smiled and nodded, reached out to signal everyone to sit down, he smiled and said, "This is the first time I have attended the company's morning meeting. Everyone can follow the routine. I will sit next to me and learn. After all, you are all top students in the financial field. In terms of finance, each of you can be my teacher."
Andy's words caused a kind smile in the conference room. After he sat down, the scene became lively again. Each group came up to introduce their investment ideas. The analysis of the trend and the specific values of profits and losses were very detailed, and they would also argue about some disagreements.
Andy listened with relish. Budstone kept listening and recording carefully. Sometimes he frowned, but did not interrupt the other party's narrative, but lowered his head to record it. After all the groups finished speaking, he picked up the content he had just recorded and raised questions one by one. If there were serious investment problems, he would directly reject the other party's investment intention and ask them to come up with a new investment plan before the opening.
After listening to Badstone's suggestion, the group in question did not argue, but took the group members quickly to discuss and study their other investment plans. Each group would prepare at least three investment plans in case of the rejection of today.
About an hour later, Andy looked at the watch and it was already 9 o'clock and the regular meeting ended soon. Andy and Budstone walked out of the conference room and came to Budstone's office with a joke.
"Boss, if you sell a lot, Apple's stock price will fall. Now its stock price is a bit sensitive. A little Feng Shui movement will make the Sharks join the team that suppresses Apple's stock price. This will undoubtedly cause losses to you, the boss!" Badstone frowned and persuaded.
Andy shook his head with a mysterious smile and asked, "You said that if we start selling a lot and causing Apple's stock price to change, will Apple know that we are operating?"
Budstone looked at Andy with a strange look on his face, and his head was full of black lines. He really couldn't understand some of his strange behaviors for the young boss in front of him. However, he didn't understand, so he began to answer: "It's not completely possible, nor is it impossible. If it's hot money, you can look at the rankings. On the day of the movement, the exchange will announce the names of the top five seats or institutions in the trading market. Of course, it can also be analyzed based on the recent bulk transactions to find the other party's information."
"If we sell all the Apple stocks in our hands today, will it attract Apple's attention?" Andy finally expressed his purpose.
"...Boss, if you do this, the loss will be huge!" Badstone was powerless to complain. This was a joke about the US dollar.
"Ahem..." Andy coughed a little embarrassedly and said to Budstone: "Then you should minimize the losses as much as possible, but you should also attract Apple's attention. Is there any problem?"
"There is a problem! There is too little money, and it is impossible to rely on our own efforts to leverage the abnormal fluctuations in Apple's stock price..." Badstone refuted Andy's request that was joking without giving any face.
"Hehe, try your best, I just want to say hello to Jobs!" Andy smiled unanimously, but there was a deep meaning in his smile that was hard to understand.
Badstone looked at the boss's eyes flashing, and thought that the boss had mortgaged all the assets that could be borrowed in his name and exchanged them for Apple stocks. All the money for selling copyrights was invested in Apple stocks. This crazy and paranoid investment made anyone feel incredible. Although the Apple stock price rose sharply and the boss also made huge profits, this is not a reasonable investment plan. Only paranoid madmen would do this.
Is his boss a lunatic?
Surely not, that is, the boss has a confidence that others cannot understand for Apple stocks for some reason. Is it because of Jobs? Perhaps this is the only possibility.
"Okay, but boss, this requires the funds to sell stocks in the past few days, and it requires the assistance of other people in the company..." Budstone finally agreed to Andy's request. After all, Andy is the boss, and maybe she can still receive unexpected gains.
(US stocks are in the T+0 trading mode. You can buy on the same day and sell on the same day. There is no bottom line for rising and falling, but there is a circuit breaker mechanism. It takes three trading days for the funds obtained from selling stocks to arrive.)
