Chapter 1411 No Matter How Late You Have to Run

"He still has the lead, it's right to be conservative..."

The debate went smoothly, and the degree of boredom may be the lowest in the history of the US general election, and there was no one-sided situation. Everyone noticed that the owner of Highland Park was still staring at the TV screen without saying a word after watching it. , so he was not in a hurry to study and judge, but turned his mind quickly, trying to make his speech less mistakes.

After a long time, Ms. Sloan broke the silence: "But I don't like his smile. I understand that he wants to be more approachable to the people, but... the smile he always keeps looks a bit arrogant on the TV screen. What do you think?"

Al Gore’s debate was full of laughter. The original intention must be good, which can also make him appear more confident, but the live TV screen may not give the audience a good impression. Human psychology is always very subtle, confident and arrogant There is only a wall.

"It seems so." Northern Trust's O'Grady nodded in agreement, "but George Jr. is also a little reserved, a little... woebegone?"

"He's using his strengths to avoid his weaknesses."

Axelrod, a public relations and campaign expert, said: "He hardly made eye contact with Al Gore, and he deliberately avoided getting into heated debates. .”

Illinois State Senator, Michelle's husband also nodded, "The tactics of the Elephant Party team make George Jr. seem at least sincere."

"So today's battle is over, will the polls of the two sides be closer?"

The people present are all elites who have a great say in the campaign affairs, and no one wants to show timidity in front of the black pharaoh. Former White House counsel Mikwa asked O'Grady: "Isn't this good news for rice stocks?"

"Yes, at present, the news of rice stocks, especially the technology and Internet sectors, is positively related to whether Gore can be elected smoothly."

The "he created the Internet" released by the Gore team before the stock market crash, and the concept of "only he can save the Internet" after the stock market crash are considered successful. Silicon Valley and Wall Street are indeed waiting for him to save the market after being elected. From the end of August, his polls Being chased by Little George all the way, Nasdaq's market confidence is also becoming less and less, and it has fallen sharply for a whole month since the beginning of last month.

Election debates fail to reopen gaps...

Song Ya winked at Sloan and O'Grady, turned away from the TV, and walked to the study without saying a word.

The current market value of YAHOO is only one-fifth of the peak at the beginning of the year, and the stock prices of Litman listed companies are almost all at the lowest point in history. Not to mention SUN,

After Microsoft's strategy came out, it has been falling and falling.

But Microsoft itself is not much better. AOL Time Warner, which Song Ya was cleared of before, is all miserable.

He was in a bad mood, "Damn it!" After Sloan closed the door, he yelled at her: "Our Jones Stewart and CUU and other anchors and talk show hosts laugh at little George every day, making jokes about his IQ, editor Duanzi said how stupid he is... What about today? Didn’t he behave normally in the Quanmi live broadcast!? Now it’s all right! It’s all fucking counterproductive! Voters will only start to have a rebellious psychology towards our previous propaganda! "

"you!"

Sloan was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, "Is it my fault? I didn't set the general direction of the campaign strategy. If you want to scold, scold the donkey party and Gore's campaign team!"

Song Ya was so yelled that she shrank her neck and remained silent.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing."

O'Grady happened to see the two have an intimate act, and quickly acted as a peacemaker, "The first question before us now is whether to start retreating from the rice stocks. There is no time to waste."

The current logic is this: if Al Gore is caught up in the polls after the general election debate, then rice stocks will definitely continue to plummet, so we must run, and run slowly, and wait for the polls of major institutions to appear in the media It may be too late.

Even if Gore still wins the election in the end, anyway, he has a strong relationship with Gore and Underwood, Peter Flock and others who may appear in the Gore government in the future. Just wait until Gore takes office at the beginning of next year to find an opportunity to make up for it. It will be regarded as a short-term from early October to early January next year.

"When will Taiwan's first wave of polls be released?" Song Ya asked. This time, he asked Taiwan to organize a telephone and online survey with a small sample size and barely covering the entire meter.

"Mr. Skinner?" Sloan picked up the topic angrily and called the director.

"This time I'm probably being played by Paulson again."

Song Ya took the time to complain to O'Grady: "Goldman Sachs has been issuing reports from June to August that are optimistic about the technology and Internet sectors, which coincides with the turbulent period of the broader market. They suddenly became quiet when they entered September and began their second largest decline. Afterwards Look, they probably finished shipping quietly from June to August, and at the end of August, they began to switch from long to short. It’s ridiculous that we didn’t realize it until a whole month later!”

"Hehe, you can't believe a word of Goldman Sachs." O'Grady also gritted his teeth.

"Paulson...I will kill you!"

Song Ya secretly swears. That guy said to himself before that he would look at the polls after the general election debate... It should be just an excuse to stabilize the other players in the game. The promise he made in exchange for the Vivendi Global battle and the points of the Fed’s rice spraying for them before is worthless value!

The dignified chairman of Goldman Sachs has no credibility at all, and he didn't get any shit news. Paulson's mouth is a deceitful ghost! Oh shit!

"According to the polls received so far, Gore still maintains the lead, but the advantage is already very weak." Some poll results of the Sloan Reporting Station, "Gore's advantage is even greater on the Internet."

Litman Media's "Water Army" network information consulting department has also recently begun to collect comments on the general election on the Internet.

Song Ya opened her own blog site and clicked into the homepages of some friends at random. Big bloggers like Rashida and other entertainment stars, such as Jennifer Connelly, were reposting Gore's Gore 2000 campaign poster, and then attached a few words of support. He also called on fans to vote for Al Gore, as do other technology industry friends and media friends.

Song Ya calmed down a little.

The formation in the blog circle of friends is very neat, only Cold Mountain author Charles Fraser is singing the opposite tune. He supports Little George of the Elephant Party and published a long article eloquently.

‘Forgive me for disagreeing with your political views! You are no longer my friend! '

Nicole Kidman, Charles Fraser's favorite, left a message in his article, but he hasn't responded yet.

Nicole seems to have deleted her friend. Song Ya followed this message and clicked on her homepage. The homepage is a still photo of her in the new play 'Moulin Rouge', a black low-cut dance dress with big red lips, full of jewels, Australian big white Niu's appearance is even better than that of Leng Shan, and she is in excellent condition.

The Moulin Rouge is a resource of the Australian and British gangs. It invested in the production of Baz Luhrmann of Amy and Lizi's "Romeo and Juliet Modern Chapter". Baz Luhrmann's films always show the most beautiful side of women , Song Ya's thoughts could not help but drift to...

"Wow, it's so easy to divert your attention from APLUS." Sloan sneered angrily after seeing the content on the computer screen.

Song Ya quickly closed the webpage.

"Now what do we do? Run?" O'Grady asked.

"let me think again."

Song Ya was lost in thought. What Director Skinner said in Paris is the truth. There is gold in the slightest. He has mastered the media and can get poll information one step earlier than the outside world. Although it is certainly not as timely as those big media groups and survey consulting agencies, but At least faster than small and medium-sized investors and retail investors in rice stocks, isn't it...

"APLUS?" O'Grady kept looking at his watch, and finally couldn't help urging.

"Actually, I feel it's too late now." Song Ya sighed and said, "Those bastards at Goldman Sachs left early."

In fact, during this period of time, he not only asked Paulson of Goldman Sachs, but also contacted big players with good relationships in the Internet sector such as Morgan Stanley, KPCB, and Green Shirt. Maybe some of them have already quietly turned empty, maybe They themselves are also pigs waiting to be slaughtered in the dark. In short, the second wave of sharp decline has lasted for a month. Who can guarantee that they are not running at a low point now?

Who can guarantee whether Goldman Sachs is planning to take advantage of the election debate polls to speculate on bullishness and then turn to long?

"Mr. Paulson."

He still called Paulson again. He has been deceived for a month, but now he has some credibility and conscience... "You said before that you should read the polls after the general election debate to make a decision? I feel that after the first debate, two The approval ratings of the two candidates will be closer."

"Haha, don't worry about APLUS. The third debate is more important. In the first debate, both candidates are a bit stuck." Paulson laughed.

"This guy's conscience has been eaten by dogs." Song Ya put down the microphone and pointed at the landline and cursed.

At this time, the phone rang, and it was Underwood calling from Washington to find out the first poll.

"Not so good... um, um... No, Mr. Vice President still has some advantages." Song Ya also asked Underwood his views on the stock market after a brief explanation.

Underwood is generally optimistic. "The final stage of the general election is like this. No matter how small the advantage is, even one vote, we can win in the end, right?" he said.

Then came the unemployed Peter.

In short, he asked others, and some people asked him for information, and they kept in touch with each other.

Before you know it, it's night, and Chicago in early October is getting cold again.

"Should we wait until the third debate to make a decision?"

After seeing off Michelle's husband and other guests, O'Grady proposed.

"No, let's settle this matter before the start of the rice stock. According to this momentum, the stock will be worthless after a few more trading days." Song Ya shook his head.

"But what you hold is YAHOO and other heavyweight stocks, which are difficult to sell, and if you move, it will definitely cause fierce feedback from the market." O'Grady said: "This is not something that can be done in just a few trading days. thing……"

"The latest polls."

After a while, Sloan's poll data became more and more complete. Indeed, Gore's approval rating has been chased behind by George Jr.

"Sell it, since we planned it before, we will follow the discipline."

Song Ya was relieved instead, shaking her head and sighing, "I must be running late, but no matter how late I have to run!"

"OK!" Sloan was delighted with his decision, because it was a good thing for Litman Media.

"You don't need Tiger Fund's help this time?" O'Grady said in a joking tone, rather than complaining sideways.

"Tiger Fund is gone." Song Ya replied with a smile.

"So what about selling YAHOO, Sun... Juniper?" O'Grady asked.

"Sell it too!"

Juniper's stock price is still rising, and it has already broken 244. A hardware manufacturer with a market share of only about 15% in the core router segment has a market value of nearly 80 billion dollars, which is too exaggerated. This can't help but make Song Ya thought of YAHOO at the beginning of the year, "Priority is the priority, and those hardware firewall manufacturers whose prices have skyrocketed."

"The apples..."

"Forget about Apple. In short, the authorization document that Song Zecheng signed for you, as long as the shares listed in the document are on the list, you will find an opportunity to sell!" The halo didn't move, and the 3DFX and Littman-based media, which can be in charge of their own affairs, certainly didn't move. Song Ya narrowed her eyes and made a decision.

"Okay!" The three immediately acted separately.

"Litman Media issued an announcement saying that there was a major announcement today, and trading was suspended."

In London, Edison recently lost money in the rice stock market and the Nasdaq futures market. He also realized that he might and should have been stabbed in the back by Goldman Sachs and other allies. "Don't care about these small companies." He no longer has the energy to take care of these things. "In the approval polls after the first round of the general election debate, George Jr. is catching up a little bit. We may have to cut our flesh to protect ourselves."

"Short?"

"It may be too late!"

"Opening!"

With the opening of Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, the thriving network hardware equipment business sector collapsed with Juniper's plunge last week. Internet stocks and technology stocks fell across the board. The impact soon spread from Nasdaq to New York. In the stock exchange, the scene of the stock market crash in April seems to have been reproduced as it was.

"Damn it!" Edison's face turned pale. The previous profit from the Vivendi Global Battle was not enough to fill the hole in the half-hour period when the rice stocks just opened. "Let's run too! Run away! Hurry up!" He said Slapped his hands and rushed into the trading room.

"YES! Hahaha!"

In Manhattan, the atmosphere at Goldman Sachs is like a festival, and they can enjoy this feast to the fullest with a large number of empty orders in hand.

Paulson was watching this scene with a smile in the trading room. When he turned his head, he just saw a figure falling down from the opposite building.

Litman Media announced that they plan to raise a total of 2.2 billion dollars through private placement, equity pledges, etc. to acquire Houghton Mifflin, the largest educational publishing house in the United States. CEO Ms. Sloan believes that this transaction will make profits Terman Press and Houghton Mifflin have joined forces to consolidate the two companies' dominant positions in the English education publishing market and create greater value for shareholders... It is expected that the entire transaction will be completed before January 1, 2001. '

In the apocalyptic atmosphere of the double collapse of the rice stock market, this announcement by Littman Media has become inconspicuous.
