Awakened by the sound of thunderstorms in the morning, people in the San Lucas estate in Mexico, the dry climate of Baja California Sur, ushered in a rare stormy weather.

After getting up and looking at the rain curtain between the sea and the sky outside the window, I remembered that Carmen Case reminded me of today's weather when I got on the plane last night. At that time, there were two goblins in her arms at the same time, and I didn't care too much. Now, it was originally planned to leave after breakfast, but for safety reasons, it can only be postponed.

Speaking of which, in the rainy weather, Simon will always have some inexplicable emotions of 'I don't know I am a guest in my dreams'. A group of Yingying Yanyan brought over in the evening decided to spend the morning alone.

After eating breakfast alone, I came to a study in the seaside villa, and listened to the sound of rain outside the window to deal with various tasks.

Carmen Keith delivered a large stack of documents according to her boss's instructions. Sitting by the window, drinking tea, she opened the first one, about the trend of the US stock market, especially the Nasdaq technology stock market, in the past trading week. analysis report.

In the previous April, taking advantage of the east wind of Tinkobeier's spring new product launch conference, the Nasdaq index once again broke through the 7,000-point high after the first bubble peak in 1997. In the past two months, even though the date of another round of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve in July is getting closer and closer, the Nasdaq index has continued to climb in shock. As of Friday's close yesterday, it has reached a high of 7396 points.

Affected by the continuous high of the Nasdaq, Igret, which has long led the technology stock market, has accumulated a 23% increase in stock price compared to the beginning of this year. There is less than $40 billion left in the target of listed companies by market capitalization.

In comparison, another super leader, Daenerys Entertainment Group, at the end of last year, because of the super sale around "Cars", it once achieved a comeback over the market value of Igret, and now it has been thrown away again. If it exceeds 800 billion, growth will slow down. It closed yesterday Friday with a market value of 823.7 billion US dollars.

After Igret and Daenerys, the only one who can keep up with the two super giants is the emerging consumer electronics giant Tinkerbell, which also belongs to the Westeros system. With the launch of another explosive model this year The game console i wave x-10, the stock price has been rising all the way.

As of yesterday's close, Tinkerbell's market value reached 736.1 billion US dollars, becoming the third listed company in the world's capital market with a market value of more than 700 billion US dollars.

Then, Cisco, which is also a member of the Westeros system, as the world's largest Internet equipment supplier with a near-monopoly position, its market value has fallen to the 400 billion range. The market value of $600 billion at the peak of the dot-com bubble was slashed by a large margin.

This is naturally due to the influence of Simon, the super-big butterfly.

First of all, several giants such as Igret, Daenerys, and Tinkerbell, who lead the North American stock market, are too dazzling, attracting the attention of more capital, so one trades off.

Secondly, like AOL and Verizon, Simon also has certain strategies to suppress Cisco, such as restricting the price of its products, such as relaxing the authorization restrictions of various technical barriers, with the purpose of promoting the Internet to the greatest extent on a global scale Rapid popularization in exchange for more prosperity of the entire new technology industry.

The rapid development of the global Internet industry comes at the cost of the fact that the revenue growth and profit levels of technology companies such as Cisco and America Online, which play a basic supporting role, are relatively lower than expected by the capital market, and the market value will inevitably be affected.

However, Cisco is far from being the one most severely suppressed by Simon.

The most ruthless, or Microsoft.

Microsoft, which was supposed to be the most eye-catching in the Internet 1.0 era, is now more firmly suppressed by Simon in the role of the industry's basic support. The only difference is that Cisco and America Online belong to the hardware package, while Microsoft is the software package.

Because the companies in the Westeros system are too sharp, Microsoft has not only made no achievements in the network business in recent years, but the operating system business as a basic disk has also been threatened by the Linux platform jointly promoted by the entire Westeros system.

Under the combined influence, Microsoft's market value as of Friday's close was only $354.5 billion. It is expected that the peak of this wave of bubbles will only stay in the 400 billion range. The market value of 400 billion US dollars is of course not low, but compared with the overall industry status of Microsoft in history, the difference can be described as a huge difference.

A direct result of the Nasdaq's continuous breakthrough to new highs is that Simon's personal wealth has received continued global media attention.

According to the Nasdaq's closing market value estimate on Friday, June 23, media around the world generally put Simon's personal net worth at between $2.5 trillion and $3 trillion. Among them, the authoritative "Forbes" magazine gave a figure of 2.7 trillions of dollars.

Still numbing but absolutely impossible to ignore.

Again, the more deeply people feel about the power of capital, the more terrifying this number is, because it means that a young super tycoon who is still in his early thirties, relying on his own wealth, has an impact on the entire world politics. , economy, culture and other fields have a strong influence that can easily call the wind and call the rain.

In fact, just looking at the various news related to Simon in the recent period, this matter is obvious.

Most people can only be amazed and sighed by this fact, but it is inevitable for a small number of people to wonder, where will this super tycoon go in the end?

In the long history of human beings, most people have only felt how a country that is too powerful will affect the world. It has never been like this. A person, who has an enormous wealth that is still growing, will eventually what will happen.

Simon himself did not know.

The goal of bringing human society into a new technological era with the 3G plan as the core is just a goal, a beautiful vision in the most ideal state. However, if it is just because his personal wealth is too large, the world will show more and more malice towards him. When he needs to make a choice, Simon will only make a choice without hesitation, and would rather teach me to blame the world.

There was a knock on the door, and Carmen Case came in with a pot of hot tea.

Simon, leaning on the leather chair with his legs upturned, recovered from his thoughts, only to realize that after turning over a document, he was in a daze for a long time, and the first pot of tea on the table was already cool.

Carmen put down the tray, picked up the hot tea that had just been delivered to help Simon refill some of it, and was about to put away a cold teapot and leave when a man's voice sounded in his ear: "It's fragrant, stay for a while."

So stand still.

I also quietly made up my mind to use today's perfume a few times in the future, or a combination of face cream and hair lotion.

Simon felt the attractive daughter Xiang of the girl beside him, and the sound of the rain outside the window was still the same, and his mood was quickly relieved. He changed a report on the current situation of the 2000 US election in progress and continued to read.
