Bill Gates does not know if the movie is good or not, because Bill Gates is thinking hard about what Harry Potter said.
Bill Gates does not think Harry Potter is saying this to mock him. Instead, Bill Gates feels Harry Potter is giving him a sincere suggestion.
Bill Gates knows better than anyone else that there is a huge dotcom bubble in the stock market.
Take Bill Gates's Microsoft as an example. Bill Gates knows Microsoft's capabilities.
Microsoft's annual profits are about 15 billion USD. But Microsoft's daily expenses are high. They have to deal with all kinds of R&D, marketing, and marketing expenses. That's why Microsoft does not have a lot of profits left after a year, and the dividends they can give to their shareholders is only about 1 billion USD.
The dotcom industry is different from the oil and real estate industries. Other than a large number of computers, software, and a few office buildings, the dotcom industry does not have any assets.
It's a joke for Microsoft to be valued at 600 billion USD. Anyway, based on Bill Gates's estimation, Microsoft's valuation of 120 billion USD is a reasonable estimate.
But now, Microsoft's valuation had increased by five times to 600 billion USD. Even an idiot knows how big the dotcom bubble is.
Bill Gates knew very well that within the next three years, the internet bubble was bound to burst. This was something that was bound to happen.
Do not underestimate the elites of this world. They had predicted all kinds of financial crises and are prepared for them.
Bill Gates in history is one of them. He predicted the dotcom bubble's collapse and made preparations in the company. That's why Microsoft, which was worth 500 billion USD, did not crash like other dotcom companies. Their market value fell by 300% in a day.
Microsoft's market value fell from 500 billion USD to 220 billion USD in three years. Although it is a huge drop, it is considered a slow decline and did not cause much damage to the company's operations. The company is considered stable.
Although the Bill Gates of this world had been driven crazy by Boss Jia, his judgment was still there. He also knew that the internet bubble was still around. It was just that recently, because he had been too angry with Boss Jia, and he had been living a carefree life recently, Bill Gates could not help but neglect these problems.
Today, Harry Potter woke Bill Gates up and reminded him of this problem.
Although outsiders referred to Bill Gates as Mr. 200 Billion, Bill Gates himself also knew that his fixed assets had not changed at all. At the same time, he still had about 3 billion USD worth of wealth management products. This was all the cash that Bill Gates had.
Bill Gates does not care if he changed from Mr. 60 Billion USD to Mr. 100 Billion USD or Mr. 200 Billion USD now. This is the amount of cash Bill Gates can control, and nothing has changed.
Feng Yu's net worth is only a number that changes with the stock market, and this number has never been realized.
One day, when Microsoft's dotcom bubble bursts, more than half of Feng Yu's 200 billion USD will disappear overnight. This is hundreds of billions of USD!!!
"Maybe I can sell some of my shares!" Once this thought appeared in Bill Gates' mind, it was like a devil that began to entangle his mind, constantly devouring him.
Bill Gates has the habit of selling his shares. He once owned 60% of Microsoft's shares after it was listed. But after more than ten years, Bill Gates sold his shares bit by bit to get more cash. Now, he only owns 30% of Microsoft's shares.
Now that he thought about it, those shares were sold when the market value was less than 100 billion USD, or even 30 billion USD. Bill Gates felt pain in his heart.
If he sold his shares when the market value is 600 billion USD, he will get a lot more!
Bill Gates felt he must not miss this opportunity. Bill Gates has a voice in his mind telling him not to sell his shares at this time. If he sells his shares now, it will affect the share prices and investors' confidence. It might even cause the market to crash.
But the problem was, if the stock price really collapsed, wouldn't his stocks completely shrink? Why should he sell them?!
"I must think of a reliable plan to sell them!" Bill Gates, who had been thinking about this problem, is not in the mood to watch the movie. Even when the audience is shocked by the climax of the movie, Bill Gates is not bothered.
Even when the movie ended, Bill Gates did not get up. He sat alone in the theater for 20 minutes. When the staff of the theater had to carefully ask if Mr. 200 Billion needed any help, Bill Gates woke up from his own world. He shook his head with a wry smile and left the theater.
The next day, the front page of the newspaper said, "The premiere of 'Grey Ghost' was too exciting. Mr. 200 Billion was intoxicated by it and did not want to leave after 20 minutes."
This suddenly made the movie's attention soar again.
"If these people know that you don't even remember the name of the main character, I wonder what kind of expression they will have!" At noon the next day, Bill Gates's wife looked at her man who was still thinking about something and complained.
"Even if I watch the movie seriously, I won't remember the name of the main character!" Bill Gates said seriously.
"Sir, madam, these are today's letters!" The maid at home came up with a pile of letters. Bill Gates's family receives a lot of letters every day. Sometimes, there are even thousands of letters in a day. Most of them are asking for help from the world's richest man.
"Just get rid of them!" Madam said very straightforwardly. She meant to burn them directly. It is not that Bill Gates and his wife are too cruel. It is just that no one is interested in reading so many letters, especially when most of them are from gamblers and perverts who only know how to ask for money.
In the beginning, the couple would still read the letters. Later on, they simply burned them all. It is a complete waste of time.
In fact, Boss Jia is the same. Boss Jia also receives a lot of letters every day. However, Boss Jia does not burn them directly. Instead, he specially sets up a team to read these letters. They read the contents of the letters according to their categories. They do not even burn them. Instead, they record all the letters into electronic versions and store them in a box.
Later, a reporter came to Boss Jia's house for an interview. He filmed Boss Jia's house full of letters and affectionately wrote the classic story of how Boss Jia specially spent money to sell a building in Yuzhang to store these letters. This classic story made Boss Jia's image even more lofty and glorious.
"These people are getting more and more outrageous!" Hearing Madam's order, the maid also complained, "It's fine if these people just sent a letter, but someone actually put a lizard in the letter and sent it here. This lizard is actually not dead and ran out of the envelope!"
"What! Lizard!! "The madam screamed.
"No, madam, don't worry. The security has already caught the lizard."
"Where did this bastard come from?!" The madam asked angrily.
"It's a little girl from Africa. She said that she is dying. She can no longer take care of her best friend. If she dies, her family will definitely kill this lizard. So, she sent it to us, hoping that we can take care of it!" The maid said. "What a lunatic. Isn't she afraid that the lizard will die in the letter?"
"And those bastards at the customs. Don't they know that someone put living things in the letter?"
"Get rid of it quickly!" The madam said angrily. The maid nodded and prepared to deal with it in the usual way. Bill Gates, who had been silent all this time, said, "Let me see that letter!"
"Yes!" The maid handed the letter to Bill Gates doubtfully. This letter was indeed written by a child. The letters were crooked like tadpoles. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to understand it.
"Dear, come with me to Africa!" Bill Gates said with bright eyes.
