When Chen Qing got the news from girl a, the winter time on the east coast of North America, which was 13 hours later than China, was the night of Friday, June 27 the day before. Moreover, Simon happened to be attending a gathering of financial circles on the upper east side of Manhattan.
Celebrate Thailand's first victory.
Soros is standing opposite Simon with a glass of champagne.
When girl a finished the story in her ear, facing Soros's inquiring eyes, Simon did not hide it and said directly: "news from China, about Hong Kong."
Soros immediately raised his eyebrows.
Simon's good relationship with China is well known. During the day today, the Thai government just raised the white flag. Coupled with the return ceremony on July 1, at this juncture, China's attempt to contact Simon is still about Hong Kong. You don't need to know what it is for.
Seeing that Soros's expression soon turned into a smile, Simon continued: "George, recently clean up the position against Hong Kong, just as I owe you a favor, and if you want to make the favor bigger, you can say a few words in public at the right time."
Simon was so direct again that Soros had to restrain his expression.
As a matter of fact, with the $3 billion invested in Quantum Fund by westero system, even if Simon orders directly at this time, Soros can only compromise. In the final analysis, Soros is just a fund manager who manages other people's money. Maybe he can show a strong posture in front of other investors without interference, but for this young tycoon, he has no such confidence.
Now, Simon takes the initiative to offer a favor, and Soros is not likely to be ungrateful.
However, Soros did not immediately agree, but said: "Simon, you know, in Washington, they hope to teach Hong Kong and Beijing a lesson this time."
Soros's financial operation could not have been successful without the tacit consent of the Washington authorities.
Like Britain in '92, this is a strong ally.
If other Wall Street capitals dare to attack the British currency without any communication with Washington, it is not impossible to arrest people directly in order to safeguard the interests of their allies.
Soros's action this time is also in line with the overall interests of the Federation.
Simon shook his head when he heard the words: "George, those guys in Washington don't understand. Do you think I don't understand either? In this operation in Southeast Asia, we have only made a quick profit. In the long run, it is China that has benefited the most. "
During the Asian financial crisis in 1997, all the once prosperous four little dragons and four little tigers in Asia suffered heavy losses. Some of them did not recover until many years later. After the destruction of these economies, western countries urgently needed a replacement. This benefit just fell on China.
Soros, of course, understood this, but he said, "it's true, Simon. I just don't understand. Why do you know so many things?"
So, Soros can't help but think of that time in 87.
In the public memory, Soros became famous when he attacked the pound in 1992, and the highlight was in 1997. However, for Soros himself, the failure in the process of the stock market crash in 1987 is the most unforgettable. At that time, the scale of quantum fund was less than $3 billion, and it lost $800 million in the first World War.
In a word, because of the zero sum game nature of stock index futures, a large part of the $800 million that was lost at the beginning was earned by the young people in front of us.
And then, the rapid rise of the westero system.
Even if the decline of NASDAQ continues, Simon's personal wealth will still be more than $1 trillion in the near future, and Soros himself, even if the first world war against Southeast Asia goes well and he gets 20% of the profits from this harvest, his personal wealth will hardly reach $10 billion.
People are better than people There's no way.
Simon has heard a lot of similar inquiries over the years and practiced Tai Chi skillfully: "well, it's said that the mental hospital in Watsonville in the south of the bay area has been changed into a sanatorium, and the charge is very high. I really realized there. George, if you are really curious, you can try to live for a while."
Soros didn't expect much from the answer. He just laughed and said, "Simon, I can promise you, but I'm in fact in a bit of trouble. You owe me less than China owes you, right?"
"Maybe so," Simon shrugged. "The problem is, George, China has a lot of people. I can take it, but you don't have to. If you can't get the favor, it may be useless. And my kindness is just right for you. "
Simon once again said a truth that Soros didn't want to admit. The old man had no choice but to say, "OK, that's it."
Simon added, "and what about making people bigger?"
Soros looked at Simon and said, "well, Simon, isn't it more useful for you to speak out yourself?"
"George, I'll teach you an interesting idiom from China."Soros didn't want to learn, or he could only answer, "hmm?"
"Probably means, how can you kill a chicken with an ox knife?"
“……”
"In fact, there is another thing," Simon did not mean to change the topic, and then said, "as for South Korea, since you want to give up the layout for Hong Kong, put the extra chips on South Korea, the more the better."
These are things Simon has been thinking about for a long time.
In view of Hong Kong, Simon's initial plan was that if no one thought of himself, he would honestly be a spectator and let Soros do the wind and rain. If someone greets you, send an adult along.
And then, South Korea.
On the other side of Hong Kong, Soros didn't get any advantage, so it's better to put more chips on South Korea.
Although South Korea used to be the last country to be attacked in Asia, its economic devastation is no less than that of other countries. On the other hand, one of the advantages of cracking down on the currencies of Southeast Asian countries is that it is convenient for subsequent speculative capital to copy down the assets of various countries. Simon is not interested in the assets of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries at all, and his target is only South Korea.
When Soros heard this, he didn't hesitate. He nodded and said, "Simon, is this a second favor?"
"Of course not, it's just a suggestion, if you don't want to, when I don't say it."
Soros, of course, can't ignore Simon's words.
On the contrary, they attach great importance to it.
What I think of again is that time in 1987. In addition, since Simon westero talked about South Korea at this time, there must be great prospects for betting in this respect.
When the matter was settled, Simon was not in a hurry to inform China and continued to socialize at the party.
After all, it's like unlocking.
In previous lives, I often saw similar news. Some people forgot their keys and called to ask the lock unlock master to talk about the price. As a result, the master came to open the lock in dozens of seconds. The employer immediately felt that the price was high. You need 100 yuan in dozens of seconds. Is that too dark?!
Therefore, Simon didn't give any reply for several days until the weekend passed and a new week came.
On Tuesday, July 1, there was a heated ceremony for the return of Hong Kong. On the same day, there was the premiere of Independence Day in Hollywood.
On the other hand, at the beginning of the new week, Thailand, which has won a weekend buffer for itself, has not reached any agreement with the International Monetary Fund, which is discussing relief.
So, in the new week, the storm continued.
The continuous sharp decline of the Thai baht for several consecutive days has affected the whole Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and other countries. As the currencies depreciated one after another, the stock market and bond market also fell sharply.
Hong Kong's stock market has not been spared, falling for a week.
During this period, Chen Qing obviously contacted Simon several times under the urging of some people. It was not until Saturday, July 5, that Simon gave a positive reply. Not only that, she also simply pulled the strings and asked Soros, who is going to Asia in the near future, to stop by Hong Kong and arrange a high-level secret meeting.
Simon has always been a good friend of the iron in this matter, and has not made any demands.
After all, free is the most expensive.
Such a big favor, without asking for any benefits, will only gain more unconsciously.
When Southeast Asia is in a storm, North America, which has been affected but not yet reached the most serious moment, is undoubtedly one of the hot spots of public attention recently, which is Roland Emmerich's latest science fiction masterpiece "Independence Day" released on July 4.
Because danielis Entertainment's latest "American Pie" was also released two weeks ago, even if Simon knew the power of "Independence Day", he did not deliberately suppress it.
With a production budget of US $90 million, MGM has spent US $50 million on publicity. Of course, compared with the US $50 million previously offered by Denise entertainment for face changing and tornado, it is a cooperative film after all. If you don't mix in all kinds of expenses, you can make more money. That's not Hollywood.
However, even if water is squeezed out, the actual publicity expenditure will exceed 40 million US dollars.
The number of opening screens of the film also reached 3382.
Relying on excellent word-of-mouth and explosive special effects, only on the first day of painting, "Independence Day" won the box office of 19.36 million US dollars, even better than the previous "tornado".
In the first three days, even because of the Independence Day holiday, there are three other important commercial films released in the same period, and the box office of independence day still reached $61.73 million in the first weekend. Then, in the first full week, the box office of independence day finally reached $91.07 million, becoming the last film with the opening performance in 1997.
Such a start, coupled with the film's comprehensive media score of 8.7 points, the local $300 million will not have much suspense.
At the beginning of the cooperation project, the first "alien" sold well in the Easter schedule, which has made many people hot. Now, "Independence Day" can be called a phenomenal explosion, which makes a lot of capital begin to ask if Denise entertainment intends to develop the second batch of cooperation projects.Here comes the reading welfare! You have up to 888 red envelopes to draw! Pay attention to Weixin official account [book store] red packets!
On the other hand, even if the total North American box office of "Independence Day" reached a high of US $230 million that week because of its success, the strength of this super blockbuster still inevitably affected several films previously released by Denise entertainment.
Danielis entertainment has no big internal objection. Instead, some media who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos keep on making fun of each other, explicitly suggesting that Simon is giving a global conservative 600 million super blockbuster to others.
Black sheep.
Simon was only deaf to this.
That's the same thing.
Over the years, it is hard to say whether dannilis entertainment can break through the monopoly of Hollywood's traditional big studios without its rather positive attitude towards foreign cooperation.
Many times, it is necessary to sacrifice some local interests for the overall interests.
Just like this time, after the "Independence Day" explosion, Simon does have the intention to start the second phase of the cooperation plan.
compared with the first phase of the attempt, the goal of this time will be more clear, mainly for those who have the intention or potential to enter Hollywood capital. In addition, this time, the financing scale will be larger, to further absorb funds and cut off potential competitors in Hollywood The possibility of a sudden rise.
Look to China.
Brocade books.
After one month's broadcasting, through Simon's personal participation in the program arrangement and early publicity, Jiangsu Satellite TV's "super girl" ratings in the province have reached more than 70%, and its nationwide popularity is getting higher and higher.
Simon was initially confused about the ratings of super girl.
In 1998, huanzhu gege, once a phenomenal TV show, had the highest audience rating of 63% in mainland China, and super girl was more than 70%?
Later, I searched for the information in my memory, combined with the current situation of the TV industry in China, I also understood it.
At this time, China's domestic ratings statistics are still very irregular. The ratings statistics of "super girl" are only done by local organizations in Jiangsu Province. Moreover, the popularity is there, which is inevitable. In any case, according to the market survey conducted by Jinshu, the audience rating of super girl in Jiangsu Province is very high indeed, even if more than 70% of the audience has moisture, it will not be too much.
Secondly, compared with the previous "huanzhu gege", there is another thing, that is, at this stage, China's provincial TV stations are not all on the satellite. This matter will not be fully launched until this year or next.
As for huanzhu gege, it is actually after all the provincial TV stations in China have been on the satellite, and under the joint broadcasting of several provincial TV stations, a single TV station has created 63% of the super high ratings.
It's phenomenal.
As for the exaggerated ratings in some news releases, some of them can't stand scrutiny.
If we talk about the miracle of ratings, not far from journey to the west, we only talk about 1990's desire, but public publicity has created more than 90% of the ratings. If we only compare these public data, desire is a miracle.
In the final analysis, the pattern of China's TV market is changing rapidly. There is no doubt about the success of huanzhu gege and super girl.
As for Simon's side, he was inspired by Chen Qing's help to set up a professional joint venture audience investigation agency in China ahead of time.
The most important thing is that the westrow system will take a small share this time.
After all, once China's ratings investigation agencies were miracles.
Simon specially inquired that in the past year, the rapidly expanding market research giant sofrey group's revenue was equivalent to US $120 million, which was earned by conscientiously conducting various data analysis and market research in more than 10 countries around the world. As for some later domestic ratings survey giants, they were able to sell the ratings business to several billion yuan a year.
That's the business wizard.
Other people's data are sold to business owners, TV stations and advertisers, and they make a lot of hard money after a big circle. Let's go straight to the right place, skip those messy links, and sell them directly to the producers of TV dramas.
How nice.
As for ray media, a poor guy in the industry, no matter how old he is, if he can't afford to buy the audience rating, he will get out of the TV market honestly.
Simon's search for equity is still a forerunner, and he doesn't expect to make any money from it.
The water is too deep.
I just hope that in the future, Jin Shu's own works won't need to be paid for, or can be given a preferential price. Simon is always willing to do as the Romans do. After all, the more operable it is, the better it will be for such a giant as Jin Shu media.

At that time, the scale of quantum fund was less than $3 billion, and it lost $800 million in the first World War. In a word, because of the zero sum game nature of stock index futures, a large part of the $800 million that was lost at the beginning was earned by the young people in front of us. And then, the rapid rise of the westero system. Even if the decline of NASDAQ continues, Simon's personal wealth will still be more than $1 trillion in the near future, and Soros himself, even if the first world war against Southeast Asia goes well and he gets 20% of the profits from this harvest, his personal wealth will hardly reach $10 billion. People are better than people There's no way. Simon has heard a lot of similar inquiries over the years and practiced Tai Chi skillfully: "well, it's said that the mental hospital in Watsonville in the south of the bay area has been changed into a sanatorium, and the charge is very high. I really realized there. George, if you are really curious, you can try to live for a while." Soros didn't expect much from the answer. He just laughed and said, "Simon, I can promise you, but I'm in fact in a bit of trouble. You owe me less than China owes you, right?" "Maybe so," Simon shrugged. "The problem is, George, China has a lot of people. I can take it, but you don't have to. If you can't get the favor, it may be useless. And my kindness is just right for you. " Simon once again said a truth that Soros didn't want to admit. The old man had no choice but to say, "OK, that's it." Simon added, "and what about making people bigger?" Soros looked at Simon and said, "well, Simon, isn't it more useful for you to speak out yourself?" "George, I'll teach you an interesting idiom from China."Soros didn't want to learn, or he could only answer, "hmm?" "Probably means, how can you kill a chicken with an ox knife?" "In fact, there is another thing," Simon did not mean to change the topic, and then said, "as for South Korea, since you want to give up the layout for Hong Kong, put the extra chips on South Korea, the more the better." These are things Simon has been thinking about for a long time. In view of Hong Kong, Simon's initial plan was that if no one thought of himself, he would honestly be a spectator and let Soros do the wind and rain. If someone greets you, send an adult along. And then, South Korea. On the other side of Hong Kong, Soros didn't get any advantage, so it's better to put more chips on South Korea. Although South Korea used to be the last country to be attacked in Asia, its economic devastation is no less than that of other countries. On the other hand, one of the advantages of cracking down on the currencies of Southeast Asian countries is that it is convenient for subsequent speculative capital to copy down the assets of various countries. Simon is not interested in the assets of Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries at all, and his target is only South Korea. When Soros heard this, he didn't hesitate. He nodded and said, "Simon, is this a second favor?" "Of course not, it's just a suggestion, if you don't want to, when I don't say it." Soros, of course, can't ignore Simon's words. On the contrary, they attach great importance to it. What I think of again is that time in 1987. In addition, since Simon westero talked about South Korea at this time, there must be great prospects for betting in this respect. When the matter was settled, Simon was not in a hurry to inform China and continued to socialize at the party. After all, it's like unlocking. In previous lives, I often saw similar news. Some people forgot their keys and called to ask the lock unlock master to talk about the price. As a result, the master came to open the lock in dozens of seconds. The employer immediately felt that the price was high. You need 100 yuan in dozens of seconds. Is that too dark?! Therefore, Simon didn't give any reply for several days until the weekend passed and a new week came. On Tuesday, July 1, there was a heated ceremony for the return of Hong Kong. On the same day, there was the premiere of Independence Day in Hollywood. On the other hand, at the beginning of the new week, Thailand, which has won a weekend buffer for itself, has not reached any agreement with the International Monetary Fund, which is discussing relief. So, in the new week, the storm continued. The continuous sharp decline of the Thai baht for several consecutive days has affected the whole Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and other countries. As the currencies depreciated one after another, the stock market and bond market also fell sharply. Hong Kong's stock market has not been spared, falling for a week. During this period, Chen Qing obviously contacted Simon several times under the urging of some people. It was not until Saturday, July 5, that Simon gave a positive reply. Not only that, she also simply pulled the strings and asked Soros, who is going to Asia in the near future, to stop by Hong Kong and arrange a high-level secret meeting. Simon has always been a good friend of the iron in this matter, and has not made any demands. After all, free is the most expensive. Such a big favor, without asking for any benefits, will only gain more unconsciously. When Southeast Asia is in a storm, North America, which has been affected but not yet reached the most serious moment, is undoubtedly one of the hot spots of public attention recently, which is Roland Emmerich's latest science fiction masterpiece "Independence Day" released on July 4. Because danielis Entertainment's latest "American Pie" was also released two weeks ago, even if Simon knew the power of "Independence Day", he did not deliberately suppress it. With a production budget of US $90 million, MGM has spent US $50 million on publicity. Of course, compared with the US $50 million previously offered by Denise entertainment for face changing and tornado, it is a cooperative film after all. If you don't mix in all kinds of expenses, you can make more money. That's not Hollywood. However, even if water is squeezed out, the actual publicity expenditure will exceed 40 million US dollars. The number of opening screens of the film also reached 3382. Relying on excellent word-of-mouth and explosive special effects, only on the first day of painting, "Independence Day" won the box office of 19.36 million US dollars, even better than the previous "tornado". In the first three days, even because of the Independence Day holiday, there are three other important commercial films released in the same period, and the box office of independence day still reached $61.73 million in the first weekend. Then, in the first full week, the box office of independence day finally reached $91.07 million, becoming the last film with the opening performance in 1997. Such a start, coupled with the film's comprehensive media score of 8.7 points, the local $300 million will not have much suspense. At the beginning of the cooperation project, the first "alien" sold well in the Easter schedule, which has made many people hot. Now, "Independence Day" can be called a phenomenal explosion, which makes a lot of capital begin to ask if Denise entertainment intends to develop the second batch of cooperation projects.Here comes the reading welfare! You have up to 888 red envelopes to draw! Pay attention to Weixin official account book store red packets! On the other hand, even if the total North American box office of "Independence Day" reached a high of US $230 million that week because of its success, the strength of this super blockbuster still inevitably affected several films previously released by Denise entertainment. Danielis entertainment has no big internal objection. Instead, some media who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos keep on making fun of each other, explicitly suggesting that Simon is giving a global conservative 600 million super blockbuster to others. Black sheep. Simon was only deaf to this. That's the same thing. Over the years, it is hard to say whether dannilis entertainment can break through the monopoly of Hollywood's traditional big studios without its rather positive attitude towards foreign cooperation. Many times, it is necessary to sacrifice some local interests for the overall interests. Just like this time, after the "Independence Day" explosion, Simon does have the intention to start the second phase of the cooperation plan. compared with the first phase of the attempt, the goal of this time will be more clear, mainly for those who have the intention or potential to enter Hollywood capital. In addition, this time, the financing scale will be larger, to further absorb funds and cut off potential competitors in Hollywood The possibility of a sudden rise. Look to China. Brocade books. After one month's broadcasting, through Simon's personal participation in the program arrangement and early publicity, Jiangsu Satellite TV's "super girl" ratings in the province have reached more than 70%, and its nationwide popularity is getting higher and higher. Simon was initially confused about the ratings of super girl. In 1998, huanzhu gege, once a phenomenal TV show, had the highest audience rating of 63% in mainland China, and super girl was more than 70%? Later, I searched for the information in my memory, combined with the current situation of the TV industry in China, I also understood it. At this time, China's domestic ratings statistics are still very irregular. The ratings statistics of "super girl" are only done by local organizations in Jiangsu Province. Moreover, the popularity is there, which is inevitable. In any case, according to the market survey conducted by Jinshu, the audience rating of super girl in Jiangsu Province is very high indeed, even if more than 70% of the audience has moisture, it will not be too much. Secondly, compared with the previous "huanzhu gege", there is another thing, that is, at this stage, China's provincial TV stations are not all on the satellite. This matter will not be fully launched until this year or next. As for huanzhu gege, it is actually after all the provincial TV stations in China have been on the satellite, and under the joint broadcasting of several provincial TV stations, a single TV station has created 63% of the super high ratings. It's phenomenal. As for the exaggerated ratings in some news releases, some of them can't stand scrutiny. If we talk about the miracle of ratings, not far from journey to the west, we only talk about 1990's desire, but public publicity has created more than 90% of the ratings. If we only compare these public data, desire is a miracle. In the final analysis, the pattern of China's TV market is changing rapidly. There is no doubt about the success of huanzhu gege and super girl. As for Simon's side, he was inspired by Chen Qing's help to set up a professional joint venture audience investigation agency in China ahead of time. The most important thing is that the westrow system will take a small share this time. After all, once China's ratings investigation agencies were miracles. Simon specially inquired that in the past year, the rapidly expanding market research giant sofrey group's revenue was equivalent to US $120 million, which was earned by conscientiously conducting various data analysis and market research in more than 10 countries around the world. As for some later domestic ratings survey giants, they were able to sell the ratings business to several billion yuan a year. That's the business wizard. Other people's data are sold to business owners, TV stations and advertisers, and they make a lot of hard money after a big circle. Let's go straight to the right place, skip those messy links, and sell them directly to the producers of TV dramas. How nice. As for ray media, a poor guy in the industry, no matter how old he is, if he can't afford to buy the audience rating, he will get out of the TV market honestly. Simon's search for equity is still a forerunner, and he doesn't expect to make any money from it. The water is too deep. I just hope that in the future, Jin Shu's own works won't need to be paid for, or can be given a preferential price. Simon is always willing to do as the Romans do. After all, the more operable it is, the better it will be for such a giant as Jin Shu media.
