Reborn Capital Madman

By the time Gao Xian finished socializing with peanut stew and came to New York, the monetary fund named "Blue Stone" had gone through all the necessary procedures and was officially established.

Because the first money fund appeared a few years ago, this also means that the "predecessors" have already addressed issues such as the legality of money funds in the fifty states across the United States, and the recognition of money funds by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

All have been proven, and latecomers like Bluestone Fund can enter the operational stage by simply sitting back and enjoying their success.

Bluestone Fund's first client was naturally the Howard Hughes Foundation, which invested US$80 million in one go, seeming to regard currency funds as a major way of preserving asset value.

There is nothing wrong with this approach. Even if the outside world can tell at a glance that Gao Xian is taking care of his own business, it still stands up to the test.

After all, the Howard Hughes Foundation needs to ensure the safety of its assets, and currency funds have inherent security advantages, so that at this stage, American society already has a lot of institutional funds in the form of pensions and insurance funds invested in various currencies.

fund.

In addition, there are 30 million US dollars in the Red Stone Fund, and Gao Xian has not yet found a suitable investment target for it, so he first transferred to the Blue Stone Fund and is expected to stay there for a month or two.

As a result, the scale of Blue Stone Fund exceeded US$100 million at the beginning of its establishment, which is equivalent to the results of many other money funds in one year. Gao Xian, the title of "Xiangjiang Rich Man" dubbed by the American media, is further considered

Really.

Since money funds have the gene to operate steadily, and Gao Xian has powerful computer calculation capabilities for financial mathematical models compared to this era, the Bluestone Fund's specific capital operations are far different from those of Redstone, which Gao Xian is personally responsible for.

Funds like this require a lot of effort.

Of course, Bluestone Fund still needs to put a lot of effort into publicity and promotion, and one suggestion Gao Xian gave to his subordinates is to seize the rare opportunity of attracting attention when the movie "Star Wars" is released.

At present, the production of the movie "Star Wars" has been completed and is being prepared as planned for trial screenings in New York, Houston, Los Angeles and other cities. Feedback from senior fans, professional critics, and theater people will be listened to, and the editing will not be ruled out.

It's possible to make fine adjustments, but overall it's just waiting for a wide release.

With Gao Xian's participation, the movie "Star Wars" will definitely have a much higher salary from the beginning than in the "old script". Gao Xian has Ma Yongda, the eldest son of the Ma family, and Paramount CEO Barry Diller.

Charles Bludorn, the boss of Gulf Western Industries, Paramount's parent company, and Lucas and others sat together in the screening room to evaluate "Star Wars."

To put it simply, compared to the version in the "old script", this version of "Star Wars" has two obvious differences.

First, the pace of the film is slightly sped up.

You know, there are a lot of materials shot in "Star Wars". How to arrange the editing so that it can be fascinating and blend into the magnificent space world. For Luca, who became famous for his leisurely and fresh movies like "American Style Painting"

For Sri Lanka, it is still quite challenging.

In addition, the production perspective of this version of "Star Wars" has been unknowingly brought by Gao Xian to the completeness of at least six parts, and in terms of world setting, story direction, character relationships, etc., it is far better than the "old"

The version in the script is perfect, and there will almost never be any slap in the face.

Judging from Charles Bludorn's on-site reaction to watching the movie, he tended to have a positive evaluation of the finished "Star Wars" movie produced by Lucas. At least he did not yawn or complain during the two hours.

During the subsequent chat, Charles Bludorn asked enthusiastically: "David, how much return do you think "Star Wars" can bring?"

Gao Xian replied confidently: "As long as the marketing is right, there is no suspense that "Star Wars" will become the box office champion of North American movies this year. It depends on the box office reaching hundreds of millions of dollars."

"When the movie "The Godfather" was released and became a huge success, Gulf Western Industries' stock price rose from the original seventy-seven cents to a high of 3.3 US dollars. And I predict that "Star Wars" will have a huge impact on Gulf Western Industries.

The effect of raising the company's stock price will only be stronger."

Having said this, Gao Xian joked: "I have already bought some shares of Gulf Western Industries in the open market, so don't think too much about it."

Charles Bludorn was impressed. In recent years, taking advantage of the economic recession caused by the world oil crisis and the weakening of many companies, Gulf Western Industries has expanded wildly through large-scale mergers and acquisitions. Now it needs a substantial increase in its stock price to consolidate its results.

"Gulf Western Industries' position in the world's top 500 companies continues to advance, and it is increasingly inseparable from a correct interpretation of the macroeconomics." Charles Bludorn began to seriously consult Gao Xian about financial trends, "David

, which direction do you think the next economic environment will take?"

Gao Xian muttered: "I'm afraid, under President Carter's rule, the inflation situation in the United States will become more and more serious."

"Previously, the economic policies of the Nixon administration and the Ford administration have been driven back and forth by economic recession and inflation."

"After President Ford took office in 1974, he made curbing inflation his top priority, and the Federal Reserve Board tightened its monetary policy accordingly."

“By 1975, under conservative fiscal and monetary policies, the U.S. economy, which was deeply affected by the world oil crisis, fell into a trough. In response to the economic recession, President Ford turned around and launched fiscal policies to stimulate the economy, but the federal government

Reserve Board Chairman Arthur Burns was cautiously slow to ease monetary policy until the U.S. election last year."

"Under such circumstances, the current inflation in the United States has reached 6%, but the cabinet members selected by President Carter are mainly liberals and will definitely put stimulating the economy first. There is a great possibility that inflation will get out of control.

"

Gao Xian's analysis for Charles Bludorn also reflects a paradox in U.S. economic policy at this stage.

Because according to existing macroeconomic theoretical research results, high employment rate means low unemployment rate, and inflation is on the rise; conversely, when unemployment rate is high and inflation is low, policies to stimulate the economy should be introduced.

But the current U.S. economy is suffering from "stagflation" with both high unemployment and inflation. Many existing governance experiences have failed. The political elites stewed with peanuts are a bit blind, and there is a phenomenon of inattentiveness in governance.

In such a complicated situation, although President Carter had been a governor before, his political accumulation was still a bit weak, and he was destined to struggle in the quagmire of economic stagflation and lose control of inflation.
