Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 373 NVIDIA Corporation

In addition to Tesla, Link also holds 16.5% of Twitter shares and 450,000 shares of Amazon.

 Currently, Twitter has not yet been listed. After three rounds of financing, its market value has reached 1.8 billion US dollars, and 16.5% of its shares are worth about 280 million US dollars.

 This year Amazon has escaped the impact of the financial crisis. Its stock price has risen from US$336 at the beginning of the year to US$396 now, and its market value has increased to US$68.8 billion.

 450,000 Amazon shares are worth about $182 million.

Taken together, his net worth is about 1.2 billion U.S. dollars, which is neither the 1 billion stated by the Wall Street Journal nor the 1.5 billion estimated by the New York Post.

As for the money he made from touring, selling records and boxing matches, part of it has not yet arrived. The part that has arrived has been invested in Tesla and Twitter stocks one after another, and cannot be overlapped and added up.

 He then asked Cathy what good investment projects she had currently.

Cathy handed over a tablet computer. There was a piece of information on it, which was a potential investment project researched by the investment department of Pioneer Asset Management Company. They ranged from five stars to one star. The more stars, the greater the investment potential.

  Due to the success of Facebook, many similar social software have become popular in the eyes of Wall Street investment banks. The same is true in this table. The top ones are almost all Internet technology companies, including WhatsApp, Instagram, Foursquare, etc.

Link browsed through it and suddenly saw a familiar company name, NVIDIA, followed by an artificial intelligence computing company that mainly designs display chips and motherboard chipsets.

 This company was founded in 1993 by Jason Huang, a Chinese-American founder. It went public in 1999 and its current market value is US$13.8 billion.

The reasons for the recommendation given by the Pioneer Asset Management Research Department are:

This company is a global leader in 3D graphics technology and digital media processor industries. The company's founder and manager, Jason Huang, is also an entrepreneur with outstanding talents.

 From the company’s listing to this year, although its development has not been smooth. It has been listed for more than ten years and its market value has increased by less than 10 billion, but it has made steady progress and is an Internet company with relatively great potential.

The reason why it is not recommended is: With the development of smartphones in recent years, the field has been booming. NVIDIA also announced last year that it would enter the field of smartphone research and learn to manufacture mobile computing chips, but competition in this field is relatively high.

NVIDIA is a manufacturer of computer chip software. Many of its technical products cannot be reasonably applied to computers. For example, NVIDIA develops a chip called GPU, which can process 3D graphics and data. However, the chip has a heavy load and cannot operate properly in a mobile phone. , the price is also relatively high.

This also led to NVIDIA's failure to change careers and had to abandon this market. The company also suffered considerable losses, with its market value falling from around US$16 billion to the current US$13.8 billion.

Vanguard Asset Management’s research department gave Nvidia three stars, which is neither good nor bad.

Link touched his chin and remembered that Nvidia seemed to be a company with a market value of over one trillion. It was also the leader in the field of artificial intelligence semiconductors in the future, and had also achieved great success in the fields of autonomous driving and driverless driving research.

This company was unremarkable 20 years ago, but can often be seen in the news 20 years later.

 What he didn't expect was that the current market value of this company is only US$13.8 billion, less than one-fifth of Amazon, and has greater potential than investment projects such as Twitter and Amazon.

Link pondered for a moment, read through it from beginning to end, checked three projects with potential, including Nvidia, and handed them to Ms. Cathy, asking her to arrange for someone to focus on investigating these three projects and come up with a detailed report. Investment report comes.

 If it is really good, you can consider investing.

Ms. Cathie Wood took it and looked at it and said she would report to him next week.

Cathy went on to say that he had shares in many companies, including Golden Shell Investment, which was troublesome to manage, and suggested that he set up an investment company or asset management company to improve management efficiency.

 When necessary, we can also use this company to raise funds. If we do well, we may be able to go public in the future.

Link thought about it and thought it was not bad.

 He ​​has a lot of work, and he has to read the investment reports sent by Cathy every week. There are many figures and tables in these reports, which often makes him dizzy.

 In addition, we also include things related to Link Music, Dynasty Promotion, World Tour, Boxing Matches, Palm Beach Pictures, Wanda Pictures, Palm Bay Management, Dolphin Bay Management and other companies.

There are still seven or eight movies to watch, and I still have to call several girlfriends every week.

There are too many things to do, so you have to find ways to reduce your burden.

Establishing an asset management company is also a good idea.

While chatting with Cathy, he saw an acquaintance coming in from outside.

The man was in his forties or fifties, with a slightly bald head and a beer belly. He was dressed casually. He was accompanied by a young woman in her thirties. The two were walking and chatting in a very intimate manner.

 He drank his coffee and stared at the man a few times, and found that he was indeed an acquaintance, Mr. Tom Swift.

I haven’t seen this prospective father-in-law and grandpa for a while. He looks pretty good, much better than when he was in a wheelchair.

 I heard Taylor say before that he was transferred to work at the headquarters of Morgan Investment Bank, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

He saw Tom put his hand on the woman's thigh and rubbed it gently, and took out a box with the Cartier logo from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table. The woman opened the box, hugged his neck, and looked at the greasy old face. A kiss.

The old father-in-law laughed and was about to hug the woman when he suddenly met Link's eyes. In an instant, the expression on his face froze, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched, showing an embarrassed expression.

Link smiled softly, stood up and walked towards his old father-in-law, Tom. Meeting him on such an occasion, it would be awkward to say hello, and it would be awkward not to say hello, so I went to embarrass myself.

Tom also stood up and walked over, stretched out his hand to shake his hand in the aisle, and glanced at Cathie Wood. “Link, are you dating?”

 “Tom, this is Miss Cathie Wood, my investment manager.”

Link introduced.

Tom laughed and said hello to Cathy. Both of them are in the financial industry. Although there are many people on Wall Street, Tom has a celebrity daughter and Cathy is a rising star in investment banking. The two of them also know each other.

“Link, you did a good job investing in Tesla this time. Many consortiums on Wall Street did not dare to get involved at the beginning, but you dared, which is amazing.”

Tom praised.

 “It’s all Cathy’s fault.”

“Although managers are important on Wall Street, it is rare for clients to trust managers and entrust us with their money.”

Tom said as he adjusted his glasses frame.

Link smiled, said there was an opportunity to cooperate, and prepared to leave.

Tom nodded in agreement, and before leaving, told him that Taylor was pregnant and emotionally unstable. He hoped he would have time to go and see her, and it would be better not to say anything unhappy or make her angry.

Link understood what he meant, smiled softly, and then separated from Tom, continuing to chat with Cathy.

Tom sat in the booth opposite for three or four minutes, drank a cup of coffee in a polite manner, and then left with the lady.

Link saw his back and felt that it was not easy for Mrs. Andrea. She was busy with Taylor's affairs every day and had no time to take care of the family. Now her husband was looking for a young man outside behind her back. He didn't know what she would do if she found out. What do you think?

However, he has no intention of informing. This is Taylor's family matter, and he doesn't seem to be qualified to intervene now.

Thinking of Taylor, he picked up his phone and tried to send a message, but unexpectedly found that he had been removed from the blacklist again.

 “I just met your dad.”

 This is the first message. I didn’t expect it to be successful.

“I was discussing some work on Wall Street, and I accidentally saw Tom here. It was okay. I just wanted to ask how you are doing now. I want to come and see you. Can I make an appointment?”

 This is the second message, still sent successfully.

"It was my fault that you got pregnant. On the night of April 13th, we worked for three hours in a row until you couldn't even move a finger. I asked you if you could forgive me for once and don't leave. But You still firmly said that you want to leave.

I was very angry at the time and impulsively took off the condom quietly. I wanted to use this method to keep you. Afterwards, I reflected many times and realized that I had done an unforgivable stupid thing.

 Two months have passed and I haven’t heard any news about your pregnancy. I thought it was unsuccessful and I was a little disappointed. I also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I didn’t hurt you again.

I came back from South Korea a while ago and suddenly heard the news that you were pregnant. This is undoubtedly great news for me. Our child will be as smart and beautiful as you and as strong as me. I am looking forward to seeing the child. Although I am not a good boyfriend, I will definitely strive to be a good father. Please give me a chance. "

 This is the third message.

“I would like to play the piano to your child while you are pregnant so that he can become a singer when he grows up.”

 “Are you going to attend the MTV awards ceremony the day after tomorrow?”

　　After sending seven or eight messages in a row but still receiving no response, he looked at the time and told Taylor that it was time to leave.

 Ding dong!

 As he and Cathy walked to the door, a message was received on his phone.

"I can play the piano, better than you. The child is mine and I will take good care of him. You don't need to worry about it. Ivaca is a good woman and is more suitable for you than me."

Taylor said.

Link was a little surprised that a person as unforgiving as Taylor would also praise Ivaca?

 “What did you talk about last time?”

 “It has nothing to do with you.”

"I hope I can come and see you and your child when I have time. I heard that children who are accompanied by their father will be more masculine when they grow up. Fatty James, do you know that in a single-parent family, when you grow up with your mother, your character becomes more cowardly? Timid, I hope to play a role in the growth of my children.”

“No need, I will get angry when I see you. It would be good for me and the child if you don’t appear in front of me.”

 “The child needs me.”

 After the message is sent, non-friends will be displayed.
