"Young people are impulsive. This is a profound lesson. You cannot make advance payments before a new contract is actually fulfilled. No matter how justifiable the reasons are, you must keep your pockets tightly closed. You must not release the eagle until you see the rabbit. You must make a very strict plan. These are all lessons learned." Lin Xiaosong was talking to Li Mingshi in the office.
They already knew about the incident with Cheng Ran's elder brother Lianzhong. Because Lianzhong was now known as "the first online gaming platform created by college students", many eyes were watching it.
I don't know when the news that Lianzhong is now out of money came out, and now there are many so-called assertions and opinions floating out there. For example, some people say that Lianzhong is not profitable, and there is news confirming that the business negotiations with Telecom have also fallen through. It is certain that Lianzhong has come to an end, and the gimmick of college students' entrepreneurship is ultimately just a gimmick.
At this time, some companies specializing in reselling concepts were preparing to enter the market from the periphery. They wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and, after Cheng Qi could no longer bear the suffering, hunt down Lianzhong at the lowest cost and gain the greatest results. They could either buy Lianzhong or swallow up his shares after Cheng Qi surrendered.
When people inside CQ got the news, they could all feel the bleak and solemn feeling.
Li Mingshi said, "You can't say that. Cheng Ran is also a young man."
Lin Xiaosong said with his experience of seeing through the world, "Xiao Cheng has a broad vision, active thinking, and a cognition of things that is not what he can show at his age. But he also has weaknesses. He is too idealistic and always thinks that everything can be done according to his will."
"Perhaps Cheng Qi's incident this time will serve as a wake-up call for him. Cheng Qi is full of drive and enthusiasm, and is carrying the entrepreneurial enthusiasm of college students. He is daring and daring, but he must learn to step on the brakes. It is easiest to make a wrong step at this time, and there is no way back."
Lin Xiaosong said, "In fact, it is enough to focus on the development of CQ right now. Our users are growing every day. We have to make choices. Mr. Cheng also has shares in his brother's Lianzhong. If Lianzhong can be sold at a good price, we can also ease the pressure."
Li Mingshi said, "But Cheng Ran said that Lianzhong and we are in a strategic alliance, and maybe one day we can support each other."
Lin Xiaosong asked, "Does he still want to take over both companies at this point? Where will he get the money? Should he ask his father for it?"
Although he didn't mean to look down on Cheng Ran, and he knew that Cheng Ran was unique, Lin Xiaosong still considered him as the boss. If this kind of thing got out, his prestige would be greatly reduced. At least people would think that you are not a big shot. It might even affect the development and image of CQ. In the future, there will always be people who wonder if your CQ has grown so big because of Fu Long's influence.
Li Mingshi shook his head. “So far, he has basically relied on himself. I believe he won’t do that this time either.”
"Even if we ask his father Fu Long for money, it will only take a while, but it will take forever?" Lin Xiaosong was worried. "According to the current development speed and scale, the money we need is not a small amount... and he rejected the two million from me at the beginning. If Cheng Qi knew that Cheng Ran had extra money, why would he pledge his shares?"
Money. This is something that makes me anxious just thinking about it.
Li Mingshi frowned and said, "How about I ask someone to write an email software or an office system, and you can help me see if it can be sold."
Lin Xiaosong laughed angrily, "Brother, a set of software costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. I've been running around for a long time for hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is only enough to buy one server. Can it support us for two months of development?"
Li Mingshi thought about it and said, "If it really doesn't work, we have to sell everything we have, that's the only way."
Lin Xiaosong sighed, "Let's stop recruiting. Let me tell you about the situation. We need to get through this difficult time... Let's start with ourselves. I personally ask for my salary to be reduced by half so that we can get through this period first."
…
Qin Xizhen got the information about the stocks that Cheng Ran had purchased so far from her. In her words, even if she had to make a loss, she had to know the loss clearly.
Cheng Ran felt that she had the right to know, so he gave her the information of the stocks currently purchased.
Qin Xizhen used her connections to ask someone about the situation of these stocks. Of course, she only expressed her intention to buy small amounts for casual speculation. Someone immediately responded to her. A senior in the cultural circle, who was said to be very knowledgeable about stocks and knew some big funds, said that these stocks could be held based on the technical charts, but in the final analysis, if Qin Xizhen wanted to speculate in stocks, he had better recommendations. She could even invest money and he would help her. They would take action immediately, and he could grasp the movements of several funds.
But Qin Xizhen refused. She was not happy about this kind of thing: giving money to others and asking them to help her make money would make her nervous and risky. On the other hand, if she really made money, why would others work so hard? Wouldn't she owe them a favor
This is all considered a win or a loss.
Apart from that, only Cheng Ran’s request was not within her consideration.
There was also a real estate CEO, who was one of the sponsors of the previous advertisement. He also expressed his energy and channels to Qin Xizhen, and asked her if she wanted to find an investment project, he had a club that she could join, which had channels and high-quality resources specifically for insiders.
Qin Xizhen knew that the other party also wanted to rely on her to build relationships, and although the other party was considered to be dealable, she still declined. Apart from necessary business dealings, she didn't try to gain personal benefits from these.
Qin Xizhen just asked him what he thought about the article by "Sea King", and the other party responded, "In my opinion, at any time, there will be all kinds of people jumping out, claiming that they can predict stocks and see some ups and downs clearly. There are many such people, but most of them are lost in the crowd. In the final analysis, this kind of thing is very simple to test. Only if the prediction is correct, it counts. Otherwise, all the previous hype is nothing but ulterior motives and sensationalism. Someone must have predicted it correctly. I know a Deng Yuan named Lao Jiang Shuo Gu, or "Wang Pozi" in the underworld. He just predicted a few stocks correctly. The stock market has been sluggish for more than 700 days, but he dared to predict the introduction of policies and the historical bottom. He just grasped what people wanted to hear, and he just opened his mouth. You will see that before long, this so-called "Sea King" will become a laughing stock. "
After much inquiries, Qin Xizhen got the answer she wanted.
Authoritative sources speculate that the article Cheng Ran relied on was most likely a publicity stunt and would eventually become a laughing stock.
But at least they got one good piece of information. The senior colleague said that Cheng Ran could still keep the checks he bought with their joint money.
I feel relieved now.
Qin Xizhen took a look and found that he bought Dongmingzhu stock at the current price of 10.8 yuan, but it has recently fallen to 10.25. At that time, Cheng Ran revealed that he bought 5 million yuan. Now Qin Xizhen calculated that he had lost 200,000 or 300,000 yuan.
As for the other stock, Guangxin Shares, the price was 9.2 yuan when it was bought, and now it is 8.88. Cheng Ran also bought 5 million, which also resulted in a loss of more than 200,000 yuan. In this way, the total amount has shrunk by 500,000 yuan.
Qin Xizhen felt... very exciting.
If she knew that Cheng Ran had continued to add to his position in the past few days and had added several million, she would find it more exciting.
Of course, she was far away in the United States and couldn't get this information about Cheng Ran at the first time.
She just stayed at home in the small villa she rented in the United States, except for visiting the Riggs' house to interact with them.
Moreover, I have been worried about the safety of all my assets in China recently. I am not in the mood to go out for a visit right now and I am keeping an eye on the stock market every day.
So you would often see her wearing only a shirt and curled up in front of the computer with bare legs, eating potato chips and clicking through various information. There was a pot of magnolia by the window, which was probably the only living thing she interacted with.
On May 16th, a piece of news shocked Qin Xizhen.
The State Council meeting launched "Six Policies to Revitalize the Market".
The major policy adjustment predicted in the “Aquaman” article actually happened just over a week later!
When Qin Xizhen looked at the post again, the number of clicks had exceeded one million, and the number of comments reached twenty or thirty thousand.
The crowd below all shouted “Aquaman is awesome!”
"An insider of Aquaman?"
But it seemed too early to be happy.
On the trading day of May 17, the Shanghai Composite Index hit bottom, reaching 1,047 points.
It seems that the stock market will continue to decline, just like on the 17th and 18th. The display board is basically all green and falling, and it is almost certain that it will continue to decline.
At this time, Aquaman's article was widely criticized.
May 19th.
The market suddenly pulled up, and the traces of artificial long positions were extremely obvious, but there was no doubt that at this time there was a sudden surge in volume. The upward trend made the stock investors who had hardly seen a rise since last year feel nervous and tread on thin ice.
Many people thought that they could finally make some money back, so they quickly cut their losses and escape from the trapped situation.
The bull market in the A-share market, which people still talked about with relish twenty years later, arrived in such a magnificent manner.
