Chapter 160: Cao's Financial Bankruptcy
In this way, it seems that the president has no energy to deal with Cang Hao, because even if Cang Hao dies, it will not help the current situation.
At least wait until he solves all the troubles before thinking about taking revenge on Cang Hao, of course, provided that he can solve it.
As for how the satellite exploded, the media under the control of the second person on the Russian side reported that it was an accident, and there was no mention of the possibility of being shot down.
In other words, a tacit understanding has been formed between the second person on the Russian side and Cang Hao, after all, Cang Hao actually helped the second person, and the second person has no reason to betray Cang Hao, and must find other reasons for the destruction of the satellite.
The hot speculation on the Internet also popularized Cang Hao's knowledge of Russian politics, generally speaking, the number two person is appointed by the president, and theoretically speaking, the president can choose the person he likes to hold this important position.
However, the number two man had too much power in the country, and the president had to have some concerns, so he could only give him the position of prime minister.
According to Russian law, if the president announces his resignation, the second person is the first in line to the throne, that is, Serchenko, the former boss, is likely to become the new president.
There are new things every day under the sun, Cang Hao just brushed the Russian news for a while, and immediately, there was other news on the Internet.
At first, it was the British side that said that a nuclear explosion was detected over China a few days ago.
Subsequently, the French side also issued a similar report, followed by country M and Dongying, but the Russian side did not express its position.
Cang Hao has no doubt that the Russian side also detected this explosion, but he was too busy with domestic affairs to take care of it.
Then, countries condemned China for violating the rules by conducting nuclear weapons tests in the outer atmosphere, and China quickly reacted, claiming that it had always complied with its previous commitments and had neither conducted nuclear tests nor proliferated nuclear weapons into the outer atmosphere.
However, Huaxia has never said whether a nuclear explosion was also detected, nor has it mentioned that the nuclear explosion produced a large number of electromagnetic pulses.
Originally, the political situation in Russia was the focus of the world's media, but the focus immediately shifted to this nuclear explosion.
In other words, there is no evidence in the West to prove that China conducted a nuclear test, and China has no evidence to prove that it did not conduct a nuclear test.
As a result, the two sides engaged in a war of words, and in the end, it became doubtful whether there had ever been such a nuclear explosion.
There has been a suggestion on the part of the United Nations that the two sides form a joint investigation team to find out the truth.
However, no one takes this seriously, and if it is an underground or underwater nuclear explosion, it can be measured by sampling soil and seawater to determine whether there is zĂ i radioactivity, and the yield and time of the nuclear explosion can be reversed.
A nuclear explosion that can occur in the outer atmosphere has no way of taking samples and leaving no traces.
After the Spear of Ares exploded, all the wreckage fell into the atmosphere and burned up, leaving not even the only evidence left.
Since the nuclear explosion had no effect, the final result would be nothing more than a Malaysia Airlines plane, forgotten.
For a whole day, Cang Hao was watching the news, on the one hand, to grasp the progress of the situation, and on the other hand, to make up some relevant knowledge to facilitate the analysis of possible developments in the future.
When it was almost time to get off work, Cang Hao turned off the computer, took a long breath, and prepared to go back to Cuifeng Village.
At this time, Wen Xiaohai broke into the office directly without even knocking on the door.
"What are you doing?" Cang Hao was a little unhappy: "Panicked, what do you look like!"
"Mr. Cang......" Wen Xiaohai's face was like ashes: "Hurry up and think of a way, otherwise...... The company is going to go bankrupt!"
"What a broken property, you decaying mouth!" Cang Hao became even more angry: "Seeing that you get off work, can you say something nice!"
"Mr. Cang, you forgot, you asked me to short the insurance stock in country M......" Wen Xiaohai asked in shock: "You...... Didn't you look at the market?"
The working hours on the Huaxia side are the market holidays in country M, and Wen Xiaohai has been working the night shift these days and has been staring at the market.
This is the first time he has undertaken an important job, hoping to be able to show himself well, and try not to trouble Cang Hao when he encounters trouble, but the stock market of Country M did not give him this opportunity.
This morning, he didn't get off work, but stayed in the company to analyze the market, and in the end he really couldn't find a way, so he had to ask Cang Hao.
Cang Hao hurriedly turned on the computer and called up the stock market of country M, but he was dumbfounded.
That insurance stock soared, all the way up, and what Cang Hao had expected did not happen at all.
"Mr. Cang......" Wen Xiaohai swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Hurry up and think of a way, in four hours, it will be open again." â
"Why didn't you sue me sooner?"
"I ...... Hope to solve it yourself. Wen Xiao said with a sad face: "But I really can't solve it!"
"Of course you can't fix it. Cang Hao slowly shook his head: "If you can manipulate the rise and fall of the stock market in country M, will you still be a wage earner here?!"
"I have taken all our funds to short sell, after today, on the next trading day of country M's trading time, the first batch of futures index contracts will expire......" Wen Xiaohai was about to cry: "Either we give people stocks, or we give people money!"
Futures index is also stock index futures, simply put, it is an agreement with others to trade a fixed stock at a fixed price at a fixed time in the future.
If the trading price is higher than the current price, it is a long position, and vice versa.
Cang Hao expected the stock to fall, so he went short, who knew that it would rise like this, Cang Hao could only buy the agreed number of shares at the current price and deliver it to the other party, which was too amazing.
Cang Hao sighed: "How much will we lose?"
"After all the contracts expire, I guess...... We're going to have a loss of $20 million. Wen Xiaohai shook his head vigorously: "Cao's Finance can be declared bankrupt!"
The opening of the stock market in country M was 21:30 in the evening of Huaxia Beijing time, and in these four hours, Cang Hao must find a solution, otherwise Cao's Finance really has only one way to go bankrupt.
However, time passed minute by minute, and Cang Hao never had a choice.
According to Admiral Linus, the military of country M should have broken out a scandal, but in the past few days, the legendary scandal has never appeared.
The batch of equipment that Cang Hao bought had already been put into operation at the base in South Africa, and Country M seemed to have forgotten the storage of this batch of equipment, and did not even ask the insurance company to compensate according to the price.
The media no longer mentions the robbery of the pre-positioned troops at sea, as if it had never happened.
During this time, neither Admiral Linus nor Alyssa had ever contacted Cang Hao, and Cang Hao didn't know what was going on on their side.
Suddenly, Cang Hao was a little skeptical that Admiral Linus had dug a pit for himself to jump into.
However, Cang Hao immediately denied this possibility, because Admiral Linus had no way of knowing that he would short the stock, and his decision to short the stock was only a temporary decision.
More importantly, even if Cao's Finance goes bankrupt, what good will it do to Admiral Linus.
This man is a pragmatist who will do things that harm others and benefit himself, but he has little interest in things that harm others and not himself.
Even if Cang Hao starts to reverse long now, writing off the losses caused by the previous shorting, the company has no money on its books.
Soon, other employees of the company also came, noisily asking Cang Hao to hurry up and get an idea.
"Shut up for me!" Cang Hao slapped the table: "I'm annoyed!"
"Everyone is very annoying!" The person who spoke was Zhai Guowen, an expert hired by Cao Yaru from outside with a high salary after the establishment of Cao's Finance: "Mr. Cang, you were the one who decided to short sell stocks at the beginning, and now that the market is in trouble, of course you are the one who should be responsible!"
Cang Hao said word by word: "I didn't say that I am not responsible!"
"Then how should you be responsible?" Zhai Guowen relied on the fact that he was personally hired by Cao Yaru, and he had a very high status in the company, so he was bold enough to speak out, and dared to openly contradict Cang Hao: "So far, I have only seen that you are helpless, and you have not proposed any useful suggestions!"
As soon as Zhai Guowen's voice fell, an employee nodded slightly, which shows that Zhai Guowen's views are very influential within the company.
"Okay, then how about you give some advice, the constructive kind?" Cang Hao sneered: "The company hired an expert like you with a high salary to accuse me!"
"If you make mistakes in your work, anyone here can accuse you!" Zhai Guowen is very gentle, thin and weak, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and he looks like a scholar at first glance. On the contrary, this scholar did not speak bookishly, and became more and more harsh: "When I first decided to sell short, I was against it, because Mr. Cang did not have any sufficient reasons. You don't have reliable information channels, you don't do enough data analysis, you don't even listen to everyone's opinions, and you let the company put all the money into it. The company isn't yours anyway, so it doesn't matter if it goes out of business, right?"
"I have shares in this company!" Cang Hao slowly stood up and looked at Zhai Guowen: "You think I want the company to go out of business?"
"OK, maybe I'm a little extreme, but I don't see any countermeasures from you so far. Zhai Guowen looked at Cang Hao indifferently: "I just think that Mr. Cang, you are a little too rigid and self-serving, and your personal talent is completely disproportionate to your ambition!"
"Zhai Guowen, you better say a few words!" Wen Xiaohai interjected: "You have no right to accuse Mr. Cang!"
"Shut up, this time you're in charge, and if the company does go bankrupt, you're also responsible. Zhai Guowen glared at Wen Xiaohai, and said word by word: "I will write your situation into materials and forward it to all companies in the same industry, don't expect to be mixed in this industry in your life!"
"...... you" Wen Xiaohai's face turned red, and he was really angry: "Are you not responsible?"
"I really don't have any responsibility, because I once strongly advised Mr. Cang not to act rashly. Taking a deep breath, Zhai Guowen raised his voice and said: "At the beginning, Cao Yaru hired me to come to this company, and I explained very clearly that I would assist Mr. Cang to run this company well, and if necessary, I would correct Mr. Cang's improper actions. There are some things I have wanted to say for a long time, and I have always been fulfilling my duties, but Mr. Cang has disappointed me too much. â
Now, up and down the Cao Group, they all know what the relationship between Cang Hao and the Cao family's father and daughter is, and it is said that they should hold and respect Cang Hao.
However, there are some people who don't take Cang Hao seriously, and even often express their hostility.
These people have their own backgrounds, and Zhai Guowen is one of them.
When Cang Hao heard these words, he realized that Zhai Guowen's arrogant capital was that he was an undercover agent sent by Cao Yaru by his side.
In other words, Cao Yaru was not at all at ease to let Cang Hao run Cao's Finance alone, so she let Zhai Guowen secretly monitor, and there might even be others.
