Although the number of biotechnology companies researching human embryonic stem cells is still only a small number in the biotech industry, this news will still cause the entire bio sector to plummet. Then, Internet stocks also plummeted, and no one knows why, perhaps simply because of the trend. Biotech and cybertech, while both called technologies, are actually very unrelated, and there is no reason to go up or down together.

After the plunge on the first day, many investors found themselves on the verge of being forced to liquidate their positions and had to cut their flesh hard. This move triggered an even more serious plunge!

But that's what happened on March 13-15, 2000 – a plunge in a handful of biotech stocks triggered the entire Nasdaq crash. The Nasdaq Composite Index plunged more than 100 points for three consecutive days.

Then, just after the interest rate hike, the news came that Microsoft had been sued for monopoly. All kinds of negative news are still increasing, and there are more and more individuals and funds in the market who have been forced to liquidate, followed by a sharp drop in stocks, even if they are excellent companies, and with the accumulation of time, the profits of the stock index futures of Zhao Song Group Investment Company are also increasing rapidly......

However, the profit of the group company is very eye-catching, and although country M can be shorted, there are restrictions on shorting in any country, such as legal restrictions and counterparty issues. At the end of March, the company had no counterparty and had to settle the transaction. However, it still generated a huge profit of more than $5 billion, but it also received a warning from the Securities Regulatory Commission of M. And was asked to prohibit shorting. Immediately, most of the company's funds were invested in the national bonds of M.

The investment department of the group company has also begun to reap the harvest of other markets, for the same reason, now the whole world has entered the stage of economic contraction, the stock market has plummeted, the price of metals in Europe has also plummeted, and oil has also plummeted, and it seems that all countries have entered a period of confusion, and the days of endless ups and downs have begun!

The 1999-2000 work summary and commendation conference of Zhao Song Group will also be held in Australia in the southern hemisphere, mainly considering the most suitable climate there, of course, after the global stock market crash caused by economic deflation, the price of iron ore and other primary products has also fallen sharply, and the current price in Australia is also very low.

Australia is a vast state with very different weather conditions in different regions, but most of the year is mild. In April, it is spring in country M, but it is autumn in Australia, the climate is relatively dry, the precipitation is much less, and most of it is mainly sunny. The weather in XN is milder and more pleasant. It is about 25 degrees Celsius during the day and 15 degrees Celsius at night, and the temperature difference is relatively large.

After learning about the weather conditions in XN, Australia in April, and the temperature difference between day and night, it is necessary to consider what clothes to wear when traveling to Australia, and bring enough clothes to keep warm. The daytime temperature in April is still relatively high in Australia, so it is best to wear long-sleeved shirts and T-shirts, and if some people are particularly afraid of heat, it may not be necessary to wear short-sleeved shirts. However, the temperature at night is relatively low, so it is best to bring a relatively thin jacket suitable for autumn. In addition to clothing, you can also bring some sunscreen to pay attention to sun protection, as well as essential things such as umbrellas.

Preparations for the conference began as early as mid-March and were delayed until early April because of the statistics of the global harvest, and until the situation of the European branch, which had been established for several months, basically stabilized.

On the one hand, it is the largest financial center in Europe, and on the other hand, it is also the highest degree of economic openness!

Zhao Hong temporarily came to an end because of the affairs of country M, and the rest was some thing-related work, and after explaining the general business principles of this year, he left SFS City, and first returned to China to visit Guo Yi and the domestic branch.

At this time, the domestic economy was also a chicken feather, and it had just begun to expand investment and encountered a global economic contraction.

Arrived in Haishi, got out of the airport, got into the car that Guo Yi personally came to pick him up, and walked all the way to look at the many half-pulled projects that had been stopped outside, many of which were foreign-invested projects.

Guo Yi was also somewhat aware of his discovery, sighed and said, "I thought the domestic economy would be better this year, but at present, it is basically the same as last year, according to Xiaojin's judgment, there will be greater difficulties in exports this year, and the development of the domestic market has slowed down a little." At present, more and more foreign-funded enterprises are withdrawing or defaulting, and everyone is holding their pockets tightly and dare not invest!"

Zhao Hong also shook his head helplessly, "The unfinished buildings I saw all the way are proof of this! This year's foreign-funded enterprises are not having a good time, the interest rate on bank loans is very high, and governments are tightening monetary policy. However, this is our opportunity, this year our enterprise funds are still relatively abundant, if there is a good opportunity in the country, then we must seize the opportunity to strive for the greatest benefits. Among them, especially in the field of production and processing. The huge domestic market and cheap labor provide us with a very big advantage in participating in the competition around the world. ”

Guo Yi said with a smile, "Does that mean that there are more market opportunities in China? And the group will increase its investment in China." ”

Zhao Hong also smiled and said, "Of course." At present, the group company is setting up a branch in Europe, taking advantage of the world's economic contraction, the acquisition of some small and medium-sized enterprises, mainly clothing, machinery and other industries, their production departments, gradually transferred to the country, and then use their original brand channel sales, so that the enterprise of course has a relatively high profit margin. Of course, it has also improved the equipment level of domestic production enterprises, so that we have also improved the development level of some domestic industries. Employment can also be increased on a large scale, so that many workers in enterprises who have previously withdrawn from their production areas can be given the opportunity to re-employ. ”

Guo Yi's expression also relaxed with his explanation, she was worried that the development of the domestic company had encountered a bottleneck, but now she can rest assured, it turns out that he has already planned and arranged, and his worries are somewhat unnecessary.

When they got home, they waited, Jack and Guo's father and Guo's mother welcomed them, Jack's non-stop questions made Zhao Hong feel very happy, and Guo's father and Guo's mother also treated their children like they greeted each other, he felt that this was the atmosphere that a real family should have!

The family got together to talk about the light topics of this time, Jack also went to visit his former friends, talked about the friendship of their kindergarten classmates, a certain boy has begun to get thicker and thicker, a certain girl has become a little charming and moving, and even if he is not about to go to study in country M, he is ready to go to the formal "pursuit" once, write a "love letter" to try!

Guo's father and mother have also made arrangements for this departure, and Guo Yi's brothers and sisters have made some explanations and arrangements. I didn't explain the details, but I guess I was still a little worried.

Zhao Hong comforted them and said, "Actually, you can come back often in the future, and they can also go to country M to visit you, so don't worry too much." Including me and Guo Yi have to come back often, because my parents are still here, and my brothers and sisters are also here. And the company will continue to grow here for a long time. ”

There was a little relief on the faces of the two old men, after all, this was the son-in-law's promise, and he also had the strength to realize it easily. While you're not too old, you can travel around the world, which is actually pretty good!

The next day, after a lazy sleep and jet lag, Zhao Hong and Guo Yi took Jack and their youngest daughter to visit his parents, brother and sister-in-law.

They were arranged by her into two houses near the company, both of which are in a community, both of which are not big, but they are well decorated, one with two floors and one with three floors.

Guo Yi introduced all the way, which is also in line with Zhao Hong's meaning. Although the brother and sister-in-law are very filial, but living with their parents for a long time will inevitably have inconveniences, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will inevitably have contradictions, so it is better to separate! But far away, the old man is inevitably lonely, and from time to time he hopes to see his son and grandson, so this distance is just right! He also praised her in his heart!

In the past, Zhao Hong's parents were there, and his nephew had already started to go to school, which was also solved by the company, which was nothing more than the problem of sponsorship fees. In fact, the company has solved a lot of this type of trouble in batches, and it is already familiar with the road.

Parents are very satisfied with the life of Haishi, mainly because my brother has changed the mental outlook of the whole person since he came to Haishi, the company's prosperity is prosperous, the internal simple personnel relationship, and a more decent position, colleagues generally welcome him who is more cheerful, and only the leader is only the project manager Wang Yang, who is doing the actual work of the project department with the position of assistant manager, and Zhao Hong's sister-in-law is the same, doing the assistant to the branch manager Hu Lijin, and gradually began to understand the operation and business scope of the branch, pondering the operation mode and management mode of all aspects of the enterprise。 More than a month has passed, not to mention their work achievements, but at least they have begun to integrate into the company.

Zhao Hong's parents will naturally be happier when they see their children happy, and the superior living conditions of Haishi also make them feel a better life than T City!

Walking into his parents' house, he and Guo Yi were warmly welcomed, of course, the most important thing was to welcome Jack and the little granddaughter, they were just in passing.

Zhao Hong's mother took out all the delicious food and brought it to Jack, and Zhao Hong's father had already taken over the little granddaughter from his daughter-in-law, and they were all very happy, throwing their son and daughter-in-law aside, without taking care of it.

Zhao Hong said with an aggrieved expression, "If you have grandchildren, you don't want a son!"

Guo Yi was also happy when he heard it! For a while, the family was full of happiness!
