The Nasdaq Composite Index continued to decline, and on April 12, local time, the Nasdaq fell below the 4,000-point mark, and the market was in a desperate atmosphere.

E-song's office that belonged to Chen Zier, he appeared again after a few months, Li Zhonghong, Fadell, and Yang Runling were all there, and at this critical moment, everyone's expressions were very nervous.

Lee Jong-hong reported: "There are still several new situations. The first is that most of the Internet companies went public in the second half of 1999, because at that time there was a frenzy, and many companies lined up to enter the NASDAQ, so now there is a problem. ”

Chen Zier can probably think of it, "Now is the time when the 6-month lock-up period ends......"

"Yes, it is precisely because the previous months were half a year of lock-up period, so the trading volume of the Nasdaq was relatively small, but now many companies have reached lock-up periods...... In fact, there is no need to foresee, judging from the situation in the past few days, a sell-off has appeared. ”

In order to take care of Fadel, they actually communicated in English.

Fadel's hair is messy now, and almost all Americans with a little wealth will choose to invest in the stock market, especially since last year, the NASDAQ has been soaring, and the myth of wealth is playing out around you, who can not be moved?

When a catastrophe of this magnitude strikes, a person's normal reaction, the first reaction is not to collapse, but to refuse to accept the facts.

Even Fadell is like this, and many of the employees in the company, almost everyone has lost some degree of wealth, and no one can be happy.

Faddell rubbed his head, clasped his hands on his chest, and said with a sad face: "So boss, do you mean that the NASDAQ will keep falling?" Oh, my God, if it could go up so high before, it should be able to go back!"

Chen Zier gave him some patience and understanding, and many people in the company also need the patience and understanding of his boss.

It's an abnormal time.

"Someone should be responsible for this, there should be money ......to intervene," Fadell still muttered.

"I mean, almost everyone's wealth is shrinking, and it's a disaster!"

Chen Zier looked at him calmly, "Fadell, have you read today's stock market news?"

He didn't speak.

Yang Runling also had a serious face, and replied beside him: "It fell below 4,000 points today." ”

"Oh, God......" Fadel looked like he wanted to cry, but he just held back, just a month ago, that number was 5,000!

Chen Zier looked at Li Zhonghong and motioned for him to continue.

Lao Li nodded, and then said: "Not only is there a sell-off on the NASDAQ, but according to tradition, April is still the tax filing season, which is a maddening coincidence...... Because this will inevitably cause a lot of shock to the stock market, the financial reports of small companies are estimated to be all losses, and large companies... Cisco, Microsoft, Dell, etc., all saw billions of dollars in buys, and all at the same time. Even more troubling is the fact that tech giant Microsoft was accused of monopoly, with Gates forced to resign in January, and the recent news that the court has gathered evidence that Microsoft does have monopolistic practices......"

"Say no more, don't say it again......"

Chen Zier scolded a little harshly, "Fadel, at least you haven't lost your job!"

Li Zhonghong finally finished the last sentence of his report, "A technology giant like Microsoft happened to be in a major difficult situation at this point in time, and this news must have intensified people's panic about technology stocks, although it ...... I was already panicking......"

Yang Runling kindly persuaded, "The boss is right, Fadell, at least you are not unemployed, you still have a job, you are just trapped in the stocks." ”

Chen Zier thought for a while, "Runling, you go and make an evaluation report for me, and briefly touch the number of employees in the company who are more affected." ”

The general environment is like this, no one can be alone, the three of them Oriental personalities are stable, so as not to be affected, but the overall atmosphere of the company is not like this.

Although E-song has no plans to lay off employees, at least people here don't worry about losing their jobs, like Fadell, only part of the funds are trapped.

But for some people, he will sell his house to raise money to enter the stock market, he will borrow money to enter the stock market, and he will fool the money of relatives, friends and family into the stock market......

Chen Zier wants to find out the situation, not to make up for their losses, he wants to figure out the extent of the impact on the company now, and he can't be unclear about anything, then he is like a blind man.

"By the way, what is the attitude of Gore and Morgan Stanley?" are two investors in E-song.

Yang Runling replied: "After the incident, we immediately exchanged opinions, and they all said that in view of the current situation, they will not follow up on the investment after the previous investment is spent. And hope that we will complete the product research and development as soon as possible. ”

"yes, okay. Let's talk about it here, so Runling, you go and gather all the employees of the company, and I'll go over right away. Lao Li, you don't have to stay here, if you know an American friend, a little more reliable, take Qianyu out for a walk, I really don't have time now. And the Hillsborough house, hold on. ”

Both of them are gone, leaving only Chen Zier and Fadell.

He was sitting there remorseful.

"There is an old saying in our China...... Chen Zier left the office chair and sat next to him, "Mount Tai collapses in front and the color remains the same, and the elk is happy in the left and does not look instantaneous, and then it can control the interests and treat the enemy." ”

"You are the person in charge of the E-song I personally appointed, I have always trusted you, and I regard you as a general, and for the way of the general, you should be the first to cure the heart. You're an American and don't understand our ancient wisdom, but I want you to cheer up. ”

Fadel slowly raised his head to look at the young Oriental.

Chen Zier walked out of here, and before leaving, he turned his back to him and said: "I will give you three days off, and after three days, you will either work hard and the research and development of new products must race against time, or ...... You pack up and leave here so that you have time to soothe your fragile heart. ”

He gave Fadel more than patience and understanding, after all, this is the company, an employee who can't adjust his state well, he doesn't need it, so... Finally, there is toughness.

On the other hand, all the E-song employees have put down the work at hand, in fact, they don't have much heart to work, and it is good to be able to stick to this place without collapsing. Nearly two hundred young men gathered in the usual conference room, some crowded, but no one was crowded...... Few people still have the mental head to do these physical tasks.

There was a small platform in front of the conference room, parallel to the door, Chen Zier had already removed his suit jacket, the cuffs were rolled up, and the sound of his leather shoes touching the ground was getting closer and closer......

He's the boss here, and his employees are looking at him eagerly.

In fact, it is not good news to gather everyone at this time.

It's true.

There is wailing all over the place, layoffs everywhere, and now the boss has just arrived at the company and has gathered all the employees, what is this for??

Look at this group of blue-eyed, white-skinned, sad-faced foreigners, their eyes are full of pain, confusion and despair. No one was talking, everyone was silent, and there were old men hiding their faces and crying, and the people next to him were equally uncomfortable, so they could only rub his shoulders for comfort.

It was in this collective mood that Chen Zier walked in through that door, stood on the front stairs, and appeared in front of everyone.

The microphone wire, even the megaphone, seems to be connected to everyone's fragile heart......

The first thing he said was, "Guys, look at me. ”

"Everyone, look at me, look at your boss!"

He rarely had a time when he was emotional, and he didn't want to do this, but when he stood on it and saw almost everyone with their heads down, he couldn't bear it!

"I know some of you are facing bankruptcy, and I know what you are most afraid of coming out of my mouth right now about any word about layoffs......"

In fact, it's better for the boss to hide from the boss, or you won't know what these desperate people will do to you.

However, Chen Zier shouted in the next sentence, "But I swear to God, we don't have any plans to lay off employees! I promise everyone here that none of the employees will be abandoned by E-song today!!"
