March passed half a month unconsciously.

Since Xia Aizhen came to the house, Li Yang felt that he had changed his life, and truly experienced the rich life of stretching out his hands with food and clothes.

I have to say that Xia Aizhen is really satisfied with doing things.

What I need to do every day is to get up in the morning, wash up, come down to eat, go home after finishing work in the company, someone picks up Qingqing, he is to read books and do homework together after eating at night, and then watch TV.

If it weren't for the little guy's hot call from a little uncle, Li Yang really doubted whether he had stepped into the life of a dad in advance.

Sometimes Li Yang himself thought in his heart what would it be like if Li Ping and Cao Fang divorced in his previous life, he insisted on keeping Qingqing.

After thinking about it, I feel that the past cannot be assumed, not to mention whether there is such a possibility, that is, the state of getting up early and living in the dark in my previous life, I am afraid that there will not be such a comfortable way of living now.

But comfortable days always go by quickly.

Li Yang also knows that the premise of maintaining this kind of life is that the development momentum of Blue Sky Technology is getting better and better.

It's just that a lot of things don't go as planned.

As the era slowly enters the year 2000, many expected things have begun to emerge.

At the beginning of March,

Li Yang began to focus on the situation in the U.S. Internet market.

After all, the year 2000 is a time point that cannot be ignored for the world's Internet.

Li Yang had already prepared in his heart.

It's just that when this kind of preparation really comes to an end, he finds that he can't reverse this predicament at all.

Even some of the recent actions in the company have become a bit restrictive.

March 10th.

Across the ocean, the Nasdaq suddenly fell from its peak to a record level, triggering a worldwide stock market crash on the same day.

As soon as Li Yang arrived at the company.

Tian Mengfei and Zhuo Baolin came over to talk to him about this matter, and Li Yang also knew what these two guys were thinking.

It is nothing more than how much impact this incident will have on the domestic Internet market.

Li Yang had no choice but to try his best to communicate with the two of them with the plot in his memory.

But he knew it in his heart.

This is just the beginning.

The real crisis is yet to come.

March 15th.

The Nasdaq experienced another Waterloo-style crash, with the index plummeting from more than 5,000 in early March to 4,000, falling nearly 1,000 points in less than a week.

The ensuing ripple effect was even more unexpected.

Wall Street's major investment banks have withdrawn from Internet companies, and a large number of Internet companies have begun to go bankrupt.

While public opinion in the United States is in an uproar, the voices of the world singing about the Internet are also rising one after another, and even domestic public opinion is beginning to change the direction of the wind.

This time, even Li Yang couldn't sit still.

When I arrived early the next morning, the company immediately called an emergency meeting.

in the conference room.

Zhuo Baolin and Tian Mengfei had already arrived, and they still had sad expressions.

Seeing Li Yang come in, he immediately asked, "Boss, the United States has already begun to plummet, have you read the news?"

Li Yang nodded.

Tian Mengfei then said: "I think this time the Yankees may really not be able to survive, such a large-scale decline is very likely to trigger a more serious chain reaction, but I don't know how much the country will be affected." ”

Li Yang frowned and said:

"There will definitely be an impact, but it shouldn't be that big, after all, we have an old saying that the higher you climb, the harder you fall.

In the past few years, the Internet has developed too fast, but the real support of physical enterprises and technology is not solid, which is the same as building a house without laying a solid foundation.

As for the domestic market, our scale is too small, and the focus of foreign venture capital is not here, and even if there is a loss, it will not be too big. ”

"Then what should we do? Is the expansion of the business on the Circle of Friends slowing down, after all, the current market will definitely be affected by the United States. ”

Tian Mengfei is also taking precautions.

However, Li Yang had already thought about it in his heart.

"This doesn't need to, let's do ours, the Yankees are down, it doesn't mean that we can't do it, but I think this is a good opportunity." ”

Li Yang did not beat around the bush.

Because he knows it well.

For the current blue sky technology, the most potential industry is the prototype of the social network of the circle of friends, if you shrink because of the Internet bubble, then you will definitely miss this good opportunity in the end.

Because if he remembers correctly, the Internet crisis entering the first two years of the twenty-first century did not last too long.

Once the Americans come to their senses and start over, there is basically nothing to do with him.

In fact, this is indeed the case with subsequent developments.

However, Tian Mengfei's words are not entirely alarmist.

After all, this is a worldwide crisis, and even China, which has not yet joined the TO, is unlikely to be immune to it.

Naturally, Blue Sky Technology will definitely be affected, not to mention that now because of the imminent implementation of the free trial system of the network management system, there will definitely be a shortage of funds on the company's books for a period of time.

Originally, Li Yang had already submitted a loan application to the bank, but now it happened to be such a special period, and it was also a big question whether the bank would approve it, after all, the amount of his loan was definitely not small.

At least it starts with a few million, or even tens of millions.

After all, in addition to the shortage of funds caused by the free promotion of the network management system, the company has also started the research and development of antivirus software, and in early March, it has smashed out nearly 3 million yuan just to buy new equipment.

And with the development of the next promotion work, once the number of registered users in the circle of friends exceeds 1 million, in order to maintain the stability and quality of the system, at least 5 million working capital must be reserved to add servers.

In this case, the number of loans will definitely increase.

Naturally, the difficulty of borrowing money has also increased exponentially.

"If that's the case, will the funds in our company be able to turn around?"

Seeing that Li Yang didn't talk.

Tian Mengfei and Zhuo Baolin immediately began to put out the numbers and talk about the amount of funds one by one, and in the end, they even came to the conclusion that once the flow of funds was not smooth, they would face the conclusion that they would face the suspension of double-line operations.

Li Yang even frowned when he heard this.

He also knew that Tian Mengfei and Zhuo Baolin were not worrying about destroying their prestige, but this situation was very likely to happen.

But I still made up my mind.

"I'll figure out a way to solve the problem of funds, you don't have to worry about it, as long as the technology is done well, I'm not afraid that there will be no profit growth points. ”

"It's not a matter of a while! Not to mention anything else, just our antivirus software, the profit must have been half a year later, and this is still if the development process is going well, I'm afraid we won't last that time." ”

"So what do you say, what do you think is useful for the business that has been stopped?"

Li Yang is also a little hot.

How can this man not make sense!

But it's not angry.

But I also keep an eye on it in my heart, after all, this is the actual problem encountered at the moment, and everything may be there.

If it really doesn't work, then he can only be cheeky to find Liu Runping.

"I think so, what we should do must continue to do, after all, the market is ever-changing, and the only thing that can last for a long time is to master the technology in our own hands first.

As for the matter of funds, the balance on the company's account can at least support the next charge of the network management system.

At present, the most important thing is that we develop the antivirus software for trial operation as soon as possible, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us. ”

Seeing that Tian Mengfei was still inclined to support Li Yang in the end, Zhuo Baolin had nothing to say.

Wait for the meeting.

The two went back to the laboratory to continue the next round of research, and the newly purchased equipment in the company is still in the commissioning stage in the past few days, and they are not in a hurry.

in the office.

Li Yang finished smoking a cigarette and then lit another one.

The whole room was a little choked with smoke.

Li Mingfang knocked on the door and came in, and immediately covered his mouth and pushed open the window, and couldn't help but bury two sentences in his mouth.

After reporting to him about the afternoon's schedule, he ran out, and didn't forget to give him a blank look before leaving.

Thinking about the loan in his mind, Li Yang didn't care, who knew that the door in the office was suddenly knocked on.

Seeing the person in charge of the financial loan rushing in recklessly, Li Yang saw his serious expression, and immediately realized that things might not be good.

"Boss, the bank called, and our company's loan application was not approved!"

Really!

Li Yang guessed right at once, and immediately frowned.

This is in trouble!

The loan was not approved, and the matter was really approved by Zhuo Baolin.
