Millennial ......

[Millennium Bug].

A mysterious word that most people actually have a bit of an inexplicable word, in recent years, it has quickly spread all over the world.

From abroad to China, from the professional circle of the Internet to the outside of the circle, from university professors to primary school students, and then to the general public.

And with that came great panic.

In professional circles, it is considered likely to paralyze all relevant systems, causing a devastating blow.

And in some remote places, among some people who don't know what the Internet is, it is even rumored to be a terrifying alien or underground monster, associated with the prophecies of the destruction of the earth that have been passed down again and again over the years.

And Jiang Che knew that although the Millennium Worm Problem definitely existed, the damage it would actually cause was not as big as predicted and imagined at the moment.

However, he showed a state of "anxiety" and "fear" more than anyone else.

Then, on this ground, Jiang Che ignored the boom of Internet-related stocks, and disregarded any dissuasion and suggestions, and between December 1999 and February and March 2000, he silently and gradually emptied almost all the US stocks he had invested in.

So far, he has more than $13 billion in assets under his name, including a large amount of cash.

This process was not very noticed, because before, Shenjian had already cleared most of its investment partners, including Da Mo, in its own transformation stage, and used its own money to diversify a large number of accounts to invest in the stock market, and its subsequent withdrawal also had a long process, which was not intense.

And then......

It exploded.

On March 10, 2000, the Nasdaq stock index reached its peak of 5,132 points, but the deterioration of the financial situation of Internet companies, the disclosure of financial fraud, and the cashing out of executives showed that a crisis was coming.

On April 3, 2000, Microsoft's monopoly case was pronounced and the case was lost, and Microsoft recorded the largest drop in a single day. This also announced the beginning of the bursting of the dot-com bubble, and the stock prices of high-tech companies fell sharply, including Cisco's shares, which fell by 90%.

The above is known as the first dot-com bubble burst, and Silicon Valley and Wall Street have been hit hard.

And then it quickly spread around the world...... Including China.

China's dot-com start-up boom, which has only been on the rise for two or three years, has been almost devastating.

"What am I doing?!"

Jiang Che has been watching for more than half an hour. Zheng Xinfeng, who was holding the baby, as well as Qu Mo, Lao Biao, and Sandun...... There are also ignorant foresters who hold their stomachs. Of course, Sandun itself, in fact, didn't think about anything, and didn't know why, just followed along.

Is that okay?

Is it so godly?

It is said that even Warren Buffett has been affected in this wave......

The people around me who know (except for Zhao Sandun) are now in a very conflicted mood, on the one hand, they really want to kneel for Jiang Che, hug their legs and shout God, on the other hand, they want to dissect him.

Zheng Xinfeng: "You, are you really scared by the Millennium Bug?"

Jiang Che: "Well, didn't you all watch the process?"

"......" Several people were silent, exchanged glances with each other, and did not gain anything. Zheng Xinfeng turned back, handed the little cricket forward into Jiang Che's arms, and then said, "Son, hurry, suck some shit luck." ”

The cricket and Jiang Che were originally close, although they were not sensible, but as if they understood, they buried their heads in his arms and arched hard.

Everyone just burst out laughing.

Jiang Che's phone rang.

The call was from Ma Huateng......

"I know that Tencent is in a very difficult situation now, but our user growth is still very fast, isn't it? Funding issues...... It's also very difficult for me to be honest on my side, and I have lost a lot in the U.S. stock market before...... But don't worry, I'll do my best to ......"

After Jiang Che finished speaking, he hung up the phone and glanced at everyone who was in a state of onlookers again.

Calls like this, from different people, he has been getting several times a day lately.

"What are you doing?" inexplicably a little bit of a petty feeling, Jiang Che was dissatisfied and said: "Compared with being relaxed and having spare strength, such adversity sees the truth, and my family doesn't have much charcoal like this, but I still grit my teeth and send charcoal in the snow...... Isn't it warmer and better? Besides, if you're like this, what are you not used to?"

Zhao Sandun: "No." ”

Lao Biao: "I'm used to it. ”

Zheng Xinfeng rubbed the head of the little cricket, "Son, do you see it? ”

Lin Yujing touched her belly, "Don't listen, baby, alas, you must not learn this, you have to be bright, righteous, and high...... Besides, if you're a girl......"

The word she uses is just in case.

In other words, whether Lin Gong is a son or a daughter in his belly, in fact, it can almost be detected from technical means, but Jiang Che inexplicably wants to wait for the results to be revealed naturally to see if his "supernatural powers" are real, Lin Yujing also finds it so interesting.

Therefore, I never asked the doctor.

Qu Mo is the calmest, "continue to invest?...... Jiang Che, are you sure that the Internet still has a future?"

"Sure, this is the general trend of the development of human society, which is unstoppable. Jiang Che said firmly.

"That ......" Qu Mo reacted quickly.

Jiang Che nodded, and then said: "When the Nasdaq is brought down by Internet companies and falls to around 1,500 points, we will re-enter the market, start to buy back the shares that were previously sold, and increase the share, and at the same time invest in the surviving and emerging Internet-related companies in the market." ”

"Understood. Qu Mo nodded solemnly, at this moment, she no longer believed in those nonsense such as Jiang Che's "relying on deception", "relying on luck", "relying on pits" and so on.

In the eyes of this world-class financial woman, the Jiang Che they are very familiar with in front of them is actually a super financial genius who is lacking in professionalism but has a godlike judgment of the general trend, and is also an investment genius.

At about the same stage, because of the explosion of the Internet, the main battlefield of investment, capital began to look for new investment hotspots around the world.

If you can't find it, you can find it.

It was against such a background that Morgan Stanley, under the leadership of Sima Pengze, quietly avoided Zheng Xinfeng and Jiang Che, directly approached the local government, and at the same time bribed the leaders of the enterprise...... sole proprietorship, won the Sanjulu, which had been forced to the corner at this time.

After the said good suppression, Sima Pengze made the first move and swallowed it alone.

…………

The meeting was in Shencheng, the café a long time ago, Sima Pengze took the initiative to invite, and it was also the place he booked.

Once, he was forced to sell Cheng Xiao here, and sold the cooperative home e-commerce ...... Now, I have finally found my way back.

This time, Sima Pengze put Jiang Che together and stood outside the pit.

"Smack......

Entering the door, Zheng Xinfeng directly raised his hand and smashed a cup, showing anger.

Sima Pengze sat on the chair, steady as Mount Tai, not panicked at all, if you have to say what you feel: he is enjoying this moment.

Zheng Xinfeng kicked the table and said angrily: "Do you know how low I pressed the profits of Dengfeng milk powder in order to suppress Sanjulu and create acquisition opportunities? I even sold at a loss for a while...... You're eating it for me?!"

Looking at the angry Zheng Xinfeng, Sima Pengze smiled calmly and magnificently, not angry at all.

"I haven't been here for a long time, I've changed the boss here, I've changed the decoration", as if it meant something, Sima Pengze pointed to the surrounding environment of the box, and said slowly, "Everything has a new atmosphere, it can't be just me, and I still suffer old losses, right?"

"......" Zheng Xinfeng and Jiang Che didn't speak for a while.

"Mr. Jiang, are you right?" Sima Pengze looked at Jiang Che with a smile, "There is an old Chinese saying that feng shui turns in turn...... Come to my house today. That's a good point. ”

"So, Brother Sima has been planning for a long time, right?" Jiang Che asked rhetorically, saying, "In this matter, you actually just used Dengfeng to complete the acquisition from the beginning, right?"

"What's more, the old man simply endured the humiliation. Sima Pengze laughed and stood up at the same time.

He walked up to Zheng Xinfeng and stretched out his hand.

Zheng Xinfeng did not move.

Sima Pengze forcibly shook hands, "In the future, we will be competitors...... Mr. Zheng. Sanjulu is a top national brand, and I couldn't bear to look at it when I was forced like that by you before. We can rest assured that we will soon introduce a new production line through a world-class related company with investment and cooperation, and at the same time increase the investment ......."

To be honest, it is very rare that throughout the 90s and the beginning of the new millennium, foreign investors were willing to increase investment after acquiring a Chinese national brand to try to make it better.

Most of those brands were hidden, dismantled, or wiped out.

Or maybe Comrade Sima is really going to get out of his anger?! Or is he planning to gradually break away from Da Mo in the next step and really become a big entrepreneur in China?

sprinkled, Sima Pengze said a lot in one breath, but he didn't say that he built his own ranch, because that thing was too slow to achieve results from construction to use, and then to create benefits. His efforts are not in practical aspects such as product quality, but only in the two perspectives of production capacity and marketing. What's more, foreign-funded enterprises still have advantages in terms of policies and taxes.

At the same time, there is another thing, in fact, Jiang Che already knew one step earlier - because of the promise made at the time of the buyout, the leadership of Sanjulu was basically retained for the time being after losing part of its dominance.

"See the truth on the battlefield. ”

After saying this last sentence, Sima Pengze looked heroic and strode out of the box. This feeling, even Jiang Che suddenly felt that he should be given a BGM - such as "turn over the serf and sing".

The whole meeting lasted less than ten minutes.

Then, it is a comprehensive market war, advertising war, and public opinion war after Dengfeng and foreign capital enter Sanjulu, which lasts for several months......

The core is the competition for the dominance of industry testing standards.

August 2000. The quality supervision department of Shencheng made a surprise spot check, and then seized a batch of milk powder of "Sanjulu" due to quality problems.

The news was announced in the media, which immediately caused an uproar.

"Shencheng is a platform for climbing to the top and maliciously suppressing competitors. ”

"Foreign investment is persecuted by local protectionism. ”

"Dengfeng wants to monopolize the dominance of industry standards and monopolize the market. ”

“……”

Sima Pengze and Sanjulu immediately counterattacked. Even the original leaders of Sanjulu stood up and condemned Dengfeng's shameless suppression of Sanjulu all along.

In this regard, Dengfeng only had one response, and Zheng Xinfeng spent a huge amount of money to shout directly to the people in the form of TV commercials:

"The standard of climbing the peak is the highest standard in the country, the standard of climbing the peak should become the standard of the whole industry, and the standard of climbing the peak is responsible for the future of tens of millions of motherlands. ”

This is not only for Sanjulu, Dengfeng Zheng Xinfeng is almost the enemy of the entire industry.

Although the advertisement was stopped just two days later due to the intervention of the relevant part, who is Zheng Xinfeng? In the past eight years, he has been the most talked about and trafficked business figure in China. In terms of the persistence and universality of the impact, it is even greater than Jiang Che.

Zheng Xinfeng personally went into battle and appeared frequently, and the influence of advertising was not weakened in the slightest......

As a result, the relevant departments had to step in and mediate.

However, Zheng Xinfeng refused.

The fighting raged into September. Things changed suddenly, and a middle-level cadre named Li Huifeng with a sense of justice in Sanjulu took a huge risk to stand up and released some of the information he had to the media:

"Yes, there's melamine, a chemical, in there. ”

"In fact, there have been two times before, and the higher-level departments have detected it and asked, but the enterprise has not changed. ”

"I don't know exactly what went wrong. ”

"However, there are already children who have problems, but they have not been noticed. ”

“……”

If this matter is spread out in another stable period, Jiang Che doesn't know if it will be useful, but it is now in the public opinion war between Dengfeng and Sanjulu...... Therefore, no one can hide it.

The problem of the bombing was finally blown up.

At the same time, it is not the entire domestic dairy and milk powder industry that explodes together, because this time, compared with the reference, standing there is another national brand - Dengfeng.

Just as this emerging national enterprise said before: the standard of climbing the peak is the highest standard in the country, the standard of climbing the peak should become the standard of the whole industry, and the standard of climbing the peak is responsible for the future of tens of millions of motherlands.

Now, no one doubts these three sentences anymore.

…………

Deep City, a river house villa that has just moved in.

Zheng Xinfeng has just returned from Yanjing.

Seeming to be a little tired, Secretary Zheng sat down and said in the first sentence: "There are a lot of people who have entered Sanjulu, the original leaders of the enterprise...... and Sima Pengze also went in, but he shouldn't go to jail. Also, the superior requested...... I bought the shell of the Sanju deer. ”

Jiang Che nodded and said with a smile: "President Zheng has worked hard to revitalize the national dairy industry, popularize new industry standards, appease farmers, and establish a new joint ranch and fresh milk purchase system...... It's all up to President Zheng. ”

He looked a little joking, but everything he said was actually not easy.

"Mr. Jiang is polite. Zheng Xinfeng, the new president of the China Dairy Association, is called Zheng Xinfeng, the milk bully, and said with a smile.

"Not to put it mildly. Jiang Che took it seriously, pointed to the top of Zheng Xinfeng's head and said, "You can't see it yourself, right? ”

It seems that in 1993, Jiang Che once fooled Lao Zheng, saying that if a person "gathers public opinion and merits", there will be a cyclone above his head.
