Chapter 118: Bankrupt Zheng Hongjie

There is a classic quote in "The Siege" - marriage is like a siege, the people outside want to get in, and the people inside want to come out. The same applies to the stock market, and there is not the slightest sense of disobedience.

Five years ago, Zheng Hongjie was just an ordinary taxi driver. Because he bragged to a customer while driving, he stumbled upon the food processing industry.

Listening to the drunken passenger patting his chest and bragging, how the food processing factory he opened made money, he was faintly moved. At the age of 20, he was naturally unwilling to be a driver for the rest of his life, so from then on, he began to try to understand this unfamiliar industry.

Later, with the little savings of his family and some money borrowed from relatives, he succeeded in buying a small food processing workshop that was not well run.

Although he did not go to university, with his hard-working and studious temperament, he relied on the half-tone management knowledge he learned to make the small workshop bigger and bigger, and finally developed into today's large factory.

Orders are flying like snowflakes, and the canned food and pastries that come out of his factory are not only of good quality, but also much more affordable than their peers. The factory is becoming more and more prosperous, buying land, buying production lines, hiring more employees, and even Kang Shuaifu has placed OEM orders with his factory.

Within five years, Boss Zheng's reputation spread in his hometown. Originally, those relatives and fellow villagers always called him Jiezi, Erdan and the like, but now they are also called Boss Zheng and Brother Zheng in a unified voice.

From having nothing, to setting up a factory in Wanghai City to get rich, buying a car and buying a house, and returning to his hometown from a brother to a boss, his five-year experience can almost write a book.

However, that all changed at the end of last year.

The market has bottomed out, and the rhetoric of pointing at 6124 is very loud. At that time, the market was still moving below 3,000 points, and a friend of his business advised him during a drink that the stock market was easy to make money, and if he had spare money, he could try it.

Although he was a little drunk at the time, Zheng Hongjie's mind was still sober. Reason told him. That zero-sum game is not the right way to go. How can a market that doesn't produce anything create value?

Zheng Hongjie did not listen to the temptation of his friend, but persuaded that friend not to be obsessed with that kind of unreliable thing. But his friend just scoffed and ignored him.

Four months later. His friend bought two apartments in the city, and the original Oriental was replaced by a BMW. During a drink, that friend blushed his neck and bragged about how he relied on a principal of one million to kill all sides in the sea of stocks, setting a proud record of 5 times in a row

Seeing that a friend made a fortune. Zheng Hongjie also had some regrets in his heart. If he had listened to his friend's advice, let alone two suites at this time, he was afraid that the villas would have been lived. He toiled for four months, and he didn't earn as much as his friend in a few days.

After three rounds of drinking, perhaps just out of envy, Zheng Hongjie asked casually: "Is it too late to enter now?"

As soon as he heard this, his friend immediately became interested, and patted his chest vigorously and boasted that "the economic situation is very good" and "the sword is pointing at ten thousand points", "This is a 'war' that bets on the results of reform and reform, and it is impossible to retreat!"

After a burst of impassioned speeches, Zheng Hongjie's heart was moved. If only he was a food processing plant. It will take another ten years for him to become a multi-millionaire, but it may only take a few days in the stock market.

Back at home, he hesitated to open his household. Listening to his friend's guidance, he tentatively threw a small amount of 20,000 yuan into it. He didn't care about it, because he was busy with business, and it wasn't until a month later that he remembered that he had bought a stock.

At that time, he just logged on to the account with curiosity, wanting to see how much the 20,000 yuan had become now. It's just a small amount of 20,000 yuan, and even if he loses a clean one, he doesn't feel very distressed.

It's okay not to look at it, but it scared him when he saw it. The stock capital of 20,000 has become 50,000 at this time!

At that time, he only felt that the world was spinning. What swirled in my head was not excitement, but remorse.

That's right, remorse.

If you had bought two million, it would have been five million! If you had borrowed money to buy ten million. At this moment he became a multimillionaire

Greed is endless, looking at the piercing 5,000 red letters, thinking about the remark in Renren Daily a few days ago that "the bull market is only halfway up the mountain". He quickly transferred all the two million in his bank card to the stock market account, of which 1 million was a bank loan originally used to expand the factory.

"Renren Daily will never fool the people, right?" "XXXX will never lie, right?" "If it really collapses, XXXX will definitely be the first to sit still!"

Well, don't really say it. What if you are trapped? You bite me?

At the beginning, he was really excited, and he earned 40,000 yuan a day for two points. Just looking at the red thread, he felt his whole body tremble with excitement. He has faintly begun to dream of a multimillionaire, completely forgetting his original caution.

However, only half a month later, he experienced what it was like to go from heaven to hell.

The index has been down, the 1,000-share limit has become the norm, and the media has been singing all the way.

"It's hard to buy a cow and turn back. ”

"The short-term pullback wash is for a better rise. ”

"Long-term iron bottom, bold buying. ”

"The market has fallen and there is no way to fall, and the central mother is discussing interest rate cuts and RRR cuts. ”

"Eighty percent of institutions believe that the market has bottomed out. ”

"The entry of pension money into the market is being discussed. ”

"A breakdown of 3,000 points should not be seen as a reversal in the short term. ”

All the way to cover the position, all the way. The friend who patted his chest and promised him that he would not fall below 4,000 points is gone, and it is said that he borrowed money that he should not have borrowed, left his wife and children and fled to the south.

Zheng Hongjie thought about dying, but he couldn't. He has a wife who loves him very much, and a daughter who idolizes her father.

Plant expansion is not to think about.

Because the loan was used for other purposes, in order to avoid being held legally responsible, and being forced to sell the mortgaged assets by the bank, Zheng Hongjie chose the method of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall. He borrowed a sum of money from a business friend, partially repaid the bank loan, and then invested the rest of the money in the factory, hoping to pay off the debt slowly.

But the misfortune happened again.

Within a month, the price of pork skyrocketed and drove the price of other food products, which directly led to the soaring production cost of canned food, which gave the food processing industry a blow to the head. But in order to pay off this debt. He had accepted almost all the orders that came in him without refusal, and then relied on the deposit he received to barely maintain production and pay off his debts.

Orders placed at last month's prices are produced at the cost of this month's surge, and now one can leaves the factory. He had to lose a penny. However, if he did not produce, he had to pay liquidated damages.

If it had been before, he could have dealt with this crisis with sufficient funds, but now

After weighing it, he still chose to breach the contract. Lost the last banknote. He had lost the chance to make a comeback, the bank would no longer lend him money, could no longer pay the wages of the workers, and he had to lay off all the employees.

These five years have been like a dream.

Because of a legitimate Ponzi scheme, he went from the clouds to hell.

"Stock trading is like "Inception", people outside are daunted, and people inside can't extricate themselves. ”

Leaving such an evocative sentence, Zheng Hongjie spit out the last puff of the smoke ring, and then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.

To be honest, Jiang Chen once paid attention to the stock market. It's just that until July, he didn't have much money in his pocket. Luckily, he was an "outside guy" from start to finish.

After listening to his words quietly, Jiang Chen secretly sighed.

"Hehe, your experience could be a book. Do you have any plans for the future?"

"Let's drive, sell the factory, make up the money to pay off the debt, and make up the arrears of wages, although I, Zheng Hongjie, am not a big boss, but I still have to be trustworthy. He smiled self-deprecatingly. Zheng Hongjie shook his head and said.

Honesty is a good shining point, Jiang Chen couldn't help but nod secretly when he heard this. He doesn't know how to run a company, so instead of going to the headhunting market to hire an unfamiliar manager, he should hire this expert directly.

"I'm asking you what you want to do in the future. I didn't ask you what you plan for tomorrow. Jiang Chen smiled, looked at the face that was as old as his age, and asked softly.

Hearing this, Zheng Hongjie was stunned.

"I, maybe driveβ€”"

"It's such a waste, I'm a person who appreciates capable people. Jiang Chen waved his hand and interrupted him. He continued with a smile, "How about it? Are you interested in working in my factory? Xinglong Food Processing Factory is still called Xinglong, and you are still the factory director." ”

With that, Jiang Chen stretched out his right hand and looked at him with a smile.

Stunned, the old face suddenly regained a touch of brightness. From the initial surprise to the last excitement, Zheng Hongjie trembled and stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Chen's outstretched hand.

He never imagined that the new owner of this factory would touch this mold and hire himself as a loser. After all, in any case, this factory was yellowed on his hands.

"The factory closed down not because of your business mistakes, I think Xinglong Food Processing Factory, only in your hands can it play its maximum value. I'm sure you don't want to just let go of your years of hard work, how about it?

"I do!"

There is no need to hesitate to answer.

Putting down Jiang Chen's hand, Zheng Hongjie bent down and picked up the cigarette butt on the ground that had just been stepped on by him.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

"Hehe, the hygiene of the food processing factory can not tolerate sloppiness, when I was the factory director, it is no exaggeration to say that there is not a single cigarette butt in the whole field!" As if blown by the spring breeze, it seems that in an instant, the original ravine-ravine face has returned to its former brilliance.

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, snuffed out the cigarette butt with a smile, and then followed him to the trash can and threw the cigarette butt into the bucket.

"Since the company was acquired by me, I will inject one million, then I ask you to resume production within half a month, I only ask you, are you confident?"

"Yes!"

Seeing Zheng Hongjie shouting at the top of his voice, Jiang Chen laughed, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"There is momentum! I am optimistic about you, and I will go to the industrial and commercial bureau to complete the formalities. ”

"Hehe, boss, can I invite you to my house for dinner after completing the formalities? I'm a little short of money, and I can't afford to hire a restaurant," the man in his thirties said with a sneer.

In any case, he wanted to treat the benefactor to a meal to show his gratitude. This is a tradition in their hometown, and it is what he has always insisted on.

Slightly stunned, Jiang Chen immediately laughed and said.

"No problem!"

At this time, he suddenly noticed that the waist of this down-and-out man straightened up again.

It's like getting a new lease on life. (To be continued.) )
