Chapter 193: Quite a bastard
Whether you admit it or not, in today's world, as long as the United States coughs, the whole world will catch a cold.
The Nasdaq fell again, and after falling 900 points last week, it opened Monday with a 25-point decline. The events on the other side of the ocean have made Zhongguancun nervous, especially those small companies that do portal websites and e-commerce, and the SOHU Building, which gathers many small Internet companies, is the hardest hit area.
The market value of 15.815 billion US dollars fell to 14.13 billion in a week, and today it is less than 0.Many former employees of SOHU or veterans who have not left the building are in a hurry, and everyone has watched their book wealth shrink rapidly.
There is nothing to be done, even Zhang Zhaoyang and Zhao Shiqing, the chairman and CEO of SOHU, are anxious, and they are still mentally prepared. The second child had already said privately that this was a huge bubble, so despite Frank's opposition, he insisted that SOHU go public as quickly as possible last year. Unfortunately, more than 20 days before the company's stock lockdown, the bubble burst to death.
What should I do? If I fall like this, when will it be a head?
The treacherous and slippery Zhang Zhaoyang can still pretend to be light-hearted, and he also asks Zhao Shiqing to pretend to stabilize those panicked employees.
But who is not in a hurry, as long as you compare the domestic stock market crash in the past few years, everyone knows that this fall is a fall, a fall, a fall, and it will not stop until it can not fall!
When is the head?
When SOHU launched the IPO, after Li Jiaming's crow mouth was drunk, he swore that SOHU would have a market value of two or three billion at most, and if he didn't take advantage of the short circuit in the brains of Americans to circle money, wouldn't he be a fool?
Damn, that Wang Ba/egg is ruthless enough, and he can cash out 15% of the stock in one hand. If there was no agreement in advance, then Wang Ba/Dan would have to transfer his shares to a few old brothers, and the NASDAQ would not allow him to cash out all of them, and that bastard might be able to sell them all and wait until the stock market crash to buy them back, and shear the wool back for the American people.
"Brother Yang, I really want to strangle that bastard now!"
Everyone has broken their mouths, except for a few old brothers, no one believes him, can it be about other people's affairs?
Zhang Zhaoyang, who has already figured it out, doesn't have time to talk nonsense with this guy, let alone forget the business - he has to buy the shares of those people who are cranky when they have money, and the company will really have long-term stability, and the company has more than 600 million US dollars on its books just for this.
"Now that the stock market has fallen like this, it is impossible for the company to operate for everyone in a unified manner, and in the end it will be thankless. Tell everyone that the shares will be returned to everyone, and everyone can decide to cash out or continue to hold them. ”
Zhao Shiqing is anxious, and his brain is not confused. Everyone has a herd mentality, and if the stocks that are handed over to the trader for unified operation are returned to everyone, and everyone is allowed to operate freely, they will definitely be sold as soon as possible.
"Brother Yang?"
Zhang Zhaoyang sneered, "You're smart?"
Zhao Shiqing, who wanted to persuade him, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt cold all over his body, Li Jiaming's bastard cashed out 15% of the stocks, and still held 32.4% of the shares, plus 45% of Boss Zhang. If there is a sudden sell-off of 20%, coupled with the sell-off by employees, I am afraid that no one will dare to take over at all, and SOHU will instantly fall into a junk stock. Then, then, Li Jiaming's bastard repurchased again, one in and one out, that one.
That Wang Ba / egg is very yin, obviously the largest shareholder of the company, but it holds shares in the name of the investment company, and the company is controlled by an offshore company, making the equity structure like a labyrinth. If he joins forces with Boss Zhang to make a game, those old brothers who have left their jobs and American shareholders will be killed by them.
No, no, that's a standard financial crime, how could Li Jiaming do such a? Really treat the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as if it didn't exist?
If this kind of thing is exposed, not to mention that the SEC will trouble them, SOHU will fall apart first. Even if some backbones remain, they will inevitably leave Germany, and what about individuals holding 100% of the shares?
But if the employees sell their stocks and turn the stocks into junk stocks, then it has nothing to do with anyone, and they can't blame him for being late with Lao Zhang, right? Today, Zhang Zhaoyang called Zhao Shiqing over to talk, that is, to get to the bottom in disguise, don't pit your CEO.
All the fucking/fucking bunch of bastards/eggs!
No wonder Senior Wang is so capable, and he is willing to be Li Jiaming's deputy to play with these eggs, and if you are not careful, you have to let these eggs play to death!
Don't say that Zhao Shiqing thinks that Li Jiaming is like a king, even Li Jiaming himself thinks that he is sometimes quite a king. For example, Ruan Zhi is his classmate and confidant, but when her enemy finds him and understands his intentions, he immediately puts that little festival behind him, and he can talk happily.
"Don't say it, in fact, your kid is quite good, at least you didn't let Ruan Zhi go into debt. I have a bastard friend whose girlfriend provides him with education and a living, and immediately dumps him after he gets rich, without even compensation.
Let me also explain, I am not interested in your private life. They are all adults, and everyone is responsible for their own affairs, and there is still a law if they can't handle it. I beat you that day purely because you almost killed a bunch of us. Think about it, if Ruan Zhi really had an accident last time, what would you let us do, how would we face her parents? She is young, she has never mixed in society, she is not sensible, you have graduated from college, and you have come to the United States to stay, so you are so ignorant?"
In a few words, Li Jiaming revealed the last beating of people, and made the family ashamed, so he picked up the other party's business plan and handed it to Yang Zhiyuan, who asked him to drink coffee.
"Brother Zhiyuan, I don't understand technical things, can you help me take a look?"
"OK", Yang Zhiyuan, who listened to a rough idea, glanced at it a few times, thought about it carefully, and said without hesitation: "Mr. Zhao, with all due respect, it is difficult for you to find venture capital for this project." ”
Zhao Le is indeed cornered, even if he tries his best to hide it, Li Jiaming can see it from his eyes. Yang Zhiyuan has been a rich man for several years, and he has long forgotten the taste of poverty, but Li Jiaming mixes with the employees in the company every day and knows the embarrassment of ordinary people. The stock market crash began, how many people's stocks were trapped, and no one took over if they wanted to cut the meat? It is estimated that this kid has found a lot of venture capital, but none of them have been negotiated, so he came to his own head.
At present, cash is king, who is not pinching cash to prepare for the shortage?
"I, this project was funded by my father-in-law, and as soon as the stock market fell, his company had some problems. I've talked to other venture capital firms, and they all feel that the technology is not widely used, and even if it succeeds, none of them will have customer needs. ”
Hehe, when looking for venture capital, the first thing is to tell a good story. Inventors can't think of a use, and it's not the hottest Internet technology, how can it impress those venture capitalists?
"Brother Zhiyuan, is there a technical problem?"
This miniature electronic compass technology seems to have little market prospects, and can be used in GPS navigation at most, but the vehicle moves fast enough to not worry about losing its direction at all. As for large ships and the like, they will only use small electronic compasses with more mature technology and more reliable performance, and they do not lack this space.
"Technically, it's fine, but it doesn't seem to be very useful. It's impossible for ordinary people to walk or something like that with a GPS navigator in their hands, right?"
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. Li Jiaming didn't expect that the miniature electronic compass technology that made Kyle nerve-wracking would be automatically sent to the door in such a way.
"That's stupid, any technology has a future, at most I didn't think of it at the moment. ”
"Then you invest!"
Casting a ghost, Li Jiaming pretended to look at the plan again, and said: "Zhao Le, this is not Internet technology but traditional electronic technology, which requires a lot of manpower and financial investment, and it may not be successful." It is impossible for you to set up your own company, we can only buy this patent, and then hand it over to you to form a team to develop and see if it can be used in future electronic products, can you understand?"
The market situation is so bad, thank God for being able to sell the patent, and the worried Zhao Le hurriedly said: "Understand, how to calculate the salary?"
Hey, this kid hasn't been so snobbish before, is there really something unspeakable?
"I don't know, you go to HH Company to talk to Jiang Yu, he is also an alumnus of your Tsinghua University, as long as he recognizes this patent and your research level, there should be no problem. Of course, the current downturn in the stock market will definitely cause a ripple effect, and your salary will also be affected. If you can pass his interview, it is estimated that the annual salary of seventy or eighty thousand dollars is still no problem. ”
The winter of the industry is coming, the salary will definitely dive, the annual salary of seventy or eighty thousand is not low, Zhao Le, who was overwhelmed by the money, hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you!
Looking at this, the economic situation is very embarrassing, Li Jiaming made a phone call back to the company, and said with a smile: "You go to the company for an interview first, and after passing, you will advance half a year's salary, and you have to talk to the people in the company about the patent fee, I am not very familiar with this work." ”
"Thank you, thank you", Zhao Le bowed slightly, picked up his briefcase and hurried away.
Seeing this handsome guy walk away, Yang Zhiyuan suddenly said: "Jiaming, people should have encountered a hurdle that they can't get over, so they can help." ”
Pretend to be a saint, right? Li Jiaming said angrily: "Yang Dasheng, Lao Tzu has also encountered a hurdle that he can't overcome." Why don't you help Lao Tzu too?"
"Okay, but you can't be too dark!"
Damn, can this be called black? The valuation of HH Company, which has unlimited market prospects, is only 12 billion, and Yahoo has billions of dollars in cash in its hands, so it is so difficult to squeeze more than 2 billion? Not to mention that they still promised to do a good thing, but when they saw that AOL began to shrink, they wanted to fiercely lower the price, and the price reduction did not achieve a shot and two shots. Anyway, it won't be long before there is a lot of carrion in the stock market, enough for their vultures to have a full meal, and I hope they can be killed.
"Break your word, don't make those broken excuses. You didn't lose money, and you made six or seven billion yuan last year, right? It's just that you're watching the stock market slump and want to use cash to make a profit!"
Fiercely despised Yang Zhiyuan, who broke his promise, Li Jiaming glanced at the time on his watch, and forcibly dragged this guy who didn't count to go to Larry's board of directors.
When talking to Lao Tzu, you should fart, there is a reason to let it go so easily?
