Chapter 188: The Coming Storm (End)

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

This should be a good day, but for Li Jiaming, who has just been nicknamed the 'King of Big Talk' on the Internet, it is definitely not a good day, because his graduation thesis was beaten back by his tutor for a simple reason - political incorrectness.

The central government has already established real estate as a pillar industry of the state, so how can it use Hong Kong's economy as a blueprint to reveal the harm of real estate and finance to the real economy? What is even worse is that the paper compares the development of Hong Kong and Singapore on the basis of detailed data, and comes to a conclusion: An economy supported by finance and real estate alone is dangerous.

Does that make sense?

It makes sense that Singapore, the land of small hills, has world-renowned brands such as Tiger Beer, DBS Bank, Singapore Airlines, Banyan Tree Hotel, Tiger Balm and so on, while Hong Kong only has real estate and finance. After the financial turmoil of '97, Singapore was able to recover quickly and its development momentum was booming, while Hong Kong relied on a large number of state-owned enterprises to go public in Hong Kong for direct blood transfusion.

Is that correct?

Not true, because politics is not right, so it is not true.

It doesn't matter, if you fight back, you will fight back, and you have to bow your head under the low eaves. Then take out the paper on the development of the cultural industry, change it and hand it in, which made Mr. Xiao full of praise and was so satisfied that he let his thesis be defended once.

But the paper on real estate and finance was 'inadvertently' seen by Chen Tong, and the editor-in-chief of SOHU ran to SOHU Real Estate to find Li Jiaming to ask for an appointment. As a real news person, Chen Tong of course cares about housing prices, three years ago, the housing prices in the capital were less than 1,000 yuan, and now they are 3,000. Three years ago, ordinary people could buy one square meter with a month's salary, but now it takes three months to buy one square meter. If this continues, how will you live and work in peace and contentment in the future?

And to control housing prices, we can't just follow the set of low-rent housing and affordable housing in the newspapers, which can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and will bring new power to rent,*. The solution given in the paper is very good and in line with the laws of the market, that is, the government should open up the supply of residential land and appropriately reduce commercial land, and not let land become a scarce resource.

Of course, there are still political sensitivities for people who can be editors-in-chief, and Chen Tong is ready to ask Li Jiaming to write a series of review articles based on his thesis and hang it on BBS.

"I'm not interested, you can just write it yourself. ”

"Can this paper be pasted?"

This time must be mastered, and the hospital must not make an excuse to order him to return to school for full attendance. Lao Xiao is too keen on fame and fortune, don't look at himself doing a good job, if you really offend him, you will definitely not be soft.

"After graduation, you look at it. ”

"Well, that's safe. ”

After sending Chen Tong away, Uncle Lianglang discussed the issue of funds again, SOHU Real Estate has expanded too much, even if there is a cash cow of 'E Times Chain Internet Cafe', the capital chain is still tight. If he can negotiate with Yahoo and get the cash before the stock market crash, Li Jiaming has a way to transfer the money back to China for his brother-in-law and eldest sister to use. But if you go back to the word, not only is Li Jiaming powerless, but he may have to withdraw funds from Sohu Real Estate, then this fun will be great.

There is a way, but listing a company with amazing development momentum so early is tantamount to giving money to others, even if Deng Hao agrees, Li Jiaming can't open his mouth. Although this company has a little bit of its own light, it is also the eldest sister and brother-in-law who do it single-handedly, why sacrifice their careers to fulfill themselves?

After a little hesitation, Deng Hao suggested: "Jiaming, why don't we go public?"

These words are very warm, but the tone is false, Li Jiaming's heart darkened, and then he was relieved. The eldest brother-in-law treats himself very well, and he can't ask others to help him selflessly forever.

Almost subconsciously, Li Jiaming shook his head and said: "No, it's too risky to engage in a mobile phone, and if it fails, it's not a little money."

Brother-in-law, now that our career has become bigger, we can't be like before, and gamble at every turn. Besides, I deliberately kept more than 200 million, which should be able to last for a long time, as long as better chips and batteries can appear, the sales of iPod will definitely be higher. ”

That's fine, it costs more than a billion dollars to develop a mobile phone, and the eldest brother-in-law is dizzy when he hears it. If this happens, it's better to say, if it fails, tens of billions of RMB will be lost, it is better to build a house and sell it for money.

More than a billion is not much, and the research and development of a chip alone is estimated to cost hundreds of millions, and it may not be successful. Alas, half a step ahead is a genius, and one step ahead is a madman, but if you have to compete with a monster like Apple and a behemoth like Samsung, how can you succeed if you don't turn yourself into a madman?

He didn't understand this, and his eldest brother-in-law, who was stuffy in real estate, didn't want to understand it, but he curiously asked if HH Company was really worth more than 10 billion US dollars? If the business was negotiated, SOHU Real Estate would not have to worry about funds.

"In the long run, it's definitely more than that, but the accounts can't be counted like that. It is estimated that more than 10 billion, that is, the money earned in the past few years is cashed out at one time, who makes us short of cash. ”

Yes, what businessman does not use his funds to the limit? Only when Li Jiaming knew that a stock market crash would occur, he left nearly $200 million to prepare for the shortage.

"According to you, if the lock-up period ends and the stock market is fine, will all your SOHU shares be cashed out?"

Li Jiaming never thought that SOHU's market value would rush so high, and he also thought that employees would not easily sell their stocks, but after experiencing the wave of resignations, he knew that their stocks would definitely be sold as soon as the lock-up period arrived. Even if there are professional traders to operate for them, more than ten or two billion stocks will be sold, and it is impossible for the stock price to fall.

If you smash your billions of stocks again, there may be some days of stock market crashes, and you will be smashed by billions of stocks in advance. The current stock market is like the scene before an avalanche, the slightest wind and grass is an avalanche.

After explaining the reason, Li Jiaming suddenly reacted, would the eldest brother-in-law, who has become a super-rich man, not understand this?

NetEase reopened, on the bright side is Zeng Qiang and Ding Lei, and there is still Chen Dong hidden in the back, but their soft and hard power will not make them afraid of three points? By the way, the last time Zhong Chaocheng came to him, he also made it clear that his eldest brother-in-law was their major shareholder.

Alas, it has finally come to the step of 'settling accounts', and Li Jiaming, who has been prepared for a long time, is still bitter and unspeakable, but explains and points with a smile on his face. The high place is unbearable, and I finally taste it.

"Brother-in-law, it's only a matter of time before the bubble bursts, but our population is too big and the market is too big for the Sohu family to eat, and the government can't allow the Sohu family to dominate. It will be a little more difficult for NetEase to go public, but after two or three years, it should be no problem with their foundation.

Don't look at China.com and 5 are all beautiful now, in fact, they are all congenitally deficient.

Ye Keyong of China.com is good at capital operation, and will not have the patience to do practical things; Tom's pedigree is wrong, and it is impossible to get the support of the government; FM365 is not a solid foundation, Lenovo's main business is PC and pays attention to the real economy, if there is no improvement in two or three years after the bubble bursts, the personality of Mr. Liu is likely to give up and turn to other physical products. Their generation has the feelings of rejuvenating the country through industry, and at their age, it is difficult to beat the word feelings.

As for fast online shopping, I can't see it clearly, but e-commerce is the trend of the future. As long as we can survive this cold winter, and the country will open up finance sooner or later, the prospects are still promising. ”

Li Jiaming didn't guess wrong, Deng Hao did hide from his wife that he invested in NetEase and Extreme Speed, and he also knew that he couldn't hide his scary wife and brother, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw him pointing out like this. But he is also very helpless, the nominal vice chairman of SOHU is not really the vice chairman, and when the truth is revealed one day, how can he interact with the officials and give them the publicity opportunities they need?

Giving gifts and bribes is too risky, and it is even more risky to take refuge in political forces, and he has no choice but to do it. If NetEase can achieve half the size of today's SOHU, with his influence on NetEase, he can continue to get cheap land.

Yes, everyone has their own difficulties, Li Jiaming nodded silently and comforted: "It's okay, our career is bigger, we can't put our eggs in one basket." The cunning rabbit still has three nests, so we need to prepare some retreats. ”

But Li Jiaming is so generous, Deng Hao, who is a brother-in-law, is even more embarrassed, and he always feels sorry for his brother-in-law. Others call him the richest man, but he himself doesn't know how he made his fortune, and he became the vice chairman of SOHU by relying on his brother-in-law's relationship?

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? We are a family! It is unlikely that I will return to China, maybe I will be abroad in twenty or thirty years, and I don't want you and Mao Tong to support the affairs of the family?"

This is also true, my father and uncles are old, and the big dog is not that material, and the thin dog can't see it. The family's business, if you don't rely on Mao Tong and your eldest brother-in-law, who else can you rely on?

After discussing, the two had lunch, and Deng Hao hurriedly drove his wife and brother to the airport. After the dissertation defense, there is nothing to do in school, just waiting for graduation to get a degree certificate, graduation certificate, group photo, and casual dinner, but there are still a few months left, it is better to go to the United States to keep an eye on it!

got on the plane, and the sleepy Li Jiaming fell asleep with his head covered.

This time is too tiring, I have to work during the day, and at night I have to keep an eye on the US stock market and listen to Kyle's briefings, and even sleep can only be a needle. Fortunately, the situation is good, the Nasdaq has been rising, and there has been no skyrocketing. All stock markets are the same, and there will definitely be a surge before the crash, so as to facilitate the shipment of large institutions and market makers, and let those poor retail investors and small investment funds take over. Li Jiaming played with stocks in his previous life, and he knows too well the tricks of those black-hearted bookmakers and big financial institutions.
