Chapter 17: Summer Vacation 'A World for Two'

Since 1995, information technology and the Internet have developed rapidly. Most listed companies have their own public websites for publicity. In the beginning, people only obtained information from the Internet, but gradually, it became a two-way communication with the Internet as the medium, that is, the formation of e-commerce.

Major website companies began to rise from this time, setting off an Internet boom. As long as you have a computer, you can contact all over the world, the cost is very low, but you can create more profits.

In this way, tech and internet stocks have been given the green light all the way to the stock market, with โ–กโ–ก years of growth compared to other areas in the same period.

With the increasing maturity of the Internet, a large number of website companies have the same business plan in the same field, but there will only be one winner in each section, and even only one company in several sectors, so most companies with the same business plan will fail. This is the monopoly of network effects.

A company failure means bankruptcy, and bankruptcy means a stock limit.

And in the process, venture capitalists have once again acted as catalysts. At a time when technology online stocks were rising sharply, the hype for such stocks was increased, leading many Internet companies to be overvalued, forming a dot-com bubble and accelerating the company's bankruptcy.

In 99, the 'Yi'an Technology Incident', which shocked the domestic stock market, was a typical example of the technology network bubble. In just 70 days, it broke through the 100 yuan mark from about 26 yuan.

The second-largest telephone company in the United States also filed for bankruptcy liquidation just a few days later due to the dot-com bubble, and it became the largest liquidation in the history of the United States.

"What do you think?" Cheng Lele wrote an analysis report for this and handed it to Huo Yao.

Although Huo Yao does not have Cheng Lele's major, his knowledge in this area has been involved before. Especially since he opened the company with Cheng Lele, the man's self-esteem is strange, and he has to teach himself for a while every night, "The recent news has praised technology stocks as a flower, but as long as people who have studied economics know that they have long exceeded the market price." โ€

"After all, the Internet is the future of media, and there are always companies that stand out from it. As long as we own one percent of the shares, when they grow, we are the majority shareholders. Cheng Lele pointed to several companies on the article...... In the future, their market share is irreplaceable.

Huo Yao's pupils shrank, and Baidu He, who was also the company that his father wanted to invest in, hid his surprised look, and asked lightly: "But these companies you said are all newly established, I don't think there is any difference from others." โ€

"And it is the first of its kind to enter the market, and the number of users has been ranked first, and the development has been stable in recent years. Google, โ–กโ–ก, and Baidu are all original shares, and there has been no public offering until now, so the management structure within the company will not be too complicated. โ€

In fact, Cheng Lele really doesn't know how to explain it, these words are completely based on the development of these companies in the previous life, and they are the hindsight.

Don't look at Cheng Lele's last life to study financial engineering, the difference between finance and financial engineering is big, finance may analyze the company at a macro level, but financial engineering is the mathematical problem of various models.

According to Cheng Lele's model, various parameters are set to calculate Google's total in ten years, and the conclusion is that Google will be drowned in the sea of the Internet. But in reality, Google's annual revenue will grow at a rate of 50% in the future, and there is no inflation, and there will be 100 billion dollars in assets in the next ten years, which makes the historical numbers of each parameter in the model unreliable.

Huo Yao's question was also on Google, frowning, "It doesn't look any different from the others?" โ€

Cheng Lele finished the prepared words and pursed his lips, "Am I not right?" โ€

"Makes sense," Huo Yao paused, softening his negative tone, "It's just a bit far-fetched, and for your reason, we can find a push in Silicon Valley." โ€

"I'm sure Google is fine." Cheng Lele is a bit of a cheater at this time, she has no reason, she wants to invest. Cheng Lele seemed to see his billions of dollars and said goodbye to her like this.

Huo Yao pulled Cheng Lele back to the chair and sat down, "I haven't finished yet." Since we all think it's a dot-com bubble now, we can wait for the dot-com bubble to end and then look at it, if Google hasn't gone out of business by then, can we invest? โ€

Cheng Lele snorted and said in disbelief: "You say it again, I'm going to record it for you." โ€

Huo Yao reluctantly patted her head with Wen Jiร n and went downstairs.

As the sun sets in the west, the golden afterglow shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the lobby, which is gentle and tranquil.

Cheng Lele was lying in front of the marble bar, looking at Huo Yao in surprise, he was facing Cheng Lele sideways, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables and cooking vegetables, and his movements were incredible.

"You cook?!"

"What's surprising, this house hasn't been occupied for months, and you think there's someone to cook for you, except for the cleaning." Huo Yao said, but the knife in his hand did not stop.

"I mean you know how to cook?"

"I live alone in City B." Huo Yao was sent to the mainland by his father to exercise, although he could go to the hotel to eat, but he would always get tired of eating.

Cheng Lele expressed his suspicion that Huo Yao, the delicate ivory tower prince, was holding on, "This dish is ......"

"I asked the person in charge of the house to buy it yesterday, so feel free to eat it."

Cheng Lele received a look from Huo Yao, so he quickly covered his mouth and comforted himself in his heart: If you don't eat cleanly, you won't get sick......

Some of Huo Yao's ulterior little ideas slowly grew before the two of them came to Hong Kong, and Huo Xuefei, who came back together, rushed to his parents for a vacation, and the chef naturally didn't have to stay in the house.

Do-it-yourself, Cheng Lele has been in China for so many years, and he is a little chef. Roll up your sleeves and come into the kitchen, "I'll cook too, I'll help you out, right?" โ€

"Don't come in." Huo Yao said vigilantly.

Cheng Lele glanced at the kitchen, "How many dishes are you going to cook?" โ€

"Three dishes and one soup...... Don't move. Huo Yao was washing the vegetables here, and looking at Cheng Lele over there.

"You cook four dishes by yourself?" If Huo Yao didn't cook often, three or four hours would be possible.

Huo Yao thought about it, it's not too early, "Then you have washed the vegetables." โ€

"Don't worry! I'm a journeyman. Cheng Lele turned around and waved his kitchen knife at Huo Yao.

"You come here to wash the vegetables, you take the knife off!" Huo Yao gradually raised his voice.

Because Cheng Lele turned around too quickly, another knife on the cutting board was hung up by her clothes, and the blade of the kitchen knife fell straight on Cheng Lele's instep wearing slippers, "Ah-"

This sound was tragic, and Huo Yao hurriedly rushed over.

"Don't move, don't move... Slow down, slow down..."Huo Yao soothed Cheng Lele in his mouth, and carefully picked up the knife with his hand, "Gently take out your feet, gently..."

Cheng Lele was stunned, the kitchen knife pierced the slippers and cut a long cut on her instep, and the blood oozing out stained the slippers and the blade.

Huo Yao's heart trembled, but his mouth was unforgiving, "I told you not to come in, it's so dangerous, if the knife is forward, your toes can be broken......" Huo Yao was by no means scaring her.

Cheng Lele was also afraid, but fortunately there were slippers in the way, she gritted her teeth and said calmly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's no big deal, just wrap it up." โ€

Hearing this, Huo Yao only felt that Cheng Lele didn't care for himself, and his tone was even more stern, "It's not a big deal?" Such a deep wound is going to leave a scar, and you won't wear sandals in the future. โ€

Cheng Lele was in pain, and when he heard Huo Yao say this, he felt even more irritable, "You don't care about me!" โ€

Huo Yao's body stiffened and he stopped talking. He wiped the blood off his feet with a napkin in his hand, and coldly commanded, "Hold down." โ€

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Cheng Lele put the paper next to Huo Yao's hand and blocked the paper in the bleeding place.

Huo Yao hugged Cheng Lele on the sofa, took the first aid kit, and disinfected the surroundings with alcohol.

"Shhhh

Huo Yao's hand paused, and his movements became lighter, blowing on the wound from time to time to relieve the pain. Next, sprinkle with the powder and wrap the entire instep with gauze.

"Okay, that's it, thank you." Cheng Lele looked at Huo Yao's face and whispered. In fact, Huo Yao was very good to her, especially when Cheng Mu was away, just like Cheng Mu.

Huo Yao looked at Cheng Lele's cautious appearance, he was really not qualified to care, sighed, and put on a mocking smile: "Now I will rest assured, you will not enter the kitchen again." โ€

"The person who gets hurt the most in the kitchen is the chef!" Cheng Lele argued.

Huo Yao nodded perfunctorily and entered the kitchen.

Cheng Lele sat on the sofa watching TV, and his body changed from vertical to horizontal after a while, and he fell asleep.

I didn't have a dream, and when I woke up, I felt that the first floor was empty. Cheng Lele rubbed his eyes, leaned against the wall and came to the kitchen, the meal was already on the dining table, and Huo Yao was sitting on the bar stool reading a book.

Thick and straight sword eyebrows, thin lips, angular and cold face, bangs scattered in front of the forehead, looking refreshing and handsome. Not to mention the temperament, the simple style of T-shirt and shorts is worn on Huo Yao, Cheng Lele feels unique. If it weren't for the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, Cheng Lele really thought that Huo Yao had picked up the stall goods from somewhere.

"Awake?" Huo Yao poured a glass of water for Cheng Lele.

"Well, what time is it, why didn't you call me?"

"I want you to sleep a little longer, I've just done that." Huo Yao looked at Cheng Lele's feet, frowned, and said, "I'll bring you a wheelchair tomorrow, right?" โ€

"No, I'm not crippled." With that, Cheng Lele jumped into the restaurant.

"Be careful...... Huo Yao didn't want to be as fierce as before, so he could only follow Cheng Lele to protect him, "It's too inconvenient for you to do this." โ€

On the table, steamed fish, minced meat and tofu, garlic kale, and tomatoes, eggs, and spinach soup.

It looked pretty good, Cheng Lele scooped up a spoonful of soup and tasted it with bated breath.

"Well... It's delicious! It's really delicious! Cheng Lele looked up from the bowl and looked at Huo Yao with shining eyes. Huo Yao even made his movements pleasing to the eye when eating, and etiquette was already engraved in his bones. From this point of view, Huo Yao can really go to the battlefield and the kitchen, Cheng Lele is stunned when he is not careful.

"What's wrong?" Huo Yao was puzzled.

Cheng Lele shook her head violently, lowered her head and picked up the rice, what was she thinking just now.
