Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 767
Not only did Xu Tongying send out the group as scheduled, but the number of people far exceeded the expectations of Lao Bai and others. There were nearly 30 people in the group.

Lao Bai asked Dong Qiangqiang whether to bring it or not, but he politely declined because he missed the university notice. One of them is the second time to fail a subject. Given that the exams of the Technical University of Munich have always been in hell mode, and if the same course fails three make-up exams, it will face the embarrassing situation of changing majors. Du Lan dare not take this last chance lightly. He declined Lao Bai's invitation and stayed in Munich to prepare for the exam and work part-time.In the end, it was Dong Qiangqiang who got in touch with Ding Haifeng in Göttingen, and Lao Bai finally gathered the "Dragon Balls", took Lei Lanting and Tong Lele on the journey, and met Lao Ding in Frankfurt.

Tong Lele will send travel photos at a fixed time every day, and Dong Qiangqiang will write a travel blog based on the content of the photos. Sometimes he will make up some unnecessary plots to describe the whole journey as thrilling and funny. Writing an article in two or three days can be regarded as a change of mind.

The growth of registered users of Lebai is still slow. From time to time, visitors will leave a few words in the forum. Dong Qiangqiang always answers the questions of netizens seriously.Occasionally, Lao Bai would use the ID of "little lion" to tease him, and he would pretend to reply.

In Dong Qiangqiang's impression, old people love to say a word: When people get older, time will pass faster and faster.

He didn't feel this at first, but when he arrived in Germany, he found that this statement is a truth that does not need to be proved by itself.In addition to the psychological effect, he felt that the fundamental reason for the rapid passage of time was that he was old and had no freshness in many things.

The days of waiting for the notice are boring. He completes the work at hand step by step every day, trying to pass the time with work.

After getting up in the morning, it is time to read newspapers.Because he no longer went to preparatory classes, he was worried that his hearing would deteriorate. He found a website broadcasting European financial news on the Internet, insisted on grinding his ears for 30 minutes to an hour every day, and then searched for all US stock listings that had used Andersen’s audit or consulting services. company.

In the afternoon, he usually reads the short-selling report on the "Stock Lemon" website, and then compares the parts in the report that he does not understand, and then checks the US accounting standards, and records the other party's "picking" ideas and key points. Usually, after reading 3-4 reports , he would put down the report, or go to Le Bai's website to fill in the comments, or talk to Du Lan on the phone for a few minutes, or send Cicada's short-selling report to more investment institutions according to Duanmu's request.

Since the software he customized before could not automatically search for the audit companies of listed companies, he could only manually search for the financial reports of listed companies in the US stock market, and then check whether the audit reports of these companies were made by Arthur Andersen.The whole process does not contain any technical content, that is, it takes time to work hard.

Considering the importance of the Nasdaq market and its astonishing decline in the past two years, Dong Qiangqiang prioritized listing companies on Nasdaq.

Before that, Qianmu had agreed that he should find an intern to help him complete part of the work. He originally planned to find Lu Wei and Lei Lanting to do it, but Lei Lanting left with Lao Bai, and Lu Wei had no news. As a last resort, Dong Qiangqiang had to find Dong Yiqing He and Wang Shunan, and Dong Yiqing asked Dong Yiqing to help contact 3 Chinese students studying in Han University. There were enough 5 people, and the work progress was not too far behind.

Although there are enough interns, the content of the internship has been summarized by Dong Qiangqiang into the simplest foolish steps: 1. Find a listed company on NASDAQ. 2. Download the financial annual report from its official website. 3. Determine the name of the company's audit agency for the last three years. 3. If the other party has a financial fraud scandal, record the name of the company that has audited the company.In the past, there were an average of hundreds of financial frauds in the U.S. stock market every year. Andersen was not the only audit company that was exposed. Now that Andersen has gone bankrupt, listed companies can only choose new partners from the remaining large audit companies, but The other four companies are not Binghun Supo either. After all, there is no way to get your shoes wet when you often walk by the river, so Dong Qiangqiang wants to make a list of audit companies that have had financial problems as soon as possible.

But before the list was made, Dong Qiangqiang discovered several problems.

First of all, not everyone has enough financial knowledge. Leaving aside the initial hustle and bustle, the working status and results of the interns after simple training are not ideal.Secondly, the salary of 400 euros per person per month means that the interns do not work full-time for 8 hours a day, and the working time of each person is 3 hours (or less) per day.When combined with shorter hours and unskilled interns, poor job performance is a natural consequence.At the same time, the total cost of the five interns needs to be 5 Euros per month, which is not a small expense for Chuchan. Not to mention Duanmu, even Dong Qiangqiang will unconsciously expect that there will be more behind such efforts. much in return.However, a week has passed, and everyone has only found two listed companies that have used Andersen, and one of them has just declared bankruptcy at the end of July.

In addition, there is a very embarrassing problem in hiring acquaintances to work for me, that is, sometimes I need to put down my face to discuss some problems or point out some mistakes. However, Dong Qiangqiang has no management experience before, and his face is thin. In the end, he often points out the mistakes of others in person because of embarrassment. (especially Wang Shunan), but can only work overtime to re-do the things that the interns did not do well.

For the first time, he realized that in business, one should not just ask friends for help, even if it is only at the executive level, it is necessary to find professionals to do professional things.

But it's not all about him, and if their software had a good search function, maybe this problem wouldn't cause any trouble anymore.

In fact, he has posted the recruitment advertisement for programmers, not only online, but also in several places offline (mainly in university campuses), but a week has passed, and there are no applicants, and he has not received a resume or a consultation call .

He suspected that someone had torn up his recruitment advertisement, and went to several places where the advertisement was posted every day to check, but every time the advertisement was safe and sound, without any damage or disappearance.

Although Hans actively contacted him, the computer geek Gert Becht (suspected hacker) still didn't follow up.The matter of recruiting programmers just hangs there in vain, unable to advance.

In the end, Dong Qiangqiang even thought about going to a labor agency to find a programmer, but Duanmu rejected his suggestion on the grounds that the cost was too high.

Qu Shan made a special trip to call Dong Qiangqiang and told him that some preparatory students had already received notices of economics majors from East and South German universities. This made Dong Qiangqiang even more anxious. , but the university either replied to him to be patient and wait patiently, or told him that the notice had been sent.

Dong Qiangqiang didn't receive a letter, Wang Shunan was not as lucky as him.

By the end of the second week of August, she had received four rejection letters.The content is also the same: her grades are not good enough.

In other words, only the best of the best are required to study medicine in Germany.

Wang Shunan looked fine, but Dong Qiangqiang suspected that she was holding back her grief.

After the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, executives of US listed companies were required to take an oath to the Act, promising that the financial information submitted by the company they served to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was true and reliable, without any Fraud.

Compared with Vivendi's second-quarter report, which has been called out for a long time, Southern Healthcare, which is in the active warehouse of Cicada, released its second-quarter report as scheduled. significantly reduce.However, according to Duanmu Research, it has been more than half a year since the U.S. elderly medical insurance premium adjustment policy was promulgated. At this time, talking about the matter gives people a feeling of making a fuss, more like an excuse to cover up the decline of its business.And no matter how you analyze it, it is definitely not good for investors to take the initiative to be bearish on the future market, so it is not surprising that Southern Healthcare's stock price fell accordingly.

Duanmu previously bet 10 euros on the put option of Southern Healthcare, second only to Vivendi, but he has not waited for it to fall.

So far, all listed companies that were historical clients of Andersen in the first phase of Cicada’s investment have not been spared, and all of them have exploded.Except for the put options of American Waste Management Company and United Capital Investment Corporation, there is no movement, the total book profit of other put options is nearly 45 euros.As the U.S. stock market continued to decline, both men felt that the burden was less heavy on their shoulders.

But before Dong Qiangqiang had time to be happy for too long, he received notices from the University of Mannheim, the University of Frankfurt and the University of Bonn at the same time on a sunny day.

He opened the letter excitedly, but was stunned to read the familiar words of rejection.

Dong Qiangqiang was stunned by the rejection letter like a hammer. He couldn't figure it out anyway. With a score of 1.7, he would not be able to apply for a major.

Reluctantly, he called the said school again, but the German politely turned him down again.

Only then did Dong Qiangqiang understand Wang Shunan's state of mind and the absurdity of persuading Wang Shunan at that time. He suddenly became uninterested in everything. He neither wanted to touch the short-selling report nor look at the stock price, nor was he in the mood to go to the wild boar forest to catch pigs or to relax in Wilhelmshaven. .

Dong Qiangqiang, who was so self-sufficient, just disappeared.

Du Lan knew that he was high-spirited and worried that he would not be able to accept such a blow, so he could only persuade him with good words. In the end, in order to enlighten him, he recommended the Hong Kong drama "Looking for the Qin" to him.

For three days in a row, Dong Qiangqiang stayed on the bed with his computer and watched the drama day and night. Looking at the heroic Gu Tianle on TV, he felt like a pool of stagnant water, like a piece of mud, which was about to stink completely.

He found the novel "Looking for the Qin Dynasty" on the Internet, and read it like a fascination, forgetting to sleep and eat.

Just when he finally finished reading the novel, Lu Shan arrived in Germany.
