Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 4
After a while, the atmosphere was in place, and people had reached the third floor.

Fang Zhuo said: "The Internet bubble in the United States has affected too much this time, including the AOL we talked about just now. In addition to providing Internet access, other major e-mails, browsers, and instant messaging are facing competition from emerging companies. I’m afraid there will be a lot of losses in two or three years.”

Chen Shuhu didn't understand, so he could only listen and wonder what the aroma of a cigar was.

"Last year, the United States had low interest rates, the Internet was an emerging economy, and liquidity poured into Internet companies." Fang Zhuo said slowly, "This has had an effect, the stock market has risen, corporate revenue has increased, and consumption has grown. . Those who are engaged in the Internet are more willing to take this opportunity to tell stories with investors, which creates a cycle."

Fang Zhuo sneered: "Then, those investors, analysts, institutional investors, and venture capital banks all went crazy, and they all preached the value of the Internet, and let the leeks enter the market quickly. This year, the Federal Reserve began to raise interest rates."

Although Chen Shuhu is the leader of a state-owned enterprise, he has never seen the country across the ocean from such a perspective over the years, and there are no similar remarks in the news.

Although it was only two short paragraphs, he seemed to have witnessed a closed-loop market phenomenon.

The originally interested mood immediately became surging.

"Raising interest rates? Will liquidity weaken? Is there a loophole in the cycle?" Chen Shuhu asked thoughtfully.

Fang Zhuo gave him an unexpected look, which made Chen Shuhu a little satisfied.

"Yes, cash flow is reduced, executives are cashing out, stock prices are falling, investment risks are rising, secondary market financing has fallen, confidence has decreased, stocks have been sold, and the market has run."

"Bubble burst, Boom!"

Fang Zhuo made a blooming gesture with his right hand in the air, shook his head and said, "Many people have suffered heavy losses. People jump off buildings on Wall Street every day."

He said this, as if he had lost the mood to smoke a cigar, and cut off a section of the ashes and put it on the newspaper.

Chen Shuhu stopped for ten seconds before cutting out the cigar.

"Brother Chen, the gadgets are here for you." Fang Zhuo put the delicate lighter in front of Chen Shuhu. It was the most genuine thing on his body, a Zippo windproof lighter.

"Sure, it's pretty good." Chen Shuhu didn't refuse.

"It still has history on it. A friend gave it a few. He said it was something from the Second World War. Now, you see, it is very durable." Fang Zhuo smiled and said nonsense.

Chen Shuhu was not too surprised.

The image has been established, it is a bit exaggerated, but it is enough to bully people now. In terms of "exaggeration and talk", the levels of the two are different.

Fang Zhuo began to play a little more relaxed, and he was still talking about foreign stock markets that were far away from the domestic situation.

Chen Shuhu was fascinated by what he heard, and some of the inside stories that have no channel to know now are quite shocking.

Time passed slowly, and the two chatted very speculatively.

At this time, there was a burst of cheers in the exchange, the number on the screen jumped to 1900, and A shares hit a new high.

Both of them looked up at this scene.

Chen Shuhu's mind somehow returned to his work.

He sighed at Fang Zhuo for a few words about domestic stocks and asked, "Where is Xiao Wan staying tonight? Do you want to have dinner with your family tonight? Since you called me Brother Chen, you have to manage a meal."

"They're all in Shencheng. I have a distant elder here. He's doing some business. I'm here to see you first. I'll talk about family affairs this time. Brother Chen, next time." Fang Zhuo looked like Tan Xing Exhausted.

Shencheng is an important place to open up, and the foreign businessmen there are not comparable to Luzhou. Chen Shuhu's heart beats, and he feels that Xiao Wan is a little younger.

"I won't wait for the market to close. Brother Chen, goodbye." Fang Zhuo smiled and got up.

Chen Shuhu also got up, nodded but didn't hold back. Xiao Wan's parents are not in Luzhou. Today, you can leave a business card: "Okay, come here more when you have time, I often spend time in the exchange."

At this moment, the aunt at the door suddenly came over and shouted: "Hey, hey, what's going on? Is this newspaper for you to put cigarette ashes? You can't be so bad for free!"

But it was Fang Zhuo who put the ashes on the newspaper when he was smoking a cigar.

All eyes in the hall swept over.

Fang Zhuo was overjoyed, and apologetic on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

He took out his wallet from his pocket and pulled out a green bill: "Eldest sister, trouble, trouble, you can buy a few more copies and put them here."

The aunt took the banknote suspiciously and looked left and right at the light.

Chen Shuhu opened his mouth and said, "It's the US dollar, and the gold is precious. Keep it."

He suddenly changed his mind: "Xiao Wan, let's go, I'll see you off. Where are you going now?"

"Today at the Changjiang Hotel." Fang Zhuo replied.

Changjiang Hotel is the most famous hotel in Luzhou, which integrates food and accommodation.

Chen Shuhu nodded and smiled slightly: "It's quite a coincidence, it just so happens that there will be a manufacturer's reception in the city the day after tomorrow at the Changjiang Hotel. Do you have time, Xiao Wan? That counts as your brother Chen borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, so please have a meal."

Hey, it's much better than having another adventurous encounter at the Changjiang Hotel.

Fang Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, he was a Fang with the surname of Fang Zhengbu, and he was not so good at deceiving and fooling.

He wondered: "I'm not a manufacturer either."

"What's the matter? Let's take a look at the experience of our inland cities. If you want me to say, you people who come back to invest from abroad can't always stare at the coast." Chen Shuhu revealed his bottom and said with great grace, "Our Luzhou people The investment policy is very good.”

Fang Zhuo pretended to stare at Chen Shuhu thoughtfully, and said, "It seems that Brother Chen's business scope is quite broad."

Chen Shuhu walked out of the exchange and laughed loudly: "I won't send you off today, the unit is nervous about using the car, see you the day after tomorrow."

Fang Zhuo nodded in response.

It was already a little dark.

Just as Chen Shuhu was about to turn back to his work unit, he suddenly stopped and turned around and asked, "Xiao Wan, I want to ask you something."

"Brother Chen, say it."

"I heard people say that the air in foreign countries smells sweet, is that true?" Chen Shuhu asked seriously.

Fang Zhuo smiled, thinking that the man in front of him was joking, but he looked very serious, this, this... this magical era...

Seeing that "Xiao Wan"'s face was not quite right, Chen Shuhu hurriedly added: "It's not the United States. I heard that the air in Europe is particularly good."

Fang Zhuo touched his chin for the first time today with a sincere expression of emotion, and said incredulously, "Brother Chen, Universal is the same cold and hot."

Chen Shuhu was a little embarrassed by his eyes, said "see you the day after tomorrow" again, and turned to leave.

Fang Zhuo looked at the figure of the general manager who had been pondering over and over again, and couldn't help but sigh again - what a magical era.
