Reborn, you call this an honest person?

Chapter 276 Lehman Bankruptcy
Wang Heng tried his best to prevent foreign brand mobile phones from entering the country and the news spread to the beautiful country.
It even aroused Apple's discussion, and even at the Apple meeting, some executives specifically proposed,
After hearing this, Jobs said directly, "Apple mobile phones will not be released in China, so don't worry about it."

"But they have a population of 14 billion, which is a market several times larger than our beautiful country."

"What's the matter? Their products are knockoffs, and they can't afford genuine ones, so Apple products are never sold to them."

"Boss, they sold 1.2 million Honor phones!"

"Honor phones are also counterfeit products."

Seeing that Jobs has always insisted on his prejudices, the executives said nothing more.

Not only Apple mobile phones don't care, Samsung mobile phones also don't care, after being boycotted by Wang Heng, they will no longer be released in China,

In the parallel world, Samsung has disappeared in China due to battery problems.
And Apple is amazing. It occupies more than 60% of the domestic high-end market, and after turning into a problem, it accounts for more than 80% of the high-end market.

It can be said that the domestic high-end mobile phone Apple is the only one.

Now that Wang Heng has made such a move, it is estimated that Apple’s market value will drop by a quarter in the future, and it will have a market value of 2 trillion U.S. dollars in the future. There is no way that Apple’s mobile phone has a large background.
So while Wang Heng is engaged in Apple, he will still buy Apple stock,
When Wang Heng was paying attention to the sales of Glory 2, a piece of news from Beautiful Country shocked the world.

"Lehman Brothers went bankrupt!" This was an explosive news, and global stock markets plunged because of this news.
At the headquarters of Hengda Group, most of the employees discussed this matter during their lunch break. After all, this is the current headline news in the world.

Of course, as a group company that mainly mixes with the IT industry, it has nothing to do with this matter, but discussions are flying one by one.

The bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in North America, had a huge impact, even more terrifying than the previous subprime mortgage companies.

"It's over, let's see how many companies go bankrupt this time."

"It was the subprime mortgage crisis before, but now it is considered a financial crisis. There are two crises a year. This year is probably the most difficult year..."

"Hey! The boss also threw away 500 billion. After Pinxixi and Yanxuan are over, the group company will be sad."

"It doesn't matter. Although the financial crisis is terrifying, we Hengda Group don't have to be afraid at all."

"Why don't you be afraid?"

"We, Hengda Group, play with technology. What does the subprime mortgage crisis or the financial crisis have to do with us?"

"The group company has a Hengda investment, which seems to be for stock speculation. I heard that it borrowed tens of billions to invest in the stock market."

"That's over, the company may be laying off employees."

"No way? Although the company's senior leaders did not come out to make a speech that stabilized people's hearts, our company has not announced any announcements to increase income, reduce expenditure, or lay off employees. Instead, we are still recruiting externally at this time, and we don't feel the economic crisis at all. Come, don’t you see it, our company is not short of money.”

"It's not bad to borrow tens of billions. Now that the financial crisis is underway, others will definitely have to press for repayment."

"Oh! I saw rumors on the Internet that our company boss invested randomly, and this time there may be a capital chain crisis. Some time ago, the company raised 500 billion yuan from Pinxixi and Yanxuan. I heard that 200 billion yuan was borrowed...

If layoffs do happen, most likely we will be the ones to be cleaned up... Alas!I'm not in the mood for work anymore! "

"Don't think so much. It's a blessing or a curse. You can't avoid a disaster. As long as you do a good job and look at the company's continuous expansion of recruitment, even layoffs won't be able to lay off you, unless it's your own work. It’s a big problem, if you get killed because it affects your mentality and feeds back to the studio, you’ll cry and lose your way.”

"That's a lot of peace of mind, haha, anyway, my performance has almost been completed, and I shouldn't be killed."

……

There are only a few hundred employees in the head office of Hengda Group. Although the financial crisis is quite terrifying, everyone has not experienced much emotional fluctuations.
Although the company's top executives did not come out to express their views, the company's current operating conditions are very good, and the finances of each subsidiary are also very healthy.

Pinxixi raised 200 billion yuan, Yanxuan raised 300 billion yuan, Meituan increased its capital by 100 billion yuan, and Pinpay also increased its capital by 50 billion yuan. The net profit of Honor mobile phone was more than 200 billion yuan without dividends.
In addition to these, the group head office also has billions of active funds, which is enough to deal with various emergencies.

As for why there are only a few hundred employees in such a large group company,

Because it is a group company, it only supervises the data management of the companies invested by the group company or subsidiaries, and does not involve production and sales, so it does not require many people.

As for the tens of thousands of employees at the annual meeting, they are naturally from the subsidiary company.

Not to mention other things, there are tens of thousands of employees in Xixi alone, let alone Meituan, which also has tens of thousands of employees, so tens of thousands of employees in the annual meeting is not a problem.

After the discussion, the employees of the company were just doing what they should do, as usual, as if the financial crisis had nothing to do with the company at all.

After a round of emotional fluctuations, everyone's mentality became more stable. The nonchalant attitude of the company's top management made people feel that they didn't care about changes in the general environment at all, which indirectly stabilized the morale of the army.

Not to mention the Honor mobile phone, the Honor 1 sold 1.2 million units, and the launch of the Honor 2 was snapped up by countless people. The company has more than 200 billion funds, so it is the most insensitive to the entire financial crisis. For consumer electronics, the growth momentum is almost as unsubstantially affected as Huahua. The impact of the economic crisis has not been felt at all, and the performance and revenue data have definitely increased.

……

Wang Heng didn't care much about what the employees thought. He received a call from Hengda Investment President Li Wei to remind him that the stock market could be harvested.
"Boss, the global stock market has been affected by the chain reaction of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, and the U.S. stock market has caused a big shock. The three major stock indexes have once again plunged off the cliff..."

After hearing this, Wang Heng subconsciously turned on the computer and looked at the data.

When he was shorting U.S. stocks, Apple’s stock price was $1249, and Amazon’s stock price was $1076.

Google's stock price is $647, Sony's stock price is $64, plus Merrill Lynch's stock price is $80,

5 futures contracts worth $500 billion,

And now Apple is down to $645,

Amazon also dropped to $410,

Google is $250, Sony is $24, and Merrill Lynch is even worse, falling to $19, which is not far from bankruptcy.

算收益，苹果100亿÷1249x(1249-645)＝48亿美元，
亚马逊100亿÷1076x(1076-410)＝61亿美元，
谷歌100亿÷674x(674-250)＝43亿美元，
索尼100亿÷64x(64-24)＝62亿美元，
美林100亿÷80x(80-19)＝76亿美元，
The 5 contracts have earned Wang Heng 290 billion US dollars so far, plus a deposit of 100 billion US dollars, so as long as he settles, he will soon have 390 billion US dollars in his hands.

Wang Heng was waiting for this opportunity to make a profit...
