Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 297 The name of this company is unlucky
Lu Yiming listened carefully to Wei Liqun's report, and then rubbed his temple with his left middle finger.

To be honest, the [-] million was raised from the local people in Xiangjiang, even if they lost it all, it would not hurt Lu Yiming a single hair.

But since he took other people's money, Lu Yiming still had to do his duty. After all, if he made money, he would get the bulk of it.

Lu Yiming finished rubbing his temples, sat up straight, and tapped rhythmically on the table with the fingers of his left hand.

"You can be regarded as an experienced old employee, so please tell me your opinion first."

Wei Liqun thought about it, and finally told the truth: "I think there is a risk. After all, the beautiful country is too far away from us in Xiangjiang. We have no way of knowing what is going on there. But it is indeed an opportunity, after all, now What we want to invest in is a giant U.S. stock energy company, and such opportunities don’t come along very often.”

Lu Yiming smiled and nodded in agreement with Wei Liqun's statement: "Indeed, you are right on this point, so I choose to refuse."

"Ah? Reject!"

Although Wei Liqun had thought about this possibility before, Lu Yiming's decision so quickly caught him off guard.

After all, Wei Liqun and the others found this investment project with great difficulty. Although there are a lot of risks in it, after everyone's discussion, Wei Liqun still feels that it is very worth investing in.

So he immediately persuaded: "Boss, do you really want to choose to refuse? This is a beautiful giant-level energy company with total assets of more than 400 billion U.S. dollars and a turnover that is about to exceed [-] billion! If it weren't for one of the shareholders because The debt problem suddenly wants to sell the stocks in our hands, and we have no chance at all.”

Lu Yiming sighed, and said with emotion: "Although we are businessmen, and businessmen talk about business, we still have to consider other factors in many cases. Think about it, old Wei, why would the other party want such a good stock?" What about selling? And it’s nothing more than selling, why did the opportunity fall on a financial company from Xiangjiang like our Future Fund?”

"Ah...this..."

Wei Liqun was speechless for a while.

He only analyzed it from a commercial point of view, and felt that this was a project worth starting with, but Lu Yiming didn't talk about business with him, but provided ideas from another angle.

"Boss, do you think there is a problem here?"

Lu Yiming did not answer Wei Liqun's question, but instead asked, "What is the name of this company?"

Wei Liqun held the information in his hand. He knew that his boss didn't like employees who could speak English in his company, so he said cautiously: "Uh, transliterated, it seems to be called 'Anran'."

Lu Yiming was startled.

No wonder the stocks were sold out, and no one came to grab them. It really was An Ran!
As an employee of an Internet company, Lu Yiming is very familiar with the Enron incident!

It's just that Lu Yiming couldn't tell Wei Liqun what happened in the future about An Ran, so he had to find an excuse to say: "Look, doesn't the name 'An Ran' sound unlucky?"

"..."

Wei Liqun never expected that Lu Yiming's angle could be so tricky, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

"so?"

"So this company can't invest in it. It's a business. It's about getting a good start. They can invest in whoever they like, and our future fund will not get involved."

"Good guy... OK, I see."

At the future fund headquarters, Meng Xiujie and Xie Xingwang looked at Wei Liqun eagerly, and waited for him to hang up the phone before impatiently asking: "Mr. Wei, what did the boss say?"

Wei Liqun remembered Lu Yiming's nonsense reason, shook his head slightly and said, "The boss rejected our proposal."

Meng Xiujie and Xie Xingwang became impatient. For this project, they spent a lot of time and energy collecting information and analyzing market conditions. They also wanted to make a fortune from it.

"Mr. Wei, why doesn't the boss agree?"

"Yeah, could it be that our materials are not fully prepared?"

Seeing that Meng Xiujie and Xie Xingwang were anxious like ants on a hot pot, Wei Liqun said helplessly, "It's useless to say that. The main reason is that the boss thinks that the name of Enron Company is unlucky, so he decided not to vote."

"what?"

The two were stupefied after hearing this. If it was something else, they could still find a way to solve it, but they couldn't ask Enron to change its name, could they?
They really can't do this kind of thing!
On the other side, after Lu Yiming hung up the phone, he let out a long breath.

so close!

Investing in Enron in [-], no amount of money would be enough to fill this hole.

Enron, itself a former energy company based in Houston, Texas.

Before declaring bankruptcy in 1000, Enron had about [-] employees and was one of the world's largest electric, natural gas, and telecommunications companies, with a disclosed turnover of more than $[-] billion in [-].

The company has been selected as "the most innovative company in the beautiful country" by "Fortune" magazine for six consecutive years. A financial fraud scandal that went bankrupt within weeks.

In early [-], Jim Cheos, the owner of an investment institution with a good reputation, publicly expressed doubts about Enron's profit model.

He pointed out that although Enron's business looks brilliant, it actually doesn't make much money, and no one can tell how Enron makes money.According to his analysis, Enron's profit rate was 5.00% in [-], but dropped to below [-]% in early [-]. For investors, the return on investment is only about [-]%.

Cheos also noticed that some documents involved the partnership companies behind Enron. These companies had inexplicable behind-the-scenes transactions with Enron. Constantly proclaiming that Enron's stock would rise from around $120 at the time to $[-].

You should know that according to the laws of the beautiful country, if the members of the company's board of directors have not left the board of directors, they cannot sell the company's stocks they hold.

Perhaps it was this that sparked skepticism about Enron, and began to really investigate Enron's profitability and cash flow.By mid-August [-], questions were mounting about Enron, which eventually sent the stock price down.

On November 28, [-], Standard & Poor's downgraded Enron's debt rating to "junk bond" level.

On November 800, [-], Enron's stock price fell to [-] US dollars, and its market value fell from the peak value of [-] billion US dollars to [-] million US dollars.

On December 490, [-], Enron formally applied to the bankruptcy court for bankruptcy protection. The assets listed in the bankruptcy list reached [-] billion U.S. dollars, making it the largest bankrupt enterprise in the history of the beautiful country.

Lu Yiming briefly recalled the process of Enron's bankruptcy in his mind, and he was filled with emotion.

Does the company in the beautiful country abide by the laws and regulations?In the end, even the financial fraud was done by Andersen, the world's number one accounting company.

So if you buy Enron's stock at this time, what is the difference from holding a landmine that detonates on time?
While Lu Yiming was thankful that he had escaped a catastrophe, he also wondered if he could use this information to do something.

After all, Enron went bankrupt, but killed many ordinary people in the beautiful country.

However, the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same. After hesitating for two seconds, Lu Yiming decided to silently let the news rot in his stomach.

Maybe the employees in Enron who are about to lose their jobs are miserable, and the investors who bought Enron's stock are even more tearful, but it's not their own fault, so who cares.

If you want to live a long life, you'd better keep your mind off your own business.

On Monday, Lu Yiming got up early in the morning for an unprecedented time. After leaving the community, he bought some fresh shrimp siu mai, and then drove the Audi to the school.

Shi Qingxue's seat was still vacant, so Lu Yiming put a fresh shrimp shumai on Shi Qingxue's table.

Not long after, Shi Qingxue walked into the classroom.When she saw Lu Yiming, her pretty face immediately flushed.

Lu Yiming saw Shi Qingxue and found that her cheeks were flushed, and suddenly felt very strange: "Why is your face so red? Is it uncomfortable?"

As soon as she saw Lu Yiming, Shi Qingxue remembered all the "tricks" Cao Jingwen had said to her, and then she felt blushing.Facing Lu Yiming's gaze at this time, she even subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

"No, maybe the sun was too strong when I came here, and it made my face red."

The words Cao Jingwen said at that time are still lingering in Shi Qingxue's mind, and brought a strong spiritual pollution to her innocent and pure.

The lingering sense of the picture, for the girl, the impact is too intense.

Lu Yiming didn't care, he just told me: "Then remember to tell me if you have something to do, don't be bored."

"it is good."

At this moment, Wu Qiuya walked into the classroom.

Wu Qiuya deliberately wore a snow-white and flawless chiffon shirt today, and the most slim-fitting jeans on her lower body. Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail, revealing her slender neck.

Seeing this, many boys in the class couldn't help short of breath. They looked at Wu Qiuya, wishing they could get into the white shirt directly from the top of the neck, from the collar.

The intellectuality and elegance of the white shirt, the unrestrainedness and enthusiasm of the jeans, Wu Qiuya was able to perfectly blend them together and control them with ease. It can be seen that her aesthetic taste is a whole class above other girls of the same age.

Many boys couldn't help whispering.

"Wu Qiuya is really looking better and better."

"Her clothes are so transparent, I feel like I can see inside, it's black."

"How could it be black? Her skin is so fair."

"I'm talking about the clothes inside, what are you talking about?"

"..."

The chiffon material is already translucent, and with the scorching sun, even though it is still in the morning, people are already sweating. Once soaked in sweat, the clothes will naturally be faintly visible.

How could these wolves and tigers in the class be able to stand up just dressed like this?

Just by looking at the frequency at which Li Zhengkai's Adam's apple rolled, he looked like he was hungry, and it was not a small thirst.

Wu Qiuya met the stares of dozens of boys in the class, but she didn't panic at all, and Shi Shiran walked to her seat.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, as if she didn't see anything, and she seemed to understand everything clearly.

With a few minutes before class, Wu Qiuya took out a copy of "Complete Application Problems" from the desk, turned to one page, and walked towards Lu Yiming with the book.

Wu Qiuya leaned over on Lu Yiming's table, her clothes swaying like ribbons.

Although Lu Yiming didn't want to deal with Wu Qiuya, because he was afraid of being entangled by Wu Qiuya, it would be very troublesome at that time, but he is not a saint. impossible.

His eyes scanned Wu Qiuya's body unscrupulously, and after watching it, he didn't forget to criticize severely: it's outrageous, it's really outrageous.

As for whether to watch it or not?You dare to show me, why can't I see it?

Sitting not far away, Shi Qingxue was so angry that she found that Lu Yiming was secretly looking at Wu Qiuya without hesitation, and broke the pencil in her hand.

She couldn't help recalling Cao Jingwen's embarrassing "suggestions" in her mind, and her heart became more and more hesitant.

Do you really want to do this?

That's too embarrassing, right?
But now that Wu Qiuya is using such shameless tactics, Shi Qingxue feels that if she doesn't do something, Lu Yiming may really be snatched away.

However, although Shi Qingxue's personality has become a lot more outgoing, it is precisely because of this personality that she suddenly didn't know what she should do to increase her attractiveness to Lu Yiming, which immediately made her feel a little frustrated .

At this time, she thought of what Cao Jingwen said to her, and she was very troubled.

If it is really as Cao Jingwen said, then there is no turning back after opening the bow.

However, if Lu Yiming was taken away, it would be something Shi Qingxue would never accept.

After a battle between heaven and man in his heart, Shi Qingxue gradually made up his mind.

After school at noon, when Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue walked to the door, a red Mercedes coupe drove up and stopped in front of them.

Amidst the roar of the engine, Su Yunwei took off her sunglasses, and teased the two of them with a smile: "You two stick together like this every day, your relationship is so good."

Shi Qingxue showed a shy face, and called out sweetly: "Auntie, why are you here to pick me up today?"

Su Yun pouted her lips slightly at Lu Yiming, and said, "Not only are you here to pick you up, but Lu Yiming is also here."

Lu Yiming was a little surprised: "Me? What's the matter? Are you going to invite me to dinner again?"

Su Yunwei said: "No, there is a little problem with Shijinji, my sister told you to go there together and discuss it."
