Cosmic Professional Gladiator

"Bankrupt?" Brothers Cheng Zitong and Cheng Zihao were a little confused.

"Dad, have you reached this point?" Cheng Zitong asked.

Cheng Zihao said even more eagerly: "Dad, when the virtual glasses came out, it had a great impact on many Internet companies. Our Tiger Shark Group finally became stronger after being impacted. This time the virtual world can't defeat us, we It can also infiltrate virtual worlds."

"There is no chance." Cheng Liwei shook his head slightly with an old face, "This time is different from the last time the virtual glasses, the last time the virtual glasses came out with technology first, and then authorized many companies... There is a long-term transition, and we also have Prepare."

"But this time, it's the Blue Star Alliance that directly distributes virtual helmets. The virtual world is directly open to everyone, completely impacting the previous online market."

"In the past month or so, the group's stock price has been falling, and after the press conference, it plummeted even more. Although the trading is temporarily suspended, as long as the suspension is lifted, it will plummet again, and the market value will fall below one trillion yuan." Cheng Liwei said calmly , "A number of banks have frozen the family trust assets and asked us to repay the loan in advance."

"Will the market value fall below one trillion?" Cheng Zitong and Cheng Zihao knew that the situation was not good.

"The value of 8.2% of the group's shares owned by the family trust is less than 100 billion. Is it insolvent?" Cheng Zitong asked, "Dad, what about other investments in the family trust?"

"Families are based in the Internet industry, and family trusts invest mostly in the Internet industry. Under the impact of this wave, most valuations will be discounted by 20% or 30%, and some will die directly." Cheng Liwei said, "Family trust Originally, the assets were 900 billion, and the debt was more than 300 billion, which was very safe. But now these assets... are probably worth less than 200 billion."

"So much difference?" Cheng Zihao was even more confused.

His good life depends on the family trust and the Tiger Shark Group controlled by the family.

"There is no way. The emergence of the virtual world cannot be resisted by humans." Cheng Liwei shook his head and smiled, "It's ridiculous, I didn't get any news about such a big matter before. Obviously, the Blue Star Alliance doesn't care at all The life and death of Internet companies."

"Tiger Shark Group will not die, after all, the balance sheet is very good." Cheng Zitong said, "But our family's 8.2% shares will probably be taken away by the bank soon."

"Don't worry, the assets of the two of you are completely separated from the assets of the family trust." Cheng Liwei looked at the two sons, "As the manager of the family trust, I need to bear the price. But you two will not be affected, and you two Let's live a low-key life. After all, the Cheng family is mediocre without the Tiger Shark Group."

Cheng Zitong and Cheng Zihao were silent.

"It's gone? It's gone?" Cheng Zihao's body trembled slightly, and he looked at his father, "Dad, these years, you must have given my elder brother five billion, but you gave me only two billion. It's not fair."

"Second brother, these are all in accordance with the family trust rules." Cheng Zitong said.

"Dad, you are so unfair." Cheng Zihao looked at his father.

"unfair?"

Cheng Liwei looked at him, "First, your elder brother is older than you, and the family trust will distribute the first cash when you reach the age of 22. After that, it will be distributed year by year. Who can blame you for paying less because you are younger? Second , The stronger the investment and management ability, the more family trusts will be added. Your investment ability is not as good as your elder brother, who do you blame? Third, I helped you fill in the big hole you poked before. There are still human feelings! How can I feel sorry for you?"

"But I have nothing!" Cheng Zihao looked at his father.

"I'm bankrupt, what else do you want?" Cheng Liwei pointed at the door, "Get out!"

Cheng Zihao looked at his father redly.

"Get out!" Cheng Liwei pointed at the door.

Cheng Zihao turned his head and left, only Cheng Liwei and his eldest son Cheng Zitong were left in the office.

"Dad, the second child is in a hurry." Cheng Zitong said in a low voice, "Although you have given the second child 200 million over the years, but his investment ability is too poor, I guess he doesn't have much left. If you know, it will be gone in the future." , so hurry up."

"You remember."

Cheng Liwei looked at his eldest son Cheng Zitong, "From today onwards, don't give your second brother a penny!"

Cheng Zitong was slightly taken aback: "Then what if he starves to death on the street?"

"Let him starve to death!" Cheng Liwei said indifferently, "Our Cheng family is no longer the Cheng family of the past, and we can't afford to lose anymore!"

"Yes, I understand." Cheng Zitong replied.

...

In Cheng Zihao's office.

"Boom, boom, boom." Cheng Zihao crazily smashed everything that could be smashed in the office.

"Old man, you are so ruthless!" Cheng Zihao could only grit his teeth, then lightly touched his watch, and said with gritted teeth, "Now, immediately, get out of my office!"

Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man with some water in his hair came to the office and said, "Boss, I was still in the virtual world before. I came here as soon as I heard from you."

"Quickly, how much money does my investment company have?" Cheng Zihao asked.

"There are more than 120 million in cash." The middle-aged man said immediately, "The rest are all investments."

"How much are those investments worth?" Cheng Zihao asked.

"Many are angel investments, and they cannot be withdrawn in a short period of time." The middle-aged man said, "Some investments in the Internet industry may be in vain. The impact of the virtual world is too great."

"What I'm asking is, if these investments can be refunded, if they can be sold, if they can be mortgaged, how much can they exchange for?" Cheng Zihao asked.

"One hundred million." The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Barely."

"I invested 500 million, and this is all I have left?" Cheng Zihao refused to accept.

"Now the Internet industry is too miserable." The middle-aged man said helplessly, "There are also three companies of our own, with so many people signed, and so many employees, the monthly expenditure is about 20 million. Our cash can only maintain About half a year."

"Only for half a year?" Cheng Zihao murmured, his lips turned white.

"Fortunately, the chairman helped to solve the big hole last time, and the company is still stable for a short time." The middle-aged man added, "When the hole was filled last time, the chairman said that you are not allowed to talk to outsiders. Borrowed."

"Don't mention him."

Cheng Zihao sat on the seat and covered his head, "Get out, I have to think about it."

"Yes, boss." The middle-aged man obediently went out.

"The cash can only last for half a year? The family trust is gone?" Cheng Zihao's eyes were bloodshot, and he unconsciously grabbed his hair, "What should I do, what should I do?"

*****

virtual reality.

Xu Jingming guessed that the Cheng family would be miserable, but he didn't have the time to pay attention. He is now in the 'Martial Arts Field' in his personal space, experiencing the function of the 'Martial Arts Field' as a companion.

Martial arts training ground, in a canyon with green mountains and green waters.

Three bandits came from three directions and besieged Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming held a spear and waited calmly.

When the bandits got close to three feet, Xu Jingming immediately rushed to the right to meet the swordsman on the right.

"Kill." The swordsman gangster grinned and came directly to kill.

"puff."

With a movement of the spear in Xu Jingming's hand, it was like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole. The tip of the spear poked the knifeman gangster's neck, and then retracted.

The swordsman gangster's neck was pierced and dissipated directly. The remaining two bandits, without the slightest fear, rushed towards them even more frantically.

Xu Jingming only backed down a step, and nodded twice with the tip of the spear. The two gangsters were shot in the heart and between the eyebrows, and they turned into illusions and dispersed.

"A sparring partner with a basic combat power of 800 is indeed relatively weak, so it is suitable for familiarizing with marksmanship." Xu Jingming didn't feel the difficulty at all.

The control of the distance and the control of the reaction time make his marksmanship like an art, and he can easily kill the virtual sparring partner in the training ground.

hum!

"Huh?" Xu Jingming tapped lightly, and saw a burly middle-aged man looking over at the martial arts training ground on the other side. This burly man's eyes were like tigers, and his intimidating power was terrifying.

"Master?" Xu Jingming was a little uncertain.

"Hahaha, are you surprised to see that I have become younger?" Liu Hai laughed.

"Congratulations, Master. Over the years, the world's martial arts circles have guessed that if you participated in the World Martial Arts Competition at the age of 30, Master, you would probably be the greatest king in the World Martial Arts Competition. Now that humans have evolved, Master can satisfy everyone's guesses and imaginations." Xu Jingming also looked forward to it.

Liu Hai is a legend all over the world.

Forty-five years old, considered very old in the fighting world, and in much worse condition than in his twenties. Master Liu Haineng has participated in five consecutive martial arts competitions since he was forty-five years old, and he was in the top three each time, and the last time he was number one in the world.

How strong was he at his peak? This has always been a source of speculation.

"The past is not worth mentioning." Liu Hai said with a smile, "Jingming, in the 30 years of professional martial arts competitions, there are only more than 20,000 professional martial arts players registered in the world. Today, there are more than 20,000 people competing with more than 70,000 people. One billion people! In the virtual world, they will not be injured or tired, they can choose a training partner at will, and they can engage in life-and-death fights. Their growth rate will be more than ten times faster than our original training in reality."

"In a month or two, we professional players still have an advantage."

"Half a year! Just half a year... We professional martial arts players will be completely submerged." Liu Hai looked at Xu Jingming, "But this is already the most suitable era for our martial arts players! There has never been an era with so many of us now." Martial arts player."

"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded, people all over the world are learning, how has fighting with cold weapons been so prosperous?

"We already have a good foundation. If we seize the opportunity, we will be able to soar into the sky!" Liu Hai looked at Xu Jingming, "Jingming, don't let this era down."

"Hmm." Xu Jingming's blood was also boiling with enthusiasm, and he also wanted to create a world in this era.

"By the way, have you rated it? Have you reached the god level?" Liu Hai asked.
