rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 566 The frustrated Xiao Ma

On this day, Chen Li spent a lot of money.

Even when he was at his peak in his previous life, it would take him about two years to earn this kind of money.

Of course, this is mainly because there is a property in it.

In Yanjing in 2000, housing prices had actually risen significantly, but fortunately, Chen Li bought a second-hand house, and it was located near the original house, that is, on the West Third Ring Road.

In the 2000s, although housing prices in the Third Ring Road have increased, the increase has not been significant.

Just like this house, the average price is even less than 5,010 square meters.

Of course, this price is actually considered high these days, but in Chen Li’s opinion, you won’t lose money if you buy it with your eyes closed.

More than ten years later, there are basically no houses around the third ring road in Yanjing City with an average price lower than 50,000.

In fact, from an economic point of view, Chen Li should buy a house in the Second Ring Road. After all, this can actually maximize his benefits.

But now Chen Li buys a house not just for investment and financial management, but mainly for convenience.

In the end, the apartment was bought, and the formalities were naturally handed over to Zhang Ruolan. Anyway, the contract was signed the same day after viewing the apartment.

This still makes Ma Xiaoteng a little depressed.

Therefore, many people really believe that the day of the 24th was indeed an accident.

But now, this bubble has burst, and naturally someone needs to take the corresponding responsibility.

Of course, it's a bit ridiculous to say that it was an accident. Anyway, it is Microsoft's fault. As long as the market opens on Monday, I believe that the capital market will definitely return to its previous level of prosperity.

To put it bluntly, this house is mainly for my parents and family to live in.

Even if the U.S. government comes forward and the Federal Reserve endorses it, it can only slow down the decline of U.S. stocks, but it cannot stop the downward trend.

In their opinion, there is no problem for a family living in a three-bedroom apartment like Chenli's.

However, because more people had this idea, a large number of sell orders appeared at the same time during the pre-market time, and the Nasdaq index plummeted by 280 points when the market opened that day.

After all, Chen Li is a private android who spent a lot of money to hire. If he doesn't even have this effect, then all his mall currency will be wasted.

But he has no choice, because Penguin.com is waiting for money!

Originally, the reason why he was waiting for a price was because the e-commerce industry itself was favored by many investors and institutions.

As for Chen Li and Liu Qingqing, it's not convenient. How can there be so much care!

Well, this is a problem of consumption concepts, also commonly known as the "generation gap".

Of course, all this depends on personal wishes. If anyone really has the idea of ​​​​further study, Chen Li will naturally satisfy him.

This also means that today's Internet industry is no longer as prosperous as before, and those founders cannot take away checks from investors' pockets with just a word of mouth and a business plan.

Chen Tingting and Chen Xueying were able to pass the Qingbei examination. It was because of their hard work and the careful teaching of the knowledgeable androids.

Only those who have experienced it personally can understand the meaning of it.

There was no way~ Mainly because Chen Xue was already in her senior year of high school when Chen Li asked for private tutoring from the bionic man.

Some news media have even exposed some companies that pretend to be "Internet technology"!

And the reality is just as Chen Li imagined!

The collapse of the Nasdaq index on March 24 was just the beginning.

Then those who originally planned to continue to hold or even prepare to increase their holdings of stocks were dumbfounded.

Yes ~ a waste!

After all, if you want to maximize the benefits, it is naturally impossible to conduct a real big sale.

So ~ under the premise that Chen Li and the intermediary colluded in advance, a house with a total price of close to 500,000 yuan ended up being sold for just over 200,000 yuan.

These people talked a lot and the core idea was that this time was actually just an accident.

Of course~ The biggest reason why Chen Li bought a house at this time was naturally because he made money.

As for Chen Li's parents later, if they find that the house price is wrong, it doesn't matter. They bought it anyway.

Because although this house is a second-hand house, the house itself has just been renovated less than two years ago. In addition, it is only a three-minute walk from Chen Li's house. The price is more than 200,000 yuan. It is really not expensive!

Everyone feels that the previous Black Friday was indeed just an accident!

U.S. stocks are still the same U.S. stocks, and Nasdaq is still the same Nasdaq.

It’s just that at that time, Ma Xiaoteng felt that the increase offered by the other party was a bit low. At that time, there was another capital firm that was also optimistic about Penguin.com, so Ma Xiaoteng had been waiting for the right opportunity.

There was a saying circulating in the American capital market some time ago: just throw the money you have on hand into the capital market and wait a few days. The money will roll around in the capital market and double by the way!

Of course, this sentence is definitely a bit exaggerated, but it does represent the madness in the capital market at that time.

The results of these two girls are even higher than Chen Xue. If Chen Xue may still have some suspense about taking the Qingbei exam, then it is basically a certainty for these two girls to take the exam.

Don't tell me. Quite a few people believe what these experts say.

Just a few seconds away from falling below 4,500 points!

Then use the raised funds to expand the popularity of Penguin.com, allowing Penguin.com to gain a firm foothold in the domestic e-commerce market.

In fact, many, many people knew about the previous Internet bubble.

He never imagined that he would be so unlucky that something like this happened just when Penguin.com was about to raise funds.

Now Ma Xiaoteng is very depressed, even aggrieved.

For example, Ponyboy from Penguin Studio!

At the end of June, in an office in Yanjing City, Brother Ma signed his name on the document in front of him with a depressed look on his face.

Previously, the Nasdaq index exceeded 5,500 points, which means that Nasdaq is prosperous, technology concept stocks are still trustworthy, and the stock market is still healthy and positive.

Therefore, Chen Li does not plan to let anyone study abroad. At most, they will go to Qingbei. But in fact, the main thing is to accept the teachings of bionic people.

"Brother Aotian~ This has been signed. Um, when will the money arrive?"

But the Nasdaq index plummeted, which still allowed Chen Li to make a lot of money.

However, although both Chen Tingting and Wang Yan have the ability to pass the Qingbei examination, their learning abilities are actually quite different.

Originally this wasn't really a problem.

Hmm~ Actually, using the word sale at this time is somewhat inaccurate. After all, everyone is actually holding back their energy at this time.

But it’s just depressing. Who asked Chen Li to pay the most? What Penguin lacks the most right now is funds.

From the opening of the market at 3 o'clock, the Nasdaq index plummeted all the way, and by the close of trading, the Nasdaq index had fallen to 4503 points.

Therefore, buying this apartment is also to prepare in advance.

Yes~ Ma Xiaoteng used to think that he was stingy, but now he feels how generous he was before.

After completing the first transaction before, Penguin.com is now completely on track.

But even if the other party doesn't have such an idea, with Chen Li's current wealth, he can definitely prepare a suitable job for the other party in the future.

The reason why Wang Yan was admitted to Qingbei University was because there was no better university in the country above Qingbei University.

According to common sense, who is responsible should be responsible, but the reality is that the smart people have run away long ago.

Although the teaching level and related knowledge reserves of many foreign universities are indeed higher than those of domestic universities, if compared with the system, they are actually at the level of a novice.

But everything is afraid of a but. After the stock market opened, a sudden flow of funds broke into the Nasdaq. The previous plunge of 280 points gradually recovered.

But these people were naturally only a small part compared to the huge group of people who were optimistic about Internet technology at that time.

In fact, after the Nasdaq plummeted that day, it had a huge impact on the American capital market.

Because that day was Friday, and the following two days were Saturday and Sunday, when the market was closed, both U.S. officials and some financial institutions made comments about this time.

Isn’t it just an accident? Everyone is optimistic that the stock market will continue to grow?

So how did this 280-point plunge happen?

Because according to Chen Xue's current results, as long as there are no accidents, it is estimated that it will be no problem to pass the Qingbei exam.

So ~ when some people fantasize about entering the capital market to make money after the market opens on Monday, Monday is really here!

Originally, his Penguin Studio was developing well, and even with the publicity of Red Pony Technology, they had already gained a certain degree of fame.

Many people thought that since the capital market had been crazy for so long at that time, how could it completely collapse in one day.

But now almost all investment institutions are somewhat worried about the Internet, and naturally they will not be as generous as before.

It’s just that everyone thinks it was an accident!

After all, there are so many companies in Internet technology. It’s not normal to have a few companies that are not doing their jobs properly, right?

For Chen Li's parents, the gap between buying a house with 200,000 yuan and 500,000 yuan is quite big.

Now that the Internet bubble has officially burst, although Chen Li missed the opportunity to short Microsoft in order to ensure the leverage of shorting the Nasdaq index.

There is no way~ Mainly because the previous Nasdaq and Internet technology stocks were too crazy.

There is an old saying that goes well~Sooner or later you will have to pay back if you call someone out.

This also caused both Baring Capital, the company behind Xuxing, and another financial institution that was optimistic about Penguin to lower the conditions originally given to Penguin.

Logically speaking, Penguin.com will start its official first round of financing at this time.

By this time~ In fact, many people have already been trapped. They have exchanged the funds in their bank accounts for some stocks composed of data.

But he did not wait for the right opportunity, and instead waited for the bursting of the Internet bubble and the arrival of the Internet cold wave.

The previous Sister Xu from Baring Capital even communicated with him several times.

After all, the two are not products of the same era at all, so there is naturally no comparison.

It’s just that the situation is different from what everyone imagined before. When a group of retail investors opened their bank accounts, looking forward to entering the capital market to make a fortune. During the pre-market time on Monday, a large number of institutions and large banks

Investors began to sell their stocks in unison.

In addition, Chen Li doesn’t want Wang Yan to study abroad, mainly because he wants to go to university abroad, so Chen Li might as well continue renting knowledge-based androids to teach Wang Yan!

In the opinion of Chen Li's parents, this price is not only not expensive but even a bit advantageous.

Yes~ Starting from Monday, and for a long time to come, the entire capital market has been in a very unstable state.

A week later, the stock market is still falling!

A month later, the stock market is still falling!

Three months later, some Internet companies with some bad assets have already begun the process of bankruptcy liquidation.

By this time, the originally prosperous Internet technology had become a closely guarded term among investors.

However, Chen Tingting and Wang Yan~ have been receiving personal training from bionic humans since their first year of high school.

Some experts even called this time to be a good time to enter the stock market. After all, the Nasdaq index fell 820 points on the 24th, and the wealth represented by this was unprecedentedly huge.

Of course~ When he bought the house, Chen Li did not let his parents know the real price of the house.

Then the entire capital market completely collapsed!

To be precise, he asked the agent to cut the house price in half.

Even when the time reached around 3 p.m., the Nasdaq even broke through to 5,000 points again.

Then there is no more!

And this time, everyone seemed to understand that maybe what happened on Friday was just an accident. But the impact of this accident has far exceeded the concept of "accident".

As a result, the Internet bubble grew bigger and bigger, and everyone involved actually "contributed" to it.

This time, the dumbfounded person became Ma Xiaoteng!

If Chen Li doesn't have a house in Yanjing, then he can just buy it with the 500,000 yuan. But the problem is that Chen Li already has a house there, so if the price is too expensive, Chen Li's parents may think it's a waste.

But Chen Li is different~ He comes from the later generations, so if he doesn't have the conditions, that's fine, but now he has the conditions~ Why not make himself more comfortable?

Of course, Ma Xiaoteng was not a person who gave up. After running around, he finally found a generous investor.

That’s Chen Li!

It's just that Chen Li was originally the second shareholder of Penguin. Now after this financing, Chen Li has become the largest shareholder of Penguin.

And it’s impossible to lose money on a house in this location.

Not only Chen Xue, but also Wang Yan and Chen Tingting, who are in their first year of high school this year.

In fact, by this time, some smart people have already seen some clues.

After all, from the perspective of Chen Li's parents' generation, today's life is infinitely better than before, and it seems a bit wasteful to blindly pursue enjoyment.

It's not that the house prices are high at this time, but if the prices go up, maybe Chen Li's parents won't agree to buy this house.

For most people, even when they hear these news, they will only treat it as gossip.

In the TV media, some financial experts and even big names in the investment community said that the collapse of the Nasdaq index was mainly affected by the Microsoft antitrust case.

Because of the bursting of the Internet bubble, capital parties and some investment institutions have become extremely cautious when dealing with Internet projects.

You know, even on the 24th, which was known as "Black Friday" two days ago, it only fell 210 points before the market opened.

The most important thing is that Chen Li knows very well that this is just the beginning. Starting from the end of March, the Nasdaq index will be like a grasshopper after autumn. It won't be able to bounce around for long.

Anyway, although Chen Li had many shares, the voting rights were still in his hands, Ma Xiaoteng. So although he was depressed, Ma Xiaoteng still approached Chen Li.

"Well~ my sister is about to take the college entrance examination, and I have to go back to my hometown."

"Let's do this~ I'll urge them here and ask them to transfer the money to you as soon as possible."

On the opposite side of the desk, Chen Li pushed up the glasses on his face, smiled and stretched out his hand to Brother Ma!
