Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

The Internet industry emerged in the early 1990s. In the intervening ten years, it has developed vigorously. One of the representatives is Nasdaq. In the eyes of many people, Nasdaq is more famous than the New York Stock Exchange.

But this time, after the bubble burst, life became really sad.

Does the Internet industry have a future?

Everyone thinks that there is. This is not only known to the founders of Internet companies, but also to many people with vision and foresight.

But even though the Internet industry has gone through ten years, the strange thing is that the Internet industry has not yet found a way to make profits.

In fact, this is very strange. Normally, how can an industry survive for ten years without making money? If a business does not make money, it cannot survive for even one day.

If a company does not make money, it will be difficult to survive for a month or ten years. Isn't that a joke?

Running a business depends on profits and expenses. If the income and expenses can be balanced, then you can survive. If the income is greater than the expenses, then you can live for a long time.

But if the expenses are greater than the income, then it is impossible to survive.

This is the same for other industries except the Internet industry. State-owned enterprises must abide by this rule even if the government provides blood transfusions. Now we are retreating from the state and advancing the people.

But the Internet has been growing wildly for ten years. It even reached its peak at one time, but it couldn't even find a profitable direction.

Yes, this has been the case in the Internet industry in the past ten years. Even if the real estate industry is a bubble, everyone at least knows that this house can be sold, has assets, and has a profit direction, and the profit direction is very clear.

If it is commercial real estate, we will open shopping malls, if it is office real estate, we will build office buildings, and if it is residential real estate, we will sell houses. But in the Internet industry, everyone does it all, but no one knows the direction of profit.

It has been growing like a weed for ten years. Now that the bubble has burst, capital has begun to withdraw, and the remaining founders of the Internet industry are having a hard time.

How do companies survive? The stock price has dropped from a few dollars before to a few cents or even a few cents. It can be said that it has returned to before liberation overnight.

Sometimes it's not terrible to have nothing. What's terrible is that once you had it, it would be difficult to go back to living with nothing.

Start over again is an idiom and a song, but it is not reality.

Changing to the current Xinlang, Wang Zhidong faces such a dilemma. Xinlang was listed in April last year. The highest stock price was fifty-five US dollars per share. But now, it is US$55 per share. One dollar and six.

This is simply a joke. As the founder, Wang Zhidong can certainly handle it, but these Xinlang investors, the current shareholders, will definitely quit.

Too much wealth has evaporated here.

Let’s not say that the stock market is the cruelest, but also the funniest place. If you are cheated, stolen, robbed, or even lose your money, there is still a possibility of getting it back. At least you know a place to go. .

But if you look at the words used in the stock market, they have evaporated, and there is not even a hair left.

There is a joke that the word "evaporation" is not used well. Going from liquid to gaseous state is called evaporation, but money is solid, and moving from solid to gaseous state is called sublimation.

So when money is lost in the stock market, it is not called evaporation, it should be called sublimation.

Ordinary people face this situation and can only do nothing but make up a joke to laugh at themselves. In fact, in the face of such big fluctuations in the stock market, even capital has nothing to do. Of course, they can still embarrass the founders.

The relationship between Wang Zhidong and the board of directors has now reached a freezing point. Wang Zhidong once opened the door to welcome every member of the board of directors in person, but now that interests are involved, there is no need for any affection. No matter what, Wang Zhidong estimated that if he could not reverse the current situation, he would be kicked out by the directors.

The board of directors has given an ultimatum. If there is no solution before the next board meeting, he may be kicked out.

Wang Zhidong opened up the chatterbox, so there was nothing he couldn't say to Jiang Xiaobai, just like pouring beans through a bamboo tube.

Jiang Xiaobai pondered for a while and asked, "Do the shareholders of your company intend to transfer their shares?"

"Dr. Jiang?" Wang Zhidong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became excited. He understood what Jiang Xiaobai meant and wanted to help him.

"In this way, as soon as you get off the ship, you can call and ask if there is anyone willing to transfer the shares. I can increase the purchase price appropriately. I am very optimistic about Xinlang.com, and I am also very optimistic about you.

This Internet winter will eventually pass. When I say I support you, I don’t just support you verbally. I will also support you with real actions and real money.

Xinlang is our domestic Internet company, and I must help. I cannot stand idly by. "

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Wang Zhidong and continued: "And you should have heard about my investment style. I completely trust the founders and basically will not interfere in the company's affairs. Many people can confirm this."

Wang Zhidong nodded repeatedly. This is Jiang Xiaobai's golden signature of investment. The reason why some people in the shopping mall are willing to call Jiang Xiaobai the godfather of business is because of Jiang Xiaobai's investment style.

As long as Jiang Xiaobai invests and takes Jiang Xiaobai's money, other company affairs will not be hampered at all except for shares and dividends.

This has been confirmed by many companies. The earliest ones were the Liu brothers, who were the richest men in the country in those two years, and then there were many companies such as Wanke and Yuanhang. Jiang Xiaobai has this style, which can be said to be a golden signature.

Everyone must believe Jiang Xiaobai.

"Thank you, Director Jiang. I will contact you as soon as I get off the ship." Wang Zhidong said excitedly. As long as Jiang Xiaobai takes over Xinlang's shares, it will be equivalent to expanding his voice on the board of directors. After all, Jiang Xiaobai will definitely come in. Support yourself.

At that time, as long as you can compete with others on the board of directors, no one will be able to drive you away and leave the company you worked so hard to create.

"Well, I'm optimistic about you, hold on, I believe the future is bright." Jiang Xiaobai patted Wang Zhidong on the shoulder.

Wang Zhidong looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said solemnly: "Dr. Jiang, because of you, I believe Xinlang's future will be brighter and more brilliant. Thank you."
