Tokyo underground city

Chapter 95 Trapped

Lin Huaien blinked twice.

He was sure that he was not seeing it wrong because he was too sleepy.

The balance in his mind swayed left and right between "sleeping" and "replying messages", and finally lost to sleep.

He closed his eyes, held his phone in the air, and lost consciousness for about 10 minutes.

Then he suddenly got up and slid the screen away again——

"Give me five minutes."

.

Lin Huai'en plugged in the power supply of the capsule coffee machine, opened the espresso capsule storage box that had never been opened since leaving his job, and photographed it into the coffee machine.

Then, with the buzzing sound of the coffee machine, he walked to the bathroom and rinsed his head with cold water.

He picked his eyelids out of habit, feeling that the dark circles under his eyes were not particularly serious, and then he realized -

He hasn't stayed up late for almost half a year——

The kind that is jet lag does not count.

Holding coffee in his hand, Lin Huai'en sat down on the bed and turned on the computer——

[Xiao Lin’s strange classmate: Long wait, what happened? 】

[Yuan Xiaole and Mu Yaya: Sorry, Brother Lin, I bother you so late...]

[Weird classmate from Xiaolin’s family: It’s okay, I’m just getting ready to go to bed. What happened? 】

[Yuan Xiaole and Mu Yaya: It’s like this...I can’t contact Fat Knight and Mu Yaya now, as well as Senyan and other members of her team. In the past week, they have not been online. I suspect they are trapped. In the dungeon! 】

[The strange classmate of the Xiaolin family: ...Before the monster surge, if the magic power in the dungeon is abnormal, it will cause a monster riot. 】

[Weird classmates from the Xiaolin family: Senyan and the others are not heartless explorers. They should not stay in the dungeon under such circumstances... Could it be a mistake? 】

[Yuan Xiaole and Mu Yaya: I hope so too... But after I got the notice of the monster surge, I contacted Yaya and Fatty. It's been two or three days and they haven't replied to me yet...it could only be an accident! 】

[Weird classmate from Xiaolin’s family: Have you called and asked where the local association is? 】

[Yuan Xiaole and Mu Yaya: I tried to contact their staff, but the reply they gave me was to confirm that they were on duty normally. If I was still unsure of their whereabouts, they recommended that I call the police - after all, I am not Their teammates could not ask the Dungeon Association for help in the name of captain. 】

Seeing this, Lin Huaien not only felt a little strange——

[The strange classmate of Xiaolin’s family: ‘On duty’? Why did the staff of the Dungeon Association reply "normally on duty"? Did they really not come back? 】

[Yuan Xiaole and Mu Yaya: Yes... I also think it's because of Million Holdings... Yaya and Senyan are both employees of Million Holdings. If Million Holdings notifies the Dungeon Association that Sen Yan’s team is assisting in defense on the underground level, then the Dungeon Association will not include Yaya and Fatty on the missing list...]

[Xiao Lin’s strange classmate: Helping with defense on the underground floor? Sen Yan and the others are all gray card level explorers, right? 】

[Yuan Xiaole and Mu Yaya: Million Holdings has its own team of explorers... It is a very simple matter to find a reason to let Senyan and the others stay on the underground floor... After all, Senyan's pioneer team is It is normal for their future ace to not want to be lost in the tide of monsters...]

[Weird classmates from Xiaolin’s family: But then, wouldn’t there be a reason why you can’t contact them? 】

[Yuan Xiaole and Mu Yaya: No... Brother Lin, you don’t know! I live with Yaya! There is internet on the basement floor! Based on Yaya's habit, if she really reaches the underground floor, she will definitely find a way to send a message to tell me that she is safe! 】

[Yuan Xiaole and Mu Yaya: It’s because she hasn’t contacted me for so many days that I’m so anxious! 】

[The strange classmate of the Xiaolin family: ...So Million Holdings is lying? But can you think of a reason for them to lie? 】

[Yuan Xiaole and Mu Yaya: I don’t know...Although I hate corporate momentum and am familiar with some of their situations, after all, I have never been in a company and I am not very clear about the operational logic of corporate momentum...]

Is the operating logic of corporate momentum...

Lin Huai'en couldn't help but fell silent when he saw the news about Yuan Xiaole.

Yuan Xiaole has never worked in a company, but it does not mean that Lin Huai'en has not.

"If you think about it from the perspective of corporate operations... Is there any reason for Million Holdings to deceive the Dungeon Association and conceal the situation of Sen Yan and others?"

Lin Huai'en subconsciously opened the webpage and entered "million holdings", "stocks" and "scandal".

The news shocked him.

"Million Holding Group falls into a debt trap!" Shareholders revealed that the company’s financial costs were 22% higher! Already insolvent and seeking bankruptcy reorganization! 》

"Million Holding Group's Chinese concept stock listing plan has been blocked!" HK stocks suffered a massive sell-off! 》

"The chairman of Million Group announced that the company's profitability has not been affected, and the dungeon exploration business still has strong profitability, enough to return dividends to shareholders!" 》

"Million Holding Group's high-leverage financing model has hidden dangers!" Board members pledged their stocks and cashed out early! 》

"The dungeon exploration plans of the Million Holding Group were blocked one after another. The ace battle group collapsed on the 25th floor, and all 55 members of the group were wiped out. The London Dungeon Association humiliatingly returned 55 passes to the headquarters of the Million Group! 》

In just half a month, from back to front.

Ever since "the million-dollar ace battle group was annihilated by London explorers", various problems have arisen in the operation of the entire company.

Based on his experience in listed companies, Lin Huai'en easily deduced the operating model of a million-dollar holding company.

In recent years, the real estate market has not been prosperous enough. Even if the sales volume of residential real estate is normal, commercial real estate such as apartments and supporting businesses have gradually fallen into the embarrassment of being "unsold" under the impact of the online shopping era. situation.

In the words of the real estate industry, these are “stock assets.”

As for Millions Company, since it is a real estate company, it is a very common operation to use the underground city exploration business to use these "stock assets" as collateral to borrow money from banks and cash out.

After cashing out the mortgage and obtaining start-up capital, the Million Company began to recruit employees, pay high salaries to the explorers, encourage them to fight, and purchase equipment to arm them.

These professional explorers who have been carefully crafted by the company, and equipped with powerful equipment, can obtain enough precious relics or treasures to repay the bank loan.

This operating model of "if you want to raise chickens, first borrow money from a rural cooperative to build a chicken farm" cannot be said to be problematic. After all, most businesses in the world share risks through financing in this way.

However, when this game gradually changed from a "chicken game" to a "chicken farm game", the nature changed.

In other words, when the Million Holding Group gradually made a big pie for banks and investors, saying that after receiving the money, it could arm the company's employees and allow them to obtain returns from the underground city that far exceeded their investment.

This "money-making game" has become a "money-burning game".

Everyone believes in the big pie of Million Holdings - as long as enough funds are invested, investors and banks can get more income from the stocks and bonds of millions of companies!

So, burn! burn! burn!

As long as you can make more money, it won't be a problem even if you burn ten times the investment!

However, everyone got one thing wrong.

That is, dungeon equipment is not a fixed asset like a residential apartment...

Dungeon crawlers will die and dungeon gear will be taken away from them.

All it takes is one failure, and all the investment the million-dollar company has put into its ace explorer will be in vain.

And without the "asset" of "equipment", how can professional explorers from million-dollar companies make profits through the "principal" of "equipment"?

Obviously, the failure of Million Holding Group on the 25th floor awakened some sober stockholders and investors, and as these investors began to sell stocks and withdraw funds. The Million Group, which was still indulging in a high-leverage operation model, was given a severe slap in the face——

That is, what is commonly known as a "hard landing."

In just half a month, the Million Holding Group was unable to lend out enough funds because it was too late to clear up the high debts it was carrying, its stocks plummeted rapidly, its financing channels failed, and it was unable to lend enough funds... and a series of other reasons eventually led to Corporate cash flow breaks.

In an instant, he entered the dilemma of insolvency.

Using professional terminology in the market is——

"Both stocks and bonds... collapsed."

.

Lin Huai'en rubbed his temples and felt a headache.

Normally, it is impossible for a company to collapse like a million-dollar company, falling from the sky to the ground in just half a month——

Unless the news about the 25th floor broke out, there had already been problems with the operating conditions of the company.

Now thinking back to Sen Yan's faint feeling of anxiety, he suddenly understood with some hindsight——

As early as that time, professional adventure managers like Sen Yan and others were already burdened with the extremely unreasonable profit task of a million-dollar holding company——

The loss of funds caused by the loss of other personnel and equipment must be earned back by teams like them that can still function normally!

"So... regardless of whether Million Holdings did not realize the disappearance of the Pioneer Chapter due to chaos in the headquarters... or the relevant person in charge concealed the loss of this team because they were afraid of taking responsibility..."

"These are extremely realistic things."

Lin Huai'en doesn't want to imagine humans to be so evil.

But he knew it.

Human beings don't need to be evil to do the most evil things in the world.
