Chapter 1208: Zhou Ming, you betrayed the motherland
"Silicon Valley? Why do you want to invest in the Internet bubble?" Zhou Ming asked.
"The Internet...bubble?"
Boya was very surprised by Zhou Ming's words. Even Piero, who was unhappy and despised, was about to close his eyes and count sheep, staring at this time with wide eyes.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, you may not understand the Internet economy. This is the hottest economic model in the United States nowadays. It can drive tens of billions of capital flows a year. It is known as the engine of the US economy. Why do you say this is a bubble?" Boya asked.
Faced with Boya's explanation and questioning, Zhou Ming was not in a hurry at all, and he had the time to ask back: "Does Mr. Boya really think so?"
This question instead stopped Bear, making him not know how to answer.
Of course, Zhou Ming didn't expect him to answer. Zhou Ming continued: "I have a certain understanding of the Internet economy in the United States. It is undeniable that the Internet is indeed a very charming place. Its free two-way communication and information display are incomparable to many physical enterprises. It is reasonable to have a rapid growth of this type of industry."
But when he said this, Zhou Ming suddenly changed his subject: "But I read the relevant documents of some Internet companies in Silicon Valley in detail, but found two important issues."
Zhou Ming first raised a finger: "First of all, it's profitable. Maybe I'm not lucky. At least, none of the Internet companies I've investigated have profitable, and more than half of them don't even have any income. All of theirs, including normal expenses, rely on risk financing obtained through issuance of stocks and other channels. It's hard for me to imagine that these companies are real."
Piero snorted coldly at this: "Short-sightedness and shallowness!"
There is no doubt that Piero did not agree with Zhou Ming's explanation, and Zhou Ming was too lazy to care about him. He just continued: "Of course, I know that the strategy of changing funds to the market is to maintain the development of the company by constantly burning money to seize market share. After the company has seized enough market share, it can start monopolizing and making money, such as the slogans that some Internet companies have become bigger or lost."
Zhou Ming then raised his second finger: "Then we will mention the second question now, that is, these companies lack practical development strategies, and even many Internet companies' bosses can't even figure out what the Internet is. It seems that they just printed out the same business plan from the next office, which can be used to send investors and then issue stocks to make money."
Zhou Ming spread his hands and said, "Isn't this... still a bubble? I do admit that the Internet economy in the United States is extremely prosperous now, but no matter how prosperous it is, the bubble is still a bubble."
After hearing Zhou Ming's words, Boya immediately applauded Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming said so well, this is the Internet bubble!"
Boya then emphasized: "And this is the direction we hope to cooperate with Mr. Zhou Ming this time, in Silicon Valley, in this Internet bubble."
"Do you want to break the US Internet bubble and sell out to create market panic to make profits?"
Zhou Ming frowned: "But I am bluntly speaking, isn't this cooperation more suitable to discuss it after 2000?"
If Piero had a lofty attitude towards Zhou Ming before and did not take Zhou Ming seriously, but when he heard Zhou Ming's words, he could no longer calm down. He stood up in a panic, his face full of incredible expressions.
Asked Zhou Ming: "What did you know in 2000? Who told you about it?"
Boya was much calmer next to him. Although he also took a breath, he was not surprised that Zhou Ming could make such a judgment.
Zhou Ming felt innocent about this: "Is there any problem with this?"
Piero realized that his reaction just now was a bit too extreme, so he sat down angrily, feeling that he had lost face and ignored Zhou Ming.
It was Boya who told Zhou Ming that they had plans for the Internet in Silicon Valley for a long time, and not only they, but also other wealthy families, were also very interested in this emerging industry and even had a vague trend of becoming a capital battlefield. According to the Morgan family and their allies' plans for the Internet economy, it is expected to reach its peak around 2000, and then they can burst the bubble and create a crisis to harvest.
Zhou Ming listened with relish: "So that's it!"
Zhou Ming really doesn't know that there is so much inside story. It turns out that the collapse of the Internet bubble that broke out in the United States in the millennium has long been designed, and the power to design this bubble is now in front of him.
However, this did not surprise Zhou Ming, because since Boya proposed investment cooperation on Silicon Valley, Zhou Ming's first reaction was this massive Internet bubble. The only thing that puzzled Zhou Ming was that he broke out after 2000, but now it is only 1997, so Zhou Ming asked this question.
Zhou Ming didn't want to be a sucker to deceive them, but he really found so many secrets behind it.
After understanding these things, Zhou Ming became confused: "Since that's the case, isn't it too early for you to come to me to cooperate with me now?"
Boya shook his head and said that it was not early: "It is planned to be a thousand years later, but it does not mean that it can only be shorted in the Internet. Now is a good opportunity. I believe that Mr. Zhou Ming, Mr. Caitlin, is very clear about this."
Zhou Ming turned around and glanced at Caitlin, but he didn't expect that there was something about her in it.
Caitlin didn't intend to get involved, and didn't want to steal Zhou Ming's limelight, but she didn't expect that she would just click her name now.
Caitlin told Zhou Ming that she, Karelina and Tang Ran, did do some things in Silicon Valley, and judged that Internet companies do have the conditions to short now.
"Your Highness, you are too modest. Aren't you the short-selling conditions created by you?" said Bear.
After listening to Boya's rhetoric, Zhou Ming was surprised again. He felt that Caitlin had done what her Detachment of Women had done in the past few years. Why did the emerging Internet industry in Silicon Valley have been involved in? Moreover, Boya's tone was not just a simple dabbling, but it was probably quite influential.
However, Caitlin obviously didn't want to deal with Boya's problem, so Zhou Ming asked Boya: "There is another last question. Even if there is conditions, you shouldn't be so anxious, right? What's wrong?"
When Boya heard Zhou Ming’s question, he was stunned at first, and then smiled bitterly: “That’s what Mr. Zhou Ming, you have taught us. Due to our failure in the financial war in Hong Kong City, we suffered some losses and need to be compensated. In addition, some guys who have caused trouble in this financial war…”
"Okay, you've said too much!" Piero suddenly interrupted Beya's endless talk.
Boya was interrupted by Piero, and he didn't say anything, but shrugged in vain. Then Piero said to Zhou Ming: "
That's what's happening now. We think this is feasible and there is also a good prospect for cooperation, so Mr. Zhou Ming, you can come together, and we can even help you get American citizenship. This is not a problem..."
"it's out of the question!"
This time Piero's words were interrupted, and then the door of the reception room was opened. Tong Hua and Guo Xiaohua walked in, especially Guo Xiaohua. He came over with a fierce look and stared at Zhou Ming: "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou Ming, who had just won the financial defense battle for Hong Kong City, is now in private contact with international short sellers and wants to take American nationality. Your behavior is simply disappointing!"
Facing Guo Xiaohua who suddenly came in, neither Zhou Ming nor Piero nor Beya were both confused. No one expected that such an incident would come.
Especially Zhou Ming: "President Guo, I think you may have misunderstood..."
But Guo Xiaohua ignored Zhou Ming's explanation and interrupted directly: "What did I misunderstand? I heard it at the door just now, but I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou Ming, I always thought you would be a loyal comrade of the Party and the country, but I didn't expect that you would collude with foreigners."
Guo Xiaohua also pointed at Piero and Beya: "Don't you know what their identities are? They are international short sellers. They just invaded Hong Kong City Finance and caused such great losses to Hong Kong City. You actually contacted them privately and wanted to go to the United States to ask for American nationality. Do you know that you are now betrayal of the motherland?"
???
Zhou Ming asked questions, brother, what did you hear?
Yes, Piero mentioned the issue of American nationality twice just now, but that was just something he brought out casually. He never took over from beginning to end. Also, he still used American nationality if he wanted to go to the United States? Didn’t he have already passed the visa if he led the team to Harvard for further study before?
"President Guo, things are really not what you think." Zhou Ming also turned his attention to Tong Hua next to him, "Chief Chief Tong, I think you can explain this question to me."
But Guo Xiaohua said arbitrarily at this time: "What else do you need to explain this? I will report this matter to the central government truthfully. If you want to explain it, keep it to explain to the central leaders."
Piero and Beya looked at each other and stood up together.
Boya said to Zhou Ming: "It seems that there is something going on with Mr. Zhou Ming. It may be a bit inconvenient for us to be here, so let's say goodbye first, but the same thing is true. I am full of expectations for our meeting in the United States. Goodbye."
"When will I promise you that you are going to the United States?" Zhou Ming asked back.
However, no one cared about Zhou Ming's words at this time, and Piero and Beya walked out of the door directly.
"Boya, you said too much!"
After walking out of the hospital and returning to the car, Piero said to Boya with dissatisfaction: "Did you just plan to tell us that we owe a lot of money from the bank and that we were betrayed by our allies? You are losing our face to Morgan. There is no need to say too much to these Chinese people. If we can come to the door on our own initiative, we have already given him enough face!"
But Boya explained: "But Zhou Ming is different from other Chinese people you have ever met, and hasn't he proved himself?"
Piero raised his head proudly and snorted coldly: "Just be smart, let's talk about it when he arrives in the United States. I believe this will not be long in the situation just now."
Boya glanced at Piero with an undeniable expression.
