On September 16, ten days after the bankruptcy of Lehman, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Index fell below 2,000 points. The highest point this year was 5,499.6 points at the beginning of the year, which was equivalent to the evaporation of more than half of the market value of all listed companies in the entire mainland.
The stock investors were wailing, and even the comfort of the office was pale. Sure enough, if you want to make a small amount of money, others will want to raid your home.
Various financial and economic experts comforted investors that the market had bottomed out. After hearing the news, investors endured the pain and refused to sell or added positions to buy the bottom. On October 28, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Index hit a record high of 1,664.93 points.
On October 16 last year, the market reached a high of 6124.04 points, and the Shanghai Composite Index set a record high for the first time.
In just one year, stock investors have witnessed and experienced history twice, and they are very lucky. Of course, those who took over the market at a high position would have lost 80% of their wealth if they did not use leverage.
...
Handong Mansion Office.
Qi Tongwei was sitting in the office, frowning as he dealt with various matters. The financial crisis not only affected the orders and operations of various enterprises in Handong Mansion, but also caused a series of chain reactions.
Some companies are not doing well and want to lay off employees. Who should be laid off? They are usually honest people who have a normal relationship with their leaders.
But when an honest person gets angry, he may do unimaginable things. Now a person rushed to the conference room, took out a watermelon knife from his arms and started to chop at random.
According to the report below, three senior executives of the company died on the spot, and 10 others were seriously injured and were being rescued.
But Qi Tongwei knew that it might not be as simple as just three deaths. According to safety regulations, a death of three or less is considered a general accident, a death of 10-30 is a major accident, and a death of more than 30 is a particularly serious accident.
The few seriously injured people who were rescued were probably hanging on for dear life in the ICU, or even dead.
After thinking about it, Qi Tongwei sent a message to Secretary Chen on the computer: "Notice regarding the fact that all companies must abide by labor laws and provide relevant compensation for layoffs. This is the title of the notice. You can fill in the specific content yourself and send it to each company in the evening.
"
Secretary Chen:......
The boss is getting lazy.
After pondering for a while, considering that some companies may not be able to make money, Qi Tongwei continued to write: "Before layoffs, the heads of each company can contact Star Group and ask if they want people. If necessary, the company's seniority will directly exceed the employee's salary.
There is no need to pay seniority compensation, but the monthly salary must be paid!"
Secretary Chen: "Received! By the way, the principal of Jingzhou No. 4 Middle School has an appointment for you today and is already waiting in the lobby."
Qi Tongwei: "Let him come to the office."
"OK."
Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man with a big belly and thin hair came to the office.
"Chief Qi!"
Qi Tongwei raised his head: "What's the matter?"
When talking to a high school principal with his status and rank, there is no need to beat around the bush.
"Prefect Qi, is it like this? Isn't there a financial crisis recently? I wonder if we can help alleviate the financial burden of the government. All our teachers will voluntarily reduce their salaries by 20%!"
"In addition, in order to reduce the burden on our teachers, you assigned two sanitation cleaners and two material statistics recorders to the school. I was wondering if we could fire them all. These teachers in our school also
I can afford it." Principal Wang said cautiously.
Qi Tongwei:???
Miao Le, who was chatting, turned his head and was dumbfounded:???
"Well, Governor Qi, do you have any questions?" Principal Wang asked cautiously.
Qi Tongwei resisted the urge to complain. How much are the salaries of teachers and health workers? Besides, education is the foundation of the country. If teachers are busy with all kinds of things, will they still have the time and mood to educate children?
"Principal Wang, Jingzhou's finances are very abundant at present. You have to remember what your main task is, teaching and educating people! Just put your mind here."
"I have already said at the education meeting a few days ago that the assessment of your education-related departments only looks at two things: grades and student safety. No matter what other problems there are, you report them to the local leaders. If it doesn't work, I will solve them. Do you understand?
"
Although Qi Tongwei's voice was calm, Principal Wang's words made him break into a cold sweat, and he instantly regretted coming to report the bad idea proposed to him by the personnel department.
But it is still quite difficult for him to look at the students' performance. Because of the school performance, the allocation to their schools is relatively small every year. The allocation is small, and the teacher's salary is naturally poor. It is not easy to train a good teacher to transfer.
His head was poached by other schools.
Even some students with good grades were poached! There was simply no way for them to survive.
"Okay, okay!"
"If you have nothing to do, just go back." Qi Tongwei lowered his head and continued to look at the documents in his hand.
Principal Wang hesitated for a while but said nothing. He took a few steps back, turned around, quietly opened the door and looked back, hesitatingly, then quietly closed the door and left.
After the principal left, Qi Tongwei shook his head. Some people are really used to going the wrong way.
Nowadays, there are more than 1 million migrant workers in Jingzhou. According to Jingzhou’s rules, as long as they pay social security for one year, they can arrange for their children to enroll in middle and high schools, so there are quite a lot of students in each school.
Miscellaneous fees for elementary and junior high schools are free, but high schools charge quite a lot of tuition every year. Then some schools use the money to carry out various cosmetic projects, or simply share it with some engineering companies, and in the end they build several dormitories.
On the contrary, the building still owes hundreds of thousands or millions.
Use part of this money to increase the salaries of outstanding teachers and give bonuses to students. Who would run away!
Miao Le on the side scratched his neck with his paws and continued to surf the Internet.
Recently, my cultivation level has reached the third level of the Golden Body, with a strength of 30,000 kilograms. I don’t know why I suddenly started losing hair, and I feel itchy from time to time, which is very annoying.
Jh662: "Brothers, I have about 5 or 6 bottles of drinks a day, and I basically drink them as water. Will I get sick if I do this?"
Miao Le's eyes lit up.
Happy No. 5001: “Brother, send me the address. I’ll go have a dinner in a few days!”
Jh662:......
What? I thought to myself: "Brothers, let me ask a question. If I have no children, I will die of old age! If no one burns paper for myself, will I die of poverty down there?"
Happy No. 5002: "Wouldn't you work down there if you have hands and feet? (Dog Head)"
Qi Tongwei next to him looked speechless. It was too miserable to have to work down there even after he died.
"Hey, Brother Le, why haven't I seen you playing with An An recently? She told me yesterday that you had ignored her for a long time!" Qi Tongwei asked curiously.
Miao Le's hair instantly exploded: "Meow!"
Don't mention that Hua Guduo of yours to me! He is an old cat of several decades, and yet he was deceived and deceived.
What about morality?
Qi Tong was so happy that he didn't expect that there would be someone in this world who could punish Brother Le. The key is that this person turned out to be his daughter.
A moment of comfort.
Miao Le looked at the shovel officer smiling so happily and fell into deep thought.
Is the shit shovel drifting away, or is he unable to lift his claws?
The air solidified instantly!
Qi Tongwei instantly sat upright and said with dignity: "Brother Le, I was wrong! I will go to the bookstore to bring an exercise book to An An when I get back from get off work tonight!"
Miao Le put down his golden tail, retracted his sharp claws, jumped up and disappeared into the house, going out to relax, not being too lazy to shovel shit.
Ten minutes later, after confirming that Brother Le had left, Qi Tongwei carefully collected the few golden hairs left on the table.
I can make a few more gems and give them away!
When you become a father, you naturally have to be diligent and thrifty to take care of the family.
...
Hong Kong Island, Xiaoqin Financial, conference room.
"Successful!" Gao Xiaoqin sat in the office with a long-lost smile on her face.
With the federal subprime mortgage crisis, the finances of many countries are in extremely difficult situations, and housing and land prices have basically dropped by half.
She used cross-holding methods to covertly control a bankrupt company: the Hudson's Bay Company for US$2 billion. There was nothing special about this company, but it belonged to Canada, and
Own the development rights and ownership of an island.
Devon Island, Canada, the second largest island in the Parry Islands.
It is also the largest uninhabited island in the world, covering an area of approximately 55,000 square kilometers. The island has the Horton Crater formed at the end of the Oligocene Epoch. It is located at 75 degrees north latitude, very close to the magnetic North Pole, and the weather is very cold.
Even in summer, the temperature rarely exceeds 10 degrees Celsius, and the temperature in winter can reach -50 degrees. Located in the Arctic Circle, less than 1,600 kilometers from the North Pole, the island is barren and has almost no vegetation. The climate is extremely cold and dry. Its surface is
Covered by rock ridges, valleys and craters.
These are similar to the surface of Mars, so this is also known as "the place closest to the Martian environment on Earth."
The rugged and complex terrain; mottled gravel can be seen everywhere on the red soil; temperatures that are below freezing all year round; polar storms that appear and disappear; various rays penetrate the thin atmosphere and reach the surface.
Due to various conditions, no one except some scientific researchers and polar adventurers wants to come to this island.
But these are not problems for Star Technology.
According to Qi Tongwei's plan, this will be their second base. Within this year, the latest weather controller developed by Star Technology will be shipped there. By then, the island will be maintained below -60 degrees all year round.
Later, Hudson Bay will announce that the island will take five years to develop a tourist area, during which no one is allowed to visit unless they pay a huge visiting fee.
Later, on the surface, Hudson Bay commissioned a construction company from a third-party country to build related hotel and tourism projects. Secretly, Starry Sky Technology will use intelligent machines, intelligent robots and nanomachines to build its own real base under the island.
The entire construction process is fully handled by Star Technology's latest artificial intelligence Sanle. Through high-altitude satellites and neutrino communication, the robot construction can be remotely controlled directly through the geomagnetic field.
No one is directly involved in the construction process.
Humans are the most untrustworthy creatures. No matter how loyal they are, as long as the stakes are big enough, betrayal will definitely occur.
There are three main purposes for building this base.
First: the port for space exploration by Starry Sky Technology. A series of space exploration equipment will be launched from here in the future. If necessary, a space base in Mars orbit will be launched here, which will serve as a transfer station for deep space exploration spacecraft in the future.
Second: Create some necessary weapons and equipment to protect the island. If the island is discovered, it must have the power to deter others.
Third: retreat.
Although Qi Tongwei is now very popular in Handong and is very proud of himself. He is already an important member of the party at the age of just over 40 years old. Xiaoqin Finance and Xingkong Group are also very important super enterprises in the world, with dozens of people involved.
Thousands of people are employed and he manages the wealth of hundreds of wealthy families.
But nothing in this world is eternal. When the spring breeze is triumphant, the situation is well prepared, and when the situation is besieged on all sides, there is only a way out.
No enterprise is too big to fail, and being too big to fail is actually a threat. But when people are willing to endure the pain, there will only be one result: one whale falls, and all things survive.
Those former close allies might not hesitate to pounce on them one by one and tear them apart completely.
Gao Xiaoqin believes that with this island and the ability of her husband Qi Tongwei and Le Ge Gaga to kill indiscriminately, if something unexpected happens, their family will always have a way out.
...
Handong, Guangming District, Zhushan Street.
Qi Tongwei wore casual clothes and took Le Ge shopping at the stalls. From time to time he bought some snacks to eat. His daughter broke Le Ge's heart and he had to make up for it.
After walking around for a while, Qi Tongwei felt a little strange and waved, followed by Secretary Chen who was carrying something.
"Secretary Chen, I remember that the last time I came here was not on a holiday, and the place was crowded at that time. Although there is a financial crisis now, it has not had much impact on Jingzhou. Why are there obviously fewer people going shopping to buy clothes and shoes now.
"
Secretary Chen put down a pile of melon seeds, peanuts, raisins and cut cakes in his hand, took out a notebook from his heavy arms, flipped through a few pages and explained: "One is because the financial crisis has made people very scared and they dare not spend money randomly.
money; the other is because of the recent rise of Taobao e-commerce, which allows customers to buy clothes from all over the country without leaving home with the help of Star Logistics covering the whole country."
"The key is that these clothes are cheap and the quality is not as good as those in stores, so people go out to buy clothes a lot less."
Qi Tongwei fell into deep thought.
This online business does not have the rental cost of a physical store, nor does it need to pay various property, fire, and safety management fees. In addition, it sells a lot, so it can make a lot of money even if the profit is low.
If this development continues, there will only be one result. Unless the shop is purchased by oneself, most physical stores will be unable to compete and close down.
But this result was not what he wanted to see, because when he was shopping just now, he noticed that many of the small stall owners were women and old people who could not make a living. These people had no education, did not understand the Internet at all, and did not know anything about the Internet.
If you dare to venture into an unfamiliar environment, you will definitely be eliminated by the market in the end.
Although it is inevitable that these uninnovative stalls will be eliminated as the times change, he hopes it will not happen so quickly, and at least give ordinary people some buffering time.
"How much was the total income from these stall management fees, fire safety fees and sanitation management fees last year? What is the proportion of Jingzhou's fiscal revenue?" Qi Tongwei asked after thinking for a while.
Secretary Chen was stunned for a moment, flipped through his notebook, then raised his head and said confidently: "I don't know!"
