Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 596 596. Field research
Dong Qiangqiang sat alone at the table by the window in the restaurant, flipping through Qu Shan's political notes restlessly, but his mind was full of thoughts.After reading for a long time, I couldn't read a paragraph of text, so I just closed my notebook, looked at the pedestrians and vehicles on the street with my chin resting, and let myself be in a daze.

The matter of Lao Bai seemed to be a stubborn stone in his heart, which made him absent-minded about other things. In addition to attending classes, he usually hunted, and he was silent a lot.

From a biological point of view, human suffering is mostly related to growth, and growth will run through the whole life of human beings, which means that pain will also accompany people's life.After six months in Germany, the pain caused by growing up often came and faded away silently, which made him panic and hesitate at times.

Just when he was lost in thought, snowflakes floated in the hazy sky again.It may be because the outdoor temperature is not low, the snowflakes melted as soon as they hit the ground, and the road surface became muddy after a while.

Dong Qiangqiang was awakened from his thoughts by the regular ringing of the bell on the roof of the railway station. He looked in the direction of the big clock, and it was exactly 12 o'clock.

Dong Qiangqiang put away those chaotic and complicated thoughts and forced himself to re-invest in the review.There was no class for two weeks, and there were already many things in his political notes that he couldn't understand.Sure enough, learning still needs to review the past and learn the new every day, otherwise it will be like sailing against the current, if you do not advance, you will retreat.

Another 20 minutes passed without knowing it, and Dong Qiangqiang was gradually able to read some of it.

A big red Mercedes-Benz sports car stopped behind Dong Qiangqiang's pickup truck outside the barbeque restaurant with a "crack".

The sound of sudden braking caught Dong Qiangqiang's attention. He looked up and followed the sound and looked out the window, only to see the two headlights of the sports car extinguished suddenly, and the streamlined door slowly opened. A young man with curly hair, sunglasses, a red scarf and a brown leather jacket He jumped out of the car with a vigorous figure, and walked into the barbecue restaurant quickly.

Looking at Duanmu standing in front of him and shaking off the snow from his shoulders, Dong Qiangqiang didn't recognize him.

"Why do you still have this car now?" Duanmu pointed at Dong Qiangqiang's pickup truck with the bright silver car key in his hand, "Volkswagen's stock has gone up and down, have you lost or gained?"

After Dong Qiangqiang bought the public stock in the first half of the year, the stock price plummeted. It fell to the bottom on 911. After lying at the bottom for a week, it slowly slowed down from October, and it climbed back to Dong Qiangqiang’s stock price in early December. Near the buying price, it does not rise or fall.However, the public put option he bought to hedge against the risk of stock decline was invalid because the stock price was higher than the exercise price stipulated on the face of the option, and the option could not be exercised. fee.But this result was within his expectation, and he had paid the tuition fee and listened to it, and slowly entered the mountain gate of stocks and options.

Dong Qiangqiang didn't like to talk about his wealth in public, so he said indifferently: "What do you have to talk about in person?"

"Bian's head office has been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. I sent you an email address for the stock code a few days ago."

"Oh, I haven't checked my email much recently." Dong Qiangqiang explained, "How is the company doing?"

"German investment institutions are generally more cautious about newly listed companies, let alone foreign companies, so there is currently no transaction volume and no financial derivatives."

The waiter put the coffee and steak Duanmu ordered on the table.

Looking at Dong Qiangqiang's slightly sallow complexion, Duanmu said with concern: "I haven't seen you in two months, buddy, you look a bit haggard."

Dong Qiangqiang also studied the car when he bought a car before. Knowing that the price of this car in Duanmu is between 3 and 4 marks, he immediately changed the subject and praised: "Your car is very beautiful."

"Thank you." Duanmu turned his head and looked at the sports car outside the window, his face was full of joy of harvest, "This is a Christmas gift I gave myself in advance, although Christmas hasn't come yet."

Dong Qiangqiang knew that many people who make money have the desire to show off, so he asked empathetically, "Have put options made money?"

"Hey, (earned) less than 10 marks, not worth mentioning." Although he said it was not worth mentioning, Duanmu smiled like a flower.

What Dong Qiangqiang didn't know was that Duanmu's investment of 24 marks eventually brought back nearly 36 marks.In other words, his gross profit was close to DM 12, and after excluding the 25% capital gains tax, there was still a net profit of DM 9, which can be said to be a complete victory.

After the greetings were over, Duanmu got straight to the point: "Actually, I'm looking for you today mainly to help you register an investment fund company."

Dong Qiangqiang had already guessed this point, nodded and said: "No problem, you should prepare the materials first."

"I've prepared all the materials." Duanmu took out a folder from his bag, took out stacks of documents from it, spread them out in front of Dong Qiangqiang, and handed Dong Qiangqiang a signature pen, "The lawyer has already read it. These are the standard agreements of investment companies, you just need to sign on the last page of all the agreements, and I will transfer the money to you later.”

"So many (documents)?" Dong Qiangqiang roughly glanced at the content, "I need to take it back and read it all before I can sign it."

"Can't you sign now?" Duanmu pushed the pen again.

"You have to let me understand such a big matter, right?" Dong Qiangqiang said calmly.

"Reasonable request." Although Duanmu was surprised, he still agreed with a smile, "I don't want to rush you, but I'm leaving Germany next week, so you need to hurry up."

"Go back to China for the New Year?" There are less than three weeks until 2002, and Dong Qiangqiang knows that someone has already started to book a ticket to go back to China.

"Not going back to China," Duanmu skillfully divided the roasted steak with a knife and fork, "going to America."

"America? You don't go to work?"

"I went to America because of work." Duanmu took a sip of his coffee, "Do you still remember the company that audited Enron?"

"You mean Andersen?" The name has long been engraved in Dong Qiangqiang's mind, "What's wrong with it?"

"After the Enron incident, in addition to researching Enron, our company also made a list of all listed companies that hired Arthur Andersen for audit in the past two years. As a result, we really followed the old saying, pull out the radish and bring in the mud. We just passed After reviewing the list, another listed company in the United States was involved. According to public information, Global Crossing paid Arthur Andersen a total of 230 million US dollars in financial audit fees last year. This figure is nothing, but it makes us feel that Interestingly, the consulting fee it paid Andersen was nearly 6 times the audit fee, and the same thing also appeared in Enron's financial statements." Duanmu ate while talking, and a large piece of steak was left in the blink of an eye. A few bones came down.

"You mean that Global Crossing also has financial fraud?" Dong Qiangqiang felt unbelievable, and teased, "Isn't the US capital market very perfect and well-regulated? Why are there so many fraudulent companies? You just happened to discover them all?"

"Whether it's a scam company or not can't be judged by just sitting in the room and analyzing various reports. You have to go over there to see it with your own eyes. The United States conducts field research."

"Did you go to the United States to do field research?" Dong Qiangqiang probably knew the meaning of this word, "Then why didn't you go to their company to check when you bought the put option of Munich Re before?"

"At one time and another, I was still wild at that time. Isn't this learning the formal process now?" Duanmu put away his smile, "Besides, Munich Re is not a financial fraud, but a decline in income, which is different from the cunning Uncle Sam. Our company After buying the stock of Global Crossing, I can go to their company as a minority shareholder to investigate and understand its specific production and sales. Of course, we will also collect the information we want to know through other channels.”

"So you are anxious to set up an investment company as soon as possible, just want to short this Global Telecom as soon as the conditions are ripe?" Dong Qiangqiang has been in contact with Duanmu for a long time, and Dong Qiangqiang understands the other party's thoughts very well.

A cunning light flashed in Duanmu's eyes, he calmly pushed the file folder on the table in front of Dong Qiangqiang, tapped the folder with his index finger and said: "If this (investment company) can be successfully registered before the end of December, At the same time, Global Crossing is really as bad as I researched, or even worse than I thought, then both of us may earn our first pot of gold."

"Didn't you already earn it?" Dong Qiangqiang asked suspiciously, "Your put option."

"The first pot of gold is more than that small amount of money," Duanmu looked forward to the future excitedly, "it refers to the first million in your life, and we will buy cars that are ten times better than mine. worthy."

Dong Qiangqiang suddenly had a thought, and a thought came out vaguely from the bottom of his heart. "Will you go to New York when you go to America?"

"Well, I will definitely go. After all, the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are both in New York. Are you busy?" Duanmu asked.

"Well, let's talk about it when you get there." Dong Qiangqiang replied thoughtfully.

The two chatted casually for a few more words, and Duanmu left in a hurry.

Dong Qiangqiang cast his eyes out of the window. Amidst the roar of the engine, the red sports car disappeared at the corner of the street, and the small snowflakes that had been floating just now had unknowingly turned into heavy snowflakes, rolled in the howling north wind, blowing to distance.
