Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1260 This Script Is Wrong
Zhang Rong was well aware of the risks he was taking. If he lost the gamble, he could very well drag Nanguo Investment Securities down with him!
In other words, even if Nanguo Investment can withstand the pressure and avoid bankruptcy this time, if it loses the gamble and the Dongling High-Tech concept stocks it bought fall into the status of junk stocks, then the entire Nanguo Investment will probably suffer a major blow.

But what if you win the bet?
Zhang Rong clenched his fist. With that, Nanguo Investment, which he controlled, would become the most profitable company in the domestic securities industry this year, without exception!

At that time, there will be plenty of big investors, even insurance companies and funds, who will invest their money in Nanguo Investment and beg Nanguo Investment to help them make money.

Zhang Rong will then become the most powerful figure in the domestic securities industry.

This is the difference between becoming a Buddha or a demon in a single thought. For Zhang Rong, this gamble was more like a matter of becoming a demon or going mad.

"I will report this to my superiors. Now all you need to do is carry out my orders!"

Zhang Rong issued orders to the senior executives of Nanguo Investment. The executives of Nanguo Investment exchanged glances, and they also felt that the risks were too great.

But a higher-ranking official can have absolute power. Before Pengcheng State-owned Assets, which controls Nanguo Investment, made its decision, as long as Zhang Rong wasn't kicked out, they had to follow his orders. Otherwise, they would be the ones to get out.

In an instant, the entire Nanguo Investment Group began to work busily. In addition to using its own cash flow, it also borrowed a lot of money from banks using its credit qualifications and began to sweep up stocks of Dongling High-Tech concept stocks in the A-share market.

……

"Who said I ran away?"

"I will not change my name or surname. If I dare to take the bet, I will not run away!"

"I did say that if Dongling Hi-Tech releases a new phone without PHS technology, and I lose, I will give a new Dongling Hi-Tech phone to everyone in that post!"

"However, the prerequisite is that the sales volume of Dongling High-Tech's new mobile phones can reach a quarter of the annual sales volume before the sale of Xiaolingtong!"

"I'd like to give everyone a Shenzhou Global Pass phone, but Dongling High-Tech won't give me that opportunity!"

At this moment, on Tianya Forum, Zhao Xiangsi, known as the number one leek in Sichuan and Chongqing, is using a Silver Sable membrane keyboard from Dongling High-Tech to frantically post on the forum.

In recent years, Dongling Hi-Tech's products, besides those well-known to the public, also include brands like Yindiao, which were among the earliest to make computer parts and components and have actually been very successful.

The mouse patent lawsuit that Yindiao filed back then was Dongling Hi-Tech's first battle after its establishment, and it was also the product that made Dongling Hi-Tech famous overnight.

To this day, Silver Sable remains the number one mouse brand in China, and has also launched other products such as Silver Sable keyboards.

Among them, Silver Sable membrane keyboards, thanks to their cost-effectiveness, are now one of the keyboard brands with the highest shipment volume both domestically and overseas.

To be honest, when Shenzhou Global Pass was first released, it really startled Zhao Xiangsi. If he lost the bet, he would have to give a Shenzhou Global Pass to each of the nearly one hundred people who posted that forum post.

Based on the domestic price of Shenzhou Global Pass, this device would cost nearly 650,000 yuan!
This is by no means a huge sum of money. Zhao Xiangsi's family is quite well-off, and he has a good job. If he pools his resources, he can come up with 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

But coming up with more than 600,000 RMB in cash at once would be really difficult.

After the initial shock, Zhao Xiangsi realized that he hadn't lost at all; it was just a false alarm. When Xiaolingtong was in the hands of Dongling High-Tech, its annual peak shipments once soared to 18 million units.

According to Zhao Xiangsi's bet, Shenzhou Global Pass sales must reach a quarter of Xiaolingtong sales that year for him to be considered to have lost. Otherwise, he would be dissatisfied and would not have lost. Who could do anything to him?
Based on its current performance, can Shenzhou Global Pass sell more than 450 million units?
After reading various news reports and analyses from experts and analysts, Zhao Xiangsi found that they were all pessimistic about the sales of Shenzhou Globalcom.

Even reaching the one million unit mark might be difficult for Shenzhou Global, let alone achieving sales of four and a half million units, which is considered by various experts to be an almost impossible sales target.

Since it was a false alarm and a game that was sure to be won, what did Zhao Xiangsi have to worry about? He was naturally back to full strength and became active again on the Tianya Forum, posting at a high intensity.

"I still stand by what I said: as long as the sales volume of Shenzhou Global Pass exceeds 4.5 million units, I will sell my house and car, take out loans, and spend my entire life paying off this debt in order to give away those 100 Shenzhou Global Passes!"

Zhao Xiangsi typed furiously on the keyboard.

Then, Zhao Xiangsi couldn't resist adding a sarcastic remark about the forum ID account he had previously argued with online: "The early bird catches the worm."

"But hey, don't forget the bet. If you lose, buy everyone in this post a mobile phone, then run naked around in front of Dongling High-Tech Company!"

"A real man keeps his word!"

Seeing the sarcastic comments constantly popping up on the computer screen, Wei Bo was so angry that he wanted to smash the screen, but then he remembered that this computer was a brand new Hasee 2nd generation computer he had bought this year, so he forced himself to hold back.

Wei Bo's ID on Tianya Forum was "The early bird catches the worm." Looking at the content on his computer screen, Wei Bo really wished he could invite Zhao Xiangsi out from behind the computer and have a real fight at Chaoyang Park in Yanjing to see who the real man was.

To Wei Bo's dismay, despite Zhao Xiangsi's constant mockery, he was truly powerless to do anything about it.

Shenzhou Global Pass sales fell short of expectations, so what can Wei Bo do?

"Don't worry, I will never break my promise!"

After uttering those words, Wei Bo immediately went offline.

Sitting blankly in front of the computer, Wei Bo thought about how he would not only lose money to buy phones for others, but more importantly, if he lost the bet, he would have to run around the Dongling High-Tech Company's gate. If he really ran away, he would probably be on the front page of the national news. Thinking of that scene, Wei Bo couldn't help but cover his face with his hand.

With a sigh, Wei Bo explained that his reason for betting on Dongling High-Tech to release a new mobile phone was related to his profession; he worked at a research institute.

The Dongling High-Tech Department, along with the Hanxi Joint Laboratory, has cooperative relationships with major research institutes across China.

Wei Bo's research institute focuses on research and development related to communication equipment, and Dongling High-Tech has also invested in it, with both sides having collaborative projects.

Although Wei Bo only participated in part of the project, it can be inferred that even though Dongling Hi-Tech sold Xiaolingtong, it did not give up the research and development of the mobile phone project, which made Wei Bo dare to gamble with Zhao Xiangsi.

What Wei Bo didn't expect was that while his judgment was correct—Dongling High-Tech did have a mobile phone R&D project—the sales of the new phone were far below expectations. Wei Bo felt that man proposes, God disposes...

The next day, Wei Bo was called to a meeting as soon as he arrived at the research institute, and what he heard at the meeting surprised him greatly.

"Our institute has received a new collaborative order. It's a project we're developing together with the Hanxi Joint Laboratory. Everyone needs to put in a lot of effort, especially the colleagues in the technical department!"
The Hansi Joint Laboratory projects have always received ample funding, which is crucial for everyone to have a good New Year.

Listening to the research institute director's words, Wei Bo was full of questions. Wasn't Shenzhou Global Communication not selling well? Why was Dongling High-Tech still investing heavily in research and development?

"Isn't Dongling Hi-Tech's Shenzhou Global Pass product not selling well?"

When the director of the research institute heard Wei Bo's sudden words, his face immediately darkened. It was only because Wei Bo's skills were passable that the research institute still needed his help. Otherwise, he would have had to send him away to gain some experience!

"This is nothing for you to worry about. The Hanxi Joint Laboratory has already paid the first installment!"

The research institute director glared at Wei An, telling him to shut his mouth. Luckily, the client wasn't there today, otherwise they probably would have withdrawn the cooperation on the spot.

Back in his office, holding the project materials for the research and development project, Wei Bo felt that something was amiss.

At lunchtime, Wei Bo took a bowl of rice and started eating while leaning on his computer desk. As he ate, he browsed websites such as Tianya Forum, China.com, and Sohu, scrolling through various news articles. A newly popped-up news article caught his attention.

"The 2G feature phone concept promoted by Shenzhou Global Communication has sparked heated discussions overseas. Time magazine regarded it as the innovative product of 1998, redefining the mobile phone!"

"New York Times reporter David Bolton claims that the Shenzhou Global Pass may not be the most perfect, but it is the most advanced and forward-thinking mobile phone in the industry in recent years."

Looking at these news reports, Wei Bo suddenly felt that Shenzhou Global's reputation overseas seemed to be exceeding domestic expectations.
Just as Wei Bo finished wolfing down his last bite and was about to shut down his computer and head to the lab, another news item popped up. This time it was a news report from Sina.com, which left Wei Bo speechless.

According to reports from Hong Kong media, Shenzhou Global has reached agency sales and contract phone agreements with several telecommunications companies, including China Telecom, Hong Kong Telecom, Siam Telecom, Telefónica, Telefónica, Vodafone, Telecom Italia, and American Pacific Bell!

Shenzhou Global Pass has received initial orders from telecommunications operators for over 420,000 units, with China Telecom and Hong Kong Telecom alone ordering over 160,000 units!

The string of numbers on the computer screen made Wei Bo feel dizzy. This sudden change of power made him feel a little dizzy.

……

"Luckily, I sold this rotten stock early, or I would have lost a fortune!"

"The stock price has fallen so much this week that it has almost wiped out all the gains from the previous few months."

“Teacher Xu, you have to accept your fate. You can’t go against the trend. That’s what you taught us. How come you’ve forgotten it now?”

"Yes, Professor Xu, the Dongling High-Tech concept stocks are not doing well now, it's best to sell them as soon as possible!"

Inside the lobby of the Sichuan First Stock Exchange, Xu Jiangwei listened to the cacophony of voices around him, including many that mocked him.

These people saw that things were not going well, so they dumped their shares in Dongling Hi-Tech and ran away.

Now, seeing Xu Jiangwei clinging to the continuously declining Dongling Hi-Tech concept stock, one can't help but feel a mix of schadenfreude and pride. Instead, one of the people advising Xu Jiangwei not to be so stubborn.

"I can still hold on!"

Xu Jiangwei forced a smile and said that he held shares in Jinyang Electronics. Although the stock price had also retreated by nearly 20%, he bought it early and the stock price had not yet fallen to his cost price.

"Little Xu," an experienced investor said to Xu Jiangwei in a tone of wisdom, though he used to call Xu Jiangwei "Teacher Xu" but now he called him "Little Xu," "The A-share market is too complex, you're still too young, and you might not be able to handle it."

"You have to have a sense of proportion. Some money isn't for you to earn. If you do earn it, you have to give it back. Take Dongling High-Tech concept stocks, for example. They've been rising for so many years, it's time for them to..."

Xu Jiangwei had just heard this and waited for a while, but he didn't expect what was to come next. He turned his head and saw that the person who had just spoken, as well as the people around him and the people in the trading hall, were all craning their necks to look at the big screen.

This scene surprised Xu Jiangwei, and he looked in the direction everyone was looking.

What caught Xu Jiangwei's eye was the Dongling High-Tech concept stock sector, which had just been on the verge of hitting the daily limit down, suddenly stretching out in an almost straight line, quickly turning red, and then rushing towards the daily limit up price!
