Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1310 Will Be Back

The idea of ​​cashing out at the peak of the internet boom or exploiting investors was not Dongling Hi-Tech's intention. It was simply a helpless move by Dongling Hi-Tech following Master Mo's suggestion that the internet industry was about to collapse.

Whether others believe it or not is beyond Dongling Hi-Tech's control. However, while Dongling Hi-Tech is cashing out online, its public statement is that everything is due to Mo Gaoliang's risk warnings!
"Professor Mo, after the reorganization of the new advisory committee of Dongling High-Tech is completed, you will still be a member of the advisory committee and one of the chief advisors of Dongling High-Tech!"

In the future, I hope that Professor Mo will also serve as the chief risk control consultant for Dongling Hi-Tech!

How could Li Dashanren possibly bear to let Mo Gaoliang, a strategic talent, leave?

Not only will he not let him leave, but Li Dashan also plans to continue to promote Mo Gaoliang, further solidifying his title as a top global financial academic talent.

Li Dongling intends to use this shield for decades to come. Not only will he be able to use it against the bursting of the dot-com bubble next year, but he will also be able to use it against the subprime mortgage crisis in America.

Moreover, it's a very useful card; you can just push the blame onto Mo Gaoliang!

Mo Gaoliang couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Li Dongling's words.

He came to Dongling High-Tech's global headquarters thinking that his position as an advisor was in jeopardy.

But who could have imagined that not only would the philanthropist Li want him to continue as an advisor to Dongling High-Tech, but he would also give him the title of chief risk control officer!
This means that Mo Gaoliang's salary, bonuses, benefits, and treatment will increase significantly.

Dongling Hi-Tech never uses fancy tricks for employee promotions or awards.

As long as you get promoted, your salary will definitely increase, and you'll also get a bonus if you receive an honor!

At that moment, Mo Gaoliang felt a pang of guilt, realizing that he had been judging others by his own petty standards.

The trust that Li Dashanren placed in him was simply beyond measure, yet he himself, out of concern for his reputation, dared not act as an advisor and failed to directly mention the risks of the internet to Li Dongling. Was he even human?
"Mr. Li!"

"I believe the internet is risky!"

Mo Gaoliang gritted his teeth and, in his capacity as an advisor to Dongling High-Tech, said to Li Dongling, "I cannot predict how long this abnormal frenzy on the internet can last!"

However, according to the laws of economics, the internet is currently unable to break these historical patterns, and the internet bubble is likely much larger than imagined!

Mo Gaoliang practically gritted his teeth as he spoke these words, knowing all too well the impact his words would have on his current position.

More importantly, if his words affect the development of Dongling Hi-Tech's internet business, then Mo Gaoliang would be a sinner against Dongling Hi-Tech.

But after hearing Mo Gaoliang's words, Li Dongling's expression became very serious. "Thank you, Professor Mo, for your risk warning about Dongling. Dongling Hi-Tech will make adjustments to its internet business!"
Dongling High-Tech will never forget everything Professor Mo did.

Mo Gaoliang nodded, and then as he was about to reach the door, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He said the internet industry is risky, but he didn't say that Dongling Hi-Tech should immediately adjust its internet business, did he?

But after leaving Li Dashanren's office, Mo Gaoliang stared at the closed office door for a moment, then stamped his foot and left.

After Mo Gaoliang left, Li Dongling tapped his fingers on the table.

Mo Gaoliang is a card we definitely need to play, but the key is when to play it.

If the cards are played too early, Dongling Hi-Tech may not have cashed out all its chips, leaving it stuck with them. Not to mention that projects like the Silicon Harbor project at Cyberport and the listing of China.com may also go down the drain.

It's too late to make the call, which is also bad. How can we let the outside world know that Dongling High-Tech is acting based on Master Mo's risk assessment?

Therefore, the timing is very delicate!
After Li Dongling made a phone call, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, and several others rushed to Li Dongling's office.

"Dongling Hi-Tech needs to accelerate its internet plans, especially its plans to list on platforms like China.com."

The Silicon Harbor project is expected to continue generating hype and boost Cyberport's share price.

However, Dongling Hi-Tech cannot stop cashing out its internet equity holdings; in fact, it must accelerate the process and complete the disposal by the end of this year.

As I've said before, Dongling Hi-Tech won't try to squeeze out the last penny!

Facing Ren Yuefeng and Hu Zixian, Li Dongling essentially laid bare his true intentions, no longer bothering to pretend; he simply didn't have a positive outlook on the internet market for the time being. "Also, release the information that Mo Gaoliang believes the internet bubble might burst!"
However, for now, the publicity should be limited to academic journals and other media outlets. Too much hype should be avoided until Dongling High-Tech has cashed out most of its shares in the internet company, at which point a full-scale campaign to promote Mo Gaoliang's bearish view on the internet industry will begin!

Ren Yuefeng listened to Li Dongling's words and exchanged a glance with Hu Zixian. They had a strange sense of familiarity with Li Dongling's tactics.

Then I realized that this was exactly what Li the Philanthropist was doing before the Southeast Asian financial crisis.

However, what puzzled Ren Yuefeng and Hu Zixian was that they didn't know whether this was Li Dashanren's decision or Mo Gaoliang's suggestion.

Although outsiders are praising Mo Gaoliang, Ren Yuefeng and other senior executives at Dongling High-Tech are well aware of the truth.

They didn't really believe that Mo Gaoliang's insight was that sharp; on the contrary, Ren Yuefeng and the others had truly witnessed Li Dashan's insight.

"But this will likely cause setbacks for projects like Cyberport and Silicon Harbor!"

Ren Yuefeng pondered for a moment and said, "If Dongling High-Tech were to create hype and withdraw from the internet industry, and if the internet industry were to undergo a major transformation, then the Cyberport and Silicon Harbor projects would inevitably be affected, or even suffer a severe blow, or even face the risk of complete collapse."

Shaking his head, Li Dongling sighed and said, "Nothing in this world can be achieved overnight. Every industry goes through the stages of starting up, growing, expanding, and declining. This process will repeat itself several times before finally reaching its peak!"

"Dongling Hi-Tech is not withdrawing from the internet industry, but rather making a strategic 'transfer'. Dongling Hi-Tech will return to the internet industry, and this may not be too long!"

Even the best boxers can't attack indefinitely; sometimes they need to retreat, conserve their energy, and then deliver the decisive punch to win the ring.

Li Dashanren said without batting an eye that he had never said that Dongling Hi-Tech was going to withdraw from the internet industry. He only said that it was a temporary withdrawal, and that Dongling Hi-Tech would come back to the internet industry when the time was right.

"The same applies to the Cyberport and Silicon Harbour projects. We cannot expect them to succeed overnight. Any Cyberport investor who gives up easily when faced with difficulties is destined to be unable to weather the storm with Cyberport!"
Only investors who truly believe in Cyberport and the Silicon Harbor project, and are willing to move forward with Cyberport through both troughs and booms, will ultimately reap the rewards!

As Cyberport and Silicon Harbor reach their peak, the ground beneath their feet is destined to be littered with bones; those who jump ship halfway through may become cannon fodder.

This is inevitable. No company can make money forever if someone buys its stock. Someone will definitely lose money. It's just that the people who took over Cyberport might lose a "slight" amount, maybe a "hundred million" bit more.

Ren Yuefeng couldn't imagine what would happen if Dongling Hi-Tech and Cyberport started to cash out, and those retail investors who bought Cyberport shares were caught in the internet crash!
……

Mo Gaoliang's bearish report on the internet industry first appeared in an academic weekly in Hanxi Province. This was a highly professional magazine aimed at the academic industry in Hanxi Province, but it was not directly accessible to the general public, so it did not cause much of a stir.

Over the next year, Mo Gaoliang's pessimistic view of the internet will gradually gain momentum and escalate until it becomes known to the world!

Since the beginning of the year, Dongling High-Tech has made quite a stir, both internally and externally.

Internally, significant funds were invested to hire international consulting firms, accounting firms, social science institutes, and several management experts to create a new Dongke 2.0 management system for Dongling High-Tech.

Once the Dongke 2.0 management system is implemented, Dongling Hi-Tech's internal management team will undergo a reshuffle, which is expected to happen every ten years to ensure the smooth operation of Dongling Hi-Tech's internal promotion system and prevent it from being blocked!

Instead of receiving news about new products from Dongling Hi-Tech, the outside world was told that Dongling Hi-Tech had spent $3.3 million to acquire six major lens manufacturers, including Hasselblad, Sigma, Tamron, Tokina, Rolleiflex, and Mamiya.

Subsequently, Dongling Hi-Tech announced the formation of a new subsidiary department to develop lens products.

Dongling Hi-Tech's sudden move has left outsiders and competitors puzzled, wondering what Dongling Hi-Tech is up to.

But no manufacturer would think that Dongling Hi-Tech is doing something useless. In the past few years, Dongling Hi-Tech has never made a move that was not worthwhile!
Just as the outside world was still speculating about what Dongling Hi-Tech was going to do with all those lens manufacturers it had acquired, news that shook the global music player and record market broke out: Feiyan Technology announced that it would hold a product launch event for the Feiyan 2nd generation MP3!
This news directly ignited the entire electronics industry. Last year, the Feiyan MP3 player emerged out of nowhere, directly opening up a new track and even indirectly causing the traditional record industry to suddenly enter a period of decline from its peak.

This year, Feiyan's second-generation MP3 player is about to be released. What kind of impact will it have on the electronics and record industries?
In any case, as soon as the news came out, the stock prices of companies such as EMI Records plummeted, clearly indicating that investors voted with their feet.

……

While all eyes and attention were on Feiyan Technology, a plane flew towards Pingyang Airport.

Amidst the strains of a guzheng melody, an announcement came over the airplane's loudspeaker.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our plane will land at Binh Duong International Airport in 30 minutes."

The current outdoor temperature in Pingyang is 12 degrees Celsius and 53 degrees Fahrenheit. The morning light bathes the Zhouyuan Plain, and bronze artifacts reflect a thousand years of history. The ancient capital of bronze ware welcomes guests from afar…
