Our Rise Era

Chapter 156: Crazy world, crazy people! (rd update, words!)

"Boss Ma, good news, we have achieved our strategic goals in the first phase!"

"The total sales of our [mobile phone brand] in [Xiaomi Mall] is close to the total sales of [BaoTao.com] in the past two months!"

"If domestic copycat mobile phones can continue to make progress, we have the hope that in the first quarter of 09, we will surpass Baotao.com in sales and reach our first milestone..."

"At the same time, because of Mr. Zhang's [News Broadcast] and this "shocking gambling incident", we invested a huge amount of traffic support..."

"The number of registered users of our [Xiaomi Mall] officially exceeded 30 million yesterday!"

"The number of daily active users has risen to around 600 million, most of whom are in the mobile phone field..."

"During the same period, the number of registered users of Baotao.com was 90 million! The gap between us and them is getting smaller and smaller!"

"..."

2 month 18 day.

【XunTeng Technology】.

Ma Xunteng was sitting on a chair at this moment, paying attention to the data of [Xiaomi Mall].

As Zhang Yang won this huge gamble and even appeared on the "News Broadcast", the data of "Xiaomi Mall" has been skyrocketing during this period.

On February 2, the number of registered users exceeded 16 million for the first time!
Ma Xunteng nodded, feeling very happy.

This is nearly a year from 08 to now. After investing so much manpower and resources, we finally see the dawn of hope in the field of e-commerce.

After a brief moment of relief, Ma Xunteng looked at the secretary again: "What has Zhang Yang been doing recently? Why is there no sound?"

"boss Zhang……"

When the secretary heard this, a daze flashed across his face, and then he looked at Ma Xunteng: "According to my latest news, since Mr. Zhang won this gamble, he has done some abnormal things..."

"What's unusual?"

"On the surface, the new energy subsidy is about to come, and Zhang Yang will be able to realize strategic subsidy profits, but these past two days, he seems to have gone crazy, running to the four major banks almost every day..."

"doing what?"

"loan!"

"loan?"

When he heard this, Ma Xunteng was a little confused.

Then he frowned and fell into deep thought.

"In fact, Mr. Zhang not only took out loans himself, but also asked those around him to take out loans together. There was also Xu Yunlong, who made "copycat phones". He also started to mortgage his business license and factory and took out loans..."

"Oh?"

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

"Zhang Yang seems to be even poorer. Now he not only takes out loans, but also seems to be borrowing money in various ways... I have heard some of the reasons for borrowing money. He said that he needs the money to do something big... Our analysis team guessed that he might want to invest more money in the field of [photovoltaics] and place a bigger bet!"

"No, no!"

Ma Xunteng shook his head.

After taking Zhang Yang's analysis materials, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

He always had a very strange idea, that is, Zhang Yang's loans and borrowings would make it impossible for him to invest in projects in the photovoltaic field.

[Photovoltaic field] Although the country now supports and assists, this is a very long-term layout. In the short term, it is difficult to see results all at once, and it takes a process to get back the investment and achieve profitability.

Zhang Yang's bet on the photovoltaic field seemed to be profitable, but in fact, Ma Xunteng felt that Zhang Yang was achieving a class advancement and more of a social status.

Or……

What they want is a "pass" issued by the state.

Now that Zhang Yang has obtained the "pass", he has achieved his goal and it is impossible for him to invest again.

But if he doesn't invest in this, then what should he do? Why is he so short of money in the short term? What other projects should he invest in?
Are they really going to spend money on some research and development?
It's impossible, it's impossible. Spending money on research and development will only result in lower benefits in the short term and will lead to an investment bottomless pit. The so-called research and development can only support the upper limit of the enterprise when the enterprise achieves positive profit stage. Otherwise, it will be a dead end!

Zhang Yang can't be so stupid!

So……

Just when Ma Xunteng fell into deep thought, his private phone suddenly rang.

Ma Xunteng answered the phone.

"Hey?"

"Boss Ma, are you in the company?"

"Yes... Mr. Zhang, what are you doing..."

"Oh, I'm downstairs in the company. Can I come in and talk to you?"

"Ok, Ok……"

"By the way, does our [Xun Teng Technology] have money now?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm a little tight on money lately, so I'd like to borrow some money from you. Can I pay the interest according to the bank?"

"You come up first."

"okay!"

After answering the call, Ma Xunteng looked at the phone with some confusion.

Why did this guy come to me to borrow money? Did he go to Macau to gamble?
Are you in debt to loan sharks?
impossible……

I have been following his movements recently. He has always been in the mainland and has not been to other places...

So……

Why am I suddenly so short of money?
................................................

Hangcheng.

The beautiful scenery of West Lake in March.

At this moment, although it is not yet March, the beauty of West Lake is already breathtaking.

Ma Yunqiang drank tea and listened to opera.

But his eyes were not focused on the beautiful scenery. Instead, he looked at the rippling lake and fell into deep thought.

On the table on the boat...

There is information about Zhang Yang's recent movements.

Blown by the wind, swaying in the wind.

The global financial crisis was coming in full force, and the [fake goods incident] prevented Jack Ma's [Ali Langlang] from going public in the United States.

According to various estimates, this time will be postponed to at least after 2010.

Delaying the listing means delaying the strategic layout!

With the booming development of China's Internet, Jack Ma has a growing sense that an uncontrollable variable is spreading all around him.

"Zhang Yang is borrowing money everywhere?"

"Yes."

"You mean, now he has already gone to [Xun Teng Headquarters] to ask Ma Xun Teng to borrow money?"

"Although I don't know how the conversation went, according to our people at Xun Teng Technology's headquarters, Zhang Yang now has only one request from Ma Xun Teng, and that is to borrow money..."

"..."

Ma Yunqiang rubbed his swollen temples, staring at the lake, and fell into deep thought.

Over the years, from the time he started his business to the present day, apart from paying attention to the movements of major capitals, he has never paid such serious attention to a young man in his early twenties.

What this guy did seemed to be unorthodox, but he always gave him a feeling that he was a prophet.

The habits and intuition he had developed over the years told him that Zhang Yang was definitely going to do something when he borrowed money this time.

But Ma Yunqiang doesn’t know what to do specifically.

"Continue to pay attention to Zhang Yang..."

"it is good!"

The surface of West Lake is rippling, reflecting the setting sun.

Under the orange-red reflection, Ma Yunqiang's boat slowly rowed to the door of the villa in the distance.

Ma Yunqiang, who was about to get off the boat, saw his secretary answer a phone call.

After answering the phone...

The secretary had a look of astonishment on his face.

When he noticed this scene, Ma Yunqiang frowned.

"what happened?"

"Boss Ma, the call is from Zhang Yang..."

"Oh?"

"Zhang Yang said he wanted to call you..."

“Okay.” Ma Yunqiang was stunned for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and answered the call.

After the call is connected.

"Mr. Ma..."

"boss Zhang?"

"Mr. Ma, how much money do you have now?"

"Mr. Zhang, what do you want to do?"

"Lend me some money. I'll give you the same interest rate as the bank. Hmm, a little higher than the bank's?"

"Zhang Yang, you came to me to borrow money!"

"Boss Ma, we don't have any deep hatred, so why can't I ask you for a loan? Business is business, and human feelings are human feelings..."

"I have no favors to offer you!"

"You can't say that. We are strangers, but we are familiar with each other. I think you are very familiar and I feel very close to you. If you have a daughter, I would like to call you father-in-law..."

"Fashionable!!!"

As Zhang Yang's words on the phone became more and more outrageous, Ma Yunqiang's face suddenly turned dark.

He felt that this guy came here just to irritate him.

After hanging up the phone...

Ma Yunqiang returned to the villa.

After calming down and thinking carefully about Zhang Yang's recent abnormal behavior and borrowing money everywhere, he was suddenly stunned!
Immediately afterwards...

He called his secretary immediately.

"In the next two days, you must pay attention to the financial market trends in the United States!"

"You must report promptly what strategies they will come up with to deal with the financial crisis!"

"..."

................................................

"Fat!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang..."

"Have you seen all those battery car factories, TV factories, refrigerator factories, etc. that I asked you to see?"

“I’ve seen it…”

"But, Mr. Zhang, are we sure we want to use all the borrowed money and investment money to do these things?"

“All in!”

"..."

2 month 20 day.

The earth is gradually getting warmer.

The first round of review of the photovoltaic industry by relevant Chinese departments has released results.

The review documents have been approved and the process is now going through. Once the process is completed, the subsidy amount will be allocated.

at the same time……

Because it was featured in the [News Broadcast] and has official endorsement, the future of the [photovoltaic industry] is still very embarrassing.

But loans from the country's four major banks have also been coming in one after another.

During this time...

Fatty Yuan watched helplessly as Zhang Yang expanded the "financial leverage" through various industries.

Each of the four major banks loaned around 200 million RMB, for a total of 800 million!
At the same time, after getting the loan, Zhang Yang did not stop borrowing money.

In fact, he was crazy, asking for millions, tens of millions, and borrowed more than 400 million yuan from people he knew, familiar with, or unfamiliar with, including Ma Xunteng...

The interest rate is even much higher than that of the bank!

Such crazy behavior has made Fatty Yuan terrified, as if he had returned to the year 07...

In order to invest in stocks, they went around borrowing money from relatives and friends, even from loan sharks.

……

On the morning of July 2.

Fatty Yuan looked at Zhang Yang with complicated eyes.

Zhang Yang, on the other hand, took out a list of investments.

"Big, small, slightly reliable, and investable, invest in all of them!"

"but……"

When Fatty Yuan saw the investment list, he was stunned.

TV, refrigerator, electric car...

Damn it!

Why should we invest in these messy industries?
"Don't ask. Just invest as soon as possible. We'll use our money to attack people now..."

"Well! Good!"

....................................

2 month 21 day.

Just when Zhang Yang was borrowing money frantically.

Suddenly, a piece of news appeared in the United States, across the ocean.

[The U.S. Congress has decided to solve the global financial crisis in three steps: the first step is to inject $9 billion into the nine most important banks in the U.S. financial system and provide government guarantees for new securities they issue in the coming months. The second step is to inject another $1250 billion into the remaining nearly 700 small banks. The third step is to provide individual rescues to some financial giants in deep trouble...]

The content of the news was very simple. After several meetings of Congress, various rescue plans for the [financial tsunami] caused by the [credit crisis] were finally announced publicly.

This three-step quantitative rescue plan...

Some people were a little confused.

However, many investors, including Jack Ma...

Suddenly I realized something!

That is!
The Fed has announced three rounds of quantitative easing in a row. The purpose is very clear, that is, to use the power of the dollar hegemony to start a flood mode and expand the Fed's balance sheet to five times the peak before the crisis...

What direct consequences will this incident lead to?
The consequences are simple!
That is……

The era of global inflation!
Coming soon…

This is an era of global inflation, if I could put it more clearly!
That is……

Next up!
The Americans are going to rely on the US dollar to reap the world's products!
..............................

business department.

Song Guifang also saw the news of the massive printing of US dollars.

After seeing the news, I immediately received a meeting notice from the leaders above.

At the meeting...

Everyone's expression was solemn. Everyone knew that the Americans were determined to make the world pay for this financial crisis.

China...

Nature is not immune.

Even if it is not handled properly, all the industries that China has built up in the market since the millennium will be changed overnight.

The situation has become more serious than ever before.

The conference started with the photovoltaic industry and radiated to the global market...

In this meeting, everyone put forward their own suggestions.

finally……

The leader summarized everyone's ideas and finally came up with a new strategy.

That is……

The outside needs to develop, and the inside needs to develop even more...

In order to deal with this financial crisis and for the subsequent industrial transformation...

The focus of projects in 09 and 10 should be on the domestic demand market.

"The electric vehicle market, home appliance market, and a series of other issues in second- and third-tier cities are currently in a very embarrassing situation!"

"If we can stimulate those markets and come up with corresponding strategies, then..."

"We can open the door to the 'internal circulation' and realize the external and internal economic dual circulation!"
