Chapter 1082 The Means of Transferring Targets

Yang Liu rolled her eyes and said, "You should have guessed that it was your handwriting. When we were watching movies in the provincial capital, you were dishonest." Even though she was no longer a little girl, Yang Liu was still a little shy when thinking about what happened back then. Liu Jian smiled indifferently. This was what he wanted to do, but unfortunately he couldn't say it with great fanfare. If others knew that it was the richest man in China who was messing around in the movie theater, he didn't know what kind of trouble would be caused. "Aren't you going to the company?" Yang Liu asked. Liu Jian sighed and said: "After meeting Ma Huatong, I will go to the capital. CCTV has urged me several times. If I don't go, someone will be angry. I, a young bird, can't hide." Yang Liu said worriedly: " Will it be all right? The tradition of our country is to shoot the first bird, I am really worried about you." Liu Jian put his arm around Yang Liu's waist and said: "Don't worry, it's okay, now I am the main publicity target, there are not many Personally, I don’t have eyes, so I’m here to deal with me at this time. Besides, I’m not that easy to provoke, but I really have to do something to divert my limelight.” Yang Liu hurriedly asked: “Is there any good way? Need me What to do?" Liu Jian shook his head and said, "You don't need to come forward, I have already arranged someone, and something big will happen in a short time." Yang Liu looked at Liu Jian suspiciously, not knowing what he was planning. You know it's not a good thing just by looking at it. This incident happened just as something that shocked the United States and affected the stock markets all over the world happened. As early as when the lucky yacht arrived in Hong Kong and caused a global sensation, Liu Jian felt that the limelight was too much, and he needed to do something to divert his limelight. I called and reported the recent profitability of the venture capital company. "You said we hold shares in WorldCom?" Liu Jian asked in surprise. WorldCom, the second largest long-distance telephone company in the United States and the largest Internet provider in the world, has been playing the trick of small fish eating big fish, and has been favored by countless investors on Wall Street. Ji Haoran is not immune, and also invested some funds in it In just a few years, the original several million has now exceeded 100 million yuan according to the market value of the shares. You must know that at this time, WorldCom's assets are 200 billion US dollars after all, and it is a real behemoth. Ji Haoran said: "Yes, we have held the shares of WorldCom for many years. According to the evaluation of investors, the stock price of WorldCom may continue to rise. I would like to give it a try and see if we should continue to invest more." "Are you kidding, of course you can't chase after him." Liu Jian said. If I remember correctly, WorldCom will go bankrupt in a short period of time, causing a series of turmoil. A company with a market value of nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars has turned into a small company with only more than 300 million U.S. dollars overnight. The company, all of this happened so quickly, it was puzzling where all the money went, triggering countless versions, Liu Jian didn't want his money to be wasted. "Haoran, quickly throw away the shares of WorldCom, and don't keep any of them." Liu Jian ordered. Ji Haoran was a little strange. For so many years, he rarely heard Liu Jian sell a company's stock so resolutely. Except for the investment made by Liu Jian himself, Liu Jian rarely intervened in other investments of venture capital companies. What happened this time? "Boss, is there any problem with this company?" Ji Haoran asked. Liu Jian sneered and said, "The problem is serious. You should do as I said first. After the sale is over, I'm expressing your next plan. I need to think about it carefully." The company's shares were all released, because WorldCom was still favored, and these shares were divided up by the market without even a wave. Considering that the boss has never made any mistakes, Ji Haoran cautiously sold the shares of WorldCom that he owned. When Liu Jian set off to return to China, someone in the United States had already reported WorldCom's fraudulent accounts. Anyway, this incident was destined to happen, and Liu Jian did not feel any guilt. According to Liu Jian's prediction, in the past few days, there will be a surge of wind and clouds in the United States. At that time, many people's eyes will be attracted to him, and he will not be so concerned. After get off work, Liu Jian asked Ma Huatong to have dinner at a local restaurant in Shanghai, and when he was researching the next development direction of Liu's Internet Group, the bankruptcy case of WorldCom broke out that shocked the world. A few days ago, someone reported the news of WorldCom's fraudulent accounts, but it did not attract much attention. There were too many such reports, and every company encountered a few cases. In the end, there was no evidence, and the turmoil subsided little by little. Shareholders thought it was the same this time, so no one took it seriously. But this time is different, with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announcing an investigation into WorldCom's past mergers and the company's huge $366 million loan to President Bernard Ebbers, WorldCom is in complete chaos , In just a few days, Ebbers resigned sadly. Who knew that this was just the beginning of the turmoil, and then the fake accounts broke out one after another. By this time, the matter could no longer be concealed. WorldCom's stock price began to fall all the way, from more than 60 US dollars to more than 30 US dollars, and it is still falling, which is unacceptable. What they don't know is that in a few days, it will drop to a few dollars. To such a degree that countless investment institutions and individuals lost everything. Liu Jian chatted with Ma Huatong for a while, and Ma Huatong's phone kept ringing. After talking a few words, Ma Huatong hung up hastily, with a slight sadness on his face. "What's the matter, Brother Ma, have you encountered any difficulties?" Liu Jian asked.

Ma Huatong shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that some friends in the United States have problems with their investments, and they're going to go bankrupt if they don't." "WorldCom Company?" Liu Jian said. Ma Huatong nodded, and was not surprised that Liu Jian knew about this, because today is the scandal of WorldCom Corporation all day long, and the Chinese news media finally caught the painful foot of the United States. Even if the media and investors are not optimistic about this company, they have never thought about the bankruptcy of WorldCom. After all, WorldCom's name is too big. "Brother Ma, if you're new to me, ask your friend to sell the stock immediately. I got news that WorldCom may declare bankruptcy." Liu Jian said. If others say that, Ma Huatong must think that the other party is talking nonsense. You must know that WorldCom is the second largest long-distance telephone company in the United States, with tens of millions of paying customers, how could it possibly go bankrupt.

But seeing Liu Jian's serious words, Ma Hua's painful heart trembled. "Mr. Liu, you said WorldCom will go bankrupt?" Ma Hua said painfully. Liu Jian nodded and said: "Sure, think about how much the stock price of WorldCom has evaporated. Even if it doesn't go bankrupt, when will it return to the original stock price? If you can sell it, sell it quickly. This is not the era of TV dramas. If it can't go up It’s gone.” After returning home, Ma Huatong called his friend. Although the friend didn’t believe Liu Jian’s judgment, considering that the stock price was still falling, he didn’t wait and sold most of it. On the day Liu Jian set off for the capital, WorldCom filed for bankruptcy protection, triggering wailing in the market. Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and other Asian stock markets plummeted, and this is still relatively less affected. The major financial centers such as the United States and Europe are even more at risk of falling, which can be described as slumping. Just as Liu Jian guessed, the eyes of the whole world were attracted by the bankruptcy of WorldCom, and everyone was discussing how a company with a market value of hundreds of billions became a company with a market value of hundreds of millions in a short period of time. . Ji Haoran was in a cold sweat looking at it, he didn't know if there was the shadow of his boss behind it, but it left a brand on him, everything the boss said was right, and he had to do everything the boss told him to do. Liu Jian didn't care about other people's life or death. The American stock-only speculation would cause trouble sooner or later. He just postponed what happened a few months later. My goal was also achieved, no one looked at this rich man in the east, and no one discussed that yacht, Liu Jian returned to the capital quietly in a peaceful state.
