Spring City Automobile Group has made contributions to China's automobile industry.

Their brand new Dahongqi is on the market, and naturally they can invite big names from all over the world to participate.

Cao Yang, the designer, was also assigned a special stage stage.

In this kind of occasion where you are good to me and everyone is good to each other, Cao Yang will naturally not deny face.

"In terms of appearance, Dahongqi adopts a new design language, and the overall visual effect is more youthful and dynamic."

“From the front face, the large straight waterfall grille is very recognizable, and the LED daytime running lights connected to both sides of the front face stretch the visual width of the front face.”

“The center grille on the front of the car is a shield-shaped front grille, and the interior adopts straight waterfall-style decorative strips, which has a strong three-dimensional effect. Together with the sharp headlights on both sides, it not only stretches the visual width, but also enhances the sporty and technological atmosphere of the vehicle. feel."

"On both sides of the front of the car, there are also large-sized air guide grooves, which are decorated with chrome materials around them, which further enhances the luxury of the front of the car."

"The through-type vertically arranged taillights add a touch of retro elegance."

"From the side, the Dahongqi still has a very smooth and dynamic roof line. When combined with the large two-color sports wheels, the entire side looks very sporty."

"Dahongqi also adopts a 'double waistline' design, which also makes the body look more slender and majestic."

“The strong and thick waistline running from the front to the rear of the car shows that the car attaches great importance to strength, and the design of the large fastback makes the whole body more stable.”

"Also thanks to the 3-meter wheelbase, it goes without saying that the space in the rear row is excellent."

"The interior design is very particular, and the design of the steering wheel and instruments are very refined."

"The comfort of the seat is relatively good, and the support and wrapping of the body are very good."

"..."

Cao Yang boasted on the stage for fifteen minutes to save face, and he was considered a heavyweight guest on the night of the launch of Dahongqi.

Finally, when Zhu Zhengfeng personally came on stage to announce that the price of Dahongqi was 999,900, it aroused a new round of discussion.

This price is slightly higher than that of Ziweixing.

The average domestic independent brands are not even one-third of this price.

"Mr. Cao, what do you think is a big red flag? Can sales exceed 1,000 a year?"

As the editor-in-chief of Autohome, Yu Yu was naturally invited to participate in Dahongqi’s listing event.

And her position was specially arranged next to Cao Yang.

It is no secret that Autohome is a property of Nanshan Group.

Cao Yang didn't hide it anymore.

Anyway, Autohome has become a big success. If other car companies don’t want to be hacked every day, they can’t put any ads on Autohome.

"In the first two years, I thought it would be no problem to sell a thousand units a year."

"After all, with the influence of Spring City Automobile, there is still a way to capture part of the special official car market, and let some large state-owned enterprises purchase Dahongqi as reception vehicles."

“But it’s hard to say whether we can maintain this sales volume in a few years.”

"If we can continue to do a good job, then the high-end models of Hongqi sedan will be revitalized."

"On the other hand, it's just a flash in the pan and has no meaning."

Cao Yang's evaluation is relatively objective.

I brought the styling of the later Hongqi H9 to this era in advance, and combined with Nanshan Group's 3.0T twin-turbocharged engine and 8AT automatic transmission, this configuration is definitely leveraged.

Even the price of 999,900 is reasonable.

The power provided by Nanshan Group has been verified for a year, and at least there are no major problems.

If we can remain stable from now on, we will definitely have a bright future.

"That's true. I think Spring City Automobile Group has provided Hongqi Car with very sufficient resources this time."

"We even dispatched a group of personnel from Spring City Volkswagen Audi to work on the marketing of Dahongqi."

"It seems Zhu always had high hopes for it."

Yu Yu actually doesn't care that much about whether Dahongqi sells well.

However, this car was designed by her own boss after all, and she must pay full attention to it.

"One flower blooming alone is not spring. Having another domestic company producing luxury models is not necessarily a bad thing for us."

"Besides, with the level of people like Spring City Motors, I have never worried about any substantial impact or threat to Xingchen Motors."

"You, Autohome, just deal with people how you want to deal with them. You don't have to think about so many issues."

Cao Yang told Yu Yu so, and she would naturally implement it without compromise.

However, in this way, Dahongqi's reputation will completely rise in the next period of time.

The one in the domestic high-end official car market was Spring City Volkswagen Audi.

The Audi A6L they produce has almost monopolized 90% of the high-end official car market.

Now that Dahongqi has emerged, and it also brings Ziweixing with it, it will naturally have a direct impact on the sales of Audi A6L.

Audi, which relied on its official car status to gain a foothold in China, was naturally very anxious.

"Silva, I think the company should pay full attention to China's Xingchen Automobile."

"The Chinese market is one of the most important markets for Audi. The biggest threat to us right now is Xingchen Motors and the big red flag of the cooperation between Xingchen Motors and Spring City Automobile Group."

"In this case, we should stop Xingchen Automobile and use our advantages to confront them head-on."

Strauss, head of the Volkswagen Audi brand in Spring City, personally flew to Deutsche Wolfsburg to communicate with Volkswagen's chief designer Silva about the new model.

Having stayed in China for a long time, Strauss's views are definitely not exactly the same as those of Wolfsburg and others.

"The Xingchen Automobile you are talking about is the one that produced the Ziweixing and also collided with the Audi TT before?"

Silva was initially troubled by the Audi TT incident. So far, Audi TT's global sales have not returned to normal levels.

And all this is caused by Xingchen Automobile.

So he naturally knows something about this Chinese company.

"Yes, this is the company."

"Xingchen Auto now has two products. One is the Ziweixing you just mentioned, which is a five-seater coupe."

"There is also a large SUV that was just launched some time ago. It is a competitor to our Q7, but it is larger than the Q7."

"In China, the brand power of Xingchen Motors is slowly improving."

"They use various methods such as publicity and try their best to increase the popularity of Xingchen Motors."

"Now we are joining forces with Spring City Automobile Group to encroach on our official car market."

"If we don't give Xingchen Motors some color, then the Audi A6L will lose at least half of its market share in China's official car market in the future."

"As for the indirect sales impact, it is even more difficult to calculate."

When Strauss said this, Silva began to pay attention to it.

Audi's most profitable model in China right now is the A6L.

If its market is seized, Audi will definitely suffer heavy losses.

"Enterprises like Xingchen Automobile should also be favored by locals in China."

"Even if we want to give them some color, there's nothing we can do, right?"

When Silva said this, Strauss knew that the other party's heart was beginning to loosen.

"You're right. In China, it's not that easy for us to color the Xingchen cars."

"But in the final analysis, Xingchen Motors is able to achieve its current popularity because their two new models are powerful enough."

"Whether it's Ziweixing or Zhanwang, it's almost invincible among models of the same level."

Strauss did not simply disparage the Star Motors.

Sometimes, putting your competitors down too low is not necessarily a good thing.

The leader may not like it either.

"Strauss, what do you want to do? Just say it directly. This is not the first day we have met. There is no need to beat around the bush."

Silva saw Strauss talking for a long time, and he was still not sure what the other party wanted to do.

I couldn't help but butt in next to me.

"Silva, I think Audi should also launch a four-door sports luxury coupe to compete with Xingchen Motors' Ziweixing."

"Don't they use a 3.0T twin-turbocharged engine? We can do it too!"

"As for the 8AT automatic transmission, ZF and Aisin should be able to supply it now."

"The remaining configurations can be directly borrowed from the Audi A6 or A8."

"If we develop in this way, we can officially launch this new model in 2009, or even advance to the end of 2008."

"By then, our model will definitely bring very direct competitive pressure to Ziweixing in various countries around the world."

When Strauss said this, Silva fell into deep thought.

Various pictures related to Ziweixing began to appear in his mind.

He also likes the appearance of this model very much.

I feel that it simply doesn’t look like it was designed by the Chinese.

"I understand your plan."

"Compared with pure sports cars, coupes can cater to the family car market to a certain extent, which can expand the number of consumer groups, so in principle I agree to develop such a coupe model."

"However, further discussions and market research are needed within the company to confirm that this car really has market prospects before formal development can begin."

Silva quickly gave his answer.

With this direction in mind, Strauss chased Silva almost every day in the next few days, trying to grasp the situation of the new coupe.

This time, Audi moved very quickly.

Silva even took it upon himself to draw some sketches for the coupe.

"Silva, I'm going to make good use of this sketch to let some potential consumers in China see if they can wait for our new Audi models."

"Xingchen Automobile, a local private enterprise, definitely does not have as deep a foundation as Audi Automobile in all aspects."

"At that time, a group of Ziweixing consumers should give up their reservations and wait for our new models."

What Strauss thought was beautiful.

In fact, if there were no butterfly Cao Yang, the result would indeed be beautiful.

"I've given you the sketches, it's up to you how to use them."

"But you still have to pay due attention. I have heard that many automobile companies in China do a very poor job in protecting intellectual property rights."

"Don't forget that by then our products will not be mass-produced and installed on cars, but our competitors' products will have already replaced ours."

Silva said half-jokingly.

Strauss answered his question very carefully.

Soon, news about the Audi A7 began to appear on the Chinese Internet.

This coupe is claimed to be more luxurious and more dynamic than the A6L, and all data comparisons are directed at Xingchen Motors' Ziweixing.

A discerning person will naturally be able to see it right away.

"Editor Fang, this time Audi has actually taken the initiative to admit that its newly developed coupe is targeting Xingchen Motors' Ziweixing."

"I think this is already very rare."

"For a long time, the models of domestic car companies have basically borrowed mature models from other international giants, with few exceptions."

"Now Audi is developing new models against Ziweixing, which shows that the influence of China's automobile industry has risen."

Looking at the soft article sent by Audi, Lin Jiayan's mood was a bit complicated.

When did Xingchen Auto become so powerful?

"Audi is jealous of the coupe market, right?"

"I heard that Xingchen Motors' sales this year are expected to exceed 5,000 units. This is a very impressive figure."

"The Xingchen car is priced at RMB 700,000 to RMB 800,000, and the sales of 5,000 vehicles are equivalent to the RMB 40,000 to 50,000 of other models."

"When Zang Wang starts to gain momentum next year, this sales volume will probably be able to add another zero."

"That's considered standing up completely."

Fang Dawen is also paying close attention to every move of Xingchen Automobile.

Similarly, they also pay more attention to the developments of other luxury car companies that are paying attention to Xingchen Motors.

According to their experience, other luxury models cannot be silent at all.

This doesn't make sense.

Sure enough, now Audi is the first to jump out and cause trouble.

"The previous collision between Xingchen Automobile's Ziweixing and the Audi TT resulted in a tense relationship between the two parties."

"Maybe there is a reason for this."

Lin Jiayan thought about the intersection between Audi and Xingchen Auto Home, but after thinking about it, she didn't think much about it.

"It's possible. Didn't Volkswagen break up with Nanshan before?"

"Not a single part of their new models has been given to Nanshan Group. Even for mass-produced models, most of them have been switched to other manufacturers for production."

"Under such circumstances, it is normal for Volkswagen to take further actions."

"However, Xingchen Automobile is considered very powerful. It can actually attract Volkswagen to take the initiative to compete with them."

Lin Jiayan's current impression of Xingchen Automobile is obviously not bad.

As a professional automotive media person, she still has some basic judgments on which cars are good and which ones are bad.

It's not like some consumers don't care about performance when buying a car.

"That's true, but if the Audi A7 really competes with Ziweixing, it may really have an impact on Ziweixing's sales."

"After all, Audi's domestic brand influence is still higher than that of Ziweixing."

Fang Dawen's view should represent the views of many people.

After all, Xingchen Auto’s foundation is still relatively weak.

"If this is really the case, it would be a good thing for those of us in the media."

"If you chase me, they will definitely fight to the death."

“When the time comes, whether it’s advertising or other promotional activities, there will definitely be a lot of them.”

"The most important thing is that the various struggles between them will bring us a lot of news."

When Lin Jiayan said this, Fang Dawen couldn't help but nodded.

This is indeed the truth.

Of course, media people like them are discussing this topic. As the target of Xingchen Automobile, naturally they will not pretend that nothing has happened.

"Mr. Cao, from what we have heard so far, Audi's so-called A7 model should have been officially launched in the past month or two."

"There should be Ziweixing lapping the Niubei circuit, and the sales volume is pretty good."

"And the current automobile industry is actually constantly changing."

"Consumer demand for some crossover models is also increasing."

"For example, urban SUVs are essentially a hybrid between a sedan and an off-road vehicle."

"And our Ziweixing coupe is a hybrid between a sedan and a sports car."

"This type of vehicle, which combines the advantages of both types of vehicles, is a new growth point in the market."

"Even without our Ziweixing, maybe Audi will start the A7 project."

"Even some other car companies will launch similar models later."

As the head of the sales department, Zeng Tingting naturally wanted to analyze the opponent's situation.

In her opinion, although Audi's behavior seems to be aimed at Xingchen Automobile, this matter will happen sooner or later.

"You are right, crossover models will be a good market segment in the future."

"Audi has launched a coupe like the A7, and BMW has also launched a model like the X6 that combines a sedan and an SUV."

"We just have to do a good job in promoting our own models. Audi is not our main competitor."

"From a global perspective, Audi is not a luxury brand at the level of Mercedes-Benz and BMW, let alone compared to Porsche."

"Our development direction is to become a luxury brand on the same level as Porsche, taking into account both sales volume and price."

"If Porsche also produces a coupe based on Ziweixing, then that's when we really need to pay attention."

Cao Yang is really not too worried about the threat Audi will bring to him.

Although Audi's brand power is very strong in China, it is just like that around the world.

"But the other party is promoting it like this now. It is obvious that they want to step on us to gain hot spots. If we don't respond to anything, Audi may think that we are afraid of them."

Under the influence of Cao Yang, Zeng Tingting became more and more aggressive when facing various car companies.

Because she found that the more fierce the competition with other car companies, the more beneficial it would be for the development of Xingchen Automobile.

Just like why Xingchen Motors always competed with Porsche and BMW in the past, it was because it could fully enhance its influence.

Consumers see news about Xingchen Auto and Porsche competing against each other every day, and subconsciously they will gradually regard Xingchen Auto as being on the same level as Porsche.

Over time, the brand power of Xingchen Automobile has also increased.

"We are competing for the high-end official car market with Hongqi Sedan. In fact, we are already competing with the Audi A6L for the market."

"Compared with the Audi Q7, we have an absolute advantage in our expectations. When the time comes, we can also give the Q7 a foothold in publicity."

"As for the sports car that will be launched in the first half of next year, it will even surpass the Audi TT."

"Audi wants to fight us, and that's not necessarily a good thing."

Cao Yang said confidently.

"Then why don't we simply follow Audi's idea and publish some comparisons between Audi's models and ours on Autohome and other media."

"At that time, we will let everyone know that Audi's models are different from ours in terms of power performance, equipment configuration, and safety performance."

"Whether it's Audi, Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Porsche, Autohome's car dismantling workshop can take it apart and compare it."

"Domestic consumers think they are luxury cars anyway, so if we compare these luxury cars, it should not be a bad thing for the brand development of Xingchen Motors."

When Zeng Tingting said this, Cao Yang had no objection.

Isn't that just hurting each other?

bring it on.

See who hurts whom.

"Mr. Cao, today's schedule is quite full. Next, the Finance Department will report to you about bank loans. Nanshan Investment also has important projects to report to you."

Zeng Tingting still wanted to report to Cao Yang again, but the time had come, and Mi Ying came over to urge Cao Yang to attend the next meeting.

Since Cao Yang will go on a business trip to the United States with Fang Sisi next week, various departments naturally want to report some projects before Cao Yang goes on a business trip.

For a company as big as Nanshan Group, there are many things to do.

Cao Yang and Mi Ying also formed a tacit understanding of cooperation.

So I got up and went directly to another conference room to listen to the report from the Finance Department.

"Mr. Cao, ICBC is the most enthusiastic right now, and Yangcheng Bank has also given quite favorable conditions."

"Some other banks also contact us from time to time."

"Our finance department sorted out the loan plans of various banks and put forward some plans based on the group's cash flow situation."

Dong Shengnan has been very high-spirited in recent years.

He controls the financial department of such a large group, and his social influence is also rising rapidly.

Although the money is not hers, she has a say in payment matters.

"If you don't want to provide help in times of need, you just want to add icing on the cake. These banks hate the poor and love the rich."

Cao Yang couldn't help but complain.

Of course, he can also understand the bank's thinking.

From the perspective of risk control, it must be given to companies with good operating conditions, and the risks will be much lower.

However, companies with good operating conditions do not have that strong demand for loans.

"The main reason is that the current gap between deposit interest and loan interest is still relatively large."

"Even if we were given a preferential loan, the interest rate would be 4 points."

"And when loans are given to our group, there is basically no risk."

"It can be said that banks have steadily earned an interest difference."

As a financial professional, Dong Shengnan is naturally very aware of the bank's profit model.

"However, the group has invested heavily in recent years, especially the construction of the Xingchen Automobile factory this year. The billions of cash investment will still have a certain impact on cash flow."

"Nanshan Engine, Nanshan Auto Parts and other companies have also built new factories."

"Basically all the profits were used for research and development and the construction of new factories."

"In this case, although it has no impact on our operating conditions, the cash flow is also very healthy, and the balance sheet is very stable."

"But I think it is not impossible to consider making appropriate use of bank funds to speed up the development of related industries."

Dong Shengnan further added his opinion.

"Why are there so many dormitory buildings in this proposed project?"

Cao Yang asked questions while looking at the information prepared by the Finance Department.

In the early days, he was quite opposed to the loan.

But now that the scale has increased, it is not a problem to borrow hundreds of millions or billions.

After all, you can still get by casually.

The most important thing is that you have offended people by not taking out loans.

Not to mention that Mi Ying, who was once from ICBC, was always persuaded by people from ICBC. Even Liu Tianwu once took the initiative to be a lobbyist.

Under such circumstances, Cao Yang would naturally not insist on the no-loan policy.

Not much necessary.

"The number of employees in the company is increasing rapidly, and the demand for our dormitories can't keep up."

"So many employees have expressed through various channels that they hope the company will build more dormitories, and even proposed the idea of ​​setting up a real estate company for the group."

"Based on this situation, the Finance Department feels that part of the loan funds can be appropriately used to build dormitory buildings."

Liu Youmei actually wanted to suggest Cao Yang to engage in real estate.

But she knew Cao Yang's attitude, so she didn't bring it up directly.

"It's not impossible to build dormitory buildings, but to solve the accommodation problem for employees, they still need to buy their own houses in the final analysis."

"Only when they buy a house can they settle down in Yangcheng."

"Chinese people are still very concerned about their own houses."

Cao Yang felt that he needed to push forward the issue of employees buying houses.

This is something that costs less, solves the real problems of employees, and can improve employees' sense of belonging in the future, and even make employees grateful to the company.

If others don't know the future trend of housing prices, how can he not know?

Even if the current housing prices have increased much compared to before, compared with the future, they are completely inadequate.

In this case, it is okay to buy a house with your eyes closed.

Of course, Cao Yang supports rigid demands.

If it's investment, he won't support it.

Because if employees are too rich, they will not be in the mood to work well.

He's not going to be a good guy.

"When it comes to buying a house, if you want to buy a more satisfactory house, the down payment is quite high."

"Many employees in our company have not worked for very long and have limited savings."

"Coupled with the rapid rise in housing prices in the past two years, most employees do not plan to or do not have the financial strength to buy a house immediately."

Although Dong Shengnan himself owns a house and a car, there are also many young people in the finance department.

Therefore, she is relatively familiar with the situation of grassroots employees.

"If employees don't have money to pay a down payment, the company will help them and lend them a sum of money."

"As long as a regular employee who has worked for the company for more than one year can borrow an interest-free loan from the company and repay it in the next five years."

"Ordinary employees can limit the loan amount to 200,000 yuan or 300,000 yuan."

"Mid-level employees can be relaxed to 500,000 yuan, and the finance department can discuss the specific standards."

Dong Shengnan was a little surprised when Cao Yang mentioned it.

This plan is different from anything reported by the Finance Department.

But I have to say that this is also a way of solving the problem.

However, Dong Shengnan is not so optimistic, "Mr. Cao, it is very good for the company to come up with such a policy."

"But I guess many employees still won't use this funding to buy a house."

"It would be a waste if we borrowed the funds from the bank and kept them in the bank account if we didn't use them."

Dong Shengnan just bought a new villa some time ago, and he is quite familiar with the real estate market in Yangcheng.

In her opinion, most employees today will not spend millions to buy a house.

Because everyone is worried that house prices will fall after rising for a few years.

"In this way, when the Finance Department prepares the notice for the interest-free house purchase funds, it will add a clause."

"For employees who have used this fund to purchase real estate, if house prices fall in the next ten years, the company will be responsible for buying back their real estate at the original price."

"Then you tell everyone that this policy is valid for five years."

"Except for employees who join after five years, other employees who do not apply for this fee during this time will not be eligible to apply in the future."

When Cao Yang said this, everyone in the conference room was stunned.

What happened to your boss today?

To actually make such a decision that is obviously not good for the company.

Starting a company is not a charity.

Interest-free borrowing is understandable, after all, it is equivalent to a benefit for employees.

But buying back the property at the original price is too exaggerated.

It is impossible for any company to make such a decision.

"CEO Cao……"

After the entire conference room fell into silence for more than ten seconds, Dong Shengnan stood up and asked Cao Yang, "Is this notice a bit strange?"

"At that time, it will bring a lot of hidden dangers to the company's development."

"Especially in Yangcheng, house prices have risen in the past three or four years, especially in the past two years."

"I think there will definitely be a wave of decline in the future, even a big drop."

"After all, in an era when the average monthly salary of ordinary office workers is only 3,000 yuan, housing prices of more than 10,000 yuan or even higher really make it hard to see how long-lasting it is."

When Dong Shengnan said this, Mi Ying and others next to him also nodded.

The current housing prices are too high.

A person has to work for decades without food or water to afford a house.

Of course, if you go to the suburbs in the south, east, or north to buy, there are houses that cost two thousand yuan per square meter, and there are even houses that cost more than one thousand yuan.

But those places are thirty or forty kilometers, or even sixty or seventy kilometers away from the urban area, and it’s like going to a small county town in other places.

How many people are willing?

"Your concerns are justified."

"However, if the group wants to develop in the long term, it will naturally need a stable group of employees."

"Through this policy, employees can be effectively stimulated to buy real estate in Yangcheng and settle in Yangcheng."

"Compared with some companies in the Magic City and Imperial City, our Nanshan Group's salary package is not necessarily very competitive."

"But in Yangcheng itself, our appeal is still acceptable."

“As long as we keep our employees in Yangcheng, we can basically keep them in the company.”

"As for the risk you mentioned, it is indeed a risk in the short term."

"But in the long run, asset prices will definitely continue to rise."

"Especially with the rapid development of our country's economy, the income of employees is also increasing, and the rate of urbanization has entered the fast lane."

“Under this situation, it’s hard to say what will happen to real estate prices in other cities.”

"But in first-tier cities like Yangcheng, house prices will definitely continue to rise."

"Now it costs more than 10,000 yuan to buy a house in the city center. You think it is too expensive."

"In the future, in the community next to the company, you won't be able to buy a house for more than 10,000 yuan."

"Houses in urban areas may cost 70,000 to 80,000 square meters, or even hundreds of thousands per square meter."

"If you regret it by then, it will be too late."

Cao Yang's explanation will definitely have no problem in future generations.

But now, both Dong Shengnan and Mi Ying find it incredible.

The conference room fell into silence once again.

Dong Shengnan didn't know how to refute.

If this rebuttal is severe, all employees in the company will probably hate her when word spreads.

But without rebuttal, she felt it would be financially risky.

"Mr. Cao, how about we try it out first and open this policy to veteran employees who have been employed for more than three years."

"Then the interest-free loan amount is limited to 500 million per year. After using it, you have to wait until the next year to apply again?"

After waiting for a long time, Dong Shengnan broke the silence again.

Although a bank proactively came to provide loans, the interest rate was still acceptable to Nanshan Group.

But she was still worried about Cao Yang's plan.

After working in the company for so many years and witnessing its development and growth, I naturally hope that the company can continue to develop healthily.

"No problem, just give it a try as you said and see the effect."

Dong Shengnan's suggestion was not unreasonable, so Cao Yang did not insist on it.

After that, the Finance Department will naturally be responsible for the specific implementation.

After listening to the report from the Finance Department, Zhang Fugui from Nanshan Investment also brought good news to Cao Yang with a bright face.

"Mr. Cao, the company has earned more than 5 billion in net profits this year through investments in the financial market."

"Can we further expand the relevant scale and buy some stocks in Hong Kong stocks or US stocks?"

In the past year, the Chinese stock market has completely emerged from the bear market.

The Shanghai Composite Index has repeatedly hit new highs.

Last year, Cao Yang allocated one billion to invest in Nanshan, focusing on investing in the Chinese stock market. Now, of course, he has gained a lot.

"It's boom and bust. The U.S. stock market has been rising for longer than our domestic stock market. It's not a good thing to chase the highs now."

"Even the Chinese stock market has to start slowly clearing positions."

"Strive to completely withdraw from the stock market within the first quarter of next year, save funds, and prepare for the next investment."

Cao Yang couldn't remember the development of the stock market every day, or even the specific information of any stock.

But the financial crisis broke out in 2008, and a large number of stock prices began to fall in 2007. He still knew this.

Based on this background, some of Nanshan Investment's stock investments naturally need to start shrinking.

In the future, you can even start shorting some stocks abroad.

At that time, the acquisition of some chip-related companies in the international market will rely on the contribution of short selling in the U.S. stock market.

“Now, even the aunties at the vegetable market and the aunties sweeping the floors have begun queuing up to go to the business halls of securities companies to open accounts and trade stocks. There are reports on the Internet that many people directly quit their jobs to become professional stock investors after making money from stocks.”

“If we clear out our positions under this situation, wouldn’t the loss be a bit big?”

"If we continue at this pace, our profits will definitely reach more than 10 billion by the end of next year, and even 20 billion is not impossible."

"The other companies in the entire Nanshan Group combined do not earn as much as Nanshan Investment."

Zhang Fugui is obviously reluctant to part with the Chinese stock market at this stage.

It's really like picking up money there.

You can make money by buying any stock with your eyes closed.

The difference is nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less.

It’s really heartbreaking to miss out on this kind of market.

"You all know that even the sweeper lady has started trading in stocks. How long do you think this hot scene can last?"

"You don't think that stock prices can only rise and never fall, right?"

When Cao Yang asked this question, Zhang Fugui didn't know how to refute.

Finally, he let out a long sigh and agreed to implement Cao Yang's decision.

Next, Cao Yang continued to listen to reports from other departments on various business matters, and basically spent the whole day in the meeting listening to reports.

This can be considered the daily life of most bosses of large companies.

If I'm not listening to a report, I'm in a meeting.
