Relying on Qu Shan's notes, the boy's skill of sharpening a gun in battle since the first grade of elementary school, and nearly 12 hours of continuous study every day, Dong Qiangqiang finally passed the monthly exam without any danger.
For him, subjects such as mathematics, German, and English are not challenging. Mathematics only requires memorizing the key formulas. Foreign language learning is mainly about daily life. The pre-exam attack is at most a few key grammar points that may be involved in the exam. , but reading comprehension and writing cannot be accelerated.
Dong Qiangqiang's main difficulty in the exam was the German politics course, because this course requires a lot of time to prepare, and it is far from being able to get high scores by just cramming in and out. He knows this well. The final results in each subject also confirmed this. He only scored 2.5 points in German Politics, continuing to maintain a strong position at the bottom of several subjects. He knew that this course was likely to be a laggard in the preparatory graduation exam, so he could only try his best to get the highest score of 1 point in the other courses, and strive to keep the average score within 2 points, so that the overall overall score could still be Excellent, creating opportunities for students to apply for economics majors in comprehensive universities.
After passing the exam, the next focus is the special report of the seminar. Unlike when Dong Qiangqiang was studying in China, the economics major teacher only gave the framework and format requirements for the report this time. As for the writing content, it only needs to be related to economics and finance. For the report, it should focus on a certain region, a certain country, There are no restrictions on a certain continent or the whole world. Students can express themselves freely and choose their own topics. After consideration, Dong Qiangqiang decided to conduct a comprehensive review based on the major financial fraud incidents in the US stock market in recent years. After writing the report in this way, he also had a clear understanding of what to do next.
Although the number of words required for the seminar report is not high, after all, it involves professional writing in foreign languages, and Dong Qiangqiang does not dare to neglect it. The teacher also repeatedly emphasized to the students: If you want to output high-quality content, you must first have a preparatory stage of massive input. To put it more bluntly: If you want to say something meaningful but not literal when writing, you must first read more "hard stuff" to make writing effortless.
In order to collect and organize relevant information, Dong Qiangqiang not only consulted a large amount of information to study US stock accounting standards and US stock accounting annual reports, but also downloaded many short-selling reports written by Wall Street investment institutions. He printed out everything he wanted to read and stuffed it into his suitcase, and then rushed to Paris again. During the day, he visited the small garbage transportation company that was suing Vivendi to collect evidence, and at night he went to squat outside different garbage treatment plants. Of course, with high-tech assistance, he doesn't need to watch in person. As long as he sets up the camera, he can focus on reading the various materials he printed. If he were at home, he might be distracted by many things, but sitting in a car in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere, all he could do was read and sleep.
Through sorting, he found that between 1997 and 2001, more than 800 of the more than 8,400 listed companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Nasdaq and American Stock Exchange suffered from various accounting problems or financial fraud. The number of companies ordered to restate their financial statements or be punished by regulatory agencies has reached nearly 10% of listed companies. After the Enron incident completely broke out, more and more investors believe that the companies with problems that have been exposed are just the tip of the iceberg. , what is under the iceberg is the behemoth that truly makes people fear and panic. Only then did Dong Qiangqiang understand why Duanmu was so sure that the future of Cicada Company was bright.
Although the job of writing reports was very difficult, and he was not paid and had to pay for it, it also made him realize that studying in higher education does not stop at talking on paper, but is something that can be closely integrated with his interests and making money to support himself. Being able to take care of his studies and career within a given period of time not only gave him a great sense of accomplishment, but also made him realize for the first time: when he loves something wholeheartedly and is willing to give 100% or more for it When working hard, he will not feel that the difficulties are difficult at all, and perseverance will become a natural thing.
Human progress is like the process of flower blooming. Suddenly, the flower blooms.
After nearly two weeks of busy and careful preparation, and with Tong Lele and others helping him polish and revise, the report was successfully completed as scheduled.
He compiled a list of notorious financial fraud companies that have appeared in the US stock market in the past 10 years. The list recorded in detail the names of listed companies, the time of financial fraud, the amount involved in financial fraud, and the main means of financial fraud. Well-known financial fraud cases in the U.S. stock market are analyzed from different aspects such as the historical background of the U.S. stock market, the management of listed companies, the corporate culture of listed companies, the requirements of information disclosure in financial audit reports by securities regulatory agencies, and whether relevant financial laws are perfect. At the same time, he also compared the differences in relevant mechanisms between U.S. stocks and German stocks. At the end of the report, he also praised the companies listed on the German stock market, because the Germans can be regarded as representatives of honesty and duty in this regard.
Due to his thorough preparation and familiarity with the content, Dong Qiangqiang performed well in the lecture session of the seminar. The teacher's comments on the report are that the cases are timely, the data are detailed, the discussion is rigorous, the classics are cited, and the topic is both readable and informative. Dong Qiangqiang not only completed the prescribed learning tasks and received full marks, but also helped himself gain a rough grasp of knowledge about financial fraud in the U.S. stock market.
Time flies to the end of April, and the temperature rises quickly. Colorful summer clothes are already flying on the streets of Paris. The girls' makeup is also more charming than the other, and their postures are more graceful than the other. Duanmu told Dong Qiangqiang that he would be coming back from the United States soon. However, he did not return to Germany first, but went directly to Paris to join Dong Qiangqiang.
A few days after Dong Qiangqiang answered the phone, the plane landed with a huge roar. Dong Qiangqiang successfully received Duanmu who came out of Charles de Gaulle Airport.
"Go to the hotel first and then find a place to eat?" Dong Qiangqiang threw Duanmu's luggage into the trunk and asked while closing the trunk lid.
"Which hotel are you in?" Duanmu looked good and seemed to be a lot fatter than when he left. "I don't care if it's a three-star hotel or a four-star hotel. Just add an extra bed."
"I don't stay in a hotel." Dong Qiangqiang grinned.
"Then where do you sleep?" Duanmu looked surprised.
Dong Qiangqiang smiled and patted the car.
"Every night?" Duanmu was even more shocked.
"You can't rent a car for free. Besides, isn't that what I came to Paris to do?" Dong Qiangqiang said deliberately.
"That won't work. You still have to find a place to take a shower and change clothes. The weather is already hot, and you'll smell bad if you run like this every day. It's not good for you to get customers. You can just find a B&B near the garbage plant where you can take a shower or Just sleep." Duanmu criticized.
"That's no problem, get in the car." Dong Qiangqiang slapped the car.
Dong Qiangqiang drove a rented car through the streets of Paris with ease. Through this period of running around, he already had a systematic understanding of the streets of Paris.
He glanced at Duanmu who was sitting in the passenger seat: "You have gained weight. The food of the American people is good, right?"
"Ahem, don't mention it. I almost vomited after eating junk food every day." Duanmu pinched the fat on his belly sadly, and immediately there were "swimming rings" in his hands. He loosened his hands, " "The swimming ring" bounced back and disappeared on his stomach. He sighed sadly, "Hey, you can't help yourself when you are in the world. I can be considered a work-related injury..."
"Is it a big harvest?" The afterglow of the setting sun was very dazzling, so Dong Qiangqiang put down his sun visor and put on his sunglasses.
"It's necessary." Duanmu looked proud, "Let's talk while eating."
"How many days will you stay here this time?" Dong Qiangqiang asked with concern.
"Well, let's see how it goes. I told the company that I'm here to investigate the overseas office of a U.S.-listed company. I don't think I'll be able to stay for a few days."
"Tell me what you need me to do, and I'll make sure the task is completed."
"Okay, I haven't seen you confident enough in a few days!" Duanmu smiled slyly, showing his white teeth, "Don't worry, you just have to do a lot more."
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, although I have only been doing this for a month, I feel much better now than when I first came here. When I first came here, I really didn't know what to say, so I could only scratch my eyebrows and beard." Dong Qiangqiang laughed at himself.
"We will definitely get better and better." Duanmu's eyes flashed, "This is the dividend given to us by the times."
