Rebirth starts with small money

This day~ Chen Li spent a lot of money.

Even at the peak of his previous life~ it would take about two years to earn this money.

Of course~ this is mainly because there is a real estate among them.

Yanjing in 2000~ In fact, housing prices have already risen significantly, but fortunately Chen Li bought a second-hand house, and the location is also near the original house, that is, on the West Third Ring Road.

In 2000, although the housing prices in the third ring road rose, the increase was not large.

Just like this house, the average price is even less than [-] square meters.

Of course~ this price is actually considered high these days, but in Chen Li's opinion, it is basically not a loss if you buy it with your eyes closed.

More than ten years later, there are basically no houses around the third ring road in Yanjing City with an average price of less than 5 yuan.

In fact, I really want to talk about it~ From an economic point of view, Chen Li should go to the second ring road to buy a house now, after all, this can actually maximize the benefits.

But now Chen Li buys a house not only for investment and financial management, but mainly for convenience.

To put it bluntly~ this house is mainly for my parents and family to live in.

Because according to Chen Xue's current grades, as long as there are no accidents, it is estimated that there will be no problem in passing the Qingbei exam.

After all, Chen Li is a personal education bionic person who spent a lot of money to hire, if he doesn't even have this effect, then his mall currency will be wasted.

Not only Chen Xue, but also Wang Yan and Chen Tingting, who are in the first year of high school this year.

The grades of these two girls are even higher than Chen Xue's. If there is still some suspense about Chen Xue's exam in Qingbei, then it is basically a certainty for these two girls to take the exam in Qingbei.

There is no way~ Mainly because when Chen Li asked the bionic person to teach him privately, Chen Xue was already in her third year of high school.

However, Chen Tingting and Wang Yan~ have been receiving private education from bionics since the first year of high school.

But~ Although both Chen Tingting and Wang Yan have the ability to be admitted to Qingbei, there is actually a big difference in their learning ability.

Chen Tingting and Chen Xue were able to take the Qingbei exam~ it was because of their hard work and the careful teaching of the knowledge-based bionics.

The reason why Wang Yan was admitted to Qingbei is because there is no better university in the country above Qingbei.

In addition, Chen Li didn't want Wang Yan to study abroad, mainly to go abroad to go to university, so Chen Li might as well continue to rent knowledge-based bionics to teach Wang Yan!

Although the teaching level and relevant knowledge reserves of many foreign universities are indeed higher than those of domestic universities, but if it is compared with the system, it is actually the level of a small party.

After all, the two are not products of the same era at all, so there is naturally no comparison.

So ~ Chen Li didn't plan to send anyone to study abroad, at most he went to Qingbei, but in fact, he mainly accepted the teaching of bionics.

Of course~ It all depends on personal wishes. If someone really has the idea of ​​further study, Chen Li will naturally satisfy the other party.

But even if the other party doesn't have such an idea~ With Chen Li's current wealth, he can definitely prepare a suitable job for the other party in the future.

So ~ buying this suite is also to prepare in advance.

Of course~ When buying a house, Chen Li didn't let his parents know the real price of the house.

To be precise~ he asked the intermediary to cut the house price in half.

It's not about how high the house price is at this time, but if the price goes up~ maybe Chen Li's parents won't agree to buy this apartment.

For Chen Li's parents, the gap between buying a suite for 50 yuan and buying a suite for [-] yuan is quite large.

If Chen Li didn’t have a house in Yanjing, then he would have bought the 50 yuan, but the problem was that Chen Li already had a house there, so if the price was too high, then Chen Li’s parents might think it was a waste.

Yes drop ~ waste!

From their point of view, Chen Li had such a large three-bedroom house that there was no problem living with a family.

As for Chen Li and Liu Qingqing, it's not convenient to care about it. How can there be so much attention!
Hmm~ This is a question of consumer attitudes, and it is also commonly known as the "generation gap".

After all, in the eyes of Chen Li's parents, life today is many times better than before, and it seems a bit wasteful to blindly pursue enjoyment.

But Chen Li is different~ he came from a later life, if he didn't have the conditions, it would be fine, but now he has the conditions~ why don't you let yourself live more comfortably?

So ~ under the premise that Chen Li and the agent had colluded in advance, a house with a total price of close to 50 yuan finally turned into a little over 20 yuan.

And this price. In the eyes of Chen Li's parents, it is not only not expensive~ it is even a bit cheap.

Because although this house is a second-hand house, the house itself has just been renovated within two years, and it is only a 3-minute walk from Chen Li's house. The price of two hundred thousand is really not expensive!

In the end~ this apartment was decided to buy, and the formalities were naturally handed over to Zhang Ruolan. Anyway, after seeing the apartment that day, he signed the contract.

As for Chen Li's parents, if they find out that the house price is wrong, then it doesn't matter, they bought everything anyway.

Moreover, it is impossible to lose money on houses in this area.

Of course~ The biggest reason for Chen Li to buy a house at this time is naturally to make money.

Now that the Internet bubble has officially burst, Chen Li missed the opportunity to short Microsoft in order to ensure the leverage of shorting the Nasdaq index.

However, the rapid decline of the Nasdaq index made Chen Li earn a lot of money.

And the most important thing~ Chen Li is very clear that this is just the beginning, starting from the end of March~ the Nasdaq index will be like a grasshopper after autumn. It won't be long before it jumps.

And the fact is just as Chen Li imagined!
The Nasdaq's plunge on March 3 was just the beginning.

In fact, after the Nasdaq plummeted that day, it had a huge impact on the capital market of the United States.

Because that day was Friday, and within two days following Saturday and Sunday, when the market was closed, both American officials and some financial institutions made comments on this time.

On the TV media, some financial experts and even bigwigs in the investment world have said that the plunge of the Nasdaq index was mainly affected by the Microsoft antitrust case.

These people crackled and said a lot of core meaning, which is probably that this time was actually just an accident.

Some experts even appealed that this is actually a good time to enter the stock market. After all, the Nasdaq index fell by 24 points on the 820th, and the wealth represented by it was unprecedentedly huge.

The Nasdaq index exceeded 5500 points before, which means that Nasdaq is prosperous ~ technology stocks are still trustworthy ~ the stock market is still healthy and positive.

Don't say it. As far as these experts say, many people really believe it.

No way~ Mainly because the previous Nasdaq and Internet technology stocks were too crazy.

Some time ago, there was a saying in the capital market in the United States, just put the money you have on hand in the capital market, and wait a few days. The money will roll in the capital market, and by the way, double it!
Of course~ this sentence must be a bit exaggerated, but it does represent the madness in the capital market at that time.

Many people thought that since the capital market had been crazy for so long at that time, how could it have completely collapsed in one day.

Therefore, many people really believe that the day on the 24th was indeed an accident.

Of course~ It’s a bit ridiculous to say that it was an accident. Anyway, it’s Microsoft’s fault. Just wait until the market opens on Monday. I believe that the capital market will definitely return to its previous level of prosperity.

So ~ when some people fantasized about entering the capital market to make money after the market opened on Monday, Monday really came!

It's just that the situation is different from what everyone imagined before. When a group of retail investors opened their bank accounts, looking forward to entering the capital market to make a fortune. During the pre-market hours on Monday, a large number of institutions and large Investors began to unanimously sell off their stocks.

Hmm~ In fact, it is somewhat inaccurate to use the word sale at this time, after all, everyone is still holding back at this time.

After all~ If you want to maximize the benefits, it is naturally impossible to really conduct a big sale.

But because more people had such thoughts, a large number of sell orders appeared at the same time before the market, and caused the Nasdaq index to plummet by 280 points at the opening of the day.

You know~ Even on the 24th, which was called "Black Friday" two days ago, it only dropped 210 points before the market.

Then those who originally planned to continue to hold or even increase their holdings were dumbfounded.

Didn't it mean that it was just an accident before~ everyone is very optimistic about the continued growth of the stock market?
So how did the 280-point plunge now come about?

In fact, by this time, some smart people have already seen some clues.

But everything is afraid of one but, after the stock market opened, a sudden fund broke into Nasdaq, and the previous plunge of 280 points gradually recovered.

Even when the time reached around 3 pm, the Nasdaq index even broke through to 5000 points again.

By this time~ In fact, many people have already fallen into it. They have exchanged the funds in their bank accounts for some stocks composed of data.

Everyone felt that the previous Black Friday was indeed just an accident!
U.S. stocks are still the same U.S. stocks, and Nasdaq is still the same Nasdaq.

Then the entire capital market collapsed completely!

From the market opening at 3 o'clock, the Nasdaq index plummeted all the way, and by the end of the day ~ the Nasdaq index had fallen to 4503 points.

It almost fell below 4500 points!

And this time, everyone seems to understand that maybe the situation on Friday was just an accident. But the accident and its impact have far exceeded the concept of "accident".

There is an old saying that goes well~ You will have to pay back sooner or later.

What happened before the Internet bubble ~ In fact, many, many people know about it.

Even some news media have exposed some enterprises with the skin of "Internet technology"!

It's just that everyone thinks it was an accident!
After all, there are so many companies in Internet technology~ It’s not normal to have a few companies that are not doing business properly, okay?

For the vast majority of people, even when they hear the news, they will only regard it as gossip.

Only those who have experienced it~ can understand the meaning of what it represents.

But these people... Compared with the huge crowd who were optimistic about Internet technology at that time, they were naturally only a small part.

So ~ the Internet bubble was getting bigger and bigger, and all the people involved actually "contributed" to it.

But now~ this bubble has burst, so naturally someone needs to take corresponding responsibilities.

According to common sense ~ who is responsible ~ who is responsible, but the reality is that the smart people have already left.

Yes~ Starting from Monday, for a long time to come, the entire capital market has been in a very unstable state.

Even if the U.S. government comes forward and the Fed endorses it, it can only slow down the decline in U.S. stocks, but it cannot stop the downward trend.

A week later, the stock market is still falling!
A month later, the stock market is still falling!
Three months later, some Internet companies with some bad assets have already started the process of bankruptcy and liquidation.

At this time, the originally prosperous Internet technology has become a closely guarded word among investors.

This also means that today's Internet industry is no longer as prosperous as before, and those founders~ can't just take a check from investors' pockets with just a word of mouth and a business plan.

For example, Brother Ma from Penguin Studio!
At the end of June~In a certain office in Yanjing City, Xiao Ma signed his name on the document in front of him with a depressed face.

"Brother Aotian~ this has been signed, when will the money arrive in the account?"

Now Ma Xiaoteng is very depressed, even aggrieved.

Originally~ his Penguin studio was developing well, and even under the promotion of Red Pony Technology, they already had a certain reputation.

After completing the first transaction before, today's Penguin.com has been completely on the right track.

It stands to reason that at this time, Penguin.com will begin its formal first round of financing.

Then use the raised funds to expand the popularity of Penguin.com, so that Penguin.com can gain a firm foothold in the domestic e-commerce market.

Originally, this was not a problem.

Ms. Xu from Baring Capital even communicated with him several times.

It’s just that at that time Ma Xiaoteng felt that the overweight given by the other party was a bit low, and there was another capital that was also optimistic about Penguin.com, so Ma Xiaoteng has been waiting for a suitable opportunity.

But he didn't wait for the right opportunity, but he waited for the bursting of the Internet bubble and the arrival of the Internet cold wave.

And then no more!

Because of the bursting of the Internet bubble, the capital side and some investment institutions are extremely cautious when dealing with Internet projects.

This also led to whether it was Baring Capital ~ behind Xu Xing or another financial institution that was optimistic about Penguin.com, they all lowered the conditions originally given to Penguin.com.

This time~ the dumbfounded person became Ma Xiaoteng!

He never expected that his luck would be so unlucky. He happened to encounter such a thing when Penguin.com was about to raise funds.

But he has no choice, because Penguin is waiting for money to use it!
Originally, the reason why he is up for sale is that the e-commerce industry itself is favored by many investors and institutions.

But now almost all investment institutions are somewhat worried about the Internet, so naturally they will not be as generous as before.

That's right~ Ma Xiaoteng thought he was stingy before, but now he thinks how generous he was before.

Of course~ Ma Xiaoteng is not a person who admits defeat, after running around, he finally found a generous investor.
That is Chen Li!
It's just that Chen Li was originally the second shareholder of Penguin.com, and now after this financing, Chen Li has become the largest shareholder of Penguin.com.

This... somewhat made Ma Xiaoteng a little depressed.

But depression is depression, who made Chen Li pay the most money?Now Penguin, the most lacking is funds.

Anyway, although Chen Li has a lot of shares, the voting rights are still in the hands of Ma Xiaoteng, so although he is depressed, Ma Xiaoteng still finds Chen Li.

"Hmm~ My sister is about to take the college entrance examination, so I have to go back to my hometown."

"Let's do this~ I'll urge them to transfer the money to you as soon as possible."

On the opposite side of the desk, Chen Li pushed the flat glasses on his face, smiled and stretched out his hand to Brother Ma!
