MTL - Cosmic Professional Gladiator-Chapter 16 Cheng Jia
"Bankrupt?" Cheng Zitong and Cheng Zihao brothers were a little confused.
"Dad, have you reached this stage?" Cheng Zitong asked.
Cheng Zihao said eagerly: "Dad, when virtual glasses came out, it had a great impact on many Internet companies. After the impact, the Tiger Shark Group eventually became stronger. This time the virtual world can't defeat us, we It can also penetrate into the virtual world."
"No chance." Cheng Liwei with an old face shook his head lightly, "This time is different from the last virtual glasses. Last time, the virtual glasses came out with technology first, and then authorized a number of companies...There are long-term transitions, and we are also prepared. ."
“But this time, it’s the Blue Star Alliance that is directly issuing virtual helmets. The virtual world is directly open to everyone, completely impacting the previous online market.”
"In the past month or so, the group's share price has been falling, and after the press conference, it has plummeted. Although trading is temporarily suspended, as long as the suspension is released, it will plummet again, and the market value will fall below one trillion." Cheng Liwei said calmly. , "Many banks have frozen family trust assets and asked us to repay in advance."
"Will the market value fall below one trillion?" Cheng Zitong and Cheng Zihao both knew that the situation was not good.
"The 8.2% of the group's shares owned by the family trust are worth less than 100 billion. Is it insolvent?" Cheng Zitong asked, "Dad, what about the other aspects of the family trust's investment?"
“Families are based in the Internet industry, and family trusts invest mostly in the Internet industry. Under this wave of impact, most of the valuations have to be discounted by two or three, and some will just die.” Cheng Liwei said, “Family trusts The original assets were 900 billion yuan, and the liabilities were more than 300 billion yuan, which is very safe. But now these assets...the value is probably less than 200 billion yuan."
"So much difference?" Cheng Zihao was even more confused.
His good days are all dependent on the family trust and the Tiger Shark Group controlled by the family.
"There is no way. The emergence of the virtual world cannot be resisted by humans." Cheng Liwei shook his head and smiled, "It's ridiculous, I didn't get any news about such a big thing before. Obviously, the Blue Star Alliance didn't care at all. The life and death of Internet companies."
"The Tiger Shark Group will not die, after all, the balance sheet is very good." Cheng Zitong said, "But it is estimated that the bank will take away 8.2% of our family's shares soon."
"Don't worry, the assets of the two of you are completely separated from the assets of the family trust." Cheng Liwei looked at his two sons, "As the administrator of the family trust, I have to bear the price. But you two will not be affected. Just live a low-key life. After all, without the Tiger Shark Group, the Cheng family is already very mediocre."
Cheng Zitong and Cheng Zihao were silent.
"It's gone? It's all gone?" Cheng Zihao trembled slightly and looked at his father, "Dad, over the years, you have given your eldest brother 5 billion, but you have given me only 2 billion, which is not fair."
"Second, these are all in accordance with the rules of the family trust." Cheng Zitong said.
"Dad, you are so unfair." Cheng Zihao looked at his father.
"unfair?"
Cheng Liwei looked at him, "First, your elder brother is older than you. The family trust will issue the first cash when you are 22 years old. After that, you will pay out year by year. Who can blame you for your younger age and less pay? Second? , The stronger the investment and management ability, the family trust will also be added. Your investment ability is not as good as your elder brother, who do you blame? Third, I helped you fill in the big holes you made before, and filled in several billions. There is also favor! How can I feel sorry for you at all?"
"But I have nothing!" Cheng Zihao looked at his father.
"I'm broke, what else do you want?" Cheng Liwei pointed to the door, "Get out!"
Cheng Zihao looked at his father with red eyes.
"Go!" Cheng Liwei pointed to the door.
Cheng Zihao turned around and left, leaving only Cheng Liwei and his eldest son Cheng Zitong in the office.
"Dad, the second child is in a hurry." Cheng Zitong said in a low voice, "Although you have given your second two billion in these years, his investment ability is too poor. I guess there is not much left on his hands. I know it will be gone in the future. , So I am in a hurry."
"You remember."
Cheng Liwei looked at his eldest son Cheng Zitong, "From today onwards, don't give your second brother a penny!"
Cheng Zitong was taken aback for a moment: "Then what if he starves to death on the street?"
"Let him starve to death!" Cheng Liwei said indifferently, "Our Cheng family is no longer the Cheng family of the past, and we can't afford to lose again!"
"Yes, I understand." Cheng Zitong replied.
...
Cheng Zihao's office.
"Boom boom boom." Cheng Zihao frantically smashed everything that could be smashed in the office.
"Old man, you are so cruel!" Cheng Zihao could only gritted his teeth, then lightly touched his watch, gritted his teeth and said, "Now, right now, roll to my office!"
Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man with some water in his hair came to the office and said: "Boss, I was in the virtual world before. I came here as soon as I heard from you."
"Quickly, how much money is left in my investment company?" Cheng Zihao asked.
"There are still more than 120 million in cash." The middle-aged man said immediately, "Others are investments in all aspects."
"How much are those investments worth?" Cheng Zihao asked.
"Many of them are angel investments, and there is no way to withdraw in a short time." The middle-aged man said, "Some investments in the Internet industry may have to be smashed. The impact of the virtual world is too great."
"What I am asking is, how much money can be exchanged for these investments that can be refunded, sold, or mortgaged?" Cheng Zihao asked.
"One hundred million." The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "Reluctantly."
"I invested 500 million, so there is only so little left?" Cheng Zihao didn't want to accept it.
"The network industry is too miserable now." The middle-aged man said helplessly, "We also have three companies of our own, with so many people and so many employees, and we spend about 20 million a month. We can only maintain cash. About half a year."
"Can only last for half a year?" Cheng Zihao murmured, his lips turned pale.
"Fortunately, the chairman helped solve the big hole last time. The company is still stable in a short time." The middle-aged man said again, "When the hole was filled last time, the chairman said that you are not allowed to talk Borrowed."
"Don't mention him."
Cheng Zihao sat in the chair, holding his head, "Get out, I have to think about it."
"Yes, boss." The middle-aged man went out obediently.
"Cash can only last for half a year? The family trust is gone?" Cheng Zihao's eyes were bloodshot, and he unconsciously grabbed his hair, "What should I do, what should I do?"
*******
virtual reality.
Xu Jingming guessed that the Cheng family would be miserable, but he didn't want to pay attention. He is now in the "Martial Arts Field" in his personal space, experiencing the sparring function of the "Martial Arts Field".
Martial arts field, in a canyon with green mountains and green waters.
Three bandits attacked and killed from three directions and besieged Xu Jingming.
Xu Jingming held a long spear and waited calmly.
When the robbers got close to three feet, Xu Jingming immediately rushed to the right to meet the knife man on the right.
"Kill." The knife gangster grinned and culled directly.
"Puff."
The spear in Xu Jingming's hand moved like a poisonous snake out of a hole. The tip of the spear was poked on the neck of the gangster, and it was retracted.
The sword gangster’s neck was pierced, and he dissipated directly. The remaining two gangsters didn't have the slightest fear, and they rushed more frantically.
Xu Jingming only gave in one step, and nodded twice on the tip of the spear. The two gangsters were shot in the heart and eyebrows respectively, and they dissipated as illusions.
"The sparring with 800 basic combat power is indeed relatively weak, so it is suitable to be familiar with marksmanship." Xu Jingming didn't feel the difficulty at all.
The distance control and reaction time control make his marksmanship like art, easily killing the virtual sparring team in the martial arts field.
hum!
"Huh?" Xu Jingming clicked slightly, and saw a burly middle-aged man looking over in the other martial arts field. The burly man had eyes like tigers, and his deterrent power was terrifying.
"Master?" Xu Jingming was a little uncertain.
"Hahaha, I was surprised to see me getting younger?" Liu Hai laughed.
"Congratulations, Master, UU reading www.uukanshu.com has speculated in the global martial arts community over the years. If you were 30 years old and participated in the World Martial Arts Competition, I am afraid that you would be the greatest king of the World Martial Arts Competition. Now that humans have evolved, Master can be satisfied. Everyone's guess is imagined." Xu Jingming also looked forward to.
Liu Hai is a legend in the world.
Forty-five years old, very old in the fighting world, and his condition is much worse than that of his twenties. Master Liu Haineng has participated in five consecutive martial arts competitions since he was 45 years old.
How strong was he at his peak? This has always been speculation.
"The past is not worth mentioning." Liu Hai smiled, "Jingming, in thirty years of professional martial arts competitions, there are only more than 20,000 registered professional martial arts players worldwide. Now they are competing with more than 20,000 people, which is a full seven. One billion people! In the virtual world, they will not be injured, not afraid of tiredness, they can choose to practice at will, and they can fight life and death. Their growth rate will be more than ten times faster than our original training in reality."
"Within a month or two, we professional players still have an advantage."
"Half a year! As long as half a year...we professional martial arts players will be completely overwhelmed." Liu Hai looked at Xu Jingming, "but this is the best era for our martial arts players! There has never been an era with so many martial arts now. Players."
"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded, people all over the world are learning, fighting with cold weapons, has never been so prosperous?
"We already have a good foundation, and if we seize the opportunity, we can soar into the sky!" Liu Hai looked at Xu Jingming, "Jingming, don't let this age down."
"Yeah." Xu Jingming was equally enthusiastic, and he also wanted to create a world in this era.
"By the way, are you rated? Have you reached the **** level?" Liu Hai asked.
