Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 544 The Fate of OICQ

Li Chen actually doesn't know much about the financial industry!

He also doesn't know how practitioners in the financial industry generally calculate bonuses.

However, when Chen Li asked Zhang Ruolan to find someone, he inquired a little about the salary structure of stock traders.

It is said that the salary structure of stock traders in many securities companies is different. Some companies have higher basic salaries and lower commissions, while some companies have lower basic salaries and higher commissions and bonuses.

There are even some so-called stockbrokers, they don't even have a basic salary~ but the commission is very high.

Of course~ Mu Xiaoqing is actually not among these people, because before she was hired by Chen Li, she had almost no way to gain a foothold in the financial industry.

Chen Li was able to give her this opportunity~ She was already satisfied. As for the commission and bonus, she didn't ask at all.

So, when Chen Li handed her a check worth 200 million US dollars, Mu Xiaoqing was really moved.

You know~ when she was doing the best business before, her annual salary plus commission plus bonus was only worth about one million dollars.

And even with this kind of income, she only took it for one year, because in the second year, she was kicked out by Damo because of an operation error.

As for whether she was framed or not, it doesn't really matter anymore, because the matter was basically settled at the beginning.

And the reason why Mu Xiaoqing wanted to gain a foothold in the financial industry again~ even wanted to make a comeback was because she wanted to prove her innocence.

The reason why she wants to prove herself ~ the biggest purpose is just to get back the custody of her daughter.

But~ the cost of going to court in the United States alone was not what Mu Xiaoqing could afford, let alone her desire to get back her daughter's custody, a stable job and healthy financial strength are quite important.

Originally~Mu Xiaoqing planned a long-term plan for herself very rationally. After all, she knew very well that it would be good if she could stabilize her situation first with her current situation.

If I really want to achieve the ideal state, it may not be realistic in a few years.

But she never expected that after accepting Chen Li's job, she would quickly become a trader with as much as 500 million US dollars.

Of course ~ 500 million US dollars is not too much, but it is really a lot to say less.

Especially for Mu Xiaoqing before, in her original plan, the time she wanted to take charge of so much money again had to be postponed until at least a year later.

As for the income~ let alone mention it.

Don't look at the fact that Chen Li's 500 million US dollars has multiplied several times in just [-] days, but this is because the Nasdaq index has been soaring since the beginning of the year.

In just 20 days, the Nasdaq index skyrocketed by a maximum of 650 points, which made Chen Li's invested funds turn around several times crazily.

But this situation ~ in the eyes of professionals like Mu Xiaoqing, is actually very abnormal.

Because the Nasdaq index has been rising during this period, it has not fallen!
Considering that Chen Li talked about the Internet bubble when discussing with her, Mu Xiaoqing has always acted cautiously.

After all~ Mu Xiaoqing also knows very well that this time is actually the best time for her to turn over. If she misses this opportunity, she doesn't know how long she will have to wait before turning over successfully.

But her tenacious persistence has paid off in the end.

Although there were not many opportunities for the Nasdaq index to rise so wildly, she still seized this opportunity after all, and did not let the large amount of money invested by BOSS suffer losses.

This is definitely good news for Mu Xiaoqing, at least she feels that her job should be stable.

Of course~ Mu Xiaoqing didn't think about more interests and needs. She is a very smart person, and she knows what she needs most right now.

But~ to her surprise, her young BOSS did not accept all the benefits as she imagined, but gave her a check for 200 million US dollars.

If it was just a check, then Mu Xiaoqing's sensibility would not rise so fast, but Chen Li's next words made Mu Xiaoqing, a strong woman, unable to hold back for an instant.

"This bonus~ should be enough for you to find a better lawyer and get your daughter's custody back by the way."

It was this sentence that made Mu Xiaoqing, who had always been strong and persistent to support her, burst into tears instantly. It was the kind that her best friend Zhang Ruolan couldn't coax her well.

Of course~ After Chen Li said this, he left the bank's VIP room directly.

He knew~Mu Xiaoqing had always held back a lot of energy, and it was this energy that made this woman whose family was torn apart due to a mistake at work~and her career suffered a complete failure, to persist until now.

In all fairness, Chen Li admired Mu Xiaoqing very much. He thought that if he switched places with the other party, it would be difficult for him to persevere like Mu Xiaoqing.

No~ it's not even hard, he just can't do it.

Ordinary people usually have a long period of sinking after being hit, but Mu Xiaoqing is almost positively facing the rest of her life with a quite calm emotion.

Chen Li reckoned that if it was him~ let alone a lifetime, it would be very difficult to get out~ at least it would take a lot of time.

Moreover~ ordinary people encounter such a blow, and want to make a comeback, it can be said that it is almost extremely difficult, but Mu Xiaoqing faces life positively, and hardly misses any opportunity.

Such a person~ To be honest, in Chen Li's opinion, he should be born in the circle of successful people.

So... Chen Li was actually showing his favor to Mu Xiaoqing!

Although Chen Li doesn't know much about the capital market, he doesn't resist having a talent in this field.

Especially~ when the Internet bubble burst, he still needed the other party to help him make money, and even a few years later, when the subprime mortgage crisis and the financial crisis and so on, he also needed someone to replace him.

So...he didn't mind giving Mu Xiaoqing a favor when he needed it the most.

The difference between giving charcoal in a timely manner and icing on the cake, as long as anyone with a little brain knows how to choose.

After recognizing Mu Xiaoqing's ability to work, Chen Li would naturally try to keep Mu Xiaoqing as much as possible.

Not to mention anything else~ Let the other party help you manage a lot of assets in the future~ That is also a very good thing.

So~ Chen Li straightforwardly chose to give charcoal in a timely manner.

And all he can do is actually give money, after all, he is really unfamiliar with the United States.

And after ending the money grabbing behavior before the Internet bubble burst, Chen Li immediately gave Mu Xiaoqing and Zhang Ruolan a long vacation.

Needless to say, Mu Xiaoqing, she needs to go to the United States to find a good lawyer with a high price, and is going to get back her daughter's custody.

The reason why it is a good lawyer with a high price is mainly because in capitalist countries, a good lawyer may not win a lawsuit, but a lawyer who can win a lawsuit must have a high price.

With Mu Xiaoqing's current state, even if all the 200 million US dollars were spent, as long as she could get her daughter's custody back, she would definitely not refuse.

And 200 million U.S. dollars~ Even in the United States in 2000, that was a very high commission.

Chen Li believed that it was absolutely impossible for Mu Xiaoqing's ex-husband to spend so much money to hire a lawyer with an equal and higher price to file a lawsuit against Mu Xiaoqing.

This also means that the possibility of Mu Xiaoqing wanting to get her custody back is very high.

Use the price to measure the chance of a lawyer winning a lawsuit~ To be honest, it sounds a little unreliable, but this trick...is real and effective in many capitalist countries.

As long as Mu Xiaoqing puts the 200 million dollar check there, there will naturally be lawsuits from the United States and wolves in the legal field who will return her daughter's custody to her, and even... Maybe she can get her daughter back. The ex-husband wants a sum of compensation and child support.

You know~ her ex-husband had cheated on her at the beginning, and Chen Li believed that those lawyers in America would never let that guy go.

So~ after learning that she had a vacation, Mu Xiaoqing took a flight to the United States that night.

Chen Li even thoughtfully sent Wang Li to accompany him. After all, the United States does not seem to be a safe place.

As for Zhang Ruolan, she also got half a month's vacation.

Speaking of it~ Ever since she became Chen Li's assistant, her main job was to take good care of Mu Xiaoqing.

However, her work is not without rewards. In addition to the half-month vacation, she also received a check for [-] US dollars.

The reason why the unit is US dollars is mainly because Chen Li's funds have not been transferred back to the mainland.

However, Chen Li does not intend to transfer all the money back to the mainland at this time, he will transfer part of the money, except for part of the repayment of the stock mortgage with Xu Xing, he also needs to give money to other projects Supplement part of working capital.

In order to raise the 500 million U.S. dollars before, he almost used up his own family property, and almost none of the industries under his name had much liquidity.

That is, Chen Li won the bet this time~ If he fails, then there will be some crisis in the development of various industries under his name.

Of course ~ a crash should not happen, but the speed of development will be limited to a certain extent.

Now that Chen Li has made money, he naturally wants to make up for it first.

So ~ Chen Li reserved 4000 million US dollars for the plan after the Internet bubble burst.

Chen Li estimates that after the dot-com bubble bursts, the 4000 million US dollars he left behind can be turned into at least [-] million US dollars.

With this money~ he basically doesn't need to take risks in the capital market for the time being.

Yes~ It’s just that he doesn’t take risks. It doesn’t mean that he won’t come to the capital market to make money in the future.

Because according to Chen Li's idea ~ when he waits until the subprime mortgage crisis and the financial crisis, he will definitely come here to make a fortune.

Even after two years, he didn't intend to let Wang Nan, the big fat sheep, go.

He planned to go there to grab a handful of Ding Sanshi's wool and become a minority shareholder of Wangnan by the way.

Not to mention how much money you earn from Wangnan, at least when you play Wangnan games in the future, don't be slaughtered by Wangnan as a pig.

Except for the reserved 4000 million U.S. dollars, Chen Li plans to transfer all the other money back to the mainland. With this money in hand, several industries under his name can also have a good one within the first year of the new century. the beginning.

After the Internet bubble completely burst, the funds on hand are estimated to be enough for him to develop and grow the industry in his hands.

In this way, when the subprime mortgage crisis occurs a few years later, Chen Li does not need to go around raising funds and go to the capital market to "gamble".

At that time. That should be called normal investment behavior.

In the evening of that day~ after Chen Li and Zhang Ruolan sent off Mu Xiaoqing and Wang Li who were flying to America, they did not stay on Hong Kong Island, but directly went back to Shencheng through customs.

In 2000, Shencheng already had the feeling of a city that never sleeps.

Although this city is not yet the super-first-tier city that was later compared to Yanshangyang, Shencheng's potential lies there. No one doubts that this small fishing village will become China's economic center in the future.

It was the first time in Chen Li's life that he learned about the city of Shencheng from a story in a textbook.

The name of that story is. Deep City Speed!

That's right~ that is the famous China World Trade Building, which is the Shencheng International Trade Building with a record of one floor in three days.

At that time, when Chen Li saw in the textbook that Shencheng could build a floor in three days, his first reaction was that he had no reaction.

Because at that time, in his cognition, Chen Li didn't have any feeling about the speed of building a building in three days.

He didn't know how amazing the speed of building a building in three days is for high-rise buildings. He only knew that when the political teacher at that time asked this question, he was punished to stand in the back of the classroom because he didn't answer it. up.

But it was precisely because of this standing penalty that Chen Li's memory of the Shencheng speed was still fresh.

So that night, Chen Li and Zhang Ruolan lived in a hotel near Guomao.

Of course~ the reason why Chen Li chose to stay here was not because Chen Li had anything special about Guomao, but because this hotel was booked for him by Xiao Ma.

That's right~ The reason why Chen Li didn't choose to fly back directly to Yanjing, but chose to go to Shencheng was because of Brother Ma's invitation.

As for why Xiao Ma invited him, the answer is very simple, because of OICQ!

That's right~ OICQ, which was renamed QQ in the previous life, is still called OICQ in February 2000.

Even~ Unlike the previous life where OICQ was free for a long time, OICQ in 2000 has already realized commercial operation.

OICQ started charging!

However, after OICQ started to charge fees, it was inevitably backlashed by market-oriented operations, that is, the growth rate of users gradually decreased, and even the phenomenon of negative growth appeared.

But even so, the companies that acquired OICQ from Brother Ma did not give up. After all, they spent real money to acquire OICQ. If OICQ cannot make them money.
So why did they acquire OICQ?

But obviously, at this time in 2000, the opponent's operations were somewhat unwise.

Because today's OICQ is not a dominant company at all, when the market share has not reached a certain standard, choosing to charge for operation at this time is almost equivalent to forcing users to choose other products of the same type.

Then the managers of OICQ were a little unhappy. They felt that they had bought a money-losing product.

So ~ the owner of OICQ intends to sell OICQ again.

Of course, this news has not been officially announced yet, and the reason why Xiao Ma knows this news is naturally because of Lao Zhang who is still working at OICQ.

And the reason why he notified Chen Li was exactly what Chen Li had told him before.

When OICQ intends to reassign, Chen Li must be notified!
