Rebirth 1981 starts with saving the sisters from the neighboring village.

Peng Wanhua smiled and said, "If we don't distribute housing and solve the problem of jobs, how can a small city like Xuefeng attract talents, retain talents, and develop?"

He remembered that in his previous life, some cities offered money directly to graduates and settle down in order to attract college students and young people.

It seems that the first one was Pengcheng.

While other first-tier cities were still restricting settlement, Shenzhen allowed outsiders to settle down with just a diploma and gave them tens of thousands of yuan.

Even Pengcheng City gave tens of thousands, and then the district gave tens of thousands more.

Later, other cities woke up and started to compete for people, including college students.

Things like free down payment and settling-in allowance for graduates who settle down there.

However, within a few years, the population began to decline, and even if these cities woke up a few years late, everything had already been determined.

Now, if Xuefeng City can realize the development factor of population and use policies to attract talents, it may become one of the megacities in the future.

But the policy of not allocating housing and not guaranteeing job assignments has been decided. If Mayor Zhang wants to take some measures to attract college students and talents, he needs some courage.

Now it depends on how Mayor Zhang takes the lead and how he carries it out.

"I...I need to think about it carefully." Mayor Zhang suddenly fell into thought.

Peng Wanhua nodded and said nothing more.

In the next few days, Peng Wanhua, Wu Xiangzhen and Qin Wanqiu discussed the investment in Xuefeng City, and then prepared to stay at home for a few days.

As a result, someone from the province came again the next day.

Being of the same level as him, he couldn't just close the door and not see guests.

Another day of meetings.

Then there were other people from the science and education fields who came to visit.

After being visited for several days in a row, Peng Wanhua realized that he would not have any free time if he stayed any longer.

Just go back to Hong Kong.

After returning to Hong Kong, I finally have some peace and quiet.

Meanwhile, shares of internet companies in the United States continued to fall.

The entire Internet industry seemed to have entered a cold winter overnight!

Those who have no money and have to survive by burning money die the most miserably.

It closed down and went bankrupt.

The next most miserable companies are those that still have money in their pockets but are taking more aggressive actions.

For example, Alibaba.

Jack Ma plans to take one big bite and build an international company.

First, Alibaba’s headquarters were moved to Shanghai and the United States, implementing a dual headquarters structure.

It also followed the example of Amazon, setting up branches in various countries in Asia and Europe, and even invited vice presidents of Fortune 500 companies to join.

There are a lot of high-end talents, but they are seriously unable to adapt to the local environment and the company's business is in a mess.

The company encountered the Internet bubble and was once on the verge of bankruptcy.

In order to cope with such a serious situation, Alibaba convened a board meeting.

At the board meeting, investment companies under the Family Innovation Fund, Wanjiang Investment, Red Star Online, Hualan Consulting, and Huaqi Bank immediately asked Jack Ma to stop this irrational behavior.

Although Jack Ma was not forced to step down, representatives of several investors complained about his crazy behavior.

In this environment, such radical behavior is obviously irrational.

There is even suspicion of chaos and waste of company funds.

Perhaps out of consideration for someone's face, several investors were more restrained and did not curse loudly.

Otherwise, with Jack Ma's behavior and results, he will definitely be scolded and even have his investment withdrawn.

The news reached Peng Wanhua.

Peng Wanhua called Jack Ma and asked him to take a clear look at the current situation of the Internet and think carefully about how to survive this Internet winter.

Jack Ma immediately understood.

After learning from his mistakes, he cut the Gordian knot by dismissing executives who were not adapting to the local environment, abolishing branches and dual headquarters around the world, and moving the headquarters to Hangzhou.

This incident taught him a hard lesson.

As a result, when he later gave lectures, he often said: Sea turtles need to be farmed in freshwater, and turtles also need to soak in the sea.

No need to talk too much about sea water and fresh water, those are just the tears shed during the current cold winter of the Internet.

Of course, there are also companies that are doing very well.

For example, leading companies such as Meijing Technology, Red Star Online, HiChina Technology, Huaxu Blog and Novel Reading Network.

Cashing out early allowed the investors of these companies to make a fortune.

There is no doubt that the main investor is Peng Wanhua's team.

In order to maintain stable stock prices, the controlling shareholders of these companies, such as Catherine, Qin Wanqiu, Zhang Mingming, Chen Xiaoxu and Peng Wanxing, did not choose to reduce their holdings.

It even issued an announcement of increased holdings to cover up for the investors.

This allowed Peng Wanhua's investment company to cash out smoothly.

I have to say, this wave of cutting leeks is really satisfying!

Peng Wanhua’s profits from cashing out from various Internet companies are worth hundreds of billions of dollars!

Therefore, there is no need to panic even if the company's market value drops.

In addition, the Internet bubble has only squeezed out the bubbles, and the business and users of these companies are very stable and even growing, and there is no problem with the company's cash flow.

The business is as steady as an old dog.

There are also gaming companies like Red Star Interactive Entertainment and NetEase.

The game market is constantly growing, and the two phenomenal online games under Red Star Interactive Entertainment have become a money-making tool!

These include "Legend", "Miracle", "Dragon Clan" acquired from South Korea, as well as several games such as "Stone Age" acquired from Xiao Ri.

Under the operation of Red Star Interactive Entertainment, it became popular in the mainland and Southeast Asian markets.

All added together, Red Star Interactive Entertainment's revenue rose against the market trend and directly exceeded 110 billion US dollars!

Become the world's largest and most profitable online game company!

Some even predicted that if Red Star Interactive Entertainment had gone public before the Internet bubble, it might have become the first company worth over one trillion US dollars!

However, there is no if, because Red Star Interactive Entertainment does not want to be listed on the US stock market and has other arrangements.

As for NetEase, it was established not long ago and, relying on the big tree of Red Star Network Interactive Entertainment, it has developed a series of casual chess and card games and sold them through Red Star's game platform.

Although you can't make a big profit, you can still balance your income and expenditure, so making a small profit is not a problem.

In addition, Ding Sanshi was stimulated and inspired by the Red Star large-scale online game, and had the spare capacity to mobilize funds and manpower to develop Westward Journey Online.

In his previous life, Ding Sanshi chose to go public during the Internet bubble period, but his stock price fell below the IPO price immediately after listing, and even dropped to US$0.5 at one point!

It dealt a heavy blow to his confidence!

At one point he wanted to sell the company.

As a result, the acquirer gave up the acquisition due to NetEase’s financial problems.

This caused Ding Sanshi to suffer a critical blow!

Throughout his life, Ding Sanshi's company has operated very stably and he has repeatedly expressed his intention to go public.

But at the board meeting, the representative sent by Peng Wanhua directly rejected the proposal.

Both sides even slammed the table during the meeting.

Finally, it was Peng Wanhua who called Ding Sanshi and told him: "Don't rush to list NetEase on the US stock market. Wait another year and you will know then."
