The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

December 7, 1987, Goldman Sachs headquarters, New York, USA.

"Shitford, this is unbelievable! Hasn't Excellent Technology Company replied to us yet?"

Goldman Sachs was at the height of its power on Wall Street, with a global network of connections.

Over the past few years, Goldman Sachs has established branches in many well-known cities around the world, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, London, Paris, and Frankfurt.

These branch offices collect relevant information from numerous companies around the world.

They need to thoroughly investigate the targets of their investments.

For example, Goldman Sachs has recently been researching Excellence Technology.

Because they did not obtain the relevant authorization from Excellent Technology, the information they were able to access was very limited.

But that doesn’t stop them from wanting to invest in cutting-edge technology.

This is because both of the company's products sell very well in the global market, and their revenue and profits are also very high.

As a wolf in sheep's clothing on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs' fangs are even sharper.

At the same time, as a top predator, Goldman Sachs has plenty of patience.

This time, however, they were outmaneuvered by Excellence Technology, and they were losing all their patience.

"No, so far, their response to us has always been to wait, that they are very busy and have too few people."

Upon hearing his subordinate's answer, the Goldman Sachs executives were furious.

"Fuck, they're playing us for fools! We've been tricked!"

"No, we can't wait any longer, or others will eat up all the profits."

After a moment's thought, Goldman Sachs executives immediately issued an order to send an ultimatum to Excellence Technology: if they still refused to accept Goldman Sachs' investment, then they shouldn't blame Goldman Sachs for being ruthless in the future.

There are many tactics in business competition.

However, unless absolutely necessary, there's no need to resort to shady methods.

While Goldman Sachs was issuing an ultimatum to Excellence Technology, Sequoia Capital was preoccupied with other matters.

This is because many of the technology companies invested in by Sequoia Capital, such as Apple, Intel, and Microsoft, have been severely impacted by this stock market crash.

After these companies' market capitalizations plummeted, some people are now buying on a small scale.

This is something that is very secretive, but Sequoia Capital is not a small company.

Since its founding in 1972, Sequoia Capital has invested in many technology companies, including Apple Inc., which is now publicly listed, as well as Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, Cisco Systems, and others.

Some of these companies, like Intel, were already on the verge of going public or had completed their Series A funding rounds before Sequoia Capital invested in them.

Regardless of which company it is, Sequoia Capital invests in these companies because it values ​​their long-term development.

Take Oracle Corporation as an example. Founded in 1977, the company is dedicated to software development, data storage, enterprise solutions, and other businesses. It may seem similar to Microsoft, but there are actually significant differences.

Microsoft was founded in 1975, focusing on the research and development and manufacturing of computer software services. Now it covers many business areas, such as computer operating systems and office software.

But Microsoft is still hesitant to get into hardware; they need to wait for an opportunity.

Sequoia Capital isn't paying much attention to these things. The current situation is that someone is buying up companies like Microsoft at rock-bottom prices, and it seems like they're about to stir things up again.

Although Sequoia Capital did not suffer significant losses after the stock market crash, the paper value of its shares still lost tens of billions of dollars.

As long as they don't sell, this loss is just a loss on paper.

However, now that someone is causing trouble, Sequoia Capital needs to be careful.

Originally, I was furious because of the stock market crash, and I had originally planned to invest in Excellence Technology to recover my losses.

As a result, they now have to temporarily suspend their investment in Excellence Technology because of this incident.

After all, with the backdoor issue escalating, Sequoia Capital definitely needs to address internal issues first before it can spare time to focus on external matters.

Harbin, Weizigou Campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, Secretary's Office.

Liu Deben, Lü Gongliang, Han Jue, and others gathered together to discuss the ultimatum sent by Goldman Sachs.

This year, thanks to its MP3 music player, Excellence Technology has become the top-grossing company in China.

Even among global technology companies, its revenue is definitely among the top.

Therefore, Liu Deben and other high-ranking officials attached great importance to this matter.

"Following Professor Wang's previous advice, we have adopted a delaying tactic with Goldman Sachs while also gathering damaging information about them, but progress is not going well so far."

Yang Deyong said in a deep voice:
"Sequoia Capital is no longer a concern; they're busy with internal affairs and can't spare any attention for us."

"So now the key is Goldman Sachs. How to keep this company out is our most important task right now!"

Before the stock market crash, Wang Duoyu had already provided a strategy for dealing with it.

Both Goldman Sachs and Sequoia Capital used delaying tactics to lull their opponents into a false sense of security.

At the same time, we need to gather dirt on these two companies, and when the truth comes out, spread this dirt so that Goldman Sachs and Sequoia Capital, the two giants, are caught off guard.

Once they've finished their work, Excellence Technology will swiftly accept investments from multiple Wall Street firms, and that matter will be pretty much over.

But it seems that Goldman Sachs has lost patience, yet it hasn't gathered any useful dirt on them. What can they do?

A complete falling out with Goldman Sachs is definitely not an option.

If Excellence Technology doesn't want to lose the US market, then it must back down and become smaller.

After all, a small change can have far-reaching consequences.

If Goldman Sachs were to break off relations, the damage could be quite significant.

If Excellence Technology's products cannot enter the US market, will Europe and Japan follow suit?
The chain reaction could even have a huge impact on companies such as Diaopai, Dolphin Group, and Huaxin.

Even though Huaxin Company gave some of its profits to telecommunications giants such as AT&T.

But which of these giants isn't a greedy person?
Moreover, these companies had just experienced a stock market crash and were in dire need of funds.

If a cleaver were to be handed to them at this time, companies like AT&T would definitely not hesitate to kick them while they're down.

Therefore, Excellence Technology must act cautiously, at the very least maintaining a semblance of peace, and absolutely must not take the initiative to break ties with Wall Street.

"Are there any other options we can use now?"

Liu Deben asked in a deep voice.

Everyone fell silent.

Suddenly, Fang Guangchao spoke up:
"Secretary, everyone, I remember that Walsin Technology, a subsidiary of Want Want Group, sells Alienware computers very well in the United States. Why doesn't this company receive any attention?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Deben, Lü Gongliang, and Han Jue fell even more silent.

Actually, it's not just Alienware computers; many other products from the Want Want Group, such as Pandora's luxury bags, clothes, watches, and jewelry, are very expensive and sell quite well in the United States.

However, no matter how well they sold, companies like Goldman Sachs seemed blind and didn't see it.

Don't Liu Deben and the others know why?

Of course they knew, because Pandora America is a genuine American company.

However, Pandora USA has set up a factory in Harbin, China, and also established branches in other parts of the world, so its profits are spread out.

Nobody really knows where those profits went.

This is a strategy that many multinational corporations have favored since the 1970s and 1980s, amidst the great wave of economic globalization.

For example, Motorola was completely overwhelmed by CEFC and only then realized the need to establish a factory in Harbin to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

And wouldn't you know it, Motorola was revived as a result.

Otherwise, Motorola would have actually filed for bankruptcy.

As we all know, taxes in the United States are high and very heavy.

Not only are there federal taxes, but also local taxes; in short, they keep collecting them over and over again, without end.

Even accountants need to be hired in several places.

With so many taxes and tax avoidance methods being gradually eliminated, multinational corporations are trying to find ways to keep their profits outside the United States.

This is what many multinational corporations have been doing since the 1970s.

The outflow of manufacturing is a normal phenomenon.

Lu Gongliang and Liu Deben were naturally aware of Want Want Group's methods, but at the time they disdained to do so.

In retrospect, it seems they made the wrong choice back then.

"Secretary, should I go and ask Professor Wang later?"

Yang Deyong suddenly asked a question.

We've all been silent for so long, and there's no good solution yet. We can't just keep wasting time, can we?

Upon hearing this, Liu Deben pondered for a moment and said:
"Okay, let's go together later."

Upon hearing this, Han Jue, Fang Guangchao, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

As Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) develops better and better, and after its upgrade, Liu Deben and his colleagues have even more things to do.

However, this also led to disagreements between them and Wang Duoyu on some matters.

There are also some issues left over from before, and there's really nothing that can be done about them.

Of course, the most important point is the stock market crash that happened some time ago.

Before the stock market crash, at the beginning of this year, Wang Duoyu had already formulated a plan to short US stocks.

As a result, Liu Deben and his team believed it was too risky, and they also received support from leaders such as Fang Lihe. Therefore, Lotte Group ultimately only invested US$2.5 billion to short US stocks.

In the end, Lotte Group only made a profit of over 800 million US dollars.

In contrast, companies like CITIC Securities, Shanghai Chengtou, and Yuexiu Company all boast overwhelmingly high returns.

Taking Kunming as an example, Qi Xingbang and his team did not make much profit during the appreciation of the Japanese yen and the mark at the end of 1985, but during this US stock market crash, their total profit was US$1.85 billion.

The concept of leverage has been thoroughly understood by people like Yuan Youlan, Qiu Xianzhang, and Qi Xingbang.

Despite having billions of dollars in funds, Lotte Group only earned a little over 800 million dollars due to its conservative investment strategy.

Such a great opportunity was wasted; such immense wealth and fortune were not even attained.

It would be impossible for Liu Deben and his group not to be frustrated.

Only Fang Li and his leaders could shamelessly come to Harbin to ask Wang Duoyu if Want Want Group had made a lot of money.

More than half an hour later, on the island in the middle of the lake, in the study villa, Wang Duoyu sat on the sofa in the reception area, smiling as he looked at Liu Deben and the others.

"Now that Goldman Sachs has issued an ultimatum, we definitely have to take action."

"By the way, Xiao Yang, haven't you guys gathered any dirt on Goldman Sachs yet?"

Yang Deyong, who was named, shook his head to indicate that he did not.

Wang Duoyu frowned and said:

"That shouldn't be the case. On Wall Street, Goldman Sachs has a lot of dirty laundry going on."

"Alright, don't worry about this for now. I'll take care of the arrangements. Just enjoy the show when the time comes."

He knew that Yang Deyong and his group were unreliable.

A group of people who have read too much have developed a gentlemanly demeanor.

There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but we treat people like gentlemen, while they act like petty people.

Goldman Sachs is clearly trying to swallow up Excellence Technology whole; their greed is written all over their faces. This is an open declaration that they want to forcibly take over Excellence Technology.

The MP3 music player was an absolutely groundbreaking product, bringing substantial profits to Excellence Technology.

If Goldman Sachs discovers that Excellence Technologies is not accepting their investment, it will inevitably take action.

This could lead to Hollywood music companies suspending their music licensing agreements with Excellence Technology and Facebook, or even resorting to lawsuits.

On the other hand, they resort to unorthodox methods to deal with Superior Technology.

Since Goldman Sachs is already being so aggressive, is it really necessary to be so polite to them?

Anyway, Wang Duoyu couldn't tolerate even a little bit.

"Thank you so much, Professor Wang!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Deyong immediately stood up happily and thanked him repeatedly.

"You're welcome!" Wang Duoyu waved his hand and said:

"I am also a part of Harbin Institute of Technology. Contributing to the school is simply my job."

Now that the crisis at Zhuoyue Technology had temporarily passed, Yang Deyong wisely left first.

After he left, Lü Gongliang spoke:

"Duoyu, I heard you gave your son a drone as a birthday present?"

"It's not really a birthday present."

Wang Duoyu shook his head and said:

"That drone is actually a home-use version, and it's a product that Harbin Institute of Technology will be selling next year."

"By the way, given what Excellence Technology is going through right now, how about we follow the same model as Walsin Technology for releasing this drone next year?"

Liu Deben and Lü Gongliang were well aware of Huaxin Technology's business model.

So they stopped arguing with Wang Duoyu and simply nodded in agreement.

However, there is a problem now: if it is released next year, it will probably be too late to register now, right?

"Of course we'll make it!" Wang Duoyu said with a smile.
"As early as two years ago, I had already arranged for people to apply for the establishment of several companies in the United States, one of which was Wujiang Technology, a company that was very suitable."

Wujiang Technology?

Liu Deben and Lü Gongliang looked at each other in bewilderment, then lowered their heads in shame.

Wang Duoyu really planned everything out, as if he had foreseen all of this might happen.

The two didn't stay long and left quickly.

Watching them leave, Wang Duoyu shook his head and chuckled, then turned to attend to his own business.

In September and October of this year, he spent most of his time monitoring the US stock market and protecting the short-selling orders of Maple Tree Capital and others.

After the stock market crash ended, he devoted most of his time to mathematics and scientific research.

Following his breakthrough in solving the top-level mathematical problem of the functor conjecture in early July, Wang Duoyu has completed two more papers from August to early December.

One paper presents a new estimate of the maximum value of the Dirichlet polynomial, while the other discovers a new type of automorphic infinite product.

Both papers are of high academic value, but the former is absolutely worthy of a Fields Medal, while the latter is only equivalent to half a medal.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu now has two more unpublished papers.

Aside from theoretical research achievements in basic mathematics, there's the advancement of Mach 5 fighter jets.

The turbine-based combined cycle engine project was launched in May 1985, and two and a half years have passed since then.

Currently, the new materials in many directions have been solved, and only about nine percent of the new materials remain to be completed.

Once completed, the engine can then enter the testing phase.

However, a new problem has arisen.

The previous ramjet engine is still undergoing testing, and it cannot be completely phased out in the short term.

If we don't want to delay the testing of the turbine-based combined cycle engine, then we will inevitably need to invest in a new wind tunnel laboratory.

Wang Duoyu would not hesitate to pay for anything that could be solved with money.

That's why he's so keen on making money.

The Mach 5 fighter jet project was officially launched in May 1982. Five and a half years have passed since then. The engine project alone, which Wang Duoyu has handled the most, has already received an investment of more than 2 billion RMB.

"Yes, the project is progressing as scheduled and hasn't been delayed too much."

Wang Duoyu checked the project schedule and found that, although a lot of money had been invested, it was all well spent.

As long as the project isn't delayed, there's no problem.

Before we knew it, it was 4:30 in the afternoon, and little Wang Junhong was finally out of school.

Today is his birthday, so he has been very excited since school.

However, this little guy has recently become obsessed with playing with drones and doesn't care whether his stepmother comes to his birthday party or not.

Zhu Ling hadn't attended his birthday celebration for a year or two, and in the last year or two, she's visited Wang Junhong even less frequently.

It seems she has forgotten that she has such a son.

Since Journey to the West, Zhu Ling's acting career has reached a new peak, making her much busier.

Anyway, I rarely see anyone. This time, Zhu Ling also came to Wang Junhong's birthday party; it was her first time stepping into the lakeside villa.

After entering the villa, Zhu Ling was indeed more reserved than before.

Wang Duoyu's status at Harbin Institute of Technology was beyond her imagination.

Although the new campus in Weizigou has only been built for a short time, Wang Duoyu has already secured the best spot in it.

It's an artificial island, and inside the island are three villas, one of which is actually Wang Duoyu's private office.

The entire island is heavily guarded, with only one passage for entry and exit.

But because it is winter now, the lake is frozen, and it is okay for people to walk on the ice or even drive on it.

Then, while Zhu Ling was strolling around the island, she discovered that there were quite a few security cameras.

This is a very novel high-tech product; it's said to be CCTV surveillance footage, and it's also shown in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies.

Zhu Ling already knew about it.

So the island in the middle of the lake where Wang Duoyu lives is indeed extraordinary.

Leaving aside Zhu Ling's inner thoughts, Wang Junhong, the birthday boy, was especially happy today.

Receiving the gift was secondary; the key was that his father promised him that after a while, when he had a holiday, he would let him experience the fun of piloting an airplane.

It's about actually flying a plane, not controlling a drone.

The reason Wang Duoyu agreed to the kid's unreasonable request was because Mu Xiaowu and the others had mentioned it when they were chatting about helicopters, and the little guy remembered it.

Wang Duoyu didn't prepare any gifts, but simply said that he would grant the little guy's request if he could do it.

Having already received a drone as a gift some time ago, Wang Junhong naturally wouldn't ask his father to send him another drone.

So I made this request.

A real man keeps his word, so Wang Duoyu did not break his promise.

Instead, he agreed.

The eldest brother's birthday has passed, and the second and third brothers' birthdays are just around the corner.

After all, Wang Jun'an's birthday is January 9th, Wang Junkang's birthday is March 26th, and as for Wang Yifei's birthday, it's August 25th, which is still a long way off.

"Dad, can I have the same birthday present as my older brother?"

The second son made his request, only to be slapped on the back of the head by his mother. "How can you be like this? Just accept whatever gift your father gives you. What else do you want for your birthday? You think you're all grown up now?"

They're all spoiled!
Liu Xiaoli did this for a very simple reason: Wang Junan was still too young.

Wang Junhong is already seven years old, but he looks like a twelve or thirteen-year-old. He's almost as tall as Liu Xiaoli's shoulder, which is quite impressive.

Therefore, Wang Duoyu's willingness to agree to the little guy's unreasonable request was also due to this consideration.

But Wang Jun'an is not suitable; he is too young.

Wow!
The little guy immediately resorted to wailing as a solution.

This is the method he uses when he wants something but can't get it.

Unfortunately, it's useless.

Normally, Liu Xiaoli might have softened and agreed.

However, with Zhu Ling present today, along with other relatives and friends, Liu Xiaoli naturally couldn't agree to the little one's request.

She even handed Xixi over to Wang Meili to hold for a while, and then she personally took a bamboo stick to deal with Wang Junan.

In the end, Wang Junhong's birthday celebration ended with the second child crying.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Wang Junhong had a weekend off. As promised, his father took him to the airport.

Lu Yuening and the other children went along too, but they just watched and didn't even get to experience flying.

While Wang Duoyu was busy taking care of the child, in New York...

In the Stratton Oakmont office building on Long Island, Jordan and Andy met with one of their most important investors today.

Andy has resigned from Maple Tree Capital and is now fully committed to starting his own company, Stratton Oakmont.

Maple Capital did not invest in the company. Instead, O'Brien introduced another investor, Dylan Dario, to Jordan and Andy.

Dylan Dalio is the head of Sun Investment Company, a subsidiary of Maple Leaf Holdings, which is also based on Wall Street.

"We have reviewed all the relevant information about your company. Our company, Sun Company, is willing to invest US$1.5 million for a 45% stake. What do you say?"

Jordan and Andy were both taken aback after hearing this.

Business is business, but this price is too high.

The price was too high for Andy, so he wanted to lower it.

The main problem is that he owns too many shares, 45%, while he and Jordan previously owned 57% and 43% respectively.

Now that Sun Capital has acquired a stake, it's taking 45% of the shares at once. This means that he and Jordan have gone from being the owners to being partners, or even being led.

This is definitely not possible.

But Jordan was very satisfied.

The reason is simple: he was originally just a penniless young man.

When he started the company, he didn't have much money; he relied more on his knowledge of junk stocks and his sales skills.

With an investment of $1.5 million, the Sun takes 45%, Jordan owns 23.65%, and Andy owns 31.35%.

Together, the two of them hold 55 percent of the shares, which is still higher than that of Sun Investment Company.

Sun Capital invested $1.5 million in cash, but only acquired a 45% stake. To be honest, from the current perspective, Andy and Jordan have made a fortune.

“No, Mr. Dalio, your shareholding is too high. I believe 35% is the most reasonable.”

Andy said earnestly.

In business, since Dylan Dario is asking for an exorbitant price, shouldn't Andy be able to negotiate a lower price on the spot?

That makes perfect sense.

Dylan Dario was speechless; he was just putting on an act.

Unexpectedly, Andy took it seriously.

But whatever, since the other party is so serious, he can't just act recklessly. He'll have a proper talk with them.

Two hours later, Andy couldn't take it anymore.

With his full power unleashed, Dylan Dario displayed the aura of a Wall Street financial giant, while Andy was merely a fledgling analyst.

Even Jordan Belfort was just a trader before.

So in the end, the two of them accepted Dylan Dario's request.

Sun Investment Company invested $1.5 million to acquire 40 percent of Stratton Oakmont Company.

The remaining 60 percent was divided between Andy and Jordan, with the former holding 34.2 percent and the latter holding 25.8 percent.

After settling the matter, Dylan Dario left.

Dylan wasn't very optimistic about Stratton Oakmont.

They sell junk stocks to the poor, and then sell them to the rich.

Haha, if the rich were really that stupid, they would have become rich long ago.

Jordan was overjoyed after Dylan Dario left.

"Andy, did you see that? I'm one step closer to becoming a millionaire."

Based on Sun Capital's investment, Jordan's 25.8% stake is valued at nearly one million US dollars.

However, this money couldn't be converted into cash, so Jordan could only watch with envy.

Currently, he and Andy need to recruit and train salespeople as soon as possible, and then have these salespeople call wealthy individuals and use sales techniques to persuade them to invest their money in junk stocks.

Only junk stocks can make Stratton Oakmont a lot of money.

Commissions on junk stocks can exceed 50%, while commissions on stocks of well-known companies like IBM and Apple are less than 1%.

The profit margins between the two are vastly different.

"I know I know!"

Andy, who was being hugged, appeared calm on the surface, but was actually very excited inside.

However, his excitement only lasted for a short while before being suppressed by the immense pressure.

"Jordan, we need to hire people as soon as possible. We also need to move our offices to Wall Street. Only then can our company gain the trust of those wealthy individuals."

This was Dylan Dario's request, and it was also Dylan's side that suggested they sell junk stocks to wealthy individuals.

Upon hearing this, Jordan nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"When I left Wall Street in October, I thought it would take a long time to get back, but I didn't expect to be back in less than two months."

Andy didn't seem particularly moved when he heard this.

Over the next few days, Jordan and Andy split up and quickly found an office in Manhattan for rent.

They also started hiring.

In a cramped training room, Jordan personally trained 32 newly hired sales staff.

"Please sell me this pen!"

As soon as the training course began, Jordan gave the thirty-two sales novices in the room a lesson that left a deep impression.

Everyone's sales skills are mediocre, lacking any highlights whatsoever, and most will be rejected.

Jordan personally demonstrated to sales novices how to create demand.

"If you were to sell this pen on the street, many people wouldn't have this need, just like when we call those wealthy people, they don't have this need either."

"Come on, who wants to buy those junk stocks?"

Inside the room, the sales novices burst into laughter, but Jordan didn't.
“But we’re going to sell this junk to them and make a commission out of these rich people’s pockets. But those rich people aren’t stupid; on the contrary, they’re very smart. So what do we do?”

"We need to build trust with the wealthy; we'll start by selling them shares of companies like Apple and IBM."

These are all blue-chip stocks, very sought-after, but not for Stratton Oakmont.

Because the commission is only one percent, you can't make any money.

If Stratton Oakmont only sold shares of these blue-chip companies, it wouldn't even have enough money to pay its office rent.

However, junk stocks are different; they have very high commissions, which is Stratton Oakmont's profit source.

By establishing trust with wealthy individuals through trading blue-chip stocks, Stratton Oakmont could then fraudulently sell junk stocks to them, earning substantial commissions in the process.

This is how this company survives on Wall Street.

This is why Wang Duoyu wanted to invest in the company.

Jordan and Andy are like troublemakers, stirring up trouble on Wall Street.

Even though it will take time, Wang Duoyu believes that with Jordan's abilities, he will definitely be able to develop quickly.

It's so great that you can earn some pocket money without having to take on any major responsibility.

After all, even if an investigation were to be conducted, it would be on Jordan and Andy.

However, it probably won't be long before Jordan is no longer satisfied with the current share distribution.

After all, he is the soul of this company.

Just as Stratton Oakmont moved into Wall Street and began to make great strides, Wang Jianchao was in his office, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

The Christmas shopping festival has begun, but compared to the same period last year, Pandora's average daily revenue per store has decreased by 18%.

Eighteen percent doesn't seem like much, and it wasn't significantly affected by the stock market crash.

In fact, Pandora's revenue in late October and throughout November was far below the same period last year, even worse than the off-season.

I was hoping to recoup some losses during Christmas, but it looks like that's out of the question now.

Luxury goods have been greatly affected, but brands like Yuma and Yuebu have been less affected.

Of course, even so, many companies, including Yuma Apparel, have seen their revenue decline by about one to five percent compared to the same period last year.

Revenue decline is a problem that affects the entire society.

Who can blame them when the stock market crash has only just passed?
The entire United States lost more than two trillion dollars, which is more than the US national debt this year.

Whether it was Maple Tree Capital, Quantum Fund, Bridgewater Associates, which made a lot of money, or Magellan Fund, which lost a lot of money, December 1987 passed quickly.

Inside Berkshire Hathaway's headquarters office, Warren Buffett is issuing orders to his subordinates: buy Coca-Cola at rock-bottom prices.

December is almost over, and the US stock market has hit rock bottom.

However, just a few days ago, stocks of companies such as Coca-Cola, Apple, Microsoft, ExxonMobil, AT&T, General Electric, General Motors, Sony, and Ford Motor Company actually rose to varying degrees.

When Buffett saw the stock price fluctuating so much, he immediately realized something was wrong and knew he couldn't wait any longer.

Therefore, he needs to arrange for funds to enter the market and quickly buy up Coca-Cola at its lowest price.

Logically speaking, no one should be paying attention to this company.

After all, Coca-Cola's stock price is not low, and there are many stocks on the market, especially in the secondary market.

In October, Coca-Cola's stock price was $53, then fell to $26, but in recent days, due to stock market fluctuations, the stock price has rebounded to $27.5.

The Coca-Cola Company has a total of 372 million shares, and at the current share price of $27.5, its market value is $10.23 billion.

It still has a long way to go to reach its peak market capitalization of $19.716 billion.

It seems unlikely that it will ever return to its original price of $53.

While Buffett was arranging for people to begin acquiring Coca-Cola stock, Goldman Sachs was under investigation by the IRS for tax evasion.

Several senior executives were imprisoned for insider trading and bribery, resulting in a brief power vacuum at Goldman Sachs.

During this period, several companies shorted Goldman Sachs stock, with the securities departments of First Citigroup and Merrill Lynch leading the charge.

Many people haven't paid attention to companies like Summit Global, Maple Tree Capital, and Horizon Capital that follow Merrill Lynch.

This time, Goldman Sachs is really in trouble.

Representatives from the board of directors temporarily took over the management of Goldman Sachs.

However, due to internal and external troubles, Goldman Sachs' stock price has been unable to stabilize for the time being.

The most critical thing was that at that very moment, a fire broke out in the office building where Goldman Sachs was located.

It's so unacceptable for a fire to occur in such a high-rise office building.

Moreover, because it was a high-rise building, the fire trucks could only watch helplessly and could only evacuate people first, prioritizing saving lives.

Unfortunately, the panic caused by the fire continued, leading to an elevator accident.

Top capitalists with fat heads and big ears can leave the building by helicopter from the rooftop, but ordinary rich people have no way to do so.

The fire was severe, and the elevator was broken, so we had to take the stairs.

Some people panicked and apparently shouted that someone was dead, which caused a small-scale stampede.

In short, on this day, the building where Goldman Sachs is located became the most watched focus on Wall Street.

Just as Goldman Sachs executives were scrambling to escape, Goldman Sachs' stock price was also plummeting.

It fell quite sharply.

In just one day, the stock price dropped by two percent, a terrifying decline.

The fire was merciless, burning a lot of Goldman Sachs' documents.

What utter bad luck!

Even at this point, many people still didn't understand what had caused this unexpected event at Goldman Sachs.

If Goldman Sachs is investigated by the IRS, it can only be said that Goldman Sachs has brought this upon itself, and the subsequent drop in stock price is simply the work of its competitors.

However, if the fire is not caused by human error, then it must be because even God couldn't bear to see it happen.

The cause of the fire is still unknown, and we need to wait for the results of the subsequent investigation.

However, Goldman Sachs' losses are already quite evident.

The shareholders behind Goldman Sachs were all furious.

Merrill Lynch, First Citibank, and other companies are definitely among the culprits behind the massive stock price plunge.

Unfortunately, they are currently unable to deal with enemies such as Merrill Lynch; they also need to resolve the immediate fire problem first.

When this news reached Wang Duoyu's ears, he shook his head. (End of Chapter)
