Chapter 558 I didn’t say anything
Mu Xiaoqing came back to China this time~naturally for work.
Although getting back custody of her daughter is her primary goal, this primary goal is based on the condition that she has a sufficient financial foundation.
After all, there is a team of lawyers to help her handle the lawsuit there, and she only needs to wait until the lawsuit comes to court in two months before going back.
This time ~ Mu Xiaoqing is very confident, after all, it is the United States!
As someone who has lived in the United States for many years, Mu Xiaoqing knows very well what role a large amount of U.S. dollars can play in a capitalist country like the United States.
Not to mention that she has an advantage in this lawsuit, even if she doesn't. As long as she lays out the check, the legal litigators will naturally help create favorable conditions for her.
Instead of worrying about how to get back the custody of her daughter, Mu Xiaoqing is now worried about how to get along better with her daughter in the future.
And this first requires Mu Xiaoqing to have a good economic foundation.
Therefore, Mu Xiaoqing still understands the importance of the two sides very clearly.
"BOSS~ Do you have any instructions for the next work?"
In fact, as a professional, Mu Xiaoqing didn't really want to ask this question.
After all, the Nasdaq index fell from 5,000 points that Chen Li could remember to more than 1,000 points that he had some memories of, and the time span before and after was as long as two years.
But this time, Chen Li did not hesitate, he nodded directly.
But if you have to choose the most unsuitable company, it is definitely Microsoft.
"But I just want to short it and take advantage of this opportunity when the Internet bubble bursts."
Chen Li was still hesitant before, but now he is very determined.
Because in the coming April, a federal judge in the United States will make a ruling that Microsoft violated antitrust laws.
Therefore, Chen Li divided his funds into two parts, and one part was used to short the Nasdaq index.
Just like the Microsoft antitrust case that is currently making a fuss, why does this happen?
Of course, it's because Microsoft is so powerful that its competitors have to use legal weapons to protect themselves.
Because compared to simply shorting the Nasdaq index, if you short a certain company in the short term, you will actually make greater profits.
Regarding the Microsoft antitrust case, in fact, it has been repeated repeatedly in recent years.
But here's the problem. Although Chen Li knew that the market value of these companies had plummeted after the Internet bubble burst, he had no specific impression of when the decline began and to what extent.
Because if he remembers correctly, Microsoft's stock price will plummet 60% this year.
"You also know the current situation. I reserved 40 million US dollars before to prepare for this time."
Mu Xiaoqing looked at Chen Li, as if she wanted to get a definite answer from Chen Li.
"I plan to divide this money into two parts."
Previously, Chen Li was worried that his influence might cause the Internet bubble to burst prematurely, so he withdrew from Nasdaq in time.
It was precisely because of his worries that he escaped early, but ended up losing a lot of money.
But this time, Chen Li admitted that he suddenly wanted to win.
Therefore, the media has been overwhelmingly publicizing it, and there are bills in various parts of the United States that provide lawsuits against Microsoft. Anyway, the matter is making a fuss, but there is no definite conclusion.
So, everything depends on Chen Li's choice.
Of course, even if it is the latter, Mu Xiaoqing still has to bear part of the responsibility.
No matter what, you should choose Apple or Cisco.
In fact, if he followed the safest method, Chen Li should invest all his funds in shorting the Nasdaq index.
But Microsoft was different. Chen Li clearly remembered that Microsoft's stock price would definitely plummet once in April.
As for whether Microsoft is engaged in monopoly, is there any need to ask?
But to be honest, the so-called antitrust cases are no longer just about monopoly or non-monopoly.
"I know what you want to say. I also know exactly what kind of company Microsoft is."
Then almost as soon as Mu Xiaoqing turned to the first page, her expression changed.
But compared to other Internet companies, even if Microsoft's market value is a bit artificially high, it is not that outrageous.
What Mu Xiaoqing has to do is to help Chen Li get back some of the lost wealth.
Of course, this is actually a good thing, because the reason why those people use these companies as examples is because these companies finally survived the cold winter caused by the Internet bubble.
It's just that Microsoft was the first to be attacked.
The current situation, to put it bluntly, is that Microsoft is too powerful, so everyone wants to get a piece of Microsoft's pie.
If found guilty of this crime, Microsoft may face the risk of being split up.
After all, who made Chen Li remember that Microsoft was about to be found guilty of violating antitrust laws in April?
It's just that compared to Chen Li's affirmation, Mu Xiaoqing is quite incomprehensible.
You know, Microsoft was actually accused of monopoly as early as 1997, but there has been no conclusion.
The size of the risk and the size of the profit are linked to each other.
Because although he could not remember the specific time when the Nasdaq index collapsed, it must have been before the ruling on the Microsoft antitrust case.
In other words, the Nasdaq index had declined to a certain extent before April, and cracks began to appear in the Internet bubble.
This is currently the company with the highest market value on Nasdaq, and the most important thing is that Microsoft is not like those companies with no reputation. The reason why they are where they are today is indeed because of the company's strength.
After all, both companies have fallen by nearly 80%, which is far more profitable than Microsoft's 60%.
Mu Xiaoqing was stunned when she heard Chen Li mention Microsoft's antitrust case.
Starting from 5,000 points and going short until it reaches around 2,000 points, the wealth lost is undoubtedly quite astonishing.
At this time, BOSS only needs to choose how to make a profit at this opportunity.
"I chose Microsoft for a certain reason."
If Chen Li's memory is correct, Amazon will lose nearly 90% of its market value in this Internet bubble, the famous Apple also fell by 80%, and Cisco, one of the current giants on the Nasdaq, also lost 80% of its market value.
It also fell by 80%.
“Is this actually this company?”
It can be considered as making up for household expenses!
After all, Chen Li's family has a big business now, and money is needed everywhere, so he will naturally not be polite.
Chen Li naturally knew what Mu Xiaoqing was thinking. In fact, if he had not known that the antitrust case would change in April, he would not have chosen this absolute overlord of the Internet industry.
Not only Microsoft, but also Amazon, Apple, and even Cisco are all on Chen Li's list.
"BOSS, you mean...?"
In fact, to be honest, even if Chen Li does not know the details of the impact of the bursting of the Internet bubble, Chen Li actually has more other choices, even better choices.
So after the ruling on Microsoft's antitrust case, both Microsoft's stock price and the Nasdaq index began to plummet like an avalanche.
For example, if the BOSS chooses the wrong one and loses money, then she may lose her job.
Mu Xiaoqing whispered the name of the company. After thinking for a moment, she stared at Chen Li and said.
Chen Li held a document in his hand, which was a plan he had asked Zhang Ruolan to sort out for him.
As for Chen Li, he has been very vigilant precisely because he remembered that the Microsoft antitrust case emerged in April.
"BOSS, I think I need to remind you about this company."
So~ don’t look at Microsoft’s current appearance, but they are actually very powerful!
Of course~ Mu Xiaoqing also thinks that the current market value of Microsoft is somewhat exaggerated. After all, it is an Internet bubble~!
"Take a look!"
But Mu Xiaoqing no longer cares so much! After all, she has already received the check for two million US dollars, and the money has been arranged as the cost of the lawsuit.
Some people even said later that the real burst of the Internet bubble actually started in April 2000.
And these bankrupt companies are not even qualified to be mentioned.
The hesitation~ is because Chen Li, a little butterfly, has been more or less involved with Microsoft before.
“Do you know about the antitrust case?”
"What are you giving me?"
But by coincidence, this happened to be the time when the Internet bubble was about to burst, and the news that the so-called technology giants were about to collapse heightened people's panic about technology stocks.
In her opinion, Chen Li has enough reasons to short any computer and Internet-related company.
If there is really a loss, then Mu Xiaoqing is not sure whether he can continue his job.
The two may seem similar, but they are actually very different.
And the most important thing is that Mu Xiaoqing does not think she will lose this job, just like she thinks there will be no loss this time, because
To be continued...
