Chapter 118 The Bankrupt Zheng Hongjie
There is a famous saying in "Besieged City" - marriage is like a besieged city, people outside want to go in, people inside want to come out. This sentence also applies to the stock market, and there is no sense of disobedience.
Five years ago, Zheng Hongjie was just an ordinary taxi driver. He stumbled into the food processing industry by bragging to a client while driving.
Hearing the drunk passenger pat his chest and brag about how the food processing factory he runs makes money, he was slightly moved. When he was only in his twenties, he was naturally unwilling to be a driver all his life, so from then on, he began to try to understand this unfamiliar industry.
Later, with the little savings at home, he borrowed some money from relatives, and he successfully built a small food processing workshop that was not well managed.
Although he never went to university, but with his hard-working and studious nature, he just relied on the half-tone management knowledge he was now learning to make that small workshop bigger and bigger, and finally developed into today's big factory.
The orders came like snowflakes, and the canned food and pasta that came out of his factory were not only of good quality, but also much more affordable than their counterparts. The factory is getting more and more prosperous, buying land, purchasing production lines, hiring more employees... Even Kang Shuaifu has placed an OEM order with his factory.
Within five years, Boss Zheng's reputation spread in his hometown. Originally, those relatives and fellow villagers always called him Jiezi and Erdan, but now they all call him Boss Zheng and Brother Zheng in a unified way.
From nothing. To set up a factory in Wanghai City to get rich, buy a car and buy a house. Jinyi's homecoming...from a brother to the boss. His five years of experience could literally write a book.
However, that all changed at the end of last year.
The market bottomed out, and the remarks of the sword pointing to 6124 were rampant. At that time, the market was still fluctuating below 3,000 points. One of his business friends persuaded him during a drinking session that the stock market is easy to make money. If you have spare money, you can try it.
Although he was a little drunk at the time, Zheng Hongjie's mind was still clear. Reason tells him. That zero-sum game is not the right way. A market that does not produce any product. How is it possible to create value?
Zheng Hongjie did not listen to the temptation of his friend, but persuaded that friend not to be obsessed with that unreliable thing. But his friend just sneered and ignored him.
Four months later, his friend bought two homes in the city. The original Orient was also replaced by a BMW. While drinking, the friend with a red neck bragged about how, with a principal of one million, he had smashed the Quartet in the sea of stocks, and set a proud record of five times in a row.
Seeing that his friend made a fortune, Zheng Hongjie felt a little regretful in his heart.
If he had listened to his friend's advice, let alone two suites at this time, I'm afraid that both villas will be occupied. He worked hard for four months, and he didn't earn as much as his friend in a few days.
After three rounds of drinking, maybe it's just out of envy. Zheng Hongjie asked casually, "Is it too late to enter the venue now?"
Hearing this, his friend immediately became interested, and kept slapping his chest and boasted that "the economic situation is very good", "the sword points to ten thousand points", "this is a 'war' that bets on the results of reform and reform, Impossible to go back!"
After a burst of impassioned speeches, Zheng Hongjie was moved. It would take him ten years to become a multi-millionaire based on his food processing plant alone, but it might only take a few days in the stock market.
Back home, he hesitated to open an account. Listening to the advice of my friend, I tentatively put a small sum of 20,000 yuan into it. He didn't bother to put it in it, because he was busy with business matters, and it was not until a month later that he remembered that he had ever bought a stock.
At that time, he just logged into the account out of curiosity, wanting to see how much the 20,000 yuan has become now. It's only a small amount of 20,000 yuan, even if he loses a lot, he doesn't feel very distressed.
It's okay not to look at it, but it startled him. The stock capital of 20,000 has now turned into 50,000!
At that time, he only felt that the world was spinning, and what was circling in his mind was not excitement, but regret.
Yes, it is regret.
If you bought 2 million at the time, it is now 5 million! If he had borrowed money to buy 10 million at that time, he would have become a multi-millionaire at this moment...
Greed is endless. Looking at the dazzling 5,000-point red letter, I thought of the remarks in Renren Daily that "the bull market has only reached the middle of the mountain" a few days ago. He quickly transferred all the two million in the bank card to the stock market account. Among them, another one million was a bank loan originally used to expand the factory.
"Renren Daily will never cheat the common people, will it?" "xxxx will never lie?" "If it really collapses, xxxx will be the first to sit still!"
Well, don't say it, what about you? you bite me?
At the beginning, he was really excited, and he earned 40,000 at two o'clock a day. Just looking at the red line, he felt his whole body trembling with excitement. He has faintly started to dream of becoming a multi-millionaire, completely forgetting his original prudence.
However, after only half a month, he realized the feeling of going from heaven to hell.
The index went all the way down, the limit of 1,000 shares became the norm, and the media sang more all the way.
"A thousand pieces of gold can't buy a cow to turn around."
"Short-term pullbacks are for better gains."
"Long-term iron bottom, bold buy."
"The broader market has fallen unstoppably, and the central mother is discussing cutting interest rates and reserve ratios."
"80% of institutions believe that the market has bottomed out."
"The entry of pension money into the market is under discussion."
"Breaking down 3,000 points, a short-term rebound should not be seen as a reversal."
......
All the way to fill positions all the way to set. The friend who had patted his chest and assured him that he would not drop below 4,000 points has disappeared. It is said that he borrowed money that should not have been borrowed, left his wife and children and fled to the south.
Zheng Hongjie wanted to die, but he couldn't. He has a wife who loves him and a daughter who idolizes her father.
No need to think about plant expansion.
Because the loan is used for other purposes. In order to avoid being held accountable and forced to sell mortgage assets by banks. Zheng Hongjie chose the method of tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. He borrowed money from a business friend. Part of the loan was repaid from the bank, and then the rest of the money was put into the factory, hoping to pay off the debt slowly.
But the unfortunate thing happened again.
Within a month, the surge in pork prices drove up the prices of other food products, which directly led to the soaring production costs of canned food, which gave the food processing industry a blow. to pay off this debt. He had taken all the incoming orders almost without refusal. Then rely on the deposit received to barely maintain production and repay the debt.
The orders placed at the price of the previous month are produced according to the cost after the surge this month, and now he has a net loss of one dollar for every can that leaves the factory. However it does not produce. He had to pay the liquidated damages.
If it was before, he could have dealt with this crisis with sufficient funds, but now...
After weighing, he still chose to default. After losing the last banknote, he has lost the chance to make a comeback. The bank will not lend him any more money, and he can no longer pay the wages of the workers. He has to dismiss all the employees.
These five years have been like a dream.
Because of a legitimate Ponzi scheme. He went from the clouds to hell.
"Stock trading is like "Inception," people outside are intimidated, and people inside can't extricate themselves."
Leaving such an evocative sentence, Zheng Hongjie spit out the last cigarette ring, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out.
Knowing today, why was it in the first place? To be honest, Jiang Chen also paid attention to the stock market, but until July, he had no spare money in his pocket. Luckily, he was "out there" from start to finish.
After quietly listening to his words, Jiang Chen secretly sighed.
"Hehe, your experience could almost make a book. Do you have any plans in the future?"
"Let's drive, sell the factory, collect money to repay the debt, and make up the unpaid wages. Although I, Zheng Hongjie, are no longer a big boss, I still have to be a trustworthy person." Laughing at himself, Zheng Hongjie shook his head. said the head.
Integrity is a good shining point, Jiang Chen couldn't help but nodded secretly when he heard this. He doesn't know how to run a company. Instead of hiring an unfamiliar manager in the headhunting market, he might as well hire the expert.
"I was asking about your plans in the future, but I didn't ask about your plans for tomorrow." Jiang Chen smiled and asked softly, looking at the old face that didn't match his age.
Hearing this, Zheng Hongjie was stunned.
"Me? Maybe drive—"
"It's such a waste, I admire talented people very much." Jiang Chen waved his hand, interrupted him, and continued with a smile, "How is it? Are you interested in working in my factory? Xinglong Food Processing Factory You are still called Xinglong, and you are still the factory manager."
After speaking, Jiang Chen stretched out his right hand and looked at him with a smile.
After being stunned, the old face suddenly regained a look. From the initial surprise to the final excitement, Zheng Hongjie stretched out his hand tremblingly and held Jiang Chen's outstretched hand.
He never imagined that the new owner of the factory would get in the way and hire himself the loser. After all, in any case, this factory was yellowed out of his hands.
"The closure of the factory is not because of your operational mistakes. I think the Xinglong Food Processing Factory can only exert its greatest value in your hands. I believe you are not willing to just let go of your hard work over the years. How about you? What do you think?"
"I do!"
The answer without hesitation at all.
Putting down Jiang Chen's hand, Zheng Hongjie bent down and picked up the cigarette butt that he had just crushed on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Chen asked with a smile.
"Hey, the hygiene of a food processing factory can't be sloppy. When I was the director of the factory, it was no exaggeration to say that there was not a single cigarette butt in the whole field!" The gully face was restored to its former glory.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen shrugged, smiled and snuffed out the cigarette butt, then followed him to the trash can and threw the cigarette butt into the bucket.
"Since the company was acquired by me, I will invest 1 million. Then I ask you to resume production within half a month. I just ask you, are you confident?"
"Have!"
Seeing Zheng Hongjie shouting at a high voice, Jiang Chen laughed and then patted him on the shoulder.
"You have momentum! I'm optimistic about you, and go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau with me to complete the formalities."
"Hey, boss, can I invite you to my house for a meal after the formalities? I'm a little tight, and the restaurant can't afford it..." The man in his thirties said with a smirk.
In any case, he wanted to thank the benefactor for a meal. It's a tradition in their hometown, and it's something he's always upheld.
Slightly stunned, Jiang Chen immediately laughed.
"no problem!"
At this time, he suddenly noticed that the back of this downcast man straightened up again.
It's like being reborn. (To be continued. (.))
