Knight of the Blue Lagoon (The Past of Tao v)

30. Zhou

Meichen of Daozhi came to Daozhi's residence, stood at the door, hesitated for a while, then adjusted her makeup, and was about to ring the doorbell, when the door next to her suddenly opened, and a young woman asked:"Are you looking for Daozhi?" ?"

"Yes"

"If her girlfriend is not here, who are you?"The young woman sees that Zhou Meichen is very elegant.

"I am a police officer in charge of law and order"

"What happened to him?"The young woman became nervous.

"No, no, he is my friend, just here to visit."Zhou Meichen thought she was some relative of Dao Zhi.

The young woman asked again:"It's so late, do you plan to spend the night here?"

Hearing this, Zhou Meichen was a little confused. She glanced at Daozhi's door awkwardly. There were only two of them on this side of the floor. She was thinking about how to answer when Daozhi's door opened.

"Too lazy to do these things to you."The young woman rolled her eyes at Daozhi and closed the door.

Seeing Zhou Meichen at the door, Daozhi was not surprised. When she walked in, there was no light on. Zhou Meichen saw the crystal clear wine glass on the table at a glance. Taking a sip,

Zhou Meichen looked at Daozhi's living room. It was empty and large, without a TV or any decoration. The decoration was very simple. The white walls and black dining table formed a strong color contrast. The large bay window connected the room with the sunset. He should often drink alone at dusk, looking very lonely. For some people, this may be the most comfortable way of life. They enjoy solitude.

A glass of wine at dusk, drinking alone without any close friends, raising a glass to the sunset, and the shadows become Three people.

Dao Zhi brought another cup, turned on the light, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zhou Meichen's hand.

They sat face to face. Under the light, the contours of their faces were obvious. She didn't know why she picked up the glass of wine just now. Drinking, it just felt like the cup she had at home. Zhou Meichen looked at Daozhi carefully. She suddenly felt that Daozhi seemed to be thinking about herself just now. Daozhi was wondering if there really is such a thing as Nian Min in this world. If you think about something, it will really appear.

After a while, Zhou Meichen said:"I didn't expect that the meal that day would turn out like this. Daozhi smiled, knowing that this was not why she came, and then Zhou Meichen said:

"As you said, what should be the plan?"

"Got their financial statements?"

"They really don't want others to see it, but I still got some, which is considered public information."After that, Zhou Meichen took out the report.

Dao Zhi looked at the report carefully, and as expected:"The profit is meager, and the proportion of technology research and development is less than 2%. I enjoy the city's R&D funds, and the debt ratio is about 50%, not counting. too high. Daozhi looked through each page carefully, and then said:"Intangible assets account for a large part of the total assets. If intangible assets are excluded, tangible assets are barely higher than liabilities, which makes sense.""

"What makes sense?"

"Zhang Guo has been active in the media recently, talking about environmental protection and hosting live broadcasts, all for the purpose of increasing brand value."

"Why not?"

"When the brand value is high, the proportion of intangible assets will be large, so the debt ratio will be low. This will probably lead to listing."Daozhi

"Her company has been in business for more than 20 years, and it is no longer in its heyday. Why is it only going public now?"

"The heyday is the most profitable time. Of course, if you can make money, you hope to put it in your own pocket. Now you are making less money, and the prospects are not optimistic. Zhang Guo, who has been in this industry for so many years, naturally knows better than anyone else that she had the advantage back then. Technology, funding, and policies are good, so they can occupy the market first. Now technology is not a problem, and funds are abundant. However, policies have changed, the industry has matured, and its potential is limited, so its advantages are no longer outstanding. In the past, Zhang Guo's company rarely borrowed debt. In recent years, she borrowed a lot of debt. Once it went public, the debt was turned into equity, and the risk was transferred. She would make a little manipulation to raise the stock price, then sell it, and she could leave with a large sum. field"

"If the stock price is high, others will not lose money either"

"The problem lies here. Her operation as an operator is temporary. In addition, the current brand value is too closely tied to her personally and is already artificially high. After she announces her departure, the brand value will definitely decline, and the stock price will return sooner or later. She is really worth it. In short, either her original creditors will suffer, or the shareholders will suffer."Daozhi

"What if she didn’t leave, wouldn’t the brand value decline?"

"She is an industrialist. She does not immerse herself in technology research and development, but she is still jumping up and down on the Internet even at her age. Why is this? Does she really like to show her face on the Internet? I don’t think so. It is very possible to play with capital. Moreover, she was getting older, and she could no longer bear to continue working on her body. Among her several children, although her eldest son was the vice president and was nominally in charge of the factory's operations, she had always had a tight grip on the financial power. Of course she had no problem with her eldest son's level. She knew that she could not support her business at all. Her other children were in other industries and were not interested at all in this factory that was no longer very profitable. Therefore, it is highly likely that she will finally cash out and leave. She has a background in finance and knows how to play. The business is her own, of course she works hard, but it will be different after it is listed, so she can let go and play."Daozhi

"They are trying to cut leeks. No wonder the Internet trend has changed."

"It’s time to cut leeks again. The first time was to take away the money and leave the pollution. This time, the money is taken away and the debt is left."Daozhi

"She is so evil"

"Many companies are like this. They work hard at first to build a reputation, and then exit after going public to cash out. Bicycles in recent years are a typical example. Later, Kuaishou tried to do the same thing but failed."Daozhi

"These people are going too far. Don’t they want to engage in technology to improve services?"Zhou Meichen said angrily.

"Yes, not many. Most entrepreneurs just want to make more money."Dao Zhi.

Zhou Meichen understood:"Lan Uniform is doing such a big thing, it seems that he wants to expose these things."

"Maybe, hopefully people will notice."Daozhi

"With the current trend of public opinion, is it useful?"
