Back To 1995 - Chapter 1043
America has a mature system. Whether it is a person or a company, after bankruptcy, it will be eaten up and wiped out. After the bones and dregs are cleaned, the matter will be considered closed.
On the TV media, there are often news about the bankruptcy of a certain Hollywood star or NBA star, but the media rarely reports on what happened to this person after bankruptcy.
Generally, after bankruptcy, his villas, mansions, collections, and even the insurance he purchased will be confiscated by the federal bankruptcy court, and then enter the auction process. Logically speaking, the auction must be public, but, ordinary people will never hear it Rumors of this.
On the contrary, some “well-informed” people were able to receive the auction invitation, and then due to various reasons, the price of the villa plummeted, and finally it was auctioned at a fraction of the market price. Cars and collectibles were auctioned in this way In the hands of some people, as for the bankrupt, after selling these properties, he still has not repaid the huge debts. In the end, he basically lived on the street and set up a tent on the side of the road. It is impossible for him to find Work, can’t buy insurance, and become one of the “forgotten people” in America!
After the bankruptcy of a giant company, it is basically the same routine, except that there is more room for maneuvering. The general public will only hear about which giant company has fallen again, and the news after that will never be heard again.
In fact, many companies that declare bankruptcy can still survive for countless years, earning more than dozens of times that of ordinary companies, but when the outside world calms down, it will be slowly taken away by other companies at a negligible price , WorldCom is like this, An Ran can’t escape this kind of treatment.
With so many eyes on Enron’s legacy, there are countless people who want to get a piece of the pie. If they want to eat for nothing, it’s either impossible, or the risk is too great. If they fall into the trap of others, they may be overturned one day. out.
Moreover, this kind of thing on the auction table itself cannot be too expensive. You only need to use one-tenth, or even a few tenths of the original price, to get it. It is completely auctioned in accordance with federal laws. , There is no future trouble, it is too worthless to plant a big thunder for that little beauty!
Hearing Song Yang’s words, Chuck Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief. He had seen too many ugly guys.
He is obviously worth a lot, he can spend millions for a sports car, and he can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in a nightclub for a group of dancers, but even for a petty profit of tens of thousands of dollars, he can argue They didn’t stop for a long time, and even used all kinds of means to force the poor to go bankrupt. It seemed that only in this way could they show their power. Old accounts are settled from these small things…
Working with Song Yang, there is no such trouble as making Chuck Rhodes scratch his head. Now he understands why so many big figures are willing to cooperate with Song Yang. Song Yang has a sense of proportion and will not let Chuck Rhodes It is no wonder that Rhodes can get enough returns by doing those things that are too risky to start with. Over the years, so many big figures like the party and even the donkey party have begun to switch their families one after another, and they have begun to follow Song Yang. Upstarts start to cooperate!
In the manor, Zhou Bailin and Cai Mingshi, who was beside him, were walking around the San Jose manor. Cai Mingshi was the person who was in charge of meeting Zhou Bailin when Zhou Bailin first came to America and acted as a tour guide. After that, the two also kept in touch frequently, and their relationship was very good.
Zhou Bailin looked at Cai Mingshi, who was dressed in a formal suit and became much calmer. The two entered the private collection in the manor. Zhou Bailin looked at Cai Mingshi, “So, you joined America Telecom?!”
Having stayed in America for a few years, Zhou Bailin is no stranger to American Telecom. He knows that American Telecom is now strong in the telecommunications industry, and its valuation has been blown to more than 100 billion US dollars!
Entering the collection hall, although it has not been filled yet, the various collections in the collection hall, including the “two-wheeled chariot” bronze, still dazzle the two of them. Most of the things inside are Take it back from the auction house, any one is worth a lot!
Looking at the “Lucien portrait study” protected by multiple security facilities, Cai Mingshi was speechless for a while. The bronze chariot was reported by the media and was acquired by Song Yang. Unexpectedly, this painting with a transaction price of 140 million US dollars, It was also in Song Yang’s private collection. Cai Mingshi didn’t know how many good things were kept in this manor.
Looking back, Cai Mingshi knew that it would be nice to see these things. Like Bill Gates’ manor, if he wanted to visit it once, he would have to pay tens of thousands of dollars in tickets to get in…
Come to the bar room in the manor, there is no bartender, but there are a wide variety of drinks in the wine cabinet, almost as long as you can think of, you can find it here.
“Thank you more, if it weren’t for Bai Lin, I wouldn’t have joined America Telecom so smoothly!”
After sitting down, Cai Mingshi poured Zhou Bailin a glass of wine with ice cubes, raised his glass to Zhou Bailin and said that acting as a tour guide for Zhou’s family that time was probably just an ordinary experience for Zhou Bailin.
But for Cai Mingshi, he met the big benefactor of American Telecom, and also made Iger and other big shots of American Telecom have a little impression of him. These seem inconspicuous, but for Cai Mingshi It was enough to allow him to climb from a newcomer to department head in just one or two years.
In the meantime, there is also the reason for the rapid development of American Telecom, which has a great demand for talents, and many newcomers have been promoted, but whoever is promoted is not promoted. It is hard to say that Cai Mingshi can stand out among the contemporaries. He doesn’t believe it himself!
Today Cai Mingshi was called here by Song Yang. Cai Mingshi didn’t know why, but he had some guesses in his heart, but he didn’t dare to say it.
Shaking his head, Zhou Bailin smiled and said to Cai Mingshi, “I don’t have that much ability, all of this depends on you, you are Cornell University…”
Speaking of this, Zhou Bailin himself is a little bit speechless. In China, especially at this point in time, Cai Mingshi is definitely a talent who is competing for teaching in various universities, and he is also a talent who can directly serve as a senior manager of some companies, but as a genius all over the world In America, there is no shortage of talents, and there are a lot of graduates from prestigious schools. At Cai Mingshi’s age, there are not many who can climb to the position of director of a giant company.
“Bai Lin, maybe after you graduate from MIT, you can stay here in America…”
Cai Mingshi took a sip of his drink, and said to Zhou Bailin, he knew that Zhou Bailin wanted to return to China after graduation, and he would definitely make a name for himself in China, after all, with the support of Asia Trust Fund and Song Yang, As long as Zhou Bailin’s ability is not too weak, he will definitely be able to create something.
But staying in America, with Song Yang’s influence in the Internet and technology industry, no matter which line Zhou Bailin enters, he can basically get twice the result with half the effort. It is at your fingertips, if Cai Mingshi also has a cheap cousin like Song Yang, then he must hold his thigh tightly and not let go.
Zhou Bailin has matured a lot in the past few years. He is not as young as before. What he has seen and heard in America in the past few years has had a great impact on him.
After thinking for a while, although he was still a little moved, Zhou Bailin knew that as long as he spoke, whether it was because of his mother Song Huiqiong, or because of the blood relationship involved, Song Yang would definitely help him, but in the end Zhou Bailin still shook his head. Shake your head.
“After graduating from MIT, I will return to Yangcheng!”
Hearing Zhou Bailin’s words, Cai Mingshi stopped talking, no matter how Zhou Bailin chooses, the starting point of his life will be much stronger than his all-year-round.
There was a sound of footsteps, and when he saw Song Yang entering the bar, Cai Mingshi’s expression was serious, and he got up quickly.
Song Yang waved his hand, let the two sit down, and poured a glass of wine, “How is Bai Lin at MIT?”
“I’m fine, both the hospital and the school board are taking good care of me, but there are too many geniuses there!”
Zhou Bailin smiled wryly and said that he was considered a genius when he was in China, but when he arrived in Massachusetts, he found that the word genius was really bad. As for the movies and TV dramas, he had never seen the drunk and corrupt life at the University of America. Only see one volume than one volume.
Song Yang nodded, MIT board of directors, can you not take care of Zhou Bailin? Since sending Zhou Bailin in, the Bruno family has donated a lot of dollars every year.
