Global Monopoly of Technology

"Breaking news, on the US side, Lehman Brothers went bankrupt!"

There is a 40-minute break in the major lounges of Bluestar Technology Headquarters. At this moment, most of the employees in the company have put down their work and communicated with each other about things other than work. No doubt they are discussing this matter. , after all, it's the headlines in the current world.

It seems that as a financial company's bankruptcy, it can't be dismissed from the eight poles of the IT industry, but one by one discussions are flying.

Because of the huge impact of this incident, Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in North America, went bankrupt. This is definitely a horror story.

"The economic catastrophe caused by the subprime mortgage crisis in North America has already begun to spread globally."

"Thousands of companies have gone bankrupt and countless people have had their careers. The current situation reminds me of the Great Depression of the last century. It's terrible..."

"Some agencies predict that the financial crisis is expected to wipe out $5 trillion in pensions, property values, retirement benefit plans, savings and bonds, more than eight million people will lose their jobs, and six million will be homeless. It can be attributed, these figures are only US figures, and the global figures have not been released by institutions, which must be terrifying."

"Greece is going to end!"

At this moment, in the major lounges, a group of employees chatted around and chatted non-stop.

When they heard these numbers, everyone opened their mouths subconsciously, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Immediately afterwards, most people were full of worries. Most of the employees in the company, especially those in technical positions, were IT engineering men who didn't pay attention to finance. But when such a big thing happened, these programmers were very concerned, especially People who know little about finance.

Now that this incident is happening, what they are most worried about is whether their career and income will be greatly reduced.

"Don't panic. Although the financial crisis is very scary, we should not be so sad. We are playing with technology."

"why?"

"It's not easy. Although the company's top leaders have not come out to make a stable speech. But so far, our company has not announced any announcements of increasing income, reducing expenditure, or laying off employees. Instead, we are still conducting external recruitment at this time, and we can't feel the economic crisis at all. Isn't it obvious?"

"But I saw rumors on the Internet that our company may have a capital chain crisis. Some time ago, the company issued 58 billion yuan (8.5 billion US dollars) of corporate bonds... Alas, we are all low-level employees, also No access to high-level commercial secrets. If layoffs do happen, most of us are the ones who will be cleaned up in a limited way... Alas! I don't even want to work anymore!"

"Don't think so much, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster, but as long as you do your job well, and look at the company's continuous expansion of recruitment, even if you lay off employees, you won't be able to lay off you, unless it's your own work. It’s a big problem, if this affects the mentality and then feeds it back to the studio and gets killed, I won’t be able to find a place to cry.”

"It's a lot more reassuring to say that, haha, anyway, my performance has almost been completed, and I shouldn't be killed."

In the current season, Bluestar Technology Group has more than 30,000 employees. Most of the middle and grassroots employees are very worried about whether their careers will be affected by the financial crisis sweeping the world. It looks scary.

However, in general, employees have not experienced much emotional fluctuations yet.

Although the company's top management did not make a statement, the current operation of the company should not be too stable. Although the loss in the second quarter was more than one billion US dollars, what should be done is as usual. It seems that the financial crisis has nothing to do with the company at all. Similar relationship.

After a round of emotional fluctuations, everyone's mentality became more stable. The nonchalant attitude of the company's top management made people feel that they didn't care about the changes in the general environment at all.

Indirect stability of the military.

Not to mention on the Cote d'Azur, as a high-tech industrial company doing consumer electronics, its growth momentum is almost as unaffected as Wah Wei, and it has not felt the impact of the economic crisis at all, because its performance revenue Data is growing in absolute numbers.

Although the growth rate has slowed down, at least not like Bluestar Technology Group, where the revenue for three consecutive quarters did not increase but decrease.

...

Office of the Executive Vice President of Bluestar Technology Group.

This morning, most of the people just went to work in the company, and Zhang Bowen's assistant came to his office to report a news.

"Mr. Zhang, according to yesterday's data report, due to the chain reaction of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the US stock market caused a big shock, the three major stock indexes plunged again, BTC per share has fallen to 68 US dollars, and the total market value has dropped below 100 billion for the first time. dollar mark."

Zhang Bowen subconsciously turned his head and glanced at his assistant, but didn't say anything. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and silently picked up the phone on the desk.

...

Science and Technology Complex Building.

Early in the morning, Luo Sheng was doing morning exercises with An Qingxue, the housekeeping lady who spoke super nicely like a sheep. As for the cost, Luo Sheng's labor awareness is very clear and principled. As long as you work for him and work with him, you will be paid, and the pay is not small.

You work for me, and I pay the commission, which is just right, otherwise, it's a hooligan, and Luo Sheng is not a hooligan.

Speaking of which, since he became the "empty-nest boss", he has not exercised for a long time. This is not good. If he does not exercise, his constitution will decline.

An Qingxue's sheep voice was originally pleasant, but during the morning exercise, it seemed like a buff with a gain effect superimposed on it.

They trust each other, support each other, and work hard together for health.

In fact, men always have a child's heart. A child plays with the toys at home all day long. No matter how good it is, he will get tired. Every time he passes by the toy store, he will not be able to walk.

The principle here is actually the same.

However, this is not a substitute for toys at home, and the same is true.

that is it.

The morning exercise made Luo Sheng sweat a lot, sweating is good, it is very helpful for physical health.

After practice, of course, I have to take a shower. Luo Sheng came to the living room comfortably wearing a bathrobe. On the sofa here, An Qingxue lay limply on the sofa and didn't want to move at all. She saw Luo Sheng throwing When looking at him, he couldn't help but shyly turned his head away and didn't dare to look directly at him.

"Qingxue, I'm very satisfied with your sparring partner. I'll take a new job in the future." Luo Sheng said with a smile, this is a very important business, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution.

"I don't want~~" An Qingxue replied with a sheepish voice.

"Okay, isn't it? Then wait!" Luo Sheng smiled leisurely, snapped his fingers comfortably and returned to the bedroom.

In his safe in a corner, he placed a large stack of physical gold, as well as several large stacks of cash notes, in RMB, EUR, USD, GBP and other currencies.

Luo Sheng basically doesn't touch money much, but he must have a little cash in reserve at home, which he can use occasionally, so it's not wrong to put some cash, and there's not much in this safe, just a few million.

After opening the safe, Luo Sheng stretched out his hand towards the area where the RMB was stacked, grabbed a stack and walked towards the large living room.

An Qingxue watched Luo Sheng leave the living room curiously before, but it didn't take long before she saw the young and rich owner of the richest man return to the living room with a smiling face. When she saw what Luo Sheng was holding, An Qingxue saw His eyes couldn't help but glow with brilliance.

Luo Sheng said lightly, "Do you want it?"

An Qingxue blinked her pretty eyes.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Luo Sheng immediately said, "Don't you? Forget it, I can put it back."

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the bedroom.

An Qingxue was in a hurry, and a sheepish sound suddenly entered Luo Sheng's ears: "Hey, don't, I want it, I want it, if someone wants it, give it to me!"

Luo Sheng turned around again and walked straight, then An Qingxue sat down beside her, put the Yida soft sister coin in her hand, and held the chin of the sister paper with the other hand, looking at her delicate and charming face. Face, smiled: "So, this is an extra bonus to reward you, and there will be more in the future, depending on your performance..."

An Qingxue looked at the stack of extra bonuses in her hand, at least tens of thousands, and the happiness on her face was undisguised.

It's good for Luo Sheng to see that she can be so happy. The labor dispute is definitely gone.

"Mr. Luo, Qingxue must perform well and work hard to satisfy you, and if you need a fitness training partner, Qingxue is always on call?~"

Luo Sheng looked at An Qingxue who was smiling coquettishly, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's good. Being happy is the most helpful factor for your health. You should pay more attention than exercising, just be happy."

It is very good, there are no labor disputes, settlement is settled now, and there are no other disputes after the settlement of labor services.

Luo Sheng suddenly felt that Irene and Qin Weimu didn't live in this complex with him. Looking back now, this was not necessarily a bad thing, but a good thing.

If they don't come to live, they can find them by themselves. Of course men have to take the initiative.

Can a living person be suffocated to death by urine?

At this moment, Luo Sheng's cell phone ringing on the table in the living room rang, and he moved his hand away from An Qingxue's chin, and said with a smile, "Go get your cell phone."

"OK."

But for a moment, Luo Sheng took the phone and glanced at the caller ID, it was Zhang Bowen calling.

Immediately got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on the side of the living room to answer the phone, while An Qingxue sat back on the sofa, put the bonus in her bag, rested for a while and then started cleaning the room, starting a brand new day. Housekeeping work.

She never thought that she could be attracted by a super rich like Luo Sheng, because she never believed in fairy tales like Cinderella, but now she's pretty good, working for him, working here for a few years, basically can make money Earn enough.

A part-time fitness training sparring will earn tens of thousands of bonuses. An Qingxue knows that in Luo Sheng's eyes it's no different from a few dollars, but in her eyes it's a few months' salary.

"How much has it fallen?" On the other side, Luo Sheng was talking to Zhang Bowen.

"$68." On the other end of the phone, Zhang Bo replied succinctly.

"OK, don't wait, let's do it." Luo Sheng responded decisively, but also neatly, at $68 per share, and now the market value of BTC shares in after-hours trading yesterday was $98.6 billion.

You can make a move, but don't be too greedy.

Luo Sheng and Lao Zhang casually exchanged a few words before ending the phone call, throwing the phone aside and changing into their outdoor clothes.

Today is Wednesday, a lot of work is still waiting for him to deal with. There is also a technical meeting in the Azur company for him to chair, and then he will go to the Azur laboratory and Lens Semiconductor. At night, he has to optimize Xiaona, which is very tight. .

As Lao Zhang received Luo Sheng's official decision, Bluestar Technology's one-year bargain-hunting repurchase plan was officially launched.
