"It's up! The company's stock has gone up again!" My colleague Xiao Tao couldn't contain his excitement and shouted excitedly.
As soon as she said this, she realized something and quickly covered her mouth while looking around.
After glancing around the office, she felt a little relieved - fortunately her boss was not there.
28-year-old Jin Yao said nonchalantly, "We are a technology company with unlimited potential in the future. Of course, our stock price will continue to rise."
As she spoke, she glanced to the side and sighed with regret, "Sister Yang, you sold the company's stock when it rose to 80 yuan. What a pity."
The current stock price is 99 yuan, and it may break through the 100 yuan mark at any time.
The 38-year-old working woman, known as Sister Yang, smiled gently upon hearing this. "After the company's stock went public, the price has skyrocketed. It's really scary to see."
"Sometimes I fall asleep at night and wake up from nightmares in the middle of the night."
"I thought about it again and again. Anyway, we bought the stock at 4 yuan as an employee price and sold it at 80 yuan, which is 20 times the original price. We have already made a lot of money. It is better to sell the stock, work hard, and sleep well at night."
At this point, her smile widened. "Didn't I invest 200,000 yuan when the employees bought shares? Now I've sold the shares and received 4 million yuan directly."
"I will use 2.7 million to pay off my mortgage in advance, and then buy another house with full payment to leave to my son. I will use 1 million to buy government bonds and save it for my retirement. As for the remaining 300,000, I will use 100,000 as a travel fund and 200,000 for insurance for my family."
"This way, the whole family can relax."
"Sister Yang really knows how to live!" Xiao Tao admires her.
Sister Yang said, "When people reach middle age, they don't seek wealth, they just want stability."
Jin Yao didn't show it on her face, but she actually disapproved in her heart.
In her opinion, the company has great development potential and will only get better and better in the future. It is not impossible for it to become the first in the industry in the future.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the company went public, Sister Yang couldn't wait to sell her shares.
This is the fate of being born poor, destined to never get rich!
Jin Yao secretly shook her head, thinking that Sister Yang was so timid that she was really wasting the opportunity given by God.
While he was thinking, a female voice suddenly sounded, "Hurry up and sell the company's stocks, otherwise you will go bankrupt sooner or later."
who? !
Jin Yao was startled.
Following the direction of the voice, I saw a man in a suit sitting on the workbench with a serious expression. "My name is Yun Luo, and I came here specially to help the host..."
Before Yun Luo could finish her words, she saw the host suddenly pull out a folder and hit her with it like swatting a fly.
Yun Luo, "..."
The fatal blow missed.
The folder fell on the table with a loud noise, and Xiao Tao and Sister Yang looked over in surprise.
Jin Yao said calmly, "I just saw a small insect and killed it."
Xiao Tao applauded, "Sister Jin is awesome!"
"Keep the noise down." Sister Yang advised, "You scared me to death."
"Got it." Jin Yao responded casually, but her eyes were fixed on Yun Luo - what on earth was this thing?
"Say it again." Yun Luo had no expression on his face, "I suggest that the host sell the company's stocks, otherwise..."
"I don't".
Jin Yao had an indifferent expression on her face and answered with her mouth.
Yun Luo: ...It’s up to you.
The next second, the man in the suit disappeared.
Jin Yao sat back in her original position, thinking to herself, I'll go to the temple tomorrow to ask for a talisman, and see how rampant you can be!
**
Three months passed in a flash.
The strange man in the suit never appeared again, and Jin Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
As for selling the company's stock...
Jin Yao glanced at the screen. The page showed that the stock price was currently 170 and was still rising.
Jin Yao thought to herself that she was about to become a multi-millionaire, and she would be crazy to sell her stocks!
"Sister Yang..." Xiao Tao hesitated to speak.
She could have made a lot of money by just holding the company's stock and doing nothing, but Sister Yang sold it without saying a word.
It was a pie in the sky, making these employees rich. But even so, some people failed to seize the opportunity.
"I'm not used to putting all my eggs in one basket," Yang said. "Even if there is an opportunity, I plan to buy funds instead of stocks."
I was willing to invest in the company's shares before because it was a rare opportunity.
Once a company goes public, the original shares will become extremely valuable, and it is common for the price to increase more than tenfold.
As it turned out, she made the right bet.
"Ah?" Xiao Tao was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know whether the other party was sincere or just making excuses for his behavior.
Sister Yang patiently explained, "A fund usually holds 50 or 100 stocks, which is equivalent to a portfolio."
"Even if one of the stocks has problems, it will not have much impact on the entire portfolio because of its small proportion."
"Individual stocks have the risk of fraud and performance explosion. In comparison, a stock portfolio is much safer."
"Is that so?" Xiao Tao said hesitantly.
Although she didn't understand it, it seemed very powerful and reasonable.
"Didn't I say that? I'm used to playing it safe." Sister Yang smiled. "Different people make different choices when faced with the same thing. My investment behavior is completely consistent with my risk tolerance."
Xiao Tao was a little embarrassed: What should I do if I don’t understand it anymore?
I know every word when I separate them, but I don't understand what they mean when I put them together...
On the side, Jin Yao lowered his eyes and sneered.
If you hold the stocks and don't move, you can earn an extra 4.5 million. But someone is so stubborn that he sells them at 80% and even talks nonsense.
Is it so difficult to admit that you made a wrong decision and missed the opportunity to make a fortune?
It's ridiculous to not admit your mistakes but to find reasons to prove the correctness of your behavior.
The man in a suit suddenly appeared and said faintly, "Don't laugh, I am the one who understands."
"If you use all your savings to buy company stocks, once the company runs into problems, not only will you lose your job, but your savings will also be wasted."
"Diversify your investments, buy houses, buy government bonds, buy insurance. Even if something happens in the future, the host only needs to change jobs."
Bah! Your company is bankrupt and your employees are unemployed!
Jin Yao took off the amulet hanging around her neck without saying a word and slapped it towards Yun Luo.
She moved swiftly, as fast as lightning.
Unfortunately, before he could touch her, the man in the suit disappeared first, "Remember, this is your last chance."
Jin Yao frowned, thinking that she hoped this was the last time the man in the suit would appear. He was haunting her like a ghost, which made her extremely annoyed.
**
Two days later, there was big news in the stock market.
XX accounting firm is under investigation! The regulatory authorities suspect that it has committed financial fraud and helped some companies go public illegally.
Jin Yao saw it and was surprised, "Can this be faked?"
After reading carefully, I realized that there are strict requirements for a company to go public.
For example, to apply for a listed company, the company must have been in operation for more than three years. During these three years, there must be no changes in directors or senior management. And the company's operations must be legal and in compliance with national laws.
For example, there is no false contribution to the registered capital of listed companies, and there is no phenomenon of capital withdrawal.
For example, the financial status of a listed company is that its net profit in the last three fiscal years is more than 30 million.
For example, the cumulative cash flow generated by operating activities in the most recent three fiscal years is at least 50 million, or the operating income in the most recent three fiscal years is more than 300 million.
…
The article contains a lot of details.
Jin Yao took a quick look and lost interest in reading any further. She clicked the upper right corner and closed the page, not taking it seriously at all.
Unexpectedly, a week later, it was revealed online that six companies, including XX Technology, all relied on financial fraud to go public and their own qualifications did not meet the standards.
When the news came out, Jin Yao was shocked.
She never thought that the big news that was making a big splash on the Internet would be related to her company.
Financial fraud? How could it be?
There must be a mistake.
Jin Yao believes that the company's operations are normal and its future development prospects are good, so there is no need to commit fraud.
However, stockholders did not care about that. When they heard that the company had committed financial fraud, they sold their shares frantically and could not wait to escape.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the stock price went from rising 3% to falling 10%, and finally hundreds of thousands of sell orders blocked the price limit.
"It's obviously fake news, but so many people believe it." Jin Yao couldn't help but sigh.
She was about to reach her goal of 10 million, but suddenly this incident popped up and she didn't know how long it would take to calm down.
"I don't think it's real either." Xiao Tao agreed, "The company pays salaries on time every month and its operations are obviously normal. There's no need to cook the books."
Sister Yang said, "Don't jump to conclusions. Let's see what happens first."
Jin Yao was not happy. "Do you think the company would do such a thing?"
Sister Yang: "If there is evidence, I will believe it. If there is no evidence, I will not believe it. I will not easily take sides before the truth comes out."
After a slight pause, she glanced at Xiao Tao, then looked at Jin Yao, and reminded him implicitly, "I know you all hold shares in the company and don't want the scandal to come true, but subjective consciousness cannot change objective facts. If there is anything, you must take decisive action."
If a company goes public through fraudulent means, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
Will I be fined if I violate the law or regulations?
If it is illegally listed, should it be delisted?
The most important thing is, after the incident becomes a big deal, how much will the company’s stock be worth?
Sister Yang felt worried about them.
After much thought, the only thing we can do now is to remain vigilant and keep an eye on the news.
If the situation takes a turn for the worse, you should immediately cut off your position and survive. In this way, the capital shrinkage may not be too serious.
Sister Yang had good intentions, but Jin Yao didn't appreciate it at all. She had a clear position and a firm attitude, "I believe in the company and intend to stand on the same side with the company and fight to the end!"
Xiao Tao hesitated for a moment before saying, "Outsiders don't trust the company because they don't understand it. The shortest time we've worked in the company is three years. There's no reason to suspect it's cheating."
Seeing that the two men refused to listen, Sister Yang sighed and stopped trying to persuade them.
**
The next day.
As soon as the exchange opened in the morning, xx Technology’s stock was pushed to the lower limit by hundreds of thousands of sell orders.
Countless investors wanted to transfer their stocks, but no one took over and the trading volume was pitifully small.
Because the incident happened suddenly, the company's stock was suspended from trading.
Then an announcement was issued: "The stock price fluctuated abnormally, and trading was temporarily suspended. Trading will be resumed after the regulatory authorities have conducted a thorough investigation."
After a while, everything will be fine once the rumors are cleared up, Jin Yao thought.
Yun Luo: Oh, now that you’ve met me, you still hope it’s just a rumor?
However, the host refused to communicate with her, so there was no need for her to make herself unhappy by trying to get closer to him.
Yun Luo remained silent and pretended that he didn't exist.
The days passed one by one.
Jin Yao did not wait for the clarification announcement, but instead received explosive news. "After investigation, six companies, including xx Technology, did violate regulations. They colluded with accounting firms to falsify financial information in order to pass the audit and illegally go public. The exchange will severely punish such illegal behavior."
