Chapter 389 Painful Lessons and the Three Women in Life
At that time, Li Xiaofan applied for an offer for the undergraduate EE electronic engineering major at the well-known University of Nottingham in the UK.
The University of Nottingham is a top research university in the UK and one of the top 100 universities in the world. Its electronic and electrical engineering major ranks first in the UK. Later, under the help of Professor Yang Fujia, a fellow Mingzhou native, former president of Fudan University and honorary president of the University of Nottingham in the UK, the first Sino-foreign cooperative Mingzhou University of Nottingham in mainland China was established in Mingzhou.
Li Xiaofan had previously prepared sufficient tuition fees for studying at the University of Nottingham. This fee of more than 200,000 yuan was enough to cover all his living and study expenses in the UK in the past few years.
However, just before he received the offer from the University of Nottingham and was about to apply for a visa to the UK, an accident happened.
A scholar from the Central University of Finance and Economics Research Institute named Liu Shuwei published an article in October 2001 entitled "Loans to Lantian Shares Should Be Stopped Immediately". After a detailed analysis of the asset structure, cash flow and debt repayment capacity of the A-share listed company 600709 Lantian Co., Ltd., the article concluded that Lantian's performance was false, and the performance myth was entirely dependent on bank loans. Lantian was unable to repay the 2 billion loan...
The previous Lantian Co., Ltd. was an old blue chip stock, known as the "No. 1 Chinese Agricultural Stock". In the five years since its listing, its annual performance has been above 0.60 yuan per share, and the highest was 1.15 yuan. Even after the severe flood in 1998, its earnings per share reached 0.81 yuan.
The beautiful financial report has caused the share price of Lantian Co., Ltd. to soar since its listing, from 2.1 yuan at the beginning of its listing in 1996 to a peak of 22 yuan in 1999, an increase of more than 10 times.
This 600709 Lantian Co., Ltd. was Li Xiaofan's heavy holding at the time. The most terrible thing is that in order to have more money on hand after studying in the UK, the greedy Li Xiaofan also raised funds off-market and added leverage.
After Liu Shuwei uncovered the fraud of Lantian shares, the share price of Lantian shares plummeted. In October 2001, the share price hit three consecutive limit downs, falling rapidly from 11 yuan to 8 yuan.
In January of the following year, 2002, the chairman of Lantian shares and 10 other senior executives were detained for suspected false financial information, and the share price of Lantian shares hit four limit downs again, falling from 6.5 yuan to 4.3 yuan.
In the meantime, the Lantian shares held by Li Xiaofan touched the liquidation line and were forcibly liquidated. The 200,000 yuan invested before was instantly wiped out!
The tuition and living expenses prepared for studying in the UK were all gone.
This unexpected blow made Li Xiaofan unable to recover, and he had to temporarily give up his dream of studying abroad with an empty pocket...
This was a painful lesson from his previous life.
How many people have been harmed by this stock with fake performance!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaofan couldn't help but grit his teeth, and a ball of anger burst out of his eyes.
"Xiaofan, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?" Yang Feiyan looked at Li Xiaofan in a trance and asked curiously.
Li Xiaofan came back to his senses and smiled: "Haha, I remembered some past events..."
At this time, they had walked to the gate of Changle New Village where Yang Feiyan and other girls rented together.
Li Xiaofan said goodbye to her: "Feiyan, go to bed early. I will go back to Singapore tomorrow afternoon. You and a few new colleagues should prepare for the training at the Singapore headquarters next month. Good night!"
Yang Feiyan reluctantly said: "Thank you, Xiaofan, I wish you a good dream and a safe journey!"
At this time, Yang Feiyan actually wanted to stay with Li Xiaofan for a while longer.
From Fenyang Road to Changle New Village, the distance is more than 1,000 meters, and the two of them walked for a quarter of an hour.
Yang Feiyan sighed in her heart, how could this road be finished so quickly...
As a person who has been through it, Li Xiaofan can feel the special feeling that Yang Feiyan has for him at the moment.
On the way back to the old house where he lived, Li Xiaofan couldn't help but think of a passage on the Internet in his previous life.
For a successful boy, there should be three women in his life:
One is the white lotus. That is the boy's first love, she is pure and beautiful like a dream. You can only watch her from a distance and not play with her. For many men, she is an unreachable white lotus that sways again and again in the dreams of youth...
Another is the red rose. That is the boy's passionate love, fiery and passionate, shocking like lightning. Not only can you hug her tightly, but you can also kiss her as much as you want. After being washed by the red rose, the boy becomes a man. For mature men, the red rose is a wine that they can't put down...
Another is the carnation. That is the boy's wife, warm and elegant, tender and affectionate. She is the boy's motivation to struggle, the boy's spiritual support, the harbor of return, and the boy's second mother. Boys are children by nature, and carnations will indulge his naughtiness with a smile and wait patiently for him to come home when he is tired of playing...
So, are the three girls Yang Feiyan, Tang Xinyi and Guo Hanyue who appear in his life at the moment the three beautiful flowers above...
After saying goodbye to Yang Feiyan, Li Xiaofan returned to the old house on Wukang Road and checked the information about Lantian shares on the Internet.
It was found that Shenyang Lantian Co., Ltd. had just issued a listing announcement and planned to be listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange on June 18 next month, and it will soon become the first company recommended for listing by the Ministry of Agriculture.
Thinking that this evil person is about to be listed and traded, Li Xiaofan was furious!
But now it seems that he can't do anything about it. The problem of its public fraud was not discovered and exposed by Liu Shuwei from the Central University of Finance and Economics Research Institute from its public information until three years later.
Is there anything he can do in the meantime?
He should think about it carefully and wait for the right time to visit Liu Shuwei from the Central University of Finance and Economics, who was later named the first "Top Ten People of the Year Who Moved China" by CCTV...
...
The next morning, Li Xiaofan accompanied Xu Jige of Malaysia's Hong Leong Group, Chen Fengkun of Singapore's International Yuanli Group and a group of Singaporean bosses to play a round of golf at the Shanghai International Golf Country Club located in Dianshan Lake.
After playing golf, seeing that there was still some time, Li Xiaofan and others, accompanied by the enthusiastic Chen Fengkun, went to inspect the Sun Island that their Singapore Yuanli Group was developing and constructing.
This year, Chen Fengkun, as the general manager of Shanghai Sun Island International Club, also won the Shanghai Magnolia Award. This award is specially given by the Shanghai Municipal Government to encourage and commend foreigners who have made outstanding contributions to Shanghai's economic construction, social development and foreign exchanges.
Chen Fengkun graduated from the Department of Animal Husbandry of National Taiwan University in 1979 and is an expert in agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry. Since the agricultural and tourism industries require large investments and have long payback periods, he is very interested in the venture capital fund initiated by Li Xiaofan and wants to learn more about it.
Chen Fengkun introduced that the Chen family business, which started with pig farming, is currently transforming and developing into a diversified multinational company with supermarkets, orchid planting, real estate and tourism and holiday industries.
Li Xiaofan listened and found that the most interesting thing was that more than 20 families of the Chen family lived under one roof with four generations. Their living expenses were paid by the family business, and they had all the public learning and entertainment facilities. They divided the work between housework and business and received a symbolic salary.
The life and work mode of the people of Chenjiazhuang working together in unity is a bit like the feeling of a family commune production team...
After inspecting Sun Island, Li Xiaofan dragged his suitcase to Hongqiao International Airport in the afternoon, ready to take a Singapore Airlines flight back to Singapore.
While queuing in the terminal hall, suddenly, someone behind him gently patted his shoulder:
"Hi, Xiao Li, what a coincidence!"
