Yi Xiaohai has very few companies to worry about, so he spends more time on banking and communications.
It¡¯s easy to build a bank, but it¡¯s not so easy to do business.
At present, the bank¡¯s customers are all members of the Sihai Liuhe Chamber of Commerce, and there are very few other companies or individuals.
The bank also carried out publicity, but the effect was not good.
Every customer who sees the advertisement comes and learns that Hantang Bank is a private bank and leaves immediately.
Because they have only one principle for judging the credibility of banks: private banks are not trustworthy.
They would rather trust those credit unions that are weak and often go bankrupt and run away with money, than companies with strong financial resources like Han and Tang.
Faced with this situation, Yi Xiaohai had no choice but to accept the situation as it came.
Fortunately, the current main market in the Han and Tang Dynasties was enterprises, and it was acceptable for personal business not to make progress.
We can only take things slowly in the bank, but things in the laboratory went quite smoothly.
Yi Xiaohai contacted Stephen, who told him: The situation at Lucent is very bad.
In the early days of the sharp decline in technology stocks, Lucent¡¯s stock price fell very little because of its good performance reports. It was considered a relatively strong presence among technology stocks.
It¡¯s a pity that such strength is just a mirage created by Lucent. .
In the early days of Lucent¡¯s establishment, capital did not consider the company¡¯s long-term development at all. Through short-term operations, Lucent¡¯s performance increased significantly.
After the listing, Lucent's market value skyrocketed, reaching hundreds of billions at one time.
Behind the sharp rise in stock prices, there is indeed a game of capital.
Because the growth brought about by selling equipment is one-time, in order to ensure that sales do not decline, Lucent lends money to other companies to buy its own equipment and maintain the glossy report.
Investors see the steady rise in Lucent's performance, and they all believe in Lucent's prospects.
If the Internet bubble hadn¡¯t burst, Lucent would eventually be able to get the money it lent out, and everyone would be happy.
¡° Just lending money to customers to buy your own products is walking a tightrope in itself.
The Internet bubble burst and the wire broke.
Those companies that borrowed money to buy Lucent equipment went bankrupt one after another. Lucent lost its money and equipment. It suffered serious losses and was instantly transferred into the abyss.
The early strength was due to Lucent¡¯s strong support, giving those capitals time to withdraw.
It¡¯s just that sensitive investors quickly discovered that major shareholders were cashing out. Following the sell-off, Lucent shares continued to fall, with the total decline reaching 95%.
Lang Lang can only live by selling off assets, and the company is discussing disbanding Bell Labs.
Before the Internet burst, Morgan Stanley listened to Yi Xiaohai's opinions and reduced its holdings of Lucent shares at a high level. While making a lot of money, it also held the majority of the shares.
Yi Xiaohai sells at high levels and accumulates at low levels. Currently, he also owns a lot of Lucent shares.
By joining forces, the two parties have every chance of taking over Bell Labs.
After he proposed this idea, Stephen became a little worried:
"Yi, our shares plus those of shareholders are enough to win over Lucent, and shareholders are currently suffering heavy losses. If someone is willing to take over, they must be willing to take over. However, the United States has many technical blockades against China, which cannot be solved with money."
Stephen knows certain aspects of the situation very well, and Yi Xiaohai also knows this very well.
He asked:
¡°Are all researchers at Bell Labs currently aware of the news that the laboratory is disbanding?¡±
"Lucent has held a board meeting. Colleagues who voluntarily leave can receive two months' compensation. Those who want to stay can stick with the company. As of now, some people have chosen to leave,"
Companies in the United States provide good compensation to laid-off employees, but now that the company has problems and they hope that employees will voluntarily resign and be given two months' compensation, many people will still choose to leave.
Because everyone knows that the company will not last long. If you leave early, you can still get compensation, but if you leave late, you will get nothing.
"Stephen, I know it is unrealistic to take over Bell Labs completely, but I hope you can try your best. At the same time, please provide a list of researchers in the laboratory"
Yi Xiaohai knew that it was impossible to take over all of them, and there were 100,000 people in Bell Labs, so it was impossible for him to take over all of them.
He asked Stephen to fight for it, which was a smoke bomb. Secretly, he would send the person in charge of Han and Tang Dynasties in North America to contact those researchers privately.
The United States prevents the entire laboratory from moving to China, but it cannot prevent the resigned research institutes from working in China.?.
Stephen also understood what Yi Xiaohai meant and immediately agreed.
He is actually a front, responsible for attracting the attention of certain people and buying time for Yi Xiaohai to contact those researchers privately.
If it were just like this, Stephen would have no psychological burden.
Because he is an American and blatantly helped Yi Xiaohai take down Bell Labs, he will probably be sprayed to death.
It¡¯s different now. As long as he fails, no one will say anything. As for his private behavior, it doesn¡¯t have much to do with him.

Ping Fei, a top student who graduated from one of the top universities in China, came to the United States to study and returned to China for 6 years, but he came to the United States again.
He wanted to serve the motherland, otherwise he would not have finished studying abroad. He refused invitations from major research laboratories in the United States and returned to China resolutely.
It¡¯s a pity that reality is always cruel.
If one of his papers wants to be published, it must be preceded by n names, and he, the original author, is ranked last.
I don¡¯t understand the allocation of funds. Their research projects are always projects for which other countries have made public research results and data.
Just spend 3 months on it, the core remains the same, change the shell, and it will become your own research results.
He donated his research projects and patents in the United States for free in order to improve the overall level of communications. In the end, he patented other people's patents and collected high patent fees.
Ping Fei proposed research topics many times, but all were rejected. The results of his own research were either ignored or turned into collective results.
He worked indifferently for 6 years and received an invitation letter from Bell Labs. He did not hesitate and chose to leave.
Although he left his hometown, he felt happier than ever.
He is free to study the topics he wants to study. As long as he has a theoretical foundation, the laboratory will allocate funds to him.
The final research results are still his own, but 10% of the profits generated in the future need to be given to the laboratory.
The conditions are still very relaxed and suitable for him.
¡°It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t expect that the split of the original company failed to destroy Bell Labs, but the Internet crisis defeated Bell Labs.
The senior management has notified everyone that the laboratory was disbanded. Pingfei did not hesitate and resigned directly without asking for compensation.
He holds 8 patents in his hands, which is enough for him to live a comfortable life, all thanks to the laboratory.
Ping Fei, who was suddenly free, was considering whether to return to China for a visit, when the person in charge of the Han and Tang Dynasties came to find him. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
