Chapter 780 Listing

Chapter 780 Listing

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. I think this proposal is good. It can reduce internal conflicts and improve stability by adjusting the rules. What we need to do now is to rebuild the public's confidence in the governance capabilities of the work." At this time, someone in the meeting room raised his hand.

After hearing this, the remaining members of the team thought about it and raised their hands to express their agreement.

If the job is ruined, what else can they talk about?

In fact, this reform has both advantages and disadvantages.

If Kevin does what he says, the power of the union will be expanded, and some members of the leadership team will worry that the union's influence will be too strong, which may lead to the election of the leader being controlled by a minority group.

In addition, as the voting mechanism has become more complicated, the enthusiasm of some grassroots members to vote is likely to decrease.

Speaking of Gillard and Kevin, there are obvious differences in their political ideas, policy orientations and styles of doing things. They are both allies and competitors due to the change of power.

Kevin advocates climate change issues and international multilateral cooperation, and advocates reshaping the international image of Turkey and Australia through policy innovation. He advocates inclusive social policies, apologizes to the indigenous people, and promotes the legalization of same-sex marriage. During the financial crisis, he also launched a 420 billion Australian dollar economic stimulus plan to stabilize employment through infrastructure projects such as the school construction revolution.

Gillard focused on people's livelihood areas such as medical care and education, and implemented the "Gonski Education Reform Plan" and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), that is, focusing on local reforms.

As the first female leader, she pushed for paid maternity leave legislation, but at the same time avoided the label of radical feminism. She advocated the formulation of policies through negotiations between unions and companies, and opposed Kevin's approach of directly intervening in the market.

In terms of mineral taxes, Kevin redistributes the excess profits of mining companies from rising resource prices to ensure that national benefits are shared fairly.

Gillard narrowed the scope of taxation despite strong opposition from mining giants, only taxing the profits of iron ore and coal, with the tax rate reduced to 30%.

To put it simply, Kevin is a reformist, while Gillard is a pragmatist.

Seeing that most people raised their hands to agree to the change in Quebec's election rules, Gillard didn't know what to say anymore and could only sit there with his arms folded and sulked.

At this time, Chen Xi, who was sitting in the office, was looking at the computer and thinking about something.

This world is indeed different from the previous life. It seems that many things happen earlier than in the previous life.

According to the situation in the previous life, Kevin should have regained the presidency first, then led the team to participate in the general election, and then lost.

As a result, the election was completed last year, and the leader was changed only after the ruling party stepped down.

Tsk tsk tsk!
In fact, Chen Xi had noticed something was wrong during the previous Happy male voice talent show.

But he didn't take it to heart at the time.

But now, looking at the simulated stock trading data on the computer screen, he became even more certain.

He didn't make much money from the stocks he bought before. Instead, he suffered a small loss. However, others lost more than him, so his ranking actually rose.

Looking at the nicknames of the top few people, Chen Xi covered his mouth and almost laughed out loud.

The person named (Rogers’ Great Disciple is Here) must be Wang Qiansui without a doubt.

When he opened the simulated stock trading forum, a hot post caught his attention. The title read: "There is no skill in domestic stocks, so you might as well just pick randomly!"

He clicked on the post and quickly browsed the content. The poster used a seemingly joking tone, but in fact he revealed his sarcasm about the domestic stock market.

The post reads: The domestic stock market seems to be unaffected by any fundamentals or macro policies. Instead of spending a lot of time on fundamental analysis or technical research on individual stocks, it is better to randomly select stocks, which may yield more unexpected returns. A screenshot was attached at the end of the post, showing that he had obtained a good return by randomly selecting stocks, which aroused discussion among many netizens.

When there are posts like this, there are bound to be 'experts' responding.

Someone immediately started to criticize. A user nicknamed "Stock Market Floating for Decades" refuted fiercely: "I have been trading stocks for decades, and I know everything about technical analysis and fundamental research. How dare someone speak nonsense to me? It's like showing off in front of Guan Gong! Randomly selecting stocks? Do you think the stock market is a casino? In my opinion, your remarks are purely misleading!"

The expert's words also attracted another wave of ridicule. A user nicknamed "Data Doesn't Lie" said: "Oh, this stock market master, you claim to be skilled, but I checked your stock trading records and found that your loss rate in the past month is as high as 47%? Has your unique technology made you lose money to perfection?"

After saying that, the man also attached a screenshot, which was actually the trading record of the man who had "experienced ups and downs in the stock market for twenty years" for more than a month. The screen was full of green and he had suffered huge losses.

The comments section went wild with this. Someone joked, "Master, your skills are truly unrivaled, but in reverse!"

Some people even said, "Master, please start a money-losing training course. I'll be the first to sign up! It would be a shame if you don't pass on your skills!"

A user with a nickname similar to Chen Xi, called "Leek President", started to be sarcastic: "Hey, Master, don't look at other people's random stock selection, at least they can still make money! How come you, a technical expert, lost so much money? Isn't it time to reflect on whether your technology is not mature enough or the market is immune to your technology?"

Chen Xi clicked on this person's data and saw that the profit was 95%. No wonder he was so arrogant.

The simulated stock trading competition has a cycle of every three months. According to Chen Xi’s previous memory, the top ten will make a profit of about 50%-100%, the third place will make about 80%-150%, the runner-up will make 100%-200%, and the champion will make 150%-400%.

The current statistics of this guy called "Chairman of Leek" are quite impressive.

'Rogers's Disciple is Here' is only profitable at 77% now.

Damn it, if I can’t make money by buying things properly, then I’ll do the opposite!
So, relying on his memory, Chen Xi bought several stocks that had suffered heavy losses in his previous life.

"Are you trading stocks? Why are you buying these green stocks?" Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him.

Chen Xi was so focused on playing that he didn't notice someone coming into the office.

Yuan Shuai was standing behind him at this time and asked with some confusion.

"That's right, these are all sunset stocks that are emitting green light. If you don't buy them now, you will never get them again. I want to protect the market for the country!"

"…Isn't this a simulated stock trading…what the hell is this?" Yuan Shuai took a closer look and was suddenly speechless.

"What are you looking for me for?"

“I just got the news that Carsales has partnered with Tesla to introduce the Model S to the Australian market!”

"Oh."

After hearing this, Chen Xi responded calmly.

"Why are you so calm? Shouldn't we do something?"

"Hmm... let me think about it... it seems like we should do something. We can also cooperate with car companies!"

“With which car company?”

"Nissan!"

"Ah? Buy a gasoline car?"

"Of course it's the train!"

"But, Nissan Leaf's electric car has a range of only 135 kilometers and costs 4 Australian dollars. The Model S has a range of 400 kilometers." Yuan Shuai was stunned after hearing this.

"Of course I know, then let me ask you how much does the Model S cost?" Chen Xi remained calm. "The basic model is 10 Australian dollars, and the high-performance version is 15 Australian dollars."

"That's right, how many idiots would buy such an expensive tram? Aren't trams mainly cheap? It's just like a basic mobile phone. They will definitely sell more than a flagship phone!"

"But... why do we need to bring in so many trams? We have to advertise and pay employees to promote them. Isn't this helping Norbert?"

"We negotiated with Nissan and asked them to give us enough money back for every car sold. We then bought some cars through Hail Hop and gave them to the owners. We also rented some cars for daily use and then sold them to Carsales."

"Oh my God!"

"Just do as I say. Aren't you going back to China? I'll try to complete the listing before you return."

"Really?" Yuan Shuai's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"Ding ding." At this time, the mobile phone on the table rang. Chen Xi picked it up and saw that it was Norbert.

As the saying goes, speak of the devil and he will appear. He immediately answered the phone.

He put down the phone in less than a minute and smiled at Yuan Shuai: "The guy over there asked me out for a chat!"

Half an hour later, in a coffee shop near the company, Chen Xi and Norbert found an empty corner and sat down.

The air was filled with soft whispers and light music.

The waiter came over with a tray, gently placed two cups of coffee on the table, said "Enjoy your meal" and left.

Before leaving, she glanced at the two of them. They were sitting close together, looking focused, as if they were having a serious conversation. The waiter's eyes stayed between them for a second, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

In foreign countries, homosexuality is no longer a rare thing.

She shook her head slightly and sighed in her heart: "It looks like a good match."

On the other side, Chen Xi and Norbert didn't notice the waiter's thoughts at all.

Chen Xi picked up the coffee, took a sip, and looked at Norbert thoughtfully through the rim of the cup. Norbert crossed his hands on the table, looking serious, as if waiting for Chen Xi's next words.

"Are you calling me here to beg me or to threaten me?" After the waiter left, Chen Xi spoke first.

"It was you who proposed this tram project, you must have a detailed plan!" Norbert pointed at him.

"Oh? Didn't you say before that you came up with it yourself? You are really changeable." Chen Xi sneered.

Hearing this, Norbert's old face turned red: "I don't want to talk to you about these useless things, just tell me what to do now."

"Why should I help you? You are my rival. I have never seen anyone go to their enemy for help."

"I heard that Real-Car has already submitted an application to ASX for listing. If I were to create some trouble for you at this critical juncture, what do you think would happen?" Norbert raised his eyebrows, and his expression was as mean as Tom in Tom and Jerry.

However, this meant something different in the eyes of the waitress in the distance. She nodded slightly, feeling that her previous guess was correct.

"Are you threatening me?" Chen Xi leaned back on the sofa with his arms folded.

"No, no, no, I'm happy to see Real-Car go public successfully. Carsales needs competition to grow continuously, and your company is just the perfect whetstone for me. Now it's just a small deal, and you can choose not to agree!" Norbert spread his hands, took a sip of coffee and said, "The coffee here tastes good!"

"Okay, then I'll tell you where the problem with your project lies!"

"Don't try to fool me with these things. We are all in the automotive business, and no one can fool anyone else."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you really are a mean person who judges others by your own standards. You have already laid out the charging stations for electric cars, but the market share of cars is pitifully low, which means that your charging stations are currently wasted! What we need now is to get everyone to drive electric cars!"

"What you said is nonsense. I know people should be encouraged to buy trams. But what can I do if they don't buy them? The government subsidies are not enough. Do I have to pay for it myself?" Norbert said angrily.

"If the subsidies are not enough, we can think of other ways. For example, if the insurance for electric vehicles is expensive, we can lower the insurance price. If the electric vehicles are expensive, we can lower the battery price."

"That's easier said than done. But I can handle the mine and the insurance company..."

"Okay, I know you won't believe me. Let me help you expand the tram market."

"Would you be so kind?" Norbert snorted coldly.

"Of course there must be a reward for hard work. How can I work for nothing?"

"What do you want?" Norbert stretched his head forward.

"This!" Chen Xi rubbed his fingers.

It is very quick for Australian companies to apply for listing. The preliminary preparation work is to find a sponsor (guarantor/recommender) and a legal team. There are also materials such as completing financial audits and optimizing corporate governance structures.

From the time the application is submitted, it can theoretically be listed on the ASX in three months at the earliest, and at the latest in half a year. This listing process is much faster than in China.

As long as Norbert is held back and prevented from causing trouble, Real-Car can be listed directly.

However, the other party would definitely not cooperate so obediently, and Chen Xi planned to make a profit from this guy.

An hour later, the two walked out of the coffee shop, both with smiles on their faces.

However, this scene made the waitress think wrongly. She found another male waiter and said with a smile: "These two people have a really good relationship. They actually drank coffee for more than an hour..."

After parting with Norbert, Chen Xi immediately came to Alinna.

"Edward and the Collins House Group are already helping me get the company listed." Chen Xi said while sitting on the sofa in the office.

"There are no problems with the financial requirements. The cumulative net profit in the past three years is greater than one million Australian dollars, and the net profit in the most recent year is greater than four hundred thousand Australian dollars. The net value of tangible assets is greater than three million. There is no problem with the market value test... Edward and I are directors... The difficulty lies..." Alin said while smoking.

In fact, these are not problems. To successfully go public, you still need the approval of ASX, as well as roadshow pricing, to determine the issue price and share allocation.

"I just had a chat with Norbert. The old guy threatened me with going public and wanted me to help him solve his current problem. So I dug a trap for him. Electric cars need batteries to run. Lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese are all commonly used minerals. Not to mention the nickel mines I bought in Indonesia, Australia's lithium, cobalt, and manganese production ranks among the top in the world, and we also have quite a few mines..." Chen Xi lit a cigarette.

"What do you want to say?" Alin was a little confused.

"You know the big parade a while ago, where Gongdangdangkui was replaced by Kevin."

"Well, everyone knows this. It's already on the news."

"Kevin previously pursued a balanced policy of increasing taxes on the mining industry, while Gillard implemented tax cuts. Although this was not her original intention, it shows that Gillard could not withstand the pressure from mining bosses. Now that Kevin is back, the mineral tax will definitely increase, and the prices of these mines will also rise accordingly..."

"Oh, I understand, you cunning guy!" A Lin immediately reacted and pointed at Chen Xi with a smile. The two smiled at each other. (End of this chapter)
