“What do you mean? Could it be that there’s corruption among my subordinates?”

Zhao Ruoshuang said coldly. She thought that she was still very good at reading people.

“If you don’t believe me, you can check if the company’s assets have changed recently.”

Because he knew the plot, Luo Chen was so certain.

In the original story, Ye Bei had helped her to catch a large number of corrupt employees, which made Zhao Ruoshuang feel that he was capable.

Zhao Ruoshuang snorted coldly and did not say anything.

However, she planned to investigate the matter of Azure Dragon Technology when she returned to see if it was really as Luo Chen had said.

Shen Shuyi also felt that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly tried to smooth things over. “Alright, stop arguing. Drink the milk tea. It’s very sweet.”

“We are not arguing. I just hope that Vice President Luo can fulfill the bet.”

Zhao Ruoshuang took the milk tea and said.

She estimated that she would see the news that Cadabra’s stocks had fallen below the distribution price in a while.

Luo Chen shook his head. “Why do you always think that I’ll lose?”

“Because what you said just now was wrong. The field trip is only a part of it. The most important thing is the sales data and business model. These two can determine the life and death of a company.

Besides, you’ve never gone to Cadabra for a field trip, right? Then what makes you think it will definitely rise greatly?”

Zhao Ruoshuang’s words were reasonable.

In all her years in office, other than Azure Dragon Technology, she had never suffered such a huge loss.

“I invested because I valued the business concept. Moreover, the boss of this company, Jeff Bezos, is someone who dares to work hard and be a pioneer. I understand all of this. Therefore, with these two things and the development of the trend, it’s difficult for him not to become rich.”

Luo Chen naturally would not only do things based on his memories.

It was simply too easy for him to understand a person or industry. Back home, as long as the name Jeff Bezos was mentioned, even kids would know his story.

From all angles, Jeff Bezos was a qualified businessman!

Seeing that Luo Chen was stubborn, Zhao Ruoshuang could not help but feel a little angry.

Suddenly, she thought of a way to keep Luo Chen away from Shen Shuyi.

Zhao Ruoshuang looked at Luo Chen and said, “Since Vice President Luo is so confident, do you dare to add some stakes to the previous bet?”

“Tell me, you can add any reward you want.”

Luo Chen said indifferently. In any case, he would not lose.

Seeing Luo Chen’s expression, Zhao Ruoshuang gritted her teeth and said, “Do you dare to agree to any of the other party’s requests within the limits of the law?”

She planned to make Luo Chen leave Shen Shuyi after the results were out. He was not allowed to harass her for the rest of his life.

Luo Chen smiled and said, “Sure, as long as you don’t regret it.”

“Of course I won’t regret it.”

With that, Zhao Ruoshuang stared at the television and stopped talking.

“Dear viewers, the final news today is a company called Cadabra. After the company was listed, it was renamed as Amazon. In three minutes, Amazon will be listed on the Nasdaq. Let’s wait and see what the results are!”

After the host finished speaking, a classic advertisement appeared.

When the image returned, the host had disappeared. There was only a K-line diagram and two red and green lines on the screen.

In the beginning, the green line kept rising like a helicopter!

“Dear viewers, as far as we know, before Amazon went public, the boss, Jeff Bezos, had changed his strategic goals. The prospects are very good. Now that the stock data is perfected, I believe he will achieve a good result tonight!”

Amazon had just been launched not long ago and its capital had already exceeded 100 million.

However, as the stock price continued to rise, in just a few minutes, Amazon’s value increased several times to one billion.

Such an outcome definitely meant a huge profit!

Although Luo Chen had only invested 20 million previously, Amazon’s shares was not worth much at that time and thus, Luo Chen directly owned 40% shares now.

Although 40% did not seem like a lot, as more and more people joined, the stock price would continue to dilute into small percentages. Thus, Luo Chen’s 40% would definitely be considered huge.

When Luo Chen saw that the price had already reached its upper limit, a smile appeared on his face, but he was not satisfied.

Luo Chen picked up his phone and dialed a number. “Tell Jeff Bezos not to stop. No matter how many shares there are today, I’ll cover for him.

Also, the Luo Family’s overseas department stores, food, and cold chain industries will all cooperate with Amazon, including the share companies!”

Luo Chen wanted Amazon to reach its peak!

“Amazon’s shares have risen to the limit! It’s really a role model for new enterprises. I wonder if the next time Amazon’s stock exchange opens…”

Before the host could finish speaking, the green line of Amazon’s stocks rose again.

“This… It actually didn’t stop! It’s still rising!”

If ordinary companies did this, the greatest possibility was that the stocks would be sold at a low price in the early stages, but the price would be very high in the later stages. The gains would not make up for the losses.

But with Luo Chen around, he would not let this happen.

The Luo Family also had many trump cards overseas and was very famous.

Their involvement would only increase Amazon’s market value, and when the investors saw these companies join, they would naturally continue to buy.

On the other hand, when the other companies saw that the emotions of the shareholders were soaring, coupled with the fact that they were not afraid since an alpha company was taking the lead, more and more companies joined.

In this cycle, the green line of Amazon’s stocks kept rising!

Until the market value of Amazon exceeded 10 billion, the rich merchants and families both domestically and abroad were moved.

This was because there were not many companies like this that could list at ten billion. Hence, they began to send people to investigate Amazon.

After investigating, these big shots were shocked by Amazon’s business philosophy.

As long as it was operated well, Amazon would definitely be the largest middleman in the world. The profits would be self-evident!

Therefore, after the large clans took action, some stock companies also targeted Amazon.

They knew that they would not make a mistake if they hugged Jeff Bezos’s thigh, so they followed up without hesitation!

After an hour, Amazon reached its upper limit.

In the end, the total market value reached an astonishing 50 billion USD!

Actually, it could have been higher, but Luo Chen also knew that the tallest tree would encounter the most wind, so he directly ordered the exchange to be closed.

Moreover, a cake was meant to be eaten separately. If he ate all of it, those who wanted to survive in the e-commerce industry would hope that Amazon would die quickly.

Instead, if he became the leader, he would obtain the support of a large number of people.

After the exchange was closed, the show came to an end.

“Dear viewers, today’s “I’m Here to Watch the Market” program will end here. Please stay on the channel for the following program: “The Expert has something to say!”

Because of Amazon’s appearance, it instantly became the focus of the business world.

The television station also temporarily added an explanation about Amazon on the show.

An old middle-aged man said on the television, “Amazon is not a simple company. Its operating model can be said to be very advanced, and there seems to be a mysterious eastern force behind it…”
