Before the advent of smartphones, college students had always been the backbone of netizens. Various campus forums emerged one after another. The more popular forums like Shuimu Tsinghua University played a leading role among college students.
But Sun Tao basically doesn't go to this kind of website. Firstly, he can't accept the layout style. Secondly, he doesn't like the arguments that college students think are more cutting-edge and radical. Thirdly, the network speed is not good and there are basically no photos in the forum. Even if there is, it's all at the pixel level and completely unattractive.
Therefore, [Inside the Olympic Baby Audition], [The story that Sun has to tell between himself and his female classmates], [What is it like to have a dance partner who is an interviewer], [...] and so on, let those who He has never seen a single pornographic novel with him as the leading actor and a plot comparable to pornographic films.
On Tuesday, February 17, 2004, at ten o'clock in the morning, Sun Tao appeared at the Capital Airport terminal in Yan Feng's car. He was accompanied by Qi Jinhua. They took different flights one to the south and one to the north. They waited for a while. People are about to part ways.
In the VIP lounge, Qi Jinhua looked at Sun Tao strangely, "Have you never been fooled?"
"Why did Miss Qi say that?" Sun Tao replied leisurely while drinking coffee.
The VIP lounge, freshly ground coffee, and exquisite barbecue set menu will be available soon. More importantly, there is no need to queue up for security check, which makes the most boring two hours before departure become more leisurely.
Having money cannot extend a person's life, but having money can make time more meaningful.
If you have money, you don’t need to wait in line for 20 minutes to enter the terminal; you don’t need to rush to the supermarket to buy during the discount season; if you have money, you don’t need to pick and compare at the vegetable market. Bargaining... It's also 24 hours a day. If you have money, your life can be more leisurely.
Qi Jinhua smiled and said: "You have met this man named Yan Feng a few times and you dare to let him be your driver and housekeeper. You will give him all the car keys and house keys. You are not afraid that he will take over your house while you are away." Cleared for you... Oh, hahaha, I suspected that his wife must be very beautiful at first, but it turns out she is incomparable to the girls in our company.”
Yan Feng? Can Tong Lei do it? If they were as sinister as the couple in the Korean movie "Parasite", they wouldn't be so virtuous...
People are bound by the education they have received since childhood, the character, thinking habits and behavioral habits they have developed since childhood.
Sun Tao smiled faintly and said, "Don't doubt the people you employ, and don't use them if you doubt them."
Qi Jinhua, "So you are the kind of person who firmly believes that there are more good people than bad people. Hahaha, in fact, it is very rare for everyone to say that they really want to do this."
Sun Tao shook his head, "Well~~~Not at all. There are no good or bad people in my eyes. What I believe is that there are more smart people than stupid people.
You see, the man is in good health and can drive, the woman graduated from a medical school and has nursing experience. The couple are both from out of town and have a child to raise. ”
Sun Tao didn't elaborate, but of course Qi Jinhua understood. As an outsider, if you are concerned, as long as you are not stupid, you can tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.
"What about Tang Lei? Do you agree with his judgment on Liu Qiangdong? 5 million is still an upfront investment, and it only accounts for 5% of Liu Qiangdong's Jingdong Mall, which is still a castle in the air. I think he is a bit like a big grievance. Plant!”
Sun Tao, "Didn't he also recommend Baofeng Video to us? We negotiated 2 million for 5%..."
Qi Jinhua pouted, "What do you think of as a venture capital investment? If you invest ten times or a hundred times the return, if you fail, it's all in vain... Huh... I see you are so confident, but now I'm on tenterhooks." Sun Tao Hugging Qi Jinhua Shoulder, "You don't need to be worried. I also talked to Tang Lei yesterday. He has connections, channels and experience working in an international investment bank. I think his idea of introducing international capital is quite reliable."
"Humph~International capital? Foreigners are making all the money? Or are they digging holes for foreigners?"
Sun Tao smiled and said, "They have a lot of money. Didn't you also say that you can't just think about returns ten times or a hundred times? The money wasted in the venture capital industry is also gone."
Qi Jinhua looked at Sun Tao, "I don't believe him, I believe you!"
Currently, the funds for Langhua Investment come from multiple channels. Generally speaking, they mainly consist of three parts: First, Sun Tao and Qi Jinhua’s registered capital of 1 million each, second, capital injection from Qijia Real Estate, and third, investment from Qi Wei’s circle of friends ( Of course they have to pay back regularly, which is similar to private lending if you think about it);
The actual funds available to Langhua Investment are about 12 million, but they can only use 9 million because they have to keep some to prevent someone from suddenly withdrawing their capital (Sun Tao also knows now that an investment agreement is just a piece of waste paper. If someone proposes to withdraw capital and you negotiate an agreement and contract with them, then you should not expect anyone to invest in this region)
Originally, Qi Jinhua told Sun Tao that funds could be obtained through private equity in the circle of friends, but Sun Tao said that it should be done step by step. If the step is too big, it will easily lead to trouble.
Of course, this is actually an excuse. Sun Tao firmly believes that he will not lose money. Invest in JD.com, invest in Pinxixi, invest in Meituan, invest in ByteDance... Don't invest in Evergrande, don't invest in Country Garden...
Because Sun Tao knows that policies like Qi Jinhua's are extremely risky, and the relevant laws and regulations have always been imperfect, and the power of interpretation lies in the hands of judges. Where is the boundary between investment companies and illegal fund-raising?
Whether it is investment or illegal fund-raising, it all depends on their thoughts.
It's okay to make money, but it's a big deal once you lose money!
Sun Tao had the impression that there was a female boss in Zhijiang who was sentenced to death for illegally raising funds. At that time, she happened to be selling houses in Hangzhou, so she had a deep impression.
Alibaba, Tencent, why are the major shareholders all international capital (of course some are disguised as domestic capital), Sun Tao has read various interpretations on Douyin.
Is what the blogger said must be correct? Sun Tao was not sure, but at least he had heard various arguments and his thinking was relatively open-minded.
The plane to Hangzhou left first, and Qi Jinhua reluctantly said goodbye to Sun Tao.
For investment companies, it is not whoever pays more will have a greater say and higher returns, but who takes greater risks.
There is no doubt that if Langhua loses money, it is Sun Tao and Qi Jinhua who will lose first, so the two of them get the big share, while others get the fixed income according to the agreed ratio (the agreements are different, some people follow the rising tide, and some people get fixed income similar to financial products.)
After talking for a day yesterday, Qingzhou Group's appointment of Tang Lei as CEO has basically been finalized.
Looking at Qi Jinhua's retreating figure, Sun Tao lowered his head and sighed. The proportion of the Qi family in Langhua Investment was too high. If he didn't find a way to balance it, there was no guarantee that he would not become the Qi family's gold medal copycat one day in the future.
Love, family affection, are nothing in the face of huge interests. This is not a question of trust or distrust, this is human nature.
Sun Tao felt that taking preventive measures was the most beneficial option for the two of them, although it seemed that there were a lot of calculations involved. (End of chapter)
