Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 618 Tomorrow Capital
"Hoo~!"

"Finally got another one!"

Seeing Xu Xing's Mercedes-Benz leaving, Chen Li couldn't help but clenched his fists, which made him look a little excited.

But~ he does have a reason to be excited, because just now~ he successfully fooled Xu Xing, the VC circle boss who was known as the investment queen in his previous life~ he successfully reached a cooperation with the other party.

Chen Li and Xu Xing have known each other for almost two years, and the relationship between him and each other has been pretty good in these two years.

Although Chen Li seemed a little unsound about investing in Panda QQ before, but now that Chen Li has become Xu Xing's boss, this matter doesn't seem so important.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that Chen Li is Xu Xing's boss, because strictly speaking, the relationship between Chen Li and Xu Xing is not an employment relationship, but a cooperative relationship.

Xu Xing will set up a capital company by himself, and Chen Li will hand over part of the funds that are free in his account to Xu Xing.

And in return~ Xu Xing needs to help Chen Li with some investment projects when he needs it.

To put it bluntly~ Chen Li handed over the money to Xu Xing to take care of it. Usually~ Xu Xing basically decides how to use the money, but if Chen Li has a clear goal~ Xu Xing will also help Chen Li complete the investment.

From a literal point of view, this does not seem to be a difficult task, but the actual operation is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In his previous life~ Chen Li had almost no understanding of the so-called investment circle, and most of his little understanding came from the news media and some online novels.

This also gave Chen Li the illusion that investment is the transaction between money and the project itself.

But after Chen Li was reborn, he discovered the way to invest in this industry~ In fact, there are quite a lot.

For example, in the eyes of ordinary people, there is actually a big gap between the status of entrepreneurs and investors.

Because we can always see in a lot of news ~ how difficult it is for some business leaders to raise funds when they start their businesses.

For hundreds of thousands to millions of funds, those business leaders who will be successful in the future not only need to humble themselves, but even beg their grandpa to sue their grandma to meet investors.

The most important thing is that even if they do this, they may not be able to successfully obtain funds from investors in the end.

At first glance~ this kind of status gap between entrepreneurs and investors seems to be similar to the need for pocket money between a son and a godfather.

If the son's grades are good~ then the godfather will give the pocket money very happily.

If your son's grades are poor~ let alone pocket money, he won't even bother to talk to you.

The reason why it is a godfather instead of a father. The main reason is that there is only one father, but there are many godfathers!
It is also because there are many godfathers~ so those successful companies will always meet someone who likes this godson at a critical moment.

Then this godson finally succeeded with the support of the godfather who liked him~ and then became a godfather himself.

Cough cough~ Well, this metaphor must be somewhat inaccurate, but it is indeed very vivid.

But in fact~ if a godson wants to be successful, it is not enough just to rely on his godfather's pocket money.

In addition to pocket money~ a godfather also needs to use his own resources to support his godson in an all-round way.

And once the godson has passed the hard days at the beginning, he will become more proud after he has achieved certain results.

At this time ~ if some godfathers come over and want to invest in godsons, the relationship between the two will become reversed.

Then ~ you will see a group of so-called godfathers "fighting", and the winner in the end is eligible to be this godfather.

No~ Those who came later can no longer be called godfathers, at most they can only be called godbrothers.

If the entrepreneur’s business is good enough, they may not even need any godfathers at the beginning, at most two godbrothers. After all, what they want is not godfather’s pocket money~ but godbrothers to help them "fight" ".

That's right~ I'm talking about entrepreneurs like Chen Li!
Chen Li is not short of those three melons and two dates, and some other people like him are not short of money~ and some of them are completely self-sufficient in the enterprise itself.

Such a company~ looking for investors often has only one purpose, join forces~ to become bigger and stronger!

But for Chen Li, he can't even play the role of "godson" well, let alone play the role of godbrother and godfather.

After all, no matter which of these two roles~, you can't just pick someone up. If you don't have any real skills, you might even be tricked to death by some godsons with ulterior motives.

So ~ for these godfathers and godbrothers, how to choose a godson with "excellent grades" is also a very difficult thing.

Of course~ In fact, this matter may not be that difficult for Chen Li.

After all, there are more than 20 years of memories in his mind, and it is relatively easy to select some entrepreneurs with outstanding achievements.

But the problem is that even if he can find these people, whether these people are willing to recognize him as godfather or godbrother is also a problem.

Especially Chen Li is very unprofessional in the investment industry, so he has to find a professional person to take up this role.

And Xu Xing~ is the one Chen Li thinks is the most suitable person.

Although in 2000, Xu Xing was not the queen of investment later on, but even the reborn Chen Li~ had to give a thumbs up to her personal ability.

This achievement, which has progressed from a bank teller to the head of the Huaxia District of an investment fund, is already a goal that most people will find difficult to achieve in their lifetime.

If Chen Li was still an ordinary person in his previous life, then at most he could only stand aside and shout "Sister Xu 666" now.

Because as an ordinary person, Chen Li didn't have the capital to attract the other party.

However~ Although Chen Li is not considered a top boss, he is barely qualified to wear the hat of a small boss.

And the most important point is, don't look at Xu Xing's glory in front of those entrepreneurs, but in fact, she is just a part-time job.

Don't look at her as the person in charge of Baring Capital in China, but even in China, Xu Xing's voice is not as great as imagined.

For many decisions, Xu Xing needs to discuss with her colleagues and report to her superiors.

The reason is very simple~ As a Chinese, it is actually very difficult for her to gain the trust of the capital behind it.

But even with his current status, it took Xu Xing a lot of effort to climb up.

So when Chen Li invited her at first, she rejected Chen Li without thinking much.

But as Chen Li's career developed better and better, Xu Xing's mood became more and more shaken.

Especially some time ago, when she learned that Miss Mu, whom she recommended to Chen Li, helped Chen Li manage a huge sum of money, it would be bragging to say that Xu Xing was not interested.

Having dealt with Chen Li for more than a year, Xu Xing thought that he knew Chen Li very well.

And~ from the situation of that Miss Mu, it can be seen that Chen Li, a young man, treats his employees with great trust.

It just so happens that trust is exactly what Xu Xing lacks the most.

It's not that she doesn't trust others, but that others don't trust her!

Although she is the person in charge of the Huaxia District, Xu Xing is actually very clear~ The reason why she can sit in this position is not only her own ability and hard work, but also because of this position. It must be done by a Huaxia District. People come and sit.

There is actually nothing to say about this~ Since it is an investment institution in Huaxia, the person in charge must be a Huaxia person.

I really want to find a foreigner to take up this position~ Leaving aside other things, the cultural difference between the East and the West is a big problem.

Moreover, finding a Huaxia person to be the person in charge may make it easier for Huaxia entrepreneurs to accept it, so that the chances for investment institutions to make money may be greater~more.

So ~ not only Baring Capital, but also other capital institutions that have entered the country, most of the people in charge are almost from Huaxia.

It’s just that these people have different abilities—accurately speaking, the size of the benefits they earn for capital determines their importance in investment institutions.

Needless to say about Xu Xing's abilities~ The title of investment queen in his previous life was definitely not fabricated out of thin air.

But the problem is that it is the year 2000!

As the person in charge of Baring Capital in China, Xu Xing is responsible for many projects, but there are not many that can create benefits for capital.

Before Xu Xing took advantage of the boom in the Internet industry, he invested in many small and medium-sized Internet companies in China.

As a result, the arrival of the Internet bubble crisis directly wiped out most of the Internet companies that could not stand the test.

Even though the companies that Xu Xing invests in include many excellent companies such as Wangnan and Red Pony Technology, the stock price of Wangnan suffered a collapse as soon as it went public.

Although Red Pony Technology is about to go public, judging from the current environment, even if Red Pony Technology goes public, its stock price may not be able to reach an ideal level.

So ~ Xu Xing seems to be successful, but it is not so successful.

This also made Xu Xing's position in Baring Capital somewhat awkward!
And the most important thing is~ as a foreign capital, its own trust in the Chinese market or even the Chinese people is not that high.

In the previous life, Baring Capital had never opened up the domestic market, and it was precisely because of this.

Apart from trust, there is another reason for Xu Xing to leave Baring Capital.

Just two months ago, a big conflict broke out between Xu Xing and the capital organization behind him, and it was this conflict that strengthened Xu Xing's determination to leave Baring Capital.

This matter~ Speaking of it, it still has a lot to do with the Internet bubble crisis, and at the same time, it is also directly related to Wangnan's current predicament.

Speaking of which, Baring Capital's investment in Wangnan was definitely a profitable business.

According to the urgency of investment institutions ~ after the general investment target company goes public ~ it is often time for investment institutions to cash out and leave the market.

However, because the timing of Wangnan's listing was not very good, when it was listed in June, the impact of the bubble crisis had already expanded to a considerable extent.

Therefore, as soon as Wangnan went public, its stock price was greatly affected.

And Xu Xing~, based on the consideration of the interests of investors, after gaining a deep understanding of Wangnan's operating conditions, felt that the impact of the bubble crisis on China's Internet industry was actually not that great.

As long as it survives this bubble crisis, Wangnan's share price is bound to return to a correct value range.

So ~ Xu Xing persuaded the investors of Baring Capital to suspend their cash-out behavior, so that they can wait for the opportunity to seek greater benefits, and secondly, they can avoid a worse impact on Wangnan Company.

And out of trust in Xu Xing~ the investors approved Xu Xing's suggestion, but immediately after Wangnan broke out internal disagreements, coupled with the fact that its stock was maliciously shorted in the capital market, so... this group of investors Even if people wanted to leave, there was nothing they could do.

Unless they are willing to bear this loss, otherwise, the funds invested before will have to be locked in the bad stock of Wangnan.

Of course ~ the stock market is risky ~ investment needs to be cautious, these investors are naturally very clear about this reason.

But the problem is~ obviously they can make money!

It's just that the profits they earned were not as much as expected, but even so~ as long as they left the market in time, the profits they earned would definitely meet their initial expectations.

After all, no matter how you say it~ Wangnan has been listed successfully!

But they believed Xu Xing's nonsense~ they didn't cash out in time and left the scene, and finally ended up like this.

Of course~ For these investors, the little money invested in Wangnan is actually nothing.

But the problem is~ For capital, a piece of fat that had been fed into his mouth was actually forked out by his own people.

It's hard for them to accept such behavior!

So here comes the question?This matter~or in other words, who should carry this pot?

The answer is naturally beyond doubt, of course it is Xu Xing, and Xu Xing can only recite it!
After all, she was responsible for the investment in Wangnan, and she, the person in charge of the Huaxia District, couldn't get rid of Wangnan's current appearance.

Regarding this point, even Xu Xing himself had to admit that he had indeed made a mistake.

She miscalculated the internal management conflicts of Wangnan, and at the same time underestimated the impact of the Internet bubble crisis.

But since the problem has already happened, then take responsibility!

Anyway, in the investment circle ~ this kind of thing is not rare, it can even be said to happen often.

So ~ Xu Xing is ready to be punished by Baring Capital.

But what Xu Xing never expected was that although the other party did not remove her position as the person in charge of the Huaxia District, they sent another person in charge.

Originally, there was nothing to say about it. After all, Xu Xing split things up, so it's not surprising that the company made such a decision.

It's just that after the new person in charge came, he didn't think about looking for new investment projects. Instead, he kept staring at Xu Xing's three-acre land.

The other party not only reviewed Xu Xing's many domestic investment projects in the past few years, but even closed the door to some investment projects that Xu Xing was in contact with.

Who is Xu Xing?That was a character who climbed up from a bank teller, and she quickly realized the purpose of the newly appointed person in charge!

This time Xu Xing was furious. For a long time~ she, Xu Xing, had been doing her best for the development of Baring Capital, but in the end, they didn't trust her so much. How could Sister Xu bear this anger?

So Sister Xu resigned directly after the other party reviewed the previous investment projects, regardless of the persuasion from above.

The time when Xu Xing left Baring Capital in the previous life actually had to wait a few years later, because although she had outstanding abilities in the early days, she was lacking in both contacts and resources.

So at that time, Sister Xu basically waited until she was full-fledged before leaving and starting Tomorrow Capital by herself.

But now~ Sister Xu offered to resign without saying a word.

The reason is very simple~ because a young brother promised her that as long as she came to help, he would hand over 5000 million US dollars to her management!

Sister Xu is also a straightforward person. After confirming that Chen Li can indeed provide so much money and confirming the cooperation model with Chen Li, she resigned simply and neatly.

Then an investment institution called Tomorrow Capital was quietly born!
