Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 514 Thank you for your trust!

Chen Li has no experience of studying abroad, and even very little experience of going abroad.

But this does not prevent him from "pretending" in front of a group of more inexperienced college students.

In particular, the experiences he narrated were not fabricated out of thin air. Although most of them came from the Internet in his previous life, the degree of authenticity was still half or half.

After all, although there were a lot of fabricated and false content on the Internet at that time, there were also many real experiences of people who had studied abroad.

Language barriers~cultural environment~accommodation, diet and living habits, and even discrimination that is very likely to be encountered, etc.

And these are the problems that international students are destined to face.

Chen Li just explained these problems, as for the final choice ~ it still needs to be made up by the preparatory international students like Li Xiaoying.

Of course ~ most international students don't need to make up their own minds, their ideas are often taken by their parents.

It's just that a little girl like Li Xiaoying who has no experience in the world can make up her own mind. Chen Li really doesn't know whether to say that the other party's parents are enlightened or bold.

But~Although Chen Li treats Li Xiaoying as his younger sister, she is not his own sister after all, so he can only state the pros and cons~ he cannot help the other party make a choice.

After chatting for about an hour, Chen Li went back to the bedroom and changed his clothes to prepare to go to work.

"Wow? Brother-in-law, you look so handsome today!"

It seems that Li Xiaoying is praising Chen Li, but in fact
"Hehe~ I also wore this outfit yesterday."

Chen Li was speechless, he knew this was a little girl because he had introduced so many to him before, so he would come here to praise himself.

"Uh heh heh!"

Probably because of lack of sleep, Li Xiaoying smiled a little silly.

"Okay~ I'm going to work, you guys had a good time today."

"Don't go back to school today, I'll bring you something delicious when I come back tonight."

Chen Li raised his hand, pressed on Li Xiaoying's messy looking hair, and then turned around to go out.

"Hmm~ brother-in-law, what delicious food did you bring tonight?"

Chen Li didn't answer, but went straight out the door. Li Xiaoying behind him wanted to ask more questions, but was dragged back by Liu Qingqing who couldn't laugh or cry.

This girl... can't hear the word "eat", but Chen Li is also delicious, plus Li Xiaoying's personality, so Liu Qingqing can't even get jealous of the relationship between the two.

"Sisters~ get ready, we are leaving!"

"I got it~ I got it, I have to work for your husband again!"

"I said Qingqing, we have to have a good meal today, you can't fool us with fried chicken anymore."

"That's right~ I used to think fried chicken was delicious, but now."

"I think the fried chicken is delicious! And the chicken popcorn fried by my brother-in-law last time is also delicious."

"Okay~ You guys do a good job today, and I will cook myself tonight."

"Farewell~ You'd better stop cooking, let Chen Li cook for us, your cooking is alas!"

A group of girls became a mess in an instant, and the original travel plan had to be postponed for a while.

Today is New Year's Day~ For the vast majority of college students, today is a day to rest or go out for fun.

But Liu Qingqing's group of roommates are used to going to Ideal Fried Chicken to help out on holidays.

On a large-scale holiday like this, you can not only get a part-time job fee of 30 yuan a day, but also have a working meal and a big meal mixed in.

To be honest~ In fact, in terms of economic benefits, it is somewhat uneconomical to ask roommates like Liu Qingqing to help.

Because labor is very low these days~ Chen Li even only needs to spend 30 yuan a day to hire a group of college students to do part-time jobs during holidays.

Not only do they only need to take care of a work meal, but even some college students' work efficiency is higher than that of Liu Qingqing's group of roommates.

But how should I put it~ These are Liu Qingqing's roommates after all, so they still need some special care.

Although the part-time job is on the public account, Chen Li can't take special care of this, but a big meal is still acceptable.

But to be honest~ If the big meal Chen Li invites is really exchanged for the actual price, the per capita price will be much higher than the 30 yuan part-time job fee.

Fortunately~ With Chen Li's current economic conditions, he doesn't need to care about such a small amount of money.

After going out, Chen Li went to the parking lot of the community, but when he arrived, he was taken aback.

Today, Liu Qingqing and the others were going to work part-time in three branches, so Chen Li left Master Cheng to them.

Originally, Chen Li planned to drive by himself today, but when he got to the car, he found that there was already someone sitting in the driver's seat.

Mu Xiaoqing!
"Huh? Have you completed the resignation procedures?"

Although Chen Li was stunned for a moment, he quickly reacted and asked directly after getting in the car.

"Well~ small companies also have the benefits of small companies, and many procedures don't need to go through so many procedures."

"Boss, where are we going now?"

Mu Xiaoqing nodded, and then started the Cherokee. The size of this car is actually not very friendly to women, but fortunately, Mu Xiaoqing is tall and long-legged, plus she has been in the United States for many years, so she is not very comfortable with this type of car. no stranger.

"The boss's arrangement this morning is to go to hao123 first, and then to Red Pony Technology, both in Zhongguancun!"

Zhang Ruolan in the co-pilot seat is now the person who knows Chen Li's itinerary best. Every night, Zhang Ruolan will communicate with Chen Li about the next day's itinerary in advance, and make other arrangements if there is an emergency.

At first, Chen Li was not used to the feeling of being arranged by others, but after getting used to it a little, he felt that this method was quite efficient.

At the very least~ Chen Li will not ignore some original arrangements because he is too concerned about a certain matter or is too attractive.

"hao123?"

"I know this website, Boss, are you interested in this website?"

While Mu Xiaoqing manipulated the car skillfully, he chatted casually.

It can be seen that this professional woman, after finding an opportunity to return to the financial industry, seems to be much more cheerful and talkative than before.

"hao123 actually"

Zhang Ruolan on the side seemed ready to explain to Mu Xiaoqing, but stopped after Chen Li patted the back of her passenger seat.

"Forget it, Ms. Mu, let's call you Manager Mu!"

"Since you know hao123, what do you think of this website?"

Chen Li was very satisfied with the fact that Assistant Zhang understood his intentions in an instant. It could be seen that the other party was able to be kept by Zhou Bowen's side as a secretary for more than ten years.

"Hao123?"

"This is a very good website. The founding page of my computer is also hao123, which is more convenient to use."

"But if you are asking about the investment value of this website, BOSS, I personally am not very optimistic about it."

"Although the website hao123 is very useful, such a website is too uncompetitive."

Zhang Ruolan on the side hesitated to speak, but in the end she gave up the idea of ​​reminding her friend.

She knew that hao123 was owned by her boss, and Mu Xiaoqing's comments might cause her boss' dissatisfaction.

But ~she can help Mu Xiaoqing once~ but it is impossible to help him all the time. Whether Mu Xiaoqing can seize this opportunity depends on her personal ability after all, so she chose to shut up in the end.

But after all, Zhang Ruolan has not been Chen Li's assistant for a long time, so she doesn't know Chen Li well.

From Chen Li's point of view, Mu Xiaoqing really deserves to be a top student in the business school, and her years of experience in the capital market allowed her to accurately identify the biggest shortcoming of hao123.

Yes, the problem Mu Xiaoqing mentioned is precisely the biggest flaw of the hao123 website.

Not very competitive!
In terms of traffic alone~hao123 is currently ranked among the top among many Internet companies in China.

Even in terms of profitability, hao123 is currently one of the few Internet companies in China that has achieved "positive" profitability.

You know~ the vast majority of Internet companies in China are basically still in the process of burning money these days.

But even so, the shortcomings of hao123 are still very obvious.

No competitiveness means no future!

But perhaps it is precisely because of this that those savvy businessmen have turned their attention away from the category of website navigation.

Otherwise, if there are a few slightly stronger competitors in the future of hao123, I am afraid that it is impossible for the founder of the website to succeed in his previous life.

As for the present~ Although because of Chen Li's appearance, hao123 has achieved more impressive results than in the previous life, which also caused hao123 to have some rivals to compete and imitate in advance.

However, in general, hao123 is still the well-deserved NO.1 in the field of website navigation.

But the problem still has to go back to the origin. Navigation sites like hao123 have no future from an investment point of view.

"If you were the CEO of this website, in this position, how would you make this website more competitive?"

Chen Li continued to ask, but this time...he didn't get the answer he wanted.

"BOSS~ I'm very sorry, my understanding of the operation of the Internet is relatively limited."

"But~ if you look at it from the perspective of an investor."

"A simple hao123 actually does not have the conditions for long-term investment."

"My opinion on this website is that it can cooperate with some large Internet companies, and even sell this company at a suitable price."

"Actually, the best way is to use this website as capital, and then invest in some more promising Internet companies."

"Perhaps this~ can maximize the benefits."

Not to mention, Mu Xiaoqing's work experience in the investment bank in the past few years is really not for nothing. She seems to say it casually. She even said that the fate of hao123 in her previous life is almost inseparable.

In the previous life, hao123 had to accept the fate of being acquired after encountering a bottleneck period.

Later, many people said that hao123 sold at a loss at that time, but in fact hao123 was already facing a very embarrassing situation at that time.

Especially after the rise of 3721 and Qiandu, people's dependence on website navigation has become lower and lower.

In the past, people could find the website they want to browse at the fastest speed through website navigation, but after the rise of Qiandu and 3721, people only need to search a few Chinese characters to find the type of website they want to browse.

There may even be more and even better options!

So~ the founder of hao123 is actually very smart, he knows very well that hao123 is actually very difficult to rise to any height.

At least the hao123 in his hands is like this.

Instead of waiting until the end of the road to sell, it is better to choose to sell for a good price at the peak.

The founder in the previous life chose to do this, and at this moment Mu Xiaoqing actually gave such a suggestion directly. I have to say, perhaps such a choice is also a correct route.

From this it can be seen that this Mu Xiaoqing still has a good eye for investing.

It's a pity that, as she said, she is still very capable in the capital market, but she doesn't know the specific operation of the Internet.

At present, Chen Li handed over the operation of hao123 to Song Xiaolan. Although Song Xiaolan did a good job and Chen Li trusted her, her work ability and work experience were still a bit lacking.

That is to say, the current hao123 does not carry out too much business, so Song Xiaolan can barely use it.

As for the future, let's talk about it later!
"Ok!"

"There is indeed some truth in what you said!"

"That's right~ Now that your work procedures have been completed."

"Then you can start the preliminary preparations!"

"It just so happens that you have worked in investment banks and securities companies before, and I think you should also have contacts in this area."

"I need you to conduct a survey on American technology stocks~"

"The results of your investigation will affect the direction in which we enter the capital market."

"I hope you understand the importance of this!"

Chen Li gave up and continued to chat with Mu Xiaoqing about hao123. Although Mu Xiaoqing was not very optimistic about hao123, it didn't mean that there was something wrong with the other party's vision.

In fact~ on the website hao123, countless smart people have gone astray.

In other words, they didn't miss it, it's just that almost all the smart people thought of going together.

hao123 does not have much competition, but what if there is no one to compete?
It is precisely because everyone thinks that website navigation has no future, so hao123 in the previous life will be able to ride the dust under the condition of no competitors~!
Although hao123 still failed to escape the fate of being sold in the end, hao123 at that time was actually considered a success.

Now that hao123 is in Chen Li's hands, he actually has a better understanding of the prospects of this website.

So from the very beginning, Chen Li knew that hao123 would be sold sooner or later, but he just needed to get hao123 to sell at a better price.

"Okay ~ BOSS!"

"By the way~ Boss, may I ask, how much capital will we prepare for entering the capital market this time?"

Just at the traffic light, Mu Xiaoqing stroked her hair and asked a seemingly random question, but in fact, she was very concerned about this question in her heart.

"Oh~ You were not on duty before, so I didn't tell you about it."

"This time I entered the capital market, and I raised about 500 million yuan."

"Although it's a little bit less~ there's nothing wrong with it in the capital market, but take your time!"

"This money can be regarded as going in to test the waters. After the economic situation improves ~ you can add more funds one after another."

Chen Li replied a little casually, mainly because his attention was attracted by the snowflakes constantly falling outside the car window.

When he went out for a run in the morning, although the sky was a little dark, it looked like it should be a good day today.

But in the blink of an eye, the sky not only became dark, but even snowflakes began to fall.

"Eleven million?"

"This amount of money is indeed not much in the capital market, and if we want to enter the capital market of the United States, we have to convert this amount into US dollars, which may take some time."

After listening to Chen Li's answer, Mu Xiaoqing was somewhat disappointed.

Fifteen million converted into US dollars is even less than 500 million.

This amount of money is indeed not small for ordinary people, but for her who has many years of experience in investment banks and securities companies, such an amount is too small.

"Oh~ I may not have made it clear, the 500 million~ are all US dollars, and the money should be transferred to the HSBC account soon."

"I'll go~ This snow doesn't look too small!"

"I remember yesterday's weather forecast said that it seemed to be light rain today. The weather forecast in Yanjing is not accurate either!"

Chen Li replied casually, and recalled the weather forecast he saw last night, and couldn't help feeling that no matter what era the weather forecast was, it seemed really inaccurate.

But~ at this moment, no one in the carriage answered Chen Li's words.

After a while~ Mu Xiaoqing's voice rang out in the carriage!

"Okay ~ BOSS!"

"Thank you for your trust, I will definitely come up with an accurate investigation report!"
