Rebirth starts with small money

"I am a person who accepts as soon as I see it!"

In the VIP room of a certain foreign-funded bank, Chen Li looked at Mu Xiaoqing opposite and said with a smile.

In all fairness~ Mu Xiaoqing does have two brushes in his professional skills book.

Different from some TV programs in China that are still advocating the prosperity of the Internet in the United States, as a professional~Mu Xiaoqing has actually discovered the fact that the Internet bubble is about to burst.

And~ Mu Xiaoqing's suggestion to Chen Li was actually not unreasonable.

Mu Xiaoqing has actually considered whether the time of the Internet bubble may be delayed~ or the American government will come forward to cover the situation after the bubble bursts, etc.

But what to say!Sometimes, some things~ Even if you know what the result will be, no one can accurately predict the detailed process of how things will develop.

This also leads to a situation~!

Even Chen Li and Mu Xiaoqing knew that the Internet bubble would burst~ but they couldn't make an accurate prediction about the time and extent of the bubble burst.

In fact, it stands to reason~ as a reborn person, Chen Li should be the one who knows best.

But it's a pity~ In his previous life, Chen Li didn't pay much attention to finance and financial information, so he only knew that the Internet bubble would burst in 2000, but he really didn't know the exact time and data.

Not to mention the Internet bubble~ Chen Li even knew that a global financial crisis triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis would occur in a few years, but if you ask Chen Li for the exact time and data, then he doesn't know.

The reason is very simple~ He has not participated in these things at all, so naturally he doesn't care~ I don't understand!
Relatively speaking, what is quite different is that although Chen Li couldn't remember the exact time of the bull market more than ten years later, Chen Li still remembered the information on one or two stocks that soared in that bull market.

After all~ at that time, Chen Li originally wanted to participate, so he knew about it.

It's just that, after all, it happened more than ten years later, and it didn't make much sense to Chen Li in 2000.

As for Chen Li in 2000, the reason why he wanted to get into the Internet winter crisis to make money was not to become a financial tycoon.

The reason why he chose to enter the capital market at this time~ The ultimate goal is just to obtain enough funds for the development of the various industries under his name in the next few years.

Today~ the property under Chen Li's name is neither too much nor too little.

Ideal Fried Chicken is completely self-sufficient at present, but in Chen Li's opinion ~ the current development speed of Ideal Fried Chicken is still a bit slow.

Of course~ this mainly has a lot to do with Chen Li's development philosophy.

If Chen Li adopts the same development strategy as those chain companies in his previous life ~ what attracts investment ~ joins ~ or even introduces venture capital, etc., then the development speed of Ideal Fried Chicken will definitely skyrocket several times.

But that's also the case. The ideal fried chicken produced in the end may not be the ideal fried chicken that Chen Li imagined.

Therefore, Chen Li would rather choose to be slower than to bury any hidden dangers for Ideal Fried Chicken.

And ~ in the next one to two years, Ideal Fried Chicken will gradually expand into a new track, that is, it will gradually develop from a simple ideal fried chicken to an ideal fast food restaurant.

In fact, from the very beginning, the ideal fried chicken restaurant that Chen Lixiang wanted was a fast-food restaurant that combined Chinese and Western styles similar to the rural base in his previous life.

But at that time, Chen Li had no money on hand, so naturally he couldn't do it overnight, so he could only do it slowly.

And ~ from the beginning to the end, Chen Li was unwilling to accept the way of franchising, because he knew very well that he could control the quality of his own store in a direct-operated store, but if it was a franchising, he had no way of guaranteeing it.

Chen Li has seen many fast food chains in his previous life, and most of these fast food have the same problem, that is, the quality of the brand is mixed due to poor management.

This is also the reason why stores of the same brand, even in the same city, have polarized reputation in the end.

In particular, some chain brands don't even have so-called management at all. They just want to make money quickly by relying on the reputation established by the rapid development of the brand before.

So in the previous life~ but the chain brands that were growing rapidly and attracting investment to join in did not seem to end well!
Only a very small number of chain brands that focus on brand value will work hard on management, which also increases the survival time of the corporate brand itself.

Of course~ Chen Li dare not say that if he does this, the ideal fried chicken will not have quality problems in the future. No one can guarantee this kind of thing.

It's like the ideal fried chicken now~ When the plate is not big enough, there will also be management and quality problems.

But Chen Li will try his best to improve and protect the value of the ideal fried chicken brand, and this is what he needs to consider.

And it is different from other chain brands~ Chen Li's biggest hole card is actually the guarantee from Shennong Food.

At the very least ~ Shennong Foods, the supplier itself, should not have any problems.

Chen Li can even monitor the supply data of Shennong Foods to each store of Ideal Fried Chicken through the system Xiaomeng, which can greatly prevent the store managers from changing the supply ingredients without authorization.

Regarding this point, Chen Li only found out after the incident where the store manager replaced cheap ingredients without permission.

With this guarantee, Chen Li is confident that the food safety of Ideal Fried Chicken will reach the top level in the industry.

But. To protect these, Chen Li must first ensure that he refuses the so-called joining as much as possible~ he doesn't even want to find any venture capital.

Only if he himself has the absolute right to speak, can he prevent the erosion of ideal fried chicken by those who only know how to make money.

As for Chen Li himself, he didn't care.Even for him ~ ideal fried chicken is OK as long as it doesn't lose money.

After all~ In terms of the efficiency of making money alone, the industry is far behind the Internet and the capital market.

The risk in the capital market is too great~ Chen Li is a bit cautious.

But Chen Li is very familiar with the Internet.

Regardless of the fact that Ideal Fried Chicken has nearly 200 employees and more than [-] shops~ but in fact, the profits made by these shops for Chen Li in a year are far less than his share in Red Pony Technology.

So~ With such a goal in mind, Chen Li has full confidence in making Ideal Fried Chicken bigger and stronger.

Of course, if you want to make Ideal Fried Chicken bigger and stronger, you must have enough capital.

Especially when Ideal Fried Chicken is now in an asset-heavy model, so Chen Ideal wants to let Ideal Fried Chicken have wings, so he has to invest money in it.

The same~ There are other industries under Chen Li's name, although he knows that as long as he continues to do so, these industries will definitely bring him enough benefits in the future.

However, if he wanted to accelerate the development of these industries, Chen Li had to invest a lot of money in them.

And this~ is actually the reason why Chen Li insisted on making money in the capital market, which he thought was a huge risk, during this time period.

In Mu Xiaoqing's view, although the bursting of the Internet bubble is mostly impossible to avoid, but wealth and wealth are in danger. At the current stage, while the Internet bubble is still growing, it is important to seek greater benefits in a timely and effective manner. The most reasonable choice to make.

Even if the Internet bubble bursts at that time, she just needs to get out in time. Although there may be certain risks, she is confident that this risk will be reduced to a very low level.

And this risk, compared with the huge benefits that Chen Li is likely to obtain, the two are actually not at the same level at all.

So~ in Mu Xiaoqing's view, very few people can refuse this huge temptation.

However, Chen Li refused!

As he said, he is not a gambler, and he doesn't need to stay at the table knowing that there are unknown risks.

Especially on the premise that the unknown risk this time has something to do with his own little butterfly, Chen Li's vigilance can be said to be very high.

Because he knows very well~ The reason why he chose to enter the capital market at this time is because he knows the general direction of the Internet bubble.

So when Chen Li and Mu Xiaoqing drew up their plans, they planned to withdraw the funds after the Spring Festival.

That's because although Chen Li couldn't remember the exact time when the Internet bubble burst, he vaguely remembered that it didn't burst during the Spring Festival.

It's just that he couldn't remember the specific information, so he had to choose a professional financial person to help him as a reference.

Then he will advance a period of time based on the answer given by this professional financial person, that is, Mu Xiaoqing.

That's right~ Even though Chen Li recognized Mu Xiaoqing's professional skills, he actually didn't trust these so-called financial people.

It's one thing to approve, but it's another thing to convince Chen Li.

Because even financial tycoons like Buffett ~ Soros have also suffered losses in the capital market, not even once or twice.

It's just that~ for financial bigwigs like them, even if they suffer a few losses, it won't hurt their bones at all.

On the contrary, for the vast majority of ordinary people, one failure may be enough to make people regret for a lifetime.

Just like this time~ Chen Li raised more than 1000 million US dollars to enter, if he loses~ even if he has Chen Li's rebirth plus system double BUFF, he still needs to pay for this loss.

At least the short-term development of his various careers will be greatly restricted.

However, he is a double buff player anyway, so he also has the same opportunity as those financial bigwigs to make a comeback.

But what if it is an ordinary person?Like Chen Li, he borrowed money and mortgaged stocks to invest a lot of money. If he fails, the only option is probably to go to see if the wind on the roof is not strong enough.

But even if Chen Li has the confidence to start all over again~ he doesn't want to really go through what all over again.

You know~ Thanks to the continuous rise of Nasdaq and the magic of leverage, the 500 million US dollars that Chen Li invested in the capital market before has accumulated to 20 US dollars in less than 900 days. [-] million dollars.

Before that, Mu Xiaoqing invested another 2000 million US dollars in Microsoft stocks, and the current increase of these stocks exceeded 40%.

If the income from these stocks is included, Chen Li's final income may be close to 4000 million.

Such a high return ~ no wonder so many people are keen on the capital market!
And this is Chen Li's repeated reminder to Mu Xiaoqing to focus on being prudent, otherwise... this benefit may be even more terrifying!
On the third day after Chen Li arrived in Hong Kong Island, Mu Xiaoqing completed the final clearance work.

After deducting all taxes and other expenses, Chen Li's $500 million~ eventually became $430 million.

Here~ Chen Li's gold-fishing behavior before the Internet bubble burst has come to an end.

But ~ the 400 million US dollars does not completely belong to Chen Li, at least ~ Chen Li has not paid Mu Xiaoqing.

Actually~ Mu Xiaoqing's salary is not high!
After all~ Mu Xiaoqing was almost expelled from the financial industry before, so it would be good if she could find a job with Chen Li that would allow her to return to the financial industry. As for the salary, she really didn't have any requirements.

And to be honest~ With the salary in the financial industry, no matter how bad it is, it is much better than her previous job.

What Mu Xiaoqing needs is an opportunity to prove herself~an opportunity to prove that she is qualified to gain a foothold in the financial industry.

Compared with this opportunity itself, the employment relationship between her and Chen Li is not that important.

However, Chen Li is not a stingy person, and this time he invested 500 million US dollars, so he was not stingy, and directly paid Mu Xiaoqing as high as 50 Hong Kong dollars.

Some people may think that a mere 50 Hong Kong dollars is not high at all, okay?

Before Mu Xiaoqing left the financial industry, her annual income reached one million US dollars.

In addition, Mu Xiaoqing helped Chen Li earn tens of millions of dollars in the capital market this time~ Chen Li only gave the other party 50 Hong Kong dollars. Isn't that too stingy?
But in fact~ if Mu Xiaoqing's resume is relatively good, and he has a wealth of relevant work experience, in fact, the salary that Chen Li planned to give at the beginning is only 20~ or even Huaxia coins.

At first~ Chen Li just wanted Zhang Ruolan to help him find an obedient and sensible trader.

To put it bluntly~ At the beginning, Chen Li only planned to find someone who would help him trade in real time, and it didn't matter whether this person was good or not.

At that time, Chen Li even planned to rent a financial bionic person from the system, but after discovering Mu Xiaoqing's ability, Chen Li changed his plan.

And the most important point, the 50 Hong Kong dollars was just Mu Xiaoqing's salary.

The reason for giving such a high salary is naturally Chen Li's recognition of Mu Xiaoqing's work ability.

But this doesn't mean that Mu Xiaoqing has all the benefits, because she still has a bonus.

Yes~ Mu Xiaoqing still has a bonus to get!

It's just that, unlike ordinary private equity funds with very high profit percentages, Chen Li and Mu Xiaoqing didn't get involved in this part of the hiring process.

At that time, Mu Xiaoqing was only looking for an opportunity, and Chen Li would not be so stupid that he insisted on giving money to others when he knew it was an opportunity to make money.

And from the beginning to the end, Mu Xiaoqing was just a trader implementing Chen Li's ideas.

Most of the time~ besides implementing operations according to Chen Li's arrangement, Mu Xiaoqing also provided Chen Li with relevant suggestions.

It's just that after Chen Li confirmed Mu Xiaoqing's ability, he gave Mu Xiaoqing a certain amount of autonomy before the Spring Festival.

To put it bluntly~ Mu Xiaoqing is just a laborer, as for how much bonus she can get, it depends on Chen Li's mood.

Of course, again, Chen Li was never a stingy person.

After seeing the number on his bank account, Chen Li decisively signed a check to Mu Xiaoqing.

After Zhang Ruolan saw the check, her eyes widened involuntarily~ she even stuck out her tongue.

"Xiaoqing~ Your industry is so profitable?"

As for Mu Xiaoqing holding the check, she was also taken aback when she saw the number on it.

Because the amount of this check is
$200 million!
