Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 646 2000 Year-End Summary
After returning to Yanjing, Chen Li quickly made a summary of his own work this year.

In fact, the so-called summary~ is the year-end cake distribution.

After all, everyone worked hard for a year and earned Chen Li a year's worth of money. Naturally, Chen Li, the boss, couldn't be stingy.

Not only was he not stingy, but in fact~ Chen Li had a lot of blood for the year-end dividend this time.

Not to mention the bonuses he gave out, just the shares he gave out are a huge fortune.

Yes~ Just this year, Chen Li, the brave, is finally willing to give up some of his shares.

Chen Li sold 5%~5%~20% of the shares in ideal agricultural products~ideal food and ideal beer respectively.

The assignees were Ren Xiaobo, Su Mei, and Deng Weimin. The reason why Deng Weimin got 20% of the shares was because Chen Li had promised the other party when he first poached the other party.

And to be honest, Chen Li's support for Ideal Beer is the least. Now that Ideal Beer has gained a firm foothold in the industry, it can basically be said that it is almost entirely due to Deng Weimin.

So he gets the most shares, while others get less.

Ren Xiaobo took the least amount, because he only had the 5% given by Chen Li, and Su Mei had 2.5% of the shares before.

In fact, Su Mei still had 4% earlier, and then Chen Li continued to inject capital into Ideal Foods, causing her and Zhou Xiaoli's shares to be reduced to 2.5%.

And this time, 5% of Sumei's shares have exceeded 7%.

But~ don't underestimate these shares, even Ren Xiaobo, who has the fewest shares, is worth a lot of money with the 5% shares in his hand.

And the most valuable is not Deng Weimin's 20% ideal beer shares, but Sumei's more than 7% ideal food shares.

You must know that Ideal Foods today is a serious and large enterprise worth hundreds of millions. The conservative valuation of Ideal Foods by the outside world is above 5000 million US dollars.

It's a pity that Ideal Food's capital chain is so good that it doesn't need external capital injection at all, so the valuation of Ideal Food is actually meaningless.

Of course ~ valuation is meaningless, but profits are real.

Throughout the year 2000, the scale of Ideal Foods has grown at an alarmingly rapid pace compared to last year.

The first is the traditional fried chicken restaurant of Ideal Food. At present, the ideal fried chicken branch of Ideal Food has expanded to 642 branches.

It is worth mentioning that these 642 branches are all directly-operated stores independently operated by Ideal Foods, not franchise stores.

The other is the Xinhua-style fast food under Ideal Foods, which has opened as many as 28 restaurants.

You must know that this kind of fast food restaurant is not the same as a fried chicken restaurant. The investment amount and operation mode alone are not comparable to fried chicken restaurants.

Of course~ In addition, there are several food processing factories under Ideal Foods, and the ideal pickled pepper chicken feet and various cooked food products produced by Ideal Foods have also been highly praised by the market.

And in the whole year of 2000 ~ Ideal Food's net profit was as high as 1.47 million!
Pay attention~ the net profit is as high as 1.47 million, of course. The money is actually not much left, because most of it has been invested in the sustainable development of ideal food.

Of course ~ Even so, Chen Li did not forget the interests of shareholders after paying a bonus to his employees.

There are actually only three shareholders of Ideal Foods, Chen Li~Su Mei and Zhou Xiaoli.

So this time, Chen Li just waved his hand, and there was another shareholder dividend!
Well~ In fact, the so-called shareholder dividends are mainly to take care of Zhou Xiaoli, who is not in such a good economic condition.

Zhou Xiaoli is now in Germany, and she took her mother there again.

In fact, Zhou Xiaoli's financial conditions are not bad, after all, Zhou Xiaoli still has a few faces in Yanjing under her name!

These facades are currently being handled by Chen Li, and they will actually make a lot of money in a year.

At the beginning, Zhou Xiaoli planned to sell the shop directly to Chen Li, mainly because her mother's health was not good and she needed high medical expenses every month.

After Zhou's family went bankrupt ~ Zhou Xiaoli and her mother went to Germany to raise funds, not only the appearance ~ almost even wanted to sell the shares of Ideal Fried Chicken.

Later, it was Chen Li who persuaded the other party, and then directly paid a dividend, and borrowed a sum of money to Zhou Xiaoli in his own name.

So ~ those few facades and shares are still under Zhou Xiaoli's name.

But what to say!Zhou Xiaoli is still a college student now, although I heard that this girl is working part-time there, but her mother's health needs a lot of money.

In addition~Because of the long-term living habits and her mother's physical problems, it is basically difficult for Zhou Xiaoli's expenses to be reduced quickly.

So all along, Zhou Xiaoli's nerves were tense.

Although the ideal fried chicken dividend last year was not small, Zhou Xiaoli always felt that the so-called dividend was almost equivalent to Chen Li giving her money, so Zhou Xiaoli has never been very familiar with the development of ideal fried chicken.

But this year is different. As a shareholder ~ Zhou Xiaoli will receive relevant data from the company's wealth every quarter, so she has a deep understanding of ideal fried chicken, which is now ideal food.

Uh~ okay!In fact, the main reason is that the former Miss Zhou didn't pay much attention to this information at all. After all, for her at that time, the ideal fried chicken was actually just about earning some pocket money.

It's just that she never thought that the idea of ​​earning some pocket money for the sake of saving face at the beginning has now become her life-saving straw.

The dividend last year was indeed facilitated for Zhou Xiaoli, because according to the original idea, Ideal Fried Chicken did not plan to distribute dividends in the first three years.

But it turned out that not only was the dividend paid last year, but this year's dividend was also paid out as promised.

Although the money was not much, it was still enough for Zhou Xiaoli and her mother's expenses in Germany.

As for Zhou Xiaoli's father, who earned a commission when he helped Chen Li buy an office building, and now it is said that he has founded an Internet company, but Chen Li doesn't know the specifics very well!

Uh~ Well, in fact, Chen Li doesn't like Zhou Bowen's so-called literature website at all, and he doesn't even agree with Zhou Bowen's idea of ​​developing the Internet.

In fact, he understands Zhou Bowen's thoughts very well. The Internet is now a popular industry, and the investment is much less than that of the real estate industry.

So to put it bluntly, Zhou Bowen wants to make a big fortune with his small, and plan to make a comeback with the help of the Internet.

And the website he chose is also very interesting. Literary websites are actually not uncommon in the early Internet industry in China.

At present, the most famous literary website in China is under the famous banyan tree.

But even this well-known domestic literature website ended up being bought and sold because of huge financial problems.

It’s not even under the banyan tree. In fact, many literary websites have appeared in China at this stage, but basically none of them are operating in a good condition.

Of course~ Chen Li is very clear that the biggest reason why Zhou Bowen chose to invest in literature websites is that the investment is small and the money burned is small!
After all, although the Internet industry is a popular industry, it is also famous for burning a lot of money in this industry.

At any rate, the real estate side can use the bank to make a big move, but the Internet is burning real money.

But the literature website is different~ the investment is small, and the money is actually not burned quickly. Once you have a good reputation in the industry, you may stick to it when you raise money or something.

Speaking of it~ Zhou Bowen wants to invest in a literature website, and he has something to do with Chen Li.

Because when chatting with Chen Li before, Chen Li told him with certainty that the future prospects of literature websites are unlimited.

It was just chatting at the time, but Zhou Bowen really listened to it, but what Zhou Bowen didn't know was that the future prospect of the literature website is indeed very attractive, but there is still a question of time!
In the previous life~ To put it bluntly, before the capital of Shengda Network entered the market, the development of domestic literature websites was actually not smooth.

It is precisely because of the large amount of funds from Shengda Network that it directly drives the rapid development of the entire network literature circle.

To put it bluntly~ Shengda Network at that time was like a shark entering a small school of fish. If you didn’t want to be eaten by this shark, you could only swim forward desperately.

Of course ~ simple swimming can't save yourself, so those small fish have to ask for help from other large fish.

So ~ such as whale sharks ~ killer whales ~ and even the big blue whale that finally appeared have all come to an end.

Of course~ now that big blue whale has been lost by Chen Li, as for who will be that blue whale in the future, it's hard to say!
Anyway, that's the thing, Zhou Bowen didn't choose the wrong industry, but the wrong time.

Especially when he entered the market in the second half of 2000, at this time, the impact of the Internet bubble crisis was still exerting great power.

Zhou Bowen thought that at this time, the so-called bubble crisis should be almost over, so this guy directly entered the venue with the commission he earned from Chen Li, but he didn't expect that he got himself trapped in it.

It turned out that Zhou Bowen had a good idea, relying on the commission he earned from Chen Li, to support a literary website to become a top player in the industry.

Then financing ~ finally. Cash out!

This is Zhou Bowen's idea, very simple and straightforward!

It's just that there was a problem with this idea from the very beginning, because when he spent the 150 million he earned from Chen Li, he found that not only did the literature website fail to become the top in the industry, even some forums Can't do it.

Uh~ Well, I'm talking about the Dianping.com website under Chen Li's banner.

Yes ~ Dianping.com has also launched its own literature channel, and because of the large user base, the literature channel under Dianping.com is even extremely lively.

And because of the traffic of Dianping.com, its literature channel is developing much better than Zhou Bowen's literature website.

So. Zhou Bowen looks a bit decadent today!

A comeback is definitely what a person looks forward to most after falling into a trough.

But the problem is that if it's really that easy to make a comeback, this thing is actually not so exciting.

The difficulty of making a comeback~ In fact, it is not easier than starting from scratch, especially when Zhou Bowen himself is still carrying a lot of debt.

Zhou Bowen actually came to look for Chen Li. After all, in his opinion, although Chen Li was young, he was much more slick on the Internet than he, an old fellow.

It's just that Chen Li directly rejected Zhou Bowen's proposal, because the time was really wrong.

Let’s put it bluntly~ Literature websites at this stage can basically barely survive.

It's not that literature websites have no future, but that there is no market!

Many people think that literature is pure~should not involve the infestation of stinky things, but in fact, literature may be pure, but the spread of literature is absolutely impossible to be pure.

From early newspaper literature~magazine literature~published literature~ to later network literature and so on.

Leaving aside the economic benefits involved, it is almost impossible to escape the connection between these models and the so-called money-smelling things.

Newspapers want to be printed, do they need money?

If a magazine wants to be published, does it need money?

Do novel articles need money if they want to be published?

Expect people to work for you for free, and even pay you?Where in the world is there such a good thing?

The same is true of today's online literature. Although authors can generate electricity for love, they cannot persist in generating electricity for love forever.

And it is even more impossible for the operator of the website to play what generates electricity for love!
So ~ interest is the most fundamental!
Of course, this interest does not necessarily refer to economic interests, but may also include fame~popularity~status and wealth, etc.

As the operator of the website, the current literature websites can bring them very limited benefits.

Maybe one day Chen Li will enter this industry, but definitely not during this time period.

Hmm~ Well, in fact, Chen Li has already entered this industry indirectly.

After all~ he is the largest individual shareholder of Shengtong Network!

Don't look at Chen Qiao holding 51% of the shares, but his shares don't belong to him alone, while Chen Li's 49% is all his own.

Therefore, once the "Hot Blood Legend" represented by Shengtong Network is officially charged, Chen Li can make a lot of money again.

Yes ~ "Legend of Hot Blood" will start charging mode after the Spring Festival.

Speaking of which~ Chen Qiao is quite a ghost, after all, as a Chinese, he naturally knows when Chinese~ especially young people have the most money in their pockets.

So~ this guy directly specified a plan, intending to launch the biggest killing move of this game in the early Spring Festival.

"Siege of Sabac"!
The monster siege event held in the previous game directly brought the popularity of this game to a peak, and this time the siege of Sabac is estimated to raise the popularity of this game to another level.

Then "Legend of Blood" will officially start charging.

It just so happened that after the Spring Festival, which player didn't have some lucky money, red envelopes and the like?

At that time, you won’t have to worry about selling out the cards!

Of course~ Although Chen Qiao is optimistic about the prospect of "Legend of Hot Blood", this buddy is not as courageous as imagined.

This point is completely different from the even a little arrogant Chen Qiao in his previous life.

But this is also normal. Chen Qiao's arrogance in his previous life was based on the fact that "Legend of Blood" had already achieved great success, and at that time, Shengda Network had become the leading player in the domestic online game circle.

But in the current Shengtong Network, not to mention that there is still a Chen Li pressing him down, even if there is no Chen Li, "Legend of Hot Blood" has not really passed the market test at this moment, so naturally he cannot become crazy.

But all this can't wait long.

As for Chen Li~ this Spring Festival, he is a bit busy, so busy that he can't pay attention to the official operation of "Legend of Hot Blood".

Because~ he plans to go to Nasdaq!
