The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 538 Lily
Once the company goes public and the lock-up period is over, it should be the best time for venture capital funds to exit the market. It's just that Li Weidong knows that these companies have huge room for future development, so he keeps them.

Of course, in a sense, it will disappoint the investment managers who invest in these companies. According to regulations, some bonuses will only be cashed out when the project exits.

Li Weidong has been procrastinating and not quitting, so this part of their bonus has been unable to be cashed out, and he cannot get it in his own hands.

Now because of the sudden leak, it may be a good thing for them. After all, the sooner they get it in their hands, the sooner they can feel at ease.

"Okay, I'll tell Boss Jiang to do it right away!" Zou Yi glanced at his watch. It should be time for work in the morning in San Francisco.

However, Jiang Zongtao should have gone to the company earlier. This incident should have been a big shock to him. With such a big mistake under his management, one can imagine the pressure on him.

"Here are the strategic investment agreements we are going to sign with several companies, please have a look!" Zou Yi saw that Li Weidong had signed, then took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and put them on the table in front of Li Weidong.

"How's the talk going?" Li Weidong picked up a copy and took a rough look and asked.

"We have formally discussed it, and have communicated several times via telephone and fax. Both parties are quite satisfied. In general, a cooperation intention has been reached. If there are no other problems, we can sign it!!"

Li Weidong did not ask for a controlling stake, and even promised to respect the opinions of these major shareholders in principle. Where can such partners be found? It would be strange for them to have opinions.

So the process of the negotiation was very smooth. On behalf of Ruibosi Holdings, Zou Yi came to the capital to visit several important figures. After some communication, the tone was set.

The specific details will be discussed slowly, and the signing of the large strategic framework agreement will not be affected.

"Yes, the future prospects of these major projects are very good, especially this project. After the natural gas pipeline is laid, the hen that lays the golden eggs is just waiting to collect money!"

Li Weidong pointed to the project at hand and Zou Yi looked up at the document and knew that it was the project to bring natural gas from the frontier to the eastern coast.

This is currently the largest investment project in China. It spans ten provinces and cities from east to west, and the distance is four to five thousand kilometers. It takes several hours to fly. The budget for the first phase of investment alone is 1200 billion yuan, and the total investment is nearly 3000 million yuan. [-] million.

The total investment is 3000 billion. In fact, the investment is far from reaching this scale. After all, after the completion of the first phase, huge revenue will be generated every year, so we can continue to invest.

Of course, the investment is huge, and the success is also remarkable. After completion, the annual transport volume of weather is as high as 120 billion cubic meters, which completely solves the problem of gas consumption in several coastal provinces.

The rate of return for this basic project calculation is not high, but this calculation is too conservative in considering the speed of urbanization in China, especially without taking into account the development speed of the "free shipping area".

More than ten years later, this place, which is the size of a palm on the national map, has one-tenth of the country's population, one-fifth of the GDP, and 40.00% of China's top [-] private enterprises are here.

This kind of development speed cannot be calculated by any economist. Even if the pattern is opened up, it is not dared to brag like this!
Although the estimated reported rate of return is only 12%, Li Weidong knows how high the annual income will be after the project is successful, and it will not be a problem to double it.

Buffett, the stock god, is so boasted that his average annual rate of return is only 20.00%, and he has to work hard and take huge risks for this.

And Li Weidong promised this time that in this project, the investment in the first phase will not be less than 200 billion, and the total investment will not be less than 400 billion, and the project will be completed in five or six years.

He doesn't have to do anything, he just needs to find a reliable accounting firm for audit and supervision, which can have at least 20.00% rate of return every year, and the annual cash flow is billions.

This is the way to make money while lying down. Don’t underestimate the ability of these awesome companies to make money. They look unobtrusive and low-key like dust, but they have too much money to spend.

And there are not many such opportunities. In a few years, the economy will improve and the plate will be bigger, but there will be no opportunities for Li Weidong.

But now investment can not only earn excess returns, but can also be regarded by these companies as a timely help.

"We have already communicated with the oil and gas company. Director Zeng proposed that the two companies jointly fund and form a new company to run this project, so that there will be less involvement!"

"It couldn't be better. It's easy to break it down by starting a new stove like this!" Li Weidong nodded and said.

This is not a precedent either. Towngas on Hong Kong Island started doing this a few years ago, and they have done even better, establishing joint gas companies with almost every energy company in the city.

The management is very flexible, even if there is a problem with a certain gas company, there will not be too much turmoil.

Li Weidong read a few more agreements. The funds written on these agreements were very large, and there were words such as "commitment" and "not less than", but the actual binding force was very small, so Li Weidong read it relatively quickly. sketchy.

It's not so much to look at the agreement, but to see what projects are there, which is strange.

There are quite a few projects, most of which are industrial projects with huge investment. Of course, how much these projects are invested now, and how good the future income will be. This is the dividend of development.

"That's it. When the time comes, you can sign according to this contract!" Li Weidong quickly read it, put it on the coffee table and said.

If these projects can be realized, and there are no control moths in the middle, these projects will start to produce output in a few years, and it is estimated that a small goal will be achieved every day.

Such a big event is still in China. Since Li Weidong did not participate, Zou Yi asked in surprise: "Chairman, are you not attending the signing ceremony?"

Li Weidong asked with doubts on his face: "I said that I want to participate in this signing ceremony?"

Zou Yi thought for a while, and it seemed that there was really no one, so he shook his head and said, "No!"

"That's it, it's not appropriate for me to participate in this matter, and you will be responsible for showing your face in the future!" Li Weidong leaned back on the sofa, stretched his body, and said affirmatively.

Zou Yi was a little curious, and guessed the meaning after a little thought, but a good subordinate must want to stimulate the boss's desire to show off, so he asked pretending to be puzzled: "You mean there is a deeper meaning to this matter?"

"When doing business in China, you must improve your position, and you must understand the deep meaning of the leader's words. Did Director Zeng mention me in front of you, and did you mention Xinsheng Holdings?"

Strictly speaking, Ruibosi Holdings should be similar to the VIE agreement structure, but the only investor in this overseas company is Li Weidong. Without a series of agreement constraints, there are no compliance and risk issues.

Although many people know about this, in terms of organizational structure and law, Ruibosi Holdings is an overseas company, and no one will talk about it.

"No, I only mentioned Ruibosi Holdings from the beginning to the end!" Zou Yi thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was true.

"That's enough. What they need now is the inflow of foreign exchange and an overseas company, not a reckless domestic entrepreneur. Do you understand!"

"The chairman really has a good opinion. I have been wondering about it. It seems that I need to learn more in the future and improve my political literacy!" Zou Yi suddenly realized.

"Okay, don't act for me, you sign your name, and I'll go back to my home!" Li Weidong said with a wave of his hand.

These few of his deputies are as smart as monkeys, how could they not see this.

"I'm telling the truth. Since I came to China, I have felt a lot of differences. Many things seem unreasonable, but after thinking about it, I think it should be so, and it has a lot of human touch!"

"Chairman, Mr. Zou, I also feel this way. For example, when the chairman mentioned recruitment just now, I feel different from foreign countries!" Fu Xiaomin also continued.

"These days, we have done a lot of advertisements on TV, newspapers and the Internet, and received a lot of rewards, but when we interviewed, we found out that some of them were college students who had just graduated, or were just dawdling!"

"Except for a few people introduced by others, it is difficult for others to be qualified for positions such as investment assistants and analysts, let alone investment managers or higher-level directors!"

"I think we offer such a high salary, why no one comes? I just realized after you said that. I still ignored that our country is not as direct as foreign countries. The more high-end talents, the more different they are. It's easy to carry!" Fu Xiaomin flattered her.

"Okay, stop, if you keep talking like this, I don't even need to eat dinner!" Li Weidong waved his hand quickly, he was thin-skinned, and he would get nauseous if he listened to too much flattery.

Li Weidong saw that the car lights were still like a dragon outside, but it was not so crowded, so he said: "It's time to get off work at eight o'clock, everyone go back to rest, don't let the flexible working system become 996 in the end!"

"The pressure in the investment circle is already great. Working overtime and staying up late is too unfriendly to hair. It either turns gray or loses hair!" Li Weidong said with a sigh.

He was worried about the hair volume of his male compatriots, but fortunately, his hair was still relatively lush, and he didn't even have a single white hair. As long as one hair grew out, his wife had to pluck it out.

Fu Xiaomin glanced at Zou Yi, said with a smile: "I'll inform them right away, they must get off work before eight o'clock in the future, and I will definitely protect their hair!"

But before Fu Xiaomin gave her orders, there was a knock on the door. The door was made of transparent glass. Li Weidong was sitting on the sofa, turning his head to look straight at Melanie's long legs wrapped in flesh-colored silk stockings and standing in high heels. the door.

Melanie first glanced at Li Weidong and Zou Yi, then looked at Fu Xiaomin and hesitated for a moment, then said in fluent Chinese: "Mr. Fu, Mr. Zhang is here, at the front desk!"

"There are still guests so late?" Li Weidong asked.

Zou Yi also glanced at Fu Xiaomin, meaning to ask who "Boss Zhang" is!
Without waiting for Fu Xiaomin to speak, Li Weidong got up and said, "Okay, go ahead, I was going to invite you to dinner, next time!"

Seeing Li Weidong like this, Fu Xiaomin just wanted to explain a few words, but stopped. If she explained, wouldn't it seem that she wanted to covet Li Weidong's dinner?
In short, Fu Xiaomin was a little embarrassed, and it was wrong to explain, and it was wrong not to explain!

When Li Weidong walked to the door, Melanie was already pulling the door sideways. Li Weidong nodded politely to express his thanks, and took a close look at her at this moment.

Let Li Weidong sigh unceasingly, the Buddha is really fair, he gave these European and American women a perfect figure, and also gave them a skin with large pores, such a beautiful face, how come there are so many freckles!

Chen Jun and Ding Yuan were sitting outside Fu Xiaomin's office. When they saw Li Weidong coming out, they quickly got up to follow. Zou Yi and Fu Xiaomin also came out to see Li Weidong off!

As soon as he got to the front desk, he saw a man holding flowers standing there. Li Weidong was delighted when he saw this man. The "Mr. Zhang" that Melanie said just now turned out to be Mr. Zhang!
Zhang Chaoyang was also a little surprised when he saw Li Weidong. He came up to greet him with flowers, shook hands with Li Weidong and said with a smile, "Hello, Director Li, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"I'll meet you when I meet you. Why do you still want to send me flowers? Or lilies, that's good!" Li Weidong said with a smile, and then glanced sideways at Fu Xiaomin, whose face was already turning red.

"Dong Li, you like Lily too, if you like it, I will give it to you!" Zhang Chaoyang said against his will.

"Then I'll be disrespectful!" Li Weidong made a gesture to answer, watching Zhang Chaoyang's expression change.

"Let's forget it. Flowers are good, but they will last for a hundred years, so it's not appropriate to give them to me. You should give them to whomever you want!" Li Weidong said with a smile, retracting his hand.

Mr. Zhang was obviously relieved by what Li Weidong said, and he also knew that Li Weidong deliberately teased him just now. It was a simple matter, but he almost believed it just now.

Li Weidong didn't want to be a light bulb, so he left after a few pleasantries.

Zou Yi also seemed to feel that others should not be in the way. Seeing Li Weidong leave, he also found a reason to leave.

After Fu Xiaomin sent Li Weidong and Zou Yi away, she turned her head to look at Zhang Chaoyang, her face changed a little, but she was wronged and they were both decent people, so she could only keep smiling.

In front of Li Weidong and Zou Yi, if someone brings a bouquet of flowers to the company, will it leave a bad impression on the boss and the leader, saying that she can't handle her personal affairs well, which will affect the work.

Some time ago, Zhang Chaoyang was a hero who saved the beauty at the venture capital and e-commerce conference, and had a reason to get in touch with Fu Xiaomin. Fu Xiaomin wanted to thank Zhang Chaoyang, and wanted to invite him to dinner, but never had the chance.

I finally made an appointment today, but I never expected that such a thing would happen. When Zou Yi came to the capital, Fu Xiaomin received him, and when Li Weidong came to the company, she wanted to receive him even more. She forgot about it when he was busy.

Now that this happened, she didn't feel wronged, no matter how big she lost, it had nothing to do with Zhang Chaoyang!
Zhang Chaoyang first said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I didn't see you coming down, and I didn't answer the phone, so I went up to take a look. I didn't expect to meet Li Dong!"

Fu Xiaomin had no choice but to say with a slight smile: "Mr. Zhang, I should be the one who said I was sorry. I had some accidents today, so I forgot to let you know in advance to keep you waiting for so long!"
