The richest man starts from the treasure hunt in the container

Chapter 420
According to the information given by Robert, Zhu Yu didn't immediately invest in it. He asked Lawrence to take out a rough version of the Chinese version of the "Second You" software for a try.

Robert promised that it would only take a day to get this done.

Zhu Yu just waited quietly.

After taking away the gold and silver, Zhu Yu seemed to have lost interest in going into the sea.

Even if I just want to eat seafood, I just go to the ice cabin to take out the seafood I bought in advance.

Or stop the passing fishing boats and buy some fresh seafood to eat.

These days he is lazy, basically he just doesn't want to move.

The next day, Robert sent an email to his mailbox as promised.

Zhu Yu downloaded the email and installed the 'Second You' program.

The cover of the program is the back view of a plump woman with big breasts and big buttocks, just like the animated version of Kamou, and she looks back.

Zhu Yu couldn't help complaining about Lawrence's aesthetics, why?

If this software is easy to use, this cover must be replaced!
Isn't AI painting beauties popular now?At least draw an image that conforms to the aesthetics of Chinese people.

This stuff is too heavy to appreciate.

Installed while complaining, and then clicked in.

Sure enough, it is a pure Chinese interface.

And it's not the machine-translated style full of inverted sentences. It's almost the same as the interface of normal Chinese software, and it's a normal official tone.

The novice guide is also very considerate, including drawing, writing, document format input and output, and forms.

In writing alone, there are various genres of writing such as novels, official documents, essays, letters, and scripts.

This immediately aroused Zhu Yu's interest.

Let’s not talk about what is written, at least it looks awesome!
He went to script writing and tried to enter the command "write a story about the adventures of a big boy."

After the command was input, the software did not pop up the content immediately, but some options appeared, such as "Chinese Adventure or Western Adventure", "Boy Race", "Era", "Is the goal for treasure hunting" and so on.

After Zhu Yu finished selecting the content at will, clicked OK, watched the wheel spin five times, and a script was born!
Although Zhu Yu doesn't know how to write scripts, he has read a few old film and television scripts in the university library - "Ballistic Untrace", "Elna Assault" and so on, and he still has a little understanding of the scripts.

The script is really well written.

The first scene gave Zhu Yu a very intuitive sense of the picture!

Not bad, good stuff!

Zhu Yu started to try AI painting again, and found that after selecting keywords, the things drawn were really in line with his imagination.

Unlike some artificial intelligence, it is extremely unfriendly to novices. If it is not professionally trained, the things drawn can be so weird that people doubt life!
"Not bad!" Through Zhu Yu's identification for a long time, he is basically sure that if this "second me" can be put on the software platform, even if it is not advertised, it will be spread by word of mouth, and it will soon become popular!
After all, just like the current barbecue, as long as you do it sincerely, it can really become popular all over the country!

Zhu Yu immediately called Robert:

"Robert, I need the largest share of investment—how many shares can that Lawrence Galen release?"

"I knew you would vote." Zhu Yu's reaction did not meet Robert's expectations, "Lawrence has a very persistent claim on the ownership of this software. So he will only release 49% of the shares. I have already got 15.00% , I also hope to increase some, to [-]%..."

"Then I will cover the remaining 30.00%. How much do I need to pay for these shares?"

Zhu Yu knows that investment is not just about throwing money.

This Lawrence is obviously not a man who is good at management.

He may be a software genius, but he definitely doesn't have the brains of Zack.

Therefore, Zhu Yu feels that some requirements need to be added when investing, such as hiring professional personnel for marketing.

After all, this software cannot be released completely for free - how to make a profit is what he really cares about.

It's not charity!

Fortunately, Robert has the same opinion as Zhu Yu on this point, so the two hit it off.

What Zhu Yu paid was 400 million U.S. dollars—of course, in installments, with the first installment being 100 million U.S. dollars.

Every time you pay, you need to see the changes and progress of Lawrence's company.

Lawrence is not a business talent, and how to plan requires professionals to design.

At this point, Robert said he came to find a professional.

After finalizing the matter, Zhu Yu called Cathy again and entrusted her to sign for him.

Cathy was very surprised to hear that Zhu Yu had completed an investment of 400 million US dollars, but after hearing what Zhu Yu said about the company and the power of the software, Cathy agreed.

That's how the matter was settled.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yu felt relieved.

I feel inexplicably that this is the start of my own business map, and it is a very big step!
In the past, it was all about treasure hunting, selling money, buying some randomly or collecting some manors and farms.

In fact, it's not even a business.

The current investment, which Zhu Yu doesn't seem to be a big investment, is the real first step!
Thinking about myself as an investor—it’s a bit unreal.

According to Robert's suggestion, Zhu Yu called Lawrence.

"You are Mr. Zhu Yu? Hello, hello!"

Lawrence was very excited after Zhu Yu reported himself as his family.

Obviously, although he is very confident in the software he developed, in fact, his self-confidence has been hit a lot because of the departure of the previous investor.

After finding no way to seek investment, and being suppressed by others, Lawrence already felt that he was almost bankrupt.

He even has the idea of ​​developing the software and posting it directly on the Internet, so that people can download it for free.

At this time, Robert first invested a sum of money, and then Zhu Yu invested a large sum—a large sum that he couldn't believe!

Although the first installment was a lot of money, in Lawrence's view, this acknowledgment and trust meant more than money!

So I was a little excited to speak.

"It's me. Mr. Lawrence, this software you made is really great! I think it works very well!"

For real technical talents, Zhu Yu will not be stingy in his praise.

Of course, this was his first investment, and he didn't want it to go in vain. No matter what, he had to make Lawrence more confident.

"Really? Great!"

After hearing Zhu Yu's praise, Lawrence regained some confidence:
"Then Mr. Zhu, is there anything that needs to be improved, or what do you think is insufficient?"

"As a user, I currently think that the Chinese version is pretty good except that the cover does not conform to the aesthetics of Chinese people."

Zhu Yu took the opportunity to raise aesthetic issues.

"That's no problem!" Lawrence thought, it's the Chinese version anyway, change it!

The two sides chatted for a while, and Zhu Yu felt that Lawrence was not the kind of technician who was too lazy to communicate, but was actually quite easy to talk to.

And Lawrence also felt that Zhu Yu was not the kind of capitalist who gave money and would make a bunch of stinky problems and dictate, and he felt very good.

The chat between the two sides ended in an unfinished business.

Zhu Yu put down his hot phone, thinking that this investment should be the right one!

Although it is impossible to bring profits to oneself in a short period of time, as long as there are no accidents in the future, the profits will definitely not be less!
So he was in a very good mood.

The next day, after signing on Zhu Yu's behalf and taking a photo of the document and sending it to Zhu Yu, Cathy brought another piece of news to Zhu Yu.

"There is a joint mining company that is not doing well and is currently on the verge of bankruptcy..."

"Because of bankruptcy?" Zhu Yu asked.

He needs to know the specifics of this company.

"I bought two mines, and the mines that were finally discovered did not meet the mining standards, and they were all lean mines."

"Technical problem?" Zhu Yu was a little disappointed. Can such a mining company want it?

"No, the decision was made by the company's top executives. In fact, the technical staff at the time opposed it, but it was useless..."

Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:

"Is there any specific information? By the way, are there any other companies interested in this company?"

"Yes." Kaicun said, "I will send you the specific information."

Zhu Yu was a little puzzled.

I was just looking for something in the South China Sea and taking a vacation by the way. Why, like a multinational CEO, I still need to handle international affairs on a yacht?

But he still looked at the information sent by Cathy seriously.

This is a mining company called Permafrost, with more than 1000 employees and more than 600 various machines.

The company's headquarters is in the beautiful country, but its business scope covers North and South America. It once had a glorious history, but due to poor management, several development failures, the capital chain has broken, and it is now on the verge of bankruptcy.

At present, the companies interested in acquiring this company are all big companies, such as Newmont Mining, Anglo-American Mining in South Africa, Southern Copper and other companies.

However, these companies currently offer relatively low prices.This permafrost mining industry has a very big advantage, that is, it is very good at mining in some difficult environments, which is more in line with its name.

In other words, the name is more in line with the temperament of the company.

The current valuation of permafrost mining is 1 million US dollars, but it has more than [-] million in debt.

And there are still a large number of employee salaries that have not been paid.

So it's really not far from bankruptcy.

The company's top executives had been seeking loans before, but the bank's evaluation of this poorly managed company was very low, so not only would it not lend, but it had been urging repayment.

These big companies were not arrogant at all when bidding, and they did not conform to the temperament of world-class big mining companies at all. Under the condition of not being responsible for debts, the highest bid was [-] million US dollars, and they were not responsible for the wages owed to employees.

In Zhu Yu's opinion, this bid was indeed a bit low.

Zhu Yu thought he had a conscience.

If he decides to buy this mining company, he can get [-] million and ask the other party to pay off the debt.

Of course, whether you can buy it or not depends on the specific situation.

So Zhu Yu called Robert again, told him about the permafrost mining company, and asked Robert to ask for more detailed information.

Of course, money has to be paid. Zhu Yu hopes to understand the real reason why the company has turned from profit to debt, and whether it is worth buying.

"Zhu, are you planning to change careers?" Robert felt that he was not only Zhu Yu's collaborator, but also friends, so he asked:

"Or have you found another massive treasure and made a fortune?"

Zhu Yu is a treasure hunter, looking for treasures all over the world, Robert knows this.

Zhu Yu made a fortune, and Robert knew this.

The net worth should be at least hundreds of millions of dollars, this is Robert's position for Zhu Yu.

But now he has only invested tens of millions, and plans to spend more than 1 million to acquire a company.

Think about how many manors, farms, and villas Zhu Yu still owns...

Could it be that my prediction of Zhu Yu was wrong?

Robert felt that he needed to reevaluate Zhu Yu.

"I sold several manors." Zhu Yu said, "The rate of return on the farms is too low. I need a property with a higher rate of return."

This reason is still valid.

"Okay, the information on this mining company is relatively easy to collect, ten thousand dollars."

Zhu Yu paid the money, and then waited for news.

In fact, as long as the company is not too bad, he plans to buy it.

Originally, he hoped to start a company in China.

But domestic companies are more likely to have troubles going to Outer Mongolia - after all, some people don't want to see this.

Moreover, Chinese people usually have the habit of not causing trouble outside if they can.

It's not Zhu Yu's character to tolerate things easily.

Some Chinese people can be placed in the permafrost company, and it will be easier to manage or deal with some troublesome affairs in the future.

Of course, the premise is that the company is not a pit.

While waiting, Zhu Yu's satellite phone rang.

He had a hunch and excitedly picked up the phone.

Ran Jie's voice came from over there:

"Boss, we expect to arrive at the target area tonight..."

"I see! I'll be ready to wait!"

When Ran Jie hung up the phone, Zhu Yu immediately started the yacht and drove towards the predetermined sea area.

Finally there is news about them!
In fact, these two days, Zhu Yu still had some regrets.

He could have posted a bounty on the dark web.

Although there will be losses in that way, at least the people around you are safe.

But this time when they went out to deal with Charles, Ran Jie and the others insisted on going in person, and Zhu Yu didn't stop him.

Always give them a chance to vent and show their talents.

Now that there was finally news, Zhu Yu felt relieved.

When it was getting dark, Zhu Yu came to the dividing line.

Waiting here until it was completely dark before Zhu Yu drove the yacht and sneaked to the edge of the coastline.

Then he waved the flashlight at the shore.

Soon, he saw two people crawling up from the hidden bunker.

two?

Zhu Yu was taken aback!
Then he saw one of them pick up a person from the sandpit and run quickly into the sea!

Zhu Yu suddenly became worried!
Something happened to someone—who was it?
Are you injured or...

He hardly dared to think about it.

At this moment, Zhu Yu regretted extremely, Ran Jie and the others took the initiative to ask Ying to take care of Charles earlier, why didn't he stop him?
