"Brother Hao...... I thought that when people wanted to buy my mine, I opened an increase of 300 million yuan, but after several rounds of negotiations, the other party was only willing to pay 260 million! When the stalemate was deadlocked, I became anxious and shouted: Even if you give another 300 million yuan in the future, you will not be able to buy my mine! At that time, I just got emotional and talked casually. Who would have thought that two or three years later, it would come true!" This person sat next to Brother Hao, and when he talked about the past, his expression was full of joy, as if he was glad that he had not sold the mine at that time.

It is true that at that time, along with the rise in coal prices, black coal kilns were blooming everywhere, and mining disasters also occurred frequently. At that time, the coal capital continued to enact measures to shut down illegal coal mines and raise the bar for mining. As a result, supply outstripped demand and coal prices rose further. In this cycle after round, after a few years, Brother Hao found it difficult to describe the madness and restlessness at that time in words.

Stocks, futures, foreign exchange, and gold fluctuate once every fifteen seconds!

When the price of coal fluctuates to an hourly scale, that kind of madness is incomparable to the financial market!

The price is not the same for the first hour and the next hour. It's enough to grab an extra piece of the pie in this carnival feast of wealth.

"Brother Hao, I was so busy organizing various drinking bureaus to dredge up relationships. At that time, it cost 80,000 or 90,000 yuan to set up a table of banquets alone. I've hated this since I was young, and I thought it was all insincere things to say between cups and cups. But I think it's ridiculous, but I still have to work the other. Everyone in the industry is like this, and if you don't do it, you will get out. That's what the social climate was like at that time. What if you say you can, what if you don't go with the flow?

Brother Hao nodded slightly, looked at the situation outside the window and sighed: "In the craziest period, the numbers on my bank account jumped up at a rate of millions every day, and the income in half a year exceeded the sum of the previous ten years. Although I paid off all my debts at once, I began to lose sleep, and the sudden change of fate made me feel terrified, feeling like a small boat in the sea, fluttering, and being thrown high by the waves in an instant. When the tide will reced, and where it will throw itself, I don't know what to do!"

After saying this, Brother Hao turned his head to look at the person next to him, and said with a bitter smile: "What about now? With money in his hand, he is thinking about how to make the funds move." It's a really uncomfortable feeling of this kind of drop. Then Li Yan came over to say that the backdoor listing operation project or something, in fact, I was quite interested. I just listened to what he said about the benefits, and I didn't have much interest. ”

"Brother Hao, isn't the shock of fate more violent than we imagined? When the price of coal is growing rapidly, extortion, suicide, transfer, and escape are not yet one after another. Compared to the time when I couldn't help myself. It's so much more grounded now!"

In fact, the coal boss was born and died because of the tide of the times. After the vigorous coal restructuring, the coal boss as a group concept no longer exists. But life as individuals continues, and the coal bosses have huge wealth in their hands and begin to enter the second half of their lives.

Li Yan frowned and sighed, sat opposite Wu Zhilin, picked up the teacup and poured a sip of tea.

"Sent Bi Peilin away?" Wu Zhilin played with the tea cup in his hand, lowered his head and sniffed the taste in the cup gently, then looked up at Li Yan and asked.

The scalp was slightly numb, Li Yan glanced at Wu Zhilin and muttered in a low voice, "Why do I feel a little sour?"

Wu Zhilin paused for a moment, and didn't seem to hear what Li Yan was saying clearly. Frowning at the taste: "What did you just say?"

"Nothing, nothing!" Li Yan dared to admit it, and then quickly changed the subject: "I went to a golf club today. ”

"You and Bi Peilin?" Wu Zhilin put the tea cup in his hand on the table with some curiosity, and his crisp voice was like a chime.

Li Yan looked at Wu Zhilin, and said with a wry smile: "It's over, and I met the former coal boss." You can feel that they have money in their hands, and you can also feel that they want to invest. But after I went, it didn't work very well, and the vigilance was obvious!"

Wu Zhilin heard this, nodded slightly and said: "So that's the case, I have also been in contact with these coal bosses, and some people said goodbye to the coal business one step earlier, and also started to try to transform one step earlier." Several people I know came to the capital with helplessness. After they leave the coal business, they talk about business logic in Beijing, which is so rough that you can hardly understand it. ”

After saying this, Wu Zhilin smiled and continued: "A few years ago, those friends told me: he thinks that the rules of the capital are simple and transparent, orderly, and full of people full of passion and ideas. In contrast, to make coal in the coal capital is to live in a bloody and complex jungle society. ”

Li Yan nodded, he did agree with this statement. Who doesn't want to keep up with the times and do something "more advanced".

Wu Zhilin raised his hand and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and said elegantly: "Nowadays, people rarely discuss traditional industries, and they are keen on Internet projects. For example, we do Internet + finance. Of course, there are also many physical money-burning projects, such as Meituan, Kuaishou, Storm Audio-Visual and other companies were born in dozens of square meters of private houses, with bedrooms to rest and living rooms to work. In this environment, as long as there are angel rounds of investment, round after round of capital injection, you should know the rest of the matter, right?"

Li Yan nodded, he could feel such a change. After thinking about it, he said, "But can those coal bosses make such an investment......?

Before he finished speaking, he heard Wu Zhilin say with a smile: "After my friends said goodbye to coal, what they could do when they entered the capital was actually to buy a house and invest." They bought property one after another, and sometimes they called me to help out with the staff. Once, a coal boss surnamed Chen called me to see the house in Chaoyang Yuanyang. He said that he was not interested in small apartments, and only looked at the 380-square-meter big house with 4 bedrooms, 3 living rooms and 3 bathrooms! I used to be addicted, but after they saw it, they reached out and asked for all the houses on the same floor and paid directly in cash. At that time, it was quite a shock to me. ”

"Damn, now you've made a lot of money, right?" Li Yan asked with a dumbfounded explanation.

In Li Yan's mind, this situation seems to be a circulating joke. I didn't expect anyone to really buy a house like this.

Wu Zhilin said with a smile: "Isn't it." It's more than what we have earned by working hard to do a project and operating as a bank for two years. ”

"This is the legendary unemployment, speculating in real estate and prospering the country?" Li Yan complained at the same time, and then heard Wu Zhilin say: "Actually, this is just the beginning! Boss Chen bought more than a dozen houses non-stop. In order to take care of his own property and that of other coal boss friends, he even opened a special housing agency later!"

After Li Yan heard these words, he was half surprised, half understood. He felt that this was a kind of revenge release after being suppressed for too long. To put it bluntly, these bosses used to have money, but they didn't have any dignity. Although ordinary people think that they are already very good, they don't know that they are all kneeling to earn money and come from nine deaths. Now that I'm free, I guess I want to spend all the money standing up!

After Wu Zhilin glanced at Li Yan, he said slowly: "When I first arrived in the capital, my friends who were coal bosses had nothing to do except buy a house, either drinking and chatting, or having nothing to do all day long. After a long time, it also revealed anxiety and discomfort about the new environment. In the huge city of Beijing, in fact, they still lack self-confidence in their bones, and even have some inferiority, unwilling to do nothing, but lack the determination to start a new business. To put it bluntly, big business can't understand it, and I don't have the courage to try. And the small business looks down on it, and thinks that the money is too slow, do you know how fast their money has grown in the past?"

Nodding, Li Yan said with some understanding: "So they have to buy houses one after another?"

"There is a situation that when people's mental development cannot keep up with the growth of wealth, money is a problem for people, and even causes disasters. It may not be accurate to say that this situation happened to the people who demolished them, but the coal bosses may have a deeper understanding of this taste. Many people don't want to see their fate happen to their friends. So someone had an idea to gather the money of the coal boss and do something. It seems that there is a representative of coal called Brother Hao......"

Wu Zhilin said this, and suddenly he heard Li Yan's puff, and squirted out the tea in his mouth in one gulp.

Frowning, Wu Zhilin didn't speak. I saw Li Yan cough a few times, wipe his mouth, and smile bitterly at himself.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhilin asked at Li Yan.

"What I saw today is Brother Hao!" Li Yan responded with a wry smile.

"Hey......" Wu Zhilin sighed, and then said to Li Yan: "As far as I know, those coal bosses have only one requirement for investment direction! I heard my friend say that they originally wanted to invest in the most popular grilled fish restaurant in Beijing at that time, but just before the launch, they didn't know how to set up a group buying website, because they also wanted to test the water on the Internet?

After Li Yan frowned, he asked Wu Zhilin, "Then what?"

"They feel that group buying involves physical trade, which is similar to the coal business. And they also have a financial advantage. After saying this, Wu Zhilin suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Li Yan, and added: "When they are about to start." Meituan has already gone live. And other similar projects are also being launched. Later, they launched the group website. ”

Listening to Wu Zhilin's description, Li Yan's heart, which was originally anxious to raise funds, gradually calmed down. In Wu Zhilin's words, he seemed to have felt something else.

Wu Zhilin continued at this time: "At first, their website of the regiment started smoothly. Boss Chen's judgment at that time was that the website did not lack offline expansion capabilities, nor was it short of money, and the only shortcoming was technology. As long as you can afford a high salary in Zhongguancun, recruiting apes has never been a problem. Compared to the coal industry, which has unspoken rules and dependencies on everything, all this makes them feel simple, transparent and efficient!"

"What happened?" Li Yan asked calmly.

Wu Zhilin thought for a while and said: "Their group buying website seems to have the upper hand for a while, and often snatches orders that have been negotiated by opponents. They even say it's an advantage of doing coal. Some people even said that they were full of confidence in doing this. There should be no one who can compare with someone who has ever engaged in coal. Because they eat so well. Public relations skills, communication skills, negotiation skills, no one is as strong as them!"

Li Yan nodded as if he understood something, and then said, "It should have been good for a while, right?"

"Well, their group buying website, I watched the sea dragon who moved from the residential building in the community not far from us. Then the whole team was immersed in optimism. I remember Jumei was there at the time. It's just that they only live in one room, three or four offices, but their group buying website is already one floor. Because my friend bought this floor!"

"Damn, this is the biggest guarantee. The loss of the website may not be nothing, but after two years, I found that the best thing to do in this transaction is actually to buy a house?" Li Yan smiled bitterly.

Wu Zhilin smiled and said: "Half a year after it was launched, a media company wanted to buy their group buying website as a whole at a price of 30 million. But their response was, "Are we short of this money?"

Li Yan sighed, understanding that this was the mode of operation, but they were flooded. It's also a chance to give up!

Wu Zhilin said: "Later, new players came one after another, and the words "Hundred Regiments War" began to appear frequently in the media. Boss Chen and the others were very excited at first, feeling a pleasure similar to that when the coal tuyere came. But later, he realized that he did not understand the logic of Internet competition at the time: the competition of coal is only the difference between making more and earning less, while the Internet is life and death. The more players, the fiercer the competition. It didn't take long for the price war to come. Boss Chen thought that this was a short-term act to seize market share and would not last too long. But the opponents' offensive was much more ferocious than he had imagined. Once he negotiated a contract with a unit price of 78 yuan, ready to go online at the original price, not making money, only going volume. But when he was about to go online, the merchant suddenly withdrew the order, and a few days later, he saw that other companies were online at 56 yuan. ”

Li Yan sighed: "It's just a nervous path. Isn't it suicide to sell an order for more than 20 yuan?"

"Boss Chen, they have no choice but to follow up. Expenditures of more than 10,000 yuan are signed and approved by him, and a sum of money is signed, and a sum of compensation is paid. Every day, looking at the stacks of application forms, he felt that his fingers holding the pen were a little weak. It doesn't matter, the brothers have money and can afford to play.
