Chapter 111: Lack of money

After Zhuo Ziyuan transferred the money to Zhao Qiang's card on the 2nd day, he gave Zhao Qiang full authority to deal with the training base and bodyguards, and Zhao Qiang proposed to increase the number of female team members, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was very necessary, if someone really threatened him with the women around him in the future, then the personal protection of the female bodyguards was very necessary, so he agreed to recruit Zhao Qiang on his own.

First, Zhuo Ziyuan himself has no relationship to find a bodyguard, so he can't write a recruitment notice publicly, or directly find the army and say, I want to recruit veterans as bodyguards. The best way is through Zhao Qiang's own network, he has a network of comrades-in-arms in the army, and maybe he can also connect with his old leaders in the past, and these relationships don't have to be in vain.

Second, Zhuo Ziyuan is not good at the matter of the training base, and he doesn't want to come forward in it, this is his consistent style of acting, and low-key is king.

Zhuo Ziyuan is now starting to worry about money again, because he sees an opportunity in the stock market.

In addition to studying and writing, Zhuo Ziyuan has another necessary task every day, which is to pay attention to the stocks of listed companies in the United States.

Zhuo Ziyuan cares more about the old American imperialist technology stocks, that is, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, the three giants, who are all behemoths with a market value of trillions of dollars in later generations. It's just that Microsoft now has a market value of 250 billion US dollars, and it has only increased by 4 times in more than ten years, which has no investment value at all in Zhuo Ziyuan's view, and the impact of the Internet crisis on Microsoft can almost be said to have no impact.

The other two companies have become the focus of Zhuo Ziyuan's attention, and the current market value of Apple and Amazon is only seven or eight billion US dollars, which is more than 100 times more than 100 times compared with the trillion in more than ten years, and it is completely worth investing.

It's just that the current Zhuo Ziyuan has limited funds and can make short-term investments, but long-term holding is not what Zhuo Ziyuan thinks. The impact of the Internet crisis on these two companies is also very small, Amazon fell by two-thirds, and Apple's stock price fell by less than half, short-term investment is completely meaningless, and Zhuo Ziyuan knows that Apple's stock price will take off at least until the life of smart phones, that will have to wait until 06 or 07 years, as for when Amazon's stock price will take off, Zhuo Ziyuan is not clear.

In addition to caring about the above companies of the United States, Zhuo Ziyuan has also paid great attention to the domestic Internet companies listed on the US stock market, and the three companies of Yiwang, Moulang, and Mouhu are still strong after more than ten years, which is enough to show that the current crisis has not broken them, which is also the reason why Zhuo Ziyuan is now worried about funds.

These three companies were listed on the U.S. stock market in 2000, and they were unlucky, just in the midst of the Internet crisis, the stock price fell miserably, a certain wave fell the most, and the highest stock price ratio has fallen to one-fifteenth of the original, and although Yiwang and a fox are better, they are not much better, and the current valuation has almost fallen to one-tenth of the opening price.

Zhuo Ziyuan felt that now was a good time to make money, holding it in his hands for a maximum of two years, and then the funds could be at least five times more than five, Zhuo Ziyuan's plan was to start changing hands after holding it for two years, unless there was a special need for funds in the middle period.

In fact, among these three companies, Zhuo Ziyuan wants to hold Yiwang for a long time, because after more than ten years, he has developed better, what cloud disks, mailboxes, Yiwang cloud music, Youdao dictionaries, and Yiwang games have always been very popular, but unfortunately Yiwang has been listed, if it has not been listed, then it can still be plugged in, and it may be possible to become their shareholder. Although a certain wave later owned Weibo, Weibo is an independent company listed separately, which also led to the same as a certain wave and a certain fox, more than ten years later, Zhuo Ziyuan basically will not be on their website and products, so for these two companies, Zhuo Ziyuan just wants to make a lot of money from them.

Zhuo Ziyuan originally wanted Xu Ziqiang to buy these stocks directly, but after Xu Ziqiang told him about the risks, Zhuo Ziyuan decided not to use the current Youdao funds for the time being.

Youdao now owns 25% of the equity of Penguin, a total value of 10 million, which happens to be the funds owned by Youdao now, according to the agreement, the first 6 million US dollars of the two companies have been paid, and the remaining 4 million must be paid off within half a year, that is, by the end of September, otherwise they have the right to redeem the equity, that is, 6 million US dollars for them to use for half a year. Not to mention the question of whether it is used in vain or not, Zhuo Ziyuan will not let the equity of the penguin slip out of his hands anyway, and by the end of September, how much copyright fee can be paid, Zhuo Ziyuan is not clear at all, Twilight's third Zhuo Ziyuan's original plan is also after October, and relying on the original two books, it is estimated that the copyright fee will not increase much, and it would be good to have a million.

Therefore, the only way Zhuo Ziyuan can think of is to speed up his writing progress and let the third part come out in advance, so that he can have enough funds to make more investments, but in order to ensure the foolproof of Penguin's equity, Zhuo Ziyuan is not ready to use the existing funds, that is, he can't invest in the stock market now, so Zhuo Ziyuan is really sorry, but Penguin equity can't go wrong.

Xu Ziqiang also mentioned another thing, he has now sorted out almost all known Internet companies in China, and is gradually contacting to see if there is an opportunity to invest in shares, at present, several companies have clearly refused, and several companies have not rejected the olive branch thrown by Xu Ziqiang, but there is no clear financing intention. Xu Ziqiang needs a period of time to operate, and then report to Zhuo Ziyuan in detail.

Xu Ziqiang also put forward the hope that Zhuo Ziyuan will increase investment in funds, if those companies have financing intentions in the future, it will inevitably require a large amount of capital investment.

But Zhuo Ziyuan has no money, money has become a big problem, if there is such an opportunity in the future, and Zhuo Ziyuan clearly knows how high the profit of investment is, if it is impossible to make this money because of the problem of money, Zhuo Ziyuan feels that he will not be depressed, so the only way is to publish the book as soon as possible.

As for how to speed up the progress of writing, Zhuo Ziyuan thought of two ways, for a while, increase the writing time every day, from 1 hour, to 2 hours, so that the time can be shortened by half.

Another way is to write the English manuscript directly, no longer follow the original routine, first complete the Chinese draft, and then translate, the benefits are also obvious, shorten the time, your English level can be significantly improved.

The third part of the Chinese draft, Zhuo Ziyuan is now only half completed, starting to write directly in English, is also an exercise, if you really can't go on, at the beginning of the stage, the first half of the Chinese draft can be proficient in translation.

Zhuo Ziyuan's worries were a little unnecessary, and his English writing went very smoothly.

Relying on the vocabulary accumulation of the previous two books, as well as his usual learning, it is no exaggeration to say that Zhuo Ziyuan's current English level even exceeds the level of some high school teachers. Not only the vocabulary, but also the grammar and context understanding, it is also a step higher, otherwise he would not often be able to get a full score in the English test, and now what Zhuo Ziyuan lacks is language communication, and he can speak the things in his mind directly through his mouth.

With the need for money, Zhuo Ziyuan is full of motivation to write, he doesn't stop writing for two hours a day, sometimes the interest comes, and he even writes until the early hours of the morning, and a few times Li Xinyuan went to the toilet in the middle of the night, found that he was still in the study, and urged him to sleep, so he stopped writing.

Li Xinyuan didn't know Zhuo Ziyuan's current situation, she was just worried that Zhuo Ziyuan would be tired and exhausted by this appearance, and accidentally found that Zhuo Ziyuan stayed up until almost 1 o'clock in the morning, she began to pay attention to Zhuo Ziyuan's rest time every day, basically until Zhuo Ziyuan returned to the room, she would sleep with peace of mind.

Li Xinyuan also set an alarm clock at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, if Zhuo Ziyuan went back to the room to sleep before she went to bed, she would turn off the alarm clock, if not, as soon as the alarm clock rang, she would get up to look at the study, if Zhuo Ziyuan was still writing, she would make him go to sleep by means of coquettishness and trickery.

After a period of time, Zhuo Ziyuan also discovered Li Xinyuan's methods, and now the alarm clock is quite loud, he is completely engaged in writing, and may ignore it, but not every time the alarm clock rings, he devotes himself to writing, and once or twice, Zhuo Ziyuan understands Li Xinyuan's worries.

Zhuo Ziyuan reflected, he felt a little enchanted during this time, he was pressed by the pressure of money, he didn't take into account the feelings of the people around him at all, and he also relaxed his devotion to learning, this state is not what he wants, relive a lifetime, how can he still be led by money, he wants to change.

However, the experience of this period of time once again left a mark on Zhuo Ziyuan's heart, no matter when, no matter what the circumstances, you can't get lost in the temptation of money, and you can't let your mind get lost.

So, Zhuo Ziyuan carefully calculated the time, started writing at 9 o'clock every day and went to bed at 11 o'clock, so as to ensure his study time and writing efficiency.

Nearly 10,000 words can be written in two hours, and the third part is planned to be more than 400,000 words, and the madness of this period of time has completed nearly 200,000 words, and there is more than half of the workload, and it will take 1 month at most to complete, and now it is in May, that is, considering the impact of the final exam, it should also be able to be completed before the summer vacation, and then give the publishing house 1 month of preparation period, then it is estimated that you will be able to get a fund before August, according to the situation of the previous two parts, this money will not be less, this Zhuo Ziyuan is still very confident.

In terms of time, the arrival of this money is fully enough for the repayment time of the two companies, and if there are really companies worth investing in during this period, they will be able to use the existing funds as a last resort.

After making a decision, Zhuo Ziyuan talked to Li Xinyuan and told her about the problems he was currently encountering and the solutions he had thought of.

First, he felt that there was no need to hide it, he was indeed a little out of control during this time, which made Li Xinyuan worried.

The second is to ask her to stop adjusting the alarm clock, sleep half of the sleep, and have to wake up the whole alarm clock, Zhuo Ziyuan knows that feeling, taking care of his daughter in his previous life is also doing this, and the mental state of the next day will be very poor, and he will soon form a biological clock, and he will wake up at the end of the day.
