Chapter 121: Yao Qianqian

……

"There are two reasons for this: first, it's too risky. Internet companies are mixed, and it is difficult for people who are not specialized in this industry to make accurate judgments. Second, the angel round and VC round of financing of Internet companies with real development prospects may add up to two or three times, and in terms of smell and negotiation ability, risk assessment, company reputation, and other factors, you are not as good as venture capital companies and angel investors from Silicon Valley! As for the PE round, believe me and I don't say that you know it!"

After listening to Guo Shouyun's profound words, looking at his deep eyes, after everyone looked at each other, no one spoke. For a while, the atmosphere in the banquet became a little depressing.

"Guys, you may consider what I just proposed. Also, if you trust me enough, we can discuss the investment in the real estate industry together, or I can do an asset plan for you. If you choose the latter, I can guarantee that your investment will grow by at least 10% per year!" Guo Shouyun opened his mouth to break the silence.

He was well aware of the purpose of today's meeting. It's nothing more than wanting to get a stake in LinkedIn from himself. But Guo Shouyun has a clear plan for the future of LinkedIn, and it is impossible to disrupt his steps just because of his Chinese identity. Besides, don't look at the warmth with them just now, in fact, except for Cheng Tinghua, a classmate who is not close, everyone is just strangers!

Therefore, he also expressed his attitude through the above words: If you believe me, I can see that everyone is Chinese and overseas Chinese, and I will take you to make money together. But if you want a stake in LinkedIn or Google, don't be delusional!

"If we plan to enter the real estate industry, is Mr. Guo willing to invest in it?" Du Hongchuan's eyes flashed.

"Of course!" Guo Shouyun nodded without hesitation, "But I only do financial investment, not management!"

After nearly 100 years of development, the real estate industry in the United States has matured. There are professional companies in charge of land development, land planning, housing transactions, secured loans and other fields. Even if housing prices skyrocket in the future, it will not be enough for him to make a huge profit. In contrast, MBS and DNS bonds that rely on real estate are more profitable, of course, this is a later story.

Now, Guo Shouyun has no intention of becoming a real estate developer in the United States, but if it is just a financial investment, it is no problem. Of course, this can also reassure these people here. What I just said is not a deception!

After several people exchanged glances, Cheng Tinghua suddenly said with a smile: "Okay, I'll stop for a moment when I see the topic of chatting, let's eat first, otherwise the barbecue will be cold!"

"Yes, yes, everyone eats first, and it's not too late to talk after eating!" Chen Hui agreed.

"You know how to eat!"

After glaring at him, Qiu Hongying didn't say anything more.

Under Cheng Tinghua's deliberate mediation, the atmosphere in the banquet gradually relaxed. It's like a party when everyone eats and drinks. However, from their slightly furrowed brows and the occasional look in their eyes, Guo Shouyun understood that his previous words occupied a lot of place in their hearts.

"Bruce, there's a game between the Warriors and the Lakers next week, do you want to watch it together?" Cheng Tinghua said.

If it was replaced by the original Bruce Guo, he would definitely not refuse as a basketball enthusiast. But now Guo Shouyun obviously doesn't have much interest in basketball, if he watches football, it's good. Plus, he's got something to do next week.

"No, I'm going to Greece next week!

"Greece?"

"Hmm!"

Guo Shouyun nodded. Next Saturday, Molly Bevan's winter sketching in Greece will come to an end. The two have already made an appointment to meet in Athens in advance, and then play in this country for a while!

"That's a shame!"

Seeing that Guo Shouyun was reluctant to say more, Cheng Tinghua was also interested and didn't ask much.

In the following time, everyone ate and drank, and there was no tacit understanding that there was no more business-related topics.

At about half past nine in the evening, Guo Shouyun offered his farewell. After a little restraint, they sent him away.

Back in the room again, after everyone sat down on the sofa in the living room, Qin Xiao said: "It seems that we have no hope of getting LinkedIn shares!"

Wang Guozhen nodded, "Although it was a tactful refusal just now, the tone was quite firm. ”

"I think we're still in too much of a hurry. After all, we only met for the first time today, and if it were me, I wouldn't accept the investment of a group of strangers!" Du Hongchuan said.

"There's no way around it. Now the valuation of LinkedIn within Silicon Valley has reached $350 million. If we use the idea of contacting feelings first and then investing, it is estimated that with our current strength, we will not be able to get much equity at all!" Cheng Tinghua sighed and said, "LinkedIn is developing too fast!"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

In Silicon Valley after the NASDAQ crisis, Internet companies that can find their own profit models are the most popular. So, don't look at Amazon, Yahoo, and eBay each have billions of liabilities, but they still have more market capitalization than debt. In the same way, thanks to the rapid development in the field of headhunting and employment intermediaries, LinkedIn, which is becoming more and more profitable, is far more attractive in the venture capital industry than Google, which is still only an Internet concept stock!

"Maybe we can think about real estate investment!"

Yao Qianqian opened her mouth to break the silence, and after noticing the eyes of everyone focused on her, "Guo Shouyun has not suffered a major loss in his investment so far, so I trust his judgment." In addition, real estate in the United States as a whole has really been on the rise recently!"

"The real estate industry in the United States is relatively mature, and the profits in it are not high!" Gao Jingguo reminded.

"It's not even a profit of about 10%, and if the house price goes up, we will make more. After a pause, Chen Huidi slowly swept over the faces of several friends with playful eyes, "Don't forget, everyone, what is our status in our own family." Although in the eyes of others, we live in a villa and drive a luxury car, but in fact we are just concubines who can't get the right to inherit. If you don't find a reliable and stable career, you can only get by with a severance pay after ten or twenty years!"

The words are not rough, not to be the first to drink, but also to make everyone aware of their respective situations.

"Lao Chen is right. Now for us, the most important thing is to find a career that we can do for a long time!"

"That's right, I don't want to sit on the mountain in the future!"

"I don't want the old man to see the joke later!" ......

Chen Huidi said again: "Everyone, Guo Shouyun said it just now. If we invest in real estate, he will follow suit. In this way, will we have a union of interests? With this kind of relationship, we will definitely have more legitimate contacts than we do now. When the time comes, if there are good investment opportunities, we won't be like now, and we won't even be able to drink soup!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Lao Chen, you guy is on point!" Cheng Tinghua said with a smile.

"With such a big head, it's not a full fat bag!"

Qiu Hongying smiled and patted her boyfriend's head, very satisfied with his previous performance.

"That's!" Chen Huidi had a smug look on her fat face.

"Lao Cheng, it seems that you will have to run again in a few days!" After thinking for a while, Qin Xiao said.

"It doesn't matter. But Qianqian, you come with me!" Cheng Tinghua turned his head and said.

"Me?" Yao Qianqian pointed at herself, "I'll forget it." Moreover, you have all seen it today, that person surnamed Guo is not very interested in me at all!"

"This just shows that he has determination in terms of women~ sex, not that he doesn't like it. In fact, look all over the world, as long as you are not a straight man, there is no one who is not interested in Qianqian. By the way, friendly reminder, Guo Shouyun is not married yet, if you think he is good, don't let go of the opportunity easily!" Cheng Tinghua said with a smile.

"Yes, Qianqian, Guo Shouyun is a top-notch match!" Qin Xiao echoed.

Yao Qianqian's bright gaze swept over the two of them, and said sarcastically: "You bastards, are you Wang Zhaojun who is ready to take the old lady as a 'kiss'?"

"Don't say that, Guo Shouyun is handsome, talented, and rare to have a lot of wealth, much better than 'Hu Han Evil Shan Yu'!" Du Hongchuan said.

"The surname is Du, I remember when you were in college, you chased your mother!" Yao Qianqian glared at him.

After smiling awkwardly, Du Hongchuan shrugged his shoulders, "Didn't you refuse at that time, I was sad for a long time for this...!"

"You've made Lilith's belly bigger, and I'm not going to be a stepmother, so the old lady has a brain pump to become your girlfriend!" Yao Qianqian interrupted.

"Ahem...!Qianqian, you better go with Tinghua. This matter is done, and it will be good for you!" Qin Xiao coughed twice, interrupting Yao Qianqian's words. Otherwise, if she continues to talk presumptuously, everyone will not look good. After all, when you are young and frivolous, no one is clean under their buttocks.

"What's the benefit? I can't take care of my own clothing business, so how can I have the leisure to take care of your real estate?"

Looking at Yao Qianqian's look of 'no rabbit and no eagle', Qin Xiao sighed in his heart, he knew very well what the other party wanted.

"As long as it can be done, I promise to help you get the loan done!"

"Really?"

Yao Qianqian's eyes lit up.

Among the people present, except for her, they are all children of rich families. Therefore, when I graduated from college and started my own business, the situation was particularly difficult, especially when it came to loans.

"Of course!"

Qin Xiao nodded. His father, Qin Lide, is a director of East West Bank, and Yao Qianqian's loan is not much, and there is no problem with qualifications. He believed he could still convince his father to help.

"Well, I agreed. Lao Cheng, just notify me when you go. I promise to dress up beautifully and take down that Guo Shouyun!"
