In this bustling international metropolis, money, power, and desire are intertwined and converged here, staging a legendary drama. It attracts thousands of people to flock to chase everything that worldly people dream of, fame and fortune, fragrant cars and BMWs, alcoholic beauties, brand-name luxury goods......

Not far from the financial street, countless people are staring at the stock market every day, thinking of heaven and hell. In the splendid hotels and nightclubs, the drama of drunken dreams and death is being performed in turn......

It's the best of times, but it's also the worst of times.

As long as there are hands and feet, the situation that could not even solve the problem of food and clothing in the past will basically not appear again. But in the era of economic dominance, material desires began to flow sideways, and simple people's hearts began to deteriorate under the drive of interests.

In his previous life, Gu Heng was also a layman, driven by cars and house tickets, and had to adapt to the values under the trend of the times, wearing layers of false masks, dealing with different people, chasing fame and vanity in the urban cage made of steel and concrete.

The general trend of the times, Gu Heng can't change it, and he doesn't have the right to evaluate it, because he himself was once a member of it, and he was forced to constantly adapt to the rules of survival formulated by it.

In fact, even if he was reborn, he was not driven by material things before, desperately chasing fame and power, afraid that he would still achieve nothing before the advantages of the prophetic period were exhausted, and he could only return to the state of his previous life, without the capital to talk about spiritual pursuits and ideals, and unable to give everything better to the people around him.

It wasn't until he came to this point, when hundreds of millions of funds were at his fingertips, that his mentality quietly changed, and he had a kind of ease and happiness that he had been in the cage for a long time and returned to nature.

The material base determines the superstructure, and at a time when the need for money has become less urgent, he finally has time to stop and enjoy what he now has in a state of relative ease.

In the past, his career was passively moving forward, as long as he could make money, he wanted to do it. But now, he really has another layer of realization, career should be more to prove his value, as for making money, it can be regarded as the inevitable product of career success, rather than the pursuit in the first place.

This quiet change of mentality made him look at the scenery outside the window, and he had a different feeling from the past, only to feel that his eyes suddenly opened up a lot.

The last time he came, after seeing the bustling night view of the Pujiang River, he had an impulse to make money, thinking of a sea-view villa and a cruise ship......

And now, also standing here, he is thinking about whether he can one day become the most high-profile group of people in the bustling metropolis and in the tide of this era.

I have a pearl, which has been locked by dust for a long time, and now the dust is gone, shining through the mountains and rivers!

At this moment, Gu Heng was in a trance, and from the bright neon lights outside the window, he saw the original intention that he had lost for a long time.

"Ding-dong......"

It wasn't until the doorbell rang that Gu Heng came back to his senses and let out a long breath.

The door opened, and Josie's smiling face, which was mostly unsmiling, came into view.

"You're living a pretty comfortable day!"

Josie entered the door and looked at Gu Heng in a bathrobe, and there was a bottle of freshly opened red wine on the coffee table by the window, and made a rare joke.

"Stealing half a day, compared to many bosses, I'm already a very diligent kind. ”

Gu Heng knew that Josie should be smiling, and walked to the counter not far away, took out a wine glass, and poured her a glass.

He remembered that last time Josie specially asked him where to sell better red wine in Xiangshi, thinking that she still pursues the quality of life, and it shouldn't be a problem to have a drink or two.

Josie didn't refuse, she naturally picked up the goblet, gently rippled the red wine in the glass, and after taking a sip, she got down to business: "Now that Hengchuang has made a move, do you still plan to raise funds for the company? The venture capital institutions I contacted contacted me just now, and said that if you can, you will go to Xiangshi next week to negotiate specifically." ”

100 million, this is definitely a lot of money in China, in Yanjing and Shanghai and other places, you can pick a house vigorously, regardless of how many rings, you can take it if you are happy, and it is a villa to start.

But because of the high exchange rate, if you want to convert it into a US knife, it is only more than 10 million US dollars!

Gu Heng quietly calculated the accounts, it seemed that it was not enough.

In the previous life, SoftBank's investment in Ali totaled 80 million US dollars, the first 20 million, and the second was completed after Taobao was launched, that is to say, this second capital injection, Sun Zhengyi paid 60 million US dollars, which is nearly 500 million.

Gu Heng didn't think about competing with Sun Zhengyi for assets, but realized that the next financing would be an opportunity for him to expand his shareholding in Alibaba.

Each round of financing represents a change in the company's equity structure, and this change gives Gu Heng room to operate.

You must know that Sun Zhengyi relied on these two investments in his previous life to support Ali's listing in the end, making a profit of nearly 1,000 times. If you don't seize this opportunity, you will have to wait for another opportunity when Yahoo invests in Ali in the future.

But obviously, it will be extremely cost-effective at that time, because at that time, with the rise of Taobao's net worth, Ali, which controls Taobao, will also begin to increase its net worth, and it is impossible to easily win a lot of shares for tens of millions of dollars.

Gu Heng pondered for a moment, and asked without answering: "If I take out a mortgage loan to the bank with the Shengda shares in my hand, how much can I probably lend?"

Josie's eyes twitched slightly, as if she was a little surprised.

100 million funds is not enough, what is he going to do? He needs to use so much money!

Suppressing a little curiosity, Josie gave the answer: "It should be about 100 million!"

In this way, there are 200 million funds in hand, equivalent to more than 20 million US dollars, if you only maintain the original 5% of Ali shares in your hand, it is more than enough, but if you want to further increase your holdings, it seems that it is still a little insufficient.

After weighing, Gu Heng nodded lightly and said, "You notify them to come over." ”

With the advent of the Internet wave in the future, under the chaotic war between all parties, burning money and grabbing users has become the theme, if the funds in hand are not sufficient, it will be slow, step by step.

In the early stage, give up part of the shares in exchange for funds, and then use the money to make money, when the funds in hand are gradually sufficient, you can be much more relaxed in the later stage.

………

The next day, Josie set off for Xiangshi, and Gu Heng stepped on a plane to Hangzhou.

He misses his true destiny, during this time for the cause of hard work, the huge harvest is certainly worth rejoicing, but it is inevitable to feel a little boring and tired, and let the soul follow its own will to find its belonging, is undoubtedly the best way to rest.
