Chapter 94 (Overhauled, please collect it first, and read it later)
On this morning, Lin Yi was watching the news and doing his homework, when suddenly a recruitment advertisement broke into his eyes.
Compared with Lin Yi's factory, the salary and various benefits of those who volunteer to serve as soldiers are much more attractive!
For college students, if they can't afford to repay their student loans, the high salary of civilian soldiers is also a solution. And some of the advertising shots are obviously for female soldiers.
When Lin Yi was working in the morning, he mentioned this matter, wondering if the workers on the assembly line would be seduced away by advertisements or even forced to serve in the military?
Tom swung his fingers and received three NO in a row: "Don't worry, boss, it should be in 73 years, the United States canceled the compulsory military service system, and now they are all volunteers." ”
Jack straightened his beard, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "If it weren't for the anti-war demonstrations of that year, without our repeated protests, and the Vietnam War in 73 years, how could it be possible to cancel compulsory military service?"
Lin Yi thought about it and felt that his guess was wrong - the United States lost the Vietnam War, and the oil crisis should be just one of the reasons. The anti-war wave and the lack of troops are probably the main reasons.
Wang Lin took over the conversation: "The high wages and benefits of conscription are mainly aimed at the unemployed. When I first came to the United States, I lived in a slum and was often harassed during military recruitment. ”
From the three of them, it was learned that the current US army, the number of which is more than 2 million people. Lin Yi was secretly stunned when he heard this, it really deserved to be the era of the Cold War, and there were reckless soldiers everywhere!
========= dividing line =========
Defengjie Venture Capital Company, Lin Yi sat in the conference room, looking at the documents and listening to Tim's explanation.
"MCI, the second submission of listing documents, has finally been approved. By the end of this year at the latest, the company we invested in will enter the NASDAQ electronic trading platform!"
Just one month after investing in the shares, there is such good news, which is really unexpected for Lin Yi!
The original intention of investing in DFJ was to obtain an information platform to monitor Silicon Valley, and at the same time to serve as a learning base for venture capital. As a result, I didn't expect to get off to a good start first!
In 1976, the NASDAQ was not yet a securities market, but only an electronic trading platform. Unlike the New York Stock Exchange, it uses a 'market maker' system.
Although it has passed the review, the MCI performance is average, and only one market maker is allocated.
Moreover, the vitality of the NASDAQ has not recovered enough in recent years, so this time period is not the best time to go public. After the stock is circulated, it is difficult to get a warm follow-up. If DFJ wants to cash out the stocks, I'm afraid it's not that easy.
But there is no way, for three years, DFJ's performance has been poor. The company is in dire need of a success to boost shareholder confidence. Otherwise, I am afraid that the divestment will happen again!
Therefore, although this listing is not perfect, it can give people hope.
And the host of the meeting, Tim, although he is young and old, is very good at emotional management, but at this moment, it is still difficult to hide his excitement.
Lin Yi also learned that applying for listing on the NASDAQ requires the company to operate for at least three consecutive years and provide complete financial documents.
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, Microsoft and Apple have not yet made a sound, so there must be a long time before they go public. It seems that there is still plenty of time!
Turning his head, Lin Yi thought of Paradise Company again, video games are also an emerging industry, and it is completely possible for NASDAQ to be listed!
Although three years is a long time, when the gun is sharpened in battle, it is easy to make all kinds of mistakes.
Those financial documents, before going public, must go through strict scrutiny by the IRS. If the accounts are chaotic or even the data is inconsistent, then it's all over!
So after the meeting, Lin Yi visited Tim. Obtain the relevant documents of the listing so that you can get back to Paradise for reference.
Tim smiled and said, "Those documents can't fit in a room, how can you take them? And a lot of information in them is within the scope of supervision, and it is not suitable for outsiders to see." ”
Lin Yi remembered at this time that when he was trading stocks in his previous life, he often heard words like 'undisclosed material information and insider trading'. It doesn't look like that's going to be the case!
However, the spirit of preparing in advance, Tim agrees: "It is definitely a wise choice to standardize management and be familiar with the relevant processes now!
After discussing with Tim, Lin Yi got a solution: after MCI went public, he could teach Paradise Games about its listing experience through labor dispatch.
However, in the past six months, Paradise Games cannot be idle. After Lin Yi returned to the company, he appointed two attentive female employees to manage the data files.
If you don't have someone in charge, it's easy to lose files. Lin Yi thought of this, and was a little embarrassed - in his previous life, he had this problem, and then he had to rush to wipe his ass!
However, Lin Yi's biggest gain from DFJ's trip was not the listing bonus, but the knowledge of risk management.
Because on the shore of the abyss, Lin Yi saved De Fengjie, and he is humble and studious, so when communicating after the meeting, no matter what questions he asked, Tim would teach him:
"As long as it's an investment, there's bound to be risk. Therefore, the foundation of venture capital companies lies in the ability to control risks, and even turn risks into capital. ”
"Actually, it's not just venture capital that's an investment, it's also an investment to start a factory and buy stocks. Their common feature is that they cannot be insured by insurance companies to mitigate risks. ”
"So when investing, don't put your eggs in one basket. If the risk is too concentrated, it can be a loss. Career failure can lead to personal bankruptcy and even huge debts!"
Tim said this, touching the cold sweat that didn't exist on his head. It seems that I want to use this little humor to express my gratitude to Lin Yi.
The situation that the other party said, when he started the company, Lin Yi already knew. In the case of a 'limited liability company', the bankruptcy liquidation does not implicate individuals.
But Paradise Games is not one of them. Whether it is an individual company or a partnership company, after the enterprise goes bankrupt, the boss will be implicated.
The arcade market responded well, and Lin Yi had the bottom in his heart to dare to borrow huge debts. As for foreign exchange and futures, he has no experience and no relevant memory, so he doesn't touch it.
High leverage, there may be huge gains, but it also means huge risks. When you fail, you become nothing, and you find that a huge chasm between 0 and 1 reappears.
That night, after everything was quiet, Lin Yi took out a pen and paper, took out a calculator, and calculated an account:
High-risk investments, very much like gambling, either 10 times the return, or everything is 0, or even huge debts.
Like Shi Yuzhu, he owed a billion after failure, and then rose again, such a miracle, Lin Yi didn't want to experience it!
Gambling, buying short and selling short, these are all high-risk speculations, and Lin Yi has not liked them since he crossed over. Now he found that perhaps this natural rejection was the benefit given by the great god of crossing. Compared to the 'system', this gift may be even more powerful!
With the help of 'prophecy', as long as the risk is carefully controlled, the minimum harvest per year can also double the investment.
Even if the boat accidentally capsizes, with risk control, you can lose half of it at most, and you can still leave half of the old capital to turn over quickly.
In this investment method, if the probability of success of others is 60%, then Lin Yi has 80%. Zooming in to 40 years, the change in principal - doubled 32 times, halved 8 times.
After hedging, it was doubled 24 times.
Assuming that the principal is $1 million, multiplied by 2 to the 24th power, by 2016, Lin Yi's assets will swell to $16 trillion!
Wait, Lin Yi vaguely remembers that when China surpassed RB and became the world's second economy, the GNP of the United States seemed to be only 16 trillion US dollars!
Could it be that in 2016, Americans don't eat or drink, and their annual income is given to Lin Yi?
It seems that no matter how efficient the 'prediction' is, if it develops to a certain extent, it will certainly hit the 'limit of growth'! If you say that 16 trillion is 1.6 trillion yuan, the Americans will probably not agree to it!
From this point of view, the traverser and the reborn guest should restrain their greed. 'Overnight riches' is not a good thing, but a trap!
Even if pie does not fall from the sky, if you are careful to operate for thirty or forty years, you will still go to the top and hit the 'ceiling of the world'!
