"The ability to discern truth from falsehood?" Ding Zhang suddenly reacted, "I have this ability, when I meet entrepreneurs, won't I immediately know the prospects of their projects?" In this case, wouldn't the investment be a sure thing? ”
After a troublesome transfer, Ding Zhang handed over the funds to a professional intermediary in Silicon Valley to manage, and disbursed them regularly. It's the best way for both sides, and Kalanick is very happy about it, and that's the rule, and everybody has to play by the rules.
With only $5 million in his account, he will soon be able to make a big splash and let Uber take over major cities around the world.
"Hey, man, do you have any other entrepreneurs here? I have some money and need to throw it out. ”
Ding Zhang said very easily, "If you know someone, introduce a few to me?" I can listen to their projects and decide right away whether to invest or not. ”
"Your ambitions are so big? Is this what a professional angel does? They all have to go through a long evaluation, and I didn't even think you'd sign me up. You know? I'm just trying my luck. ”
Kalanick laughed, "You know, the bigger the company, the more complicated the program. I just don't like complicated angel investing, so I'm going to try my luck with you. However, I don't want you to invest impulsively, it's the biggest responsibility for your money. ”
"Thank you for the reminder." Ding Zhang smiled, "I can judge the quality of each project, if you have the conditions, please help me make an appointment with a few entrepreneurs." ”
"No problem." Kalanick hurriedly posted the news on the school's bulletin board via email.
Ding Zhang is ready to throw all the money out.
He only looks at two points, one is the development prospects, and the other is more important, that is, the other party's favorability towards Ding Zhang.
Only when the favorability goes up, can Ding Zhang get fan value, which is the biggest gain, and the rest is not worth mentioning.
Soon, dozens of entrepreneurs came one after another, bringing their own business plans.
Ding Zhang took them one by one, put them aside, and asked them to negotiate with him one by one. "A cup of Blue Mountain coffee for everyone." Ding Zhang greeted the waiter, "I'm in for a treat." ”
"Oh...... Thank you! ”
"You're a great investor."
"What I am more interested in is your development prospects." Ding Zhang tried his best to pose as weather-hardened.
This group of people are all dragons and phoenixes among people, the entrepreneurial plan is well written, and some ideas are simply amazing, like what kind of intelligent robot research! There is also the study of biological sciences, which is an unprecedented exploration.
However, there must be prospects, at least a certain output in a few years, otherwise Ding Zhang will not be able to judge.
At about 10 o'clock in the evening, Ding Zhang finally called it a day, and his property was only 50 million yuan earned in China.
In the United States, Ding Zhang earned $19 million in assets in one day, and spent $19 million in assets in one day.
That's it, crisp and neat.
However, he has 10 contracts in hand, and except for Uber's big contract, which accounts for the majority, the rest of the investment is less than hundreds of thousands of dollars and more than millions of dollars.
"Sir, I've been following you for a long time." Ding Zhang was just about to leave when a round-faced foreigner walked up to him and stretched out his palm, "My name is Woodward." It's an employee of Manchester United. ”
"Manchester United employees?" Ding Zhang was surprised, what are Manchester United employees doing in Silicon Valley? Moreover, this guy looks like a scruffy beard and a round face like a watermelon, did he come here for a vacation?
If it weren't for Ding Zhang's frequent watching Manchester United games, he would have lost his little round face and was not a player.
"I came over to see how sports equipment was going and see if I could get some sponsorship." Woodward said solemnly, "I see that you have invested in ten companies in one afternoon, and you are extremely quick to judge, what do you seem to know?" ”
"It's the secret of my investment, and I certainly can't tell you." Ding Zhang's English is even more fluent than Woodward's, even with a strong Manchester accent.
"Yes, but can you tell me about it? How sure are you investing in these companies? I want to be a CEO in the future, and I have to have that judgment. ”
The current CEO of Manchester United's football team is David Gill, who was told to step down soon, and maybe this round-faced guy will take over, and he is now the adjutant.
"100% sure to make money. The 10 companies I invested in will all be worth more than $100 million in two years, and Uber in particular may be worth more than $10 billion in the future. ”
Woodward couldn't believe it, his mouth round, "Are you serious?" I wonder how you judged? ”
"This is my secret." Ding Zhang smiled mysteriously and shook the contract in his arms, "If you are interested, you can track the development of these ten companies." Their development history will tell you the answer. ”
"Really?" Woodward, who has been immersed in the mall for many years and is one of the promoters of Manchester United's football team's globalization strategy, cannot simply believe Ding Zhang, "I track the development of these 10 companies, if you don't follow the development you say, will you fail?" ”
"Failure? No kidding, I'm not going to fail. Ding Zhang knew that Woodward was a very professional manager, "Why don't we make a bet?" If I win, you're going to do something for me? When is my CEO? ”
"What if you lose?"
"I'll give you $5 million. What do you think? ”
"Pounds?"
"No problem." Ding Zhang patted his chest, "We can enter into a contract." ”
Woodward was excited, "No problem at all. Please trust me, I will only follow the development of these 10 companies and will not do anything to obstruct them. ”
"They're going to go well." Ding Zhang had just won a million dollars in a bet the day before yesterday, and now it was time to win a CEO.
"Our bet is limited to 2 years. In two years, all 10 companies I have on hand will be the best in Silicon Valley. ”
"No problem, I'm ready. I will make the most professional judgment. Woodward smiled proudly, "You may lose, after all, business is changing rapidly, and judgment is not enough." ”
"We'll see!" Ding Zhang was a little excited in his heart, this little fat man, his favorability towards us is also 10 points, and it will not be a problem to develop into a fan in the future.
When Ding Zhang left Silicon Valley, it was already 10:30 p.m., and he tried Uber's ride-hailing service.
In less than ten minutes, a brand-new Brady Veyron stopped beside him, "Sir, please get in the car." ”
"Are you a technician?" The driver asked, "I have a technology company looking to hire technicians in Silicon Valley. ”
Ding Zhang had a little realization in his heart, it turned out that working part-time as a driver could also pry the corners of other companies, wouldn't even other people's wives be able to take advantage of this opportunity to poach them? Are such companies still worried that they will not be able to grow?
