Chapter 9: The First Pot of Gold

In the following time, Nazha returned to school less and less, and every time she met Gu Wei, she was in a hurry.

Sometimes when the two are together, it feels like she was going to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Slowly, the two lost the sweetness they had when they first fell in love.

On this day, Gu Wei received a call from Manager Zhang, a domain name intermediary, asking him to come to the company to talk, and the buyer wanted to directly come forward to talk to him about buying a domain name.

is in Gu Wei's arms, and it is estimated that Jingdong's people can't sit still.

The intermediary does not have enough authority to set the price, so he can only make an appointment with the buyer and the seller to negotiate together.

After all, this is not a small project, the amount involved is particularly huge, and if the negotiation is completed, a large company like JD.com will not run their intermediary fees.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Gu Wei arrived at the intermediary company on time.

Manager Zhang, who received him, guided him into the conference room, pushed open the door, and the three men in suits and leather shoes in the conference room got up and stood up.

The leader is about 30 years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, combing his oily head back, and the whole person looks exquisite.

Seeing Gu Wei coming in, he took a step forward and stretched out his hand to shake Gu Wei's hand.

"You are Mr. Gu, introduce yourself, I am the representative of Jingdong, my surname is Wei, my name is Wei Yang."

"Hello, Manager Wei, I'm Gu Wei." The people on both sides sat opposite each other

"The agent should have told you about my situation and quotation before, to be honest, I am willing to sell this domain name, since you called me, I must have agreed to my offer."

Manager Wei said with a smile

"That's right, Mr. Gu, first of all, we on JD.com are indeed sincere in buying this domain name in your hand, and we will also give you a sincere offer, but your initial offer of 5 million US dollars is too exaggerated.

We are willing to pay you 15 million RMB for this domain name, you see, there are only a handful of domain names that can be sold at home and abroad. ”

As he spoke, he leaned his face forward, lowering his voice a little.

"If we Jingdong finally give up this domain name because of the price, then have you ever thought that it will be difficult for this domain name to be sold again, not to mention tens of millions, maybe millions."

Gu Wei smiled when he heard this, fortunately he was the one who knew the answer, and the open-book exam was okay.

If ordinary people were so soft and hard, they would probably agree.

"I can't say that, Manager Wei, this domain name may not be of such great value to me, and it may not be worth tens of millions of dollars for other companies."

As he spoke, Gu Wei gently tapped the table with his hand

"But you are JD.com, and what you do is a shopping website, and the most important thing about the website in addition to goods is customers, that is, traffic.

It is necessary to know how much advertising benefit and drainage effect a concise and clear domain name that matches the company's name can bring to the company.

Like your company's current domain name 360, I know that it is JD.com, and I don't know that I think it is a website opened by 360. Gu Wei pouted as he spoke

"I think if it is used by your company, then at least it can save hundreds of millions of dollars in traffic promotion and brand building costs, what do you think?"

With Gu Wei's words, the smile on Manager Wei's face gradually disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Wei said again

"In this way, we each take a step back, 30 million yuan, this is my last bottom line, if your company does not agree, then I can only express regret, I will continue to hold this domain name."

Listening to Gu Wei's words, Manager Wei frowned, and then got up and said

"Mr. Gu, wait a minute, the matter is big, and I still have to communicate with the headquarters."

"No problem, please, you can repeat what I just said to your company's executives. I'm here waiting for your results. As he spoke, he picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip slowly

"Okay, thank you for your understanding." As he spoke, Manager Wei beckoned the two colleagues who came with him to go out.

Gu Wei tasted tea leisurely in the room, and after drinking, Manager Zhang was on the side to continue in time.

After about 10 minutes, the door of the conference room opened again, and Manager Wei walked in with his people.

"Congratulations, Mr. Gu, our CEO personally agreed to your offer, and our company will purchase the domain name rights and copyrights in your hands at a price of 30 million yuan."

Gu Wei slowly put down the tea ceremony

"A wise choice."

Soon, with the professional services of the intermediary company and the help of Jingdong personnel, the procedures were quickly completed.

All handovers for both parties have been completed.

Gu Wei personally shook hands with Manager Wei.

"Mr. Gu, our CEO asked me to ask you one thing, whether you are willing to come to our company, he will definitely give you a platform to give full play to your abilities."

Gu Wei smiled

"I have also been known for the president of your company for a long time, and I don't have to work, maybe there will be other crossings between us in the future.

There is another thing I would like to ask Manager Wei, can I entrust your company's finance to help me pay my taxes for this transaction. ”

Manager Wei listened and said

"It's all a small thing, but it's a pity that I can't work with you in the future."

The money for the domain name arrived quickly, and there was still 24 million yuan left after deducting taxes, and the cost of the intermediary company was the responsibility of the buyer and no other care.

With this 24 million, a lot of investment can be done now.

-----------------

At the beginning of 2012, one of the biggest investment opportunities in the global market was the purchase of bitcoin.

From 2009, when Satoshi Nakamoto first mined Bitcoin, it was worthless, to 2010, when the American programmer Lasler exchanged 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas, equivalent to the market price of $30, that is, at that time, the value of 1 bitcoin was $0.003.

Then, in less than a year, in 2011, on the world's largest bitcoin trading platform, Mt. Gox, the value of 1 bitcoin reached a record of $31.9 at its peak.

However, in the second half of 2011, the Mt. Gox platform broke out in a hacking incident, and the security of the digital currency was questioned by investors. The value of bitcoin has plummeted, and in February 2012, bitcoin had fallen below $2.

This is the best time to start with Bitcoin since 2009.

Of course, Gu Wei will not miss this opportunity.

The total number of bitcoins is 21 million, and this one is fixed.

The number that survived during this time period probably did not exceed 10 million.

Gu Wei is not greedy, virtual currency, if you buy more, you will become a banker, and if the banker can't buy a big head, he will naturally change to a currency to speculate.

Therefore, the most important thing to make money with the general trend is to quit greed.

With the strength of the good wind, it sent me to the clouds.

If it becomes the wind, then it depends on whether you have the ability to blow upwards.

Gu Wei is very self-aware in this regard, he just wants to be a pig standing in the wind, just take advantage of the situation.

After spending a few days on the platform, Gu Wei bought 100,000 bitcoins one after another, and the price of bitcoin he bought rose slightly.

A total of nearly 2 million RMB was spent.

Gu Wei didn't bother, divided these bitcoins into N parts, stored them in cold wallets, and then went to the bank to open a safe deposit box business.

Store both the hard drive and the USB flash drive in the safe, and you're good to go.

When the price of bitcoin rises, how much money is needed, just take out the corresponding amount of bitcoin and sell it.
