Chapter 428 Guiding the maze, the god of investment
0%?
Doesn’t that mean this investment is destined to fail?
Seeing this, Lin Chen quickly asked Ivanka for some information and took a look.
Although I can't understand the text on the information, this information is accompanied by many well-made pictures, and the pictures are extremely detailed and rich. Even an English illiterate like Lin Chen can almost understand it through half guessing and half confusion.
What exactly is this project about?
Simply put, this investment project is a juicer, but this juicer needs to use a special compressed material package. By putting the compressed material into the juicer, users can drink juice without cutting the fruit.
, there is no need to clean the juicer.
To be honest, this kind of thing can be used to defraud investors?
Lin Chen really didn't understand the strange thinking of foreigners.
No wonder the success rate I saw was 0%!
"Dear, I suggest you not to apply for this project." Lin Chen then said.
"Why?" Ivanka was a little surprised.
"Because this project may fail." Lin Chen said.
"Really? You also know this through fortune telling?"
"What are you talking about?"
Taylor took off her sunglasses and came over. When she saw the juicer on the information, Taylor exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? Is this Juicero?"
"Do you know him?" Lin Chen said.
"Yes! My investment adviser also mentioned this company's products to me recently, saying that they were doing the first round of financing and asked me if I wanted to invest. My dear, do you think this company can't be built?"
"right."
Seeing Lin Chen nodding, Taylor immediately said to Ivanka: "Ivanka, you'd better listen more to Lin Chen when it comes to investment. He is not just a gambling god. In China, the two companies he invested in are
All with great success!”
"But..." Ivanka still didn't believe it: "Lin, as far as I know about this company, many people are optimistic about it? I heard that senior officials from Google and many venture capital companies in Silicon Valley have already
I plan to invest, even Bill Gai is interested..."
Taylor also nodded and said: "Yes, and this company's juicer is not just about making juice. I heard that this juicer can also be connected to the Internet..."
Lin Chen couldn't help but interrupt these two gullible women and said, "Well, let me ask you, haven't you noticed that this company's products are just using machines to package materials?
Are the ingredients squeezed into juice?”
"But if that's the case, then can't I just buy his material package and squeeze it with my own hands?"
"Use, with your hands?"
"Yes, look at the design of this juicer. It just uses a squeeze plate to squeeze the material package. If that's the case, as long as I have more strength, can't I still squeeze out the juice?"
"It's such a crappy thing, and it's actually going to be sold for...$700? Is your money really that easy to make?"
Ivanka and Taylor were left speechless by Lin Chen.
Because they also suddenly discovered that Lin Chen was indeed right. This project was essentially just an ordinary machine that could squeeze material packages, and it had no technical content at all.
This kind of thing is now claiming to raise US$100 million in the first round of financing... (Real case, sometimes foreigners are so stupid)
"Well, they all say that pregnant women will become stupid, and I seem to have really become stupid." Ivanka said with a frustrated look.
Taylor's eyes widened...Ivanka can still be said to be pregnant, so what should she do?
Lin Chen smiled and kissed Ivanka's forehead, and then pulled Taylor over for a kiss.
"You two fools, if you want to invest, why don't you come to me? In fact, my talent in investing is stronger than gambling."
"Really?" As soon as Ivanka opened her mouth, she realized that her suspicion seemed a bit unnecessary, because Taylor had already mentioned the investment miracle Lin Chen created in China.
Whether it is a mobile phone company he acquired or an e-commerce company he invested in, they have now achieved brilliant success.
Especially the products of Lin Chen’s mobile phone company have now been sold to the other side of the ocean. Ivanka is currently using Warwick’s Jazz 1 model. Taylor is also using it, and she is still using her joint commemorative version.
Therefore, there is no doubt about Lin Chen's ability. At least Ivanka's investment advisors do not have the ability to create a company with billions of dollars in revenue in half a year.
"Okay, then Lin... just help me take a look?"
Lin Chen first roughly understood Ivanka’s situation.
Ivanka doesn't actually have much money in her hands right now, probably only tens of millions of dollars, which is why she initially considered the fraudulent juicer project. That project really didn't require much investment.
In addition, because Ivanka will need to hide in California for a long time due to her pregnancy, she also hopes that the company she invests in will be near California, so that she can often understand the company's situation.
Lin Chen thought about it and asked Ivanka's investment consultant to send information about companies in California that needed investment recently, as well as information about some well-known companies in California, and then made a choice for her.
Here, Lin Chen doesn't even need his own abilities, because in this company list, there are several names that are completely familiar to him who has memories of his previous life.
However, considering the differences between the two worlds, Lin Chen still used his own ability to check and confirm their investment value, and then suggested that Ivanka invest in these project companies.
The first investment target is a technology company that aims to develop and operate a taxi-hailing software APP. This company is currently raising venture capital funds and has raised nearly US$50 million so far.
The name of this company is UBER, and in the future its Chinese name will be called Youbu.
Lin Chen's investment advice to Ivanka was to directly spend US$50 million, which is equivalent to half of the funds raised by the company now, and strive to obtain 50% of the company, or at least 30% of the shares.
"Fifty million? Lin Chen, is this too much? They have only raised less than 50 million in total now?"
"It's because of this that once we spend 50 million US dollars, we can get such a high share."
"But... is this company really worth our investment?"
Lin Chen smiled, was it worth it?
He didn't know if he answered truthfully, would he frighten Ivanka?
Because in his last life, just two years later, Youbu's market value reached US$12.8 billion!
In two years, its market value will exceed $60 billion!
It is the largest taxi-hailing software in the world outside of China and Xiaxia!
"Ivanka, those of you who have private cars, don't underestimate people's need to be able to hail a taxi anytime, anywhere."
