Twenty minutes later, Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong, one on the left and the other on the right, dragged Mr. Li out with weak legs.
Pei Qian hurriedly handed over the tea: "Mr. Li, drink hot water quickly."
Li Shi slumped down on the chair, took the tea cup with both hands and took a sip, but his pale face did not improve at all.
"Mr. Li, are you feeling better?" Pei Qian asked with concern.
Li Shi waved his hands feebly, not even having the strength to speak.
How terrible!
Li Shi just thought very simply, wouldn't it be just half an hour? Wouldn't he get through it as soon as he gritted his teeth?
And he also played a trick with Mr. Pei, saying "persist in this project" rather than "pass the level", which means that as long as you persist to the end, even if you don't complete the challenges, you will be considered a victory.
However, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.
After Li Shi entered, he was frightened half to death in the first project. By the time he persisted in the fourth project, he could no longer bear it. His legs became weak and he gave up on the spot. Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong rescued him.
Li Shi, who was still in shock, had only one thought in his mind: Never underestimate Mr. Pei at any time!
Take this haunted house challenge as an example. On the surface it doesn’t look scary, the process is not long, and there are no staff pretending to be ghosts, but when you are actually there, it is enough to scare people half to death!
Thinking back carefully, these projects are indeed not complicated, but they are full of various psychological implications.
To put it bluntly, we are trying our best to make tourists scare themselves!
I have to say, the effect is outstanding.
Mr. Li held the teacup with trembling hands, feeling that he had been waking up from his dreams for at least a month.
The head with blood and tears on the ceiling, the mirror in the bathroom, the rustling TV in the dark living room...
These are common scenes at home, but they left a deep psychological shadow on him.
Seeing that Mr. Li, who always presented himself as a mature man with a successful career, was so frightened that he looked like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, Pei Qian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Hey, although Mr. Li has tried to ruin my good deeds five times and three times, in fact, he just wants to make some money. The crime will not lead to death."
"In order to follow my words, I even went to experience such a scary haunted house. I feel a little sorry."
Pei Qian thought that he could temporarily cross out Mr. Li's name in his notebook, oh no, put it back for now.
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your hard work. Your feedback on the haunted house is of great significance to us!"
"Anyway, thank you very much!" Pei Qian's expression was extremely sincere.
Li Shi's pale face showed some confusion: "Ah? What did I give back?"
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "Your screams are the best feedback."
"To express my gratitude, I decided to tell you about the Xuebao project."
"Yes, Dream Ventures is selling Xueba Kuai Lai's shares. This is my decision, and I hope you will sell your shares as soon as possible. This is what I say from the bottom of my heart, and there is absolutely no lie!"
Pei Qian said it very sincerely.
There is no lie in this. Pei Qian is indeed selling shares, and he does hope that others will sell all their shares as well.
But he hid his true intention: he hoped that top students would come to this project and lose money.
In this way, Mr. Li will definitely think that Pei Qian is going to sell out all his shares and cash out, so he will naturally follow suit. When all investors sense that the trend is wrong, they will naturally sell out together.
In fact, Pei Qian plans to keep as many shares as possible in his hands, so that when the project fails, these shares will become worthless.
In this way, even if the project does not lose much, it can be regarded as stopping the loss in time and not making too much money.
Li Shi carefully observed Pei Qian's expression and nodded after a long time: "I understand. In this case, I will also sell my shares."
Pei Qian couldn't help but smile.
Done!
Mr. Li now owns more than 20% of the shares. Selling them together with Yuanmeng Venture Capital will definitely send a very clear message to other investors and make their confidence in this project collapse instantly!
If everything goes well, Mr. Li should be able to make some profit from selling his shares.
No one suffered a loss, it was perfect!
…
Afternoon, Fuhui Capital.
Li Shi was in his office, closing his eyes and meditating.
I was quite frightened at the Panic Hostel in the morning, but I couldn’t delay my work.
The information gained in exchange for one's life should be reliable.
Mr. Pei said that Yuan Meng Venture Capital was selling Xueba Kuai Lai's shares, which was indeed his intention. He also suggested that Li Shi sell the shares together, so it was probably not a lie.
Li Shi decided after careful consideration.
Sell!
But how to sell it specifically needs to be carefully considered.
The transfer of shares in an unlisted company generally requires internal transfer first. That is to say, if internal shareholders are willing to invest in the purchase, they usually have priority.
If no one subscribes internally, external shareholders will need to be introduced with the approval of the shareholders' meeting.
In other words, if Li Shi wants to sell shares, all shareholders will know about it as soon as possible.
The shares sold by Mr. Pei were basically eaten up by these shareholders, and no external shareholders were introduced.
However, Mr. Pei did not sell many shares, so these shareholders were just suspicious, but did not feel that Mr. Pei was really going to run away.
However, Li Shi wanted to sell more than 20% of his shares. His intention to run away was so obvious that it was impossible for other shareholders not to notice it!
Many of these investors followed Li Shi after seeing him invest in this project. Now that Mr. Pei and Mr. Li are selling their shares together, it will definitely cause panic among other investors. By then, everyone will want to sell and will lose confidence in this project.
Then the company's valuation will collapse in an instant!
If we really get to that point, even if all the shares in Li Shi's hands are sold, I'm afraid he won't be able to make much money.
Therefore, Li Shi felt that it would not work this way.
A total of four million has been invested in such a good project, but if it is thrown around like this, the selling price will definitely get lower and lower.
In the end, after a lot of hard work, you can make hundreds of thousands?
I can’t afford to lose this person!
Therefore, you have to sell it, but you definitely can’t sell it like this!
Thinking of this, Li Shi found the contact information of several other investors and planned to make an appointment to hold a small conference call.
Soon, several other investors responded one after another, and the time was set in an hour.
Li Shi took this time to sort out his thoughts and write down all the key points to be discussed later.
…
An hour later, everyone was present and the conference call was held on time.
"Mr. Li, what's so urgent?" asked an investor on the phone who was a top student in the project.
Li Shi didn't intend to waste time and went straight to the point: "Mr. Pei should be planning to cash out and leave the market. I am also planning to sell all my shares."
There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then there was a questioning voice.
"ah?"
"What? Are you sure?"
"Now?"
"Where did the news come from? Is it reliable?"
Obviously, most investors are skeptical about this and instinctively do not want to believe it.
Because the current situation of Xueba Qilai is good, although a lot of money has been burned, all the money burned has been exchanged for data!
If you continue to burn like this, as long as it is listed on the market, the profits of all investors will be doubled many times!
This project is far from going downhill, but it is running away now? This seems a bit unreasonable.
Li Shi said calmly: "I don't need to lie to you. If you think about it carefully, everyone has seen the popularity of the Xueba Kuai Lai project. Isn't this the best time to cash out?"
"What's more, do you really think this project can be listed on the market? Even if it can, how long will it take and how much will it cost? The company must operate for at least three years before it is qualified to be listed on the market!"
"If Mr. Pei keeps insisting, then I have no doubt that this company will be listed in three years. But now that Mr. Pei is withdrawing, do you think this project can continue for three years?"
"At the current rate of burning money, how much money will it cost in three years? Which of you has so much money to burn? If you continue to raise funds, who of you can guarantee that you can find enough successors in the future?"
"Have you ever thought about what to do if all the money is burned?"
The phone fell into silence again.
Obviously, most investors also agree with Mr. Li’s view.
The reason why this project is reliable is entirely because of Mr. Pei; but if Mr. Pei abandons it and his confidence collapses, then this project will have only one ending, and that is, it will be doomed!
After a long time, a voice came from the phone.
"Mr. Li, why are you telling us this?"
The implication is, shouldn't you just keep quiet about getting rich now and sell your shares first?
Now that everyone has been notified, everyone is selling together. The outside world's confidence in this project has collapsed instantly. Everyone is rushing to sell shares to break the bank, and no one can benefit!
Li Shi smiled: "What I mean is, since you have decided to sell, you must not sell it so stupidly."
"The cheaper an item is sold, the less likely it will be wanted. But if the price is raised as high as possible, a lot of people will grab it."
"Now that we want to maximize our own interests, the best way is not to sell out in a panic, but to continue to hype up the project, then find a suitable buyer and sell all the shares 'reluctantly' at a high price."
Give it!"
There was a burst of approval on the phone immediately.
An investor pondered for a moment and then said: "Speaking of this... Mr. Li, a former vice president of Xude Education once showed a strong interest in the Xueba Kuailai project and wanted to buy my shares. I
I hesitated for a moment and haven’t given him a reply yet.”
Mr. Li smiled slightly: "It sounds like this is the 'suitable buyer'."
After hanging up the phone, Li Shi already had a plan in mind.
Now, all investors are like grasshoppers on the same rope. Their interests are exactly the same. They all want to sell their shares at a high price as much as possible, so there is no need to worry about anyone leaking secrets.
Next, everyone will work together to find ways to continue to promote the Xueba Qilai project and make this project more attractive to Xude Education.
Then... in order to become the major shareholder of Xueba Kuilai, Xude Education will definitely continue to acquire shares, and Li Shi and others can take the opportunity to cash out at a high position.
As for moral education...
Li Shi didn't have a good impression of this educational institution.
The name of Xude Education seems to be very serious, but in fact it is full of bad records. It makes false propaganda and false promises during the enrollment process, and the salesperson plays multiple identities. It can be said that they do anything to make money.
However, such a company has achieved huge scale by relying on its ubiquitous publicity campaign and marketing skills training for new sales positions.
Many students are not familiar with the world, and their parents are also deceived by the marketing rhetoric of Xude Education because of their eagerness to "hope that their children will succeed." Once the money is paid, it is extremely difficult to get a refund.
Li Shi asked himself that he could not be a philanthropist like Mr. Pei, who earned every penny cleanly and took on as many social responsibilities as possible, such as providing money to engage in headwind logistics.
But he still looked down upon Xude Education's despicable behavior of "cheating students out of money."
Li Shi will never feel any guilt for letting such a company that makes shady money take over.
