Empty Bottle Capital is a gift from Huangfu Baobao to Chen Shi. It is a venture capital company. A group of people put their money in this venture capital company, and then the venture capital company invests, and the returns are distributed to this group of investors.
The reason why this group of investors gave money to Chen Shiwan was mainly because there were two shareholders, Huangfu Baobao and Zhu Tiancheng. I don’t need to go into details, but everyone understands this.
There are currently 20 billion US dollars in book capital, real cash flow, a very scary figure, and some general venture capital companies will also invest in individuals to do venture capital.
For example, those venture capital firms on Wall Street gave some money to some Chinese people, and then asked them to use the money to invest. Everyone is familiar with a certain Dong. The largest venture capitalist at that time seemed to be very visionary. Brother Dong wanted 20 million.
US dollars, people gave him US$300 million, not because of how powerful the investor was, but because of how powerful the venture capital firm behind the investor was.
When investing, I had already made a comprehensive risk control report. I knew that 20 million US dollars was simply not enough, and 300 million US dollars was about the same, so I directly gave 300 million US dollars in one lump sum.
The first is to dilute the shares, and the second is to let Dongdong quickly occupy the market. Why did Dong Ge only need 20 million US dollars back then? The main reason is that he does not want the shares to be diluted too much. 20 million US dollars may alleviate the problem and overcome the difficulties, but
The investor gives you three hundred million dollars. You have to take it if you don’t want it. If you don’t want it, I won’t invest in you. If you do, give me the shares. I will be the major shareholder. The shares are still yours, but I want the majority of the shares.
Later, the major shareholder sold the shares to another venture capital company, known to everyone as Penguin. Penguin spent tens of billions of dollars to acquire a large part of the shares of Dongdong and became the largest shareholder. At that time, the investment company made huge profits.
.
Investing in a company is actually about buying and selling, buying first and then selling. And the capital market with 20 billion US dollars is not a big player. Capital investment with 100 billion US dollars is a lot, more than everyone thinks.
Companies with over 100 billion U.S. dollars in capital basically have global layouts, and Huangfu Baobao gave Chen Shi 2% of the shares. This 2% is actually quite a lot. It is equivalent to giving you 400 million U.S. dollars in vain, and it also has
Give you the opportunity to use this money to practice.
But Chen Shi's family wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Huangfu Baobao and Zhu Tiancheng, and directly invested an additional 10 billion U.S. dollars in the venture capital company, turning Chen Shi's employment relationship into a partnership relationship, and he was the largest shareholder, with a personal investment of hundreds of millions.
100 million.
At present, Empty Bottle Capital has a cash flow of US$30 billion. If Huangfu Baobao had not taken the lead, it would not have been able to attract so much funds, and it would have been impossible for Chen Shi to control the venture capital money.
This money was just for Chen Shi to play with, and someone knew the truth, but Chen Shi's family's spending of ten billion US dollars was also a precaution and a very real problem. If something happened to Huangfu Baobao's family, Zhu Tiancheng's family would also suffer a setback.
The investors behind the scenes can kick Chen Shi out at any time, but if Chen Shi is the major shareholder, then they are not afraid of this. This is a kind of insurance, and the money invested by Chen Shi's family was not directly invested in Chen Shi's name.
It is invested in an overseas trust. Even if Chen Shi has something, nothing will happen to the money. This is another layer of insurance.
In short, this venture capital company was prepared for Chen Shi.
Magic City.
Chen Shi, wearing a gray suit, white shirt, and black leather shoes, stood outside the World Financial Office Building. He glanced at the building with no roof visible. The 7th to 77th floors here are the office areas, and the 77th to 101st floors are the hotels.
Below the 7th floor are shopping malls and parking lots.
The elevators in the office area and the hotel area are separate, and you need to swipe your card to enter each area, just like the security gate of the subway.
The front side facing the road is the shopping mall passage, the side facing the road is the hotel passage, and the inside side facing the small road is the office passage.
Chen Shi walked into the passage of the office building and swiped his card to enter. There were a total of twelve elevators, all of which were in neat suits. It is said that the minimum salary for office workers in this office building is 211, and the lowest monthly salary is 20,000, and that of security guards and cleaning ladies is 1
They all earn 18,000 yuan a month.
One floor of an office building here is 600 square meters, and the rent is based on square meters. One square meter is calculated based on the floor. The lowest office building on the seventh floor is 14 yuan per square meter, and the office building above the 30th floor is 20 yuan per square meter. For example, if it is 600 square meters, the rent per day is
The annual rent of one floor of 12,000 to several million is not surprising here.
This office building is basically home to financial and technology companies. It is not surprising to see the names of big companies here. Shanghai is currently the third financial city in the world, behind New York and London in terms of money. There are thousands of people here every day.
With trillions of transactions, every big company will set up a branch in Shanghai.
The main business is financing, mergers and acquisitions, and everyone is together. For example, in this office building, the seventh floor is a branch of a certain company. This company is not very profitable now, and the company headquarters on the eighth floor will make the company
People go to the seventh floor to ask if they need financing, or the seventh floor goes to the 70th floor to make an appointment to meet and see if they want to acquire it.
Just to give an example, they may not necessarily be in the same office building, but they must be in the same city. It is convenient to meet and they are all face-to-face. This is a circle, a financial circle. Everyone is in the same circle.
This is also the reason why many companies must open a branch in Shanghai, and the branch is not small in size. The rent may be higher than the rent of their main factory, but they still have to rent it just to be in this circle.
The purpose is to get the resources you want quickly.
Chen Shi walked into the elevator. A group of people stood in the elevator very indifferently. It was very quiet. No one was whispering to each other. At each floor, the people going down represented the level of the company. It was very realistic here. The admission standard for those below the tenth floor was basically 211.
, there are many 985 students above the 30th floor, and many among the top 20 schools in the world above the 50th floor.
This is just like seeing someone from Qingbei pouring coffee and breakfast for your boss in an office building near Zhongguancun, the imperial capital. You won't find it strange, because everyone in this circle is from Qingbei, so you won't think anyone is special.
Chen Shi's Empty Bottle Capital was on the 72nd floor. After reaching the 60th floor, there were fewer and fewer people in the elevator. A dignified-looking woman glanced at Chen Shi and asked, "I haven't seen you before. Which floor are you on?"
"It's from the 72nd floor. I just came here. It's from Empty Bottle Capital." Chen Shi said.
"My name is Amy. I live on the 70th floor. I work for Hongtu Financial. I would like to have tea if I have a chance." The other party took out a business card and gave it to Chen Shi. Chen Shi also took out his own business card and gave it to her. The other party saw what was written on Chen Shi's business card.
After receiving the professional title, the attitude suddenly changed from that of an equal to that of a superior and a subordinate.
"Mr. Chen, I'm leaving first. I have a chance to drink tea." Amy walked out of the elevator and waved to Chen Shi, showing a smile.
There were three people left in the elevator. They looked at Chen Shi very strangely. Chen Shi didn't understand their looks. He walked out of the elevator and swiped his card to enter Empty Bottle Capital. He came suddenly and didn't say hello to anyone.
The 600-square-meter office hall is a corridor, a public office area. There are several offices on both sides of the corridor. A single office is only about ten square meters. Most people are in the public office area. Each area has partitions.
There are four or five office spaces in the partition.
This represents a group, usually two to three groups of managers sitting in the office. In the middle is a public area with a copy area, a database, and a water bar area. It occupies about 150 square meters. This middle area
The area is divided into two office areas, each area has four groups, and each group is responsible for different categories of investment projects.
There are people who are responsible for new energy, there are people who are responsible for technology, and there are people who are responsible for agriculture, etc. As mentioned earlier, this is charged on a square meter basis. An ordinary employee sitting in a public office area occupies about five or six square meters, and a month
The cost is only three to four thousand, but with the value of about ten square meters per person, it is about six thousand a month.
And there are people sitting in the office with an area of about 20 square meters, plus the public area is 30 square meters, because the area they occupy in a month is less than 20,000, and their salary is basically 100,000 a month.
, this is their value.
Why can those sitting in cubicles occupy ten more square meters of the public area? Because they can stay in the public area twice or twice as long as other people.
There are about forty people working on the first floor. There are four major departments and eight groups on this floor. The people in each cubicle are responsible for two groups, about ten people. Including the general manager, there are eleven people in total.
Not much, but these eleven people invest about ten to two billion projects every year, which equals one to two billion if divided equally among one person.
The people who sit in the office in the public area earn an average of 30,000 yuan a month. There is a deputy general manager in one group who is responsible for leading projects, finding suitable projects, and reporting them to the general manager in the cubicle for review. There is no problem with the review.
After sending it to the risk control department for review, the risk control department will send the review data back if there are any problems.
Don't look at the fact that these people don't have much room to stretch out here. Each person only has about ten square meters. But if this group of people leaves here and goes to some third- and fourth-tier cities, they can sit in an office with an area of thirty or forty square meters, but they don't
They are willing to leave here because of the opportunity and the circle. It is very likely that they can earn tens of millions from one order. This group of people sell houses in Shanghai. If they are quick, they may buy it in one year. If they are slow, they can buy a house in three to five years.
It’s a down payment and it’s in a relatively good location.
This is the reason why this group of people stay. You can see at a glance that there are at least ten people here from Oxford and Harvard, and most of them are from colleges and universities such as Qingbei and Qingbei.
Students, first of all, have no problem with their IQ and their ability to learn quickly. The main thing is whether they can adapt to the world. This is their emotional intelligence.
There is a story about a pig farm circulating on the Internet. That is, a pig farm recruits people such as Qingbei to resume diplomatic relations. They will pay 50,000 yuan a month and 30,000 yuan a month the next time. However, they only give 20,000 yuan to veterinary students in a key school.
Wanwu, many people have questioned, these students who resumed diplomatic relations in Qingbei do not know how to raise pigs, why do you give them so much salary?
The boss's answer is also interesting. First of all, these people have strong learning ability. If they don't know how to raise pigs, I will teach them step by step. They will learn it very quickly. They are worth 50,000 yuan. However, this theory is still persuaded by many wives. Highly educated bosses
The circle also thinks so.
In the final analysis, this group of Qingbei resumed diplomatic relations have very high IQs and sufficient knowledge reserves. However, the reason why many of these people did not survive is that they are also high-spirited. If something goes wrong in a company, they feel that their colleagues are jealous of them.
, if my colleagues are not good enough, I will change jobs. The next company may not be satisfactory, so I will continue to change jobs.
The top academics who can really get ahead know that everything in school is not important. You have to start from scratch when you enter the workplace. If you are in a high-end circle, you are nothing, so this group of people prefer to go to some independent places.
There is a lot to learn from horn companies, because their old employees and leaders are basically all top academics, and their base salary may not be as high as some small businesses, but they don’t care, what they want is experience and waiting, unicorn companies
Beast business can easily make you famous and rich overnight, and the probability is very high because there are many opportunities.
Chen Shi came in and attracted some people's attention. The company was buzzing with people talking on the phone, discussing, and quarreling. It was hard to imagine that this group of people would work in such an environment.
"Who are you looking for?" the front desk officer came over and asked.
"I'm looking for your Mr. Ma, my name is Chen Shi." Chen Shi said with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Chen! Mr. Ma has asked you to come and ask Mr. Li to entertain you. Please wait a moment. I will contact you soon. Mr. Ma has gone out to verify a project." The front desk dialed a number. Soon, there was someone in the cubicle.
One of them opened the door, and a man in his early fifties came over and looked at Chen Shi and said, "Hello, Mr. Chen, why didn't you say anything when you came? I'll take you upstairs."
Chen Shi found it very interesting that these people were so close to each other and they were all communicating on the phone. It seemed that the people outside the office were in a different world from the people in the office.
What surprised Chen Shi even more was what happened later. The middle-aged man, Mr. Li, took Chen Shi to the public rest area. There were actually two elevators in there. Chen Shi went in and found that the elevators were written one, two, three, which meant there were three floors.
"Why are there three floors?" Chen Shi asked curiously.
"Mr. Chen, my name is Li Daohe, and I am the manager of the third department. The 72nd floor is the public office area, the 73rd floor is the conference room and risk control department, the 74th floor is your office, and the first floor is your office and rest area.
A private reception room and dining room for you." Li Daohe said.
When Chen Shi heard this, he said, "I'll give it to you. One floor is 600 square meters. In this place where land is so valuable, one person can live on one floor. Is there anything wrong? This is too extravagant. What do you think? Do you have money?"
Has the place been spent?
Li Daohe first took Chen Shi to visit the 73rd floor. The decoration was different. It was much different than the 72nd floor. There was a 100-square-meter conference room on this floor, and four small conference rooms of 30 square meters each.
, for four departments, and there is a glass door partition in the middle of this floor. There is also a front desk in front of the glass door. Chen Shi swiped his card to open the glass door.
I found that this is the risk control department. There are four offices responsible for reviewing the risk control projects of the four departments. Each office is about 40 square meters, and there are four or five people working inside. It is very quiet.
There was a 30-square-meter office with a single person in the back. It belonged to the general manager of the risk control department. Chen Shi knocked on the door and heard from inside: "Come in."
