The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

Su Zi alone has put the entire company on edge.

As a boss, no matter which company you work for, the most important thing is to be responsible for three things.

They are finding money, finding people, and finding direction.

It can be said that as long as these three things are done well, the company will basically be doing well.

Su Zi certainly wanted to schedule a time with the Dream Realization Foundation, but unfortunately, she didn't have anyone to introduce her to them.

In the end, she used her family connections, and the Su family was able to provide her with 300 million yuan to start a business.

It's impossible to say you don't have some connections or background; in crucial moments, you still have to rely on your family.

This is exactly the same as when Tencent asked its parent company for connections to secure investment from Li Hong Kong.

The only pity is that Li's son from Hong Kong sold his 20% stake in Tencent too early.

When he made a profit of over ten million US dollars, he sold all of his 20% stake in Big Penguin.

Through family connections, Su Zi was able to meet with a vice president of the investment department at Yuanmeng Fund.

The specific time for the meeting will be set three days from now.

The larger the investment company, the less need there is for a cocktail party. She only needs to bring the project plan and the team to give a presentation.

Whether or not to invest is naturally up to their investment department.

The specific amount to be invested is also decided by them.

Su Zi urgently convened the entire company, holding meetings every day, all for the sake of winning the battle three days later.

This day was so important to her.

Chen Pingsheng, as usual, picked her up and dropped her off from get off work. However, on the way, Su Zi held a document in her hand and said with some anticipation:

"Old Chen, do you know there's another important person with the same name as you?"

"There are quite a few people with the same name as me!"

"There are quite a few, but only the one from Shanghai can truly be considered a legend. Actually, I saw him once from afar when I was on Wall Street. He is an idol of many overseas students and an investment god of Chinese capital on Wall Street. If this project is successful, I will probably be able to meet him."

Is he really that amazing? Chen Pingsheng shook his head.

He's really just an ordinary person; without the help of the "golden finger" master, he might still be just an ordinary person.

To succeed, one needs both the opportunities of the times and one's own luck.

"President Su, you're quite capable too. No matter what happens now, your time might come in the future."

"My era?" Su Zi opened the car window a crack, a gentle breeze caressing her delicate face. Her eyes held both determination and lingering doubt.

Perhaps it was because of the report she was scheduled to give three days later that she lacked confidence.

Even with all her preparations, it was still the same.

After all, the opponents she chose this time were indeed too strong.

It was far beyond her ability to handle, and completely beyond her current control.

Once the decision is made to undertake this project, all of her company's human and material resources will be invested in it.

Su Zi felt that she had made the right choice in hiring Chen Pingsheng as her driver.

He was a man of few words, but he always managed to get to the point, which made Su Zi feel that Chen Pingsheng was a man with a story to tell.

She simply didn't like asking about other people's private affairs, so naturally she wouldn't talk to him too much.

The two of them would only exchange a few words occasionally in the car.

After dropping Su Zi off at home, Chen Pingsheng ran into Mo Yao on his way back to the neighborhood.

She also really hoped that President Su could successfully secure the investment from the Dream Fund, since the company's benefits were indeed quite good.

If they fail to secure this funding, it means that the company's efforts over the past few months, and even its biggest opportunity, will slip away.

They will never have the chance to compete with the giants again.

If we're talking about the least stressed person in the whole company, it's probably Chen Pingsheng, who's quite relaxed.

In a couple of days, he'll definitely be accompanying them to the Dream Realization Foundation as their driver. The people here may not know him, but the people at the Dream Realization Foundation certainly do.

He wanted to hide his identity over there, but it was simply impossible.

Anyone who has worked at the Dream Building for more than five years has undoubtedly seen him.

After all, he used to hold an annual meeting every year and would often come to Guangdong to inspect work.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

Time flew by, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Zi scheduled the presentation for the Dream Fund for 2 PM. At that time, a vice president of the fund, along with three investment managers, would listen to Su Zi's report on the financing of the AI ​​chat project.

This was only because Su Zi's father had pulled some strings; otherwise, so many managers and even a president wouldn't have been mobilized.

For projects beyond that, Chu Qiuyan herself would have to make the decisions.

When it comes to raising funds for a startup, it's not just about the project itself, but also about background and connections.

Over the past few years, Su Zi has accomplished quite a lot.

She has helped many investors make money, but she has never actually taken a project from scratch to a market value of tens of billions.

This is similar to when an HR person asks an intern during a job interview, "Do you have any work experience?"

The intern said, "If you don't give me work, how can I gain experience?"

The reason why the Dream Fund enjoys such a high commercial status in Guangdong is not only due to its connections, but also, most importantly, due to the past fifteen years.

It has achieved great success in traditional fields, short video fields, as well as big health and AI projects.

The shares of the listed groups under its control are all worth at least hundreds of billions.

They own countless large-scale projects that are not yet publicly listed.

This is not something that can be achieved overnight; it is an absolute investment position that can only be built up bit by bit over fifteen years.

Su Zi brought a dozen or so staff members with her, along with Chen Pingsheng's Maybach and two Toyota minivans.

The Dream Fund is also located in Baiyun District, not too far from the headquarters of Tengyou Media.

This area also includes An'an's current headquarters of Tengying Group.

These three companies have formed a powerful alliance here.

To encompass capital, traffic, and various aspects of the real economy in its business.

From the outside, the headquarters building of the Dream Foundation stands in the heart of a bustling commercial center.

The building has 68 floors and employs no fewer than 5,000 people, including the management team.

Realizing your dreams involves more than just investing.

It owns at least fifty listed companies.

In Su Zi's words, "When you arrive at this place, you always feel a sense of awe and reverence."

Stepping into this spot truly brings you the fulfillment of your dreams, just like the two words inside.

To fulfill the dreams of talented people all over the world.

There were three drivers accompanying us, and we arrived here an hour and a half early.

After arriving here, Su Zi began to lead all the staff in an emergency review.

Use the last hour or so to ensure that the key points of the speech are covered without reservation within 15 minutes.

For her, this was an opportunity even more important than the first three years of entrepreneurship.

Mo Yao was quite concerned about Chen Pingsheng and specially asked him to find a place to rest first.

He's just a driver; he doesn't need to go up with them.

It was only after leaving their group that Chen Pingsheng headed to the Dream Building, which he hadn't visited in the past four or five years.
