Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 176 Chapter 175, Bluffing is also a basic skill (4K, please subscribe!)
After Gu Tong sat down, she was actually a little surprised. The guest list stated that Lin Chu was a well-known individual investor. However, as an insider in the investment circle, she had specifically checked it out, but had no impression of this person at all.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I am shocked by how young he is.

However, being able to become a chartered diamond member of Guanlan Golf Club, at least within the threshold, she did not behave impolitely and seemed quite polite.

After a few pleasantries, they gradually started to chat with each other.

Lin Chu had heard of MQ Investment, a venture capital firm that was quite influential in Pengcheng.

Generally speaking, investment institutions whose names begin with English letters are basically the tentacles of international capital extending into the domestic market. They were very popular in the past ten years.

But now, with the interest rate hike over there and money flowing back, the entire capital market has become depressed.

I guess they are not having a good time either.

There have been frequent incidents of jumping from buildings recently.

But for people at the "partner" level like Gu Tong, life should be relatively comfortable. After all, they have already accumulated wealth. Now there is no increase in wealth, but they can still afford to live off their old capital.

Her status is definitely higher than that of Liu Junfeng, a former veteran in the financial industry. She is probably at the level of the boss of the company where she worked before, or even slightly higher.

Jokingly said: The power of gold, seventh level!
Old willow has a maximum of five sections.

It's nice to make friends.

Investment institutions are brokers of funds, and their business is also to connect people.

"Mr. Lin, do you have any favorite tracks this year?"

Gu Tongyan asked with a smile.

When we sit together and talk, of course we talk about money. Can we also talk about feelings?

I haven't seen Lin Chu's information through public channels, but from the scale of his investment and the track he is in, we can basically get a rough idea of ​​it.

Lin Chu glanced at her and smiled, "No, I bought a house and sold all my stocks."

Ok.

My own stocks were indeed "liquidated".

When I was working before, I lost less than 10,000 yuan in Alipay funds and the stock market. I withdrew all the money a long time ago, and my loss was nearly 1,000 yuan.

The biggest lesson Lin Chu learned was: Is this something I can actually play with?

Even now, Lin Chu has no intention of allocating stocks. He would rather go to the club to look for young models, at least it is fun, or Fang Yanyao, which is beautiful.

If you invest in the stock market, you won’t even know how you lost it after you’ve lost it.

Buy a house?

Gu Tong automatically ignored the stock market. Who didn't lose money this year? However, when she heard about buying a house, her smile froze slightly. She said with a bit of a smile: "The housing market is also falling."

Lin Chu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I bought Taiyi Villa and an overseas island."

In this kind of situation, Lin Chu instinctively didn't want to say that he had invested in a short drama. For a short drama, one could invest hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. It wouldn't show my "fame" and would ruin my reputation.

Gu Tong: Hmm.

Suddenly... I was filled with awe.

Taiyi Villa!
She naturally knew that the top luxury house in Guangzhou was just a small target.

This kind of core real estate in first-tier cities still has value preservation value, and the loss will not be too much, and it is very comfortable even if you live in it yourself.

Overseas island?
That is an area that only financially independent people are qualified to touch. Without a nine-digit net worth, who would dare to touch this?

So, her smile became more enthusiastic: "You are really steady. Well, we have invested in two start-ups in the AL field, but it seems difficult. The data resources are almost monopolized. Even if the model is excellent, it is not that easy to implement it."

She reciprocated by telling her side of the story.

The two of them started chatting back and forth, sentence by sentence.

……

“How many companies have you invested in over the years?”

Lin Chu asked casually, and was quite curious about this matter. In the past ten years, with the flourishing of various industries, such investment institutions have naturally made a lot of profits and occupied the shares of many high-quality companies.
Of course, this information can be found through public channels, but Lin Chu is too lazy to check it out. Isn’t the real owner right here?
I am now developing in this direction and accumulating some sample data.

Gu Tong thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Before, we invested in an average of 15 companies per year, or one company per month. But in the past three years, we have only invested in three companies, or one company per year on average. Sigh... It's hard to live like this."

“Are there any on the market?”

Lin Chu asked again, thinking about something in his mind.

Gu Tong: "Yes, three companies, but we don't make long-term investments. After the listing lock-up period, we basically sell them."

She vaguely felt that Lin Chu seemed to have some business to introduce to her, or had some other needs to be met.

"Ah."

Lin Chu nodded.

After thinking for a while, he said directly: "I have been paying attention to the field of intangible cultural heritage and traditional cultural products recently. I just bought a small workshop of Xiangyunsha. If Mr. Gu knows a master who makes similar Chinese luxury items, he can recommend them to me. Incense, jade, swords... anything with an ancient flavor is fine."

Pei Ming's factory was a coincidence, a blind cat catching a dead mouse.

However, they do not have an "information network", but professional venture capital institutions like them definitely have one.

This model has been proven to be feasible, so it is natural to continue to replicate it.

By then, the path will be extremely clear: first-hand sources of goods, adding one’s own anchor, adding sales or giving rebates.

And it's very full.

When Gu Tong heard this, she was slightly stunned for a moment. This field... is extremely niche and unpopular.

This Mr. Lin is quite a genius.

After all, these things are traditionally contrary to industrialization, and the right to speak has always been in the hands of various foreign families. Whether it is Swiss handmade watches or LV bags, Balenciaga can sell a plastic bag for thousands of yuan...

Culture, aesthetics, consensus, and historical accumulation are the things that generate super high profits.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​making this track?"

She asked with a smile, tentatively and thoughtfully.

Lin Chu made up a reason casually: "My investment philosophy is very simple. I am optimistic about two directions, one is new technology, and the other is luxury goods. New technology is now in a bottleneck globally, so I will definitely look for luxury goods. China does not have its own LV Group yet."

Damn it, no matter whether I can do it or not, I’m just going to brag about it first.

In this kind of occasion, you just have to pretend.

Besides, what you "pretend" are just your thoughts, not the facts, so it's not really pretending.

When Gu Tong heard this, she was actually somewhat moved for a moment and some inspiration was triggered.

In her experience, those who are qualified to say such “the simplest way is the best” words are all real bigwigs. They no longer pay attention to momentary profits and losses and trends, but only to the basic principles of business.

New technology, luxury.

It seems that these two points are Lin Chu’s core investment philosophy.

In an instant, Gu Tong suddenly felt that this young man was really quite capable. There was no right or wrong direction. In the longer term, Chinese luxury goods might not be without opportunities. The current consensus was that the rise of the Eastern powers was unstoppable. Who could tell what it would be like in another 30 years?
Most investment experts believe in "long-termism".

Gu Tong felt that Mr. Lin in front of him was a very sentimental person and, of course, rich.

Of course Lin Chu knew that most of what he said was bragging.

But at this moment, looking at her expression, he probably knew that he had fooled her. In fact, what he said was all some "correct but useless" nonsense. It was mainly because of Taiyi Villa's trick.

When you have money, even if you fart, many people will study it, but in fact, you are just farting casually.

Lin Chu was very clear about this.

But, fooling people... is also a basic skill.

……

Originally, I just wanted to have a simple chat, but after chatting for so long, Gu Tong didn't want to leave.

She has already looked at the guest list. Among the guests present today, there are only three who are investors. The other one is the director of a small institution who is looking for financial sponsors. They have just had a brief chat.

Gu Tong naturally didn't think that this kind of person was on the same level as herself, so she just sat here.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the guests who had registered to participate had arrived.

In fact, there weren't that many people, only about thirty or so, sitting scattered around, each finding their own small circle and chatting with people they were interested in.

Zhu Yixian walked up to the podium, said a few simple words of welcome with a big smile on his face, and then quickly got to the point: "We are the Guanlan Golf Franchise Diamond Member Club. We have a monthly gathering. In addition to everyone sitting together to keep in touch, we also share some special business ideas."

"The person who shared his experience with us today is the founder of a former Nasdaq-listed company. Although his company was delisted two years later due to various reasons, he still built his company from scratch and achieved outstanding results."

"Please give me a round of applause."

Zhu Yixian had a pretty good aura and was very friendly. He took the initiative to applaud first. In such occasions, everyone in the sedan chair praised each other, and for a moment, they all started to applaud.

Lin Chu, who doesn't like to applaud in meetings, couldn't help but clap twice at this moment, his curiosity was aroused.

Started from scratch, listed on the U.S. stock market, and delisted two years later?
"I think I know who it is?"

Gu Tong suddenly said in Lin Chu's ear.

Ok?
Lin Chu turned to look at her, and their eyes met in mid-air: "Who?"

"cough……"

Gu Tong looked a little embarrassed, but soon she became serious and asked, "Is Mr. Lin a straight man?"

"I am definitely a straight man."

Lin Chu naturally responded with a firm voice, but what does this have to do with it?
"Well, no wonder you didn't know. This should be Xiaolan's boss. Xiaolan was the top gay social software in China. They went public in 20 years, but delisted two years later. The boss was kicked out of the company by investors and the CEO, and the company's stock price has been sluggish for a long time."

Gu Tong said this nonchalantly, even with a hint of teasing in her eyes.

Lin Chu: …

My grass?

Is there such a legendary figure?

"I have met this guy once before. He is married and has children, but he doesn't have that tendency. Business is business. When social software was popular, he was the first to keenly discover the market gap. He is also very capable and very good at avoiding policy risks, so he built up his business. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by investors in the capital market later."

"He figured he was going to start a second business, so he started using facial recognition on a large scale."

Gu Tong realized that Lin Chu was not aware of the details, so he gave a detailed introduction, carefully choosing his wording and being quite cautious and objective. After all, Lin Chu was a 24-year-old straight man.

After listening to her, Lin Chu completely understood. He had no prejudice against this kind of business track. There were more than one unconventional entrepreneur in Pengcheng. For example, the guy who worked on Kuaibo still had capital investment after he was released from prison after serving several years.

Because the "achievements" have been proven before.

There are people who do business that will get them killed, but no one does business that will lose money.

The two chatted.

On the stage, a man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a shirt, jeans, and a crew cut, dressed like a programmer, came up with a slightly shy smile.

"Hello everyone, my name is Geng Yue. I'm not famous, at least not as famous as you all. So far, the most successful experience in my life has been a huge failure - listing and delisting on the US stock market. I'm honored to be here today. I work in the social track..."

He started talking a lot.

Lin Chu's attention was also completely attracted.

Talent.

——If this guy were put into the team of He Meng and Liu Junfeng, I wonder what kind of chemical reaction would happen?
Lin Chu naturally had no doubt about his ability. He was able to start from scratch and make it to the stock market. Even if he benefited from the times, he could definitely be called a super tough guy.

However, what he had done before in this field was truly a double-edged sword.

Perhaps, in that circle, in the hearts of some people, he is like a spiritual totem.

However, in a wider circle, this might actually be a negative impact. If your brothers, or even yourself, or people who want to join the circle are misunderstood, that would be really troublesome.

On the field.

Geng Yue talked about his personal experience, listing experience, his judgment of the market, and the main reasons for his failure, and then naturally began to bring up his own opinions.

"Every generation has its own unique way of socializing. I will continue to work on this track, and I believe that those born in the 00s and 10s will reshape the way we socialize. When we no longer post on Moments, chat on QQ, get tired of using Momo, Tantan, and Soul, something new will surely emerge. After all, the need for socializing will always exist."

"At present, I still have some ideas to continue to start a business in the social field. If there are like-minded friends, you are welcome to talk to me. Thank you for bothering you."

Sharing in this kind of occasion goes very quickly and is full of valuable information. It only takes about fifteen minutes to finish.

Geng Yue bowed to the audience to express his gratitude, then walked off the stage with a smile.

Many people were very considerate and applauded to see him off.

At this moment, two images emerged in Lin Chu's mind.

the first is:

——I’m Zha Zha Hui. If you’re a brother, come and kill me. You’ll be given 688 when you come online and you can take home a top-notch artifact.

If we could make a male-oriented, legendary online game, and give out real money gift packages to all users when it goes online, could that be considered a rebate?

The role of the Internet is to use a set of code models to cover a wider range of people on the largest scale.

The second one is:

If I make a social software and give every male user an online gift package, can this be considered a rebate?
hiss……

The thinking and pattern were opened up again.

Moreover, games, social networking, live streaming, intangible cultural heritage, offline gatherings... no matter what form it is, or what medium is involved, these are actually part of eating, drinking and having fun.

If the world is a huge playground, then my identity must be the president of a "gaming guild".
