Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

The news of Douyin's Series A financing has not been officially announced, but in the investment circle, there are never any secrets that cannot be kept.

Sequoia Capital, IDG Capital, Matrix Partners, Qiming Venture Partners, and Legend Capital all made moves simultaneously.

The post-investment valuation is two billion US dollars.

Raised $200 million.

A short video product launched less than a month ago has been put on the unicorn table.

The news first circulated within several funds.

Soon, the news reached the ears of many more people.

"Two billion US dollars? One month after launch?"

"Sequoia Capital led the investment?"

"IDG got in too?"

"Has Zhang Ming gone mad? Or have those funds gone mad?"

"What kind of company is Xingchen Technology?!"

This was the first time the name Xingchen Technology had entered the national venture capital circle's field of vision.

In the past, many people had only vaguely heard that there was a new company in the western province with a very close relationship.

They have deep ties with the provincial state-owned assets bureau because they are involved in the mining industry.

But that's far removed from most internet investors.

Mines, state-owned assets, local industries—it sounds like a story from another world.

But Douyin is different; it's right there on your phone.

Anyone can download it, and if everyone uses it for a few minutes, they'll know this thing is malicious.

Now, the controlling shareholder behind this product is called Xingchen Technology.

The sound of the wind began to spread.

Some people started investigating Xingchen Technology, while others investigated Chen Mo.

Some people went to the western province, trying to get more information through banks, the government, and the fund industry.

The more they investigated, the more suspicious it seemed, and many people even received warnings...

.......

After Douyin secured its financing, Chen Mo did not stay in the provincial capital any longer.

The task was handed over to Zhang Nan and Chen Liping to carry out, and even Zhang Ming was left behind to temporarily serve as a laborer.

Chen Mo and Lin Wan returned to Jiangcheng.

On the way, Chen Mo opened WeChat, found Xu Qing's chat box, transferred 100,000 yuan to her, and left a message as a consultation fee.

Xu Qing was sitting on the edge of the bed in a hotel in the provincial capital when her phone suddenly vibrated.

Received 100,000 RMB via WeChat.

She stared at the screen for a long time.

At first, I thought I was seeing things.

I checked my wallet again.

Still 100,000.

Xu Qing's finger remained on the screen for a long time without moving.

Then his eyes immediately reddened.

She placed her phone face down on the bed, got up, and went into the bathroom.

In the mirror, the woman's eyes were red at the corners.

She splashed cold water on her face.

After a long while, he finally let out a soft breath.

……

After returning to Jiangcheng, Chen Mo did not go home first.

The car drove directly to the Sunac residential complex in the county town, where newly opened, ready-to-move-in apartments were available.

This is currently the best commercial housing project in Jiangcheng County.

It is located in the new urban area.

It is not far from the county hospital, health bureau, and transportation bureau, and the surrounding area is planned to include schools, commercial streets, and a park that is not yet fully completed.

A red banner was hanging outside the sales office.

"A benchmark for improving living standards in Wuhan."

"The ultimate luxury penthouse, the last available unit."

There were a few cars parked at the entrance. They weren't considered luxury cars, but in Jiangcheng County, this indicated that the development was positioned at a relatively high level.

Lin Wan got out of the car with Chen Mo, followed closely by Qin Feng and Han Weidong.

The saleswoman immediately came to greet them when she saw them enter.

"Sir/Madam, would you like to view the property?"

"Look at the king of buildings."

Chen Mo said.

The saleswoman paused for a moment, then quickly said, "Sir, our 'king of the building' units are located in the middle, with two units per floor, and are about 200 square meters."

She quickly got into the zone.

"Only the higher floors are left. They offer the best views, but the total price will be higher."

"lead the way."

Chen Mo didn't waste any more words.

The saleswoman's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately became even more enthusiastic with her smile.

"This way, please."

The show flat is on the seventeenth floor.

When the elevator doors opened, the saleswoman stepped out first, her movements even more cautious than before.

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Lin, this is our top-floor duplex show flat."

She opened the door.

The lights inside the room came on.

The living room is spacious with floor-to-ceiling windows, an open kitchen, and a staircase located to the side of the living room.

The interior design style is trying very hard to resemble a luxury home.

Marble, metal lines, leather sofa.

For a place like Jiangcheng County, achieving this level of success is already quite impressive.

Chen Mo walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The new urban area downstairs is not yet fully built, the park in the distance is only an outline, and a few streetlights have just been turned on.

The field of vision is indeed quite good.

Lin Wan stood to the side and opened the folder.

"The two penthouse units on the seventeenth floor are not too difficult to construct if they are connected."

The saleswoman nodded quickly.

"It can be modified. This prime building was originally designed with space for large-unit renovations, and many owners have combined the units to create upgraded homes."

Chen Mo looked around.

"What about the sixteenth floor?"

"The sixteenth floor is a standard large-sized apartment, with two units per floor, and each unit is about 200 square meters."

The saleswoman quickly added, "The natural light is excellent, and the apartment layout is similar to the lower part of the seventeenth floor."

Chen Mo nodded.

"Two apartments on the sixteenth floor and two apartments on the seventeenth floor, I'll take them both."

The saleswoman's mouth opened slightly.

"You mean... you want all four sets?"

"Um."

"Should we decide today?"

"Sign it today."

The saleswoman nearly dropped the folder in her hand. In all her years in sales, this was the first time she'd ever seen someone buy a house like they were buying groceries.

Lin Wan was not surprised.

She lowered her head and wrote a few lines in her notebook.

"Two apartments on the sixteenth floor are for the bodyguards, who also do their daily guard duty."

"Two apartments on the seventeenth floor have been combined."

"It's a suite for my uncle and aunt."

"One set is for Sister Chen Jing."

She said it very naturally.

Chen Mo glanced at her in surprise.

How did you know about my plans?

Lin Wan looked up and smiled gently.

"Isn't this what should be done?"

Lin Wan spoke softly, but she felt a slight sense of relief.

Her role is not just to be a subordinate who reports on work and handles documents.

Before the saleswoman could recover from the shock of looking at the four apartments, Lin Wan suddenly asked again:

"Are there any floors left on the fifteenth floor?"

The saleswoman was taken aback.

"Fifteen floors?"

"right."

Lin Wan spoke calmly.

"Same building, prime location."

The saleswoman quickly flipped through the forms.

"On the fifteenth floor... there's one more east-facing unit. A client has already paid a deposit for the west-facing unit, but a formal contract hasn't been signed yet."

Lin Wan nodded.

"I'll take the east-facing unit."

Chen Mo turned to look at her.

"you want?"

"Um."

Lin Wan did not avoid his gaze.

"I need a place to stay in Jiangcheng."

She paused for a moment, then added, "Guanlan Yujing is used as both a company office and temporary residence; it's not considered a home."

Chen Mo looked at her.

Lin Wan was wearing a light gray business suit today, with her hair hanging down her shoulders. Her expression was gentle, yet with a hint of smugness.

Chen Mo suddenly smiled.

"Is Mr. Lin planning to live downstairs from me?"

"Isn't this perfect?" Lin Wan's eyes curved slightly. "If Uncle and Aunt need anything, I can come upstairs anytime."

"When Sister Chen Jing comes back, I can help take care of her."

"Security is on the sixteenth floor, I'm on the fifteenth, so I won't bother them."

"and……"

She lowered her voice a little.

"If General Manager Chen goes home, it will be easier for me to report on my work."

The report was delivered in a very serious tone, but Qin Feng and Han Weidong, standing at the door, both looked away in unison.

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't say anything more.

"Buy it."

Lin Wan's eyes immediately brightened.

The saleswoman standing next to me felt like she had heard something incredible, but she was smart and didn't ask anything.

He quickly picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Manager, manager, the four units on the sixteenth and seventeenth floors of the 'king of the building,' as well as the east-facing unit on the fifteenth floor, all require the clients to see the contract."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Then came the manager's almost broken voice.

"How many sets do you want?"

Five sets.

"Hold on! I'm coming right away!"

Less than three minutes later, the sales manager came running up.

Sweat beaded on his forehead.

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Lin, this way please. Let's go to the VIP room to talk."

The VIP room was quickly filled with contracts.

Two households on the sixteenth floor.

The 17th floor has two units on the top floor.

A large, single-level apartment on the east side of the fifteenth floor.

The manager personally brewed tea, while the saleswoman stood beside him, her smile barely concealed.

Chen Mo bought the four sets.

Less than five million.

Lin Wan, who was on the fifteenth floor, did not ask Chen Mo to pay for it.

This money almost wiped out a significant portion of her bonus this year.

But she didn't care at all. Money in the account was just a number, but being able to live downstairs from Chen Mo meant she was already far ahead of others.

After the contract was signed, the saleswoman took the documents to make copies.

Half an hour later, the group left the sales office.

It was already dark outside.

Chen Mo stood at the entrance of the building, looking at the penthouse that was not yet fully handed over.

In his previous life, his parents didn't even own a decent house in the county town.

When my sister graduated and returned home, she could only live in that cramped little room.

In this lifetime, he will make up for these things little by little.

Lin Wan stood beside him, holding her house purchase contract in her hand, a strand of hair at her temple being blown by the evening breeze.

She glanced down at the contract, then quickly closed it again, as if afraid of letting anyone see the joy in her eyes.

Chen Mo suddenly asked, "Should we tell my parents first?"

Lin Wan carefully put the contract away.

"Let's talk about Uncle and Auntie's situation after the renovation is almost finished."

"Auntie will probably say you're wasting money again."

Chen Mo smiled.

"I won't buy a house."

Qin Feng stood by the car and opened the car door for Chen Mo.

Lin Wan didn't get into the car immediately; she looked back at the building.

She suddenly felt that this building was like some kind of quietly formed relationship.

Chen Mo's family lives upstairs.

She was downstairs.

Not too close, not too far.

Just right.
