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

By the time I left ByteDance's office area, Kyoto was completely dark, and a cold wind carrying snowflakes howled past the end of the street.

Chen Liping followed Chen Mo, and even after getting into the car, he was still somewhat dazed.

The initial investment was 100 million yuan, with Chen Mo holding a 65% stake.

ByteDance contributed its recommendation algorithm and team, accounting for 35%.

Douyin Group was established.

These numbers kept challenging his perception, making it difficult for him to reconcile the confident young man at the conference table with the nephew he had watched grow up.

The car drove out of the park.

After a long silence, Chen Liping finally spoke:

"Xiao Mo, tell your uncle the truth."

"How much money do you actually have right now?"

Chen Mo smiled as he looked at the Kyoto night view rushing past the car window.

"Uncle, telling you the exact amount now will only add to your stress."

Chen Liping smiled wryly: "You took out 100 million so easily, I'm already under enough pressure."

Chen Mo did not deny it.

After a while, he slowly spoke:

"Uncle, money is no longer just something I use to improve my life."

"It's a tool. It can be used to buy technology, attract talent, seize opportunities early, and prevent us from being manipulated by others."

Chen Liping turned to look at him.

The lights from outside the car window fell on Chen Mo's young profile, creating a play of light and shadow.

"What I want to do is not a software company, nor just a short video product."

Chen Mo's voice was not loud, but it was full of strong confidence.

"I want to have my place in the future of the Internet, finance, resources, new energy, and high-end manufacturing."

"I want to connect these industries and build a business empire that no one can easily shake."

Chen Liping stared at him blankly.

A business empire.

If someone else had said those four words, he would have thought it was arrogant.

But Chen Mo just mentioned 100 million in ByteDance's conference room.

He clearly possesses far more assets than he could ever imagine.

Chen Liping suddenly realized that Chen Mo's ambitions were far greater than he had imagined.

"Xiao Mo".

He took a deep breath, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"I don't have much ability, and I don't understand finance and capital. But since you trust me and let me do this project, I will definitely protect the people and the company for you."

"I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm just afraid of holding you back."

Chen Mo felt a warmth in his heart. The reason he chose his uncle was because the other party was trustworthy.

Skills can be cultivated, and horizons can be broadened, but loyalty and family ties are things that money can't buy.

"Uncle, you don't need to know everything."

Chen Mo looked at him: "Zhang Nan is in charge of product, ByteDance is in charge of algorithms and recommendation technology, and the Yunfan team is in charge of development and implementation. Your most important task is to unite these teams as one and at the same time maintain control of the company for me."

Leave professional matters to professionals.

"Just remember, the company must be surnamed Chen."

Chen Liping nodded solemnly: "I've got it."

"You should return to the western province tomorrow."

Chen Mo continued to give instructions: "Clearly sort out all of Yunfan Software's personnel, labor contracts, technical equipment, and existing projects. Existing outsourced businesses can be retained, but they must be established as independent departments and cannot occupy the core resources of the Douyin project."

"In addition, prepare office space in advance. The development team should be able to accommodate at least one hundred people, and the server room, testing equipment, and network lines should be configured to the highest standards."

Chen Liping was shocked: "A hundred people? We only have a dozen or so developers right now."

"It will be more than that soon."

Chen Mo said calmly, "This 100 million is not something to be kept in the accounts."

……

the next morning.

A top-tier law firm in Kyoto.

In the presence of lawyers and financial advisors, Chen Mo and ByteDance officially signed a cooperation framework agreement.

The new company name is:

Douyin Technology Group Co., Ltd.

Xingchen Technology invested 100 million yuan in cash and a complete product plan.

ByteDance invested in the company by providing its recommendation algorithm license, distribution engine, and core product team led by Zhang Nan.

The company will take over the entire development team of Yunfan Software and establish its first R&D and operations center in the western province.

After signing the preliminary documents, Chen Mo walked to the window and dialed Lin Wan's number.

"Mr. Chen."

The call was answered quickly.

"Lin Wan, how much working capital does Xingchen Technology currently have?"

"After deducting the subsequent budgets for Deer Technology, Xingxin Mining and Feiyu Real Estate, the funds available for free allocation are approximately 60 million yuan."

"Don't move."

Chen Mo stated directly, "With the physical projects expanding, a safety margin must be maintained in our cash flow."

"Go to Huaguo Bank today and apply for a corporate loan of 100 million yuan. Use the high-quality equity held by Xingchen Technology and some land assets of Feiyu Real Estate as credit enhancement. The loan term is three years."

Lin Wan immediately asked, "What will the funds be used for?"

"Invest in the internet industry."

"Xingchen Technology will act as the main entity to invest 100 million yuan in the newly established Douyin Technology Group, acquiring 65% of the initial equity."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

Lin Wan was clearly taken aback by this sudden investment.

"Douyin Group?"

"A short video project," Chen Mo said. "The follow-up materials will be sent to you. This project will be accounted for independently and its funds will not be mixed with those of other business entities of Xingchen Technology."

"clear."

Lin Wan did not question Chen Mo's judgment.

Huaguo Bank already classified Xingchen Technology as a top-tier client.

With the equity of Deer Technology, the land reserves of Feiyu Real Estate, and the Xingxin Mining project serving as credit backing, obtaining a loan of 100 million yuan is not difficult.

Before ending the call, Chen Mo added:

"The faster the loan approval, the better."

"I will go see President Sun in person," Lin Wan replied. "I will try to complete the credit approval process within three days."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo returned to the conference room.

He made one adjustment in the final equity agreement.

Xingchen Technology holds 60% of the shares.

ByteDance holds a 35% stake.

Chen Liping holds 5% of the shares.

This 5% was taken from Chen Mo's original shareholding.

When Chen Liping saw the agreement, he was stunned for a long time.

"Xiao Mo, I can't accept these shares."

"Uncle, take it."

"I only contributed a dozen or so people, and even the company's initial investment of 500,000 was provided by you. Now that the new project is valued at such a high level, why should I take 5% for nothing?"

"This isn't something you get for free."

Chen Mo placed the pen in front of him.

"You are now a founding shareholder of Douyin Group and my representative in the company. Shares are not only a source of income, but also a responsibility."

"Once you sign, no matter what the company's valuation is, you must protect it for me."

Chen Liping looked at the agreement, his eyes slightly warming.

He may not yet understand what this 5% stake means for the future.

But he knew that this was Chen Mo's complete trust in him.

Finally, he picked up the pen and solemnly signed his name.

……

in the afternoon.

Chen Liping took the high-speed train back to the western province to begin preparations for the research and development center.

Chen Mo then went to the Kyoto Fortune Center.

The entire floor of office space where Taichu Capital is located is no longer as spacious as it once was.

The facility is fully equipped with a reception area, investment research department, trading room, risk control room, and meeting room.

Twenty or thirty professionals poached from securities firms, public funds, and private equity firms were busy at their respective workstations.

On the huge trading screen, the main A-share indices and the holdings data of Taichu No. 1 fluctuated continuously.

Zhao Qiang received the message and was already waiting at the elevator entrance.

"Boss!"

Upon seeing Chen Mo, he quickly approached, his expression revealing his excitement.

"You've finally arrived!"

As Chen Mo walked inside, he asked, "How's Taichu No. 1?"

"The net asset value has reached 1.43!"

Zhao Qiang lowered his voice, but still couldn't hide his excitement.

"With an initial investment of 2 billion yuan, the total assets are now close to 2.86 billion yuan. CITIC Securities, Eastmoney Finance, CRRC and several financial blue-chip stocks have all entered the main upward phase."

"Our net asset value growth rate has entered the top three among domestic private equity funds of similar size!"

Chen Mo walked into the trading room.

The portfolio structure on the screen was basically consistent with the direction he had set before leaving.

The majority of the portfolio consists of financial, securities, internet finance, and infrastructure blue-chip stocks.

There were no frequent transactions.

We did not chase after small-cap speculative stocks.

Zhao Qiang strictly followed his plan.

"Well done."

Upon receiving this comment, Zhao Qiang immediately perked up.

Chen Mo quickly poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"But don't be too quick to celebrate."

"A rise in net asset value during a bull market doesn't necessarily mean the team is really that strong. Right now, the market is lifting everyone up; you can just buy a few brokerage stocks and still make your returns look pretty good."

Zhao Qiang's excitement subsided somewhat.

"Boss, what do you mean?"

"We are controlling the scale and will temporarily stop accepting new subscriptions."

Chen Mo looked at the screen, his tone calm:

"If existing investors make additional investments, they will all be allocated to the next product phase. The primary goal of Taichu No. 1 is not to increase the scale, but to create a sufficiently clean and impressive net asset value curve."

"In addition, we will start developing a phased profit-taking plan from now on."

"All positions are categorized according to liquidity and market capacity. When I issue the exit order, I must ensure that more than 2 billion yuan can be withdrawn quickly."

Zhao Qiang was startled.

Everyone outside is shouting that the bull market has just begun.

Chen Mo, however, was already considering how to leave.

"Boss, do you think this bull market won't last long?"

"It will continue to rise."

Chen Mo said calmly, "And the price will rise beyond most people's imagination."

"But the crazier things get, the more important it is to find an exit in advance."

Zhao Qiang nodded thoughtfully.

"Understood, I will have the risk control department prepare a solution as soon as possible."

Chen Mo then reviewed the trading permissions, daily risk control reports, and team staffing, and offered suggestions for adjustments to several overly concentrated positions.

Taichu Capital is his most important institutional platform in the domestic financial market.

This place cannot just make money for him; it must also gradually cultivate a team that can independently judge the market and execute large-scale transactions.

It was evening.

Chen Mo left Taichu Capital and returned to Yujintai.

The apartment was completely silent.

The night view of Kyoto unfolds outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, with the lights of distant high-rise buildings shining brightly.

Chen Mo took off his coat and leaned against the living room sofa.

In just a few days, he returned to the provincial capital from Hong Kong, and then traveled from the provincial capital to Kyoto.

Chuangsheng Investment, Jianing Holdings, Xiling Mining, Douyin Group, and Taichu Capital.

The cards, which were originally scattered, are slowly coming together in his hand.

He closed his eyes, and after a moment, a lovely face appeared in his mind.

"Since I'm in Beijing, I should visit my sister at her school... and see her best friend."
