Rebirth begins with e-commerce

Late at night, the boys were half drunk and the girls were full.

Luo Xiu sent them home one by one, and then sat on the swing in the garden with Guan Shiyu, talking about the future.

"It would be great if we could buy the small island opposite and use it as the base camp of our company."

Luo Xiu pointed to a small island under construction in the river and sighed.

"That biological island you said it is? Isn't it worth a few billion?"

Guan Shiyu, who was born in a real estate family, has been exposed to it since childhood and has a general understanding of land acquisition policies and prices.

The biological island in front of you was formerly called Guanzhou Island. It is located next to the university town. The island covers an area of ​​about 2,700 acres. The island is lined with green trees, has an elegant environment, and still retains many original ecological cultural landscapes.

The government is currently carrying out the first phase of development and plans to build it into a future biotechnology CBD.

Luo Xiu remembered that Tengxun bought an island at the end of 2019, half the size of the biological island in front of him, and spent 8.5 billion.

Of course, the land price in Shenzhen is much higher than that in Yangcheng, and the land price ten years from now will not be comparable to now.

But no matter how cheap it is, Luo Xiu can't afford it now.

The only thing we can learn from is Tesla’s way of acquiring land.

Also in Shanghai, where every inch of land is at a premium, Tesla acquired 1,297 acres of industrial land at an ultra-low price of NT$973 million, which is only one-tenth of the normal land price. For a similar size, Tencent spent NT$8.5 billion

.

It is worth mentioning that Tesla also received a 17.5 billion loan from the bank at ultra-low interest rates.

This means that I don’t have to pay a penny, I can use your money to buy your land and build my factory.

The last one to do this was the Li family in Hong Kong City. They used bank money to buy land and let it sit without developing it. They waited until the land price soared tenfold before selling it.

Of course, Tesla can do this because it has signed a tax gambling agreement of 2 billion per year. All the money borrowed from the bank must be invested in the expenses of the factory.

If Luo Xiu wants to learn from Tesla, it is possible to borrow money from the bank to buy land. The premise is that Fantuan's influence is large enough and people believe that he can bring enough tax revenue to the Yangcheng government.

As one of the four first-tier cities in Yangcheng, the most criticized thing is that there is not a single company that can stand out.

Shenzhen next door has Huawei and Tencent, a company with a market value of several trillion, Alibaba is in Xihang, Pinduoduo is in Shanghai, and JD.com, Meituan, Baidu and other giants are in the imperial capital.

Let alone companies with a market capitalization of trillions in Yangcheng, we can’t even find a company with a market capitalization of hundreds of billions.

There is a true joke that the total market value of all the more than 100 listed companies in Yangcheng is even less than that of Jiangxiang Technology in Qianzhou.

Yangcheng's position as a first-tier city relies mainly on numerous small and medium-sized enterprises.

However, it is always a pity for Yangcheng that there is no company that can do well and enjoy international reputation.

If rice balls really show such potential, the Yangcheng government will definitely be willing to provide strong support.

"Although I know it is difficult, the environment of this island is really good. It is next to a university town and has seamless talent connections. If I can buy this island and establish a company with a market value of trillions, my life will be almost complete."

Luo Xiu looked at the small island in the night, as if he was looking at his own private property.

"You will succeed, come on!" Guan Shiyu made a cheering gesture with her fists clenched.

"I dare to say, do you really dare to believe it?" Luo Xiu pinched her little face, "I only dare to tell you this, if others know it, they will laugh to death."

"My dad said that it doesn't matter whether your life goals are realistic or not, but you must have goals."

"Then what is your goal in life?"

"I didn't have any goals before, because my dad could give me anything I wanted, so I often envied my sister for her courage to leave the family and realize her dream of becoming a star."

Guan Shiyu lowered her head in embarrassment and continued: "Now I don't envy her, because I also have my own life goals."

Luo Xiu curled his lips and said nonchalantly: "Then what is your goal? I have been talking for so long, but I still haven't gotten to the point."

"I won't tell you the secret!" Guan Shiyu made a face at him.

"I know even if you don't tell me, your goal must be to marry me and give birth to a monkey for me." Luo Xiu laughed proudly.

"You are so beautiful now." Guan Shiyu pushed Luo Xiu off the swing.

…

Two days later, Luo Xiu boarded a plane to the Imperial Capital to meet the man who would be called Rebus in the future.

The purpose of this trip was to find a way to force Rebus's first VC investment.

In a previous life, this investment came from Morningside Capital, and US$5 million turned into US$5 billion, a profit of a thousand times.

Rebus himself is an angel investor, and the most important reason why he approached Morningside Capital was to share risks.

Although he himself is not short of money, he has invested all his money in Xiaomi. If it fails, he will have no choice but to file for bankruptcy, carry high debts, and return to before liberation overnight.

If Xiaomi succeeds, although its assets will be divided thinly, it will only be the difference between 100 billion and 200 billion.

If it was just to share risks, Luo Xiu could give him the 5 million now.

But things are not that simple. In addition to financial needs, Rebus also needs investors to help him in other aspects.

The key to whether Luo Xiu can invest this money is whether there are enough reasons to convince him.

The plane landed at the Imperial Capital International Airport. Compared with the warm Yangcheng, the cold wind was howling in the Imperial Capital at this time.

A beautiful woman on the same plane seemed not to have expected the huge temperature difference between the two places. Wearing a thin skirt, she could only hold her shoulders with her hands, shivering from the cold.

Although it was a bit unkind, Luo Xiu felt a little proud as he opened the pole box, took out a down jacket and put it on, immediately feeling warm.

Before departure, Guan Shiyu helped him pack his suitcase, fearing that he would be cold or warm, and prepared a thick, medium and thin coat each.

"Hello, sir, can you lend me a piece of clothing to wear for a while?" The beautiful woman walked up to Luo Xiu and said politely, "My coat is in the checked luggage and I forgot to take it out before boarding the plane.

Yes, I will pick up your luggage and return it to you right away."

"Well, okay!" Luo Xiu reopened the trolley case, took out a thin coat and handed it to her, jokingly saying, "Be careful, it doesn't matter if it gets dirty, just don't rub the lipstick on your clothes, otherwise I won't be able to get home."

Find a way to explain it to your girlfriend."

"Don't worry, I will be careful, thank you!"

The beauty couldn't help but look at Luo Xiu curiously.

She knew that she was quite beautiful, and even if the men who were close to her had girlfriends, they would pretend they didn't. But the boy in front of her emphasized that he was not single at the beginning, as if he was afraid that I would get involved with him.

Are there still such men now?
