Shenhao: Please stop messing around

Chapter 372 Chapter 371, Do you need investment? (4K)

Good gathering and good dispersal.

Lin Chu chose to accept Liu Junfeng's "retirement" calmly.

After thinking about it, I don't have any regrets or regrets in this friendship.

As for the reasons Liu Junfeng gave, they should be his true thoughts.

Even if there were other circumstances, it wouldn't matter.

Sometimes I think that the fate between people is really wonderful, and even feels like it is destined.

Liu Junfeng and I met because of drinking, and we spent some time together in a life of debauchery, feeling very carefree and happy.

Now, I have quit drinking and smoking, play with women less often, and almost never go to brothels with my brothers.

Then...the intimacy dropped to that of ordinary friends.

Of course, alcohol and sex are definitely not to blame; they are just the medium.

Probably just a change of position, and each has his own teammates.

It is inevitable.

If you want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus with wine, it doesn't seem like you are a teenager.

Lin Chu couldn't help but feel a little emotional, but he just shook his head and smiled.

……

The next morning.

Lin Chu arrived at his office on time at 9:30, feeling like a worker punching in for work.

However, one of the main reasons why I chose to accept this position was to learn.

That's right.

Just learn.

Compared with the actual position, the courses in an MBA class are naturally just child's play. With my current status, if I really want to go to an MBA class, I can be a lecturer with the PPTs prepared by my secretary. It's all just repetitive words, but only the resources represented by the identity are real.

An ultra-large capacity hard drive was inserted into the computer, and the database was presented clearly.

They are Citibank's financial reports over the years, as well as various documents that are important enough to be archived.

Lin Chu calmed down and searched for information that might be useful to him in this ocean. Over this period of time, he had already developed the habit of reading, which was very pleasant.

If I had this kind of drive when I was studying, I would definitely not just get into an ordinary second-tier university.

However, perhaps only after one's desires are fully satisfied will one be willing to take the initiative to do what he or she likes, rather than being forced by exams or livelihood.

The driving forces behind the two are completely different.

The effects are naturally very different.

It was a sunny morning in New York. An Yunzhi went into the office and saw that Lin Chu was focused, so he did not disturb him. He replaced the cold tea with a new one, then tiptoed out of the office while looking at the documents in his hand.

Lin Chu was there watching the company's important affairs.

What I look at are the personnel files.

When doing things, it is natural to sort out the people first.

Citibank has approximately 25 employees worldwide. Even if we exclude the various middle-office positions at the headquarters and grassroots branch positions, there are nearly employees directly under Lin Chu in the group's OA.

This is no small screening job.

Of course, the screening criteria are still trust plus ability, with trust first and ability second.

An Yunzhi was very clear about Lin Chu's next arrangements. To put it in a more vivid way, the current position of Citibank in Lin Chu's mind was a bit like a "blood bag".

Many things that are not easy to handle by LC can be done by using Citibank's name, as long as they are not too excessive.

This is the greatest convenience.

For example, we acquired several high-tech companies in the field of low-altitude aircraft in the United States to enrich and improve our technology lines there.

For example, provide LC Retail with some marketing and networking conveniences.

These are conveniences that can be seen with the naked eye.

Of course, the daily affairs within the bank also need to be properly arranged, but this is not a difficult task. Large group companies naturally have the inertia of daily operations, not to mention a bank.

As long as the earth does not explode and there are no major problems with the strategy, there will be no major problems with basic business.

To put it more exaggeratedly, even if there are tasks like depositing money, Lin Chu can complete most of them by himself.

Until now, An Yunzhi still doesn't know where Lin Chu's 20 billion US dollars came from, as if it fell from the sky.

In my impression, even the top families in the country rarely have such strength.

That’s 20 billion!

US dollars!

To give the simplest example, Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi Group, once let slip that there were hundreds of billions of cash in the account. As a technology company, such cash reserves are already rare in China, and can even be said to be at the level of the richest man.

And Lin Chu...his cash assets in US dollars alone are 20 billion, which is more than 100 billion according to the current exchange rate.

If we really have to rank it, this year's Forbes list would definitely make it, maybe even in the top ten.

However, all of this seems to be meaningless to Lin Chu now.

It's better to keep a low profile.

While thinking about this, An Yunzhi quickly read through the resumes of the various people on the list and made a rough classification in his mind.

As a world-class bank, the employees here naturally come from all over the world. Looking at the headcount, An Yunzhi felt helpless and wanted to laugh.

The employee ratio basically follows the principle of political correctness, and the proportion of various races is even.

This is one of the slots.

There are more than a dozen genders among employees.

This is the second flaw.

There are a lot of Indian executives.

This is the third complaint.

I want to laugh, I really want to laugh. It is a bit beyond my expectations, but it is also in line with the local national conditions.

To be honest, looking at this mess, she felt a bit of a headache for Lin Chu.

It’s not such an easy job.

However, I actually have no practical experience in operating at such a "high position" and can only explore it step by step on my own.

But, no need to take responsibility anyway.

Besides, even if you mess up, it’s really no big deal.

I didn't come here for performance growth.

I'm here to suck blood.

At this moment, An Yunzhi even felt that the world was just a makeshift team. This sentence became concrete before his eyes.

And, all those things that you thought were great before were, in essence, decisions made by a few people on the stage under heavy packaging.

And now, it seems that Lin Chu is not far from that position. …

There is never much fun in the work schedule.

After patiently reading materials for about a month, Lin Chu felt that he had just gotten started and felt as if he had personally experienced the history of world finance.

From a longer time perspective, finance is about enclosure, which involves enclosing one field after another within one's own economic scope, using currency as a link.

The purpose of all innovations in financial instruments is nothing more than to control more industries and more people.

To put it more cruelly, the wealth of the rich is not money, but the poor.

From top to bottom, from left to right, the rules governing the operation of the entire society are a sophisticated and complete system of shearing sheep that is constantly being revised to become more sophisticated and perfect.

Occasionally, there will be a few bugs in the system that appear at specific times.

Occasionally, a few lucky people are able to move up the social ladder thanks to certain opportunities or new technological fields.

This has become a role model and motivation for more people at the bottom of society to strive for progress.

Of course, on the positive side, finance is a catalyst that greatly promotes the enrichment of surplus labor, so that resources can be invested in promoting the development of new technologies and promoting the development of overall productivity.

Lin Chu did not pay more attention to specific matters, but instead thought more and more about these issues.

This is inevitable.

The scope of thinking will naturally expand gradually along with one's status and position.

It’s almost in the cloud now.

When thinking about these things, Lin Chu actually understood Lister more deeply. After seeing all these essences clearly, but still not wanting to be confined to this life, the only things he could still pursue were perhaps those illusory and mysterious things.

However, I haven't reached that level yet.

There are still goals worth striving for.

Low-altitude aircraft are destined to be the direction of future transportation. This strategic direction will not change. The only difference is the implementation difference in technical routes.

Also, when low-altitude technology and the market are fully mature, Lin Chu estimates that by that time, his perspective may also be able to be invested in space.

Deep in my heart, the ultimate life goal that I had been pondering for a long time has now become completely clear.

It's a bit like an escape.

Because even with his current strength and power, he cannot change this world which has become a pile of shitty codes.

But it can also be seen as a pioneer.

At the very least, it has expanded the living space and imagination space for human beings. In the future, we will inevitably enter the space age. Perhaps in a few decades, or in our lifetime, we will be able to see it with our own eyes.

Even if you can’t see it, it doesn’t really matter.

Success does not have to be mine, success must be mine.

……

"Hello, Chu, nice to meet you."

It was another party, strictly speaking it was a family dinner, the coming-of-age ceremony for the son of the vice president of the New York Times Group. As a "prominent" figure, Lin Chu was invited to attend. It was originally just an ordinary occasion for eating, drinking and bonding, but Lin Chu didn't expect that here he would meet the person he wanted to meet but didn't get to meet before, Musk.

It turned out that he also knew me and took the initiative to greet me.

"Hello, I sent you an email some time ago, but you didn't reply. Now I caught you. Come on, let's chat."

Lin Chu said directly, patted his shoulder, and invited him with a glass of lemonade in his hand.

American directness is a good thing, and this way of conversation is something I really like.

Musk shrugged, smiled friendly, and did not refuse, following Lin Chu to the side.

He did know that this youngest vice president in the history of Citibank, a Chinese, 25 years old, was regarded as Lister's successor. During this period of time, various public opinion channels have been very hot, and he is like the next rising star.

LC Retail’s luxury stores have their advertisements spread across almost every channel that can be seen.

The three words "Xiang Yun Sha" have been very hot search words recently and have successfully brought about a trend.

And it started from the upper class.

This means that it is very likely that a luxury brand can be created. After all, consumption by the upper class is the trendsetter of consumption.

What interested him more was Lin Chu's age.

Twenty-five.

It's really hard to believe.

"I sent you an email some time ago, saying that I wanted to launch a space station and hoped to use your platform. I am serious about this matter, very serious."

Lin Chuyun smiled calmly and said that he wanted to launch a space station before because he wanted a lawless place, but now it is purely for the sea of ​​stars.

It's not that urgent.

But if it can be done, I would still be very willing to do it.

Musk smiled brightly and seemed quite pleased. He had heard similar words many times, but there were too many orders and he couldn't process them all.

And on some levels, as a Chinese, Lin Chu needs more stringent identity verification.

He shrugged and touched his nose: "Of course, of course there is no problem, but unless I put my production and assembly base in China, the production capacity really can't keep up."

"And you should also know that this is impossible. Satellites and space stations are not cars after all."

"Chu, how's your low-altitude flying machine doing?"

He said this politely but principledly, lightly changing the subject.

Lin Chu frowned slightly, realizing this objective problem. Indeed, this is a barrier that cannot be broken through by technological power, just like the Tower of Babel in mythology. Human beings attempted to build a tower to the sky, but the divine power confused their language and led to civil strife. Therefore, more struggles were for the purpose of killing others rather than transforming the world and developing technology.

"It is under development and progressing very quickly. It should be ready for production next year."

"But commercial use and making money are not my ultimate goal at all. The luxury goods I make are not for this, nor are commercial aircraft. I eventually want to go into space, starting with satellites, then to space stations, and then to building bases."

Lin Chu said casually, preaching his own ideas.

If I had said this before, it might have been considered crazy, but now, with the strength at hand, I am fully qualified to say this.

Hearing this, Musk's eyes moved slightly.

Isn’t this kind of philosophy one of my long-term visions?

He didn't expect that in such an occasion, he would meet a young man who shared the same ideals as himself.

Of course, it is also possible that the other party has studied himself in depth and said these things on purpose.

"Okay, how much money are you going to invest? Haha..."

He asked half formally and half jokingly.

"All in. Do you need money? Whether it's for financial investment or order payment, it's all fine. Ten billion? Or twenty billion? Just tell me a number and it will be in your account tomorrow."

Lin Chu spoke to the current world's richest man with an air of spending money like water.

What happened to the richest man?
What makes him the richest man is the stock market value.

When it comes to cash flow, who can compare with me, a guy with all the luck?
