Becoming the richest man starts with making complaints

Cao Shen handed over the lighter.

"Another cigarette."

Cao Shen took out the cigarettes from his pocket and handed the whole pack to him.

The visitor was not polite, he took out one and put the rest in his pocket.

Cao Shen:......

The fire lit up, and Cao Shen saw the man's face clearly.

Thin and fair, wearing retro round glasses, his eyes were illuminated by orange firelight, making them particularly clear.

At the age of forty-one or twelve years old, he has a very elegant temperament, but he is hiding a sharp edge.

This is……

Xiao Gang!

Singularity·2010 Industry Opinion Leader, this award is specially awarded to such people.

Oh, no, not to him.

Xiao Gang should get that "lifetime achievement" award.

Founder of Obsidian Asset, the assets under management are nearly 300 billion, covering the primary and secondary markets.

In the primary market, the top three shareholders of all successful entrepreneurial projects all have the names of Obsidian Assets among their shareholders.

In the secondary market, one word from Obsidian Asset can make the stock market tremble three times.

Xiao Gang is the real number one figure in the domestic investment circle, and Obsidian is also the company with the largest asset management scale in the country.

Cao Shen was thinking, this big guy doesn't travel with a driver or secretary...

"Cao Shen, right?" Xiao Gang exhaled a burst of white smoke.

"Um."

"The event was well done and attracted everyone." Xiao Gang put one hand on the suitcase's lever and raised the corners of his mouth.

Cao Shen: "..."

"You're laughing at this nonsense, thank you for coming to support me!" The boss spoke so directly, and Cao Shen's little tricks were indeed seen through.

"Young man, that's good." Xiao Gang reached out and patted Cao Shen on the back.

Cao Shen knew that a person like Xiao Gang couldn't come here specifically for this kind of event. He probably had other things to do.

Logically speaking, he has been a man for two generations, so he shouldn't be embarrassed when he sees a big boss.

In particular, Cao Shen himself still has a rebellious temperament that ignores authority.

But there is something called aura in this world. No matter how kind his face is, or how he smiles and approves, you will still feel pressure.

At this time, Mr. Cao nodded obediently like the cat whose fur was smoothed.

This is the power of money, oh, and of course, the power of ability.

It's probably like participating in a poker game. After fighting all the way, an opponent suddenly appears on the table with a base filled with chips.

At this time, the focus of your emotion is not that he is rich, but the meaning of the chips themselves.

This person is very strong!

At this time, it is obvious that I am a little taller, the cigarette is obviously my own, and the lighter is also my own.

But, he is the one who has the final say...

"I want to set up an early-stage fund specifically to invest in mobile Internet projects from Angel to Series A," Xiao Gang said.

"It's good. Mobile Internet is a trend." Cao Shen threw the cigarette into the Coke can in his hand.

"Okay, let's cooperate." Xiao Gang took Cao Shen's hand and flicked the cigarette ashes into the mouth of the can.

This is not a question or an imperative sentence, but a declarative sentence.

"Huh?" Cao Shen looked sideways at Xiao Gang again. It's late at night, so it's hard for the boss to joke around.

"Early-stage projects need to have broad coverage, and the investment standards are different from those in the mid- and late-stage projects, so I plan to put this fund on the sidelines."

Mid- to late-stage projects generally already have financial and operational data and can make model predictions.

In early projects, these things are basically very thin, and whether to invest or not cannot be calculated by the model.

The two types of projects have different judgment methods.

Therefore, Xiao Gang wanted to do early projects outside Obsidian staff, so that the company's internal investment process would not be disturbed and there would be no problems.

"Well, very good, very good." Cao Shen nodded.

"I'll give you 300 million, Tech Deep Throat will be an early-stage fund, and I'll be a single LP."

LP is the abbreviation of limited partner, that is, the fathers and investors of investment institutions.

They are responsible for providing the money, and the investment institution is responsible for managing the money and earning income through investment projects.

LPs need to pay investment institutions a 2% fund management fee per year.

If you make money, LP will get 80% of the income earned, and the remaining 20% ​​will go to the investment institution.

If you lose money, LP will admit defeat.

Of course, investment institutions are also called GPs, the full name is general partners. In order to ensure that the interests of the LPs are consistent, they also need to contribute some symbolic money, usually 1%-2%.

In other words, if Cao Shen pays 3 million, he can get 300 million from Xiao Gang to invest in early mobile Internet projects, and he can also collect 6 million from Xiao Gang in management fees every year.

Cao Shen is currently short of money to invest in projects. It can be said that Xiao Gang is sending both motors and electricity.

"Mr. Xiao, do you have any requests?" Cao Shen is not a hot-headed person.

"You haven't graduated yet, right?" Xiao Gang asked.

"Well, not yet."

"You are good at starting a business, but you have never done investment before, so you need to gain experience.

Therefore, for this fund, I will send four people from Obsidian to serve as the investment committee to make project decisions.

Of course, you will also be a member of the voting committee and have a vote.

There are five votes in total for project decisions, and you can vote with three votes.

Don't worry, the people I arrange to come here have rich investment experience and can make professional judgments.

When your investment ability matures in the future, we can give you more funds.

In this way, you can be independent in the next phase of the fund. "

"Oh, Mr. Xiao, this suggestion you made is a bit sudden to me.

I am starting a business now and have many things to do. Can I think about it? "Cao Shen said.

Xiao Gang put the cigarette butt in his hand into the can and exhaled the last breath of smoke:

"Of course, this is a careful decision. Please think about it carefully."

Xiao Gang smiled, took out a business card from the inner pocket of his coat and handed it to Cao Shen:

"If you think about it, contact me. If you have any ideas during the period, you can communicate at any time.

But be quick, projects wait for no one, and I hope to hear from you within a week. "

Cao Shen took the business card: "Okay, I will get back to you as soon as possible."

Xiao Gang held Cao Shen's shoulders and turned:

"Let's go in together. The awards will begin soon, and you, the master, cannot be absent."

"Oh, okay!" Cao Shen was gently pushed forward by Xiao Gang.

When he arrived at the door, Cao Shen stuffed the can into the trash can.

Only then did I think of it, should I politely help Xiao Gang get his luggage?

Just stretched out his hand: "Mr. Xiao..."

"No, no trouble." Xiao Gang continued to push Cao Shen, his steps were long, and the two of them walked very close.

People nearby raised eyebrows, but they didn’t dare to rush forward and disturb them, so they whispered in private:

"Xiao Gang! Xiao Gang from Obsidian Assets is here."

"Technology Deep Throat actually invited a big guy like Xiao Gang..."

"That's Cao Shen, right..."

"How come Cao Shen has such a good relationship with Xiao Gang? Obsidian is going to invest in Tongtai?"

"I never heard that Obsidian would be involved in such an early project."

"You said that Cao Shen was so popular when he first started his business, and he is still waging such a big battle today, with even the ministers and mayors coming, is it because the man behind him is Xiao Gang?"

"Do you feel that the two of them feel a bit similar..."

"What you said seems to be true. Cao Shen was born in Qidian Orphanage. Well, it can't be..."

"It's hard to say, Cao Shen doesn't even want financing, how can an orphan be so rich..."

The voice of discussion is very small, but gossip is the most popular in any circle, and it spreads quickly when it is talked about.
