Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

"You have become a person condemned by many people, the financial devil." Monica Bellucci, who has reached middle age, is even more charming, and her deep eyes look at Tao Zhiming, who is already a man of the world.

"Then what do you think?" Tao Zhiming disapprovingly leaned all over, basking in the early winter sun.

"I don't think much about it, but I feel that the world is just like that." The literary artist said literary words, "Human nature is greedy, how can you make an exception?"

Tao Zhiming looked at her profile.

For so many years, from an actress to a female director, Monica has always wanted to express her observation and thinking about human nature through her works.

This kind of work, in addition to the attractiveness and selling point of "beauty" that she can always bring when she appears on the screen, the work itself is destined to be just a high-brow literary film.Having won some awards and gained some reputation, it did not give her the satisfaction that her own thoughts inspired resonance.

To put it bluntly, how much real and profound understanding of the world can she have?Without enough genius perspective and thinking, without rich accumulation, she can't come up with a truly handed down work.

Tao Zhiming suddenly said, "Do you want to do something that can truly go down in history and stimulate people's thinking about human nature?"

Monica turned to look at him curiously: "What's the matter?"

Tao Zhiming smiled, sat up and walked to the terrace, enjoying the wind from the mountainside villa in Hollywood.

Holding a beer bottle, he said slowly, "I'm going to start a documentary channel under Bravo Media, just like the BBC has always done."

"Documentary?" Monica was a little curious, "Documentary that is famous in history? And it stimulates people's thinking about human nature to the greatest extent?"

"It's mainly scale, span, and depth." Tao Zhiming looked at her, and said seriously after a pause, "You can understand it as the history recorded with real images and sounds starting from the new millennium."

Monica still didn't understand, but what Tao Zhiming said next shocked her immediately: "At least 50 billion yuan of production costs are invested every year, covering most countries and most classes in the world. If it is 20 years Span, how many people’s real lives can be recorded? What kind of special new human history book will this be 20 years from now?”

If the span is 20 years, wouldn't that be 1000 billion yuan?

Monica looked at him blankly: "Are you serious?"

"Of course." Tao Zhiming's eyes were deep, "If you find it interesting, I want you to do it."

"...the kind without a script?"

"No." The corners of Tao Zhiming's mouth curled up, "Only the selection of materials. Since it is a new form of history books, of course we should try to cover as many subjects as possible. I don't do nature, I don't do technology, I only do contemporary humanities. It's different. The lives of people in different places and different classes. For example, if I had been prepared, how many people’s lives have been changed in the incident where I was called a devil? If many stories were recorded, in the process, some How many human aspects are worth thinking about?"

Monica's eyes sparkled, as if she was moved by the grand narrative he described.

Tao Zhiming raised his beer bottle: "Respect this world! A 'big man' like me is destined to change the fate of many people, and you can record the fate of this world. There is no director, no script, no real actors. 20 years, 1000 Millions of dollars, leaving an epic of the times."

"...why spend so much money to do such a thing?"

Tao Zhiming laughed: "Just treat it as if I'm tired of making money, and start thinking about how to spend money interestingly."

For so many years, Monica has always felt that he is a mysterious man with a depth of thought that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and he always has so many unconstrained ideas.

Now, did he come up with another idea?

"How about it? Miss Monica." Tao Zhiming invited again, "Do you want to participate in this unprecedented feature documentary? The New Millennium Human Epic Project."

"...sounds very interesting, but I don't have a clue yet."

"There are many subjects. It records major events of competition or cooperation between countries, records the rise and fall of a city, records a person from youth to middle age, records a company from establishment to prosperity or collapse, and records the joys and sorrows of a family." Tao Zhiming said casually, "Everything is good, but in the end all of them are stitched together, which is the scene of an era at a certain moment. It may not be comprehensive, but it takes into account the two dimensions of time and space."

He watched Monica reach out her hand: "It's very romantic, isn't it? This world is dancing like this, moving towards a new future. Whether it's a cliff, an abyss or a paradise, there are enough materials to look back at a certain step. This piece The difficulty lies in how to use so much money to make our records more comprehensive as much as possible."

Monica kept up with his dance steps and heard him continue: "It's like the huge changes that Neon has undergone in the past ten years, like the financial tsunami that happened in Asia last year and this year, like the life of Europeans after the collapse of Hongsu. If there is enough rich record material, many interesting clues can be found in it in the future. Where will the human nature of all people in the world lead the world? We don’t know, but this is a real epic .”

"...Bravo!" Monica was able to mutter to herself, "This is indeed...very romantic."

"Want to do it?" Tao Zhiming said with deep meaning.

"...Which director can refuse an investment of 1000 billion yuan? It is still a unique work." Monica's red lips parted, "But I will be very tired."

"No, you will be completely crowned queen in a brand new field." Tao Zhiming whispered in her ear, "Let the epic of the times judge those of us who change the world. Whether it is a hero or a devil depends on the history of the times." A trial is the only way to convict, isn't it?"

……

The promise of the new millennium has indeed begun to spread around the world.

In 1000 AD, the world was still divided into major civilization areas with little communication, and many places were not discovered by the major dynasties.

The Liao and Song Dynasties in the East are confronting each other, and the Holy Rome and Byzantium in the West are competing.

But standing on the eve of 2000 AD, the world has been very closely connected. "Globalization" and "global village" are already very popular words, the overall peace has lasted for more than 50 years, and computers have set off a new round of technological revolution.

Entering the Xia Kingdom at the turn of the century, young people are looking for more paths as college graduates are no longer assigned.

Studying abroad and working abroad no longer have many restrictions as in the past.

The 6-year-old New Dongfeng Training School, which began as supplementary classes on the campus of Yanda University, ushered in a new chapter.They own a teaching building of their own, and the core selling point is that they have been trained abroad, and they have officially entered a new stage under the trend of the times.

Since January, the government's online project has been officially launched.At the same time, Dominant Telecom also started splitting.

There are always so many people who smell the opportunities of the times.

The "dads" of a generation in the Internet age are now officially embarking on a journey.

Portals, e-commerce, social networking, games, online travel... The batch of well-known Internet companies that almost covered all Internet product forms in the next 20 years were born at this point in time.

Facing the opportunities of the WTO era, traditional industries are also ushering in a period of almost crazy development.

And a net that has already been laid has been quietly waiting in Xiangdao.

The first one to get into this network is Xinchao.com, which was officially established only two months ago and has been blown to the sky by the wind of the times.

This is the first IT company in the mainland to introduce venture capital. Having tasted the sweetness, they have clearly aimed at the capital operation path of going public.

And the best partner in front of them is naturally a Xia descendant who has strong influence and strength in Xiangdao, Neon, and the United States, and is a Xia who started to seriously engage in business because of the current bad reputation.

A high-rise building in Tsim Sha Tsui, Xiangdao, is now surnamed Tao.

After the turmoil last year, this property originally belonged to the Li family, because the Li family needed a large sum of money to "take care of the funeral", and Tao Zhiming "reached out to help" and sold it to the Dow Group at a "fair" price.

It is indeed fair, after all, since the financial tsunami the year before last, Xiangdao's property market has stopped growing for so many years, and has also fallen sharply.

"Director Tao!" Wang Dong from Xinchao.com shook hands with him a little excitedly, "I have long admired your name! You have always been the idol of our entrepreneurs in Xia!"

Tao Zhiming smiled and shook hands modestly: "I'm overwhelmed. Last year, I carried out financial operations as in the past, but I didn't expect that someone would play their cards out of common sense, stumbled, and ruined their reputation."

"Where is there..." Wang Dong didn't know whether he should go deeper, and the topic changed immediately, "Our Xinchao.com is now the world's largest Xiaren portal website, and domestic information is still blocked, and the internationally accepted practice is not yet available. We need to study and research a lot. The development of Xinchao.com also requires more advice from Director Tao.”

"Xinchao.com is really good." Tao Zhiming smiled, "It's just that my reputation in the mainland is not very good. Mr. Wang hopes to introduce us for the second round of investment, isn't he afraid of being criticized?"

"This director Tao is overthinking." Wang Dong replied with certainty, "The policy of economic development will not be shaken. The Internet is a high-tech industry, which is also strongly supported by the state. Regarding our introduction of foreign capital and rapid development abroad, the leaders It is also strongly supported. Director Tao, just looking at the popularity of the Internet sector in Nasdaq, investing in Xinchao.com is definitely a matter of participating in grand events, creating history and having a bright future.”

He paused, and said firmly: "We want to be the first Xia country Internet company listed in the United States!"

Tao Zhiming sized them up with interest and surprise, and then exclaimed: "Amazing, your thinking is very clear! It's only been two months since the official establishment, are you already preparing for the listing?"

"Of course! We are the first Internet company in the mainland to introduce venture capital, and our management philosophy can also keep up with it." Wang Dong didn't plan to do it all at once, and sincerely invited, "Although Xinchao.com was officially established, it was only two month, but there have been 2 years of foundation before. If Director Tao can arrange the time, I hope that Director Tao can go to Yanjing to see how we are doing and give some advice.”

"You don't need to look at it." Tao Zhiming seemed very satisfied with their vigor, "You are two years younger than me, just call Tao Brother. After contacting Lao Zhao, he has already done a background check. I have read it. The potential is indeed great. How much do you want for this financing?”

Wang Dong's heart suddenly moved, and he tentatively stated his previous thoughts: "Our risk round was completed according to the pre-money valuation of 850 million yuan, and the post-money valuation was 1500 million yuan. In this round, we Its pre-money valuation is 4500 million yuan, and it wants to raise 1500 million yuan. It plans to promote the third round of financing within this year, and the goal is to go public next year!"

Tao Zhiming looked at him meaningfully: "If you plan to go public next year, it will indeed start operation this year."

"Brother Tao is familiar with the major banks in the United States, and the shareholders of our venture round also recommend that Brother Tao lead the second round of endorsement. In this case, the hope of going public next year is very high."

No need to speak so clearly, Tao Zhiming also understands their train of thought.

Originally, Xinchao.com was a very fast-paced capital operation case, catching up with the listing in 2000 when the Internet bubble was at its most frenetic.

At this juncture, there is no need for such a complex benefit evaluation model.Just relying on the concept of being the first Xiaguo Internet company listed on Mi, it is very gimmick.

Coupled with Tao Zhiming's contacts and endorsements, it will only become more popular.

Although Xiangdao broke his undefeated golden body, it was "a crime not committed by war" after all. Xiangfu and Xiaguo didn't play their cards according to common sense!

Their gang of financial giants set off a financial tsunami and swept across this large area and several countries. It may be a kind of influence.

Tao Zhiming thought for a while and said: "The valuation of the investment can be renegotiated, 1500 million yuan is less. The value can be piled up indirectly through the financing amount. I can use the Dow Group and the New Millennium Vision Investment Fund for this sum. Invest 2000 million yuan, and Sun Zhengyi with Neon Softbank will invest another sum, plus the follow-up investment in the venture round, and the financing will be 3000 million!"

Wang Dong was stunned: "This... is a bit too much?"

He was excited and worried that the management's stake would be diluted too much.

Valuation renegotiation, of course, it is impossible to discuss higher.

Tao Zhiming made his statement and said no more: "Think about it, I don't care about the business. It has not yet entered the profit period. After the listing, I can slowly withdraw. Since the goal is to go public first, then focus on the listing. Let’s come up with a plan, so that everyone’s expectations will be clear.”

After sending them off, Zhao Yuanxi returned to his office and frowned: "Is the prospect really that good? I can't see it. Getting up so early, capital involvement is so deep, it is likely to make a mess? Are you going to just pass Make a fortune by going public? What if it falls when it goes public, and it’s too late to sell the shares?”

Tao Zhiming looked at their current equity status with a smile.

Wang Dong also made the Xiawen operating system at the beginning, and at one point won 80% of the domestic microcomputer Xiawen pre-installed system.Of course, with the release of win95 and win98, this is already a history of the past.

That's the case, after all, they are the earliest wavers in the domestic Internet industry.After receiving venture capital to acquire another company and formally transforming it into a portal website, Wang Dong himself has less than 20% of the shares.

If you want to push it to the market quickly, it would be good if the proportion of their founding teams can add up to more than 10%.

I just want to go fast in everything, and I just want to use capital to sprint, so naturally I have to pay a price.

Tao Zhiming said lightly: "Whether it's going up or down, what am I afraid of? If it goes up, I'll make money. If it goes down, I might be able to buy the bottom and take the market."

In the Internet stock market crash in 2001, Amazon’s stock price fell from 100 to 9 million yuan, and the stock prices of IT giants such as Intel evaporated by more than 80%.

Zhao Yuanxi's heart skipped a beat: "Do you want to... start from Xinchao.com to deploy Internet media in the Mainland?"

"That's right." Tao Zhiming looked at him, "The door of the country has been opened. In the market-oriented competition, there are some positions that we don't want to occupy, and someone will naturally occupy them. Now that I have a good status, I will have many opportunities in the future. No need It's too early to deliberately do something, but when the moment of turmoil comes, I have the ability to change the direction of the wind!"

Zhao Yuanxi is still in awe of him sending the Gewa away like that, and even feels outrageous that he was able to issue national bonds through various countries and have Xia Guo subscribe for part of it after he "lost" in Xiangdao so badly.

After that, only Kashima's world where everyone was injured was achieved.

He has obviously reached a tacit understanding with Yanjing, and there is still a lot of trust between the two parties.

If not, why did Yanjing later state that the financial incident in Xiangdao was just a special practice in a special period, and it still actively participates in international cooperation with an open mind, and welcomes investment...

In addition to the folks, there are many people talking about it, but the officials have been avoiding it.This is to deliberately cool down and show favor to international investment.

Anyway, everyone is not losing money, and the price seems to be borne only by everyone in Zhou Kingdom and Xiangdao.

But the more this is the case, the more Zhao Yuanxi is afraid of the next real dispute.

The next time, it should be the time for him to really express his position and break up with his closest allies and fight decisively, right?What is the hole card?

Zhao Yuanxi didn't dare to ask, so he just nodded: "Since you have made up your mind, then I'll talk to them like this."

Tao Zhiming added with a smile: "There is no need to press the pre-investment valuation too hard, and it is necessary to set a good example for others."

He stood by the window and looked towards the direction of the mainland with a smile: "I hope all the rich people in the mainland will come to be friends with me and trust me."

Zhiming Trust's pocket in Xiangdao has also been opened.

Back at the villa in Repulse Bay, one of the cards that Zhao Yuanxi didn't know was actually here.

Duan Lanyue looked at Tao Zhiming in awe, stood beside him and said, "Boss, the 200 billion yuan in the direction of Nasdaq has already been bought."

Tao Zhiming nodded: "Whether the Y[-]K statement is true or not, don't change your strategy. Tell the masters over there to start selling after New Year's Day, don't worry about it continuing to rise, and replace it with empty orders at the end of the year. "

"...They won't ignore their hometown, right? If they also save the market, then..." Duan Lanyue thought to herself that you shouldn't really fail once.

Tao Zhiming simply said, "Do as I say."

"...Boss." Duan Lanyue gritted her teeth, and said, "They also hope...to hear more about why. Although the last time you had the back door of your transaction order, they gained so much, but it's not that they don't trust you ability. It’s just that after all, it’s America’s own stock market, so it’s hard to see the kind of big crash you mentioned, right? It’s all about their core interests.”

"It's just unreasonable, it's too high." Tao Zhiming said calmly, "Besides, if they don't earn what they expected this time, they will be even hungrier. During the interest rate hike cycle, how much capital from Asia has flowed to the United States? In order to crack down on the European side How much European capital has flowed through the euro that just started circulating on New Year’s Day? You need to listen to me to analyze these principles, and if they are pushed up, they will return to rationality. This is the law.”

Tao Zhiming left the room to accompany his wife and children, and the "nanny" Duan Lanyue continued to take care of her here, communicating with those people on the other side of this special network cable.

In any case, at this moment more than two years later, the amount of money is already close to 1500 billion yuan.

It's a ghostly number.This money accounted for 15% of Xia Guo's GDP last year.

The bulk of the money was initially given by Tao Zhiming, but in terms of the authorization process used, it was half and half.

After Tao Zhiming came to Xiangdao this time, he told her the goal of the next stage.

Ten years later, let this money exceed 1 trillion yuan.Among them, the holding ratio of U.S. treasury bonds should be increased from about 15% of the current total fund pool to 50% by means of decentralized accounts.

In other words, ten years later, is it equivalent to personally holding 5000 billion U.S. national debt?

As long as the direction of the money transfer is always in accordance with his opinion, then the essence is such an effect!

Duan Lanyue became more and more thirsty. After finishing what she had to do, she carefully turned off the computer here, and then came to the living room and whispered to Tao Zhiming: "I think... I need to invite a few more at home. nanny……"

It is really difficult for her to shoulder such a heavy responsibility alone!The main thing is... the mood is always in an inexplicable excitement and excitement, which may not be good for the body.

Tao Zhiming glanced at her indifferently: "Why do you need so many nannies?"

Duan Lanyue thinks about it too, after all, her main job is just to be a "crypto tool guy" and a "megaphone".

One person is enough and safer.

But when will such a day be the end?
