If you cheat, money will follow

Since withdrawing from the Internet Whampoa Military Academy, Rebus has always been an independent investor in the Internet.

He has invested in more than a dozen projects with several capitals, such as UCWEB, YY Voice, Duokan, etc.

Overall a huge profit.

But judging from his self-report, he has been reviewing it in pain.

Looking back at the legendary Internet opportunities he missed in those years, such as Google.

In the late 90s, he went to North America for inspection and noticed Google, a newly emerging company.

He even specifically analyzed the characteristics and model of this company and believed that it has great potential.

After the analysis, there was no follow-up action due to various factors, causing him to miss the biggest treasure of the last century.

He has always been unwilling to exist in the Internet industry simply as an investor.

He wants to start again, that is, to participate deeply and stand at the forefront of the Internet wave.

What he wants to do is not a project worth hundreds of millions, but a big project worth tens of billions.

As a result, he keenly captured opportunities from the mobile phone industry.

Last year, that is, 09 years.

The industry's long-awaited 3G licenses were awarded to three operators, and the industry began to dream about the 3G era.

The emergence of IPHONE redefined mobile phones.

As a result, the number of smartphones has increased by 08 million compared to 330, and IPHONE's own market share has also increased to 14.4%;

Rebus saw an opportunity in it. A historic opportunity worth tens of billions seemed to be right in front of him.

Opportunities on the Internet have always been fleeting, and this time he was unwilling to miss it.

He used the contacts he had accumulated over the years to attract investments and used the contacts he had made over the years to form an entrepreneurial team.

When I was about to set off again, I found that I didn't have enough funds.

The mobile phone industry is different from the previous software industry.

The software industry can rely on its head and hands to create a world.

Mobile phones are not good. It is not only a technology-heavy industry, but also a capital-heavy industry.

It requires hardware, supply chain security hardware, and a lot of money to secure the supply chain.

Therefore, he took the initiative to approach Leda Investment, hoping that Leda Investment would make an investment.

He has a good relationship with Zhao Zhiwei of Leda. In the past year, Leda Investment has invested in hundreds of start-up projects, including the projects invested by Rebus.

Although, currently, about hundreds of start-up projects, about 90% will not reach the A round.

However, Leda Investment's reputation as a "good-hearted" investor has already been established and its reputation has spread far and wide, so this is not considered a loss.

After listening to Rebus's nonsense for more than 5 hours, Zhao Zhiwei adhered to the concept that investment projects are not as good as investors, and decided to invest 500 million US dollars to test the waters.

After Zeng Xi found out, he thought that Chang Le had mentioned Rebus to him.

At that time, Chang Le said this: Rebus is a very good person, and we can invest in all the projects he invests in.

Zeng Xi thought that Chang Le admired Rebus, so he met with Rebus. After listening to Rebus for two hours about his goals, ideals, beliefs, and feelings, Zeng Xi said: Our boss is very optimistic about you.

When Rebus heard this, he thought there was nothing more to say.

Immediately, he climbed up the pole and proposed to meet Chang Le. He wanted to invest more, so this meeting was facilitated.

The meeting place was a noodle shop in Zhongguancun.

Rebus was wearing a woolen suit, dark blue jeans and a pair of white sneakers, with a backpack on his back.

This is a typical style of pragmatic IT migrant workers, and the iconic three-quarter hairstyle is very sexy.

This noodle shop is doing very well. The chili peppers in the dandan noodles become more and more fragrant the more you eat them, and you can get extra noodles for free.

Chang Le and Jiang Xia didn't have breakfast, and it happened to be lunch time, so they had breakfast and lunch together.

Rebus had eaten something before he came, just in case he couldn't talk freely and lost his appetite.

However, seeing Chang Le and Jiang Xia, a young and handsome pair, they were so friendly together, and there was no sense of separation, and they also ate a big bowl of dandan noodles with them.

I was a little full after eating, and while chatting, I burped one after another.

Rebus took out the business plan he had used countless times from his backpack.

All he can show others now is his business plan.

Then, he explains clearly and logically the "triathlon" model of hardware, software, and the Internet that has been deduced countless times in his heart.

That is: making a smartphone with the highest configuration and ultimate performance;

Equipped with deeply customized system and application APP with excellent experience;

Bypassing all intermediate links through e-commerce channels and pushing products to users efficiently according to cost price;

Achieve business monetization through continuous provision of Internet services.

Once this was done, corpses were scattered all over the country in the copycat workshops.

Top specs, though? Extreme performance? Cost price? Eliminate all the middlemen? Commercial monetization of Internet services?

If another person explains this model, there is a high probability that they will be regarded as a fraudster who defrauds people from financing.

Ray defrauds, no, Rebus does not. On the one hand, he is already a successful person, and very successful.

Therefore, before meeting Chang Le, he had already passed the business plan and received US$4000 million in financing;

Moreover, the realistic foundation to support his "triathlon" model is already in place.

However, Chang Le doesn't care about this.

Looking at the past life, even though the rice factory has created one big miracle after another, from the perspective of pure basic technology, it still has not got rid of its positioning as a integrator, and the gap with the chrysanthemum factory is relatively large.

If it weren't for nationwide restrictions in North America, rice mills would be in a very difficult situation.

Changle is more concerned about its all-encompassing ecological chain.

The rice factory ecological chain covers all aspects of daily life, and various weird ecological chain products are launched one after another.

Can you imagine a company that makes and sells mobile phones, but also sells building blocks, shoes, earpicks, Rubik's cubes, garbage bags, nail clippers, towels, faucets...?

The rice factory promotes all these things. Although it does not produce them itself, it still puts its brand on them.

Therefore, the ecological chain is very long and large, but we have not yet seen where it is strong.

Chang Le was curious about what power this ecological chain would eventually have, and he wanted to come in and take a look.

After patiently listening to Rebus' nonsense explanation, Chang Le nodded frequently and then praised:

"It's a very thoughtful and interesting model. So, Mr. Lei, how much do you value this company and how many shares can you give me?"

"Uh?" Rebus was stunned for a moment. Are we talking about money? No preparation at all.

No questions to ask?

Has he wanted to vote for a long time?

Did I deliver it to your door?

Rebus rationalized his thoughts: "Mr. Chang, based on the financing situation some time ago, I think the current valuation of our company should be set at around US$3 million, and the maximum number of shares that can be given out cannot exceed 20%."

When Chang Le heard this, he immediately stood up and shook hands with Rebus: "Deal!"

Rebus was speechless. Half of the noodles on his mouth were eaten, and the other half was left in the corner of his mouth: "..."

The Internet is so crazy, a business plan is worth 3 million US dollars.

In just over an hour of chatting, he received an investment of US$1 million.

Not to mention ordinary people, this number is difficult for many companies to achieve.

Jiang Xia sat next to him, holding his chin with his hands and looking at Chang Le with his head tilted, his eyes full of admiration and little stars.

My boyfriend is awesome!

"I only have one request, which is to ensure that the priority for subsequent investment is guaranteed and that the shares are no less than 15%."

Rebus thought for a moment and nodded immediately: "There is no problem with priority. This can be guaranteed."

"OK! Mr. Lei, I will arrange for Zhao Zhiwei to contact your company and make follow-up arrangements."

"Thank you, Mr. Chang. It's a pleasure to work with you!" Rebus thanked him.

"You're welcome, let's take a photo together. To be honest, I admire you very much, you are a legend." Chang Le praised.

An ordinary person reaches the pinnacle of life by relying only on his brain and hands.

"Really? Haha, thank you for the compliment. But it can't be compared with Leda, it pales in comparison." Rebus said modestly.

"It's just luck."

Jiang Xia called the waiter and handed the body camera to the waiter.

The waiter held up his camera and took a group photo of the three of them under the plaque outside the noodle shop.

In the photo, Chang Le and Rebus are holding hands, smiling naturally and wildly.

Chang Le's green military coat, which looked like a quilt, was extremely eye-catching.

Jiang Xia, who was next to Chang Le, smiled as gently as a bird clinging to someone.

After separating from Chang Le, Rebus quickly returned to the company, kicked open the door, and shouted to the busy team members:

"Brothers, I got money by cheating again."

"Damn it... how much did you cheat?"

"Just now, I met with the boss of Leda Investment and he promised to give me 6000 million US dollars. Tomorrow I will fly to Jiangzhou to sign the contract and get the check. Am I awesome?"

"Holy shit... 6000 million US dollars? You're such a great fraudster!"

"If you're awesome, then work harder, work harder, work harder, and work until you die!"

"Yes, do it to death!"
