Love? I'm reborn and I just want to get rewards

Chapter 324 Clearing the Obstacles
Zuo Zongcai has been very busy recently.

Xiao Gu already had multiple overseas companies under his name, which contained some scattered assets. Zuo Zongcai's most important task in the near future was to stuff things into them.

In fact, Gu Jiuyue also controlled such a fund in later generations. However, history has already taken a turn. At her strong request, the name of the domestic main platform was changed to Tianyi Investment Holding (Group) Co., Ltd.

The final Tianyi Holdings will have a market value of approximately 20 billion yuan, with a structure of 4.18 billion in cash + Anyue Property Management Company + Hongyue Overseas Investment Fund + Lanyue Financial Management Company + 9% Byte shares + % BILI shares + Kaiwo Group, Jinling Changan, Megvii Technology, Huayun Data, Tianshu Zhixin, etc.

The latter one, etc., omits more than a hundred startup companies.

Gu Tongshu is just a tough-mouthed person with a soft heart. He kept complaining and cursing about Zuo Zongcai helping the bastards to cheat him out of his money, but when he was allocating assets to his daughter, he transferred all the emerging technology companies he had invested in in recent years.

All of them are concentrated in the emerging fields of new energy, big data, artificial intelligence, and smart manufacturing of the Internet of Things.

From Su Huai's perspective, they are all top assets.

If one tenth of them could survive, it would be like picking up money while lying down.

But there was also some confusion - the financial management company was responsible for the financial management of the entire group and the financial supervision of the invested companies, and the person in charge was 100% the supervisor sent by Gu Tongshu.

As for those overseas investment funds, they mainly engage in cross-border ETF arbitrage and exchange rate differences. Their scale is only about US$5 million, and their annualized rate of return is stable between 4% and 6%.

Well, in Su Huai's opinion, Hongyue can also be regarded as God's reserve treasury.

After the assets were almost assembled, Zuo Zongcai ran to the school to meet Gu Jiuyue and Su Huai. During the meal, he reminded them meaningfully:
"You can spend the money. Mr. Gu won't stop you if he's willing to give it to you. But when you spend it, you must have a basic understanding in your mind - power comes from ability, not position. There are many more people watching you than you expected..."

This sentence was said to Su Huai, and had nothing to do with Xiao Gu at all.

Because everyone knows that although it was Xiao Gu who gave the orders, it must be Su Huai who made the decisions behind the scenes. Yueyue has no intention of running a group company.

In fact, the heads of various departments have assigned her elite soldiers and capable generals, so whether she is in charge or not, everyone works the same way.

"I don't have time to help you run the group, Yueyue, you should choose a general assistant for yourself first."

Zuo Zongcai opened the tablet and showed the list to Gu Jiuyue.

"The ones in front are orphans your family has supported since they were young, and the ones in the back are talents you have trained with the Gu family's scholarship fund since college. See who you like and call them over for an interview later."

Su Huai watched for a while and was almost dazzled by their academic qualifications.

To be on the list, you need to have undergraduate degrees from Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan University, or Jiaotong University. You can also study for your master's degree at world-renowned universities. You need to have a double degree, cross-disciplinary, and have amazing internship experience...

Any one of them deserves an annual salary of one million.

He couldn't help but ask, "When did the Gu family start supporting orphans?"

"It was more than 20 years ago. The oldest recipient was almost 40 years old."

Zuo Zongcai looked at Su Huai, smiled and blinked: "The Gu Tongshu you thought of and the actual Gu Tongshu are more or less different~~~"

Su Huai pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xiao Gu quickly picked one, pointed at a woman, and asked Su Huai for his opinion: "Su Su, what do you think of her?"

Hua Yanqing, female, 28 years old, graduated from Tsinghua University with a bachelor's degree in law, and holds a double master's degree in management and accounting from the University of Pennsylvania Business School. She has more than 20 certificates of various types. She interned in the investment banking department of Goldman Sachs for one year, and after returning to China, she has been interning at the head office of Gu Group ever since.

She has a pretty face, and her photos without makeup would score 80 points. She has a rather cool temperament, and overall gives people the impression of being the heroine in a modern workplace drama.

Compared with other candidates, her disadvantage is her age, and her advantages are her appearance and gender.

——There are several men over 35 on the list, with better resumes and obviously stronger abilities and stability.

"Well, it's pretty impressive, but the most important thing is that you like it."

Su Huai didn't give any advice. She should be the one to choose her chief assistant.

"Then it's her and Mo Honghong."

Gu Jiuyue quickly made up his mind and picked two women.

In fact, it is more durable for men to be chief assistants. This position is not for serving people closely, but for running around like a slave. Just look at Zuo Zongcai.

But since Xiao Gu is willing to use women, Su Huai naturally has to support it.

"Then please take some time to interview me, and then we can start doing our first business."

"The loan from Chu Changkuo?"

Gu Jiuyue knew a little bit, and asked with little interest: "Why should we give him the money?"

"Because we don't have a suitable investment target and can't find one in a short period of time, the 20 billion cash is idle in the account and can only be managed by the most basic interbank management. The annual interest rate will not exceed 1.8%, so we must first put this money into motion."

Su Huai explained patiently, speaking to both her and Zuo Zongcai.

"Fund management is a long-term systematic project. Short-term liquidity, medium-term coverage, and long-term return expectations must be organically unified. We should not be too aggressive or too cautious. We may not make much money by providing a one-year loan to Kuo Kuo's family, but we can avoid the waste of idle funds and demonstrate our ability and skills to the group's senior executives, killing two birds with one stone."

"Oh!"

Gu Jiuyue suddenly realized: "You know so much!"

Zuo Zongcai also gave Su Huai a look of approval: "The idea is very good, steady, pragmatic, and high-level. It seems that you are really capable of managing a fortune of tens of billions. But..."

He frowned and asked solemnly: "The most important thing about external lending is security. Have you considered this?"

Su Huai made things clear in just a few words.

"The borrower is the builder of the Baizhifang renovation project, and the developer is under the Financial Street Group. After our intervention, we can control the repayment process and then talk to the bank. It's foolproof."

Zuo Zongcai was stunned: "How do you know that Mr. Gu is familiar with the Financial Street Group?"

"No need for him to be familiar with it."

Su Huai smiled and waved his hand: "I can talk to Wan Fangjiang and settle the matter with the chairman of the developer Xuanxing."

Zuo Zongcai was more and more surprised: "You even dealt with Wan Fangjiang?!"

Su Huai glanced at Xiao Gu and said with a smile: "It was his son who called the police that day. He came to my place to have a chat a few days ago and was quite polite."

Su Huai's description was very subtle, not the annoying style of taking advantage of others and then pretending to be nice.

He has different strategies for dealing with different people.

"I see."

Zuo Zongcai suddenly realized, pondered for a moment, and said kindly: "Then you might as well keep the favor, and I will take care of this matter for you. Wan Fangjiang can do a lot of things in the capital."

Su Huai readily agreed: "Alright, I'll trouble you again."

"It's not a big deal." Zuo Zongcai did not take credit for it. "After all, being responsible for Yueyue's money is my job."

"Then wait until they have prepared the information, and I will bring it to you for your review."

"Okay, let's talk later."

The two of them immediately put this billion-dollar business aside and stopped wasting time on it.

Because it is not necessary.

The number of 10 billion is not big in itself, and the rate of return is so low, there is really no need to pay attention to it.

Zuo Zongcai used this incident to educate Gu Jiuyue: "Yueyue, you have to start to understand what an investment company does and where the focus of the work is.

For an investment company of Tianyi's size, using 10 billion to invest in 100 startups, giving each one 1000 million, is called big business and needs to be treated with all efforts, because if a unicorn is created, the return can be dozens or hundreds of times.

However, temporarily lending out 10 billion yuan is not worth wasting energy on, even if the annual return rate is 50%.

Because this is a chance opportunity, the high rate of return cannot be sustained for a long time, and there is no additional value..."

Gu Jiuyue understood immediately and nodded gently: "Uncle Zuo, I understand the difference between the main business and the side business."

"How clever! A good father will have a good daughter~~~"

Zuo Zongcai was a little reserved when praising Gu Gu, but when he turned around and talked to Su Huai, he was more cautious than kind.

"I have brought the Byte shares you wanted. How many Xingyu shares are you prepared to exchange for them?"

But Su Huai was not in a hurry.

"Wait a little longer. Now is not the right time. I have to stabilize my grades and let Uncle Gu see clearly that I am not committing fraud."

"Yes, that's a manly thing to say."

Zuo Zongcai was very satisfied and was eager to wait for Xingyu to develop further before making a fair exchange.

From his point of view, the potential of Xingyu is similar to that of ByteDance. The former has a low market value but strong profitability, while the latter has a high market value but also high risks. It would be better to delay it.

But from Su Huai's perspective, Xingyu is in a period of explosive growth, and ByteDance's market value will not increase much before 18. Exchanging shares after half a year is the most advantageous option.

At that time, no one could have imagined that TikTok, which had just been launched, would sweep the world five years later.

This gap in information has led to a significant weakening of the value of bytes.

Many investment institutions even believe that US$200 billion is ByteDance's upper limit, and being acquired by one of the AT companies is its inevitable fate.

Well, if TikTok hadn't taken off and Neihan Duanzi had caused some trouble, the best outcome for ByteDance would indeed be to be acquired by Tengxun. Anyway, it would be much better than being acquired by Alibaba.

But there is no if, everyone underestimated Byte's algorithm, including Lao Gu and Lao Zuo.

So Su Huai was destined to take advantage of this.

Of course, Brother Huai, I’m not going for the money. ByteDance shares are in our hands, and we can make more use of them than Lao Gu. What does he know about the new traffic era?
If you have gold coins, use them quickly; the longer you wait, the more you waste.

Thinking about all sorts of things in his mind, Su Huai smiled like a sunny boy: "Uncle Zuo, I don't want to be a man anymore. Now is the time to beg - can you please hurry up with the building matter? Our company is expanding too fast, and we are short of everything..."

"You, you, you!"

Zuo Zongcai had never been chased for benefits like he is now.

He pointed at Su Huai again and again, but in the end he still couldn't do anything.

"Give me another month and a half, and I will definitely give you a complete vacancy before the Lunar New Year."

Su Huai gave him a look, and Xiao Gu immediately flattered him: "Uncle Zuo is the best, thank you for your hard work!"

Drink coffee instead of wine, clink glasses and slurp.

The adorable little Gu made Zuo Zongcai's scalp tingle. He quickly changed the subject, fearing that he would be blamed by the black and white evil couple again.

“How many anchors does the company have?”

"About thirty-five thousand."

"Huh?" Zuo Zongcai's eyes widened. "How can there be so many? I checked the data. There are only about 10 anchors on the entire network, right?"

Su Huai nodded: "Almost. We account for 30%, but most of them are online signings and they are cannon fodder that won't last long."

"With such a high market share, how do you stay so calm?" Zuo Zongcai swallowed and gained a new understanding of Xing Yu's potential and Su Huai's steadiness.

“This general market share is useless.”

Su Huai shrugged and replied casually: "Only when we are number one on every platform and let new platforms actively ask us to join, can we be considered to have made some achievements."

Zuo Zongcai was a little scared.

"Your ambition is much greater than that of Lao Gu when he was young. You are really the young to be feared!"

"It's a matter of time. It's normal."

Su Huai grinned.

By 2025, there will be 1500 million anchors in the country. The state will issue a document to list online anchors as a formal profession. Within two years, industry standards and professional certificates will be issued. At that time, the % market share will be meaningful.

Now? Just kidding.

Su Huai, who had the experience of later generations, could not be proud at all. Instead, he felt a sense of urgency and urgency.

"Uncle Zuo, we will start selecting locations to build a branch office after the New Year. Can you recommend a few buildings for us?"

Zuo Zongcai was so scared that he kept waving his hands like he was waving a flower.

"Don't look for me. Anyue Property Management is the right company for this job. They are much more professional... By the way, you can look for Lao Gu tomorrow and take on a concurrent position as a vice president or something in Tianyi. Wouldn't it be legitimate for you to order the people below to work for you?"

"Uncle Zuo~~~"

Gu Jiuyue laughed and said coquettishly, "It would be fine if you didn't help, but why do you take the time to sow discord between us at this time?"

Su Huai thinks this is a good idea. It's my good friend's company, so what's wrong with me using nepotism to get the position of vice president?
He Qingheli!

"Okay, okay, I won't bother you with this for now. I'll talk to Uncle Gu. Remember to help me out~"

hiss……

Zuo Zongcai took a breath of cold air.

If I wasn't careful, I would get stuck to him again!

Lao Zuo hurriedly finished discussing business, paid the bill and left.

This kid is so evil, shameless but also very methodical. I have been competing with him in wits and courage every day, but I always suffer losses... It's so uncomfortable.

However, after returning to the company, he still praised Su Huai to Gu Tongshu.

"Xing Yu's potential is much higher than expected. Your precious daughter won't suffer any loss!"

Gu Tongshu didn't believe it: "Is it really that good?"

Zuo Zongcai threw the "Live Broadcasting Industry Market Analysis" report in front of him and sneered, "With such a big market, he can eat up 70% of the midstream by himself. How big is the piece of meat? You can calculate it yourself."

Gu Tongshu pondered for a while, as if thinking about something, and then sighed.

"Okay, if he wants Byte, give it to him. Find a time to talk to Zhang Yiming for me."

In this way, Su Huai completely cleared the last obstacle to embracing Byte.

And now, there is still a whole year before Tik Tok explodes...
