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

Chapter 351 The Old Fox Who Turned

Gu Tongshu is a hawkish man who either does nothing or acts like thunder.

The next day when he went to the company, he talked about this matter with Zuo Zongcai.

"Another $30 billion exchange?!"

Zuo Zongcai was stunned, totally unable to understand: "What are you going to do? How can Yueyue use it?"

"Why can't she use it? She wants 20 billion to invest in ByteDance's E round."

Zuo Zongcai was even more puzzled: "Byte? Aren't Pan-Atlantic and SoftBank Vision following up? When you invited us before, you weren't interested."

Large investment institutions like them know what good companies and projects are on the market and who is following up.

Sometimes we compete, sometimes we cooperate, but we generally don’t change our original ideas easily.

"I wasn't interested, but Su Huai had a strong desire to invest in ByteDance. Now that he has his own share, he is trying to get Yueyue to join, so I changed my mind."

There was a hint of cold mockery in Gu Tongshu's eyes, a bit like a sneer, but without the deep malice of a sneer.

"Su Huai?!"

Zuo Zongcai's expression suddenly became serious: "Does he think highly of ByteDance?"

"Well, he came to my place yesterday and boasted to me. Although he didn't directly tell me the reason, he didn't try to hide his excitement."

"It's weird..."

Zuo Zongcai stood up and went back to his desk, took out a document, and looked through it with a frown.

"ByteDance's core products are Toutiao, Huoshan, Duanzi, and Douyin. After analysis, there is nothing special about them. What is he optimistic about?"

"Short video."

Gu Tongshu took the initiative to give the answer, saying decisively: "He believes that the development of long videos has reached its end, and he is highly optimistic that short videos will become the mainstream in the future!"

Zuo Zongcai took out another document and thought as he read it.

"However, the three major manufacturers' investment in long video platforms is increasing year by year. From the data model, the direct commercial value and derivative value of the long video field are absolutely at the highest level..."

Gu's company doesn't have any analysts who just sit there to do the work, and neither do the three major manufacturers.

The entire long video field covers so many things.

"Only long videos have the ability to fully digest copyrights. Long videos can create stars, while short videos can only create internet celebrities. Besides, isn't he also involved in boy bands and girl bands?"

Gu Tongshu smiled meaningfully and said, "Is there a possibility that he is aiming to mass-produce internet celebrities?"

"And then? Which one are you aiming at..."

Zuo Zongcai had just uttered half of his question when he suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened.

"What the hell! Is he targeting Taobao?!"

Zuo Zongcai is indeed a shrewd person, and Gu Tongshu is even more of an old fox. He nodded and asserted: "His traffic pool strategy and big internet celebrity layout will eventually land on the newly emerging live streaming e-commerce, and definitely not the sinking entertainment market."

"What the hell! What the hell?"

Zuo Zongcai jumped up, slammed the documents on the table, and began to walk back and forth in the office.

"You are so brave! You are such a wild boy, you dare to think and do it..."

“Have you paid attention to the supply chain he has put so much effort into building in the Yangtze River Delta?”

"Of course! Now it seems that they are obviously planning to abandon the Taobao system and start a new business..."

"That's right. We have the influencers and the supply chain. Now we just need a traffic distribution platform, which is most likely TikTok, Kuaishou, or his own platform in his plan!"

Zuo Zongcai blurted out: "Douyin is the first target! He never planned to invest in Kuaishou, he just split up the guild and made a spare move on Kuaishou Live!"

“I don’t think it’s necessarily a casual move.”

Gu Tongshu shook his head and guessed uncertainly: "Kuaishou's live broadcast ecosystem is a bit non-mainstream. Su Huai may not be disregarding Kuaishou, but he thinks that developing a guild on Kuaishou live broadcast is more cost-effective?"

"I'll ask someone to do an in-depth report right away."

Zuo Zongcai was extremely decisive. He gave orders on the spot and arranged temporary tasks.

The research and analysis department that received the task were all stunned and didn't understand why it was so sudden. This was obviously not Gu's normal style.

Who would have thought that the cause was just two old foxes thinking about a little fox?
The report could not be produced for the time being, but the two men were not idle and continued to plan.

"Do you think he can do it?"

"From the actual cases in the circle, it is very likely to be done, but to what extent can it be done? The platform is the key."

"No wonder he wanted to persuade Yueyue to join ByteDance..."

"Well, the more I thought about it yesterday, the more I felt something was wrong. I went back and thought about it for half the night, and finally decided to help Yueyue get it."

"You really trust him." Zuo Zongcai sneered maliciously, "You say you despise him as much as you can, but you treat him like a treasure behind his back."

Even someone as shameless as Gu Tongshu felt very uncomfortable.

"Cough cough."

He coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and said with a guilty conscience: "The bastard has some rules for doing business. Although it is very rude, but a generous person like me, how could I mind such a small matter? One thing for one thing..."

Zuo Zongcai laughed out loud: "That's a method. Xiao Su can work 20 hours a day. It is said that he can work for several days without making any mistakes. I have never seen such a monster."

Gu Tongshu couldn't help but curl his lips: "Otherwise, why should I trust him? After all, he has some skills."

Zuo Zongcai felt disgusted when he saw his face. Damn it, you know your son-in-law is so awesome, why are you showing off to me?
Have you forgotten how he grabbed your collar, pinned you to the ground and beat you until it hurt?
"So how are you going to get the money? 30 billion is not a small amount."

"Do you have any idea?"

"Pledge it?" Zuo Zongcai had a plan in mind and said slowly, "Don't irritate their sensitive nerves anymore. It was you who decided the strategic direction of Gu's overall expansion. It might not be a good idea to use the company's cash flow to subsidize Yueyue."

Gu Tongshu frowned. "Don't we have to explain the pledged stocks to everyone? We also have to face more scrutiny from the bank."

"That can't be helped!" Zuo Zongcai spread his hands. "30 billion US dollars, no matter where you buy it, it will alarm a lot of people. If you sell other personal assets, it will only make a bigger fuss."

Gu Tongshu propped up his chin and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, hesitantly, he said, "I want to sell my shares in Evergrande and Country Garden."

"Ah?!" Zuo Zongcai was stunned. "We have been investing in the real estate sector for many years. A large part of Gu's influence at home and abroad comes from the right to speak in the entire industry..."

There were no work secrets between Gu Tongshu and Zuo Zongcai. He would answer whatever the other party asked.

"Because Su Huai, that guy is working with Xiao Wang, and he's actually targeting their theater chain."

Zuo Zongcai understood immediately and said in astonishment: "Now they are eyeing core assets of that level? How did he judge that Yida might sell the film company?!"

"I don't know." Gu Tongshu shook his head. "He seems to have his own logic of judgment."

"Wait! This is too big..."

Zuo Zongcai rubbed his forehead, stood up, poured two glasses of red wine, fetched a box of cigars, sat down face to face with Gu Tongshu, and began to carefully analyze the matter. "Let's sort it out bit by bit. When did you determine that he had this tendency?"

Gu Tongshu smoked a cigar and fell into deep thought.

"Once, when we were having dinner at my house, I deliberately teased him. He didn't get angry, but when I mentioned Lao Wang, he showed an extremely subtle difference in treatment.

I have some admiration for Lao Wang, I am particularly dismissive of Xiao Wang, and I am a bit of a spectator.

His emotions were very subtle at the time, but I was sure I was right."

Zuo Zongcai helped sort it out: "So, he is highly pessimistic about your investment in real estate, and thinks it's a pity for Lao Wang, and then he concludes that Xiao Wang will not be able to succeed, right?"

"Correct."

"Well, let's take a look at what has happened in Yida in the past two years."

Zuo Zongcai lowered his head and wrote quickly.

His thinking was so clear that he got straight to the point in the first sentence: "Last year, Wanda Commercial Management was delisted from the Hong Kong stock market and started privatization. Lao Wang signed a bet agreement, promising to return to the A-share market and re-list next year."

Gu Tongshu added: "This year, Lao Wang, Lao Sun, and Lao Li from R&F have been trying to get us to form a strategic alliance. You know the reason."

"Well, it's beyond the line, let's not talk about it."

Zuo Zongcai nodded and continued writing: "In short, Lao Wang is now working hard to pay off his debts..."

Gu Tongshu said: "The fundamental reason for debt reduction is that the giants in the real estate industry are trying to shrink and huddle together to withstand this wave of trend changes caused by policies."

Zuo Zongcai was horrified: "So, Xiao Su's judgment is that even if the giants stick together for warmth, they will not be able to hold on in the end?"

Gu Tongshu did not answer directly, and his voice became a little deeper.

"Later, I deliberately talked to him about Xiao Wang's panda, and laughed at him for wasting his energy, saying that he could only make a little interest money after all the trouble, and it was a waste of time.

He smiled, then applied some medicine to me in front of Yueyue and asked Yueyue if she had the confidence to show me some color.

It may sound frivolous at first, but actually the mentality is very relaxed.

But do you know how he handles the internal affairs of Xingyu? He is very serious, very attentive, and pays great attention to details. "

Zuo Zongcai immediately made a precise analysis: "So he thinks that developing Xingyu requires greater vigilance, and the cost of making mistakes is very high. However, he thinks that the failure of Panda is irreversible and there is no need to worry about it. At the same time, he is absolutely sure that he can get what he wants through Panda."

"Yes, his judgment on Yida's future is higher than his grasp on Xingyu's development."

"But he is not familiar with Yida's internal affairs."

"Yes, so the answer is very simple: he drew all kinds of derivative conclusions based on his highly pessimistic view of the entire real estate market."

These two old men exposed Su Huai thoroughly while chatting.

In fact, Su Huai has been very careful to protect his own information, but there is no way. He can't avoid frequent contact with Gu Tongshu, and this old guy is very bad and has never given up observing him.

Zuo Zongcai frowned and said worriedly: "This kid Su Huai is really weird. His overseas investment fund started with 500 US dollars, focusing on gold, and the scale has expanded to million yuan early.

However, he was willing to invest his precious capital back into the domestic live broadcast track, and made Pei Shuyu a benchmark, successfully bringing Xingyu to its current level.

This means that he doesn’t care about money, but is really optimistic about the traffic business of internet celebrities.

Now, he is so pessimistic about the real estate industry, we should really be vigilant.”

Su Huai's system deposit channels had long been "cleared" by Gu Tongshu, and there was no flaw. It was a fund active in the gold market, making more profits than losses and expanding rapidly.

That is why Gu Tongshu and Zuo Zongcai attached so much importance to Su Huai's judgment.

It makes sense. Such a great record would be amazing to anyone.

Gu Tongshu raised his head, his expression somewhat melancholy.

After staring at the office lights for a while, he finally calmed down and said resolutely: "Sell all my personal real estate holdings. The reason is ready. Buy a property for my daughter."

Zuo Zongcai nodded gently: "Okay, we can take a look at the company's part, but the overall strategy can't be changed just like that."

After a pause, he continued, "But if you sell off billions of dollars at once, the company will always..."

"I've thought about it." Gu Tongshu interrupted.

"Ok?"

"Add Kuaishou and Xiaohongshu to the company's key investment targets. Su Huai doesn't want them, so we'll take them. This will be an explanation to everyone in Gu's company."

"Hiss...sure!"

Zuo Zongcai took a deep breath, then smiled happily.

"Yueyue took over Douyin alone, and we took over Kuaishou and Xiaohongshu. From now on, no one can blame us for being disloyal. You are still so sinister~~~"

Gu Tongshu smiled proudly: "When the time comes, we will hold a shareholders' meeting to solicit everyone's views on the real estate industry and follow the resolution. But I will definitely insist on turning to the short video track. In the end, it is likely that I will walk on two legs and delay overseas layout."

"Shame!" Zuo Zongcai gave a thumbs up, "You really are a non-stick pan!"

"Okay, when will the 30 billion be ready?"

"It will take some time, at least one month, three months guaranteed."

"Then I have to coax her again. Damn, raising a daughter is so troublesome!"

Gu Tongshu cursed and stood up to leave.

Zuo Zongcai gave him a middle finger, and it seemed that this old guy was so proud of having a beautiful daughter that he didn't know why.

When she sent him out, her last words were: "It's okay. I won't bother you for a few days. The girl has already prepared her own dowry and will follow Su Huai. You can rest assured~~~"

"Grass!"

Gu Tongshu turned around and was about to hit him, but the office door slammed shut, blocking him out.

At this time, Su Huai was still reinforcing the output concept to Gu Jiuyue.

"Remember, if he doesn't pay you, you will be in trouble. The shares of ByteDance must be placed in Tianyi. This is the capital for your future livelihood. Don't let those Gu guys take advantage of you."

Gu Jiuyue chuckled: "But, my last name is Gu too!"

Gou Huai's face was full of ruffian, mean and coquettish. "No one among those surnamed Gu is a good person, except you, so I will take you to fight them to the end! Just wait and see, let your grandparents jump around, sooner or later, one day, they will bow their heads and humbly beg you."

In fact, Gu Jiuyue didn’t care about these at all. What she was thinking was: What’s the use of me having money?
But then she thought: Money is useless to me, but Su Su is useful!

As God's will grows stronger, he will have support, so hard work is meaningful and there is nothing wrong with it.

Thinking of this, she smiled sweetly and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

She happily rested her chin on her best friend's arm and said confidently, "I can't sit up straight. Let me hold it for a while."

Su Huai took a look at the 30 billion dog food on the panel, then looked at the abandoned products of this month in the mall, and felt very puzzled.

What's going on? Is it so difficult to swipe a product that can cure diseases?
It’s been four months since February. When can I get what I want?
Could it be that... I really have to reach level 3 first?
