Reborn 10 years later: First, save 100 million Bitcoins

Chapter 43: I'll invest 100 million in you

I initially thought the people at the next table were just bragging, but unexpectedly, I stumbled upon the childhood of a true big shot.

The man in front of me, Mr. Lei, will definitely become a business tycoon in the future, with the Mi Zhou Group having a total market value of nearly one trillion.

It's hard to imagine that at this very moment, someone is worrying about an investment of 50.

I heard they might even disband?

No, disbanding is definitely not going to happen. It's just that the current situation is indeed very pessimistic, leading to the mistaken belief that there is a possibility of disbanding.

That's true. Given the current situation, let alone 500,000, even if seven people order a 68-yuan crab congee, you can see just how difficult things are for the team right now.

As a result, some members of the team said that they might have to disband.

Faced with such discouraging words, General Manager Lei naturally had to keep everyone's spirits up.

"I know you may lack confidence right now, but rest assured, as long as we are united, we will surely succeed."

"As for the 50 investment, I'll talk to Mr. Wang again on Friday. I think it should be fine."

"If all else fails, I'll give him an extra 1% of the shares. Anyway, don't be discouraged."

As soon as Lei finished speaking, someone else couldn't help but speak up.

"But Mr. Lei, if we still can't get this 50 investment by Friday, we really won't be able to hold on any longer."

"Yes, Mr. Lei. Moreover, with our first investment of 10, we gave them 5% of the shares, but this time, with 50, we only gave Mr. Wang 6% of the shares. This is discriminatory treatment."

"After all, one person spent 10 to get 5% of the shares, while the other spent 50 to get 6% of the shares. They must feel it's unfair."

Xiao Feng heard all of these conversations clearly.

Good guy.

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up.

I think I understand now.

The first person to invest in rice porridge actually acquired a 5% stake with just 10 yuan.

However, acquiring a 5% stake for 10 yuan was, after all, the first investment that Mi Zhou received at that time.

Even so, if you want to invest now, you only need 50 to get a 6% stake in Rice Porridge.

50 (6%).

If nothing unexpected happens, as long as these 6% shares are held, they will be worth 60 billion when the Rice Porridge Group reaches a market value of one trillion in the future.

Xiao Feng was both surprised and delighted.

At the same time, Mr. Lei also provided an explanation.

"I know you're all worried, but don't worry, I'm sure I'll be able to reach an agreement this Friday."

"If Mr. Wang is still unwilling to invest 50, then if all else fails, I will give him an additional 3% of the shares."

"Give him 8% of the shares for 50, I don't believe he wouldn't consider it."

"What if you still don't want to consider it?" asked the boy in the plaid shirt and glasses next to him.

This question really put Mr. Lei to a complete standstill.

For a moment, Lei didn't know how to answer.

Yes, if we can't get that 50 investment, then all our previous efforts will be wasted.

Lei picked up a spoon, intending to ladle out a bowl of crab congee, hoping to use the time while drinking it to think about how to answer, but then…

It turned out that the crab congee in the clay pot was almost empty...

Helpless, I could only put down the spoon... and pondered for a few seconds:

"If I still can't get the 50 investment by Friday, I'll think of other ways. I believe there will always be someone with investment acumen who will see the potential in our team."

"Boss!" Just then, Xiao Feng waved to the congee shop owner: "Give the table next door a 268-yuan crab congee, and two servings of stir-fried clams."

The crab congee at 268 yuan is a super large portion, enough for 4 to 6 people. Paired with stir-fried clams, it's a perfect match.

"Okay, here you go, to the table next door, right?"

"Yes, it's on me. I'll pay the bill in a bit."

Xiao Feng's actions immediately attracted the attention of the people at the next table.

Several people looked at each other.

谁的朋友？

After a three-second pause, Lei quickly greeted him with a smile.

"Young man, what... what's this?"

Although Lei Zong is still young, he is already over 30 years old, so it is reasonable for him to call Xiao Feng "little brother".

"You're welcome." Xiao Feng smiled without any hesitation, "I overheard your conversation just now and found it very inspiring."

"Honestly, if your mobile phone is successfully released in the future, I will definitely be the first user."

Xiao Feng's two short sentences immediately bridged the gap between the two.

In particular, you should be the first user.

This is the best support and encouragement for a small team that has just started out.

"No problem, no problem." Lei then turned to his team and said, "Look, we already have users making reservations in advance. We should work even harder and not give up."

Lei will not let go of any opportunity that can motivate the team.

It's clear that he's someone who can accomplish great things.

"Young man," Boss Lei continued with a smile, "Don't worry, we won't eat your seafood porridge for nothing. You'll not only be our first customer, but you'll also become a shareholder of my Rice Porridge Group."

"Here's what we'll do: this seafood congee is 268. If it's successful in the future, you'll forever own 1% of my congee group's shares."

I lost it!

Xiao Feng found it outrageous.

That's incredibly extravagant!

In a sense, this is equivalent to exchanging a seafood porridge for 100 billion.

"How can that be?" Xiao Feng feigned politeness, his tone more like a joke: "I just heard you say that 50 only gets you 6% of the shares, and you're giving me 1% for this seafood porridge?"

"It's different," Lei said with a smile. "That 50 yuan was an investment I had to talk myself hoarse to get, but you're different. You willingly trusted us and are our first user, so you deserve extra privileges."

In normal circumstances, the conversation between the two parties would simply feel like they were praising each other, nothing more.

Lei was just saying it casually; after all, given the current situation, it's still a question whether the team can actually hold on.

If we don't get that 50 investment by Friday, it's very likely we'll have to dissolve the business on Friday.

However… Xiao Feng seized the opportunity while joking around.

"From what you just said, it seems like it's very difficult to get that 50 investment?" Xiao Feng asked, feigning doubt.

Upon hearing this, Lei's smile froze slightly, then turned into a wry smile.

"Hey, young man, I won't lie to you. To be honest, it's really difficult for a small team like ours, in its early stages, to attract investment."

"I've made over a dozen trips to secure this investment, but the main problem is that people are unwilling to believe in us and think we're unlikely to succeed. So, this 50 yuan investment is indeed very difficult to obtain."

After saying that, Mr. Lei couldn't help but sigh again.

Although there was some despair, there was still a sense of unwillingness in his eyes.

Xiao Feng listened attentively to every word and nodded seriously.

"So how much money do you still need?" Xiao Feng asked casually.

Without much thought, Lei blurted out, "Don't even mention it. The budget for this second phase is at least 50, and it would be even better if we had a budget of 60."

"Okay, you don't need to go looking for other investors, I'll invest this money."

"???"

Everything happened so suddenly.

Xiao Feng's words startled everyone.

The other six members of the team looked at each other, as if they had misheard.

As for Lei, he was so excited that he accidentally knocked the spoon out of his bowl.

"Young...young brother," Lei's Mandarin had become much more fluent, "What did you just say? You're going to invest in us? 50? Are you sure?"

These three questions... I desperately wanted to hear the clearest answer.

The rest of the team also turned their attention to Xiao Feng.

In those brief few seconds... it was as if everyone's breathing stopped.

Everyone's eyes are fixed on Xiao Feng!

"No..." Xiao Feng shook his head and slowly took a sip of porridge.
