Reborn 10 years later: First, save 100 million Bitcoins

Gao Yuanming's office.

"Come, General Manager Xiao Feng, have a seat." Gao Yuanming lowered his posture and was very enthusiastic, even changing his form of address.

As expected of someone who can be a chairman, he immediately addressed Xiao Feng by his title, frantically reminding him of his current status.

Xiao Feng also looked relaxed and not at all shy, and sat down confidently.

Just as Gao Yuanming was about to speak, the phone in his pocket rang again.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call," Gao Yuanming said politely.

The call was connected.

It was Lao Liu calling from yesterday.

"Hey, Lao Gao, what's your decision? Are you going to sell it for 800 million or not? Don't blame me for not warning you, if the company really goes bankrupt, you won't even be able to sell it for 80."

On the other end of the phone, Lao Liu's tone remained arrogant.

Gao Yuanming had been holding back his anger for a long time: "Old Liu, just give up on that idea. Let's not even talk about whether I can get investment. Even if I really can't get it, even if it really falls through, I'm not going to sell it to you for 800 million."

"Fine, Lao Gao, then you'll regret it. I really don't believe anyone would be willing to invest in your video app."

"Beep beep beep..."

The person on the other end of the phone... hung up after speaking.

"Damn it!" Gao Yuanming stared at the disconnected phone, finally unable to hold back his curses: "You bastard!"

After he finished yelling, Gao Yuanming realized that he had lost his temper.

The main problem is that Xiao Feng heard everything clearly, from the content of their conversation to his own situation.

This is very disadvantageous for Gao Yuanming.

After all, Gao Yuanming invited Xiao Feng over to discuss investment and shareholding, but now... Xiao Feng has essentially heard with his own ears that someone is only willing to spend 800 million to acquire the company.

That means... the company might only be worth 800 million now.

If Gao Yuanming wants Xiao Feng to invest 500 million, he must offer more shares.

"Uh..." Gao Yuanming's stiff smile didn't look good: "General Manager Xiao, please don't mind that phone call just now."

"That guy... he's just taking advantage of my misfortune. My company is worth at least 2000 million."

"He wants to acquire it for 800 million, what's the difference between that and robbery?"

Gao Yuanming tried his best to explain himself, and also tried his best to prove that the company was worth more than 800 million... but 2000 million.

"Mr. Gao, there's no need for further explanation!" Xiao Feng gestured, "First of all, just call me Xiao Feng directly; it'll make me feel more comfortable."

"Secondly, there must be a reason why you suddenly promoted me to the position of deputy general manager today. Just tell me directly."

"Alright." Gao Yuanming took a deep breath. "Xiao Feng, then I'll get straight to the point."

"As you probably already know, my KS company is indeed facing a financial crisis and its cash flow has been disrupted."

"Without a large influx of funds, it will be very difficult to sustain operations, and we might even be unable to pay our employees' salaries."

"But..." Gao Yuanming was clearly unsure how to begin: "But... I happened to overhear someone telling me yesterday... that you... recently made 500 million from stock trading."

"So... Xiao Feng, let me be blunt, could you consider investing this 500 million into my company?"

"Don't worry, you know my company. It has great potential, especially since we're transitioning to the short video field recently."

"If you are willing to invest, once short videos successfully dominate the market, the return on this 500 million yuan will be much higher than what you would earn in the stock market."

"So, Xiao Feng, since you're now the general manager, could you lend the company a hand? I'm begging you."

After saying that, Gao Yuanming stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Feng without hesitation.

This move... was completely beyond Xiao Feng's expectations.

Gao Yuanming is even more sincere than I imagined, especially his attitude.

Xiao Feng quickly made a gesture to help him up.

"Mr. Gao, what are you doing? Let's talk this out."

"Sigh." Gao Yuanming sighed helplessly again: "There's nothing I can do. We're basically waiting for the rice to cook. If no new funds come in, my company might... sigh."

"I understand what you mean." Xiao Feng also appeared very sincere: "I have a general understanding of the situation, and I... am indeed very optimistic about the future development prospects of our company, especially our short video project."

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Gao Yuanming's eyes lit up as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

"So you're saying you're willing to invest in the company?"

"Yes." Xiao Feng nodded decisively: "Yes, I am very optimistic about the development of our company's short videos. Similarly, President Gao, I also believe that under your leadership, the company will get better and better."

"So I've made up my mind, I'm voting!"

At this moment... nothing more needs to be said.

The three words Gao Yuanming most wanted to hear... he finally heard: I voted.

"That's great...that's great!" Gao Yuanming excitedly grasped Xiao Feng's hand: "With this 500 million, the company can slowly get running, and we will definitely succeed."

But just as Gao Yuanming finished speaking... he suddenly slapped his forehead... he almost forgot again.

The most important question hasn't been asked yet.

"By the way," Gao Yuanming said, suppressing his excitement but with a hint of nervousness, "Xiao Feng, with your 500 million investment... how many shares of the company do you want?"

This was Gao Yuanming's biggest worry.

Because if Xiao Feng makes exorbitant demands, then all the previous efforts will have been in vain.

That's exactly what Xiao Feng was waiting for.

Xiao Feng pretended to ponder for a few seconds... calm and collected.

"How about this, Mr. Gao, 30% of the company's shares? What do you think?"

This has always been Xiao Feng's expectation; his target is 30%, and he doesn't want any more.

Upon hearing the 30%, Gao Yuanming's tense expression suddenly relaxed, and he let out a deep sigh of relief.

The thing I've been worried about for so long is finally no longer a worry.

Prior to this, Gao Yuanming had approached several investors, one of whom offered 500 million yuan for a 51% stake.

Even so, it was already considered a small amount.

There are also people like Lao Liu, who want to take over the entire company for 800 million.

So much so that when Gao Yuanming heard that Xiao Feng only wanted 30% of the shares for 500 million, he accepted it very easily, and even felt somewhat fortunate.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng didn't ask for an exorbitant amount.

"Okay, okay." Gao Yuanming immediately showed his delight: "Then it's settled, 500 million for 30% of the shares."

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Feng suddenly interrupted, "President Gao, from the moment I came in until now, I have never said that I would invest 5 million. You said it yourself."

In that instant, Gao Yuanming felt like the sky was about to collapse, and his excitement was instantly plunged to the bottom.

Ruined.

"Then...then..." Gao Yuanming was clearly struggling to speak coherently: "If it's not 500 million, then how much is it? 400 million for 30% of the shares? Or...300 million? Or..."

Xiao Feng shook his head and made a "1" with his finger.

In a fleeting moment... Gao Yuan's future completely collapsed.

100 million for 30% of the shares?

This is even more ruthless than Lao Liu!

Young people these days... really have no sense of martial ethics.

I'd rather go find Lao Liu.

Before Gao Yuanming could even speak…

Xiao Feng then added.

"1000 million, Mr. Gao, I'll invest 1000 million in you, just for 30% of the company's shares. It's not for anything else, but so that ordinary Chinese people can also have their own short video platform."

Oh my god.

I've heard of people making money while standing up.

Xiao Feng bought the shares while still standing.

And she spoke so smoothly, it elevated her entire being.

The reason Xiao Feng wanted to invest 1000 million was because, in his memory, Gao Yuanming was short of 800 million at the time.

While 500 million might be enough to get by, there's a time cost involved. 800 million would be just right.

Xiao Feng's direct investment of 1000 million yuan would accelerate the original progress, shorten the time cost, and enable him to profit sooner.

When the perspective shifts.

The operations team was chatting when they suddenly heard a heartfelt speech coming from the chairman's office in the distance.

It sounded like it was being shouted out.

"Xiao Feng, this is a great act of righteousness!"

"On behalf of all KS employees, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. Our company has survived!"
