Before The College Entrance Examination, My Life Was Gamified

The office where Li Bai is now was originally an investment company, but it was a pity that it fell under the Internet bubble.

Thinking about it carefully, almost everything that Li Bai bought in Millikin was bought with the help of the Internet bubble or the negative impact of the September 11th incident.

Thinking about it this way, he was really picking up cheap deals.

It's a good time to catch up.

At this time point, a large number of Internet companies have already fallen on the road to a bright future.

The companies that can survive are basically boutique companies with strong foundations and profitability.

There are even many unicorn companies evaluated by later generations.

But it is not without exception. Today's Millikin Internet giant SUN will decline from its heyday starting next year.

This year, Sun's market capitalization once exceeded 200 billion U.S. dollars, but in 2009, this company will be acquired by Oracle for 7.4 billion U.S. dollars.

The decline of this dynasty is simply embarrassing.

And there are not a few high-quality companies that are currently on the verge of bankruptcy.

For example, Zappos, now Li Bai only needs to spend 10 million US dollars to acquire 40% of the company's shares.

In 2009, the company will sell at a price of 847 million U.S. dollars, with a profit of about 300 million U.S. dollars.

This is a relatively long-term investment project, and there are many short-term projects.

For example, PayPal, which is developing rapidly but is very confused.

The biggest problem facing this online trade payment company is the issue of online payment security.

Every year due to various technical reasons, the money in the user's account is transferred away, which has always troubled them.

That's why PayPal chose to sell such a company with great potential to aBay when it first went public in 2002.

In fact, Li Bai's most important thing is the long-term interests of PayPal. This company will become a Fortune 500 company in the future, and its influence will be the most influential online payment industry in the world.

Especially for the payment of international trade in later generations, most of them will choose this payment platform to do it.

And Li Bai has already handed over the matter of becoming a shareholder of this company to He Xu.

With the technical support of TT antivirus, there will be a broad road ahead of PayPal.

Anyway, 4 billion US dollars has to be spent anyway.

There are almost 1.7 billion US dollars left in the hands for emergency and the acquisition of stocks of domestic companies.

When I think of domestic companies, except that Moutai has already acquired almost 10% of the shares.

What Li Bai values ​​most is the powerful yet unknown Huawei Group.

In the attention of Li Bai, a caring person, no matter how low-key Huawei is, it cannot escape Li Bai's eyes.

This year alone, Huawei's sales reached 225 yuan.

This was in 2001, the private enterprises of Longguo, apart from a few giants such as Lenovo, who could reach this level?

But Huawei is such a powerful and low-key existence.

If it weren't for the advent of the smart phone era in later generations, who would have known that Longguo had such a powerful ICT company?

Coupled with the 5G technology that made a lot of noise later, this company has become a heroic enterprise in the hearts of the people of Longguo.

On the contrary, Lenovo, which is now in full swing, is constantly being pulled out to flog corpses.

It's a pity that the forced company has clearly rejected Li Bai's investment intention.

Well, they really have backbone and strength!

Employees of the whole company jointly hold shares, what is this concept?

The founder, Ren Zhengfei, now only has a 1.9% stake in the group, and it will be diluted to barely more than 1% in the future.

Sure enough, everyone earns money together!

Sometimes Li Bai is very envious of Ren Zhengfei, after all, he is low-key enough.

But who made Li Bai's company an absolute shareholder?

I can't hide it even if I want to hide it.

Now the investment is handed over to Orfila, and the rest is to buy some antiques and cultural relics abroad.

This is also an important purpose of Li Bai's coming to Millikin.

The batch of antique Li Bai that was transported back to Longguo before had been authenticated by someone long ago, and all of them are authentic.

Among them, the most precious one is a big blue and white jar of Yuan Dynasty, and the intact Xuande furnace.

Even the treasures like Tang Sancai are not even ranked!

Those four ancient paintings were given to my old man by Li Bai. Now the old man shows off to his old friends every day. I heard that he smiles a lot, and he even looks more energetic.

In order to make the elderly happier, it is worth buying some antiques.

"Hey, congratulations to the host for triggering the side quest: buy the animal heads of the Chinese zodiac and ship them back to China; the quest reward depends on the progress of the quest completion."

Zodiac animal heads?

Li Bai remembers that last year Longguo Poly Group spent 5 million US dollars to buy the heads of cattle, monkeys, and tigers.

In recent years, the animal heads of the twelve zodiac signs are also considered frequent visitors at major auctions.

Li Bai knows that there are currently four animal heads that have fallen, namely the dragon head, the mouse head, the pig head, and the rabbit head.

Among them, the head of the dragon is in Baodao, the head of the pig is in Milijian, the head of the rat and the capital of the rabbit are in France.

As for the dragon head and pig head, Li Bai is sure to spend money to buy them back. Only the mouse head and rabbit head, even if Li Bai spends money, may not be able to buy them.

These two animal heads are in the hands of François Pinault, a French tycoon, who is the owner of the French retail giant Printemps, with assets of nearly 3 billion U.S. dollars.

Money is no problem at all for them.

However, the rewards for side missions are based on the progress of the mission completion.

Therefore, only by buying all these 4 animal heads and transporting them back to the Dragon Kingdom, can Li Bai get the maximum benefit.

For a while Li Bai really had a feeling of being at a loss.

But you still have to buy the dragon head and pig head first.

With this in mind, Li Bai handed over the matter to Xu Chen from the Millikin branch. He still has more important things to pay attention to in 4.6, such as the current development of YouTube.

After two months of savage growth, YouTube has become the largest video site in the United States, with more than 40 million users and more than 100,000 personal videos uploaded by users every day.

This explosive development has stunned the entire Silicon Valley!

Numerous investors flocked to the company, and the highest valuation given so far has reached 1.6 billion US dollars.

But Li Bai scoffed.

If it was in the past, he might still be tempted by it.

But now the potential shown by YouTube is too great.

What Li Bai has to do now is to use the platform of TT Security Guard to promote YouTube to the whole of the West.

At that time, the valuation can be doubled again. .
