rebirth from small pockets

"I am a person who accepts things as they come!"

In the VIP room of a foreign bank, Chen Li looked at Mu Xiaoqing opposite and said with a smile.

To be fair, Mu Xiaoqing does have two skills in her professional skills book.

Unlike some domestic TV programs that still advocate the prosperity of the Internet in the United States, as a professional, Mu Xiaoqing has actually discovered the fact that the Internet bubble is about to burst.

Moreover, Mu Xiaoqing's suggestion to Chen Li was actually not unreasonable.

Whether it is that the time of the Internet bubble may be delayed or the American government will step in to take care of the situation after the bubble bursts, etc., Mu Xiaoqing has actually considered it.

But what can I say? Sometimes, there are some things. Even if you know what the result will be, no one can accurately predict the detailed process of how things will develop.

This also leads to a situation~!

Even Chen Li and Mu Xiaoqing knew that the Internet bubble would eventually burst~ but they were unable to make accurate predictions about the time and extent of the bubble bursting.

In fact, logically speaking, as a reborn person, Chen Li should actually be the one who knows best.

But it's a pity that in his previous life, Chen Li didn't pay much attention to finance and financial information, so he only knew that the Internet bubble would burst in 2000, but he really didn't know the specific time and data.

That's because although Chen Li can't remember the specific time when the Internet bubble burst, he vaguely remembers that it didn't burst during the Spring Festival.

But even if Chen Li has the confidence to start over, he doesn't really want to go through anything and start over again.

Therefore, with this goal in mind, Chen Li is fully confident in making Ideal Fried Chicken bigger and stronger.

The reason why he chose to enter the capital market at this time is to obtain enough funds for the development of various industries under his name in the next few years.

Recognition is one thing, but convincing Chen Li is another.

Only if he himself has the absolute right to speak, can he prevent those guys who only care about profit from encroaching on the ideal fried chicken.

But if he wants to accelerate the development of these industries, Chen Li must invest a lot of money in them.

As for Chen Li himself, he doesn't care. Even to him, ideal fried chicken is fine as long as he doesn't lose money.

The reason for giving such a high salary is naturally Chen Li's recognition of Mu Xiaoqing's work ability.

To put it bluntly~ Chen Li only planned to find someone to help him with real-time trading at the beginning, and it didn't matter at all how good this person was.

Of course, if you want Ideal Fried Chicken to become bigger and stronger, you must have enough capital.

Then he will advance some time based on the answer given by this professional financial person, Mu Xiaoqing.

You know, thanks to the continued rise of Nasdaq and the magic of leverage, the US$15 million that Chen Li previously invested in the capital market has now accumulated in less than twenty days.

Forty-nine million US dollars.

However, unlike the very high profit commission ratio of ordinary private equity funds, Chen Li and Mu Xiaoqing were not involved in this part of the employment process.

Yes~ Even though Chen Li recognized Mu Xiaoqing's professional skills, he actually didn't believe in these so-called financial people.

After all, in terms of the efficiency of making money alone, the industry is far behind the Internet and the capital market.

So when Chen Li and Mu Xiaoqing first drew up their plan, they arranged the time to withdraw funds after the Spring Festival.

Therefore, in the past life, all chain brands that grew rapidly and attracted investment seemed to have a bad end!

Only a very small number of chain brands that pay attention to brand value will work hard on management, which also increases the survival time of the corporate brand itself.

With such high returns, no wonder so many people are keen on the capital market!

And this~ Chen Li repeatedly reminded Mu Xiaoqing to be prudent, otherwise, the income may be even more terrifying!

On the third day after Chen Li arrived in Hong Kong Island, Mu Xiaoqing completed the final clearance work.

At that time, Chen Li even planned to rent a financial android from the system. However, after discovering Mu Xiaoqing's ability, Chen Li changed his plan.

Of course, as I said before, Chen Li has never been a stingy person.

If Chen Li adopts the same development strategy as those chain companies in his previous life, including investment, franchising, and even venture capital, etc., then the development speed of Ideal Fried Chicken will definitely increase several times.

Moreover, in the next one to two years, Ideal Fried Chicken will gradually expand into new areas, that is, it will gradually develop from simple Ideal Fried Chicken to Ideal Fast Food Restaurant.

If the income from these stocks is included, Chen Li's final income may be close to 40 million.

As for Chen Li in 2000, the reason why he wanted to make money in this Internet winter crisis was not to become a financial tycoon.

On the contrary, for the vast majority of ordinary people, a single failure can lead to lifelong regret.

Previously, Mu Xiaoqing invested another 20 million US dollars in Microsoft stocks, and currently these stocks have increased by more than 40%.

Just like this time~ Chen Li raised more than 10 million US dollars to enter the game. If he loses~ even if he is Chen Li reborn and has double BUFFs in the system, he still has to pay for this failure.

And to be honest, based on the salary and benefits in the financial industry, even if they are worse, they are still much better than those in her previous job.

Yes ~ Mu Xiaoqing still has bonuses to get!

Despite the fact that Ideal Fried Chicken now has nearly a thousand employees and more than 200 stores, the actual profit these stores earn Chen Li in a year is far less than the increase in his share of Red Pony Technology.

The reason is very simple~ He has never participated in these things, so naturally he doesn't care~ He doesn't understand!

Relatively speaking, the difference is that although Chen Li cannot remember the exact time of the bull market more than ten years later, he can remember one or two stocks that rose sharply in that bull market.

Therefore, Chen Li would rather choose to go slower than bury any hidden dangers for Ideal Fried Chicken.

In addition, Mu Xiaoqing helped Chen Li earn tens of millions of dollars in profits from the capital market this time. Chen Li only gave the other party 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. Isn't that too stingy?

But in fact~ if Mu Xiaoqing's resume is relatively good and she has rich relevant work experience, in fact, the salary Chen Li was prepared to offer at the beginning was only 200,000~ or even Huaxia coins.

Because even financial tycoons such as Buffett and Soros have suffered losses in the capital market, not even once or twice.

But. To protect these, Chen Li must first ensure that he refuses so-called franchises as much as possible~ He even doesn't want to find any venture capital.

It's just that, for financial bosses like them, even if they suffer a few losses, they won't be broken at all.

It's just that it happened more than ten years later, and it didn't mean much to Chen Li in 2000.

Chen Li can even use the system Xiaomeng to monitor the supply data of Shennong Food to various Ideal Fried Chicken stores, which can greatly prevent store managers from privately changing the supply of ingredients.

Most of the time, in addition to carrying out operations according to Chen Li's arrangements, Mu Xiaoqing also provides Chen Li with relevant suggestions.

To put it bluntly~ Mu Xiaoqing is just a worker. As for how much bonus she can get, it depends on Chen Li's mood.

At first, Chen Li just wanted Zhang Ruolan to help him find an obedient and sensible trader.

But at that time, Chen Li had no money on hand, so naturally he couldn't do it all at once, so he could only figure it out slowly.

In his previous life, Chen Li had seen many fast food chains, and most of them had the same problem, that is, poor management led to mixed reviews of brand quality.

And this is actually the reason why Chen Li insisted on making money in the capital market, which he believed to be a huge risk, during this time period.

Similarly, there are other industries under Chen Li's name, although he knows that as long as he continues, these industries will definitely bring him enough benefits in the future.

At this point, Chen Li’s money-making behavior before the Internet bubble burst has come to an end.

However, the US$54 million does not entirely belong to Chen Li. At least, Chen Li has not paid Mu Xiaoqing yet.

But Chen Li will try his best to improve and protect the value of the ideal fried chicken brand, and this is what he needs to consider.

Moreover, Chen Li was unwilling to accept the franchise method from the beginning to the end, because he knew very well that he could control the quality of his own store in a directly operated store, but if it was a franchise, he had no way to guarantee it.

But he couldn't remember the specific information, so he had to choose a professional financial person to help him make reference.

And from the beginning to the end, Mu Xiaoqing was just a trader who implemented Chen Xi's ideas.

What Mu Xiaoqing needs is an opportunity to prove herself - an opportunity to prove that she is qualified to gain a foothold in the financial industry.

Actually ~ Mu Xiaoqing’s salary is not high!

After all, Mu Xiaoqing was almost expelled from the financial industry before, so it would be great if she could find a job with Chen Li that would allow her to return to the financial industry. As for salary, she really didn't have any requirements.

Of course~ Chen Li dare not say that if he does this, there will be no quality problems with Ideal Fried Chicken in the future. No one can guarantee this kind of thing.

But this does not mean that it is all Mu Xiaoqing's income, because she also has bonuses.

Because he knew very well that the reason he chose to enter the capital market at this time was because he knew the general direction of the Internet bubble.

Just like today's ideal fried chicken~ when the plate is not big enough, management and quality problems will also occur.

However, he is a double BUFF player after all, so he also has the same opportunity to make a comeback as those financial tycoons.

Before Mu Xiaoqing left the financial industry, her annual income reached one million US dollars.

As he said, he is not a gambler, and he does not need to continue to stay at the poker table knowing that there are unknown risks.

Nowadays, the property under Chen Li's name is neither too much nor too little.

Some people may think that a mere HK$500,000 is not high at all, right?

Especially since Ideal Fried Chicken is now following an asset-heavy model, Chen Ideal wants to add wings to Ideal Fried Chicken, so he has to invest money in it.

In fact, at the beginning, the ideal fried chicken restaurant that Chen Li wanted was a fast-food restaurant that combined Chinese and Western styles, similar to Country Club in his previous life.

The risks in the capital market are too great~Chen Li is somewhat cautious.

It's just that after Chen Li confirmed Mu Xiaoqing's ability, he gave Mu Xiaoqing a certain degree of autonomy before the Spring Festival.

At that time, Mu Xiaoqing just wanted to seek an opportunity, and Chen Li would not be so stupid as to insist on giving money to others when he knew it was an opportunity to make money.

And the most important point is that this 500,000 Hong Kong dollars is just Mu Xiaoqing's salary.

With this guarantee, Chen Li is confident that the food safety of Ideal Fried Chicken will reach the top level in the industry.

Therefore, in Mu Xiaoqing's opinion, few people can refuse this huge temptation.

Especially for some chain brands, there is no so-called management at all. They just want to make money quickly by relying on the reputation built by the rapid development of the brand.

Compared with the opportunity itself, the employment relationship between her and Chen Li is not that important.

Compared with this risk, compared with the huge benefits that Chen Li is very likely to obtain, the two are actually not on the same level at all.

After all, Chen Li originally wanted to get involved at that time, so he had some understanding of it.

This is why stores of the same brand, even in the same city, have polarizing reputations.

In Mu Xiaoqing's view, although the bursting of the Internet bubble is probably impossible to avoid, wealth and wealth are in danger. At this stage, while the Internet bubble is still growing, seeking greater benefits in a timely and effective manner is the most important thing.

The choice you should make the most.

But Chen Li is very familiar with the Internet.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Chen Li's development philosophy.

But ~ what if you are an ordinary person? Like Chen Li, you have borrowed money and pledged stocks to invest a lot of money. If it fails, the only option is probably to see if the wind on the roof is strong.

However, Chen Li refused!

And unlike other chain brands, Chenli’s biggest trump card is actually the guarantee from Shennong Food.

Ideal Fried Chicken is currently completely self-sufficient, but in Chen Li’s opinion, the current development speed of Ideal Fried Chicken is still a bit slow.

Even if the Internet bubble bursts and she only needs to get out in time, although there may be certain risks, she is confident that this risk will be reduced to a very low level.

Not to mention the Internet bubble~ Chen Li even knew that a global financial crisis caused by the subprime mortgage crisis would occur in a few years. But if you ask Chen Li for an accurate time and data, then he is also ignorant.

After deducting all taxes and other expenses, Chen Li's US$15 million finally turned into US$54.3 million.

Especially on the premise that this unknown risk is somewhat related to his own little butterfly, Chen Li's vigilance can be said to be very high.

At the very least, the development of his various businesses will be greatly restricted in the short term.

However, Chen Li is not a stingy person, and the investment he made this time was fifteen million US dollars, so he was not stingy and directly offered Mu Xiaoqing a reward of up to half a million Hong Kong dollars.

But then again, the ideal fried chicken that finally came out may not be the ideal fried chicken that Chen Li imagined.

Regarding this, Chen Li only discovered this after an incident involving a store manager secretly replacing cheaper ingredients broke out.

At the very least, there should be no problems with the supplier Shennong Food itself.

After seeing the numbers on his bank account, Chen Li decisively signed a check to Mu Xiaoqing.

After Zhang Ruolan saw the check, her eyes widened and she even stuck out her tongue.

"Xiaoqing~ Is your industry so profitable?"

Mu Xiaoqing took the check and was stunned when she saw the numbers on it.

Because the amount of this check is

Two million dollars!
