Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 513 A big tree attracts the wind

Zheng Sijing's appearance made a lot of noise. He was accompanied by several people, and he was dressed very decently. He had a great aura and a great pomp, which attracted the attention of several counter bosses around him.

"Chairman!" Zheng Sijing came to Li Weidong and said hello with a smile. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Li Weidong first nodded to Zheng Sijing, and then said to Boss Liu next to him: "Boss, do the math, how much is the total?"

Boss Liu looked at Zheng Sijing with a little confusion in his eyes. He seemed to have seen this person somewhere before. Then he looked at the people behind him. Some of them looked familiar, but he didn't remember them at the moment.

Hearing Li Weidong's words again, he couldn't think about these things. He quickly said with a smile: "Boss, you want a lot, so I will give you a preferential price. The total is 2,780. You can give me 2,770!"

After Ding Yuan heard this, he put the camera away, took out his bank card and asked Boss Liu to swipe it. Fortunately, this is Zhongguancun, there is no shortage of new gadgets, and the equipment is relatively advanced. Otherwise, how much cash would Ding Yuan have to satisfy Li Weidong?

"Is that Mr. Zheng Sijing?" When Boss Liu finished the card swiping procedure and returned the card to Ding Yuan, he seemed to have remembered something and asked Ding Yuan in a low voice and surprise.

Ding Yuan glanced at Li Weidong helplessly and then at Zheng Sijing, meaning that it was better now. He was recognized. Wouldn't this make his security work more difficult?

Zheng Sijing was also a little confused, but the reason for his confusion was that Ding Yuan was holding two large boxes of CDs. Has the boss changed his career to do CD wholesale?

As for being recognized by others, Zheng Sijing was not too surprised. Although he also wanted to be as low-key as Li Weidong, Zheng Sijing was the product of Li Weidong's low-key. How could he be low-key?

Some occasions that Li Weidong was unwilling to attend were represented by people like them. He had more opportunities to appear in the mass media, so it was normal for him to be recognized.

Moreover, Zheng Sijing has the title of "China's No. 1 Venture Capitalist" and is very famous in the venture capital industry. In the past two years, the subsidiary has been operating independently, and Zheng Sijing has kept a low profile.

But for entrepreneurs like Boss Liu, how could he not know this kind of venture capital boss? This is a mobile money bag. As long as you are favored by him, you don't have to worry about the funds for starting a business.

Boss Liu is a young man with great ambitions. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to give up his high-paying job in a foreign company after graduating from the National People's Congress for two years and come to Zhongguancun to set up a counter and start a business.

Entrepreneurs naturally have a certain understanding of venture capital, and in Zhongguancun, a hot spot for entrepreneurship, it is often reported that a company has been favored by venture capital, and its valuation has skyrocketed overnight.

Of course, Boss Liu has also thought about looking for venture capital, but as a CD seller, he has to make up a story to attract angel rounds and venture capital institutions.

He just didn't expect to encounter the myth of the venture capital industry on his counter at this time. Moreover, he heard correctly just now. Zheng Sijing called the boss who bought his things chairman. It's scary to think about it!

So he only dared to ask in a low voice, for fear that the voice would be too loud and affect the boss's mood.

Ding Yuan saw that Li Weidong and Zheng Sijing had no intention of talking, so he whispered: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

"I understand, I understand, can you take the photo just now?" Boss Liu is a smart man. He knows that people don't want to reveal their identity, so he naturally treats it as if it didn't happen, but when he thinks of the photo, his heart heats up.

How could he be so virtuous and capable, and such a big boss would take a photo with him? Could it be that the big boss could meet him and see that he would be successful in the future?

"This is my business card. It has my address and my email address on it. If it is possible, can it be done?" Boss Liu continued to ask and handed over a business card.

Ding Yuan felt that the boss's decision seemed to have a bad ending. If you took a photo with someone, would you give the photo or not?

If you didn’t give it, why did you take a photo with them? If you gave it, would it cause a disturbance?

Seeing that Ding Yuan ignored him, Boss Liu quietly stuffed his business card into the CD box, while Ding Yuan pretended not to notice.

At this time, Li Weidong said with a smile: "Goodbye, Boss Liu. What you said must be counted. If you lie, you will pay a hundred. I have someone here to remember you. Don't even think about running away when the time comes!"

Li Weidong continued: "Oh, by the way, I think selling this is good, and your concept is also very good. Only sell genuine products. As long as you stick to it, the business will definitely get better and better. Of course, if you can sell other electronic products,

It would be even better if it were scaled up!”

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he walked out without waiting for Boss Liu's reaction, and Ding Yuan followed quickly with his things.

Zheng Sijing glanced at Boss Liu, his look was somewhat meaningful, not because Boss Liu was so good-looking, but because Li Weidong was so accurate at seeing people.

Although their investment company has always insisted on investing in the track and then the racers in the track, Zheng Sijing always has an intuition that any project that is favored by Li Weidong is definitely not because of the project itself, but because of the founder of the project.

It’s just that he didn’t seem to find anything outstanding about this counter owner, and the owner Sui Ruan had no intention of investing, but these last few instructions seemed to mean something!

Zheng Sijing thought about it and asked his assistant to leave a business card for Boss Liu to retain some of the incense. Maybe he could use it sometime, and then left to follow Li Weidong.

Boss Liu held the business card left by his assistant in both hands, and it was indeed printed on it: Zheng Sijing, General Manager of Jingwei Investment. When he looked up again, Li Weidong and his party had disappeared into the crowd.

Boss Liu looked down at the business card in his hand again, feeling as if he had missed something!

Li Weidong walked out of the electronics market. Although it was a little cold after leaving a heated house, the natural light outside made Li Weidong feel more comfortable.

Li Weidong was wearing a coat, with his hands in his pockets, standing casually on the roadside, looking at the construction site opposite, with several entourages in formal clothes standing behind him, which seemed a bit unusual.

Zheng Sijing stood behind Li Weidong and explained the reason for his visit to the capital this time. He said: "There is an international seminar on venture capital and the Internet. We invite executives from major international investment banks, venture capital companies, financial companies, and various experts to discuss

!”

"The time is set for the beginning of next month, right in the capital. Jingwei Investment is one of the organizers. According to the usual practice, several organizers will sit together tomorrow to hold a coordination meeting and make some arrangements!"

Li Weidong shook his head and said: "Seminars, international seminars, what can be discussed, I really plan to learn something real from this conference, this is not a big deal!"

"Who has something real to say in public, and tells others about his development direction and operating methods? If his colleagues are enemies, who will tell his competitors what he will do next?"

Zheng Sijing said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are right. In fact, I have also considered that the main purpose of coming here is not to conduct research, but to see the domestic environment and the fat domestic market in China.

All these VCs want a bite!”

"They give various speeches and make various remarks. In fact, to put it bluntly, they are just to brag, promote themselves and their companies, so that more domestic companies can pay attention to them and get more projects!"

Another thing, Zheng Sijing did not mention to Li Weidong that Peking Capital would also use this seminar to announce its entry into the domestic market.

Judging from the influence of Peking Capital in the international venture capital community, it must be something that will surprise everyone.

Li Weidong tilted his head and glanced at Zheng Sijing, and asked curiously: "Since you know this, why are you running around so much that you want to cultivate a few competitors for yourself and make the company develop healthier?"

Zheng Sijing shook his head and said: "I don't have such a high level of awareness, but there is someone taking the lead on this matter, and we can't stop it. In this case, it's better to take the initiative to participate!"

"This also shows that we are open-minded, and since we are the organizer, we must have an advantage over them. We also take a look at the quality of these international venture capital companies and how big they are!"

Li Weidong said: "It's good to have the courage. The domestic market is too big and it's definitely not possible to rely on just a few venture capital companies. Only when there are enough venture capital companies can the entire industry develop!"

Zheng Sijing agreed: "Yes, according to statistics from the Science and Technology Finance Association, as of the end of last year, there were nearly 200 domestic venture capital companies, with a total capital of about 30 billion!"

"But less than half of the projects actually invested in it, which is about US$2 billion, while the scale of venture capital funds in the United States is more than US$50 billion. The gap between us is huge!"

Zheng Sijing moved closer to Li Weidong and whispered: "And, according to our calculations, our company accounts for more than 30% of the total amount of domestic venture capital!"

"If we only consider non-state-owned capital, our market share is 90%. When Vice Chairman Cheng Siwei raised this last time, his concern was very obvious!"

Cheng Siwei can be said to be the founder of Chinese venture capital. He has been forming and promoting venture capital since the 1980s, and has always believed that venture capital is the best way to transform new technologies.

He started working on venture capital many years ago, but later he took a back seat and regarded this as his main job. In fact, he did a lot of useful things.

For example, this seminar, such as the China Venture Capital Forum, was all carried out under his proposal and even his personal guidance.

As the largest private venture capital in China, Jingwei Investment has a relationship with Cheng Siwei. This is inevitable as the two take what each other needs.

One thing is raised. It is natural to need a successful example as a foil. The situation of Jingwei Investment is no secret among the upper levels. The annual increase in asset size is very amazing. When this foil is very solid.

Not only did the relevant people notice the profitability of Jingwei Investment, but it also made the upper management see the huge driving role of venture capital in economic development, and the balance in their hearts naturally supported venture capital.

In the step-by-step development process of Jingwei Investment, it does need some recognition from the upper management. This recognition is encouragement and a kind of protection, even more important than the identity of Hong Kong investors.

The scale of Jingwei's investment in this era has indeed blinded some people's eyes, making some people feel inexplicably worried, and it is understandable that they even make public statements about it.

After all, as the old saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind and it gets cold at high places. In short, the more people are watching you, the more things will happen!

Li Weidong pondered for a moment and said: "There is no need for Vice Chairman Cheng to worry, we are just taking a step first!"

"Money is the smartest thing. Wherever there is profit, they will appear. As long as policies are relaxed and hot money pours in, at that time, we will be nothing!"

Ten years ago, the country was relatively poor. Li Weidong relied on the advantage of his rebirth to take a few steps early, seize several opportunities to make wealth, and complete the accumulation of capital ahead of schedule, making his assets very large.

However, with the development of the entire society, the country's overall economic aggregate is getting larger and larger, and he can control more and more money, and the possibility of continuing to achieve this explosive growth of wealth becomes smaller.

Moreover, the industries he is involved in are also insignificant. To put it bluntly, they are all things that state-owned enterprises are unwilling to do. Even if they are number one in this industry, it will not affect the national economy and people's livelihood.

And those companies that can affect the national economy and people's livelihood will be completely restricted within certain scopes through various policies and regulations. Private companies that want to participate can't even find a way!

As for the so-called "cry" issued by those so-called "people with lofty ideals" and "public intellectuals" with conscience, they may seem reasonable, but in fact they are purely unfounded worries and even grandstanding.

Furthermore, for all domestic enterprises, no matter what you do, you must be managed by certain departments. There is nothing to worry about. Whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, you must listen to the state.

Moreover, the well-known wealth fund management companies in the world manage tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars. Li Weidong's money is nothing.

Zheng Sijing looked at Li Weidong, the corners of his mouth moved, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

He didn't quite believe Li Weidong's words. The amount of wealth Li Weidong currently controlled had already surpassed everyone in the world. How could that be possible if he had nothing?

But now that Li Weidong said this, he just heard it like this, and he couldn't refute Li Weidong, so this matter couldn't be taken seriously at all, it was just a joke.

Zheng Sijing did not answer Li Weidong's words, but instead asked on a whim: "Why don't you also attend the seminar, give a keynote speech, and educate these people who don't know how to be humble?"

Li Weidong glanced at him and said, "Am I so idle?"

Zheng Sijing made Li Weidong confused. How could a world-class seminar be just an idle talent song?

However, Zheng Sijing also knew that he could not continue on this topic, otherwise he would be beaten to death. The key was to do it in front of so many subordinates, so he would never have the authority to lead a group in the future.

Zheng Sijing changed the topic again. Anyway, there were too many things that he could report to Li Weidong, so he said: "Oh, there is one more thing. I have always wanted to report to you, but I just never had the right time!"

Li Weidong asked in surprise: "What's the matter?"

Zheng Sijing replied: "Last time you asked us to prepare a semiconductor processing plant in Shanghai!"
