Shenhao who plays around the world

Chapter 213 Get a new toy

The post-investment valuation of Youliang Apartment’s Series C has reached US$2 billion, attracting the attention of many outside venture capital investors.

During the previous relocation of Forestry Pictures, only 3 floors in Shanghai were reserved for offices. Xu Lei persuaded Xu Lei to rent out all 7 floors at a very low discount price.

The Bund, where every inch of land is at a premium, can have 7 floors as company office space.

This was beyond words that could be described in terms of dignity, and it made Xu Lei feel elated all over.

This is the benefit of holding your thighs thick enough!

Now when I go out and mention that I am the CEO of a company with a post-C round investment valuation of over 2 billion U.S. dollars, even though I am just a deputy, who wouldn’t look at me differently?

His father-in-law and mother-in-law, who were once not very satisfied with his work, now feel closer to him than their own son.

When he got home, his wife came over immediately to help him change his shoes, hang up his clothes, and his breakfast was already a little better.

Therefore, if you want harmony between husband and wife, you only need to have money.

Because in the start-up stage, neither Lu Lin nor Xu Lei received high salaries, only 30,000 yuan a month.

Youliang Apartment is different from other companies and must be listed on the market.

By virtue of his status as a shareholder, it will be easy for Xu Lei to achieve financial freedom by then.

It’s not that there is no potential for the development of long-term rental apartments in China, but it’s just that the reputation has been ruined by companies that were trying to make quick money in the past.

But now, with Guanhai Group as a shareholder, the credibility of Youliang Apartment has been greatly improved in an instant.

This is the charm of a large group!

In the past, Youliang Apartment was a small business at best.

With money and the talent pool of Guanhai Group, many elite soldiers from other companies under the group were transferred to Youliang Apartment, which instantly increased the team's combat effectiveness by several levels!

Xu Lei is very powerful and does not show off his power just because he is a small shareholder.

The power of the company is completely in Lu Lin's hands.

Compared with Lu Lin, he is far behind.

He is a serious executive of a Fortune 500 company, and managing a company with thousands of people is no big deal.

What's more, Lu Lin and he hold the same proportion of shares.

This shows how much Lin Shen values ​​Lu Lin.

After this round of investment, Shen Han still holds the largest shareholding ratio, close to 74%.

However, Shen Han entrusted full voting rights to Lu Lin.

Even if other investors are introduced in the future, Lu Lin will still be able to control the company.

The second largest shareholder is Guanhai Group, holding 10% of the shares.

The proportion of the option pool is 8%, which is used to reward some of the group's elite employees who have transferred.

Although they may not complain, Boss Lin never treats his own people badly.

Finally, Lu Lin and Xu Lei hold the same shareholding ratio, 4%.

Based on the Series C valuation, the equity held by the two of them is worth US$80 million.

Of course, when it comes to valuation, you just have to look at it happily.

Many companies, with valuations in the hundreds of billions of dollars, would be happy if they were not listed.

It is difficult for a long-term rental apartment business to attract capital.

Under Lin Shen's instruction, Lu Lin registered a subsidiary company specializing in formaldehyde removal business.

The high external charging standards also stun many people.

The fee for a single room is RMB 50,000, and you can move in within a week as soon as possible. It is guaranteed to have zero formaldehyde, and a professional third-party CMA test report will be provided.

If formaldehyde is detected, triple compensation will be given.

50,000 yuan per room is really not cheap.

But where is Shanghai?

The most indispensable thing is the rich!

…

Chen Peiran and Dai Ni have been in love for seven years and just received their marriage certificate not long ago.

They are a young couple who can be regarded as the waist celebrities of couple accounts.

After switching from Douyin to Happy Planet, the number of fans is around 2 million, and the income has increased significantly.

In three months, they released a total of 52 videos and received more than 12 million likes.

The average number of likes for a single video is not outstanding, but it is more stable and more productive.

Not counting the advertisements received, the average monthly pre-tax income from the video platform settlement alone reaches 40,000+!

Counting some advertising, I can earn at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a month.

It is with this kind of income that they have the confidence to buy a small house in Shanghai.

Because my budget is limited, I can't afford a luxury home worth tens of millions.

I had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and buy an old house that is more than 15 years old.

Although the house is old, it is also their place of residence in this big city.

But during the renovation, his girlfriend got pregnant, which made Chen Peiran very anxious.

The monthly rent for the house we rent now is 10,000 yuan.

I am currently pregnant in October, and the decoration is completed, so it will take at least half a year.

If I can't move in for the next six months, I will lose nearly 60,000 yuan in rent.

In addition, after half a year of hard work, I don’t know how much worry I have to worry about in order to remove formaldehyde.

After discussing it with his girlfriend, Chen Peiran decided to give it a try.

After the formaldehyde is removed, he will stay there for a few days to check the situation.

It is endorsed by Guanhai Group, and Youliang Apartment does have a good reputation online.

Chen Peiran even met some local fans during the broadcast. Many people who are very sensitive to formaldehyde did not feel the slightest discomfort after moving in.

He couldn't afford a house that was too big, so Chen Peiran bought a small two-bedroom apartment of 72 square meters.

Although self-media is quite profitable, who can say that we can always maintain such a high income.

Compared to a 30-year mortgage, self-media means making quick money.

I saw the master who came to do the work. He was dressed quite formally, with the environmentally friendly logo printed on his back.

During this period, Chen Peiran asked two construction masters why they charged so much.

The two masters were also confused. Anyway, the company told them that the potion used was carefully developed by a foreign scientific research team.

They don't know that. They only need to know how to make a profit by doing one job.

Two hours later, the two masters left immediately.

Chen Peiran feels so distressed, that’s 100,000 yuan!

Think about the hard-earned money you earned by pulling all your hair out just to shoot the video.

Even if the two masters worked for a while longer, he would feel less at a loss.

However, after spraying the medicine, it should be left for at least three days.

If you're in a hurry, you can check in in three days.

Chen Peiran didn't have the courage, so he waited for seven days.

After seven days of ventilation, the renovated house smelled of a light fragrance.

In the two bedrooms, the wardrobe is the area that he focuses on.

There is no formaldehyde smell at all, as if it has been there for at least a year!

How can this be?

Chen Peiran was dumbfounded and went to the kitchen again without believing in evil.

When Chen Peiran opened the cupboard door, there was no smell at all.

hiss!

How amazing!

After checking each one, Chen Peiran couldn't help but feel that the money was well spent.

Compared to my wife, children and my own health, spending a little money is nothing.

There are friends around him who have racked their brains to remove formaldehyde from their decorations, and they even look a few years older.

Formaldehyde from cabinets and wardrobes usually emit gradually over several years.

Everything is clearly written in the environmentally friendly commitment letter.

As long as you don’t purchase new irritating furniture in the future, you will never be troubled by secondary formaldehyde.

…

Lu Lin has always paid attention to customer feedback, and generally the praise rate is extremely high.

Some people are dissatisfied, and it's just about the price.

Only now did Lu Lin dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, there was a burst of ecstasy!

With his eyesight, it is natural that he would not fail to see the potential of this business.

Definitely the future cash cow of the company!

Although even he couldn't figure out how those potions had such a terrifying cleaning effect.

But he is a smart man, and as long as he knows what is good for the company, it is enough.

Today's good apartments require money and people.

Several quasi-first-tier cities also have teams responsible for developing markets.

In the early stage, we first built a reputation for long-term rental apartments.

Later, with the help of word-of-mouth, it entered the home decoration track.

This method of play quickly achieved remarkable results.

Especially in Shanghai, a large number of middle-class families are more or less troubled by this problem.

Even if you only capture a small group of people, it is enough for Youliang Apartment to make a small profit.

Looking across the country, how many wealthy people are there?

Lu Lin has also re-raised the training requirements for door-to-door service employees. For example, work clothes should be more neat and beautiful, and the overall training requirements should be based on the Black Swan cake delivery staff.

The fees are so expensive, so it’s natural that the supporting facilities must be of high quality.

Otherwise, there will always be people who think it is not worth the price.

For one room, the gross profit reaches 20,000 yuan.

With the publicity in place, orders came in immediately.

Seeing the construction masters dressed in all black fashionable and cool clothes, who also wear black gloves during construction, I felt a lot more balanced instantly.

Coupled with the powerful elimination effect, it quickly became popular.

…

"Ding, the New Year's gift has been delivered."

Lin Shen suddenly remembered that it was New Year's Eve again in the blink of an eye.

Tsk, year after year.

This day is really boring.

There is too much money to spend, and there are a lot of women.

Lin Shen was the only one who could bear this kind of pain.

"Ding, congratulations on obtaining 100% equity of Richemont Group!"

Richemont Group?

Lin Shen's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but give the system a thumbs up.

As one of the three major luxury goods groups, Richemont Group owns many luxury brands.

Especially in the hard luxury field, that is, the jewelry and watch business, it is the strongest.

Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Piaget, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lange, Panerai, Marlboro...

The current market value of Richemont Group is in the range of US$60-70 billion.

Among them, the most profitable business is none other than the jewelry department where Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Buccellati are located.

Even though there are only three brands in the jewelry department of Richemont Group, they account for 57% of the total sales of Richemont Group.

Lin Shen is naturally very familiar with Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels.

When I usually go to shopping malls, the stores of these two brands are what women around me like to visit most.

Jewelry that easily costs hundreds of thousands can be sold with just a story, but there are women who are willing to spend on it.

The same person is harvesting IQ tax, why not let him earn this money?

After the equity change was completed, Lin Shen had already arranged for personnel to take over Richemont Group.

I just happen to have 2 perfect employee recruitment coupons in my hand.

Lin Shen was not stingy and used them all.

As the world's top professional manager, Wu Yue is only one step behind Shen Wan. He is definitely more than enough to run the Richemont Group.

Another perfect employee, Guo Bei, was designated by him as Chloé's creative director.

Richemont Group's clothing and leather goods business has always accounted for a small proportion and has no brand name.

The only one who can do it is Chloé.

Just look at LV and i to know how profitable the clothing business is.

Taken individually, their annual revenue exceeds 10 billion euros.

The sales of Gucci alone are as high as the entire jewelry department of Richemont Group.

As for LV, its sales are even more exaggerated, almost as much as the turnover of all Richemont Group departments.

The difference between LV and Gucci is a Dior fashion department.

Now that Lin Shen has become the sole shareholder of Richemont Group, he will naturally increase investment in the apparel business.

What is the level of a perfect designer?

Karl Lagerfeld, who is famous in the fashion circle, belongs to this level.

How awesome is Karl Lagerfeld?

In his hands, Chanel can even catch up with Hermès.

Guo Bei's talent and ability are by no means worse than Karl Lagerfeld.

As a female designer, she naturally knows how to empty a woman's wallet better than men.

…

During this Chinese New Year, Lin Shen plans to take his family to travel abroad.

Chinese New Year in China means nothing more than eating dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

This Spring Festival Gala is not as good as every year.

This year’s Spring Festival Gala investment promotion is the most embarrassing, with leading Internet companies showing little interest.

The standards set by Guanhai Group last year were too high, which led to many discussions among the Spring Festival Gala program crew. In the end, they had to lower their standards before they found a company willing to spend money.

He has a group of elites under his command, all of whom are loyal to him.

I'm afraid there is no boss in the whole world who is more worry-free than him.

A large family goes out, plus a nanny and bodyguard accompanying them.

Ordinary private jets are simply not enough.

The inhumane Boss Lin took precautions and bought the last A380 aircraft delivered by Airbus from Emirates Airlines in advance.

After delivering a batch of aircraft to the UAE in 2021, Airbus will completely cease production of the A380.

A380, as the dominant aircraft in the air.

The price of a single aircraft reaches 450 million US dollars.

Taking into account the depreciation cost of the aircraft, it was sent for personalized customization after purchase.

The previous Gulfstream G800 was directly resold to Guanhai Group by Lin Shen, and all senior executives of the subsidiary have the right to use it.

The Gulfstream G800 only cost 600 million.

This A380 cost Lin Shen 3.5 billion.

It was also the first time for Lin Shen to come here for acceptance inspection, and it felt like an eye-opener.

How big is this plane?

The length is 72 meters, the wingspan is 79 meters, and the height is 24 meters.

Well...it's only as high as an eight-story building.

Lin Shen removed all the more than 800 seats in the original cabin of the plane.

The free area is as big as three tennis courts.

With such a large area, installing a double bed, toilet, kitchen, lounge and conference room is all trivial.

On the market, only Lin Shen and the Saudi prince would lavishly buy an A380 as their own private jet.

The purchase cost of the aircraft itself alone reached an astonishing US$400 million.

In addition to the US$100 million spent on renovation, annual maintenance fees, crew expenses, and route purchase costs...

Even tens of billions of people can't afford such a big baby.

Their family, plus the accompanying persons, only used less than 1/5 of the aircraft's loading capacity.

As for where to go during the New Year, of course it’s the United States.

Other places are either not fun to play or not good enough.

Fortunately, Dongzi is also with Lao Mei.

Compared with Europe, the United States has always been the first choice for immigrants in our country.

Feng Tongtong, Zhang Guoshi, Dongzi, Cai Chongxin, a long list of names that are familiar to everyone, have all bought properties in Lao America and planned to settle down.

Well, everyone knows the truth.

Without the support of the system, Lin Shen would have run away long ago.
