Chapter 49 Venture Capital
At that moment, Lan Wufeng thought that Lin Zhenhua was crazy, and his sympathy overflowed into a vast ocean.Of course, Lan Wufeng knew that Lin Zhenhua was a kind person, otherwise he would not have rescued him, a shameless thief, on the road, and he did his best to help him find a way to make a living.But what Lin Zhenhua did to him, including giving him a few catties of white sugar and helping him make a briquette mold, was after all within the scope of normal people's sympathy.And for no reason, he expressed his willingness to give the goods on credit to an unknown Qi Zhongmou. Isn't this kind of behavior too risky?

Qi Zhongmou was also stunned by Lin Zhenhua's words.Previously, Lin Zhenhua promised to reduce the price of his goods by 2%. Qi Zhongmou can be understood as Lin Zhenhua's generosity. In the business field, there are such things as giving up 2% of the profit.But Qi Zhongmou couldn't believe that he gave him the goods directly on credit. He and Lin Zhenhua just met by chance. Why did Lin Zhenhua believe him so?
Lin Zhenhua looked at the expressions of the two, and smiled wryly in his heart. This is the loneliness of the traversers.He couldn't tell the two people that I knew who Qi Zhongmou was a long time ago. This person will be worth billions in the future. I believe he will not be greedy for such a small profit.Helpless, he could only bite the bullet and say to Qi Zhongmou: "Why, brother Qi doesn't believe me?"

Qi Zhongmou felt a little confused: I don't believe in your character, I just doubt your mental health.

"Brother Lin, what did you say? You are willing to give me the goods on credit. I should thank you. I don't know how much goods Brother Lin is willing to give me on credit?"

"Hmm..." Lin Zhenhua really didn't have any idea in his head, "Why don't we buy the goods at 1 yuan first."

"Brother Lin!" Lan Wufeng couldn't bear it any longer, and gave a soft drink to stop Lin Zhenhua's impulse.

"Uh, how about a little less." Seeing Qi Zhongmou's surprised face, Lin Zhenhua quickly retracted his words, "Well, it's 5000 yuan, what do you think?"

Qi Zhongmou confirmed again and again that his brain was fine, and bet that Lin Zhenhua's brain was also fine, so he took a deep breath and asked, "Brother Lin, do you really trust me so much?"

"Trust me, what's the matter?"

"I..." Qi Zhongmou gritted his teeth and took out a lot of things from his bag, "Brother Lin, take a look, this is my letter of introduction, and this is the license of the store I run. , this is my account book..."

"Wait, why did you let me see these?" Lin Zhenhua was confused.

"I want you to trust me."

"I didn't say I didn't believe you."

"That's right, you believe me. But, I can't even believe why you believe me so much." Qi Zhongmou expressed his confusion with a sentence pattern with a very complicated grammatical structure.

Lin Zhenhua had no choice but to pretend to say: "Brother Qi, although I don't have much contact with you, I trust my intuition. I believe that a person with a big heart like Brother Qi will not break his promise on such a small matter. I put Giving you these products on credit is actually a bet on my own eyesight. If I am wrong, I deserve the loss of money. If I am right, I hope Brother Qi will treat me as his own in the future. I believe, Brother Qi The future development is limitless, maybe Brother Meng Qi will take care of our brothers when the time comes."

"No problem, no problem!" Qi Zhongmou said, "I promise with my personality, I will never break my promise."

"Well, let's get out two boxes. Brother Qi, choose the products you want. The total amount will be calculated as 5000 yuan. You can keep the 200 yuan for now. You can return it when you go back to Sichuan." It will cost money." Lin Zhenhua said.

"Okay, then I would like to thank Brother Lin."

"Brother Qi, listen to me, you'd better get some of that mike mirror, it will definitely sell well in two months."

"Mike mirror?" Qi Zhongmou asked in confusion, "This kind of sunglasses is called Mike mirror?"

"Uh...my friend abroad said so." Lin Zhenhua knew he was aphasia, and quickly covered it up.

Mike mirrors all over the street used to be a beautiful scenery on the land of China. The TV series "The Man from the Atlantic Ocean" was broadcast in the United States in 1979 and appeared on the screen of China Central Television in May 1980. The sunglasses worn by the protagonist Mike suddenly Fascinated by fashionable men and women, it was named Mike Mirror.Of course, the elderly who are not used to this thing call it toad glasses, because after wearing this kind of sunglasses that cover half of the face, they look like big-eyed toads.

At that time, there was another special thing about wearing Mike mirrors, that is, the labels on the mirrors were absolutely reluctant to tear off. The labels on this kind of imported glasses were all written in foreign languages. If you tore them off, who would know that you were wearing imported glasses?As for whether the label will block the line of sight, it is not a matter for fashionable men and women. If you want style...you can only sacrifice transparency.

It was still March of 1980, and the TV series hadn’t been staged in China yet, so Qi Zhongmou couldn’t see the market opportunity of Mike Mirror at all. This also proved from another aspect that Qi Zhongmou was just a business genius, and he was definitely not a time traveler. .

Seeing the two big boxes full of goods, Qi Zhongmou was a little dizzy with happiness. The goods worth 5000 yuan were transported back to Sichuan, and the income was at least 2 yuan once they were sold. After paying off the payment owed to Lin Zhenhua, there was still a balance of 15000 yuan. He could also become a million-dollar household.With the capital of more than 1 yuan, he can let go and do a big job. He believes that within a few years, the more than 1 yuan can become 10, or even 100 million... As for the net worth of more than [-] million , I guess I have no hope in my life.

"Brother Qi, look at the car wagon I mentioned earlier..." Lin Zhenhua reminded at the right time.

"No problem, I'll take care of it!" Qi Zhongmou slapped his chest loudly, "I'll accompany this brother Lan to do it. After your goods are shipped, I'll take care of my own business."

"Brother Qi, please." Lin Zhenhua cupped his hands.

Qi Zhongmou found the freight yard administrator and went through the storage procedures again, storing his own goods and Lin Zhenhua's goods separately to avoid mistakes.Lin Zhenhua picked out two large boxes from his cargo, borrowed a small cart to push them, and left the warehouse.Their jeep was still waiting for them outside the freight yard. Lin Zhenhua put the boxes away, and then everyone got into the car together.

"Let's go, let's have something to eat first, and then Fengzi will go back to the guest house. Brother Qi may have to do some small things for me."

"No problem, just tell me." Qi Zhongmou replied, he just gave him 5000 yuan on credit, not to mention doing small things, even if he was asked to do some big things such as killing people and stealing goods, he would not hesitate to do so.

During the meal, taking advantage of Qi Zhongmou's opportunity to go to the toilet, Lan Wufeng pulled Lin Zhenhua and asked, "Brother Lin, why do you trust this Qi so much?"

"Fengzi, let me tell you the truth. When I was in the army, a comrade in arms once told me about Qi Zhongmou. He seemed to be boastful, but in fact he was a man with great ambitions. He would not covet the 5000 yuan. Money and stuff." Lin Zhenhua found a passable excuse.

"So that's how it is." Lan Wufeng was slightly relieved, "But, even if he doesn't owe us any money, there's no need for you to take the initiative to give him something on credit, right?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "Fengzi, my name is venture capital, do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Lan Wufeng said honestly. He felt that it was not a shame to claim that he didn't understand in front of Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Venture investment means that when you find a project with development potential, you must be willing to spend money on this project. In this way, if this project develops in the future, you can earn ten times or one hundred times. double the money."

"What if the project fails?" Lan Wufeng asked.

"You're a good question!" Lin Zhenhua praised, "If you fail, of course you will lose all your money. This is called risk. Venture capital is knowing that there are risks, but still investing. High risks have high returns. , understand?"

"I understand a little bit." Lan Wufeng said, "Brother Lin, what you mean is that you are optimistic about this Qi Zhongmou and think he may make a fortune in the future. If you help him now, he will be ten times richer in the future." , repay you a hundredfold. However, if he doesn't keep his promise, your money will be thrown away for nothing, and this is a risk, isn't it?"

"Very correct. You must know that my investment is valuable because of the risk. From Qi Zhongmou's point of view, I met him by chance, and I gave him 5000 yuan on credit just because I liked his character. He If the future succeeds, can you not be grateful for my trust in him today?"

"So that's the case." Lan Wufeng nodded, "But 5000 yuan is really too much. If it's 50 yuan, I think it's safer."

Lin Zhenhua chuckled: "Fengzi, you are about to become a rich man, and now you have to change your perspective on money. If all our goods are sold, the profit will be at least 10 yuan. At that time , would you still put 5000 yuan in your eyes?"

"There are so many?" Lan Wufeng asked in surprise.

"Of course, the price of an ordinary electronic watch in the market ranges from 8 to 10 yuan. Do the math, how many pieces are there in our box?"

Lan Wufeng calculated silently, his eyes became blurred.He thought for a while and asked, "Brother Lin, you'll entrust me to sell all these things, don't you worry?"

"Hehe, venture capital." Lin Zhenhua summed it up.

"However, I can't compare with Qi Zhongmou. Brother Lin, I'm really not a good person. I don't think I can do business. You'd better find someone who can do business to manage things. I'll just run errands for him. gone."

Lin Zhenhua scratched his head: "No way, I can't find such a person now."

"What if you hire Qi Zhongmou?" Lan Wufeng suggested.

Lin Zhenhua said: "I really thought about this at the beginning, but I gave up immediately. Qi Zhongmou is not the kind of person who is willing to be subordinate to others. If I take advantage of his downturn and recruit him, I might not even be able to be a friend in the future. If I give him credit like this now and help him accumulate his first pot of gold, maybe he will be more grateful to me instead."

"You may be right." Lan Wufeng said.

When the two were talking about this, Qi Zhongmou came back with a big smile on his face, holding a porcelain bottle in his hand: "Brother Lin, Brother Lan, I saw they had Moutai at the counter just now, I bought a bottle and came back. Let's have a good drink."
