Chapter 506 - 233: The Temptation of Returning to the Village
The 30 billion in funds were quickly transferred to the company's account through the bank...
And the big move from IDE Capital had truly shocked the financial investment circle...
30 billion in the realm of financial investment isn't considered a lot, especially since the leading capital firms in the country control at least hundreds of billions, like Gaoling Capital, which alone invested in 27 listed companies in 2020, and Sequoia Capital in Hua Country, the second highest, nearing that with 25.
However, there's a difference between these top capital firms and IDE Capital.
The difference is that the funds they control are mostly investors' money, also known as private equity.
To put it plainly, they're basically working on behalf of their investors and just earning a certain reward...
Whereas IDE Capital is purely a privately held investment company, with 100% of the shares held by Gu Heng alone – how can one person's funds compare with the collective wealth of millions of financial investors?
But when it comes to personal wealth, there is something to talk about.
For example, the head of Gaoling Capital, the top company in Hua Country, Zhang Lei, even with all his assets, only has a net worth of 28 billion Yuan, which doesn't even match the cash flow that Gu Heng can muster...
Suddenly...
Not just the financial investment market of Hua Country, but even the global investment market began to pay attention to IDE Capital and closely monitor Gu Heng, the sole owner of IDE Capital...
Throughout all this, the protagonist, Gu Heng, was unaware, sitting in a specially custom-built armored Bentley, slowly driving on the country road back to the village...
As a boss, and now a capitalist, Gu Heng hadn't learned the ways of "bloodsucking" or "exploitation," but he mastered the art of the absentee owner, with one main rule– I finance it, employees do the work.
He himself had shelled out 30 billion Yuan; the monthly salaries of his dozens of employees combined were in the millions. If he had to micromanage everything like some social elite, wouldn't that be insane?
Wouldn't that be wasting his 30 billion?
He picked up his phone and looked at the rapidly decreasing numbers in his bank account; Gu Heng began to feel anxious...
At the peak, there had been 35.725 billion in his account, but with 30 billion taken out, the balance had dropped from eleven digits to ten, leaving merely 5.7 billion...
When he watched news stories in the past, the actor portraying Guanzhou's legendary tales once said, when he was most destitute, his bank account had only one million in it, living every day in anxiety, and Gu Heng had even mocked him then by saying why not eat minced pork...
That was only one million...
Back then, if Gu Heng had one million, he probably would've awoken smiling every day...
Yet he had mentioned, a bank account with merely "one million" was nerve-wracking?
Indeed, the pessimism between people is not reciprocal; back then, Gu Heng just found him noisy...
But now...
Gu Heng understood his feelings...
It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but hard to return...
With over 30 billion before, that wealth was his confidence...
Now suddenly with 30 billion less, leaving only 5.7 billion, wasn't his confidence reduced by six-sevenths, a reasonable cause for anxiety?
Initially, Gu Heng thought his investment of 30 billion into the company was a form of indulgence, surely the system would reward him in some way?
Not to mention a maximum ten-fold reward, even the smallest reward of double, would mean 60 billion.
Thus, he had been so eager to part with that money...
But then...
The system had no reaction...
These past few days, Gu Heng had thought a lot about the previous reward mechanisms of the system.
Firstly, the only thing he was sure of was that his expenditure of 30 billion definitely counted as indulgence.
As to why there was no reward, he roughly knew the reason.
It might be because the money hadn't actually been spent yet, still lying in the company's bank account.
Though the system was generous, it was still very strict.
Every bit of indulgence had to meet strict standards; the money must be spent for it to count as indulgence; otherwise, it's just moving from the left hand to the right.
If there wasn't this bug-proof system, then making money would be too easy.
All it would take was giving Gu Heng a hundred yuan cash, and he had the confidence to turn it into a trillion through a shell company in one year.
It was because he had clearly understood this principle that Gu Heng, immediately after the plane landed at Tianzhu Mountain Airport, called Jiang Ruxue and issued a firm order. The company must corporatize within a month, with headquarters and the new energy project established.
The 30 billion must be spent!
The core principle was...
Not the best! Not the most expensive! Only the fastest!
...
And in the extended rear space of the armored Bentley, it wasn't just Gu Heng; Lin Jiayun and He Jing were also seated inside.
Compared to Gu Heng's expressionless face, the two women looked a bit nervous, but given Gu Heng's serious expression, they didn't dare to speak, only occasionally exchanging glances...
They weren't anxious about Gu Heng's mood...
But the nervous anticipation of the destination they were soon to reach...
They were very clear about where they were going and what for...
They were going to celebrate the 50th birthday of Gu Heng's mother, Xu Hong...
As for why they were nervous, the reason was simple...
Even a regular boyfriend meeting parents can be nerve-wracking, let alone the fact they couldn't even be considered girlfriends, but mere "canaries." Naturally, they felt anxious.
Although Gu Heng had made it clear that his parents were just ordinary farmers without any strange temperaments and they didn't need to constrain themselves, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
What do you think?
