Becoming the richest man starts with making complaints

The reason why Cao Shen rejected Xiao Gang's 300 million was that he understood Xiao Gang's intention.

What Obsidian is interested in is Tech Deep Throat’s coverage of entrepreneurs.

The personnel costs of investment institutions cannot be compared with the media, especially top institutions like Obsidian.

Their lowest-level investment manager has an annual salary of at least 400,000 yuan a year. With five travel insurances and one housing fund, as well as various reimbursements for meals and dinners, the company's expenses are upwards of 600,000 yuan.

As for early projects, it is a comprehensive casting of the net, and coverage is extremely critical.

Therefore, if you want to make early investment, the number of employees must be indispensable.

No matter what, you have to recruit at least twenty people to set up a show. Don't look at Xiao Gang's 300 million yuan, which is 6 million yuan in management fees per year.

These six million, placed inside Obsidian, are not enough to support these twenty people.

Also, Obsidian has always played in the mid-to-late game and secondary market.

The failure rate of early-stage projects is high. If Obsidian's brand is directly used, if the revenue does not meet expectations, its own brand image will be affected.

Therefore, you need to start one outside the staff, practice, and figure out the gameplay and routines of early investment, and then add more money yourself.

And he asked four people with voting rights to come over. Those who can vote must be at least director level within Obsidian.

An Obsidian director can't afford an annual salary of two million.

This six million alone is not enough to pay these four people, and Cao Shen will have to pay more.

And Cao Shen only has one vote, doesn't that mean he has to report to these four big men?

After all, Cao Shen is just a wage earner who gets paid for free.

Besides, with the 20% profit sharing, there is a system in place, and Cao Shen can guarantee that the projects he invests in will be 100% profitable, so why should he share 80%?

He wanted to invest more money, but this method was really a loss.

So Cao Shen refused as soon as he figured it out. As for the money, he would make it by himself, but it would just be slower.

But when Boss Xiao called for dinner, Cao Shen naturally had to go. His position in the industry was there.

So, early in the morning, Cao Shen came over according to the address in the text message.

It's not far from Xiadi. In Wubeikou, Beiqing University is nearby. This is where there are many universities in Beiqi and it is also the largest "college area" in Beiqi.

Qingqingjiayuan 3305, Cao Shen knocked on the door.

It was Xiao Gang who opened the door. He was wearing a dark gray sweater. Compared with his thin face and frame, he was quite big. He didn't look thin at all.

What surprised Cao Shen was that the room was very small, only a single room of about 80 square meters, which was very unsuitable for Boss Xiao's identity.

This wouldn't be Xiao Gang's "kind of" home in Beiji...

"This is my home in Beiji. Let's go to the rooftop." Xiao Gang led the way. The 33rd floor is the top floor of Qingqing Garden. You can go straight to the rooftop from inside.

There is a transparent greenhouse of about 300 square meters on the rooftop. On a cold day, the red and pink flowers inside are in full bloom.

There are two chairs in the flower room, and a Cantonese breakfast and two cups of Pu'er tea are already placed on a small round table.

Cao Shen was not polite and took a shrimp dumpling to eat.

"Well, this Dried Bamboo Shoots and Shrimp Dumplings is the signature of Dinghexuan. It's the only restaurant in Beiki where you can have morning tea."

"Ding Hexuan? Can you deliver food so far away?" Ding Hexuan is in the CBD, halfway across the city, and the food here is so fresh that it doesn't look like it has been homeless.

"Oh, their chef just made it here. It's still incomplete and the skin isn't elastic enough." Xiao Gang also picked up a shrimp dumpling and took a bite.

Well, if you are rich, powerful, and awesome, the chef will turn into a private chef.

When I get rich in the future, I will also have to support a few cooks.

"Mr. Xiao, why don't you live in the CBD? It's close and you can eat the best tasting food." Cao Shen stuffed a barbecued pork bun into his mouth. He didn't mind that the noodles were not chewy. It tasted great if he could change the taste.

“My building in the CBD is all rented out, so there’s no space left.”

Cao Shen choked: "Mr. Xiao, this building..."

"Yes, it's mine too. There are houses in the school district here, which are easy to rent. In ten years or so, when the prices are high, you can sell them all. You can also buy some, which can be considered a diversified investment."

It's such a building, Cao Shen is still a little envious.

Qingqing Jiayuan should be the building built two years ago, with an area of ​​25,100 square meters?

Xiao Gang should have taken it directly from the developer, which would have been cheaper.

Ten years later, the price of a school district house in this location would be 120,000 square meters according to Cao Shenyuan's world.

Xiao Gang's suggestion is very good. When he has more money, he should also buy some housing in the school district to live in.

Calculated based on the annualized rate of return, it’s definitely a bargain!

"I thought you would live in a big villa in Beiji." Cao Shen took a sip of tea. You are a rich man.

"No, villas are not strictly needed. The price is greatly affected by the economic environment, so they are not suitable for real estate investment.

The core of investing in real estate is investing in real estate resources.

Scarce resources are valuable, and good educational resources are the rarest of scarcity.

Therefore, housing in a school district is the best choice.

And I don’t have much time in Beiji. It’s a waste of time for one person to occupy such a big place.

If a villa is rented out, the rent-to-sale ratio is far inferior to that of a house in a school district. "

Cao Shen raised his head and looked at Xiao Gang.

Xiao Gang smiled: "Do you think I'm stingy?"

"No, no." Cao Shen denied inconsistently.

"I'm quite stingy, and I guess you will be too in the future.

When you invest, especially in the secondary market, and you know that the value of your assets will increase by 10% tomorrow, you are reluctant to spend every penny. "Xiao Gang said while serving Cao Shen more tea.

"If you don't spend money, why make money?" Cao Shen tapped his fingers on the table.

Xiao Gang smiled:

“Making money itself is the greatest pleasure.

When you have a lot of money, money is just a number on a statement.

All a person can eat is three meals and all he can sleep on is a bed. How much can he spend?

At least for me, the satisfaction of making money is far greater than the joy of spending money. "

Cao Shen nodded. Buffett, the "stock god" in the original world, also lived in seclusion all day long, eating Coke burgers, but he had a lot of money.

"What's more, besides money, there is a more important thing that can satisfy a person's vanity more than material things."

"Is it influence?" Cao Shen raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Gang.

"Yes! It's influence."

Xiao Gang wore slippers, walked slowly to the edge of the greenhouse, and sat down on the railing.

From here, you can overlook the entire college area.

Science and technology parks are rising from the ground one after another, and the busy morning rush hour is accompanied by the rising morning light to start the hustle and bustle of the day.

Busy people are like ants, lining up, driven by time, towards an unknown future.

The whole city wakes up from the darkness, shaking off yesterday's fatigue, stretching to welcome today's freshness or loneliness.

Xiao Gang lit a cigar and looked down at the city below:

"Cao Shen, do you know where Obsidian's influence comes from?"
