Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

He knew that Lei Jun's rice company couldn't hold that much money, so he simply made a big show of it in front of Lei Jun.

Lei Jun smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Li, you flatter me too much. Our Dami Company is just a small company that has just started making mobile phones. How can we accommodate so much capital?"

If anyone else had said these words to him, Lei Jun would have thought they were mocking him, but since Li Xiaofeng said them to him, he had no choice but to believe it.

There's no way around it; this young group chairman truly has the capability, and the current gap in strength between the two sides is simply too large.

Not to mention this young chairman of the Li Group, even the beautiful woman standing next to him, Liu Qianqian, the CEO of Wanzhong Media, is not someone he can compare to now.

It's worth noting that Wanzhong Media is a company listed on NASDAQ, with an annual net profit of two to three billion yuan.

His rice company is just starting out, and the total amount of financing this time is only one or two hundred million.

As Lei Jun finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Li Xiaofeng with a strange expression, and then looked him up and down, as if he wanted to re-evaluate him.

Seeing the other person's expression, Li Xiaofeng immediately understood that Lei Jun must have misunderstood.

"Mr. Lei, don't misunderstand. I have absolutely no intention of taking control of your Dami Mobile. You are the soul of Dami Mobile. Without you, this company would be worthless."

The reason I'm saying this to you is simply to tell you that I will take as much financing as your equity structure allows.

If your company ever needs money in the future and can't get funding from other venture capital firms, you can come directly to me. Within my capabilities, I will invest as much money as possible in your company.

Furthermore, I also promise you that no matter how many shares I hold in the rice company, I will not interfere with your operation and management, Mr. Lei. If you are still concerned, I can also sign a shareholding agreement with you as a concerted action party.

Li Xiaofeng's sincere words made Lei Jun slightly embarrassed. Come to think of it, the rice company was still a small startup.

But they are a large conglomerate with net assets of over 10 billion yuan, with numerous industries under their umbrella and extremely strong financial strength. How could they possibly covet such a small startup?

So Lei Jun quickly explained to himself, "Mr. Li, I really didn't think much of it. I just feel that it's really an honor for such a small company as ours to receive such favor from you!"

Then, still firmly, he said, "However, I also have some friends in the internet industry who are planning to invest in me. When doing business, you can't forget your old friends after making new ones!"

Li Xiaofeng laughed after hearing Lei Jun's words.

Lei Jun is indeed an excellent businessman with clear and decisive thinking. He did not abandon the principles of equity structure because of Li Xiaofeng's overtures.

To prevent your company from being easily controlled by others in the future, especially for startups, it is essential to diversify the equity held by investors.

Moreover, this kind of thing must be planned in advance in the early stages of the company's development; otherwise, the problem will become too serious to solve later on.

Li Xiaofeng showed no displeasure whatsoever, and said with a nonchalant smile, "President Lei, it's alright. As I just said, the amount of financing you can provide is up to you. I'll follow your arrangements."

What I just said was simply to show that the Li Group is fully committed to supporting you. Our group has many businesses, such as advertising and group buying, and we hope to have a long-term partnership in the future.

Lei Jun quickly smiled apologetically and said sincerely, "Thank you, thank you very much for your support, Mr. Li. It would be my honor to cooperate with the Li Group in the long term!"

The two talked for a while longer. After they finished talking, Lei Jun personally escorted Li Xiaofeng to his car. Even after Li Xiaofeng's Rolls-Royce Phantom drove away, Lei Jun was still standing there waving.

Li Xiaofeng was very satisfied with his meeting with Lei Jun.

This is not just about making money; it's also about the fact that a future world-renowned figure like Lei Jun shows genuine respect to you. The satisfaction that comes from a high social status is sometimes more satisfying than making money.

Of course, power can bring this strong sense of satisfaction, but modern society is different from ancient society, especially in China, where power is subject to many restrictions.

For example, someone like Li Xiaofeng, who is now in this situation, will definitely fall from grace due to his private life issues. He won't be able to take those national goddesses in the film and television industry into his possession, nor will he be able to buy luxury cars and yachts for himself and enjoy this wonderful life to the fullest.

On the way, Liu Qianqian couldn't help but ask, "Xiaofeng, do you think highly of this CEO Lei? I think it would be good enough if his mobile phone brand could even survive in the market."

Although he has a good reputation in the internet industry, there are so many domestic mobile phone brands now, some of which are large, well-established companies. His best outcome is likely to be acquired by a major manufacturer!

In this era, the mobile phone industry was still rife with counterfeits and fierce competition. Smartphones were just beginning to emerge, and many companies didn't do any research and development; they would just assemble them and sell them.

Apple phones dominate the market, while a certain Korean brand still holds a significant market share in China. Huawei phones are just starting out and have not yet posed a challenge to Apple.

Of course, Li Xiaofeng wouldn't tell her that he was reborn in his previous life and knew about Lei Jun's later development scale. He just smiled and said, "Venture capital, of course, should invest in small companies. Small companies grow faster, and the investment returns will be greater."

As you said yourself, those big companies are financially strong and don't lack funds at all. If we go to them with money in hand, it's like offering our warm welcome only to be met with a cold shoulder—it's not worth it!

Liu Qianqian asked with some doubt, "Doesn't our group also have a manufacturing sector? Making mobile phones doesn't seem difficult. Even a small company like Lei Jun's can do it. Why don't you make mobile phones yourself?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a calm tone, "Mobile phones are not electric cars. They are a high-tech industry with a much higher level of technology. Professional things should be left to professionals!"

Furthermore, the group already has enough businesses to manage, with loans alone totaling 120 billion yuan. Especially with Tesco.com, further investment will definitely be needed. We need to stabilize the situation first, recover some capital, and then consider expansion.
