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

Li Xiaofeng smiled, pulled her into his arms, and inhaled her refreshing scent. He said confidently, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It may seem a bit risky, but the risks aren't that great."

First of all, the real estate industry is still in an upward phase, and the real estate we own will continue to appreciate in value, and our net assets will continue to rise.

Secondly, all the companies under the group have gradually started to make a profit, unlike the previous two years when the profits of a single company were needed to cover the group's expenses.

Finally, and most importantly, the industries I invest in are all aligned with the country's economic development trends. Choosing the right path in business is more important than anything else.

Liu Qianqian lay lazily in Li Xiaofeng's arms, her face full of happiness, and said, "I trust your judgment. Your investment acumen has never been wrong over the years, and I believe you won't be wrong this time either."

However, given your substantial investment in chip foundries and your plans for a chip industry layout, which will undoubtedly involve investments in numerous other tech companies, will the privatization of Wanzhong Media be delayed?

Li Xiaofeng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need. I've roughly estimated that the net value of this batch of real estate is around 600 billion."

Even with the 25% corporate income tax deducted, according to current bank lending policies, obtaining a loan of 350 billion yuan from banks shouldn't be a problem; we have enough money.

Then, he put his arm around Liu Qianqian's slender waist, smelled the pleasant scent of her hormones, and began to calculate: "The group has currently taken out a loan of 100 billion yuan, and the chip foundry has taken out a loan of 80 billion yuan."

However, the investment in chip foundries is divided into three phases. The first phase, involving investment in factory buildings and R&D, is only 40 billion yuan. The other two phases will not start until next year and the year after, so it's not a loan that large amount all at once.

As for the privatization of Wanzhong Media, judging from the current situation, it seems that Jigage Media will have to compete with us for market share for at least another year, which means that it is unlikely to start until at least the end of this year.

Currently, Wanzhong Media's stock price is still falling, and Gage Media is also smearing us online. Don't pay attention to them; they're helping us drive the stock price down as much as possible.

I estimate that over 10 billion yuan should be enough to take back Wanzhong Media and turn it into a private enterprise of our group.

These three sums of money will require approximately 300 billion yuan in loans. According to the bank's current lending policies, and with the help of Secretary Li and Sister Sasha, it should be fine.

As for current investments in the chip industry, the number of companies receiving investment seems large, but most of these companies are currently startups, and each company is already considered to have raised tens of millions of dollars.

In addition, these startups will definitely seek financing from multiple institutions in order to diversify their equity ratios, which will further limit the amount of investment that can be allocated to us.

If each company invests 10 million at a time, investing in ten companies would only cost 100 million, while investing in one hundred companies would only cost 1 billion.

Of course, the financing scale of these companies will definitely increase in the future, but we will also have more and more money in our hands. As long as the group has money, we can just invest together.

Besides the real estate we own that continues to appreciate in value, I've also invested 20 billion yuan in Dongge Shopping Mall. According to reliable internal sources, Dongge Shopping Mall should be able to go public next year.

Once they go public, I'll sell all my shares there and cash out. I estimate that the money will multiply several times over.

Besides, didn't we also invest money in the rice company?

The rice company is currently experiencing rapid growth, and its valuation is rising quickly. In two years, I will consider whether to find an investment institution to take over the company and cash out some of the funds.

"This 30 billion yuan loan seems like a lot, but in this era of rapid economic development, I can quickly pay off the debt."

Liu Qianqian asked curiously, "Didn't you say that the rice company's valuation is rising very quickly? Why not just hold on to it and sell it when the valuation reaches its peak?"

"Valuations are all superficial. In addition to looking at the company's actual value, valuations also take into account the company's development trend. Actually, I also think that DaMi Company is a good company, but the development of any company will not be smooth sailing."

If a company's valuation grows too quickly, why not find someone to take over and cash out early?

From his memories of his past life, Li Xiaofeng vaguely remembered that the market valuation of the rice company plummeted before its listing, falling from a peak of 2000 billion yuan all the way down to a total market value of only about 450 billion yuan when it went public.

Of course, valuation is a rather abstract concept, but for companies like DaMi Company, which have a good reputation in the industry, their valuations are generally recognized by investment institutions, because investment institutions invest based on valuations.

Although it's not easy for Li Xiaofeng to cash out his shares in the rice company before it goes public, he believes that if he's willing to sell them by lowering the company's market valuation, some big-name venture capital firms will be willing to take them on.

Liu Qianqian nodded: "Okay, I will check our own customer information in detail. Even if they are not in our customer base, I will find someone to conduct a detailed investigation into their specific situation."

I'll give you information on all the companies in those two fields, and then you can filter them yourself. After all, you're best at investing.

Then, as if she had remembered something, Liu Qianqian tentatively asked, "By the way, Xiaofeng, a couple of days ago, when Cao Jinpeng came to my place to do advertising, he suddenly mentioned something."

"what's up?"

"He asked me if I wanted to act as a middleman between us and Architecture Media, so that we could sit down and have a proper talk, instead of fighting back and forth, and that things would be better if we could make money peacefully. What do you think he meant? Was it his idea or Architecture Media's idea?"

Li Xiaofeng thought for a moment and said with certainty, "It must be the idea of ​​the architecture team. Our competition with the architecture team is beneficial to companies that want to advertise. If the architecture team hadn't taken the initiative to ask for it, why would they be so kind?"

"How should I respond to them? Should I take the initiative to talk to them?"

"I think this is a test from Architecture Media to see if we can hold on. Let's ignore them and fight them to the end."

On the one hand, it's to show the outside world that our Li Group is not to be trifled with, and that provoking a war will come at a price; on the other hand, we want to privatize Wanzhong and have them help us suppress the stock price, which is beneficial to us.

"Nasdaq has stricter regulations, so having someone else help us lower the stock price can clear us of any suspicion of stock price manipulation."

"Okay, then I'll do as you say!"
