Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1138: “Naturally” Investing in Star Bird Fitness

July 5th, Thursday.

At Dream Realization Ventures.

He Desheng handled the daily affairs of the investment firm as usual.

He felt that his work had been rather boring recently.

That was because Dream Realization Ventures was no longer the same as before.

Previously, Boss Pei had personally directed Dream Realization Ventures to invest in shared phone booths and Fully-Automated Bickering Machines. How interesting!

He Desheng had been in the investment industry for a long time. That was the most eye-opening and happiest time for him.

He Desheng felt like he was witnessing an investment miracle as he watched these projects that looked like they would lose everything if he invested money.

However, Boss Pei was less involved personally in such investments as Tengda Corporation’s work became more.

Boss Pei was no longer in charge of the specific matters of investment. He left a living investment myth in Jingzhou.

It was a real pity to some.

It was the happiest thing for He Desheng to be able to see Boss Pei’s godly operations up close. However, he no longer had such good luck.

Boss Pei left Dream Realization Ventures a few ‘brilliant plans’ after he stopped being in charge of investments.

First, he wanted He Desheng to invest without prejudice. The initial investment would be the same amount. If the investment incurred losses, he would continue to invest. If the investment earned money, he would withdraw.

At first, He Desheng thought that the investment method was ridiculous. However, after running it for a while, he realized that it had magically formed a screening mechanism.

Those who wanted to cheat money with high valuations would not be able to deceive Dream Realization Ventures because Dream Realization Ventures had already run away after making a small profit.

Dream Realization Ventures would continue to invest in companies that really needed money until it turned its losses into profits and obtained returns.

Coupled with the mechanism of sending financial overseers to the relevant companies to supervise eliminated the possibility of these companies scamming money and transferring their assets. Dream Realization Ventures’ formulaic investment could actually stabilize profits.

Finally, Boss Pei’s biggest killer move: Cold-Faced Lady!

Boss Pei might no longer be in charge of the specific affairs of Dream Realization Ventures but he took time out of his busy schedule to make an example of Meng Chang after realizing that Meng Chang was trying to cheat money. Through Meng Chang’s experience, he made those entrepreneurs who wanted to come to Tengda to cheat money stay away.

Who would dare to come to Tengda to cheat money with Meng Chang’s intelligence?

He was afraid that even if he managed to fool Boss Pei for a while, he would not be able to escape Boss Pei’s sharp eyes. He would still have to bear the consequences in the future.

Of course, there were still some entrepreneurs who genuinely wanted to start their own businesses. They also sincerely lost money.

That was because entrepreneurship was a high risk to begin with. Failure was the norm.

However, Dream Realization Ventures continued to invest in these projects.

This was a type of trial error. If he invested in ten projects, nine would lose money. However, if he earned one, he would be able to earn back what he had lost previously. The other investment firms basically operated in this way, but the success rate was different.

That made He Desheng, the person-in-charge, a little bored.

Of course, he was not completely an overseer. He would watch many investment projects. It was just like many automatic software that needed someone to watch and correct their mistakes.

Such a ‘Fully-Automated Investment’ mechanism might be very relaxed and happy but it would still feel a little boring after some time.

He missed the days when he was investing with Boss Pei.

Suddenly, He Desheng’s cell phone rang. A notification popped up on his schedule: “Invest in Star Bird Fitness.”

He Desheng quickly recalled what had happened.

“That’s right. Boss Pei called me on Monday morning and asked me to ‘naturally’ invest a sum of money into Star Bird Fitness in a few days.”

“It’s already Thursday. It should be about time.”

“However, Boss Pei said that it has to be ‘natural’. How exactly can I make it appear natural...”

He Desheng pondered for a moment and quickly had an idea.

It would be unnatural to call the boss of Star Bird Fitness directly and say that he wanted to invest.

That was because all the bosses in Jingzhou knew that Dream Realization Ventures’ money was the best but also the worst.

They said that Dream Realization Ventures had the lowest threshold. They would invest in projects that were passable. Then, they would send the finance department and follow the process. They were unlike other investment firms who had to think of ways to persuade investors to show their potential.

It was not easy to get it, but there were too many companies that wanted to be invested into by Dream Realization Ventures. There was a long queue, and he did not know when it would be his turn to follow Dream Realization Ventures’ process.

It was obviously not normal for Dream Realization Ventures to take the initiative to talk about investing.

Naturally, it did not meet Boss Pei’s ‘natural’ requirements.

However, He Desheng had a way.

He looked through the investment proposal that Dream Realization Ventures had received in the past few months and found the investment proposal for Star Bird Fitness.

Obviously, the boss of Star Bird Fitness, Che Rong, had sought Dream Realization Ventures’ investment a long time ago. However, he had waited in line for too long and could no longer wait.

He Desheng took a look. According to the normal queue process, it would take another three or four months to get Star Bird Fitness.

That was even though Star Bird Fitness was a local company in Jingzhou. It had submitted its investment proposal earlier and had higher priority in Dream Realization Ventures.

However, the specific investment schedule of Dream Realization Ventures would never be announced to the public.

No one knew when or which company it was.

Thus, he could naturally focus on this point.

He Desheng thought about it, he just had to bring forward the investment schedule for Star Bird Fitness.

The boss of Star Bird Fitness would not know where the process had reached. Wouldn’t that be fulfilling Boss Pei’s “natural” request?

At that thought, He Desheng operated in secret. He added a plug to Star Bird Fitness on the internal system and entered the investment project in advance.

“The company that Boss Pei wants to invest in is definitely not an ordinary company.”

“There must be something special.”

“What’s more, this is a gym. Boss Pei actually wants to invest in a gym when Tengda Corporation already has Deposit Fitness?”

“This task must be much more important than I imagined.”

Boss Pei might have repeatedly emphasized that “this is a small matter” but He Desheng knew very well that what Boss Pei personally instructed was never a small matter.

The so-called small matter was only a small matter compared to Boss Pei’s other work.

It was the most important matter to any department when the order reached the departments!

He Desheng made some preparations, looked up some information about Star Bird Fitness, and then called Che Rong using the number left on the investment plan. He was prepared to “naturally” discuss the details of the investment with him.

...

“Alright, alright. That’s settled for now!”

“Boss He, thank you so much! This investment is indeed very important to Star Bird Fitness!”

Che Rong hung up gratefully in Star Bird Fitness.

Li Shi asked with concern, “Has Dream Realization Ventures decided to invest in Star Bird Fitness?”

Che Rong was elated. “That’s right! It was given the highest rating in the internal department! Even though Dream Realization Ventures’ Boss He did not say it explicitly and everything seemed to be going according to the normal process, it was obviously because they were informed by Boss Pei in advance!”

Li Shi was elated as well. “That’s great! It’s exactly as I expected!”

Boss Pei and He Desheng had predicted that this would be done without anyone knowing.

After all, everything that He Desheng did was according to Dream Realization Ventures’ process.

Logically speaking, why would Che Rong link the ‘last weekend I met a young man with the surname Pei’ and ‘this Thursday I obtained Dream Realization Ventures’ together?

It looked completely unrelated.

However, Pei Qian had overlooked one point: Che Rong had Boss Li’s guidance...

In fact, the reason why Pei Qian felt that the name Star Bird Fitness was a little familiar was also because Li Shi had mentioned it when he ate with Pei Qian and Bao Xu at the nameless restaurant.

However, at that time, Pei Qian had no idea what Star Bird Fitness was. He was also focused on Jingzhou TV’s interview with the snack market, so he did not pay much attention to it.

Thus, Pei Qian thought that this matter would be done without anyone knowing. However, Che Rong and Li Shi had been waiting for this call for a long time.

Che Rong could not help but raise his thumb. “Boss Li, your grasp of Boss Pei’s mentality is really on point!”

Li Shi laughed. “It’s a small matter.”

Dream Realization Ventures’ money could allow Star Bird Fitness to open more branches, buy more equipment, and expand faster. Of course, that went without saying.

Even though the other investors and Che Rong had invested in it. However, it was definitely never enough in such a rapidly expanding period.

The faster Star Bird Fitness was developed, the more it could seize the commercial space in Jingzhou and even Handong Province apart from Deposit Fitness.

However, that was not the most important thing.

Li Shi had already analyzed it for Che Rong. There were two key points to Boss Pei’s investment.

First of all, this meant that Boss Pei had already accepted Star Bird Fitness and allowed it to integrate into Tengda Corporation’s system. This official recognition was equivalent to hugging his thigh tightly and was not afraid of falling down in the future.

Second, this meant that Boss Pei recognized the business model of Star Bird Fitness. This undoubtedly indicated that Star Bird Fitness had a high chance of success!

Why were so many companies so happy after being invested by Dream Realization Ventures? Why were they not so happy when other companies invested?

It was not all about money.

The key was that everyone knew that obtaining Dream Realization Ventures’ investment, especially Boss Pei’s personal investment, was almost guaranteed success!

It was not because of superstition or metaphysics, but because of Boss Pei’s 100% investment success rate.

The God of Investment in Jingzhou wouldn’t be messing around with you, alright!

Thus, Li Shi and Che Rong were very happy after receiving this investment.

“Next is to open branches as soon as possible and quickly spread the business model of Star Bird Fitness!”

“Of course, we also have to take note of the training and details.”

“However, these shouldn’t be difficult.”
