The Adults Had It Tough, Too

"Mr. Lin Qi, I think there are some problems with your statement."

Just after Lin Qi "simply" made a short-term market value evaluation for his Interstellar Trade Company and shocked these people with his skillful skills, some of them put forward some different opinions.

This is normal. Business is about coming and going. No one stipulates that others cannot have back-and-forth discussions on price issues.

Lin Qi naturally would not do this. This was definitely not the way to discuss business. He took out a pack of cigarettes, nodded, and motioned for the other party to continue talking.

The gentleman wearing a blue tie put forward some different views, "I think the valuation of a company is not based on its profits as the only criterion for valuation, and it is impossible for Interstellar Trading Company to use all the profit money to develop and expand the company itself, so I think the valuation you proposed may not be accurate."

In fact, the blue-tie statement is basically the same as a monthly salary of 200 yuan and being able to save 2,400 yuan a year. This is just an ideal valuation method, but it is unlikely to happen in practice.

The first is the fluctuation of income. The income can never be maintained within a narrow range. It will fluctuate, sometimes even violently, which can make the actual effect and the ideal effect have a big gap.

And so far, the business has only been carried out in one region: Sabine City. The income situation in other places is hard to say. Overall, this is not an easy task.

All the equipment and materials required to build a roadside stall may only cost 500 yuan, but it can bring a profit of 300 to 500 yuan to its owner every month. So does this mean that the recent market value of this independent roadside stall can be worth tens of thousands of yuan? Without the introduction of Access System and the threshold, this is of course impossible, so Lin Qi's statement is somewhat suspected of stealing the concept.

Just as mentioned above, the reason why business is very interesting in the eyes of many people is not only because most businessmen are fans of numbers. They prefer to compete with others in the process of fighting wits and courage. They not only enjoy the increase of numbers, but also enjoy the fun of crushing others.

At this time, Lin Qi lowered his head. He held a box of matches and rubbed the match with his fingers. There was a hiss accompanied by a burst of white smoke. He took two puffs, flicked the matchstick, and threw it into Ashtray.

At this time, he looked up at the blue tie opposite with a smile on his face, took a puff of cigarette, exhaled, and said, "Why not?"

Without waiting for the other party to give his thoughts, Lin Qi continued with a smile, "I will invest all the money in the construction and operation of the company to make it more and more perfect and cover more areas."

He was sitting on the sofa, his left hand pressed on the top of the backrest of the sofa, and his right hand held a cigarette, pressing it on the knee of his crossed leg. His whole person was very relaxed, and at the same time he was filled with an air of confidence.

"When our channels and coverage meet my needs for a pioneering step, I will make a transition to become at least the largest channel player in the state."

"At that time, in addition to supermarkets and Super Mall, people will have a brand new choice, and this choice can be said to be the best one they can choose!"

"Gentlemen, this is not just a second-hand commodity trading business. In the end, it can even cover every corner of everyone's life."

"The electrical appliances they use come from our company, the furniture they use comes from our company, even their houses, their jobs, their food, clothing, housing and transportation all come from our company..."

"Gentlemen, to be honest, when I estimated the figure of 50 million, my heart was bleeding. I even wanted to increase the estimate several times, so that maybe you would give up."

His expression was serious and sincere, and there was some helplessness in his voice, "But I know that we are all standing together. At least for now, we are a 'group of people.' I also understand how the capital game is played. Helping each other is the only reason why we can stand higher than others."

"If you think this price is too high, then I can only express my regret with joy. If you are willing to join this plan, it will give me a headache."

Several people looked at each other, and they felt that what Lin Qi was saying now was a bit too false, but it may not be impossible to realize. This is a very troublesome situation. If it is true or false, it will not make people feel such a headache.

Lin Qi also talked about the leasing of second-hand goods, which is an even more terrifying solution to people's short-term impulse for certain material needs.

What he talked about, coupled with the vision and future he described, made the people sitting opposite him suddenly start to feel excited.

The more they listened to Lin Qi describe what his ideal company would look like, the more they felt that something was wrong.

Lin Qi's description was too detailed, so detailed that there were many details that they had not thought of or noticed. This also made them think that Lin Qi must have a more detailed overall plan, and he was implementing it according to this plan.

Now that he has taken the most critical step, as long as he makes no mistakes, the chance of "cutting off" is basically very small. The reason is very simple. These businesses in the hands of Lin Qi are "People-Benefiting Policy" promoted by Mayor Landon. His company can be seen as the most intuitive manifestation of whether Mayor Landon's policies are effective and valuable.

The better his company does, the more it shows that Mayor Landon's policy is valuable to society and suitable for the current social environment. If his company fails, it means that the policy may not be so appropriate.

However, this kind of failure can only be Lin Qi's own failure. If Lin Qi's company goes bankrupt due to the "cutting off" of others, or fails to expand according to his plan, it will not only offend Lin Qi alone, but also offend Mayor Landon, as well as all the capitalists and politicians around Mayor Landon who are closely related to him and have close interests.

So even if they learn from Lin Qi and start this kind of Secondhand Goods Auction, the scale will not be very large, and they will always face some troubles, which is much more troublesome than directly investing in Lin Qi business.

Businessmen only like money, not trouble.

"But the valuation of 50 million is too much. Henghui's market value is only over 100 million..." A person with Cyan Tie interjected.

Henghui's market value is about 1.7 billion, which is already one of the largest giants in the country. Many people may have a very confused feeling. 1.7 billion is indeed an astonishing number, but it is not as much as imagined.

In fact, this is also a way of changing the concept. When society needs people to understand the power of a Group Company, it only needs to hide those negative assets. For example, if some politicians need to have significant results during their time in power and the local economy has huge development, then the birth of some successful companies is the best way.

Companies with a market value of tens of millions or billions have been born one after another, but people do not know that most of these companies are actually operating under a "negative equity operation".

The bank lent them money. In order to make the financial report meet certain social needs, political needs and even the needs of investors on Stock Market, these loans from the bank will in some form become part of the company's positive assets or even profits.

When reporting, they will report what needs the public to see, which is what they want, hiding the source of the money and the debt the company has incurred.

But when local politicians or society need to reduce the influence of a company, they will offset the positive and negative assets when evaluating the market value, and then use the result of addition and subtraction as the final market value of the company.

A company with assets of 1 billion may be burdened with various debts of 900 million. If a company with a market value of 1 billion collapses, it will give people the feeling that a mountain is collapsing. But when a company with a market value of 100 million collapses, people will have a special emotion... "I thought this company was so fucking great." They will not have the illusion of doomsday, but will feel a little gloating.

Similarly, "Our newly established company has a market value of one billion after one night" is definitely much better and more effective than "Our company has a debt of one billion just after it was established."

Lin Qi always maintained his demeanor. At this time, he said slightly, "Interstellar Trade Company does not have any non-performing assets, and there will not be any non-performing assets. Our profit is enough to fully meet the company's development needs."

"Gentlemen, I have begun to establish relevant branches in various cities. By the end of this year at the latest, all branches will be put into operation."

"When that time comes, we may still be sitting here, but the valuation you face will not be 50 million, but 500 million, or even more!"

It is already August, and strictly speaking there are only more than three months until the end of the year. Lin Qi cleverly used some environmental factors and time factors to instill a sense of urgency in these people.

In three months' time, the market value is expected to increase tenfold - they don't care whether it has actually increased tenfold by then, all they care about is this statement.

The purpose of investors is not to grow and prosper with a company. What they want is money or other things that can benefit them.

Waiting for Lin Qi's business to be fully launched before entering, and entering now are completely different concepts. Moreover, they also believe that by the end of the year, Lin Qi, a young man, will really have the courage to shout stupid words with an estimated value of 500 million in front of investors.

"We need to discuss..."

One Pink Tie expressed his position, and others nodded. They need to consider how to use the advantage outside the market to put pressure on Lin Qi, or to offset part of the monetary value.

For example, the policy resources they have in hand, or methods such as cross-shareholding, in short, if they can spend less cash, they should spend as little as possible. After all, in this situation, no one's pockets are rich.
