Chapter 692: The Investment Policy of the Dumb People with Too Much Money

October 20th, the morning of Thursday...

At Dream Realization Ventures...

“So many companies are asking for investment?

“Is it because of the Old Ma?

“Impossible, doesn’t his Weibo still only have tens of thousands of fans so far?”

Pei Qian looked at the list of companies in his hand with an incredible expression.

Since the beginning of the month, He Desheng has been reporting companies one after another that had found Dream Venture Capital in hopes for cooperation.

Some small companies were asking purely for investment, but some large companies also sought strategic cooperation.

In the beginning, Pei Qian didn’t take it too seriously but asked He Desheng to push them away for a while, telling these companies that the investment of Dream Venture Capital should go through the process and let them wait patiently for a while.

Looking at the first half of October that had gone, it was not appropriate to postpone any further later. It must be dealt with.

As a result, he took a look at the list of applicants for investment today and discovered that there were already more than a dozen large and small companies, and that was not all.

He Desheng shook his head: “It should have nothing to do with Boss Ma... probably because of the previous financial program on TV.”

Pei Qian’s eyes widened.

In the previous program, Professor Bai analyzed Tengda’s business model and then said terrible words: ‘Other companies are unlikely to be able to learn Tengda’s business model, but they can cooperate with Tengda!’

Also, ‘I think that, given Boss Pei’s awareness of risk and Tengda’s defense against risk, Tengda Corporation would make an excellent working partner!’

Professor Bai was a great economist. He said that Tengda’s model was very stable and healthy, and it would be a good partner. Was there anything to doubt?

Therefore, these companies came to seek cooperation!

Pei Qian sighed slightly. The situation took its own course regardless of his wishes.

Was it so difficult for Tengda to keep a low profile?

Pei Qian was confused, looking through the brief introduction materials of these companies.

He did not understand.

There was real and fake information, which were difficult to distinguish. Moreover, even if they were true, they would be exaggerated. Using these data to judge which one would lose money and which would make money was beyond Boss Pei’s ability.

Would he definitely lose money by choosing companies that seemed particularly outrageous?

Pei Qian has already suffered a lot from shared phone booths and Fully-Automated Bickering Machine projects, and he really did not have this confidence.

What if he judged by the size of the company?

If a large company could develop, the chance of losing money was inherently small. If they were to cooperate with Tengda and garnered attention, the chance would be even smaller...

Small companies were more likely to fail, but once they make money, they would get more rewards than large companies...

The loss from ten small companies could be returned by the success of one small company.

So difficult!

Pei Qian found that Dream Venture Capital had become a bit of a hot potato. It was mainly because of several successful investments. It had become a bit overly deified. Coupled with the publicity of the TV show, too many companies were now seeking investment... which made it difficult to identify which ones are reliable and which ones were not.

Give up Dream Realization Ventures?

No, if he left it all to He Desheng, wouldn’t it become a department that had already taken off to be handed over to professionals? The consequences would definitely be even more disastrous!

Pei Qian pondered; he had to think of a way.

Since the project he chose would make money and would also probably make money if he were to give it to He Desheng, then he had to find a way to minimize the possibility of profitability.

Just like the physical industries and the ‘Destitution Plan’.

In the case that it was likely to make money—diluting the probability, let the person-in-charge spend all the money in accordance with the rules, and the less one made, the better.

“Boss Pei, take a look at this list. Which companies should we be working with?” He Desheng asked tentatively.

Pei Qian flipped through it casually and pushed the information aside.

“There is no need to look at it.

“I will determine the investment policy today. In the future, you will invest through Dream Realization Ventures in accordance with the established policy.”

He Desheng’s eyes couldn’t help but shine.

Investment policy?

Could Dream Realization Ventures be finally entering the next stage?

When Dream Realization Ventures was first established—other than the first investment by Boss Ma, all other investments were basically made by Boss Pei.

Of course, Boss Ma’s investment seemed to have some connection with Boss Pei in the dark.

As an investment genius, Boss Pei’s move could indeed guarantee a 100% success rate for projects invested by Dream Realization Ventures.

However, such a model could hardly continue.

Boss Pei was busy with his work, and he had to consider the development direction of the entire Tengda Corporation while also considering brand-new business models for new industries and even take time to design games.

Ordinary people would be already exhausted just by taking care of one of the tasks. It was really surprising that Boss Pei could take care of all of them.

However, it would be too inefficient to always get Boss Pei to choose project investments in hand.

Now that the work of Dream Realization Ventures was gradually on the right track, Boss Pei could naturally let go.

As for the specific investment policy to be adopted?

He Desheng looked forward to it very much.

Most domestic giant companies basically had an investment business. Investment was not only to obtain income but also to expand the company’s business and build a richer ecosystem.

At present, the investment models of large domestic companies could basically be divided into three types.

The Ally Model: give money and resources and will give some guidance, but do not pursue absolute control.

The Great Qin Empire model: a high degree of unification of thought, the pursuit of absolute control...

The Guanning cavalry model: look for companies and teams with strong combat effectiveness to purchase at high prices and send them out after ideological training. These departments would be more like mercenaries.

These three models had their pros and cons, but from He Desheng’s perspective, it was clear that the Ally Model was the most successful.

The Great Qin Empire model pursued absolute control over investment companies, but in many cases, there would be situations where outsiders guide insiders, and the originally good projects were turned into rubbish.

The Ally Model did not pursue absolute control. It was a mutually beneficial symbolic model with partners, but it could also achieve a win-win situation.

What kind of investment model would Boss Pei establish for Dream Realization Ventures?

Pei Qian coughed slightly: “All companies requesting investment will be ranked on a first-come, first-served basis.

“We only do the most basic screening. These companies must be law-abiding and operating with integrity. We’ll screen nothing else.

“In addition, I don’t care how much the boss of this company pays himself, but we must ensure that all the money we invest is put into the operation of the company and cannot be used by the boss for his own consumption.”

Pei Qian did not want Tengda’s money to be used by these garbage companies to do bad things. This was his most basic bottom line.

Similarly, Pei Qian couldn’t accept these company bosses squandering Tengda’s money.

Boss Pei had worked so hard for a few months to earn just so much. If the bosses of these companies found ways to spend it on their own after getting the investment from Tengda, then Boss Pei’s mentality would collapse.

Of course, most investment companies would have similar requirements when investing, but Pei Qian’s requirements would be more stringent.

Pei Qian did not care about everything else.

As long as these companies operate with integrity—no matter how outrageous and failing their business models are, Pei Qian would not care.

Pei Qian continued: “Invest according to the size of each company, but the first investment amount cannot be too much.

“Give them in the order of first come, first served; thus, we are late waiting at the back of the line.

“If a company becomes profitable, we’ll immediately divest and sell it.

“If you make money after selling, then immediately invest in the next company.

“If there is no profit, we will continue to invest more. We sell if we make a profit, and we continue to invest if we do not make a profit.

“In short, make sure that the company does not have too much spare money on the books. If all of them lose money and there is no more money, then ask me immediately. I will continue to support them according to the situation.”

The system was relatively loose regarding investment.

It would be difficult for Pei Qian to control when an investment project would produce a product so the system would not force the invested company to have an output, but it would limit the amount of system funds used for investment.

In other words, the money earned by Dream Realization Ventures could be reinvested at will, regardless of the system; but if it was invested with Tengda Group’s money, it would not be unlimited.

Pei Qian was also not so idealistic. It was alright as long as Dream Realization Ventures did not make money, it would be better if he could consume some system funds.

“That’s about all... are there any questions?” Pei Qian looked at the dumbfounded He Desheng.

He Desheng blinked blankly.

Any questions?

A lot of them!

Others had the Ally Model, Great Qin Empire model, Guanning cavalry model; all of them sounded domineering.

In the end, we’re...

‘Dumb people with too much money’ model?

Obviously, the probability of failure of these companies would be much greater than the probability of success!

In the end, what did Boss Pei’s model mean? We would not continue investing if the company was profitable, but continue investing if the company keeps losing money?

It would be impossible to make money this way, right?

Moreover, the most basic thing for an investment company would be to screen projects, screen out all those unreliable companies, and leave only reliable companies to invest in.

Even when done this way, many investment companies still lost their money.

Yet, they would not be screening anything... but invest in everything they saw?

Boss Pei might have certain requirements, but they were only the most basic supervision.

There were still many ways to lose the money even if these companies do not deliberately do bad things and misappropriate the funds.

He Desheng was silent for a moment: “Boss Pei, are there no other screening conditions?

“Even if it is first come, first served... there must be a priority, right?”

Pei Qian shook his head: “There is no priority. Invest strictly in the order of first come, first served.

“You must stick to this policy, don’t have any ideas of your own, and just do what you should do.”

He Desheng was still full of doubts, but he stopped asking more questions seeing Boss Pei so determined.

Boss Pei was an investment genius after all, and the policy set by the investment genius would definitely not go wrong.

“Alright, Boss Pei, I’ll make arrangements based on this.”

Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction.

Very good, the work of Dream Realization Ventures had also been arranged!

It would probably be impossible to make a profit as long as they persisted with this investment model...

Profits would be something very far away down the road...

Even if there were short-term profits, they would withdraw and invest in other projects to ensure that there was no spare cash in Dream Realization Ventures.

Perfect!
