Chapter 254 Cornerstone Shares
In this era, this way of playing is actually just beginning.
For example, if someone approves your application at a certain stage, you are obligated to express your appreciation.
Giving money directly is too low-class. You should say it like this: "Boss, I have an investor who has withdrawn, and his share has become available. If you think it's appropriate, would you like to take over this share?"
This is a legitimate and legal investment, and even if someone investigates in the future, they won't be able to say anything.
Many people have made a fortune from this.
However, due to limitations, many of the relevant personnel are unsophisticated; they would rather have real money than this share.
They don't realize that real money carries risk, while this particular share is risk-free.
Of course, some people may not have money, but that's okay. If you don't have money, don't you have friends? Ask your friends to buy it for you!
Five or six years later, this practice became popular, giving rise to a type of "cornerstone broker" who specializes in collecting shares from relevant personnel.
Besides having a wide network of connections, the most important thing for someone who can do this kind of work is to be sensible.
After a stock price surges after listing, you need to know how to split the profits. Don't think that you can split it 50/50 with your boss; taking 20% is already quite good.
If you don't have a sense of proportion and get less money, you can forget about playing again.
Furthermore, the cornerstone shares held by leaders often do not have a lock-up period.
After the stock is listed, those who have this share can take advantage of the first wave of price increases to cash out and profit.
A few years later, after this method of operation matured, a certain office that managed internet companies made a fortune.
It goes without saying who works in this organization.
It goes without saying who received some of the cornerstone shares before the IPOs of several of the more well-known internet companies in later years.
This is essentially no different from America's donation; it's legal, reasonable, and compliant.
Advanced gameplay is often only suitable for advanced players.
They use legal and compliant means to reap tens or hundreds of millions in profits, and nobody can say anything about it!
Years later, when Jack Feng's Ant Financial was about to go public, countless people in the Yangtze River Delta region, centered around Shanghai, were given shares before the IPO.
If Ant Financial really goes public, Jack Feng's rise to prominence will be unparalleled, if not meteoric.
His remarks on the Bund were merely a trigger; the real reason was that he had broken a taboo.
If his Ant Financial really goes public, the entire Yangtze River Delta region will be dragged down and endorse him.
Later, when Ant Financial's IPO was halted, Jack Feng very sensibly repurchased all the shares that had been given away.
It's not that he wants to be sensible; it's that he's sensible, and those people will try to make him be sensible.
Those who used crude methods, such as the Water House gang on Hong Kong Island, attacked Jack Feng's henchman, Jin Fenglei, with knives in the streets of Hong Kong Island.
Jack Feng had to personally step in, buy back the shares, and offer them a "tea money" fee.
Back to the present, I don't quite understand this operation yet, but what Third Master and Fatty Lin said made me understand a lot.
"Third Master, is President Chen targeting you?"
I said it on purpose.
Third Master didn't say anything, but took a sip of wine with a gloomy face.
"Hengda Real Estate?"
Fatty Lin understood immediately.
"Yes!" Third Master nodded.
Daheng Real Estate was still worried about going public in the first half of the year, but with Shui Zong joining the Da D Club, Jingu and others agreed to invest and lend Shui Zong tens of billions of yuan, Daheng Real Estate got out of its predicament.
Not only has it overcome its difficulties, but with the introduction of new policies, the real estate industry is poised for rapid growth.
Everyone knows that once Daheng Real Estate goes public, it will inevitably surge forward like a wild horse.
As a result, cornerstone shares that were unwanted six months ago are now highly sought after.
Everyone knows that as long as you get a share, you can make money.
Having said that, is there anything we don't understand?
Third Master must have used this opportunity to distribute large quantities of goods to win people's hearts.
Mr. Chen came here this time to give Third Master a warning, to tell him to behave himself and stop doing those things.
As for my brother and me, it was just a coincidence, or rather, it was intentionally arranged by Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen didn't want to cause a scene, so he took the opportunity of giving the two of us a share to subtly hint at Third Master.
Third Master cannot be understood using normal human thinking.
If it were an ordinary person, being asked this question would probably make them think about what they can and cannot do.
But Third Master's family background is too illustrious. He has had a smooth life since childhood. In addition, Chen Dongang is someone who rose to power by relying on his wife. How could he possibly accept that?
I think Third Master might develop a rebellious streak; the more you forbid me from doing it, the more I'll want to do it.
Neither Fatty Lin nor I said much about it. We couldn't stop or persuade Third Master from doing whatever he wanted.
If we really wanted to offer advice, Third Master would ask, "Whose side are you two on?" and we really wouldn't know how to answer.
Unlike last time, Third Master didn't get drunk this time. After drinking with us for a while, he made an excuse to leave, leaving the two of us to drink by ourselves.
"Fatty, look at Third Master's face. It looks worse than if his father had died!"
After Third Master left, I said in a low voice.
"He's been pointed out like this twice now, and in front of his own underlings no less. Whether it's his pride or his reputation, Third Master can't hold back anymore!" Fatty Lin said.
"Whether you can hold out or not, we're going back to Hong Kong Island tomorrow. Beijing is a place of trouble, we can't stay here any longer!" I said.
"Yes, we should definitely go!" Fatty Lin nodded.
"I'm not drinking anymore. Third Master's gone, let's leave too!" I said.
"It's still early, I'll call President Yang and make an appointment!" Fatty Lin said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, you make the arrangements. Nier and I will go too. We have to see each other before we leave!" I said.
Mr. Yang has always had a rich nightlife, and when he heard that we were coming over, he readily agreed.
I met President Yang on the top floor of his headquarters building.
After arriving, I looked at Da Cheng, who was busy serving the department, and I was a little dazed. It was my first time here with President Yang, and Da Cheng was serving the department in the same way.
"Fatty, don't say I didn't take care of you. Knowing you were coming, I ordered two for you in advance!"
As soon as we got to the top floor, Yang, who was playing music loudly, came bouncing over, grabbed Lin the Fat Man, and pointed at the two girls.
"Wow, these two little girls are quite young!"
Fatty Lin's eyes lit up.
"Come here, come here!"
Mr. Yang beckoned, and the two pretty girls came over confidently.
These two, one slender and the other voluptuous, one tall and the other petite, are just right.
"This one is called Gu Na, and this one is called Tang Qi. I specifically named them for you!"
After the two beauties arrived, President Yang introduced them to Fatty Lin one by one, saying, "Let me tell you two, this is none other than the famous Taoist Master Lin Xuanjing, who is renowned throughout the entertainment industry. Taoist Master Lin is not only an advisor to Huayi Brothers, but also the gambling king's specially appointed feng shui master!"
"If you treat him well, and you two want to get into the industry, a little bit of resources he slips through his fingers will be enough for you two to live on!"
President Yang said something meaningful to the two of them.
