MTL - Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era-Chapter 600 Gou Dalang is still drinking medicine (end of the book)
Chapter 600 Gou Dalang is still drinking medicine (end of the book)
The wave of the Internet has been brewing violently, but this time Tao Zhiming no longer has to worry.
The Sanyou Foundation has stabilized, the Heisei era has officially entered a stable period, and the otaku culture is already brewing.
A Gewa, a financial defense battle for Xiangdao, Tao Zhiming, the blue army, has brought two far-reaching exercises for him, and also established a real mutual trust and tacit understanding between himself and the big bosses in the sea.
Now, it's time to start another exercise on an unseen level that will last for many more years.
The ideological erosion brought by media and cultural products through new forms.
In the United States, Tao Zhiming also had a special honeymoon with another person whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
"You have become a character condemned by many people, a financial devil." The middle-aged Monica Bellucci has more charm, and her deep eyes look at Tao Zhiming, who is already a man of the world.
"Then what do you think?" Tao Zhiming looked up in disapproval, sunbathing in the early winter.
"I don't think much of it, but I think the world is just like that." The artist said, "Humanity is greedy, how can you be an exception?"
Tao Zhiming looked at her profile.
Over the years, from actresses to female directors, Monica has always wanted to express her observations and thoughts on human nature through her works.
This kind of work, in addition to the attractiveness and selling point of "stunners" when she appeared on the camera, the work itself is destined to be only a literary film with high and low profile. Winning some awards and gaining some reputation doesn't give her the satisfaction that her thoughts resonate.
To put it a bit harsher, how much real and profound knowledge can she have about the world? Without a talented enough perspective and thinking, without a rich accumulation, she can't come up with a real masterpiece.
Tao Zhiming suddenly said, "Do you want to do something that can truly go down in history and inspire people to think about human nature to the greatest extent possible?"
Monica turned to look at him curiously: "What's the matter?"
Tao Zhiming smiled, sat up and walked to the terrace, blowing the wind on this hillside villa in Hollywood.
Holding a beer bottle, he said slowly: "I'm going to open a documentary channel under BravoMedia, just like the BBC has always done."
"Documentary?" Monica was a little curious, "A documentary that goes down in history? It also stimulates people's thinking about human nature to the greatest extent possible?"
"It's mainly about scale, span, and depth." Tao Zhiming looked at her, paused and said seriously, "You can understand it as, starting from the new millennium, the history recorded with real images and sounds."
Monica still didn't understand, but what Tao Zhiming said next immediately shocked her: "The annual production cost of at least 5 billion yuan covers most countries and most classes in the world. If it is 20 years How many people's real lives can be recorded in the span? In 20 years, what kind of special new history book will this be?"
If the span is 20 years, wouldn’t that be 100 billion yuan?
Monica looked at him blankly: "Are you serious?"
"Of course." Tao Zhiming's eyes were deep, "If you find it interesting, I want you to do it."
"...The kind without a script?"
"No." The corners of Tao Zhiming's mouth curled up, "Only the selection of materials. Since it is a new form of history book, of course, it should cover as many subjects as possible. I don't do nature or technology, only contemporary humanities. Different. The lives of people from different places and different classes. For example, if I had been prepared earlier, how many people's lives would have been changed by this incident that I was called the devil? If many stories were recorded, in this process, How many things about humanity are worth thinking about?"
Monica's eyes flickered, as if moved by the grand narrative he depicted.
Tao Zhiming raised the beer bottle: "To the world! A 'big man' like me is destined to change the fate of many people, and you can record the fate of this world. There is no director, no script, and no real actors. 20 years, 1000 100 million yuan, leaving an epic of the times."
"…why spend so much money doing such a thing?"
Tao Zhiming laughed and said, "As if I'm tired of making money, let's start thinking about how to spend money interestingly."
After so many years, Monica has always felt that he is a mysterious man, with a depth of thought that ordinary people cannot match, and always have so many wild ideas.
Now, did he have another idea?
"How is it? Miss Monica." Tao Zhiming invited again, "Want to participate in this unprecedented feature documentary? The New Millennium Human Epic Project."
"…sounds very interesting, but I don't have a clue yet."
"There are many themes. It records major events of competition or cooperation between countries, records the rise and fall of a city, records a person's growth from youth to middle age, records the creation of a company to prosperity or collapse, and records the joys and sorrows of a family." Tao Zhiming said casually, "Everything is good, but in the end, it's all spliced together, it's a scene of an era at a certain moment. Maybe not comprehensive, but it takes into account the two dimensions of time and space at the same time."
He looked at Monica and stretched out his hand: "It's very romantic, isn't it? The world is dancing like this, moving towards a new future. Whether it is a cliff, abyss or heaven, there is enough material to look back at when you reach a certain step. This piece The difficulty is just how to use so much money to make our record as comprehensive as possible.”
Monica followed his dance steps and listened to him continue: "Like the huge changes that have taken place in neon in the past ten years, like the financial tsunami that happened in Asia last year and this year, like the life of Europeans after the collapse of Hongsu If there is enough recorded material, there will be many interesting clues in the future. Where will the humanity of all people in the world lead the world in the end? We don't know, but this is a real epic ."
"...Bravo!" Monica was able to mutter to herself, "This is indeed...very romantic."
"Want to do it?" Tao Zhiming's words had deep meaning.
"...Which director can refuse an investment of 100 billion yuan? It's still a one-of-a-kind work." Monica's red lips pursed, "But I'll be very tired."
"No, you will be crowned as a queen in a brand new field." Tao Zhiming bewitched in her ear, "Let the epic of the times judge us who changed the world. Heroes or devils, it depends on the times. Judgment is the only way to convict, isn't it?"
…
Hope for the new millennium is indeed beginning to spread around the world.
In 1000 AD, the world was also divided into major civilization areas with very little communication, and many places were not discovered by major dynasties.
The Liao and Song Dynasties in the east are confronting, and the Holy Roman and Byzantium in the west are fighting.
But standing on the eve of AD 2000, the world is already very delicately connected. "Globalization" and "global village" are already very popular words, the general peace has lasted for more than 50 years, and computers have set off a new round of technological revolution.
Entering the Xia Kingdom at the turn of the century, as university graduations are no longer distributed, young people are looking for more paths.
Studying abroad and working abroad are no longer as restrictive as they used to be.
The new Dongfeng Training School, which has been established for 6 years since the supplementary courses on the Yanda University campus, has ushered in a new chapter. They have a teaching building of their own, and the core selling point is that they have officially entered a new stage under the trend of the times.
From January, the government's Internet access project was officially launched. At the same time, the dominant telecom also began to split.
There are always so many people who smell the opportunity of the times.
The "dads" of a generation in the Internet age are now officially embarking on a journey.
Portals, e-commerce, social networking, games, online travel... A group of well-known Internet companies that cover almost all Internet product forms in the next 20 years were born at this point in time.
Traditional industries, facing the opportunities of the WTO era, also ushered in a period of almost crazy development.
And a net that has already been laid is already waiting quietly on Xiangdao.
The first one to get into this net is the trendy net that has been blown into the sky by the wind of the times only 2 months after its official establishment.
This is the first IT company in the mainland to introduce venture capital. Having tasted the sweetness, they have clearly aimed at the capital operation path of going public.
The best partner in front of them is naturally the same strong influence and strong strength in Xiangdao, Neon, and the United States. It is also a Xia descendant who started to work seriously because of the poor reputation now.
A high-rise building in Tsim Sha Tsui, Fragrant Island, is now named Tao.
After the turmoil last year, this property originally belonged to the Li family, because the Li family needed a lot of money to "take care of the funeral", and after Tao Zhiming "extended a helping hand", it was sold to the Tao Group at a "fair" price.
is indeed fair. After all, since the financial tsunami the year before last, the property market in Xiangdao has stopped growing for so many years, and has also fallen in great strides.
"Dong Tao!" Wang Dong from Xinchao.com shook hands with him a little excitedly, "I have long admired your name! You have always been the idol of our Xia Ren entrepreneurs!"
Tao Zhiming smiled and shook hands humbly: "I won the prize. Last year, I carried out financial operations as in the past, but I didn't expect that some people played cards according to common sense, fell into trouble, and ruined their reputation."
"Where..." Wang Dong didn't know if he should talk in depth, and the topic immediately changed, "Our Xinchao.com is now the world's largest Xiaren portal, and domestic information is still blocked, so we still need to understand the international practice. A lot of study and research. The development of Xinchao.com also needs to ask Tao Dong more for advice.”
"Xinchao.com is really good." Tao Zhiming smiled, "It's just that my current reputation in the mainland is not very good. President Wang hopes to introduce us for the second round of investment, is not afraid of being criticized?"
"This Director Tao is overthinking it." Wang Dong replied affirmatively, "The policy of developing the economy will not be shaken. The Internet is a high-tech industry, which is also strongly supported by the state. Regarding our introduction of foreign capital and rapid development abroad, leaders It is also strongly supported. Tao Dong, just looking at the fiery popularity of the Internet sector in Nasdaq, investing in Xinchao.com is definitely a grand event that will create a history and have great prospects.”
He paused, then said firmly: "We want to be the first Xiaguo Internet company listed in the United States!"
Tao Zhiming was very interested and looked at them unexpectedly, and then praised: "It's amazing, your ideas are very clear! It's only been more than 2 months since the official establishment, are you already preparing for the listing?"
"Of course! We are the first Internet company in the mainland to introduce venture capital, and our management concepts can also keep up." Wang Dong did not intend to do it all at once, and sincerely invited, "Although Xinchao.com has only been officially established, it has only been established for more than two years. months, but there have been 6 years of foundation before. If Director Tao can arrange the time, I also hope that Director Tao can go to Yanjing to see what we are doing and give some opinions. "
"You don't need to look at it." Tao Zhiming seemed to be satisfied with their spirit, "You are two years younger than me, so just call me Brother Tao. After contacting Lao Zhao, he has already done a background check. I have read it. The potential is indeed great. How much do you want for this financing?"
Wang Dong's heart suddenly moved, and then tentatively said his previous thoughts: "Our risk round was completed according to the pre-money valuation of 8.5 million yuan, and the post-money was 15 million yuan. In this round, we The pre-investment valuation is 45 million yuan, and if it wants 15 million yuan, it plans to promote the third round of financing within this year, and the goal is to go public next year!"
Tao Zhiming looked at him meaningfully: "If you plan to go public next year, it will indeed start operating this year."
"Brother Tao is familiar with the major banks in the United States. The shareholders of our venture round also recommended that Brother Tao lead the second round of endorsement. In this case, the hope of going public next year is very high."
The words don't need to be said so clearly, Tao Zhiming also knows their thinking.
Originally, Xinchao.com was a very fast-paced capital operation case, catching up with the IPO in 2000 when the Internet bubble was at its peak.
At this juncture, there is no need for such a complex return evaluation model. Just based on the concept of the first Xiaguo Internet company listed on Mi, it is very gimmicky.
Coupled with Tao Zhiming's connections and endorsements, it will only become more popular.
Although Xiangdao has broken the undefeated golden body, but after all, it is "non-war crime", Xiangfu and Xia Guo do not play cards according to common sense!
They set off a financial tsunami as a group of financial predators and swept across this large area of several countries. It is not a kind of influence.
Tao Zhiming thought about it and said: "The valuation of the investment can be discussed again, 15 million yuan is less. The value can be piled up indirectly through the financing amount. I can use the Dow Group and the New Millennium Vision Investment Fund for this. An investment of 20 million yuan, and another investment with Sun Zhengyi from Neon Softbank, plus the follow-up investment of the risk round, will make up a financing of 30 million yuan!"
Wang Dong was stunned: "Is this... a bit too much?"
He was excited and worried that the management's shares had been diluted too much.
The valuation is re-discussed, of course, it is impossible to discuss it at a high level.
Tao Zhi ordered his stance and said no more: "You guys think about it, I don't care about the operation. I haven't entered the profit period yet. After the listing, I can slowly withdraw. Since the goal is to go public first, then focus on the listing. Come up with a plan, so that everyone's expectations are all clear."
After sending them away, Zhao Yuanxi went back to his office and frowned: "Is the prospect really that good? I can't see it. Getting up so early, the involvement of capital is so deep, it is very likely to make a mess? You are only going to pass the Make a lot of money in the listing? What if the listing falls and it is too late to sell the shares?"
Tao Zhiming smiled and looked at their current equity status.
Wang Dong also made the Xiawen operating system at the beginning, and once obtained an 80% share of the domestic microcomputer Xiawen pre-installed system. Of course, now with the release of win95 and win98, this is a thing of the past.
Rao is so, after all, it is the earliest group of trend-setters in the domestic Internet industry. After obtaining a venture capital to acquire another company and formally transform it into a portal website, Wang Dong’s own shareholding has only been less than 20%.
If you want to push it to the market quickly, it is not bad that the total proportion of their founding team can exceed 10%.
I just want to be fast in everything, I just want to sprint with capital, and naturally there is a price to pay.
Tao Zhiming said lightly: "Whether it is up or down, what am I afraid of? If it goes up, I will make money, if it goes down, I might be able to buy the bottom and take the offer."
In the 2001 Internet stock market crash, Amazon’s share price fell from 100m to 9m, and the share price of IT giants like Intel evaporated by more than 80%.
Zhao Yuanxi's heart moved: "Do you want to... start from Xinchao.com to deploy Internet media in the mainland?"
"That's right." Tao Zhiming looked at him, "The country's door has been opened, and in the market-oriented competition, we won't occupy some positions, and some will naturally occupy them. Now that I have a good identity, there will be many opportunities in the future. I don't need to. Do something deliberately too early, but when the moment of turbulence comes, I have the ability to change the direction of the wind!"
Zhao Yuanxi is still in awe of the fact that he just sent the Gwa away, and even more outrageous that he could issue treasury bonds through various countries to subscribe for a part of it after he "lost" so badly in Xiangdao.
After that, only the world where everyone in Kashima was hurt was achieved.
He had obviously reached some kind of tacit understanding with Yanjing, and the two sides still trust each other.
If not, why did Yanjing make a statement later that the financial incident in Xiangdao is only a special practice in a special period, and still actively participate in international cooperation with an open mind, and welcome to invest in Yunyun…
In addition to the public, there are many people talking about it, but the official has always avoided talking about it. This is deliberately cooling down to show good for international investment.
Anyway, everyone is not at a loss, the price seems to be only borne by everyone in Zhou Kingdom and Xiangdao.
But the more so, the more terrified Zhao Yuanxi is about the next real dispute.
Next time, it should be the moment when he really takes a stand and wants to break and fight with his closest allies now, right? What is the bottom card?
Zhao Yuanxi didn't dare to ask, so she just nodded: "Since you've made up your mind, then I'll talk to them like this."
Tao Zhiming added with a smile: "There is no need to press too **** the pre-investment valuation, we must set a good example for others."
He stood in front of the window and looked towards the mainland with a smile: "I hope rich people in the mainland will come and be friends with me and trust me."
The pocket of the Zhiming Trust in Xiangdao has also been opened.
Back at the villa in Repulse Bay, one of the trump cards that Zhao Yuanxi didn't know was actually here.
Duan Lanyue looked at Tao Zhiming in awe, stood beside him and said, "Boss, the 20 billion yuan in the direction of Nasdaq has already been bought."
Tao Zhiming nodded: "The millennium bug's statement, no matter if it's true or false, don't change the strategy. Tell the masters over there to start shooting after New Year's Day, even if it continues to rise, don't worry about it, replace it with an empty order at the end of the year. "
"...They won't care about their hometown, right? If they save the market, then..." Duan Lanyue thought that you don't really fail once.
Tao Zhiming simply said, "Do as I say."
"... Boss." Duan Lanyue gritted her teeth, but said, "They also hope... to hear more about why. Although the back door of your transaction list has gained so much last time, it's not that they don't trust your ability. It’s just that after all, it’s the U.S.’s own stock market, so it’s hard to have a big crash like you said, right? What’s involved are their core interests.”
"It's just unreasonable, it's too high." Tao Zhiming said calmly, "not to mention that they didn't earn what they expected this time, and they will be even more hungry. How much capital from Asia has flowed to the United States during the interest rate hike cycle? How much European capital has flowed to the euro that just started to circulate on New Year’s Day? You need to listen to me to analyze these truths. If they are pushed up, they must return to rationality. This is the law.”
Tao Zhiming left the room to accompany his wife and children. Duan Lanyue, the "nanny", continued to take care of him here, communicating with those on the opposite side of this special network cable.
In any case, at this moment more than two years later, the money has reached nearly 150 billion yuan.
This is a ghost-like number. This amount of money accounted for 15% of Xia Guo's GDP last year.
Tao Zhiming took out the bulk of the money at the beginning, but in terms of the authority process, it was half and half.
And after Tao Zhiming came to Xiangdao this time, he told her the goal of the next stage.
After ten years, let the money exceed 1 trillion yuan. Among them, the holding ratio of U.S. Treasury bonds should be gradually increased from about 15% of the current total capital pool to 50% by means of decentralized accounts.
In other words, ten years from now, is he equivalent to wanting to personally hold 500 billion US dollars of US national debt?
As long as the direction of the money call always follows his advice, then the essence is such an effect!
Duan Lanyue's mouth became more and more dry. After she was busy with what she was going to do, she carefully shut down the computer here. She came to the living room and whispered to Tao Zhiming, "I think... I need to hire more babysitters at home. …”
It is really difficult for her to carry such a heavy responsibility alone! The main thing is... the mood is always in an inexplicable excitement and excitement, which may not be good for the body.
Tao Zhiming glanced at her lightly: "Why do you need so many babysitters?"
Duan Lanyue thinks about it too, after all, her main job is just a "password tool person" and a "microphone".
One person is enough and safer.
But when will these days end?
In the dead of night, Tao Zhiming was quietly thinking about other things.
These are things that Tao Zhiming cannot intervene.
All he can do is continue to draw cards. This time, it will take ten years or more to draw a card so hard that people like Stevenson will shiver in the future.
This is a card that, once played, may directly trigger a huge crisis that erupts from within the United States, and then spreads to the whole world.
After this card is played, of course, it is very likely that both sides will suffer.
But at least the cards are in his hand, that is the chips, so that he can do something in the future, and many people can't stop him directly.
The layout of chip manufacturing process, technology and production capacity, the layout of electronic equipment, the platform layout of Internet media, and the layout of content production, must have very strong hard power support when they want to play a role in the future.
Now, he is the devil.
In the future, he will represent justice.
As for how the times evaluated him, Tao Zhiming didn't care that much.
Who can play the game of life to such an extent?
In Idali's shipyard, the newly ordered super yachts on Lamma Island are being constructed day and night.
Neon's side, Hashimoto Taro was re-elected.
Takeo Shigemitsu of the universe, according to a change in the financial circle of the country passed down by Tao Zhiming, set his sights on Jin Yuzhong.
Xiangdao International Airport was officially completed and opened to navigation. The Oriental Film and Television City at Kai Tak Airport is under construction. The Dow Group has brought a lot of job opportunities and is "inviting people to buy again".
The 77-year-old king is getting older, and Prince Hassar is actively planning to break the tradition of royal succession rules.
Prince Levin received a call from Tao Zhiming and was very interested in participating in the listing of Xinchao.com in the United States.
In mid-May, Tao Zhiming returned to Tokyo and saw her with red eyes in Lin Qiyu's villa.
"When you're sad, just cry." His voice was unusually gentle and also low.
Lin Qiyu just wiped his eyes, then looked at him and said, "We must succeed!"
"Yes." Tao Zhiming nodded heavily, "We will definitely succeed!"
He just held out his hand.
Lin Qiyu also reached out his hand and firmly shook it with him.
There is pure firmness in each other's eyes.

“…”
"I've spent most of my life by his side, and he still thinks I'm boring as a person, and he even thinks things like that are boring. But in fact, he gave me a very interesting life."
"He is not the one who shaped the era, nor was he the one who ended the era. He has always been the one who played with the era."
"A person who thinks it's exciting to be undercover, and he's also very motivated to hear you scold him, saying that he will use money to buy you into the Taoquaquan group in the future."
"A person who puts so many people who were once invincible in the palm of his hand."
"The last words he said to me were full of regrets."
"He said, 2077 disappointed me too much, but unfortunately I haven't been to the world of immortality, and I haven't had enough."
"I never understood why his last words were this."
