184: Wang Lin's tiny network of connections!

Upon hearing his boss ask this question, Sun Chao immediately said, "Boss, how should I put this?"

"The attitude of ByteDance Company is very subtle. Previously, they didn't have much interest in us, believing our company lacked the resources they wanted."

"But later, I don't know what happened, but their attitude took a huge turn. It's as if they really want us to go over there."

Hearing this, Wang Lin frowned.

This unsolicited courtesy usually hides a sinister motive.

Wang Lin said, "Go and inquire further. You must take this ByteDance Company financing round seriously. If we can secure this financing, your year-end bonus this year will be doubled."

Upon hearing this, Sun Chao was inwardly astonished.

The boss actually cared so much about this ByteDance Company.

It just created Todays Headlines; it didn't feel like anything too high-tech.

In Sun Chao's opinion, whether it was DJI or Snow King, they both felt more impressive than it.

All he could say was that he still couldn't understand the boss's level of thinking.

"I understand, Boss. I'll go do it right away!"

Sitting in his office, Wang Lin listened as Old Lu from the finance department detailed the company's recent expenditures and revenue.

Everything was under control.

With this profit and loss statement, Wang Lin could now show off his track record from this period to those Private Equity Fund bosses.

Currently.

The number of Public Fund in Wang Lin's hands was countless. He didn't even know how many Public Fund he had issued himself, but looking at the scale, it was quite good.

Some investors had set their sights solely on the Junlin Finance brand.

This was a good thing; it showed that the influence of the Junlin All-Round Mixed Series Public Fund, which he had worked so hard to create, was finally emerging.

The remaining time would be spent consolidating this influence.

Wang Lin's main focus was still on Private Equity Fund.

There were three aspects in total.

The first aspect was his alma mater, Finance University, with 300 million.

The second aspect was the subsequent one from Old Ma, with 1 billion.

The third aspect was the Social Security and Pension funds he finally received after establishing his reputation, totaling 10 billion.

For Wang Lin, these three aspects already covered all the career and networking efforts he had made in the early stages.

As for Finance University, needless to say, now that Wang Lin had money this year, he had personally added another 200 million to help build a library.

One should do more of these things that were both for the public good and would leave a lasting legacy.

For Wang Lin, it was just a number less on his asset account.

200 million could be easily earned from the stock market.

But giving it back to Finance University was something that could truly leave a name for a lifetime.

Junlin Library!

Listen to that name; it was simple, imposing, and classy.

There was even a special introduction written at the entrance: This library was donated by Wang Lin, a senior student of Finance University, Class of X!

Spending a small sum of 200 million could accomplish a lifelong achievement.

It was worth it!!

He could even gain the closest relationship with Finance University.

These were things money couldn't buy.

Only with his current status as a university student could he receive so many honors.

An enrolled student and a distinguished alumnus were two different concepts!

This move by Wang Lin was definitely a win-win for both him and Principal Wang.

It was the same for Old Ma's side.

The 1 billion investment had now earned back several times more.

A person of Old Ma's status naturally wouldn't lack this money, but the meaning it represented was different.

What did this indicate?

It indicated that Old Ma's investment vision was also very precise.

Moreover, with such a bridge of cooperation between the two sides, everything else would be easy to handle.

Wang Lin could even use this Private Equity Fund to talk with Old Ma about investing in ByteDance Company.

Currently, ByteDance Company's Series C financing not only lacked large capital but also brand empowerment, product endorsement, strategic guidance, and so on.

These were things that the resources behind Old Ma could provide.

One must know that in this year of 2014, Old Ma was definitely a super influential figure.

Things like the establishment and development of Alibaba, the emergence of Alipay, the acquisition of Yahoo China, and the establishment of Cainiao Network.

These were all driven by Old Ma.

Furthermore, Wang Lin also knew that in September of this year, Alibaba would go public in the US, which would be the largest IPO in the history of the US Stock Market.

The result would be that Old Ma was about to become chinas richest man and the richest man in Asia.

In front of such a big shot, for a nobody like Wang Lin to be able to have a connection with him was, in some respects, something to be proud of.

Finally, there was the 10 billion in Social Security and Pension funds, which had also achieved the feat of doubling in such a short time.

There was no need to say too much about this aspect.

The power contained within Social Security and Pension was incomparable to the first two aspects.

After organizing all the data.

Wang Lin personally invited the big shots from these three parties to come to Junlin Finance for a talk.

...

Weekend.

It was a beautiful day with bright sunshine.

Junlin Finance welcomed several heavy-hitting big shots.

Principal Wang of Finance University, the two directors from Social Security and Pension, and Old Ma himself.

To be honest, ordinary people would be astonished if they saw just one of these three parties coming over.

Let alone the fact that people from all three parties were coming over at the same time in private.

It was simply terrifying.

Truth be told, as the representatives from the three parties sat in the conference room of Junlin Finance, looking at one another, they were all shocked.

They hadn't expected that the circle of friends of this guy, Wang Lin, had become so extensive now.

Principal Wang knew the people from the other two parties, so he greeted them first: "Director Zhou, Director Wu, I was right, wasn't I? This kid Wang Lin is absolutely reliable!!"

"You two just wait and see today. If there wasn't big news, this kid wouldn't have called us over!!"

"And to think Mr. Ma from Alibaba is here too. I didn't expect Wang Lin to be able to invite even you!!"

Old Ma also hadn't expected Wang Lin's network of relationships to be so profound.

The two directors of Social Security and Pension for an entire province had actually both come.

This was giving Wang Lin so much face.

Although Old Ma's social status was indeed quite good now, in some respects, he really wasn't as effective as the signboards of those two.

In short, all three were tough nuts to crack.

Wang Lin was naturally the same.

This was a concrete manifestation of "birds of a feather flock together."

Upon learning that the big shots from the three parties had arrived, Wang Lin also hurried over.

"All four big shots have arrived. I have been somewhat negligent!!"

As Wang Lin apologized, he trotted over with the materials in his hand.

Seeing Wang Lin like this, Principal Wang laughed and said, "You kid, so clumsy. I heard you're already a big boss worth tens of billions; be a bit more steady. You are the pillar of our Finance University now!!"

Director Zhou and Director Wu also looked at Wang Lin with a smile. This was the financial genius who came out of their Yu Province, and now they were going to test his results for this quarter.
