319: Xiong Xiaoge's pretentious act has been exposed!

To speak of Wang Lin's current status, his friends—excluding those he made early on before he became successful—all have a net worth of no less than one billion.

Anyone with less than that simply hasn't made a name for themselves.

When these people learned that Brother Lin was holding an annual meeting this year and had invited them, these big shots were surprisingly very excited.

"This is Brother Lin!! He actually invited us to attend the Junlin Group annual meeting!?"

The annual meeting of the company belonging to the world's wealthiest big shot—this is bound to be worth seeing.

At that very moment, the big shots scattered all over the world, from various circles, all pushed aside their plans around that date.

They specifically cleared their schedules for Brother Lin.

The first to be stirred up was the venture capital circle.

This circle is actually quite small.

Especially those who could be invited by Wang Lin—they are the top-tier existences in the industry.

As for the nobodies in the industry, Wang Lin wouldn't even have the chance to know them.

Whenever he makes a move, it starts in the hundreds of millions; small-time venture capitalists simply don't have that kind of capital.

Take Neil Shen from Sequoia, for instance; he is already an old friend of Wang Lin and they have crossed paths in multiple investment projects.

Of course, these "multiple investment projects" refer to smaller ones; the big ones, like DJI, are personally controlled by Wang Lin.

Neil Shen looked at the text message on his phone, a smile flashing across his lips: "Is this guy so insincere when inviting people, just sending a text message?"

"But this kid has earned quite a lot in the last two years. I should go over and see exactly how he plans to hold this annual meeting, see what he has to say, and what he plans to do next year."

His feelings toward Wang Lin are very complex.

This kid has overturned his understanding of financial projects.

Therefore, Neil Shen will not pass up any opportunity to understand him.

William Xiong from IDG, Zhang Lei from Hillhouse Capital, and many other big shots also received the text message.

They shared the same thoughts as Neil Shen; not only were they happy that Wang Lin had invited them, but they also wanted to see what Wang Lin had to say.

Venture capital requires accurate and timely information.

Some of these big shots who stand at the top of the industry like to show off.

Just like William Xiong, he took a screenshot of the text message and sent it to one of his industry group chats.

William Xiong: "I'm going to attend Brother Lin's annual meeting in a while. Brothers, what do you think I should prepare?"

As soon as he spoke, the group chat exploded.

You have to know that apart from some top big shots, the group also included many new-generation investors and up-and-coming talents in early investment tracks.

They didn't have the qualifications to come into contact with a figure like Wang Lin.

So, when they saw this, they were extremely envious.

"President Xiong is amazing!!"

"As expected of a big shot from IDG, to actually receive an invitation from Brother Lin!!"

"So envious. If I could receive a text message like this, I'd jump for joy."

"I don't even care about receiving an invitation anymore; I just want to see what that phone number with the QR code is. If I could have that, it would be great!!"

"The Junlin Group annual meeting, so envious!"

"I'm envious too. This is a chance to see Brother Lin in person!!"

William Xiong saw so many people flattering him and envying him, and he himself was very pleased.

After all, while he is quite capable in the industry, he definitely doesn't have as much influence as Brother Lin.

Being able to show off using Brother Lin's name now is not bad at all.

But William Xiong was actually a bit puzzled. By logic, something like an annual meeting should warrant an invitation letter.

Why send a text message?

Could it be that the other party is being too grand?

Is that why he used a private number to send the text message?! After all, a private number is definitely better than an official invitation letter. It represents respect.

But the next moment, Neil Shen from Sequoia Capital also posted a screenshot in the group: "Um... let me interrupt. Is there a possibility that the kid, Brother Lin, just sent this to everyone in bulk?"

One sentence, one image. It instantly silenced the previously lively group.

What was going on?

President Shen also had this text message?

And it looked like these weren't sent from two phones; the images were different, and the times were different.

Immediately after, Zhang Lei from Hillhouse Capital also said with a smile: "It seems it really was a bulk message. That kid, Brother Lin, is really lazy and wants to save trouble. But I'm still going to go take a look."

Another person had come out to verify it. Another industry big shot.

William Xiong was speechless.

Damn it.

He came out to show off, only to get slapped in the face.

Looking at the silence in the group, he felt quite awkward: "Uh..."

He really didn't know what to say.

He could only laugh it off: "Then let's all go together. I'm sure Brother Lin will welcome everyone."

This sentence made the few big shots watching the group burst into laughter.
