May 7th.
At dawn.
Peach Blossom Spring Villa.
In the bedroom, Xiao Luo was watching TV attentively.
The real-time image on the screen was the scene of Leicester City celebrating the championship in the English Premier League.
Countless fans in the stadium cheered for Leicester City!
As their rival Tottenham Hotspur drew with Chelsea 2:2.
Leicester City had won the 2015 - 2016 Premier League title two rounds ahead of schedule, creating a legend in the sports world!
Before the start of the season.
This team, whose goal was to avoid relegation, had shone brilliantly this season.
Leicester City's top scorer, Jimmy Vardy, was still in the amateur league five years ago.
This season's Premier League player of the season, Riad Mahres, started in the seventh level of the French league.
Captain Wes Morgan did not get a taste of the top leagues until he was 30 years old.
The manager, Ranieri, moved to the multi-national league and never had a chance to win the league title.
No one expected this.
Leicester City would become the new champion in the English Premier League!
On the Internet.
All the major sports media outlets had already released their press releases in real time.
" Leicester City's Premier League Champion: The Most Classic Moment in 21st Century Football!"》
" Commoners 'Team Reappears, Small Figures Reappear, Leicester City Creates Myth!》
" Leicester City Club's first Premier League title in its 132 years of existence!》
" An unprecedented miracle, the legend of Leicester City has become the most beautiful chapter in the sports world!》
Leicester City has rekindled people's love for sports, proving that the championship is not just for the rich!》
……
Xiao Luo couldn't help but smile when he saw the news.
Just last year.
Before the start of the 2015 - 2016 Premier League.
He had bet two million dollars on seven top betting companies, betting on Leicester City to win the championship.
At that time, the odds of Leicester City winning the championship were 1 to 5000.
In other words.
As long as Leicester City won.
Xiao Luo would win 10 billion USD in the lottery!
Now, Leicester City had successfully won the championship.
His 10 billion USD would be transferred to his account very soon.
This also allowed Xiao Luo to finally heave a sigh of relief.
Recently.
He was under a lot of pressure.
On the one hand, the Xiao family had outstanding performance in various fields.
Xiao Muyu was promoted to a major with a second-class merit.
Cai Wanning led the White Cloud Studio and became famous in the art world.
Actor Xiao Zhiming was nominated for Best Actor at the Hundred Flowers Awards.
The basketball coach, Xiao Congdian, became the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team.
They were also members of the Xiao family.
There was also competition within the clan.
Xiao Luo had become a top-notch tycoon at a young age. He was also a reincarnator and a system bound person.
Naturally, he did not wish for the limelight to be overshadowed by others.
On the other hand.
The White Cloud Group under Xiao Luo's name had already reached a critical juncture in its financing.
Unfortunately, he did not have enough funds on hand.
It was all good now.
He had the 10 billion USD.
The financial crisis was instantly solved!
……
Three days later.
Xiao Luo's account received the prize money.
After the tax deduction of 20%.
He had 8 billion USD in his account.
After he had sufficient funds.
The first thing he did was to go to White Cloud Investment Company.
In the chairman's office.
Yang Yu, the CEO of the company, began to report.
"President Xiao, the company's investment this year has been gratifying.
Domestically, we have invested in dozens of companies such as Shein, Yixian E-commerce, Vipkid, carboncloud intelligence, Minglue Data, Orange, GrowingIOs, etc.
In the international investment field.
The company spent $100 million to acquire a 25% stake in Insacart's Series A round of funding.
The company spent 50 million USD to become an angel investor in Revolut and received 20% of the shares.
The company spent $100 million to acquire 25% of the shares in a series A round of financing from checkout.com.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Xiao Luo nodded in satisfaction.
Insacart was a fresh grocery delivery service in the United States with a future peak valuation of 39 billion US dollars.
Revolut was an online payment service in the Eagle Country with a future peak valuation of 33 billion USD.
Check Out. com was an internet finance company in the Eagle Country with a future peak valuation of 40 billion USD.
In a domestic company.
The investment he was most satisfied with was SheIn.
This company was a cross-border e-commerce platform that focused on the development, production, and sales of women's fast fashion. Its future peak valuation was 100 billion US dollars.
Everything else aside.
Just by owning the shares of these four companies, Baiyun Investment would be able to make a lot of money in the future!
"President Xiao, after investing in these companies, there's not much money left in the company's account." Yang Yu said with a worried expression.”
"Don't worry!"
Xiao Luo smiled and said,"I'll immediately inject 7 billion USD into the company."”
"That's great!"
Yang Yu sounded excited.
Compared to ordinary companies.
A venture capital firm invested in the future, and the returns were usually a few years later.
If the company did not have any liquid funds, it would be very passive.
With this 7 billion USD.
Bai Yun's investment funds would be unprecedentedly abundant!
"President Yang, the company will be busy with three things next.
First, White Cloud Technology has decided to start the A round of financing. You can contact them and use 2 billion USD to obtain 20% of their shares.
"Second, Baiyun has decided to start the A round of financing. You can contact them and use 2 billion USD to obtain 20% of their shares.
"Third, Baiyun E-Commerce has decided to start the A round of financing. You can contact them and use 1 billion USD to obtain 20% of their shares.”
Hearing this.
Yang Yu's eyes lit up.
President Xiao's company has decided to raise funds?
This was great news!
Usually.
After the company's products were finalized and began normal operations, it would have a complete and detailed business and profit model. After it had a certain status and reputation in the industry, it would be able to start the first round of funding.
White Cloud Group's industries had long been equipped with the strength to raise A rounds of funding.
However, President Xiao had no plans to raise funds.
Now, Baiyun Group was seeking to get listed in the future.
This was undoubtedly good news for White Cloud Investment.
As for the amount of money that the three companies had raised.
This was also in line with the outside world's valuation of them.
White Cloud Technology's latest valuation was 10 billion USD.
The latest valuation of Bai Yun Car was 10 billion USD.
Baiyun E-Commerce, latest valuation of 5 billion USD.
Spending 5 billion USD to get shares of these three companies was actually very cost-effective!
"President Xiao, I'll give the order now!" Yang Yu said excitedly.”
After saying that, she turned and left.
……
In the office.
Xiao Luo looked at Yang Yu's departing back and took a deep breath.
He was one of the richest men in China.
However, if White Cloud Technology, White Cloud E-Commerce, and White Cloud Car wanted to become companies with a market value of hundreds of billions or even hundreds of billions, they had to raise funds.
Several White Cloud enterprises were independent companies.
From a business perspective.
White Cloud Investment could control White Cloud Technology, White Cloud Car, and White Cloud E-Commerce.
After the A round of funding.
The White Cloud Group under his name would be able to take off rapidly!
As for the follow-up Series B and Series C funding.
Xiao Luo wasn't worried about funding.
A month later.
The 2016 UEFA European Championship was about to begin.
As a reborn person.
He knew very well that Grape Sprout would win the championship.
Spinach Company's odds for Grape Sprout to win the championship were 1:17.
Xiao Luo had already decided.
He wanted to take advantage of Spinach Company!
If everything went well.
The UEFA European Championship could bring him tens of billions of dollars in revenue.
At that time, the follow-up financing of the White Cloud Group would no longer have to worry about funds!
