Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled
Chapter 977 - 727 Report and Speech

Su Zi alone had the entire company on edge.

As a boss, in any company, the most important responsibilities are threefold.

These are finding money, finding people, and finding direction.

It's safe to say that if you can do these three things well, the company generally won't go wrong.

Of course, Su Zi wanted to schedule a meeting with the Dream Fund, but unfortunately, she had no one to introduce her.

In the end, she had to rely on family connections, and the Su Family was able to provide her with three hundred million for her startup.

It's impossible to say she didn't have some background and connections; at crucial moments, you have to rely on family.

This is exactly like when Tencent relied on family connections to secure investment from Xiangjiang Li.

The only regret is that Xiangjiang Li's son sold those 20% Tencent shares too early.

He sold the entire 20% of Tencent shares when he made over ten million US Dollars.

Through her family connections, Su Zi arranged to meet a vice president of the investment department at the Dream Fund.

The specific meeting time was set three days later.

The bigger the investment company, the less need for some cocktail party; she merely needed to bring the project plan and the team for the report.

Whether they will invest or not, the investment department will naturally decide.

The specific amount to invest is also determined by them.

Su Zi urgently gathered the entire company, holding meetings daily, with the sole aim of winning the battle three days later.

This day was extremely important to her.

Chen Pingsheng still picked her up and dropped her off at work as usual, only this time, Su Zi held a document in her hand and said expectantly:

"Old Chen, do you know there is another big figure with the same name as yours?"

"There are quite a few people with the same name as mine!"

"Indeed there are, but the only one truly legendary is that person in Magic City. Actually, I saw him from afar once when I was on Wall Street; he's an idol to many overseas students and is known as the Investment God of Chinese capital on Wall Street. If this project succeeds, I might get to see him."

Could he be that impressive? Chen Pingsheng shook his head.

In reality, he's just like that; if it weren't for the help of Golden Finger Grandpa, maybe he would still be an ordinary person.

People... To succeed, you need both the opportunity of the times and your own luck.

"Mr. Su, you're quite impressive yourself. Regardless, perhaps in the future, there will be an era of your own."

My era? Su Zi opened the car window slightly, and the gentle breeze blew over her delicate face, showing determination mixed with lingering doubt in her eyes.

Probably because she didn't have much confidence in the presentation three days later.

No matter how much preparation she made, it was still like this.

After all, the opponents she chose this time were indeed a bit too strong.

Far from what she could handle herself, it completely exceeded her current controllable range.

Once she decided on this project, all the company's manpower and resources would be invested in it.

Su Zi thought she'd made the right choice in hiring Chen Pingsheng as the driver.

He spoke little, but he always hit the key points, making Su Zi feel that Chen Pingsheng was also someone with a story.

However, she didn't like to ask about others' private affairs, so naturally, she didn't talk much with him.

The most they did was exchange a word or two, occasionally, in the car.

After dropping Su Zi home, Chen Pingsheng ran into Mo Yao on the way back to his neighborhood.

She was also very hopeful that Mr. Su would successfully secure investment from the Dream Fund since the company indeed offered quite good benefits.

If they couldn't secure this financing, it would mean that months of effort by the whole company, and even the biggest opportunity, would pass them by.

They would no longer have the chance to gain the qualification to compete with giants.

The entire company, probably the only one who wasn't nervous, was the leisurely Chen Pingsheng.

He would definitely accompany them to the Dream Fund as a driver in a couple of days.

The people here didn't know him, but the people at the Dream Fund certainly couldn't be unaware of him.

He wanted to hide his identity over there, but it was simply impossible.

Throughout the Dream Realization Building, anyone who had worked there for more than five years could hardly have not seen him.

After all, he used to attend the annual meeting every year and frequently came to Guangdong for inspections.

Since he was here, he might as well go with the flow.

Time flew by, and soon it was two days later.

Su Zi scheduled the Dream Fund's presentation for two in the afternoon. At that time, a vice president of the fund, along with three managers from the investment department, would jointly listen to Su Zi's financing report on the AI chat project.

This was partly because Su Zi's father had exerted some influence; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many managerial-level people, and even a president-level attendee.

Any project of a higher level would need Chu Qiuyan to decide personally.

Seeking funding for a startup isn't just about the project, but also about background and connections.

Over the past few years, although Su Zi had accomplished many things.

She had helped many investors make money, but she had never actually led a project from zero to a market value of several billion.

This is like when an HR asks an intern if they have work experience during a job interview.

The intern replies, how would I have experience if you don't give me work? It's just like that.

The reason Dream Fund could have such a high commercial status in Greater Guangdong, aside from its connections, is mainly due to its success over the past fifteen years.

It has successively achieved great success in traditional fields, short video domains, as well as in big health and AI projects.

The listed group shares it holds are at least in the billions.

It owns countless large projects that haven't gone public yet.

This wasn't achieved overnight; it's an absolute investment status built over fifteen years.

Su Zi brought along more than a dozen staff members, including Chen Pingsheng driving his Maybach, and two Toyota cars.

Dream Fund is also in Baiyun, not too far from Teng You Media's headquarters.

This area also houses An'an's Tengying Group headquarters.

These three companies together form an iron triangle alliance here.

They cover their business with capital, traffic, and various kinds of physical economies.

The headquarters building of the Dream Fund stands in a bustling commercial center if seen from outside.

The building is sixty-eight stories high, and the staff, including the management team, exceeds five thousand people.

Dream Realization does more than just investments.

It controls at least over fifty listed companies.

In Su Zi's own words, coming to this place inevitably gives a sense of looking up.

Entering this location, it's just like the words inside, turning dreams into reality.

A dream for all talents under heaven.

Altogether, three drivers accompanied them, arriving an hour and a half early.

After arriving, Su Zi began a critical review with all her staff.

Using the last hour and a half to ensure the upcoming presentation's focus was delivered within fifteen minutes without reservation.

To her, this was a more important opportunity than the first three years of entrepreneurship.

Mo Yao was quite concerned about Chen Pingsheng, specifically asking him to find a place to rest first.

As a driver, he didn't need to go up with them.

After leaving them, Chen Pingsheng walked towards the Dream Realization Building he hadn't visited in four or five years.
