Chapter 1067: You Have to Be Willing to Spend Money

Dong Chenxin felt as if she might be knocked unconscious by a giant cake called happiness.

Three hundred million US dollars!

A full three hundred million US dollars!

"You didn't rob a bank with a gun, did you?" Speechless, Dong Chenxin looked at Zhao Fusheng and teased with a smile.

Of course she knew Zhao Fusheng wouldn't do that, but getting such a large loan from Pangu Bank all at once still surprised her.

"Rob a bank..." Zhao Fusheng waved his hand and said to Dong Chenxin, "From now on, all our overseas funds will be placed in Pangu Bank."

Dong Chenxin frowned slightly, then nodded: "I understand."

She could naturally see the implication; in other words, because of this loan cooperation, Pangu Bank had become Zhao Fusheng's formal partner.

"After the group is established, I plan to invite Mr. Chen Youhan to become an independent director of the company," Zhao Fusheng said to Dong Chenxin.

Dong Chenxin nodded: "That's indeed the right thing to do."

Inviting important partners to join the company's board of directors is a common practice for many large group companies.

"Don't touch this money for now; I have a use for it." After giving Dong Chenxin some instructions, Zhao Fusheng went home.

...

...

"Such a large loan." After finishing her overseas filming and returning home, the first thing Fan Baobao heard was that Zhao Fusheng had borrowed three hundred million US dollars from Pangu Bank, and she was completely thrown off.

"What, think it's too much?" Zhao Fusheng looked at Fan Baobao and asked with a smile.

Fan Baobao rolled her eyes: "What do you think? That's three hundred million, and in US dollars. When will you earn enough to pay it back?"

Clearly, in her worldview, money borrowed from a bank must eventually be repaid, because it's not your own money.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "This is just the beginning. I expect I'll borrow even more funds from this bank in the future."

This was true; after all, if you want to grow your business, this is inevitable.

"Borrow more?" Fan Baobao was speechless for a long time. In her worldview, Zhao Fusheng's approach was simply insane.

But she had no way to deal with it; after all, Zhao Fusheng had been very successful in business so far, and with her limited business experience, she couldn't convince him.

For now, she could only let Zhao Fusheng do as he pleased. After all, he was smarter than her and would consider things more comprehensively. If they really encountered an insurmountable problem, they would face it together.

With this realization, Fan Baobao actually became much calmer.

"Why aren't you talking?" Zhao Fusheng looked at Fan Baobao and asked with a smile.

"What is there to say?" Fan Baobao glared at him and said irritably, "Just go ahead and stir things up."

After saying this, she walked toward the bedroom on her own.

When she reached the door, she stopped, turned around, and said to Zhao Fusheng, "Don't let the family know about this."

Zhao Fusheng was startled, then nodded.

He understood what Fan Baobao meant. If the family found out about such a big matter, they would definitely worry about him, since it was no small sum.

Most importantly, no one except him knew what his current assets would become in the future.

In other words, the situation now was that if he failed, he would likely face insolvency. Zhao Fusheng could even imagine how his family would react if they learned he had borrowed three hundred million US dollars at once.

Therefore, Zhao Fusheng fully agreed with Fan Baobao's words.

"Don't worry, I know," Zhao Fusheng smiled at Fan Baobao and nodded. "You don't need to worry either. They lent me the money because I have the capital as collateral. NetEase's stock has already risen to over sixty US dollars per share. How much do you think my shares are worth?"

Fan Baobao's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "Of course it's true. Would I lie to you?"

Hearing this news, Fan Baobao's hanging heart relaxed a little. After all, as Zhao Fusheng said, if the value of his shares in NetEase and Tencent Technology continued to grow at the current rate, it would eventually exceed three hundred million US dollars, so there would be no need to worry about insolvency.

Watching Fan Baobao enter the bedroom, Zhao Fusheng shook his head helplessly. He naturally didn't need to explain to her that stock prices can rise and fall; that would only make her more worried.

...

...

"The promotion of Kaixin.com needs to be increased." The next day, Zhao Fusheng met with Dong Guoxiang.

Hearing Zhao Fusheng's words, Dong Guoxiang hesitated, then said, "On one hand, there's the funding issue; on the other hand, we've already sold the navigation page to Baidu, so the current promotion intensity naturally can't be what it was before."

Zhao Fusheng understood what he meant, but there was no way around it. Since the navigation page had been sold, they had lost an important promotional channel.

Not to mention Dong Guoxiang, even Zhao Fusheng himself had no better solution.

After a moment of thought, Zhao Fusheng said, "Alright, I'll talk to Dong Chenxin later and increase your investment. Don't be afraid to spend money; we need to build our reputation as quickly as possible."

Kaixin.com's development was actually quite good already. Compared to other similar websites, Dong Guoxiang's development strategy was basically sound.

But Zhao Fusheng always felt that compared to the nationwide craze of stealing vegetables, Kaixin.com's development was still a bit slow.

"Wouldn't that be too hasty?" Dong Guoxiang asked hesitantly.

Zhao Fusheng laughed: "You, don't worry about that. Do you believe that in three to five years, not as many people will enjoy playing on this kind of website?"

Dong Guoxiang was taken aback. In his view, the prospects for this type of social networking site were enormous; how could it possibly become as neglected as Zhao Fusheng described?

"Trust me, social networking sites will be replaced by more convenient and simple ways of making friends, but at least within five years, the market will still be pretty good," Zhao Fusheng smiled and said to Dong Guoxiang.

Actually, he couldn't remember the exact timeline, but Zhao Fusheng clearly remembered that after the era of smartphones arrived, people were more accustomed to using apps like Momo and WeChat to make friends rather than logging into sites like Kaixin.com.

Dong Guoxiang was a bit dizzy from Zhao Fusheng's words, but fortunately, his greatest strength was following orders. Since the boss Zhao Fusheng had assigned the task, as a subordinate, he naturally had to do his best to complete it.

Zhao Fusheng didn't say anything more. After Dong Guoxiang left, he called Dong Chenxin and asked her to increase investment in Kaixin.com recently.
