The birth of his two children finally allowed Qin Chuan to put his mind at ease, turning all his energy towards his business.
It was now the autumn of 2000, with winter fast approaching.
The entire year of 2000 had been the worst for many entrepreneurs, especially internet giants, with their stock prices plummeting by eighty or even ninety percent.
Countless internet companies went bankrupt, their leaders driven to suicide. Even those that narrowly survived were merely limping along.
Amidst a global economic downturn, other industries were also deeply affected.
Innumerable great entrepreneurs saw their assets shrink drastically, the rich becoming the poor.
However, for Qin Chuan, this year had been one of immense harvest.
This year, he had conquered the futures market with the bug of a reborn person, earning a full billion. Yes, you heard that right, a full billion!
Furthermore, his Xiaomi factory, against the backdrop of the market, had also moved against the trend, raking in profits. 'Mi fans' were spread across the country, their numbers astounding.
In addition to this, our Boss Qin had also "resolved" the love triangle and welcomed two sons.
Watching his sons grow day by day, becoming more and more adorable, Boss Qin seemed to have undergone a transformation. Upon returning home, he would always dote on his sons, holding them tightly, neglecting even his wives.
This scene evoked a sense of profound emotion in everyone who witnessed it. It was true that a man changed significantly once he became a father. If Qin Chuan could maintain this behavior and refrain from seeking affection elsewhere, he would truly be an excellent man.
Even Li Ya and Yang Zimo were surprised by Qin Chuan's change. The two women simultaneously mused that apart from the legalities of their relationship, there was truly nothing to fault this man on.
In October, shortly after the National Day holiday.
A convoy of luxury cars appeared on a wide main road in Pengcheng.
Leading the procession was a Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase, valued at tens of millions, followed by a line of pristine Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Inside the Rolls-Royce Phantom, beneath a starlit ceiling, sat a distinguished-looking man in a suit, his expression calm. With sharp eyebrows and piercing eyes, his aura was so powerful that one instinctively felt a deep sense of reverence upon seeing him.
"Boss, Tencent called again just now, asking where we are."
Zheng Chengdao, sitting beside Qin Chuan, spoke in a low voice.
As Qin Chuan's business continued to flourish, his loyal "old brothers" around him saw their wealth multiply. For instance, Zheng Chengdao had become Qin Chuan's bodyguard and secretary.
Although a bit older, Zheng Chengdao was exceptionally reliable in his work. To outsiders, Boss Qin received even more praise.
Look at Qin Chuan, now so wealthy, yet he didn't even have a pretty female secretary, only men around him. Such a boss was truly rare, his character impeccable.
Others, like Yao Dong and Bai Xiaoguang, had also become core figures in the group.
Qin Chuan's team had arrived in Pengcheng to offer "timely assistance" to the renowned Tencent company.
Tencent was currently facing its most difficult and trying times, making it the perfect moment to strike.
This was a day Qin Chuan had long awaited.
In his plan, not only Tencent, but also Alibaba was at a similar juncture.
After finishing here, he would quickly head to Suhang to meet with Alibaba's boss.
These two bosses surnamed Ma had long been like plump pieces of meat on Qin Chuan's chopping board, and he had been waiting for such an opportunity.
Tencent, Alibaba, and JD.com – these three future internet giants. Qin Chuan had already invested in Liu Dongqiang's JD.com, acquiring thirty percent equity for two million yuan. Now, only these two remained.
Soon, the convoy arrived at the entrance of Tencent's company.
Here, Qin Chuan finally met our Boss Ma. Don't mistake this as a casual remark; at Qin Chuan's current status, calling Boss Ma "Little Ma" was absolutely fitting.
After all, this was not twenty years later, but the year 2000. Tencent was far from developed, and its so-called headquarters was merely a run-down factory complex with a total staff of only two hundred.
For the arrival of the famous Boss Qin, Ma Teng-hua, along with his entire staff, was immensely excited. In their eyes, it was as if their ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke for such a small company to be noticed by Qin Chuan. They felt as if they had been struck by a pie from the sky.
Who in China didn't know Qin Chuan's name now? In just one year, the Xiaomi factory's value had skyrocketed, with a market capitalization of at least a billion yuan, a true legend.
Moreover, Qin Chuan also held the title of "Stock God," having earned a full billion in the futures market within a few months. All of this had made Qin Chuan's fame resound throughout the country, making him an idol in the hearts of countless fans.
For Qin Chuan to take an interest in a small company like Tencent was undeniably their good fortune.
After Ma Teng-hua gave Qin Chuan's professional team a general tour of their small enterprise, during lunch, Qin Chuan waved his hand and announced an initial investment of ten million yuan, with further investment to follow based on circumstances.
However, the condition was for thirty percent equity in Tencent.
Hearing Qin Chuan casually mention a ten-million-yuan investment, everyone at Tencent was ecstatic. With this ten million, their company would undoubtedly overcome this downturn and no longer have to worry about funding.
Many old pieces of equipment and servers could be replaced with new ones, a true upgrade. Everyone was eager to work, ready to go all out.
The outcome was beyond doubt, and the two parties quickly reached an agreement.
The entire process, including the meal, took less than three hours, and the cooperation was sealed.
Watching Qin Chuan's suave figure depart in his car, all the executives at Tencent were deeply impressed.
It was no wonder he was so successful at such a young age. His decisive approach to business was unmatched. A ten-million-yuan investment was decided upon in just two or three hours.
Three days later, Qin Chuan's team appeared in the Suhang region, where they met the founder of Alibaba, Ma Yun.
Qin Chuan, with his equally decisive methods, impressed Ma Yun, securing thirty percent equity for ten million yuan.
After completing these tasks, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he no longer needed to strive for anything in this life and could spend his days traveling the world with his wife and children.
Others would work for him, generating a continuous stream of income.
"That's not right. Both these companies were acquired for ten million for thirty percent equity, but it only cost two million for Liu Dongqiang's JD.com. It seems unfair to Brother Qiang."
Suddenly, Qin Chuan remembered something and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
He considered finding Liu Dongqiang for a meal the next time he was in Beijing and perhaps even making up the eighty million yuan.
After all, he wasn't short of money now, but eighty million yuan would be a crucial sum for Liu Dongqiang, and with it, he believed JD.com would develop even faster.
Perhaps he could enjoy the returns on investment ahead of schedule...
His rebirth was a bug in this era. If a small flap of a butterfly's wings could cause such a huge stir, Qin Chuan felt that his actions could also influence the destinies of these companies.
The only thing that gave Qin Chuan a headache was that Liu Dongqiang had Shang Honglian. This girl was very stubborn and had no intention of letting him go. Even though she knew he had a girlfriend, she had actively asked to meet him several times in Beijing, acting as if she had him all figured out.
Given the terrifying aftermath of the love triangle not long ago, Qin Chuan was scared. He no longer dared to proactively provoke women.
Now that the love triangle was gradually subsiding, why not take Shang Honglian in as well?
After all, although Boss Qin had many women – Li Ya, Yang Zimo, Ye Meiyun, and Alisa, a total of four.
But since the love triangle had erupted, and with Li Ya and Yang Zimo having given birth, their resentment had not yet subsided. To this day, neither of them allowed the scoundrel to touch them.
Ye Meiyun was too far away, unable to quench his immediate thirst. The only one who could quench his thirst was Alisa.
For a scoundrel, this was clearly not enough. So, after a period of quiet, he began to harbor some subtle thoughts again...
However, with the experience he had gained, Boss Qin needed to make thorough preparations before taking action.
Oh, and Fan Bingbing, who had become a big star, had also been contacting him frequently recently. Her intentions were quite obvious, making Qin Chuan conflicted about whether to pursue her...
