Chapter 1411 Circle (Part 2)
"I'll seal the highest room for internal use of the club only." Seeing everyone's enthusiasm for planning, Guo Tailai also took the initiative to chime in: "Special service personnel will ensure that the content will not be leaked when everyone is chatting."
This is what it should mean, and everyone nodded.
Of course, the club needs to have a nominal chairman. Mr. Lawrence is the oldest and most qualified, and he became the first club chairman without any objection. However, he also joked that he just put on a hat. The club has no specific regulations, and there are no activities that must be participated in. Everyone is free to come and go. Participate if you catch up, and next time if you don’t. Anyway, it will take a long time.
Generally speaking, it is relatively loose, and the gatherings are more casual. Everyone here is the boss of at least one group company, and some even have more than one. No matter how good the office environment is when Guo Tai comes here, it is impossible for Guo Tai to come here without incident. In the future, everyone who feels tired and needs to recharge can come here by himself, or you can make an appointment with friends.
That's what I said, but the things everyone talked about here today have already made everyone feel that they have gained a lot. Go back in the evening and sort it out. The direction of work and development for next year can basically be determined. In the future, everyone will definitely come here to get together, either around the Christmas holiday, or around the Chinese New Year, to recuperate their bodies and brainstorm with top figures at the same time.
"G, does our club need a unique membership card?" Paul asked with a smile.
"No need." Guo Tailai shook his head: "Everyone's face is the most unique membership card in the world. The waiters in this room will be fixed, they only recognize your face, no membership card is needed, just swipe your face Can."
Everyone is very satisfied with the sentence that their face is the unique membership card in the world. As for the last sentence, just brush your face, it is also a very trendy vocabulary, which makes everyone find it interesting to listen to. If you swipe your card, you will naturally swipe your face, which is normal!
"Could it be that one day we will be scanned in front of a machine and be recognized?" Ms. Versace asked with a smile.
"It is not impossible for image recognition technology to develop to a certain stage in the future." Guo Tailai also replied with a smile: "It is the same as fingerprint recognition. If you don't believe me, you can ask Bill. He is an expert in this field."
"It's possible." Bill, as the boss of Microsoft, has always been very concerned about the development trend in this area, and his eyes lit up when he heard this: "This is actually a very good research direction, and it can be used in many occasions in the future."
"At the door of the house, companies, governments, banks, even security checks, customs, etc." Guo Tailai added for him: "As long as there is a door, it can be used wherever identification is required, and this is a fairly large market. "
This sentence made many people's eyes light up. After careful consideration, it seems that what Guo Tai said is really possible! If it works, it will be a huge market that can reach all over the world. Of course, a big market in the future also means a good investment direction.
See, that's the benefit of the Treasure Ship Club. Everyone has not done anything yet, because of a membership card and member identification problem, how interesting is it to talk about a vast market investment direction with one mouth?
"Or, how about we set up a joint venture investment company and hire professional investment managers to implement some of the investment directions we talked about?" Mr. Gu Lian can be said to be the youngest among everyone present except Guo Tailai. He suggested with a smile: "If we diversify our investment, it may become a competitive relationship in the end. When we meet again, no one dares to share ideas and ideas. Isn't this contrary to our original intention?"
"That makes sense." Superman nodded first. Everyone present is capable of investing independently, and if it really turns into a competitive relationship, no one really dares to come up with any good ideas.
"It can be considered!" Buffett is focused on investing, and he agrees with this kind of thing. Anyway, everyone has money, and investment is professional, so there is no problem in doing so.
"Wait!" Guo Tailai suddenly remembered a joke that was not a joke. In the future, 30 students from a certain president's class crowdfunded to open a restaurant, but it ended up closing down. Now that more than a dozen people have crowdfunded and started an investment company, will the same mistakes be repeated? After all, three monks have no water to drink, how can a dozen monks be so harmonious?
Hearing Guo Tailai express his concerns, everyone laughed.
"Don't worry, we are an investment company, and we have already talked about the future investment direction." Buffett said with a smile: "As long as there is a professional investment manager responsible for implementing our ideas. Either find a suitable company to invest in, Either find suitable talents to give him start-up capital to invest, and we are not involved in specific operations. We can solve the problem that everyone will point fingers at you in this room, but after setting the direction, we will not change it. We don’t ask about specific investment matters, and professional managers will handle them.”
"Okay!" Guo Tai saw that everyone was nodding, so he had no opinion. Anyway, several big companies he wants to invest in have already bought shares, and the rest doesn't matter, the worst is just losing some of the investment money. Guo Tailai can still afford to pay hundreds of millions of dollars.
The next step is to determine the investment. After some discussion, everyone started to make a small fuss with 50 million U.S. dollars. Although a few people didn't come, Lawrence will also be responsible for contacting those people. After obtaining the consent, at most next month, everyone's funds are in place, and the investment company can be established and start operating. Professional managers are easy to find, and everyone will be able to send a financial supervisor to the investment company at that time.
"In this case, for the convenience of communication, I will install a video conferencing system here." Guo Tailai added: "At that time, if you can't come, you can also video chat. Well, for safety, I will make a separate one for each of you. Satellite dedicated line. Forget it, I will launch three synchronous communication satellites alone, just for our members to communicate with each other!"
Anyway, Mr. Ambani gave one billion US dollars, plus the previous care expenses of Mr. Lawrence and others, Guo Tailai now has close to two billion US dollars in cash on hand. What are you doing with it? It is also convenient to launch a few satellites and do some things by yourself in the future, instead of renting other people's lines to live. This business is handed over to the country including the launch of the satellite belt, which is also a strong support for the country.
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, and then extended their thumbs to Guo Tailai in unison in a very tacit understanding.
