Change your mindset
These second-generation rich kids were not the types he had previously understood them to be, who only knew how to eat, drink, and make merry.
Basically, these people all had very unique insights into economics and business.
He had been listening for a while, but hadn't heard a single project that would definitely cause him to lose money.
Moreover, some of these ideas were just trivial matters; even if they resulted in losses, it wouldn't have much of an impact on the current profitable state of the Mingri Group.
"President Chen, among us, you have the highest achievements. Why don't you offer some advice? If there are any profitable projects, we can cooperate and make money together."
Chen Cong turned his head to look at Chen Mo, saying with an expectant face.
The others also fixed their gazes on Chen Mo, all carrying a mix of expectation and curiosity.
Among this Group of people, everyone lived under the influence of their fathers.
Therefore, they were eager to break through this influence and create some achievements of their own to show them.
However, the most successful people in front of them were Chen Cong and Du Ziteng.
And Chen Cong and Du Ziteng's success was also because of this Chen Mo before them, so they were also very expectant about what good insights this President Chen of the Mingri Group might have.
Hearing Chen Cong's words, Chen Mo was speechless in his heart. I still wanted to hear you guys talk about projects that lose money.
Why did you make me start talking about making money?
I don't want to make money, I only want to…
Chen Mo froze for a moment; he realized he had entered a cognitive bias.
He only wanted the Mingri Group to lose money, not for himself to lose money.
If that was the case, he could completely start a business in his own name.
The money earned that way, wouldn't that be his own?
Previously, he couldn't do this entirely because his personal assets were insufficient, unable to support him in starting a business, and starting a business also carried great risks.
But now it was different; these second-generation rich kids in front of him could help him solve the capital issue.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo looked at the Group of second-generation rich kids in front of him, and his eyes gradually lit up. These people might all be his cash cows in the future.
"I do have a project."
"President Chen, please speak."
Upon hearing this, Chen Cong's face lit up with joy.
The others were also full of curiosity.
Chen Mo did not answer immediately, but looked seriously at Chen Cong.
"I was originally planning to do this project myself, but since Chen Cong and Du Ziteng have always had a very good cooperation with the Mingri Group, out of respect for Chen Cong and Du Ziteng, it's not impossible for me to bring it out. Let's just consider it as making friends."
"But before I disclose this project, I need to clarify a few points first."
"First, are you all sincerely wanting to start a business? If you are just here to watch the fun, you can leave now; this is a commercial secret."
"Second, since this is starting a business, I will not guarantee that this project will definitely make money, so those who hold the mindset that it will definitely make money can also leave."
"Third, this project requires a certain amount of capital support. You must be mentally prepared; if the funds are insufficient in the end, you will face the situation of losses and bankruptcy."
"Fourth, I will not invest money into this project, but I will provide the overall concept for the project, as well as the problems it will face in the future, so I want 20 percent of the shares in this project."
"Those are my requirements. If you feel you can accept them, then stay."
Chen Mo looked at the dozen or so second-generation rich kids in front of him. He only had over one million in personal assets, so it was naturally impossible for him to invest money into it.
Moreover, there was a high probability that the project would face losses in the mid-term.
Therefore, he threw out the potential problems first to see if these people could accept them.
If this project succeeded, then he wouldn't have to do anything in the future and could obtain a 20 percent profit share. Thinking about it, that was not bad.
"President Chen, you all heard what was just said. If you don't accept it, you can leave; don't interfere with our entrepreneurship."
Chen Cong said with a serious tone.
As Chen Cong's voice fell, a few people turned and left directly.
In the end, out of the dozen or so people, including Chen Cong and Du Ziteng, 6 people remained.
"President Chen, let's talk over here."
Chen Cong led the way.
Chen Mo brought Shen Rou along behind them.
Shen Rou had come with those two female companions, who were also second-generation rich kids, and those two female companions were also among the remaining six people.
The Group entered a Room.
"President Chen, what exactly is the project?"
After everyone was seated, Chen Cong asked impatiently.
Chen Mo looked at the six people in front of him and spoke calmly.
"The shared bicycle project."
Shared bicycles were something he had thought of when he was equipping Mingri Group employees with transportation tools.
In his past life, when shared bicycles first came out, they were extremely popular.
But with the popularity, many shared bicycle brands appeared simultaneously, leading to intense internal competition among peers, coupled with imperfect regulations.
Shared bicycle enterprises basically all entered a phase of losing money.
He had previously thought about using the shared bicycle project to lose money, and under the circumstances of internal competition among peers, it would indeed enter a state of loss.
And this loss was just filtering out those industries that lacked sufficient strength.
But with the current strength of the Mingri Group, it would be very simple to support shared bicycles, but as long as the shared bicycles survived, they would face a profitable stage.
The profits at that time would definitely have a huge impact on his settlement.
So after some thought, he gave up on the shared bicycle project.
However, now giving it to a few second-generation rich kids to play around with was definitely feasible.
If it failed, he wouldn't lose money.
If it succeeded, he would have 20 percent of the shares, and he could just lie back and collect money in the future.
This was money he earned himself, and it wouldn't enter the System Funds.
Hmm! He found another way to fill his Little Vault.
"Shared bicycles!"
Everyone in the Room, upon hearing Chen Mo's words, showed expressions of confusion.
They didn't understand what shared bicycles meant at all.
"President Chen, could you explain what exactly shared bicycles mean?"
Du Ziteng asked with confusion.
Chen Mo looked at the confused crowd in the Room, and only then did he realize that in this world, the sharing economy had not yet appeared.
If he just said "shared bicycles," these people definitely wouldn't understand.
Organizing his words slightly, he began to explain.
"You can understand it as us producing a batch of bicycles, then placing them outside, letting people ride them, and finally charging them based on how long they ride."
Everyone, upon hearing Chen Mo's explanation, all nodded slightly, understanding the meaning of shared bicycles.
It was equivalent to renting bicycles.
It was just more convenient and freer, directly placing the bikes outside.
"But President Chen, how exactly should this be implemented? How should we charge? Moreover, if vehicles are placed outside at will, it's hard to guarantee the safety of the vehicles, right?"
Qin Meng asked with confusion.
There were really too many people in this world who were greedy for petty gains; she could be certain that if bicycles were placed outside, there would definitely be people who would claim them as their own.
