A group of people celebrated.
Xu Mo waved his hand generously, giving bonuses to the backbone of the company.
With the money in hand, the next step was to continue promoting extensively, increasing the investment in bicycles, aiming for market share.
They needed to reach at least sixty percent.
At the same time, they also started cooperating with banks and some internet companies, launching a no-deposit cycling model…
The company, having come this far, had in fact changed the world, exerting an enormous influence on it, and completely transforming people’s mode of transportation.
In the future, there would be more shared items, and society would become increasingly convenient.
“It’s time to step out of the country!”
With the funds in place, Xu Mo naturally had no intention of staying in the country any longer. Now, with hundreds of millions of yuan at his disposal, to increase the company’s market value, he needed to expand overseas, including countries such as South Vietnam, Britain, the United States, the Japan, and Singapore.
Xu Mo immediately formulated an ambitious plan and sent it to various executives and investors for review. Without a doubt, when Tang Lei and several investors like Zhou Shiming saw the plan, they were all taken aback.
“Change the world?”
“Yes! Change the world! We need to seize the initiative! Both domestically and internationally!”
“Let’s do it!” Tang Lei also excitedly laughed.
“Yes!”
Mobike and ofo had both been promoted in numerous countries, especially ofo, which had operated in over a dozen countries with quite good results.
Although they eventually went bankrupt due to a broken capital chain, there was no doubt that their actions were quite astonishing. At that time, shared bicycles had indeed changed the world.
With funds at his disposal, Xu Mo decided to take this step forward.
The domestic market was nearly saturated, and expanding overseas had become imminent.
…
In the capital, on the western side, stood the Xu family’s villa.
As a prominent and wealthy clan, the Xu family owned several properties in the capital, occasionally residing there for periods of time.
Due to Xu Junzhe and Xu Yuanchan attending school in the capital, and after the previous incident became public, Xie Bingyan no longer returned to the Xiahai City villa, instead choosing to live in the capital’s villa.
She had returned to the Xie family once, but did not stay for long, quickly moving out to live on her own.
Xu Wanting and Xu Deming had visited a few times, but the couple hadn’t spoken to each other; they were currently in the midst of a cold war.
Xie Bingyan’s health wasn’t good. It seemed that her emotions had been fluctuating wildly during this period, causing her to age significantly, her body deteriorating, and the crow’s feet around her eyes becoming more pronounced.
Not only that, but her white hair had increased, with almost half her head turning white, as if her vitality and spirit had been drained overnight.
When the sixth child, Xu Yuanchan, saw her in such a state, she rushed over from school to visit her. Additionally, the fifth child, Xu Shuying, took a few days off to check on her health.
In reality, there was nothing wrong with her body; it was just the impact of her emotions that left her feeling listless.
Xu Shuying saw this and, after a moment of thought, sighed, “Xu Mo is doing very well now! His company has just successfully raised funds, this time securing 1.2 billion yuan, significantly inflating his company’s market value!”
“The media says that his company is now the strongest unicorn enterprise, rising rapidly! For a freshman to achieve this in just a few months, it’s astonishing!”
“Now, the media estimates that Xu Mo’s company is valued at over 10 billion yuan, and the shares Xu Mo personally holds are worth at least 5 billion yuan!”
“The media says he’s a genius!”
Xie Bingyan’s arm trembled slightly, then she remained still, her gaze still dull, not speaking a word.
For the past few days, she hadn’t eaten much.
She had no appetite.
Seeing that Xie Bingyan had a reaction, Xu Shuying continued, “It seems Xu Mo has met a girl at school, but I don’t know if they’re dating? The girl is very outstanding and seems to treat him well!”
“I think Xu Mo might already be in a relationship!”
“Dad and Big Sister went to see him, but he kicked them out! Now he won’t see anyone!”
“I also heard that he’s planning to go abroad soon, saying he wants to expand overseas operations. Their company has decided to promote shared bicycles in Europe!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Xie Bingyan suddenly grabbed the bedsheet and slightly turned her head.
Hearing this, Xu Shuying quickly added, “But there’s no need to worry! Going abroad isn’t a big deal. They must have done their research; shared bicycles can also develop well overseas! Now is the best time for them to go international!”
Upon hearing this, Xie Bingyan’s expression calmed down considerably.
“However, the media is still quite surprised by their plan. At such a young age, they want to promote their business abroad. Some people are worried that he’s taking too big a step and might easily fail. Dad has also said that his enterprise actually carries a very high risk!”
Xu Shuying sighed, “But it’s probably also true that the greater the risk, the higher the potential reward. People online are saying that his boldness is astonishing!”
“Mom, Xu Mo wasn’t ruined by the orphanage. On the contrary, he’s always been excellent, extremely excellent. Neither we nor Big Sister can compare to him! It’s just that we never realized it before, or were unwilling to admit it.”
As she spoke, Xu Shuying’s eyes turned red.
Hearing this, Xie Bingyan’s breathing became heavier.
“Mom, you should rest for a while. I’ll check on you again this afternoon!” Seeing that Xie Bingyan wasn’t speaking and looked sad, Xu Shuying didn’t want to say much more. She picked up the bowl of rice and walked out of the room.
When she left the room, a tear slowly slid down from the corner of Xie Bingyan’s eye.
Silently…
…
“Sixth Sister, have you gone to see Xu Mo?” Xu Shuying walked out and saw Xu Yuanchan eating watermelon, so she asked.
“No, he doesn’t want to see me! Even Zhao Jing went to look for him specifically, but he wouldn’t see Zhao Jing either!” Xu Yuanchan took a bite of watermelon and then looked at her: “How’s Mom? Is she okay?”
“She’s fine!”
Zhao Jing is her boyfriend, also attending Tsinghua University. During this time, both of them have been quite busy with their studies.
“I don’t really believe Mom would do something like that! It must be Dad who was too wrong!” Xu Yuanchan took another leisurely bite of watermelon and said.
“Right now, it’s not about Dad and Mom, but about Xu Mo. Xu Mo probably found out a long time ago that Mom was targeting him, and we were all Mom’s accomplices in this. Now, no one’s words will be of any use!” Xu Shuying sighed faintly.
Xu Yuanchan glanced at her and fell silent.
This was a deadlock!
It was likely that even if Xu Mo died, he wouldn’t forgive them.
“Try to see if you can meet him at school. His company has grown significantly recently; if you can meet him, try your best to do so!” Xu Shuying looked at her and said.
“Okay!” Xu Yuanchan nodded.
…
Xu Mo allocated 100 million yuan and invested it in the business in Britain.
First, he established a branch company there, hiring executives and business personnel, and then began to deploy bicycles.
Foreigners might face some resistance in deploying bicycles there, but it didn’t matter. They would test the waters first. If it worked, great; if not, they would withdraw.
According to estimates, Britain should be quite suitable, and there should be no major issues in promoting the business there.
Xu Mo moved swiftly, launching operations in Britain, and then flew to New York City in the United States to continue the promotion there.
In New York City, he also invested 100 million yuan.
With these two locations established, the global influence of Little Monster Bicycle began to increase significantly, and the rising unicorn enterprise became even more prominent.
In the domestic market, Xu Mo reconnected with a college student named Cai Haoming, who had founded a studio called MiHoYo. Recently, they were preparing a new game called Honkai Impact 2 and were in urgent need of funding.
Xu Mo and Tang Lei’s group discussed it and decided to invest 10 million yuan, acquiring a 15% stake in MiHoYo Studio.
Investing in mobile games and game studios was part of the medium-term plan for Fenqing Capital, with an expected return on investment within three to five years.
MiHoYo Studio had actually been on Xu Mo’s radar for a while, but the investment had not been finalized until now.
Recently, Fenqing Capital had just reached out to them.
In addition to MiHoYo, Xu Mo also began to invest in companies like 37 Interactive Entertainment, Duoyi Games, and Kunlun Wanwei, seeking to gain investment returns.
He was like a capital giant with a gaping maw, crazily devouring every penny he could earn.
He gave it his all.
He preferred the saying “better late than never”.
