After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 764 - 414: The Boss Values It_2

But this $2 billion fund is not the entirety of Jindong Venture Capital's fund. As a private equity fund company, they always invest in a project by using a small portion of their own money first, then privately raise the majority of the funds from a specific group of people, and invest together.

Generally speaking, those who can have someone like Huo Jindong voluntarily raise investment funds are never ordinary people, they are either wealthy or noble. This means these people must have the necessary status and something that attracts Huo Jindong's attention.

Now, the implication of Huo Jindong's words is clearly not to raise funds from Chen Feng for a specific project, but to directly invite him to join the company and become a shareholder.

This kind of private invitation, although not very formal, undoubtedly shows the venture capital giant's appreciation of Chen Feng.

Therefore, it wasn't just Chen Feng himself who was a bit surprised by this invitation. Tao Yaoyang and Tang Xinyi were both wide-eyed.

Particularly Tao Yaoyang, at this moment his inner feelings were not just shock but more of envy and jealousy.

Though he himself also owns a fund called Hengsen Fund, and he is the executive director of this company.

But his private equity company, Hengsen Fund, compared to Jindong Venture Capital, is like a goat to an elephant, if not an ant. The scale is vastly different.

If possible, he too wants to join Jindong Venture Capital. Unfortunately, until now, it seems Huo Jindong isn't interested in him. This time Huo Jindong attended this gathering mostly to meet Chen Feng.

The benefits he promised Tao Yaoyang were merely to let him join in on an investment project in Xiu Zhou involving a minimally invasive enterprise. The gap is too big.

Of course, Tao Yaoyang also knew that the reason Chen Feng caught Huo Jindong's attention was clearly because he somehow heard about Chen Feng's powerful connections, and then eagerly came to meet him.

Tang Xinyi also slightly guessed this. After all, ever since Fan Yigang stepped down, it has been rumored in the entertainment industry that it was Chen Feng's maneuverings behind the scenes. She now looked at Chen Feng with a different gaze.

Previously, she did not have a clear understanding of Chen Feng's influence, but now seeing how even a bigshot like Huo Jindong is eager to make his acquaintance, she realized Chen Feng's remarkable standing and unfathomable depth.

"Mr. Huo, do you mean you want me to invest in your Jindong Venture Capital?"

Chen Feng was undoubtedly calmer than Tao Yaoyang and Tang Xinyi, calmly asking in return.

Huo Jindong smiled, nodded, and said, "Yes. I am the CEO of Jindong Venture Capital, and we have five partners. I think it necessary to add one more partner who is perfect for the role, and that would be you."

Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm completely clueless when it comes to company management or investment. As I mentioned before, starting a company and making money was purely luck for me."

Huo Jindong laughed heartily and said, "I know you dislike managing companies and see your investments as a matter of luck. So, I won't force you to manage the company. I just hope that as our partner, you can lend a hand at critical times, especially when it comes to public relations tasks. If you can do that, you will be the sixth partner of Jindong Venture Capital."

Undoubtedly, Huo Jindong valued Chen Feng's "public relations capabilities."

It was so clear that Chen Feng understood it. He could tell it might be the chain reaction caused by the situation with Fan Xin and Fan Yigang that led more people to mistakenly believe he had strong support behind him, hence the idea to include him in the partnership.

But Chen Feng knew very well that he had no such strong backing. If anything, it was his remarkably good luck granted by heaven.

So, Chen Feng was quite self-aware. Even if it was a delectable cream cake handed to him for free, Chen Feng didn't want to take it.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I am currently not interested in joining your company. I have no great ambitions, nor do I wish to make enormous wealth or stir up significant moves in business. I just want a peaceful life, with enough money to spend."

Huo Jindong was momentarily stunned, then immediately laughed heartily: "Mr. Chen, you really are a sincere person. My apologies, it was inconsiderate of me. I should've realized that Mr. Chen, you are indifferent to fame and fortune, or you wouldn't have left your film company entirely in the hands of managers. This is something I must admire about you. Compared to you, I am just an ordinary person, engrossed in money affairs."

Tao Yaoyang quickly chimed in, saying, "Mr. Huo, you are wrong. As a venture capital expert like you, you are simply angels to those startup companies, the re-creators of wealth. You could even be called philanthropists."

Huo Jindong just shook his head with a smile and said nothing.

Chen Feng also realized that his straightforward refusal might be a bit disrespectful, so he thought for a while before explaining: "Mr. Huo, you may not know, but even if I wanted to become your partner, I wouldn't have much money to contribute."

Upon hearing this, Huo Jindong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "This isn't an issue. To become a partner of Jindong Venture Capital doesn't necessarily require a large financial input. You could become our partner even without investing a single penny, provided you can demonstrate appropriate value. In my opinion, Mr. Chen, your intangible value is at least worth 100 million. If you are willing to join Jindong Venture Capital, even without putting in a penny, we are willing to offer you an annual salary in the millions and a 1% annual bonus."

Chen Feng said with a smile, "Mr. Huo, you truly overestimate me. Honestly, I am not worth such a significant investment from you."

Huo Jindong also smiled, saying, "Whether or not you are worth it, I have a good sense of it. We can completely give it a try, and you'd be at no loss, right?"

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Let's just forget it. As they say, one shouldn't accept rewards without merits. I don't want to accept the benefits you're offering. Moreover, I reiterate, I am not worth such significant input from you. I am merely an ordinary person with just over a billion in assets."

The moment Chen Feng said this, the three people present were first stunned, then couldn't help but laugh.

Tang Xinyi laughed and said, "Boss Chen, if your assets exceed a billion, can you still say you are an ordinary person?"

Chen Feng rolled his eyes at her, saying, "Our country's economy is flourishing right now, especially in East Sea Province. There really are too many individuals with assets over a billion. There might not be ten thousand, but there are at least eight to nine thousand people like that. With so many billionaires, could they not be counted as ordinary people?"

Tao Yaoyang waved his hand toward Chen Feng, saying, "Alright, we're only four people here. You don't need to deliberately downplay yourself. We all know you have connections and background. Otherwise, how do you explain the situation with Fan Yigang?"

When Chen Feng heard it was indeed about this, he could only shake his head helplessly, saying, "Fan Yigang's situation really has nothing to do with me. If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do."

Upon hearing this, including Huo Jindong, they all looked at him somewhat speechlessly. They clearly didn't believe his words.
