Venture Capital: Starting by Going All-In on A-Shares

Lin Ye, a venture capitalist, is reborn in 2008. He decides to start by going all-in on A-shares, making money while looking at investment opportunities.

“Mr. Lin, I'm selling Tsinghua and Peking University cafeteria bowls and chopsticks to the parents of high school seniors. They're 211 yuan each, or 985 yuan per set. I plan to raise funds and expand this business selling products around Tsinghua and Peking University.”

“Mr. Lin, we help foreigners apply to study in our country and charge a 25% fee. We want to raise 10 million to scale up.”

“Mr. Lin, I want to raise 3 million to make smart belts. They have a chip and a battery, and you can check the wearer's location in real time on your phone. They transmit live even when being put on or taken off, and they also have remote audio and video recording. Female entrepreneurs are placing orders like crazy.”

“Mr. Lin, I polish essays for university students in Europe and America, charging anywhere from 20 to 2,000 bucks. Once I get an order, I hire a ghostwriter in Kenya. I want to raise 10 million dollars and take over the 20-billion-dollar essay market in Europe and America.”

“Mr. Lin, our product is called Never Setting Sun. We plan to launch 57 satellites to form a constellation, each equipped with a polyester-film launch mirror that can rotate and launch at any angle. Just imagine how romantic it would be to send a love confession.”

“Mr. Lin, we provide daily rides, visits, and support for elderly people who chose not to have children. We plan to launch the ‘Have You Been Filial?’ app. We also have special offers, like a discounted son, a group-buy son, and a son at a fixed price. Our slogan is: Have You Been Filial? Filial piety makes you stronger.”
