Chapter 119 is too dry!
Sunday, August 16th.
Li Yuan came to the company in the morning. Yu Yue didn't rest at all and kept paying attention to the subscription of shares in the background.
Because there is no way to determine the quota on Saturday and Sunday, so...
He was afraid that someone would cancel their subscription.
Fortunately, not many people withdraw their subscriptions, and the overall subscription funds have been increasing.
Seeing Li Yuan coming over, Yu Yue immediately followed him and said, "Mr. Li, the total subscription funds are now around 3 billion, but the shares confirmed last Friday were only around 1.2 billion."
"Yes, I know. Let's just deposit our company's 1 billion into the account tomorrow, and trade 2.3 billion on the first day."
There are still more than 100 million shares left.
"OK."
The company's money has already been in the account. There is no need to confirm the shares and you can enter the market at any time.
Yu Yue suddenly thought of something and continued, "Boss Li, yesterday I invited some colleagues from Jiangzhou to come over for a meeting on behalf of the company, but everyone said they had something else to do and declined... Is this..."
Yu Yue was very puzzled. The company would officially start operations tomorrow, so today was supposed to be the opening day.
As a result, there was not a single customer.
Aren’t these people too unsupportive?
My boss is gentle and polite, he has never offended anyone and has always been very low-key. This kind of thing should not have happened.
Li Yuan didn't really care and said, "It's OK if you don't come. We don't need any guests. I'll treat you to lunch at noon. Is Manager Guo here?"
"Yes, I am. I have been in my office all the time."
"That's fine. It's almost time. Call her and let's go out."
"Okay!"
Yu Yue went to find Guo Meng immediately.
In fact, Li Yuan specially booked two tables at Chenji today...
Shit, there's not a single customer.
I'll call all the company security guards over to join the numbers later.
Just when Li Yuan was about to call some people from Jiutian Media over, a voice suddenly came from the company's front desk.
Li Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and found two women standing there, each holding a flower basket in their hands.
Li Yuan came over, and Jiang Yiling was the first to present the flower basket and said, "Congratulations, and I wish Qingtian Capital a grand opening!"
Li Yuan took the flower basket with a smile and said, "Thank you, Teacher Jiang, for coming. Please take a seat."
Chen Jie, who was standing by, said: "Being ugly means you have no human rights. You do the same thing but are completely ignored."
"Haha, Sister Chen, it is a great honor for Qingtian Capital to be able to come here. How could we forget you? Please come too."
Li Yuan took the flower basket from Chen Jie and made the same invitation gesture.
He didn't know why Chen Jie came here today. It seemed that the two sides had no communication since they exchanged business cards last time.
At the same time, Li Yuan took a look at the flower basket, which was sent in her own name.
At the fish restaurant that day, he saw clearly that Chen Jie always listened to Yu Chenguang. How could it be that she didn't send it in Yu Chenguang's name?
So what is her purpose of coming here today?
Jiang Yiling didn't seem to know Chen Jie. When he saw such a charming woman with such charming eyes and eyebrows, he always felt that something was wrong.
She originally had a cold personality, but her disguise was broken recently, so she acted more self-centered in front of Li Yuan.
At this time, Yu Yue also brought Guo Meng out.
Li Yuan immediately introduced: "Sister Chen, Teacher Jiang, let me introduce you, this is Yu Yue, the general manager of Sky Capital, and Guo Meng, the fund manager."
Chen Jie is very comfortable with this kind of occasion.
Yu Yue also knew that Li Yuan’s friend must be no ordinary person, so he immediately found an opportunity to hand over his business card.
Jiang Yiling seemed to be lacking interest and had no interest in their business cards.
After Li Yuan and a few others sat in the reception room and chatted for a while, someone else came to the front desk.
The person who came was a stranger.
Yu Yue hurried over to greet him, but the other party just left a flower basket and left.
Li Yuan also came over and looked at the signature on the flower basket.
Yu Yue was instantly shocked. "Boss, it's Wen Sihai from Oriental Lithium. You are actually related to such a big shot."
Li Yuan: “…”
It has nothing to do with anything.
He knew who Wen Sihai was. Oriental Lithium Energy had not yet been listed in China. It was a company that dealt in lithium carbonate. The company had been established a long time ago. Because it had not been listed, although it was unclear how much its market value was, the company's total assets should be more than 20 billion.
Wen Sihai is the major shareholder, holding more than 30% of the shares, and is considered a giant in Jiangzhou.
Countless capitals want to push Oriental Lithium Energy to go public. Once such a company goes public, the premium may be doubled, and many people can make money from it.
Li Yuan immediately thought of Wen Yuxian.
"Take it, I'll contact you later."
"good."
Yu Yue hurriedly placed Wen Sihai's flower basket in the most conspicuous place.
Li Yuan really wanted to remind him that he should put Jiang Yuanqiao's in the most conspicuous position...
But Jiang Yiling didn't care anyway, so he didn't bother to say anything.
He called Wen Yuxian.
"Junior, thank you for the flower basket you sent today. Would you like to have lunch together?"
Soon, Wen Yuxian replied: "Senior, did you make a mistake? I didn't send any flower baskets."
"The signature is Wen Sihai, so it should have something to do with you, right?"
"Ah? This... is my dad... I'm sorry, Senior Ha, I didn't expect my dad would hide it from me."
"Haha, who would have thought that this school girl is the little princess of Oriental Lithium?"
Before, Wen Yuxian always said that her family was average and she wanted to work part-time to earn some living expenses.
"Hey, no, no, that's my dad's money. It has nothing to do with me. I'm just a poor guy. Senior, do you have a company opening today?"
"Well, come to Chen's to meet at 12 noon?"
"Well... I'm not in Jiangzhou these few days. Can I come back in a couple of days? I'll treat you to a meal when I come back."
"OK."
…
In a large flat with a river view in the center of Jiangzhou city, Wen Yuxian was sitting with a middle-aged man with a big belly.
The man heard the content of the call, and after hanging up, he asked: "Yuxian, didn't you always want to have a good chat with Li Yuan? Why don't you go over?"
Wen Yuxian said, "Dad, what can we talk about today even if we go? I can't find out his background, and don't expect him to tell the truth. I might as well find an excuse and wait for him to invite me in a few days."
The man said, "But you just said you wanted to invite him."
"Hehe, I just said that. Today he knows my identity. No matter how reserved he is, he will remember this. Don't worry, he will definitely take the initiative to invite me in a few days."
"Tsk tsk, as soon as he invites you to dinner, he's going to fall for your trick..."
Wen Sihai is completely confident about his daughter.
She never fights a battle she is not sure of winning.
Wen Yuxian said angrily, "Dad, please don't say such harsh words, okay? Senior Li Yuan and I just want to get to know each other. He made me a big internet celebrity with millions of fans, so it's only right that I support him."
"But you only earn 2,000 yuan a month."
"Now it has risen to 5,000, and I have also received a promotion from Sky Capital. After a year, I have made 1.5 million before tax, and my monthly income has exceeded 100,000."
"With your current number of fans, you are fully capable of making one million per month."
Wen Sihai didn't quite understand what his daughter was thinking.
Wen Yuxian said, "It doesn't matter how much money you make, it only matters whether there are risks. Oriental Lithium Energy can also leverage. The price of lithium carbonate has risen a lot recently, and it may rise further in the future. Dad, why don't you continue to borrow money to expand the scale?"
Wen Sihai: “…”
Why not expand the scale? Isn't it because of the risk?
When a big company reaches this stage, it must proceed steadily and cautiously.
He even opened short positions in the futures market as a price hedge.
For example, if his company's lithium carbonate cost is RMB 10,000 per ton and the current market price is RMB 14,000 per ton, he will choose to open a short order at RMB 13,000 per ton.
Even if the price of lithium carbonate collapses, the short position can help him earn back some of the money.
If the price goes up, you will just make less money.
The price rose to 15,000 per ton, the short position lost 2,000, and the company's own products made 5,000, which is equivalent to 3,000 per ton.
The price dropped to 8,000 per ton, the short position made a profit of 5,000, and the company's products lost 2,000, which still meant a profit of 3,000 per ton.
Only by always ensuring that you earn limited profits and preventing the risks brought by black swans can the company survive for a long time.
Expanding the scale means having to leverage on both sides, which will not only put a lot of financial pressure on the company, but also may cause problems in the company's internal structure.
Wen Sihai said: "But sooner or later you will be forced to accept some bad promotions, because the current media companies are unlikely to have a conscience, and the cake of conventional promotion is very limited. The network supervision is not strict. Jiutian Media will start to make money in a side way sooner or later."
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Anyway, I don't expect to make a living as an internet celebrity. I think that if a company can survive by earning money conscientiously, then the boss of the company must be a very strong person who is very confident in himself. Such a person must have principles to be able to resist the huge temptation of making money in an unconventional way."
"Haha, do you think highly of Li Yuan?"
"No, I'm still young and have plenty of room for trial and error. I can make mistakes anyway. Anyway, my dad will back me up."
"Then you better be careful and don't deceive them too much, or they might get angry and do anything."
"Dad, you are wronging me again. How could I be that kind of person..."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll go out for a while and you can play at home by yourself."
Wen Sihai actually has a headache.
He didn't have any expectations for his daughter, he just wanted her to grow up happily.
Who knows what the result will be, slowly it will become abnormal.
Who is a normal girl who would read the Book of Changes or Thick Black every day?
It's a bit too distorted, and even my own thinking can't keep up.
But she is really good at stock trading.
Last year, the stock market was average, but she was still able to make more than 20 million yuan with her original capital of less than 6 million yuan.
That account has exceeded 30 million this year.
Although I didn’t make much money, this year is considered a bear market.
Being able to make money means that your thinking is correct.
After her father left, Wen Yuxian happily edited a message and sent it to Li Yuan.
"Senior, you can't be angry about this. I really didn't hide my identity on purpose. It's mainly because my dad asked me to try to make money on my own, and I don't have much ability, so I can only cling to you."
Sent successfully.
She believes that it is human nature to like to be recognized.
I revealed my identity and it was obvious that I was not after his money, so he had no reason to reject me.
…
After eating at Chen Ji until two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Jie sat next to Li Yuan. Li Yuan was waiting for Chen Jie to tell him the purpose of her visit.
As a result, Chen Jie did not mention it at all and only talked about some irrelevant topics.
Li Yuan felt very strange until Chen Jie left after dinner.
"Um... Li Yuan, I've been drinking and can't drive. Can you give me a ride?"
Jiang Yiling's voice came over.
Li Yuan said: "I drank too."
"Ah? I saw you were drinking juice..."
"You drank a little when you went out halfway."
“Is this true or false?”
"How about you try it?"
"Well... forget it. I'll take a taxi back to school first. But I sober up slowly. How about you take me back in the evening?"
"Coincidentally, I also sober up slowly."
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he got directly into the car arranged by the company.
He finally understood that Jiang Yiling just wanted to get something for free from him.
She is not willing to pay at all and just wants to get a boyfriend who can deal with her parents for free.
It just so happens that he is a person who doesn't want to do business at a loss, so no need to talk!
Under Jiang Yiling's indignant gaze, he got in the car and left.
On the way, he called Jiang Yuanqiao.
"Thank you for your support today, old man. Otherwise, the company would be in a cold reception."
Jiang Yuanqiao asked in confusion: "Why? Didn't Lao Hou and the others send anything over?"
"Well... I guess they don't know. After all, we were only planning to invite a few of our peers. Since we're eating from the same pot, it's inevitable that we'll see each other. But in the end, no one came."
"Haha, it must be you who has offended someone."
"I swear to God, I have always believed in peace and harmony."
"Don't you want to have a son peacefully?"
Li Yuan: “…”
"You are so direct."
"How about it? Do you want to consider it? If you agree, someone will come to your house tomorrow to apologize to you."
Although many people know the relationship between Li Yuan and Jiang Yuanqiao, the grandson-in-law is a family member and his status is completely different.
Some people dare to offend Li Yuan, but no one dares to offend Jiang Yuanqiao openly, even though he is just a retired old man.
"How should I put it... Jiang Yiling is pretty good. I can let go of some of the unpleasantness from before. But I really don't like girls who are blindly confident. I have a stubborn temper, and I can't be persuaded by anyone. In the future, I want to focus more on work, rather than on coaxing girls' tempers."
Li Yuan has already said it very tactfully.
It doesn't mean that girl is bad, it's just that he doesn't deserve her.
Anyway, up to now, he felt that Zhou Ranran was the one who best suited his taste.
Shu Yanlin is almost there. Others are blindly confident, but she is blindly unconfident.
"Yiling has lived alone since she was a child. Please be tolerant of her. Her world is relatively simple and she will still be able to adapt in the future. Don't you think she is more real now than before?"
"Well, today at the dinner table I was just jealous, just being jealous!"
It was too dry, Li Yuan really couldn't get in.
"Doesn't this just reflect her true inner thoughts?"
"But I don't have time to act with her, so how can I slowly develop feelings with her?"
"It's normal for girls to be slow to warm up."
Jiang Yuanqiao still didn't give up.
"Then I'll tell you the truth. I have no plans to get married in this life. Please don't make things difficult for your granddaughter."
Jiang Yiling only occupies the fourth and first of the four words "human relations and worldly affairs".
Shu Yanlin was at least still a good person, which made him feel that chatting with her occasionally was not in vain.
