Chapter 161 Climbing a Mountain
After the market closed, Li Yuan was busy in the office for a while. He left the company only after seeing the net value on Friday.
2.9638 (+4.41%)
This is the sixth week of official trading. There will be only four trading days next week, and the week after that will be a week off.
If we can hold on for another four trading days, it will be almost like the Chinese New Year.
My daily routine when I get home is to write articles for Wen Yuxian, and then check the progress of Jiutian Media and the traffic of the signed internet celebrities.
In this era of wild growth of short video platforms, as long as you don’t do too badly, you will eventually survive and gain unexpected rewards.
Recently, the company has thirteen accounts with over one million followers, and almost every signed internet celebrity has a company that wants to poach him.
After all, with millions of fans, the ability to monetize is still very good at this time.
It’s a pity that Li Yuan’s goal is not these, so those people who want to poach him for a few million or ten or twenty million yuan don’t give them a chance.
Li Yuan’s request was very simple: either follow the contract or use the penalty model.
For those with millions of fans, the penalty for breach of contract basically starts at 100 million.
Or they can wait until the five- or ten-year contracts of those internet celebrities expire, and by that time, Jiutian Media will have the priority to renew the contract.
There are very few five-year contracts, and most are ten-year contracts.
When he saw that a female anchor named "Xiao Yu Fishing" appeared in Liu Hao's four consecutive videos, he sent a message to Liu Hao.
"Mouse, are you in love?"
Liu Hao replied quickly, "Yes, we have been talking for a few days."
"To what extent?"
"ah?"
"Have you done everything you need to do?"
“…I did it.”
"That's all right."
Li Yuan was worried that the other party wanted to get something for free.
Now it seems that they have indeed worked hard, so these are what they deserve.
Li Yuan didn't think it was a pity if someone sacrificed his own future for the sake of greed for someone else's body.
He knew about fishing in his previous life. A fish girl got more than two million fans.
Around seven in the evening, Jiang Yiling sent him a video to show him the dinner, and she also asked Zhou Juan and Li Wanhe to take a video with her and sent it to Li Yuan.
You can tell from the video that my dad is now very clean.
Although the furniture in the house was not very good, it was very clean. My father also shaved and changed into new clothes.
In the past, he would wear clothes until they had holes in them, and he would still wash them and save them for when he worked.
Moreover, the house is always kept simply tidy, and the dead corners are not cleaned until the New Year's Day cleaning.
Lifestyle habits are difficult to change, and few people are willing to change for others.
The last time the two sides met for the first time, my parents didn't do this either. They just did the best they could to save face.
Today, clearly there are more factors involved.
This is a two-way journey apart from love.
Just the second side.
All we can say is that there was something about Jiang Yiling that was worthy of their complete recognition the second time they met him.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, Jiang Yiling sent another photo. The photo showed a jade hairpin that looked very old.
"Honey, Mom suddenly gave me this, do you know what it is?"
Looking at Jiang Yiling's caption, Li Yuan said, "It's an old thing passed down from my family. It's not worth much, but don't break it. Just put it secretly by the bed before you leave."
Are you kidding? That's a family inheritance.
His family didn't have much background, and the jade hairpin was given to his mother by his grandmother when she got married. It is said that when his grandmother got married, she also got this jade hairpin from his great-grandmother.
Now she gave it to Jiang Yiling again. The meaning was self-evident.
Zhou Juan probably never thought in her life that she, a rural woman, could get along so well with her son and his girlfriend .
After all, there are many real cases around her that make her feel like she is dreaming.
Better than getting along with a biological daughter.
Jiang Yiling: "But mom told me to keep it safe."
"No, have you paid the money for changing your statement? Why did you start calling me mom?"
Just as Li Yuan finished speaking, Jiang Yiling sent him another photo, showing several neatly arranged stacks of money.
"Yes, I gave it to you. It's 30,000 yuan as a fee for changing your statement."
Li Yuan: “…”
He had never seen a family pay 30,000 yuan as a fee for changing their name.
Moreover, this matter has inexplicably entered the fast lane. Clearly, there is no clue about the baby's fate, but why do the parents seem to have even chosen a name for the child?
"Teacher Jiang, I'm not old enough to get married yet."
"Then come on, and reach the age quickly."
"So you didn't take what I said before seriously, did you?"
"What?"
Li Yuan: “…”
Just leave it to fate. It will take me more than two years to get married anyway.
Maybe Jiang Yiling was just in a momentary mood, and gradually he would become dissatisfied with the current situation.
There is really nothing good about my parents that can last forever.
It was almost twelve o'clock, and Li Yuan took a rest without waiting for any news from Shu Yanlin.
He has an appointment with Chen Jie tomorrow morning.
It’s actually a good thing that I haven’t received any news from Shu Yanlin, as it means she is not prepared to trouble me.
Shen Tianfu’s fate is basically the same as the fate of most private equity firms.
Even someone like Liu Shangyuan couldn't resist, let alone Shen Tianfu.
Even if his ability is a hundred times stronger than Shen Tianfu's, he is ultimately just a tool for others to make money. When the tool is no longer useful or there is a problem with the tool itself, it will either be destroyed or replaced.
It's basically destroyed.
After all, truly rich people would not be willing to let others use their things.
After becoming a private equity firm, your network will be restricted due to your identity as an investor, and it is basically impossible to get out of the shadow of the investor.
Almost everything about Shen Tianfu was controlled by investors. As for how he escaped in the end, no one knows yet. It is not surprising that he used some special means.
Money is something that, even if someone can make money continuously, it is impossible to always hold on to it.
On the surface, the more money you have, the more important your status is. But in reality, the more money you can distribute, the more important your status is.
Li Yuan can lead hundreds of thousands of people to earn hundreds of billions together, which is completely different from him earning hundreds of billions alone.
If you do not distribute your wealth and only think about pursuing the ultimate in your own wealth, sooner or later you will be crushed by your own money.
Money can carry you, but it can also capsize you.
This is why Li Yuan wants to do public offering, and the money earned from public offering is not small at all.
The scale of private equity cannot exceed 100 billion yuan, and only when the scale of public equity exceeds 100 billion yuan can it be considered to have officially started.
…
Laoying Mountain is a small hill with an altitude of more than 600 meters on the outskirts of Jiangzhou City.
Many people like to come here to play. The climbing is not difficult. It only takes two or three hours to go back and forth.
Li Yuan got up at half past five and drove here. It was exactly six o'clock.
In late September, the morning wind was already a little chilly, as if the temperature had been deliberately adjusted, like a dog waiting for the arrival of the first autumn rain.
Li Yuan's clothes were all bought for him by Zhou Ranran before she left. It was a set of sportswear that fit him well.
Chen Jie and Yu Chenguang had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Li Yuan coming, Chen Jie took the initiative to walk over and help Li Yuan open the car door.
Chen Jie, dressed in a white sportswear, fully showed off her figure.
She looked beautiful in a skirt before, but in fact, beautiful clothes seem a bit superfluous on this figure.
"Thank you, Sister Chen."
After Li Yuan got off the car, he felt flattered.
Chen Jie said softly, "I should be the one thanking you. If your fans knew that I disturbed your hard-earned rest time, they would probably send me razor blades."
Li Yuan quickly said, "No, no, no, after my fans saw Sister Chen, who would care about me anymore?"
Most of his fans are male, and male fans are generally superficial. In fact, very few boys will pay for the person they like.
If Li Yuan starts live streaming, there will definitely be a lot of people watching. But if he does live streaming to sell goods, unless the products are particularly cost-effective, he won’t be able to sell many.
At this time, Yu Chenguang also came over. Chen Jie glanced at him and said, "Look at him. No wonder Li Yuan is so popular with girls. You have never said such things to me."
In this way, even if Yu Chenguang was pulled to his side, there wouldn't be too much gap between him and Li Yuan.
Yu Chenguang quickly admitted it and said, "Then I will ask Li Yuan for advice later."
Li Yuan smiled, "Sister Chen, everyone can say such words as "flattering". The more ordinary the relationship is, the more people will praise others. After all, you went to elementary school, so you can use those words to praise others. The relationship between you and Brother Yu has long passed the stage of using compliments to maintain the relationship. The more compliments you give, the more perfunctory it means, right?"
“…”
“…”
Yu Chenguang didn't expect Li Yuan to refuse so straightforwardly.
In name, it is to rescue yourself and speak for yourself.
Actually, he was talking about himself.
After all, he was very polite to Chen Jie from the beginning. In his own words, he was polite because they were not familiar with each other.
Because our relationship is average, I can only praise others.
Chen Jie seemed not to have heard the other meaning, and said with a smile: "This is only the second time you and Chen Guang have met, and you actually spoke for him? Is this the tacit understanding between you men?"
“Haha, the only tacit understanding between men and women is that between men and women. Brother Yu already has Sister Chen, so how can he have tacit understanding with me?”
Li Yuan hadn't finished speaking yet.
If there is any tacit understanding, that tacit understanding is Chen Jie.
He knew that today was definitely not an ordinary climb.
This became even more certain when he saw only two people.
If the purpose was just to make friends, many people from their circle would come.
Fewer people means more private conversations.
There's no way he'll take any private work, so it's better to make things clear at the beginning.
Then the three of them walked slowly up the mountain together, chatting about random things as they walked. Chen Jie had already thoughtfully prepared some water and was carrying it in her hands.
The air in the morning is very good, which is a rare enjoyment even for Chen Jie. She can't get up so early on weekdays, and she doesn't have the leisure time to do so.
It's just like that for Li Yuan. After all, the air in his hometown is much better than here.
More than an hour later, all three of them reached the top of the mountain.
Yu Chenguang's physical fitness was unexpectedly good, he didn't even sweat much.
Instead, the youngest one, Li Yuan, was sweating all over.
Yu Chenguang took the water handed over by Chen Jie and handed it to Li Yuan.
"Thank you, Brother Yu."
Li Yuan panted and opened the water and took two sips.
Yu Chenguang said: "Speaking of which, Yu Yue, the general manager of Qingtian Capital, and I are a distant relative. He had always told me to buy Qingtian Mixed Small and Medium Caps, saying that the company's CEO was a very powerful person. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but now I am furious."
Li Yuan said in surprise: "It turns out that Brother Yu has this kind of relationship with Manager Yu of the company."
"Yes, he told me that Sky Capital is considering going overseas. Is it true?"
Li Yuan said: "I do have this idea, but it is difficult to apply for QDII funds. Even if you apply, there is not much quota."
As to whether it was Yu Yue who said it, it doesn’t matter .
The important thing is that Li Yuan knew Yu Chenguang’s intention.
It seems like he wants to invest in himself.
Yu Chenguang said, "This is easy to talk about. With your relationship with Chen Jie, I, as your brother, will also help you. How much credit do you need?"
Li Yuan said in surprise: "Can it really be obtained?"
This is no small matter. He needs $500 million to get started, which is not something most people can afford.
With such a big bait in the morning light, the thing you want to get must be big.
It’s just like fishing. No matter whether you can catch fish or not, as long as you throw out ten dollars worth of bait, your target is definitely the fish worth twenty or even two hundred dollars.
No one ever throws a few bags of bait, their goal is just to catch a few small shrimps.
"I can't say for sure, but we have these levels of relationships. Even if it's just for Yu Yue's better development, I will do my best."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "It seems that I have found a treasure. Yu Yue can bring me such a big surprise. I wonder how much amount Brother Yu can get? The more the better."
"Three hundred million US dollars? This is the quota of a normal QDII fund."
"Sure, Brother Yu, please help me find out what the situation is. Please let me know what specific documents we need from KingSky Capital. We will definitely follow the formal procedures."
Although it is not as expected, it is completely acceptable if it really exists.
Moreover, as long as the exchange of interests is legal and compliant, Li Yuan does not reject it.
Yu Chenguang didn't expect Li Yuan to agree so readily, so he said, "You don't need any special documents. With our relationship, I can even get you all the funds."
Li Yuan: “…”
You have a nice idea.
Damn, you mean you want me to make money for you?
Earning management fees from public funds but worrying about private funds.
"Brother Yu, our company does not yet have the ability to connect with LPs, so most of the funds can only be raised from the market. But don't worry, brother Yu, I still have the ability to raise this amount of funds."
Yu Chenguang said awkwardly, "Brother, do you really have to make me confess? You are so good at making money, and I want to get a piece of the pie. As long as you ask, I will find a way to get it for you, even if it's $500 million."
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Yu, do you just want to invest some money? If that's the case, I can take out $100 million from the $500 million quota."
He was just making an excuse before, and it was not against any rules to connect with Yu Chenguang's funds.
He has the final say on matters within the rules.
