Rebirth Must Be Happy

Xu Jinhuan has indeed been quite busy lately. With the funds, the advantages of being a reborn person can finally be put to good use. In addition, he can also take advantage of the senior bigwig Chen Guiliang. Even if we disregard the shares of Zhiyu Games, Xu Jinhuan's own funds are already in the billions.

Weaving Rain Games doesn't distribute dividends. Apart from the financial compensation from Tencent's investment, its "principal" consists only of the profits from "Flappy Bird." This rate of return is undeniably impressive, but with the advantage of being reborn and having Chen Guiliang to help guide it, it can only be described as average.

Many major events that are well-known to later generations are almost meaningless to ordinary people, but for someone like Chen Guiliang, any piece of information means an investment opportunity.

Xu Jinhuan earned more than a hundred times his initial investment, and Chen Guiliang's investment also multiplied several times—for an investment of his scale, this was an extremely exaggerated rate of return.

Xu Jinhuan had been warned by Chen Xingzhu long ago that his affair with Xie Wanqing was about to be exposed, but after so long, neither Chen Guiliang nor Yu Peishan had reacted at all. He suspected that it was the returns on these investments that were at play.

When you can bring someone a million dollars, you can solve a lot of problems;

When you can bring someone a hundred million, there's almost nothing you can't solve;
Xu Jinhuan is now bringing Chen Guiliang a massive fortune in the tens of billions. Faced with such a large sum, many conventional rules and standards have lost their weight.

After all, "capitalists will sell the rope to hang themselves if there is enough profit," and Chen Guiliang, a father, an entrepreneur, and a representative of a vast fortune, is no exception.

With money in hand, Xu Jinhuan has been investing in the new energy vehicle industry chain for the past two months. In the future, new energy will focus on "three electrics and three controls", but intelligent driving has not yet taken off. The three electrics will be the focus in the next few years.

Among these, CATL, Jingjin, Founder, and Huichuan are his key investments. Chen Guiliang followed in his footsteps and entered the market. He didn't want to hold controlling stakes; having a certain degree of influence was enough.

These were basically connections that Chen Guiliang had painstakingly built up through various channels. As expected, BYD, another company that Xu Jinhuan wanted to invest in, proactively approached him, wanting to have the Dynasty series product trademarks that Xu Jinhuan had preemptively registered.

Xu Jinhuan used this to express goodwill, and with his own reputation, he successfully made contact with the core team of BYD. Just two days after his parents arrived in Beijing, Xu Jinhuan met the boatman who had been saved by the piano lacquer shop owner.

In 2014, BYD faced internal and external difficulties. On the one hand, it was under tremendous pressure in the traditional gasoline vehicle market, and on the other hand, the new energy vehicle market, on which the company had bet on its transformation, was showing no signs of improvement. Even many people within the company doubted whether new energy vehicles could lead to a future.

Or rather, whether BYD can survive until that day.

The capital market is also very pessimistic about BYD. Its stock price has continued to fall in the past six months and has now fallen to just over 40 yuan. The company's market value is only about 1000 billion yuan, less than one-third of that of Zhiyu Games.

In this situation, the boatman is now inferior to Chen Guiliang, and even to Xu Jinhuan.

Of course, this is only the surface situation and does not fully represent the true status, just like the difference between traffic stars and actors in the entertainment industry.

However, no matter what, Xu Jinhuan was no longer looked down upon wherever he went at this point. He missed out on the thrill of playing dumb to outwit his opponent and turning the tables on them, which left him quite disappointed.

The two talked for nearly three hours. The boatman went from doubt to surprise to admiration. At first, he felt like they had known each other for a long time, but as the conversation got more open, they still had many disagreements. For example, they clearly couldn't agree on ideas about brand building and moving into the high-end market. In the realm of real technology, Xu Jinhuan only avoided the real issues and only had a superficial understanding of many of them.

Fortunately, they weren't really doing business together; it was just a matter of each getting what they needed. After the talks, BYD got the investment and the Dynasty series trademarks, and Xu Jinhuan got the technology cooperation he wanted. It could be considered a win-win situation.

"So, you're really planning to build cars now?"

Back home, Chen Xingzhu was also there. After listening to him say a few words, she keenly noticed the change in his attitude and asked softly, "Starting so early?"

Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui exchanged a glance, both suppressing their urge to lecture their son, knowing that they were no longer able to offer him the right advice on these specific matters.

Xie Wanqing didn't say anything, but Song Zhiyu didn't care about that. She puffed out her cheeks and said, "At worst, the business will fail. You just need to give me some extra savings before you go into debt. I'll support you when you go bankrupt!" She patted her chest as she said the last three words, showing a lot of bravado.

"I do have that idea, but don't worry, I definitely won't go all in,"

Xu Jinhuan picked up the restless little yellow dog that was trying to tease Xiao Guai, grabbed its ear with one hand, and smiled at Song Zhiyu: "But you should still save money. After all, sometimes the situation is beyond your control. What if you refuse to admit defeat and are forced to take a gamble? Then you'll have to support us."

This statement essentially puts Song Zhiyu, Chen Xingzhu, and Xie Wanqing together, almost like an official announcement in front of their parents, only said in a joking way about him being a kept man, leaving a lot of room for interpretation.

Song Zhiyu was a little embarrassed, but also a little expectant. She nodded first, then looked at Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui, afraid that they would notice, but also hoping that they would notice.

Unfortunately, Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui didn't seem to think much of it. When Song Zhiyu looked over, Song Xiaohui smiled and said, "Did you hear that? Don't waste money. Spend when you need to, and save when you need to."

Song Zhiyu pouted, feeling no relief, only disappointment. She said "Oh," and added, "Sister Xingzhu also said she wants to buy two more cars, each costing several million. Tell her quickly."

Chen Xingzhu knew that this kind of spending was a bit too "wasteful" for Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui, and had informed them in advance and explained the reasons, so the couple were not surprised at all.

Xu Haiguang said, "We'll just spend the money we need to spend; there's nothing we can do about it."

Song Xiaohui also said, "We don't know anything about building a business. We just need to have something to do. You guys can go do whatever you need to do."

???

Song Zhiyu was planning to subtly sabotage Chen Xingzhu, but unexpectedly, Chen Xingzhu had already defused the situation. She glanced at Chen Xingzhu, then gave Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui a sweet smile: "After I finish the college entrance exam next year, I'll also learn to drive. I'll save up some money to buy a car and take you guys for a drive!"

Song Xiaohui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting."

Chen Xingzhu took out her phone to check the time, then stood up and said, "Uncle, Auntie, I'm going home now."

"Okay, please go slower on the road."

Several days had passed, and Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui had stopped trying to persuade Chen Xingzhu to stay. After giving her a few words of advice, Xu Jinhuan got up and took Chen Xingzhu home.

The two chatted briefly about the car on the way back, but didn't discuss anything serious. When they got back, Xu Jinhuan's parents, Xie Wanqing, and Song Zhiyu were still awake. Xu Jinhuan's parents were also about to go back, so the next two days would be mainly for relaxation. They chatted a bit more about the itinerary, and then Xu Jinhuan went to take a shower while his parents went to rest.

After her parents arrived, Xie Wanqing and Song Zhiyu, though still living there, resolutely refused to let anyone touch them. Although Xie Wanqing was gentle, she was even more worried about being discovered by Xu Jinhuan's parents and affecting her "reputation." As for Song Zhiyu, she was even more so, still in a state of being unable to see the light of day.

After a few days, Xu Jinhuan had almost gotten used to it, treating it as a chance to recharge. He checked the box office figures for "Monkey King: Hero Is Back," chatted a bit in the group chat, and then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

However, just as he turned off the light, he heard a noise in the darkness. He instinctively propped himself up and turned to look, only to see a dark figure pounce onto the bed.

The sudden lunge made Xu Jinhuan instinctively suspect it was Xiao Huang, but the vaguely visible slender figure and the accompanying fragrance immediately confirmed his identity. He leaned back to catch the other person, and without a word, flipped over and subdued them. (End of Chapter)
