Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 103 Top Speculative Capital
Bing Ning felt like her world had collapsed.

Upon returning home, the first thing I did was glance at the IOU.

Just like Lin Lang said.

No wonder Lin Lang let her take it. At first, she thought it was a test from Lin Lang, meaning that she could return it or not.

result……

Essentially, Lin Lang should have taken the money, since she had already told Shen Xingnan that she wouldn't have to pay to terminate the contract.

Who knew that Shen Xingnan would act like a lunatic and insist on giving it to him?

Using twelve million to test someone? Who can withstand such a test?

"Should we give this IOU to Shen An'an? What Shen An'an does with it is none of my business."

"In this way, who cares what Shen An'an thinks? She won't owe the Shen family anything anymore. She'll just have to obediently try to please Lin Lang from now on. If being an internet celebrity doesn't make money, she'll make up for it with other things."

"only……"

"Forget it, we can't get the money for this right now anyway. We'll give it to her when we can get the money."

Bingning knew that if she gave it to Shen An'an, Shen An'an would probably have a lot of doubts.

In Shen An'an's eyes, money wasn't that important; she valued feelings more.

She just said that she could actually compromise, and although there was an element of helplessness and resentment in it, it at least shows that she is really good to herself.

Bingning doesn't consider herself a good person. Running a bar has exposed her to all sorts of people and influenced her quite a bit.

It means she hasn't met anyone she likes, otherwise she would have started dating long ago.

For example, Lin Lang, she didn't actually like him that much. After all, it's unrealistic to expect someone with her personality to genuinely like someone.

But she took the initiative to do a lot of things.

She even kept thinking about running away after paying off her debts.

She felt that she wasn't much different from many other bar girls.

What about Shen An'an? It's like there's no comparable persona, which makes even someone like her, who has almost no emotions, feel a little sorry for her.

……

Qin Dong spent the whole day at Yun Yiyi's hometown, and only drove away after having dinner.

After returning to the county town, he called Shen Xingnan.

"Old Shen, my son is getting married on the 28th of next month. You must come and attend the wedding banquet!"

Shen Xingnan on the other end of the phone was a little surprised, "Haiyang is getting married so soon? Didn't they just start dating not long ago?"

He knew about Qin Haiyang and Yun Yiyi's affair, which was quite a big deal in the county.

Especially after the live-streaming sales reached over 30 million yuan that day, he felt that the Tianshui duck industry had been revitalized because of an internet celebrity.

"There's no other way. I'm about to become a grandfather, and I can't keep putting it off."

"Wow, this is double happiness! Congratulations! No matter how busy I am, I'll definitely have to go to the wedding banquet."

Shen Xingnan certainly didn't believe that the matter was that simple.

To put it bluntly, Yun Yiyi is still the most valuable.

Otherwise, given Qin Dong's personality, he would have to find a way to abort the pregnancy.

Does the Qin family lack children?
His youngest child is only three years old.

Qin Dong: "I knew you'd be there. By the way, I heard your An'an is getting close to that Lin Lang. How much do you know about Lin Lang?"

"Hmm? We're not close anymore. I've already helped An'an terminate her contract, so she has nothing to do with Big Fish Media anymore. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Qin Dong sighed, "My girlfriend Haiyang, I don't know what kind of spell Lin Lang has cast on her, now she absolutely insists on doing whatever Lin Lang says. Even if we ask her to continue bringing in some goods for Tianshui Duck Industry, she won't agree."

"Old Qin, you'd better be careful. Lin Lang is no pushover."

"Who can argue with that? Last time, during the live-streaming sales event, Tianshui Duck Industry basically recouped its raw material costs, while Lin Lang demanded a full five million from us. Also, the subsequent videos we made for Haiyang's girlfriend, even just one video, sometimes without him even showing up, cost twenty thousand yuan. But... there's nothing we can do. Our county only has one company that understands how to operate a social media platform... we're being held hostage."

Having said that, Shen Xingnan probably understood as well.

So he said, "Yes, we don't know anything about this. We just take whatever price they say it is. Last time, it cost me a whopping twelve million to terminate An'an's contract."

"What? Twelve million?"

"Yes, I even consulted with professionals, and they couldn't find any fault with it. In this situation, we can only accept it."

Qin Dong chuckled and said, "Old Shen, knowing you as I do, this isn't like you."

"What can I do? Xinglan Real Estate is giving me a huge headache right now, I don't have the energy to worry about anything else."

"Actually, it's just a matter of a sentence or two," Qin Dong muttered to himself.

“Normally, it would be a matter of a word or two, but now… I don’t have that mindset. Xinglan Real Estate needs a lot of help in the future, and there are many situations where a word or two is enough.”

Shen Xingnan would definitely not respond to Qin Dong's words.

Qin Dong's meaning was already very clear: either get rid of Big Fish Media or acquire it, in order to maximize his profits.

If he can revitalize the Tianshui duck industry, countless people will owe him favors.

Even if he can't revitalize the business, taking down Big Fish Media would still be beneficial for him.

At least his internet celebrity daughter-in-law has lost her backing and will have to listen to his arrangements from now on.

But this matter has nothing to do with him.

He had no direct interest in Big Fish Media; he was simply indignant about the 12 million yuan.

Qin Dong probably wants Big Fish Media now, since he has already made a lot of money from Big Fish Media, and Tianshui Duck Industry is in ruins and extremely difficult to save.

He wants to do what he wants to do himself, so don't try to drag me into it.

The only thing I can do is to clarify my identity, that I have no connection with Big Fish Media, and that my daughter has already terminated her contract with Big Fish Media.

He was happy to see Qin Dong take action; if he could really get Big Fish Media back, he could probably get his 12 million back.

"Then I'll give it a try. I'm just afraid that my words won't be enough. After all, a fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken."

"Old Qin, you're not down on your luck! Xinglan Real Estate will definitely need your help in the future."

"What? You want to go public? Actually, you should have gone public a long time ago, you've missed out on a lot of money..."

In Qin Dong's view, Shen Xingnan was too conservative in his approach to things.

If we had gone public earlier, we could have had plenty of funds to expand, increase leverage, scale up, and ride the wave of the real estate sector to potentially reach a market capitalization of 20-30 billion.

He just didn't do it; Xinglan Real Estate had over 2 billion yuan in cash in its accounts two years ago.

This money can basically pay off all their loans.

However… Shen Xingnan didn’t want to sever ties with the bank, and the cultural tourism project still needed money, so Xinglan Real Estate still had over a billion yuan in debt.

Xinglan Real Estate currently has a net asset value of nearly 3 billion yuan and liabilities of over 1 billion yuan. Such a debt ratio is quite unusual in the real estate industry.

Normal real estate companies typically have 70% or even 80% debt. Even slight fluctuations in housing prices can lead to insolvency. However, these issues do not exist for Xinglan Real Estate.

"I've had this idea, but I haven't made a decision yet. I'll think about it after the New Year."

Shen Xingnan had thought about it, but he still wanted to wait until the New Year to talk to Yan Li's father.

Once a company goes public, it loses control of its own destiny. Qin Dong is a prime example.

Before Tianshui Duck Industry went public, although they didn't earn much, the company operated stably.

Since going public, he has been watching the stock price every day. With daily fluctuations of a few points, his net worth can increase by hundreds of millions in the blink of an eye. In order to cooperate with other capital operations, he has also made all sorts of reckless investments.

When the real estate market is booming, invest in real estate; when the pharmaceutical market is booming, invest in pharmaceuticals.

He capitalized on the hype, the stock price went up, and he made money.

But the problem is, the Tianshui duck industry is going to disappear.

It's not that he absolutely had to do it, but the temptation of money was just too great.

Qin Dong: "That's true. Your brother-in-law is impressive. We can all sit down and chat about it later."

"Yeah, I'll call you over when I have the chance."

……

Lin Lang received the message from Yun Yiyi the next morning when he went to the company.

I'm getting married to Qin Haiyang on October 28th.

Aside from mentioning that Lin Lang would be the best man, nothing else was said.

Then we talked about the product showcase. Many brands were sending her private messages in the backend, wanting Yun Yiyi to put their links in her product showcase.

But Yun Yiyi didn't know what to choose, so she organized them and asked Lin Lang to help her pick one.

Lin Lang glanced at the spreadsheet Yun Yiyi had sent him; it contained over three hundred pages.

She didn't know what many of these things were.

However... he knew what items Yun Yiyi hung in her shop window sold well.

Products sold online can actually be divided into two main categories: everyday and non-everyday.

Selling everyday products will reach a wider audience.

For example, food and drinks, skincare products, toilet paper, garbage bags...

By making sure that people who click in by chance can see their needs, their desire to buy can be stimulated.

Yun Yiyi's fans are quite diverse, mainly consisting of middle-aged and elderly men and women.

There are definitely young men and women there, but... those people are all poor and have no money to spend.

Influencers who target young people generally have limited earning power. Their main goal is to expand their reach, gain more traffic, and build an IP effect before they can use that traffic to support themselves.

Considering that middle-aged and elderly people don't have a high demand for snacks, Lin Lang helped Yun Yiyi select some soy milk, nutritional supplements, and daily necessities, especially tissues, which are used in large quantities every day, so they had to be placed at the front.

Around 9 PM, Shen An'an suddenly sent me a message.

"I borrowed another 50,000 yuan from my family. What should I buy?"

"Shouldn't we wait until that previous funding comes out first?"

"That company's shares are suspended again, and I wonder how long it will be suspended... I want to make money... [feeling wronged]"

Lin Lang quickly said, "Actually, you've been making money all along. I've made over $300,000 in Bitcoin."

"But that money was supposed to be lent to you, right? I want to earn some money for myself too... If I have any extra, I can give it to my parents, they seem to need the money too."

"Well... okay! Let me ask..."

Lin Lang was forced to start selecting stocks.

This timing is actually not a good one.

The peak time for ST stocks is usually in April, when companies submit their financial statements to the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC). Companies that have suffered losses for two or three consecutive years tend to appear in this period.

When a company is designated as a "Special Treatment" (ST) stock at other times, it usually indicates a major problem, the most common being financial fraud.

Lin Lang searched while simultaneously flipping through his memories.

Most of the stocks that have performed well this year are newly listed or recently listed stocks, offering little opportunity to participate, as one could easily become stuck holding the bag, and Lin Lang didn't want to take the risk.

Finally, Lin Lang discovered a rather unique stock.

Yongkang Biotechnology.

This company is the most outrageous one ever. Others might commit financial fraud, but this company is directly faking vaccines!

Then, it was ST (Special Treatment), and then it was forcibly terminated.

This stock was heavily speculated on this year, with a maximum increase of 140% over three consecutive months. Now it has slightly corrected by more than 30%.

However, this is still within the normal market trend.

Lin Lang took a special look and saw that this stock had hit its first limit up in half a month yesterday, and today it was trying to go up to the second limit up.

“Yongkang Bio, our financial advisor said, will definitely make a lot of money this year.”

Shen An'an: "I've already believed you twice, you can't let me down again this time, right?"

"Absolutely not! Our financial advisors are very capable, but the first two times it really wasn't their fault; those companies had problems on their own. After all, our financial advisors can't possibly know the situation of every company; they can only analyze data and know when it will rise and when it will fall... Look at Bitcoin, there haven't been any problems with it. If you follow the financial advisor's advice, haven't you made money?"

"That's true... who knew those companies were all committing financial fraud?"

"So, as long as this company doesn't run into any problems, it's guaranteed to make money! Turning 50,000 into 500 million is not a dream! Once you've bought it, send me a screenshot, and I'll make a video for you... The lines are the same as always, just improvise a few lines."

Shen An'an's lines are simple: just curse the lousy company that made her lose money.

"What a terrible company! I'm speechless. I wonder how much money they'll have to pay in compensation..."

Then, she posted her holdings, blurred out the stock information, leaving only the stock price.

Although the current platform does not have very strict regulations on stocks, it is easy to have your account restricted once you are reported.

Next year, this will be strictly restricted, and the disclosure of stock names and codes will be prohibited. In serious cases, accounts will be banned.

It's best to take precautions in advance, especially since Shen An'an's cases have recently started to increase.

……

Wang Wei is a top-tier speculative investor with a well-known reputation in the market.

He is known as "First Board Bro" in the industry because he is good at making the first board.

Having over a billion yuan in funds is his achievement over the past decade.

Last week he chose Yongkang Bio, for a simple reason: the stock was very popular and had surged in the past few months.

After the pullback, the buying support remained strong, so he started trading on Monday and ignited the market yesterday at 6 points. Several other funds followed suit, pushing Yongkang Bio to its daily limit.

Today, the move from one to two points is a crucial point. The market opened eight points higher, and he plans to use another 50 million to ignite the market strongly, allowing the market sentiment to calm down temporarily.

Just as he lit a cigarette, deciding to light it after he finished it, a message popped up on his phone, which was lying next to him.

He specifically followed one person on Douyin (TikTok).

That person might cause him to lose 30 million.

Moreover, he did some research on the other party, and the more he studied them, the more he felt that the other party was strange.
