Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 86 Little Maid

"Fanfan, do you still remember Hu Xiaoli?"

"I remember you, your roommate."

The two were from the same school, a vocational preschool teacher training college in Jiangcheng.

Yun Yiyi: "She's in Jiangcheng now, and she's met all sorts of people. In just over a year since graduation, she's had seven or eight boyfriends. But she says her first boyfriend was the best to her; with the later ones, she'd lose interest after about ten days. She's used to spending money lavishly, and to maintain her monthly expenses of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, she has to keep finding boyfriends... Last month, her standard for a boyfriend was that he'd only go to a hotel if he spent 20,000 yuan on her; next month, it'll be 10,000 yuan..."

She's only twenty years old. What about next year? At first, she didn't even think about it, because even after breaking up with her first boyfriend, he still gave her gifts from time to time out of consideration for their relationship.

But she wasn't satisfied and kept dating new boyfriends. Eventually, her first boyfriend found out, and then… she was forced to lower her principles and bottom line time and time again.

Yun Yiyi and Mi Xiaofan chatted from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m.

Although she and Mi Xiaofan had been friends for many years, they were both going through difficult times, and neither of them had the ability to lecture the other.

Back then, when she told Mi Xiaofan these things, she only received a dismissive response from Mi Xiaofan, which even affected their relationship.

Things are different now...

Mi Xiaofan listens to everything she says.

Mi Xiaofan had never experienced this before, so she wasn't sensitive to 'loss'.

But now, she's starting to have some things.

She has a luxurious residence, hundreds of thousands of followers, and a clear path leading to the future.

In this situation, her 'loss' comes at a price, which is clearly perceptible.

What truly made Mi Xiaofan start to think about life was this incident; no matter how much she talked about it, it was all based on this incident.

She reached out and pinched Mi Xiaofan's body, saying, "Fanfan, you're so pretty, no one will refuse you. Even if someone does refuse, it's not because they refuse your good points."

"What about the shortcomings?"

"Everyone has flaws. As long as you keep showing your strengths, no one will focus on your flaws all the time. No one will dislike a singer's dance moves unless they give up being a singer and insist on being a dancer. No one will dislike a gentle and considerate girl for being arrogant and unrealistic unless she gives up her gentleness and consideration and only has arrogance and complacency left."

Mi Xiaofan: "Yiyi, you're so amazing, Lin Lang will probably like you a lot."

"No, Lin Lang wouldn't like someone like me. I'm not pretty, I have too many personal ideas, and I can't be controlled. Lin Lang is very capable, and the more capable a person is, the more they like girls who are easy to control, sensible, obedient, beautiful, and without ambition."

"I have ambitions too..."

When Mi Xiaofan said that, Yun Yiyi laughed and said, "What kind of ambition is that? You just want to live the life you want and pursue some honors of your own. For someone like Lin Lang, these are also opportunities to show their desire for control."

……

Lin Lang woke up to find it was another Saturday.

After glancing at my chat history with Yan Li last night, I realized something.

Yan Li really started a fund company.

However, fund companies have many rigid structures that need to be perfected before they can officially operate.

For the average person, let alone having that much registered capital, it would be difficult to even set up the most basic company framework.

Yan Li seems to have been born with these qualities.

Others can only be envious.

For Yan Li to have such a starting point, it would take him, a reborn individual, several years of hard work. For people from ordinary backgrounds, even if they are exceptionally talented in the financial industry and work hard for decades, they may not be able to reach Yan Li's starting point.

Whose starting point is a fund company?

After working at the company for a while, Lin Lang sent a message to Shen An'an.

Why didn't you send the transaction screenshot from yesterday?

Shen An'an: "...I don't want to do it anymore..."

"No, haven't you noticed that your account's traffic has increased? You gained over two thousand followers last night..."

"They're all here to see me make a fool of myself [feeling wronged]"

"That's what you call luring people over before killing them! What's the use of being so powerful if there's no audience? Listen to me, all the grievances you suffer now will become the honors that will crown you in the future!"

He didn't just say he'd offer Shen An'an a 12 million yuan termination fee.

After all, it involved three whole months of customized content, and it was for the financial industry.

He can ensure that Shen An'an keeps losing money and maintains her persona.

Although he was nominally doing this all by himself, in reality, even the world's top analyst teams would find it extremely difficult to achieve this.

We need to conduct in-depth research on each company's situation, and then either analyze its business prospects or try to find problems in its finances...

Analysts at top financial institutions earn very high salaries each month, and even a small team incurs substantial monthly expenses.

Lin Lang did the work of an entire team by himself. We can't let him not earn money just because he's so good at it.

Twelve million, a truly friendly price.

Even top-tier institutions might spend 50 million and still not be able to achieve what we have.

If Shen An'an were to step forward and say she wanted to terminate the contract, out of consideration for their relationship, he could ask for no money and could overturn his own proposal.

But since Shen An'an didn't bring it up herself, he wasn't embarrassed to ask for it.

Lin Lang obtained the screenshots and videos from Shen An'an, quickly organized them, and had her post them online.

In just one hour, the video garnered tens of thousands of views.

Lin Lang switched to several alternate accounts and went to the comments section to stir up trouble.

"Sis, go ahead and start your live stream. I'll give you a carnival of rewards, just please don't touch my votes."

"Once is fine to watch for fun, but twice in a row? Sis, you really have a point."

"No, I don't understand what's wrong with Wanli Technology? Is it another case of financial fraud or a decline in performance?"

……

Lin Lang's approach was primarily to guide the market. Although there were some rational analyses in the comments section, suggesting that this was just a normal market reaction—a failed attempt to go from three consecutive limit-up days to four—it had nothing to do with any mystical theories.

However, not many people actually invest in stocks; most people view them as entertainment, and those involving conspiracy theories or metaphysics are obviously more interesting.

Rational analysis has no place here.

This is why a new genre will gradually dominate the internet and attract more and more people.

That school of thought is called abstraction.

Around 11 o'clock, Lin Lang went downstairs to have dinner with Bing Ning.

Then they discovered a Maybach parked in front of the company.

As he appeared, the door of the Maybach opened, and someone Lin Lang recognized stepped out.

Of course, he didn't know the other person's name.

Upon seeing Lin Lang, He Qiang walked over and asked, "Are you Manager Lin Lang?"

"Yes, yes, hello boss. We met the day before yesterday. Is there any business you need here?" "No, no, I felt a strong connection when I first met Manager Lin. I wanted to invite him to lunch today. Manager Lin, you must do me the honor... By the way, my name is He Qiang, and this is my business card..."

He Qiang had been having trouble eating and sleeping these past two days, and after much deliberation, he decided to visit Dayu Media.

He doesn't have any business with Big Fish Media that requires him to contact them, but he wants to get some information from them.

After all, the last live-streaming sales event was entirely handled by Dayu Media, so if Tianshui Duck Industry continues down this path, Lin Lang will definitely know best.

Determining whether Qin Dong stays or leaves is extremely important to him.

Holding He Qiang's business card, Lin Lang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. He, how about I treat you to dinner? It's not a formal place, just a friend cooking for me. Please don't mind."

Having already agreed to Bing Ning's request, Lin Lang didn't want to suddenly change his mind.

However, Bingning can make one more dish.

He Qiang wasn't there to discuss business; he was probably just here for a casual chat to expand his network. His homely style wasn't out of place.

"No, no, it's me who's bothering you. But I really wanted to chat with Manager Lin today, so I shamelessly came over... Manager Lin, get in the car, and then point me to a place? I know Tianshui County very well."

"Row."

After getting in the car, Lin Lang told him the location of Oscar Bar.

He Qiang was indeed familiar with the roads in Tianshui County; he had traveled around there quite a bit over the years.

During the short journey of just a few minutes, Lin Lang didn't talk much with He Qiang.

When he received He Qiang's business card, the first thing he noticed was the information about Xincheng Capital.

He Qiang is the owner of Xincheng Capital, which is currently the second largest shareholder of Tianshui Duck Industry.

Lin Lang had reviewed Tianshui Duck Industry's annual reports over the years. Xincheng Capital had only entered the market last year, and their holding cost was very high, close to 5%, which must have cost them over 100 million yuan.

Now, those shares are only worth a little over fifty million.

This is very wrong; the losses are too high.

A single live stream is not enough to double the stock price of Tianshui Duck Industry...

The current rise is largely due to the fact that previous shares were not being sold off, and the market is looking to open up more room for further upward movement.

Anyway, Xincheng Capital is bound to lose money; it's just a matter of how much.

"Manager Lin, is this Oscar Bar?"

"Yes, it's owned by a friend of mine. Business isn't good, so he invites us over for a meal whenever we have free time."

He Qiang said with a smile, "It seems I really have bothered Manager Lin today."

"Haha, no problem at all, Mr. He, please don't mind. Please come in..."

Lin Lang led He Qiang into a private room.

As for the dishes, Lin Lang didn't let He Qiang make the decision, since the menu here was unusual.

He had already told Bingning on the way here that adding just one would be fine.

After sitting down in the private room, Lin Lang said, "Mr. He, you can smoke here, but I personally don't smoke, so please feel free to do as you please."

He Qiang looked at Lin Lang and said with a smile, "Manager Lin, the day before yesterday you asked me to watch that live-streaming sales event. I watched it after I got back, and it really impressed me. Your Dayu Media's application of traffic is truly masterful."

Lin Lang asked, "President He, are you here this time as the second largest shareholder of Tianshui Duck Industry?"

He Qiang was a little stunned, then asked, "Manager Lin even knows this?"

Lin Lang said, "The main purpose of the live-streaming sales event the day before yesterday was not to make a profit from selling goods. The whole thing was planned by our Dayu Media from beginning to end. We used traffic to feed back into the secondary market and boost the financial sentiment of Tianshui Duck Industry. I have definitely investigated all the situations of Tianshui Duck Industry. I just didn't know that you, Mr. He, are the boss of Xincheng Capital."

He Qiang: "..."

He felt that Lin Lang was exaggerating.

This whole thing requires a close connection between the financial industry and the influencer marketing industry; at the very least, it can only be planned by seasoned financial professionals.

If Lin Lang has this ability, why doesn't he go into finance? Why does he work in media?

The media only makes a little money.

"Manager Lin should know why I'm here today, right?"

"I don't know, but you said you didn't come to talk business with our Big Fish Media, so there are only two other reasons left."

"Oh?"

"First, you're just here to chat; second, you're here to gather information."

He Qiang nodded. "What if it's the second option?"

"After that, things get more complicated. I don't know your situation at Tianshui Duck Industry, nor do I know your relationship with President Qin, so it's complicated to explain in more detail."

"What if my relationship with President Qin is just average?"

"That makes things even more complicated. If you have a good relationship with President Qin, you probably want to come and ask about the prospects of live-streaming e-commerce, plan for Tianshui Duck Industry, and minimize your losses as much as possible. If you don't have a good relationship, then you definitely want to judge whether President Qin wants to revive Tianshui Duck Industry or just create a rebound and then leave based on the extent of Tianshui Duck Industry's cooperation with Dayu Media... And I can't say for sure about this; only President Qin himself knows."

He Qiang was impressed by Lin Lang's clear thinking, but...

From the start of the conversation, he subtly positioned himself as someone in a superior position, but Lin Lang didn't show any temper at all.
Truly great people can't be without temper.

Just then, a woman came over.

He Qiang's gaze lingered on Bing Ning.

It's not just because Bing Ning has an outstanding appearance and a stunning figure.

Most importantly, he knew Bing Ning.

He had a good relationship with Bingning's father and had helped her make connections many times.

But Bingning didn't seem to recognize him.

After serving a few dishes, he sat down next to Lin Lang.

"Thank you for your help, Sister Bing." Lin Lang said to Bing Ning first, then turned to He Qiang and said, "President He, let's eat first. If there's anything you want to talk about, we'll have time after we finish eating."

"it is good."

Bing Ning smiled slightly, and after seeing He Qiang pick up his chopsticks, she immediately picked up her own chopsticks as well, picked up a dish and put it in Lin Lang's bowl, "Try the fish I made today. If it's not good, I'll make it again right away."

Lin Lang: "..."

He Qiang, who witnessed this scene, was stunned.

What is Bingning doing?

He owns such a big bar, his family is well-off, and he has a close relationship with the Shen family.

Lin Lang is just a handsome young man, isn't he?
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Bing Ning seemed to have Lin Lang all in her eyes, not giving him a single glance elsewhere, as if she were a little maid.
