Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Soon, the wheels of time rolled into 2007.

Sure enough, with the full efforts of the Luo family, Kage Media successfully went public. Not long after, Kage Media was also included in the Nasdaq 100 index and successfully raised a large amount of funds.

Although Wanzhong Media's stock price has risen significantly since last year, it is still enough to acquire all the shares held by Li Xiaofeng.

When Luo Siqi and Luo Siyuan's legal team came to Wanzhong Media to discuss the share acquisition, Li Xiaofeng did not hesitate at all and readily agreed to sell all the shares he held.

After some haggling, the two parties reached an agreement on the price of $8 million for Li Xiaofeng's shares.

Soon, Luo Siyuan produced the contract that had been prepared in advance. After a careful review by Le Xiner's legal team, Li Xiaofeng and Luo Siqi signed it.

After the two finished signing, Luo Siyuan looked at Le Xin'er with a complicated expression and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Xin'er, look, this is the man you chose. He has now been defeated by our Luo family!"

From now on, you will no longer be able to obtain resources from him. Didn't expect this day to come, did you? Tell me honestly, at this moment, do you have any regrets?

Le Xin'er rolled her eyes at him and said in a flat tone, "To be honest with you, there really isn't one. My law firm has expanded too quickly in the past two years, and the management can't keep up."

This pause is perfect; it allows me to take a good break and also gives me time to improve the company's internal management.

In addition, I plan to use this time to properly adjust my health and perhaps have a baby. Thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity.

Luo Siyuan's face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth, but he couldn't utter a word.

Li Xiaofeng chuckled and kissed Le Xin'er on the cheek, saying in a relaxed tone, "Baby, that's great! I've been waiting for you to say that. Don't worry, I'll definitely grant your wish!"

Then, he turned to Luo Siyuan and said, "Luo Siyuan, what are you saying? You're not a businessman at all. You're too impulsive."

Business people are all about making money. Making money is winning, and losing money is failing!

I only invested 50 million yuan in this advertising company initially, and that 50 million yuan was borrowed from the bank.

Now that I've sold the company, I've cashed out over six billion yuan. After paying capital gains tax and various fees, I still have at least five billion yuan left.

An investment that multiplied more than a hundredfold in less than four years—is there such a thing as failure? If this counts as failure, how many business people would be crying out that they're going to fail?

In China, corporate income tax is levied on asset appreciation, while in the US, capital gains tax is levied. Every profit is subject to a significant tax deduction. This $800 million is equivalent to over 6 billion RMB, and after taxes, only about 5 billion RMB will likely remain.

Luo Siqi sneered at Li Xiaofeng and said in a nonchalant tone, "You're just a typical nouveau riche. You have no sense of long-term development. No matter how much money you have, you'll eventually squander it all!"

Li Xiaofeng continued with a grin, "There are over 50 billion yuan lying in my bank account. It would be difficult to eat all of this money. I could eat myself to death and still not finish it!"

Then, acting as if they were old friends, he walked up to Luo Siqi, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "President Luo, Wanzhong Media is a good company. Run it well and don't let me ruin it!"

Luo Siqi said somewhat displeasedly, "This company is mine now, you don't need to worry about it. It's my own company, and I will naturally run it well!"

"That's good, that's good!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and waved to Le Xin'er: "Xin'er, let's go, go home and enjoy life!"

Back at Li Xiaofeng's villa, Le Xin'er asked him with some concern, "Xiaofeng, after you sold the company, what are your next development plans?"

"What, are you really worried that I'll just sit around and wait to die with the money, like Luo Siqi said? Don't you think about how I was able to start from scratch and build such a large fortune?"

I'm one of the lucky ones who emerged from millions of entrepreneurs. I'm a first-generation rich kid. Am I any less capable than the second-generation rich kids of the Luo family? If he were really that capable back then, I wouldn't have been able to acquire Hezhong Media.

Think about it, if he can see the problem so easily, do you think I can't? I can only see it more deeply and further than he can!

The reason I sold Wanzhong Media is because its stock price has risen too high. As you know, I also have a lot of real estate, which has appreciated a lot recently. It's not that I don't have the money to compete with them.

But what's the point? Are we going to give up on making money for a moment of passion? Instead of fighting to the death with Gear Media, cashing out and selling is the wisest thing to do!

Just you wait, it won't be long before I buy Wanzhong Media back!

Li Xiaofeng knew that Le Xiner was also a career-oriented woman who was determined to make a name for herself in the Le family, prove her worth to the Le family, and improve her mother's status in the Le family.

Although Li Xiaofeng couldn't tell her directly that by the end of the year, the US would experience a subprime mortgage crisis, the stock market would suffer a severe blow, and the whole world would fall into an economic recession, it was still necessary to reassure her.

Le Xin'er was surprised and delighted, and tentatively asked, "You really intend to buy back Wanzhong Media?"

"Of course. Wanzhong Media is a company I founded myself. I know the company's foundation very well. More importantly, the company has a very high profit margin. In terms of profitability, it is not among those super-large companies."

Why did the Luo family start in the advertising industry? Why were they so determined to acquire my Wanzhong Media? It's because they valued Wanzhong Media's profitability.

"But what they've got, they won't easily give back!"

Li Xiaofeng sneered, looking completely unconcerned, and said, "They have no say in this. Listed companies certainly have their advantages; financing and resale are more convenient. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a listed company."

However, this is also the downside of listed companies: they are easily controlled by capital. If they can buy my company, I can also find a way to buy it back.

As expected of a lawyer, Le Xin'er was knowledgeable and quickly realized Li Xiaofeng's thoughts. She tentatively asked, "Do you think that Wanzhong Media's stock price will fall?"

"Of course! Not only will Wanzhong Media's stock price fall, but Gage Media's stock price will also fall, and the drop in Gage Media's stock price will definitely be even greater!" Li Xiaofeng said confidently.
