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

After spending a few days with Yang Mi at the villa, Li Xiaofeng received a phone call from Liu Shasha informing him that the loan of 40 billion yuan that the Li Group had obtained from the bank had been approved.

Li Xiaofeng had already decided that Feiyu UAV Company would receive 10 billion yuan, Miao Peipei's Lego.com would receive 20 billion yuan, and the remaining 10 billion yuan would be distributed to Dingdian Excellent Media.

After experiencing turmoil, Feiyu UAV is about to launch its product with a huge investment of 5 million yuan from Li Xiaofeng, coupled with its previous patents and technological accumulation.

This time, the 10 billion yuan loan allocated to Feiyu will not only be used for continued R&D investment, but also to build its own large-scale drone production base.

The Tesco website, owned by Miao Peipei, is the breakthrough point that the Li Group is preparing to make for its next big breakthrough. It will occupy a very important position within the Li Group in the future and will also be an important platform for the next step of resource integration.

In addition to its nationwide rollout this year, Lego.com will also increase its offline promotion efforts to seize the food delivery market ahead of other group-buying websites and establish a comprehensive delivery rider team.

As for Vertex Media, the reason for increasing investment is that during last year's tax evasion scandal, the company took advantage of the temporary market gap to increase its investment in self-produced film and television dramas, thus seizing a large share of the film and television drama market.

This year, we're investing another 10 billion yuan, partly to maintain this level of investment, and partly because Dingdian has launched a development plan to support celebrities in starting their own businesses.

Therefore, Yang Mi's film and television company, which she is starting, will need to invest 300 million yuan in her.

However, this is also a result of keeping up with the times. There are countless studios and film and television companies in the entertainment industry. Rather than binding these celebrities with contracts, it is better to let them work hard to earn more money for themselves.

Perhaps this is what is meant by the invisible hand of capital!

For these film and television companies, the money they are aiming to earn is not the company's meager profits, but rather the money from the appreciation of their shares.

These celebrities, as the founders of the company, certainly cannot easily extricate themselves, but for Dingdian, as an investor, it is perfectly normal for them to cash out and leave after the company goes public.

In his luxurious villa, Li Xiaofeng put his arm around Liu Shasha's waist from behind and said with a grin, "Sister Shasha really does have some tricks up her sleeve. No matter how arrogant that bank manager Song is, he's no match for you."

Liu Shasha tilted her head slightly, resting it on Li Xiaofeng's shoulder, whispering intimately in his ear, "He's not afraid of me, he's just scared of you."

Today, Chairman Li of the Li Group is highly regarded in the business world. He has the strength and ability to go head-to-head with the bank president and even win—who would dare to imagine such a thing!

"That's because they overestimate me. Actually, I had no choice. If I didn't stand up to President Song, I would have to put up with his humiliation every day."

What's the point of earning so much money? It's so that one day I can speak up. If I earn money but can't speak up, what's the point of earning it?

Liu Shasha said with a grin, "Of course it's meaningful! You can use the money to pick up girls!"

"What are you saying? I have you as my girl, that's enough for me. Why would I go out and chase after other girls? With me, the flowers at home are always sweeter than the wild ones!"

"Don't give me that! I've heard that Secretary Li's daughter has been getting quite close to you lately!"

"Where did you hear this gossip? She's with Xueying, using my name to raise funds everywhere!"

"Isn't she someone working within the system? How did she get involved with Xueying?"

"Well, she's doing some kind of poverty alleviation work, and one of her important tasks is helping students from impoverished families go to school."

The government funding wasn't enough, and she had big ambitions and wanted to do a lot. Luckily, Xueying was also working on something similar, so the two hit it off immediately.

So she applied to her superiors and established a semi-official professional fundraising organization. By taking advantage of Xueying and the Li Group, she raised funds at various business gatherings in Shanghai.

As far as I know, those two have already made a fortune off me. Many of my old acquaintances now avoid them like the plague, like mice before a cat.

"Tell me honestly, you don't have any feelings for her?" Liu Shasha's tone was playful.

Li Xiaofeng said with a helpless expression, "Sister, I'm a human being, and a very rational one at that. I'm not a beast who pounces on everyone I see. That's Secretary Li's precious daughter. Am I crazy? Why would I provoke her?"

Liu Shasha said with a grin, "Who knows? Don't you always try to seduce a pretty girl whenever you see her? You're not much different from a beast who pounces on anyone you see!"

"How dare you talk about me like that! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Li Xiaofeng tickled her armpits with a wicked grin, making her roll around on the bed and beg for mercy. Li Xiaofeng then took the opportunity to make several demands before finally letting her go.

"It's not like I've never seen a woman before. Li Qiuxia is quite pretty, but compared to you, she's just so-so. People who are used to eating delicacies don't have the desire for a fancy meal anymore."

Liu Shasha pouted and retorted irritably, "Is that even human language you're talking about? You're comparing yourself to 'you guys'? How many people are in your 'group' right now?!"

"Hehe, actually there aren't many people, less than ten if you count them. You might not believe it, but among people like me, I'm really one of the few. Some corrupt officials within the system have more than me!"

"So I've seen through you all. You men are all the same. Women have to be strong and independent, otherwise you stinking men will bully them to death!"

Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "So, you, this self-reliant woman, haven't been bullied by me quite a bit either!"

Liu Shasha said with an arrogant expression, "How is this me being bullied by you? In my eyes, you are just a tool for me to pass the time when I'm bored and lonely."

"I'll use it whenever I want, and throw it away when I'm done. I'm not like them, constantly being dragged over to serve you and subjected to your control."

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a calm tone, "Actually, I didn't restrict them. In fact, they have already achieved financial freedom. If people really want to separate, external things can't hold them back."

Well, I think this is what freedom is all about. People get together because they enjoy being together. Social morality is one scale, and so is the human heart. Don't you think so?

“That’s true!” Liu Shasha nodded with a smile.
