Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 249 is mainly for the thrill.
"In terms of the cooperation arrangement, you contribute the most goodwill, so you take the lion's share; Uncle Shen from Lingzhou Pharmaceutical can also contribute some goodwill and personal assets as collateral, so he is next; as for me, I have nothing of value, and as the initiator, I only need to have a sense of participation by contributing 10%."

Chen Cheng had nothing to hide from Yan Chengbin. Although he was confident about the project, whoever contributed more goodwill would theoretically bear the greatest risk, and Yan Chengbin would inevitably take the lion's share.

Yan Chengbin was also surprised that Chen Cheng only wanted 10%. He asked in astonishment, "Xiao Chen, you went through all this trouble to organize this event, and you only want 10% for yourself? All that running around might not even earn you as much as you would from manipulating the indicators yourself."

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "It's okay, Uncle Yan. If things go well, we can make 100 million. Even 10% is 10 million. I don't have any fixed assets right now, and Xiaonei.com hasn't received any funding or has a reliable valuation. Just getting a piece of the pie is enough for me."

Yan Chengbin shook his head and said, "Your Renren.com's revenue is quite high now, right? It's probably more than ten million a month. I really can't figure out what you're after."

Chen Cheng frankly said, "The main thing is the thrill and satisfaction of trading. It's exciting to take down a group of speculators in Wenzhou. If I succeed, I'll definitely feel a great sense of accomplishment. As for how much money I can make by doing this, it doesn't really matter to me."

Chen Cheng didn't actually intend to make much money from this project. His main goal was to help Shen Zhou raise funds and, incidentally, test his own trading skills.

In his previous life, he was in business, mainly doing live-streaming e-commerce; he never did anything with high technical content.

He knew very well that making money through live-streaming e-commerce was actually a business with little technical content. The people who made big money in this industry generally had low levels of education, with most not having attended university and the rest having attended diploma mills.

These people were mostly unemployed before, making funny videos and creating borderline videos. They didn't expect to make a lot of money. They were already satisfied with the platform giving them 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month. But suddenly one day, the opportunity came. They stood in front of the camera, called out to their family members, and listed a few products. Money seemed to have eyes and flowed into their pockets from all directions.

Chen Cheng was the same. Although he didn't become an internet celebrity, he succeeded by catching the best era of Taobao. Later, with the funds he accumulated from Taobao, he started an MCN company, built up several streamers and live streaming rooms, and thus made a steady stream of profits.

But when asked to evaluate the business himself, he said he felt no sense of accomplishment other than making money.

When he and his colleagues were doing e-commerce in Hangzhou, all they could think about was how to repackage goods that could only be found on street stalls into department store counter goods and sell them at a good price.

Therefore, they positioned themselves as tools to help the platform make money. They would spend 50 cents on packaging, 50 cents on labor, 2 yuan on express delivery, 3 yuan on advertising, and sell the product for 9.9 yuan. They would only earn less than 3 yuan themselves and would have to bear at least a 50% return rate.

We poured money into promotion and achieved high spending, and the platform gave everyone a few points back at the end of the year, like a year-end bonus, just like celebrating the New Year.

The platform makes all the money, and when there's a problem with the product, they still punish themselves.

This perfectly matches what Master Tang said: the rich man's money will be returned in full, while the common people's money will be split 30/70, with the rich man taking 70%.

There's absolutely no sense of accomplishment in doing this kind of business.

Now, it feels completely different to be outsmarting a group of speculators in Wenzhou all by yourself; just thinking about it is thrilling.

Yan Chengbin hadn't expected that Chen Cheng was after the sense of accomplishment from successfully manipulating the market. But thinking about it, it made sense. Wencheng speculators were invincible wherever they went, and they usually left behind a mess. It was almost unheard of for anyone to make them suffer losses. If Chen Cheng's short selling really went as planned, it would indeed be quite an achievement.

An 18-year-old boy who orchestrated the collapse of a group of experienced speculators will surely become a hot topic in the investment world.

This stirred a sense of excitement within him, a grown man in his forties. So, without standing on ceremony with Chen Cheng, he said, "If you've thought it through, then do it. I'll fully cooperate!"

Chen Cheng said with a smile, "Since Uncle Yan has no objections, I'll invite Uncle Shen out tomorrow so we can meet together. After that, I'll also call over the Wencheng speculators to have a chat and get things moving quickly."

After the meal, the couple watched Chen Cheng and his daughter get into a taxi.

After the car had driven quite a distance, Chen Min asked Yan Chengbin, "Do you think the project Xiao Chen mentioned is reliable in practice?"

"I can't control that much."

Yan Chengbin chuckled and said, "If it works, everyone's happy, proving that this kid's mother is really someone special; if it doesn't, and he really makes me lose a lot of money, then he'll owe me a huge favor, and I won't make him pay me back, I'll just give it to Xuanxuan."

Chen Min paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "So you mean you're just treating this as a loss to find a son-in-law?"

"more or less."

Yan Chengbin lit a cigarette and said with a smile as he smoked, "This kid is really something else. He's only eighteen years old, but he's already not satisfied with just making money. He wants to take on a group of old foxes all by himself. He's got ambition for his youth. We have to support him and participate in his cause."

Chen Min laughed and said, "What if you make money? According to my calculations, you might make a hundred million, and you'll take the lion's share. It's not a lot of money, but it's easy to make it."

Yan Chengbin exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile, "If you make money, give him half. If he doesn't want it, then give the money to Xuanxuan and let Xuanxuan hold it on his behalf. Make sure Xuanxuan finds a way to get him to accept it. Xuanxuan is a stubborn girl, she'll definitely pester him every day. Just consider it as a way to strengthen your relationship."

"Let Xuanxuan hold it on my behalf..."

Chen Min couldn't help but laugh and said, "Only you could come up with such a dirty trick."

Then, she suddenly frowned and said, "By the way, when Xiao Chen mentioned Lingzhou Pharmaceutical, did he mention Uncle Shen?"

"Yes, I did mention it. What's wrong?"

Chen Min said, "Do you remember, among the people who lent money to Xiao Chen to buy a taxi company, there was a girl named Shen Luning?" "Oh, I remember, just like a girl surnamed Lu, she lent him a million, right?"

"Correct."

Chen Min muttered, "Lingzhou Pharmaceuticals might be a business owned by Shen Luning's family."

Yan Chengbin nodded: "That makes sense. And then what?"

"What then?"

Chen Min glanced at him sideways and said, "This kid, Chen, is quite popular with women. He's also willing to help others. He might have a lot of female confidantes in the future."

Yan Chengbin waved his hand: "Don't overthink things that aren't true. I think it's more like a reciprocal gesture. You women sometimes don't understand men's thoughts. We often do things not for women, but for the sake of our conscience. You heard him say that the bet between Lingzhou Pharmaceutical and Tianyun Pharmaceutical is about to expire and they're about to lose. He must feel that Shen Luning helped him, so he helped her."

Chen Min nodded: "That makes sense."

Yan Chengbin said, "If Lingzhou Pharmaceutical really belongs to Shen Luning's family, it actually proves that Xiao Chen is a reliable person."

On the way back, Yan Ruoxuan kept giggling happily. When Chen Cheng asked her what she was laughing about, she said she couldn't explain it.

She didn't quite understand the collaboration Chen Cheng discussed with her father today, but it didn't matter, and she didn't care anyway. Chen Cheng was having dinner with her family of three, and the atmosphere was so harmonious, which was enough to make her happy.
-
The next day, Chen Cheng arranged to meet Shen Zhou at noon.

To make things convenient for Yan Chengbin and his wife, he still chose Jiangcheng Hotel as the meeting place.

Shen Zhou came directly from the pharmaceutical factory, and naturally brought Shen Luning with him.

Upon meeting, during the initial introductions, he introduced Shen Luning to Yan Chengbin and his wife, explaining that she was his daughter.

Yan Chengbin greeted her with a smile, but Chen Min, seeing Shen Luning's beauty and outstanding temperament, couldn't help but ask, "How old is Xiao Shen this year? Is she still in school?"

Shen Luning smiled and said, "I'm twenty-four years old. I just graduated and now I help my dad with some company matters."

Upon hearing that Shen Luning was much older than Chen Cheng, Chen Min breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Cheng also introduced Yan Chengbin and his wife, but he was still clueless about what Yan Chengbin did for a living. He wanted to ask yesterday, but he was too embarrassed to.

Yan Chengbin didn't give Chen Cheng his business card yesterday, but since the occasion was more formal today, he took out his own business card and handed it to the Shen family father and daughter.

Shen Zhou was astonished after reading it: "President Yan is the chairman of Hairun Group? Hairun Group must be at least in the top five in southern Jiangsu, right?"

Yan Chengbin humbly said, "I really don't know the exact ranking, but Hairun's ranking under my management should be lower than under my father's management. In recent years, several large companies have emerged in southern Jiangsu, involved in chemicals, clothing, and electrical engineering, and they are all very powerful."

Chen Cheng had never heard of Hairun Group, but he knew all too well how big the economy of southern Jiangsu was—a GDP of 200 billion yuan, which was the largest in the province.

If Hairun Group can rank among the top five in southern Jiangsu, then it must be at least a company with a scale of several billion yuan.

Shen Luning clicked her tongue in amazement. Chen Cheng only mentioned on the phone that he had found a business partner. However, since she knew that the other party could come up with more than 300 million yuan in goodwill, she knew that the other party must be someone important. But she never expected that the other party was so important.

After a short chat, everyone settled on the basic principles for the distribution of resources in this collaboration.

Chen Cheng suggested that the two of them allocate 100% of their share proportionally based on the goodwill and collateral they could provide, and then each of them would contribute 10% to themselves according to the same ratio.

Shen Zhouyuan doesn't have Yan Chengbin's strength; the company's and his personal goodwill, equity, and collateral combined can barely reach 70 million.

So Yan Chengbin decided to offer 350 million yuan.

Thus, the ratio of their shares is five to one, with Shen Zhou receiving 16.67% and Yan Chengbin receiving 83.33%.

Since Chen Cheng's share of the "soy sauce" was to be allocated, Shen Zhou contributed 1.67% and Yan Chengbin contributed 8.33%, so the final percentages were: Yan Chengbin 75%, Shen Zhou 15%, and Chen Cheng 10%.

Chen Cheng predicts that the Banlangen market will be more sensitive than the benchmark market. People will first rush to buy Banlangen as a reserve resource, and then gradually become so anxious that they try to stay home and avoid taking public transportation.

Therefore, as soon as the more than 100 million yuan from the short selling is realized, a city-wide deployment will be immediately launched, and a large number of people will be arranged in advance. They will be paid commissions to directly and quickly acquire quotas from the panicked taxi driver group at low prices. Although it is determined that the people of Wenzhou do not have enough funds to drive up the market, it is still necessary to be cautious and catch them off guard.

As long as they get the quota to fulfill the contract, they can drive as much as they want. When everyone thinks that no one is taking the taxi and that driving a taxi is not only not profitable but also losing money, they will never be able to raise the price to more than 50,000 even if they work themselves to death.
