Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 93 Special Forces (24 chapters, please subscribe!)

Xu Mu drove the car back to Wang Zhengjian.

How about grabbing a late-night snack together?

Wang Zhengjian looked at Xu Mu and asked curiously.

"Sure, but I'll go to the company first..."

"Row!"

Xu Mu went to the ground parking lot of the high-speed rail station, rented a small electric scooter, and headed straight for Lingmu Design Company.

When Xu Mu arrived at the company, she found it brightly lit and everyone still working!
"Don't you guys get off work so late?"

Xu Mu asked curiously.

"No! We're busy preparing for the press conference right now. We've finally set it for the 23rd, which is a Saturday, so everyone will have time to come..." Wang Mengyan explained as soon as Xu Mu returned. "How was your time in Shenzhen with Bingbing?"

"This is exhausting! I'm practically a superhuman!"

However, the result was good; Xu Mu was able to complete the mission!

Judging from Tang Ruobing's performance these past few days, she must be happy, and she might even reach the system's requirement of 80 points!
Xu Mu had been thinking about this on the way here. Perhaps having a relationship with Tang Ruobing would be the thing that would make Tang Ruobing happiest...

To complete the mission, they were willing to sacrifice their health.

"are you tired?"

"I'm exhausted! But I made a small profit of 500,000!"

Xu Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of Green Hair Bro.

Not only did he not spend any money on this trip, he also made a lot of money... Although Xu Mu went to pay his personal income tax the next day, he still received over 800,000 yuan!
Zhang Xinnan only received a little over 300,000 yuan in the end; the majority of the money went to Xu Mu.

"what's the situation?"

"You can make money just by going out?"

Xu Mu recounted what had happened...

This immediately made everyone in the office burst into laughter.

"Is this guy really that crazy? Anyone with eyes can tell he's faking it!"

"He even wrote an IOU for one million? That's hilarious!"

"But the final result is good. This guy is really ruthless; he took out a loan of hundreds of thousands on the spot to make you break up with that girl..."

"..."

The office was filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Hearing the noise, Ye Muling poked her head out and asked, "Xiao Mu, you're back?"

"just came back!"

Xu Mu greeted them with a smile, "You've made so much money, I'll treat you to milk tea tonight!"

"Thank you, Mr. Xu!!"

Xu Mu smiled and transferred 500 yuan to Wang Mengyan. "Mengyan, the money is here. You can order some milk tea for them. I'm going upstairs to report to my sister about my work!"

Upon arriving on the second floor, we entered Ye Muling's office.

"Sis, how's everything going?"

Ye Muling rubbed her temples, looking somewhat conflicted, and said, "I've been lucky these past two days, closing two big projects, but our company's sales team is asking for a pretty high commission! Do you think I should give it to them?"

"How much?"

"Five percent of the project!"

Xu Mu frowned and looked at Ye Muling, asking, "What about our profits from this project?"

"The profit margin is around 20%!"

“Here you go!” Xu Mu thought for a moment and agreed. “But you need to change your wording! You said you could give me five percent of the project target, but I have another option, which is fifteen percent of the profit!”

"You can let him choose for himself!"

“Fifteen percent of the profit… is definitely lower than five percent! But in terms of data, fifteen percent certainly looks impressive!” Ye Muling’s eyes lit up and she smiled.

As expected of Xu Mu.

His mind works perfectly as soon as he comes back!
“If you give him 5% of the total project amount, then he'll just find some unprofitable projects to cheat for that commission, which is just not right… But if you give him 15% of the profit, he'll know that if he finds some unprofitable projects, he won't get any commission either!”

"But if it's about profit, we have to disclose the project's profit margin, is that okay?"

Ye Muling still had her own concerns.

"Let's sign a confidentiality agreement!" Xu Mu said to Ye Muling. "If he leaks the company's project profits, we'll sue him for 1000 million in damages. Let's see if he dares to leak it again. Besides, this is a test of his loyalty... Of course, it doesn't matter, we can also get a non-compete agreement! We'll give you a high salary, so you'll definitely have to bear some responsibility!"

"They can't possibly make money and then try to sabotage us, can they?"

"They come out to work to earn money, not to create trouble for themselves!"

"If the money is in place and you still try to make a scene, then don't blame us for being ruthless... Besides, we're giving you 15% of the profits, and we also have to give bonuses to our colleagues on the same project team! So the company's profit margin isn't high!"

Xu Mu thought about it and realized that if that were the case, the company's profit would actually be only about 60%.

However, it's only right to give sales such a high profit margin. The remaining 25% of the business he negotiates can be divided among the departments!

"Okay! I'll talk to him then..."

"How big of a project is it?" Xu Mu raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

"One is a building design project, a five million yuan project, the contract has been signed, and the other is a three million yuan project, the design of a landmark project in Hangzhou... But I feel like it's outsourced, although the contract has been signed, and each of them has paid a 50% deposit!"

"Isn't that pure profit? Do we need to get involved?"

"Need not!"

"No, we need to conduct on-site investigations. It's a very challenging project, and the labor and time costs are significant... there's no escaping that..."

Xu Mu doesn't understand design, but Ye Muling must have her reasons for saying that.

After all, this is her specialty!
Now we just have to wait for the press conference, and Xu Mu will be able to complete this task!

"Then do as I say! Or we can not sign a fixed contract with him, and instead split profits according to the project's commission rate! But that's more complicated, it depends on how you negotiate with him... Since he has this ability, we should hold onto this kind of salesperson!"

“We can provide an estimated commission for the project, and then pay him after the project is completed... This way, he will work more smoothly with our team!”

"It really depends on how this person negotiates..."

"Will you help me negotiate tomorrow?" Ye Muling looked at Xu Mu expectantly; she really wasn't suited to negotiating this kind of thing.

“Okay!” Xu Mu did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

When the milk tea arrived, Xu Mu sat down at her workstation and took a sip.

Xu Mu was standing next to Shen Yuting.

"Tingting, how have you been feeling here lately?"

"It's great! My older brothers and sisters take good care of me and have taught me so many things!" Shen Yuting nodded emphatically. "It feels like home."

"That's good..." Xu Mu nodded.

Shen Yuting is, after all, his younger sister. Although they are not blood relatives, they grew up together in the orphanage and have now reconciled, which can be considered a continuation of their family bond.

Seeing that they were all working overtime, Xu Mu felt embarrassed not to work either.

He opened the writer's assistant and started typing... He hadn't written anything in a long time.

However, when Xu Mu started typing, the sound of other people typing on keyboards in the office became much quieter.

"Xu Mu, what are you doing? How come you're typing so fast?"

"Writing words, writing novels?" Xu Mu looked at a boy and replied with a smile, "I'm an online writer!"

"What are you writing?"

"Earning a million a year in a small county!" Xu Mu announced the title of his book...

Many authors are afraid to reveal the titles of their books, fearing that their families will see them, but Xu Mu doesn't think it's a big deal.

It's just a novel; at most, it might contain a little bit of erotic content.

There's nothing shameful about it.

Anyway, everyone loves watching it.

Everyone has been through this!

It's understandable to indulge in fantasies while also indulging in wishful thinking.

"what??"

"Damn, I've been following this novel recently, but it has so many terrible plot points..."

"???" Xu Mu looked at this guy with a face full of doubt, "You still keep reading even though there are so many bad points?"

"It's toxic as it may be, the plot is a bit toxic, but the writing itself is still pretty good!"

"The writing is not bad either!"

"Hehe..." Xu Mu chuckled dryly, "Fine! Then why don't you become an alliance leader?"

"I don't have the money! Besides, Brother Xu Mu, you already have so many Gold and Silver Alliances, why would you need another Alliance Leader like me? Isn't this just taking advantage of your colleague?"

"This isn't about taking advantage of a deal; it's your recognition of my work..."

Xu Mu didn't talk much with his employees, but instead became engrossed in writing...

Inside the office, the sound of Xu Mu's keyboard clicking away could be heard!
For some reason, the sound of Xu Mu typing on the keyboard inexplicably aroused their fighting spirit.

Their work efficiency has improved significantly.

The originally noisy keyboard sounds seemed to transform into a beautiful symphony at this moment.

Xu Mu was busy until 10 p.m., and wrote 60,000 words.

People in the company have been packing up and going home one after another.

Xu Mu didn't say much; he just wanted to be paid for overtime.

Treating them to a milk tea is usually enough. But inviting them for a late-night snack would be too intimate, which wouldn't be good for future company management.

Xu Mu has learned her lesson the hard way!
If the relationship is too close in the early stages, it may cause employees to have other ideas.

The time came to 12:00 on the 18th.

In addition to the 40,000 yuan that Xu Mu received as part of his regular daily income.

The task of taking Tang Ruobing out for fun is now being settled.

"Ding!"

"The host has completed the task of taking Tang Ruobing to Xu Song's concert."

"After system evaluation, Tang Ruobing's happiness value reached 95, exceeding the task target!"

"Mission reward: One system blind box, 50 experience points! Current experience points: lv3: 150/400!"

"Bonus reward: a Porsche 911 GT3!"

"Idiot!!"

Xu Mu's eyes widened. He thought he only needed to reach 80 happiness points to complete the task, but he didn't expect it to reach 95...

No, what about the remaining 5?
What is wrong with Tang Ruobing?

Logically speaking, Tang Ruobing should have been very happy.

It should be 100 points!!
However, seeing the Porsche 911 GT3 as an extra reward from the system somewhat made up for Xu Mu's dilemma about the remaining 5 happiness points.

This is a giant frog! It's one of the most beautiful cars in the Porsche 911 series!

Worth over two million, with optional extras and miscellaneous costs, it exceeds three million... Most importantly, it has a super large rear wing, making it a street-legal supercar!

Xu Mu opened Autohome and searched for it. He was immediately attracted by the appearance of the 911 GT3. Although it didn't have the RS version, this car was already amazing enough!

This is probably the happiest thing for Xu Mu since he got the system.

Because Porsche is Xu Mu's favorite car.

Whether it's Parma or 9/11.

These are all very classic styles.

That's awesome!
Of course, this Porsche is actually the 992 series.

But that doesn't stop him from being handsome!

Xu Mu liked it more and more as she looked at it... and the system even gave her a black one, which was very understated and sophisticated.

"Would you like to open the blind box, host?"

"Open!" Xu Mu opened the system blind box without any hesitation.

He hasn't received a system blind box in a long time!

"Congratulations, host, on acquiring 100% control of Xiang Sheng Century Plaza!"

"??"

Xu Mu was utterly shocked!
Be nice!

This is awesome!

Xiang Sheng Century Plaza is a new landmark in the new city of Tianji County. It has a huge daily flow of people and 134 shops. The annual rent can reach more than 35 million yuan!

This is pure cash flow!

Besides daily security expenses, routine mall maintenance, etc., the annual expenditure is about several million, leaving a net profit of 30 million!

Be nice!

That's it... That feels good!

Most importantly, the high foot traffic in the new city in recent years has made Xiang Sheng Century Plaza's position as the number one shopping mall unshakeable.

In other words, Xu Mu can receive a fixed amount of rent every month!
This feels so comfortable!
Xu Mu just happened to be short of money!
I fell into a deep sleep with excitement in my heart.

At 10:00 a.m., Xu Mu went to Xiang Sheng Century Plaza to complete the relevant handover procedures.

"Mr. Xu, from today onwards, the ownership of Xiang Sheng Century Plaza belongs to you!"

Wang Huan, the former general manager of Xiang Sheng Century Plaza, handed the relevant documents to Xu Mu.

"I don't want to manage anymore, you can stay as manager!"

"I only have one request: just deposit the rent into my account every month!"

Xu Mu, holding the documents, looked at Wang Huan and said, "I'll still leave the management of the entire plaza to you, but for major matters, you can communicate with me!"

"Understood!" Wang Huan nodded repeatedly.

He originally thought that after the new boss took over Xiang Sheng Century Plaza, he would definitely make a big fuss, but he didn't expect the boss to be so easy to talk to... which made Wang Huan breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, he had been here for quite some years. Although his salary wasn't high, there was at least some extra income. He could earn two or three hundred thousand a year, which was quite satisfactory for him!

In a small county town like this, an annual income of two or three hundred thousand yuan is considered quite high.

Xu Mu patted Wang Huan on the shoulder, "Keep it up!"

After leaving Xiang Sheng Century Plaza, Xu Mu received a phone call.

"Mr. Xu, hello, this is the Porsche Center in Taichung. You have a Porsche 911 GT3 in your store. Do you have time to come over and complete the formalities?"

"No, I'm in Tianji County right now! Can you arrange for a handcart to deliver the goods to my door?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu!"

"I'll add you on WeChat. You can send me your location, and we'll arrange for a flatbed truck to deliver it to you. We'll also send a manager to come and coordinate with you to complete the relevant procedures!"

"Okay!" Xu Mu nodded. "Then add me!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Mu received a friend request from a Porsche center salesperson.

Xu Mu casually sent the location.

Around 2 p.m., Xu Mu received a phone call from an unknown number.

"Hello? Is this Mr. Xu? I'm Zhu Tiancai, the handover manager at the Porsche center. Your car has arrived at your location!"

"Do you have time to come over now to complete the handover?"

"OK!"

As Xu Mu walked out of the Starbucks, he saw the black Porsche on the cart in the distance.

The enormous rear wing reflects a unique light under the sun, a charm unique to the Porsche 911 GT3.

The front end, resembling a large frog, is very distinctive.

"Manager Zhu!"

Xu Mu stepped over and shook hands with Zhu Tiancai. "Tell me, is there anything you need me to do?"

"The temporary license plate has been issued. You just need to have the vehicle inspected and sign the necessary documents!"

"However, I have checked it over, and there is no damage whatsoever!"

"But you should still take a look yourself... especially the undercarriage and the surrounding area, check for any scratches!"

Xu Mu smiled and looked at Zhu Tiancai, saying, "Manager Zhu, I still trust you! If you say there's no problem, then there's no problem. Hand over the documents to me."

"Thank you for your trust!" Zhu Tiancai was flattered... However, seeing the aura emanating from Xu Mu, Zhu Tiancai knew that Xu Mu had only bought a toy when he bought the 911 GT3.

For rich people, this kind of car is just a toy!
After signing the relevant paperwork, the car was unloaded from the flatbed truck.

A large black frog with a huge tail feathers.

It has a strong visual impact!

"Mr. Xu, did you buy this car to take it to the racetrack?"

"I didn't think that way..." Xu Mu smiled and shook his head, "I just like this car."

“I am a race car driver. If Mr. Xu wants to go to the track, he can contact me.”

The two added each other on WeChat. Xu Mu wanted to treat Zhu Tiancai to a meal, but he had to rush back to the Porsche delivery center in Taishi!

"When Mr. Xu has the opportunity to visit Jiaojiang District, I'll treat you to a meal!"

“There’s a chance,” Xu Mu said with a smile. “I can pick up my Xiaomi SU7 Ultra next month. I need to go to the delivery center there. Let’s make an appointment then…”

"Mr. Xu already owns a Porsche, why would he buy an Ultra?"

Zhu Tiancai was quite puzzled.

"Hey, didn't I buy the Ultra first, then the Porsche? At the time, I just wanted to experience 1500 horsepower for around 500,000 or 600,000 yuan, so I didn't think much of it... Then by chance, I saw the Porsche 911 GT3, and that frog-face was just too beautiful, so I couldn't resist and bought one outright..."

Zhu Tiancai's gaze towards Xu Mu changed.

Wow, what a tycoon!
That's incredible!
The two chatted for a while longer, and then Xu Mu hailed a taxi for Zhu Tiancai and sent him back to Jiaojiang District.

Driving his new car, Xu Mu felt that Aston Martin was rubbish.

Although Aston Martin is more expensive than Porsche.

However, Xu Mu prefers this large tail wing!
When I ordered the Ultra, wasn't it specifically for the carbon fiber rear wing?
Sitting in the driver's seat of the Porsche 911 GT3, after starting the engine, a roaring sound came from the engine, like a sleeping beast being suddenly awakened... Is this the charm of the internal combustion engine?
Therefore, electric cars can never replace gasoline cars!
Especially with supercars like these, electric cars just don't give you that feeling!
The internal combustion engine is the ultimate glory for sports cars!
As they drove back to the village, the roaring sound immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Xu Mu, you changed your car again?"

"No! It's rented," Xu Mu said with a smile. "How could I possibly afford a car worth millions? I just rented it for fun..."

Xu Mu greeted the villagers with a smile, then parked the car in the yard in front of his house.

The date is August 20th.

The press conference is getting closer!

Around 8 a.m. that day, Xu Mu got up, washed up, put on a casual outfit, and drove to the headquarters of Yinlun Group.

The headquarters of Yinlun Group is located in the old town, in a dedicated building.

As the most successful of the ten listed companies in the county, the county government specially allocated a piece of land for them to build a building.

After parking the Aston Martin in the underground garage, Xu Mu dialed Uncle Yang's number.

"Uncle Yang, this is Xu Mu. Where is your office?"

"I've come over to have some tea with you!"

"I'm outside right now..." Uncle Yang said somewhat embarrassedly, "It will take about half an hour to get to the company. You can either contact Chairman Hu directly, he's at the company now."

“I’m not familiar with Chairman Hu! You’re a senior executive, so I’ll just chat with you directly!”

"Looks like you need something from me?"

"It's not really about having business to discuss! I'm here to talk about a collaboration, and I can help promote our Yinlun Group!"

“Alright…” Although Uncle Yang was puzzled as to what was so great about promoting Yinlun Shares, he still had to give Xu Mu face since he had said so.

A young man who can casually pull out hundreds of millions to acquire shares in Yinlun Group must be quite capable... Perhaps the cooperation he mentioned would be beneficial to Yinlun Group.

"My office is on the 18th floor. There will be an assistant at the door when you go up."

"Tell him to wait for me in my office."

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Mu went straight to the eighteenth floor.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I was greeted by a huge reception desk, behind which stood a young assistant in a black uniform.

"Hello, are you Mr. Xu Mu?"

"it's me."

"Mr. Yang just called me and said you were coming over, so he asked me to wait for you here!"

"Mr. Yang's office is in the second room. Please come with me."

"Ok!"

Xu Mu followed the assistant toward Yang Chengguang's office.

Pushing open the door, you'll find an ordinary office with a long mahogany table, behind which are genuine leather chairs, and behind the chairs is a row of display shelves with various ornaments.

Opposite the long table were a sofa and a coffee table, with money trees on either side of the coffee table... Damn, what a simple and unpretentious office.

The rest of the space is just a water dispenser and some green plants.

What attracted Xu Mu the most was an eight-meter-long floor-to-ceiling window. This window was so beautiful that you could see the scenery of the entire Tianji County, the buildings arranged in a staggered pattern, and the mountains rising and falling in the distance!

Tianji County is surrounded by mountains on all sides, making it a truly small mountain town. However, despite being a relatively unknown county, its housing prices are still incredibly high...

This building, for example, cost them a billion yuan to build and they put a lot of thought into it.

"Mr. Xu, would you like coffee or black tea?"

"How about a cup of black tea..."

Xu Mu sat on the sofa, legs crossed, waiting quietly.

After waiting for two minutes, the assistant came in with a cup of black tea.

She bent down and placed the black tea in front of Xu Mu. The top two buttons of her shirt collar were slightly loose, revealing her ample bosom and a deep cleavage.

Very informative.

But Xu Mu only glanced at it before looking away, his gaze instead falling on her nameplate.

Her name is Liu Baibai!
The name is quite peculiar.

Moreover, she has very fair skin, is 1.7 meters tall, has a decent appearance, and a shapely figure.

As expected, big companies have a good eye for talent when hiring assistants.

Xu Mu looked at Liu Baibai and asked curiously, "As a shareholder of Yinlun Shares, do I have an office?"

"There are currently two empty offices, one of which is specially prepared for you... It's about fifty square meters!"

"White embryo?"

Xu Mu raised an eyebrow.

Since acquiring shares in Yinlun Group, Xu Mu has never actually visited Yinlun Group.

At the time, the handover was only done online... Because it's a listed company, it's quite complicated, and all the relevant procedures and systems had already been completed, so Xu Mu was too lazy to come... After all, the fact that these shares couldn't be sold made Xu Mu feel extremely frustrated!
"No, it's already been renovated, with a modern style. You can go and take a look if you're interested..."

"Sure!" Xu Mu thought for a moment, nodded, stood up and looked at his assistant, saying, "Could you please lead the way?"

Following Liu Baibai to the office arranged by Yang Chengguang, they pushed open the door and saw a large floor-to-ceiling window. Inside, there was a desk, a tea table, and matching leather sofas and coffee tables...

The overall style is white and leans towards modern decoration, which contrasts sharply with Uncle Yang's rustic style.

"Hey, not bad!"

"This is my first time at the company! I didn't expect you to have prepared an office for me in advance."

"As the largest individual shareholder of Yinlun Group, you will definitely be provided with an office. Even if you don't come to work, an office will definitely be arranged!"

Xu Mu wandered around the office, looking here and there...

You know what, working in an office like this really gives you a unique feeling!

how to say……

It felt like I had really become a working professional.

Xu Mu simply had absolutely no interest in going to work! After all, what was the point of such a backbreaking job… But being a shareholder was different; she could come whenever she wanted…

Are you satisfied?

Liu Baibai looked at Xu Mu and asked.

"I'm quite satisfied!"

"Let's go back to Uncle Yang's office and wait for him to come back!"

After touring around for a while, Xu Mu returned to Uncle Yang's office.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Yang Chengguang pushed open the office door.

Seeing Xu Mu sitting on the sofa, he walked over with a smile and said, "Sorry, something came up and I had to go out for a while!"

"Awaited!"

"It's alright, Uncle Yang..."

"You are a senior executive of Yinlun Group, so it's normal for you to be busy."

Xu Mu smiled and shook hands with Yang Chengguang before sitting back down on the sofa.

Yang Chengguang took off his clothes, revealing a plaid short-sleeved shirt underneath, and looked at Xu Mu, asking, "What kind of cooperation do you want to discuss with me?"

"I've invested in a design company, which is scheduled to open on the 23rd. I'm hoping Yinlun Group can sponsor it! As the largest listed company in Tianji County, we definitely need to support local businesses!"

"This time, the design company invited some big names and giants from the design industry across the country to attend the press conference. As Yinlun Group is the flagship company of Tianji County, I was thinking of seeing if we could ask Yinlun Group to sponsor their appearance fees..."

Xu Mu briefly explained his thoughts to Yang Chengguang.

To put it bluntly, this wasn't a discussion; Xu Mu came to talk to Yang Chengguang about this matter...

"Sponsorship isn't out of the question. As you said, the appearance fee isn't much, maybe a few hundred thousand at most. Add to that the venue for the press conference, their meals, and visits to our Guoqing Temple and the waterfall, and it won't cost much..." Yang Chengguang stroked his chin. "However, we need to talk to the marketing department head and get them to approve the funding..."

"I'll call the head of the marketing department now. You can talk to him about this, mainly explaining the benefits to Yinlun Machinery. After all, the procedures for listed companies are quite complicated!"

As Yang Chengguang spoke, he called out towards the door, "Bai Bai, call the marketing manager up here and tell him I need to speak with him!"

"Yes, Mr. Yang!"

"Is this assistant a general assistant for all of your senior executives?" Xu Mu looked at Yang Chengguang and asked curiously. "Your taste is quite good. I've noticed that you leaders have a really good eye for hiring assistants."

"She's the assistant on this floor. We always go to her when we need something..." Yang Chengguang explained. "If the assistant isn't pretty, it affects our company's image. Besides, this floor is full of executive offices. If you say the assistant isn't pretty, when people come up here, won't they think our company is low-end?"

"In a sense, a beautiful assistant is also a face of our company... Of course, such assistants definitely have other ideas. Not long ago, she was involved in a scandal with the son of one of our senior executives. This assistant was even transferred from another department..."

"Isn't this normal? Spending all day with these executives broadens one's horizons and perspectives. They're probably thinking about not having to work hard and just marrying into a wealthy family!" Xu Mu said with a smile, taking a sip of tea.

Where there are men from humble backgrounds who achieve success, there must also be women from humble backgrounds who achieve success.

Very normal.

"Marrying into a wealthy family isn't that easy. Do you think it's simple? There are many complexities involved... But you're quite accomplished for your age, investing in our Yinlun Shares and buying shares in Kaiyuan Taihe. But I'm curious... why don't you just buy the entire Kaiyuan Taihe headquarters in one go? Tang Mochen keeps saying he wants to retire..."

Xu Mu shook his head and said calmly, "If a company is too big, it's not a good thing in my investment philosophy to acquire it entirely. I'm too lazy to manage such a large company. On the contrary, the dividend rights of one company are enough... A stable income every year, this kind of investment is a stable return."

"Why bother? Besides, it's just one fish, enough for everyone to share, it's perfect."

"Young people think differently..."

The two chatted for a few minutes when the marketing manager knocked on the office door.

"Enter!"

"Mr. Yang, are you looking for me?"

The marketing manager was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a black suit and black leather shoes, with a big smile on his face.

He might be the boss in one department, but in front of the company's leaders, he's just a nobody.

"Xiao Li, let me introduce you. This is Xu Mu, an individual shareholder of Yinlun Shares!"

"He invested in a design company in our Tianji County, and they're planning to hold a press conference on the 23rd. They'd like Yinlun Group to sponsor it..."

Yang Chengguang gave a brief explanation.

"So it's President Xu, I've heard so much about you..." Li Shan quickly extended his hand, shaking hands with Xu Mu with a beaming smile, "Which area do you need sponsorship for?"

"Approximately how much funding is needed, and are there any related plans?"

"There's no plan yet... I'll briefly explain our cooperation method to you..."

To put it bluntly, this is just a formality. The shareholders requested a sponsorship of around a million yuan, which is a piece of cake for Yinlun Machinery. Moreover, this company is invested in by Yinlun Machinery's shareholders, so it's essentially just an exchange of interests...

Xu Mu spoke at length, then continued, "Because Yinlun Machinery is a machinery manufacturer, our company can also cooperate with Yinlun Machinery to design some heat exchanger designs... In terms of design, we have something in common, after all, Yinlun Machinery is involved in a wide variety of types..."

“I understand…” Li Shan nodded. “No problem. So, is this promotional material and marketing arranged by Lingmu Design Company?”

"We'll arrange everything; Yinlun Machinery just needs to cooperate..."

“No problem!” Li Shan readily agreed.

Only a million or so.

Moreover, judging from Xu Mu's words, there might actually be some potential for future cooperation... and their clients are nationwide. Although Yinlun Group has already achieved international reach, it doesn't prevent them from helping local companies... Besides, Xu Mu is also a shareholder of Yinlun Group!

Having spent hundreds of millions to acquire equity, is Xu Mu short of one million?
It's definitely not bad.

Why are we discussing this with Yinlun Machinery?
They definitely hope to have a deep partnership with Yinlun Machinery!
With his mind made up, Li Shan naturally wouldn't refuse.

Before Li Shan left, Xu Mu gave him Ye Muling's WeChat contact information so that the two of them could communicate.

"By the way, don't tell my sister that I'm a shareholder of Yinlun Machinery!"

"Just tell them I'm here to discuss this project, and that you're very interested in it..."

Before leaving, Xu Mu looked at Li Shan and gave him a reminder.

The situation surrounding the Yangjiashan villa is still unclear, let alone the shares held by Yinlun Group and Kaiyuan Taihe!
Xu Mu was afraid that Ye Muling wouldn't be able to accept the fact that her younger brother was so amazing.

After Li Shan left, Yang Chengguang asked curiously, "Don't your family members know about the investments you've made outside?"

"I don't know." Xu Mu shook his head. "I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it... After all, the money they've made in the last two years has been outrageous. Doing overseas projects really brings in money very quickly..."

"understand……"

After chatting with Yang Chengguang for a while, Xu Mu drove to the headquarters of Kaiyuan Taihe.

Xu Mu went upstairs but did not immediately look for Tang Mochen.

Instead, they went to Snow White's office.

"Sister Baixue, are you busy?"

Xu Mu placed the fresh-cut fruit he had bought on the way in front of Bai Xue, and also bought a few cups of milk tea.

Because there are several other colleagues in the office... otherwise, it would be extremely boring for Bai Xue to be alone in the office.

"It's alright, not too busy! It's just that recently our Kaiyuan Taihe headquarters is planning to invest in a technology company in an emerging industry, but there are some disagreements among the leadership team. I need to contact this technology company and have them come over for a roadshow... At the same time, I also need to investigate the background of this technology company."

"What's it called?"

Xu Mu put his arm around Bai Xue's shoulder and glanced curiously at the PPT on the computer in front of Bai Xue.

"A tech company in Hangzhou, called Elk Technology, that works on AI!"

“We’re in the real economy, and some members of the leadership team want to expand into other industries. But Mr. Tang feels that AI technology is too big a step for them, and that these kinds of tech companies have too much of a bubble; once you throw money in, it’s like a bottomless pit, and it’s not easy to manage…”

Bai Xue did not resist Xu Mu's contact with her; on the contrary, she was quite at ease.

Because her relationship with Xu Mu had already spread among all her relatives.

Although her colleagues at the company didn't know yet, it didn't affect Bai Xue's mood at all.

She just liked being with Xu Mu.

"Okay... I'll go find Tang Mochen and have a chat!"

"You go about your business..." Xu Mu patted Bai Xue's shoulder, got up and left. "By the way, let's have dinner together tonight."

"I'll have my uncle and aunt come over then."

Xu Mu left the office, and Bai Xue distributed the milk tea that Xu Mu had brought to her colleagues.

"Wow!!"

"Bai Xue, this must be your boyfriend. He's so good to you!"

"He's always been so thoughtful..." Bai Xue couldn't help but smile brightly when she heard her colleagues' praise. "If it weren't for him, I'd still be in debt everywhere..."

"Yeah, I saw you driving a Mercedes C-Class and getting a new phone! A few days ago, I saw him come to your house for dinner?"

"Yes, my parents invited him to our house for dinner... because Xu Mu paid for my mother's treatment, and he's been incredibly kind to me!"

"Such a great boyfriend, you'd better hurry up and marry him, or someone else will steal him away..."

"Hehe..." Bai Xue smiled calmly. Marriage? Bai Xue never thought about marrying Xu Mu, and she was very clear about her own situation. There was no way Xu Mu would get married... How could such an outstanding man only have one suitor?

Bai Xue didn't ask for much, she just wanted Xu Mu to remember her!
In fact, Xu Mu is really good to himself... whether it's to himself, his younger brother, or his family!
They all gave their all without expecting anything in return.

This is what touched Bai Xue the most.

So Bai Xue understood and kept thinking about how to repay Xu Mu in various ways!
"I believe in him."

Bai Xue didn't say much, but after distributing the milk tea and fruit, she continued with her work.

They arrived at Tang Mochen's office.

Old Tang was scrolling through Douyin (TikTok), his brow furrowed, clearly preoccupied...

"Hey, what's making you frown?"

"Could it still be about Tang Ruobing?"

Xu Mu looked at Tang Mochen and asked curiously.

"No, it's not about the company... Bingbing is very cheerful now. When I get home, she chatters on and on about what happened at the company... Xu Mu, I really have to thank you! How much did it cost to take her out this time? Ask me to reimburse you!"

"After all these years, Bingbing has finally matured a lot!"

Tang Mochen's gaze towards Xu Mu was filled with admiration.

There aren't many guys that good anymore.

"Forget it, I don't need your money... I just heard from Bai Xue that you guys want to invest in a tech company?"

"Yes... Our head office has about two or three hundred million yuan in cash coming in every year. Over the years, we've invested in some real industries, but the returns haven't been high. Some of our leadership team members are thinking about whether we can expand into new channels and invest in some technology companies..."

Tang Mochen rubbed his temples. "We've had a lot of meetings these past two days, and it's still a 50/50 situation. Some people support it, and some oppose it... After all, these kinds of emerging tech companies are often unreliable. If we invest, not only will all our working capital from the past few years be wasted, but our dividends will also be much lower!"

Do you have your own thoughts?

“Talk to me…”
