Starting with a fully invested A-share portfolio to become a capital...

Chapter 76 Leveraging External Resources
"Once Caijing.com grows and expands into fund sales, it may be able to leverage Xu Zhiruo's family background to obtain various financial licenses in related fields."

Zhang Yang weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

In his previous life, he had started from scratch on Wall Street. At first, he didn't understand the importance of "leveraging power" and encountered setbacks everywhere. However, as he gradually figured out the rules of how society operates, Zhang Yang also understood the rules of "leveraging power".

To survive in society, the first thing you must do is learn to leverage the strengths of those who are stronger.

When a person is young, the source of influence they rely on is their parents. The achievements and social status of their parents directly determine the attitudes of others.

If your parents were billionaires, your teachers and school leaders would pay more attention to you, and might even try to curry favor with you.

But if you have no power or influence, even being treated fairly is a luxury.

At this point, Xu Zhiruo's family background was undoubtedly the "power" that Zhang Yang needed.

After careful consideration, Zhang Yang looked at Xu Zhiruo, whose eyes were full of anticipation, and said, "I only have a general idea right now. Why don't you bring your investment and we can start this financial website together?"

"Ah? Is it us?" Xu Zhiruo's face lit up with joy, mixed with a touch of shyness, her heart pounding.

"We co-founded a financial website, does Zhang Yang also have feelings for me?"

"It must be so!"

"Then I'll reluctantly agree!"

While Xu Zhiruo was lost in thought, Xu Zhirou was taken aback, clearly not expecting Zhang Yang to regard Xu Zhiruo as a business partner.

Based on her understanding of Zhang Yang, he was a very career-oriented person.

“A person who loves their career more than women must have ulterior motives,” Xu Zhirou guessed.

However, Xu Zhirou was wrong about one thing: Zhang Yang was not averse to women, but he wanted to seize this hard-won opportunity for rebirth and did not want to get too entangled in romantic relationships.

In today's fast-paced society, matters of the heart tend to become even more steadfast after achieving success and fame.

"That's right, it's just us right now."

Zhang Yang replied to Xu Zhiruo.

“Then I’ll be the minority shareholder, and you’ll be the majority shareholder. We, husband and wife…” Xu Zhiruo started to say, but quickly changed her words, “If we friends work together, we can overcome any obstacle. We’re sure to succeed.”

“It will succeed.” Zhang Yang smiled calmly and continued, “Since we are business partners, I will compile the business plan and send it to you later. After you have read it, we can find time to sit down and talk about it in detail.”

"If you have enough time, you can also supervise the website's construction progress and operational management issues."

“No problem, I have plenty of time.” Xu Zhiruo agreed without much thought.

Xu Zhirou, standing to the side, squinted as she sized up Zhang Yang. She now seriously suspected that this man was going to take advantage of her.

"Here's your bank card. The PIN is 123123. Easy to remember, right?" Xu Zhiruo moved the black gold card in front of Zhang Yang and said with a smile.

Looking at the black gold card with millions in savings, Zhang Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a bold idea popped into his mind.

After confirming the feasibility, he immediately made a decision and asked Xu Zhiruo, "Are you free today? Let's go to Hangzhou."

What are you going to Hangzhou for?

Xu Zhirou, who was standing to the side, suddenly interjected.

“Yeah, why go to Hangzhou? My parents aren’t there.” Xu Zhiruo thought Zhang Yang wanted to find her parents to confirm the source of the funds.

Zhang Yang knew he couldn't hide the truth any longer, and large bank transfers required the account holder's presence, so he simply confessed, "I want to put the website business aside for now and use this 115 million to leverage 5 times the capital and manipulate the price movement of a stock."

"what?"

"what???"

Xu Zhiruo and Xu Zhirou were stunned.

115万配5倍资就是575万，再加上张扬自己的100多万，手里可用资金瞬间就接近700万。

With 700 million yuan in leveraged funds, it has already entered the realm of speculative capital.

Xu Zhirou immediately stood up, her face full of displeasure, and said, "You think you can be the dealer with just over 500 million? You're really delusional, and you've also trampled on my sister's sincere support for your business."

She already found the idea of ​​starting a financial website unreliable, and now that Zhang Yang was going to use the money to leverage stock trading, she felt it was even more unreliable, even suspecting him of being a walking financial fraudster. Faced with these accusations, Zhang Yang didn't offer any explanation, but calmly replied, "I never do things I'm not sure about."

“Indeed, Zhang Yang never does anything he’s not sure of, I can vouch for that.” Xu Zhiruo nodded in agreement.

"you are hopeless."

Seeing her sister siding with outsiders, Xu Zhirou glared at Xu Zhiruo and then stormed off.

Watching the departing figure, Zhang Yang paid no attention. Instead, he looked at Xu Zhiruo with curiosity and asked with a faint smile, "Ruoruo, aren't you afraid I'll lose all my money?"

“Money can be earned back, and besides, I trust your investment acumen. You’re a top student, no, a genius!” Xu Zhiruo gave a thumbs up, her eyes filled with admiration.

Zhang Yang was clearly stunned upon hearing this. In his previous life, he had been a player in the world of interests for decades, and his principle was the exchange of value.

What is value exchange?
You have bread, I have milk, you want to drink milk, I want to eat bread, so we can exchange them.

But if you have no bread, it means you have no value, and we will not have any real interaction.

It is precisely because of this principle that Zhang Yang is constantly improving his own value in order to acquire resources from others.

Xu Zhiruo's pure emotional outpouring made Zhang Yang, who was only thinking about profit, feel ashamed. In order to suppress his guilt, he stood up and said, "There's no time to lose. Go back and get your ID card. We'll head to Hangzhou immediately."

Are you driving?

Xu Zhiruo asked a question.

“It’s faster to drive yourself. Don’t you have a Maserati?” Zhang Yang said without thinking as he closed his laptop.

"Um... I lent my car out."

Xu Zhiruo felt a little guilty.

Zhang Yang paused for a moment, as if realizing something, and then said, "It's okay, we can get there by car too."

“There’s no need to take a car. My sister has a Porsche 911. I’ll borrow it from her.” Xu Zhiruo thought of a backup plan.

"Okay, I'll call you later."

"contacting via phone."

……

The scene of Xu Zhirou, Zhang Yang, and Xu Zhiruo leaving the coffee shop one after another was also witnessed by an "informant" pretending to pass by, who immediately called Cheng Zhihong, the vice president of the badminton club.

"Dududu-"

Not a moment.

The call is connected.

"Brother Hong, good news! It seems Zhang Yang and Xu Zhirou had a fight. Xu Zhirou left the coffee shop looking angry."

"Really?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Well done. You can continue to monitor Zhang Yang. I won't treat you unfairly."

"No problem, Brother Hong."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Zhihong, who was still eating in the cafeteria, immediately realized that his opportunity had come. Taking advantage of a moment of weakness was one of his specialties.

Back then, he relied on being a warm-hearted guy, or more accurately, a male confidant who listened to his heart, to maintain inappropriate relationships with at least three girls.

Cheng Zhihong had people follow and secretly photograph Zhang Yang in order to ruin the latter's image in Xu Zhirou's eyes.

After all, no girl would like a guy who's entangled with a bunch of girls.

When it comes to poaching talent, Cheng Zhihong is a professional.
