Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 119 Perhaps Lin Lang Should Be Considered
Yan Li followed Shen Xingnan's family to Ziyun Mountain.

Although there are still some company matters to attend to, she won't have much to do until the core issues are resolved.

After spending a night at Ziyun Mountain, she felt much better.

The scenery here is beautiful, and it's quite cool even outside.

Not only that, there was also a clear stream. Sitting on the rocks next to it, with pebbles under her feet and watching the clear water flow over her feet, she felt a sense of ease that allowed her to temporarily relieve a lot of stress.

Of course, it's also very comfortable to sleep with Shen An'an. Shen An'an's body is so fragrant, soft, and smooth.

Yan Li always felt that she was a bit thin; she was 177 cm tall and weighed only 110 kg.

She has always wanted to weigh between 115 and 120 pounds, but she just can't seem to gain the weight.

After having breakfast and taking a walk in the mountains, Yan Li saw her aunt busy with something.

"Auntie, do you need my help?"

Chen Lan smiled and said, "No need, no need. You and An'an can go play. But we have guests at noon, so dress formally then."

"Oh? A guest? Who is it?"

A guest who can be personally arranged by their aunt must be no ordinary guest.

“Song Zhiyuan called last night… Your uncle had already refused, but he insisted on coming, so we couldn’t refuse him… You might not recognize him…”

"Auntie, I know him, but what's he doing here?"

Chen Lan glanced at it and said, "It's nothing to tell you, but just don't tell anyone else, lest they feel uncomfortable if they hear it."

"Oh? It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just curious. Auntie, maybe you shouldn't tell me."

Yan Li hadn't expected the matter to have a confidential aspect, and since it did, she didn't want to know.

Chen Lan said with a smile, "It's nothing major. He just wants your uncle to take over Tianshui Duck Industry and said he can name his price. It wouldn't have been a big deal if word got out, but your uncle has a relationship with Qin Dong, the CEO of Tianshui Duck Industry, so we want to avoid this getting back to Qin Dong and causing unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Auntie, I know Tianshui Duck Industry is a listed company. How did you find Uncle?"

"It's because Tianshui Duck Industry is about to go out of business. That Qin Dong never intended to run the company properly; he only wanted to raise money in the capital market. But Song Zhiyuan definitely wants to revive Tianshui Duck Industry. He contacted many people, and finally came to your uncle... Yesterday he even said that he would help us get 20% of Tianshui Duck Industry's shares without us spending a single penny..."

Chen Lan actually knew Yan Li's personality; her family had never treated her like Shen An'an.

So, for various reasons, I told Yan Li directly.

Yan Li said, "Auntie, I have checked Tianshui Duck Industry's annual report and researched the company. Although I am not very sure, Tianshui Duck Industry is most likely insolvent."

Chen Lan was startled when she heard this.

Has it really come to this?
Insolvent?
Even a god couldn't save him!

Last night, my husband said that if it really didn't work out, we should just agree, since there are a lot of things involved in Tianshui Duck Industry, and it would be a way to give Song Zhiyuan face, since Song Zhiyuan doesn't have any bad intentions.

With a little effort, we might even make some money. After all, it's a listed company, and once things get going, the profits can be quite substantial.

But that's on the premise that Tianshui's duck industry is still worth saving.

They're already insolvent, how can they be saved?
A large amount of capital needs to be injected, but we don't have the money to invest in the Tianshui duck industry.

"Lili, are you telling the truth?"

She asked another question.

Yan Lin nodded: "It's almost certainly true. Tianshui Duck Industry's finances are terrible. Looking at them again, they've even outsourced their core business without anyone noticing. I estimate the China Securities Regulatory Commission will investigate this matter soon, and once it's confirmed, Tianshui Duck Industry will be delisted within one or two years."

“Delisting? No way, I need to go find your uncle and talk to him about this… Lili, can you help me prepare these vegetables?”

"All right."

After Chen Lan left, Yan Li got busy.

She definitely knows how to pick vegetables.

Not only that, she can also cook, and she's quite good at it.

These are all basic skills for her.

As for the earlier statement that Tianshui Duck Industry was insolvent, she said it on purpose.

After thinking about it for the past two days, she felt that Lin Lang was a bit blindly confident after achieving results.

We need to make him realize that he can't rely on luck to make money, so he'll honestly bring his analyst team and come with us to Shanghai.

How do you make him face reality? Just let him fail once.

In the self-media industry, he is so talented that even if he occasionally fails, it won't seriously damage him.

Doesn't he have designs on the Tianshui duck industry?

Isn't he trying to acquire a large-scale physical enterprise to realize his ambitions?

Let him lose all the money he's earned.

Companies like Tianshui Duck Industry are notorious for causing huge losses once you get involved. Even if Lin Lang has 30 or 40 million yuan now, it won't be long before he loses it all.

After losing all the money, shouldn't we face reality?
Running a physical business is not easy. Even if Lin Lang only had 10 or 20 million, he could lose it all, let alone 1 billion or 2 billion.

That's a bottomless pit.

So when she heard that Song Zhiyuan was looking for someone to take over Tianshui Duck Industry, she decided to do her best to make it happen.

After dinner last night, Shen Xingnan asked her about the company's listing, and explained the process of a backdoor listing. It was clear that Shen Xingnan was quite interested.

She was afraid that Shen Xingnan would be unable to resist taking over Tianshui Duck Industry.

Then Lin Lang wouldn't have a chance to lose money.

Lose as much as you want!
He can work hard to make money in his own company, and if he's lucky, he might make hundreds of millions in two or three years. At that point, he might not even leave even if you try to get rid of him.

About an hour later, Chen Lan returned and continued preparing the dishes.

Taking the opportunity, Yan Li asked, "Auntie, what did Uncle say?"

"I told him how serious the matter was, and he said he needed to reconsider. By the way, Lili, when we eat later, could you say something to me... I can't speak right now."

"Huh? What did I say?"

"If your uncle seems inclined to agree, mention that Tianshui Duck Industry is insolvent, to prevent him from acting impulsively."

Yan Li asked, "Auntie, Uncle isn't an impulsive person, is he?"

“That was before. Recently, Xinglan Real Estate has been putting a lot of pressure on him, and he has acted impulsively several times. Last time, An'an threw a tantrum and tore up the contract with Dayu Media to terminate the contract, and he even slapped An'an.”

Yan Li: "..."

Shen An'an, you've suffered so much injustice, why don't you tell anyone?

Shen Xingnan might think Shen An'an was being willful, but Yan Li couldn't see it that way.

She was well aware of Lin Lang's positioning of Shen An'an and the arrangements he had made. If everything really developed in the direction Lin Lang had planned, then Shen An'an could very well become a bellwether for the stock market; whatever she did could cause market fluctuations.

If done correctly, just one such instance could potentially yield tens or even hundreds of millions in profit.

Therefore, Big Fish Media will not lose money.

At least not for now. Shen An'an's persona is becoming more and more stable, and her fan base has exploded recently, gaining six or seven thousand fans every day.

In the daily financial management category, her videos have the highest popularity and the largest number of followers. If this growth rate continues, she could become number one in the category within a month at most.

Now she just posts a screenshot of her earnings every day, casually vents a bit, and gets three or four thousand likes.

This number looks like it represents four or five hundred thousand fans.

In reality, she only has 70,000 to 80,000 followers, which is far from 100,000.

Moreover, she had seen Shen An'an's homepage data, and her videos had received over 500,000 views in the last two days.

Therefore, two particularly illogical points emerged regarding her.

First, the daily pageviews are very high, but the fan conversion rate is very low.

Secondly, the number of followers is very low, but the conversion rate of likes and comments is very high.

These two points are contradictory. Theoretically speaking, if the conversion rates are low, it's impossible to provide that much traffic every day.

There's only one possibility: she has a lot of followers, but it's not reflected in the data.

Perhaps they felt she was plagued by bad luck, so they dared not pay attention, comment, or like her posts, fearing the consequences.
The reason why she has a lot of likes compared to her number of followers is purely because people are fans of her looks.

Her stock market followers only provide her with views, and they are incredibly loyal. Even if they don't follow her, they will try to search for her every day and take a look to avoid potential pitfalls.

Fans who appreciate good looks don't care; they like what they want to like, and they use memes as they please, showing a very high level of activity.

A contradictory yet realistic situation occurred to Shen An'an.

"Auntie, if it's inconvenient to contact my dad, you can try contacting my mom."

My mom has money, so if it's just a few tens of millions, she probably won't refuse.

It's not so certain about his father. His father is very cautious about lending money. A long time ago, he lent more than 10 million yuan to help Shen Xingnan establish Xinglan Real Estate. He asked for 40% of the shares, but Shen Xingnan didn't give it to him at the time and wrote an IOU instead.

It took many years to pay it off.

She used to think her father was cold and unapproachable, but later she realized it was due to their personalities and a unique way of expressing themselves.

"It's alright, it's alright, the problem hasn't gotten to that point yet."

Now that Chen Lan knows that Shen An'an took one million US dollars from her sister, she has no right to ask for more.

Moreover, it's a company issue, not her family's, so it's even more inconvenient for her to speak up.

"Well, if you really encounter any problems, please don't hesitate to ask. This is what my mom told me to say."

"Uh-huh."

……

Half an hour later, Song Zhiyuan returned with Shen Xingnan.

Upon seeing Yan Li, Song Zhiyuan greeted her warmly.

Shen Xingnan then realized that the two had met before, so... Song Zhiyuan should know who Yan Li's boyfriend was.

After dinner, Shen Xingnan sat down and chatted with Song Zhiyuan. Song Zhiyuan came with absolute sincerity and didn't need Shen Xingnan to spend a penny. He would find a way to take over Qin Dong's shares in Tianshui Duck Industry and then forcibly change the ownership of Tianshui Duck Industry.

However, Shen Xingnan didn't answer at all, only saying some polite words from the side.

Song Zhiyuan was very patient, after all, he had contacted five or six people yesterday, and all of them had refused.

There was really no one else.

Even though Shen Xingnan clearly refused over the phone, he still shamelessly said he wanted to come over for a face-to-face meeting.

I never expected that after arriving, the result would still be the same.

It wasn't until Song Zhiyuan asked, "President Shen, if you're worried about affecting your relationship with Qin Dong, I can assure you, I'll take full responsibility. You know what kind of person I am. Qin Dong doesn't treat the employees of Tianshui Duck Industry like human beings, but I have no choice. I'm not from here, and my wife and children are all in other places. Originally, I didn't need to do all this..."

"Leader Song, I'll think about this matter some more."

When Song Zhiyuan directly appealed to personal feelings, Shen Xingnan knew his determination.

Shen Xingnan has never lacked a sense of responsibility. Whether it's Xinglan Real Estate or the property management, they basically pay social insurance and housing fund contributions for all employees and do not use outsourced personnel.

Otherwise, he could save more than 20 million yuan a year.

"President Shen, I can also guarantee that no matter what problems arise at Tianshui Duck Industry, it won't cause you any trouble. If you want me to go to Kong Rui to save face, I'll go right now!"

Kong Rui is a top student in the county and has a very good relationship with Shen Xingnan.

In Tianshui County, Song Zhiyuan had almost no one of his own.

He then promoted someone he considered quite capable to the Bureau of Culture and Tourism.

The Culture and Tourism Bureau of Tianshui County has virtually no power; it's basically just a figurehead.

At this point, Song Zhiyuan's statement that he wanted to ask Kong Rui for a favor was essentially tantamount to forcing Kong Rui to resign.

Once this happens, it will seem as if they are deliberately making things difficult for Song Zhiyuan.

Just then, Yan Li brought out a plate of fruit and placed it in front of the two of them: "Uncle Song, have some fruit. My uncle is just too busy with Xinglan Real Estate. He's all alone and can't manage everything. He's worried that if he promises you something and doesn't do it well, he'll feel bad about it. Why don't you look for someone else? There must be someone more suitable than my uncle."

Song Zhiyuan glanced at Yan Li; he actually disliked Yan Li somewhat.

Shen Xingnan found an excuse and said, "Leader Song, how about this, you look for someone else first, and I'll observe for a few days. If the pressure on Xinglan Real Estate eases up, then we can discuss this matter properly."

Song Zhiyuan took a deep breath and said, "Alright, then I'll have to bother you, Mr. Shen. I'll come back in a while."

After saying that, he stood up.

Even after all that, Shen Xingnan still wouldn't agree, so there was nothing he could do.

She was practically begging him on her knees.

Yan Li, who was standing to the side, said, "Uncle Song, let me see you off."

Song Zhiyuan: "..."

I don't care!
He walked outside with a stern face.

Yan Li didn't care what he thought at all and followed behind him with a relaxed expression.

After walking about a hundred meters, they arrived at the parking area. Song Zhiyuan said, "Yan Li, I'll leave here. I'll be going now."

"Uncle Song, I came out to say a few words to you. I think that since there is no suitable candidate, you could consider Lin Lang."
