Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 154 Gold Collar Capital, Yang Jingyuan
The main reason why Shen Xingnan was thinking about this was because... Yan Keming called specifically.

The phone call was very simple; it was just a matter of expressing concern for Shen An'an.

But that was enough, because Yan Keming never said that he called Shen An'an out of concern.

It's nothing more than running into each other during the Chinese New Year and exchanging a few polite words.

Yan Keming's actions suddenly awakened Shen Xingnan.

How valuable is Shen An'an now?
To put it bluntly, taking money to manipulate the market is indeed illegal.

But... there are plenty of ways.

While I can't say I can completely avoid it, I can at least avoid 99% of the risks.

Moreover, as long as they are in Tianshui County, no one can do anything to Shen An'an without solid evidence.

Even if we take a step back and don't make this money, which listed company would dare to mess with us?
As long as Shen An'an buys the stocks...

Metaphysics is certainly unfounded, but most people hold it in great awe.

Especially things related to money.

As Shen An'an's fame skyrockets, every stock she buys next will be hammered down by the market.

Until the market dismantles the mystical elements associated with her.

If this barrier cannot be broken, then this shadow will continue to loom over the capital market.

In the capital market, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan is not considered a large sum of money.

Especially in the stock market, others frantically pour tens or hundreds of millions into the market to manipulate sentiment, but it's not as effective as Shen An'an releasing a video that reveals almost no information.

The result is predictable.

There are definitely many fake private messages in Shen An'an's backend, but those fake messages also reflect value.

This is a very sharp sword that can be invincible in a short period of time, and it becomes sharper the more it is honed.

However, problems will also arise. For example, Yan Keming's side has most likely already taken notice of this matter.

He has an advantage over others; if he wants Shen An'an to cooperate, he can simply go through the relatives' route.

But then, Shen An'an would become their complete puppet.

Whether it's good or bad, Shen Xingnan doesn't know yet, but he knows that his daughter is different now.

……

Lin Lang saw the video Shen An'an posted and immediately sent her a message, "Summoned?"

"Ah."

"It's alright, it's alright. Being summoned just proves to you that this matter has nothing to do with you."

Lin Lang knew very well that if the whole thing was to be considered illegal, it was actually his cooperation with Wang Wei and Gu Yusheng. Even though their total shareholding was less than 5%, it could still be considered market manipulation.

Essentially, it's the same as sharing a video with a friend; it can be considered spreading obscenity and pornography, but nobody cares.

Those acting in concert hold less than 5% of the stake, so even if they are punished, it will at most be a verbal warning.

Only when it exceeds 5% will it become a major issue, which is tantamount to challenging the fundamental principles of the securities market.

In the most serious cases, the profits will be confiscated, and a double fine will be imposed, or even a ban from entering the market.

In fact, this kind of thing is just like selling pornographic films. As long as you don't get caught red-handed, nothing will happen, because this kind of thing is quite common.

Especially in some small-cap stocks.

But if you get caught, that's a big deal.

In any case, it's impossible to say that Shen An'an manipulated the market. Mystical market control? This evidence is not enough to be used as grounds for filing a case.

It's highly likely that there were many people calling the police, plus someone died.

Shen An'an: "Won't this leave a criminal record?"

"what?"

What if my child can't pass the civil service exam in the future?

"Oh? How about this, you forward this message to your WeChat Moments and I'll get your criminal record cleared."

"Really? Forward what?"

"I'll send it to you..."

Lin Lang quickly sent Shen An'an the link to Tianjin Capital's new product fundraising, asking her to post it on her WeChat Moments.

Shen An'an quickly asked, "My cousin's company?"

"Yes, after all, he's my old classmate. I couldn't refuse his help in advertising."

"Oh... I've forwarded it."

Lin Lang opened Shen An'an's WeChat Moments and glanced at it. When she reposted it, she even wrote a reason for reposting it.

"Don't buy it! You won't make money following her! I was forced to share this because I was pressured!"

At this moment, Shen An'an replied again: "Anyway, I forwarded it as you asked, and you didn't restrict me from saying nice things."

"No problem, that's enough. I'll use my extensive connections right away to get your criminal record cleared."

……

The summons incident conveniently became a pretext for Lin Lang's maneuvering.

He directly arranged for marketing accounts to create a script and morally blackmailed the stock market investors.

"Are all stock market investors like this? How could anyone believe in superstitious stock trading? How could anyone go to the police after losing money using superstitious stock trading? The most outrageous thing is that the whole thing was actually filed as a case? Could the reason for the case be that superstitious methods are manipulating the stock market?"

Moral blackmail can be used to win over some allies.

Those who don't accept moral blackmail will help explain.

Of course, this kind of thing won't cause a big fuss. At most, it will garner more support for Shen An'an online and portray her as a victim.

Starting Monday afternoon, Shen An'an's comment section became exceptionally lively.

In particular, her tearful video today saw a surge of 50,000 to 60,000 comments in just a few hours.

As for the number of followers, it officially surpassed 800,000 at 8 PM on Monday.

For niche markets to gain followers, they need to break out of their niche.

Lin Lang had always thought that it would take several more months to create some buzz for Shen An'an, but it happened much faster than he expected, and the extent to which it broke out of the public eye far exceeded his expectations.

The ceiling for Shen An'an's account has been broken; all that's left is to strengthen her persona.

Once a persona is established to a certain extent, there's no need to do anything deliberately; people will automatically associate it with that persona.

Moreover, there are always some commonalities. As long as the persona is strong enough, it's not so easy for it to collapse, and the whole world will gradually begin to make way for it.

……

"An Shen, is that Tianjin Hybrid Selection Fund that you shared on your WeChat Moments your friend's?"

In a WeChat group of seven people, Wang Wei asked a question.

This group was just created last night, mainly because Shen An'an talked to them about the arrangements.

For example, flights can only go to nearby Jiangcheng or Luzhou, and then you can take the high-speed rail directly there.

After getting off the high-speed train, she will be responsible for picking people up at the high-speed train station.

Also, ask about your requirements for the hotel, whether there is anything that needs to be specifically mentioned, or your dietary requirements, such as whether there are any dietary restrictions.

However, none of the people in the group were interested in those things, so when Shen An'an asked, she could answer whatever she wanted.

However, after Shen An'an forwarded a post on her WeChat Moments, they had some questions.

Shen An'an: "No, I just promised someone before, so please pretend you didn't see it."

Wang Wei: "???"

In the past two days, Yang Kaitai has added several people as friends and created a separate group to inquire about their investment.

In another group, Yang Kaitai said, "According to An Xue, An Shen doesn't allow us to buy these things, so shouldn't we go and buy them?"

Wang Wei: "I just checked out Yunjin Capital, which is a newly established company this year. This fund product is their first product, and they just raised funds a few days ago. The fund manager of this fund is not very famous, but the company president is quite special. He is a financial blogger with millions of followers on Douyin, named Yan Zhi You Li."

Ning Jingzhiyuan: "Starting a fund company is quite costly. The most important thing is to have connections. Otherwise, you can't even complete the basic structure, and you won't be able to get approval."

"Yes, Yan Li is very capable. I studied her video content for a while and found that she can analyze things from many different angles. At least in my opinion, her views are all correct, and I even agree with her predictions about the future."

"Wait a minute, I'll go check it out and get back to you."

"it is good."

Apart from Yang Kaitai, everyone else in the group was more or less wary.

Even Wang Yuheng wasn't entirely confident.

Before we knew it, it was late at night.

Almost everyone in the group was awake.

After all, this matter involves money.

They were willing to meet Shen An'an, and even invest in her family's real estate company, for one reason only: they wanted to get to know the person behind Shen An'an—the one behind "Shen An'an's magic wand."

That guy is amazing, especially after we talked and exchanged information, I realized just how capable he is.

Around 11 p.m., Ning Jingzhiyuan said, "I finished watching the video. The video content is very good. It explains the macro thinking of various aspects quite thoroughly. However, I have some doubts. The other party is quite wealthy. Since he has such a broad vision, why would he choose to become an internet celebrity?"

"Isn't she running her own company? She wants to raise funds through the internet. But I looked at the comments section, and not many people are investing. Most of them are just following her because she's pretty."

"That's the problem. The other party shouldn't be unaware of how difficult it is to make money online. If they were well-off, they shouldn't care about a hundred or two hundred million at all. But when I searched on other distribution platforms, I couldn't find their products. They're not even willing to spend on distribution and promotion fees. Overall, it's very inconsistent with their public image."

"Brother's analysis makes sense. There's only one possibility in this situation: the other party has money, but not much. Starting a company is probably already a stretch, and they can't raise 200 million right now, so they can only monetize through their own traffic."

"Yes, there's something else I don't know if you noticed: the other party knows Shen An'an. And what kind of characteristics do we want to meet? First, they shouldn't be too old; older people wouldn't have such a strong internet sense. Second, they shouldn't have too much money, otherwise, given their capabilities, they wouldn't need to contact us specifically. Also, they're a financial expert, strong in both theory and practice. Finally, that person knows Shen An'an..."

There was a full minute of silence in the group chat.

After these conditions were met, they found that Yan Li seemed to have fulfilled them completely.

She's young, which is evident from her frantic promotion of the fund on her homepage. She doesn't have much money, and her videos demonstrate her financial acumen, plus her acquaintance with Shen An'an.

Otherwise, Shen An'an wouldn't have forwarded her fund's fundraising information.

Wang Wei said, "The other party is also a master of self-media, which can be seen from the way they operate Shen An'an's account."

With his addition, there are now a total of five related points.

"Is Shen An'an's magic wand the same as Yan Li's?"

"That's quite possible. If so, then adding An Xue to the mix..."

"It should be true. After all, we've only chatted with Shen An'an and rarely commented. The fact that the magic wand could accurately message us means it must have access to Shen An'an's account. The two definitely know each other, and the fact that she's showing us her power is most likely an attempt to get us to invest in her fund."

Normally, this group of people would never buy funds.

Buying into those big players' funds, which often have a scale of tens of billions, is too inefficient overall.

They don't feel comfortable buying small funds at all, worrying that those funds might play with their money.

In the eyes of truly wealthy people, mutual funds are no different from a scam.

But they hesitated when presented with the opportunity to buy funds.

"Yang Kaitai, what did you say? Do you still want to buy it?"

"Of course I'll buy it. An Shen said not to buy it, but I'm definitely going to buy some. I'm prepared to take out 100 million and buy the rest."

"????"

Wang Wei and the others were dumbfounded.

It's a bit unclear for the time being whether Yang Kaitai was hired by the fairy wand behind the scenes.

This guy looks way too much like a shill.

But is he really willing to buy the genuine article?
If that magic wand has hundreds of millions of dollars, it's not short of money at all, so why would it need to hire a shill like Yang Kaitai?

After all, they knew how much money Yang Kaitai had, and they had verified it.

Unless, Yang Kaitai's side fabricated the evidence.

Just then, Ning Jingzhiyuan said, "Yang Kaitai, after you buy, could you let me log into your account?"

Yang Kaitai: "What are you trying to do? We're not that close yet, are we? If you really want to see it, you'll have something to see when we meet."

Ning Jingzhiyuan: "The fundraising phase for this fund will end on December 8th. I can give you something to prove my identity, and I will definitely not let your account have any problems."

After saying that, the other person took a selfie and posted it in the group chat along with their business card.

"Golden Collar Capital, Yang Jingyuan".

Wang Wei was stunned when he saw that familiar face.

Golden Collar Capital is a leading institution in the country, but they mainly focus on investment.

This Yang Jingyuan is the CEO of Golden Collar Capital, with a net worth of over 10 billion yuan.

He didn't expect there to be this guy in the group.

However, Yang Kaitai glanced at it and said, "Yang Jingyuan? Who is that? Someone from my Yang family? I've never heard of a relative like you."
