Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 162 The light was too dim last night

The two sat in the car without saying a word.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, Lin Lang suddenly said, "Have you practiced this before?"

"what?"

"Let's go, be careful on the road."

Yan Li watched Lin Lang's departing figure and couldn't help but chuckle.

What kind of training did she undergo? Is she fair and tender, and has a good shape?

How can you train for that? You're just born with it.

She didn't linger there long; she drove back to the hotel in less than twenty minutes.

As soon as I got back to the hotel and took out my phone, I saw a message from Lin Lang.

"Don't rush to check out tomorrow. It's a room that cost tens of thousands of yuan. Let me borrow it tomorrow to shoot some footage."

"Row!"

It does cost tens of thousands of yuan. The room she booked was quite nice and cost 58,000 yuan.

This kind of spending is something she doesn't often do, even for herself.

Overall, it's alright; she has little desire to consume luxury goods and finds them uninteresting.

Now that the fund has reached one billion, she has finally taken the most important step.

Even if Lin Lang's team doesn't come, she won't stop moving forward.

You can do it yourself!
She did act impulsively today. After she came back, she thought about it and realized that it was probably because she took that first solid step that her heart changed.

She used to be very careful about having too much physical contact with others. Even though she had many friends, she would only touch each other's hands unintentionally when handing things over. Whether it was putting her arm around the waist, putting her arm around the shoulder, or even holding hands, she had never done such things with anyone other than Lin Lang.

After all, according to her previous life plan, she herself was a very important asset.

The purer it is, the higher the price.

Not many people like a woman who has a bunch of ex-boyfriends and has no principles when it comes to her friends.

Even if someone has some unusual hobbies, it doesn't mean they actually like them.

However, she has now begun to gradually break away from her previous lifestyle. She has started to take control of her health, rather than relying on others' expectations of her.

……

Yan Keming was busy until very late, mainly because some unexpected situations had arisen.

The boss of one of the companies he invested in has absconded, and he keeps saying online that he'll be returning to China next week.

The other party does indeed have a very high popularity on the Internet. After announcing its entry into the new energy vehicle field, the domestic capital market has invested a lot of money in it.

Yan Keming's investment company has invested over a billion yuan in total.

But that boss has been in the United States for over a year and hasn't come back.

As the debts of the boss's parent company gradually came due, the stock price plummeted, and the situation worsened.

On Friday afternoon, he attended a meeting to advocate for investors in FF Motors. The meeting lasted until late, but no good results were reached in the end.

After all, I'm in the US, so I can't use any of those methods right now.

For Yan Keming, a direct loss of over a billion yuan is a very serious matter. After all, even if he usually loses money, he can usually recover some of it along the way, and even if the company goes bankrupt, he can still salvage something.

The overall loss will be at most 70%.
But now, those billions are worthless.

FF's car factory is overseas, the team is overseas, everything is overseas.

Moreover, they have only just started, and haven't produced a single car yet. They don't have any assets in China that they can use to seek redress.

Although his investment company has a scale of tens of billions, part of it is leveraged, and a large part of it is other people's money.

Investing in the primary market is different from investing in the secondary market. Secondary market investments are generally in stocks and bonds, which have better liquidity but less room for growth. Although the risk is slightly lower, the profit rate is not high.

Investing in the primary market is different; it mainly involves corporate equity. Although the risks are high, as long as you choose the right direction, a hundredfold return is not a dream.

In the industry, returns of a thousand times or even ten thousand times have been recorded, and hundreds of times are even more common.

Even if you invest in a hundred projects and only five succeed, the returns can easily be ten or twenty times higher, which is enough to cover all the losses.

According to this data, the success rate of investments by Yan Keming's investment company has consistently been around 7%.

Moreover, investing in the primary market can bring many benefits, such as increased social status and influence after becoming a shareholder of certain large companies.

These are things you could never achieve even in a lifetime of playing the stock market.

The only way to achieve these goals in the stock market is to acquire a controlling stake in a listed company. Acquiring a controlling stake in a listed company not only consumes a large amount of cash flow and wastes the cost of using funds, but also has a high probability of resulting in losses.

In addition, the rights and interests of listed companies have already been largely divided up, so even if a shareholding is acquired, it is difficult to integrate into the group.

A new company means new rights and interests in all aspects.

New vested interests, new industrial structure, new market direction, new economic growth...

After a hectic day, I finally remembered Yan Li's situation when I got back.

He didn't take Yan Li's side seriously at all; it was just a minor skirmish.

However, in order to save time, he called Shen Xingnan in advance and asked him to find an excuse to delay so that Yan Li could not successfully raise funds.

If fundraising fails, Tianjin Capital will have no reason to exist, and Yan Li can return to continue down the path he had previously planned.

However, after opening Tianjin Capital's official website, he discovered something was wrong.

Fundraising successful?

Did Yan Li manage to borrow money at the last minute?

Such a strong determination? Willing to borrow money from outsiders just to make it happen?

He frowned. Successful fundraising meant that things would be delayed for several more months.

Two hundred million yuan is practically useless...

"Huh? A billion?"

"Why are there so many?"

He immediately called his ex-wife, "Did you give Lili the money?"

"You saw that the fundraising was successful?"

"Ah."

"Even if I wanted to take it, I wouldn't have that much on hand. I don't know how Lili did it. I've been watching closely, and suddenly there was a huge increase in subscriptions after 2:30. You've already stopped her so many times, shouldn't you respect her choice now?"

“Respecting her choice is the greatest disrespect to her life. These two years are crucial for her; if she misses them, her advantages will begin to decline.”

"You can't always think about raising your daughter to be a socialite. She's quite capable on her own. Can't she make her own way in the world?"

Yan Keming: "Her abilities? Her abilities are worthless compared to her looks! For an ordinary person, her abilities would definitely be enough to earn a million-dollar annual salary, or even potentially several million, which would be a life-changing achievement. But for our daughter, are those abilities important? What's the point of her earning one or two million a year?"

"Anyway, whatever you say is right, and no one dares to contradict you."

Yan Keming frowned.

His divorce from Chen Lin was not actually made public, even though many people knew about it. The reason for the divorce was simple: Chen Lin was unwilling to remain a university professor; she wanted to earn her own money.

In Yan Keming's view, Yan Li perfectly inherited her personality.

Indeed, Chen Lin's income is not low, estimated to be over ten million yuan a year, but what is the reality?
In Yan Keming's eyes, is more than ten million yuan a lot of money?

Moreover, at the time, there was no way to prove whether the foreign bank hired Chen Lin because of her abilities or because of the Yan family. In order to avoid trouble, there was no other way but to get a divorce.

He sent Gao Yu a message asking, "Where did Lin Lang go?"

"When I went to the high-speed rail station with him, I checked the schedule for several high-speed trains at that time. Around 2 p.m., I asked him and he said he hadn't gotten off yet, so he must be in Shanghai."

"Okay, you can come back once I've finished my business here."

"Ah."

Gao Yu looked at the documents in her hand and at the busy things that had happened that day.

She was amazed by the entire structure of Big Fish Media; she could see the company growing almost every day.

Despite its simple architecture, it possesses remarkable vitality.

Stable traffic monetization and stable scale expansion.

If Lin Lang hadn't diverted some business operations, Big Fish Media, which had only been established for two or three months, would not only have had a net profit of two or three million yuan per month, but would also have been able to increase its contract revenue by more than ten million yuan.

This company is truly amazing. In just a few months, it has reached its current scale. Moreover, she could see that Lin Lang's plan was very clear and reasonable. At least he didn't tamper with the contracts, which meant that the contract payments would basically be in place.

How can a small company with only twenty people achieve annual revenue of over 100 million?

Gao Yu actually didn't want to leave...

On the one hand, it's close to home, which is in the next county; on the other hand, this company has great potential.

Although Yan Keming's investment company had a high starting point, it didn't give her much room to maneuver. She just followed orders and did what she was told every day. Even if she worked there her whole life, she would just be a pure wage earner.

And here? Before leaving, Lin Lang handed over the entire company to her.

Although she rarely needs to make decisions, she at least has the opportunity to see the overall structure of the company and to lead some operations.

In large companies, you can forget about having such a platform.

Although she often helped Yan Keming with the screening process, in reality... she was only qualified to help Yan Keming filter out proposals that were obviously rubbish. The real core power was something she would hardly ever touch in her entire life.

In just two weeks at Big Fish Media, she felt that her thinking had begun to change.

This was the scene she had always dreamed of.

……

Around 7 a.m., Lin Lang brought Mi Xiaofan to the sky hotel and then called Yan Li to get up and make room for him.

Yan Li didn't sleep well, but since Lin Lang had come, there was nothing she could do.

She went downstairs to meet the two of them, then went to wash up, leaving them to do whatever they wanted in the bedroom.

She knew that in Shanghai, there were many fake socialites who liked to try and book five-star hotels.

It's just a few dozen people, each contributing one or two hundred yuan to book a room in a top luxury hotel, and then they go in to take pictures.

After the photos are taken, someone else comes over. A small dessert and a cup of coffee are enough to serve as props for dozens of people.

After taking the photos, you can rent out the room for the remaining time.

Such room sharing is very popular in Shanghai.

But she never thought she would have to go through it herself.

After she finished washing up, she came out and saw Lin Lang taking pictures of Mi Xiaofan in front of the French windows.

Mi Xiaofan was wearing beige plush pajamas with the neckline slightly open, revealing a semi-circular curve. She was barefoot on the floor, with a cup of coffee next to her.

Lin Lang can truly bring out a person's sexiness to the extreme. He doesn't even need Mi Xiaofan to be particularly beautiful. Even if he replaced her with someone less attractive, Lin Lang could still capture the essence of the role.

However, many female internet celebrities dare not go offline, because they would immediately be exposed and fail.

Even as an observer, Yan Li could feel the sexiness emanating from Mi Xiaofan's very being, even without seeing it through the camera lens.

The pajamas hanging on the shoulders are just right; any more would be too revealing, and any less would fail to create a strong visual impact.

Lin Lang, that guy, eats way too well.

No wonder it was so peaceful last night.

Is saying it's inconvenient to get off the bus just a tactic? Is he trying to save face?
After all, if you don't show something, you'll seem unattractive.

Yes, that's very likely the case.

This guy is absolutely capable of doing something like that.

"Go take a shower, but don't dry your hair. Listen to my instructions later."

After Lin Lang helped Mi Xiaofan film the first video, he started arranging other things.

I'll definitely take a couple more photos and use them later.

Netizens don't have much of a memory, so if it's released in a few months, they'll definitely think it's a newly filmed one.

"Good boss."

Mi Xiaofan quickly went to the bathroom.

Yan Li came to Lin Lang's side and, seeing Lin Lang adjusting some images in the camera, asked, "Mi Xiaofan has a really good figure."

"It's not as good as yours."

Lin Lang replied instinctively.

In his opinion, Yan Li's figure, while not having any particularly exaggerated eye-catching features such as an exceptionally large bust, was absolutely impeccable in terms of overall proportion and shape.

“I’ve been trained since I was a child. You have no idea how much freedom I have even when I’m sitting.”

Yan Li still feels a little scared when she thinks back to the courses she took as a child.

She had almost no childhood; aside from studying, most of her time was filled with various classes.

From posture to walking, to facial expressions and movements...

Even if one tooth is slightly misaligned, they will immediately get it corrected.

She can't eat anything she wants, and she can't be like other children, doing whatever makes her comfortable.

Unlike Mi Xiaofan, who certainly didn't have the same advantages, Mi Xiaofan's success is purely due to her talent.

In terms of talent, she might not be better than Mi Xiaofan.

"What's the big deal? Others want the same conditions as you but don't."

Yan Li smiled and leaned close to Lin Lang's ear, whispering, "Is mine prettier, or is Mi Xiaofan's prettier?"

Lin Lang: "..."

With a turn of her head, she was almost face-to-face with Yan Li; with a lowered head, she was right at the collar of his trench coat.

"The light was too dim last night, so I couldn't see it clearly. Now that the light is better, can I take another look? I promise to give a fair and objective evaluation!"
