Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 163 Six billion before tax, would he be tempted?

"Lin Lang, I have something I want to ask you. Can you answer it seriously?"

"When have I ever not been serious? Including what I just said, that was also a serious statement."

“I can’t tell if those words are true or false. Tianjin Capital’s first product has already raised 1 billion yuan. I want your team to help me… Of course, if you say that team doesn’t exist, then pretend I didn’t ask.”

Yan Li believed she could do it too, but she wasn't blindly optimistic.

She knew she was definitely not good at trading, and the consultants and traders the company hired were basically useless.

Truly skilled traders and analysts wouldn't work for her company.

She only dared to say that she could keep the company running; whether it made money or lost money was basically beyond her control.

"Don't think about these things. I'll handle the trading on Monday."

Since Yan Li believed in the existence of that disguise, Lin Lang decided not to take it off.

Having a disguise gives him more freedom to act.

"How much do you want?"

"Even if I asked for the money, how would you give it to me? I can't sign a contract with you, and you don't have much money right now. Didn't we agree to sign a performance-based agreement?"

Talking about money is pointless, firstly because Yan Li can't provide it.

"The betting agreement doesn't seem to have caused me any loss."

Yanli has always adhered to the principle that good things are always expensive.

"If you really want to lose something, come to my room tonight."

Yan Li: "..."

Just after Lin Lang made a joke, his phone suddenly rang.

A call came in from an unknown number. After answering, the person on the other end said, "Is this Mr. Lin Lang? I'm from Dingxin Investment Company. Are you free in Shanghai?"

Lin Lang frowned and asked, "I am Lin Lang, what can I do for you?"

"Well, our company would like to discuss some potential collaborations with you. Do you have a spare moment?"

Could you elaborate on the specific areas of cooperation?

"We are very interested in your Big Fish Media and would like to invest in it. Of course, our boss is also very interested in you, Mr. Lin Lang, and would like to have a chat with you... Our boss is on his way to Shanghai now. If it's convenient, how about we have lunch together?"

Lin Lang considered for a moment and said, "Okay, you can send me your location information later."

After saying that, Lin Lang hung up the phone.

When Yan Li saw Lin Lang answering the phone, she walked away.

After hearing no more noise, Yan Li returned and asked, "I'm free at noon, how about we have lunch together?"

She actually heard what Lin Lang said, but she wouldn't directly ask him what he wanted to do, as that would put pressure on him.

For example, no matter what you do, there's always someone around you asking how it's going.

Or, you might just say something and people will ask who you ate with and what you talked about.

People have a natural need for privacy. Asking questions too bluntly can make people feel like they are being constantly spied on, which can become annoying over time.

Lin Lang said with a smile, "I'm afraid we won't be able to eat there. I have an appointment for lunch."

"Oh, then I'll bring Mi Xiaofan along?"

Don't you want to know who asked me out?

"hold head high……"

Dingxin Investment Company.

Yan Li: "..."

She heard correctly...

Because Lin Lang didn't turn on the speakerphone, even though her hearing was quite good, she couldn't hear very clearly and only vaguely heard that it was some kind of investment company.

This is my dad's company.

Lin Lang continued, "Their boss, for some reason, found out about Big Fish Media and said he wanted to invest in us."

Yan Li was already getting anxious.

"Are you going?" Yan Li asked.

She didn't know what her father's purpose was in meeting Lin Lang, but there were only two possibilities.

Or perhaps they've set their sights on Big Fish Media and want to invest in it.

Either they knew about Lin Lang's team and wanted to steal the job.

After all, Shen An'an's situation had caused quite a stir. His father's financial acumen was definitely stronger than his own, and it was too easy for him to find out information. It was only natural that he knew that Lin Lang had a team behind him.

“Go for it. After all, it’s such a great opportunity. Dingxin Investment Company has even used their teaching materials.”

For professional courses related to investment, many of the materials are case studies found globally. Basically, the cases used in the materials are all very typical examples.

"Well, then you definitely won't have time to take Mi Xiaofan out for lunch. I'll take her out at noon, so you won't have to worry about her."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

Lin Lang wasn't entirely clear on the matter either. What if they were just offering him money? He might as well take it.

Just because Qin Dong can't accept his values ​​doesn't mean other investment companies can't.

To put it bluntly, this is all Qin Dong has ever done in his life. The resources he has are mostly unsavory, and he tends to use unscrupulous methods.

Their main source of income is still tied to the local area.

Dingxin Investment Company is different. They can invest in any company they like, whether it's in Shanghai or Hangzhou, and they have a strong ability to withstand risks.

The goal isn't to earn a pittance.

For example, Dingxin Investment Company invested in Mr. Jia. Even if Mr. Jia walked up to Qin Dong, Qin Dong would not dare to invest money because he was just a pure PowerPoint presentation.

For Mr. Jia, not investing would definitely have been the right thing to do.

But looking at today's business tycoons, how many of them were not even as good as Jia Yueting at the beginning?

They succeeded, bringing investors returns of thousands or even tens of thousands of times.

After Mi Xiaofan came out, Lin Lang immediately began to construct a scene for her.

Mi Xiaofan, with her hair still wet after taking a shower, was the perfect subject for taking some blurry photos.

Afterwards, you can go into the bathtub, wear the hotel bathrobe, and film a video of yourself just emerging from the bath.

Yan Li stood beside him, feeling somewhat lost.

If his father was only investing in Big Fish Media, that would be fine. Lin Lang probably wanted to invest as well, to make it easier for him to expand his company.

But what if it's for Lin Lang's team?
Even if that team didn't come, at least Lin Lang did, and he would definitely do a better job than I did.

Lin Lang only wants the betting agreement and not money, doesn't that mean he knows he doesn't have any money?

As for money, his father had it.

If his father is willing, he can come up with 20 billion in cash without any problem. There are plenty of banks willing to give him money, and he can also use the things he controls as collateral to get a lot of cash.

Moreover, uncovering the team behind Lin Lang wouldn't cost much at all.

Three hundred million or five hundred million is a sum of money that his father could easily come up with at any time.

Yan Li felt that her father was more likely to target that team.

She knew her father's investment style well; Big Fish Media, located in Tianshui County, a small county, was basically not within his consideration.

In addition, being a media company, it lacked impressive technology and a disruptive business model, which clashed with its father's investment style.

"Yan Li, come help me film this video. There's glare here, making it difficult to edit later," Lin Lang called her over to help film it.

Yan Li sensed Lin Lang's professionalism because the reflection would show his image in the picture. If it wasn't cleaned up in post-production, it might be discovered by someone.

The video of Mi Xiaofan emerging from the shower was actually filmed by a male photographer?
This kind of thing will seriously affect Mi Xiaofan's public image.

For beauty influencers, they can be innocent, they can be provocative, and they don't care how much they push the boundaries in their videos.

However, you cannot show any ambiguity in your relationship with a particular man...

By the time we finished filming, it was already 11 o'clock.

Lin Lang glanced at the time and then at the message, and said, "I'll be leaving now. You can go back to our hotel after lunch."

What time will you be back?

"I'll head back when we're done chatting."

……

About half an hour later, Lin Lang drove to the location where Yan Keming's secretary had posted.

The other party was already waiting at the door.

"Mr. Lin? I'm Mr. Yan's secretary. I'll arrange for someone to park your car. I'll take you to the private room first."

"Okay, trouble."

Lin Lang handed over the car keys, and the other party immediately found the hotel staff to arrange for someone to park the car. Then, he quickly ran to the elevator and pressed the elevator button.

The other person came in after Lin Lang entered the elevator.

After entering and pressing the elevator button, the person on the other end asked, "Mr. Lin, this place mainly serves Cantonese cuisine. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"No."

"What would you like to drink?"

"Just boiled water."

"Okay, if you have any other requests, please let me know. If the dishes here don't suit your taste, I can also arrange for the kitchen to prepare something else..."

"No need for that, this will do."

The private room was on the third floor. As they were talking, the two arrived at the door. The other person pushed open the door and said, "Mr. Lin, please."

Lin Lang walked in and saw a handsome middle-aged man.

The other person had a head of black hair with some white hairs mixed in, and sitting there, they exuded a powerful aura.

Aura is something that can only be cultivated through experience.

Lin Lang felt that he had no presence right now.

When Yan Keming saw Lin Lang enter, he stood up and said with a smile, "President Lin, I've heard so much about you."

Lin Lang hurried over, extended his hand, and said, "President Yan, you're too kind. I've long admired your reputation. I studied the case of Dingxin Investment Company in college. I'm flattered to receive your call..."

"Haha, it's quite a coincidence, the Shen An'an that your company is working on is my niece."

Yan Keming made his purpose clear from the start.

Lin Lang said, "It's about mutual benefit. Our company mainly focuses on cooperation; we don't have the capability to sign contracts directly."

"That's too modest. Your Big Fish Media is very profitable. I had someone investigate it. You've already established a competitive advantage in just a few months. Your company has a lot of potential for the future."

"These are all small businesses, not really a moat, we were just lucky."

The two sat down amidst their conversation and laughter.

Lin Lang acted very humbly, showing great respect to Yan Keming, this big shot.

Yan Keming also showed great enthusiasm. After all, he had come in person, so he was determined to do things well; otherwise, it would be disrespectful to his own time.

After he sat down, the secretary poured Lin Lang a glass of hot water, then quietly left and closed the door.

Yan Keming spoke up, "President Lin, you should also know Yan Li, right?"

"Let's get to know each other, Yan Li is your..."

"It's my daughter."

"What a coincidence! I never expected that I would have this connection with President Yan."

Lin Lang's behavior was fairly normal, after all, he really didn't know Yan Li's father's name during his university years.

Many things I only gradually came into contact with after graduation.

At this moment, Yan Keming spoke up: "President Lin, let me get straight to the point. The main reason I called you here is that I'm interested in your company's financial advisory team. May I ask if you lead that team?"

"Yes."

"I think it's a bit of a waste to use such a strong team only for media. I happen to have a private equity firm here, and I'd like to invite your team to join my firm. I can offer you the same rates as top-tier teams in China. As long as you pass the assessment, your entire team's annual salary will start at 200 million..."

There are many negotiation techniques, but in Yan Keming's view, throwing money at a young man like Lin Lang is the most effective way to deal with him.

Unlike some seasoned veterans who directly quote prices, making it easy for the other party to see through their bottom line.

Lin Lang was confident that he could deal with the other party.

He didn't say he'd give it to Lin Lang directly; there were conditions attached. After he offered a price, he could get to know Lin Lang's team as much as possible.

……

"Mi Xiaofan, let me ask you a question. If someone offered your boss 100 million yuan to work for them for a year, do you think your boss would agree?"

While they were eating, Yan Li asked a question.

When Mi Xiaofan heard the word "one hundred million", she didn't react for a moment.

Because for her, that number was too big.

It was so big that she couldn't even imagine it.

A few million is already a huge sum of money for her, but what about hundreds of millions?

Still 100 million a year?

What about ten years? Wouldn't that be a billion?
Yan Li didn't get a reply from Mi Xiaofan, and continued to say to herself, "One hundred million should be more than that, maybe two hundred million... Do you think your boss would be tempted by two hundred million?"

For Yan Li, money cannot measure freedom.

But it's different for others.

So, she wanted to ask Mi Xiaofan.

What Mi Xiaofan was thinking was probably similar to what Lin Lang was thinking.

Mi Xiaofan asked, "Two hundred million a year?"

"Yes! Two hundred million a year. Given your boss's age, he can easily make at least six billion before taxes after working for thirty years. Would he be tempted?"

Mi Xiaofan: "..."

How did it suddenly become six billion?

Six billion, how much money is that?

She really couldn't answer, because she couldn't visualize that many zeros in her mind.

But she knew that it was money she could never spend in a lifetime.

As before, before she could answer, Yan Li muttered to herself, "He'll definitely be tempted, he'll definitely want that money..."

Yan Li did not doubt whether Lin Lang had the ability to take the money, because the basis of this matter was that Lin Lang had that ability.
