Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 216: Colleagues are enemies

Yan Li thought he should advance by retreating.

When she called Lin Lang, she learned that the funds in the market today mainly came from users who were unable to buy Tianjin Hybrid Selection after the purchase restrictions, plus retail investors on the market.

Today's proactive opening of the gap has induced short-selling sentiment to be released. However, because of the previous profit-making effect, even if people sell their stocks, those funds will still pay attention to these stocks and seek more suitable entry opportunities.

Meanwhile, those with large sums of money became the main force stabilizing the market after the purchase restrictions were imposed, and they kept the market in stalemate until the afternoon. Short sellers who had left the market in the morning rushed in and sealed the market.

Lin Lang said very little, but after he revealed the core information, Yan Li was able to connect all the previous details in an instant.

At this moment, she also understood why Lin Lang hadn't taken the opportunity to leave last Tuesday, even though he clearly had one.

Lin Lang also had the opportunity to leave today, but he didn't leave either.

He had calculated everything perfectly: every market sentiment, every market trend, every external factor...

From the moment Tianjin Capital's holdings were made public, it seemed as if today's outcome was already predetermined.

She simply couldn't think of these things, and no one else could either.

His own father has most likely figured things out now and has come specifically to demand his return.

There was only one way for her to dissuade her father from poaching her talent: she had to take the initiative to let him...

Perhaps influenced by Lin Lang, her way of thinking has also changed to some extent.

Previously, she dared not have any ulterior motives towards her father and basically respected the family's will completely. Even when preparing for Tianjin Capital, she was very cautious.

But now, with Tianjin Capital backing her, she is gradually beginning to break free from the influence of her family.

His father knew of Lin Lang's existence, but he was absolutely not 100% certain that this whole thing was Lin Lang's doing.

Lin Lang wouldn't tell anyone these things, thus leaving himself room to maneuver.

Try to get your dad to lower his expectations.

The more you try to hide it, the higher the expectations will become. It's better to just state the price openly.

After all, everyone has a certain standard for judging their own value, especially those with scarce abilities, who certainly wouldn't sell themselves cheaply.

Offering 500 million is equivalent to setting the ceiling for expectations at that price. Whenever it comes to negotiating, the price will definitely be reduced to within 500 million.

Five hundred million? Is that Lin Lang's net worth?
If Lin Lang's net worth was only 500 million, would his father have returned from Hangzhou overnight?
After Yan Li mentioned a price of 500 million, it was like selling Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs on the roadside, and they were sold by the half-pound each.

Those in the know understand that this size of fruit would fetch no less than 200 yuan per kilogram in the market, but when I asked about the price before, they only offered 140 yuan.

Although the price was still not cheap, and still much more expensive than the price of ordinary hairy crabs, he had prepared to buy them for more than 200 yuan per catty, but suddenly they came up for 140 yuan.

At this moment, the first thought that comes to mind is...

"Are these crabs from Yangcheng Lake? Are they 'bathing crabs' (crabs that have been 'washed' in the lake)?"

After hearing Yan Li's words, Yan Keming said, "Can you make decisions for Lin Lang?"

“Sure, he’s been complaining about the low salary at Tianjin Capital for a long time. With his abilities, he can definitely earn more outside. I’ve already told him that I’ll introduce him to some bigger platforms in the future.”

Yan Keming: "..."

What is this all about?

Is Tianjin Capital's platform still too small?

Not only did they acquire 40% of the equity, but the scale also exceeded 20 billion, and it's heading towards 30 billion.

The salary might be a bit low, but the value of the equity has been steadily increasing.

Although Tianjin Capital has only been established for a short time and no institution can give an accurate valuation yet, its annual revenue is over 300 million yuan based on its scale of over 20 billion yuan.

Even if the net profit is only 100 million, and even if only a PE ratio of 10 is given, Tianjin Capital is now valued at 1 billion without any problem. There are plenty of people who are eager to get in.

Lin Lang's shares are already worth 400 million, and he still thinks he's not making money?

Lin Lang isn't stupid. Under these circumstances, his desire to earn an annual salary of 500 million yuan outside indicates that his expectations at Tianjin Capital are that he won't earn that much in a year, or even that much.

What caused this?

Either this operation by Tianjin Capital was purely a fluke, and Lin Lang himself probably didn't expect such an outcome, so he lacks the confidence to try it a second time.

Another possibility is that Lin Lang's success was not a major factor in this operation, and the real core may not have been Lin Lang.

Regardless of the method, giving out 500 million a year would result in a huge loss for oneself.

Five hundred million is a salary only the top teams in the global financial industry receive.

Liang Wenyuan is an exception. His team is so well-rounded that a salary of 2 billion yuan a year wouldn't be excessive, given that his team has more than 60 members, all of whom are paid top salaries. Even the core members are paid at least 8 million yuan a year.

As for Lin Lang, so far, only he has shown up.

Yan Keming returned full of excitement, only to suddenly feel as if he had punched cotton.

Expectations for Lin Lang plummeted.

"I came back this time mainly to see you. Liang Wenyuan of Wuliang Capital said he wanted to come to Shanghai to meet you. He is a very capable person."

"Founder of Wuliang Capital?"

"Yes, let me know when you're free, and I'll reply to him."

“Okay, that's perfect, I can talk to him then. If you don't need anyone, Dad, then we can only ask him if he's interested... Lin Lang is very capable, he's totally worth an annual salary of over 100 million…”

Yan Keming: "..."

So you make hundreds of millions a year? How dare you ask me for 500 million? Is this even in the same league?
There might be a difference of half a level between 1,000 and 5,000, a difference of one level between 10,000 and 50,000, and a difference of at least five or six levels between 100 million and 500 million.

It looks like Lin Lang went to Tianjin Capital to "gild his resume" before coming out to swindle people.

"You guys can talk later... I'm a little tired, I'll go back and rest first."

Yan Keming left Yan Li's room.

Before he came, he had already thought of many excuses to get people from Yan Li.

But... I lost interest as we talked.

After seeing his father off, Yan Li closed the door and made a phone call to Lin Lang.

“My dad came all the way back from Hangzhou late at night specifically to ask about today’s market, but I think his real intention isn’t what he’s after; he’s actually interested in you…”

"No, no, no, I don't like men, I only like beautiful women."

Yan Li said with a smile, "I told him that I could poach you with an annual salary of 500 million, but he didn't mention it again after that."

"No way, I could really go for 500 million."

"Really?"

"That's fake. How much is Tianjin Capital worth now? By the way, how much of our own capital do we have now?"

"Last time we redeemed more than 2 billion. With the increase in size, there are many redemptions every day. Now our own funds should be more than 500 million."

Yan Li only knew a rough estimate, since the funds were fluctuating. It only took half a month to go from 80 million to 500 million.

What outsiders probably don't know is that Tianjin Capital has invested all of its own funds in it and has been making money from it all along.

Management fees are only a small part of the income; investment income is the main source, followed by redemption fees...

Lin Lang: "Five hundred million? Then other places would have to offer me an annual salary of at least one billion before I can leave."

Yan Li: "...Perhaps there really is a company that can offer you this price."

"No, I didn't stand up openly. Only your dad knows a little bit about it. Others can't offer much."

“Wuliang Capital, do you know them? Their CEO said he wants to meet with me.”

"Doing quantitative analysis?"

"Ah."

"Speaking of which, I just remembered that our company's quantitative department should be established as soon as possible. Don't be afraid to spend money. We can recruit hundreds of top talents with annual salaries of tens of millions. What's so fun about private equity?"

"Quantitative trading cannot be used in public funds."

"Who's in charge? There shouldn't be any problem with data analysis, right? Let's put this on the agenda. I'll personally lead the quantitative team."

Yan Li's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Is this guy going to stay?

All you need to do is assign him a quantitative team?
“Sure, no problem, I’ll start arranging it right away. But… you really don’t want to talk to Wuliang Capital? You two are probably the same kind of people.”

"What's the point of chatting? Rivals are competitors. Just take Tianjin Capital and go after them like crazy. Take as much as you can... I don't care about being famous in Shanghai, as long as I have money..."

Lin Lang's involvement in finance was mainly due to the opportune moment, and finance is also the foundation of the industry.

He can't do what he wants without money.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Lang prepared to take a shower and go to bed.

Today's market movement was indeed expected, but it wasn't 100% certain; he simply did everything he could.

The next few trading days should be much smoother, but we still need to carefully consider how to exit the market after this round of market activity.

There's no other reason; he's just greedy!

They want to seize all the profits from this round!

With this round of embezzlement successfully completed, Tianjin Capital can finally be considered truly established and officially on the right track.

……

16th floor.

Fu Xueqing did not leave with Wang Wei and the others, and stayed at the hotel.

It was very late, and she was still on the phone.

On the phone, Yang Jingyuan said, "In Xueqing, your uncles know about this. If they call you, don't answer, and don't tell them your location. Wait until the profits from Tianjin Capital arrive..."

"Also, have a good chat with your two classmates, Yan Li and Lin Lang. They're both very capable. I've been following the market trends, but I don't really understand them. I just know the results are very good. They're so young, yet they've already established themselves on the mainstream stage in China. If you cultivate a good relationship with them, you might be able to get involved in some projects in the future."

“I’m getting old and it’s hard for me to lead any projects anymore. The help I can give you is minimal. Anyway, I’ll definitely try to stall your uncle and buy you another month or so so you can retain more of your principal.”

Fu Xueqing knew that her maternal grandfather's side had also had a hard life. Although they were wealthy, they couldn't just give money to whomever they wanted.

If it weren't for Hao Bo's incident, we might have been able to keep it a secret for a while, but we just happened to run into that incident.

In order to deal with that matter, the only option was to make it public that he had secretly brought Fu Xueqing into the investment.

My maternal grandfather has taken out over a billion yuan in total. With such a large sum of money, my uncles certainly won't let it go easily.

"Grandpa, I... I'll redeem it... I'll give it all... to my uncles and the others..."

Yang Jingyuan said, "What nonsense are you talking about? At most, we'll get our principal back. Why should they get the investment returns? Also, go talk to Lin Lang and ask him to give you the rights and interests of Xinglan Real Estate. Don't give them to anyone else."

"I……"

"Just listen to me, don't answer their calls. Even if things get really bad, I can hold out until the New Year. That's all, you should go to sleep early."

"Ah."

After Fu Xueqing and her grandfather hung up the phone, she felt a little down.

It wasn't because my uncles intervened, but because I felt very sorry for my grandfather.

Because of my own affairs, I caused my grandfather a lot of trouble.

My uncles are definitely angry, and the family atmosphere may be affected in the future.

That's definitely not what my grandfather wanted to see. He had already sacrificed a lot to maintain family relationships.

Just at this moment, her cell phone rang.

It was my uncle calling.

As her grandfather had advised, it was best not to answer the call, but after thinking about it for a while, she answered it anyway.

"Big...uncle..."

"Xueqing, where are you now?"

"I……"

"Stop hiding. Your grandfather gave you so much money. Do you know what a mess the house is in now? How can you have the leisure to hide outside?"

"I...didn't..."

“We’ve checked. Your grandfather took out 1.4 billion yuan, of which 600 million yuan was transferred to you, and the other 800 million yuan was invested in the stock market. What did you do with the 600 million yuan you took?”

"I...I bought funds..."

She spent 500 million yuan on Tianjin Mixed Optimized Selection and another 100 million yuan on stocks. However, this money was originally intended to be used to buy Xinglan Real Estate, but it was temporarily diverted.

"What funds did you buy? Redeem them immediately."

"It is... Tianjin Mixed Premium..."

"What? You bought this fund? At least you didn't lose money. Where are you now?"

"In...Shanghai..."

"Where exactly? I'll come find you tomorrow. It's not that I'm heartless, it's just that there are just too many expenses at home! If you want some pocket money, you can ask me anytime. Do you think I'd mistreat you? I'll come to your place tomorrow and leave you ten million in pocket money. If you don't get that money back soon, things will get chaotic at home. Your second uncle is even thinking of calling the police, you know?"

"I...I...um."

"Tell me your location..."

"Shangri-La..."
