Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 223 It's good that it's fake; the real one would feel a bit distant.
Lin Lang was in the room, and before long, he heard the doorbell ring.

Walk over and open the door.

His eyes lit up instantly.

The first time I met Fu Xueqing was about ten days ago. At that time, the temperature had already dropped, and Fu Xueqing's clothes were all on the tighter side.

Although her figure is still visible, it's not very impactful.

But today, Fu Xueqing suddenly dressed up in a white off-shoulder round-neck long-sleeved shirt, paired with a black short skirt, her long hair draped over her shoulders, the wavy curls at the ends of her hair perfectly outlining the curves of her body.

Lin Lang had never seen Fu Xueqing like this before.

"No, wait... who are you?"

Fu Xueqing said with a smile, "I didn't bring enough clothes, this is the only set I have left..."

"Then come in first."

After Lin Lang called Fu Xueqing in, he moved his chair to her.

Lin Lang sat on the edge of the bed and said, "There's a big difference. Why don't you wear this style from now on? I'll have Yan Li help you put together an outfit."

Fu Xueqing used to have a strong sense of mature womanhood, but after changing her clothes today, he realized that she was simply dragged down by her previous style.

Her facial features may not be as striking as Yan Li's, but her figure is definitely not bad at all.

"Let Yan Li?"

"Yes, she has excellent taste in clothing; she can even make my parents' clothes look great."

"okay."

Fu Xueqing didn't say that she actually bought the outfit herself.

The clothes I wore before were either given to me by relatives or bought by my maternal grandfather.

She simply couldn't refuse, nor did she dare to refuse.

Lin Lang took out a document and handed it to Fu Xueqing, saying, "I called you over because I want you to help me improve these structures. Also, I want you to work on this project. As for compensation, you can put all your money into it."

Fu Xueqing read the first page, which was fairly complete. It mainly focused on the financial aspect, reorganizing Lin Lang's companies.

Not only can it remove Lin Lang from those companies, but it also won't affect Lin Lang's control over those companies.

Many of the companies there were ones that Fu Xueqing had never heard of.

Gradually, she read several pages; Lin Lang had planned a total of more than a dozen companies.

"Are all these companies yours?"

"Most of it hasn't been done yet, and I'll need you to help me get it done later."

"..."

Fu Xueqing sensed that something was wrong.

Could it be that Lin Lang really has his eye on her abilities?

She quickly said, "Um... I can't do it directly, especially since it involves financial investment..."

“These things are not important. If you have any concerns, you don’t have to invest any money. I will take care of the investment and make the final decision on the operation. I will also take responsibility for any losses.”

"Hmm...do these require overseas infrastructure?"

"Yes, the overseas structure should account for at least 20%, but it's not convenient to have too much, at most 30%, mainly for the convenience of overall operation."

Fu Xueqing: "Mm."

Lin Lang said, "We've been classmates for so many years, so I definitely trust you unconditionally. I'm not suited to entrust this kind of thing to outsiders. After I finish dealing with Tianjin Capital's matter after the New Year, I'll go back to my hometown. If you want to stay in Shanghai, I'll prepare an apartment for you there. If you want to come back to Tianshui with me, that's even easier; it'll feel just like home."

This matter requires a high level of professional ability, and Lin Lang couldn't find anyone more suitable than Fu Xueqing, so he didn't discuss the work in too much detail, but planned to have a good talk with Fu Xueqing about their relationship.

"I can't guarantee anything else, but at least once you get to Tianshui County, I promise you won't suffer any injustice. Go ahead and do whatever you want; I'll cover for you in every way. Also, you'll be completely free to leave whenever you want; there won't be any restrictions on you."

"What if I'm not capable enough but don't want to leave?"

“Then I won’t leave. I can’t afford to take care of you. Besides, even if we’re the same age, if I die before you one day, I’ll tell my children to take care of you in your old age.”

Lin Lang himself felt that what he said was a bit too disgusting.

If it were anyone else, they wouldn't even bother to acknowledge them.

When someone asks me to do work, the first thing we need to talk about is money. What good is talking about feelings?

Forget about retirement... You're so young, what kind of retirement plan are you talking about!
However, these words had a great impact on Fu Xueqing.

For Fu Xueqing, it has always felt like she has no home. Her parents have never cared about her and have never called her. She also has to consider many things regarding her maternal grandfather.

She never knew what stability was.

It's not that she can't afford a house; if she really wanted one, her grandfather would definitely be willing to help.

But what can I do after buying a house?

I still don't have any family.

"Okay, but if I lose money in the investment, I will compensate you."

"What are you saying? You don't need to be so careful around me. You don't need to please me, and I don't need to please you. Let's just have a normal relationship. When we're working, we're the best partners, and when we're not working, you can treat me as your closest friend."

Based on Fu Xueqing's research report alone, it's worth believing.

It's not that others can't write such research reports, but even if they did, they would only be kept in the safes of top-tier institutions and would never be easily revealed to others.

Those are all core areas.

Therefore, there is no possibility that the items Fu Xueqing presented were counterfeit.

Fu Xueqing whispered, "Actually, you can contact Yan Li. I've seen Yan Li's videos; she's very capable."

"Yan Li is Yan Li, and you are you..."

Lin Lang trusted Yan Li's abilities in other areas. For example, when he wanted to borrow money, only Yan Li dared to agree directly.

More than 3 billion yuan! Even if you sold Tianjin Capital, you wouldn't have that much money, but Yan Li was absolutely confident that he could borrow it.

For example, launching new products, or his desire for a precious metals trading license, are all areas where Yan Li excels.

These things are important to Tianjin Capital, but they are not important in my own situation.

What we need on our side is financial talent. Even if Yan Li has talent, it won't be exceptionally strong, nor will it be particularly well-rounded.

"Well... okay, is there anything else you need?"

"Yes, I'll need your help a lot in the future, so I won't be polite with you, and you don't need to be polite with me either..."

"Ok!"

"Then hurry up and go to your room to change your clothes. You're a bit chilly in these clothes. Once you're changed, let's go get something to eat together."

"Ah."

Lin Lang watched Fu Xueqing walk out. If he remembered correctly, Fu Xueqing had said earlier that she couldn't wear any other clothes...

Therefore, it's fake.

Fake is better; real feels a bit distant.

……

Lin Lang ate something simple with Fu Xueqing, and then went back to his room.

The structure he wanted to create was quite complex. Simply put, it involved splitting a company's equity into several parts, then using these parts to cross-shareholding. At the same time, all the companies with cross-shareholding would pledge their equity to a certain company, and that company would then control the proportion through other cross-shareholdings.

Ultimately, he will disappear from the list of shareholders of Big Fish Media, and an unfamiliar company will take his place.

Not only Big Fish Media, but he also has several other projects he wants to do, all of which are in the planning stages.

In short, he does not directly hold shares or appear on the list of shareholders. By indirectly controlling the equity, even if a problem arises in a certain link in the chain in the future, he can simply abandon it without any impact on himself.

Furthermore, financial means can be used to exchange benefits between different structures.

For example, if a project fails, but the core assets of the project are controlled by another company, then even if the project goes bankrupt and is liquidated, some core assets can be taken away from it.

This is a variant of the VIE structure, which is more complex overall. Essentially, it is a variable interest entity that achieves business control and risk isolation through multi-level shareholding.

In a few years, ByteDance will be renamed Douyin Group, which is essentially a change in its financial structure.

Lin Lang expanded upon the original work, but the essence remained the same.

On Sunday morning, Lin Lang stayed in his room and helped Mi Xiaofan discuss the live-streaming contract.

Mi Xiaofan's fan growth has slowed down, but Christmas is just around the corner, and he has already carefully filmed a video that should be a small breakthrough, helping him successfully break through the 10 million fan mark.

They're just over 200,000 followers away.

On the contrary, Yan Li has surpassed others, officially breaking the 10 million mark the day before yesterday, and is still gaining 200,000 to 300,000 new fans every day.

The two are not comparable at all.

To put it bluntly, no matter how successful an influencer company is, it can't compare to the current stable money-making ability of Tianjin Capital.

However, each industry has its own unique characteristics.

To some extent, online celebrities are actually a form of real business, and can be a catalyst for any real business, seamlessly integrating into any physical enterprise.

Recently, Mi Xiaofan has been looking through her circle of friends, having treated more than twenty people to meals and even giving them their information.

Lin Lang even saw several internet celebrities who became very popular later on.

Next week, Mi Xiaofan will take them to Tianshui County to sign the contract. After the contract is signed, Lin Lang will customize the content for them.

Around 3 PM, Yan Li called.

"The money issue has been settled. I also inquired about the approval progress of Global Hybrid Selection, and it's confirmed that it will be approved tomorrow. What if the fundraising ends early...?"

"If the fundraising ends early, then let's get it started early. Anyway, there's only one trading room. You can take care of the daytime and I'll take care of the nighttime."

"I... am afraid I won't do it well."

"There's not much we can do. We'll just observe and send out information. There are over 3 billion in assets, and with a limit of 10,000, that means over 300,000 people have to buy in. It won't end too quickly. I'll try my best to stabilize the market over the next five trading days. You don't need to do anything else after that."

For Lin Lang, this was truly a case of being caught off guard by someone he had planned to do.

He didn't expect that the popularity of these two sectors would directly drive down the prices of many blue-chip stocks.

Therefore, Tianjin Mixed Selection has invested nearly 9 billion yuan, but it has failed to generate any profit and is still currently operating at a loss.

Among the blue-chip stocks, he only selected about thirty stocks in total, with Muyuan being a major holding, where he has already invested 900 million yuan.

It's equivalent to him letting retail investors profit from small-cap stocks, while retail investors hand over their holdings in blue-chip stocks to him.

Regarding QDII funds, the quota is one billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 6.8 billion RMB. Tianjin Capital requested 3.4 billion, and the remaining 3.4 billion is reserved for fund investors. With a purchase limit of 10,000, it can withstand at least 340,000 fund investors' subscriptions.

Three hundred and forty thousand is not an easy amount to raise; even just advertising on the official website might not be enough to completely raise it in half a month.

Another point is that this amount is neither too much nor too little. For veteran fund investors, it is definitely not bad, but for Yan Li's fans, 10,000 is far from enough.

Yan Li: "How about you mainly take charge of Tianjin Hybrid Selection? As for the Global Hybrid Selection, I'll hire another fund manager. Staying up late is bad for your health."

"You can arrange things however you want, but... are you sure the people you hire can generate results?"

"It's very difficult. Few domestic fund managers have achieved outstanding results in the international market. They are basically driven by fund investors and have little independent consciousness."

Being so-called "coerced" by fund investors is just being a lazy bum!
When many fund investors redeem their shares, the fund managers sell some of them.

If many investors subscribe to the fund, they will buy some stocks.

As a result, when a large number of fund investors redeem their investments, it is precisely when overseas markets have plummeted to their lowest point, because fund investors have already lost money down to their cost basis and are under great psychological pressure.

When fund investors subscribe, it's often at a high point, when the market is rising and experiencing a continuous upward trend, attracting a large number of fund investors to enter the market.

Don't those fund managers know? They must know it's bad.

However, they dare not distribute dividends because doing so would reduce the company's scale, affect the company's management fees, and thus their income.

Therefore, the best approach is to observe the fund investors' actions throughout the entire process. If the investors cannot take profits in time or make accurate market judgments, the fund investors will absolutely not interfere.

Yan Li believed that Lin Lang was confident he could do this well, but working in the international market was really tiring. The opening hours of the US stock market were completely reversed, requiring him to stay up all night.

Tianjin Capital's core business is the domestic market, specifically Tianjin Hybrid Selection Fund. If this fund encounters problems due to Lin Lang's departure, then... that would be a truly serious issue.

Anyway, QDII funds can be held at empty positions, allowing other fund managers to operate with small positions. Even if they lose money, they won't lose much.

"That's why Guan Shengcai decided to give us the entire share. He went against everyone's advice and gave you the entire 1 billion quota. He's under unprecedented pressure. If he doesn't achieve anything, he won't be able to explain himself. I can't say how confident I am. I can only give it a try. Otherwise, we'll all have a hard time at next month's meeting."
