Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 262 A New Girlfriend Is Always Better
Yan Li initially thought that Lin Lang wanted to make some money with Tianjin Capital so that he could start his own business.

But after this experience, she realized that she was still too naive.

He wants to use Tianjin Capital's reputation to borrow money!

Previously in Shanghai, the money I lent was for Tianjin Capital, and at that time, it wasn't apparent what was going on.

Now, he has started to have Tianjin Capital lend him money.

After all, Tianjin Capital's borrowing comes at a price; in the form of bonds, it has to pay 40 million yuan in interest every year.

It seems reasonable, but in reality, it's a money-losing proposition for Tianjin Capital.

Even if Tianjin Capital borrows money itself, the interest rate would be at most two percent, resulting in an extra 20 million yuan in expenses every year for no reason.

The question is, what should we do with the borrowed billion?
Does investing in a product guarantee profits?

If Lin Lang were willing to go back, she certainly wouldn't consider such a small loss. Lin Lang brought more than just tens of millions to Tianjin Capital; even if things escalated further, she could accept it.

However, Lin Lang did not make a promise to return.

Lin Lang told her about this bond plan on the way here, so she had no reason to refuse.

"What should we do with the 1 billion yuan that has arrived?"

"Just put it into our own funds; a billion isn't a lot."

"Oh, anyway, it's your arrangement, so you'll be responsible for it."

Yan Li once again put pressure on Lin Lang, testing his intentions.

Lin Lang said, "Didn't you read the proposal from Big Fish Media? In the short term, I will definitely focus on projects from Big Fish Media, as well as the Juhe Group."

Juhe Group is the main company used to acquire the logistics center, and it is also the second layer of structure that Fu Xueqing helped to set up.

In Lin Lang's plan, Juhe Group includes not only a logistics center, but also a human resources company and a management company.

These companies do not appear under the name of Juhui Group; they are separate entities, although the equity of all three companies is held by Juhui Group.

The shares of Juhe Group have been pledged to another company... His mother will hold 10% of the shares in that other company, and Fu Xueqing will hold 90% of the shares in that company.

However, all the shares held by his mother and Fu Xueqing will be pledged again...

The end result was that Lin Lang almost never appeared in the organizational structure, achieving absolute control of the Juhe Group through several layers of structure.

This is mainly to avoid certain risks, such as problems in certain businesses affecting the entire group.

Now, with its layered architecture, if a certain business function encounters a problem, it can be immediately separated.

Of course, another advantage is that it can hide Lin Lang, including the shares of Tianjin Capital. After everything is settled on Fu Xueqing's side, Lin Lang will also be hidden inside.

He cannot follow the path of Yan Li, because that path is not necessarily safe, and he does not have the foundation of Yan Li. Going too high would put a lot of pressure on him.

If we hide it like this, there won't be much pressure in the early stages.

"Oh, then I'll stay here and go back with you when you're done with your work."

After saying that, Yan Li hugged Lin Lang again and went to sleep.

There is indeed a strange sense of security.

"Then you're going to get a great deal!"

……

The second Monday of January arrives on schedule, like a raging bull that no one can hold back.

Gao Yu arrived in the provincial capital and negotiated with the people arranged by Huang Yusheng, and finally agreed to conduct the transaction after the market closed.

The required funds were 80 million, but Huang Yusheng and his group only accepted 60 million. The remaining 20 million was a referral fee for a company that belonged to Lin Lang.

In summary, Lin Lang spent 60 million yuan to acquire a 20% stake in Tianshui Duck Industry for Dayu Media.

Kong Rui arrived at the office early in the morning; he hadn't slept all night.

First, he checked Yan Li's records and confirmed that the bank manager of Xianzhai Bank had not lied to him. Then he started thinking about how to resolve the matter.

Because... Song Zhiyuan called him yesterday, and that's the scariest part.

If Song Zhiyuan hadn't called him, things would have been fine; he would have simply missed out on Yan Li, a major financial backer. In any case, he hadn't really intended to achieve anything particularly brilliant.

His constant pursuit has been to avoid making mistakes.

At over fifty years old, what can I still pursue?
He's not in his early forties...

However, it's not easy to avoid making mistakes; failing to do certain things is itself a mistake.

For example, this matter.

If Song Zhiyuan were to cause trouble, claiming that Yan Li was unhappy because he didn't go, and took back the project originally intended for Tianshui County, it would directly or indirectly lead to a loss of jobs and government funds for Tianshui County...

That would be a huge problem.

He waited in his office for a long time, but Song Zhiyuan never came.

He knew that Song Zhiyuan was usually very busy, always on the go, traveling to various places.

He could understand Song Zhiyuan, after all, the county where Song Zhiyuan used to live was different from Tianshui County.

He came from another 'Tianshui County'...

In such impoverished counties, there is simply no support system available.

The only project that's passable is real estate. As long as we maintain the real estate sector, everything else will be fine.

Want to soar to the sky? Absolutely not!

Therefore, there's not much point in making a fuss about it.

Originally, Song Zhiyuan could have ignored the Tianshui duck industry issue; that was a matter for the previous administration.

But he insisted on getting involved, so he took the initiative to guarantee Tianshui Duck Industry's business, and that's how he got caught up in this mess.

Around 10 a.m., he finally couldn't wait any longer and took the initiative to call Song Zhiyuan.

"Old Song, where are you? Are you coming back to the office at noon?"

"Back? That's good. I heard that Ms. Yan, the head of Tianjin Capital, came to Tianshui. I'd like to invite her to dinner, but I've met her before. I'd like you to help me make the appointment. Any time is fine, it just depends on when it's convenient for Ms. Yan."

He could only try to salvage the situation as soon as possible, which was the only way.

Even if he was rejected, it wasn't entirely his fault; at least his attitude was correct.

"You'll be back soon? Okay, I'm in the office."

After hanging up the phone, Kong Rui felt much better. Judging from Song Zhiyuan's reaction, he probably wouldn't use this matter to deliberately cause trouble for him.

After all, he didn't really know Yan Li, and if he wanted to contact Yan Li, he could only do so through Shen Xingnan.

About half an hour later, Song Zhiyuan arrived.

After they met, Kong Rui asked Song Zhiyuan to sit down and said, "Old Song, did you contact President Yan?"

Song Zhiyuan: "No, President Yan is quite busy, so I can't bother him right now. But I will try my best to get the Tianjin Capital bonds in the future. I didn't have a chance to talk about it last night because of other things. I rushed back to tell you something: I want to initiate the investigation process for Qin Dong, the chairman of Tianshui Duck Industry."

Upon hearing this, Kong Rui frowned.

He had no vested interests with Qin Dong, and there was never any question of him taking sides.

He just knew this matter was difficult and complicated.

Tianshui Duck Industry has been around for so many years, it's no longer just an ordinary company. He said, "We're also trying to resolve the issues at Tianshui Duck Industry, getting back wages for the employees, and making some job arrangements. We're working on that too. Old Song, once Tianshui Duck Industry gets into chaos, the situation will be difficult to control."

Song Zhiyuan squinted. "I've heard this excuse many times."

"That's just how it is. If you had a better way, you could have done it. The problem is, you don't have one, do you?"

For the investigation into Qin Dong to proceed smoothly, at least some evidence must be available.

However, Song Zhiyuan and his group currently lack conclusive evidence.

There is only one way to obtain evidence: to gain absolute control of Tianshui Duck Industry, thoroughly investigate all accounts, and demand an explanation from Qin Dong.

Although Tianshui Duck Industry is a listed company and its financial fraud has been confirmed, the penalties imposed on them have also been met.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has very limited authority to impose penalties.

Song Zhiyuan said, "This afternoon, Tianshui Duck Industry will hold a board meeting."

"Ok?"

"Tianshui Duck Industry has changed hands!"

"what!"

Kong Rui looked at Song Zhiyuan and remained silent for a long time before saying, "Old Song, it's not good to make a big fuss about this."

Song Zhiyuan laughed. "Am I trying to make a big fuss?"

"This……"

"Do I have any way out? I haven't for a long time, so... I came back specifically to tell you."

After saying this, Song Zhiyuan turned around and left Kong Rui's office.

He really had no other choice. He lost face for months. What was his purpose?
Isn't that what it's all for?

He's already embarrassed himself, and you're telling him not to make a big deal out of it?

Someone has to pay the price for this!

……

In the county town, after arranging some company matters around 8 o'clock, Yan Li had nothing else to do.

I came here and took a look at my house. In a month and a half, the renovation is almost complete, and only some soft furnishings and furniture are left.

Around 10 o'clock, she suddenly received a message.

She doesn't usually reply to messages, but this time the message was a little different.

It was sent by a college classmate, someone she considered quite impressive.

Of course, he's far inferior to Lin Lang.

"Mr. Yan, you're in Tianshui County? I've just been assigned here too, shall we have a meal together?"

"Why did you come to Tianshui County? Shouldn't you be going to the capital?"

Yan Li knew the other party's situation all too well; according to the timing, this was just the right time.

"The competition in the capital is fierce; I can't handle it with my abilities."

Yan Li: "Are you here to gain experience at the grassroots level for a while?"

"No, no, no, please don't flatter me. I'm not worthy of the word 'training.' I've been here for several days and haven't even been assigned a job yet. I spend all my time gossiping with a few people. Then I heard you were here, so I shamelessly asked to meet you, the most outstanding graduate of Shanghai's finance industry."

"Then you've come to the wrong person. The most outstanding graduate of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics is Lin Lang."

"Your boyfriend? I've never heard of that name before. How about the three of us have dinner together tonight?"

"Tonight probably won't work, he has to attend the board meeting of Tianshui Duck Industry. How about tomorrow? I'll arrange the seating then."

"no problem!"

After the chat ended, Yan Li went to Big Fish Media and met Lin Lang.

He moved closer to Lin Lang and said, "I just received a message from a classmate. He's currently in Tianshui County."

"What's wrong? A class reunion? Why don't you go?"

His name is Chen Wenbin.

Lin Lang: "..."

Normally, he wouldn't know Chen Wenbin, since he and Yan Li weren't in the same major, and Chen Wenbin wasn't as popular as Yan Li at school.

But the reality is, Lin Lang actually knows this guy.

In my previous life, when I graduated and went home to handle some paperwork, Chen Wenbin was in charge. After seeing that I had graduated from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, he asked me a few questions.

It was then that Lin Lang learned that Chen Wenbin had also graduated from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and was a member of the most prestigious civil service selection system in China.

Chen Wenbin stayed in the township for two years before moving to the county.

The last time Lin Lang saw him was when he went back to his hometown for the Chinese New Year. At that time, he and Chen Wenbin were both thirty-one years old, and Chen Wenbin had already reached the position that Song Zhiyuan is in now.

He was very busy at that time, having just started a new job. Because of his old classmate relationship, he came out to chat with Lin Lang for a while, smoked two cigarettes, and then left without having a meal.

"I know him, he's a top student, and his family is from Nanjing."

Yan Li was somewhat surprised, "You even know where he's from? Then why did he say he'd never seen you before?"

"He took the computer class with me, but it was a large classroom with over a hundred people, so it's normal that I don't remember him."

"Then how did you remember him?"

"I make a living with my brain, okay? A photographic memory is just the most basic thing."

"Oh? What color bra did I wear today?"

"..."

Lin Lang always thought Chen Wenbin was awesome, like he was the main character.

Despite coming from an ordinary family, she managed to achieve in her early thirties what others could never attain even after a lifetime of hard work.

Of course, it also depends on his starting point, since there are differences between selected graduates.

He said he wants to have dinner together, are you going?

"Go ahead, just consider it seeing an old friend."

"You're actually sentimental?"

"What? You want me to study the new one? That's true, a new girlfriend is always better, the old one is no longer needed!"

Yan Li: "..."

She glanced at Lin Lang's plans for Tianshui Duck Industry and said, "Actually, with a few hundred million yuan, we could completely rebuild Tianshui Duck Industry. Their shell company is not very valuable because it has been delisted and has a history of scandals."

In Yan Li's view, the most valuable thing in Tianshui Duck Industry is a relatively complete structure. As long as it is well planned and the production projects are arranged, it can be put into operation immediately.

However, it's not worth spending so much time and money no matter what.

Moreover, Lin Lang's plan also includes upgrading many product lines and expanding into other product lines, which will increase the overall investment.
