Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 291 Marriage serves the entire family system.

Tianjin Capital's acquisition of shares has created a frenzy in the financial market.

Whether it's hot money in the market, fans of Tianjin Capital, or just some casual observers, once they have a clear goal, they basically stop wasting money elsewhere.

Elsewhere in the market, the profit-making effect has plummeted, while the profit-making effect of concepts related to Tianjin Capital has suddenly increased.

This has forced many funds that were not interested in Tianjin Capital to shift their focus here.

There's no other way but to move; everyone comes to this market to make money.

This time is different from the last time. Last time, Tianjin Capital operated small-cap stocks, which did not fit the concept of value investing, and it could not accommodate much money.

These are all large-cap stocks, and all are among the top companies in China.

There were already many retail investors in the market, and now even more have flooded in.

Meanwhile, the retail investors who were originally involved will also try to find out the reasons after seeing the unusual stock price movements.

As a result, Tianjin Capital's reputation among stock market investors has risen once again.

The number of views on Tianjin Capital's official website is a testament to this; a single announcement of a takeover bid garnered over 1.6 million views within hours.

As for the registered users on Tianjin Capital's official website, they exceed five million, since every investor must register before they can buy shares.

The current traffic to Tianjin Capital's official website has already surpassed that of some of the top portal websites in China.

In this era of apps, Tianjin Capital has somehow become the king of PCs.

As for Tianjin Capital's app, Yan Li has been preparing for it for half a month and it is expected to be launched after the New Year.

Around 3 PM, Yan Li met with Luo Ze, both of them bringing their finance teams, to conduct an audit and obtain signatures.

During the review process, Luo Ze said to Yan Li, "President Yan, you have acquired another stake in a listed company, which is tantamount to amplifying the risk once again. Originally, we were going to hesitate today, but I insisted on coming here to fulfill our agreement with you despite everyone's objections. I hope you can also consider my situation. If problems really arise in the future, we will not be able to bear the consequences."

He was prepared to lay out the unpleasant truth upfront, since no one could resist an eight percent coupon rate.

However, since you've invested in Tianjin Capital, you have to bear the risks that Tianjin Capital brings.

Yan Li said, "Leader Luo, these are all minor issues for Tianjin Capital. Although we raised our stake in a stock today and were restricted from investing billions of yuan, we also made billions of yuan today."

Just now, Yan Li received today's report. The net value of the Tianjin Hybrid Selection Fund rose by 8.65% today, which means it has made billions of yuan without any problem.

Luo Ze: "..."

No way, how come all the people at Tianjin Capital are so arrogant?

Isn't this just empty promises? It's like they're making it sound like they can perfectly cash out and leave at a high price...

I told Guan Sheng before that I had fallen into a pit, but it was just a joke. Now the more I look at it, the more it seems to be true.

Tianjin Capital doesn't seem to take the risks seriously, neither does Lin Lang or Yan Li.

Of course, Tianjin Capital is indeed amazing.

……

The sheer power of Tianjin Capital is evident from the growth in Yan Li's fan base.
Yan Li's fan base has unknowingly surpassed 18 million, and any video she posts gets two to three million likes.

Two weeks ago, she only had twelve million followers.

Normally, once you reach ten million followers, you'll hit a bottleneck, since market traffic is limited and you'll attract less and less traffic over time.

However, this bottleneck did not appear in Yan Li's case.

If it weren't for the presence of several celebrities with tens of millions of fans over her, Yan Li would already be number one on the platform in terms of fans.

Yan Li's fans are very different from those of celebrities; they are not only active but also good at using memes.

The mindset of focusing on appearance and the mindset of focusing on celebrities are completely different.

"Holy crap, I just found out that such an amazing fund has appeared in China? I'm a stock trader every day and I'm completely clueless. How come I only found out about something this big now?"

"Who the hell isn't? Damn it, look at their fund's net asset value, I'm so envious. It's almost tripled in a month and a half. I've lost almost 30% of my capital in stocks recently. All that hard work researching is not as good as choosing a good fund."

"Dude, you think choosing a fund is easier than investing in stocks? At least with stocks, you only have to choose from a few thousand, and quite a few of them rise every day. But choosing a fund? You have to choose from tens of thousands of funds, and not only are very few going up, but the various fees alone will give you a headache. Anyone who can choose Tianjin Hybrid Selection Fund at the first opportunity is a genius. Who in their right mind would invest in a popular fund company? That Yan Li is just a recent college graduate..."

"Sigh, there's a limit now..."

"No, buddy, would you dare buy without a limit? Tianjin Capital has already acquired stakes in two funds, locking up over 10 billion yuan. It's about to collapse. Buying now is less worthwhile than looking for opportunities to get into the stocks they heavily invest in and make a killing."

What stocks are they holding?

"For now, we can only confirm the top ten holdings, but they have all hit their daily limit up today. As for the other holdings, they are all circulating online, and no one knows the specifics."

"I checked, and I can't get into those stocks either..."

"Then let's not go in. It'll all end in a mess sooner or later anyway. Who knows, by the time we get in, the market will have collapsed. The market that Tianjin Capital manipulated last time is still falling. I don't know how badly the money inside is suffering. Those who went in at the highest point have lost almost 80% of their principal. If they don't add to their positions, they'll need a market that quadruples in value to break even."

"Tianjin Capital is alright?"

"It's alright, they've already run away! From beginning to end, they were just using the power of retail investors. What do the lives of retail investors have to do with them?"

"Upstairs, have you no shame? Did Tianjin Capital let you in? Besides, when the market crashed, didn't retail investors have a chance to get out? Do you really think others didn't experience that period? It's only been a few days, and you're already making history? When the market crashed, there were at least four trading days where you could get out at any time. Those who couldn't get out were just greedy. Also, it's like Tianjin Capital was ripping people off. What did they do wrong for the sake of fund investors? Weren't you all clamoring that buying stocks was better than buying funds? Back then, you were spreading rumors everywhere, causing many fund investors to redeem their funds, creating a lot of trouble for Tianjin Capital. It's already merciful that Tianjin Capital didn't crush you all. They even gave you multiple chances to escape. I think they were too kind to you."

One great thing about the internet is that as long as you stand on the right side, even if someone maliciously tries to stir up trouble, you'll eventually have a chance to fight back.

The online world is ever-changing, with all sorts of claims emerging, and a single event can have hundreds or even thousands of different interpretations.

After all, the person spreading the message might suddenly have a brilliant idea and start going astray.

However, Yan Li already had a considerable number of fans back then, and millions of people are still paying attention to this matter, making it difficult for some people to cover up the truth through the actions of history books.

As the spread of rumors intensified, some people released a video that went through the whole story from beginning to end.

They even used the stock data from back then as evidence, clearly posting the dates to prove that Tianjin Capital did not cheat retail investors and had always given them opportunities.

After all, it had been exposed long ago that Tianjin Capital had already absconded, yet people still recklessly rushed in.

……

After the market closed, Lin Lang didn't rush back to the hotel. Instead, he signed some documents at the company and then went to check on the front-end project team.

The main task of this project team at present is to develop the Tianjin Capital app.

The whole team was actually quite amateurish, since it was put together temporarily.

Lin Lang went over and had a special talk with them, mainly explaining the core points.

For example, layout, visual effects, responsive design, and core interaction principles...

Tianjin Capital's app is a product that naturally attracts users, so it needs to be well-made. If it can retain users, then the app project can become one of Tianjin Capital's most important sources of revenue.

The value of an app depends on its users.

A user's value depends on their activity level, their accuracy, and their spending power.

Without a doubt, once Tianjin Capital's app is launched, user activity will definitely not be a problem. As for the number of users, although it may not be able to compare with those with tens of millions or hundreds of millions of registered users, it can at least ensure that it becomes a product with millions of active users.

Such products are of considerable value.

As for its potential? It's huge. The app's potential depends on how far Tianjin Capital can go. Going forward, major internet groups are frantically trying to attract users to download their apps, aiming to distribute traffic and create economies of scale.

The traffic that has been distributed can be gathered together to generate greater value.

For example, after ByteDance acquired Douyin, a massive traffic generator, it has allowed other software to push traffic to its platform for the past two years. However, after a few years, it will no longer allow other software to push traffic to its platform. If any related content appears, the account will either be banned or the traffic will be limited.

The goal is to drive traffic to their own app.

What car apps, what novel apps, what music apps, what short drama apps...

Through these methods, hundreds of millions of users can be amplified, and then advertising can be distributed through their massive reach.

After all, the amount of exposure on Douyin is becoming increasingly limited, and it's impossible to keep users watching ads after they come in.

Relocating the company to other locations will not only accommodate more advertisers but also generate more data, naturally leading to greater profits.

As for the quality of the advertisements? They don't care.

E-commerce advertising has always been the largest source of traffic, and on some platforms, the return rate for e-commerce advertising can reach 100%.

But since ByteDance controls the traffic, they have no choice but to tolerate it.

Traffic is the foundation of the future.

Without traffic, nothing can be accomplished in the future.

Around four o'clock, Lin Lang went to sign a few more documents, and then Yan Li returned.

"Have you finalized the deal with Luo Ze? When will the funds arrive tomorrow?"

"It should be around 3 billion by tomorrow morning, before noon. The remaining funds will arrive gradually this week."

"That's good."

Lin Lang gave up his seat for Yan Li to sit down.

He felt that Yan Li didn't look well.

After Yan Li sat down, he asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"A little, maybe I'm on my period."

Lin Lang: "..."

"Then you should go back and rest earlier. Why did you come back to the company?"

Lin Lang didn't say anything, even though he knew Yan Li shouldn't suddenly have her period.

"There are still some documents here at the company..."

"I've already signed it for you, and I've also gone over to the app project team to make new arrangements. Let me drive you home, have dinner at your place, and come back to the company tonight."

"okay……"

"Come on, let me help you."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Before long, the two arrived at the garage. Lin Lang asked Yan Li to wait on the side while he drove the car over.

Afterwards, they picked up Yan Li and headed towards her home.

On the way, Lin Lang asked, "Did you take your medicine?"

"Huh? Hmm."

Yan Li doesn't want to get pregnant, especially at this time.

Tianjin Capital has a lot of complex work, and pregnancy was simply not on her agenda.

However, since I was with Lin Lang last night, I couldn't just bring up safety measures, because I was afraid it would spoil his mood.

"It was my oversight. You should rest at home for the next few days. I'll take care of the company matters for now. Come back when you've recovered your energy."

"Actually, it's not that serious, it's just..."

"I know it's not serious, but I must get enough rest. I can't keep running around all day. I'll just rest for four days. There's nothing serious going on these days, I can manage."

This was the first time Yan Li had felt Lin Lang's initiative at work.

"It's not that I don't want children, it's just that I feel it's not the right time right now. In a year or two, it would be fine..."

"I don't want children either. I'm already busy enough lately, how can I have the energy to take care of children?"

While it's possible to hire someone to take care of children, parents will inevitably need to dedicate some of their energy to it as well.

Lin Lang said he would let his parents take care of the child, but he didn't really trust them at all.

The elderly couple might not be able to raise the child well, since they have no other option but to spoil him.

"Yes, let's have children in two years."

"no problem."

Lin Lang really didn't mind Yan Li doing this, but...

Lin Lang saw the message Shen An'an sent last night around noon, and felt that Shen An'an probably already knew something.

Then he didn't reply.

After all, Yan Li has already reached the pinnacle in every aspect.

Even if Yan wanted to get married, he was prepared to agree.

So, he was too ashamed to reply to Shen An'an, feeling that the house was destined to be abandoned.

Promising to deliver the property is destined to be just empty talk.

However, Lin Lang's choice of marriage is definitely based on the entire family system. If he didn't need to take care of his parents' feelings, he could have remained unmarried for his entire life.

For Yan Li, everything she does must be for a reason. There are benefits to pleasing her parents, and there are benefits to having children.

But she took the medication without hesitation, which suggests that either she felt the benefits of having a child were not significant enough, or she was unaware of it.

Perhaps she felt that as long as she was happy, that was all that mattered in her marriage.

In reality, my marriage was primarily based on my parents' wishes.

If her mother knew that Yan Li was secretly taking birth control pills, there would definitely be problems.

Therefore, we can't let our conversation with Shen An'an stop; we need to continue talking to her.

After dropping Yan Li off at home and having her eat something, Lin Lang drove back to the hotel.

He took out his phone, read Shen An'an's message, and replied: "My biological clock has been messed up lately. I stayed in the trading room until after 6 a.m. last night, and went straight to sleep when I got back to the hotel. I had to go to the trading room again during the day, so I didn't see your message."

Even though it was the weekend on the other side of the Atlantic last night...
