Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 339 You adopted me, I should lick you to show my friendliness
He Qiang heard everything clearly from the side.

Tianjin Capital is going public!
Lin Lang also said that investing in stocks has greater potential than investing in funds at the earliest opportunity.

What does this mean?
This shows that Lin Lang is very confident in Tianjin Capital's future performance.

Even if a stock is leveraged, which amplifies its potential, the stock price might increase tenfold, but the company's performance might only increase two or threefold.

But Lin Lang said that the expected growth rate of Tianjin Mixed Selection this year is 100%.

"Hey bro, is Tianjin Capital going public?"

"Yes, it should be around January next year. We will give President He a sum of money then, without touching the fund's share."

This isn't exactly a company secret. As for how the money is distributed, it's obviously through fund dividends.

By the end of next year, Tianjin Hybrid Selection will definitely distribute a dividend. Lin Lang expects a 30% dividend, mainly to find a reasonable excuse to avoid the sharp drop in the stock price for two consecutive days after the Lunar New Year.

It's already a public offering, so it's impossible to have no positions. Even when other stocks plummet, mask stocks and some pharmaceutical stocks still have room to fall, but they simply can't accommodate much capital.

Face masks are a very small concept, and the core stocks related to them, before they rise, are basically worth only a few billion dollars, which cannot accommodate much capital.

Large funds still need to focus on large-cap stocks that are resistant to price drops.

Dividends will allow us to reasonably clear out 30% of our positions. Then, we can also reduce our positions by another 20%, which will be equivalent to reducing our positions by 50%. We can then allow investors to buy back in after a significant drop.

Moreover, reasonable dividends can give others some opportunities; otherwise, if those funds remain tied up, they will only hold others back.

The size of a fund is not necessarily better the bigger it is. For the Tianjin Hybrid Selection Fund, it is best to keep it around 200 billion yuan. If it is too big, the net asset value will be too dependent on the overall market performance. If one or two sectors perform well, it will not be able to drive the fund's performance.

However, since profit sharing involves company secrets, Lin Lang didn't mention it.

Neither listing on the stock exchange nor encouraging friends to buy one's own fund is considered a violation of regulations.

Asking friends to buy or sell your own company's stock carries some risk, but if it's only during the initial listing phase, the problem isn't too serious.

"Once you buy the stock after the IPO, don't touch it. Just hold onto it and collect the dividends. Also, keep this a secret. You can only tell Teacher Yun about it, Haiyang. You can't tell your parents either."

Fu Xueqing, who was standing to the side, frowned and said, "Lin Lang, what you've done involves insider trading."

Lin Lang said, "There are only four of us today. If you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know?"

Fu Xueqing said speechlessly, "You're playing with your own life and fortune; nobody can control you now."

This incident caused some tension on Qin Haiyang's side, and He Qiang also realized that, strictly speaking, it constituted insider trading.

He immediately said, "Don't worry, brother, no one will know about this except me. I will keep it a secret from you."

Qin Haiyang: "..."

Lin Lang said, "Alright, alright, there's no major problem. In short, whether it's funds or stocks, once you buy them, don't touch them. Hold them long-term. If you need money, just borrow from a bank. Borrowing money from banks is very convenient. Let's go, let's go out for dinner."

Lin Lang got up and led He Qiang and the others out.

Fu Xueqing didn't come out. After seeing He Qiang and the others out, Lin Lang returned to the tea room.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about your shameless behavior..."

"How is that shameless? I did take some risks, at least in terms of procedures..."

Yes, Lin Lang's call for people to buy his company's stock a year later at this time constitutes insider trading.

But the problem is that one year later.

If Tianjin Capital has already started the IPO process, then that's a problem.

However, Tianjin Capital has not yet launched its IPO, and even listing is an uncertain process.

Even if investigated, this matter will not be classified as insider trading.

Although He Qiang knew a lot about finance, he was not clear about the specifics of Tianjin Capital.

Fu Xueqing said, "You told me about this on the way here and asked me to cooperate with you. I still don't know what you mean by doing this, or what your purpose is?"

"I don't have any ulterior motives. I just want my friends to feel at ease. I've already risked breaking the law to guide them, so no matter what happens in the future, they will always stand firmly on my side. Besides, who wants to be a puppet that is completely controlled? I didn't say anything when we didn't trust each other enough before, but now that we've built up enough trust, if I don't show them some trust, they'll start to panic."

"Oh, why does this feel so familiar? Suddenly giving me a room and then involving me in this matter, is this also a form of PUA (manipulation)?"

Fu Xueqing stared at Lin Lang, her eyes full of doubt.

"Haha, what PUA or not, we're classmates. Besides being my business partner, you're also my college youth. We're practically family."

"Oh, then why did you invite me to dance class back then?"

Lin Lang: "..."

What? I invited you?

What did I invite? I have absolutely no recollection of it.

I hardly ever had any worldly desires during my university years.

He has always had a pretty good memory, and he would always leave a deep impression on any girl he liked. However, his impression of Fu Xueqing was just that of a classmate, and he didn't even care about the ballroom dancing incident.

Although ten years is indeed a long time, it is enough to show that the memory is not very profound.

"No, you're so beautiful, it's perfectly normal to invite you, right? Any normal person would do the same, wouldn't they?"

Fu Xueqing: "...Was I very pretty back then?"

"Yes, she has long, flowing hair and such a great figure. She's just as good as Yan Li, isn't she?"

Fu Xueqing's eyes changed. "I had short hair back then, and I was getting my teeth straightened. I looked really ugly."

"Then I must have misremembered. But even with short hair and braces, she's still very pretty."

"You don't actually remember at all, do you?"

Lin Lang: "...It's only been less than two years, so there can't be a huge difference between then and now, right?"

Fu Xueqing nodded, "You've already forgotten in less than two years? I was so excited back then, you didn't accept another girl's invitation, but specifically asked me to team up with you..."

"Then tell me what happened back then, and I'll try to recall..."

This can be seen as an admission that he was indeed unaware of the situation.

Fu Xueqing silently rolled her eyes. "At the time, the teacher asked the boys and girls to stand in separate lines and find their dance partners. There were more girls in the class, so no boys approached me. A pretty girl approached you, and then you suddenly came up to me and invited me to dance with you."

Lin Lang: "...And then?"

"That's all? You didn't do that because nobody invited me, and you felt sorry for me, like feeding a stray cat..."

Lin Lang: "..."

It's really possible!
Lin Lang is quite compassionate; he feels empathy when he sees stray cats and dogs.

But... he definitely won't feed them.

Not having money is one issue, but not having the time or inclination is another.

Were you pitiful back then?

"I guess so. It was a low point in my life, and I cut my hair short. Your invitation that time gave me a lot of courage. Although you might have just been pitying me, it was very important to me."

For Lin Lang, lost memories are indeed very difficult to recover.

After all, he felt sorry for a stray cat when he passed by, and even though Lin Lang happened to have cat food on hand and fed it to the cat, he wouldn't take it to heart afterward.

Lin Lang said, "It's also very important to me. Perhaps it was an unintentional decision I made that day, but it facilitated our understanding of each other and led to where we are today."

Fu Xueqing looked up and asked, "Before, it was just about feeding me. Now, are you planning to take me home and raise me? I've been wandering for many years..." Fu Xueqing's eyes were very bright and had a purity unique to young girls.

His head was held high, and there was a hint of anticipation in his expression.

Lin Lang smiled slightly, "It's not a difficult thing, just adding a pair of chopsticks."

Lin Lang knew that Fu Xueqing must also have some problems.

Looking at the people around him, Bing Ning has psychological problems, Mi Xiaofan has psychological problems, Yang Xi also has psychological problems, and Fu Xueqing is the same.

Yan Li is more pragmatic, while Shen An'an is easier to fool.

Of all the girls he's met, Li Wanqing seems to be the only one who's relatively normal, because she has everything she needs.

It's normal to pursue money, face, honor, and status.

Bing Ning and Fu Xueqing are both lacking in love, Mi Xiaofan lacks both money and love, and Yang Xi lacks money.

They have developed a distorted mentality regarding what they want to pursue.

"Then lower your head..."

"what happened?"

Lin Lang came closer.

The next second, Fu Xueqing leaned close to Lin Lang's face, licked it with the tip of her tongue, and said, "You adopted me, so I should lick you to show my friendliness..."

With the saliva still wet on his face, Lin Lang said, "Did you lick the wrong spot?"

Fu Xueqing took a step back: "...Are you that perverted?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? No, what are you thinking? Who's the pervert, me or you? You think one sentence is enough to make you misunderstand?"

"Then why are you in such a hurry?"

Am I in a hurry?

……

However, it still felt quite comfortable to lick with Fu Xueqing's little tongue.

Damn it, I shouldn't have denied that I liked unspoken rules in the first place.

They've tied themselves to a moral high ground, making it difficult to step down.

Morality can't put food on the table!
Soon, dinner was served at home.

A total of six tables were arranged.

On Lin Lang's side, there were two older cousins, a younger cousin, and another younger cousin, Lin Hui, along with He Qiang, Qin Haiyang, Fu Xueqing, and He Qiang's son, He Yifan.

Bingning sat with Ms. Xu, mainly with her aunts and maternal aunts.

My cousin's name is Lin Dong. He's thirty years old this year and is the eldest son of my second uncle's family.

After we sat down to eat, I asked, "Langlang, where's your girlfriend? Are you bringing her home for Chinese New Year this year?"

"Yes, bring it. It'll be here tomorrow."

"Is it Yan Li from Tianjin Capital?"

"Brother Dong knows about Tianjin Capital? He bought a fund?"

Lin Dong laughed and said, "I don't have that kind of spare money. I'm just curious, how did you manage to win her over?"

"It's all thanks to this face..."

Fu Xueqing, who was standing to the side, said, "That's true. Lin Lang was the most handsome guy in our school back in college."

"Haha, is there any?"

"Yes, that's what girls say in private."

Lin Dong said, "Langlang, your sister-in-law said she wants to take a picture with Yan Li, and asked me to ask if it's convenient."

"That's convenient. I'll take some photos of you guys separately after dinner tomorrow... By the way, you guys should have a drink if you want... Mr. He, you should have a drink too. Don't go back tonight, there are rooms prepared for you at home, so you don't have to go back and forth."

Upon hearing this, He Qiang quickly said, "Then I'll have a toast to you, brother!"

Staying overnight represents the highest level of friendship.

He Qiang could find no reason to refuse, nor would he refuse.

"Brother Dong, I have something to do tonight. Could you keep President He company for a couple of drinks?"

"If you hadn't told me, I would have made up an excuse to keep you company. This is the first time I've ever drunk a bottle of wine that costs over two thousand."

After pouring himself a glass of wine, He Qiang nudged his son, He Yifan, who was standing next to him. He Yifan quickly stood up, held up a glass of wine, and said to Lin Lang, "Uncle Lin, I'd like to toast you too. Cheers first, then you can drink as you please!"

Then, I drank about an ounce of wine in one gulp.

It was obvious that He Yifan wasn't a good drinker, as he immediately choked and started coughing.

Lin Lang said, "Why call me uncle? I'm only two years older than you. Let's treat each other as brothers. Just call me brother."

He Yifan's face quickly turned red, whether from choking or from the alcohol, he could only weakly respond from the side.

Lin Dong picked up the bottle and said to Qin Haiyang, "Hey buddy, want some?"

Qin Haiyang was originally going to accept the offer, since he also quite enjoyed drinking.

Lin Lang simply said, "He has to drive back later, so he won't drink. You guys can drink."

Upon hearing this, Qin Haiyang immediately replied, "Yes, yes, I have to drive later, we'll drink next time."

This was just a trivial matter; even if he had been drinking, someone could have taken him home. But whatever Lin Lang said went.

Brother Lang is a true brother.

Lin Lang deliberately ate slowly, waiting until He Qiang and the others had almost finished drinking before leaving the table.

Immediately afterwards, he exchanged a few words with relatives and neighbors and began arranging for people to return home.

Although it was only a little past seven o'clock, it was already completely dark.

He Qiang and his son were still sitting there, chatting with Lin Lang's cousins.

I wanted to talk to Lin Hui, but he turned out to be a guy who wouldn't say a word...

Fu Xueqing also got up and came to Lin Lang's side, saying, "I should go back now, I'll come again tomorrow."

"No, what are you going back for? We have a room prepared for you, but it's on the third floor."

"Hmm?" Fu Xueqing's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Come on, let me show you the room first."

Lin Lang called to her and walked into the house.

There were a lot of people outside, and as we started going up the stairs, Fu Xueqing asked, "You suddenly asked me to stay at your house, you're not really going to ask me to give you...?"

"what?"

"It's alright, since you took me in, it's only right that I let you lick me..."
