Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 343 They're all on our side, it's alright.
"Shang zhang" is a local term that means giving money as a gift.

Whenever a banquet is held, a registration area is usually set up at the entrance so that relatives and friends can register when they arrive, making it easier for the host to reciprocate with gifts later.

Very close relatives would give 800 or 1000, while neighbors would give 100 or 200.

Of course, when there are big events, such as a daughter getting married or a son getting married, particularly good relatives will give more money, such as two thousand, six thousand, or even eight thousand or ten thousand.

There are no set standards; it all depends on how generous the relatives are and how harmoniously they get along.

It's not that Song Zhiyuan and Guan Sheng couldn't come up with a thousand or two, or even ten thousand; they simply couldn't do it that way.

They have certain requirements for the amount of money given as a gift, which can only be based on the normal market rate in the local area. Giving too much money would easily be considered a violation of regulations.

The normal local price is one or two hundred.

Lin Lang and Yan Li took Guan Sheng to the restaurant inside the villa. This was where Yan Li's family would eat later. It couldn't accommodate many people, so it was reserved for some special guests.

For example, He Qiang, Lei Hongyi, Qin Haiyang, Song Zhiyuan and the person Song Zhiyuan brought, plus Yan Li's family of three, and now Guan Sheng, the table is full of people. If Lin Lang wants to sit here, he'll have to squeeze in a bit.

Lin Lang led Guan Sheng to sit down, while Yan Li fetched a teacup and poured Guan Sheng a cup of tea.

Lin Lang sat down next to Guan Sheng and asked, "Is Leader Guan worried?"

There's no doubt that it's unusual for Guan Sheng to travel such a long way for such a trivial matter.

"No, no, Tianjin Capital is doing a very good job."

Guan Sheng was definitely worried, after all, he hadn't expected Lin Lang's previous plan to come to fruition so quickly.

Moreover, he only agreed with the first half; he didn't even dare to think about the second half, which involved manipulating the liquor sector and fighting a major battle with those mutual funds.

As a result, all of Lin Lang's plans have come to fruition.

Lin Lang was extremely confident in the new energy sector and also extremely confident in the liquor sector; there were many things he couldn't understand.

In his view, as long as those public funds don't actively manipulate the market, Lin Lang's plan will be largely ruined, and it might even drag Tianjin Capital into a quagmire, forcing Tianjin Capital to keep borrowing money to save itself.

Or perhaps they're siphoning profits from Tianjin Global Selection.

"If you need anything, just tell us directly. Don't stand on ceremony with us. After all, we don't intend to be polite with you."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I was just unsure about your relationship. Now that I've heard about it, I thought I'd come and join in the fun. You don't need to worry about me, just go about your business."

Guan Sheng felt much more relaxed after seeing Lin Lang and Yan Li.

Lin Lang and Yan Li were both calm and confident, and that was enough.

Essentially, it was because this matter was beyond his capabilities. If it were something he could do himself, he wouldn't care how others did it, as he had a clear understanding of every step of the process.

Even if you give him another ten or twenty years, he still wouldn't know how to leverage the established foundations of those public funds, while Tianjin Capital, a newcomer, is aiming for the highest goals right from the start.

He felt like Benbo'erba from Journey to the West, who suddenly received an order to eliminate Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

He knew that it would be good; if he succeeded, he would not only become famous but also attain enlightenment.

The problem is that he doesn't have that ability.

Just then, he encountered a green ox, who claimed that he could eliminate Tang Sanzang and his disciples. Before the ox revealed its golden headband, he certainly didn't believe it.

In this situation, as an insider, he knows that Tianjin Capital has a powerful backing and is planning to take over the shares of those established public funds, but whether it can actually be done is still uncertain. Unfortunately, he can't help much in this matter.

Besides cheering and shouting, they also help maintain the metal rings to prevent them from rusting later.

If he wants to see the power of Tianjin Capital, he can only keep it close at hand; he won't feel at ease if it goes elsewhere.

This was the only way to win over those veteran mutual fund managers. He needed to prevent others from stealing the Golden Circle (a metaphor for a powerful financial institution), and also prevent others from knowing Tianjin Capital's trump card.

Just then, Lin Yuliang arrived at the restaurant entrance and, upon seeing Lin Lang, said, "Langlang, Lili's dad is looking for you outside."

"Okay, come right away."

Lin Lang agreed and turned to Guan Sheng, saying, "Please have some tea and rest here for a while. I'll come over when I'm done with my work."

"Alright, alright, don't worry about me, your business is more important."

……

After Lin Lang and Yan Li came out, Yan Keming brought Huang Yusheng and a few others over and said, "Langlang, let me introduce you. This is General Manager Huang Yusheng from the provincial capital. He came here specifically to see you."

When Lin Lang saw Huang Yusheng, he reached out his hand and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Huang, I've heard so much about you. We've been in contact before."

Huang Yusheng took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Lang, "Yes, I didn't expect President Lin to remember. I hope President Lin won't take offense at my visit today."

"Haha, how could that be? Mr. Huang, it's an honor for our family that you could come in person. Please have a seat."

Yan Keming, who was standing to the side, said, "Langlang, President Huang came here today because he has something to discuss with you. Let's find a quiet place to sit for a while?"

Huang Yusheng has just spoken with Yan Keming and shared his thoughts.

However, the specifics still need to be discussed with Lin Lang; Yan Keming cannot make the decision on his own.

However, in Yan Keming's view, this matter was a very small thing for Tianjin Capital, but a big deal for Huang Yusheng.

It would be quite profitable to take the opportunity to do Huang Yusheng a favor.

In short, Huang Yusheng hoped that Tianjin Capital could give them a chance to withdraw their funds, so that the stocks would not plummet to their daily limit after trading resumed, preventing them from getting out.

Secondly, he wants to further deepen his cooperation with Tianjin Capital, and we can work on some low-priced sectors, simply pushing them up a few times, which would satisfy Huang Yusheng.

With the size of Tianjin Capital, doing these things is a piece of cake.

If you feel that pulling down the low-priced sectors is not a good idea, you can tell Huang Yusheng about the stocks that Tianjin Hybrid Selection is preparing to increase its holdings in and push up, so that Huang Yusheng can get a ride.

Either way, it's a minor matter.

As for any rules or irregularities, who would talk about that?

Moreover, Lin Lang didn't need to be so blunt. He didn't want to leave any leverage for others, and if something went wrong, it wouldn't affect Tianjin Capital.

Insider trading and front-running would be the ones punished if something goes wrong. Tianjin Capital didn't engage in front-running, and Huang Yusheng's small amount of money didn't bring any benefits to Tianjin Capital.

At most, it was just that Tianjin Capital accidentally leaked the information.

As for the conversion of profits, Yan Keming naturally has other methods and will not cause trouble for Tianjin Capital.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Lang said, "Okay, let's go to the restaurant. There's no one there, so we can eat together later."

Yan Li, who was standing to the side, didn't quite know who this Huang Yusheng was.

He seemed like an old friend of Lin Lang's, but Lin Lang's behavior was somewhat strange.

Is Guan Shengzai at the restaurant? Does Lin Lang want Guan Shengzai to meet with them?

Guan Sheng's identity is rather sensitive, so normally he should just have a meal and leave, otherwise Lin Lang wouldn't have called him to the restaurant so quickly.

At this moment, Lin Lang pulled Yan Keming aside and said to Huang Yusheng and the others, "Let's go over now."

Yan Keming didn't pay much attention at first, until Lin Lang grabbed his shoulder and led him to the restaurant, and then... he saw someone.

Yan Keming stopped in his tracks instantly, but Lin Lang was holding him back. "Uncle Yan, they're all our people inside, it's alright."

Yan Keming: "..."

Damn it, are they even on our side?
That's Guan Sheng!

This time, they're going to discuss how to gain personal benefits through illegal and irregular means.

Discussing how to cheat in front of officials?

"Lin Lang, are you sure?"

"I'm sure, it's definitely not a problem."

Yan Keming: "..."

Under Lin Lang's forceful pulling, Yan Keming was forced to go inside.

I found a spot and reluctantly sat down.

He really didn't want to face this scene.

When did Guan Sheng get here? Shouldn't he be at work?
Besides, Lin Lang's family didn't have anything important to do, so why did he have to come over in person?
As for Huang Yusheng...

If you mention Guan Sheng's name, he might feel a sense of familiarity, or he might even realize who it is, but he has no chance of ever meeting Guan Sheng.

Upon seeing a stranger in the restaurant, Huang Yusheng immediately smiled and gestured.

Guan Sheng nodded with a smile.

Lin Lang arranged for everyone to sit down and said, "Everyone here today is one of us. Mr. Huang, please feel free to say whatever you want to say."

Huang Yusheng said with a smile, "President Lin, to be honest, the main thing we want to ask for this time is for Tianjin Capital to help us. But we certainly won't just ask for things offhand. Tianjin Capital can just tell us what conditions they want."

In Huang Yusheng's view, although Yan Keming did not directly agree, his attitude was already very clear.

At this point, let's just be clear.

If Lin Lang wanted to avoid the topic, he could simply find an excuse to steer clear of it.

At this moment, Yan Keming coughed and said, "President Huang, Lin Lang is a senior executive at Tianjin Capital. Let's just chat casually and not talk about finance, lest he violate the rules."

Yan Keming also didn't want anything to happen to Huang Yusheng.

Huang Yusheng was a little stunned.

What do you mean?
Lin Lang hasn't even stated his position yet, so why is he already hinting at it?

He glanced at Lin Lang, wanting to see Lin Lang's expression at this moment.

Lin Lang said, "It's alright, Mr. Huang, just say what you need. We're all family here, so we won't spread rumors. Is it that Mr. Huang needs Tianjin Capital's help to boost the stock price?"

Yan Li: "??????"

No, Huang Yusheng came here for this?

Guan Sheng is here!

And Lin Lang, he just blurted this out like that?

Was he trying to frame Huang Yusheng, or was he trying to drag Guan Sheng down with him?

Trying to drag Guan Sheng down with them won't be so easy.

What's the point of ripping off Huang Yusheng?

Huang Yusheng can chat and laugh with his father, so he must be a powerful CEO himself. There's no need to make an enemy of someone like that.

Even if you don't want to cooperate with the other party, you can politely decline.

Huang Yusheng glanced at Yan Keming and noticed that Yan Keming's expression was rather serious.

However, Lin Lang made it clear from the other side.

In other words, Lin Lang didn't mind saying it to my face at all, and even gave me a way out, so I could just go along with it.

He thought for a moment, then said without further hesitation, "To be honest, Mr. Lin, our funds are tied up in the stocks that Tianjin Capital has acquired. We came here today hoping that Tianjin Capital can help us get our funds out after the stocks resume trading after the New Year."

"Is that all? On the first day of trading after the resumption, you should be able to exit by placing orders through the channel. At that time, funds will enter the market to try and hit the daily limit up."

Lin Lang continued.

These words completely put Huang Yusheng at ease.

Lin Lang really doesn't shy away from this topic.

Come to think of it, who were all there? His future father-in-law, his girlfriend, and someone who was probably also a very good business partner.

"There might be opportunities after the stock resumes trading, but our funds involve many people, and we want to make a profit in the market. So, in addition to that, we would like to ask Mr. Lin for some guidance."

This is quite simple. The Tianjin Hybrid Selection Fund's net asset value increases so much every day, it must be constantly driving up the market.

Tell yourself that you can just follow their lead and make a quick buck.

Lin Lang nodded. "I understand. It means I'm telling you about the current targets of Tianjin Hybrid Selection, right?"

"If it's inconvenient for President Lin to say, he can have someone else tell us. In short, we will definitely show our sincerity. President Lin has helped us this time, and in the future, whatever President Lin wants in the provincial capital, we will do our best to help him."

Huang Yusheng had made up his mind that once he had a partnership with Lin Lang, it could continue indefinitely.

Under the leadership of Tianjin Capital, he has been able to generate exceptional returns every year.

With a stable annual income, he can naturally build a stronger network of contacts, making it easier for him to do anything he wants.

This is an exchange of interests.

If you can help people make money, you can trade power with them.

Yan Li, standing to the side, glanced at Guan Sheng and noticed that Guan Sheng's expression was starting to look rather unpleasant.

Such behavior is tantamount to saying one wants to rebel in front of the emperor, or saying one wants to embezzle in front of the imperial envoy.

Private equity is also under the control of Guan Sheng.

Lin Lang hesitated slightly before saying, "Mr. Huang, this is illegal."

By this time, Huang Yusheng had said everything he needed to say.

If Lin Lang had told him from the beginning not to do anything illegal, he could have thought Lin Lang was hinting at something.

Now that Lin Lang said this, he felt that Lin Lang wanted to see if the benefits he was offering were enough to tempt him.

Huang Yusheng chuckled and said, "President Lin, you're overthinking it. Only a few of us know about this. You and President Yan are father-in-law and son-in-law, and young President Yan is family to you. And this gentleman..."

Huang Yusheng looked at Guan Sheng.
