Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 352 The Frenzy of Tianjin Wealth Coins

At 3 p.m., the traditional workday is completely over.

The net asset value of Tianjin Hybrid Optimized was down one point the day before Chinese New Year's Eve.

After dinner, Yan Li told Lin Lang.

It was just a casual remark, a way of putting an end to the work.

Lin Lang watched Wang Bo's live stream for a while. After 10 p.m., the number of viewers in his live stream had stabilized at 10,000, and Lin Hui was constantly sending out money.

Today's live stream was quite long, only around 8 o'clock. Wang Bo ate some food while streaming, and didn't play for about an hour in total.

He is a typical example of someone who became an overnight sensation. At least 30% of the users on the platform today have entered his live stream. The total number of followers in his live stream has exceeded 60,000, with a peak of over 30,000 concurrent viewers, all thanks to the influx of viewers through virtual gifts.

Wang Bo didn't finish his live stream until after 1 a.m.

Although Lin Hui gave out more than 200,000 yuan, Wang Bo also received nearly 20,000 yuan in individual tickets and more than 20,000 yuan in tips from Lin Hui, so he managed to break even a little bit.

Lin Lang only found out the next morning. After all, with Yan Li in his arms, it was hard for him to think about anything else.

Lunar New Year's Eve represents the last day of the year in the true sense; tomorrow is the New Year.

Even after New Year's Day, Chinese people still habitually think that it is still 2018, when in fact it is already February 2019.

On New Year's Eve, my family did a lot of things according to tradition.

For example, lunch was homemade and very plentiful, with more than a dozen dishes. Even though five people couldn't possibly finish it all, the leftovers had a nice name: "May you have abundance every year."

In normal times, this would be called extravagance and waste.

In the afternoon, Yan Li changed into a red outfit, filmed a video in her room, and posted it online.

The video mainly consisted of greetings and best wishes to the fans.

Of course, there were no New Year's red envelopes or anything like that, not even a single Tianjin Wealth Coin.

Yan Li simply can't bear to part with it right now.

Tianjin Wealth app now has 20 million registered users. If each user receives one, Yanli's account will lose one-fiftieth of its gold coins.

She has already prepared dozens of mock-up plans for the Tianjin Wealth Gold Coin, and basically every plan can prove that this thing is very valuable.

Currently, the black market price for buying Tianjin Wealth Gold Coins is 15 yuan.

Since Lin Lang announced that the number of these gold coins was limited, the price quickly rose from five yuan to ten yuan, and over the course of a week, it slowly rose to fifteen yuan.

In Yan Li's view, the price of gold coins may surge again on April 1st, because... starting from April 1st, the production of gold coins will be fixed at 10 million per month, and those who sign in can only share 5 million.

Based on the current daily check-in rate of 10 million, an account would need to check in continuously for two months to earn one gold coin.

Extremely difficult!

At that point, many people will probably not participate in this project at all.

As the CEO of Tianjin Capital, she naturally knew what features would be available when the official version of the Tianjin Wealth app was released.

Those gold coins can be converted into Tianjin Mixed Preferred Credit, with no upper limit.

One gold coin can be exchanged for a 100-yuan credit.

At the same time, you can also exchange gold coins for quotas of QDII funds related to Tianjin Capital, which is also one gold coin for one hundred yuan.

However, this is limited; each person can only redeem 100 tokens per month, which is a quota of 10,000 yuan, with a maximum of 500 tokens.

However, this quota is not always available. Tianjin Global Selection definitely doesn't have it. We can only wait for Tianjin Capital to issue a new QDII fund, at which time a portion of the quota can be reserved.

Lin Lang's plans are all very ingenious.

First of all, it's simply impossible to accumulate 500 gold coins in a personal account, even with the 100 Lin Lang gave you on the first day.

In other words, to fully utilize the credit limit, you must purchase it from the market.

If it's an average family, then with the whole family working together, several accounts combined should be enough; there's no money to buy more.

However, some middle-class individuals have a particularly high demand for credit limits and definitely want to max out every account.

If a family of five has five members, they will need 2,500 gold coins.

This is the gap.

Tianjin Capital's domestic funds have seen limited growth, especially Tianjin Hybrid Selection, which is already quite large. Even if Lin Lang were to achieve extraordinary success, doubling his investment in a year would be the limit.

QDII funds, on the other hand, have no upper limit.

Lin Lang can leverage his assets wildly, and given the volatile nature of overseas markets, it's possible for him to achieve three or four times his initial investment in a year, or even just a starting point.

If we calculate based on a fivefold increase, many people would definitely be willing to spend three hundred or even five hundred yuan to buy gold coins.

As long as the price of gold coins keeps rising, many people might not use them at all.

After all, using it to exchange for investment quotas is just buying an expectation, but with gold coins in hand, the expectation can be realized at any time.

Judging from the backend data, at least hundreds of accounts are already frantically hoarding gold coins, and they certainly won't need that many.

……

Guo Kai is a working-class person who rarely pays attention to things outside of work.

He didn't even know Tianjin Capital existed.

I only rushed back to my hometown last night for the Spring Festival, and slept until 11 a.m.

When he woke up, he found that his parents were not at home.

It's the Lunar New Year, how could things have to come to this?

He took out his phone, called his mother, and asked, "Mom, where are you?"

"They're still in town, waiting in line. You guys sleep a little longer, we'll eat later..."

"Queue up? What are we queuing for?"

"It's about selling those gold coins. They've gone up to ten yuan each now. Your dad and I had saved up a dozen or so over the time, so we sold them. It was free money."

"Gold coins? What gold coins? Don't be fooled!"

"How could you be fooled? I sold it once before, and the person buying the gold coins isn't a stranger. You know He Qiang from Xiashui Village, right? His son did it..."

Guo Kai must know He Qiang from Xiashui Village; he's the richest person in the entire town.

But he still couldn't understand what gold coins they were.

"Mom, where are you in line? I'm coming to find you now."

He was still a little worried.

"Right at the entrance of the middle school."

"Row."

Guo Kai couldn't find his electric scooter, so he simply rode a bicycle towards town. After all, it was still three or four kilometers away, and walking would take forever.

A dozen minutes later, he arrived near the middle school and saw a long line of people from afar.

At the very front of the line, there were only three tables. The elderly people would walk up, hand their phones to the person on the other end, fiddle with them for a moment, and then pull out cash.

What Guo Kai was certain of was that the other party really did pay him.

However, there are too many scams in my hometown. My mother was once tricked out of her identity information by someone using two bags of laundry detergent, and that person used her identity information to get a loan.

There are also various on-the-ground promotional activities to attract new customers, but those activities aren't as generous. After searching for a while, he found his mother, leaned over, and asked, "Mom, what exactly are you guys doing?"

Guo Kai's mother took out her phone, opened the Tianjin Wealth app, and said, "It's these gold coins. You get them for signing in every day. They say these gold coins are very valuable. At first, they only gave three yuan each, but now they've increased to ten yuan."

"Tianjin Wealth app? What is that? Is it a scam app?"

"We didn't spend any money, they even gave us money. Go ask them for a download code and download it."

"What? I need a download code? This is definitely a scam!"

Guo Kai panicked. Why would legitimate software need to be promoted in that way? It can be easily downloaded from major app stores.

"They're not scammers, I didn't give them any money!"

Guo Kai: "..."

He felt he couldn't convince his mother anymore, so he opened his phone and searched for the Tianjin Wealth app.

As a result, various web pages appeared very quickly.

Is this Tianjin Capital's own app?

Public beta testing phase?

No, what is Tianjin Capital?

He continued browsing the news and discovered that many of the reports about Tianjin Capital were actually published by major media outlets.

All the way up to one headline: This fund increased sevenfold in just one month! Only Tianjin Capital could break the record they created.

It was only then that Guo Kai gradually realized that Tianjin Capital was a public fund.

However, when he searched on Alipay's fund platform, he couldn't find Tianjin Hybrid Selection or Tianjin Global Selection.

"A conman who buys press releases?"

Then he discovered another piece of information: Tianjin Capital had been continuously acquiring stakes in CATL, BYD, and a host of other companies...

Guo Kai is also a stock investor, but he hasn't looked at his stock account for more than half a year.

There's no other reason; I'm deeply trapped.

In 2015, he invested over 30,000 yuan, lost so much that he only had a little over 10,000 yuan left. He couldn't bear to cut his losses, so he just left it there.

He knew he wouldn't be able to get out of this mess anytime soon, so he simply ignored it.

I opened the stock trading software and found that all the stocks that Tianjin Capital had acquired stakes in were suspended from trading.

So he searched for news on the relevant stock's page, continuing down to a week ago...

The shareholder information is not yet displayed.

However, he gradually figured it out from the news about the integration of brokerage platforms.

This Tianjin Capital is incredibly powerful.

At the same time, he also learned about Yan Li.

I opened the short video platform, searched for Yan Li's account, and saw that he had nearly 30 million followers and Yan Li's personal signature.

Tianjin Capital is a very reputable company, as evidenced by various online reports. Moreover, it has achieved remarkable success in just over two months since its establishment.

But what is the purpose of the Tianjin Wealth app? Why does it seem like a scam?
So he asked his mother for her phone and browsed through the Tianjin Wealth app carefully.

He would click on all sorts of posts related to gold coins, and only later did he notice the pinned announcement.

It took him more than ten minutes to gradually understand why someone was buying up the gold coins from the Tianjin Wealth app.

Because two of Tianjin Capital's star funds have purchase restrictions!
Gold coins can be exchanged for investment quotas.

Ten yuan for a single gold coin can be exchanged for a 100 yuan credit limit. A 10% increase will break even on the cost of the gold coin, and everything after that is pure profit.

Moreover, he also saw the black market, where quite a few people were already offering fifteen yuan.

"Mom, people are offering fifteen yuan each to buy them."

"What? Really?"

"Really, let's go home first and not sell for now. Who knows, the price might go up even more in a few days."

Guo Kai was just making an excuse to send his parents back, because it would take at least an hour to get a turn in line for them.

It's Chinese New Year, and he finally came back; he just wanted to have a meal.

At the same time, I don't want my parents to suffer in the cold outside.

He knew that his parents definitely wanted to earn some money, even if it was just ten or eight yuan.

After all, his salary wasn't high, only a little over 8,000 a month, and he had a wife and children to support, so his parents didn't want to add to his burden.

When a person is poor, they have no right to talk about having a broad perspective.

Even a plastic bottle on the street is good.

"The price can still go up? I'm just worried they won't accept it anymore..."

"There will definitely be buyers, don't worry. I'll help you sell them, and I'll register an account too... Let's all save up these gold coins together to sell for money!"

……

As young people returned to their hometowns, the practice of collecting gold coins in many towns and villages gradually became known to some of them.

Similarly, more and more young people are becoming aware of Tianjin Capital.

He Qiang's son, He Yifan, didn't get home until very late. He said to his father, "Dad, we didn't sell much today. Many old men and women didn't want to sell anymore."

"What's the matter?"

“Their son and daughter came back and said our prices were too low.”

He Qiang nodded; the price was indeed not high.

"Why don't you ask your classmate to help you collect the goods in their hometown? We don't have much time left... As for the places we visited before, we can raise the price a bit, let's just call it fifteen..."

He Qiang is now collecting fewer and fewer gold coins in the app because most people are unwilling to sell them anymore.

Another reason is that there are more competitors.

On the black market, there are currently more than ten reputable buyers who have never had any problems, and they have taken away a large portion of the business.

The offline route was the only stable one. He specially assembled a team of fifty people to collect gold coins in towns and villages in several nearby cities, and they could collect tens of thousands of gold coins every day.

Judging from the accounts of several reputable merchants he follows, they all give away a large amount of gold coins in a concentrated period of time, which suggests that those guys are likely using offline methods as well.

Time is running out; there are only three months left.

The gold coins generated after three months are barely worth anything, and are basically not enough to cover the costs of offline collection.

In several nearby cities, besides him, there are also some investors from Xincheng Capital, who are now also on the Tianjin Capital team and are also conducting offline activities.

It's just that it's not as big as the stalls I set up myself, but on average I can still earn several thousand gold coins every day.

We're racing against time right now.

"By the way, go to bed early tonight, and come with me to wish your Uncle Lin a Happy New Year first thing tomorrow morning!"
