Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

After Chapter 354, Lin Lang will be your brother-in-law.

If she goes to visit relatives, Shen An'an might not be there anymore.

The reality is that even if they don't visit relatives, Shen Xingnan's family isn't here.

On New Year's Eve, Shen Xingnan's family went back to their hometown and would stay there for several days before returning.

When Lin Lang and Yan Li arrived, Chen Lin was already preparing lunch.

Yan Keming was originally helping out, but he stopped after Lin Lang arrived and Yan Li took over.

After the two sat down on the sofa, Yan Keming sighed, "Thinking back to the first time I met you, it doesn't seem like long ago, but it still feels like a lifetime ago. We've become family without even realizing it."

"Uncle Yan, you wouldn't be preparing a change of address fee, would you? I came here today with my parents' mission: to earn as many red envelopes as possible to take home."

"Haha, there will definitely be a change of address fee! It just depends on when you and Lili get engaged."

"We'll be quite busy with work after the New Year, so let's skip the engagement ceremony, shall we?"

"It's fine if you don't leave, but has the wedding date been set yet?"

"You'll have to discuss this with my parents. Li Li said that around October 1st, there's a holiday around that time."

What about May Day?

"The May Day holiday is too short, and the company has a lot of plans during that time, so we might not be able to keep up."

Upon hearing that it was part of the company's plan, Yan Keming didn't mention his abilities. "Then I'll go to your house during the May Day holiday to have a good talk with your parents and set the date."

"Row."

Lin Lang had no intention of getting married at all.

The only thing related to him in the whole affair has already been done.

After chatting for a while, Yan Keming took the opportunity to shift the topic to Tianjin Wealth Coins, saying, "After the app version was updated last night, the exchange option and announcement appeared. The price of Tianjin Wealth Coins has increased by three yuan, and a lot of domestic funds have come in."

The price jumped from fifteen to eighteen overnight, a 20% increase.
If the price can remain stable at this level, it means that the market accepts this price.

Anything that gains perceived value will attract speculators.

Lin Lang: "Uncle Yan, we're on the same side. I hope you can continue to increase the acquisition efforts and control the number of gold coins. Even if Tianjin Capital gets a new QDII fund in the future, the quota will be limited. We can't let it cause a run on the first day of its launch."

Yan Keming: "Since we're on the same side, give me a heads-up: what price do you expect gold coins to reach under your system?"

Lin Lang quickly said, "Gold coins themselves have no value; this is the core principle established from the very beginning of the gold coin system. Moreover, Tianjin Capital's QDII quota is limited. This means that even with gold coins, you might not be able to exchange them for a QDII fund quota; at most, you can only exchange them for Tianjin Hybrid Selection. Judging from the situation with Tianjin Hybrid Selection, I think a one-year expectation in the market is the limit. If it were a QDII fund, it's hard to say; it might be a one-month expectation, or it might be a two-month expectation..."

Yan Keming: "..."

Because he knew more and had a deeper understanding of the system than anyone else, he had done a lot of rehearsals in advance.

For example, the Tianjin Mixed Selection option gives a price increase of 200% in one year. Based on the one-year expectation, the price of gold coins would be around 200.

Yan Keming wasn't questioning the veracity of Lin Lang's statement, but rather found Lin Lang's subsequent statement somewhat unbelievable.

Using Tianjin Hybrid Selection as the anchor, one gold coin is worth two hundred, while in QDII funds, it is only worth one or two months' worth of expectation?
In other words, Lin Lang is confident that he can manage a QDII fund and achieve a twelve-fold increase in just one year.

Twelve times! What does that even mean?
Even if he wants to make a profit by doubling his investment, it means he needs to seize four opportunities a year, and four times that is fifteen times.

Yan Keming said with a smile, "With your words, I will definitely do everything I can to control the number."

It's okay for him to play this; it's equivalent to trading virtual items privately, and it's not illegal at present.

Even if he is a minor shareholder of Tianjin Capital, it is not illegal.

After all, every single gold coin he owns has a traceable provenance, and the gifting records of the relevant accounts are always available.

It wasn't generated automatically by the system.

Although at first I thought what Lin Lang said was a bit outrageous, after thinking about it again, it wasn't outrageous at all.

Tianjin Global Selection has seen its stock price increase sevenfold in just one month.

If there's another surge in prices that double, we can easily reach the data Lin Lang mentioned.

This year, the US stock market hasn't seen any particularly volatile market conditions, but Lin Lang has been able to seize the opportunities, which speaks volumes.

If Lin Lang's goal is achieved for two consecutive years, then... the whole thing will go completely insane.

What does it mean if a gold coin is worth 200 yuan?
This means that Lin Lang created a trillion yuan in wealth out of thin air!
And this trillion is distributed to everyone.

However, some people left early and did not receive the wealth they were entitled to, such as those who chose to sell their gold coins for ten or fifteen dollars.

The reason Lin Lang said all this was because he was worried that Yan Keming might dump the shares at that time.

How much money Yan Keming earns is none of his business. Whether he earns less or more, it doesn't matter to him. He has never thought about getting his hands on the value of these gold coins.

Or rather, what he wants in terms of aesthetics is not the intrinsic value of the gold coins, but rather their added value.

For example, he could easily create an event where users could download a certain software and log in for seven consecutive days to receive a gold coin. He has a total of two billion gold coins that he could use for promotional activities.

There was no monetary transaction involved, so it was not illegal at all.

However, he was worried that when the redemption quota was being set, a large number of gold coins would flood the quota, causing many people to be unable to redeem their coins.

Especially the first few times...

It is almost foreseeable that Tianjin Capital will be able to obtain a QDII fund quota in a while, which may be five hundred million US dollars or one billion US dollars.

If Guan Sheng doesn't have any right now, Lin Lang can use Tianjin Global Selection's share.

For example, if Tianjin Global Selection distributes one billion US dollars in dividends, then this one billion US dollars will enter the foreign exchange settlement channel. After the foreign exchange settlement is completed, the US dollar quota will be used to issue new funds.

One billion US dollars, calculated at 50,000 yuan per person, is enough for 130,000 users to fully subscribe, which will consume more than 60 million gold coins.

In reality, if you exclude the gold coins held by those big players, the amount of gold coins on the market is probably less than ten million.

Even if it's another half month, there probably won't be many left. Only those who acted early might be able to collect enough. At least those with gold coins will be able to exchange for it on their first try.

With additional restrictions, such as only being able to redeem 100 gold coins per month, over 600,000 users were able to successfully redeem them on the first day.

Even most users probably can't even scrape together 100 gold coins... The total number of users who can benefit may exceed two million.

That's more than enough, as long as Yan Keming and the others don't release gold coins into the market.

Once they release the gold coins, it will create a competitive environment for many users who cannot collect 100 or 500 gold coins to grab the maximum amount.

The entire gold coin system is scattered like stars in the sky; it's actually not good to gather them together.

Large investors should hold onto their gold coins and let the market gradually absorb some of them before making a move.

In the end, someone will take over any financial instrument. Lin Lang can't do anything about those who enter the market late.

All he could do was try his best to clean up the mess.

Before long, Chen Lin and Yan Li had prepared the meal.

This means that Lin Lang arrived on the first day of the Lunar New Year before the two were even married. If they were married, according to custom, they would have to wait until the second day of the Lunar New Year to come over.

Yan Li's whole family works in finance. Her mother used to be a professor of finance in Shanghai and later went to Citibank. In the financial industry, she is incredibly powerful in terms of both connections and abilities.

During their conversation after dinner, Chen Lin told Lin Lang that if he needed any financial tools, he could contact her and she could help.

For Lin Lang, if he were simply to be a pure finance professional, then his current setup is already maxed out.

Unfortunately, he couldn't be a financier for life, and he was also worried that Yan Li's family would be difficult to get along with in the future.

After all, he had to retire at the age of thirty-two, and no one could possibly understand him.

Making money? No matter how much money you make, it can't compare to five or ten years of lazing around at home...

Moreover, once money reaches a certain point, it really just becomes a string of numbers.

Around 3 PM, Lin Lang drove away, having made an appointment with Yan Li to go to Shanghai together on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Lin Lang was driving home when he suddenly changed his mind at an intersection.

Shuanghe Town is not far from the county seat, only about eight kilometers away in the past.

However, it's quite far from Xigang Town, nearly 20 kilometers.

This road was unfamiliar to Lin Lang, so he relied entirely on navigation.

After arriving in Shuanghe Town, he took out his phone and sent a message to Shen An'an.

In fact, Shen An'an had already sent him a Happy New Year message in the early hours of the morning, but he was busy with something at the time, and after he finished, he was too embarrassed to reply in front of Yan Li, so he simply pretended not to see it.

After all, Yan Li's cheeks were still flushed at that time, and because of the strenuous exercise, she was still tightly hugging herself and her whole body was trembling. It would be disrespectful for him to immediately reply to messages from other women.

To love what you do is the most basic thing.

Only now has it become a formal response.

Shenqiao Village was originally called Wangqiao Village, but the name was changed later.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shen An'an has always had one traditional activity: visiting each household to offer New Year's greetings.

I have to work from 8 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. before I can go home and rest for a while.

She personally really enjoys these kinds of activities. No matter which place she goes to, she receives a warm welcome and is showered with small red envelopes.

But things aren't so fun once you get home. All sorts of relatives and neighbors crowd the house, making it impossible to move around.

She can only play outside. Although it's a bit cold, the air is much better than at home.

The threshing ground in her hometown was her favorite place.

Although no one uses this place anymore, many things are still preserved, such as the stone mill.

Stepping on it is especially fun.

Then, I received a message from Lin Lang.

"You've come to Shuanghe? I'm in Shenqiao."

"I ate, but there were too many people at noon, so I wasn't full..."

"Go to town? Great, great..."

Shen An'an never expected that Lin Lang would come to see her on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

She slept with her mother last night because there aren't many bedrooms in her hometown, and her uncles have all come back, so there aren't enough rooms.

Shen An'an always felt awkward in front of her parents because she wasn't good enough.

Even though my parents have been encouraging me, I still haven't been able to truly face this issue.

Last night, my mom seemed to have figured it out, and she talked to me about how Yan Li had been staying at Lin Lang's house for several days, and that Lin Lang was going to take Yan Li back today, which meant that they had officially confirmed their relationship.

It's neither certain nor realistic, after all, Yan Li has stayed at Lin Lang's house for several nights.

Shen An'an just responded with a few "uh-huhs," and then she heard her mother say something that kept her up all night.

"Maybe we should just forget about it."

The atmosphere of the first year of junior high school made her temporarily forget about the matter, but when she was alone, she inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.

She felt much better after receiving a message from Lin Lang.

She didn't want to think about it too much for the time being. Lin Lang was also telling her to persevere, which meant that Lin Lang hadn't made a statement yet.

After sending her location to Lin Lang, she went to the village entrance and found a conspicuous spot to wait so that Lin Lang could see her immediately when he arrived.

I had just arrived here when Yan Li called.

"Happy New Year, An'an! I'm a bit busy today. I'll give you a red envelope when you get back."

Happy New Year, cousin.

Shen An'an replied in a cheerful tone, just like in previous years.

Yan Li on the other end of the phone said, "Lin Lang went to your place, right?"

"Huh? Not yet..."

Shen An'an felt that her statement was clever; she simply said "not yet," rather than "there is no such thing as a non-existent objection."

In that case, it wouldn't be considered lying.

Yan Li, however, had clearly already figured it out and said, "Lin Lang and I have set our wedding date for National Day."

"Oh... I'm not at work, so I don't have a red envelope for you."

"From now on, Lin Lang will be your cousin-in-law."

Shen Anan: “…”

She really couldn't keep up the act any longer!

That bastard Yan Li! I've already made so many concessions and haven't embarrassed her, why is she so eager to assert her dominance!
On the other end of the phone, Yan Li said again, "You know, this matter has come to a point where it's no longer just about one or two people, so... there's no other possibility."

"Okay, okay, Happy New Year, bye-bye!"

Shen An'an hung up the phone on her own initiative.

I put my phone back in my pocket, and took the opportunity to keep my hands warm and lazy for a while.

In the quiet environment, some sounds came from the car. Shen An'an looked into the distance and saw a car slowly approaching on the road.

My vision is getting increasingly blurry.
