Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 378 Drinking Baijiu Like Crazy!
Tang Wenquan stayed at home, refusing to listen to his parents' attempts to persuade him to return.

After eating a few bites of the food his parents had cooked, the familiar taste brought tears to his eyes.

However, he left early the next morning.

I spent a night at my hometown, taught my parents how to use the two smartphones I bought for seniors, and most importantly, set up WeChat for each of them and activated data plans on their phones.

After adding each other as WeChat friends, we can video chat whenever we have free time.

Early in the morning, he ate breakfast, packed some things from home, and left the village once again.

Just like when he was studying.

At that time, he was full of ambition and thought that after he made a lot of money in the future, he would bring his parents to the city.

But now, more than ten years have passed, and I watch helplessly as my parents cross the age of sixty, while I have accomplished nothing.

Last night I stubbornly stayed home, but after waking up, I still had to face reality.

It took about half an hour to reach the town. After arriving in the town, we took a bus to the county seat and then went to the train station.

It wasn't until he was on the train that he had time to open the things his parents had packed for him; he knew there would definitely be food inside.

But... the first thing I saw when I opened it was something wrapped in several layers of plastic bags: 30,000 yuan.

……

At this time, Tang Jianguo also came to the town again and found He Qiang's house.

He Qiang has a villa in his hometown, and today, He Qiang happens to be there too.

Is Mr. He home?

Hearing the noise, He Qiang came out and saw an old man. He asked, "Uncle, what do you need me for?"

Tang Jianguo said, "Do you still buy those gold coins? I still have some on my phone, I forgot to sell them before..."

He Qiang said, "We're not accepting any more now. The gold coins we collected before were useless; we lost them all."

"Can you sell it for a lower price?"

Tang Jianguo habitually assumed that others didn't want to pay a high price.

"Uncle, it's not a matter of whether it's cheap or not, but that gold coins are worthless now, so there's no use for me."

However, seeing the old man's appearance, He Qiang took out a hundred yuan from his pocket, handed it to Tang Jianguo, and said, "Uncle, if you have nothing to do, just keep signing in every day and get the gold coins first. Consider this hundred yuan my deposit. I'll buy more from you if I need anything in the future, how about that?"

How do I sign in?

"Do you have a cell phone?"

"Have."

Tang Jianguo took out his new phone, which He Qiang took and pointed to the Tianjin Wealth app that had been downloaded on the phone. After logging in, he found that the old man had quite a lot of gold coins in his account.

What a pity! If it had been yesterday morning, those 130 gold coins would have been worth over 10,000 yuan.

"It's right here. I open it every day, click to sign in, and the coins will automatically be credited to my account. But now these coins can't be transferred, so I can't get them."

He knew that the gold coins in the old man's account must have come from his son.

Because many people in his hometown still use feature phones, he had his son get a batch of cheap phones so he could log in and verify people's accounts in person using verification codes, help them sign in every day, and when he needed to transfer coins, he would just call someone over and give them another verification code.

After finishing and seeing Tang Jianguo off, He Qiang looked helpless.

He received several million gold coins and spent thirty to forty million of them, including arranging for company employees, his son and his son's classmates, and some relatives to help.

They're all stuck with me!

That 20 million was borrowed from the bank under a different name.

After the New Year, the used car business wasn't as busy anymore, and since he no longer needed to please anyone, he went back to his hometown to visit his parents.

Yesterday, I suddenly received news that Tianjin Wealth Gold Coins had been restricted, and I was so angry that I couldn't sleep well all night.

But he's in a much better mood now, since he can afford to lose that amount of money.

If all else fails, just exchange all the millions of gold coins for the Tianjin Mixed Selection quota.

It's simply that he can't come up with the money right now.

My own gold coin cost is only a dozen yuan, and by buying Tianjin Mixed Preferred, I can easily make it back.

Tianjin Capital is still awesome, with a 78% gain in one night, which made him extremely excited. Although he didn't participate, it didn't stop him from shouting: "Brother Lin is awesome!"
"I still can't do without Brother Lin Lang. No matter what he does, he can make a fortune, while I lose money no matter what I try..."

Just then, a voice came from behind, "Qiang, what does Tang Jianguo want with you?"

"Dad, do you know that old man from earlier?"

“He’s from Shanglin Village, of course I know him. It’s just that his son is a good-for-nothing who insists on marrying a city girl, and now he doesn’t even want his parents anymore.”

"He's from Shanglin Village. My family moved away a long time ago, so I don't remember much about that place. He didn't really need anything from me, except that he was looking for someone to collect gold coins before..."

Didn't that business deal lose money?

"It's not exactly a loss. The cost of the goods was low, so I can make it back. Don't worry, I've made a lot of money recently and I don't have any financial pressure."

“I’m not worried about you. If you didn’t earn money, you wouldn’t usually live at home.”

He Qiang: "..."

I always feel like my dad's words have a hidden meaning.

Nominally, it was about Tang Jianguo, but in reality, he also wanted to spend more time at home with his family.

"I've been staying home all this time, haven't I? I'll have used up all those chickens you raised in just half a month!"

"I'll raise more after I've finished this! Our yard is so big, how about I raise a couple more sheep? Then we'll have mutton to eat during the New Year, and homemade mutton is definitely better than store-bought..."

He Qiang: "..."

"Okay, I'll ask around."

"No need to ask around, I know who has it. Come with me."

He Qiang: "..."

It's so good to be rich.

If I had no money or career, I wouldn't have time to come back at this time. It's right after the New Year, which is the perfect time to look for opportunities. I can't go back unless I'm drinking until the wee hours of the morning every day.

……

The more explosive the buzz surrounding Tianjin Capital was on Saturday morning, the stronger the reaction became to the emergency suspension of Tianjin Wealth Gold Coin.

Many newcomers to the game quickly discover that their gold coins are worthless.

Of course, you can redeem quotas, but... where would you find the money to invest?
On Sunday, Yan Li posted a video after a long hiatus. Tianjin Capital and Yan Li are closely linked; the higher Tianjin Capital's profile, the faster Yan Li's follower count skyrockets.

In the beginning of Yan Li's video, he said, "Many people may be interested in investing, but due to various reasons, they have not been able to achieve their ideal state. So today I want to share my own investment philosophy with you."

Who is Yan Li? He's the CEO of Tianjin Capital, who even generated an incredible 78% return overnight yesterday.

He owns a fund that has increased sevenfold in three months and ninefold in two months, with total assets under management exceeding 200 billion yuan.

This is the legend of the financial world.

Who wouldn't listen to what she says?

Yan Li started by talking about financial products in the world, from small things like game items to large things like stocks, bonds, and real estate...

It wasn't until the very end that she brought up gold.

There is a difference between jewelry gold and investment gold. The former requires a processing fee based on the market price of the day, which is often tens to hundreds of yuan more expensive per gram than the market price.

For example, some well-known brands of gold jewelry usually add more than one hundred yuan, or even more than two hundred yuan, to the market price.

There are also some fixed-price gold jewelry traps, where the cost per gram may be two or three hundred yuan higher than the market price.

In the end, Yan Li mentioned the most suitable financial management method for ordinary people: buying gold.

After all, you can buy one gram of gold, or one hundred grams, or even ten thousand grams.

You can't just buy a house for one square meter; stocks and bonds are too risky.

At this point, it's natural to introduce Tianjin Capital's JinZanZan project. Everyone can save up to ten grams of gold per month in the JinZanZan app, converting their spare change into gold. If the gold price rises, they can sell it directly through the app. If they want to withdraw the cash, they can go to the company's store at any time to make an appointment for pickup.

It is especially suitable for young people who have just started working, or couples who are about to get married.

The gold sold at Jinzanzan is only five yuan per gram more expensive than the market price; it's purely for investment purposes.

Yan Li has many loyal fans, and many people downloaded the video after it was released.

Currently, the Jinzanzan project doesn't actually have any gold in hand.

"I bought about two tons from the London Metal Exchange. It should be delivered in about two weeks. That should be enough, right?"

In Yan Li's view, two tons of gold is more than enough for those users to consume.

After all, each person only gets 10 grams per month, so how many people can come?
"Two tons isn't enough, let's calculate it by multiplying by ten per month..."

"Huh? Twenty tons a month? The London Metal Exchange only ships out two or three hundred tons of gold every year."

The main activity there is spot contract trading, which means... you don't actually have to bring out gold; you just gamble on contracts.

Spot goods and spot contracts are two different things.

If Yan wants to buy physical goods, he can only buy futures. After paying certain transportation costs, someone else will deliver them to him.

“It’s alright, we’re here. They can ship out four or five hundred tons a year. Once these two tons arrive, we’ll immediately mortgage them to the bank, get the money, and continue buying.”

Lin Lang started the "Gold Accumulation Project" to cover up his gold hoarding.

You can't just hoard gold for no reason.

Are you bullish on gold?

"Of course, I'm bullish, but this could take ten, twenty, thirty, or fifty years... When the dollar experiences a certain crisis of confidence, the world will definitely choose some safe-haven assets, and gold is basically the best choice. Most importantly, this can enhance Tianjin Capital's financial foundation. When prices are not rising, we can act as sellers and buyers of gold, earning the price difference. If gold prices rise, our holdings of a certain amount of inventory will be a powerful tool for leveraging the financial market."

Once gold prices rise, more and more people will be willing to participate in gold trading. At that point, even if those people in the "Gold Accumulation" project hold 500 tons or 1000 tons of gold, we won't need that much, because they can't possibly demand delivery of it all. We can sell them data as if it were gold, leveraging it several times over. The various management fees, transaction fees, etc., amount to tens or even hundreds of billions annually…

Their large-scale withdrawal of physical gold suggests only one possibility: a sharp drop in gold prices. If they want to sell, the system can't match the available quotes, and we won't buy back their gold. At that point, they can only demand physical gold. Even if our inventory is depleted, we can still buy it from the market at a very low price…”

Yan Li: "..."

What kind of designs does Lin Lang have?

Very outrageous!
But it's also very tempting.

Will gold prices definitely rise?

Will!

It's just that we don't know how high it will go, or how long it will last.

Yan Li looked at Lin Lang, who calmly outlined a very special product.
Anyone would be excited to design such a product, right?

Based on Yan Li's understanding of Lin Lang, there must be other reasons why he created such a product.

……

The launch of the JinZanZan project has had a certain impact on established public funds.

Because their biggest source of funds is actually novices with little investment experience.

They neither dare to nor know how to deal with stocks.

All they need to do is promote their funds on third-party platforms, and it's easy to get people to buy their funds. Even if it's just a few thousand yuan or tens of thousands, it adds up to a considerable sum.

Now, with the unparalleled popularity of Tianjin Capital, Yan Li has launched the Jin Zan Zan project, which is a killer move for beginners.

A gram of gold costs only a few hundred yuan, but with Yan Li's reputation and influence, it's hard to say how much it will affect them.

It might be tens of millions or hundreds of millions, but it could also turn into billions or even tens of billions.

Is it too much?

not much!

However, this is eroding their core business, making their third-party platforms less and less effective, and their comprehensive moat in the financial field is being gradually broken through by Tianjin Capital.

They knew they couldn't wait any longer.

Because most funds have not performed well over the past year, coupled with Tianjin Capital's outstanding net asset value data, many fund investors have begun to resent them.

If they are gradually eroded by Tianjin Capital, they will be dismantled in just a few years.

We absolutely must now analyze net asset value!

In particular, some star funds must rebuild their net asset value and attract funds back from the market.

Tianjin Capital is after the new energy sector, right? Then they'll abandon the new energy sector altogether!

In any case, according to their research data, there are no particularly good prospects for the new energy sector within a year, and it is unlikely to make any major breakthroughs.

The consumption of baijiu is different; they have already taken advantage of the Spring Festival to drive up the price of baijiu.

With the monetary easing measures implemented this year, the overall data for the consumer sector is bound to see a significant improvement, making this a very suitable year.

Dry white liquor!
Go all out!
