Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 385 Having a Sense of Distance

For the dozen or so public funds in Shanghai, the large ones have hundreds of billions or even trillions of yuan in assets, while the small ones have only a couple hundred billion yuan.

Their original conflict with Tianjin Capital was not significant, merely a matter of reputation.

Netizens have been comparing them to Tianjin Capital, even stirring up public opinion that if you're going to buy a fund, you should buy Tianjin Capital's, and that other fund companies are just scamming people.

This made them very unhappy. In addition, Tianjin Hybrid Selection had some irregularities in the early stages of its issuance, so they felt they had to take action against Tianjin Capital.

Unexpectedly, Tianjin Capital stood firm and broke off relations with them, clearly siding with Guan Sheng.

In other industries, Tianjin Capital could easily be considered a scab.

However, now that they belong to capital, they can no longer be described as traitors to workers, but only as capitalist thieves.

Tianjin Capital itself contains the word "capital," yet it has gone so far as to become a capital thief!
Clearly, everyone could grow together if they cooperated, but Tianjin Capital took a completely different path.

At this time, although Tianjin Capital was not the largest in scale, it had the largest number of fund investors.

Even the largest public fund in China has less than half the number of fund investors as Tianjin Capital.

It's only been three months.

Moreover, Tianjin Capital's reach is growing ever wider, and the Jinzanzan project is just the beginning.

With the new QDII fund rising 2.5 times in just six trading days, their Tianjin Wealth Gold Coin system will continuously attract funds to them.

Because this is a project with an extremely high return on investment, no one can refuse it.

Those small funds are the foundation of major public funds. Tianjin Capital started by demanding funds from internet users, and now it's even targeting the small funds of small users.

A thousand dollars? Who can't come up with that?
I wouldn't feel bad even if I lost money.

Therefore, they frequently advertise and promote on third-party platforms, and have even launched various fixed-investment services.

It's about investing tens or hundreds of dollars in a fund every month. Most people don't really care about this amount of money.

But now, fund fixed investment is almost completely worthless in the face of Tianjin Capital.

The Tianjin New QDII Fund's 78-point surge on its first day could be attributed to luck, but now, after six trading days, it has increased 2.5 times, which can no longer be described as luck.

Countless people who were previously observing are now kicking themselves.

When they look back at their regular investment funds, they feel like killing those mutual funds.

A 116% increase in one day was the final straw for those small-scale fixed-amount investors.

With Tianjin Capital dominating the trending topics on the internet for several days, basically anyone in China who has even a little bit of interest in wealth management is getting in touch with Tianjin Capital, witnessing its success, and even... thinking about participating in it.

This is horrible.

It's so terrifying that it threatens to sever their roots.

Therefore, their original plan was to adjust the liquor strategy again, start a surge in sales in mid-March, adjust for half a month in early April, and then start the surge again at the end of April.

However, we simply couldn't wait.

If they wait any longer, all their fund investors will run away!
Tianjin Capital, like a hungry wolf, is rapidly encroaching on the territory that originally belonged to them.

The more rapidly new QDII funds rise, the more they will lose.

Now, they only have one option: to engage in a magical showdown with Tianjin Capital!
It's just about managing net asset value, right? Let's all do it together!

They have to keep up with Tianjin Capital's pace, or they're doomed!

As long as they can hold on, Tianjin Capital will definitely be the first to give up, because they know very well that the A-share market simply doesn't have that much capital. If Tianjin Capital keeps pushing up the new energy sector and it doubles in price, it will face huge losses.

After all, if the price were to rise any further, there would be too many retail investors taking profits. Without large funds entering the market to take over, Tianjin Capital would only have one path: collapse.

The remaining holdings they have will ultimately become the straw that breaks Tianjin Capital's back.

Furthermore, they can frequently use small amounts of capital to profit from the investment, as long as Tianjin Capital is determined to maintain its net asset value.

……

"Damn it, this bastard Tianhong Fund, if it doesn't go up soon, I'm going to sell everything! I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to buy such a piece of junk!"

"Bro, aren't you satisfied with a six-point gain today?"

"I'm so happy! Look how badly it fell before! Look at Tianjin Hybrid Selection, it grew from a net asset value of 1 to a net asset value of 9. And Tianhong? It only rose for three days in the past few months, and it expects me to be grateful? It didn't even make as much as Tianjin Hybrid Selection's one day!"

"Then why don't you buy Tianjin Capital?"

"You think I didn't want to? If it weren't for the purchase limit on Tianjin Mixed Preferred, I would have redeemed all my shares in Tianhong long ago. It's just that this thing rebounded for a few days, and I calmed down a bit..."

"Holy crap, what exactly is Tianjin Hybrid Optimization? Did my internet connection drop? I've never heard of it before!"

"Bro, I'm pretty sure you've been offline this time. This has been trending for days, aren't you going to check it?"

"I didn't see it on Alipay, I only glanced at some of the comments..."

"Alipay is a third-party platform for traditional public funds. You can't even find Tianjin Capital's funds on it. Do you only look at Alipay?"

"Then there's nothing more to say, but you'd better not look, because you'll get envious!"

……

Yan Li had a meal with Gao Yu. The main purpose of her inviting Gao Yu to dinner was to convey a message to Gao Yu: she called Lin Lang because she was jealous.

After all, Gao Yu might also think it was a scheme, believing that Lin Lang did it on purpose.

Now that he's personally stepping in and defining the incident as jealousy, Lin Lang's protection of Gao Yu will be genuine and will put Gao Yu at ease.

Essentially, it was a continuation of the phone call at noon, and the dinner in the evening brought the whole thing to a close.

After dinner, Gao Yu asked, "Lili, Lin Lang might not actually mind some of your jealous behavior."

"I know, but I'm just too scared to try. This current state is fine; if I don't do anything, I won't make a mistake..."

"Okay, then it's up to you. I'm going to Hangzhou tomorrow and won't be coming to Shanghai for a while."

Gao Yu meant that she was there purely for work.

Of course, she must know some of Lin Lang's arrangements.

For example, the company will have a shooting plan at the end of April, which Lin Lang decided on during the Chinese New Year. This shooting plan will last for a long time, and the female internet celebrities from Dayu Media may all participate.

She is also one of Lin Lang's key targets, and he will personally participate in the event, with the aim of raising Mi Xiaofan's fan base to another level.

But this was a confidential matter for Big Fish Media, and she didn't need to tell Yan Li.

Even if the two of them were married, Big Fish Media would still be Big Fish Media, and Yan Li would still be Yan Li.

After chatting for about an hour, the two parted ways, and Gao Yu returned to her hotel.

Lying in bed, she originally wanted to rest, but after hearing what Yan Li said, she couldn't fall asleep.

She had always been focused on Big Fish Media, and even though she knew about Lin Lang's achievements at Tianjin Capital, she hadn't paid much attention, since those things were irrelevant to her. It was only after hearing Yan Li's words today that she vaguely realized what Lin Lang's achievements truly meant.

The reason I didn't feel anything was because I was too close to Lin Lang. When you're close, you don't feel that kind of intimidation.

For example, Mr. Ma's friends wouldn't initially think that having a meal with Mr. Ma was anything to brag about.

However, as Mr. Ma's image became more and more prominent, and as the number of times Mr. Ma met with them decreased, they began to realize the difference between them.

The saying "distance makes the heart grow fonder" is not just a saying.

Being with your wife every day might make you unaware of anything, but once you're apart for a while and look at her from someone else's perspective, the feeling immediately changes.

If you still don't feel anything from someone else's perspective, it can only mean one thing.

My wife really doesn't have many good points.

Yan Li is with Lin Lang every day, yet she can still sense the distance between them; that's a really strong ability.

Having this ability allows Yan Li to maintain a sense of awe at all times.

As she said, you can't go wrong if you don't do anything.

She didn't want to gamble on whether Lin Lang would like her and get jealous, because it wouldn't do her any good if she made the wrong bet.

She already has her current status, why would she want to cause trouble?
Why look for unstable factors?
No matter how close she was to Lin Lang, or how good Lin Lang's personality was, it was not a reason to deliberately act out.

"It seems... she's followed someone remarkable?"

Gao Yu muttered something to herself.

She had just gone through Lin Lang's situation in her mind again.

The more I looked into it, the more surprised I became.

It's not clear how strong Lin Lang really is from Big Fish Media, because Big Fish Media is still in the expansion phase.

However, from Tianjin Capital's perspective, it's a completely different story.

This guy single-handedly built Tianjin Capital to its current size of over 300 billion!
In just over three months, Tianjin Capital has become one of the top ten public funds in the country, and its valuation should start at least at 20 billion yuan.

In just one hundred days, his net worth has increased to tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions? Then his future potential is at least several hundred billion.

A genuine top-tier big shot.

She had seen the mountain since she was a child; the mountain was called Yan Keming.

Having seen it before, she has a system for measuring the height of a mountain.

Yan Keming's high net worth stems from his dedication to investment and his judgment on investment direction. He has spent many years successfully investing in many companies, including some well-known large groups.

For example, it has invested in the hottest ride-hailing company, and although it holds less than 1% of the shares, that company has become an absolute leader in the market.

For example, they have invested in some group-buying businesses, which are currently very popular in the market.

He also invested in several technology companies, including three that went public, which brought him returns of no less than a hundredfold.

Anyone involved in investment is basically inseparable from Dingxin Investment; it's impossible for them not to know this industry giant or ignore his status.

Behind these investments lies Yan Keming's unparalleled network of connections and unmatched access advantages.

Finally, there's his so-called 'billion-dollar net worth'.

Looking back at Lin Lang, he had nothing; he relied solely on his own strength to get to where he is today.

Saying it was a step-by-step process is a bit of an exaggeration; it only took a few months in total, so what does that count as a step-by-step process?

If Lin Lang takes ten years to achieve this, he will still be very impressive, but that's all he will be.

But Lin Lang only took one hundred days.

That's more than just being awesome.

He already possesses the ability to crush all obstacles with his own strength.

What does it matter if you have no connections? What does it matter if you have no relationships? What does it matter if you have no foundation?
Lin Lang had nothing before, yet he still managed to get to where he is today. Now, Lin Lang has everything, and he can only go even further in the future.

Gao Yu suddenly felt a sense of distance within herself.

In this respect, she is not as good as Yan Li.

The emergence of distance gave her a slightly different feeling.

At this moment, a phone call came.

"Yu Yu, have you gone to Shanghai yet? If you have, let me know so I can contact them and you two can at least meet up for a meal and have a chat..."

Gao Yu: "...Mom, why are you in such a hurry? I've arrived in Shanghai, but there's still a lot to do..."

"No matter how many things you have to do, you can't let important life events interfere with your life. You're already twenty-five..."

"Isn't he only twenty-five?"

"Just? When I was your age, you were already running around. Mom knows you've found a new job with pretty good benefits, but eventually you have to settle down and start a family. You can't compare yourself to men. The more successful a man is, the more women he can choose from. For you, age is the most valuable asset. The family your uncle introduced you to this time is really great. They're not only locals from Shanghai, but their families all work in the public sector."

Gao Yu: "..."

Indeed, it's quite impressive. In Shanghai, with the whole family working within the system, they can be considered among the elite. Their accumulated wealth and connections are a huge advantage compared to her, a girl from an ordinary background.

The uncle who helped this time was not Yan Keming, but he was quite close to Yan Keming.

The Yan family is very large; Yan Keming has more than twenty cousins, not to mention a whole host of distant relatives.

The resources that uncle introduced are things that ordinary people wouldn't normally have access to.

She just hasn't really thought about getting married lately.

"Mom, can we talk about it another time? I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. I'll let you know in advance when I have time next time. That's all..."

Gao Yu hung up the phone, worried that her mother would persuade her otherwise.

Then she curled up in bed and tried to fall asleep.

The reason she tried so hard was because she couldn't sleep at first. If she hadn't watched the time slowly pass and it was almost dawn, she wouldn't have been able to clear her mind of those distracting thoughts.

I slept until 8:30. After waking up, I hurriedly packed my things and then picked up my phone to check the train ticket information.

Then, I saw the message from Lin Lang.

"When are you leaving today, Sister Gao? Would you like me to see you off?"

Normally, she would reply normally, saying there's no need to trouble herself, she can just take a taxi there herself.

But as soon as I put my hand on the screen, I blurted out, "I probably can't leave today. My family has arranged a blind date for me in Shanghai."
