Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

"Xiao Lin, thank you so much for coming all this way and bringing such a valuable gift. I'm almost embarrassed."

Su Zhenqing is absolutely right about that.

He had assumed Lin Shen would come empty-handed to discuss signing Yuki, since according to Yuki's description, he wasn't very old, probably around twenty-five or twenty-six.

Rich kids of this age are at the most arrogant and domineering in their lives, and they have no idea what social etiquette is.

To Su Zhenqing's surprise, Lin Shen was so good at handling things, bringing gifts worth forty or fifty thousand yuan!
Not to mention business partners, even when visiting relatives and family, Su Zhenqing had never received such a valuable gift.

This guy is way too arrogant!
Su Zhenqing was astonished and began to look at Lin Shen with new respect.

The more expensive the gift he gives, the more it shows how much he values ​​Yukikoshi.

Regardless of how his company develops in the future, his attitude is evident, which makes Su Zhenqing very happy.

Behike's cigars, in particular, were his favorite things, and he picked them up and couldn't put them down.

If he weren't at home, he might have already started smoking.

"For your trouble."

Su Zhenqing stood up and took the initiative to invite him.

"Why don't you come with me to the backyard?"

"it is good."

Lin Shen got up and followed Su Zhenqing to the backyard. At this moment, Tsurudo Asami also brought out the tea.

"Xiao Lin, you must be tired from the journey. Have some tea."

"Thank you auntie."

Lin Shen smiled slightly, and after politely glancing at Tsurudo Asami a few times, he realized that she really did look like Su Yuqi.

Whether it's her adorable chubby face or her ample bosom comparable to Jiang Wan's, she's stunning enough.

Most importantly, she looks very young, almost the same age as Lin Ping.

Lin Shen estimated that Yuki's mother was no more than twenty-two years old when she was born.

Yuki's dad is quite capable!
Lin Shen silently pondered the dismantling of Yuki's family.

It seems that in her family, the woman is in charge of the home and the man is in charge of external affairs, and Yuki listens to her father more often.

So his gift-giving plan was quite successful.

If they can win over Yuki's father, the signing will most likely succeed.

"You two chat, I'll take Yuki upstairs."

Asami Tsurudo knew very well that it was best to avoid discussing business with men.

So she took Yuki upstairs, leaving Su Zhenqing and Lin Shen alone in the backyard chatting.

"Have you ever worked as a model before?"

Su Zhenqing was the first to ask a question, but the question had nothing to do with Lin Shen's purpose for coming, and could even be said to be completely unrelated.

This is mainly because Su Zhenqing was too curious.

Lin Shen has a strong and well-built physique, which shows that he exercises regularly; he is over 1.8 meters tall and not short; his facial features are also very angular, exuding a masculine aura.

Given his outstanding appearance, Su Zhenqing had only seen him online, so he naturally became curious about his background.

"Or were you a celebrity before?"

"Uncle, you flatter me."

Lin Shen smiled politely, neither humble nor arrogant.

"I have never done these jobs."

"You look quite handsome!"

"This is probably related to my regular exercise and fitness routine."

Lin Shen spoke freely.

"I enjoy exercising, being outdoors, as well as photography and playing guitar. These wide range of hobbies probably make me love life more."

"Yes."

Su Zhenqing said wistfully, suddenly having a different view of Lin Shen.

In his mind, rich second-generation entrepreneurs who start media companies should be the kind of petty thugs with chaotic private lives, who spend their days indulging in lavish and decadent lifestyles.

After all, these kinds of people love going to nightclubs and becoming internet celebrities.

Therefore, based on this stereotype, Su Zhenqing did not have much affection for Lin Shen before he arrived; in fact, he disliked him more than he liked him.

But after meeting him in person, Su Zhenqing's assessment of him underwent a complete change.

He has a wide range of interests, is humble and polite, and understands human relationships.

These qualities, which are usually found only in mature middle-aged people, have somehow come together in a young man.

This was something Su Zhenqing hadn't expected.

If the roles were reversed, and he were able to access high society in his twenties and have more money than he could spend...

He would definitely become decadent and degenerate, and would never be able to devote most of his energy to entrepreneurship like Lin Shen.

This requires sacrificing one's usual carefree lifestyle.

But the fact that Lin Shen is able to be so self-disciplined shows that even if he is not a good person, he can't be too bad.

After Su Zhenqing's opinion of Lin Shen changed, he gradually gained a better understanding of the matter of Lin Shen signing a contract with Yuki.

"How old are you?"

"twenty five."

"What do you do at home?"

"invest."

"So what do you do for a living?"

?

Seeing Lin Shen raise an eyebrow, Su Zhenqing realized just how bizarre his question was.

What kind of job is he doing... He clearly came to talk to Yuki about signing a contract, of course it's about starting a business!
I was so stupid!

Su Zhenqing felt embarrassed in front of a junior like Lin Shen, and his face even felt slightly hot.

However, Lin Shen gave a different answer.

"I'm currently starting a business in the pet industry."

The pet industry?

Su Zhenqing was stunned.

"Aren't you in media? This has nothing to do with the pet industry!"

"I'm working on both."

Lin Shen leaned forward, his legs slightly apart, and he rested his elbows on his knees with his fingers interlaced.

This posture, when speaking, gives the other person a sense of inexplicable pressure and firmly grasps the initiative in the conversation.

Lin Shen knew very well that he wasn't there to build a relationship with Su Zhenqing, but to discuss business.

Since that's the case, there's no need to be overly polite. Instead, you should fully demonstrate your abilities and give him a sense of security that "working with me is definitely the right thing to do."

In business settings, excessive flattery and politeness will only earn you contempt from others.

Only with great strength can one earn the respect of others.

Lin Shen then gave a brief account of his plans for founding Shennan.

"I have founded Shennan Pet Industry and mainly work in this field. The media is just a means for me to promote my main business."

"Because I considered that today's society is an online traffic society, only by controlling traffic can one take the initiative in business."

"Therefore, a media company is necessary. If I don't establish one myself, I will cooperate with a media company later to advertise my Shennan Pet Industry."

"Instead of doing that, why not create it yourself..."

Upon hearing Lin Shen's business blueprint, Su Zhenqing was deeply impressed and amazed by his business acumen and ability to manage the overall situation.

They've already thought that far ahead?

They even considered the future development direction and made plans in advance.

This little guy is quite ambitious!
Surprisingly, the media company wasn't his main job! "Can you manage all that energy?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Su Zhenqing became slightly worried.

"Setting up two companies at once is something I've never heard of before. Putting aside the fact that these two companies have completely different natures, just handling the affairs of the companies must take a long time, right?"

"Don't worry about that, the company isn't managed by me alone."

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

“I have two business partners who help me manage these two companies separately, which greatly reduces the amount of work I have to do.”

Should we let our partners manage it?
Su Zhenqing frowned slightly, then kindly reminded him.

"Aren't you afraid that by doing this, they will seize real power in the company?"

"Not afraid."

"why?"

"Because I hold the majority of the shares, I also have veto power over the board's decisions."

Lin Shen's lips curled up slightly.

"Moreover, these business partners all have very close relationships with me, and they will not betray me."

?

Lin Shen's words piqued Su Zhenqing's curiosity, and he leaned down to ask in a low voice.

"What intimate relationship? It can't be..."

"Just as you think."

Lin Shen revealed a meaningful smile that only men could instantly understand.

Upon seeing this, Su Zhenqing instantly understood, and a feeling of envy and jealousy suddenly welled up within him.

Hey!
I just said that this guy seemed like a pretty decent person, but I never expected his relationships with women to be so messy!

However, it's understandable. A young man as handsome, rich, and with such high emotional intelligence as Lin Shen must have many women around him.

But Su Zhenqing never expected that he would be willing to let the woman next to him manage the company.

Isn't this causing trouble?

Su Zhenqing has always had a strong sense of male chauvinism, and the fact that he married Tsurudo Asami, whose hometown also has a strong tradition of male chauvinism, further exacerbates this.

This led him to believe that business matters should be handled by men, and women should not get involved, as they would only cause trouble.

However, Lin Shen's actions changed Su Zhenqing's opinion of him.

He must have his reasons for doing this; perhaps the women he knows are all very capable?

"Good."

Su Zhenqing exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

"Xiaolin, you are the most capable young person I have ever met, without exception."

"I am better than my peers simply because I put my energy into the right things."

That's the magic of language!

Lin Shen did not rush to deny Su Zhenqing's praise, but instead followed up on his words.

This way, you can accept his praise while also highlighting your own abilities and confidence.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhenqing burst into laughter.

"Yes! Your time management skills are much better than your peers. I really envy this ability you have."

"Unlike me, I'm middle-aged and have no control over my own life. My wife is only in her thirties, sigh!"

Su Zhenqing sighed deeply, leaving his words unfinished, but everything was understood without being said.

Only he himself knows the bitterness he endured.

Seeing this, Lin Shen smiled mysteriously and made a suggestion.

"Uncle, how about I teach you a way to exercise?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zhenqing immediately became interested, leaned over, and whispered to Lin Shen like a good buddy.

"What method? Will it work?"

"Of course it worked."

Lin Shen chuckled.

"That's how I became a time management master."

Tell me about it!

So the two of them stopped talking about business and Yuki, and instead had an in-depth conversation about the topics that men care about most, exchanging opinions with each other.

They were so engrossed in their conversation that they seemed to have forgotten the purpose of their meeting.

So Lin Shen reminded him halfway through.

"Uncle, why don't we talk about business first? We can discuss these things when we meet privately later."

"it is good."

Su Zhenqing happily accepted Lin Shen's suggestion, then coughed a few times and said in a serious tone.

"Kobayashi, you know that Yuki is doing very well now. If she signs with you, you should help her take it to the next level, right?"

"of course."

Lin Shen smiled with absolute confidence, and then began to talk about how to help Yuki manage her personal brand.

"Yuki seems to be doing very well now, and she's already a top figure in the Douyin anime and manga community, but many restrictions have affected her development. Am I right?"

"you mean?"

"public opinion."

Lin spoke in a deep, solemn voice.

"The anime community used to be relatively normal, with everyone working hard to promote their favorite anime and characters; but after a series of events, the anime community now seems to have become the playground of the rich second generation."

“Vulgarity, borderline... these inherent labels hurt the hearts of every dedicated cosplayer. In addition, the fact that traffic is skewed in these directions has caused some negative phenomena.”

"If you want to become famous, besides accumulating seniority and time, you can also gain traffic through unorthodox methods, which is to push the boundaries!"

"No need for elaborate makeup or meticulous character development; just wear less or nothing at all to attract more attention."

"Yes!"

Lin Shen's words struck a chord with Su Zhenqing.

The reason he opposed Yuki's career so much was because he felt it wasn't a respectable profession.

Ultimately, his thinking was still corrupted by these preconceived notions.

In his mind as an outsider, cosplayers are a group of people who dress provocatively and shamelessly display their bodies in front of the camera, posing provocatively.

The thought of his daughter being like this filled Su Zhenqing with a nameless anger.

Of course, this phenomenon is also inseparable from the various anime and games in the current ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) community, which all use soft and erotic themes to attract viewers.

Finally, under Yuki's strong insistence, Su Zhenqing softened.

Despite his soft heart, he still strictly limited Yuki's cosplay outfits, fearing that his daughter would be taken advantage of by that bastard.

Therefore, he deeply empathized with what Lin Shen said.

"You're absolutely right. I'm just afraid that Yuki will go astray. Sigh!"

"Don't worry, I won't let her go astray."

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

"I plan to develop Yuki from all aspects. Her personal brand should not be limited to anime. There are other aspects in which she can shine."

"Oh?"

Su Zhenqing was very curious about Lin Shen's words, and after listening to his thoughts, he was truly amazed by his plan.

Cultural exchange, the collision of traditional Chinese style and animation, and distinctive anime makeup and styling.

These design considerations made Su Zhenqing feel that entrusting his daughter to Lin Shen was a very good thing! (End of Chapter)
