He won 900 million in the lottery.

I plan to use a common three-tier equity structure to establish a new company, with the aim of effectively separating personal assets from project risks.

What is a three-tier equity structure?

Individual shareholders → [First layer: Holding entity Company B] → [Second layer: Business/investment entity Company A] → [Third layer: N new project companies].

The three tiers, A, B, and N, are each independent legal entities, primarily to achieve layered isolation of debt and operational risks.

The controlling entity is my newly established Company B – Huahong Enterprise.

The company I am currently operating is Company A – Huahong Investment.

Company N is responsible for the future mobile phone project, the currently operating seawater fishing supply, the soon-to-be-established construction company, and subsequent new projects.

I personally hold absolute control of the NG company registered in the Cayman Islands.

HY Investment is controlled by NG Enterprises.

The newly established project company is controlled by HY Investment.

Qiuya: "Boss, the equity structure is basically complete. Now, shall we set up a new company?"

Me: "You can start today. I recommend a WeChat account to you, Sun Xiaowei. You can consult her about investment, legal, tax and other issues. Also, you should study for promotion yourself."

Qiuya: "Okay, boss."

Me: "Also, please inform all shareholders that there will be a meeting this morning."

At the same time, I called Liu Dabing, Sun Ce of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Zhang Jiehui of the District Cultural Brigade, Zhou Youji of the Municipal Bureau of Culture, and Wang Weiping of the Municipal Bureau of Culture. We met at the company in the afternoon.

Meeting.

Me: "That's the situation. I hope you can consider it yourselves and let's not lose face."

I'm not a good person, nor am I entirely bad, but when I try my best to climb to the top, it's only natural to become bad.

Haitao finished the rest of his cigarettes in one go, and finally made his decision: "I'm quitting. I don't lack money, and I don't have that much ambition."

Zhang Luode and Zhao Chu both withdrew. It's fine for them to play around with me, but going all out in real combat is too risky. Besides, I personally strongly advised them to withdraw because they were uncontrollable factors.

The amount of money involved for the two of them was substantial.

Regarding relationships, since they are all friends, I initially invested because of personal connections. When making decisions, I also need to consider personal connections, which is not conducive to the company's development and operation.

Li Tie also withdrew, which was expected. He needed money to run his business, and I agree with him.

The meeting ended in a surprising turn of events.

Zhao Zifeng actually approached me privately, wanting to invest, not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but 300 million.

My immediate reaction was, "You won the lottery?"

Zhao Zifeng: "Don't forget, we've been friends for over ten years. You've explained the risks so clearly, of course I'm going to invest. I'm investing in you as a person."

I didn't ask any more questions. Where did this 300 million come from? Asking any further would make me seem ignorant.

in the afternoon.

Zhang Jiehui and his three companions arrived before Liu Dabing.

Me: "While everyone's not all here, we can still talk about other things. Is your bar still operating?"

Sun Ce: "I'm not planning on doing this anymore. People are all broke right now, so they're not easy to fool."

Me: "If I continue to invest in you, will it be possible to continue?"

Zhang Jiehui's eyes lit up: "It's doable! How?"

Me: "We'll stick to your ideas, but the scale needs to be bigger, otherwise it won't do justice to your team."

Sun Ce: "What do you mean, Mr. Shen?"

Me: "I'll pay for the rest of the bar's construction; you guys are responsible for attracting customers."

Sun Ce's expression turned grim: "Isn't this a trap? Playing like this will ruin all our relationships in an instant, and we won't be able to survive in the system at all."

Me: "You guys aren't doing so well these days. You've been following me, and I've made you big and strong, but it's all within the system. Others are doing all the construction work, and you don't even get a sip of the soup. You want to make a little money in the entertainment industry, but you have to do it secretly. Are you satisfied with this kind of life?"

A wise person makes a choice: reward on one hand and punish on the other.

Sun Ce: "What if something goes wrong?"

He was from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and his first thought was to clean up the mess.

Me: "Don't worry, I have connections."

Upon hearing this, Sun Bin and the other three were relieved and unanimously expressed their willingness.

Just then, Liu Dabing arrived.

As we entered, I introduced them: "Dabin, this is Section Chief Sun from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Captains Zhang, Zhou, and Wang from the Bureau of Culture."

Liu Dabing's eyes nearly popped out; this was incredibly refreshing.

Me: "I have another purpose today. The company is preparing to establish a new project company in conjunction with an aerospace construction company for municipal vehicle-to-water and heating conversion projects. I'm just wondering if anyone is interested."

After I finished speaking, Qiuya took out the information on the Aerospace Construction Company and the municipal gas-to-water heating conversion project and showed it to the five people. Liu Dabing had previously contacted the Aerospace Construction Company and had a loan transaction of 100,000 yuan, so he focused on the municipal gas-to-water heating conversion project.

Sun Ce and his three companions seemed to know about the aerospace construction company.

Sun Ce: "Does General Manager Shen know Chen Hangtian?"

Me: "We've dealt with each other before, so you know them too?"

Sun Ce replied awkwardly, "I don't know him, and we've never had the chance to meet."

That's true. He's from the Discipline Inspection Commission, and Chen Hangtian isn't part of the system, so there aren't many opportunities to meet. However, Chen Hangtian is quite famous in Liancheng; anyone with a bit of influence knows him.

Seeing that the four of them were only looking at the documents without saying a word, I said, "You can take the documents back and think it over before coming back to me. Opportunities like this don't come around often."

The four nodded, took a couple more sips of tea, and then left.

Me: "Dabin, are you interested?"

Liu Dabing: "How much will all of this cost?"

Me: "The whole project will cost around 70 to 80 million, with over 20 million in upfront funding. We're just small fry; the big fish, Aerospace Construction Company, will definitely take the lion's share."

Liu Dabing: "Wow, so much money."

Me: "I'm just taking a ride; otherwise, I wouldn't have a part in this project."

Liu Dabing: "Is the risk high?"

Me: "The biggest risk is that the government won't pay. Of course, it's possible that Chen Hangtian is trying to scam me and drag me down with him. Whether we play or not, it won't hurt our feelings."

Liu Dabing: "Tianyi, you're saying you know a high-ranking leader too?"

Me: "Yeah, otherwise why would those four come to me? You should go back and think it over."

Liu Dabing: "Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with my wife."

After everyone left.

Qiuya: "Boss, we don't have enough funds to start both the bar project and the municipal company at the same time."

I pinched Qiuya's cheek: "Don't we have a new company called NG? It has money."

Qiuya: "Boss, you said you'd come to my house for dinner after you came back from Beijing."

I deliberately put on a stern face: "Don't discuss personal matters at the company. We can talk about it when we get home tonight!"

Qiuya was initially depressed, but she cheered up after hearing the second half of the sentence.

This damn office romance!

Life is a long journey, and people around you will gradually leave. Either you are excellent enough to improve yourself, or you are so worthless that they will all stay away from you.
