My capital is quite large.

Just as Yang Mi was sitting on the sofa with a look of disdain, complaining about someone's complete lack of self-awareness.

The phone on the coffee table vibrated again, and the caller ID showed it was Lin Lu, CEO of Jiaxing and a Stanford graduate.

Yang Mi pressed the speakerphone button, placed the phone on the table, and asked expectantly:

"Lin Lu, has there been any progress with the film and television investment opportunities I asked you to find in Tokyo?"

Lin Lu, on the other end of the phone, calmly reported to her supervisor:

"Sister Honey, after our investment banking team's comprehensive due diligence on Xiao Rizi's pan-entertainment market today..."

"My conclusion is that the film and television and artist management industries in Xiao Rizi are currently stagnant, and I do not recommend investing in them."

"A stagnant pool?" Yang Mi frowned, somewhat unconvinced, and retorted:

"How could that be? Haven't Nichijou's anime and TV dramas always been quite influential in East Asia?"

"Influence is not the same as return on investment."

Lin Lu shattered Yang Mi's illusions with data:

"Sister Mi, you may not understand how rigid the hierarchy in Japan's entertainment industry has become, since you've lived in China for so long."

"There are only a few top-tier actors, and TV stations and large agencies have a complete monopoly on the industry chain."

"Even if we put all 500 million yuan into it, we will not only fail to gain any say in the affairs of any leading institution, but also, in their low-growth viewership ecosystem, the annual return on investment will not even be as good as that of bank wealth management products."

After listening to Lin Lu's professional report, Yang Mi was finally convinced.

She rubbed her temples in frustration.

"So, according to you... where should Jiaxing invest its 500 million yuan in liquid funds?"

Lin Lu was clearly prepared, and she meticulously analyzed the global situation for Yang Mi:

"Sister Honey, currently in the global capital market, the sectors with relatively high expected growth rates are mainly concentrated in Southeast Asia, but the risks there are too great, and I don't recommend blindly entering the market."

"While infrastructure development in some developing African countries has potential, the return on investment cycle is too long, taking at least ten years to see profits."

"Overall, the only place in the world that simultaneously achieves both high growth rates and safety is still our University of Tokyo!"

"Among the existing hot sectors in China, my personal recommendation is—new energy!"

"New energy?" Yang Mi was taken aback, somewhat confused. "Solar panels? Or wind power?"

"No, it's electricity."

"To be precise, it's new energy electric vehicles!"

Lin Lu's voice carried a hint of excitement:

"Since Tesla announced the full open-sourcing of its underlying patent technology a few years ago, domestic new car manufacturers have experienced an explosive growth."

"According to our team's investigation, the three leading domestic new energy vehicle manufacturers, Future, XPeng and Li Auto, are currently conducting multiple rounds of pre-IPO financing and preparing for listing on the US or Hong Kong stock exchanges."

"Investing in this crucial pre-IPO round will yield an astonishing return on capital in the future!"

Upon hearing that it could make a lot of money, a glint of shrewdness appeared in Yang Mi's foxy eyes, and she quickly asked:

Which of these three companies offers the best value for money?

Lin Lu meticulously analyzed the equity calculation table on the computer:

"Of these three companies, Future has the biggest name, but its post-investment valuation has already soared to a high of 200 billion RMB."

"Even if you pour in 500 million, you can only get 2.5% of the shares, which gives you very limited say."

"Although XPeng's current valuation is only 35 billion, their financing structure in this round adopts a mixed equity and debt model."

"In this round of financing, only 7 million yuan was pure equity investment."

"Even if you invest 5 million, only about 1.59 million can be converted into equity based on a valuation of 35 billion."

"In the end, we only received about 4.54% of the actual shares. The rest of the funds could only be considered as low-interest debt, which was extremely unprofitable."

Lin Lu fixed her gaze on the last report and said softly:

"And the remaining one, Ideal, has the most reasonable post-investment valuation."

"If we inject our 5 million yuan into the company through pure equity investment, based on the current valuation, we will acquire 16.67% of their shares in one fell swoop!"

"Sixteen point sixteen percent?!"

Yang Mi quickly fiddled with the abacus beads in her mind.

This not only means that Jiaxing will become one of the largest institutional shareholders of Li Auto, but also that it will have significant say and voting power in the future board of directors!

But even the shrewd Yang Mi retained her instinctive caution and pressed for more information:

"What about the risks? What are the prospects for a successful IPO?

Lin Lu said confidently:

"Don't worry, Sister Honey, I have reviewed Li Auto's financial records and supply chain transactions for the past two years item by item."

"If they haven't engaged in malicious financial fraud, I'm certain they'll be listing on the US stock market within three years at most!"

Upon hearing this, a resolute look appeared on Yang Mi's beautiful face.

"Alright! Let's go for Idealism then!"

"But if we're going to do it, let's go big!"

"Lin Lu, when you meet with the founder of Ideal, please pass on a message for me..."

"When they go for their next round of financing at the end of the year, we at Jiaxing will consider investing an additional 5 million yuan!"

With the trump card of having the right to receive dividends from Haofeng Group's parent company, Yang Mi is full of confidence when it comes to spending money in the capital market!

......

Meanwhile, in Jinling, on the top floor of Haofeng Group's headquarters.

Zhang Yuxi reported to the leader in a low voice:

"Mr. Li, Ms. Ni has already turned down all external engagements and is now studying the script behind closed doors."

Upon hearing this news, Li Feng gave a noncommittal "hmm".

Actually, the role of the Empress Dowager doesn't have to be played by Ni Ni.

But Li Feng was ultimately nostalgic.

For women like Ni Ni who were among the first to follow him, as long as his bottom line isn't crossed, he'll eventually find a reason to return the wealth and dignity that belong to her after his anger subsides.

"Has there been any movement in Seoul?" Li Feng brought his thoughts back to the bigger picture.

Zhang Yuxi hurriedly reported to her supervisor:

"Director Zhao just sent back a message that the Samsung heiress claims to be inspecting the duty-free shop project in America and has specially postponed her meeting with our agent to the evening of the day after tomorrow."

"The night after tomorrow? Ha, how cautious." Li Feng smiled with a hint of amusement.

"Inform our agent in Seoul to ask the princess during the meeting..."

"Don't you want her good brother to spend the rest of his life in jail?!"
