Chapter 436: Chapter 437: Chen Baiyi Achieves Success! freёnovelkiss.com

Seeing Jiang Xiaoyun again, Chen Yan was in a good mood.

After all, the girl had left a deep impression on him last time.

A girl with some physical deficiencies, yet sunny, confident, diligent, and "grateful," any kind-hearted person would surely take a liking to her.

So, before leaving, Chen Yan also rented his Tiandu house to her at a cheap price.

Having experience from picking her up last time, the three of them didn’t chat much this time. Chen Yan and Song Chuang just exchanged a few laughs, Jiang Xiaoyun also wrote down her words of welcome and showed them to Chen Yan, then they all went to the parking lot.

They got into the car, started it, and Chen Yan and Song Chuang chatted.

"Did you investigate those venture capital firms for me?" Chen Yan asked.

Song Chuang adjusted his gold-framed glasses on his nose bridge and said, "Everything has been investigated. The information is at your place."

"You can look at it after you go back."

"Also, I contacted them as you, saying you wanted to visit their company."

"Because you now have many industries, and a high return on investment with little risk, they’re all very interested."

Hearing Song Chuang’s words, Chen Yan asked doubtfully, "Did you tell them that I want to invest?"

Song Chuang smiled and winked at Chen Yan, "I didn’t say that. They guessed it themselves."

Chen Yan looked at him.

Their eyes met, and then they couldn’t help but laugh.

After laughing, Chen Yan said, "Let’s just leave it at that misunderstanding."

"Anyway, considering the scale of my companies, it’s perfectly normal for me to want to finance and go public."

"Just use this excuse to visit and understand them. That achieves the purpose."

Song Chuang nodded in agreement.

However, after nodding, Song Chuang expressed his doubts, "Then... President Chen. What are your real thoughts?"

"Why suddenly visit those companies?"

Chen Yan said lightly, "What if I say I’m coveting the Headline Technology shares they hold, would you believe me?"

Hearing this, Song Chuang’s mouth dropped open, "Their Headline Technology shares?"

After saying that, he shook his head and said, "That’s impossible."

"Now, everyone knows that Headline Technology will be at least a hundred-billion-level company."

"A 10-fold profit rate. Who would let go?"

"They’re not small companies. The venture capital industry should be considered one of the most cash-rich."

"So, why would they be willing to let go of the shares in their hands?"

Chen Yan flashed a mysterious smile on his face and pointed to his head, "You know nothing of real intelligence."

Looking at Chen Yan’s certain manner, it was Song Chuang’s turn to be doubtful.

If it were someone else, Song Chuang might just think they were bluffing. But this is Chen Yan.

The Chen Yan who had created a series of miracles!

Song Chuang used to think that he was the favored child of the era, ready to make a few billion and then set out on his own.

But Chen Yan proved with a series of events what a real prodigy was like and gradually dispelled Song Chuang’s thoughts of setting out on his own.

So... could it be that Chen Yan was about to create another miracle?

Although harboring this thought, it was, after all, just emotional approval.

Song Chuang analyzed the overall situation rationally and thought... it was simply impossible.

If he owned a stock and knew it was highly likely to go up 10 times, would he sell?

Song Chuang felt that even if it killed him, he wouldn’t sell.

Therefore, he really couldn’t understand where Chen Yan’s confidence came from.

Of course, he kept these thoughts to himself and didn’t voice them out.

Soon, they arrived at Chen Yan’s Tiandu home.

After parking the car, the three of them went to sit in Chen Yan’s house for a while.

It had to be said, as the door opened, Chen Yan’s eyes brightened.

The corridor and the living room were cleaned spotlessly.

The floor even seemed reflective.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yan even wondered if Jiang Xiaoyun was a bit obsessive about cleanliness.

After entering the house, Chen Yan found that the interior had greatly changed, many pieces of furniture had been rearranged, and new items had been added throughout the house, with some fresh decorations on the walls.

The whole house now looked more like a home.

Girls certainly pay attention to detail.

Just by looking at the living room and corridor, Chen Yan felt it was worth it to let Jiang Xiaoyun stay there.

Especially since Jiang Xiaoyun might have thought that Chen Yan would often stay there, so the entire decor wasn’t overly feminine.

It was instead a blend of fashion, technology, and a neutral style.

This pleased Chen Yan.

All in all, Chen Yan was very satisfied with this tenant.

After sitting on the sofa for a while, Song Chuang took the initiative to take his leave.

Chen Yan went with Jiang Xiaoyun to send him off.

After he stepped out of the door, Song Chuang stopped and hesitated; he first looked at Jiang Xiaoyun, then at Chen Yan and asked, "President Chen. If you stay here these few days, won’t it disturb Xiao Yun? Or might it give a bad impression?"

"Do we need the company to pay for her to stay in a nearby hotel for a few days?"

Hearing Song Chuang’s words, both Chen Yan and Jiang Xiaoyun were stunned.

Jiang Xiaoyun hadn’t yet reacted, but Chen Yan immediately understood.

He scolded Song Chuang with a laugh, "Lao Song. Are you asking if it’s convenient for me, or for Xiaoyun?"

"Anyway... what you said is right."

"I was only thinking about the agreement I had made with Xiaoyun before. I forgot to ask for her opinion."

Saying this, Chen Yan looked at Jiang Xiaoyun and directly clarified his words a bit, "Xiao Yun. Song is afraid that our living together might be bad for you, or cause some misunderstandings."

"Do you want to consider staying at a hotel for these few days?"

"Don’t worry about the cost. The company will reimburse it."

Hearing their words, Jiang Xiaoyun finally understood Song Chuang’s kindness and also understood the pressure Song Chuang was facing making such a suggestion.

After all, an employee was actively living with her boss while her subordinate was undermining this, which could easily lead to retaliation.

She looked gratefully at Song Chuang and then shook her head.

She took out a pen and wrote, "Thank you, President Chen, President Song. I’m okay."

"Many people in Tiandu rent together. There are quite a few mixed-gender shares too."

"When President Chen rented the house to me, he mentioned it was a shared rental. I only considered his room unoccupied during this time."

"So, it’s okay."

Seeing this, Song Chuang smiled and said, "Alright then. Since you’re fine with it, please take good care of President Chen."

With that, Song Chuang said his farewells to Chen Yan again and then left his house.

After watching him go, Chen Yan patted Jiang Xiaoyun’s shoulder and said, "Lao Song is a good guy."

Jiang Xiaoyun nodded vigorously.

They closed the door, and the short shared living began.

Their co-living was not as romantic as imagined because Chen Yan stayed in the master bedroom, which had an en suite bathroom. So the outside bathroom was by default for Jiang Xiaoyun’s use.

Their bathrooms and rooms were separate; apart from eating meals together in the living room, they didn’t spend much time together.

So there were none of those embarrassing moments, like bumping into each other showering or seeing underwear.

And perhaps it was this harmonious relationship that brought them closer together.

Chen Yan also learned about Jiang Xiaoyun’s situation.

Jiang Xiaoyun was from Jinmen, but from a village far outside Jinmen.

Her parents went out to work and left her with her grandmother in her hometown after she was born.

Although later it was found that she had some deficiencies, her grandmother had some standing in the village, so no one discriminated or bullied her.

This allowed her to grow up sunny and cheerful, with good academic performance, and she thrived into adulthood.

After graduating, she moved to Tiandu to chase her dream of city life because of her ambitions for metropolitan living.

Listening to Jiang Xiaoyun happily recount her family situation, Chen Yan thought that maybe this was normal after all.

After all, with Jiang Xiaoyun’s bubbly and cheerful nature, it would be strange if she didn’t have a happy childhood.

As she finished, Jiang Xiaoyun mentioned that she felt her first half of life was pretty enjoyable.

Apart from hitting a few walls when leaving the ivory tower and looking for a job, everything else went smoothly.

Her only little regret was that she couldn’t perform crosstalk due to her congenital defects.

She felt that if she could speak, she would surely be very articulate, perhaps even better than Guo Gang.

As she discussed this, Chen Yan couldn’t help but laugh.

Especially seeing her confident eyes, Chen Yan found it even more amusing.

It was like someone born with leg disabilities claiming they’d run faster than Su Bingtian if they could walk.

However, since this was about the other person’s defect, Chen Yan could only try hard not to laugh... out loud.

But Jiang Xiaoyun clearly saw he was holding back laughter, so she argued with him, puffing up.

She said not to look down on her.

She claimed that although not every person from Modu is aggressive, not everyone from Dongguang eats anything and everything, and not every person from Fujian can’t differentiate ’h’ and ’f’ when speaking,

But! Every person from Jinmen could perform crosstalk!

Even she as a mute could do it!

Watching Jiang Xiaoyun proudly proclaim this, Chen Yan burst out laughing...

...

In the following days, accompanied by Jiang Xiaoyun, Chen Yan met with each venture capital firm that held shares in Headline Technology.

The representatives who came to meet with Chen Yan were all ace investors from the various VC firms, and they were given high status.

Obviously, although Chen Yan’s assets had grown more substantial, his fame in various industries had also begun to spread.

However, since it was all just a pretext, Chen Yan just went through the motions, discussed their plans for the companies, and then took his leave.

Well... he incidentally also free-rided a few good development ideas from those companies.

So, he felt even more profitable.

After meeting with several companies and achieving his goal, Chen Yan was ready to return to Qin Island.

On the day of his departure, it was Song Chuang and Jiang Xiaoyun who sent Chen Yan off.

Jiang Xiaoyun drove with a lively expression: it seemed she was a natural optimist, nothing could bring her down.

While Song Chuang chatted with Chen Yan in the back seat.

"President Chen, wasn’t the outcome ideal?" Song Chuang took the initiative to ask.

Chen Yan shook his head with a smile, "It’s alright. I’ve preliminarily reached my goal."

Hearing Chen Yan say this, Song Chuang was completely puzzled.

For the past few days, he had occasionally followed along to listen in.

But... he felt like Chen Yan hadn’t done anything at all!

Wasn’t it just meeting with the other side’s gold-medal investors, having meals, chatting, and drinking tea?

Song Chuang had been listening in the whole time but... felt like both parties hadn’t discussed anything valuable at all!

For a moment, Song Chuang even began to doubt himself: Could it be... that I’m not on a high enough level to detect the hidden meanings in President Chen and the other party’s conversation?

Had the gap between his own level and President Chen’s grown so wide?

Song Chuang couldn’t help but doubt himself.

And seeing Song Chuang’s puzzled expression, Chen Yan’s mischievous interest was piqued.

He patted Song Chuang on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Lao Song, you still need to work hard."

Song Chuang: ...

Watching Chen Yan’s departing figure as he boarded the plane, Song Chuang’s mind was filled with Chen Yan’s recent actions.

’Could it be that I really missed some details?’

’What exactly did President Chen exchange or discover with the other party right under my nose?’

’Why is he so confident?’

On the way back, Song Chuang thought it over the entire trip but couldn’t figure it out.

He couldn’t help but hesitate: Could it be that the gap between me and a trendsetter of the times like President Chen is so vast?

Of course, after his hesitation, he also pondered: Could President Chen have been teasing me on purpose?

Could it be that he actually didn’t do anything and realized he couldn’t acquire the shares of Headline Technology and thus decided to back off?

Once this thought occurred to him, Song Chuang finally found a train of thought that allowed him to relax.

He felt that he would just wait for a while.

If President Chen ended up not acquiring it, then it would mean President Chen was just bluffing.

If the acquisition was successful, then... Song Chuang felt that he really needed to learn earnestly from Chen Yan....

...

Back on Qin Island, Chen Yan contacted He Mengxue to inquire about recent developments.

Everything was normal with several companies. Yang Rou had already returned from Hong Kong to Qin Island and continued to immerse herself in her busy work.

The only issue was... Yu Qiao Qiao had come to the company looking for Chen Yan.

But since Chen Yan wasn’t there, she left again.

Hearing what He Mengxue said, Chen Yan thought it over.

Yu Qiao Qiao had called him these past few days, and everything seemed normal. There probably wasn’t a problem...

With that in mind, Chen Yan didn’t take it to heart.

Having been on a business trip for four or five days, Chen Yan was also a bit tired, so he went home to rest.

The next day, after waking up from bed, Chen Yan washed up, made breakfast,

and then came to the dining table. While eating breakfast, he took out his phone, ready to start planning officially!

He first checked his current game information:

[Yu Qiao Qiao’s Favorability: MAX](Professional Line progressing...)

[Lu Man’s Favorability: MAX](Fourth ring opened, not completed)

[Zhao Ying’s Favorability: 134](The disciple has been very diligent lately etc. positive emotions +23)

[Wealth Value: 243,000](Daily expenses of several virtual girlfriends +243,000)

[Professional Wealth: 500 million](Sunrise Plan second funding +300 million, Sunrise Plan third investment +200 million)

[Fixed Asset Wealth Value: 0]

[Cash: 1.6547 billion+](Further receipt from Mudman Intermediate Elimination Competition +330 million, Four expenditures of professional wealth -1.16 billion, 561.7 million cash withdrawal arrived, 1.32 billion cash withdrawal arrived (Charity + Sunrise Plan first funding), Purchase of Headline Technology shares -1 billion, Daily expenses and company operations -0.28 billion,)

[Fixed Assets: 1.145 billion+]

[Valuable Shares: 1.76 billion (valuation)](Headline Technology shares, personal holdings worth 1 billion, company shares worth 600 million (He Mengxue + Zhao Ying hold 400 million), Quick Ride shares through the company worth 160 million)

[Total Assets: 6.4045 billion](2.0048 billion in process of being cashed)

Note: Companies that have not entered the capital market for financing are not included in the valuation.

...

After reviewing the funds he had on hand, Chen Yan realized that he had developed to a point he once couldn’t believe.

Calculating cash, fixed assets, and valuable shares, his net worth had reached sixty billion!

Chen Yan couldn’t help but think back to the valuations several venture capital firms had given to his gaming and film companies a few days ago.

So, he truly had a net worth of over a hundred billion!

Moreover, all of this was in high-quality assets. The proportion of cash was particularly enviable.

This was Chen Yan’s confidence.

After all, cash flow is the lifeline of a business. As long as one has sufficient cash flow, one need not fear any enemy!

With this thought, Chen Yan clicked the [Withdraw] button, cashing out all his professional and ordinary wealth!

Thanks to the double buff from clearing the game with Yu Qiao Qiao, Chen Yan’s wealth value withdrawal had grown to 20 times, and professional wealth also increased to 4 times.

As a result, plans to earn more than twenty billion appeared before Chen Yan!

Chen Yan picked them up for a look and found that the plans were not complicated, pretty much the same as the last time.

It involved leveraging Hong Kong’s unique financial environment, playing high stakes with leverage in the financial system.

However, possibly because of the large amount of funds this time,

the system even added a note of caution at the end of the whole plan.

[Note: Due to the large amount of funds and the potential for excessive profits in a short time, this scheme may attract media attention. Please prepare for handling media inquiries.]

[Additionally, this operation is fully compliant and does not involve any violations. Therefore, it will not trigger an investigation by regulatory agencies.]

Seeing this note.

Chen Yan was taken aback.

Was this telling him... that he was about to become famous? Suggesting that he get a haircut, put on makeup? Spit. Prepare a response?

Chen Yan felt that as his money kept increasing, the system seemed to be getting smarter as well.

Although it still couldn’t compare to other systems that could create money from thin air or manipulate bank numbers digitally, Chen Yan was very satisfied.

So, following his plan, Chen Yan started to operate according to the system’s tips with the money he had initially left in Hong Kong.

The international futures market is always volatile, where a slight change can trigger intense fluctuations.

It’s a meat grinder, a life-or-death battle, and a gamble that could make one rich overnight.

And this time, Chen Yan was placing multiplied leveraged bets on gold futures.

During this period, due to the stability of the international situation, the price of gold futures had been slowly declining, almost falling to the lowest point in two years.

After all, in times of peace and prosperity, gold’s potential for appreciation is far less than that of other assets and cash.

After completing his leveraged purchase of the necessary volume, Chen Yan also messaged "Yang Rou" on QQ, telling her that it was time to buy.

And Yang Nuannuan, upon receiving Chen Yan’s message, began to buy while also starting to research gold.

However, no matter how much she studied, she couldn’t understand why Chen Yan was telling her to gamble heavily on gold again.

Could there be some insider information?

Meanwhile, in Hong Kong.

Several financial institutions also noticed Chen Yan’s moves.
