High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 568 - 249: Photos Used to Trick Xiangnu (Part 2)

Li Yang was about to say something but held back; otherwise, he’d admit to having two and a half kids by now.

Once everyone was seated, Liu Ruyi brought the last dish over, making the table feel like a sisters’ gathering.

On Jiang Banxia’s side, the negotiations were essentially wrapped up. The funds would be loaned by Po County’s Xin Cheng Capital for a one-year term.

Although there’s no interest, on some level, they all need to shoulder risks.

If the stock price doesn’t stabilize after a year, resulting in a loss on their books, where could they find the money to repay?

Even a ten-point loss would be astronomical to them.

But... no one refused.

What they need to do is first absorb the remaining shares from Wanliu Capital and ensure that post-listing, the stock price doesn’t fall below three dollars, the issuance price.

After the meal, Li Yang started loading gifts into the car. Once Jiang Banxia exchanged a few more words with them, she drove off.

He wasn’t fit to say much; this meal was purely business.

Everyone paid the price.

Li Yang bore the cost of three hundred billion in funds for a year without earning any revenue, while they faced a significant potential loss.

For Li Yang, not making money for a year is tantamount to a huge loss.

Even he found it hard to manage.

...

In late May, all publicly issued stock by Wanliu Capital was locked in, meaning the listing on June 3rd would arrive as scheduled.

This time, although much of the capital was personally raised by Li Yang, it still significantly drained funds from the A-shares.

However, it’s not considered a loss, since the money merely ended up in Wanliu Capital’s pockets.

"How should we spend this money?"

After returning, Jiang Banxia glanced over the company’s situation, noticing a surplus of funds.

"Invest in raw materials."

"Eh?"

"Eh what?"

"It seems a bit unlike your investment style. Since you’ve identified a promising direction, you could invest directly in the stock market."

Profit from raw materials requires opportunity, and typically, when raw materials prices rise, the stock market reflects this too.

Li Yang said, "It’s pointless to compete with them for stock market gains. I’m optimistic about electric vehicles and even more so about the lithium battery industry. While this money isn’t a small amount, it’s not substantial either; let’s go abroad to bid on a couple of lithium mines."

Li Yang could invest in Ningde or seek funding from medical companies.

But Wanliu Capital is primarily a financial entity, making future operations less convenient if they raise funds now.

They can’t hold onto it forever.

It’s better to invest from a manufacturing perspective and secure raw materials.

When the market is right in the stock market, earnings will naturally follow, potentially exceeding what they’d make with current investments.

In the coming years, commodities are expected to rise widely, and lithium carbonate prices could increase up to tenfold.

Seek foreign lithium mines and sell them back when prices are higher.

Domestic lithium mining resources are abundant; it’s just that the market doesn’t demand it, and production hasn’t expanded.

The high prices haven’t lasted even a year; there’s no need to exploit domestic companies.

"Moreover, this money needs to be allocated for Green Water Group’s private placement and participate in Extreme Shadow Cars’ new round of financing, soon leaving very little remaining."

Li Yang had already meticulously planned out this money.

Jiang Banxia asked, "How much money do you still have left?"

"None, I’m broke, and soon I’ll start spending yours. In time, don’t feel bad about it."

Li Yang wasn’t lying; that money belonged to Bai Qing and had nothing to do with him.

Right now, he was broke.

Seeing Jiang Banxia’s disbelief, he quickly added, "Shall I swear?"

"Okay, I believe you."

Jiang Banxia was rather happy; she was needed.

She truly feared Li Yang would have endless money; then, what would be the point of Wanliu Capital’s existence, she wouldn’t know.

Even without Wanliu Capital, she could live quite contently.

"That’s right, let’s quickly unwrap the gifts. If anyone sent something cheap, I won’t accept!"

"How do you define cheap?"

"Anything less than ten thousand bucks is cheap; after all, I can get a ten thousand buck red envelope from them even on Arbor Day. Pregnancy should surely outrank Arbor Day, right?"

"Alright, anyone who sends a cheap gift, we’ll cut ties with them!"

"Agreed!"

Soon, the couple started unwrapping gifts, checking prices online as they went.

Jiang Banxia suddenly found this quite enjoyable.

She wasn’t worried about Wanliu Capital’s stock price failing to rise; Li Yang personally intervened, so how could it not be successful?

Besides, that fifty million US dollar amount was mostly Wanliu Capital’s own funds, and the earnings would count as company profit.

Others might be anxious or skeptical; she had absolute confidence.

...

Inside the rich ladies’ chat group.

Xiangnu commented, "Li Yang, why don’t you bring Jiang Banxia into the group?"

Li Yang didn’t see it at the time; when he did, he noticed it had been three hours since Xiangnu posted that message.

Furthermore... during those three hours, no one spoke inside the rich ladies’ chat group.

The group typically buzzed with activity and idle chatter.

He quickly replied: "This is my private domain, okay? I can’t just let anyone in, even if she’s my wife."

After he said that, it unleashed a flood of conversation; Xiumu immediately jumped in, saying: "Oh, are you treating us as your harem then? What’s my ranking?"

"You’re eighth, Xiumu seventh."

"Then what about me?"

"Oh, Shuhui is ninth!"

...

The group buzzed with activity, messages refreshed one after another.

Without realizing it, Xiangnu slipped in another question, "Then what’s my ranking?"
