High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 605: Chapter 262: Meant to Comfort... Ended Up Awkward...

Jiang Banxia sensed something was off.

Li Yang, this guy... he’s stirring up trouble again.

"Are you starting to collaborate with wealthy people now?"

Jiang Banxia knew all about Li Yang; his first batch was his readers, who were stock market novices.

He basically helped them make two or three times their money in a bull market.

Then he started bringing in followers, and many of them made four or five times the returns.

The third wave was more selective, those willing to buy Extreme Shadow Cars under such circumstances were worth mentoring to Li Yang.

As for the group of copycats later, they got subscription shares, but they couldn’t hold onto them, selling them long ago; less than one in ten kept the stocks.

Many people were just busy for nothing.

"Yeah, wealthy people are easier to deal with. Even if you trick them, they’re willing to accept it. I don’t want to keep tossing things around; stability is key for the upcoming matters."

Jiang Banxia quickly asked, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

"There is."

"Come on, tell me."

Jiang Banxia felt like she finally had a task to do.

Li Yang thought for a moment and said, "I’m planning to auction off your dinner—pick a few people with the highest bids, and we’ll have dinner with them, the auction money can just be donated."

"Is that appropriate?"

Jiang Banxia knew about Buffett’s charity dinner; was Li Yang planning to make her follow this path?

If she did that, she would definitely be criticized by others.

"What’s the problem with that? Even if you don’t ask me, I was planning to drag you along soon. I’ve already picked the candidates."

"How much would they need to pay?"

"Six people, totaling one billion."

Jiang Banxia: "..."

...

Many people who got cars or paid in full upfront downloaded a dedicated app, and the majority noticed the consulting option.

Not many were looking for educational or medical resources, at least for now.

Just a handful of people wanted easy arrangements.

The most inquiries were from those wanting to learn stock trading from Jiang Banxia, or hoping to meet both of them.

Li Yang had no reason to refuse such requests.

It’s just a matter of whether they could afford it.

Li Yang never minded having multiple business partners; making money alone has its limits.

"President Zheng, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, receiving a call from President Li on New Year’s Day, feels like I’m going to make a fortune this year?"

"Haha, I have a money-making project on my side."

"Listening eagerly."

"Did President Zheng buy Extreme Shadow Shaking Light? If not, place an order now, pay in full, and there will be an app specifically for services. On the eighth day of the lunar new year, the app will auction off a charity dinner with Jiang Banxia and me, with six places in total; President Zheng should take one."

Zheng Dasheng: "..."

Zheng Dasheng felt wronged.

Because of that mess with Junsheng Capital, he got acquainted with Li Yang.

Even though he preserved the value of his stocks, he hasn’t made his money back yet.

Over these years, his holdings have been diluted several times.

Despite various forms of assistance, such as helping Green Water Group obtain foreign qualifications and stabilizing Extreme Shadow Cars’ second-hand market price, he hadn’t gained many benefits.

With anyone else, he would have fallen out long ago.

But since Li Yang is becoming increasingly impressive, and Jiang Banxia is soaring ahead.

These two are both big shots, it’s good enough to know them; not making money isn’t a huge concern.

Zheng Dasheng said, "President Li, to be honest, a few of us teamed up to eat up Wanliu Capital’s billion-yuan stocks; frankly, we don’t have much cash left. If the cost isn’t too high, I could personally help, but if it’s costly..."

"It’s not high; the starting price is just one billion."

"..."

Zheng Dasheng chuckled bitterly, "President Li, don’t always catch me alone; my humble establishment truly can’t afford such amounts."

"Oh come on, President Zheng, didn’t you make a small profit of two or three million when collecting cars?"

"Brother, my company operations cost more than that, if it’s a matter of a few million, I’d bite the bullet and provide it, but billions, I absolutely can’t afford."

"This time there’s good news; if it weren’t, why would I call you on New Year’s Day? Can’t discuss specifics over the phone; just focus on bidding, I guarantee you won’t lose out."

"This... I’ll discuss it with those few friends; I supported the car purchase first thing."

"You’re still the best, Brother, thank you, thank you."

After hanging up, Li Yang walked out with a smile.

Today’s work is quite a lot—lots of relatives.

Tomorrow’s workload is even heavier; Jiang Banxia has even more relatives on her side.

He called Zheng Dasheng considering Green Water Group’s difficulty in short-term cash conversion, offering him a bit of wealth code.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter who profits; if one’s own people make money, maybe they could lend it for use later.

Though there probably won’t be such an opportunity.

Green Water Group’s lack of growth in market value is due to substantial spending, having opened two Green Water Heaven and Earth malls already; the second just opened over a month ago, the first quickly captured the county’s main customers as Xingcheng Supermarket exited.

As more people began shopping at the supermarket, they quickly noticed significant differences between Green Water Heaven and Earth and other malls.

Consumers aren’t foolish; previously they had no choice.

Even if choices are limited now, there’s clearly better consumer protection, without reasons not to choose.

Li Yang didn’t want to compete with small vendors, otherwise Green Water Heaven and Earth could disrupt entire county businesses.

Along with the opening of Green Water Heaven and Earth’s sixth-floor dining department, at least 40% of the county’s restaurants are facing closure.
