Reborn since 2005

Chapter 820 Confidence
The summer vacation is over, but the weather in Guangzhou is still very hot.

At this time, Feng Xi also returned to the capital with his children.

Her career was originally in Beijing, and since Yan Shilin was about to start his middle school class, it was time for her to come over.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is not as hot in Beijing as in Guangzhou, so it is more comfortable to live there.

Yan Xin sent her back to the capital, but he only stayed there for a few days before returning to his hometown.

There are some things to deal with back home, and some meetings to attend.

I spent about a week in my hometown, three of which were spent in the city.

He invested in two companies in the city, one of which is Green Source Company, which is now developing quite well, with an annual output value of several billion yuan, creating thousands of jobs and increasing the income of many rural families.

Another company is Fengan Automobile.

The factory has not been fully built yet, but it is expected to be completed in December.

However, we have already started recruiting employees from the society.

After recruiting employees, they still need to undergo a period of training, so this must be done in advance.

This will of course cost more, but it's not a big problem.

Fengan Automobile's initial investment was 10 billion yuan. The money has not been spent yet, but there is not much left.

However, Yan Xin is not worried about the follow-up money, because the city and the province have promised to help them solve the loan problem.

If it really doesn't work, Feng'an Group can continue to increase its capital as long as the other partners have no objection.

He doesn't mind letting Feng'an Group hold a higher proportion of shares.

Anyway, Feng'an Group has made a lot of money in real estate, so there is no problem in investing in a car company - after the sample car of Feng'an Automobile came out, there were not many objections within Feng'an Group.

The local government attaches great importance to this new energy vehicle factory.

Not only the city but the province also attaches great importance to it.

After all, it is a shame that such a big province does not even have a decent automobile company.

Everyone knows the importance of the automobile industry to the economy. Now that Feng'an Group has demonstrated its strength, they certainly hope to help this company grow bigger and stronger, so as to create more jobs, generate more tax revenue, drive upstream and downstream industries, and increase local GDP.

The local support is very strong and opens the door to a lot of convenience.

Of course, Yan Xin also needs to behave more sensibly and let them know that he is a grateful person.

Before the factory was completed, the company had hired more than a dozen consultants, all of whom earned a million dollars a year.

This time when he returned to his hometown, he collected a lot of calligraphy and paintings, all of which were contemporary works, some of which he had requested sincerely.

He now has another title, vice president of the Provincial Entrepreneurs Association.

He definitely cannot be the president as he is a young man not even 30 years old and does not have the qualifications.

It's obviously not enough to just rely on being rich.

Another point is that even if he was offered this position, he would not want it.

Because there really isn't enough time to do these things.

With that much time, he would rather go out and travel.

This time when I returned home, I also returned to Lvyuan Village.

With the development of Green Source Company, Green Source Village is also developing rapidly, with great changes every year.

When he returned home this time, the changes seemed a little unfamiliar to him.

It has already caught up with the rural areas in some economically developed areas.

In some places it is even worse.

Investing tens of millions of dollars can still be very effective.

The Green Origin Village is now more prosperous than the town.

This is a new village formed by the merger of four villages, and it originally had a population of five to six thousand.

Now that the village has developed well, we have recruited some workers from outside, and some people have come here to do business. The permanent population of the village has reached about 7,000 to 8,000.

There are several farmhouses in the village.

Green Origin Company's profits are even higher this year. Dad Xiao estimates that the dividends that can be distributed to the three major shareholders may exceed 100 million.

If all this were donated as per usual practice, and half of it were used in Lvyuan Village, the village would undergo a major transformation.

Now the village has not only built hardened roads to the doorsteps of every farmer's household and provided running water to every home, but is also planning to lay sewage pipes throughout the village to connect every household and completely eliminate dry toilets.

The environmental sanitation management in the village has also become more stringent.

If you want to create a good living environment, strict management of cleanliness and hygiene is a must.

After coming back, Yan Xin was very satisfied.

He also felt the enthusiasm of everyone in the village.

There are not so many ungrateful people in this world. They know who is good to them - at least most people know.

Now in the eyes of the villagers, Yan Xin is a hero and a very remarkable person.

Because he really achieved the goal of letting the rich lead the poor, which brought about great changes in their living conditions.

The college students in the village now give priority to working in the companies under Yan Xin.

It's not just Green Source Company.

Now the companies invested by Yan Xin can provide too many jobs. They need talents in all aspects and can meet the employment needs of all college students in the village.

Yan's father is now highly respected in the village, including by Wu Xiuhong. Many people sigh that she is lucky to have remarried into a good family.

Bai Xiaoling also told them that she would take the old couple out for a trip during this year's National Day, and take them to see the beautiful scenery of China while they are still in good health.

It is expected to take one to two months.

However, Yan Xin and Feng Xi cannot accompany us on this trip - it is inconvenient to bring the children, and they have their own things to do.

Bai Xiaoling is now relatively free because her career there has stabilized.

There is no plan to further expand investment, and there are plans to transfer the brand and production lines to China within three years. The management team has already been trained, so there are indeed not many things that need her to deal with.

She has spent most of this year in the country, sometimes accompanying her sister-in-law, sometimes accompanying her brother, and other times traveling around. She lives a very free and easy life.

She doesn't have a strong career ambition now. She is not short of money anyway and has such a rich brother. There is no need for her to work so hard and she starts enjoying life early.

Sometimes, Yan Xin was quite envious of her.

This was once his dream life.

Now he can live such a life, of course, as long as he doesn't dream of becoming the richest man.

As long as he doesn't continue to start a business, he will never be able to spend all the money he earns now.

Even in a hundred lifetimes, you can’t spend it all.

However, the more wealth one has and the higher one’s status, the more different one’s pursuits become.

Now he still hopes to have more wealth and a higher status. Although sometimes he envies Bai Xiaoling's life, if he really has to change it, he still won't do it.

After leaving his hometown, he went abroad again and attended an international conference, where he also spoke.

After that, I stayed in the United States for a few days and met Gu Ru.

However, the most important thing is to go to Starlight International’s headquarters in the United States, learn about the situation there, and talk to the management team there about Starlight International’s future development strategy.

Especially the e-commerce sector.

The user scale of the international version of Starlight Short Video is constantly increasing, and its reputation is also good, although there are some criticisms that this short video app is poisonous and has poisoned the younger generation.

But to Yan Xin, such criticism is more of an honor, indicating that their product is well made and popular among young people.

Now the number of Starlight International Edition users has exceeded 60 million, and most countries have loyal users of this product.

In the eyes of many people, this is a software that is not very presentable, very vulgar, and even a little low-level.

But this does not prevent their user base from continuing to expand.

Large-scale promotion is one reason, but the more important reason is that the content here is popular among many young people.

Their big data algorithm can quickly calculate users' hobbies and then push content they like to them, which is very effective in retaining users.

In terms of content, the company has also subsidized a lot of money to high-quality content creators to make the video content of this platform richer and more diversified, attracting more users.

Of course, the greatest productivity is still Sese.

Due to policy reasons, it is more convenient to do these things here.

During the past few days in the United States, Yan Xin has become somewhat addicted to watching the international version of Starlight.

The starlight beauty function is very powerful. With the help of the beauty function, the content becomes more attractive.

Their pk gameplay is also more exciting and eye-catching.

Currently, the main sources of income for Starlight International Edition are advertising and virtual props, which are used to reward the live broadcast room.

The sales revenue of virtual props is even higher than the advertising revenue of the platform.

The unit price of advertising here is much higher than in China, although there are only tens of millions of users, which is far less than the scale of domestic platforms.

However, advertising revenue is not much lower than that of domestic platforms.

On this platform, there is also a download link for the game "Genshin" and their advertisements.

Now the monthly revenue is considerable.

But the expenses are higher.

The initial 2 billion US dollars had long been spent.

I still have a lot of loans to pay.

On the international version side, several international consortium partners have proposed further financing in an effort to dilute Starlight Group’s shares in this international version.

It can be seen that they are very optimistic about the future of this international version and want to squeeze out the Starlight Group, the largest shareholder, and preferably make it independent.

Each of them has a strong background and enough money.

There was also a consortium that offered Yan Xin an astronomical price, wanting to buy all of the shares of Starlight Culture Communication Company owned by Starlight Group from him.

The price offered was over 10 billion yuan.

And it’s in US dollars.

Of course Yan Xin did not agree.

The other party then compromised and wanted to buy the shares of Starlight International owned by Starlight Culture Communication Company.

It’s also a very respectable price.

But he was still rejected by Yan Xin.

He made it clear that he had no objection to the capital increase or the introduction of new partners. According to the shareholding ratio, Starlight Group would contribute as much money as required.

Even more.

When necessary, he is willing to act as a go-between and bring in Feng'an Group and Jinxi Investment Company.

In short, no matter how the financing is done, the shares owned by Starlight Group will not decrease, but may only increase.

Because he is no longer short of money.

He didn't have that confidence before, but after the game "Genshin Impact" achieved huge success in the market, he became confident.

Starlight Group’s profitability has now been greatly enhanced, and it can invest more money in short video platforms.

Even if the Starlight Group cannot come up with that much money, it can still add the Feng'an Group and the Jinxi Investment Company.

If that’s not enough, he and Feng Xi have another powerful weapon in their hands - the Bitcoin they hold.

The current market price of Bitcoin has been soaring, hundreds of thousands of times higher than when they first invested.

Along the way, sometimes I sold and sometimes I bought, and I have pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars.

The bitcoins they hold now are worth tens of billions of US dollars.

Moreover, Yan Xin also knew that the price of this thing would continue to rise in the future, and the increase would be very high.

When necessary, you can sell some of them.

As for whether the price of this virtual currency will go down, he doesn't care that much - at worst he can buy some more after it goes down.

The proportion of bitcoins held by the couple in the entire market is not that high, which will have some impact, but the impact is limited.

They have always controlled this degree.

The driving force behind this virtual currency will not change their strategy because of their behavior in this market. They are just taking a bite of the meat and will not overturn the plate.

He is skeptical about virtual currency. He thinks it’s okay to play with it but won’t make it his career.

Once the international version of Starlight needs money, he would rather let the virtual currency market collapse than not try his best to keep his international version of the short video platform.

It's not just about money.

It is also about the right to speak.

He had worked so hard to create such an internationally influential online platform, but he gave it away for a small amount of money. He felt that he would become a sinner of the nation.

He didn't want to do that.

This time when he came to the United States and met with those partners, he also clearly expressed his attitude.

Starlight Culture Communication Company will not give up its control over Starlight International, and its share of shares will not decrease, but may only increase.

He also emphasized that the copyright of the big data algorithm used by the international version of Starlight Short Video does not belong to the international version, but to Starlight Culture Communication Company, which then authorized it to the international version of Starlight Short Video for use.

Starlight Culture Communication Company has the right to revoke authorization at any time.

In other words, even if they take away this short video platform, they will not be able to obtain the most core algorithm.

This is also a warning.
