I stole someone else's ticket to rebirth

Chapter 341 The Rebellion of Life

After Li Yang came to Xiangnu, he saw that Xiangnu had prepared a fruit plate and tea in the living room, which was quite exquisite.

Generally speaking, Xiangnu is the CEO of a large group after all. He has a lot of things to do every day, so it is impossible for him to have the energy to do these things.

For example, Jiang Banxia never cooks and has never thought about cooking.

She only eats the fruits at home if they are prepared by others. If others don’t prepare them, she won’t eat them.

The same goes for Li Yang. He used to be forced to cook, but now he doesn't even want to touch it.

After being busy every day, I just want to lie down.

"It's not easy. Mr. Zhao has already started learning how to arrange dishes."

After sitting down, Li Yang felt very strange.

Xiang Nu said, "Dishes are just the basics. You will know when you try the food I cook!"

"Okay, okay..."

Li Yang sat down on the sofa, too lazy to move.

He didn't even bother to go to the kitchen, as he didn't want to smell the fumes.

Anyway, the fruit can be used as a filler. If the food doesn’t taste good, I’ll go to Zheng Dasheng’s restaurant first.

About half an hour later, Xiangnu came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a plate of food.

Li Yang was shocked.

Although I don’t know how this dish tastes, it at least looks like a real dish.

And it looks particularly tempting.

Anyway, he can't make such dishes. What he cooks is just edible. Except for the people around him who like it, if he put it out on a street stall, no one would buy it at three yuan a portion.

"You really know how to cook?"

"What else? Try it first? There are still a few dishes in the back."

"Okay okay."

"Wait a minute, I'll get you the dishes and chopsticks."

After a while, Xiangnu brought the bowl and chopsticks to Li Yang, and Li Yang couldn't wait to take a bite.

When he eats now, he either goes to the cafeteria or eats with people who have interests related to him, and there are no conflicts.

He can eat Xiangnu's meal with confidence.

After taking a bite, Xiangnu had already brought out the second dish.

She noticed that Li Yang had been staring at her, so she asked, "What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"

Li Yang said: "It tastes a bit like Ruyi Pavilion."

“Huh, you can even taste this?”

"Nonsense, the food at Ruyi Restaurant is no worse than that at Dasheng Restaurant. I don't believe that you, as the CEO of a large group, would have the energy to study cooking. Even if you knew how to cook before, you can't be so precise after not having tried it for so long."

Xiang Nu said: "Couldn't I have practiced in advance? Or asked a master to teach me?"

"You don't have that talent!"

"Okay, okay, okay, the chef will be out to see you soon! Eat something first..."

After saying that, Xiangnu put down the dishes and went back to the kitchen.

The third and fourth dishes were served by Xiangnu and Liu Ruyi. When Li Yang saw them, he said, "I told you, no one in the world can make dishes like Sister Ruyi's."

Maybe this is just a simple sentence, but to Liu Ruyi, it is more like a huge recognition.

Li Yang hasn't been to Beijing for more than a year.

She came to Li Yang, half-knelt down and put the dishes on the coffee table in the living room, and then didn't get up.

Li Yang stretched out his chopsticks and tasted a new dish: "Sister Ruyi's cooking skills are getting better and better. It tastes better than before."

"No, it's just that you're the only one who appreciates it. They never take the initiative to go to my place for dinner."

After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, she took the initiative to help Li Yang move the dishes that were a little further away to the front.

When Li Yang was eating alone at Ruyi Pavilion, she took care of him in this way, ensuring that all the dishes were within easy reach of Li Yang.

This time it was not placed on the dining table, but on the coffee table in the living room, which seemed a bit low.

Because of Liu Ruyi's presence, Li Yang did not need to change his sitting position frequently, and the whole process was very comfortable.

But... Xiangnu was ignored.

After a while, Xiangnu muttered, "Alas, I shouldn't be here. Do you need me to make room for you two?"

Li Yang said: "Just be content. If it weren't for me, you would have spent more than a thousand on this meal!"

Xiangnu: "..."

Even if it costs 10 million, she is willing to do it!
Anyway, she is not short of money now.

A meal costs 10 million, a day costs 30 million, and a year costs more than 10 billion.

With her current unstated net worth, she could at least eat with Li Yang for more than ten years.

Her net worth mainly includes the shares of Wanliu Capital. Li Yang lent them 30 billion yuan in the beginning. Afterwards, each of them cashed out more than 10 billion yuan and kept half of it.

Those stocks are currently worth 200 billion, or nearly 30 billion per person.

She did not invest in Green Water Group, but later she used the funds she cashed out from Wanliu Capital to invest in Kuaipai, which increased her share in Kuaipai.

Although Kuaipai does not have many profit points at present, its market is definitely top-notch, and the capital market has even given it a valuation of US$100 billion.

Including the 5% incentive, she holds 7% of Kuaipai's shares, which is worth tens of billions.

Next is Youku, which is in the IPO stage with a market value of more than 20 billion yuan, and she accounts for the majority.

A pure live streaming platform is like this, and it is also the result of linkage with Kuaipai. When live streaming on a certain fish app, a Kuaipai live streaming port will be provided, and both sides can broadcast live together.

Without this, the market value of a certain fish would be even lower.

……

I really don't know why Li Yang is so sweet-mouthed. Look at Liu Ruyi, she is almost unable to control herself and is willing to be a little maid with a happy look on her face.

Besides, why has this guy never spoken to me like this before?
After the meal, Liu Ruyi didn't eat a single bite, but she seemed very satisfied.

When she went to clean up the dishes, Xiangnu had the opportunity to talk to Li Yang alone.

"How was your meal today?"

"No need to say anything, why did you call Sister Ruyi over?"

This behavior is a bit unreasonable.

Xiang Nu said, "I didn't call her. I don't know what got her crazy. She sneaked over here. When she knew you were coming yesterday, she insisted that I call you over for dinner."

"Huh? Why didn't she just tell me?"

"Who knows."

Li Yang thought for a while and said, "Then I'll take her away later."

Xiangnu: “????”

You don’t do things behind people’s backs anymore, right?

Come to think of it, when has Li Yang ever carried anyone on his back?

It was like this when she was in Jiangcheng before. She didn’t know how many sleepless nights she had spent.

"I can't control your business. I called you here for another reason. A certain fish is going to go public. Don't you have any ideas? After all, you have a stake in it."

It was not easy for a certain fish brand to be listed in China because it had never made any profit before.

It was only in the past two years that we made some profit.

Although the Science and Technology Innovation Board does not have any requirements for company profitability, the live streaming platform does not meet the requirements of the Science and Technology Innovation Board.

The IPO application, which was submitted at the end of last year, was not approved until October this year, and is expected to be officially listed on the main board at the end of November.

Xiangnu knew that this was just a small company.

But this is her only company after all.

Quick shot? That's working for Li Yang, the major shareholders are Li Yang and Jiang Banxia.

Li Yang said helplessly: "The scale of live streaming is so small. If we don't sell goods through live streaming, there is basically not much room for growth. There is nothing we can do about it."

“What about live streaming sales?”

"Well... let's put it this way. If you really want to sell goods through live streaming, then go get authorization from Green Water Group and sell related products of Green Water Group. I can give you a 2% commission."

"Really?"

Xiangnu didn't expect Li Yang to speak.

Compared with other live streaming sales services, which often take 20 to 30 percentage points of commission, the commission rate of Green Water Group seems very low.

But Green Water Group’s brand name is valuable now, and it has no online sales channels.

If a certain fish takes it first, it will undoubtedly cause a sensation.

People from other places are too curious about Green Water Group.

"Give it! But there is a purchase limit! The current production of Green Water Group is not enough to cope with online channels, and selling too many products online is not a good thing." Li Yang did not dare to guarantee that his products would be 100% popular. In case too many were sold and some fakes appeared on the market, it would affect word of mouth and thus affect everyone's filter for Green Water Group.

Green Water Group does not exist for online channels, offline sales is the best result.

By creating filters, people are attracted to the nine counties. Even if they don’t like the related products, they may be attracted by other things.

For example, the living environment, cultural quality, infrastructure, etc. of a small county town.

People’s filters are sometimes so strange. We will always think something is beautiful if we don’t have it, but once we get it, we will find that it is not as perfect as we imagined, and we will instantly lose interest in it.

Even if it's not bad, there is still a psychological gap.

Xiang Nu asked, "If there is a purchase limit, it won't have much effect, right?"

"Why is it not big? It's mainly selling other products. Even Green Water World is mainly selling other products, right? You use Green Water Group's products as a gimmick to attract users who are inclined to shop. They will naturally buy some other household items or what they need. In this regard, Green Water Group can supply you with products at cost price, and try to make the annual report of a certain fish look better."

Green Water Group is a big customer, and the purchase price of many big brand products is not high, at least 20% lower than the market price.
For products with high sales volume on weekdays, Green Water Group will only add 5% to the price after deducting various costs, and only add 10% for products with average sales volume.
Fresh food and agricultural products have large losses and high costs, so Green Water Group often does not make any money.

A watermelon that costs three cents would cost eighty cents a pound in the supermarket if the quality control is stricter.

Most supermarkets sell their products for RMB 1.5 or RMB 2, but Green Water Group’s cost price is basically around RMB 80 cents.

Sometimes quality control is carried out directly on site to increase the purchase price.

On the whole, it is other products that make money because they are profitable.

A bottle of shampoo sells for 43 yuan in the market, but its general cost is only about yuan. Even if the labor, storage, and transportation costs are all taken into account, it is less than yuan. Green Water Group sells it for yuan, which is a few yuan cheaper than most of the products on the market, and it still makes a profit.

This is equivalent to Green Water Group making concessions to a certain fish platform, making the annual report of the certain fish platform look better and increasing its market value.

As for other things, Li Yang has no way for the time being. It is unrealistic to open up online sales in all aspects. At most, he can open up the sales of purchased goods.

"Then are we allowed to use the name of Green Water Group?"

"No! At least the official cannot say that..."

"Ohhh, so unofficial is fine, right?"

Li Yang: "..."

Xiangnu obviously already had an idea.

She did a very strong job in the last marketing, with a bit of Li Yang’s shameless style.

Li Yang had no doubt that she had other means.

After a while, Xiangnu asked, "Does live streaming really have no future?"

"Who said that? Yes! But live streaming on Kuaipai has a future, not on other platforms."

"why?"

"Too monotonous! All live broadcasts are a bit monotonous! Pure live broadcast platforms seem to have limited content and it is not easy to retain users. How many registered users does Mustang have? At least 150 million, right? If this were placed on a short video platform, the capital market would give it a valuation of at least 30 billion US dollars, but it would not work on a pure live broadcast platform. The retention rate is too low. Currently, there are only about 2 to 3 million people online on Mustang every day. Only with game competitions can it exceed 5 million, 8 million, or 10 million..."

How many of the same snapshots are posted online within three days?
Several hundred million!
It's totally not the same size.

Live streaming on short video platforms is very promising. Hosts can even create hot topics for each other to attract traffic. There is no difference between the host circle and the entertainment circle.

Xiangnu nodded: "It is true that more people watch the live broadcast on Kuaipai. Even if there is no promotion, people still prefer to watch the same anchor on Kuaipai."

"Because it's convenient. You can switch to something else at any time. For a pure live broadcast platform, you can switch back and forth but it's still live broadcast."

"Have you already considered a certain fish as a backup for quick shots?"

From beginning to end, the live streaming platform MouYu did not cause much trouble.

In the beginning, Snaps was incubated with gaming content. Later, as Snaps accumulated more content and signed more bloggers, Youku became useless.

This is also the reason why Li Yang is too lazy to become a major shareholder, there is no future in it.

"No, no, I still value a certain fish. After it goes public, I will definitely not sell off my shares!"

"That's because there's not much money to be made from reducing holdings! Even if we can sell some goods under the name of Green Water Group and increase annual revenue by tens of millions, the market value won't increase too much. That little money is nothing to you."

"Ahem...what nonsense are you talking about!"

At this moment, Liu Ruyi finished her work and came out, and Xiangnu didn't mention it anymore.

She felt that Mou Yu was just like herself, just a tool of Li Yang. After slowly squeezing out all the value from him, he would be of no use to her anymore.

Maybe I will keep it, but I will never take it to heart.

It’s just like her and Li Yang’s life. She was very optimistic about the live streaming platform back then and tried every means to get it.

The result? In just a few years, before it even reached its peak, it fell.

All the projects that Li Yang had started bit by bit before, even though they were not optimistic, have grown into giant groups after a few years.

Li Yang seems to always be doing the right thing, but her vision is not enough to support her in making the right choices.

She felt that she was getting further and further away from Li Yang, and was actually inferior to Liu Ruyi.

After all, Liu Ruyi’s cooking is really delicious and she can also give relaxing massages.

To Li Yang, these things are more important than anything else.

No wonder Li Yang reserved all the good words for Liu Ruyi. I have never heard these before.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Ruyi said, "Li Yang, is your place not cleaned up? After all, you haven't lived there for a long time. How about I help you clean it up?"

"Okay." Li Yang agreed immediately.

Xiangnu: "..."

Can you two act any more fake?

"You guys should leave now. Out of sight, out of mind. It's best if you don't come back tomorrow!"

After Xiangnu finished speaking, he went straight to the bedroom.

Liu Ruyi smiled slightly.

I didn't plan to come back tomorrow!

Half an hour later, the two returned to Li Yang's residence.

This house is still under Xue Ning's name.

After coming in, Liu Ruyi said, "Why don't you take a shower first? I'll help you tidy up the bedroom so you can sleep more comfortably later."

"Excuse me, Sister Ruyi."

"What's the trouble?"

……

For Li Yang, there is no need to be so polite to Xiangnu. After all, no one knows how many interests are intertwined between them.

She didn't leave last year, so she won't leave later.

Liu Ruyi is different. After all, they haven’t maintained their relationship for more than a year. Who knows what changes will happen?
It’s not that he cares or not, but he really enjoys the feeling of being served by Liu Ruyi.

Who doesn't want to enjoy it?

It’s just that Liu Ruyi is top-notch in all aspects, and it is difficult to find a better candidate than Liu Ruyi.

When he came out of the shower, Liu Ruyi had already made the bed and prepared tea at the bedside.

"You lie down for a while and drink some tea. I'll just wash up and come over."

"okay."

Li Yang lay on the bed, quieter than ever before.

The atmosphere is already here.

About ten minutes later, Liu Ruyi came over. At this time, Liu Ruyi had changed her clothes.

A white printed silk cheongsam with high slits, showing off Liu Ruyi's entire figure to the extreme.

Then she came to sit beside the bed and said, "I have learned some techniques from a master recently, but they were all practiced on models. This is the first time I practice on a person. If you feel uncomfortable later, please tell me."

"no problem!"

"Then I'll help you take off your pajamas..."

Liu Ruyi moved very slowly and she smelled very nice.

This immersive sense of relaxation cannot be experienced anywhere else.

Maybe he could experience it in some top clubs, but Li Yang didn't dare to go.

What's more, asking a top wealthy woman worth tens of billions to do this kind of thing feels completely different.

"Sister Ruyi, my hands are a little empty..."

"No, this is a method to strengthen the body and replenish the vital energy. It will take at least twelve hours."

"Ah? Really a technique?"

"Uh... I see you haven't looked very well lately."

Li Yang sighed and said, "Yeah, I haven't been sleeping well recently. Basically, I take a nap when I'm sleepy, and when I wake up, there are a lot of things to do. I don't even know how messed up my biological clock is."

It's actually a serious method?

Li Yang suddenly became more excited.

In life, isn't it just that you like to find innocence in informal shops and find informality in formal shops?
"Sister Ruyi, touch my legs..."
