Chapter 829 - 338: Xiangnu’s Invitation

Chapter 829: Chapter 338: Xiangnu’s Invitation

Li Yang does not deny any conspiracies or whatnot.

That money is what he and Jiang Banxia deserve.

During this period, he has completed reducing his holdings and announced it publicly.

In total, he reduced by 210 billion, after tax, he received 168 billion. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

It’s a substantial amount, enough to sustain the expansion of Green Water Group and Extreme Shadow Group, but not enough to support the birth of a new group.

Industry and finance complement each other; if it’s only pure finance, then it’s just a castle in the air.

If it’s only pure industry, the capital flow will slow down, and without the tool of finance, it cannot maximize the value of the industry.

Li Yang now has the strength to control the consumer end, but currently, he still cannot control the supply end.

The following more than a billion will be entirely invested in enhancing the supply end.

For instance, his own clothing brand, grain and oil brand, and technology.

In the four major aspects of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, he definitely wants to be involved, although it’s not easy.

Just pressing oil alone costs a significant amount of money.

Grain processing is relatively easier to talk about, as any processing plant in the country is considered top-tier, but he still needs to establish his own channels to differentiate from market products.

It’s not for making money, but providing a production end that can expand the entire financial system. Even if there are drastic external changes, the whole system can still obtain increments.

Playing finance doesn’t increase money that didn’t exist; it just inflates the existing money with more bubbles, and bubbles inevitably burst one day.

With a constant supply from the production end, even if it’s just one or two percent of returns per year, it can sustain the bubble in the financial end from bursting.

In the financial sector, this is called a moat.

Essentially, all of Li Yang’s groups are doing one thing, which is stabilizing middle-class wealth, using that wealth to provide jobs for the poor, giving the poor a chance to become middle class.

But this process will take a long time, possibly ten to twenty years, and some employees may never become middle class in their lifetime.

But just like the college entrance exam, at least there’s the opportunity. The road is there, and even if you don’t want to walk it, it at least means life won’t be too bad.

In Li Yang’s view, for this system to start operating, there has to be at least a scale of 3 trillion for it to function.

Extreme Shadow Group has an annual revenue of a little over 100 billion; unless it sells over a million cars a year with an average price of around 600,000, reaching 600 billion is impossible.

Green Water Group’s revenue is still quite far off; it’ll take more than two years to operate normally, and an annual revenue of a billion would already mean the previous plans were successful.

His ideal number is nine malls operating at full capacity every day, with daily revenue of 3 billion, totaling over 10,000 billion a year.

He doesn’t need to pursue high profits; even breaking even or a loss of 1% a year is enough to sustain for decades or even centuries.

And through the financial level, Jiang Banxia can earn it back.

A 3 trillion system can directly support a million employees and indirectly determine the main income of 30 million people in related industrial chains. This is the Undying Golden Body, nothing else is reliable.

Anyway, in Li Yang’s view, the money on hand is not enough.

The money abroad counts as a backup plan, not convenient to bring back at the moment, so it doesn’t count.

Anyway, the returns from Wanliu Capital are what he deserves; why not take it?

It’s not like there were no dividends.

...

On Saturday morning, Li Yang didn’t get up until after one in the afternoon, and right after, he found Jiang Banxia’s team, arranged for someone, and drove his car away.

Then he drove another car with an unfamiliar license plate alone afterward.

Being prepared for future incidents.

The main reason was the short distance, and there was no plane available.

And at this stage, taking the high-speed train is quite complicated; if someone on the train is diagnosed, he would also have to be quarantined.

The safety of Li Yang and Jiang Banxia will become increasingly important in the future. Previously, it was just Jiang Banxia, but now he is gradually unable to hide as well.

He cherishes his life; previously, for the sake of freedom, he took risks that were almost nonexistent, except for acts of God.

But now... freedom and such are not important anymore.

Three hours later, he went straight to Zheng Dasheng’s restaurant, and Xiangnu had booked the meal in advance, just waiting for him to come by and eat.

At the table, Li Yang was eating heartily, while Xiangnu watched on, asking: "Why didn’t you eat something before leaving?"

"I’ve already eaten at home; I was too lazy to ask my mom to cook. Besides, the main thing is I’m tired of it; my mom’s cooking skills are just average."

Xiangnu asked: "What about this restaurant?"

"It’s not bad."

"How does it compare to Ruyi Hall?"

"Definitely no comparison; the cook isn’t even in the same league."

Sometimes the food is all about the aura; dishes made by a beautiful woman taste better and elevate the entire level.

It’s always like that; when a beauty sets up a stall, even if the goods are pricier, someone will still pay.

The same goes for a handsome guy setting up a stall.

"Then why don’t you come over to my place tomorrow, and I’ll cook for you."

Li Yang: "??? Murder?"

...

The news of price hikes for Extreme Shadow Cars gradually spread in the automotive market, mainly because the previous battery orders of Extreme Shadow Group had been consumed, and new contracts had to be used in the future.

The purchase price for lithium batteries in the new contract almost doubled, increasing the cost per car by an average of 80,000 yuan.

For domestic new power car manufacturers, this is absolutely beneficial.

The bosses of a few new power enterprises rarely sat together.
