High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 560 - 246: Jiang Banxia’s Analysis (Part 2)

Not long after the two of them arrived, Wang Cuiping and Li Likun also came.

Ning was of course present as well, but she had checked into a hotel.

Jiang Banxia, surrounded by the four parents, became introverted, despite her usually lively personality.

During the parents’ inquiries, she wished she could do a somersault to prove she was fine, no issues...

Li Yang didn’t say much, just helped with things like arranging rooms for them, getting toiletries, sheets, and quilts...

And also going downstairs to buy groceries.

Wang Cuiping and Dou Ying took a while politely discussing who should cook.

Jiang Yaoting and Li Likun exchanged opinions on Li Yang’s age.

Li Yang, who just turned twenty-one after the new year, was not yet of the legal marriage age and would have to wait until July 8th next year.

The previously calm lives of the two families began to stir at this moment.

In the past, there was talk, but no one knew if the two would eventually end up together and get married.

Now, everything was underway.

At night, Li Yang for the first time openly went to Jiang Banxia’s bedroom, signifying that the two families were formally confronting this relationship.

Previously, the two would sneak to the new house, never allowing the elders to witness them living together.

If not seen, it equated to it not happening.

Just like the symbolic nature of a wedding, it isn’t just symbolic; it lets relatives meet, creating a pressure against divorce in the future.

Leaning on Li Yang’s shoulder, Jiang Banxia asked, "Did Ning also come? There’s room at home. Why not have her stay over tomorrow too?"

"She doesn’t really want to; she’s already renting a place. Anyway, my parents aren’t planning to leave short-term and can take care of her."

"Hmm."

Jiang Banxia didn’t think much now; with both families’ parents present, she felt assured.

Just that being cared for increased, and the private space between her and Li Yang decreased a bit.

At least they couldn’t be affectionate everywhere.

The next day, Li Yang went to school, starting his junior second-semester life.

Every day after class, he’d come over here, dine with the family, chat with Jiang Banxia, and handle some company matters.

A few days later, Jiang Yaoting left, and Li Likun and Wang Cuiping went to stay at the place Ning rented, but they would come daily to see Jiang Banxia and help clean up and shop.

Life entered another track, with everyone becoming busier.

It felt like returning to the era of bustling for the family.

Both Dou Ying and Wang Cuiping hadn’t felt pressured in a long time.

Even though Ning was pregnant, it was far from comparable to this for Wang Cuiping.

...

Over at Extreme Shadow Cars, cars were slowly being delivered according to production capacity, and more online reviews about the cars began appearing.

The first batch of Extreme Shadow Car owners were frequently invited for test drives by media, earning a few thousand dollars each time.

For those with many channels, they had already earned back the purchase cost.

At the end of March, Wanliu Capital’s first round of financing successfully concluded, with Convolution Group taking 6% of Wanliu Capital for 18 billion.

And news of Wanliu Capital’s impending IPO was also out, causing quite a stir.

Because... Fund companies rarely go public.

Private equity needing to go public has to meet many mutual fund requirements.

That’s almost unfeasible for private equity.

While it’s much simpler for public funds to go public.

Unfortunately... Going public is rather pointless for public funds.

If small scale, you can’t meet the listing requirements. If large scale with steady profitable projects, why go public? Going public means sharing profits, and fund companies have secure returns; who would want to do such thankless tasks?

Almost all public funds capable of qualifying for listing are not short of funds.

Many couldn’t understand Wanliu Capital’s move this time.

In early April, several funds of Wanliu Capital completed liquidation, including the previous Wanliu Global Selection.

Replacing it was another fund, Wanliu Global Allocation One-Year Closed-End Mixed, officially issued and closing on May 1st.

Extreme Shadow Car buyers could redeem points.

Li Yang smoothly obtained the qualification certificate and joined Wanliu Capital in a cooperative manner.

Since he was still in university, he couldn’t sign a labor contract and could only participate as a collaborator.

However, he wouldn’t receive less money.

He was the first to allocate Wanliu Capital’s own funds and patiently waited for other funds to enter.

Anyway, the net value started running from that day.

The main stocks he held were NVIDIA, Boeing, Tesla, Weibo, and Ali.

With a quota of five billion US dollars, it was easily filled, just taking a bit long to operate, buying a little each day.

After Li Yang started operating, Jiang Banxia often watched him at work.

She wouldn’t return until midnight.

Whereas Li Yang stayed until three or four in the morning before leaving, not going to Jiang Banxia’s, but rather finding a room to rest alone.

Dou Ying saw all this and admired Li Yang in terms of work; handling so many companies with seemingly endless energy.

Jiang Banxia too, even pregnant, recently started having nausea but insisted on staying, from nine o’clock till midnight.

She didn’t understand why they still worked so hard when they were not lacking in money.

To grow bigger and stronger was understandable, but life shouldn’t only be about work.

Overall, she was still very satisfied with Li Yang’s attitude towards life.

He treated Jiang Banxia well, always pampering her, never losing his temper.

Because of this, Li Yang missed a lot of morning classes, as he was catching up on sleep.

Every day when Jiang Banxia woke up, she’d review Li Yang’s operations.

Not complicated, even very simple; even a novice could reach this step.

But she wasn’t a novice and could see the reasoning behind Li Yang’s operations.

Simply put, Li Yang’s operations were extremely purposeful, others might overlook the most crucial point, but she wouldn’t.

The most crucial point was stock selection and setting a direction.

Li Yang casually determined the toughest parts, his thought process was definitely different from others.

What was the logic behind these stocks?

Not just the surface level financial factors, there wasn’t anything special about the financials.

Even if Li Yang’s side entered with one or two hundred million dollars daily, it wouldn’t make much of a splash in these stocks with combined market value exceeding a trillion dollars.

Until one day, Jiang Banxia saw a piece of news.

Aurora Studio launched a joint graphics card with Seven-Colored Rainbow, with over 100,000 units pre-ordered online

This project should have been confirmed last year.

Even if Seven-Colored Rainbow had no technology, just being an assembly factory using NVIDIA’s tech, it couldn’t have soldered a PCB board in such a short time.

Meanwhile, the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Citywide League was in full swing, players reaching the national top 64 could share a five-million prize pool.

Making it to the national top 32 allowed sharing a ten-million prize pool.

Next up, the top 24 shared a twenty-million prize pool, top 16 shared a fifty-million prize pool, and they obtained PCL club qualifications.

The champion would uniquely enjoy the final prize pool of ten million.

It was a league with over a hundred million in prizes, with perfect rules and regulations.

Especially concerning player guarantees.

The PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Professional Player Protection Act set by Aurora Studio clearly stated, in professional regular seasons, anyone participating in over twenty matches a year successfully clocks in for that year, and clocking in successfully for three years throughout their career, after age sixty, they could receive a monthly subsidy of fifteen hundred yuan.

Successfully clocking in for five years would entitle them to a two-thousand-yuan monthly subsidy after sixty.

Clocking in for seven years resulted in a three-thousand-yuan monthly subsidy.

Note: Appearance includes, but is not limited to, coaches and analysts.

All funds partially originate from event bonuses; 30% of any PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds event bonuses are pooled into a welfare fund, with Aurora Studio adding an additional twenty million US dollars annually, and 20% of transfer fees are used to ensure future eSports player stability stipends.

This signified that Aurora Studio officially formalized eSports.

By then, all funds would be packaged as a financial product for Wanliu Capital to operate.

Jiang Banxia slowly realized Li Yang’s motive for entering NVIDIA.

He had been planning this long ago, with the stock entry reaching its final hurdle.

Such planning she surely wasn’t capable of.

But... what was the intention behind investing in Tesla?

...

In mid-April, Li Yang met with Li Xiao again.

At this time, Bitcoin had risen to a thousand US dollars, and Li Yang knew, by the end of the year, it would skyrocket to twenty thousand US dollars.

And Li Xiao, at that time, still wanted to sell Bitcoin.
