Shanghai, airport, train station exit.
As soon as Gao Yan arrived at the exit, he saw Li Chaonan and a thin young man standing in the crowd.
"Hey bro, over here!"
Li Chaonan waved to Gao Yan.
"Brother Li, I'm so sorry to have troubled you to pick me up!"
Gao Yan strode forward, a smile on his face.
"Hey, why are you being so polite? Anyway, I'm a free man. By the way, let me introduce you. This guy is Zhong Xiaoming, the one in the car enthusiast group who named his dog 'Ex-Boyfriend'."
When it comes to car enthusiast groups in Shanghai, Gao Yan has the deepest impression of four group members because their nicknames are quite interesting. One goes shopping wearing only his underwear, another is called "Kissing You with a Cigarette in His Mouth," another is called "Night Raid on a Male Brothel," and finally, Zhong Xiaoming's nickname is "Raising a Dog and Naming It to My Ex-Boyfriend."
"Young Master Gao, I've heard so much about you. I'm Zhong Xiaoming. You can call me Xiao Zhong or Xiaoming, it's fine!" Zhong Xiaoming said, extending his hand.
"I'll still call you Brother Xiaoming, it's more friendly. I'm Gao Yan, so don't call me anything like Young Master Gao, just call me by my name," Gao Yan said, extending his hand.
"Let's go, this isn't a good place to chat!"
The three of them headed straight for the parking lot and arrived at a black Rolls-Royce. Li Chaonan opened the car door and said, "Brother, get in!"
On the bus.
Li Chaonan asked with a smile, "Brother, are you going to the hotel to rest for a while, or to the live streaming guild?"
Gao Yan said, "No need to rest. I'll just sleep on the plane anyway. I'll go to the guild first and take care of things. Then I'll treat you to a meal. But I'm not familiar with Shanghai, so you'll have to recommend a place to eat!"
Li Chaonan waved: "Hey, how can I let you treat me when we're in Shanghai? Don't worry, I've already arranged a place to eat, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
"Brother Li, I don't know what to say!"
"If we're brothers, don't be so formal!"
Although this was only their second meeting, Gao Yan did indeed think highly of Li Chaonan, who gave off a very magnanimous impression.
"Alright, since Brother Li has said so, I won't stand on ceremony with you!" Gao Yan said with a smile.
More than half an hour later.
The Rolls-Royce arrived at the foot of a building. Li Chaonan introduced, "The owner of this live-streaming company is Zhang Zixuan. He's a young tycoon who used to enjoy tipping female live-streamers online. Later, he confessed his feelings to his goddess but was rejected. So he insisted on starting his own business, investing 20 million yuan. But he's not cut out for it. Look, it's only been three months and he's almost at the end of the tunnel. If you don't acquire it, it'll probably go bankrupt in another two months. But he's a decent guy, and we can hang out together!"
As they were talking, the three of them took the elevator to the twelfth floor of the office building.
Guild leader Chen Zixuan received advance notice and was therefore waiting at the company entrance to greet them.
"Brother Li, Brother Xiaoming, you're here. By the way, this must be Young Master Gao, right?"
Chen Zixuan greeted him warmly. The other person looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, quite handsome, but with a slightly effeminate demeanor.
"Hello, Mr. Chen!"
Gao Yan greeted him with a smile: "I'm Gao Yan!"
"Young Master Gao, you're too kind. Just call me Zixuan!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Zixuan led the three of them into the company, first showing Gao Yan around and introducing everything to him.
The company's area is quite large, more than 800 square meters. After all, it's a second-generation rich kid starting a business, so it has to have a certain image. Therefore, the rented company space can't be small.
“Young Master Gao, I paid a year’s rent for the company’s land directly. There are still 9 months left, and the contract is for five years!” Chen Zixuan said.
Southern Metropolis is not comparable to Shanghai.
Previously, Gao Yan rented an office space for just over one yuan per square meter, but Chen Zixuan rented one for 4 yuan per square meter per day. Multiplying that by 800 square meters, it would cost over 3,000 yuan. In a month, the rent alone would amount to 100,000 yuan.
Next, regarding the software aspect of this live streaming company, there are 112 streamers, who are scattered across various platforms.
Chen Zixuan was honest and didn't boast about his achievements.
Instead, he told Gao Yan with a wry smile that the streamers he signed were all rather mediocre. Only two or three of them could make money, a dozen or so could barely break even, and the rest were losing money.
In addition, the company had to support 56 employees, and in a place like Shanghai, it was impossible to recruit people if the wages were low. As a result, the company lost money for three months.
Of the 20 million yuan I asked my family for, only 5 million yuan remains.
If this continues, the 5 million yuan will be completely lost in two months at most.
If the company were transferred to Gao Yan, the loss of seven million could be reduced. However, he also made it clear in advance that he would have to withdraw the remaining five million.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to transfer it for 6.8 million.
"Mr. Chen, is the contract ready?"
Gao Yan could tell that Chen Zixuan was indeed very sincere, so there was no need to waste any more time and he went straight to the point.
"Young Master Gao, you're very generous! The contract was already prepared!"
After signing the transfer contract in Chen Zixuan's rather luxurious office, Gao Yan had the system transfer 6.8 million yuan to Chen Zixuan.
Yesterday's profits reached 210 million, and with the system's nine-fold return, Gao Yan's system reserves reached 5.662 billion.
Therefore, 6.8 million is nothing to Gao Yan.
Upon receiving the money, Chen Zixuan couldn't help but beam with joy. He had lost nearly 8 million yuan in three months, and he was truly heartbroken. If he had used that 8 million yuan to woo women, he didn't know how many legs he could have broken open.
"Haha, thank you so much, Young Master Gao! I'm finally free! Tonight, it's my treat at Bar 13!" Chen Zixuan said happily.
