Chu Yu had always had a dedicated team to help her manage her assets and conduct investment evaluations. As the late 1990s approached, with more and more high-quality companies emerging, Chu Yu decided to establish an investment institution.
Yu Xiangwen was very interested. "Longcheng and I both have money. If you're going to set up an investment institution, please bring us along. Then we can all invest in more companies."
Chu Yu did not refuse. She might not have enough money. Some internet companies might need billions of yuan to raise funds, and Chu Yu only had enough money to invest in a few companies.
To become a professional investment institution, you still need more capital.
Chu Yu nodded and said, "Once I've finalized the organization, you can transfer the funds in."
Yu Xiangwen had no objection. They had worked together for so many years, how could they not have a basic level of trust?
Chu Yu named his investment firm Gaoyang. Gaoyang Capital will target high-quality companies for investment both domestically and internationally. Chu Yu has lived two lives; he may not be good at other things, but he can certainly find high-quality companies.
She plans to invest in a mineral water company, a medical glove company, a new energy company, a footwear and apparel company, and a laundry detergent company this year.
The advantage of setting up an investment firm is that she can have others make money for her without having to run the business herself.
There are so many talented people in China, and many successful businesses exist in all walks of life. They just need capital to expand their scale. What Chu Yu needs to do is be their fairy godmother, appearing when they need her.
The companies that Chu Yu favored were all famous companies in later generations, especially the laundry detergent company, which looked unremarkable but had very impressive annual reports.
Medical glove companies are even more so; they are monopolies with very stable annual revenue. Investing in such companies for twenty or thirty years will not cause any problems.
There was also this mineral water company, a very famous enterprise in later years, whose CEO held absolute control and amassed a fortune of hundreds of billions. However, that was many years later. At present, the mineral water company was just starting out, unable to secure financing, facing financial difficulties, and at one point, struggling to make ends meet. It was at this time that Chu Yu extended an olive branch, wanting to invest in it. The initial investment was planned to be 100 million yuan to import foreign equipment and upgrade the mineral water purification process.
The remaining companies are all industry leaders, and Chu Yu is very optimistic about them. He thinks that once this batch of investments is finalized, Chu Yu's net worth will increase by tens or even hundreds of billions.
"Boss lady, someone's looking for you outside," an employee called out to Shen Jun, craning her neck.
Shen Jun went outside and saw Liu Mingchuan standing at the door waiting for her. Shen Jun smiled and said, "Professor Liu."
Liu Mingchuan curled his lips. He had driven here this time, and bought a Susen 97 from Chu Yu's company. He had two intentions in buying this car: first, to let Shen Jun know that he supported Chu Yu's business; and second, to let Shen Jun know his sincerity.
He didn't want to ride a bicycle to pick up Shen Jun, but Shen Jun's place was inconvenient, so Liu Mingchuan decided to buy a car anyway.
He spent a few days taking the driving test.
These days there are few cars, and the driver's license test is very easy. Liu Mingchuan passed the test quickly and then drove to pick up Shen Jun.
Shen Jun pursed her lips, her face slightly flushed. "Professor Liu, would you like to come in and sit down?"
Liu Mingchuan stopped her, coughed, and said, "There's a movie coming out recently, are you free?"
Shen Jun was actually busy; she was quite occupied today. However, if she said she was busy, Liu Mingchuan's hard-won courage would dissipate again.
Shen Jun nodded. "Then wait for me a moment, I'll go over and explain."
"Okay!" Liu Mingchuan was very excited, rubbing his hands as he stood next to the passenger seat. After a while, Shen Jun changed her clothes, retied her hair, and put on a light-colored lipstick. Liu Mingchuan quickly opened the door for her, "I just bought this car. I'll buy you a seat cushion later so you can sit more comfortably."
Shen Jun suppressed a laugh and agreed.
Liu Mingchuan was even happier.
Liu Mingchuan took Shen Jun to the largest cinema in the city center, where the screen was better. Chu Yu had also brought Shen Jun here a few times, and Shen Jun had also come with her colleagues, but she had never come on a date with a man.
Liu Mingchuan bought popcorn, and Shen Jun smiled, "Thank you."
Liu Mingchuan became even more nervous, rubbing his hands incessantly. "Do you like popcorn? Should I buy something else? There are sunflower seeds for sale at the entrance, would you like some?"
Shen Jun smiled and popped a piece of popcorn into his mouth. Liu Mingchuan was stunned, his face suddenly turned red, and he felt that the popcorn in his mouth was particularly sweet.
Liu Mingchuan was extremely excited, like a loyal dog, eager to wag his tail at Shen Jun. Shen Jun had never met such an interesting person in her life. In fact, she had lived two lives and never planned to get married, but Liu Mingchuan's simplicity touched her.
Shen Jun couldn't quite explain her feelings for Liu Mingchuan.
In this life, she only had one man, Chu Yu's father, in her previous life. When this life came to her, the original owner's relationship with her man was already very bad. Shen Jun quickly divorced her man and lived alone for many years.
In her past life, she met Chu Yu's father through a blind date arranged by someone else.
In those days, there was no concept of love or romance.
Shen Jun had never been in a relationship, but it was impossible for her to remain unmoved by someone being so clumsy in their kindness towards her.
After watching the movie, just as she stepped outside, Shen Jun saw a sweet potato vendor outside. She smiled and asked, "Want me a sweet potato?"
Liu Mingchuan's eyes lit up. He liked women to just say what they wanted so he wouldn't have to guess. He happily went to buy sweet potatoes, wrapped them in paper, blew on them to cool them down, and handed them to Shen Jun.
Shen Jun took a bite; the sweet potato was very sweet. She glanced at Liu Mingchuan, who was staring at her, and smiled as she held the sweet potato to his lips. She acted like a queen-like older sister, teasing her younger brother without realizing it. Liu Mingchuan was arrogant and eccentric in front of others, but in front of Shen Jun, he was completely submissive to her.
Liu Mingchuan opened his mouth and took a bite, his face turning red with amusement at Shen Jun's action.
At his age, he stood at the entrance of the movie theater, biting into someone else's sweet potato.
This is something Liu Mingchuan never did when he was young, let alone at this age. Many young people stared at them, perhaps because they had never seen people their age coming out to watch a movie and feeding each other sweet potatoes.
The more they looked, the more smug Liu Mingchuan became.
Shen Jun was amused by his childish behavior, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and asked, "What are we having for dinner? Do you have any plans?"
"Yes!" Liu Mingchuan had done his homework before coming here. The female employees of the company recommended some restaurants to him, and Liu Mingchuan chose one that was close to the movie theater.
Are there any activities after dinner?
Liu Mingchuan looked uneasy. "No...nothing. After dinner, we'll just take a walk to digest. Then I'll take you back."
Shen Jun chuckled to herself, "Okay, shall we go eat first?"
Shen Jun and Liu Mingchuan got along very well together. Seeing that Shen Jun's complexion was getting better and better, Chu Yu also felt that she might be getting a stepfather.
Chu Yu might be picky if someone else were to be her stepfather, but if it were Liu Mingchuan, she would be quite happy.
Liu Mingchuan is really quite good, talented and smart. Actually, they are at the age where they can have a child. Chu Yu thinks that the two of them can speed things up and get married as soon as possible. Who knows, he might actually give Chu Yu a younger brother or sister.
