Chapter 54 Investment
"How did I become a black sheep?"
Zhen Shao Yuan turned his head and asked Si Yi, "Si Yi, have you ever seen a prodigal son as handsome as me?"
Si Yi smiled: "No."
"Yeah. I'm confused. I just gave gifts to my fans and even did some charity work, even though the money wasn't mine. But I did mean it! How come I'm considered a spendthrift?"
I, Shao Yuan, shook my head, "People nowadays!"
Then I Shao Yuan opened my mobile phone, checked the balance in the card, and my eyes curved into crescents.
"But I'm happy. I'm a spendthrift, so I'm a spendthrift."
Seeing him so happy, Si Yi asked, "Master, do you like money very much?"
"Who doesn't like money? With over 20 million, I'm considered financially free now, right?"
I, Shao Yuan, took another look at the long string of balance and smiled.
Looking at the money-obsessed look of Zhen Shao Yuan, Si Yi said with a smile, "Then Master, are you still planning to be the purchasing agent?"
"Of course I would. Why not? That's my main job now. We have a saying in Han China: you can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Those billionaires worth tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars work diligently every day. I only have a little over 20 million, so of course I have to work harder than them."
"Besides, I don't have a car, a house, or a wife. I have to work harder."
I, Shao Yuan, encouraged myself in my heart.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, young man, you still need to work hard.
I, Shao Yuan, took one last reluctant look at the balance, then put my phone away.
Then he said, "Liu Ying's necklace was sent out last night, and the fan should receive it today. He should have received the men's shoes I gave him as well."
Last night, Wang Quanzhi delivered all the things that Shao Yuan bought.
Among them, the magic watch was taken away by Si Yi's men.
The necklace donated by Liu Ying was delivered to the fan by express delivery.
Finally, the ruby necklace remains in my hands.
Zhang Tao and Huang Zhiming, who attended the charity auction last night, were also given two small gifts by Shao Yuan when they left.
The gift packaging may be small, but the filling inside is quite big.
I, Shao Yuan, gave each of them a black dragon watch.
The price is around 100,000.
When they went back and opened it, they were overjoyed to find that it was a watch worth one hundred thousand yuan.
I quickly posted on Weibo to thank Shao Yuan.
As soon as I Shao Yuan finished speaking, the fan sent me a message saying that the item had been received.
He also thanked me, Shao Yuan, for sending him shoes. They were exactly his size.
Weibo is very lively at this time.
Because a lot of people are posting unboxing videos.
Before the unboxing video came out, many people were saying the grapes were sour because they couldn't get enough.
Everyone said that those fans were stupid and would spend so much money to buy Zhen Shao Yuan's blind box.
What are you talking about? You spend so much money and don’t even know what the thing you buy is like.
What else can you say? Who knows whether the things I, Shao Yuan, sent to you are real or fake?
When the fans who grabbed the blind boxes saw those words, they all retorted.
They all knew that these people must have said so many sour words because they couldn't get the blind box from Zhen Shao Yuan.
I, Shao Yuan, am willing to spend 3 billion for a necklace. Would I cheat for a mere 20 million?
Stop joking.
That’s right, those fans in Shao Yuan’s live broadcast room, after witnessing Shao Yuan’s arrogance.
They can easily say that more than 20 million is just a "small amount".
So, when those fans received the blind box, those who wanted to start live streaming started live streaming, and those who wanted to post videos posted videos immediately.
Although it is a blind box.
But I, Shao Yuan, am really not stingy.
For example, the 3,000 yuan blind box.
If the shoes you send out are of low price, I, Shao Yuan, will also give you a pair of earrings, a ring or other small items as a gift.
But even if the price is lower, it is still a pair of shoes worth about 6,000 yuan.
And to be honest, even if Heilong’s shoes and clothes are cheap, they are designed with great care.
There isn't a bad pair.
Anyway, anyone who buys a blind box will make a profit.
Among the women's and men's shoes, two or three pairs cost more than 100,000 yuan.
There are also several pairs that cost over ten thousand.
Those fans who received shoes worth over ten thousand yuan were extremely excited.
The fans who received tens of thousands of shoes were so excited that they jumped up on the spot.
It's as exciting as winning the grand prize.
No, this is hitting the jackpot.
If the unboxing video made me Shao Yuan famous.
Then the news of spending 3 billion to buy that ruby necklace made headlines.
My identity as Shao Yuan, a prodigal son, has been firmly established.
After all, even if the ruby necklace is real.
Mrs. Jenny was only willing to give out 3% of the shares of Carona Company.
That 3% stake is only worth about 3 billion.
In this case, all my efforts, Shao Yuan, would be in vain.
And brand value is really not very reliable.
Because once the stock market becomes turbulent.
That 3% stake may not be worth 3 billion.
But no matter what, the money has been given.
I, Shao Yuan, have donated 3 billion to Han country charities.
No, to be precise, I, Shao Yuan, donated 3 billion and 41 million.
Because there is also the Magic Spirit watch worth 40 million and the necklace worth one million.
This amount is more than what those big companies donated.
Therefore, I, Shao Yuan, was directly honored to be ranked among the great philanthropists of charity organizations.
With a total amount of 3 billion, it ranks eighth on the list.
The charity organization also called me, Shao Yuan, and said that they would mail a certificate to me in a week.
With this certificate, I, Shao Yuan, can be exempted from a large part of the tax when I start a company in the future.
Moreover, I, Shao Yuan, can also use this certificate to attend the charity organization's annual national charity dinner.
Of course, everything is in vain now that I haven’t received the certificate.
Because it became a hot topic, Ding Lanlan and Yu Shan in Lancheng also called to say hello to Shao Yuan.
They didn't stop until I, Shao Yuan, promised to bring them some local specialties.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jie and others came over.
They just wanted to come over and see the ruby necklace.
After all, their purpose of coming to City B this time was for this.
Seeing Zhou Jie and the others couldn't let go of it, Zhen Shao Yuan smiled and said, "Since you like it so much, why don't you just buy it back."
When Zhou Jie and others heard this, they quickly put down the ruby necklaces in their hands.
He waved his hand and said, "No, even if you sell us, you can't afford this necklace!"
Just kidding, this necklace costs 3 billion.
The total assets of Zhou Jie and others' families are just this much.
To buy this necklace, you would have to spend all your money.
At this moment, the hotel's royal suite butler suddenly called and said that Liu Ying wanted to come up and visit me, Shao Yuan.
"Liu Ying?"
I, Shao Yuan, was puzzled. Why did she come to see me?
Was she here to thank him for taking the picture of her necklace?
I don’t think so.
After all, this is not the first time that Queen Liu has participated in this kind of charity auction.
Although he was confused, he thought that she was his mother's idol after all.
I, Shao Yuan, still asked the butler to bring her up.
In addition to Liu Ying, Liu Ying's agent also came.
Zhou Jie and the other two were very tactful. When they saw that Shao Yuan had guests coming, they immediately said goodbye and left on the pretext of packing their luggage.
Si Yi led the two of them to sit across from Zhen Shao Yuan and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Liu Ying: "Boiled water is fine, thank you."
Liu Ying's agent echoed, "I just want plain water, thank you for the trouble."
"Okay, please wait a moment, both of you."
Si Yi nodded and turned to pour some water.
I, Shao Yuanze, went straight to the point and asked Liu Ying, "Miss Liu, you came to see me. What's the matter?"
Liu Ying said embarrassedly, "Excuse me for interrupting, but I'm actually here to thank Mr. Zhen."
"Thank me?" I, Shao Yuan, raised my eyebrows.
"Yes."
Liu Ying expressed her gratitude, "After the charity auction ended last night, Mr. Wang agreed to sign me and make me the spokesperson for the Huosang Hotel. Mr. Wang also said that it was Mr. Zhen who wanted me to be the spokesperson for the Huosang Hotel. I'm so grateful to Mr. Zhen."
I, Shao Yuan, waved my hand and said, "I have never said anything like that to President Wang. President Wang's decision to let you become the spokesperson for the Huosang Hotel was entirely his personal wish."
I, Shao Yuan, have never said this before. When Wang Quanzhi asked him if he thought Liu Ying was suitable to be the spokesperson for Huosang Hotel, I, Shao Yuan, just casually replied that it was suitable.
Unexpectedly, this actually happened.
By the way, I, Shao Yuan, also feel that Wang Quanzhi seems too easy to talk to.
Could it be that he was shocked by the system?
After all, the system is quite powerful.
"Mr. Zhen, you are being modest. I understand your concerns. But even if you don't address those false statements online, we will definitely handle them. We won't make things difficult for you, Mr. Zhen. Please rest assured."
Liu Ying thought that Shao Yuan said this because he read what those people said on the Internet.
"False statements on the Internet?"
I, Shao Yuan, have a mind full of questions.
Liu Ying was stunned. "You don't know?"
"I don't know."
Just then, Si Yi placed two glasses of water in front of Liu Ying and the other person.
I, Shao Yuan, asked Si Yi, "Si Yi, what is the false statement she made?"
Si Yi straightened his back and said calmly, "Someone on the Internet said that you and Miss Liu had an improper relationship. That's why you targeted Mr. Zhao Kangqian. Master, don't worry, we have already taken care of it."
"Oh, I see."
I, Shao Yuan, suddenly realized it, but didn't take it to heart.
He said to Liu Ying, "It's okay, you are innocent. Since Si Yi has taken care of it, let's just let it go."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhen."
Liu Ying and her agent Sister Hua were both very grateful to me, Shao Yuan.
They didn't expect that I, Shao Yuan, would not know about this.
But come to think of it, that incident only happened for half an hour.
All the bad comments were deleted.
If it was really done by someone under my command, then it is understandable that I, Shao Yuan, did not know about it.
Shao Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked Liu Ying, "By the way, Ms. Liu, how are the preparations for the couple travel variety show going?"
I, Shao Yuan, saw some entertainment gossip before, saying that Liu Ying’s studio seemed to be preparing a travel variety show for couples.
At that time, the news was also released on Liu Ying’s studio’s Weibo.
But there was no movement at all.
Because my mother was a fan of Liu Ying, I followed her Weibo.
It just so happened that Liu Ying was here, so I, Shao Yuan, asked another question out of curiosity.
"this……"
Liu Ying looked embarrassed.
"What? Can't you tell me?"
I, Shao Yuan, thought she was trying to keep something secret.
"Please don't misunderstand me, sir."
Manager Hua Jie explained: "Actually, that show may not be able to be filmed anymore."
"Why? Haven't you been preparing for a long time? I'm still going to watch."
I, Shao Yuan, quite like this kind of travel variety show.
He once had a dream, which was to eat and travel all over the world.
Being able to travel and eat and drink at public expense is exactly what he has always dreamed of.
"well."
Liu Ying sighed deeply and smiled bitterly.
"I'm not afraid of Mr. Zhen laughing at me. It's because of my ex-husband. After I divorced him, he has been using his uncle's influence in the entertainment industry to suppress me. Not only did he drive away the program's investors and title sponsors, he also found various excuses to temporarily freeze my funds."
"So, apart from being the spokesperson for Mr. Wang's Huosang Hotel, I don't have any other endorsements."
What she meant was that the program's investors had run away and she had no money.
Therefore, the variety show that had been planned for a long time could not be filmed at all.
After all, inviting celebrities and the like requires money.
If you don’t have money to hire celebrities, you won’t have traffic.
How can we possibly attract title sponsors then?
How can I earn advertising fees?
"Is that so?" Zhen Shao Yuan touched his chin and said, "So, how much investment do you need for your variety show?"
Liu Ying said: "If you want to invest, about 20 million will be enough."
"Twenty million?"
I, Shao Yuan, thought that I still had more than 20 million.
Directly said: "Then I will invest in you."
"real?"
Liu Ying and her agent Sister Hua became excited instantly.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhen, thank you so much."
Liu Ying didn't expect that Shao Yuan not only helped her get the endorsement of Huosang Hotel.
He also invested in himself in a timely manner.
However, she soon lost her joy again.
"But even if we find investment, we won't be able to invite those popular celebrity couples. After all, those celebrities don't want to offend Zhao Kangqian's uncle."
Liu Ying's smile is uglier than crying.
Zhen Shao Yuan wiped his chin and said, "What you want is a celebrity couple with a lot of traffic. It's really just for the traffic. If it comes with a lot of traffic, it doesn't matter if they are not a celebrity couple or a married couple, right?"
"Of course." Liu Ying said, "Nowadays, many internet celebrities also have a lot of traffic. But those people are also afraid of Zhao Kangqian's uncle. After all, Zhao Kangqian's uncle also has shares in the largest live broadcast platform."
"Well, I want a large flow, but I don't have to be afraid of Uncle Zhao Kangqian. What do you think of me?"
Zhen Shao Yuan pointed at himself and introduced himself, "Although I've only been live streaming for a few days, I already have 50 million followers. It was even on the trending search today. I think the traffic should be pretty good."
Liu Ying's eyes widened. "Mr. Zhen, are you willing to appear on our variety show?"
"Yes." I, Shao Yuan, nodded.
Why not go if you can travel at public expense?
Besides, he was planning to take the ruby necklace to the Romantic Country to exchange it for shares from Mrs. Jenny.
"But, this is a couples variety show. It won't work if you're alone, Mr. Zhen. You might need to bring your girlfriend along."
Given Shao Yuan's current popularity, Sister Hua is of course very happy for him to participate in the show.
But Sister Hua heard that I, Shao Yuan, am still a college student and not married.
I don’t know if he has a girlfriend.
If you want to bring your girlfriend along, I wonder if I, Shao Yuanjie, would mind.
After all, rich second-generations like this usually change girlfriends frequently.
If I were to go on the show, it might not be so easy to change my girlfriend.
When the show is broadcast, if Zhen Shao Yuan changes his girlfriend, he might be attacked by netizens.
"Girlfriend?" Zhen Shao Yuan pursed his lips, "No."
Suddenly, Zhen Shaoyuan pulled Siyi, who was standing next to him, and said, "If you don't have a girlfriend, a boyfriend will be fine, right?"
"Boy friend?"
"Boy friend?"
Liu Ying and Sister Hua looked at Si Yi in shock.
So, this butler is Mr. Zhen’s boyfriend?
And Si Yi, who inexplicably became Shao Yuan's "boyfriend", also had a rare look of surprise on her face.
After Shao Yuan and Liu Ying agreed on the investment, they went back to prepare the contract.
Said to come back in the afternoon.
After sending the two away, Si Yi finally couldn't help it.
"Master, you just said you wanted me to be your boyfriend. Were you joking?"
Shao Yuan laughed and said, "Do you think I was joking just now? The contract will be signed this afternoon."
"Why do you suddenly want to participate in that variety show?"
"Who said I suddenly wanted to join?"
Zhen Shao Yuan said: "I have wanted to participate in this variety show for a long time."
"Not only can I travel abroad for free at public expense, but I can also eat and drink for free. This is my ultimate dream."
"Besides, I spent so much money on this ruby necklace, so I need to exchange it. Someone is paying for us to go abroad at public expense, and we can save two plane tickets worth tens of thousands of dollars."
The most important thing is that this program was invested by me, Shao Yuan, so of course I have to support it.
"But I'm a robot, and I'm a man."
Si Yi really couldn't understand no matter how hard she tried, why would Shao Yuan let him become her boyfriend.
But I, Shao Yuan, disagree.
"What's wrong with a robot? If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. Who would know you are a robot?"
"Besides, our Han country's marriage laws are now open. Same-sex marriage is legal. Didn't two male celebrities announce their marriages not long ago?"
"But……"
I, Shao Yuan, interrupted him.
"Don't say buts. This is settled. Let's discuss the script."
Si Yi: "Script?"
Zhen Shao Yuan: "Yes, this variety show also has a script. I don't want others to arrange the script for me. So we have to write it ourselves."
Si Yi: "What script does the young master want to write?"
I, Shao Yuan: "The prodigal young master and the yandere housekeeper?"
Si Yi: “…”
I, Shao Yuan: "Or the arrogant young master and the charming housekeeper will do."
Si Yi: “…”
The author has something to say:
Ahhh, I forgot to auction off three items. Chapter 52 has been revised. Thanks to the cute guys who caught the bugs!
