"Demon City, I'm back again..."

Wei Yang looked at the bus stop sign on the street and sighed while sitting in the car.

This year has been very tiring for him. He has been busy filming since the Spring Festival. He took a month off and then was busy promoting the movie. Now that the filming of "Joy of Life" has been completed, he can finally relax.

"A Fei, call Hu Ya later and ask her how our visas are going, and give me a flight schedule."

"Got it. I'll contact Secretary Hu as soon as I get back."

Wei Yang nodded in satisfaction, and then asked with a smile: "How is it? Are you really not going to the United States with me this time? I will reimburse you for the entire trip."

Wei Fei smiled shyly: "I won't go. I'll stay at home and spend more time with my grandma. Also, I want to visit Xiaoyu's parents."

"Meeting your mother-in-law so soon?"

Wei Yang was a little surprised. Wei Fei was his personal assistant. He had to cooperate closely with Wei Yang's work and life and might receive instructions at any time, so he had very little private time at his disposal.

This time when Wei Yang went abroad for vacation, he didn't have many other needs except the necessary bodyguards, so he also gave Wei Fei a vacation.

It is understandable that Wei Fei hooked up with a junior clerk in the company last year, gave up traveling abroad, chose to accompany his grandmother, and spent time alone with his girlfriend.

But Wei Yang didn't expect that after only dating for a little over a year, they had already reached the stage of meeting each other's parents.

"Her mother heard that I was from another place and wanted to meet her. Besides, you also know my family situation, so I want to get married as soon as possible."

Wei Fei’s girlfriend, who is a clerk, is pretty, has an average income and education, but is a native of Shanghai.

In the marriage market in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, local household registration is extremely advantageous.

Girls in Shanghai with local household registration rarely marry outside the city. In fact, in the early years, there were not many who married outsiders. Now, with the development of the times, this concept has changed a little, but local marriages are still the main focus.

It is very difficult for a young man from another place to marry a local girl. Not only do they need to have excellent personal conditions, but they also often have to face the special views of the older generation.

Wei Yang has lived in Shanghai for several decades in his two lifetimes, so he knows the psychology of some of the older generation of Shanghai people.

To put it bluntly, people outside Zhejiang, Shanghai and southern Jiangsu don't even consider it. It's not just an economic issue, but also because of the inconsistency in living habits and local customs.

Therefore, many parents in Shanghai, no matter whether their children are boys or girls, as soon as they hear that the partner is from outside Shanghai, their first thought is to stop them.

Wei Fei's situation is better. His girlfriend's family conditions are average, and his good job + high income are a good plus.

After several years, Blue Whale is no longer a small company and still has some fame in Shanghai. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is quite respectable to be able to work here.

Not to mention that Wei Fei is Wei Yang's personal assistant, and can even be considered an executive agent. He has a special position, high authority, and a very considerable income.

His basic salary alone easily exceeds 10,000 yuan per month, and with performance bonus + year-end bonus, his annual income is about 300,000 to 500,000 yuan.

This is just the apparent income. As Wei Yang's most trusted confidant, Wei Fei knows a lot of things, and is usually responsible for handling some other tasks requested by Wei Yang personally.

Boss Wei wants to win over people, so he is usually not too stingy. He occasionally sends a "small red envelope" or a useless gadget.

All these things added up would definitely be more than his salary.

In 2012, Wei Fei's annual salary was hundreds of thousands of yuan, and his so-called disadvantages such as being an outsider, having no parents, and having a high school education became less important to some extent.

To be honest, in Wei Yang's opinion, Wei Fei could actually hold on a little longer and there was no need to be so anxious.

He is now younger than Wei Yang, and his income has only increased dramatically in the past two years. Now he even has some pressure to buy a house.

As Boss Wei has a bright future, as a close aide, as long as he works hard and follows the boss's lead, his future will also improve. He can simply wait a few more years.

By then, Wei Fei will have accumulated more capital, and he will be more popular in the marriage market, and the girls he can meet will be of higher level.

When Wei Yang first started out, Wei Fei followed him. He has worked diligently and loyally for years, and Boss Wei also treats him as a half-brother. If possible, he naturally hopes that his younger brother can get a better home.

Of course, if Wei Fei really liked that young clerk, Wei Yang would not say anything.

But it would be good to have two more years of contact to understand their personalities and families. The current progress is a bit too fast.

But he also understood. Wei Fei's father died early, his mother remarried, and he grew up with his grandparents. His grandfather passed away two years ago and his grandmother was in poor health.

The old lady only had one wish, which was to see her grandson get married and have children, so that she could repay her son who died early. So Wei Fei was anxious to fulfill his grandmother's wish.

Regardless of whether this matter is right or wrong, Wei Yang, as an outsider, cannot persuade others.

If Wei Yang were in Wei Fei's shoes, he would probably make the same choice if he encountered a similar situation as Wei Fei. So he could only give more reminders and help keep an eye on things, but he couldn't do anything else.

The car drove to Yunhua Mansion where his parents lived. Wei Yang asked Wei Fei and Huo Jun who was driving to wait for a while, and he went into the villa.

After about ten minutes, Wei Yang and the nanny came out with several boxes and trunks.

"This box is a tonic. I asked if it's suitable for the elderly. Ah Fei will bring it to your grandmother. This box of Moutai and this blood swallow and other things are good things for beauty and skin care. You can go back to your father-in-law's house and get them to show off..."

Wei Shan and Wang Yunping were reluctant to spend money, so every time Wei Yang came back, he would bring a lot of bags, or he would give money to Xiao Zhao to help him with crazy shopping.

Especially after learning that Wei Yang's parents had moved to Shanghai, the house was filled with good things, and they even cleaned up a room specifically to store these gifts.

Just now, when Wei Yang heard that Wei Fei was going to visit his father-in-law, he went to get some things since they were more than enough at home.

The wine and bird's nest cost nearly 20,000 yuan in total. Wei Fei bought some more of his own money, so this gift was quite impressive.

“Brother, I…”

"Okay, perform well. I wish you success. Come on, Lao Huo, these two sets of cosmetics are for your wife."

Wei Yang would not favor one over the other. Wei Fei was his confidant, and so was Huo Jun. This time it was a special situation so he gave Wei Fei more, but Huo Jun's share would not be less either.

Huo Jun and Wei Fei had a good relationship, so he didn't care about it. Instead, he took out a package of cosmetics on his own initiative.

"My wife can't use it either, so I'll give one to Ah Fei."

"Okay, I just need a set of makeup. After all, this is our first meeting."

If Wei Yang really wanted to give something, a gift of 100,000 or 80,000 yuan wouldn't be a big deal, but now he doesn't know if it will be successful. Wouldn't it seem like he's being taken advantage of by giving so many things?

Besides, you set such a high standard the first time, so what should you do next time? There are also some rules for gift-giving.

Wei Yang didn't care. He could afford this standard every day. Wei Fei still had to live his life.

It’s not that Huo Jun really didn’t understand, he just didn’t react. He smiled knowingly and patted Wei Fei on the shoulder.

"Come on, when you get married, I'll give you a big red envelope."

After seeing the two off, Wei Yang couldn't help but sigh. The little kid who used to follow him around was now thinking about getting married.

Although Liu Shishi's previous proposal of having a child was just a whim, it also shows that as he gets older, many acute practical problems begin to approach Wei Yang, and when people around him get married one after another, his pressure will become greater and greater.

After returning to the villa, Wang Yunping asked a few more questions, and Wei Yang made up an excuse to get away with it.

If she knew about this, she would definitely be tortured! Instead of worrying about these issues, Wei Yang would rather pursue his career, make more money, and create more favorable and generous conditions for himself and his future descendants.

Now, there are more than two months left until the end of 2012, and Wei Yang's wealth and funds have increased significantly.

This money cannot remain idle. In addition to daily investment and financial management, Wei Yang also personally monitored several projects.

One of them is a pink website called Bilibili.

This website is not very famous at present, and its user base is very small. Even among websites of the same category, it is weaker than Station A.

According to Wei Yang's investigation, Bilibili, which was founded in 2009, had not yet been officially established as a company at the beginning of last year, and some of its founding members even worked part-time.

Also last year, due to the need to upgrade its servers, Bilibili welcomed its first wave of angel investment, with the funds coming from "Shu Shu" Chen Rui who was currently working at Kingsoft Software.

This guy's story with Bilibili is quite interesting.

He was initially a die-hard user of Bilibili because he liked the anime and the atmosphere of the website and was interested in developing in this direction, so when he communicated with the founder, he finally chose to invest.

At the beginning, Chen Rui did not have any expectations for Bilibili, nor did he expect any return on his investment.

According to an interview with Xu Yi, the founder of Bilibili, because the website was not formal at the time, everyone was more like-minded. Chen Rui gave money at the time and became a formal shareholder only after a long time, but Chen Rui didn't take it seriously.

But as Bilibili developed better and better, Chen Rui attached more and more importance to Bilibili, and in the subsequent rounds of investment, he invested almost all the money he could.

Moreover, after his own project was successfully listed and he achieved a phased success in his career, he resolutely left Kingsoft and officially joined Bilibili to start a business again.

It was also rare for investors to actually participate in the company's operations and even become the core of the company. It was also at this time that Bilibili grew step by step under the leadership of Chen Rui.

At this stage, Chen Rui has already completed the angel round of investment, but is still serving as an executive at Kingsoft, but he is always paying attention to Bilibili.

In fact, Wei Yang had already set his sights on Bilibili, but the reason he did not invest was to wait for Chen Rui to join in. After all, it was impossible for him to manage and develop Bilibili personally. If he wanted to make money, he had to wait for Chen Rui, Bilibili's "true love".

If Chen Rui and Bilibili missed out on an opportunity because of my intervention, that would be ridiculous.

So Wei Yang held back and waited until Chen Rui had invested in the angel round and established a good relationship with the veterans of Bilibili and became interested in the website, and then he chose to enter the A round of investment.

The rate of return is definitely not as high as the angel round, but it is still a huge profit no matter what.

Wei Yang acquired more than 20% of the shares with a big investment. Even if the holdings are diluted and reduced to single digits later, it will still be a huge fortune when the company goes public.

It's not just Bilibili, there are also some companies that Wei Yang has an impression of, especially those in the technology network field, Wei Yang will invest whenever he can, especially in the angel round, where the investment is small and the return is high, and it is a huge profit if he can get one.

Regardless of whether it can survive until the IPO, even if one sells shares and leaves the market, as long as the project is successful, the profit can be at least dozens or even hundreds of times.

If Wei Yang doesn’t want Blue Whale to be too closely involved with the financial capital market, these investments are the real key to his dream of being on the Forbes rich list…
