I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 231 230. Give Jiang Chen another share? Lend me some ink?
Many people have been paying attention to Jiang Chen’s live broadcast room!

Li Yumin sat in the office, using a tablet computer to play Jiang Chen's live broadcast. He would take a look from time to time, keeping an eye on the number of Jiang Chen's online users and the duration of Jiang Chen's live broadcast.

after all!

The contract stipulates that if a live broadcast exceeds half an hour, the full per capita fee will be calculated.

Therefore, the longer a live broadcast lasts, the more money the platform will make, as it can maintain ultra-high online traffic for a longer period of time with the same head fee.

buzzing...

Li Yumin's phone rang. Seeing that it was Mr. Zhang calling, he quickly answered the call: "Mr. Zhang, I'm watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast room."

Mr. Zhang: "I've watched it for a while too. He's been live streaming for the whole morning. How's the online traffic?"

Li Yumin: "It peaked at around 20 million, but has now fallen back a bit and stabilized at around 16 million, which has increased the overall traffic on our platform by about 20% compared to usual."

The scale of DouYue Live is far greater than that of Penguin Live. When Jiang Chen was on Penguin Live, his traffic accounted for more than 80% of the platform, but now on DouYue Live, it only accounts for about 20%.

Mr. Zhang: "If the live broadcast is like this today, I will be happy to give money!"

Li Yumin smiled after hearing this. He knew what Mr. Zhang meant was that the longer Jiang Chen’s live broadcast was, the higher the platform’s long-term average traffic would be, which would be beneficial to the platform’s valuation.

"I know that, but Jiang Chen can't be controlled or influenced."

Li Yumin said helplessly.

Mr. Zhang: "Well, I know, I just want to inform you. I met with several investors today, and the valuations they gave have increased to varying degrees. If Jiang Chen can continue to increase the traffic to the platform in the next few days, then I can get the investment within a week, and the valuation is expected to be around 50 billion!"

"Once it goes public, the market value is conservatively estimated to be over 100 billion! The value of the option rewards you hold will also increase significantly."

After hearing this, Li Yumin's breathing quickened a little. He also holds about 3% of the options. If the company goes public successfully and the market value exceeds 100 billion, then the 3% of the options in his hand will be worth 3 billion. For a working man, this is definitely a wave of wealth, and he will be able to cross the class and move from the working circle to the capital circle.

Li Yumin thought about it quickly and said, "Mr. Zhang, if Jiang Chen broadcasts live frequently, our financial resources may not be able to keep up!"

No one can afford to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on personnel expenses every day.

Mr. Zhang immediately said, "Don't worry about that. You can first borrow money from the group and repay it when the financing arrives. Then we will operate to go public within half a year."

Li Yumin: "Mr. Zhang, can I give Jiang Chen some stock options as a reward?"

Mr. Zhang: "Hasn't it already given 5% of the equity?"

Li Yumin: "But if we want Jiang Chen to do more live broadcasts, we need some incentives. Our financial resources have been stretched to their limit, and we can't increase the per capita fee. We can only use some of the option pool to provide some incentives."

Mr. Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but you can only give three more points at most. No more than that. Adding his five points, I will have eight points of equity, which means I will almost become the second largest shareholder."

After several rounds of financing, the equity of DouYue Live has become very dispersed. Except for the group headquarters holding 60% of the shares, the rest of the capital is scattered, with the maximum being more than ten percent and the minimum being around one percent!

Jiang Chen directly obtained 5 percentage points of shares, which has enabled him to rank among the top five in DouYue Live Capital.

If Jiang Chen is given another three points, he will become the third largest shareholder.

If the company goes public successfully and its market value reaches hundreds of billions, Jiang Chen's eight points of shares alone will be worth more than 10 billion.

Add to that the 100 live broadcasts that Jiang Chen signed a contract for, with an average per-live fee of 200 million, that would be 20 billion, plus the more than 10 billion in stock value.

The cost of signing Jiang Chen with DouYue Live reached a terrifying 30 to 40 billion!

Mr. Zhang suddenly felt again that he was working for Jiang Chen again.

The group headquarters only owns 60% of the shares of DouYue Live. After this round of dilution, there is only a little more than 50% left. After further dilution after the listing, it will be less than 50%. Even if the market value is 100 billion, it is only worth 40 to 50 billion, not much more than the 30 to 40 billion that Jiang Chen got!
Mr. Zhang was silent for a moment, thinking that if Jiang Chen had not joined, the valuation of this round of financing would have been just over 30 billion, and the market value after listing would have been only 50 to 60 billion, and the shares of the group headquarters would have been worth 20 to 30 billion by then.

By this calculation, the group headquarters still earned twice as much from the stock price, which is worth two or three hundred billion!
It seems like they are making a lot of money!

only……

As a capitalist, Mr. Zhang felt uncomfortable when he thought about Jiang Chen transferring 30 to 40 billion yuan from him.

As the saying goes, for capital, if you earn less, you lose money.

This is just the value that Jiang Chen took from the DouYue platform. If the income from audience tips Jiang Chen received is included, then after these 100 live broadcasts, Jiang Chen’s total income will reach 50 to 60 billion, which is almost equivalent to the value obtained by the group headquarters.

This……

Mr. Zhang sighed, thinking of the works written by Jiang Chen and the stunning beauty of Jiang Chen's calligraphy, he comforted himself in his heart - such a talented Jiang Chen should make a lot of money.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I will discuss this with Jiang Chen."

Li Yumin felt relieved.

With the group backing him up, he dared to let Jiang Chen broadcast two shows every day.

Mr. Zhang: "Okay, let me know if you have any news."

Li Yumin: “Okay!”

hang up the phone!

Li Yumin was about to call Jiang Chen directly, but when he remembered that Jiang Chen was currently broadcasting live, he put down the phone and looked at the live broadcast screen.

Jiang Chen, Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Wang Jing, and Li Wen all entered Han Qing's home. Han Qing helped her parents to entertain Jiang Chen and the others.

Han Qing's house is not big, with three bedrooms of more than 100 square meters, but it has an excellent location. It can see Yueyang Tower and faces Dongting Lake directly. It is a real view room.

Dad Han is also a man of taste. On the balcony facing Dongting Lake, there is a tea table, a rocking chair, and a desk. On the desk are some pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Occasionally, he would drink tea and write while looking at Dongting Lake.

Han Qing saw Jiang Chen looking at the viewing balcony and saw his father's things. She said with a little pride: "My dad also graduated from a key university. He was originally from the countryside and became famous. He also wrote some essays and poetry collections before!"

When Han's father heard his daughter praising him in front of Jiang Chen, he waved his hands hastily, his face flushed, "Don't, you're embarrassing me by saying these things in front of Jiang Chen, go help your mother cook."

Han's father was not the first audience to watch Jiang Chen's live broadcast. He started watching it after Jiang Chen's live broadcast became popular for more than ten days. At that time, he was also amazed. He admired Jiang Chen's poems and calligraphy from the bottom of his heart. He also copied some of Jiang Chen's poems in private and smiled at Jiang Chen: "Don't stop talking nonsense, Xiao Qingzi, I just wrote them randomly."

Jiang Chen looked at the words written by Han's father and said with a smile: "Uncle's calligraphy is also quite good. He must have started practicing when he was young, right?"

Father Han nodded: "When we were in school, we all had to write well. Basically, we all practiced calligraphy, but some of us only tried it briefly. I persisted for decades."

Jiang Chen nodded, feeling a little impressed.

Being able to stick to something for decades definitely requires great perseverance.

This was also true for college students decades ago. Most of them could write beautiful handwriting, because back then, handwriting reflected one's personality, and they had to write everything themselves. Unlike today when we have printers and can just type on a keyboard, back then they had to write every stroke themselves. If your handwriting was ugly, others would look down on you. If your handwriting was beautiful, others would look up to you.

Father Han smiled sheepishly and continued, "But it certainly can't compare to your calligraphy!"

Jiang Chen smiled but didn't say anything. It would be hypocritical for him to continue praising the other party at this time, because Han's father's calligraphy was indeed a world apart from his own, or even more different than worlds apart.

However, Jiang Chen knew his own affairs. It was the blessing of the system, not the result of practicing stroke by stroke. Therefore, he admired Han's father who had really persisted in practicing calligraphy for decades. However, hard work determines the lower limit, and talent determines the upper limit.

With such talent, no matter how hard you work, you can only realize your talent to the maximum extent possible. Once you reach the upper limit of your talent, it will be difficult to make any further progress.

This is the case with Han's father. He has reached the limit of his talent and is stuck at the threshold of becoming a calligraphy master. It will be difficult for him to make any breakthroughs in this lifetime.

Father Han looked at Jiang Chen and saw that he was very low-key, not overbearing or conceited. He admired Jiang Chen even more.

He studied liberal arts and worked in cultural and educational fields, so he knew Jiang Chen's achievements very well.

For a person like Jiang Chen, no matter how arrogant or conceited he is, it is not an exaggeration.

because……

No one in history has ever achieved such an achievement.

However, Jiang Chen behaved very low-key and modest. Han's father admired him in his heart and looked at his daughter, wondering whether his daughter was lucky or unlucky to meet Jiang Chen.

If I could spend my whole life with Jiang Chen, I would be lucky.

It would be unfortunate if I couldn't be with Jiang Chen in the future.

because……

He believed that after his daughter had been with Jiang Chen for some time, she would never be able to walk out of Jiang Chen's shadow in this life, and there was a high probability that she would end up living alone.

He looked at Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Wang Jing, and Li Wen, all of whom went to the kitchen to help with cooking. Dad Han sighed again.

Although he believed that his daughter was extremely outstanding, she really had no advantage in front of these people.

Especially Yan Ruyu, who is really like a fairy, with excellent temperament and all aspects. She is almost a perfect character, as if she does not exist in reality and is the perfect heroine who only appears in Mary Sue novels.

of course……

He looked at Jiang Chen and knew that with Jiang Chen's talent and ability, he could achieve a perfect existence that many Mary Sue female novels could not even imagine.

Dad Han just felt that he was too ordinary.

The live broadcast room was still open, and Han Qing didn't mind letting the audience see her home and the details of eating with her family. This might give everyone a fixed impression - Jiang Chen had been to Han Qing's home and was recognized by Han Qing's parents!

Jiang Chen and Han's father sat at the tea table on the balcony, drinking tea and chatting.

The number of viewers in the live broadcast room remains at more than 16 million.

With so many people watching Jiang Chen chatting with Han's father and watching Yan Ruyu, Han Qing and others cooking, it seemed like a kind of enjoyment. The barrage of comments and reward messages never stopped.

"Han Qing's family is also a family of scholars. Uncle Han's calligraphy is definitely extraordinary. If it weren't for Jiang Chen, Uncle Han's calligraphy would still be among the best."

"There is no ordinary person around Jiang Chen."

"Uncle Han is very well-mannered in his conversation, but he acts like a little fanboy in front of Jiang Chen. It's funny."

"People in the traditional cultural circle act like little fans in front of Jiang Chen. The top professors and experts from several prestigious universities are all the same. Think about the calligraphy and ancient poems used for rewards and punishments. It's like the great writers of the Tang and Song dynasties are no better than this."

"Han Qing's house has a great view, and the house price is not low."

"It's lunch time. Jiang Chen has already eaten, so I'm going to eat too!"

"Wow, I finally got the feeling I had before. I've been watching Jiang Chen's live broadcast all morning. It feels great."

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat..."

……

quickly!

The kitchen is almost done.

Fortunately, the kitchen is not small, otherwise so many people wouldn’t be able to fit in.

That is, Han Ma, Han Qing, Yan Ruyu and Chen Xiaojia were busy inside. They knew how to cook. Pu Yuexi, Wang Jing and Li Wen were helping to serve the dishes outside.

A table full of food was ready very quickly.

They are all typical home-cooked dishes.

Knowing that Jiang Chen eats light food, the dishes he cooks are all light in taste.

Although!

Jiang Chen is from Sichuan, and Han Qing's family is from southern Hunan, so they both should love spicy food.

However, now the food on the table is very light.

Dad Han quickly invited Jiang Chen to join the dinner and wanted Jiang Chen to sit at the main seat. Jiang Chen quickly declined and let Dad Han sit at the main seat while he sat at the lower seat.

Mother Han didn't say much, just asked Jiang Chen to eat more. The look in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Chen was the look of a real mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looked, the more she liked him.

He is talented, rich, handsome and has an outstanding temperament. I can hardly even imagine having such a son-in-law.

She looked at her daughter again, then saw Yan Ruyu, Chen Xiaojia, Pu Yuexi and others, and sighed helplessly again.

A table of food.

Jiang Chen didn't even have the chance to pick out the food, as Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, and Han's mother helped him fill up the bowl with rice. He barely finished it, eating a little more than usual.

Jiang Chen was afraid that eating too much would affect the system's health evaluation, so he stood up quickly and said, "No more, you guys eat!"

Then, Jiang Chen came to the balcony and took a slow walk, just as an exercise after dinner.

Jiang Chen finished eating, and naturally everyone else quickly finished eating as well and started to clean up the dishes.

Dad Han came to the tea table again and made a cup of tea for Jiang Chen: "Haha, I sit here and watch after dinner every day."

Jiang Chen looked at the Yueyang Tower not far away and the sparkling Dongting Lake in front of him. His heart moved slightly and he said, "Uncle Han, can you lend me a pen and ink?"

Father Han paused while pouring tea, spilled some of the tea, quickly put it away, stood up and said excitedly, "Do you have an idea?"

He is almost a little fan of Jiang Chen. When Dad Han heard that Jiang Chen had inspiration to write something, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

When Han Qing, Yan Ruyu and others heard Jiang Chen's words, they hurriedly started to get things for Jiang Chen.

The live broadcast room also became lively at this time.
