Back to eighteen, if I don't stand up, I'll be wasted

Chapter 186 Zheng Manyue’s Hard Work Fee

Li Yi was not in a hurry to read the contract because it was meaningless.

Jiang Minghui has no relationship with him, so why would he transfer his shares for just one dollar?
Either buy it at a normal price or exchange it for resources. Anything else is not in compliance with the regulations and Jiang Minghui can take it back at any time.

"Mr. Jiang, let's put all this aside for now. Are you interested in listing Dingsen Group?"

"Hmm? Going public? I'm afraid there is no entrepreneur who doesn't want to go public, right?" Going public means having an additional and powerful means of financing.

If you really have no money, you can issue additional shares, cash out, or use other financial methods.

But for Jiang Minghui, it was too difficult.

First of all, Dingsen Group cannot make a profit.

Secondly, the scale is just barely enough.

Last but not least, he has no one to rely on.

He does have connections in the county, but who knows him outside the county?
Going public means facing major capitals from all over the country. First of all, there needs to be institutions willing to underwrite. Without the support of those institutions, the stock price will plummet after listing.

There is also the IPO channel, which he does not have, so he can only do it bit by bit. It is normal for it to be delayed for three to five years, or even seven to eight years.

The pig market has its own cycles, and with all the conditions at hand, it would be more difficult for Dingsen Group to go public than to obtain Buddhist scriptures from the West.

Even if it goes public, it will have to give up a large part of the profits. After all, those institutions that help support the stock price will definitely get a piece of the pie, and he can only drink the soup.

Once the market is bad, or the company is targeted and suffers losses for several consecutive years, it will first be ST, and if the stock price continues to fall below one yuan, it will face delisting.

When Li Yi heard this, he said, "In that case, Ri Ri Xiang and I can invest in Dingsen Group."

Li Yi also knew that it was difficult to go public, and even Yu Mancang’s channels were not enough to guarantee an IPO.

But he can use a shell company!

There are too many shell resources in the A-share market. Basically, you only need 300 million yuan to get a shell resource and go public through a backdoor listing, which can save a lot of time.

Even if many listed companies have their IPOs approved, they will still be delayed for a long time and need to find an institution to underwrite them. If no institution is willing to take them over, they have to keep waiting.

Going public through a backdoor listing avoids this step.

Li Yi only wants to make money and has no interest in controlling Ri Ri Xiang or Dingsen Group.

In this kind of industry, profits are quite limited, and hype is the key.

"Okay, but I'll consider this 50% stake as being sold to you personally," Jiang Minghui insisted.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, do you feel embarrassed that I helped you? Actually, Jiang Li also helped me. We had a debt, and this just offsets it. Since we want to cooperate, let's go through the formal process. Ri Ri Xiang wants 20% of the equity, and I also want 20%. The specific price can be discussed slowly after the new year. There's no need to rush."

Anyway, Dingsen Group now has a large amount of foreign debt, and it is impossible to make major changes in just two months, which will have little impact on the final transaction price.

Li Yi didn't want to take too much, as too much would be a burden.

The more equity you own, the greater the restrictions.

For example, small and medium-sized shareholders can unblock more than half of their shares one year after listing, while large shareholders need to wait for more than three years before they can gradually unblock their shares. The unblocking ratio is still very low, often only one-third or one-quarter.

It often takes more than ten years to fully cash out.

Li Yi didn't say that Jiang Li had already paid the money. Jiang Minghui must know that Jiang Li had no money. How could he pay without money?

It's obvious that you think of him in a wrong way.

Jiang Minghui was ready to get to the bottom of it, "I wonder how Li Li helped Mr. Li?"

"This is a secret between us. It involves some things that happened after our college entrance examination. In short, it's emotional... Without her, I wouldn't be where I am now. Mr. Jiang, please believe that I definitely benefited from this."

"So what is your relationship now?"

"A friend, a very good friend. Actually, I've always regretted not being able to date Jiang Li. I confessed my feelings several times and was rejected. Now I have a girlfriend and we're planning to get married."

After Li Yi said this, it gave Jiang Minghui a reassurance.

only friends?

That’s easy, very easy.

Li Yi even frankly admitted that he has a girlfriend now. Even if he and Jiang Li rekindle their old relationship in the future, he has to break up with his current girlfriend before he can tell her, right?
Ah, very good!

Whatever he wanted to do, he has already done.

What he feared most was that Li Yi was using the offer of help to manipulate his daughter's feelings.

He knew his daughter's character very well.

The current result is good for both parties.

He had already prepared to sacrifice the Dingsen Group. He could totally accept being able to land safely and not owe anyone any favors.

But I didn’t expect that Li Yi had other ideas.

If you want to go public, expanding production is imperative.

At least the current size needs to be doubled.

He has a mature structure, so doubling the production capacity is not a problem. However, he certainly cannot do five or six times the production capacity at the moment.

It’s just like opening a store. Once the business of one store is stable, you can open another one with confidence.

But opening seven or eight stores in a short period of time would increase the difficulty exponentially.

Li Yi's idea is to double the production capacity within a year and reach an output of 300,000 heads.

Moreover, Ririxiang can eat all of this output.

He just needs to make preparations, and Ririxiang will receive funds after the new year.

He reviewed Li Yi's company and found that the growth rate was extremely terrifying. It was hard to imagine that this was something a young man could control.

Li Yi's companies are running simultaneously, and they are always well organized and can even expand. The main reason is... he has digitized all the work.

The takeaway store owner platform will record the daily order volume and all funds will be managed in a unified manner. When the time comes, the store owners can apply for their own dividends, just like paying wages.

He reduced the power of management, and the so-called management became more like people doing work.

Funds and other matters are completely reviewed by the system.

……

"I met a few young ladies and want to join Wuyou Media. Is the company still hiring?" Xia Panpan found Li Yi.

"Yes, the boss told me that Wuyou Media will definitely expand in scale, and he will give you some power in a while."

"Well, what power?"

"The power to sign contracts directly. My boss mentioned this to me a couple of days ago, and I suggested we group the existing influencers we've signed. For example, if you're not only a contracted influencer but also the editor-in-chief of a group, the company will give you a monthly contract quota of 5 yuan, which you can use to sign new people in the market. If the influencer contract you signed generates revenue, you'll receive 1% of the profits in the first three years, and % after that.

The more you sign, and the more popular the influencers you sign, the more money you will make, and you can even make money continuously...

However, it's not just your team that's going to be promoted to editor-in-chief. Yang Ruoxue's team is also going to be promoted to editor-in-chief, and even Liu Meng's team may be promoted to editor-in-chief... At the beginning, everyone's contract amount will be similar. As others do well, the contract amount will increase, forming a virtuous cycle..."

This was a change Li Yi had thought of a long time ago.

Internet celebrity companies are different from others. They need to take the initiative and recruit people from the market.

In the future, each group will exist independently, and whoever's group is stronger will earn more.

Xia Panpan didn't quite understand for a moment and asked, "Then do you think I should do it? Actually, I'm quite satisfied with my current life..."

Li Yi: "Please, you earn hundreds of thousands every month, how much money do you have in your card now?"

"Well... I don't have money! Can't I just earn a few more months? I recently saw a house that only costs two million, and I plan to buy it after the new year!" Xia Panpan's eyes lit up when she talked about the house.

"A two million dollar house?"

"Yes, Lijing Garden." "Those are all large flats, over 200 square meters!"

"Yeah, anyway, I just need to work hard for seven or eight months, and that'll be enough. With you here, I can still be popular for another seven or eight months, right?"

Li Yi: “…”

She can become popular, but Xia Panpan is indeed too cruel.

Li Yi has never thought about buying a house, even though he knows that the housing prices in Yunzhou will rise a lot in the next few years.

For example, the house Xia Panpan bought could be worth nearly six million in six or seven years...

Even after more than ten years, the value will still be around four million. It will definitely not be a loss if you buy it now.

"Don't you really want to plan carefully? Like, buy a smaller house, save some money? Do some financial management?"

Xia Panpan smiled and said, "No, can you help me?"

"No help!"

"That's all! I'll sell my house and car, and when I make more money, I'll buy jewelry and bags and enjoy life."

"Aren't you afraid that no one will look at you in the future?"

Xia Panpan came close to Li Yi and asked, "Will you still look at me?"

Li Yi subconsciously looked down. It was a cold day, but Xia Panpan was still wearing nothing underneath and just a mink coat on the outside.

It is called convenient shooting.

"I don't like old women!"

Li Yi turned his head and said something.

Xia Panpan laughed. "What's the big deal about old or not? No matter how old I am, I can't be that old, right? The most important thing is to spend money, understand? When I get the group up and running, the previous contract will no longer be my main source of income. I'll reward you handsomely."

It’s not that Xia Panpan has never had feelings for Li Yi. On the contrary, she has always had them.

But now, in order to make money, and because Li Yi is not very proactive, she is more restrained.

When the day comes that she no longer needs to rely on signing contracts to make money, she will take down the little Li Yi by force.

If you don’t sleep with such a handsome guy in this life, you’ll have lived in vain.

Seeing handsome guys like Li Yi every day, she now has almost no interest in other men.

I used to be able to immerse myself in idol dramas, but now when I look at the male protagonists in those idol dramas, I find them all unbearable to watch.

"Wait until you can get the group off the ground. It's not that easy! After signing up influencers, you need to tailor their personas and attract traffic..."

"Yeah, yeah, if you teach me...teach me, I'll pick out a few more pretty ones and reward you with one."

"Get lost! It's illegal, understand?"

"Hey, I didn't say I was rewarding you with anything. Is it illegal to reward you with a meal?"

Li Yi: “…”

"Haha, I was just kidding. I'm just giving you a few bites as a reward... I've been craving this for a long time..."

……

Xia Panpan was right, age was not the problem at all, the issue was whether one was willing to spend money.

Besides, Xia Panpan is not very old, even a few years younger than Zheng Manyue.

She will still be young for many years to come.

In essence, this is the embodiment of power.

Because Li Yi was also handsome in his previous life, but there were almost no women who were really willing to pay for him.

On the surface, Li Yi does not make much money, and Xia Panpan does not know that Li Yi is the boss of the company, but Li Yi does have a lot of say in the company.

As a big internet celebrity who earns hundreds of thousands of yuan a month in the company, she is essentially managed by Li Yi.

Power has nothing to do with how much money you make, but everything you control.

If it weren't for this blessing, even if Xia Panpan liked Li Yi's type, she wouldn't be so proactive.

At night, Li Yi thought a lot.

He knew that the path he had taken in his life was absolutely correct.

If he can have it, he will definitely take it!

Regardless of the consequences...

Even if it ends up in chaos, as long as he gets it, it's right for him.

He would not feel guilty about these actions, even if others called him a worthless person.

……

In December, all projects were progressing smoothly.

After Ririxiang launched its pre-made pastries, relying on its previous takeaway stores, it captured a large market share in a very short period of time.

The power of prefabrication is too great, and the cost is pitifully low.

In addition, Li Yi came up with a series of strange names, and pre-made small cakes have become a fashionable item in the minds of young people.

A fist-sized cake costs only six dollars.

The birthday cake is extremely delicious and has a perfect shape. A six-inch one costs only over 30 yuan, and an eight-inch one costs only over 50 yuan.

There are also various bread and egg tarts.

The pre-production of pastries has become the most profitable point for RiRiXiang.

The vegetarian pre-production project that Li Yi had envisioned was also being further developed...

After Ririxiang expanded its production, its capacity was quickly filled to capacity, and a new round of production expansion is also ongoing.

Yu Mancang has only received 60 million yuan in loans so far, which is definitely not enough.

Li Yi didn't know how much of the remaining funds would be deposited into his account, but he would use whatever he had. If he ran out of money, he would raise funds...

After the end of December, the 12th takeaway store officially opened, and Li Yi also ushered in the exam month.

The last month of college is basically filled with various exams.

Some courses are only eight weeks long, while others are longer, up to twelve or thirteen weeks.

For those courses that ended long ago, the exam content had already been prepared, and the exam would begin when other courses were almost finished.

For college students, exam month is the most painful. They are worried every day because after finishing one exam, there is another one.

Even if you are a top student, you still have to consider the various scholarship situations and dare not be careless at all.

"Teacher Zheng, I have an exam tomorrow...Biochemistry..."

"Well, I know that teacher. I'll talk to him after the test... But you can't hand in a blank paper, or you won't be able to give him a grade."

"No problem! I'll go to sleep then."

"No! I just said you can't hand in a blank paper!"

"Ok?"

"Just consider it... as my hard work fee..."
