Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 52 Blind Boxes: A Wonderful Surprise (Please Read On!)

"Ding! Open the blind box!"

"The host will be rewarded with 5% of Silver Wheel shares!"

"It is planned to increase its shareholding in Yinlun Machinery by 4000 million shares, becoming the largest individual shareholder!"

"Holy crap!?"

Xu Mu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Eyes widened!
Holy crap, is this for real?
What about the equity of Yinlun Machinery?

Yinlun Machinery is the only listed company in the entire Tianji County with a market capitalization of over 10 billion yuan!
Are you kidding me?
System, the gift you sent is amazing!

I can't accept this!

This guy was saying he was poor just a second ago!
The next second, Xu Mu was dumbfounded.

Forty million shares is incredibly impressive!
"Brother Mu, what's wrong?"

Hearing Xu Mu suddenly scream, Wang Mengyan, who was leaning against Xu Mu, asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something scary!"

"Go to sleep."

Xu Mu brought his thoughts back to the shares.

Based on Yinlun Machinery's current quarterly revenue of 3.4 billion yuan, its annual revenue can reach 13 billion yuan. Last year, in 2024, its total profit was 890 million yuan. Even if the dividend is only 5%, or the minimum dividend payout ratio of 30%, it would still be more than 10 million yuan!
Moreover, this is a listed company that distributes dividends every year. Last year it was 1 yuan per ten shares, and this year it's 1.2 yuan. According to this distribution, Xu Mu can get another 4 million yuan multiplied by 1.2 yuan, which is 4.8 million yuan!
Even after taxes, it's still a considerable amount of money!

Damn it, take off!
This is way more impressive than Kaiyuan Taihe's equity stake!
It seems the system really wants to make itself the richest person!

Xu Mu is numb!

The money came so fast that Xu Mu felt it was all too real.

Of course, there is another way to get it done in one step: Xu Mu can sell his shares in Yinlun Shares. Based on Yinlun Shares' current revenue of over 100 billion yuan and valuation of 184 billion yuan, Xu Mu can probably get several hundred million yuan.

"The host holds shares that cannot be sold!"

"Grass!"

Upon hearing the system's voice in his mind, Xu Mu couldn't help but curse.

Isn't it cold?
Undeterred, Xu Mu opened Deepseek and entered a question: "If I held 5% of the shares of a listed company with revenue of 130 billion and a market value of 184 billion, how much money could I cash out in one go?"

Deepseek quickly provided its own answer: if the price-to-earnings ratio reaches 20, then under the most ideal circumstances, Xu Mu would have 700 to 800 million after cashing out, and at the very least, 350 to 570 million. Xu Mu knew absolutely nothing about joint-stock listed companies!

But when Xu Mu saw the results from DeepSeek, his eyes turned red!
Hundreds of millions!

The lowest figure of 3.5 million is after deducting personal income tax!
Instant financial freedom!

Let's not talk about whether he's the richest man or not.

Absolutely financial freedom!
It’s hard to resist!

but--

It cannot be sold!!!
My initial excitement was instantly silenced by a single sentence from the system.

It seems... I'll just have to honestly accept the dividends every year!

Xu Mu then inquired about Deepseek's profit-sharing system and learned that it typically yields between 15 and 25 million per year.

If the industry belongs to the consumer energy sector, it may be possible to achieve full profit sharing!
Sigh, never mind, Xu Mu felt increasingly disheartened the more she looked.

There's a big difference between receiving hundreds of millions at once and receiving tens of millions every year.

This is not a concept at all!
However, the system said that shares cannot be sold.

Moreover, this 5% is still the largest individual shareholding in a listed company, unless Xu Mu can continue to acquire shares.

"Sigh, never mind, time to sleep!"

Xu Mu's excitement had worn off, and she went straight to sleep.

Bai was excited!

The system can only give him dividends, not sell his shares, so it's all for nothing!

Xu Mu felt that the shares in Kaiyuan Taihe were too few and had no interest in them, but Yinlun was the only listed company in Tianji County with a value of over 10 billion yuan, so he naturally had the idea of ​​selling it, given its size of over 10 billion yuan.

Regardless of whether it's impressive or not, being a listed company is already quite impressive!

It can only be said that the road to becoming the richest person is long and arduous.

Moreover, Xu Mu's material desires are not that high; a modest life is enough for him.

If Xu Mu really had that much money, she wouldn't know how to spend it.

On the morning of the 29th, Xu Mu received a call from Ye Muling.

"Hey? Sis, are you done with your work?"

When Xu Mu answered the phone, she assumed that Ye Muling must have already taken care of things after leaving the company.

"Yes."

"I reported them for tax and fire safety violations. Did they really think I was easy to talk to at the company? I'm not so easy to talk to when I'm tough! The arbitration not only compensated me with over 100,000 yuan, but the company was also fined 500,000 yuan, the maximum fine!"

Xu Mu's previously drowsy mind immediately cleared up. What kind of company could offer such a large compensation?

A philanthropist?

Aren't they all N+1?
"Why is there so much compensation?"

Ye Muling snorted coldly and explained, "Because that idiot new director leaked the secrets I gave to the company and infringed on my intellectual property rights!"

"Also, the company offered to compensate me, and in the end I received 180,000 yuan."

"I hope I will be lenient!"

"If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place!"

"Holy crap!" Xu Mu couldn't help but curse when he heard Ye Muling's words. "No wonder she's my sister, she's awesome!"

"Now that you're a rich woman, can you treat me to Haidilao hot pot?"

"Isn't Haidilao a piece of cake?" Ye Muling smiled calmly. "I can treat you to Xinrongji without any problem! After all, 180,000 yuan is practically free money!"

"How should I spend this money?"

Ye Muling began to think.

After all, 180,000 was an unexpected windfall.

"Take your time to think about it!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Do you think I should buy a car?"

"Xiaomi seems to be very popular now. With all my compensation money, I can buy the lowest-spec Xiaomi car."

"No." Xu Mu thought about how he had ordered a Xiaomi SU7 Max for Ye Muling. If Ye Muling bought another Xiaomi SU7, wouldn't that be outrageous?

What's the point of having two Xiaomi cars at home?
Moreover, it's better not to buy the low-end version of this car.

"What?"

"If we wait for Xiaomi now, we'll have to wait until next year! Besides, cars depreciate too quickly these days, so let's wait a bit longer..."

"Let's wait and see!" "That's true, making money isn't easy!"

Ye Muling agreed with Xu Mu's words.

"By the way, my high-speed train is about to arrive in Tianji County. Come pick me up later."

"Okay," Xu Mu replied.

He knew that Ye Muling was going back to her hometown, but she would have to wait until she finished her work at her company.

I didn't expect to be busy for so long.

However, losing 180,000 yuan after a month of hard work isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Is my sister coming back?

Wang Mengyan, who was standing next to Xu Mu, looked at him and asked.

"Yes, my sister is back!"

"But I'm really worried now! If I tell her I live in Yangjiashan, I don't know how I'll explain it!"

Xu Mu looked worried. "But you told me to go back to my hometown... I've already moved my computer here, the house is all empty! How do I explain that?"

"You said you won 50 million in the lottery! Is that reasonable?"

Wang Mengyan, with a wild idea in mind, looked at Xu Mu and said.

"Obviously not! There's no news of anyone in Tianji County winning 50 million yuan, and besides, we're just an ordinary family, how could we dare to dream of such a thing?"

"And if I tell my sister about Yangjiashan, where will you two live? She can't accept me doing this..."

Xu Mu was in a real bind.

I'm so worried!

"Sigh, never mind, let's go to the high-speed rail station to pick her up first."

We'll figure out what to do then!

Xu Mu's idea was to delay first.

Let's stall for as long as possible!
If, for example, your turtle farm becomes successful, or your novel becomes popular, then buying a villa in Yangjiashan would be reasonable.

Xu Mu was wondering whether she should spend a lot of money on the marketing of her book.

This would give me a reasonable reason to convince my parents and sister.

After making the decision, Xu Mu drove his Maybach out.

But when Xu Mu saw this Maybach, he thought about it again... Oh well, I'll just drive a Mercedes C-Class.

Maybach is not easy to explain either.

This Mercedes-Benz C-Class can be considered Bao Yong's car.

After all, Bao Yong had also invested in the turtle farm, and Xu Mu had told her parents and Ye Muling that Bao Yong had made money.

It's reasonable to buy a Mercedes-Benz C-Class after making money, right?

Hmm...that makes sense!
After convincing himself, Xu Mu drove Wang Mengyan's Mercedes C-Class to the high-speed rail station.

When Xu Mu arrived at the high-speed rail station, he suddenly discovered that Wang Zhengjian, whom he had met at the Xiaomi car owners' club, was live-streaming at the exit of the high-speed rail station.

In front of him was a Xiaomi car and a Mercedes-Benz AMG GTT two-door, two-seater sports car. Xu Mu had researched this car; it was only worth six or seven hundred thousand yuan used now, not very expensive, but undeniably cool...

Xu Mu really wanted to own this kind of car, but he was currently broke!

I didn't receive any dividends!
He only had about two million in his bank account, and he was extremely poor.

"sister!"

Seeing Ye Muling walk out of the high-speed rail station, Xu Mu waved to her.

Ye Muling looked at Xu Mu driving the new Mercedes with a puzzled expression. After getting into the car, she asked, "Did you buy this?"

"How could that be? Why would I buy this car?"

“It was bought by Boss Bao for his girlfriend, turquoise green with white undergarments!” Xu Mu explained, “Our farm received an investment of 2000 million yuan, and he’s currently busy looking for a site with his girlfriend. Besides, when he heard you were coming today, he asked me to drive over and pick you up.”

Xu Mu's explanation was reasonable, and he had just called Bao Yong to discuss it beforehand.

Even if Ye Muling were to question Bao Yong, she wouldn't give herself away.

When doing things, it's best to be cautious and steady.

"You actually got the investment?"

Ye Muling asked in surprise, "Which boss is blind enough to invest in your turtle farm? Didn't you lose money last year? You're still losing 300,000 yuan. Is he stupid to invest in your project?!"

"Sis, speak properly, we can still be good siblings!" Xu Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Alright! Tell me properly, what's going on?"

"It's Mr. Tang, a shareholder of Kaiyuan Taihe. I did him a small favor when we had dinner together at Kaiyuan Taihe before! So afterwards he invited me for tea and a meal, and that's when he heard about my project..."

"So, after visiting the turtle farm and learning about our project, Mr. Tang felt that this project was worth investing in!"

Xu Mu tilted his head back, proud of the reason he had come up with, "Although we are losing money now, this project is for the long term, okay!"

Reasonable, so reasonable!
I can definitely handle Ye Muling.

Seeing that Ye Muling still looked doubtful, she asked, "Really?"

"Are there still bosses that stupid these days?"

Xu Mu took out a photo of the contract from her phone. "Look, this is a contract in black and white!"

"How could I lie to you!"

"This isn't stupidity; it just shows that this boss has an exceptional eye for investment!"

Since Ye Muling had 180,000 yuan in compensation, plus the royalties he had given her before, Xu Mu immediately suggested, "And since the money hasn't arrived yet, are you interested in investing together? Invest 200,000 yuan, and I'll give you 5% of the shares. You'll get a good amount of dividends every year!"

"We'll take a look later!"

"Damn, you don't trust your own brother?"

"I trust you, but your sister doesn't earn money easily! By the way, have you paid off your debts? If not, I'll give you the money to pay them off, otherwise it'll damage your credit score!"

"It's all paid off," Xu Mu said, shaking his head. "This money was an investment in the turtle farm. I can pay it back directly after I receive the 20 million."

"Instead of paying off my online loans now, you'd be better off investing in a turtle farm! Seriously, stick with it for two or three years, and buying a house and a car won't be a problem!"

"Okay, let's go home first, and you can take me to see it this afternoon!"

"I'll transfer 200,000 yuan to you, consider it an investment in your business!"

To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter whether Xu Mu gives Ye Muling ten percent or five percent, since it's all family money.

Moreover, Ye Muling used to treat her really well, so Xu Mu will definitely want to find a way to repay her now.

With the turtle farm as cover, Xu Mu will have an excuse to send money to Ye Muling.

On the way, Xu Mu sent a WeChat message to his mother, Xu Ping, "Mom, I've picked up my sister."
