Chapter 192 Golden Years
Carefree days always fly by. [New 60 Bookstore → Google Search Reading]
Ye Jinyan can be said to have succeeded, or he can be said to have failed.
Ye Jinyan's real estate platform successfully listed on the Nasdaq in the United States, and its market value once surpassed that of Haotuan. Unfortunately, it fell below the issue price on the first day of listing.
But bad news followed.
With the birth rate declining year by year, the government has tightened its control over the real estate industry. Even state-owned enterprises have intervened directly, making the real estate business increasingly difficult.
The stock price plummeted, directly impacting investor confidence. Amidst a severe decline in website performance, it was also attacked by Muddy Waters, a well-known American short-selling firm.
Although Ye Jinyan immediately issued a public clarification and severely criticized Muddy Waters, as an internet company primarily engaged in real estate information brokerage, its market performance is closely related to the state of the real estate market.
When the real estate industry bids farewell to its era of high growth, it also bids farewell to its golden age.
Ye Jinyan was extremely worried about the stock price, because the website's market value had suddenly evaporated by 80% compared to its peak, which was really painful.
Ye Jinyan also paid the price for his blind expansion. He was forced to implement a strategic contraction. In just one quarter, he personally closed thousands of offline stores and laid off tens of thousands of agents.
However, all of this is no longer relevant to Li Haoyu.
He cashed out and left the market at the peak of the stock price.
Li Haoyu also invested his funds in new energy vehicles and short video platforms.
His funds have now multiplied many times over.
The development of Haotuan is in full swing. The name Haotuan is no longer just a name; it is more like a brand.
Haotuan has fully entered the public eye, achieving remarkable results in various sectors including in-store dining, home delivery, hotel travel, and bike sharing.
It also competes with Ali Group and Tengda Group in community group buying and social e-commerce.
HaoTuan, a super conglomerate with a market capitalization already exceeding hundreds of billions of US dollars, has established itself as a rival to two established internet companies. Li Haoyu himself has also become a strong contender for the title of China's richest man…
In fact, Li Haoyu's capital empire is far more than what the outside world sees. Li Haoyu has also quietly invested in many industries abroad, and even invested in many real businesses.
His actual wealth has reached an astonishing level.
In fact, several years ago, Li Haoyu's wealth frequently made headlines. He was dubbed the "Nation's Husband" on several occasions and hailed as a highly eligible bachelor among entrepreneurs.
Countless female celebrities have their eyes on him, but Li Haoyu has never given them the chance to succeed; at most, they just play along.
However, Li Haoyu understood a principle: the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. He had long ago lured his wealth underground by establishing funds and various shareholding arrangements.
He was too eye-catching and too much of a sensation.
Li Haoyu also disliked being exposed to countless eyes.
He can do whatever he wants without being rushed. ♡💗 ❻❾s𝓗𝕦𝔵.ςO𝐦 🏆💎 He doesn't need to worry about progress or results, and can stop and rest anytime.
Isn't this life wonderful?
Of course, Li Haoyu was accompanied by Yuan Yuan, Jiang Nansun, and Zhu Suosuo.
After a period of hard work, Zhu Suosuo gave birth to a daughter for Li Haoyu, and Yuan Yuan also gave birth to a son for Li Haoyu.
Now Li Haoyu has both a son and a daughter.
On the contrary, Jiang Nansun's belly remained still empty.
To be honest, Li Haoyu never showed favoritism.
He even showed Jiang Nansun a lot of favoritism, which greatly worried Jiang Nansun. Seeing that Yuan Yuan and Zhu Suosuo had children one after another, and with Jiang's mother nagging her every day.
She wouldn't admit it, but she was already getting anxious inside.
This also made the usually shy Jiang Nansun more proactive.
In order to have a child, she no longer cared about being shy.
.........
The Bund, Tangcheng No. 1 Villa Community.
Li Haoyu lay on the sofa in the living room, watching TV to pass the time. Jiang Nansun, wearing a red silk nightgown, came down from the bedroom on the second floor.
Li Haoyu's eyes widened when he saw Jiang Nansun dressed like this.
"Nan Sun, what brings you here?"
Li Haoyu was quite surprised to see Jiang Nansun act like this.
Yuan Yuan and Zhu Suosuo have both just given birth, so Li Haoyu has been spending a lot of time with Jiang Nansun lately.
Zhu Suosuo and Yuan Yuan had no complaints about this. Firstly, both women respected Jiang Nansun's position as the eldest sister, and secondly, they had focused their energy on their children since they had children.
They didn't care about Li Haoyu at all.
"I came to keep you company, why are you still talking so much!"
As Jiang Nansun spoke, she pulled down her nightgown, making her look even more alluring.
Li Haoyu put down the remote control, straightened up, and made it more comfortable for Jiang Nansun to lean against him.
"Honey, what are you spacing out about?"
Noticing that Li Haoyu seemed a little distracted, Jiang Nansun asked softly.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking how lucky I am to have met you all."
Li Haoyu smiled at Jiang Nansun.
He has learned to let go and is no longer so arrogant.
He had become too arrogant, thinking he could fight both Ali and Tengda Group simultaneously. The result, needless to say, was that Li Haoyu suffered a crushing defeat.
He also realized: Even with vast fields, one can only eat a pint of rice a day; even with a thousand mansions, one can only sleep in eight feet of space at night. He still needed to retain a greater sense of awe.
He is now one of the world's richest people.
What's the use of having more money if you can't spend it all anyway!
Jiang Nansun peeled a grape and fed it to Li Haoyu, interrupting Li Haoyu's thoughts. ♝☝ 69ѕ𝔥𝓤Ж.ςⓄⓜ 🐒🍟
Are the grapes sweet?
Jiang Nansun's voice was still as melodious and pleasant as ever, and it sounded even more moving at this moment.
Li Haoyu's eyes were half-closed as he enjoyed Jiang Nansun's massage.
He was quite happy at this moment, "How could food fed by my wife not taste good?"
Jiang Nansun poked Li Haoyu's head, "It's past its season now, the taste is barely acceptable at best, how can it still taste so good? You're still so sweet-talking."
Li Haoyu said with a grin, "It tastes better when you feed it to me yourself."
Jiang Nansun and Li Haoyu have been together for so long.
I understood that instantly.
Her little eyes darted around, and she gently bit her lip. "Do you really like it? Then what are you waiting for?"
Jiang Nansun rarely takes this initiative.
But today is a good day.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have dressed like that and come down to find Li Haoyu.
Isn't this just blatantly throwing lambs to the slaughter?
Li Haoyu also understood Jiang Nansun's little scheme.
She's someone who's very concerned about saving face.
So Li Haoyu took Jiang Nansun's hand and gently kissed her, saying, "I'm truly head over heels in love with you, so what are we waiting for?"
Jiang Nansun couldn't help but smile slightly.
The warm lighting, combined with her shy expression, instantly captivated Li Haoyu, leaving him mesmerized.
Li Haoyu was also reminded of the past. He lay on Jiang Nansun's lap and recalled, "Do you remember the first time I saw you? At that time, I thought that this girl must be my woman."
Jiang Nansun was overjoyed to hear this.
She said, "The first time you met me... I mistook you for a thief."
Li Haoyu said, "Yes, but where can you find such a handsome and dashing thief?"
Li Haoyu also had a deep impression of her; he couldn't forget the girl who had captivated him at first sight. It really seemed like fate; he hadn't intentionally sought out Jiang Nansun at the time.
But just like that, they bumped into each other. It was like a coincidence from an idol drama. At that time, Jiang Nansun was a rich young lady, while Li Haoyu was just a young man who had just earned his first pot of gold.
Fate is truly a wonderful thing!
Jiang Nansun became interested and pinched Li Haoyu's ear, saying, "And then, what were your thoughts when you first met him?"
Li Haoyu said seriously, "Of course I want to possess you. Isn't that what all men think when they see a pretty girl?"
"Tch," Jiang Nansun scoffed.
"So my first impression was right. No wonder you looked shifty back then."
Li Haoyu, however, disagreed, saying, "Whether it's teenage boys, young men in their twenties, or uncles in their thirties to fifties, they all prefer girls in their early twenties!"
"Does this have anything to do with whether someone is a good person or not?"
Jiang Nansun stared at him with wide eyes.
In the end, he shook his head helplessly.
"Anything else?"
"You don't just want to sleep with me, do you?"
Li Haoyu wasn't always so frivolous. "Appearance is definitely a stepping stone, making me want to get to know you."
"Although I had earned my first pot of gold back then, I was still essentially a kid."
"A little kid?"
Jiang Nansun said with some doubt.
"It's basically that young boys are prone to either being overconfident or overly insecure; it's not a good thing."
"Oh, I see."
Jiang Nansun nodded thoughtfully.
Li Haoyu continued, recalling, "I still remember when you were there, with your long, flowing hair and wearing a white dress, looking at me. I knew then that you were my goddess, and I was determined to win you over."
It was rare to hear Li Haoyu praise her so seriously, and Jiang Nansun was quite happy. Youth is indeed a wonderful time, and the carefree emotions of that period are the purest.
"Back then, I was thinking, I wonder when I could make her my woman."
Li Haoyu was still reminiscing.
Jiang Nansun suddenly cupped his face and kissed him deeply.
Li Haoyu felt a sudden fragrance waft over, along with endless affection gently falling.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
The kiss seemed to have a slightly sweet taste.
Li Haoyu held her tightly, wishing he could never let go.
Neither of them moved an inch, not even the slightest movement.
Everyone was immersed in this warm embrace.
However, perhaps Jiang Nansun hugged him too tightly.
This made Li Haoyu's body go numb.
Jiang Nansun looked happy. "There's nothing I wouldn't dare to do. Even back then, I would have been willing to be your friend."
Li Haoyu was instantly captivated by Jiang Nansun's profile when he saw her.
Only then did he realize what it meant to be naturally beautiful.
"It's getting late, and we've recalled most of what's been said. Honey, shouldn't we get down to business?"
Jiang Nansun's eyes darted around. "I'm just waiting for you to carry me upstairs."
Li Haoyu crossed his arms, dismissing her little tricks with disdain.
Seeing this, Jiang Nansun continued his offensive, saying with a grin, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get moving!"
This time, Li Haoyu really couldn't hold on any longer.
He was too lazy to go upstairs.
He pounced on it.
……
I don't know if it was because I was emotionally charged.
It seems that Jiang Nansun's prediction of the date was indeed accurate.
A few days later, Jiang Nansun also became pregnant.
This made Jiang Nansun and Li Haoyu extremely happy.
Meanwhile, Li Haoyu was secretly preparing for a wedding, intending to give Jiang Nansun, Yuan Yuan, and Zhu Suosuo an explanation.
Even though we have kids now, so what?
No girl doesn't dream of a fairytale wedding. Li Haoyu chose Ireland as the wedding location, a country where divorce is illegal—a beautiful sentiment.
After all, holding such a grand ceremony in China would be quite inappropriate. But abroad, with the emperor far away, no one can interfere. Besides, foreign countries are so open-minded; some people even marry body pillows.
Li Haoyu was simply having a ceremony with several girls at once:
It seems the problem isn't so big anymore.
However, Li Haoyu only invited a small number of relatives and friends this time.
The entire journey was conducted by private jet to avoid external interference.
Even the red wine served at the wedding banquet was Li Haoyu's prized 82 Lafite. This wasn't the kind readily available on the market; it was one Li Haoyu had acquired at a French auction long ago.
These two large boxes were originally intended as an investment to stockpile goods, but later I thought they would be part of my daughter's dowry. Now, I'm just going to use them as wine for the wedding banquet.
There weren't many people at the wedding, but everyone there was a big shot. Take one table of guests as an example: when have you ever seen two internet celebrities, Jack Ma and Pony Ma, eating at the same table?
The unspoken rule has always been that kings should not meet.
But today, at Li Haoyu's wedding, this outrageous thing actually happened.
All of this is because of that man who is very nervous right now.
Li Haoyu had already changed into his custom-made wedding suit and was anxiously waiting for the brides.
The three women wore pure white, custom-made wedding dresses, with layers of light tulle softly veiling the pleated skirts like a thin mist. White roses were adorned with spiraling floral vines on their shoulders.
Let them be like princesses in the clouds, elegant and gorgeous.
Accompanied by the sound of a symphony orchestra, they slowly walked towards Li Haoyu. The wedding ceremony was not complicated; after a simple vow exchange, the ceremony was declared complete.
In the days that followed, Li Haoyu retired completely.
He gave up all his work and all the titles that others had given him.
Li Haoyu took the three girls on a world tour, enjoying themselves immensely; their lives were happier than those of immortals.
Decades have passed by in a flash.
Li Haoyu's grandchildren have all grown up.
Just when Li Haoyu felt that his life was complete.
Suddenly, a forgotten notification sound rang in his ear.
"Congratulations, player, the world quest is complete."
