My capital is quite large.

Seeing her best friend's carefree and optimistic attitude, Tang Yan poked her forehead with her finger, feeling a bit exasperated.

"You're just too easily satisfied!"

"Even if you don't think about your own future, shouldn't you at least think about the baby Maobo that's coming out of your belly?"

"What if one day, we sisters get old and lose our looks, and he cruelly abandons us? If we don't make plans now, we'll have no one to turn to for help later!"

Liu Shishi, however, simply pursed her lips indifferently:

"What's there to cry about?"

"Even if he really doesn't want us anymore in a few years, Maobo and Maochang are both his own flesh and blood. He can't just abandon his own sons, can he?"

"Besides, we get 500 million in dividends every year, how could my daughter and I possibly spend it all..."

"What do you know?" Tang Yan rolled her eyes at Liu Shishi.

"He wouldn't abandon his sons, but he already has five sons!"

"Moreover, who knows how many more will be born in the future."

"When dividing the family property in the future, who gets more and who gets less will depend on more than just whether the children are successful or not."

"The principle of a mother's status rising with her son's can also be understood in reverse."

Liu Shishi was slightly taken aback, and said somewhat bewilderedly:

"The reverse? Does the child's status depend on the mother's?"

"Yes!" Tang Yan sighed and offered a suggestion:

"Why do you think that guy surnamed Yang specifically went to invest in South Korean entertainment companies?"

"Isn't it just because she wants to create some business opportunities and leverage for Li Maoqing, so that she can gain more recognition in his eyes?"

At this point, Tang Yan asked a somewhat meaningful question:

"Shishi, don't you really have any idea how much money he actually has?"

Liu Shishi shook her head, somewhat bewildered.

Of course she knew that Li Feng was very rich, after all, Haofeng Group was basically a behemoth with no say in the mainland.

But she never had a clear concept of Li Feng's exact net worth.

With a hint of fear, Tang Yan leaned close to her ear and whispered an astronomical figure:

"One hundred billion."

"And it's in US dollars!"

"Ah?!" Liu Shishi nearly dropped her coffee cup, her almond-shaped eyes filled with shock: "So many?!"

"It will only increase, not decrease," Tang Yan said sullenly.

"When I went to Zijin Mountain last week to serve, I happened to hear Secretary Zhang come in to report on his work."

"It is said that before the Forbes rich list in the United States was published, Haofeng had already spent a lot of money to remove his name and asset data from the publicly released list."

"At that time, Forbes estimated his personal wealth at $1100 billion!"

"And this is only the publicly known assets that the Americans can trace. Those shadow funds, such as offshore trusts, are probably untraceable even by Forbes!"

Seeing Liu Shishi's stunned expression at the number, Tang Yan earnestly took her hand and advised her:

"Shishi, when it comes to studying, neither of us is cut out for it."

"The path of a PhD from the University of Hong Kong is one that we can never take in our lifetime."

"But if we can be a help to that man in his career, even if it's just a little bit..." Tang Yan pondered.

"When the family property is divided in the future, the support they provide will be immeasurable, whether it is for your Maobai or my Maochang."

"These past two days, I've had someone specifically study Haofeng Group's financial audit report."

"Our group's current business spans the internet, semiconductors, and film and gaming, but in the fashion industry, it is still a completely uncharted territory."

"Just look at how much LV and Gucci's global sales have increased this year?"

......

Hearing Tang Yan's grand vision, a hint of hesitation flashed across Liu Shishi's pretty face, and she asked with some worry:

"Tangtang, your idea is quite good."

"But...but neither of us has ever been involved in the luxury goods and fashion industry."

"The business world is like a battlefield. What if the investment fails and everything goes down the drain? That's a billion dollars!"

Seeing her best friend looking like she was worried about losing money even before leaving the house, Tang Yan pouted:

"You're just worrying about things that don't concern you."

"We're just here in Milan for an inspection, not for you to grab a check and sign a contract with those Italians right now."

"When it really comes down to paying money, we can just go and ask him for our people back, right?"

Tang Yan raised an eyebrow and said matter-of-factly:

"Didn't Yang Mi take someone named Lin Lu from the parent company when she went to Seoul for investment this time?"

"I've heard that the girl is not only a top student at Stanford, but also has a distinguished track record on Wall Street."

"There are two of us here. Once we've got our eye on the projects, we'll sweet-talk him and each of us can ask for a professional manager like Lin Lu to come over."

"Investing, when you put it simply, isn't it just that simple?"

"With a professional team and ample funding, even a pig can fly."

At this point, Tang Yan poked Liu Shishi's forehead and teased her:

"Besides, even if we do make a mistake outside, does he really think he'll just abandon us?"

"Even if the sky falls, he'll hold it up."

......

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Nanjing...

The sunlight was blinding in the president's office on the top floor of Haofeng's headquarters.

Secretary Zhang Yuxi was standing in front of the desk, reporting the latest battle situation across the ocean to Li Feng:

"Mr. Li, good news has just come from Tokyo: the acquisition of a 20% stake in TBS Television, spearheaded by Director Zhao Zhe, has been completed."

"To avoid arousing the suspicion of the Financial Supervisory Bureau, Director Zhao did not use the 'Chugoku Investment Co., Ltd.' that we previously controlled TV Tokyo this time."

"Instead, the operation was carried out in Tokyo's free trade zone by re-registering and shelling a new entity called Yowa Co., Ltd."

At this point, Zhang Yuxi glanced at the report in her hand and continued reporting to her supervisor:

"In addition, in order to make this move appear to the outside world as a normal business investment, Director Zhao, while accumulating TBS shares, also invested in acquiring 15 percent of Tsuburaya Productions' shares to confuse the public."

"However, due to the extreme exclusion of foreigners in the capital market, the premium this time is a bit high."

"Mr. Li... the special acquisition fund of 60 billion RMB that you previously approved has now been completely spent."

Upon hearing the report that all 60 billion had been spent, Li Feng's eyes remained completely unmoved.

"As long as things can be done, spending a little more money is no big deal."

At this point, Li Feng seemed to remember something and pressed for an answer.

"That engineer who mastered Sony's 10nm and 7nm purification technology... what was his name again?"

Zhang Yuxi quickly replied:

"Reporting to Mr. Li, that person's name is Zhu Xingshu."

"Yes, it's this Zhuxing Tree." A cold glint flashed in Li Feng's eyes.

"How's your contact with this person going lately?"

Mentioning this, Zhang Yuxi looked somewhat embarrassed and awkward, and explained in a low voice:

"Miyamura from Tokyo just had a chance encounter with Maeda Atsuko through an opportunity at a high-end bar the day before yesterday."

"But... the feedback indicates that this Nagisa Hoshiki doesn't seem to be very interested in Ms. Maeda's pure idol-type looks. She didn't even leave her phone number and her attitude was very cold."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng frowned slightly.

"Not interested? Then let AKS find someone else."

"AKS has so many female artists and trainees, from mature women to cute girls to alluring ladies, what kind of girl don't they have?"

"Go tell that Miyamura to find someone else to work on the project, until he is satisfied."
