We agreed not to date, so why are you crying now that I've become the richest man?

After Su Ya finished speaking, only the low hum of the air conditioner remained in the conference room.

She stared at Ye Chen, waiting for him to make a statement.

$165 million.

This amounts to more than one billion yuan.

It's only when other people don't have money that they need to explain to the bank.

When it came to Ye Chen, the problem was that he made too much money too quickly, which also required an explanation.

Ye Chen didn't rush to look at the risk list, nor did he show the slightest panic because of this string of numbers.

He leaned back in his chair and asked:

"Your suggestion?"

Su Ya paused noticeably.

She was prepared for Ye Chen to think she was too cautious, or even to reject the plan outright.

Ye Chen's reaction was much calmer than she had expected.

Suya sat up straight.

"First, suspend all large-scale fund transfers."

"Second, immediately hire international law firms and accounting firms to get involved."

"First, clarify the nature of the funds, transaction documents, tax opinions, and future usage methods."

"Can."

Su Ya was taken aback.

Ye Chen closed the file and looked up at her.

"Is there anything else?"

Suya quickly came to her senses.

"This funding should not be directly linked to Starry Sky Interactive for the time being."

"The core trading team must be managed separately. Office locations, contracts, and accounts must all be separate, and personnel identities must be clearly stated. They cannot hold concurrent positions or receive permissions from both sides."

Ye Chen nodded.

"continue."

"Pricing related-party transactions in advance and clearly defining the boundaries of intellectual property rights authorization are also necessary."

Suya turned a page of the document.

"Starry Sky Interactive can use assets related to its game business, but it cannot package financial investment returns as game revenue. Once the accounts from both sides are mixed up, it will cause a lot of trouble later."

Ye Chen got up, walked to the whiteboard, and picked up a black marker.

"I will carry out everything you've said."

The pen tip glided across the whiteboard.

He drew three squares in a row.

The first one is Star Interactive.

The second is the Hong Kong subsidiary.

The third is Star Capital.

"Three layers of isolation."

Ye Chen tapped the first box.

"Starry Sky Interactive only focuses on game development, publishing, and operation."

"Employees, contracts, intellectual property rights, and revenue all revolve around the gaming business; we don't touch financial investments."

His pen moved to the second box.

"The Hong Kong subsidiary is responsible for handling overseas revenue, channel authorization, and settlement."

"Game revenue goes here first, and after auditing and tax opinions are obtained, we will decide how to distribute it next."

Finally, the pen tip landed on the four characters "Star Capital".

"Star Capital only makes financial investments."

"Accounts, personnel, office addresses, contracts, and accounts are all kept separate. Investment principal and returns cannot be directly transferred to Xingchen Interactive."

Han Yue lowered her head and quickly took notes.

Ye Chen then drew a horizontal line under the three boxes.

"A risk reserve fund is set up here."

"The principal and profits cannot all continue to be poured into the market. Sufficient liquidity must be reserved to cover margin calls, taxes, and unexpected audits."

Su Ya looked at the whiteboard, and her previously tense brows slowly relaxed.

Ye Chen has already crossed out most of the risk items she listed last night.

Ye Chen turned around.

"All future income will be audited first, then a tax opinion will be issued, and finally the destination will be decided."

He looked at Han Yue.

"The core trading team cannot be affiliated with Star Interactive, nor can they participate in game projects."

"We cannot give them the internal privileges and employee benefits of game companies."

"Are the staff working part-time?" Su Ya pressed.

"Remove all ambiguous identities."

Ye Chen capped the pen.

"Write down everything clearly: who works for which company, who receives their salary from which company, and who has signed their contract with which company."

How is intellectual property rights licensing handled?

"Games belong to Starry Sky Interactive."

"Financial models, trading strategies, and related materials belong to Star Capital."

Ye Chen put the marker back on the table.

"If both sides really need to use it, then sign a formal authorization agreement and settle the payment according to the market price."

Suya held the pen, hesitating to write the last stroke.

She originally thought Ye Chen was only good at seizing opportunities and making products.

But now it seems he's not just going to make the money back.

He also knew how to lock the money.

Han Yue looked up and asked, "President Ye, should we disclose the specific amount of funding to other people in the company?"

"Not to be announced."

Ye Chen answered very decisively.

"All company employees need to know is that Star Interactive has sufficient cash flow, and its salaries, R&D and marketing budgets will not be interrupted."

"As for Star Capital, it is classified as top secret."

He looked at the two of them.

"Unless it involves an audit, law firm, or bank, do not discuss specific figures within the company."

"clear."

Su Ya and Han Yue nodded at the same time.

Suya did not immediately put away the documents.

As she looked at Ye Chen, who had returned to the main seat, two completely different images flashed through her mind.

One is a young boss who personally tries out games in the office and occasionally cracks a joke with his employees.

The other is the trader on Hong Kong Island who stares at 100x leverage and doesn't even flinch at the millions of dollars in unrealized losses.

Mingming is still a freshman who needs to attend classes on time.

Just a few days ago, he personally orchestrated a financial storm worth billions.

"Mr. Ye."

Suya finally couldn't help but ask, "Did you personally order that this six or five hundred million US dollars be earned?"

Ye Chen picked up the mineral water and unscrewed the cap.

I guess so.

"Only ten million US dollars in principal?"

"Um."

"It only took a week?"

"Um."

Suya's hand stopped at the edge of the document.

Ye Chen took a sip of water, his tone as calm as if he were discussing an ordinary order.

"Don't look at me like that, luck played a big part."

Suya remained silent for two seconds.

"Can luck turn ten million into 165 million?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Then I guess I'm just incredibly unlucky."

Su Ya opened her mouth, but couldn't come up with a reply.

This explanation is not without merit.

It's practically the same as not explaining at all.

Ye Chen didn't intend to say anything more.

The same pattern has already occurred once in the previous life.

For him, it was simply a matter of looking at the answer and placing an order.

But for Su Ya and Han Yue, this kind of benefit can only be categorized as "inexplicable".

Just then, the internal phone on the table rang.

Ye Chen pressed the answer button.

Lin Yao's voice came in.

"Mr. Ye, Manager Xia from EA China Region is here again."

Su Ya raised her head.

"What is she doing here?"

"Manager Xia said she brought a list of overseas channel resources and hoped to discuss cooperation with General Manager Ye in person."

Ye Chen put down the water bottle.

"Let her in."

A few minutes later, the conference room door was pushed open.

Xia Meng walked in alone.

This time, she wasn't accompanied by her imposing negotiation team.

She wore a well-tailored white suit, her figure was tall and slender, her waist was neatly defined, and her long hair was tied up at the back of her head.

Her makeup was much lighter than last time, and she was only holding a black folder in her hand.

She's become less aggressive and more capable.
