100: Chapter 100 Chenxing Capital

Stepping out of the Japanese restaurant, the high-altitude wind from the fifty-eighth floor blew against them, carrying the early autumn chill of the river surface.

Beneath their feet were the brilliant lights of the entire Jiangcheng. The Yangtze River crossed the city like a black satin ribbon, with the lights from both banks reflecting on the water, shattering into countless golden points of light.

Wang Hao took a deep breath, turned to look at Jiang Chen, and opened his mouth only to close it again. He wanted to say words of thanks but felt it would be too sentimental.

Jiang Chen glanced at him, seeing right through his thoughts. His tone was flat yet incredibly sincere: "Don't overthink it. I'll call you whenever there's a suitable opportunity in the future. You're my brother. If I don't call you when something good comes along, who else would I call?"

A simple sentence, yet it instantly struck the softest part of Wang Hao's heart.

His nose suddenly felt sore, and his eyes grew uncontrollably red. Warm tears instantly welled up, blurring his vision.

He sniffed hard and blinked his eyes vigorously, trying to force the tears back, but the tears still stubbornly welled out.

He hurriedly turned his head away from Jiang Chen, using his sleeve to wipe his eyes messily while muttering stubbornly, "Damn, the wind up here is too strong. It's blowing so hard I can't even keep my eyes open."

Jiang Chen didn't expose his little excuse. He just reached out and gently patted his shoulder, saying nothing more as he turned to walk toward the elevator.

Wang Hao stood in place, watching Jiang Chen's back.

He couldn't help but remember when the two of them had first met in high school, squeezed onto a dormitory bed, lightheartedly dreaming about the future together.

Back then, Jiang Chen had said with a smile that he wondered what it would be like to date a celebrity and didn't know if he'd ever have the chance to experience it in this lifetime.

As for himself, he had scratched his head and said he didn't have any big dreams—just to earn some money, buy a house, drive a nice car, and live a comfortable life.

Back then, they had nothing, yet they possessed the purest joy and aspirations.

And now, his brother was by his side, sharing the best experiences with him. This friendship was far more precious than any gourmet delicacies.

"What are you dazing off for? Let's go."

Jiang Chen stood at the elevator entrance and called out without looking back.

"Coming, coming!"

...

Jiang Chen pushed open the door to his home, shedding his fatigue as he walked straight toward the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the living room.

Outside, the night view of the Yangtze River spread out like splashed ink. The lights on both banks lit up in succession, flowing into the river like crushed gold, swaying with the shimmering waves to form a flowing river of stars.

He casually changed into loose loungewear and turned to walk into the study.

Before the desk, his newly assembled gaming computer stood quietly, the cold light from the chassis reflecting a cool tone in the night.

This machine had cost him nearly sixty thousand, with a top-of-the-line graphics card and processor. It was "happiness equipment" he had specially prepared for himself.

It wasn't that he was pursuing luxury; it was just that now that he was well-off, playing games occasionally when bored or relaxing by playing with his brother was a rare bit of comfort.

Jiang Chen sat down, tapped the mouse, and logged into the voice chat software.

Just as he entered the channel, Wang Hao's signature loud voice instantly exploded out, carrying a hint of impatient urgency: "Chenzi, you're finally home? Hurry up, get online! Tonight we have to crush the other side in their fountain!"

"Coming."

Jiang Chen gave a low laugh, his finger clicking the mouse as the matchmaking queue quickly refreshed.

After nearly two hours of intense battle, with light and shadow flickering on the screen, the headset was filled with Wang Hao's roars and cheers.

From the initial passionate laning phase to later on, Wang Hao's voice gradually became tinged with fatigue. His mechanics began to slip, and he even missed last-hits frequently.

"No more, no more..."

Wang Hao let out a long yawn, his voice sounding drained. "I have an 8 AM class tomorrow. If I stay up any longer, I'm afraid the teacher will call my name and hang me out to dry on the blackboard."

"Alright, sleep early. Don't be late tomorrow," Jiang Chen replied, closing the game interface.

The light from the computer screen reflected on his face. The time showed 11:40.

He didn't turn off the computer immediately but leaned back into the soft gaming chair.

He took out his phone and opened that all-too-familiar interface.

[daily wealth intelligence].

The interface was the same familiar style, yet it always brought unknown surprises.

Jiang Chen tapped his finger, a flash of anticipation crossing his eyes.

He wondered if there would be any changes to the intelligence tonight?

He knew better than anyone that no matter how accurate the intelligence was, it was merely cold information.

Only by converting information into a physical entity and grounding his strength could these numbers truly become power held in his hands.

And now, the time had come.

The assets on hand were no longer a small sum. It was time to build a platform of his own.

An entity that only took orders from him and served the wealth intelligence.

He had already decided on the company name long ago.

It just hadn't been implemented yet.

Chenxing Capital.

"Chen" was his surname, and "Xing" represented the vast river of stars.

This name hid his ambition: to use intelligence as an anchor and capital as a boat to expand his territory in the river of stars of wealth.

Chenxing Capital would not be greedy for diversified expansion, would not chase market trends, and certainly would not do the useless work of external financing.

Its core was to turn daily intelligence into solid assets and returns.

Opportunities in other industries were merely the icing on the cake and must never overshadow the main focus.

Jiang Chen stood up, went to the water dispenser to get a glass of warm water, and looked out at the Yangtze River again through the floor-to-ceiling window.

Assets of over ten million, for a sophomore, were already an astronomical figure that others could hardly reach.

But Jiang Chen knew this was only the first step of a long march.

The blueprint for Chenxing Capital went far beyond this.

He carried his water glass back to the computer as the time jumped to midnight.

He gently refreshed the page, and a line of pale gold system prompts slowly popped up.

[Ding! Host assets have broken through the ten-million level. daily wealth intelligence function is upgrading... Once the upgrade is complete, the intelligence dimensions will be more comprehensive. Please wait patiently.]

A minute passed.

A line of gilded characters suddenly emerged, exceptionally dazzling on the dark screen.

[Congratulations! Host assets have exceeded ten million. daily wealth intelligence has been upgraded to Lv.3.]

[New Function Unlocked: Intelligence Dimension Upgrade — In addition to wealth opportunities, the system will provide comprehensive random pushes combining business opportunities and key figures. The correlation between intelligence reports will be significantly enhanced.]

Jiang Chen sat up straight, his gaze locked onto the screen.

Today's interface was completely different from before.

It was no longer a single, isolated piece of intelligence, but was divided into two closely echoing sections, like a woven net accurately cast toward his goal.

[Today's wealth intelligence: A rare listing has recently appeared in the "Changjiang International Center" in the core business district of Jiangcheng's CBD.]

[This office building guards the intersection of Metro Line 2 and Line 4, is within walking distance of the municipal government, and is surrounded by the headquarters of multiple financial institutions. It is recognized as the top business landmark of Jiangcheng.]

[The current listing is for the eastern half of the thirty-seventh floor, with an area of approximately five hundred square meters. It is delivered with high-end renovations, including an independent reception area and a general manager's office. The biggest highlight is the view directly facing the Yangtze River, with an unobstructed river view.]

[The original owner of this property was an internet startup that purchased it for twelve million last year and invested nearly two million in customized renovations, planning to use it as the company headquarters.]

[Unfortunately, financing failed this year, the capital chain completely snapped, and they have no choice but to sell at a low price to recover funds.]

[The current asking price is 9.8 million, including all renovation results and office furniture. The owner is urgent to sell, and there is still a small amount of room for negotiation.]

[Compared to similar properties in the same area, the normal transaction price is generally around thirteen million. It is recommended that the host purchase it in the name of Chenxing Capital as the company's first physical office location.]

[On one hand, office buildings in core locations themselves possess extremely strong value preservation and appreciation attributes, making them a high-quality choice for asset accumulation.]

[On the other hand, the establishment of a physical office space is a key step for Chenxing Capital to move from "concept" to "entity." it plays an irreplaceable core role in recruiting talent, conducting business, and establishing industry credibility in the future.]
