546: Chapter 546 Many people support it! Fundraising easily surpasses 100 million!
This reason left Su Yang feeling amused and helpless!
Zhan Qingfei said with a grin, "Brother Su, aren't you moved?"
"I actually am, a little!"
At this stage, those who dared to buy his private equity fund were truly supporting him with their own hard-earned money!
Zhan Qingfei said, "Then next time you organize a self-driving convoy trip, can you take me with you?"
"This... I can't promise!"
Zhan Qingfei's face immediately fell.
Just then, a group of fashionable, well-dressed young people, led by a beautiful woman, arrived at Yuanshi Private Equity.
Among the group, the men were handsome and the women were beautiful, making them quite eye-catching.
The receptionist, Xiong Tianze, and several other management members saw them and quickly went up to greet them.
However, at that moment, the young people stopped one after another to greet Su Yang:
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
"Hello, Boss!"
"Boss, you're here!"
"..."
"You all came as a group?"
Su Yang looked helplessly at Gu Qian, who was leading, and the group of internet celebrities behind her, and said.
After Yu Siying left Spark Media, Gu Qian was promoted to the position of Vice President of Spark Media.
Gu Qian smiled generously, "Boss, we just happened to want to buy some private equity, so we decided to come over as a group."
"Then you must be prepared for the possibility of losses!"
"We understand!" Gu Qian nodded, "The people at the private equity fund company already told us!"
"Then go register!"
"..."
Just then, Zhan Qingfei tugged at Su Yang's arm, "Brother Su, are these people from your company?"
"Yeah!"
Su Yang looked up at Zhan Qingfei; the kid's eyes were glowing!
"That one with the pink hair, can you introduce me to her?"
Su Yang glanced at the pink-haired girl again to confirm.
He raised his hand and knocked Zhan Qingfei hard on the head.
This kid really has an eye for things!
Zhan Qingfei covered his head and said aggrievedly, "Why did you hit me?"
"What do you think?"
"Oh!" Zhan Qingfei suddenly realized, then turned to Jiang Yan and apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't know!"
"You've already paid the money, so hurry back!" Su Yang began to shoo him away, "I'm a bit busy!"
"Brother Su, I didn't expect you to be that kind of person..."
After Zhan Qingfei and Ou Xiaoning left, Su Yang chatted with Niu Zhitong, Gong Caiyun, Gong Zihao, and Xiao Fu.
After Niu Zhitong broke her single-session livestream sales record last time, Spark Media adjusted her compensation.
Even though the market competition for livestreaming hosts is fierce now, she is still the most profitable one at Spark Media!
After they left, Su Yang took a quick look.
Gong Zihao bought one million, Niu Zhitong two million, Xiao Fu two million, Gong Caiyun one million, Jiang Yan... three million?
Hmm?
He casually sent a wechat message to Jiang Yan: "You didn't use Huabei for this, did you?"
Soon, Jiang Yan replied: "I borrowed it from colleagues and friends. If I lose it, I'm going to sponge off you for the rest of my life!"
Su Yang: "That works!"
Jiang Yan: "Xiao Yu also chipped in 500,000, it's included in my funds, she doesn't have much money!"
Su Yang: "Got it!"
Duan Zixuan trotted into the Yuanshi Private Equity office to report the good news: "Good news! Good news! We have raised over 40 million!"
Huo Zihao said in surprise, "Wow, 40 million in just one morning?"
The employees in the other offices were all smiles, including Pei Jiaqi and Zhou Chenghong.
The entire company was very focused on the fundraising situation.
Because this was directly related to their salaries and the company's future development!
For a startup private equity firm, raising 40 million is already a very good achievement.
Some startup private equity firms can't even scrape together 10 million!
And they have to take the risk of lowering the private equity threshold to 500,000 to attract more clients!
Most importantly, this was just the result from one morning!
"Yes!" Duan Zixuan said vividly, "There was a big boss who invested 20 million right off the bat, without blinking an eye, only asking the boss to minimize losses!"
"Is the boss's network that good?" Huo Zihao asked curiously, "I thought we wouldn't be able to raise much money from outsiders!"
"Also, it seems like the employees from the boss's subsidiaries came over, and his employees were buying 1 million, 2 million, 3 million casually... they are freaking rich!"
"..."
Three days later, Su Yang tallied the funds raised, and it had already broken 150 million!
What surprised him was that even Yu Siying, who had just finished paying off her mortgage, invested 1 million!
On the Spark Entertainment Group side, besides many of the old crew, there was 3 million from Tang Ximing, 3 million from Lin Yi, and 1 million from the screenwriter Mo Kexin.
Ji Guoxiong's 3 million, Tan Yanghong's 2 million.
Xu Zhiping and Gao Qiang, whose salaries weren't very high, both chipped in 1 million.
Fengyuan's Liao Mingjun invested 2 million.
As well as other high-salaried executives from other subsidiaries, including Yanhu Vocational School.
Xu Zhu invested 3 million; she was the one who contributed the most among the partners of Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant!
Weimingda Group's Xu Tianfu invested 3 million, Dongcheng Real Estate boss Jin Qunlin and CFO Liu Daming also invested, and Jinfu Group's Yang Jingshan's money had also arrived.
There were also other sporadic investments from wealthy people Su Yang knew and had collaborated with.
Some ordinary employees who usually kept a low profile and earned a monthly salary of a few thousand or ten thousand also stepped up.
And a few high-end clients from Spark Fitness, like Wang Long and the others, also contributed over 20 million!
Inside the Garden Residential Complex, Qin Shuang took out two house purchase contracts and said with a smile:
"Come on, Boss Su, pay up!"
Looking at the contracts worth over 6 million, Su Yang nodded with a smile.
"I didn't take advantage of you; it's all calculated based on the current secondhand market transaction prices!" Qin Shuang sighed, "Actually, I'm the one losing out; the apartment next door happened to be bought at the peak!"
Besides the apartment Su Yang lived in, the other apartment Chen Li bought was in the neighboring complex.
It was also a six-story villa-style apartment, 140 square meters, which Qin Shuang had already renovated but hadn't had time to rent out yet.
The building had an elevator, and the unit was on the fourth floor and quite sunny; Chen Li was very satisfied!
"I know!" Su Yang said with a smile, "But housing prices will continue to fall!"
Predicting the general trend of housing prices was relatively simple for Su Yang.
In the Business Deduction, he could just use all the company's funds to buy real estate.
After all, the company could speculate on real estate!
As long as he bought enough, housing price fluctuations would affect the company's profits!
"I know!" Qin Shuang laughed, "So, rather than letting others get a deal, it's better to let me get it!"
"True!"
Qin Shuang's point was valid!
However, he still thought about it and asked, "Do you have any other properties that haven't been lived in?"
"No more..."
Qin Shuang felt like she had missed out on a deal.
"Alright then!"
"Once I get the cash, I'll support you. I'll split the money earned from the private equity with Chen Li and Tao Xue... consider it our support!" Qin Shuang blinked, "Also, I've pulled in a few clients for you; they are very wealthy. A million or so is just pocket change to them!"
"Sure!"
Not long after, the money was transferred to Qin Shuang's account.
Chen Li also insistently handed over the 2 million she had saved for a long time.
By the 20th, Su Yang saw Qin Shuang on the fundraising list, with 10 million!
Qin Shuang also brought four friends over, who bought about 7 million.
In a rental apartment in Rongcheng, Lu Xiangjun lay on the bed with dull eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Since graduating, she had been looking for a job.
She thought that if she learned a skill well, she could find a job, but reality was a bit cruel.
The job opening with the most vacancies in Rongcheng was still telemarketing!
She had finally managed to get an interview for a position with a monthly salary of 3,000, which was clearly labeled as an assistant... but it turned out to be just making sales calls.
After making calls for a day, she was cursed out by the people on the other end several times!
So she packed her bags and quit!
Her classmates who studied fashion design had all gone to Guangdong Province to find work; she heard there were more clothing companies there, and the opportunities were greater.
But she didn't have the courage... she felt very lost right now!
Sometimes, she even envied her classmates who went to work at Jiuxiang Food.
Now she realized that the compensation at Jiuxiang Food was truly sweet!
Should she go?
She remembered that her counselor had mentioned it to her.
If all else failed, she could go to Jiuxiang Food to tide herself over!
Just then, her phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was her counselor, she answered it.
"Xiangjun, how have you been lately?"
"It's alright!"
"Have you found a job?"
"Uh... still looking!"
"The school recently got in touch with a clothing company, and they are willing to take on some new employees. Your instructors speak very highly of you, saying you are very talented, and you performed well in school. Are you interested in going to give it a try?"
"A clothing company?"
"Yes, a fashion design position. Since you are a new hire, there is a one-month probation period. The probation salary is 3,000, and after becoming a regular employee, the monthly salary will be about 4,000. The company will provide social insurance..."
Before the counselor could finish, Lu Xiangjun sat up from the bed: "Where is it?"
"Sihua Clothing!"
Lu Xiangjun asked skeptically: "I've been to Sihua... they said they weren't hiring this year!"
As a company with over 500 employees, Sihua Clothing was somewhat well-known.
After all, there weren't many local clothing companies.
The counselor smiled and said: "We will mention it to Sihua; just give them your name!"
"Oh, okay!"
Lu Xiangjun seemed to understand something.
Isn't this just pulling strings!
If it were someone else using the back door, she would definitely criticize them harshly.
But since it was her... she felt a bit secretly pleased.
After talking with the counselor, she hung up the phone, and the pressure on her suddenly vanished by more than half.
Opening the class group chat she had muted, she saw that people were actually posting in it.
She wasn't the only one who received a call from the counselor!
Ruan Yalan: "The counselor said I could go to Sihua for quality control, the compensation is decent!"
Cai Xiao: "I'm going to do quality inspection!"
"..."
Chen Xin: "Why didn't the counselor call me?"
The group chat suddenly went quiet.
At this moment, Yi Zongguang, who had a bit of money at home but a foul mouth and a grudge against Chen Xin, spoke up:
"With your grades, the counselor probably doesn't want to ruin the school's reputation!"
"The teachers always praise Ruan Yalan and Cai Xiao, saying they are diligent and careful!"
"If you went, wouldn't you be cutting off the future path for the juniors?"
"..."
Chen Xin: "@Yi Zongguang: Aren't your grades also very bad?"
Yi Zongguang: "But I have self-awareness!"
Seeing that the two were about to start an argument, suddenly everyone was muted!
Counselor: "Everyone be quiet. Recommending based on professional course grades and school performance is relatively fair, and we also need to satisfy the clothing company. We are also trying our best to help everyone find ways!"
