547: Chapter 547 Three Hundred Million! Prioritize Harvesting Foreigners!

The counselor was right; at least the students in the group could accept this recommendation and distribution method.

A student who had found a job took a screenshot of the messages in the group and sent it to a colleague who was also from a vocational college. That female colleague couldn't help but exclaim, "The teachers at your school are really responsible. They still look after you even after graduation and even recommend jobs to you!"

"Is that considered very responsible?"

"Of course, that's already very responsible!"

"..."

Su Yang did a quick tally of how much capital his subsidiaries could raise. After a simple calculation, he had just returned to his apartment in the Garden Community when he met Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang couldn't help but complain to Su Yang, "The employees at your private equity firm are truly bold!"

Su Yang sat on the sofa and asked casually, "What's wrong?"

"My friend asked if the private equity investment was guaranteed, and your employee said it wasn't... My friend asked if there would be losses, and your employee said they would liquidate if the loss reached 30%!"

Qin Shuang covered her forehead as if she were stunned, "Isn't that just driving customers away?"

"I actually don't think there's a problem!"

"No problem?" Qin Shuang said with some disbelief, "I've had bank employees try to sell me private equity funds before, and those people at the bank talked it up to the skies... You actually say there's no problem?"

"Yeah!" Su Yang nodded, "I taught them to say that. Buying private equity inherently carries significant risk!"

"Huh?" Qin Shuang tilted her head and looked at Su Yang, speechless, "So, how much money have you raised?"

"Including what you brought, it's estimated that we'll raise around 180 to 190 million... Plus the funds from other companies, it's about enough!"

"That much?" Qin Shuang looked at Su Yang in surprise, "Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

"So many people trust you?"

He glanced at the fresh red rose in the vase on the coffee table and smiled, "There are business partners, and many subordinates and employees... They all contributed money!"

"Are the subordinates and employees showing their loyalty?"

"That's definitely part of it!" Su Yang nodded frankly, "But they must also believe in me quite a bit... Don't you?"

"That's true. It's not easy to get people to cough up millions to show loyalty," Qin Shuang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "I only introduced customers to you because I know you won't mess around... I never pull customers for anyone, except for your company!"

Su Yang's character... how should I put it?

Apart from being a bit of a playboy, there's really nothing to complain about.

His vision is unique, and his abilities are excellent!

Plus, he has several well-run physical companies, so it's actually normal for him to be trusted.

Thinking of Jiang Yan's question, Su Yang asked in the executive wechat group, "Have you heard of employees in your companies pooling money together to buy private equity recently?"

Jiuxiang Catering - Ji Guoxiong: "I have heard of it!"

Spark Entertainment - Yu Siying: "It seems so, there's more of that over at Spark Media!"

Jiuxiang Food - Tan Yanghong: "This... I think I've heard of it too!"

Spark Media - Cheng Jinhua: "Haha... I heard there's an office where twenty employees pooled 1.01 million. But some employees in our company also surprised me; I didn't expect their families to be so wealthy..."

Hongyu - Liu Fengshan: "There have indeed been employees from the boss's companies consulting on this legal issue recently... But I can't say specifically who, I still have professional ethics!"

Spark Entertainment - Yu Siying: "@Hongyu - Liu Fengshan: You are really cunning!"

"..."

Meixing Model Agency - Xu Fei: "Have you all bought it?"

Su Yang: "@Meixing Model Agency - Xu Fei: Of course not. Not everyone has that much money. Private equity is inherently risky; if you lose money, you have to be responsible for it yourself!"

Spark Entertainment - Yu Siying: "@Meixing Model Agency - Xu Fei: It's fine. The boss doesn't care about your one or two million; the boss can support the private equity fund by investing his own money!"

"..."

Su Yang looked at Yu Siying's reply and touched his nose.

Is she flattering him?

The other executives who were paying attention to the group messages but were too embarrassed to speak up breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Su Yang's attitude!

They couldn't really accept such a high-risk investment method as private equity funds.

About three days later, Su Yang began to mobilize funds that his subsidiaries didn't need for the time being.

On the Jiuxiang Catering side, Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain bought 5 million, Weimeijia bought 3 million, and Jiuxiang Healthy Catering bought 2 million, for a total of 10 million in funds!

On the Spark Fitness side, the headquarters bought 3 million, and the Guangdong Province subsidiary bought 10 million, totaling 13 million!

Yanhu Education bought 1 million, and the Yanhu Vocational College foundation bought 20 million, totaling 21 million.

The main functions of a university foundation include fundraising, investment management, and donation management, among others.

Previously, the Yanhu Vocational College foundation existed in name only, with just a broken sign.

However, after accepting the donation from Professor Du, it came back to life.

In the short term, these 30 million in funds definitely wouldn't be used up, so Su Yang decided to use them!

It was completely in accordance with the regulations!

The money earned from the foundation's 20 million investment would be used for school education in the future.

Hongyu Law Firm bought 2 million, Yulong Technology bought 1 million, and Fengyuan Ingredients bought 10 million.

After greeting Zhang Zhiyuan and obtaining his consent, Chizhu Wine Industry bought 20 million!

Chizhu Wine Industry was still building its factory and importing equipment.

But the factory hadn't been completed yet, and coupled with the recent hot sales, its working capital was quite abundant!

On the Spark Entertainment Group side, Meixing Model Agency and Mingxuan GG each bought 1 million!

At this time, the earnings from Heili Film and Television's short dramas had also almost all been returned!

After obtaining Su Yang's consent, Spark Media withdrew the 40 million funds it had lent to Heili Film and Television and bought the private equity fund!

Back when the funds were being mobilized, Spark Media had given the capital to Heili in the form of a loan!

Su Yang did not withdraw the remaining 70-plus million in working capital from Heili Film and Television.

Because Heili Film and Television had another short drama to promote soon.

This short drama had limited potential, but it could still earn a few million, and it required about 50 million in promotional funds!

By next month, it would be able to recover!

Su Yang also felt it was necessary to heavily invest in the short drama industry.

The efficiency was a bit too slow now, he could totally make the screenwriters work harder; at worst, he would just pay them enough!

Moreover, Linyi Film and Television was also about to start filming its second TV series.

The 70-plus million left there was just about right!

Su Yang checked on the acquisition progress from Cheng Wenhuo's side and the loan disbursement progress from Tian Hanxiong to Jiuxiang Food, then left 10 million for emergencies and bought 20 million in his own name!

Even if there was a problem on Tian Hanxiong's side, Su Yang could still squeeze out money from other subsidiaries to help Jiuxiang Food, so the problem wouldn't be big!

Thus, Su Yang's subsidiaries helped Yuanshi Private Equity raise 139 million in funds.

Plus the 188 million already raised, that totaled 327 million!

Seeing this amount, Su Yang was satisfied.

Just from the 1% subscription fee, Yuanshi Private Equity collected 3.27 million!

That was enough for the entire Yuanshi Private Equity to survive for more than half a year!

If you add the 2% management fee, that was another substantial income!

There were also redemption fees, subscription fees...

Once the private equity fund's profit exceeded 10%, they could then take 20%~30% from the profits.

If it lost money... then the investors would be responsible for it themselves!

No wonder everyone likes to work in finance!

It's truly a guaranteed profit without losses!

Of course, it would still be very difficult to make Su Yang lose money in private equity!

Unless there was a systemic financial risk on a global scale... but he could choose not to invest!

These people had used real money to trust him, so he still had some sense of responsibility.

Feeling that the funds had been raised enough, Su Yang convened a meeting with the management team to see the investment plan the company had decided on.

Soon, Su Yang had roughly finished reviewing the entire investment plan.

The yuanshi wealth no. 1 private equity fund planned to use two-thirds of its funds to buy A-shares and one-third to buy us stocks!

The A-shares would focus on semiconductors, communication equipment, and healthcare, with corresponding stock options for each sector.

The us stocks would be selected from Nasdaq-listed companies, including internationally renowned companies like Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Nvidia, and so on.

These employees had indeed done their homework!

Closing the plan, Su Yang smiled lightly, "Do you think it's necessary to invest in us stocks?"

Before Xiong Tianze could speak, Zhou Chenghong preempted him: "Boss, I am very bullish on us stocks. I think we are still being conservative; we should invest more!"

Su Yang finally understood why Zhou Chenghong couldn't make it in his previous company.

He didn't answer Zhou Chenghong but looked at Xiong Tianze. Xiong Tianze said in a steady tone, "I am also bullish on us stocks, but A-shares are already at a low level. We are allocating to us stocks to balance returns and reduce risk!"

Pei Jiaqi also said, "A-shares have been falling from 3600 for some time, while us stocks have been rising for years... They haven't released their risks, so I think it's better to buy domestic stocks!"

Su Yang pursed his lips and smiled, "It's already at the bottom, so any direction is upwards, so... just go all-in?"

The entire management team in the office couldn't help but laugh.

This meme is quite famous!

"Boss, this A-share thing... you don't even know where the bottom is. You think the current 18th floor underground might actually have a 19th or 29th floor underground!" Zhou Chenghong spoke rather urgently, "I think if we want to make money, we can't be afraid of chasing highs!"

Su Yang waved his hand: "I know what you mean!"

Xiong Tianze thought for a moment and still said, "Boss, it's safer to allocate a portion to us stocks; what Zhou Chenghong said is not without reason."

He didn't particularly like Zhou Chenghong, but Zhou Chenghong was highly valued by Su Yang, who had also asked him to train him well.

And from the perspective of company interests, investing entirely in A-shares is indeed risky!

"I know!" Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "Meeting adjourned! I will take a closer look at your plan!"

"Okay, Boss!"

In the quiet office, Su Yang tried using Business Deduction slightly: "In September, you use all the raised funds to buy the ChiNext Index and hold it. In the first month, the private equity fund managed by Yuanshi Private Equity falls by 24% overall, and the company loses 410,000."

"In the second month, the private equity fund managed by Yuanshi Private Equity falls by 18% overall, and the company loses 410,000."

"In the third month, the private equity fund managed by Yuanshi Private Equity falls by 74% overall, and the company loses 410,000."

"In the fourth month, the private equity fund managed by Yuanshi Private Equity rises by 63% overall, and the company loses 410,000."

"In the fifth month, the private equity fund managed by Yuanshi Private Equity falls by 23% overall, and the company loses 410,000."

"..."

Su Yang curled his lip and tried going all-in on Nasdaq, CSI 300, and the Dow Jones Index... Soon he made a decision:

Capital is a zero-sum game; if he makes money, others must lose!

So... since he has the ability to make money, he should prioritize harvesting Americans!

He was going to earn dollars!
