Chapter 816 - 333: The Cost of a Meal

Chapter 816: Chapter 333: The Cost of a Meal

Boeing’s rise has announced one thing to the outside world.

And that is Jiang Banxia has won.

Even if there’s no profit, and might even lose money, she still won.

Correspondingly, Wanliu Capital’s stock has risen by 20% within a month.

Firstly, it’s a stock with a market value of three trillion, secondly... Li Yang is still in the process of reducing holdings.

Li Yang originally planned to pocket 180 billion, but in reality, he received more, almost enough to cover the personal income tax.

For reducing stock, there’s a 20% personal income tax, and Li Yang needs to pay about 40 billion in taxes.

Yet the rise in Wanliu Capital’s stock price has increased his portfolio value by over 30 billion.

And this was just after cashing out a third, who knows, when he cashes out later, the stock price might go up again.

It’s the kind of stock market that countless CEOs dream of; those CEOs dream of cashing out, but, alas, the stock price can’t bear the intensity of their cashing out.

Honestly speaking, the company isn’t worth that much, even slightly dumping a few tens or hundreds of millions of chips could take half a year or a year to recover.

Regular listed company shareholders don’t have the energy to operate slowly, so they collaborate with financial institutions, letting them pay to swallow the shareholders’ chips, basically selling them at half the price.

Five billion worth of stock, you can sell it to institutions for 2.5 billion.

If there’s more capital, the discount is even bigger.

Fifty billion worth of stock, perhaps selling to institutions for just over ten billion.

Why would individual investors compete on costs with institutions? They can never get such prices in their lifetime.

There are many types of trading agreements, block transactions or intraday acceptance are considered decent.

There are plenty of agreements that, at a glance, give a feeling: Damn, don’t they have any shame?

As time slowly passes, the activity of splitting 20 billion across the entire network has drawn to a close, with around 600 million people nationwide participating, each person getting an average of thirty yuan.

In families with more members, they only got two or three hundred yuan, not much money.

Some people uninstalled Kuai Pai after receiving the money, but many discovered Kuai Pai was a bit different after engaging for seven days.

Firstly, there are not many ads, and if there are, they are all from big enterprises, none of those ads related to unsafe products or those that induce consumption.

There are quite a few live streams, but almost none are scam streams.

Even comments sections don’t have those deceptive rhythmic manipulators.

Most importantly, Kuai Pai lacks a lot of those nasty things.

There are many sharing foreign lifestyles, but they show basic life, with both advantages and disadvantages, rather than going to a trash supermarket, buying near-expiry products, and taking the opportunity to attack domestic prices.

The water army in the comment sections is scarce.

The reason is... every account on Kuai Pai has a weight setting; anyone engaged in water army activities is easy to monitor, and their account will be directly downgraded.

It doesn’t affect posting, you can express whatever you want, but it won’t be publicly displayed, only the user themselves can see it.

The most lucrative type of short video platform content is the emotional brainwashing flow.

Watching too much of that kind of content gives people the illusion that everyone on the internet is an idiot, and more and more people are getting fed up with such content.

It’s either various rhythm control related to national issues or gender issues.

On Kuai Pai, all boxing content is banned, all sarcastic, spineless rhythm comments are also banned.

Accounts without real-name authentication are almost not given weight, whether for comments or video uploads.

And with constant encouragement to create high-quality content, in agriculture, science popularization, and outdoor fields, Kuai Pai’s content is undoubtedly top-notch.

With countless short dramas emerging, it has attracted a significant number of middle-aged and elderly users.

This time, Li Yang thought keeping tens of millions of users would be a success.

In reality, after several days, Kuai Pai’s users only decreased by 200 million, with over 300 million online within three days, and nearly 400 million within seven days.

Suddenly, it became the absolute leader, attracting nearly a third of the traffic from other short video platforms.

No one cared about Musician’s stock before, and if Li Yang hadn’t taken over, it would have faced delisting long ago.

But due to the appearance of short dramas, hundreds of them have been shot in the past two years, successfully bringing a wave of surging stock prices for Musician.

Musician is on the Growth Enterprise Market, and the rules have just been changed, with a 20% limit for ups and downs on the Growth Enterprise Market; Musician has already happily hit the limit for three days at 20 centimeters, with its stock price rising from over 10 billion to nearly 20 billion.

A few days later, Li Yang saw Jiang Banxia packing again.

"I went out for a trip today!"

Jiang Banxia said, "Whether I’m out or not, it doesn’t matter. I’m going back to the villa to stay for a couple of days, my dad is coming over to pick us up, oh, I’m taking both kids too."

"Well... okay then, after I’m done with the fast taxi business, I’ll come to see the kids."

"???, How about leaving the kids with you?"

"How can that be, Ling You is okay since he’s older. But Xinyi is only one year old, how can they be away from mom."

"Hasn’t it been quite nice with them around?"

Jiang Banxia is essentially still very young, not even turning twenty-four in a few months, when it comes to having kids, her sensibility overrides other emotions, so she doesn’t feel too attached to the kids yet.

Many people only start loving their kids overflowingly when they reach forty or fifty; those who pour all their attention into the kids at twenty-something are very rare.

She hasn’t lived enough herself.

Especially kids who are a few years old, can make people furious with high blood pressure, except for grandpas and grandmas who have lived most of their life without much to look forward to, they have patience, but Li Yang doesn’t.
