Chapter 376 - 183: My Wife Wants Me to Lose Four Billion (Part 3)
As long as Li Yang is involved in anything, her confidence is instantly boosted.
It’s like some people need to burn incense before doing things, while she has to pay her respects to Li Yang first.
As it happens, there’s nobody at Li Yang’s house this afternoon.
A few days ago, she accompanied Dou Ying to Li Yang’s hometown, and when she only saw Xue Ning but not Li Yang, she could clearly tell Dou Ying’s expression was quite interesting.
Jiang Banxia doesn’t not care, it’s just not the time to care yet.
"Master Li... when can you let me have a taste?"
"You little flirt!"
"No, I’m not..."
...
In fact, Li Yang has been waiting for Jiang Banxia all along.
Even though he could live like this forever, humans are inherently greedy.
...
After Li Yang announced his plan to build cars, the most anxious person was Xiangnu.
Because she fears Li Yang might run out of money and unable to invest in Mouyu.
Mouyu’s current situation is that Chen Jie cashed out and left, the other two shareholders have protested several times because Red Shirt Capital had lead investor rights during the last funding, but now the lead investor rights are gone.
Xiangnu told them directly to go find Chen Jie, and if they’re unwilling, they can repurchase the shares they hold.
Of course, they were unwilling, as there was no premium, which meant they’d invested for six months without any profit.
Xiangnu also couldn’t afford a premium; one or two million would be refused, and one or two hundred million would be a huge loss for herself.
The current live streaming platforms are too cost-intensive, with very limited profit margins.
It was only when Mouyu officially started its series B round in mid-August that Xiangnu called Li Yang.
"Li Yang, where are you? How about coming to Jiangbei for a visit?"
"Huh? I’m in Jiangbei right now, just finished registering the company."
"The car manufacturing company?"
"Yes, it’s called Extreme Shadow."
"???, it has an internet vibe."
"It’s an internet-based car company."
The reason Li Yang picked this name is because of a game equipment.
This piece of game equipment called Extreme Shadow not only boosts speed but also health.
It signifies that the car is both fast and robust, emphasizing performance and safety.
The game from which this equipment comes hasn’t been released yet, and the equipment hasn’t appeared either.
He knows why Xiangnu is calling, it’s because Mouyu needs funding.
After all, if external funds don’t come in, Xiangnu would have to pour her own money in.
She doesn’t dare to invest all her funds in one project; the risk is too high.
So she asked, "Is it time for funding?"
"Yes!"
"Then let’s proceed as we discussed before; I’ll come over tomorrow."
"Really? How about I privately transfer some shares to you? According to our previous agreement, you’re at a disadvantage."
Previously, the two of them briefly discussed raising Mouyu’s valuation to 1.2 billion during series B, with Li Yang contributing 360 million for a 30% stake.
Li Yang not holding the major stake makes her uneasy.
She thinks she understands Li Yang well; this guy is quite greedy, so if he’s unwilling to hold the major stake, it means he doesn’t want to devote his attention to this.
Moreover, if he accepts such favors from her, there’s a chance they could mend their relationship.
"No need, no need, just stick to the plan, business is business, let’s not discuss anything else."
"Well... okay..."
"See you tomorrow!"
"Alright."
Li Yang hung up, and beside him, Xue Ning wound around him like a little water snake.
Xue Ning snuck over, since Li Yang hasn’t been home much lately, she hasn’t had the time to call him to the apartment.
"Xue, how many days do you plan to stay in Jiangbei?"
"Hmm, heading back tomorrow, when are you leaving?"
"How about staying a few more days? I might stay for about a week."
He plans to rent an office building, recruit a team, and at least set up the framework before school starts.
He also needs to establish a working system.
It’s still early to start properly manufacturing cars; even when it begins, it’ll mostly be hands-on work initially.
Xue Ning was very tempted but quickly said, "Better not, staying too long might get caught."
Li Yang was surprised; had Xue Ning become timid?
Is she that kind of person?
A few days ago, with her parents at home, she couldn’t wait to sneak into his room at midnight, and when chatting, he could clearly feel her barely contained impulse.
Given any chance, she certainly wouldn’t want to miss it.
Now the opportunity seems suitable, right? He has no one around, she just needs to find an excuse.
Next moment, Li Yang hugged her and said, "Xue, I want you to stay with me a few more days."
"Mmm..."
Hearing Li Yang say such things sincerely again made Xue Ning feel intoxicated.
She really likes this guy, likes every pore of him.
It’s just that... Dou Ying has found her.
Although not explicitly mentioned, Dou Ying had been inquiring about her boyfriend and discussed Li Yang and Jiang Banxia.
These things could be glossed over, but then Dou Ying said: Is your boyfriend in Capital City? Previously, I saw your account’s IP address frequently linger there.
From this statement, she could tell Dou Ying knew about her and Li Yang.
Despite being unwilling, she knew she’d have to face this eventually.
Dou Ying somewhat left her with dignity, since between her daughter and herself, Dou Ying would choose Jiang Banxia a thousand times.
No one would stand by her side, including Li Yang.
She has no parents and is a mere wastrel; she naturally shouldn’t have those things.
Love to her is inherently a luxury.
"Yangyang... I... want to leave..."
Li Yang asked, "Then what will I do if I miss Xue later?"
Xue Ning hesitated and said, "If... you want, just tell me, and I’ll come find you."
"So has Xue thought about how to live in the future?"
"I... haven’t thought it through. I’m quite dumb, lack a firm will, only you don’t despise me, and I feel that if I leave you, I’ll certainly be bullied by others."
