"Don’t worry, Aunt Tang."
"We’ve already worked together once."
Lin Feng smiled, looking up and speaking with calm confidence.
"This will be the second time, and I believe our cooperation will be just as pleasant."
"I was wondering, Aunt Tang, how much are you planning to invest?"
Actually, Aunt Tang had already come with a rough figure in mind.
Now, after her conversation with Lin Feng,
she couldn’t help but increase that mental figure a bit more.
"Thirty million. I’ll give you thirty million in capital. I hope, Mr. Lin, that you can maintain the kind of return rate you’ve promised!"
Aunt Tang was willing to give Lin Feng thirty million to invest, but she was really just testing the waters.
After all, her liquid investment capital was far greater than thirty million.
But this was her first time formally cooperating with Lin Feng, and she didn’t know him very well before this.
So, the thirty million served as a feeler.
If Lin Feng managed the thirty million well,
even if the final return on investment didn’t reach two percent, Aunt Tang would still continue to work with him.
After all, who can really be certain when it comes to investing?
Aunt Tang just wanted to use this thirty million to test Lin Feng’s true abilities,
as well as the capabilities of the investment firm operating behind him.
When Lin Feng heard the amount Aunt Tang offered, he basically understood what she was thinking.
After all, an investment big enough for her to sell her house definitely wouldn’t be just thirty million.
So Lin Feng just nodded. "Alright. Regarding the specific contract for this thirty-million-dollar investment, I’ll have Huizi and her team coordinate with you."
Aunt Tang nodded.
With the serious business concluded, Aunt Tang relaxed considerably.
Somehow, the conversation drifted to her son.
"You know, I really admire you, Mr. Lin."
Aunt Tang said, looking at Lin Feng with a smile.
And Lin Feng could genuinely see the admiration in her expression.
"Speaking of my own disappointing son, he doesn’t have your adventurous, fighting spirit."
"All he likes is stability."
As she said this, her face showed a deep sense of frustration, disappointed that he wasn’t living up to his potential.
"But I can tell,"
"you’re a very adventurous person, Aunt Tang!"
Lin Feng said, looking at her with a teasing smile.
Aunt Tang nodded. "I am. In short, I can’t stand being idle."
"My son is just too dull. Actually, there isn’t much of an age difference between you two."
"He just got married this year. When there’s a chance, I’ll introduce you."
"I’m hoping that if you two become friends, some of your energy might rub off on him."
At this, Aunt Tang smiled at Lin Feng, as if seeking his approval.
Naturally, Lin Feng had no objections.
After all, Aunt Tang was a woman with a net worth in the billions, no matter how you looked at it.
Even if her son was a disappointment, he was still a bona fide rich heir.
Lin Feng understood a core principle: sometimes, capital isn’t everything. Connections are.
So if he could integrate into Aunt Tang’s social circle,
then he wouldn’t have to worry about future sources of capital for his investment firm.
Moreover, many problems could be smoothed over entirely through these kinds of friendly relationships.
A strong network was a huge, immeasurable form of wealth.
By the time Lin Feng and Aunt Tang parted ways,
she had already sent her son’s contact information to him,
telling Lin Feng to take her son out to have some fun the next time he was back for a holiday.
After his meal with Aunt Tang ended, Lin Feng got in his car and drove home.
In reality, there were only a couple of days left in his vacation.
By the time Aunt Tang’s funds arrived,
Lin Feng would probably already be back in Yang City.
The thought that his capital would be more or less fully prepared by the time he returned to Yang City
made Lin Feng’s heart surge with excitement.
After all, that stock market trend prediction card he had...
...he still hadn’t used it.
’I’ll use this stock market trend prediction card to build a solid foundation for my investment company.’
And for the current Lin Feng,
the priority was still to raise as much capital as possible. ’The more money, the better!’
「Half an hour later.」
Lin Feng arrived home.
He saw Lin Jiandong standing in the entryway, holding a newspaper with a helpless look on his face.
"Dad, why aren’t you in the living room?"
"What are you doing standing here?"
Lin Feng walked over, a little puzzled.
Lin Jiandong tossed the newspaper onto the shoe cabinet with a look of resignation. "What kind of nonsense have you been feeding your sister?"
"She’s been holed up in her room all day and hasn’t come out once."
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. Just as he walked up to his sister Lin Xiaoman’s door,
he heard the sound of thumping music.
A huge wave of sound washed over him from behind the door.
No wonder Lin Jiandong was standing near the front door to read his newspaper.
’It really is a bit loud.’
Lin Feng was also a bit confused. He had clearly told Lin Xiaoman to do live streams about fashion and outfits.
’Why is there such wild music coming from her room?’
Without hesitation, Lin Feng took advantage of a gap between songs to knock sharply on Lin Xiaoman’s door.
It was a stroke of luck for Lin Feng.
Lin Xiaoman actually heard the knock.
Not long after, the blaring music from inside the room stopped.
Then Lin Xiaoman opened the door.
The moment she saw Lin Feng, a smile bloomed on her face. "Bro, you’re back pretty early today!"
Lin Feng pointed to the sky outside the window, which was already completely dark. "Not early at all. It’s already seven or eight at night!"
"Oh, it’s that late already? No wonder I’m hungry."
Lin Xiaoman rubbed her little stomach and turned to dart into the kitchen to find something to eat.
Lin Feng grabbed the back of her collar. "Hey, you can eat in a minute!"
"What were you doing cooped up in your room all day?"
"And blasting such loud music?"
Lin Xiaoman blinked, looking at Lin Feng with an innocent expression. "But Bro, weren’t you the one who encouraged me to start streaming?"
"I was just experimenting today!"
Before Lin Feng could even ask, Lin Jiandong, who had been listening from the side, groggily put two and two together.
"You rascal, why would you tell your sister to become a live streamer?"
"She’s so young, what’s this about being a streamer?"
Lin Jiandong walked over and shot Lin Feng a glare.
Lin Feng shrugged helplessly.
"Dad, I was just thinking that Xiaoman should do something she enjoys."
"She loves dressing up and doing her makeup. Being a streamer to share that stuff isn’t so bad, is it?"
The moment he heard his father’s words, Lin Feng knew that people of Lin Jiandong’s generation still held some prejudice against the profession of streaming.
However, Lin Feng also knew that his parents’ soft spot was, in fact, their children.
As long as Xiaoman herself was willing, Lin Jiandong and He Yue would ultimately respect her own thoughts and wishes.
Sure enough, after hearing Lin Feng’s explanation,
Lin Jiandong hesitated for a moment, then took his newspaper and went into the kitchen.
"Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. Always fooling around all day..."
The familiar nagging voice started up again.
Lin Feng and Lin Xiaoman, brother and sister, looked at each other and smiled.
