Chapter 417 - 197: Profit-Taking Mindset
The 2015 global Forbes billionaire list has been released.
Jiang Banxia, with a net worth of 1.8 billion US Dollars, is ranked 863rd in the world.
On the 2015 Forbes China Rich List, Jiang Banxia is ranked 120th.
As for the young entrepreneur list, it’s no surprise she ranks first, and there’s no one who can compete with her.
Wearing a little suit, Jiang Banxia appears particularly capable in Li Yang’s eyes.
If not for knowing her identity, one would surely mistake her for a newcomer in the workplace.
But in reality, she is a master of manipulating people’s hearts.
Jiang Banxia’s schedule is actually quite full every day, with many people wanting to meet her, and quite a few companies wanting to collaborate with Wanliu Capital.
However, most are refused by Li Yang, since he is her assistant.
But some are not so easy to decline, like some important media interviews, ones that can be on the 7 o’clock channel.
Li Yang also managed to sneak into the shot.
In fact, Li Yang is quite a figure himself, considering the size of his entrepreneurial projects.
Though... he doesn’t have much to show for it.
Moreover, his entrepreneurship is different from others, as he doesn’t focus on gathering strength for research and development, nor does he overcome numerous challenges in operations and integration.
He simply has money, and everything is built on pouring in cash.
This process just requires having hands, and ironically, the hardest part is the management of the company.
Yet at the beginning stage of a startup, there’s hardly any chance for management, so Li Yang doesn’t stand out in several startup projects.
Just like decades ago, when a startup team was born, apart from setting a general guideline, everything else developed independently. As the entire team gradually matured, some management systems were established.
By the time entrepreneurship succeeded, the entire system was improved, and management and operations proceeded hand in hand.
At that time, Li Yang was interviewed as well, but the footage wasn’t shown. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The reporter asked Li Yang a question: "Mr. Li, now as an entrepreneur, do you have any insights on entrepreneurship?"
"Entrepreneurship? Well... anyone with 4 billion could reach where I am now, right?"
This kind of negative answer would definitely be passed over, and Li Yang couldn’t lie through his teeth giving a lecture.
His philosophy is doomed to be different from most people, as he doesn’t worry about costs, just an okay outcome.
Besides, he originally just wanted to run a small business; large corporation management and such are too troublesome.
Starry Escape Room is pretty good.
Every day he is responsible for the opening operations of Starry Escape Room, as well as the promotion work of the app.
Currently, the Star Hall app has one million registered users, with many girls posting photos in the community to fish for attention.
When Jiang Banxia returned, she saw Li Yang sitting in the living room in front of the computer, handling matters concerning Starry Escape Room.
This is a situation she does not understand, as any of the projects Li Yang invests in has a scale larger than Starry Escape Room.
But actually, the effort Li Yang puts into Starry Escape Room is the greatest.
He’s created three or four related groups and handles numerous matters daily.
He’s even given many beautiful customers of Starry Escape Room a consultant title, responsible every day for sharing their lives in the app community, participating in five Starry Escape Room events every month, with a base salary of two thousand every month.
Checking into Starry Escape Rooms nationwide reimburses travel costs, with additional income as well.
When Jiang Banxia approached, she saw Li Yang reviewing photos in the consultant group.
All were beauties.
"Master Li, surely you don’t intend to integrate resources to do the most profitable business, do you?"
"Pah, pah, pah! How can a serious guy like me think about such things?"
"Then why are you putting so much effort into Starry Escape Room? What about Extreme Shadow Cars? Even though you don’t lack money now..."
After replying to the group, Li Yang said to Jiang Banxia, "Actually, I need to learn a lot now. Extreme Shadow Cars don’t require much of my involvement at the moment, as long as I direct the resources correctly. But in the future, if Extreme Shadow Cars becomes a large group, I won’t have it so easy. Though I studied management, book knowledge is ultimately limited, and I lack the confidence to manage a large group well."
Jiang Banxia listened seriously.
Li Yang continued, "So, I’m using Starry Escape Room to practice. The marketing and management of Starry Escape Room are much easier. From employee work morale to the entire company’s future planning direction, compared to large groups, it’s a very basic project. If I can’t even do well with Starry Escape Room, then I wouldn’t have a shot with anything else."
Jiang Banxia nodded.
At any time, she could learn something from Li Yang.
"Then I won’t disturb you, Master Li. I’ll go take a bath first."
"Sure, sure, I’ll cook in a while."
Just as Li Yang was checking the series of data for Starry Escape Room, he received a message on WeChat from Li Xiao.
"Li Yang, still in Capital City? Shall we sit down and chat?"
Li Xiao, at forty-four, is even older than Li Likun, yet he never changed how he calls Li Yang.
Li Yang quickly replied, "Here, brother. What’s up?"
"It’s like this: I want to sell some Bitcoin. Thinking about it, only you have the capability to handle it, so I’d like to talk seriously with you..."
Li Xiao is actually wealthy.
He was originally a senior lecturer at New Oriental and, after resigning, started a consulting company specializing in services for studying abroad, earning quite a bit.
However, now he’s obsessed with Bitcoin, and has handed the company over to someone else for management, with unsatisfactory overall results.
