The main reason is... QDII funds have no position limits, so Jiang Banxia heavily invested in two funds: one in NVIDIA, and one in NetEase.

Among them, NetEase has surged by sixty points so far this year, and NVIDIA has increased by 128%.

Yeah, Li Yang chose them for her. She didn’t focus primarily on the U.S. stocks and just hired a fund manager to execute her instructions, acting as a mascot.

If she could get a little more allowance, she might consider investing in U.S. stocks. For now, the allowance is too low, making the effort disproportionate to the gains.

Since classes are still scheduled according to winter hours in late April, Li Yang finished at six o’clock.

And Jiang Banxia left the company at half past six.

At this time, Li Yang was already waiting at the door; the restaurant wasn’t far from here, so they planned to walk.

Holding hands, Jiang Banxia appeared very lively, unlike her work demeanor.

"Master Li, this is your lucky year."

Li Yang asked, "How so?"

"See, since the beginning of the year, everything you do has been going smoothly. I have a feeling that this is just the beginning, and you’ll surprise the world."

Li Yang wasn’t going to accept this so comfortably. Even though PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds had a great start, even if the market reaches a billion scale in the future, he might only get a tenth of it or even less.

As for car manufacturing, where can you make money in these few years? After losing the chance to integrate the supply chain, his main role is just to get ahead in the race.

"It’s not that easy. I’m very likely to fail at car manufacturing and lose all the money earned elsewhere."

"Hmm?" Jiang Banxia trusted Li Yang’s judgment since he had a knack for this.

Li Yang put an arm around her shoulder, "Master Jiang surely won’t let me go hungry, right?"

Jiang Banxia confidently replied, "Definitely!"

Li Yang: "I can’t live an ordinary life; I want to live in a big house, drive luxury cars, and eat the finest food."

"No problem!"

"I also enjoy spending money. Sometimes when I see a project, I won’t consider profitability; even if it requires tens of billions or even hundreds of billions to invest, I must get it."

"Yes, yes, yes, that’s necessary, but... slow down a bit, I’m afraid I won’t earn fast enough."

"Then... I’ll invest my last billion with you, and I’ll come to you whenever I need money."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Li Yang asked, "You wouldn’t default, would you?"

Jiang Banxia said proudly, "Hmph, can’t I support Master Li? Just come to me if you need anything."

Soon, they arrived at Ruyi Hall.

Xiangnu had already been waiting in the private room.

Upon meeting, Li Yang jokingly said, "You came to Capital City on a workday; it’s not just to treat us to a meal, right? I feel you have some ulterior motive!"

Xiangnu replied irritably, "I’ve been in Capital City for half a month already. You guys were busy before, so I didn’t disturb you."

"No wonder the platform has been so popular lately. You, as the chairman, weren’t around at all, which is irresponsible to the investors."

Xiangnu: "..."

She didn’t speak to Li Yang and instead turned to Jiang Banxia, "Look at your man, his mouth never lets anyone off. You’re going to suffer in the future."

Jiang Banxia countered, "A sharp tongue isn’t enjoyment?"

"Hmm?"

"Ah?"

Li Yang nearly spat out a mouthful of water, while Xiangnu showed a hint of daze.

What the hell did Li Yang teach Jiang Banxia!

Liu Ruyi personally served the dishes and sat aside after serving.

"Did you drive?" Xiangnu asked.

"No."

"Then have a drink?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Come on, have a little..."

Jiang Banxia sipped a bit, and soon her cheeks turned red.

Li Yang’s gaze was fixed on the bottle on the table.

Year of the Goat Zodiac Moutai.

The Zodiac Moutai isn’t very cost-effective; it’s not as good as the regular Flying Moutai.

The regular Flying Moutai now has a factory price of around nine hundred and a retail price of thirteen hundred.

Actually, because of the plasticizer incident in 2013, many liquor distributors couldn’t sell their Moutai at all.

Li Yang wasn’t interested in ordinary Moutai; even if he got a bottle for a thousand, it could only sell for three thousand at most after a few years, and bulk could only sell for twenty-four hundred, with limited profit margins.

Storage costs and losses would not be cheap.

But this Year of the Goat Zodiac Moutai is unique.

Moutai introduced the Zodiac series in 2014; that year was the Year of the Horse, and the Horse Year Zodiac Moutai was 350 tons.

There’s no doubt that releasing a high-end series in the wrong context was met with cold reception and couldn’t be sold.

So the production of the 2015 Year of the Goat Zodiac Moutai was reduced to only 250 tons.

The factory price of Zodiac Moutai is only 1,300, with a market price of 2,499. Due to the production constraints, a bottle of Year of the Goat Zodiac Moutai could exceed 30,000 after a few years.

Li Yang looked at Liu Ruyi and asked, "Ruyi, can you still get the Year of the Goat Zodiac Moutai?"

Liu Ruyi thought Li Yang wanted it and quickly said, "We have over a hundred bottles in the store; I’ll have someone send them over to you tomorrow."

A bit of liquor is really nothing significant.

After getting used to Li Yang, sometimes it seems that he brazenly seeking minor advantages is quite amusing.

Moreover, whatever Li Yang does with her wouldn’t count as taking advantage.

Li Yang waved his hand and said, "What’s the use of over a hundred bottles? If Ruyi has the channels, help me get more. I want them in original boxes, say a few thousand cartons."

There are over 80,000 cartons of the Year of the Goat Zodiac Moutai in total; getting three to five thousand cartons wouldn’t significantly impact the market.
