What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 217 Spring Breeze
Once you make money, how to spend it is a problem.

Whenever Yu Xing thought about something, he couldn't help but smile.

Secretary Zhang Yangxu was the first to notice this change. He thought about it and realized that the company had not had any particularly good news recently and was in a stage of stable development. Apart from the trip to Lin'an, nothing else seemed to have changed...

What is the boss laughing at?
You can't just be happy by watching the fun.

Zhang Yangxu didn't quite understand, but he was happy to have a relaxed working environment.

Speaking of which, since joining Bai Xiaosheng and becoming Mr. Yu's secretary, it seems that there is really no work that is too complicated or difficult.

On January 1, Zhang Yangxu saw his boss walking around and returning to the office with a smile on his face, so he followed him into the office mysteriously.

He lowered his voice and said, “Boss Yu, I may have a clue about the mountain.”

Yu Xing stopped smiling.

Not only did he not smile, but his facial expression even froze for a moment.

He looked at his secretary carefully: "Hmm?"

"That's the one that everyone is talking about now, Guo Shanfeng." Zhang Yangxu was talking about the short position that was still being analyzed on the Bai Xiaosheng forum. He took two steps closer and speculated, "I suspect that I am the one who is Guo Shanfeng... a non-staff member, responsible for collecting Paulson's dynamics."

Yu Xing looked at his secretary helplessly and reminded him in surprise: "You? You? Hey, didn't you say last time that your friend asked you to help pay attention to Paulson's information?"

Zhang Yangxu was stunned. Was this the excuse he made at the beginning?

He thought for two seconds and lied, "Yes, he might be a non-staff employee of the mountain. I am a non-staff member of the non-staff, but I am still a non-staff member."

Yu Xing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is this Guo Shan Feng so popular now? How about this, you make a business card for yourself and put this name on it."

"No, Mr. Yu, I really doubt that's the case." Zhang Yangxu explained, "I was paid to help my friend collect information. Guoshanfeng shorted three times last year. The second time was Sino-Forest, which Paulson also invested in. Then, I... I took the job from my friend. Isn't this a coincidence?"

Yu Xing said with a smile: "I ate today, and the sun rose tomorrow. I ate again tomorrow, and the sun rose again the day after tomorrow. Oh, the sun rose as soon as I ate. What a coincidence."

Zhang Yangxu felt a little discouraged when he heard his boss say that. He muttered, "I just feel... Anyway, hey, I can't put it into words."

Yu Xing had to talk to his secretary about the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon. Once you pay attention to specific information, you will find that there are many related situations around you.

When you have a hammer in your hand, all you see are nails.

If you have a mountain top, you will always encounter scammers.

As Zhang Yangxu listened to his boss citing several examples from real life, his original uncertainty gradually faded away.

He thought about it for a while, and was impressed by Shanfeng's move. He suddenly made a bold suggestion: "Mr. Yu, I have seen Shanfeng looking for fraud in listed companies. We also have a lot of information on Baixiaosheng. If we can identify and verify it, we can also short it."

Yu Xing laughed and pointed at the secretary with his finger: "If you continue like this, I won't be able to use you."

Zhang Yangxu put away the idea in dismay, guessing that the boss was unwilling to associate with short sellers.

He said awkwardly: "Boss Yu, I think too much."

Yu Xing said seriously: "You think too much!"

Zhang Yangxu's brilliant idea was shattered and he left the office in a flash.

Yu Xing took two sips of tea to calm his slightly fluctuating emotions. He thought that this two-faced man really had some clues and wanted to take the opportunity to kill him.

But he also asked Xiaoying for a summary of the secretary's recent news.

Paulson has two major moves recently. One is that he just set up a gold fund on the 1st, and the other is... he seems to be paying attention to the situation in the European financial market.

Yu Xing closed his email and thought about how to use the funds he had.

Since the mountain continues to operate, it is looking for scams, exposing scams, and taking advantage of scams. This is short selling.

However, last year there were only three moves in the whole year, which was already a good output in the industry. But this year, in addition to sniping the negative impact of Penguin Manufacturing, funds at other times also need to be planned.

Red Falcon Capital's investment belongs to one direction. However, once this kind of investment is made, the conventional exit will be relatively slow and will inevitably occupy a part of the funds.

Yu Xing had not discussed this with Xiaoying in detail, but after thinking about it, he thought that it would either be idle in the financial system or transformed into means of production. He couldn't help but think of what Ma Dian said about Bai Xiaosheng being a tinkerer and that he should be free to do big things.

Ma Dian only said that for the time being, but he could do more.

only……

Yu Xing actually feels that his current life is still in a balanced state. Bai Xiaosheng is actually much less busy than when he first started Guiai.com, and Wenrouxiang is very popular. If he can push the company to the point of going public, it would be good.

He was just thinking about the comfort of asset-light operations when there was a knock on the office door.

Secretary Zhang Yangxu came back and reported the latest news that the re-hearing date for the non-compete agreement lawsuit between Vice President Liu Hao and Zhaopin has been confirmed. The lawyer believes that the debate, investigation, and cross-examination in the last hearing were relatively complete, and this time the judgment result of the first instance may appear.

If you lose the first trial, objectively speaking, there will not be much room for victory in the second trial.

"Next week, um..." Yu Xing nodded, indicating that he understood the situation.

He thought about the matter carefully, and it was mainly about the arrangement of the company's internal recruitment team. From his own experience in the past six months, he felt that Lei Weiming, the former vice president of Zhaopin.com, who came from a sales background, was more suitable to take over the position. The development of this business still requires more efforts from the sales team.

It has been observed that Liu Hao also recognizes Lei Weiming's abilities, and Zhong Zhiling also gets along well with Lei Weiming.

Yu Xing thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called Liu Hao.

Liu Hao was the first to know about the situation. As the person involved, he naturally knew all aspects of it. His tone was very calm: "Mr. Yu, it's okay. I have been prepared for this. We have discussed this matter several times. Don't worry."

Bai Xiaosheng’s recruitment framework has been established quite clearly.

Yu Xing is very grateful to Liu Hao, and his performance in "If You Are the One" is also good.

"Mr. Liu, no matter what..." Yu Xing wanted to say something sentimental, but he got stuck and turned to a more practical thank you, "No matter what, Bai Xiaosheng will give you another big red envelope during the Chinese New Year."

Liu Hao laughed: "Boss Yu, do you know that there is one good thing about you?"

Yu Xing asked: "Which point?"

Liu Hao said: "I am willing to give it up. If possible, I would even give up the previous money. I just want the company's options. I am optimistic about the development of Bai Xiaosheng."

If the company goes public, options have more potential than bonuses.

Yu Xing could only say: "Mr. Liu, then you can just buy the company's stocks later."

Liu Hao just laughed.

Regarding the lawsuit over the non-compete agreement, both of them had pessimistic expectations.

However, the first-instance judgment on the 9th came out, ruling that Liu Hao's non-compete agreement with Zhaopin.com had been terminated, and that his subsequent joining of Baixiaosheng Company did not violate the relevant contract. This result was far beyond the expectations of the two.

In fact, Yu Xing had already had a warm-up chat with Lei Weiming about work arrangements on the evening of the 8th.

"Boss Yu, you..." Liu Hao immediately called Boss Yu, unable to hide his surprise, and asked a question, "Did you give him a red envelope?"

Yu Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Boss Liu, you think too much. I thought you were the one who did it. I just talked to Lei Weiming yesterday about the next work..."

The two were speechless on the phone for a moment.

After a while, Yu Xing asked, "Mr. Liu, do you still mean what you said before? You said you don't even want the money, you just want the options."

Liu Hao also asked back: "Boss Yu, you said you would give me a big red envelope for the New Year. Will you still give me a big red envelope? Will it be bigger?"

Yu Xing didn't respond, and couldn't help laughing: "Since you've given us a verdict that makes us excited, then... hurry back to work. You have to go and talk to Lei Weiming yourself."

Liu Hao's voice became more energetic, and he said simply, "Okay! Mr. Yu, our business will flourish this year!"

Yu Xing ended the call with a smile.

Spring has not yet arrived, but a gust of spring breeze has blown into the company first.
