I'm A Baller

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wang Yan returned to the hotel after the interesting annual gathering. He fell asleep immediately.

It was the first time he had endured for such a long time. In the end, his brain was almost dry.

However, when he woke up at 6 am, Wang Yan was well refreshed and energetic.

“Eh? The halo of effective sleep is stronger than he had expected…”

Fu Guige was a little surprised.

He had only slept for about four and a half hours, but he had recovered from the fatigue of nearly 40 sleepless hours. Although there was a factor of youth and physique, the new halo was indeed strong enough.

It was a 996 Blessing Artifact.

If it wasn’t refreshed, I could probably take care of six Wangting Yule’s jobs at the same time, as long as I was willing to sacrifice my entertainment time..

Ugh, let’s forget it.

I would just leave the work to the management as I had my own career!

Ye Ziwen’s illusion suddenly shook something strange and climbed onto the bed, muttering in a soft voice, “Wang Wang…”

Hiss, so scary!

Fu Guige suddenly shivered, shook his head, killed his ambition, and looked at the system panel.

There were two rewards inside.

[ Your mood continues to soar, and it reaches the peak at a strange moment, activating a mysterious reward ]

[ Passion Frenzy ]

[ One-time special card ]

[ Description: In a certain passion frenzy situation, you can activate this card and cover all the participants in the actual sense. ]

[ Effect: During the card duration, once a participant’s passion crosses the threshold, you will receive a reward that is equivalent o 1%-5% of the total wealth of the participant. ]

[ Card duration: 2 hours ]

What the heck!

What an awesome card!

Fu Guige only saw half of the description but he already almost went out of control. In his mind, he subconsciously thought: When will the worldwide internet conference begin?

Get a ton of pure medicine, pump it to the main venue or the hotel, and invite 500 professional and philanthropic ladies to help others for fun.

Then the stupid system would start barking..

Ding! You had received 3% of Jack Ma’s wealth!

Ding! You had received 2% of Jack Ma’s Wife’s wealth!

Ding! You had received 5% of Uncle Lei’s wealth!

…

I would then ask, I, Uncle Doggie, would be the richest Chinese in the future. Who would agrees, and who would disagrees?!

Just as he was dreaming, the System Daddy suddenly slapped him: Wake up! Look at the remarks!

[ Note 1: It must be a spontaneous carnival. No external interference is allowed. ]

Wang Yan immediately woke up and was stunned.

“This patch of yours is even faster than my flying thoughts!”

The system obviously wouldn’t intentionally patch it. That was already the limit of the card.

Moreover, there was more than one limit.

[ Note 2: There is no limit to the number of people covered. The maximum radius of coverage is 300 meters. ]

Did It mean that there was no limit to the number of people who squeezed within the 300-meter radius, except those who were beyond the radius?!

[ Note 3: The degree of excitement depends on the individual. ]

[ Note 4: Wealth = personal assets after deducting debt. Family member’s wealth is not included in the calculation. ]

One, two, three, four. A total of four notes made the divine card suddenly become rare.

It was still very impressive, but it was no longer so unsolvable.

Under the premise of not being able to use external forces to interfere, there was basically no occasion for the big shots to gather together and celebrate.

Even if there was some kind of gathering that could gather a group of big shots, no matter how much they toasted and drank happily, they were essentially empty-headed socializing. The degree of passion was definitely not enough.

So… a wave of explosive dreams could be dismissed.

At most, they could only participate in a Li Jinji banquet and mess around with those rich second-generation kids. That was the limit of this card.

“For example, the ladder of the establishment of the club?!”

Wang Yan suddenly thought of the scene of Jian Wu and the others clamoring to have a big party. He felt that this card was still worth looking forward to.

Mr. Wang and Mr. Jiang would definitely come.

The rest of the top young masters and those related to the racing circle could be invited

Huang Jiajun and Ye Ziwen would probably have a lot of friends of the same level. They would come whenever they were invited.

The second generation circle of Shanghai was big enough. A quarter of it would not be a small number

Along with Hei Hu, Brother Xu, Jian Wu, Chun Xia…

F*ck!

It could be done!

On average, each person contributed one million, and 300 people could still get 300 million!

The system’s next level of experience was a total of three billion. If he didn’t grab some extra money, when could he level up? !

Of course, it could not be porno, as the regulations had been strict recently.

However, it wasn’t illegal for booking a nightclub and hiring hundreds of top DJ. This was something worth doing!

Thinking about the possibility of getting a few hundred million, Young Master Wang was finally satisfied. He felt that this card wasn’t a waste of his humiliation of receiving money on a regular basis.

Coquettish Ye, you actually brought me luck…

I had forgotten you!

…

The second reward was even more unreasonable than the Frenzy card.

[ When you are feeling giddy due to the alcohol, flattery, and hidden fragrance, and felt the joy of a successful career for the first time, you would therefore activate a secret reward. ]

[ The Symbol of a Successful Person. ]

[ A one-time rare card. ]

The Passion Frenzy was a [ one-time special card ] , but the Symbol was a rare card.

The young master immediately perked up and continued to read.

[ You can’t tell how successful a person is just by looking at their face. Even a famous person like Warren Buffett, there are at least 1.35 billion people in China who are unable to recognize the other party from the photos. ]

[ Therefore, you need a famous watch, a luxury car, a luxury house, and a career to decorate yourself. ]

[ The more unique and rare the thing that you have, the more it will attract the attention of others. ]

[ A successful person needs a symbol. ]

[ Effect: You can make a wish on the card and obtain an item that is hard to buy with money, and use It to show your status. ]

[ Note 1: The item must exist in reality and be of high value. ]

[ Note 2: This card only provides a chance, and not directly materializes the wish item. ]

[ Note 3: In order to obtain the target, you still need to pay a price that is equivalent to its value, or even more. ]

[ Note 4: The maximum amount of your wish is 200 million. Items worth more than 200 million can not be wished for. ]

[ Note 5: if you do not have enough cash when the opportunity arrives, you will miss the target. ]

[ Note 6: This card is only valid for 30 days. ]

Six comments!

Young Master Wang was stunned for a long time.

As a qualified tycoon who knew how to use the strength of money, Wang Yan naturally knew that not everything could be bought with money.

For example, the 92 courtyard houses around Tiananmen Square were not for sale even with a 50% premium.

Another example was the shares of Huawei, which could not be bought by outsiders for any amount of money.

Wang Yan wanted to buy an American president for fun, to fight a global trade war, to fight with all of his allies, and to assist in the peaceful rise of Great China. Could he buy it?

Oh, I don’t think I need to buy that, we have spies…

In short, the Symbol Card was a magical and interesting item. If it was used well, he might be able to earn something amazing.

However, the 30-day limit was quite annoying, and he was unable to wait for the best opportunity.

What kind of opportunity was the best opportunity?

When he had money in his pocket!

Young Master Wang only had 115 million in cash. He didn’t know what would happen next month, and he might not even be able to spend enough. It was quite difficult.

But no matter what, both cards were godly cards, and they were very powerful.

Even though there were many restrictions, as long as he was good enough, he could do anything…

Right?

System Daddy had been doing well recently. Keep up the good job!

The unprecedented harvest made young master very happy, and it even brought some additional inspiration.

Not in a hurry to get up, Wang Yan started to ponder, looking at the panel, thinking about many things.

The 1% chance was really low. Strictly speaking, it should be very difficult to trigger the reward continuously.

However, the scope of the reward was too wide.

“Surprises in Life” was a very general concept. Judging from the current situation, it could basically be regarded as —

As long as the mood was good enough and happy enough, any situation could trigger.

In this way, the chance of activating it wasn’t low.

The first reward came from Ye Ziwen, or to be more precise, it came from the relaxation after the release.

The previous harvest from the stone gambling was also an indispensable source of pleasure, driving the fermentation of emotions.

The second reward came from the success of the business. Under the circumstances yesterday, becoming the absolute leader in the hearts of hundreds of employees made the young master very happy.

In addition, there were more than a hundred great beauties among the employees. Each one of them was the goddess of many men, and every time the broadcast started, they would receive many flattering fans.

In the end, all of them had to bow down to Fu Guige.

That sense of accomplishment was unparalleled.

That was why the reward was activated.

To be honest, at this point in time, spending money alone could not bring much satisfaction to Wang Yan.

Although it had only been half a year since he got the system, which was not a long time, the materialistic extravagance had made him a little bored — no, no, to be exact, he was not bored, but used to it.

The breakfast of 3,000 yuan was no longer a surprise, but an ordinary person’s soy milk and deep-fried dough sticks.

The same was true for 20,000 yuan of red wine, which was no different from happy water.

A watch worth two million could no longer bring additional confidence. It was more of a symbol of a certain level — and it was only effective for strangers.

All of the above could no longer stimulate Wang Yan’s emotions, and it became an extremely common daily routine.

There were often rich second generation “unconsciously flaunting their wealth” on the internet. In fact, they were just sharing and recording their lives. After being criticized by many people, most of them began to keep a low profile and stopped the public sharing, but the essence remained unchanged.

What ordinary people envied, in the eyes of the godly-tycoon, was really boring, tasteless, and ordinary.

Wang Yan was going through such a period of time.

This was in line with the general cycle of human adaptation to the new environment.

Generally speaking, the nouveau riche would get used to the new life between three months and half a year, and then complete the exploration of the higher level of materialistic enjoyment, starting to enter a new phase.

The new phase required a stronger stimulation, to mobilize those increasingly inflated desires, as well as an increasing threshold of excitement.

Gambling, drug addiction, usually appeared in this phase.

Indulgence, on the other hand, was in the previous phase. It was either transitioning or completely destroyed by the “new hobby”.

To be able to resist all of this, one way was self-control, and the other was a higher level of satisfaction.

At a higher level, there was self-realization, respect, and dedication.

At a lower level, higher quality materialistic items could still bring satisfaction, such as better cars and better food.

In addition, even if materialistic belongings no longer brought satisfaction, the pleasure of showing off attached to materials could be maintained for a long time.

Confucius said, “A person who doesn’t show off is not better than a salted fish.”.

Xun said, “Confucius is right.”.

Of course, Fu Guige thought that he was a noble person, a person who had broken away from low-level interests, and would never take the initiative to find an opportunity to forcefully act cool.

But — pay attention, there was a twist!

The system reward was too strong. If there was an opportunity, he had to farm it. If there was no opportunity, he had to farm it even if he had to create an opportunity.

So, how to create an opportunity?

Wang Yan felt that he had to dig deep into his heart and find it from the depths of his heart.

Life was always a cultivation which should not stop.

When he understood this, the young master suddenly became excited and recited a poem.

The world was like a thin veil over the year, which made the rider of the horse be a guest to Jinghua.

Listening to the sound of the rain in the spring at the small building, deep in the alley, selling apricot flowers in the next morning.

Practicing writing leisurely and drinking tea by the clear window.

The plain clothes never rose and the dust lamented, just as I could reach home when the day was clear and bright.

Only after the great poet Wang finished reciting did he realize that the timing, the scene, the situation, and the explicit metaphors were all just right.

F*ck, I’m really a man with a treasure in my heart…

It was time to get up.

…

Before Wang Yan went out, there were already friends waiting in the cafeteria.

The group of friends who were closer to the club all got up early and came to the hotel, chatting.

“Master Wang, today we drove all the good cars here. We’ll definitely blow them up later!”

The one who spoke was Xiao Fang. He was a young man with an extremely flamboyant personality. He was actually eight years older than Wang Yan.

The young man’s brain was hurting.

“I’m running an entertainment company. Why are you blowing up the streets so early in the morning?”

“For attention!”

A bunch of stupid sand sculptures were all so proud of themselves.

Wang Yan did not think that this was a good thing. The company was full of female streamers. Upon launch they were associated with a large group of rich second-generation heirs. It would not sound good if it was spread out.

Brother Hu, Brother Xu, Jian Wu, and the more mature brothers did not get involved in the mess.

However, since they were already here, they could not go back. Let It be.

“Be careful, don’t cause trouble for me later!”

Wang Yan’s prestige was different from previously. He didn’t need to be so cautious anymore and took the initiative to warn the group of sand sculptures.

“Don’t worry, Master Wang!”

“Hurry up and finish eating. President, you lead the way. Let’s go!”

Wang Yan took a simple bite and was escorted out of the door by everyone.

When he went downstairs to take a look, he saw that they were going to be photographed all the way.

He was too lazy to count the cars one by one. With a glance, he could tell that there were basically no cars below four million. They were all top-class Supercars.

As soon as the engine started, the street roared and attracted a lot of attention.

How smooth could the traffic be in Shanghai in the morning? Indeed, it was photographed all the way.

Fortunately, the Haiguang Building was not far away, so it would not be ostentatious all over the city.

When he arrived at the parking lot of the building, the security guard saw this scene and immediately quivered. He nearly cried.

Oh my God, they were all cars that had just been sent away some time ago. Why were they here again?

Without saying a word, he opened the railing.

After parking the car, they went upstairs from the underground parking lot. Only then did the four elevators fit everyone.

When they reached the first floor, the elevator doors opened. When the white-collar workers who were ready to go to work saw the group of young masters inside, and all of them were casually turning their car keys and staring at them expressionlessly, they did not dare to squeeze in after thinking for a while.

They did not dare to discuss until the elevator went up.

“What are they doing?”

“They look so scary…”

“Are they here to congratulate the new company on the 18th floor?”

“Should be. I heard that the company has a very sound background…”

“I’m not sure about that, but there are really many beautiful women. I met seven or eight of them when I took the elevator yesterday.”

“Tch! Which bigger company can’t find seven or eight beautiful women?!”

“Hehe! You’ll understand when you see it for yourself…”

When this group of white-collar workers took the next elevator to the company, they found out that many of their colleagues were discussing the same thing.

Gradually, the news spread in the whole building. A new company opened on the 18th floor. There were as many beautiful women as the clouds, and the background was sound. The floor had its own floor, and the boss was mysterious…

That company was called — Wangting Yule.

…

Wang Yan had just arrived upstairs, and he was already busy.

The opening was a big event, and there were many guests.

There was a round of partners like Meng Niu. Platforms like Fish and Tiger would definitely send representatives, and merchants who hoped that Wang Yan would quickly organize the fourth big eater competition, was another round…

Not counting personal friends, Wangting Yule itself was already a very influential company.

It was not because of its market value, but the resources it could provide. Currently, it was both unique and powerful.

After spending the whole morning with different guests, at 11:18 pm, they removed the red silk signboard at the door. Finally, it was done.

Next, they moved to the restaurant and held a feast for the guests.

At this time, it was not so noisy. When people of the same level sat at the same table, no one would force Wang Yan to drink. Moreover, Wang Yan was not the only big shot in the venue.

The bosses of the three platforms, Fish, Tiger, and Dragon, had come in person. They valued Wangting Yule very much as a partner, and the COO of Momo, Wang Li inexplicably came to join in the fun.

In addition, there was Chu Hong, some of the leaders of the departments in charge, Taobao executives, Young Master Wang, steamed cake boss, and so on..

They formed a rather impressive lineup.

Sitting at the head seat, Chief Wang couldn’t help but exclaim, “Unknowingly, I’m already in this position…”

However, the position did not have much use. In the afternoon, he was being pestered by the pack of hungry wolves.

The platform fought for the right to host the next event. The merchants fought for the right to sponsor. The leaders wanted to talk to express their encouragement. Mr. Wang came to ask for money.

Wang Yan did not pay much attention to other things. He just gave a perfunctory reply.

Mr. Wang put in a lot of effort.

This big brother rarely gave face. He actually attended Wangting Yule’s luncheon. It was like he had changed his personality.

Half of the reason was probably due to the car race last time.

The 10 minutes of Song Huizong’s possession didn’t seem to be of much use on the surface, but it was actually quite impressive.

The people in VIP Hall One were all very impressed by the Emperor Wang.

The benefits of whipping Huang Yiqing might last for a long time and be far-reaching.

Since Mr. Wang was willing to have a good talk, Wang Yan had a good talk with him.

30 million, taking 3% of the shares and valuing it at one billion was a relatively fair price.

The live broadcast industry was at the stage where it was about to explode. By the second half of the year, it would definitely not be at this price.

Therefore, although the shares were small, Wang Yan was satisfied. Round A was actually an admission ticket.

Then, the betting agreement was compared to other companies.

Three years later, in February of 2019, if the listing process was still unable to start, the shares would be repurchased at a price of 38 million.

The annualized return was about 8% .

However, during the Round B financing, Wang Yan had to continue to invest and guarantee to hold about 5% of the shares.

Of course, the valuation at that time would be seriously inflated, and the betting agreement would have to be adjusted.

It could be as soon as the second half of the year.

“Actually, I don’t lack your 30 million. The conditions you received were very favorable, do you understand?”

Mr. Wang spoke confidently. His aura was still as firm as ever, and the cooperation was like giving alms.

Fu Guige nodded perfunctorily. “Okay, thank you.”

He was too lazy to fight for a face-to-face victory or defeat. There was no benefit, so he would be wasting his saliva.

However, Mr. Wang was a little too much. “So the main investor must be Wangting Yule.”

He couldn’t be indulged like this.

Want to pull Wangting Yule onto the war chariot? Dream on!

Wangting Yule immediately shook his head. “Wangting Yule doesn’t have money, and the other shareholders will have objections.”

After more than a dozen exchanges of heated words, Wang Yan refused to agree. Mr. Wang was at his wit’s end.

“Then at least you can’t use your personal name, right? To be honest, your name is really worthless outside.”

Wang Yan didn’t care and took a step back. “Okay, invest in this money, Jingyan.”

“Then that’s it. Hurry up and sign the contract.”

After the agreement was settled, Mr. Wang didn’t stay for a minute longer. He left in a hurry.

Wang Siming’s goal wasn’t completely achieved. Wang Yan’s goal was achieved.

Spending 30 million yuan was not a loss even if Panda went on the market. If it were not for the fact that Wangting Yule’s resources were a necessity, he would not have been able to do something as good as valuing one billion yuan.

Mr. Wang was afraid that Wang Yan would run away after taking advantage of him, so he wanted to set a limit in Round B. Little did he know that that was Wang Yan’s original intention.

How could his appetite be satisfied with just 3% ?

The line had already been laid, so Wang Yan didn’t think too much about it and threw it to the back of his mind.

He temporarily didn’t need the Panda Bear’s idle chess piece. He would make another move in the second half of the year, and then it would be a long wait.

It was hard to say what exactly he would gain at the moment, but he just had to wait and see!

February in 2019 was not far away.

…

The last person Wang Yan met was the COO of Momo.

Momo was originally a platform for strangers to make friends, but in reality, it was a dating app. Recently, his life hadn’t been easy.

How should I put it?

The target in his mind was WeChat, but in reality, it was a pimp’s nest.

According to Xia Yu, the biggest young model agency in the country was Momo, which had completely replaced the position of Ko in the past.

A group of 500 young models could fly for 10,000 to 50,000 yuan each time. The reputation agency could even pick, check, and trade, and the business had already reached Malaysia and Singapore.

The monthly live data was 60 million, and the profitability was about zero.

If this continued, all the investors would die.

Therefore, Director Wang came to Wang Yan for help.

“Chief Wang, our Momo is currently developing version 6.7. It will have a live broadcast function, and the exact date will be around mid-march…”

Bala Bala gave a brief introduction, and at the end, she hinted that she needed Fu Guige.

Oh?

Your goal was pretty clear..

Wangting Yule asked meaningfully, “Are you sure that you need Wang Fugui and not Wangting Entertainment?”

“Yes.”

Interesting!

Wangting Yule was actually a symbol in the live broadcast industry, representing the biggest tycoon.

Asking Wangting Yule to appear was to make a name for himself.

“What do I get?”

“We’ll pay for all the expenses. The rewards should be distributed to individual streamers. As a reward, Wangting Yule will receive the best treatment from the Guild.”

This was a shopping mall…

Wang Yan was a little surprised but also very impressed.

“President Wang, may I ask, whose idea was it?”

“It was President Tang’s idea. The management agreed unanimously.”

“Send my regards to President Tang., and I agree, too.”

Wang Yan nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Every company’s situation was different, so their demands were naturally different.

Momo was different from Panda. They did not lack beautiful women, but they lacked the strength of trust.

It was not impossible to nurture them slowly, but how could it be as sensational as Wang Fugui?

To be able to find the core of the conflict and do the most efficient thing, it seemed that not only would Momo not die, but she would also live a good life.

It was not shameful to lose to WeChat, and it was rare to have the courage to transform.

Wang Yan did not mind helping out such a partner.

It sounded a little crazy, but President Wang did not feel that no matter how big Momo was, it was in another field. In the live broadcast world, no one had a stronger influence than Wang Yan.

They were all younger brothers.

“Okay, okay. I represent the management to express our gratitude for President Wang’s friendship. If you have time to come to capital, please come to the company to take a look…”

President Wang thanked him profusely, giving him enough face.

After chatting about the details, Wang Yan sent President Wang off and returned to the office to do some calculations. He was shocked.

Taobao, Momo, Fish, Tiger, Cat, and Dragon…

Have I already covered all the platforms?

Without realizing it, the best treatment for all the big platforms had been obtained. Next, he would purchase a sufficient quantity of small platforms, and the demon king behind the scenes would officially take shape?

Oh my, how could it be so easy?

I had not encountered any challenges at all…

For some of the things, when we were a step faster, we would be just one moment faster. However, when we were 10 steps faster, it would be a lifetime faster.

After Wang Yan had decided on his strategy, he did not care much about it. He came back to clean up the mountains and rivers, drew his sword, and looked around, but he was at a loss.

In his eyes, he was invincible.
