My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 164 What is it like to have a net worth of over a hundred million?

Chapter 164: Chapter 164 What is it like to have a net worth of over a hundred million?

On Monday, Yu Qiao Qiao had a class activity and wasn’t at the company.

Lu Man was at Eastern Film City, where the new film shooting was in full swing.

Both virtual girlfriends had their own things to do, so Chen Yan had some rare free time.

He simply took a day off for himself, using the excuse of "looking for inspiration." He moved the PS4 that Boss Qiao Qiao had given him to his office and played games all morning.

At noon, while eating, Chen Yan received a call from Song Chuang.

At that time, Chen Yan was maneuvering his game character and had just knocked down a tile, when he heard his phone ring, he glanced at it.

Seeing it was Song Chuang calling, he put down the controller, picked up the phone, sandwiched it between his ear and shoulder, and continued playing the game.

Once he answered, he heard Song Chuang’s voice, "Boss Chen, good news. Our company is finally set up."

Hearing what Song Chuang said, while Chen Yan continued to tap tiles in the game, he casually replied, "You’ve been out of touch for a few days. I thought you had run off."

Song Chuang laughed and then explained, "I returned to Tiandu and visited a few old friends to gather some wisdom, so I’ve been a bit busy."

He continued, "This trip wasn’t fruitless. I made some adjustments to our preliminary plans."

"I think since you are not short of cash, establishing a company from scratch would take too long and the procedures are cumbersome."

"For example, the movie distribution license takes several months to approve, and they generally require producing two movies before issuing it."

"Similarly, obtaining the broadcast television program production and operation license also involves many procedures."

"So, I thought about it and felt that it’s quite troublesome; it might be better to just acquire a shell company."

Hearing Song Chuang’s words, Chen Yan paused his game, somewhat surprised, and asked, "So, you’ve acquired a company these past few days?"

Song Chuang replied, "Yes. I negotiated with a friend for several days and finally acquired his company for 2.11 million."

"There’s nothing else special about his company except that it has all the necessary permits. Whether it’s for movies, TV shows, or variety shows, it has complete qualifications for distribution and production."

"By purchasing it, we won’t face any blocks in the film and television industry production and distribution."

"Even if Chenlu Film Company wants to produce relevant projects in the future, they can directly affiliate with the new company. This saves the hassle of processing various certifications and qualifications."

After hearing Song Chuang’s words, Chen Yan thought for a while and finally agreed, "Okay, you make the call on this. As long as the expense is reasonable, I have no issues on my end."

Song Chuang had obviously anticipated Chen Yan’s agreement, so he wasn’t at all surprised. After chatting a bit more with Chen Yan, he hung up.

But after hanging up the phone, Chen Yan didn’t resume playing his game; instead, he sat frowning in deep thought.

He always felt that since he had told Song Chuang to spend money as his KPI, Song Chuang seemed a bit too unrestrained, as if taking him for a cash cow.

They had clearly agreed on registering a company, but Song Chuang took it upon himself to buy a company.

While his reasoning was legitimate, this kind of decision-making without prior consultation made Chen Yan more suspicious of him.

Worried that he might become uncontrollable and engage in activities like kickbacks or embezzling company funds.

Once this thought occurred, Chen Yan decided to verify it.

The simplest verification method was to call Song Chuang back, question him about the matter, and then use the "Inner Heart Headphones" to verify his truthfulness.

But now, since Song Chuang was busy outside, calling him back directly would clearly show his distrust.

This could be detrimental to the development of the new company.

So, after thinking for a while, Chen Yan decided to use another method to verify: giving Song Chuang money.

Yes, just giving money.

Although the game is quite lenient with its cheating penalties, if Song Chuang pocketed these funds without benefiting Lu Man’s profession, the system likely wouldn’t recognize this money as the expenditure for "nurturing Lu Man."

So, thinking of that, Chen Yan first transferred ten thousand to Song Chuang, claiming it as expenses for his recent business travels.

Song Chuang was surprised to receive the money and repeatedly declined, saying he had enough funds.

But at Chen Yan’s insistence, he accepted the money.

After he accepted it, Chen Yan waited five minutes and checked the game’s "Profession Wealth."

It had increased by ten thousand.

Chen Yan could pretty much confirm that Song Chuang was indeed earnestly working on the new company. At least, according to the game, the money Song Chuang had spent in the past few days was useful.

Following this, Chen Yan also received the company details Song Chuang had sent.

Chen Yan checked the company’s information and also looked it up online. After confirming there were no issues, he finally felt relieved...

It seems his new subordinate just has a strong will and likes making decisions on his own without any ill intentions....

...

The next day, Song Chuang leveraged some connections, and everything regarding the company’s changes was handled.

From then on, the company named Tian Dou Film Distribution Company officially became one of Chen Yan’s subsidiaries.

After the company was established, Song Chuang transferred the remaining over seven million of public funds into the company’s account, and reported all the relevant account details to Chen Yan.

After verifying everything was in order, Chen Yan funded the company account with another 42.11 million, topping up the total funds to 50 million.

These funds would serve as the startup capital for the new company and preemptive distribution costs for the first movie.

Chen Yan also promised that as long as Song Chuang could spend it reasonably, follow-up funding would continue!

Seeing Chen Yan’s continued generosity, Song Chuang was in high spirits and assured Chen Yan, patting his chest: he would definitely spend this money effectively and not let Chen Yan down!

...

After hanging up, Chen Yan opened the game and checked his Profession Wealth, which had silently reached 42.12 million.

Chen Yan clicked withdraw.

Suddenly, a prompt popped up, [Detected that player’s cumulative cash back has exceeded 100 million, the game will change the withdrawal method. Players must keep at least 10 million cash on hand. If the cash is insufficient, leading to incomplete withdrawals, the game will not compensate.]

Since Chen Yan had seen this game prompt before, he was not surprised that the withdrawal method would change.

He was curious what the next method would be.

And if he could make some extra money through this withdrawal method...

While thinking about this, Chen Yan withdrew the 42.12 million in profession wealth. freewebnøvel.com

The 42.12 million in profession wealth turned into over 80 million after withdrawal, making Chen Yan’s operation this time much more complex and cumbersome.

The game even provided a batch processing method.

When the value of over eighty million in special coins was disposed of in batches, the special coins market started to fluctuate violently.

But amazingly, after Chen Yan sold the last batch of special coins, he calculated the balance in his account, and he had exactly gained 84.24 million in cash!

This gave Chen Yan a certain understanding of the game’s precise calculations.

And adding the newly accounted over 80 million in cash, along with the 11 million cash Chen Yan had in his card, his total assets unsurprisingly surpassed one hundred million, with cash amounting to over 95 million.

Holding such a vast amount of cash, Chen Yan, now a billionaire, felt somewhat bewildered.

Is it this simple?

Has a small target been achieved just like that?

It feels a bit like a dream, doesn’t it?

And why...

He looked down at the half-eaten spicy hotpot on his desk.

The spicy hotpot was served in a plastic box, covered by a plastic bag, looking cheap and tacky.

Chen Yan was silent for a while.

"A billionaire, and this is what I eat?"

Thinking of this, Chen Yan directly tossed the spicy hotpot into the trash bin, then decided to order some lobster and abalone instead.

He picked up his phone, opened a food delivery app, but after looking for a long time, he couldn’t find lobster and abalone, only crayfish and abalone sauce.

Chen Yan was silent for a while and ordered three servings of crayfish...

One in thirteen spices, one spicy, and one garlic.

Well, crayfish is still lobster, after all...

Then, Chen Yan, leaning on the table, opened a well-known knowledge-sharing website and typed in a few questions:

[What’s it like to have a net worth of a hundred million?]

[What does it mean to hold a hundred million in cash?]

[What should someone with a net worth of over a hundred million eat?]

Time flew by, and when Chen Yan raised his head from these questions and answers, he checked his watch and realized that one and a half hours had already passed.

He frowned and looked outside: Why hasn’t the takeaway arrived yet?

He opened his phone and checked, the delivery guy hadn’t even picked up the order, but had messaged him saying it was the peak dining hour and the system had forcibly assigned orders which he couldn’t refuse. But he had too many orders and couldn’t make it, and asked if Chen Yan could cancel the order.

Chen Yan was silent for a while, then cancelled the order.

Then, looking at the spicy hotpot thrown in the trash can, he felt like crying: It seems a billionaire really doesn’t eat stuff like spicy hotpot, because they can’t even get it when they want...

...

After keeping himself busy for several hours, Chen Yan finally believed: Even after becoming a billionaire, he was still just an ordinary person with an ordinary life.

He didn’t know how other billionaires lived. But for him, life was the same as before, playing games, eating takeout, walking home from work.

Nothing in his life changed.

The next morning, billionaire Chen Yan got up in his ordinary house, dressed in plain clothes, and then yawned and rinsed his mouth.

Today he had agreed to help Yu Qiao move houses.
