Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Short Selling

"Are you planning to go against the Liu Family?" When Shen Silin heard Yang Yu’s idea, she casually asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Yang Yu nodded seriously, "Is there any way to strike directly at the Liu Family’s vulnerabilities?"

"There is," Shen Silin said. "The first way is to compete with them, follow their path, and leave them nowhere to go. However, this method takes too long and can’t be accomplished in a short time."

"The second method is to use the capital market to suppress the Liu Family."

"Using the capital market?" Yang Yu’s eyes lit up, "Are you talking about stocks?"

"Yes," Shen Silin said, "The Liu Family has a publicly listed company on Xiang Island called ’Liu’s Culture,’ which includes their largest cultural entertainment company and a new media advertising firm. If we can suppress the stock of Liu’s Culture, the Liu Family will not die, but they will be severely injured."

"Thanks, Silin, I’ll find someone to handle it." Yang Yu turned and left, but Shen Yan was somewhat displeased. "Mr. Shen, this Mr. Yang really doesn’t take Mr. Shen seriously."

"That’s just the way he is, you’ll get used to it." Shen Silin smiled lightly, "Even when Lan Xiaomeng was attacked, he was so furious. If I were harmed, he would definitely fight desperately, hasn’t that already been proven?"

With that said, Shen Yan suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

When Yu Ping targeted Shen Silin, Yang Yu had indeed fought as if his life depended on it!

Xue Yaodong was sleeping when a call from Yang Yu woke him up, "Ah Dong, get up, it’s time for a big move."

Realizing it was a call from Yang Yu, Xue Yaodong immediately became alert, "Brother Yu, what big move?"

Yang Yu got straight to the point, "I want to short Liu’s Culture, how much capital do we need?"

"What? Brother Yu wants to short Liu’s Culture?" Xue Yaodong was astounded, "Liu’s Culture currently has a market value of ten billion, with at least three billion in daily trading volume. To short it, you’d need a starting capital of two billion. If we encounter a skillful operator on the other side, we might need to add more money at any time."

"Two billion in starting capital?" Yang Yu frowned, "Where am I supposed to get the money?"

The Wen Family, the Xiao Family, Yuxiu Auction House, and the Bai Family had already helped him a lot last time. Even though Shen Silin had returned all those "dowries," he felt awkward asking them for money again.

Favors are one thing, but asking again before clearing the previous debts is a bit too much.

Shen Silin has money, but he felt embarrassed to ask her for it, not wanting to seem like he was being supported by a woman.

What should I do?

"Sell Earth Origin Pills!" This was the quickest solution Yang Yu could think of, five million per pill, sell four hundred pills... but that seemed a bit too outlandish.

Just then, Yang Yu received a bank deposit notification on his phone.

"Twenty billion!" Yang Yu’s face twitched, and he was momentarily stunned, "Who is this? Did someone make a mistake with the transfer?"

Suddenly, Shen Silin sent a message: Yang Yu, this is the money we’ve earned from selling burn ointment and beauty cream recently. I’m giving it to you first, and we can settle the accounts at the end of the year.

"What a great wife!" Yang Yu was so excited he almost kissed his phone passionately, thinking how considerate his wife was.

Having money, Yang Yu was brimming with confidence, "Ah Dong, I’ll give you two billion, one week, take down Liu’s Culture."

"Sure, I’ve been wanting to stretch my legs too," Xue Yaodong was equally ambitious and so excited that he couldn’t sleep, "I’m going to start making a plan now, find some friends from the inside to help, and aim to completely take down Liu’s Culture within a week!"

The Liu Family didn’t realize that someone was planning to hurt them, and Liu Zhikai and his wife didn’t take Yang Yu’s threats last night seriously.

Although Liu Zhikai thought Yang Yu was somewhat capable, he nearly knew everyone from the other nine major families in Tianhai City, but not this kid; so he soon forgot about the matter.

As for Lan Xiaomeng insisting upon waking up that it was her son, Liu Qian, who hit her, because there wasn’t enough evidence, the police could only have lawyers handle it from each side, and Liu Zhikai was not worried at all.

A mere nurse, daring to trouble the Liu Family?

Yang Yu left the matter of dealing with Liu’s Culture to Xue Yaodong, and he was not idle himself, starting to plan his own film and entertainment culture company.

The foundation of a culture company lies in scouts and agents, but nowadays, scouts are hardly needed.

With short video platforms, there are all sorts of talented amateurs; it’s enough for the agents to handle negotiations.

Thus building a team of star agents is crucial.

The problem was, Yang Yu knew nothing about the industry; formidable agents were generally snapped up by mature, wealthy companies like the Liu Family. Where could he dig up powerful star agents?

"I’ll post a job advertisement online!" Yang Yu really couldn’t think of a better method and could only resort to searching for a needle in a haystack.

Just as Yang Yu was feeling troubled, Wen Yufei arrived with Wen Yun, "Yang Yu, I heard you’re planning to start a cultural entertainment company?"

"Yes," Yang Yu nodded, "Miss Wen, did you come to me about this?"

"My secretary Wen Yun has always been fond of this industry, but for the sake of making a living, she had to enter my real estate company," said Wen Yufei, "Since you’re short on people, why not let her be a general manager or a director? With her capabilities, handling the initial work shouldn’t be a problem."

"Sure!" Yang Yu agreed readily, "I can make her a deputy general manager. I’ll handle the financial aspects, and she can take care of the rest. However, you need to show me a bit of what you can do first."

"I’ll help you poach agents from Liu’s agency," said Wen Yun, "Several of Liu’s agents’ contracts are expiring, and Liu wants to renew them cheaply. It’s all smoke and mirrors; I’ll give it a try."

"Sure," smiled Yang Yu, "If you can poach the existing agents from the Liu Family, the deputy general manager position at the company is yours."

"Good, I’ll go now." Wen Yun left Yang Yu’s office, leaving only Yang Yu and Wen Yufei.

"Last time I drank too much, thank you for taking care of me," Wen Yufei thanked Yang Yu sincerely, "and thank you for catching Lu Man for my brother, avenging him."

"You’re welcome, it’s what I should do," Yang Yu said, "Miss Wen, you’ve given your secretary to me, but what will you do now? Finding a satisfactory secretary isn’t easy."

"The important assets and businesses in the family are now handled by my dad and my third uncle’s son," Wen Yufei smiled at Yang Yu, "He finally took on the responsibility of a family elder’s son, and my grandfather also agreed to let him and my mom divorce, asking him to find another wife to bear more sons."

"So, both Wen Yun and I are out of jobs."
