Hearing Nong Qingying ask if she was dating,

Linda Yun laughed awkwardly and replied,

"If I really had a boyfriend, I wouldn't be worried. But I suddenly realized I'm heading towards thirty, and I've been a little lost lately, feeling like something's missing in my life."

After hearing this, Su's father smiled and said,

"A-Yun, how old are you? You should have a younger mindset. Or should I introduce you to someone? Once you have children, you won't have to worry about this kind of thing anymore. I remember when I was young, I was also confused for a while, and I often went to dance halls to drink and dance, but later I was busy doing business, and gradually it was nothing."

Nong Qingying also said, "That's right, you revolve around your children all day long, and you'll be exhausted from taking care of them. If you have any extra time, you just want to rest and have no time to think about other issues."

Su Yehao held the bill, carefully checking the dishes one by one, and calmly spoke the truth:

"Don't make it sound like I'm abusing you. I think you're just idle. Otherwise, I'll arrange more work for you, and you'll be busy all day long, and your life will be very fulfilling. Or take out more loans to buy a few more houses. When you think about how much money you have to pay back every month, and I deduct your bonus at every turn, you'll think that your current troubles are just small problems."

"..."

Linda Yun's face changed instantly, and she squeezed out a smile and said, "Then let's forget it. I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me..."

Originally, Nong Qingying thought that there might be something going on between Su Yehao and Linda Yun.

Because Linda Yun has never had a boyfriend.

But now, looking at the state between them, it seems that she was just overthinking. If there really was a problem, Su Yehao couldn't possibly say such sarcastic remarks without any scruples.

Nong Qingying has been with him for so many years, of course, she knows that this guy is quite nice to the women around him.

People at different ages always have different worries.

When you are young, you want to grow up, but when you grow up, you miss the happiness of childhood. From birth to adulthood, you are always闯关打怪 (chuang guan da guai, overcoming obstacles and fighting monsters). Even if you only hope to live a plain and comfortable life, it is still a very difficult dream to realize.

Linda Yun has money and a career, is healthy, and has a great appetite.

Apart from the fact that her love life seems to have been stagnant, she is already a winner in life in the eyes of others, so Su Yehao joked that she was just bored...

The hot pot restaurant is called "Little Sheep".

It is one of the better-performing chain restaurants on the market and is rapidly expanding across the country using a franchise model.

Although Su Yehao himself has not ventured into the catering industry, he has invested a lot through 5S Asset Management. After further expansion, he may be able to create several listed catering companies, such as the "Tan Yu Tou" restaurant next to this Little Sheep, which has also been financed by 5S Asset Management.

With the help of 5S Asset Management and 5S International Financial Investment Bank, it has successfully achieved the effect of leveraging a thousand pounds with four ounces.

So far.

Su Yehao has only invested about 10 billion Hong Kong dollars before and after, leveraging nearly 200 billion RMB in assets, and indirectly affecting more companies and capital.

Just counting the companies financed by 5S Asset Management, the total number has exceeded seventy.

Some only invest 10 or 20 million RMB, but have the opportunity to revitalize the entire brand, and the plan to support local enterprises has also been put on the agenda.

Multinational giants are busy clearing obstacles, acquiring many domestic brands, directly stifling them in the cradle, and keeping them in long-term hibernation.

Whether out of self-interest or support, Su Yehao has reason to intervene and raise funds from society to invest in some promising projects.

Many multinational giants no longer have much dividend, and even if they invest, they can only get a few paltry returns. Like many old international listed companies, they lack the value of growth investment.

The mainland's local brands are different.

Once they are operated well, it is very likely to earn huge returns of ten or a hundred times.

For example, the Nongfu Sanquan, which Su Yehao invested in casually, has now opened four water source production bases in Qiandao Lake, Wanlv Lake, Changbai Mountain, and Mount Emei, selling its products all over the country.

Although it is still in a state of loss on the books due to the huge investment during the market expansion period, the foundation has been almost laid, and it may take off at any time.

As an asset management company, many start-ups regard 5S Asset Management as a venture capital institution, and the private equity business is doing well. They have explored a set of "financing + strategic planning + operation and promotion + listing coordination" model to incubate potentially local projects in batches.

The 群羊效应 (qun yang xiao ying, herd effect) was vividly displayed during this period, successfully setting off a wave of follow-the-trend.

Seeing that others have made money, it has continuously attracted investors to join, which has led to a surge in the scale of private equity funds of 5S Asset Management. Other fund companies have also followed suit, increasing their investment in private equity financing and venture capital projects.

Take Little Sheep as an example.

With the favor of 5S Asset Management and Su Yehao, the company has sufficient capital, and many people are of course relieved to join.

With more franchisees, the catering company will have higher profits. As long as they do a good job in enterprise management, food safety, financial planning, etc., it is easy to achieve success and embark on a virtuous circle.

When the profit reaches a certain scale and the company meets the listing requirements, the incubated project can be sent for listing, and the book assets may immediately increase several times or even dozens of times.

This has led to the fact that compared with ordinary financial management projects, some rich people and companies with surplus money are increasingly fond of handing over their assets to 5S Asset Management to help manage them. The charm of private equity investment and venture capital is far from what a little bit of bank deposit interest can compare to.

Su Yehao and his partners not only make profits in this process, but also guide social funds into the real economy to help them expand and develop. As a result, working groups arranged by the higher authorities often visit 5S Asset Management and 5S Investment Bank to learn, which further strengthens his influence.

This has led to the idea of appropriately increasing the channels for overseas investment of funds, which was proposed by Su Yehao after the Qdii fund, and is currently being widely discussed and is likely to be implemented.

If everything goes well, he might be able to invest in some high-quality Nasdaq stocks and enjoy the dividends of the semiconductor industry development in the future.

Su Yehao's own financial resources are temporarily limited and he cannot eat other cakes. He can also earn a commission by helping people manage their finances.

Including Huijin and the Social Security Fund, they seem to be interested in his proposal and have taken the initiative to contact 5S Asset Management. The former wants to make good use of its foreign exchange assets to ensure that they do not depreciate as much as possible, and has about 50 billion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves in its hands. The latter has a funding gap and also wants to use pension funds to earn some foreign exchange to subsidize the family.

These two companies are equivalent to the mainland's sovereign wealth funds, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Once cooperation is reached with them, the scale of asset management involved will be at least in the tens of billions of US dollars.

Last year, the global net profit of 5S Asset Management barely exceeded 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. The development speed is faster than Su Yehao expected. It is estimated that it will not be too long before it becomes a mature cash cow...
