Chapter 105: She is really good at stroking the fur
Chapter 105
Wei Xuanming's expression remained unchanged as he asked, "What kind of company?"
"A gaming company."
"The gaming industry is a blue ocean, with foreign capital pouring in as well. The industry is promising, but many companies have gone bankrupt due to debt. How long has this company been in operation?"
Wei Lin thought to himself, would Li Xiaoya be able to answer such detailed questions?
He suspected she might have been duped.
It's all too easy to fool a child with money.
Especially since Wei Wenjuan and Wei Wenqing, the older ones, didn't seem to use their brains at all and only knew how to indulge Li Xiaoya. Money slipped through their fingers like water, without even blinking an eye.
With such an attitude, the old man would be crazy to entrust the family business to them.
Wei Lin's lips curled up slightly, but only halfway.
Li Xiaoya said, "It's been ten years."
"How much equity did you buy?"
"22%."
"22% equity, and after ten years of operation, they're only selling for just over 5 million... This gaming company... doesn't seem very capable. They've already missed their peak revenue period," Wei Xuanming said calmly, without even looking at the company's financial reports or needing to know specific information. "The founder probably doesn't have much of a background, likely a college startup? Their way of doing things clearly shows their inexperience. Never been through financing rounds? Without the backing of big capital, they probably can't navigate the complexities of going public."
"Is the founder an idealist? Well, idealists have their pros and cons. Those driven purely by profit would play the game of several rounds of financing and then cash out, leaving you unable to control the final outcome. You're still too young. Idealists prioritize content. All they need is a little new capital injection, bigger capital to endorse them, ensure they get on the right track, and making money won't be difficult..."
"As for how much impact 22% equity can have, and how much money it can make, that depends on whether the content in hand aligns with market trends or leads them."
Wei Xuanming spoke unhurriedly to this point.
He didn't scold Li Xiaoya, didn't say she did well, nor did he say she would inevitably suffer a big loss.
Wei Lin was stunned.
So when the old man was determined to teach someone, he really didn't mind anything.
"You're a minor, according to regulations, you should designate a direct relative as your legal guardian to exercise shareholder rights on your behalf," Wei Xuanming said in a low voice.
Wei Lin was speechless.
So the old man planned to personally keep an eye on things for his granddaughter if necessary...
Wei Lin couldn't help feeling a bit jealous.
"Yes, so I want to designate my younger uncle as my legal guardian," Li Xiaoya pointed at Wei Wenqing.
Wei Xuanming: ?
Wei Lin: ???
Wei Wenqing was also dumbfounded.
He immediately started gesticulating, "Xiaoya, I can't do it."
He couldn't even communicate normally with people, how could he be this legal guardian?
What if he messed it up...
Although Xiaoya was still young, this was her career! It was her legitimate career! And she wanted to use it to gain her father's approval!
Wei Xuanming pursed his lips.
Had she really thought this through?
Should he be happy that she cared so much about her uncles? But wasn't she afraid of not being fair? What about Wei Wenjuan?
Wei Xuanming said calmly, "If you've decided, then we'll do as you say."
Li Xiaoya nodded and said, "Let's eat!"
Wei Lin: "..."
She really wasn't nervous at all, absolutely no internal conflict, huh?
Wei Wenqing was still anxious. He grabbed the armrest of his brother's wheelchair and pushed him away, then squeezed himself next to Li Xiaoya to sit down.
Wei Wenjuan shouted angrily, "Wei Wenqing!"
Wei Wenqing tugged at Li Xiaoya's sleeve, and Li Xiaoya said, "Uncle, I want to eat that dish, but I can't reach it..."
She was small, and even stretching her arm out as far as she could, she couldn't reach the other end of the table.
Wei Wenqing immediately took the serving chopsticks and helped her get some food.
"I want to eat that too."
Wei Wenqing quickly put some shrimp in her bowl.
"And this..."
Wei Wenqing's chopsticks flew back and forth, completely forgetting about refusing earlier.
Wei Xuanming silently watched this scene unfold.
How did she know how to smooth things over like this?
Her two uncles were so much older than her, yet they were obediently managed by her.
It was strange to describe it this way, but indeed... his two sons were rarely so willingly obedient, sitting there, being "directed" by her.
Wei Xuanming sighed inwardly and finally picked up his chopsticks as well.
This conversation that had cost over 5 million yuan passed by calmly without a ripple.
After dinner, it was Wei Wenqing's turn to accompany Li Xiaoya back to her room. He held Li Xiaoya's hand, their large and small figures disappearing into the corridor.
Wei Xuanming suddenly said, "Find a painter to come tomorrow."
The old man had previously sought out Taoist priests and Buddhist monks, so finding a painter wasn't strange. Wei Lin suppressed his inner restlessness and respectfully replied, "Yes, sir."
Wei Wenqing sent Li Xiaoya to her bedroom but didn't rush to leave. He raised his hand, about to gesture.
Li Xiaoya sat on the edge of the sofa, looking up at him and said, "The food Uncle picked for me was really delicious. When I called Uncle, he immediately gave me 4.8 million yuan. In the past, when I needed to go to school and asked Grandfather Li for 20 yuan for registration fees, he told me to get lost."
Wei Wenqing's eyes reddened, and he opened his arms to hug her.
Li Xiaoya continued, "Uncle is so good to me, I want to be good to Uncle too."
Wei Wenqing froze, unable to voice his refusal anymore.
He crouched down to be at eye level with Li Xiaoya, then raised his hand to gesture: "Okay."
He would help her keep an eye on that company.
It didn't matter if they lost money, he had enough to cover for her.
Li Xiaoya took the initiative to hug his neck.
Wei Wenqing felt his eyes sting even more, and he couldn't help but hug her back.
"Uncle, you can type on your phone for others to read," Li Xiaoya told him.
Wei Wenqing nodded. She didn't know that many people wouldn't have the patience to read what was typed. Especially in a business environment... others would naturally look down on him.
Li Xiaoya continued, "Phones can play text aloud. If you turn up the volume, they'll hear your voice."
Wei Wenqing had never imagined such a scenario.
It was too strange.
The weird looks from others would also make him unbearable, making him doubt if he had embarrassed the family again.
Li Xiaoya clung to Wei Wenqing's shoulder and said very firmly, "Some people are just bad, they don't want to listen to you speak. Then use your fists to make them listen."
Wei Wenqing was startled.
Li Xiaoya let go and said, "Uncle, you should go back now, I need to do my homework."
Wei Wenqing nodded dazedly, got up and walked out. He was still in a daze even after he returned to the dining area.
Using fists... well, that's not wrong.
But who taught her that?
Wei Wenqing couldn't help but look at his brother, who had always been more acerbic and gloomy in temperament.
Wei Wenjuan: ?
Why are you looking at me? We haven't even settled the score for pushing my wheelchair earlier!
After dinner, Wei Wenqing and his brother were about to return to Guanghua Villa, and Wei Lin naturally went along.
Wei Wenqing sat in the car and fiddled with his phone, trying to input text and then use the playback function.
It was an advertisement.
Wei Wenjuan heard it and was very confused: "What are you watching? Feminine hygiene products?"
Wei Wenqing ignored his brother.
Just as Wei Lin was about to get in, he skillfully used the text playback function.
From his phone came a mechanical, cold AI voice at maximum volume: "Get lost!"
