Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Chapter 454: I'm Not Going Back to China



Vipshop went public in the US in 2012, and the stock price hovered around four US dollars for quite some time before it began to steadily rise in 2013.

But to be honest, during this period, Eastern enterprises listing in the US were generally on a steady rise; investors at this stage weren't considering earning or losing money but rather how to make more money.

Especially after 2014 when a whirlwind of the internet trend swept across the country, many people were saying that even pigs could fly if they stood at the right spot.

However, in reality, most of the capital was still on Wall Street, being manipulated by those financial giants.

While Boss Ma was making waves domestically, most of the capital began to shift towards the domestic internet industry, and there were only a few e-commerce companies listed domestically.

Vipshop was considered a well-developed enterprise.

Of course, concurrently, well-known companies like Yiche and Dangdang were also in the picture.

But in terms of corporate management structure, Vipshop was clearly more solid.

In 2012, they began self-funding and constructing a warehousing system, and in 2013, their net revenue was 1.4 billion US dollars, equivalent to 10.6 billion in local currency.

The sudden surge in the second half of 2014 was also attributed to the half-year financial report released in June; for the first half of 2014, the net revenue was 2 billion US dollars, approximately 16 billion, surpassing the entire year of 2013 in just half a year by fifty percent more.

That year, famous domestic e-commerce companies like Jingdong went public in the US, but compared to these not-so-clear-cut companies, after careful deliberation, the financial giants decided to start with Vipshop.

Thus, in the second half of 2014, this Eastern e-commerce company stood out from the rest.

From June 2014, surging from 120 to 200 US dollars in less than a month.

That afternoon, both Zhou Yuwen and Lu Wanting were on edge; Lu Wanting almost despaired, fearing their 5 million US dollars might evaporate in an instant, but at that moment, a stunning bullish candlestick appeared abruptly.

The last fifteen minutes saw a sharp increase.

At the close, it broke through by more than ten points.

Zhou Yuwen now held 2% of Vipshop's stock, valued at 120 million US dollars.

In just one day, it rose by ten percent.

That is to say, 12 million!

Zhou Yuwen asked Lu Wanting, how much did we earn today?

Lu Wanting excitedly told Zhou Yuwen, 12 million!

"We earned 12 million US dollars!"

Zhou Yuwen laughed and simply hugged the black-silk-clad Lu Wanting.

A man's ambition swells with his possessions. Zhou Yuwen held Lu Wanting's face and planted a firm kiss on her forehead.

"We made it!"

"Tonight, I'll treat you to dinner! I'm taking you to eat at New York's most luxurious restaurant!"

"Yes, yes!"

Lu Wanting's face turned red; she was overwhelmed by excitement and didn't find anything inappropriate about Zhou Yuwen's actions.

This is the true charm of a capitalistic society.

In just one day, Zhou Yuwen earned 12 million US dollars, equivalent to 96 million in local currency!

Zhou Yuwen's personal assets directly doubled.

And that night, the news of Wall Street's capital entering Vipshop was no longer a secret.

Vipshop also announced its next moves that day, such as suddenly taking out 110 million US dollars to acquire 75% of Lefeng.com's shares.

This effectively monopolized the cosmetics market in e-commerce.

The main point is, the 110 million US dollars came from a very famous consortium, signaling a message.

That night, some well-informed people also received news; today's surge in Vipshop was because of the presence of Wall Street's financial giants.

In an instant, countless speculators flocked in.

Vipshop's stock suddenly became a hot commodity.

At this time, besides acquiring in the secondary market, more people were choosing to buy from shareholders, besides the stocks transferred by the founding team, there were scattered small shareholders.

And when everyone calculated all the data.

They discovered that there was actually a natural shareholder holding 2% of Vipshop at that moment.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Who is this person?

Who sold him the 1% stock?

That person stated they weren't sure either.

They only knew that person's boss had the surname Zhou.

Surname Zhou?

Two weeks ago, he had already been acquiring Vipshop's stock on the secondary market.

Who exactly is this?

Suddenly, all the forces focusing on Vipshop dispatched their people in a bid to uncover this mysterious shareholder.

Now Vipshop had a solid foundation, and its rise was just a matter of time.

That 2% was unlikely to stay in Zhou Yuwen's hands forever.

They hoped to buy it at a high price from Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen treated Lu Wanting to a sumptuous Western meal at a Sky Garden Hotel in New York that night, having rented out the hotel.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the unusually large moon hung in the sky.

There was only one table in the restaurant.

The entire band played solely for Zhou Yuwen, performing the world classic "Salut d'Amour."

Lu Wanting was flattered, saying that Zhou Yuwen was being too extravagant.

"At this time, it shouldn't be me here; I think Su Qing would be more suitable."

"Don't worry, this glory should belong to you, you're my operator." Zhou Yuwen smiled, gentlemanly helping Lu Wanting pull out her chair, inviting her to sit down.

Lu Wanting was still wearing the same OL business suit she wore during the day.

To be honest, it didn't quite match the current setting.

But so what.

When Lu Wanting sat down, Zhou Yuwen's angle perfectly allowed him to see the snowy white of Lu Wanting's neckline.

Her black business suit certainly had waist-cinching and bust-enhancing features. Such attire made Lu Wanting's chest appear more upright and added to the allure with black lace edges.

The main attraction was her black stocking-clad long legs under the table.

When Zhou Yuwen let Lu Wanting sit down, he had his hands around her waist, guiding her into the seat.

Lu Wanting clearly felt Zhou Yuwen's subtle move.

Yet she wasn't repulsed by it.

Today, the 12 million US dollars stimulated both of their nerves, making them bolder.

In front of Zhou Yuwen, Lu Wanting seemed like a devout believer.

She looked at the calm and composed Zhou Yuwen in front of her, somewhat puzzled, and she asked, "You seemed to have known all along that Vipshop would go up? Why?"

Zhou Yuwen said it wasn't like he knew it in advance.

Anyway, among so many stocks.

"Only this one, it felt like it was drawing me inexplicably; just luck, I suppose." Zhou Yuwen smiled slightly.

At this moment, he was indeed in high spirits and full of vigor.

Today was just the start, and from now on, the stock of Vipshop would continue to rise.

A fifty percent increase potential.

In 2015, Vipshop's highest valuation was 17.9 billion US dollars, and Zhou Yuwen now held a 2% share, which meant Zhou Yuwen's ultimate profit would be around 350 million US dollars.

This is just right for his first fortune earned overseas.

Zhou Yuwen said he had long told Lu Wanting clearly that if he failed this time, he would consider it a loss of five million, head back home honestly to become a rich man.

But if he succeeded, he would establish his investment company in New York, specializing in stock investments, and of course, in the later stage, he would also help domestic companies get listed.

Vipshop could bring Zhou Yuwen an income of two hundred million US dollars, but that was just the beginning.

In the future, there would be two billion, three billion.

"Of course, I can't do it alone. I need people to help me, Wanting, everything is fate. Now I know why I met you in this life. You are my best agent."

"Will you stay in New York and help me, okay?" Zhou Yuwen spoke sincerely, coming to Lu Wanting's side, holding her hand, and said earnestly.

Lu Wanting's hand was resting on her own sexy black-stockinged leg.

So when Zhou Yuwen was holding hands, he touched Lu Wanting's black stockings.

But in Zhou Yuwen's eyes, there was only the desire for Lu Wanting the person.

Lu Wanting was still a bit hesitant, as she felt she didn't have such great talent.

And Zhou Yuwen said that talent was secondary.

"The important thing is obedience, will you be obedient?"

"I..."

Looking at Zhou Yuwen in front of her, Lu Wanting found it difficult to shake her head.

The myth of twelve million US dollars a day, Lu Wanting knew this might be the only opportunity in her lifetime.

She didn't want to miss it.

After hesitating for a bit, Lu Wanting looked back at Zhou Yuwen.

In the end, she nodded: "If you need me."

....

That night, in the luxurious hotel.

Lu Wanting's phone kept ringing.

Zhou Yuwen was indeed a bit too excited today and drank a lot of wine. Originally wearing a suit and tie, but later on, his suit was tossed aside, his muscular build propping up the white shirt, and the tie was also loosened.

They drank a lot of red wine and became increasingly crazy.

From drinking to later, Zhou Yuwen directly and dominantly pulled Lu Wanting onto his lap, his big hand forcefully squeezing Lu Wanting's plump thighs.

Then he first took a sip of red wine himself and fed it to Lu Wanting mouth-to-mouth.

Lu Wanting was also submissive, her eyes gradually becoming hazy.

Amidst Zhou Yuwen's dominant and rough manner, she was gradually getting enraptured.

In fact, at the hotel, Lu Wanting was already touched all over by Zhou Yuwen.

Even the black stockings had long been stretched out.

When they returned to the hotel, both knew what was going to happen.

Zhou Yuwen went to take a shower.

Lu Wanting returned to her room, partially regaining some consciousness.

Her head was a bit dizzy.

At this moment, the phone rang again.

It was already 9 PM, during this time, Peng Xiaoyong would always call.

Lu Wanting looked at the incoming call.

She was no longer hesitant, whether to be Zhou Yuwen's sister-in-law.

Or obediently be Zhou Yuwen's underground lover.

Lu Wanting answered the phone.

Peng Xiaoyong's voice came through from the other side: "Why are you just answering now?"

"Hmm?" Lu Wanting made a sound.

"Did you drink?" Peng Xiaoyong sensed Lu Wanting's state from her voice.

"Oh, hehe." At this moment, Lu Wanting's face had a slight blush.

She supported herself with her hand, leaning against the table.

Wearing high heels and dressed in a black uniform.

Perfectly showcasing her feminine curves.

Peng Xiaoyong frowned: "Why drink so much? Where's Yuwen?"

"Oh, him, he's taking a shower." Lu Wanting said.

"Did you guys go out socializing today?" Peng Xiaoyong asked.

"Hehe." Lu Wanting chuckled twice, saying nothing.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information, Peng Xiaoyong sighed and then asked, "Are you returning to China this week?"

Lu Wanting lazily leaned on the table, the alcohol making her consciousness fuzzy, but her breathing gradually intensified.

Soon, Zhou Yuwen came out of the shower.

His entire body wrapped only in a towel.

Lu Wanting looked at Zhou Yuwen in front of her and listened to Peng Xiaoyong's voice coming from the phone, her mind seemed to clear up.

She interrupted Peng Xiaoyong's speech.

"Xiao Yong."

"Hmm?"

"I'm not going back to China." After Lu Wanting finished speaking.

She hung up the phone and, incidentally, turned off the phone, tossing it aside.

"What do you mean?"

"Hello? Wanting? Where are you?"

"Wanting, are you there?"

Peng Xiaoyong had initially been looking forward to Lu Wanting returning, thinking that once she returned, they should officially be together.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wanting suddenly said such words.

At this moment, Peng Xiaoyong's mood was in chaos, and he hurriedly redialed the phone, but after a long time, it showed that the number you called had been turned off.

Peng Xiaoyong grew increasingly flustered, suddenly remembering that he could still call Zhou Yuwen's phone.

He quickly dialed.

Zhou Yuwen's phone kept ringing in his room.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yuwen wasn't in his room...
