Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

Old Li swallowed. Years of professional habit had him instantly shifting into work mode. He held his voice recorder out toward Wu Yun. "President Wu, may I ask what percentage of Little Red Car’s shares were sold this time? And for what price?"

Hearing Old Li get straight to the point, Wu Yun calmly replied, "My company sold fifteen percent of its shares to Tencent at a valuation of 800 million USD."

Hearing Wu Yun’s answer, Old Li grew excited. That was a valuation approaching unicorn status! He had specifically researched Little Red Car’s development history because of the earthquake donation incident.

"President Wu! Can you tell us if Little Red Car has reached a strategic partnership with Tencent?" Financial reporters usually focused on these things. If Little Red Car were a publicly traded company, this news would have sent its stock price soaring.

Had it been any other type of reporter, they probably would have been more interested in Wu Yun himself.

Sure enough, after Wu Yun replied, "That information is confidential for now," Xiaolin couldn’t wait to ask his own question. "President Wu, can you disclose your net worth after this acquisition? And regarding Phoenix Entertainment, besides investing in *Wolf Warrior* and *Disguiser*, do you have any other plans?"

The female reporter next to him also asked, "President Wu, what made you decide to donate to the earthquake disaster zone, and why so much?"

The reporters swarmed forward, only to be blocked by Wei Wu.

Seeing the situation, Wu Yun decided to solve the problem all at once. "One at a time! I’ll answer two questions from each of you."

With that, he pointed at the male reporter named Xiaolin. "It’s not convenient to disclose my net worth at this time. Huaxia is a huge country; I definitely wouldn’t make any rankings. As for film and television investments, I’ve entrusted most of those decisions to President Wei Feng."

After hearing Wu Yun’s answer, Xiaolin blurted out, "According to a rumor, your company arranged for a newly signed actress, Qi Fei, to participate in the filming of *Wolf Warrior*. Will she also be a part of the upcoming *Disguiser*?"

Given the nature of an entertainment reporter, Xiaolin had originally wanted to ask about the relationship between Qi Fei and Wu Yun, but after a look at Wei Wu’s tall, powerful frame, he decided against it. He was afraid of getting beaten up.

"Qi Fei is a very promising actress and certainly has the talent to be in *Disguiser*. However, the specific casting arrangements will be based on the official cast list released by the *Disguiser* production team."

After speaking, Wu Yun pointed to a female reporter. "Your turn!"

The chosen reporter smiled and said, "Hello, President Wu! I’m Guan Yue from the Huaxi Daily. What made you think to donate to the disaster area right away?"

A nostalgic look appeared on Wu Yun’s face. "As a Sichuan native, this isn’t the first earthquake I’ve experienced, so I’m well aware of their destructive power. On top of that, I was at the epicenter and personally experienced this earthquake, so I can truly empathize with the local residents."

"As it happens, I have some financial means, so I was able to offer my humble contribution."

"President Wu, through what channels were your donations and supplies given?"

Wu Yun thought for a moment. "I had my company’s employees coordinate with the local government. I believe government personnel are the clearest on who needs help."

Soon, Wu Yun finished answering another question from a Sichuan Daily reporter and was about to escort Peng Zhijian out.

Old Li quickly caught up and squeezed in. "President Wu! President Wu! Can I ask you one more question? Are any of your other companies also in contact with Tencent?"

Wu Yun waved his hand dismissively. "That’s confidential. For details, please follow the official websites of Tencent and our company!"

As Wu Yun finished speaking, the elevator doors slowly slid shut.

Seated in Wu Yun’s Rolls-Royce, Peng Zhijian looked around the interior and said with a smile, "President Wu, this is a nice car! Back at the company, I can only ride in a designated company car."

Wu Yun chuckled. "President Peng, you can certainly afford one if you want it. Or could it be that you have other plans!?"

Wu Yun already knew the general trajectory of Peng Zhijian’s future career, so he posed the question as a probing joke.

Peng Zhijian smiled and changed the subject. "President Wu, I’m surprised you’re so experienced at dealing with reporters!"

Wu Yun instantly knew that Peng Zhijian was already planning to strike out on his own, but he didn’t expose it. He calmly said, "I may not have done it myself, but I’ve seen how it’s done. The key is to not get carried away."

Peng Zhijian nodded. Oratory was a skill tied to a person’s emotional intelligence and experience. Some people were just born for this kind of thing.

The Rolls-Royce drove smoothly toward the restaurant.

Peng Zhijian glanced at the GL8 driving ahead of them and continued to ask, "President Wu, when will Pinduoduo begin its Series A funding round?"

"President Peng, you can go ahead and arrange for due diligence and auditing. We can start in early December."

"Alright! I look forward to our next collaboration!"

....

News and speculation about Wu Yun had been trending with high popularity for the past few days.

So, the reporters skipped lunch, compiled their interview notes, and quickly plugged them into templates, writing up reports in their various styles to send back to their companies.

Old Li’s piece, "Tencent Acquires Shares in Little Red Car! The Nation’s Youngest Billionaire is Born!" flew through his company’s approval process and was published on various channels, quickly going viral beyond just financial circles.

"On November 25, 2014, this paper’s reporter, Li Hongwei, had the good fortune to interview Mr. Wu Yun in Rongcheng, the chairman of several companies involved in the earthquake donation incident."

....

"Coincidentally, this morning, Tencent Corporation and Little Red Car reached a strategic partnership, with Tencent acquiring 15% of Little Red Car’s shares at a valuation of eight hundred million USD."

"According to this reporter’s understanding, the Little Red Car Company was single-handedly founded by Mr. Wu, who held one hundred percent of the shares. Therefore, with an eight-hundred-million-USD valuation, plus the cash from the sale of shares and his other companies, Mr. Wu’s net worth far exceeds eight hundred million USD!"

"Although Mr. Wu did not disclose his actual age, based on his appearance, he appears to be under 25. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to call Mr. Wu the youngest billionaire in Huaxia!"

.....

"Finally, this reporter predicts that the sale of Little Red Car’s shares to Tencent is just the beginning of their collaboration. Most of the companies under Mr. Wu will likely participate in Tencent’s ecosystem. A new internet tycoon is on the rise! Stay tuned!"

This news report was reposted everywhere, and a meme about Wu Yun also began to spread: "I’ll just donate ten or twenty million, my humble contribution!"

Many netizens, while admiring Wu Yun, also joked, "I donated five bucks. What kind of contribution does that make mine!?"

A reply below said: "That’s less than useless! You’re basically on life support!"

Someone else commented: "Then does that mean I’m already six feet under? I didn’t donate a single cent~"
