Rebirth: I have Monopoly System

Seeing the look on Wu Yun’s face, Peng Zhijian smiled and asked, "It seems President Wu is quite confident about your game?"

The skyrocketing valuations of Wu Yun’s two companies had made Peng Zhijian think very highly of the young man, and he grew very interested in Wu Yun’s subsequent ventures.

He didn’t know much about games, but that was how Tencent got its start! The company had plenty of professionals.

A faint smile touched Wu Yun’s lips. "I believe it’s a phenomenal game, like League of Legends!"

Hearing this, Peng Zhijian’s interest grew even stronger. "Oh? What’s it called?" he asked.

After all, given his age, Peng Zhijian wasn’t particularly interested in modern games. However, he was very interested in the value behind them. Tencent’s pan-entertainment strategy was no joke.

"PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds! President Peng, you can arrange for some people to try it. I’ll give you a few closed beta accounts!"

Peng Zhijian made a note of the game’s name and nodded with a smile.

...

"Extra! Extra! Pinduoduo has successfully completed its Series A funding, with Tencent acquiring a 20% stake for 100 million USD!"

The next day, news of Pinduoduo’s successful funding round was featured in special columns on all major financial news outlets.

Tencent News even pinned the link to the top, with the cover photo showing Wu Yun and Peng Zhijian shaking hands for the camera.

However, since the buzz surrounding Wu Yun hadn’t died down over the past few days, this financial news was instantly reposted and published by all the major news websites the moment it came out.

As a result, the focus of the news was no longer Pinduoduo; instead, all eyes turned to Wu Yun.

"A billionaire at just 19!"

"The youngest billionaire in history!"

"Ah! He’s my dream guy!"

"Now that’s what I call a domineering CEO!"

...

All sorts of complimentary titles were heaped upon Wu Yun.

A few comments online became particularly popular.

"Looking at it now, that ten or twenty million was nothing to President Wu! It’s like me having a few hundred dollars and easily taking out one dollar!"

"When I saw my husband’s spacious apartment and the night view of the Modu Bund, I knew his net worth was extraordinary!"

...

Some curious netizens even compared Wu Yun’s wealth to the Hurun Huaxia Rich List, which had just been released in October.

"Wu Yun’s shares and cash from Little Red Car are valued at 800 million USD! Pinduoduo’s current market cap is 500 million USD, and Wu Yun’s 80% stake is worth 400 million USD! Not even counting his other companies, that’s a total of 1.2 billion USD! That’s ~8.4 billion Huaxia Coin! He would actually rank 224th on the Hurun Huaxia Rich List!"

A comment below read: "I’ve seen that list. Ninety-nine percent of the people on it are old-timers over forty! For Wu Yun to rank this high at his age is absolutely insane!"

"In a few more years, the old guard is going to be washed up on the shore!"

"Anyone want to form a group to go rob him?! I saw President Wu’s video yesterday and figured out he lives in either Cofco Seaview No.1 or Tomson Riviera! The odds are higher for Seaview No. 1! Damn, he’s loaded!"

"Count me in!"

"Call me when you go!"

"Don’t stop me, I’m going home to my husband!"

Ever since Wu Yun posted the video, his follower count on Weibo had exploded from just a handful to over a million, and it was still growing rapidly.

The online commotion didn’t affect Wu Yun’s life. He still went to work, played games, and then left early to pick up Qi Fei from her class.

「December 5th.」

Wu Yun’s phone, sitting on the desk, rang. Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, he said to Susan and Zhao Yang, two employees who were currently forming a team, "I need to take this. Wait for me."

’This is my personal phone, so almost no one should know this number.’

"Hello?" Wu Yun answered the call.

"President Wu! Hello! This is Gu Min from WeBank!" a voice said in Mandarin with a slight Cantonese accent.

Wu Yun instantly recalled who Gu Min was—the future chairman of WeBank.

Not long ago, when he’d submitted his personal information to the relevant departments for WeBank’s business license registration, the investors had held a video conference and agreed to appoint Gu Min as the chairman.

This was the first time Gu Min had ever called him.

Before Wu Yun could speak, Gu Min continued, "President Wu, I’m calling today because I wanted to learn from you. I heard from President Ma that you have great insights into the development of WeBank!"

Wu Yun laughed. "That’s just President Ma flattering me. My ideas are all just armchair theorizing! The actual direction of development needs to be managed by you professionals."

’Wu Yun knew exactly why Gu Min was calling about this. First, he wanted to gain the support of a board member, and second, he was hoping to get some inspiration for the bank’s development.’

At Gu Min’s insistence, Wu Yun repeated what he had told Xiaomage last time. Gu Min was completely blown away.

He had initially been skeptical of Xiaomage’s constant praise for Wu Yun. After all, every industry is its own world, even if Wu Yun was a newly-risen business magnate.

But after their conversation, Gu Min had not a shred of doubt left about Wu Yun’s talent in banking. A great reputation is never unearned; Wu Yun really knew his stuff.

After getting the answers he wanted from Wu Yun, Gu Min exchanged a few more pleasantries before saying, "President Wu, the business license has been approved! If it’s convenient for you, please transfer the promised funds into our corporate account as soon as possible. I’ll add you on WeChat in a moment and send over the account details."

"Alright, President Gu. I’ll arrange for someone to make the transfer right away. It should arrive within the day!"

Gu Min smiled and said, "No rush, President Wu! Any time in the next few days is fine. By the way, if you’re free, you should come to Peng City for the opening ceremony on December 12th."

"Since we’re the first internet bank, I heard a very senior official will be attending the launch of our first product."

"Okay, I’ll fly to Peng City on the 11th. We can talk more then!"

Wu Yun hung up the phone with Gu Min, the chairman of WeBank, and mentally reviewed the bank’s development history.

Gu Min’s presence was crucial to WeBank’s development. Before Wu Yun was reborn, Gu Min had served as WeBank’s chairman the entire time.

After a moment’s thought, Wu Yun picked up his phone and called Tan Shu.

When Tan Shu heard Wu Yun’s request to transfer 900 million to a corporate account, she confirmed it with him again and again. Even Luo Guangrong called to confirm it with Wu Yun.

"President Wu, have you considered making a fixed-term deposit? The interest rate is the same as the one for Little Red Car!" Luo Guangrong had gotten addicted to soliciting deposits.

"This is an investment. I’ll make fixed-term deposits when I have spare funds in the future," Wu Yun replied, politely turning him down.

A moment later, he received a text notification: a debit of 900 million from his account, leaving a remaining balance of 131.36 million.
