Three years ago, Qin Xiao mortgaged his only house.
He then scraped together a massive loan of over three million, bringing his total to five million, and started a company.
The company primarily focused on claw machines in various entertainment venues such as cinemas and KTVs in third- and fourth-tier cities.
They provided the machines, the dolls, and services like repairs.
The entertainment venues, in turn, provided the space, power, equipment cleaning, and daily maintenance.
At the time, Qin Xiao, working alone, brought in his girlfriend Qu Fang to handle the finances, while his childhood friend Guo Xinliang was in charge of answering calls and maintaining customer relationships.
Qin Xiao invested the money and effort, holding 60% of the shares, while Guo Xinliang and Qu Fang each held 20%!
At first, things were manageable. Although the company was small, Qin Xiao worked tirelessly, pushing himself to the limit.
Every day, Qin Xiao insisted on running through three county towns, focusing on places with large crowds like shopping malls, cinemas, and KTVs.
Guo Xinliang and Qu Fang also managed the company internally every day, handling inventory, shipping, actively communicating with customers, and improving the appearance of the dolls. When a machine broke down or dolls ran out, they promptly arranged for supplies and personnel.
The profits became increasingly stable, and they expanded to seventy or eighty county towns in one go.
Qin Xiao, who was out in the wind and sun every day, didn't expect that Qu Fang and Guo Xinliang were staring at each other in the office.
Not only were they having an affair, but they also intended to merge his company together.
Guo Xinliang, who was taking calls in the office every day and looking like a boss, was increasingly dissatisfied with the 20% share Qin Xiao gave him.
As the income increased, Qu Fang was also unhappy that Qin Xiao was holding onto the company's money and not distributing dividends for the time being.
Qin Xiao was determined to expand the company first, while Qu Fang was focused on enjoying life.
Thus, the two who had long been in cahoots placed a share transfer agreement beneath a normal contract, coaxing Qin Xiao, who completely trusted them, to stamp and sign.
Just like that, Qin Xiao was kicked out of his own company.
Not only did he end up penniless, but he was also saddled with a mountain of debt.
Qin Xiao spent a whole year suing them.
But the two of them were prepared, and Qin Xiao, now penniless, couldn't even afford a decent lawyer.
In the end, he lost the case.
Out of desperation, he chose to commit suicide by taking pesticides.
Unexpectedly, in the year that followed, the company, which had gone through a second round of financing, grew bigger and bigger, and was on the verge of going public.
Poor Qin Xiao, working himself to death every day in the early stages to capture the market and lay the foundation for the company, only to end up making a wedding dress for someone else.
Guo Xinliang was different from Qu Fang. With such a large market laid out, he clearly understood the value of the company.
By controlling this company, with the huge number of clients in hand, there would be many other businesses that could naturally be continued in the future.
Not to mention, with so many cinemas in hand, even if you set up a small factory to make some new type of popcorn, at a reasonable price and taste, and then give the cinema managers a little kickback.
These were all guaranteed profitable businesses, after all, the client base was there.
Qu Fang, on the other hand, was different. As soon as the company went public, she would take advantage of the good market to sell off a portion of the shares to obtain a large amount of cash, and then keep a few shares to lie back and collect dividends every year.
That would be enough for her.
This was also why Guo Xinliang was so helpless when Qu Fang said she would transfer her shares to someone else.
Financing and going public can both allow a company to develop rapidly, but if you don't play your cards right, it's easy to hand the company over to someone else.
Once you lose control, no matter how many shares you have, they'll find a way to slowly dilute your holdings and kick you out.
That's why they stuck together from the very beginning, even resorting to marriage to bind their interests together, just to fight against capital.
To keep the power of the company in their own hands.
"You born-low trash, once I'm firmly in control of the company, once I get the shares you hold, I'll kick you out sooner or later!"
Guo Xinliang was so filled with hatred that he bit his cigarette butt until it squeaked.
No matter how estranged they were now, or how much they wished the other would die.
They still had to put on a good show at the wedding today.
After contacting the planning company and the makeup team, Guo Xinliang was completely refreshed. He set off from his newly renovated home to pick up Qu Fang at the hotel.
Neither of them were from Modu, although they had bought a house there to go through the wedding process.
Qu Fang was still at a hotel, doing her makeup and changing clothes. Guo Xinliang would pick her up from the hotel and take her home before they headed to the hotel where the banquet was being held.
The company was about to go public, and Guo Xinliang was very sociable.
In just a year of being in Modu, he had already made many friends.
An Aston Martin coupe was the lead car, followed by more than ten BMW 5 Series cars.
Such a motorcade, while not luxurious, looked young and energetic, and was quite impressive.
They made their way from the house to the hotel with drums and gongs, creating a lively atmosphere.
The hotel entrance was already adorned with a red carpet and inflatable arches.
Exquisite European-style flower baskets lined both sides.
Relatives and friends held party poppers and confetti, waiting for the wedding convoy to arrive, signaling the entrance of the bride and groom.
The convoy was less than fifty meters from the hotel.
Suddenly, another convoy emerged from a side street.
Leading the charge was a Rolls-Royce Phantom, followed by a long line of red Ferraris.
There were thirty to forty cars in total.
Coincidentally, they blocked the road in front of the hotel just as Guo Xinliang's convoy was about to enter.
"What's going on?"
Guo Xinliang, sitting in the lead car, felt his heart skip a beat.
Having the wedding cars blocked at the entrance wasn't a good omen.
No one from the opposing convoy got out to speak, just eerily parked at the hotel entrance.
Guo Xinliang's people quickly confirmed with the hotel staff whether another couple was getting married today.
The hotel staff were also puzzled, confirming several times that only one wedding banquet had been booked for today!
After a standoff of several minutes, there was no choice. A relative of Guo Xinliang's went with a hotel staff member towards the Rolls-Royce to ask what was going on.
"Excuse me, we're getting married here. Would you mind moving?"
The hotel staff knocked on the car window and spoke. Guo Xinliang's relative quickly took out a red envelope.
It's a Chinese custom: on a happy occasion, a red envelope can smooth things over, ensuring good luck and avoiding trouble.
"I'm here for the wedding. Both the bride and groom are old friends of mine. I'm here to attend the wedding."
Qin Xiao opened the car window and smiled slightly at the two people.
He then opened the door and got out of the car.
Today, Qin Xiao had definitely made an effort with his attire, sporting a pair of custom-made British Style leather shoes.
He wore a branded casual suit designed by a European designer, which, combined with his upright figure and the confident smile on his lips, made him stand out.
As soon as he got out of the car, he attracted everyone's attention. The current Qin Xiao was completely different from the past.
Having changed souls wasn't the only thing. He also interacted with Tony Stark every day in the Marvel world, attending countless high-end cocktail parties and gatherings with him.
Furthermore, with his strength and wealth as a foundation, the kind of temperament and confidence he possessed was absolutely not something ordinary people could imitate.
"Sir, are you here for the wedding? Could you please move your car? You're blocking the bridal procession."
The hotel staff spoke to Qin Xiao politely.
Qin Xiao smiled slightly in the direction of the lead car.
"I'll move it right away, just waiting for my gift to arrive first."
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen large pickup trucks appeared from nowhere.
Each truck bed was filled with white wreaths, and the center of each wreath bore a photo of the bride and groom.
Over a dozen pickup trucks illegally parked in the middle of the road.
Countless burly men in black suits, looking like they were up to no good, poured out of the vehicles.
Each person held two wreaths and aggressively charged toward the hotel entrance.
