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?
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!"
