After the establishment of Yunshan Capital, Zhou Muchen and the other five, along with Liu Yutong, all seven became partners.
Among them, Liu Yutong, as the founding partner, contributed the most capital and held the greatest decision-making power.
Consequently, she naturally assumed the role of Chairman of Yunshan Capital.
Similar to the practice of Mingzhu Capital, Yunshan Capital also established a special Investment Decision Committee. Only partners could become its members, and its function was analogous to a group company's board of directors.
Liu Yutong possessed veto power.
Major investment matters required discussion by the committee, though the final decision rested with Liu Yutong's judgment.
No one had any objections to such an arrangement.
Subsequently, Liu Yutong announced the personnel appointments for Yunshan Capital.
Among the six of them, only Zhu Silin had consistently worked in investment and had a track record of success.
The others all had their own other ventures to varying degrees. For instance, Gu Yebai and Shen Hao operated the top-tier Cloud Peak Club in Da Nan City, and another female member, Bai Shisui, was more interested in fashion design and planned to start a clothing brand company.
In short, the only candidate capable of handling the day-to-day management of Yunshan Capital was Zhu Silin.
Liu Yutong immediately announced the appointment: "Silin, among everyone, your investment experience is the most extensive. From now on, you will serve as President and Chief Investment Officer, responsible for building and leading the investment team."
Zhu Silin was somewhat surprised. "Me?"
She thought she had misheard. There was no way she could compete with Liu Yutong for the position of Chief Investment Officer.
"No... no, I can't. Sister Yutong, you should..."
"It's fine. With me here, you just need to execute my strategic vision, and you won't go wrong," Liu Yutong interrupted her.
Hearing this, Zhu Silin had no choice but to nod and accept. The others also had no objections.
Next, Liu Yutong said to Chen Mo, "You will serve as Vice President of Yunshan Capital, assisting Silin in her work. Is that acceptable?"
Chen Mo immediately responded, "Absolutely! I will definitely assist Miss Zhu well in her work!"
Liu Yutong nodded. "Your 270 million in funds can be invested. We will grant you a performance dividend share corresponding to the proportion of your capital."
Chen Mo was instantly overjoyed. "Thank you, Miss Liu!"
"I, Chen Mo, swear here that I will spare no effort to serve Yunshan Capital and you to the best of my ability!"
This meant he was almost equivalent to truly becoming a member of this circle.
Of course, while there was still some gap, that was to be expected.
Because whether in terms of social status, background, or capability, he could not compare to the others present.
However, as long as he could integrate into this circle, his future achievements and status were bound to rise steadily.
With the arrangements for the Yunshan group largely settled, Liu Yutong's titles also multiplied.
Chairman of the Wanlong Group.
Chairman of Wanlong Capital.
Chairman of Yunshan Capital.
Chairman of Mingzhu Capital.
Director of the Yu Group.
President of the Mingzhu Chamber of Commerce.
And President of the Wanlong Charity Foundation.
Suddenly acquiring so many titles meant her influence had now risen to an entirely new level.
Although Wanlong Capital was affiliated with the Wanlong Group, it was essentially completely independent.
The Wanlong Charity Foundation is also independent and is currently going through the relevant procedures. Once the process is complete and it is officially established, the over one billion yuan in donations originally pledged to BS Province will be immediately channeled through this foundation.
The Wanlong Charity Foundation does not accept external donations; this is a rule firmly set by Liu Yutong.
This prevents outsiders from making comments or criticisms about her foundation.
All charitable funds are provided by the Wanlong Group and some close partners.
For instance, the members of the Yunshan Association have each pledged to donate one hundred million yuan.
Their contributions, combined with the amount Liu Yutong intends to donate, will result in an initial fund of approximately two billion yuan.
Liu Yutong has already communicated with Uncle Zhu, confirming that all these charitable funds will be used for rebuilding new school campuses in the disaster areas, covering over a hundred schools including both primary and secondary schools.
Furthermore, the reconstruction projects have already commenced ahead of schedule, with construction companies advancing the funds initially.
Liu Yutong only needs to subsequently provide the pledged funds in a timely manner.
Uncle Zhu has also expressed high praise for Liu Yutong.
Disaster area reconstruction is undoubtedly a lucrative opportunity, yet Liu Yutong and the capital behind her have not considered competing for this benefit at all. Instead, they have decisively invested approximately two billion yuan upfront for rebuilding schools.
Such a purely charitable act easily wins people's goodwill.
Although Liu Yutong did not ask for any return, Uncle Zhu felt compelled to offer something in recognition.
Several cities involved in the disaster area reconstruction will, through compliant means, allocate several plots of land in their central urban areas to Liu Yutong for developing commercial plazas, with a five-year tax exemption.
This is the first form of support from his side for Liu Yutong!
The value of these land parcels is substantial.
As these areas are mostly smaller cities with concentrated populations, once a shopping plaza is built and operated in a central location, it essentially creates a quasi-monopoly, making it nearly impossible for a second commercial plaza to compete with them.
Wanlong Plaza will undoubtedly become the commercial landmark of its respective city and the preferred shopping destination for local residents.
This also indirectly validates Liu Yutong's statement that wherever a Wanlong Plaza is, that place becomes the city center.
In addition to the ten affected counties and cities, a Wanlong Commercial Plaza will also be built in the provincial capital of BS.
This adds up to eleven commercial plazas to be built directly, with varying scales depending on regional limitations.
For example, the commercial plaza located in the provincial capital of BS will have the highest positioning and the largest scale, aiming to be developed into a city landmark-level complex, with a single project investment estimated at around one billion yuan.
If other real estate enterprises were to handle this, the investment would likely at least double, as they would not only develop the shopping plaza but also invest in building residential communities nearby.
Liu Yutong made it clear long ago that she would absolutely not get involved in such real estate projects.
As for whether Yu Mo's Yu Group will build supporting residential communities next to the future Wanlong Plazas, she will not interfere; it depends on whether Yu Mo has the capability.
In short, all real estate projects under her Wanlong Group will always be primarily for self-use.
Aside from the provincial capital's commercial plaza, the other ten plazas are estimated to require investments ranging from 300 to 400 million yuan each, depending on the city's situation and population size.
The preliminary total estimated investment in BS Province is around 4 to 5 billion yuan.
This meant that nearly one-third of the 15 billion yuan Liu Yutong had just earned for the Wanlong Hui Group was already allocated and needed to be spent.
Liu Yutong began planning to allocate over 5 billion yuan for the Wanlong Hui Group's normal development and operations. As for the 10 billion yuan in Wanlong Capital, it was essentially reserved as backup funds for the group's future growth.
Before being deployed, these funds would be used elsewhere, such as for long-term investments.
When the need arose—like this time for the large-scale expansion in BS Province, where the group's cash flow was insufficient—the capital from Wanlong Capital could be tapped.
Funds from other capital companies, such as Mingzhu Capital and Yunshan Capital, were unrelated to the Wanlong Hui Group. They would be used for investments in other areas, like the critically important technology sector in the future.
Liu Yutong had retained technology stocks worth 6.6 billion US dollars overseas. Beyond knowing these stocks would multiply in value, there was also an exploratory purpose: to see if she could acquire something valuable.
Take, for example, the future lithography giant, ASML.
