I Have Divorced Your Sister, Why Are You Not Leaving? - Chapter 15

Chapter 15. A Staggering 30,000,000 Profit – Qingyan Penguin Officially Launched

Li Mo remained unhurried.

According to the information on his phone…

It still wasn’t time to cash out.

This trade could yield 30,000,000 in profit—

A tenfold return.

Even at 20,000,000…

It still wasn’t time.

As time passed…

Ma Tengyun and the others could no longer stay calm.

They kept shouting—

Begging Li Mo to close the position.

This was pure torture on their nerves!

But…

Li Mo ignored them.

He simply waited as the profits continued climbing.

“25,000,000, Mr. Mo!”

By now…

Ma Tengyun was pacing the conference room like an anxious schoolboy.

“Wait a little longer.”

“It’s still not time.”

Everyone stared at Li Mo as if he were a god.

How could anyone stay this composed?

This was 25,000,000 in profit!

And he still wasn’t stopping?

“28,000,000!”

“29,000,000!”

Even Su Qingyan couldn’t resist whispering in Li Mo’s ear:

“Brother, that’s enough! If the stock rebounds, we’ll lose too much!”

She had never felt this tense in her life.

In just one hour…

Li Mo’s wealth…

Had probably already surpassed her sister’s!

The entire room was on edge, frantic as if a fire had broken out.

Only Li Mo remained unmoved.

When profits hit 30,000,000…

He calmly clicked Close Position.

Two minutes later…

Li Mo’s account balance showed a staggering 33,310,000.

“33,000,000! 33,000,000!”

The Five Tiger Generals hugged each other in exhilaration!

What did this mean?

Li Mo now had more than enough to fund instant messaging’s development!

Not just them—

Even the regular employees were cheering wildly!

That’s right…

Their high-paying jobs were no longer just a dream!

Their boss had just made 30,000,000 in an hour.

Would he really skimp on their salaries?

“Mr. Mo! 31,500,000 in one hour—if I told my classmates, they’d think I was lying!”

“Mr. Mo is unstoppable!”

The Five Tiger Generals were beside themselves with excitement.

Li Mo merely waved his hand…

As if he’d just made 3,000, not 30,000,000.

“Alright. Now, let’s discuss officially launching our instant messaging project.”

His words…

Silenced the room.

Ma Tengyun, still floating on adrenaline, blurted out:

“Mr. Mo, why don’t we just pivot to a stock trading firm instead?”

“How much can instant messaging even make?”

The profits they’d just witnessed…

Made it impossible to think straight!

Li Mo shook his head.

“Xiao Ma, don’t get addicted to this kind of money.”

“The stock market can be profitable, but it’s controlled by capital.”

“You can’t win forever.”

“Only what you hold in your hands truly belongs to you.”

“Treating the stock market as a long-term cash cow is unrealistic.”

Li Mo had studied the investment data.

Small trades were fine…

But trying to milk it indefinitely?

That would only lead to disaster.

Ma Tengyun looked at Li Mo with reverence.

“I understand now, Mr. Mo.”

He realized how naive his years of experience seemed compared to Li Mo’s wisdom.

Watching Li Mo’s unshakable calm, his admiration deepened.

“Let’s talk about instant messaging.”

“What should we call it?”

“Everyone, brainstorm some ideas!”

Zhang Zhidong thought for a moment.

“How about OICQ?”

Li Mo shook his head…

History really did repeat itself. In some timelines, Ma Tengyun’s instant messenger had been called OICQ.

But it led to lawsuits and endless trouble.

“That name has copyright risks.”

“Think of something else.”

The team threw out suggestions:

“Black Bear Messenger!”

“How about Big Brother Communicator?”

“QuickCall is catchy too!”

Even the employees chimed in enthusiastically.

Li Mo dismissed them all.

“Those names are mediocre. Here’s my idea—”

“We’ll call it Penguin.”

“The logo will be a penguin.”

“The full name? Qingyan Penguin. This brand will become iconic.”

The moment he said it…

Ma Tengyun and the others could already picture the penguin logo in their minds!

“Brilliant! Mr. Mo, you’re a genius!”

“Penguin it is!”

“Mr. Mo, you mentioned investing 2,000,000 initially?”

Ma Tengyun gazed at Li Mo with near-religious awe.

“I’ll allocate 3,000,000 upfront for Penguin.”

“More funding will follow as needed.”

With his stock market insights, making 10,000,000 a month on the side was trivial.

And he had other quick-money strategies—

Like the upcoming school district property boom.

But no matter what…

Penguin was his top priority.

Because among all ventures, its ROI was the highest.

Ma Tengyun could barely contain his excitement.

3,000,000 right out the gate—double what he’d expected!

Looking back…

Mr. Mo had been humble.

He made 30,000,000 in an hour but claimed he’d only aim for 10,000,000.

Casually invested 3,000,000 but framed it as “starting with 2,000,000 to test the waters.”

With such an enigmatic, formidable backer…

Ma Tengyun felt invincible.

Would Ding Xiaolei or those other internet bigshots dare look down on him now?

“Alright.”

“Next, let’s assign roles for the Penguin project.”

“Ma Tengyun.”

“From today, you’re appointed CEO of Penguin.”

“Chief Executive Officer.”

“All major decisions fall under your authority.”

“Yes, Mr. Mo!”

Ma Tengyun’s head spun as if burning with fever.

Today had shattered and rebuilt his worldview!

“Zhang Zhidong.”

“You’ll serve as CTO—Chief Technology Officer.”

Zhang Zhidong accepted the role solemnly.

This position…

Felt tailor-made for him!

“Zeng Liqing, you’re COO—Chief Operating Officer.”

“Xu Chenye.”

“You’ll be CIO, Chief Information Officer.”

Zeng Liqing and Xu Chenye were equally thrilled.

Their appointments fit perfectly.

Ma Tengyun’s admiration for Li Mo grew even stronger.

He truly knows how to place the right people in the right roles!

Li Mo had positioned each of them exactly where they belonged.

According to the project plan, these roles would ensure Penguin’s smooth growth.

Perhaps fate itself tied these men to future fortunes.

But Chen Yidan grew uneasy.

If this were just the five friends starting a business, he’d have landed a management spot.

But now…

With a powerhouse like Li Mo calling the shots…

Would he still get a good position?

His skills weren’t exactly tech-oriented.

“Chen Yidan.”

“You’ll be CAO—Chief Administrative Officer.”

“A multidisciplinary talent like you is invaluable to us.”

“Aside from the tech department, you’ll handle hiring for all other teams.”

“Salaries will follow current industry standards plus an extra 1,000.”

“Computer science hires start at 10,000 base pay.”

Chen Yidan’s eyes welled up.

He never expected…

Li Mo to value him this much.

“Now, let’s discuss compensation.”

Li Mo’s words…

Made the Five Tiger Generals focus intently.

The regular employees didn’t pay much attention—their terms were already set.

But Ma Tengyun and the others were executives.

Their packages would be different.

“Ma Tengyun, your monthly salary is 100,000.”

“Plus 10% equity.”

To ensure Ma Tengyun’s full commitment…

Li Mo had no problem offering generous terms.

The 10% stake also matched the optimal plan from his phone’s Penguin proposal.

Su Qingyan watched as Li Mo structured the entire department with effortless precision.

Her sparkling eyes held undisguised admiration.

Today, she finally realized—

Her brother wasn’t the ordinary man she’d assumed.

But a truly visionary leader.

And the company name—

Her name—

Even the project bore her prefix.

Her heart swelled with sweetness.

Li Mo…

You must love me deeply.

There’s no other explanation!

Meanwhile, Ma Tengyun gasped.

His voice trembled.

Was this a dream?

100,000 a month?!

“M-Mr… M-M-Mr. Mo… 100,000 monthly? You’re not joking, right?”

“That’s too high!”
