Chapter 9. Let’s Make Ten Million Tomorrow
After calming down…
Ma Tengyun had already convinced himself that it was impossible.
After all…
The initial investment required one million yuan,
And continuous funding afterward.
The risk…was simply too enormous and terrifying.
Most people wouldn’t dare take on such a risk.
He had already prepared himself for Li Mo to say it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.
But now…
Li Mo was still insisting on investing in him.
“Come to my place. I’ll text you the address.”
With that, Li Mo hung up the phone.
Then…
He sent his address to Ma Tengyun.
In Ma Tengyun’s heart…
Excitement surged even stronger.
Reliable…
Yes, this Li Mo is absolutely reliable.
Li Mo ended the call.
He went to prepare a simple breakfast—milk and bread.
Soon…
Su Qingyan, still drowsy, shuffled out of the guest bedroom in her pajamas.
“Brother-in-law, I have classes today.”
“I won’t be able to keep you company.”
Su Qingyan was eagerly looking forward to summer break.
Once it arrived,
She could stay by Li Mo’s side every day.
“Yeah, I need to tell you something.”
“I’m planning to sell this apartment.”
The moment Li Mo said this,
Su Qingyan’s eyes instantly welled up.
“Bro… are you abandoning me?”
In Su Qingyan’s mind,
Li Mo doing this… meant he was cutting ties with her.
Seeing her misunderstanding,
Li Mo quickly patted her head.
“What are you thinking?”
“It’s just that I need startup funds for my business.”
“Right now, I don’t have the capital.”
“So I’m selling the apartment.”
Li Mo’s words…
Calmed Su Qingyan down.
“Bro… you should’ve explained it clearly first.”
“I thought…”
At this moment…
Su Qingyan considered another possibility,
And her heart ached again.
That feeling…
Was truly unbearable.
“Didn’t my sister have a lot of money?”
“Didn’t she give you anything in the divorce?”
Su Qingyan knew…
Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t a stingy person.
“Of course she did. But I still have my pride.”
“As a man, I have to let go.”
“Your sister didn’t wrong me—it’s just that my career didn’t meet her standards.”
Su Qingyan nodded.
“Mhm… Bro, you really have principles.”
“I believe my sister will realize one day…”
“That leaving you was a mistake.”
“After selling the apartment,”
“Let’s rent a place.”
“No matter where you go, I’ll follow you.”
“Even if you sleep under a bridge or on the streets, I’ll be there.”
Li Mo couldn’t help but pinch Su Qingyan’s fair cheek.
“What nonsense…”
“You really don’t have faith in me? Sleeping under bridges and on streets?”
Su Qingyan rolled her eyes prettily.
“Hmph… You get what I mean.”
“Just take the sentiment.”
“I do believe in you!”
“If you hadn’t put your career on hold for my sister all those years,”
“You’d be way more successful now!”
Su Qingyan recalled those days.
The first time she met Li Mo,
She was still in elementary school…
He had been so gentle and attentive to her.
Thinking about it now…
Given Li Mo’s abilities,
If he hadn’t wasted those years at home,
Missing his prime time,
He’d be in a much better place now!
“Tell me where we’re moving when I get back tonight.”
After finishing a simple breakfast,
Su Qingyan left for school.
Her mood was good…
It was Friday, and tomorrow she could spend the whole day with Li Mo.
And soon…
Summer break would arrive…
Meaning she could stay by his side long-term.
That warmth…
Would always be with her.
Just thinking about it made Su Qingyan’s heart flutter with joy.
When Ma Tengyun arrived at Li Mo’s neighborhood,
His heart…
Felt a pang of disappointment.
He had initially thought Li Mo was some hidden tycoon.
But now, seeing this ordinary residential area…
It didn’t seem like a wealthy district.
Still… Li Mo definitely wasn’t poor either.
His promise of investment…
Probably held some weight.
Arriving at Li Mo’s door,
Ma Tengyun knocked.
“Mr. Li.”
Now that he was sober, Ma Tengyun spoke much more cautiously.
“Are you home?”
Li Mo walked over and opened the door.
“Xiao Ma, you’re here.”
“Yeah.”
“Mr. Li, let’s discuss the investment details today.”
Li Mo nodded.
“Here’s the plan.”
“I want to start an investment firm.”
“In the future… we’ll invest in all kinds of internet companies.”
“My greatest passion is the internet.”
“And you—you’ll focus on instant messaging.”
Hearing this, Ma Tengyun felt like he’d stepped into a trap again.
This guy… isn’t a scammer, is he?
Just investing in instant messaging required a million yuan upfront.
How much capital would an investment firm need?
At least… a hundred million yuan!
Does he have that kind of money?
Ma Tengyun couldn’t quite believe it.
“Mr. Li… I have some doubts. Hope you don’t mind.”
“Your neighborhood doesn’t seem very high-end.”
“Do you really have enough funds?”
Li Mo smiled.
“To be honest, I just lost my job.”
“Right now, I only have a few thousand yuan… and this piggy bank my little sister gave me.”
Ma Tengyun froze completely.
This guy…
Called me all the way here…
Just to mess with me?!
“But the startup capital is coming soon.”
“You just focus on your instant messaging project.”
Before long…
Another knock came at the door.
“Hello, I’m Xiao Liu from the real estate agency.”
“Are you interested in selling your apartment this time?”
Xiao Liu had been calling Li Mo for a while,
But Li Mo had never shown interest before.
Now, it seemed like there was hope.
Li Mo had already seen on his phone that this apartment would multiply in value five or six times in the next three years.
But compared to the potential ten-thousand-fold returns of internet investments…
It was practically negligible.
So Li Mo didn’t hesitate.
“Yeah. Can we sell it today?”
“Of course! There are plenty of buyers right now.”
“By the end of today, you’ll have 1.5 million in cash!”
Li Mo nodded.
“Good.”
“Handle it for me.”
“I’ll move out the day after tomorrow.”
The agent was enthusiastic.
“Got it!”
Ma Tengyun, however, was sweating.
Rich people invest…
Even if they lose money, they don’t care much.
But Li Mo…
Is going all-in, selling his home to invest.
If he loses everything, will he be able to handle it?
Still…
As long as he got the funding,
He could build the instant messaging platform.
Even if Li Mo ran out of money later,
They could always seek more investors—
As long as Li Mo was willing to give up some equity.
With extreme unease,
Ma Tengyun waited with Li Mo.
By the afternoon…
1.5 million yuan had been transferred (after agent fees).
“Bro Li…”
“What’s next?”
Li Mo looked at the bewildered Ma Tengyun and patted his shoulder.
“First, we register an investment company.”
Ma Tengyun had assumed they’d register an instant messaging firm first.
But instead…
Li Mo wanted an investment company.
How is 1.5 million enough for an investment firm?!
Even investing in his project alone would stretch the budget.
Following Li Mo,
Ma Tengyun was filled with endless doubts.
He was starting to think Li Mo was utterly unpredictable.
By 4:30 PM, they had finally registered the company.
Its name? Qingyan Investment—
Named after Su Qingyan.
“From now on, you should call me ‘President Li.’”
Ma Tengyun, holding two bottles of ice-cold water, eagerly handed one to Li Mo.
“No, ‘Mr. Li’ is fine.”
“Alright, Mr. Li. When do we start my project?”
The company only had 1.5 million in capital.
If Li Mo gave it all to him…
There’d be nothing left.
“An investment firm with just 1.5 million in liquidity is way too small.”
Li Mo’s words…
Made Ma Tengyun sigh in relief.
It seems…
Li Mo has some self-awareness.
This money isn’t enough for an investment company—
He should just focus on funding me!
“So tomorrow, I’ll make ten million first.”
“Then I’ll give you two million to play with.”
Ma Tengyun spat out his water.
With 1.5 million in capital…
Make ten million… tomorrow?!
Is Mr. Li…
Joking?
Once again, he started doubting whether Li Mo was just toying with him.
“Mr. Li… Are—are you serious?”
Ma Tengyun couldn’t believe his ears.
