In the old bookstore, Chen Yiyang spent six hundred yuan to buy this air-raid shelter certificate found tucked inside an old book.

The front of the certificate features the holder's name and photo, along with the stamp of the official who issued it.

The back simply says "Air-raid shelter certificate."

During the war, Shan City, acting as the temporary capital, endured years of bombing.

Because of this, Shan City built many air-raid shelters for people to hide from the bombs.

This air-raid shelter certificate is a product of that era.

But actually, you didn't need this so-called air-raid shelter certificate to get into the shelters; you could enter them with or without one.

In fact, you could just write an air-raid shelter certificate by hand if you wanted.

This type of certificate was likely issued at the beginning of the bombings to make the process of entering shelters seem more orderly and avoid chaos.

It can be considered a piece of historical evidence.

Chen Yiyang took this air-raid shelter certificate to see Yang Chengru.

"I realize you do have a bit of luck in you. How do you always manage to stumble upon valuable things?"

Yang Chengru expressed amazement after looking at the air-raid shelter certificate Chen Yiyang handed to him, then asked, "You're not planning to ask me to donate this to a museum, are you?"

"That's definitely not it; I just wanted to show it to you. It's very historical, and I plan to keep it in my collection."

With that, Chen Yiyang reached out and took the air-raid shelter certificate back.

"You're teasing me." Yang Chengru laughed.

"Well, not really. I actually came for serious business today." Chen Yiyang then talked about some things with Yang Chengru.

"I really can't figure you out; your network is impressively wide." After hearing him out, Yang Chengru clapped his hands and said, "Rest assured, the people I find will definitely show up."

"Alright, then I'm reassured." With that, Chen Yiyang stood up and left Yang Chengru's place.

Today's tip: Old Shan City stocks: In the old goods store at No. 126 Mudstone Street, An Nan District, Shan City, there's a Chinese Industrial Trust stock from the 23rd year of the Republic era. Buy it for under five hundred yuan for a good find.

Upon waking up and preparing to pick up someone, Chen Yiyang saw today's insider tip.

He was initially quite excited.

Thinking that, like the China Merchants Steam Navigation Company stock , this stock could also be a rare item of significant meaning.

Then he investigated what this Chinese Industrial Trust was about.

The chairman of the stock is Du Yuesheng.

Nothing to worry about then.

Yet Chen Yiyang still went to buy it.

Such collectibles, while not particularly valuable, don't take up space and can be kept at home.

After buying it, Chen Yiyang asked Li Dingjun to pick him up to go to the airport.

After waiting a bit at the airport.

A simply dressed woman carrying a backpack came out.

"Over here." Chen Yiyang waved his hand.

"Long time no see." The woman stood before Chen Yiyang.

"Long time no see." Chen Yiyang reached out and hugged her.

After more than two months apart, Li Qiqi was completely different from when Chen Yiyang first met her.

This woman, who used to work as a DJ in a bar and looked quite trendy back then, now seemed perfectly aligned with rural life, yet transcended it, resembling the idealized country woman from people's imagination.

"Thank you for rushing over." Sitting in the car, Chen Yiyang thanked Li Qiqi.

"I should thank you for investing in me and never probing despite the time." Li Qiqi was sincerely grateful to Chen Yiyang.

Especially after entering the video creator industry, she gradually realized how fair the contract Chen Yiyang had signed with her was.

In this line of work, content creators often get squeezed by various contracts, and trying to break away from their original company at least costs a lot.

Chen Yiyang had signed a 50-50 contract with Li Qiqi initially.

Plus, Chen Yiyang usually only provided funds without involving in anything else.

Thus, the studio was essentially managed by Li Qiqi.

This gave Li Qiqi ample creative space.

Starting her video production, she focused intently on content quality without rushing into ads and earnings.

Following Chen Yiyang's advice, she expanded her outreach not only domestically but also internationally, releasing quite a number of videos overseas.

She couldn't have imagined it herself.

The initial domestic reaction was lukewarm, but suddenly she became a viral success abroad.

Her strong overseas presence then led to domestic recognition, especially after a CCTV feature, boosting her fame back home.

"I was just too busy to remember," Chen Yiyang rubbed his nose.

He actually did forget about Li Qiqi.

Since investing in Li Qiqi, he had been caught up with Aiya Electric Vehicle and the recent Chuanyin deal.

He truly hadn't had the time to pay attention to Li Qiqi.

Noticed her only after CCTV reported her recently.

Then he checked his personal accounts.

This month, Li Qiqi alone had remitted several million as his share.

This was purely from video revenue sharing, and Li Qiqi hadn't even accepted any ads yet.

The two had a simple meal at the hotel and then hurried to the Dry Mud Food Factory.

"Lately snail noodles have become quite popular; does anyone have connections with the snail noodle factories over in Liuzhou?" Chen Yiyang asked.

Though not well-known, Dry Mud Food was once quite renowned in the OEM sector.

Many in management had been poached from large OEM firms.

Chen Yiyang's question soon yielded someone who said they were connected to those factories.

"This is Li Qiqi." Chen Yiyang introduced the person standing to his left.

"I thought she just looked alike; didn't expect it was really her." Liu Xiaoyue had been transferred to "Old Western"; now the Dry Mud Food Factory was managed by her former deputy.

A usually taciturn middle-aged man.

Upon Chen Yiyang's introduction of Li Qiqi, he immediately turned into a fanboy, bombarding her with questions.

Needing to get down to business, Chen Yiyang had to interrupt him.

"Ms. Li Qiqi has gained considerable fame domestically recently. I'm thinking of having her sign a contract with our factory.

Our factory will connect with the OEM factories and create a Li Qiqi branded snail noodle product.

The factory will handle quality control, with Li Qiqi only providing the brand."

"That's no problem."

Dry Mud Food's other management showed evident joy upon hearing Chen Yiyang's plan.

Considering Dry Mud Food currently lacks brand influence. If they hook up with Li Qiqi, imagine how much they'd save on advertising costs.
