In the morning, when Chen Yiyang came out of the room.
The accountant bought a chicken roll and placed it on the table. She was holding one and eating it herself.
"Having something this greasy in the morning?" Chen Yiyang yawned as he sat on the sofa.
"But it's delicious, this sauce, it's perfect." The accountant looked at the chicken roll in front of Chen Yiyang.
"Boss, if you don't want it, you can give it to me."
"Dream on. Once you're done eating, hurry to work and help me check if there's anything unusual with that hotel's accounts."
"Understood." The accountant playfully saluted with two fingers on her forehead.
After the accountant finished eating and left the apartment.
Chen Yiyang opened his phone to check the latest information today.
Today's news, can this game make money?: The small game "Rabbit on a Rabbit" is seeking investors. This game ultimately generated over a hundred million in revenue. Investing in this game now could gain considerable returns.
The relevant contact information is attached on the second page.
Today's news is a hard-to-find investment opportunity.
The last time Chen Yiyang invested in the indie game "Daughter of the Snow Mountain," the tens of thousands he invested ultimately turned into a return of several million.
The rate of return was astonishingly high.
Now, having found another piece of information on investing in games, Chen Yiyang's interest was greatly piqued.
The info said that this game ultimately generated over a hundred million in revenue.
I wonder what kind of fun game can have this kind of revenue.
The name doesn't give away what type of game it is.
But any game that makes money is a good game.
Chen Yiyang opened his phone and dialed the number.
"Hello, hi." On the other end, there was a young man.
"I'm from Snow Mountain's Daughter Studio, I heard your game is looking for investors, so I wanted to chat with you."
Since the other person is also in the game industry, Chen Yiyang easily gained his goodwill as an insider.
It's been over a month since "Daughter of the Snow Mountain" was released.
The game has sold over forty thousand copies domestically, making quite the splash in this year's single-player market.
If this trend continues, it will definitely be in the top five of the single-player sales chart this year.
"I've played your game." The person was quite surprised and immediately said, "Yes, our game is indeed seeking investors. Are you available recently? We can come and let you see our game."
"I'm currently in West Capital City."
Chen Yiyang said half of his sentence, then the person interrupted him and asked.
"Are you available to meet us tomorrow?"
"No problem." Chen Yiyang nodded.
It seems they really need investment.
A game that can earn a hundred million? No other investors are interested?
Then I'll make sure to negotiate a larger investment share for myself.
A hundred million, how much will the profit multiply by then?
Chen Yiyang talked a bit more with the person before hanging up, just waiting for tomorrow's meeting.
But he couldn't just relax today.
First, at noon, he had to deal with the stack of gold jewelry he got last night.
In the evening, he also had to meet the contact John had introduced him to, the auction house's representative in West Capital City, to discuss selling a Middle Eastern antique parrot bowl.
Since this time he didn't have gold bars, Chen Yiyang directly took the gold jewelry to a local reputable gold trading shop to sell.
Because it's handmade jewelry, it could only be melted and weighed for money according to the normal gold price.
But even after deducting the smelting loss, Chen Yiyang still pocketed 260,000.
Quite a considerable gain.
Unlike Huaxia Gold's nationwide chain stores that take three to five days to process payment.
Chen Yiyang could get all the money right there and then.
After receiving the money, Chen Yiyang took the antique parrot bowl he had bought from the rented locker and headed to the location John mentioned.
Beiyi Global Auction House Huaxia Branch.
Once Chen Yiyang arrived, he went straight to the reception desk.
"Hello, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist was a fellow countryman, and upon entering, asked if Chen Yiyang had an appointment.
"Yes, my surname is Chen."
"Let me check. We do have your appointment record. I'll guide you in."
The staff led Chen Yiyang into the auction house's lounge.
As Chen Yiyang opened the door, he saw two people chatting inside.
One of the women seemed to be the local head of Beiyi Auction House.
The older man seemed familiar to Chen Yiyang, but he couldn't recall where he'd seen him.
"Hello, I'm Isis." The head of Beiyi introduced herself first.
This head was dressed in modern Egyptian-style clothing, paired with her hairstyle, giving a feeling akin to an Egyptian queen in a movie.
However, her Chinese is quite fluent, though there is a slight accent.
"I'm Chen Yiyang, the one who emailed you earlier." Chen Yiyang said, taking a seat.
"Did you bring the item?" Isis asked.
So Chen Yiyang took out the Middle Eastern parrot antique bowl from his backpack.
"So it was you, young man, who spent fifteen thousand on this bowl that day."
The old man beside them recognized Chen Yiyang after seeing the Middle Eastern parrot antique bowl.
"And you are?" Chen Yiyang looked at the old man with confusion.
"I was the one who bid fifty-five hundred that night." The old man opened his mouth.
Only then did Chen Yiyang recognize the old man.
That night, in the pitch-black darkness, there was an old man haggling with the vendor, eventually offering fifty-five hundred.
Unfortunately, Chen Yiyang directly offered fifteen thousand and took the item away.
"Are you an appraiser here?"
"If I were an appraiser here, I would have bought this thing for twenty thousand straight away," the old man said with a laugh-crying expression, "I'm mainly dealing with domestic collections. I have only a bit of understanding about foreign collectibles.
That night, I saw this bowl and indeed thought it seemed like an old item, but it probably wasn't a domestic antique. Ultimately, because I wasn't sure which country it was from, I didn't dare make an offer. I didn't expect you, young man, to arrive and offer fifteen thousand to buy it."
"Luck, just luck," Chen Yiyang modestly responded.
"Young man, don't be modest, this isn't luck," the old man disagreed with Chen Yiyang's words, he said, "Unless you were very sure. In that pitch-black darkness, would you dare to offer fifteen thousand?"
Chen Yiyang couldn't answer the old man's question, he just chuckled twice.
Isis also finished examining the Middle Eastern parrot antique bowl at this time, she opened her mouth and said, "Mr. Yu came today just to tell me about this matter, he even described the details to me. I didn't expect you to bring the item over today.
I just checked it, the item is fine. Are you planning to commission us for auctioning it or sell it directly to us?"
"Sell it directly to you," Chen Yiyang thought, if this item is taken abroad for auctioning, it might take a year or two before he receives any money.
"Alright, then let's do it according to the agreed price, I'll have someone deposit it into your card right now," Isis held up the Middle Eastern parrot antique bowl and first went to place it away.
And Mr. Yu was very enthusiastic as he exchanged contacts with Chen Yiyang.
After connecting with Mr. Yu, Chen Yiyang clicked on the old man's social media moments.
Goodness, the old man's previous post mentioned attending the national double advanced awards ceremony for retired cadres.
Seems like this old man had quite a high level before retirement.
Continuing to browse through the old man's moments,
He found there were quite a few entries introducing his collectibles, mostly focused on paintings and comics.
Speaking of comics.
Chen Yiyang looked at Mr. Yu and opened his mouth, "Old man, you seem to like comics?"
"My family was poor when I was young, couldn't afford comics, always had to borrow from others to read. Every time I read a bit more, people started disliking me.
Now I've retired and have some spare cash, so I like to collect comics that I couldn't afford when I was young, kind of fulfilling a dream."
After hearing the old man's words, Chen Yiyang thought to himself that when he's old, he might invite those female teachers he could only read pirated versions of in his youth to sit and have tea together.
Also kind of fulfilling a dream.
But now, business was more urgent.
Chen Yiyang said to Mr. Yu, "I recently acquired a set of Romance of the Three Kingdoms comic boards printed in '57, are you interested?"
"I'm very interested. When I was young, I saw a few pages, and then my classmate wouldn't lend it to me anymore. After retirement, I wanted to buy a set, but couldn't get one in good condition. Is your set above 95 in average condition?"
Chen Yiyang didn't expect that even comics have specific grading scores.
But he couldn't be sure himself what the condition of his comic set was.
So he could only say to Mr. Yu, "You'll know when you see it. The location is not far from here."
"Alright, let's go." Mr. Yu was also decisive.
And was ready to follow Chen Yiyang immediately.
"Then take care, Mr. Yu," Isis saw Mr. Yu about to leave, hurriedly came out to see him off.
Chen Yiyang took the opportunity to save Isis's number for convenient contact later.
Mr. Yu came driving a car.
The car model was Hongqi HS7.
After getting in, Chen Yiyang felt the car was okay.
"Young man, you don't have a car?" Chen Yiyang voluntarily sat in the driver's seat and drove, while Mr. Yu chatted with him from the passenger seat.
"I used to do business in Jin City, but recently moved to West Capital, so I didn't bring my car here."
"Our West Capital has developed quite well in recent years, young man, you have foresight," Mr. Yu's mood improved when he heard Chen Yiyang came from another city to West Capital for development.
Chen Yiyang drove Mr. Yu's car all the way to the warehouse he had previously rented.
Opening the warehouse, Mr. Yu was delighted to see a warehouse full of old books.
"Having a habit of reading books is great, where did you buy all these books?"
"From a bookstore that closed down, I saw them and casually bought a bunch of them back."
Chen Yiyang found the stack of Romance of the Three Kingdoms comics in the warehouse and then took them out.
"Preserved so well?" Mr. Yu sat on the ground without regard for image, flipped through a few books, and said in surprise to Chen Yiyang.
"Your set is on average above 95 condition. It's practically as good as new."
