Chapter 682: Chapter 291: Played Until Tears_3
"I don’t like to talk about being disruptive, it’s too flashy. I just strive to distinguish Xingyu from existing MCNs and guilds, doing things that may not necessarily be more correct but are certainly more meaningful..."
"Here, I also want to thank you for the substantial support you provided during a crucial period for our Xingyu..."
Zuo Zongcai listened more and more attentively.
Emphasis again: he wasn’t involved in frontline tasks, but his understanding of investment was no less than anyone else’s.
In his view, the development of Xingyu seemed somewhat outrageous.
There weren’t many fixed assets, but a valuation of 20 billion seemed quite reasonable, not at all like mere boasting.
How much were Pei Shuyu and Zhang Dayi, these two S+ hosts, really worth?
After all, Taobao was willing to invest 1 billion in Ruhan, bringing Ruhan’s overall valuation to 3 billion.
There was certainly some fluff, but squeezing out the fluff, was Zhang Dayi worth 1 billion?
What about Pei Shuyu?
Who had single-handedly brought up Xingyu as a whole?
What about those A and B grade hosts with very considerable profitability?
In the end, he had to admit, "Your industry indeed possesses a broad space I hadn’t seen. You’ve done very well, extremely well!"
To speak matter-of-factly, well to an outrageous degree.
So Zuo Zongcai was full of doubt, "Does Mr. Gu know about the achievements you’ve made? There’s no reason for him not to acknowledge them."
Of course, he knew.
Su Huai thought: With An Beibei and Shi Zeyu around, what wasn’t he aware of?
Su Huai was willing to speak the truth and real achievements to Zuo Zongcai just because Gu Tongshu stirred up trouble.
But outwardly, he shook his head and replied with a very aloof attitude, "I haven’t reported it to him; this is my career, this is my rebellion against him. I don’t need his approval."
Zuo Zongcai believed him.
He had always known that there was some unspoken understanding between Su Huai and Gu Tongshu, yet their relationship was like fire and water, more combative than cooperative.
So he decided firmly in his mind, "Then, what do you need me to do?"
"I don’t need you to be biased towards me, I’ll beat him with my own hands!"
Su Huai, like a young boy with a defiant and spirited look.
"I just hope that you can continue to invest in me personally and, when I conduct the first-round external financing for Xingyu, I will open a special window for you alone, sharing the success with you!"
Would Xingyu open external financing?
Yes.
But, it would be far in the future, and only a few core major factories had less than 20% stake left.
So, Su Huai hadn’t lied, he had just painted a grand pie in the sky.
Yet, Zuo Zongcai couldn’t have imagined, this grand pie had hooked him.
"Could you elaborate?"
"Our headquarters’ office space isn’t sufficient."
Su Huai rubbed his hands, making a small request, "The property is provided by you, I want all the space upstairs, but currently, Xingyu’s liquid funds can’t be used for renting... Could you please help figure out a solution?"
Mentioning money snapped Zuo Zongcai back to reality.
This wasn’t about taking money from Gu Corporation’s funds, but about squeezing money from his own pocket.
"Umm, let me think about it..."
Zuo Zongcai’s first response was to drag it until he had thought everything thoroughly.
Then, just at that moment, Su Huai nudged Jiuyue with his knee.
It’s your turn to enter the scene, my beautiful warrior!
Actually, Gu had no idea how to help screw Zuo Zongcai over.
So she, following her genuine feelings, bravely responded, "Uncle Zuo, don’t make it difficult. Just help me contact the owner. I can buy all the property rights with my pocket money..."
What the hell?!
Zuo Zongcai’s eyes widened, feeling a tingling in his scalp.
If I help you with this, wouldn’t Gu Tongshu slaughter me?
Perfect, your dad is practicing boxing. It’s uncertain when he might beat Su Huai, but he’d definitely hang me there as a punching bag and hammer me hard...
Old Zuo was extremely panicked, hurriedly trying to intercept, "It’s not necessary, not necessary..."
Gou Huai didn’t even give him time to gather his thoughts, turned his head to Gu, and with winking gestures asked, "Is your pocket money sufficient?"
Eh, enough?
Oh, not enough!
Jiuyue got the signal, instantly understanding what to do.
"Cash is not enough, but it’s okay, Uncle Zuo, please trouble you to help me sell some stocks or properties, I’ll scrape together the money~~~"
Pfft!
Zuo Zongcai nearly spat out blood, his whole body trembled as if struck by lightning, shuddering as he looked at Su Huai.
You little wolf cub, you’re really ruthless!
***********
Everyone is playing Wukong; surely no one is still stuck on Little Tiger?
Impossible, right?
I can beat it single-handedly.
But I can’t be bothered; I have to focus on writing for you all. Aren’t you touched? 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
