Chapter 746: Chapter 315: A Scam Worth Billions_3

"Now, it’s very difficult to unify the valuation of Xingyu."

Su Huai spread his hands, half serious and half jokingly sighed.

"Based on the current net income, it would be quite reasonable to set Xingyu’s valuation at 10 billion, but I’m afraid the outside world won’t easily recognize that..."

"Keep dreaming."

Zuo Zongcai just snorted with a sneer and spat out a number, "Your company’s net income in December is almost hitting 100 million, right? With 12 billion a year, the market generally values companies at 10 to 30 times their annual income. Why don’t you estimate it at 30 billion?!"

The biggest problem with Xingyu was that most of the revenue was contributed by Yuji and Zhang Dayi, but one was through tips and the other was through selling goods, neither of which was stable enough from a traditional point of view.

But Su Huai was not discouraged, "What if I don’t take cash? We could swap Byte shares with Xingyu shares, I could give her 20%..."

"Ha!"

Zuo Zongcai couldn’t help but laugh sarcastically, "And you think she would agree?"

"I think she will."

Su Huai seemed extraordinarily calm, a cunning intelligence flickering in his eyes.

"Because I can operate like this—let Gu establish her own company, then Gu would inject Byte and other tech innovation companies’ shares into it, and then I’ll swap my personal 20% stake in Xingyu for shares in Gu’s company, making her company the major shareholder of Xingyu, while I walk away with that 4% of Byte shares..."

"Damn... you’re really inhumane..."

Zuo Zongcai inhaled sharply, deeply shocked.

This method was actually feasible; Gu Jiuyue certainly would not refuse Su Huai. She might even be eager to manage Xingyu with him.

But he didn’t understand, "Why are you so fixated on that small stake in Byte? You don’t even get a seat on the board. Is it worth it?"

"Because I can’t get Kuaishou shares!"

Su Huai spread his hands, half serious and half jokingly started to bluff.

"Watermelon Video, Volcano Video, Joke Collection, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bili, Meipai, Miaopai, Tencent Video... There are just that many video apps highly related to live streaming, and Xingyu’s layout needs a base, but we can’t start our own, so we have to pick from existing ones to invest in! What can I do? It really gives me a headache."

Zuo Zongcai believed him.

Or rather, it would be accurate to say he couldn’t spot any flaws in this candid revelation.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t smart enough but rather that regular people can only follow the current logic.

"Hey, your style of thinking ten steps ahead is really quite fitting for starting a business. I’m growing more and more fond of you. You guys really should arrange your own live streaming website and video platform as soon as possible. Being downstream all the time is too passive; sooner or later, you’ll get played."

"So, will you help?"

Faced with Su Huai’s expectant look, Zuo Zongcai didn’t take long to agree.

Because of the roundabout Su Huai had taken—swapping through Gu Jiuyue.

"Help! Definitely help!"

Zuo Zongcai burst into another series of sly laughs, oozing malice inside and out.

"I can’t wait to see Gu Tongshu’s reaction. He finally sets up a company for his precious daughter as a dowry, and you flip it around in an instant, landing in your lap for nothing. Won’t he go half a month unable to swallow his food? Hahahaha!"

After a bout of wild laughter, he suddenly cocked his head, locking eyes with Su Huai as he spoke his last words with profound meaning.

"However, Su, you must always remember one thing—you can profit from this deal, but you can’t attribute everything you earn solely to your own skill and insight.

Do you understand what I mean?"

Of course, Su Huai understood.

Family members could play and argue as much as they wanted, but when the relationship became as good as strangers, the more he made now, the more he owed.

It wasn’t a trade he was willing to make. It was the Puppy taking advantage of Gu Jiuyue’s emotions to fiercely fleece Old Gu.

He could only bite the bullet and bear it now, but the debts were all being noted down.

The day Gu and Su Huai fell out would be the day for settling those debts.

But Su Huai didn’t feel any pressure because what he could give back to Gu Jiuyue was much more than just money...

Wall Street has damn well prepared itself; any impromptu trades should not be made.
