Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Chapter 737 Gentle Transition SHN Project

Even though the family had gone through such a great disaster, Zhang Xiang still had Zhang Nianhua to clean up the mess for him in the end, so he didn't make any progress at all!

Zhang Nianhua was completely heartbroken about this!

This time he did not beat or scold Zhang Xiang. He let him stay with him for the whole day. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Fu Chengguo called him and set the time and place for the meeting.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Nianhua and Zhang Xiang arrived at the hotel on time.

When he opened the door of the box, he heard a noisy sound from inside. Zhang Nianhua took a look and saw that Fu Chengguo and Xie Yunyi, two shareholders of Yunguo, were all there, in addition to people from other cultural circles in Lenghai.

"Mr. Li's script for 'The Pretender' is absolutely amazing!"

"That's right. Young Master Li's artistic talent is sought after by international companies like Sony!"

"Shh, don't say that. The outside world doesn't know that X is Young Master Li yet."

In the middle of the crowd, sat a young and handsome boy, it was Li Shuo!

"He, he has Wei Ni and Zheng Yingshan beside him!"

Zhang Xiang, who was beside him, stammered, and then Zhang Nianhua's eyes shot over fiercely, burning with endless anger! Zhang Xiang immediately fell silent.

"Good evening everyone..."

Zhang Nianhua took a deep breath and strode into the room. The further he walked, the more his back became bent. By the time he reached the middle of the table, he was completely bent. He stretched out his hands and said humbly, "Mr. Li, I'm Zhang Nianhua..."

Li Shuo looked up at him, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and said modestly: "Mr. Zhang, why do you have to be like this? We have met before. If you are talking about it, you are still my senior..."

"No, no, no, in our industry, there is no such thing as seniors and juniors. The first to succeed comes first, the first to succeed comes first..."

"Do"

"Uh, okay"

Zhang Xiang was about to follow Zhang Nianhua and sit at the end, but then Zhang Nianhua turned around and looked at him. Zhang Xiang stood up as if he had been electrocuted, and came to stand behind him...

Faintly, he saw Zheng Yingshan smile gently, and seemed to curl the corners of her mouth, full of sarcasm.

However, Zhang Xiang could only lower his head and pretend that he didn't see it, because now he vaguely understood that he would fall from being a well-off second-generation rich man to being an ordinary person. From now on, he would no longer be qualified to sit in front of Li Shuo...

In fact, Zhang Xiang was overthinking it. Zheng Yingshan didn't notice this ex-boyfriend at all. Li Shuo did see him, but didn't care at all. He didn't even pay attention to Zhang Nianhua's arrival!

Yunguo was founded last year by him together with Fu Chengguo and Tang Yunyi. As the latter two were more famous in the circle, few people knew that Li Shuo was its major shareholder. But since then, Li Shuo used Yunguo to dig a hole for Century Huayue!

The Disguiser is the copyright of Li Shuo's studio. Yunguo used it to build a new project. The first procedure was to pay the studio a considerable copyright fee, and then there was the share of profits in the later period! It can be said that with this item alone, Li Shuo can control various costs. In the end, even if The Disguiser can be sold at a sky-high price of hundreds of millions, after deducting the "operating" expenses, the share of profits for shareholders is still negative.

In other words, when Century Huayue decided to invest in "The Disguiser", Zhang and his son became completely like fish on the chopping board!

Yesterday, Li Shuo lightly asked You Dongjie to ask Zhang Xiang for debt. It would be good to get shares from Zhang Xiang, but even if he only got back the borrowed money, it would aggravate the financial tension of the Zhang family. It would be a loss either way.

Today, when Li Shuo received a call from Fu Chengguo and learned that Zhang Nianhua was eager to apologize to him, he knew that the situation seemed to be more perfect than he expected!

After sitting down, Zhang Nianhua kept saying nice things with his head down. He first praised Li Shuo as a rare young talent in Lenghai, and then praised him for his great talent and ability. Whether it was writing or running a company, he did everything perfectly and thoughtfully.

After praising for a long time, he got to the point and said, "I am old. This Century Huayue has been wasted for many years in my hands and has never been very popular. I really want to hand it over to Mr. Li for management. I believe that Mr. Li will be able to do a better job than I do. With your ability, Mr. Li, you will definitely make its performance soar again..."

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for the compliment. Century Huayue has been established for many years and is also a leading company in the film and television music industry. All this is due to Mr. Zhang..."

"No, no, I can't compare to you... I just want to find a wise leader like Li Shao for it..."

"Well, that's not appropriate. I'm not the type to swallow up other people's companies at will..."

"How can it be called annexation? If Century Huayue had a spirit, it would definitely join your sect..."

"Well, how about this, how much do you value Century Huayue? Just give me a number, and I'll buy your shares..."

This conversation is just like that of an ancient powerful official who wanted to usurp the throne, but faced with the persuasion of his lackeys, he still refused three times!

Fu Chengguo, Tang Yunyi and others sitting next to him were all people in the industry. Everyone knew that Li Shuo and Century Huayue were not on good terms! Not to mention, not long ago, Century Huayue's Huale Newspaper criticized X's film and television adaptations!

It was obvious that Li Shuo had used some unknown means to subdue Zhang Nianhua!

When they thought of this, the voices in the venue lowered a little: Zhang Nianhua's previous status and position were similar to theirs. Since Li Shuo could subdue Zhang Nianhua, he also had the ability to subdue them!

"Mr. Li said he wanted to buy it, so I naturally dared not refuse. How about this? Century Huayue's business performance is not good, so I can only sell it to Mr. Li at a discount! 3000 million, buy 38% of my shares, what do you think of this price, Mr. Li?"

After hearing Zhang Nianhua's offer, the voices in the venue became even quieter: Although Zhang Nianhua took the initiative to find him, no one expected that the offer would be so low! When Century Huayue was at its peak, its market value was about 2 million, right? How much of a discount is this?

Li Shuo thought for a moment and said, "3000 million is too low. I'll add 2000 million, or 5000 million, to buy out your shares!"

"Mr. Li is so generous!"

Zhang Nianhua let out a long sigh. At this moment, he actually felt tears of gratitude towards Li Shuo!

After all, what we say now will be real money that will be spent in the future, and we cannot be polite or false in this regard.

Given the current situation of Century Huayue, if he sells his shares to other acquaintances, it might be worth 5000 million. But selling them to other people means that he still cannot resolve the conflict with Li Shuo!

In other words, his previous offer of 3000 million was a plea for mercy, and Li Shuo not only accepted his plea, he even gave him nearly 1% more!

This is the real atmosphere!

In this situation, Li Shuo said, "Let Zhang Xiang pay off his debt with his own shares."

"Of course, thank you, Mr. Li!"

As Zhang Nianhua spoke, he turned around and looked at Zhang Xiang, scolding him, "What are you still standing there for? Come over here and thank Master Li!"

In an instant, Zhang Xiang saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him!

Most people who didn't know the truth looked at him with scrutiny and contempt, because when Li Shuo mentioned "debt", everyone could naturally make associations.

Zheng Yingshan also looked at him straight in the eye for the first time, but her eyes were calm. At that time, Wei Ni, another school beauty sitting on Li Shuo's lap, looked at him with a little more surprise, as if saying: Isn't this Zhang Xiang from our school? How did he end up like this?

"me……"

Zhang Xiang stood up tremblingly, and then bowed heavily to Li Shuo: "Thank you... Mr. Li"

Although he felt that he was humiliated by Li Shuo again and again, Zhang Xiang was really just a second-generation rich kid who was spoiled by his parents. From beginning to end, he only dared to be furious behind his back...

"Well, Mr. Zhang, I will send someone to Century Huayue to sign the contract tomorrow..."

Li Shuo nodded lightly. Following his words, Zhang Nianhua quickly stood up and said goodbye, pulling Zhang Xiang along, and respectfully left the box...

"Congratulations, Mr. Li has won Century Huayue. The strength of Shuoguo Culture has been further enhanced. In my opinion, it is already the largest company in Lenghai besides Spreadtrum!"

Fu Chengguo laughed and came up to congratulate. Li Shuo glanced at Tang Yunyi beside him and said calmly, "It's not that big, and it's better for Century Huayue to be merged into Yunguo Film and Television: Shuoguo Culture focuses more on the brokerage business, and Yunguo is a film and television production company..."

Hearing this, Tang Yunyi smiled and came up to congratulate him: "Mr. Li is very generous, but our Yunguo is a company of similar size to Century Huayue. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for a small company to swallow an elephant like a small one?"

Li Shuo waved his hand and said decisively: "The founder of Century Huayue is leaving, so what's wrong with annexing it?"

Fu and Tang laughed and quickly said, "There's nothing wrong with it" and "This is very good."

Li Shuo could tell that the words were not sincere. He smiled and asked everyone to continue drinking. After a few drinks, he said to Fu and Tang, "After Yunguo completely absorbed Century Huayue, it's time for you to show your power. I really want to do the project of "The Pretender"!"

"Yes, yes, we will definitely help Mr. Li!"

"Yes, serve Master Li!"

Li Shuo frowned: "What do you mean by serving me? This is also your company. Besides, even if I want to join the "Disguiser" project, do you think I have the time? I still have a lot of 'value investment' things to deal with next..."

Fu Chengguo and Tang Yunyi smiled bitterly, came up to him, and explained in a low voice, "I really don't have time, I still have to do..." "I don't have time either, I didn't take care of Yun Guo before..."

Seeing these two people hesitating, Li Shuo vaguely realized: It would be quite troublesome to hand over Century Huayue to Yunguo, because Yunguo was a company with inherent defects, and its three major shareholders did not take it seriously!

Fu Chengguo and Tang Yunyi regarded Yunguo as a token of their friendship with Li Shuo, so even though they invested money in Yunguo and shares in Century Huayue and Spreadtrum Culture, the two of them together only held 2% of Yunguo's shares.

As for Li Shuo, when he founded Yunguo, he was embedding himself in Lenghai's traditional entertainment circle. As for the acquisition of Century Huayue today, he had never thought about it at all.

To put it bluntly, including Li Shuo, the three are bosses who enjoy life, especially Tang Yunyi and Fu Chengguo. They just want to get dividends happily and at most have a heart-to-heart talk with the pretty girls under them. They don't want to develop the company seriously at all.

"The Disguiser is a high-quality project, we can't let it fail like this!"

Li Shuo hesitated for a moment, glared at the two of them, and said, "Since you don't want to manage it, I will select elite management from Shuoguo..."

"Hey, sure, no problem!"

"Thank you, Brother Shuo. By the way, can you send some talents to our SHN project, such as stage directors..."

If it were a "business-type" board of directors, the "management rights" would not be given up an inch, and the throne must be stained with blood. But in Yunguo, Fu Chengguo and Tang Yunyi accepted it very easily, and even thanked them repeatedly.

With this in mind, Li Shuo had no choice but to accept the reality: being busier is better than fighting for power and profit with his partners...

"SHN project?" He frowned, feeling that it sounded familiar.

Tang Yunyi said with a click of the tongue: "Look, our Young Master Li is a typical forgetful person. Last time when Mengmeng and Qiqi sat on your lap, Young Master Li said that he would support our SHN48..."

When Li Shuo heard 48, he remembered that this was the big group that Xiaoju was in. Well, Xiaoju is nowhere to be seen at the moment. Among the four current members, only Dai Meng and Xu Jiaqi, two T4 beauties, are pleasing to the eye...

"How could I forget? I even said that I would write songs for them when they officially debut as a group..."

"Then when is Mr. Li free? I'll ask them to come out and meet you..."

"Uh, maybe next time."

Li Shuo glanced at Zheng Yingshan and Wei Ni beside him, and suddenly something came to his mind. He introduced the SHN project to the two women: "The SHN project is actually..."

"Although it's a girl group idol, this model is the mainstream of development today. If you want to graduate early and debut, you can choose it..."

It was just a casual question, but what Li Shuo didn't expect was that Zheng Yingshan and Wei Ni showed excitement and couldn't wait to ask:

"Can we?" "Can we get the song and debut now?"

Being a school beauty in Lengyin is naturally not as good as debuting as an idol. Most people cannot resist this kind of temptation. Li Shuo's casual question is equivalent to finding a lot of things for himself.

Moreover, if the two cold-voiced school beauties join the SHN group, Li Shuo will be rewriting history. No, not only rewriting, but even creating!

Li Shuo thought of the professionalism of Wei Ni and Zheng Yingshan, and talked to Fu Chengguo and the others:

"I think it's a good idea to have them join SHN...SHN is short of people, and it lacks high-quality artists. Wei Nihe and Zheng Yingshan are not only beautiful, but also have first-class singing voices and excellent professional qualities..."

The more he talked, the more Li Shuo felt that it was feasible, and he turned around to ask the opinions of the two shareholders beside him.

Tang Yunyi chuckled and said, "I am only responsible for setting up the project. Shuo Ge'er can just fill it with people. Anyway, the operating costs are the company's..."

Fu Chengguo teased them: "That won't work. If both of you put women in there, you have to give me some authority. I also want to have the right to put people in there..."

If Zhang Nianhua were still here, he would definitely sigh and lament: How could I lose to these second-generation dandies who only care about picking up girls!
