You go talk to him, I’ll pay him extra,”

Cheng Daqi wouldn’t hesitate to spend money on necessary expenses, and this party was very important to him.

The most powerful domestic high-end connection, Zhao Hongjin would attend, along with that top-tier corrupt cop Gru and his subordinates.

Besides that, his business partners and friends were all coming over.

Even more important, he was planning to live stream the party.

His Douyin fan count had already met the requirements to start live streaming.

He was looking forward to seeing the expressions of those fans who thought he was already dead when he appeared in the live stream.

This was truly going to be a big surprise.

“Chan, let’s go buy the groceries now,”

Sani was all action, and the idea of starting a business with her best friend seemed so cool.

It was the most interesting thing she had experienced in her teenage years, and she didn’t want to mess it up.

“Remember to buy some wine, different types, and if you run out of money, ask me for more,”

Cheng Daqi reminded her.

The exhausted Scott got up from the sofa and followed Kernor out the door.

Having such friends and partners, Cheng Daqi felt incredibly lucky.

To him, the support from these friends was more significant than any assistance the system could offer.

—————–

The remaining tasks Cheng Daqi had just mentioned that he would handle were not just empty words.

The various guests attending the party had already been invited.

They were all friends, and it wasn’t too much to ask for a small contribution since he had just moved into a new house, right?

Of course, he was not asking for cash gifts.

He took out his phone and decided to fleece Elder Li first.

Cheng ‘Elder Li, you really helped me out a lot this morning.

I had a gun to my head.’

‘If you had said one wrong word at the time, our collaboration would have been ruined.’

Before sending this message, Cheng Daqi hesitated for a moment.

“Integrity is just your plaything, you think I didn’t see through you?”

Temir’s questioning was etched in his memory, and Cheng Daqi wasn’t heartless after all.

He was just a laughable mortal who hadn’t let go of his moral burdens.

But then, in business collaborations, could everything be sincere?

He shook his head, pushed the mixed feelings to the back of his mind, and sent the message.

Li ‘CEO Cheng, is it worth taking such big risks?’

Cheng ‘The greater the benefit, the bigger the risk.

I’ve been in America for a long time and I’ve faced much more danger than you can imagine,

so you need to work hard and not let me down, Elder Li.’

The threat to cooperate with Eris wasn’t that serious, after all, it was a win-win relationship.

But getting leverage over Gru was different; he was the one who would take the losses.

Expecting someone to willingly be at your mercy requires being ready for the possibility that they might turn on you.

Li ‘Understood, CEO Cheng.’

Cheng ‘There is another thing, the kitchenware in this house is too scarce; it’s going to be difficult to cook tomorrow night.

Come over tomorrow at four in the afternoon, remember to bring a set of kitchenware to bail me out.’

Li ‘Sure, CEO Cheng.’

Two minutes later, another message popped up on the phone.

Li ‘CEO Cheng, you misunderstood, that house isn’t mine, I’m just subletting it for someone.’

Elder Li, if you lived in ancient times, you would have been a great eunuch.

There’s really no need to be so pathetic.

How terrifying must I be?

I’ve entrusted you with multi-million dollar business deals, and you’re still trying to play mind games with me?

Cheng Daqi sighed silently in his heart.

Cheng ‘Yes, I misspoke.

Just come over at four tomorrow afternoon, and we can also have time to talk about the collaboration.’

After fleecing Elder Li, Cheng Daqi turned his attention to the next target.

Lisa, I made up your mind about buying Tesla for you, at least doubling the capital you invested.

Now, if I fleece you a little, you wouldn’t mind, would you?

Cheng ‘Lisa, is Mi’er still mad at me?’

That’s the benefit of mutual friends, using them to start a conversation anytime, anywhere.

Lisa ‘No, she hadn’t mentioned any details about the collaboration.

She just told me that she’s decided to invest $800,000 in you, and she’s even going to help you with the company registration.’

If making someone angry leads to such rewards, I should try being a jerk too.’

The blonde bombshell’s words left Cheng Daqi baffled.

Temir’s behavior today was utterly inexplicable.

I’m the one you scold, and now you’re also the one who wants to help me, you’re quite unique, sister.

Cheng ‘Thank you for the reminder, I’ll talk to her later.’

Lisa ‘Are you sure Tesla will go up?’

Poor girl, tormented by the stock market like this.

‘I can’t guarantee it, I’ve laid out the certainty for you; whether to invest or not is still your own decision.

You have to be ready to diversify to spread the risk.’

Lisa ‘One more thing, Mi’er has decided to invest $800,000; do you still need my $200,000?’

The conversation with the blonde seemed to have reached an end, her message clear: I want to invest in you.

Cheng ‘Of course, more funding is always better in fundraising.’

Cheng Daqi wasn’t worried that fundraising would dilute his equity too much and reduce his control over the new company.

Not to mention that the two investors coming in were his good friends.

Just the fact of how to break into the American market required his foresight and informational advantage.

In his previous life, he hadn’t paid attention to how American internet celebrities and bloggers had made it.

But Cheng Daqi was sure that the future commercialized strategies of successful MCN agencies could apply in America.
