161: Chapter 61 Lisa’s Probing Attempt_3 161: Chapter 61 Lisa’s Probing Attempt_3 Whether it’s Wuyou Media’s creation of raw talent or various bloggers breaking through with high-quality content, in this burgeoning era of short videos known as the Blue Sea Era, their presence is explosive.

Cheng Daqi is not after viral accounts with tens of millions of followers, whether domestically or internationally.

He’s playing the company game, aiming to develop a large number of mid-tier internet celebrities to bolster the company’s valuation with quantity.

Lisa, “If we both invest a million, how much equity can you give up?”

The blonde isn’t always roaming around with Temir, now she’s in the Saint Rodu flagship store of OC Perfume.

Sitting at her desk, Lisa posed a probing question.

She was looking forward to Cheng Daqi’s reply but worried that he would disappoint her.

On one hand, she considered Cheng Daqi a friend and believed in his sincerity.

On the other hand, she had defended Cheng Daqi in front of Temir many times, and now Temir seemed completely intent on helping Cheng Daqi wholeheartedly.

If Cheng Daqi was stingy with the shares, trying to take advantage of them, Lisa would feel like her previous actions were a joke.

Cheng, “Can you do sixty percent?

Any more and it would make subsequent financing very troublesome.

You can monitor the finances anytime, but I need clear control over the structure.”

This subsidiary was never meant to be profitable from the start; its future path is destined to be sold together with Shanhaiguan in Hua Country or go public.

Or it could be spun off on its own to seek buyers in America.

Cheng Daqi didn’t care how much equity Temir and Lisa took, but too much would complicate future financing and make it harder to sell.

Lisa, “That’s too much, Mi’er is thinking of just taking a twenty percent stake.

So don’t be mad about today.

She’s always been like that, tough-mouthed but truly good to her friends.”

Cheng, “What about you?

How much do you want?”

The sharpness of an entrepreneurial titan is real, and Cheng Daqi sensed the underlying meaning behind Lisa’s hesitance.

Actually, having thoughts is normal; it would be weird not to.

Temir’s rare emotional outburst led her to make a decision even Cheng Daqi found outrageous, but Lisa was different.

The blonde was just a worker; she couldn’t be as wilful as Temir, who had the resources to force her way.

Lisa, “I don’t know how to say…”

The blonde fiddled with the items on her desk anxiously, finding the question too difficult.

In her mind, she dragged out the black-haired rich lady and cursed her out viciously.

Cheng, “I’ve been the driving force behind this fundraising from start to finish, and many aspects weren’t handled well, but as my friends, both of you have supported me so much.

Take ten percent then.

My goal isn’t to raise money for its own sake.

You two have been incredibly helpful friends, and I hope to repay your support.”

Lisa, “Forget it, five percent is fine.

I believe in you, Chan.”

Cheng Daqi’s offer was already outrageous.

He was purely capitalizing on empty talk.

The problem was that his investors were just as outrageous—one scolded him fiercely, then decided to invest 800,000 and even help establish the company.

The other was willing to accept a pre-establishment valuation of four million and invest 200,000 for a mere five percent.

The magic of the world lies right there.

Thinking of how others could raise tens of millions with a PowerPoint, Cheng Daqi felt, raising a million dollars with just his words wasn’t too absurd after all.

A million dollars was equivalent to just six million Hua Currency.
