225: Chapter 89: It is now 2018, “Joker” has not been released yet.

Sun, “You woke me up at three-thirty in the morning to play ‘Thirty-Six Stratagems’ on me, bullying an old man.

Aren’t you being abrupt?”

Cheng Daqi laughed; he had indeed been seen through.

Brother Sun, you truly are a big brother to me in this life and the next.

Cheng, “Brother Sun, it’s not that I don’t respect you.

It’s just that there’s no time to delay.”

“The share can’t be increased, but we can offer more money.

I promise, even if I scam others into taking over in the future, I won’t let you suffer any losses.”

Cheng Daqi chose to be frank and open.

This entrepreneur’s audacity was unprecedented.

But Sun Dongxin really bought into Cheng Daqi’s approach.

Cheng Daqi had calculated carefully and had a clear plan in mind.

Seeking financing from Sun Dongxin now was the option with the highest success rate and lowest cost.

It was indeed a mutual rush.

Sun, “Can you come back to the country to talk with me?

An investment of several million should be worth a trip back, don’t you think, respected CEO Cheng?”

Returning to the country is possible, but not on short notice, and Cheng Daqi needed the money now.

He pondered for a moment, then replied.

Cheng, “I’ll have Xiao Zhao go back to talk on my behalf.

Would that be okay with you?”

Today’s surprise was huge; Sister Zhao understood what she really wanted to do.

Cheng Daqi believed she would definitely help with this favor.

Sun, “One point two million for thirty percent.

I’m raising the price, and on the shares, you’ll need to give me a bit more, mainly because I have faith in you!”

Business cooperation has always been a gamble, and Sun Dongxin was sure his mind was clear right now.

The young shall surpass the old, and Cheng Daqi, this youngster, had the means and connections.

Sun Dongxin did see promise in him.

Plus, Cheng Daqi had helped him recover so much loss.

Even if this investment turned bad, Sun Dongxin wouldn’t really be at a loss.

Cheng, “There’s no need for so much money, twenty-five percent for ten million.

How about that?”

Cheng Daqi really did not want to give away too many shares; the domestic short video market was his strong suit.

Tiktok’s short video business in America might not be very successful, and Cheng Daqi was not in it just for the money.

Therefore, he could give away many shares to investors like Lisa and Temir who were willing to invest in him.

But domestically, that’s where he planned to make serious money.

He couldn’t easily give away more shares of Shanhaiguan Media.

It was only the first round, a rather informal one at that.

Offering twenty-five percent was already a lot.

Sun, “Okay then.

I’ll just need to support a sales team.

Do you need any other help from me?”

Sun Dongxin was firm in his decision.

Throwing down those ten million, he was now treating Cheng Daqi’s Shanhaiguan as his own venture.

Although it was not as dear to him as Dongxin Group, it was like a foster son to him.

As a godfather, he naturally wouldn’t just sit back and watch.

Cheng, “That’s all for now.

Remember to wire the money tomorrow morning, start with two million.

I need to hire an Internet army.”

Looking at Cheng Daqi’s message, Sun Dongxin felt a bit uneasy.

It was one thing not to sign a contract, but he wanted me to wire the money right away.

The last one who tricked me in this way already made sparks fly off the sewing machine.

Xiao Cheng, you’re playing quite the wild game.

Sun, “I’m not sure if the law has changed, but as I recall, shouldn’t we sign a contract for these kinds of investments?”

Cheng Daqi was also frustrated.

Sun Dongxin’s investment decisions had been extremely decisive.

But the speed of execution still wasn’t fast enough to get the funds in place immediately.

He lived in reality, not some fantasy world where the protagonist can raise money with just a phone call.

Business rules still had to be followed here.

How troublesome.

Cheng, “You remember correctly, but my live broadcast yesterday was very successful, and we need to act quickly to get trending.

We shouldn’t miss this opportunity.

If we miss this chance, there will be others in the future, but one swift move leads to another.

It all depends on whether you trust me or not.

If not two million, then five hundred thousand will do.

The company still has some money, but it’s more important to seize the opportunity as soon as possible.”

The traffic ceiling in short video hasn’t been reached yet, but the earlier one becomes a top player, the higher the profit from natural traffic growth in the future.

Having the upper hand is too important.

Sun, “How about this, the one million thank-you fee from last time was too little.

I’ll give you another half a million to take care of your immediate needs.

As for our investment, we should still follow the rules.

CEO Cheng, would that be acceptable?”

Acceptable?

Of course, it’s acceptable!

Brother Sun, I love your chivalrous spirit.

You really are like a true brother to me.

Cheng, “CEO Sun, you have vision.

Indeed, my methods tonight were rather unscrupulous.

But I had no intention of tricking you from start to finish.

Think about it.

With the Chang Fan money, I could possibly get even more if I went to Chang Fan.

Xiao Cheng is really in a rush here, so I owe you an apology!”

Sun Dongxin, looking at the message on his phone screen, smiled.

He liked this little brother even more.

Cheng Daqi had a ruthless drive, and when it came to fighting for interests, he could be extremely rational in designing the pace and traps of the conversation.

At the same time, Cheng Daqi also had an honorable side, apologizing without any psychological pressure after the deal was done.

Just for this seemingly shameless yet genuinely crafty facade, he stood far above many others.

Now, Brother Sun had completely forgotten about just having cursed Cheng Daqi out loud.

From Cheng Daqi, Sun Dongxin saw the kind of boldness that could make someone a great hero.

In both lifetimes, Sun Dongxin saw potential in Cheng Daqi.

Different names, different experiences, different ages, different hobbies.

But they were of the same kind.

Thus, in the last life, even after Cheng Daqi went bankrupt, Sun Dongxin still supported him to continue his entrepreneurship.

Thus, in this life, Sun Dongxin was really hooked and coaxed by Cheng Daqi once again.

They were naturally of the same kind.

Sun, “Xiao Cheng, you are young.

I envy the youth, at your age, I was just a regular driver, and now you already deserve the title of a man of the moment.”
