207: Chapter 207: Old Thief!

You’ve Got Some Nerve!

The human heart is never content, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!

How is this a small person?

It’s more like a starving wolf!

Wang Taixiong’s gaze grew increasingly sharp.

Meanwhile, Wu Jie continued to seduce.

“You want absolute power, but you’re also wary because the Tang Family’s background is too terrifying, and you can’t afford to provoke them!”

“So, before the divestiture, you’re afraid of being investigated.

Even if you manage things without a leak, you still feel like a thief with a guilty conscience.”

“As a result, even a nobody like Dou Cheng dares to flaunt his power like a bloodsucker, leeching off you.”

“And you can only entertain him as if you were serving an ancestor, providing him with the best food, drink, and amusement, without daring to be the slightest bit negligent!”

“Instead of being cautious and restrained, why don’t you let me help you?”

…

Wang Taixiong raised an eyebrow, “How can you help?”

Wu Jie smiled, “The future inspections and audits will just be a formality, just like with Dou Cheng.”

“That’s the basic premise of our cooperation, and something you should do, right?” Wang Taixiong said with a laugh.

Wu Jie nodded and said, “But I can also lobby the board of directors for you!

You should know how much influence my father-in-law and wife have on the board.”

Wang Taixiong kept silent, frowning in deep thought.

He wanted to divest the company and take absolute power so that the group could hold dividend-paying but non-management shares.

Only in this way could he utilize the Tang Family’s background without being manipulated.

After listing, he could then play more games with capital, shoot more films, launder more money, and reap profits from the stockholders like cutting leeks.

In the board, the key figures were President Tang Xiao and Chairman Tang Long.

“Are you really confident that you can persuade your wife and father-in-law?” Wang Taixiong asked with a frown.

Wu Jie chuckled, “That depends on how much money you’re willing to spend!”

Wang Taixiong could only offer a wry smile.

“The finance department valued the company at 2.7 billion just last year, and that’s after I had someone help to understate the valuation!”

“And because it’s a wholly-owned subsidiary, although I get a dividend from the group’s profits, I don’t actually have direct control over the company!”

“If I were to spend money to buy it, where the hell would I come up with over a billion?”

“If I had that much money, I might as well start over and open my own company!”

Wu Jie smirked and said, “It’s good to stand in the shade of a big tree.

Are you willing to give up the backing of the Tang Family?”

Wang Taixiong paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile,

“I have to admit, the company’s rapid development is largely due to the backing of the Tianyuan Tang Family!”

“So, I only want to control more than half of the stock, hold the power, and let the Tang Family just take care of the dividends.

I never thought of, and wouldn’t dare to leave the Tang Family!”

Wu Jie asked curiously, “So how much can you gather to buy the shares?”

“If I put up all my assets and also crowdfund from other friends and partners, at most I can gather five hundred million,” Wang Taixiong said earnestly.

Five hundred million?

Fuck!

Wu Jie couldn’t help but laugh, “The company’s market value is at least three billion now, and you want to buy fifty percent of the shares with five hundred million?”

“Awesome!

You’re even more ruthless than me!”

Wang Taixiong shook his head despondently, “Actually, you’ve underestimated it.

Just the film and television city is worth a lot, not to mention other film and TV IP, novel websites, and animations and games.

If a professional accounting firm were to evaluate it, it would at least double!”

Double!!

Wu Jie was extremely shocked.

Just a few hundred million, and they expect to take absolute control of a company worth billions.

Wang Taixiong, this guy, isn’t just bold as brass, he’s practically shooting for the moon.

“You can think about it now, how difficult do you think it is?” Wang Taixiong said with a wry smile.

Wu Jie was speechless and drenched in cold sweat.

“The company is so valuable, Tang Xiao won’t sell her shares for cheap!”

“I know that!” Wang Taixiong sighed heavily, “But I just can’t accept it!

The company was almost on the verge of collapse, and it only began to thrive and grow after I came on board.”

“Human beings, once they have a million, they dream of making ten million.

With ten million, they dare to hope for a hundred million, and once they have a hundred million, they desperately want tens or even hundreds of billions…

Where does greed end?”

“The outside world calls me some kind of movie mogul, but what am I really?

Just a dog earning money for the Tang Family, having to be incredibly careful even when seeking personal gain.

Otherwise, if exposed, at the least I’d be fired, at worst I’d end up in jail!”

Wu Jie laughed dryly, “With me covering you, are you still afraid of being investigated?

But seriously, after all these years, colluding with a whole bunch of people, and you can only scrape together five hundred million…

Old Wang, do you take me for a three-year-old?”

Wang Taixiong laughed, “It’s five hundred million in cash, If we’re hell-bent on getting it, everyone could mortgage and sell assets and scrape together funds from here and there.

Doubling it is possible!

But we’d need at least three billion for a secure deal.

Who knows whether Tang Xiao will let a third party reassess.”

Wu Jie flicked the ash from his cigarette and chuckled:

“Haven’t you thought about finding private equity, investors and the like?

Let them invest in you!”

Wang Taixiong said embarrassedly:

“I wouldn’t dare!

The group has been listed for so many years, and in the financial world, there are only interests, no friends.

If I went to get financing, the Tang Family would definitely know soon.”

“I also thought about approaching the three big families from Tianyuan, the Mu, the Xu, and the Fang.

They’ve got the money, and the Tang Family never deals with them, but I’m too conspicuous if I step forward.

If I send an agent to talk, they won’t trust…”

At this point, Wang Taixiong paused slightly, watching Wu Jie for any reaction.

Wu Jie sneered, “What are you trying to say?

You want me to invest, but first, I have to pull investment from the three big families for you?”

“High risk, high return!” Wang Taixiong smiled and said:

“Forget about the Xu Family; they have too deep a grudge with the Tang Family, I don’t want to harm you.

But the Fang Family or the Mu Family might be interested since you are the Tang Family’s son-in-law!”

Wu Jie’s heart grew tense.

That damn Wang Taixiong, what game is he playing with me?

Clearly, he’s already in cahoots with them, and still wants me to go talk, talk my ass!

But…

Wu Jie decided to probe a little.

“Alright!

I have a bit of a relationship with the Mu Family, but what should I talk to them about?”

Wang Taixiong raised an eyebrow, a tinge of surprise flickered in his eyes, but he immediately smiled and said:

“You don’t need to worry about the specifics; just arrange the meeting, I’ll have the chat with them.

After the acquisition is a success, I’ll give you a five percent stake!”

“Only five percent?”

Wu Jie shook his head repeatedly, “Old Wang, not only are you gutsy, but you also have quite an appetite!

I help you with such a big favor, yet you treat me like a beggar?”

“Even so, five percent equates to three hundred million!” Wang Taixiong said sheepishly, “What?

Do you think you can make three hundred million by being President Tang’s pretty boy?”

Wu Jie laughed heartily, “If soft rice could earn me three hundred million, that’d be something, wouldn’t it?”

“That’s why this risk is worth taking, and, when the official acquisition happens, if you could help by whispering in the right ear, keep this ultra-low valuation, maybe even get Tang Xiao to drop the price a bit more, I’m willing to give you a ten percent stake, and that’s six hundred million, brother!”

Wang Taixiong’s tone was full of seduction, cajoling gently.

“Six hundred million!” Wu Jie exclaimed wistfully, “With that kind of money, why the hell would I keep being a pretty boy?

I could just retire and travel the world.”

Wang Taixiong smirked, “But you won’t, because by then you’ll be thinking about how to make sixty billion, or even six hundred billion!”

“Stop it!

Keep that up, and I won’t be able to stomach your pie in the sky!”

Wu Jie laughed.

Wang Taixiong stood up, smiling, “I only book the best feasts, I won’t lead you on with false promises!

Come on!

Let me introduce you to some buddies; isn’t it better to talk over a meal?”

“Are there actresses to dine with?” Wu Jie asked with a smile.

Wang Taixiong’s face broke into a wicked grin, “Dining is the least of it.

They can even accompany you back to the hotel to ‘study the script’!”
