215: Chapter 215: Battle of Wits and Ruthlessness!

Confused!

Tang Xiao’s tone was filled with indignation as she bombarded with questions.

It left Wang Taixiong somewhat bewildered.

He had originally harbored doubts about Wu Jie’s authorization and the selling price he offered.

But now, he had no choice but to believe it.

“Um…

President Tang, you must be joking, how could I possibly give Mr.

Wu any advantage?”

“He is extremely loyal to the group and to the Tang Family.

He disclosed the bottom price because the investors were indeed very sincere…”

Tang Xiao interrupted, “I don’t care about that, where is he?

I just want to curse someone out right now.”

“He’s in the middle of negotiations, President Tang, please calm down.

I’ll pass along the message for you.

Let’s just leave it here for now.

Goodbye!”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Taixiong immediately returned to the conference room.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Tang Xiao put down her phone and thought rapidly.

When had she appointed Wu Jie as the negotiation representative?

She hadn’t informed Wu Jie of the bottom price either!

Why then, did Wu Jie do this?

The phone call from Wang Taixiong just now was clearly a probe, intended to verify the truthfulness of Wu Jie’s words.

At noon in the office, Wu Jie and Tang Xiao had already agreed to cooperate and make money.

So, in that instant, Tang Xiao immediately chose to cooperate with Wu Jie.

“At this time, I can’t call Wu Jie, or else it’ll give us away.”

Picking up the landline, Tang Xiao immediately called her father, who was in Europe.

“Xiao, I just got up, what’s the matter?”

“This morning, Wu Jie went to check on Culture and Media…”

Tang Xiao quickly recounted the situation.

After listening, Tang Long chuckled, “Jie is really bold!

But Wang Taixiong has been exploiting loopholes to clean dirty money for a while; he’s bound to run into trouble sooner or later.

Plus, the company has already become a hotbed of corruption under his watch.

Since those people want to buy, let’s just sell it!”

“Getting out of the filthy entertainment industry unscathed is a good thing!

As for how to sell and for how much, you and your husband can discuss that.

I’ll handle the board of directors.

Selling a company that could blow up at any time due to policy changes is something nobody will object to!”

Tang Xiao said, “My psychological price isn’t even close to sixty billion.

If Wu Jie can sell it for a high price, can he get a commission?”

“You’re still asking me?

He’s your husband, do you two really need to be so strict with separating public from private matters?”

Tang Long’s tone paused slightly, and he chuckled:

“Moreover, fifty billion is enough to satisfy the board.

If he can sell it for a higher price, that’s his ability.

Rewarding him for his merits is only right!”

After a bit more casual conversation, Tang Xiao waited a while longer.

Wang Taixiong didn’t call again, and only then did she feel reassured to attend the meal arranged to bring together Lin Wan and Fang Qingya.

…

Inside the conference room, Wu Jie single-handedly dominated the entire field.

When no one else raised any more questions, Wu Jie glanced at Wang Taixiong, who was standing at the entrance.

“Since everyone has no issues, I’m going to step outside to avoid any suspicions!”

Stepping down slowly, Wu Jie walked up to Wang Taixiong.

“Old Wang, it’s up to you now!”

Wang Taixiong’s lips twitched slightly, almost unable to restrain from cursing.

“Mr.

Wu, you really gave me quite the surprise!”

“I just asked President Tang, and she said she originally wanted to sell for a hundred billion, but you let slip the bottom price of eighty billion.

She even wanted to call you an idiot for that.

It seems you have not only gained the Tang Family’s trust but also shown great sincerity in our cooperation!”

Wu Jie’s brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly realized what had happened.

Tang Xiao, oh Tang Xiao, what an understanding we have!

A hundred billion?

A bottom price of eighty billion?

According to Tang Xiao’s usual practices, the real price would only be around fifty billion.

The clever Tang Xiao used Wang Taixiong’s words to convey extremely crucial information to Wu Jie.

“Why would I beat around the bush if there’s a benefit for us?

Alright, it’s your turn to take the stage!”

Wu Jie patted Wang Taixiong’s shoulder and walked straight towards the door.

He didn’t go to pick up his phone.

At this moment, he had to act boldly and composed.

Wang Taixiong gave Huang Siwei a meaningful look and laughed:

“The villa is too big, I’ll have Huang lead you the way!”

Huang Siwei quickly followed, while Wang Taixiong stepped onto the stage.

As soon as Wu Jie left, the venue erupted into chaos.

“Wang!

Isn’t that kid too damn arrogant?

His words were too harsh!”

“I’ve earned dirty money, sure, but I haven’t disrespected him!

It’s Xu Changshan who’s picking a fight with him, why drag us into it?”

“Let’s not talk about disrespect.

Let’s talk about the acquisition!

Eight billion…

feels expensive!”

“Five billion for sixty percent of the shares isn’t reliable either!

If somebody secretly colludes with the Tang Family in the future, they’ll have more than half of the shares in no time!”

“I think it’s best to buy eighty percent in one fell swoop, leaving the Tang Family with only dry shares to collect dividends from!”

“Eighty percent?

Can we even come up with that much money?”

…

Bang bang!

Wang Taixiong hammered his fist on the table and shouted, “Everyone quiet down and listen to me on three points!”

“First off, I asked Tang Xiao, Wu Jie is indeed her authorized representative, and the discussions were supposed to start at ten billion, but Jie directly revealed the bottom line of eight billion, so I think this brother is loyal enough.”

“Secondly, although we are from various industries, if we want to shoot films for money laundering, or go public to pocket funds, we can’t do without Tianyuan and the Tang Family’s backing.

Moreover, we shouldn’t let them hold too many shares, so I think it’s most appropriate for us to acquire eighty percent of the shares!”

“Lastly, this is a surefire profitable deal, the company has solid assets, with tangible assets like the film studio, and intangible assets such as websites and film and TV IP.

The market value is high; after going public, the stock will surely soar, and we’ll be cutting the stockholders’ grass.

Are you still afraid of losing?”

At this point.

The whole venue fell silent as everyone calculated their potential profits and losses.

“Wang, buying eighty percent of the shares means more than six billion, right?

Can we come up with that much?”

“You’re joking!

There are nearly a hundred of us here; an average of seventy million each is more than enough!”

…

“This time we’re really acquiring, can we launder money in passing?”

“Exactly!

There haven’t been many films this first half of the year, so the efficiency of laundering is limited, but everyone’s rate of pulling in dirty money is too fierce, to the point where cash is piling up at our places and in our money house, nearly getting moldy.

Now’s the perfect opportunity to take action!”

…

“Why are you so sure we won’t lose money?”

“Those internet companies like short video platforms, live gaming broadcasts, group buying for takeout, are worth tens or hundreds of billions.

Our company has real estate and websites; a market value of a few billion is simply a steal.

Are you actually scared of taking a loss?”

…

In the back garden pavilion.

Guards were everywhere, and patrols dense.

With no beauties around, nor a smartphone to play with, Wu Jie and Huang Siwei chatted idly in the pavilion, smoking.

Their conversation naturally revolved around celebrities and stars, which female celebrity had undergone plastic surgery, who was with whom, and whether it was just a publicity stunt…

Before they knew it, the sky darkened.

Wang Taixiong finally appeared.

“Sorry for making you wait, Mr.

Wu; how much for eighty percent of the shares?”

“Sixty-seven billion, no problem, right?”

Wang Taixiong nodded and smiled, “The price is fair, but…

can you accept cash?”

Pfft!

Wu Jie burst into laughter instantaneously.

“Are you joking with me?

Sixty-seven billion in cash, do you know how many cash counting machines I’d have to burn through to count all that?”

Wang Taixiong replied with a laugh, “Don’t get angry, brother.

You know those guys inside, all their money is black; how can they dare deposit it in the bank?

It’s all hiding and getting moldy and smelly, even gnawed on by rats.”

“So I’ll make them pay more, and when the negotiations are agreed upon, you just name a place and I’ll bring the cash there.

You take sixty-seven billion to Tang Xiao to settle the accounts, and isn’t the rest all yours?”

Wu Jie’s expression changed in a flash:

“I don’t care if the promised shares I’m given disappear, but are you seriously paying me with a bunch of moldy, rat-chewed bills as compensation?

Do you take me for a beggar?”

Wang Taixiong replied with a bitter smile, “No, brother, there’ll definitely be a lot of undamaged ones, and I swear to heaven, if you help facilitate this acquisition, I’ll make sure you earn at least twenty million.

If it’s not enough, I’ll even sell pots and pans to make up the difference for you!”

“Alright then!

I’ll be waiting!” Wu Jie said coldly.

“Good brother, go ahead with Huang to the restaurant first.

If I’m not there by eight, don’t wait for me; just have a good meal and drink with Bai Fengling!”

Wang Taixiong patted Wu Jie’s shoulder and quickly left with a gust in his step.

Watching his carefree departing figure, a cold smile flitted across Wu Jie’s lips.

If you all are unkind, then don’t blame me for being unrighteous…
