Chapter 138: Chapter 136: Talk To Me Like A Human

"You’re so confident?"

Gao Guoliang looked at Long Chen with interest and gestured for him to sit down.

Next to him, the brother from iGeekArt watched Long Chen with a wary face.

He had already figured out that the visitor might be a competitor.

"Mr. Gao, who is this brother?"

The iGeekArt brother asked softly.

Gao Guoliang smiled and said, "He’s from Chenyue Film and Television."

"Chenyue Film and Television? Uh, forgive my ignorance, I’ve never heard of it."

The iGeekArt brother said.

"It’s normal not to have heard of it, but soon, the whole world will know about the existence of Chenyue Film and Television," Long Chen said confidently.

"Brother, not to brag, but that’s a bit of an overstatement. Even us at iGeekArt, currently in the top five domestically, still wouldn’t dare claim to be world-famous. What makes Chenyue so special?"

The iGeekArt brother said with a hint of mockery.

Long Chen did not condescend to argue; after all, even Li Yuechan would have no idea of the heights he could take Chenyue Film and Television Company to.

"By the way, what was your name again?"

Gao Guoliang asked Long Chen.

"I remember telling you my name," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Really? Oh, sorry, I forgot."

"My name is Long Chen. You forgot my name, so if the deal is successful, you’ll reduce it by another ten million," Long Chen said calmly as he poured himself a cup of tea.

Gao Guoliang was astonished; he had never encountered such a partner before.

Honestly, having seen those who buttered him up, he found Long Chen to be a breath of fresh air.

"Brother Long Chen, then tell me your thoughts," Gao Guoliang said with a smile, not angry in the slightest.

"Haven’t we already agreed? I give you three billion, and the rights are exclusively mine; your drama can only be broadcast on Chenyue," Long Chen said with a smile.

"What? Three... three billion?" The iGeekArt brother was dumbfounded.

"Yes, three billion. You heard right," Long Chen affirmed calmly.

"Are you out of your mind, brother?" The iGeekArt brother couldn’t help saying, "Not to mention whether you can come up with three billion, even if you could, is it worth spending so much? To be honest, it’s uncertain whether it will be a hit or not. By doing this, you’re disrupting the market."

"What are you talking about?"

Gao Guoliang’s face darkened.

"Uh, Mr. Gao, I didn’t mean anything by it, just that his behavior is a bit..."

"Leave. It seems our cooperation with iGeekArt ends here. Take care, I won’t see you out."

Gao Guoliang said sternly.

"Mr. Gao, I..."

"Go." Gao Guoliang waved his hand impatiently.

"Fine," the iGeekArt brother said through clenched teeth. "I can’t believe this kid can come up with three billion. Mr. Gao, no matter what, I’ll wait for you. I’ll take my leave first."

With that, he got up and left.

Gao Guoliang took a deep breath to calm down and then, with a smile back on his face, said to Long Chen, "Brother Long Chen, you can start bargaining now."

"Why bargain? Three billion, reduced by twenty million, two point eight billion. Prepare the contract, and once signed, I can transfer the amount in full," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Are you serious?" Gao Guoliang stared intently at Long Chen, hoping to see some kind of sign in his face.

But Long Chen was too calm, composed, and confident.

"Mr. Gao, you’re not unable to make the decision, are you?" Long Chen inquired suspiciously.

"To tell you the truth, I can make the decision on the overall situation, but to sell the full rights, I still need to discuss with some shareholders. After all, I have to consider the investors’ feelings."

"Alright, Mr. Gao, then hurry up. Let’s aim to get everything settled today," Long Chen said.

"Alright."

Gao Guoliang nodded.

Unconsciously, he had come to believe in Long Chen.

"Gao, I won’t bother you any longer, just give me a call when it’s all set, and I’ll be there whenever you need me.

By the way, if you’re feeling uneasy, I can pay you a one billion down payment right now."

Long Chen said with a smile.

Gao Guoliang felt his scalp tingle. A one billion down payment, just mentioned so casually and leisurely?

After taking a deep breath, he forced a smile, "Brother, there’s no need for a down payment. As soon as there’s a result, I’ll let you know immediately."

"Alright, I’ll take my leave."

Long Chen waved his hand and stepped away.

After he left the restaurant, Long Chen saw that quirky guy from Ai Guai Yi again.

The quirky guy from Ai Guai Yi stood up as soon as he saw Long Chen, coming forward, "Hey, is everything settled?"

"Guess."

Long Chen glanced at him.

"I guess it didn’t work out," he said with a smile.

"Why’s that?"

"Because no one would be foolish enough to spend three billion on that drama.

Let me analyze it for you, although that drama is indeed decent and features strong actors, it has a drawback. None of the actors are top-tier celebrities, get what I mean?"

The quirky guy from Ai Guai Yi analyzed seriously.

"You’re right about everything, goodbye."

Long Chen quickly walked away.

"What does that mean?"

The quirky guy from Ai Guai Yi scratched his head, puzzled.

...

For the next half day, Long Chen stayed in South City, waiting for Gao Guoliang’s response.

Finally, at 7:30 in the evening, Gao Guoliang called Long Chen to tell him that he had obtained everyone’s agreement to sell the rights.

That very night, Long Chen signed the contract with Gao Guoliang overnight. He transferred the precise amount of 2.8 billion to Gao’s designated company account without a cent missing.

At the same time, Long Chen got the phone numbers or WeChat of the other company CEOs on the list from Gao Guoliang. Thanks to Gao’s connection, those CEOs were all very polite to Long Chen.

Gao Guoliang was also very efficient in his work, sending someone to the Chenyue Film and Television Company the next day to transfer the work.

Li Yuechan was thrilled, but when she found out that Long Chen had spent 2.8 billion to secure the drama, she was stunned and called Long Chen, "Isn’t this a bit too risky?"

"Without venturing into the tiger’s den, one cannot get the tiger’s cubs. Don’t worry, no matter win or lose, we can afford to play," Long Chen said with a laugh.

"I think when you go crazy, no one can match you."

Li Yuechan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Just do your job well; we’re about to start hyping up this drama for a launch, to draw in viewers. Check your account later; I’ll send you another sum of money. Use it to blast out ads and for other affairs, and don’t be afraid to spend."

After finishing, Long Chen hung up and transferred ten billion to Li Yuechan.

When Li Yuechan saw the amount credited, she was so shocked that her phone nearly dropped to the ground.

Ten billion...

This was simply outrageous.

She never imagined that their company could earn ten billion after getting off the ground.

But now, right at the start of their development, she had already received ten billion, on top of the money Long Chen had previously provided. The sum was astronomical.

Li Yuechan, compelled by her feelings, called Long Chen again, "Where does all this money come from? Husband, I’m really panicking."

"Well, as things stand, it seems I can’t keep it from you any longer. I can tell you some secrets," Long Chen said in a low voice.

"You... just tell me, I’m listening."

Li Yuechan nervously clenched her fists.

If she couldn’t be clear about the source of the money, she really dared not spend it.

"Yuechan, if I said I had a hundred trillion, would you believe me?"

Long Chen asked with great seriousness.

Li Yuechan rolled her eyes, "Asshole, speak to me like a normal person."
