Chapter 1070 The Thoughts of the Weak
Both sides are still weighing the pros and cons.

"Let's each take a step back. I won't make things difficult for you, Mr. Wang."

Li Mu took a deep breath.

Wang Jianlin and Zeng Maojun both watched closely.

"26 billion!" Li Mu raised two fingers. "With such an offer, I believe I am sincere."

"26 million!"

Wang Jianlin was quite surprised at this moment, because he was still thinking that Li Mu would return 24 billion or 25 billion, and he was also thinking about going a little higher. Now one hundred million would be helpful to Wanda.

But he didn't expect that Li Mu directly offered a price of 26 billion. This offer was indeed unexpected.

Zeng Maojun was also stunned, and then looked at Wang Jianlin.

Wang Jianlin's face suddenly showed some emotion, "To be honest, this offer is very sincere."

"If we go any higher, it would seem that we are not sincere enough. So, 26 billion is better and you can take the shares." Wang Jianlin finally nodded.

"But I have a small request, and I don't know if Director Wang is willing to agree to it."

Li Mu suddenly spoke at this moment, and everyone's heart was lifted.

"you say!"

"If Mr. Wang wants to sell shares later, Mengying Media has the first right of refusal at the same price." Li Mu's eyes were sharp. What he wanted was everything. He would rather pay more money to make sure of this matter.

Wang Jianlin pondered for a moment, and finally said slowly, "Okay!"

There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of Li Mu and Ye Ning.

"I have asked someone to work on the letter of intent. Let's have some tea first." Zeng Maojun poured tea for everyone with a smile on his face.

Obviously, once the judgment is reached, it is natural to enter the stage of friendly communication. What's more, the relationship between the two sides has never been bad.

The agreement only confirms the intention to sign, but there are still a lot of issues that need to be followed up, which will naturally be handled by the professional teams hired or owned by both parties.

As long as there are no unexpected problems, it will not affect the acquisition process.

"It's getting late. I've booked a restaurant." Zeng Maojun glanced at his phone, stood up and invited with a smile.

"The food Maojun ordered tastes really good. I used to go there often!" Wang Jianlin also said.

"Okay, let's give it a try."

Li Mu stood up and responded with a faint smile.

A dinner after a negotiation generally enhances the relationship between the two parties.

The restaurant is located on an old street in the imperial capital. Its facade is not ostentatious, and it reveals a unique and ancient charm in its low-key style.

Although surrounded by modern buildings, the appearance of this restaurant retains the solemnity and weight of the past.

There are not many decorations at the entrance. The only sign is an old-fashioned wooden plaque with the words "Hanlin Pavilion" inlaid in gold on a black background. Its quaintness reveals an unspoken nobility.

As you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by a faint blend of wood and tea aromas. The air is filled with a sense of tranquility and heaviness that seems to come from a century-old store.

The floor is paved with bluestone, and traces of time occasionally appear between the stone slabs. The restaurant is softly lit, with warm light emanating from the carved copper lamps, reflecting on the exquisite wooden tables and chairs.

Each table is carefully decorated, with white satin tablecloths and exquisite wooden carved chairs around it. The carvings on the chair backs look both ancient and elegant.

On the wooden table, the tableware is neatly arranged, and even the angle of the chopsticks has been carefully adjusted. Every detail reveals the ultimate sophistication.

As Li Mu and Ye Ning were led to the dining table by the waiter, Wang Jianlin and Zeng Maojun seemed more familiar and had obviously been here many times.

"The tea here is always exceptionally good," Wang Jianlin gestured with a smile.

Li Mu and Ye Ning both took a sip and then praised it highly.

During the dinner, everyone was chatting and laughing, and the tense atmosphere at the negotiation table seemed to have disappeared long ago.

After the meal, Wang Jianlin and Li Mu walked in front, while Zeng Maojun and Ye Ning walked together behind.

"Mr. Li, do you know why I finally sold it to Mengying?" Wang Jianlin asked casually while looking at the road in front of him.

"I think it's not just because of the price." Li Mu responded with a smile. Price is definitely the main factor, but theoretically if he takes Mengying's price out to negotiate with Ruyi, he might have a chance to get that price. Even if it's low, it probably won't be that low.

Wang Jianlin smiled when he heard this, "Many people approached me and Maojun, saying that if we sell it to you, there will be a giant in the film and television industry in the future, which may not be good for the development of the industry."

Li Mu walked slowly, smiling without saying a word.

"I scoff at these comments, saying that a giant company is bad for the development of the industry. When Wanda Film acquired this and that, there were also similar voices."

Wang Jianlin said disdainfully, "They deserve it because they have such weak ideas and their business cannot survive."

"So, Mr. Wang, did I spend too much money?" Li Mu responded jokingly.

"Hahaha, that's not the case. If you, Mr. Li, give me less money, I still don't mind selling it to someone else. But under the same conditions, I hope Mengying Media can become this giant."

Li Mu looked at Wang Jianlin. His face was naturally much older than before, but his voice was still powerful and his eyes were still fierce.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, and I wish you a successful listing!"

"In that case, Mr. Li, you won't get the remaining 51%," Wang Jianlin joked.

"So what? I'll be the second largest shareholder."

He also doesn't know whether Wang Jianlin can finally overcome the crisis, but that doesn't stop him from making a wish that he will do well. It's always better to wish people well than to wish them to fail.

However, the real estate pit is too big, so big that countless people's money can't make any waves in it. All he can do is buy Wanda Cinemas at a more fair price.

"Mr. Wang!" Zeng Maojun shouted after watching Li Mu and Ye Ning walk away.

"Li Mu's price is good news!" Wang Jianlin couldn't help but sigh, "I don't know when Si Cong can reach this level."

Thinking of Wang Sicong, Wang Jianlin couldn't help but sigh. Li Mu, who was about the same age as him, had already talked to him about a deal worth billions.
However, something happened that neither party expected. When they came out, someone happened to take a photo of them and uploaded it to the Internet.

In a short time, the news spread like wildfire and was everywhere.

There has been a lot of discussion online, with people speculating whether this meeting between Li Mu and Wang Jianlin means that Wanda Films will really be handed over to Mengying Media?

The media were also very excited and wrote all kinds of articles and analyses, fearing that they would miss any details. They even gave detailed interpretations of the actions of the people in the photos.

Li Mu returned home and looked at the photos in the phone Liu Yifei handed over. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
