Chapter 200: Good news one after another (skip)

"Congratulations on making a wise choice."

Under the setting sun at the seaside, Huang Xu sat on a chair by the beach, feeling the refreshing sea breeze, and talked to Chen Fangyi on the other end of the phone with a happy expression on his face.

There was no way. He thought Chen Fangyi was ready to reject him, and he had already started planning how to compete with him next, when he received his call!

Although I say I am not afraid of competition, who doesn't want to save some trouble?

After all, it’s better to have less trouble than more.

Moreover, he could also gain Chen Fangyi and temporarily take on the role of the company's head. How could he not be happy?
Therefore, Huang Xu, who was very happy, chatted with Chen Fangyi on the phone for a while. After briefly discussing how to cooperate, just when he was about to hang up the phone, he heard Chen Fangyi's puzzled question.

"Why did you choose to cooperate with me instead of competing with me?"

“Why not cooperate?”

After hearing Chen Fangyi's question, Huang Xu did not give any explanation, but asked a question in return.

Hearing Huang Xu say this, Chen Fangyi on the opposite side was obviously stunned for a moment, and then muttered to himself:

"Yes, why not cooperate?"

He didn't continue chatting with Huang Xu. Instead, after making an appointment with Huang Xu to meet tomorrow to discuss the matter in detail, he hung up the phone.

However, after hanging up the phone, he was still a little dazed as he looked at the phone, and kept thinking about something.

However, his behavior made the woman sitting opposite him worried.

"Fang Yi, what's wrong? Is that person's request too much?"

"If the other party goes too far, then we won't cooperate with him. At worst, we can just fight and see. We may not necessarily lose."

"And even if we lose, the most we can do is just fail on this investment, which won't cost us much money."

"As long as our rebate network is still there, we will have no problem."

"."

After listening to his girlfriend's caring words, Chen Fangyi finally came to his senses from his previous confusion. Looking at the woman opposite him who was getting angrier and angrier but whose concern was evident in her words, a happy smile appeared on his face.

Isn't it a happy thing to have a girlfriend who cares about you so much and fully supports you?

So he pulled the woman into his arms, kissed her hard, and then comforted her:
"It's okay, it's not because of this."

"What's that?"

The woman looked at Chen Fangyi's expression and realized that there was indeed nothing wrong with him, so she let go of her worries.

But then I became curious about what had happened that had kept Chen Fangyi silent for so long.

When faced with his girlfriend's question, Chen Fangyi did not hide it, but said it in an exclamatory tone.

"When you say business, isn't it better to cooperate?"

He still feels a little emotional now. He didn't expect that he would be taught a lesson by such a young man like Huang Xu.

Although he is actually a young man, he is only a few years older than Huang Xu.

He founded a rebate website when he was in college and earned considerable profits from it.

Most importantly, he obtained investments from several popular companies, made millions of dollars in profits, and initially achieved financial freedom.

It can be said that his smooth journey ahead made him a little inflated.

This morning, after meeting Huang Xu, I was quite shocked by the software he brought out.

But he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

After all, the software he saw was obviously a foreign version and had not yet been promoted in China. Otherwise, he should have heard about it long ago.

Therefore, his idea at that time was that he should speed up and prepare to compete with Huang Xu.

Although the other party's software was indeed more perfect than what he had imagined, it actually aroused his interest and he wanted to compete with Huang Xu to see who would win in the end.

Fortunately, since he had already made plans to compete with Huang Xu, he began to investigate Huang Xu's software through his connections.

After all, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

So he used his connections to contact people he knew in Korea, hoping to investigate the situation of Huang Xu's software.

Who would have thought that this investigation would give me such a shock.

That is, he discovered that Huang Xu's software now has millions of users in South Korea.

Yes, millions of users.

Although Huang Xu's company has not disclosed the situation of its software, people outside do not know the detailed data.

But judging from the fact that most women around them have installed this app on their phones, they have at least millions of users.

And this is not what Chen Fangyi fears the most.

There were two things that really scared him.

The first is that the promotional methods and popularization speed of this software were really beyond his imagination.

If there had not been the precedent of Huang Xu, how could he have imagined that someone would actually promote it through a charitable organization.

Moreover, the software was popularized among Korean women in just over a month.

Yes, it is popularization.

Although he did not have detailed data, according to the people he contacted, most women in their area now have the Mayu app installed on their mobile phones.

That's why he dared to make such a speculation, that is, Huang Xu has already popularized the software among Korean women.

Of course, if it were just this, he would not feel afraid. At most, he would sigh that Huang Xu's publicity was really a stroke of genius.

What really made him feel scared was actually the second point.

That is, since this software is already so popular among Korean women, it is still free to use, and there is no intention to make money through the software.

Although according to his plan, his software will be free to use in the early stage, but when the number of users reaches a certain level, he will start to find ways to make money.

Otherwise, why would we create this software and set up this company?

What he didn't expect was that Huang Xu's software has now occupied the entire Korean market, and he still hasn't considered the issue of profitability.

Instead, he appeared in front of me, my potential competitor, to discuss cooperation.

This was what made him feel scared.

This shows that Huang Xu's plan is definitely more than just this, and he must have a bigger plan behind it.

That's why he refrained from any profit-making activities. He also had another guess, which was that Huang Xu might have already started to set up in China, but hadn't had time to start it yet, and then he found his software and came to him.

That's why he felt a little scared, and after careful consideration, he called Huang Xu.

There is no way. Although I am conceited and think that I have always been lucky, I also have to face the reality.

I have just started making my own software and it is still in its initial version.

Huang Xu's software has now captured the female market in a country. Although the population of that country is not large, it is still a country.

Now it seems that it was just Huang Xu's experimental field.

He should have everything ready by now. He just needs to wait until the time is right to publicize it in China, thus not giving his opponents a chance to react.

After thinking this through, Chen Fangyi naturally lost the desire to fight and was ready to admit defeat.

But there is another more important thing, that is, his software company has only been established for a few months and has not cost a lot of money and time.

At most, it's just a pity that I just wasted my entrepreneurial idea.

But it was precisely because of this that he was inspired by what Huang Xu said.

Because he didn't expect that even in this situation, Huang Xu would still choose to cooperate instead of kicking himself out.

According to his thinking, if he had this kind of advantage, he would never choose to cooperate, but would directly crush his competitors.

You can obviously eat your fill, why should you share some with others?

That's why he fell into deep thought after being asked by Huang Xu why he didn't cooperate.

But now he has recovered from his shock and slowly began to explain the reason to his girlfriend.

But he still felt a strong curiosity about Huang Xu, who was a few years younger than him.

"What kind of person are you?"

However, if Huang Xu knew about his thoughts, he would definitely laugh at him, saying that he was thinking too much and that he did not have such sophisticated calculations.

And now in Chen Fangyi's mind, Huang Xu, who was unfathomable in the mansion, was quietly enjoying the beautiful sunset on the beach.

"A-choo, ah~~ sneeze."

After Huang Xu sneezed several times in succession, he rubbed his itchy nose.

"Who is talking about me?"

After saying this casually, Huang Xu looked at the drink he had already finished, then stood up and prepared to return to the hotel where he was staying to plan carefully what to say to Chen Fangyi after meeting him tomorrow.

After all, before he came here, he just wanted to try his luck.

Unexpectedly, the other party agreed.

This surprised him a little, and some of his future plans needed to be changed a little bit.

However, what Huang Xu did not expect was that before he returned to the hotel, he actually received another good news.

"You mean, Kim Kwang-soo has agreed to our acquisition now."

"Yes, Mr. Huang, and the other party was very straightforward this time, and the requests were relatively reasonable."

Kim Tae-woo picked up the phone and carefully began to tell Huang Xu what happened today.

After he, James, and the garrison officers visited CCM this afternoon, Kim Kwang-soo decisively gave in and agreed to Huang Xu's request to acquire the company.

And after James and others left, he was quite cooperative when negotiating the price with him. Apart from asking for cash when acquiring the company, he did not make any other demands.

Of course, there was another most important thing when he called Huang Xu today, which was that the amount to acquire Kim Kwang Soo's company was a little less than expected, only 2 billion won.

Yes, he has such a big company, and now he can get all the shares for 2 billion won.

Although 2 billion seems not a small amount, if converted into Chinese currency, it is more than 10 million.

But that also depends on the actual situation of the company.

You should know that CCM company was founded not long ago, it was only established in 2007.

But they still have a long history, it’s just that the company was not called this name before.

The company's assets include not only a complete idol training system, but also a large number of song copyrights.

This is also the reason why Kim Kwang-soo offered 2 billion won.

Of course, this company could actually be even more valuable, but who could blame them for the fact that last year their popular idol group Tara was exposed for a bullying scandal and then boycotted by the entire Korean society?
Because of this incident, the company's income became insufficient to make ends meet.

You have to know that in this era, it takes a huge price to train a qualified idol.

It is completely different from the assembly line idols of later generations.

For idols to debut nowadays, they need to train for several years before the best few qualified candidates are selected to debut as a group.

Compared to the fourth and fifth generation girl groups that debuted after only a short period of training and were unable to sing or dance, the professional capabilities of today's idols can be said to be a world of difference.

And the brokerage companies also need to spend a huge amount of money to train these trainees.

The company is not only responsible for the daily food, accommodation and training of these people during their training in the past few years, but even some of the idols' early image adjustments basically need to be paid for by the company.

Some larger companies even pay trainees pocket money every month.

By this calculation, each trainee will need to spend a considerable amount of money.

And in the end, not all trainees can debut.

At this time, all their expenses were paid unilaterally by the company.

Moreover, most trainees need to train for several years, and some may even have to train for eight or nine years before they can debut.

It is conceivable what a huge expense this is and what a burden it is on the company.

Moreover, even if their own artists make their debut, it is still unknown whether they can become famous or earn back the initial investment.

Therefore, although CCM company has Tara, a first-line girl group, the company’s assets are not that much.

Of course, more importantly, Tara has only been in the industry for a relatively short time and has not yet earned enough money for the company, which is also a very important reason.

This time, the single they released in Japan did not achieve the ideal results. The investment and returns were somewhat disproportionate, which was also an important reason why Kim Kwang-soo fell into a financial crisis and looked for investors to cooperate.

It was precisely because of this that when he faced Kim Tae-woo, he only quoted a price of 2 billion won.

Otherwise, if Tara hadn't had what happened last year, the revenue that the Tara group alone could bring to the company every year would be more than this figure.

After Huang Xu heard what Jin Taiyu said, he first praised him and then continued:
"In that case, let's notify James and let him start according to the plan."
