Actor: Thank you.

Du Hua sat opposite Zhang Yuan and Huang Xiaomao, and had his assistant make tea for him.

"Thank you." Zhang Yuan waved his hand in thanks and took a leisurely sip.

They even leisurely inquired about the origin and variety of the tea.

Du Hua knew about Zhang Yuan, but had never met him.

I am quite familiar with Huang Xiaomao, after all, there are only so many people in the music circle in Beijing.

Moreover, Du Hua is very familiar with people from Hunan TV.

Huang Xiaomao had just participated in the behind-the-scenes work and judging of "Super Girl", and the two had quite a bit of interaction.

She was quite pleased when Huang Xiaomao called to say that someone wanted to invest in her company.

At that time, Yuehua only had some scattered businesses and had not made much progress.

As his main business, he is an agent, and he only has one well-known artist under his management.

Thanks.

This is the legendary "Artist Zero".

Xie Na has grown a lot over the years, especially after breaking up with Liu Ye.

With Teacher He's guidance and the influence he's had, he's become more mature and composed in his actions.

I had known Du Hua for a long time, and after I learned that she had started her own business, I signed a contract with her company.

It's really just a way to show support, so that the other person has a reputation when they're out and about.

"Xie Na is an artist from Yuehua Entertainment."

If you say that, this small, run-down company will be looked at with more respect.

Friends help each other, and Miss Xie has indeed made progress.

But there has been no complete progress.

The title was given, and the friendship was shown, but Du Hua didn't earn any coins.

Xie Na runs her own company and manages all her entertainment and management work, including the music work that Yuehua Entertainment is responsible for, and she doesn't let Yuehua Entertainment get a single penny of it.

Helping me is fine, but making money off me is not allowed...

They provided all support except for funding.

Later, she even "reverse-hyped" Wang Yibo. After Wang Yibo became famous, she, who had always claimed to be his "senior sister", became his "senior sister".

Theoretically, it's correct, but it's only theoretical.

They barely know her at all.

However, the name still works. Now, when Du Hua introduces his company to Zhang Yuan, he mentions Xie Na's name.

“I recognize her.”

"But is she a good fit for your company?"

"To be honest, her personal image isn't very good."

"The business conversion rate of funny women is not very high."

Zhang Yuan spoke frankly.

At this point, if it's for investment, he'll definitely try to "lower the price."

The premise of negotiating a lower price is to praise or criticize the other party.

To bargain, you definitely have to point out the negative aspects.

His assessment of Xie Na wasn't entirely wrong.

First of all, this person clearly shows signs of imitating the hosting style of Little S, one of the S sisters from Taiwan.

But while others are flamboyant, she's crazy; their styles and personalities are somewhat different.

The S sisters are quite popular in mainland China now, and their endorsement deals are not cheap.

But the older sister is still the most prominent, while the younger sister, as the "comedic girl," is clearly lacking.

Moreover, even if all the S sisters were together, they wouldn't be enough for Fan Bingbing to fight alone.

When a woman is associated with comedy, her gender is downplayed, and brands targeting women will not hire her as a spokesperson.

Looking at Jia Lin's situation, I understand.

Xie Na is even less impressive, as her endorsements and business deals are mainly concentrated on second- and third-tier brands.

Using this as a starting point, Zhang Yuan undermined the value of Yuehua Entertainment by negating Xie Na.

Du Hua's lips twitched.

To criticize my best friend like that... If Xie Na found out, knowing her personality, she'd probably go crazy.

Actually, she had no idea that even if Xie Na were right next to him, Zhang Yuan would still dare to say such things, and the other party would have to admit it afterward.

When Du Hua heard Huang Xiaomao say that Zhang Yuan was coming to invest, she thought it was a "cooperation".

Musical collaborations.

I'm overjoyed! I was just in need of a signboard!
When Brother Huang heard her idea, he almost burst out laughing.

Would someone who'd casually offer to invest 4000 million in my wife's website join your lousy little company?
Did you dream about eating braised pork knuckle and get too tired of it?
Tell her in a relatively tactful way that they are there to be shareholders, not to work for you.

He wants you to work for him...

Huang Xiaomao knew that Zhang Yuan had brought him here because he wanted him to help the company develop after investing in Lehua, since he was experienced.

At the same time, because of his wife Li Jing and the shareholder relationship of Lefeng.com, he essentially planted himself as an "insider" in Lehua.

This is perfectly clear, there's no need to hide it.

Zhang Yuan did this purely to protect his own interests as a shareholder.

Huang Xiaomao can also have a decent job, make good use of his strengths, and at the same time deepen his relationship with Li Jing and Dai Jun, two senior figures in the industry.

Working together is beneficial in every way.

At the same time, it was also to suppress and guard against Du Hua.

Because this woman is a "ruthless person".

It should be said that most women who can start their own businesses independently are ruthless.

Du Hua wasn't quite at the level of "Wolf Exterminator," but he was still ruthless and ambitious.

He is more capable than Yang Siwei and Zeng Jia, who are under his command. Of course, his slightly older age also plays a role.

In 09, she gave birth to a son, the chubby boy who later appeared on the reality show "Transformation".

Starting a business while having a baby shows how impressive that is.

But what's most impressive isn't my current personal ability, but my future potential.

This person later remarried.

After divorcing her current husband, she married Sun Yiding.

Who is this Mr. Sun?

A major internal power struggle among well-known home appliance giants is also unfolding at the same time.

Mr. Sun was the top henchman of the professional broker who planned to bring in foreign investment to acquire a much larger company.

He and the boss together sent the head of the family to prison.

However, in a few months, he and his boss will also face backlash, be prosecuted, and ousted from power.

However, thanks to its backing by overseas capital, it continued to thrive in the future.

If you look at the situation with JD.com, it's actually quite similar to the situation with the home appliance giants.

Lehua Entertainment's IPO was also orchestrated by Mr. Sun after Du Hua and Mr. Sun got married.

But that's for the future.

We can't give up now just because there might be risks in the future.

Just take precautions.

Furthermore, Zhang Yuan was confident that when that time came, he would definitely have stronger control and would not need to fear this kind of foreign capital's front man.

Du Hua doesn't have that kind of ability yet.

Seeing that he wasn't buying Xie Na's act, Du Hua changed tactics and came up with something "even bigger".

"Actually, besides Xie Na, we also have a collaboration with another female star."

"She's a top-tier, currently popular actress," Du Hua said confidently.

"Who is it?" "Cheng Hao!" Du Hua said firmly.

But in return, he remained silent.

Zhang Yuan: …

How come I didn't know about this?

"You and Cheng Hao must have worked together before, you're quite familiar with each other, right?"

“Ah…” Zhang Yuan nodded blankly.

Familiar, too familiar.

I know how many moles she has on her butt.

"We at Yuehua Entertainment will be collaborating with Cheng Hao to carry out music activities," Du Hua said.

Zhang Yuan immediately took out his phone and dialed the number.

"it is good."

"Hey, what's up?"

"Yuehua Entertainment said they want to collaborate with you on music?"

"Who is Yuehua?" Cheng Hao was busy rehearsing a play.

"Du Hua knows about the company, right?"

"Oh, I know. She contacted me and asked if I was interested in releasing a new album."

“I’m thinking about it,” my dear sister replied.

"Alright, let's put this aside for now. I'm talking to Du Hua right now."

"Let's talk about whether or not to cooperate after I've finished my discussions."

"If the conversation doesn't go well, then let's not cooperate."

After saying that, he put down his phone.

Du Hua: ...

This time, it was the other party who remained silent.

One of the most embarrassing things in the world is when you try to show off and accidentally run into the person in question.

"You want to cooperate with Cheng Hao?" Zhang Yuan asked after a short pause.

"Yes."

"Then we'll see how you perform."

Du Hua: ...

One act of showing off resulted in months of social withdrawal.

Du Hua could sense that Zhang Yuan was blatantly "threatening" her.

Let her know that whether or not she can cooperate with Cheng Hao is a decision she can make herself.

"Alright, enough with the fluff. Everyone's time is precious. Let's get down to business." Zhang Yuan didn't need her introduction; he knew there wouldn't be anything interesting to say.

“I understand that you are in talks with Han Geng about a collaboration, right?”

At the end of last year, Han Geng had a falling out with SM Entertainment, the South Korean management company.

Then the remaining Super Junior members also began to rebel.

Han Laoge was the first person to start a Korean entertainment industry career in China.

Because of Super Junior's terrifying influence... just how terrifying?

Of course, these are all girls who aren't very good at studying; those who want to get into Tsinghua or Peking University don't have time to chase after celebrities.

Zhang Yuan also disliked Koreans; they were pretentious, stingy, and always acting crazy. Most importantly, as a Chinese person, he simply couldn't accept that their food was so terrible.

It's a complete waste of food.

But it's a fool not to make money when you can.

If you don't make money, someone else will.

The reason Yuehua Entertainment was able to rise to prominence was actually because of Han Geng.

Du Hua didn't say because she was still in confidential negotiations.

Han Geng is also very shrewd, and he negotiated with many companies, not just Yuehua.

So when Han Geng's name was mentioned, Du Hua opened his mouth in surprise.

"I have some connections in South Korea," Zhang Yuan explained vaguely.

"It won't be easy to win over Han Geng."

“I can offer some help in this matter.”

"Whether it's funding or film and television resources."

"Attracting talent boils down to these two things."

Du Hua is indeed short of money, and signing well-known artists requires expenses.

I discussed in detail with the other party the "technical support" I could provide.

Zhang Yuan demonstrated his abilities and connections, which greatly impressed Du Hua.

"If I can't handle Jun'er, I can certainly handle you..."

The next question becomes "exchange conditions".

Huang Xiaomao avoided the conversation, and the two of them exchanged their intentions alone.

“30%.” Zhang Yuan said, holding up three fingers as always.

"Too much!" Du Hua was naturally unhappy, as it would greatly reduce his shareholding.

“I’ll give you 2000 million.” Zhang Yuan didn’t waste any more time with her and added, “In cash.”

After the numbers appeared, the other person's brows visibly relaxed.

Du Hua received a total of only US$200 million in equity gains from Huayou Century.

Moreover, she wouldn't fully commit to the startup; she used the money provided by Kongzhong Corporation.

So far, the company has only invested less than 2000 million.

Zhang Yuan's offer of 2000 million for 3% is actually very reasonable; it's already a premium.

After stating the price, he didn't try to argue; he simply got up, straightened his clothes, and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Du, you're not the only one starting a brokerage firm in the market."

"This money can be given to you or to someone else."

"Whoever has more money has more chips."

"And those with more chips have more opportunities."

This is a reminder.

If you don't give it to me, I'll give it to someone else.

When others become rich, they'll steal Han Geng away from them.

"Call me back." He turned and left.

After leaving the house, greet Huang Xiaomao and try to persuade him again.

Brother Huang understood perfectly well that the two of them were just playing good cop/bad cop.

After parting ways with his older brother, Zhang Yuan spoke with Li Jing over the phone to discuss the investment in Lefeng.com.

The other party subtly hinted that he had invested in Yuehua Entertainment again, and wondered if there might be financial problems.

Zhang Yuan reassured her that he had a plan and would not break his promise.

He didn't even dare to say that he has over 100 million yuan sitting in the bank with nowhere to spend it...

If outsiders found out, they would definitely wear out his doorstep.

Even after investing in both of these companies, he still has a lot of money left to spend, which is causing him a lot of worry.

However, a new goal has emerged, a goal that can cost a lot of money.

But before it all began, he had to keep his promise and attend the wedding of those two lovable clowns, Deng Chao and Sun Li… ​​(End of Chapter)
