Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

Chapter 707 Two people are just right, three people are too crowded

The Li family spearheaded the establishment of the Asian Film and Television Foundation.

Menacing.

It's simply impossible to invest in just one mainland VCD manufacturer to compete against the child prodigy.

If it were him.

Lu Yang will definitely invest in all the companies that rank second, third, fourth, fifth, and below in the mainland market share, as long as they are willing to align themselves with the Li family and form an alliance. He'll create a pack of wolves and tigers, since he has plenty of money.

Use yourself to save others.

Lu Yang had no doubt that if he could think of it, the other party could definitely think of it too.

Therefore, what needs to be done now is to take precautions and eliminate potential threats before the Li family realizes what's happening. We can't wait until the enemy discovers the problem.

"Boss, do we really have to go in such a hurry?"

Startled by Lu Yang's seriousness, Xu Siqi asked worriedly.

"I'm afraid it's already too late."

Lu Yang shook his head, his brows still furrowed.

This time, the Li family's swift reaction caught him somewhat off guard.

The advantage of the reborn is the ability to foresee the future, but when it comes to dealing with unexpected events, especially those caused by their own time-space butterfly, they are no better than ordinary people.

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his reputation as Li Ka-shing.

Xu Siqi quickly put away her worry and said with anticipation, "Then, boss, can I go with you? Don't misunderstand, I, I don't mean to bother you, I mean, going abroad is not like being in the mainland, I'm afraid you won't have anyone to take care of you."

Ever since that thin layer of paper was pierced.

This scoundrel promoted her to the position of chairman's assistant. However, to her utter surprise, after her position in the company was elevated, he stopped taking her with him on business trips, saying that he couldn't let her, the chairman's assistant, do the work of a former secretary.

She really wanted to say, "I do!"

But this jerk of a boss clearly doesn't want her following him around all the time, taking her like a little shadow wherever he goes.

Over time, she began to regret it, wishing she hadn't broken the ice. Although she finally got what she wanted, she also lost the opportunity to be by her boss's side all the time.

And this time...

The boss is going abroad to discuss the repurchase of the shares held by the foreign shareholders of Wan Yan Electronics. It seems she will stay abroad longer than she expected.

She really wanted to go with them, because only there could she be with the stinky boss without any worries, and the stinky boss would belong to her alone without reservation.

Unlike Shenzhen.

She was always cautious and full of worries, fearing that Sister Wei Shu from the company and Sister Mingyue, the boss's wife, would find out.

Seeing the light in her eyes, Lu Yang guessed that tears were welling up, so he nodded reluctantly: "Alright, you take care of what I asked you to do first, and then we'll meet up at the airport this afternoon."

Xu Siqi immediately stopped crying and smiled: "Yes, don't worry, boss, I'll take care of it right away."

After saying that, she turned around quickly, swung her ponytail, and skipped away with the folder in her hands.

Lu Yang's gaze was deep, and then he shook his head.

His sole purpose in going to Los Angeles was to repurchase the 20% original equity stake in Wanyan Electronics from Sun Yansheng.

Originally, there was no rush. The delay was to wait until the day foreshadowed in the future arrived, when Wan Yan Electronics, under the leadership of Brother Jiang Wanli, was on the verge of bankruptcy. Then, he would step in to turn the tide and save the company from collapse by buying back the shares held by the two of them, which would save at least a large amount of money.

But now, a trip to Hong Kong has unexpectedly offended the Li family. Now they are coming on strong, whether they want to save face or dominate the domestic VCD market.

Time is running out. We can't just sit here and wait to die. We have to strike first and drag things out. Once the other side realizes his weakness and has the same idea, with the Li family's wealth, Lu Yang will definitely not be a match for them.

At that point, it won't just be a passive situation. If Wan Yan Electronics falls into the hands of the other party, even if they only hold 51% of the shares, while Lu Yang still holds the current 49%, it will be a fatal blow to Lu Yang's business layout, especially in the area of ​​chip-derived technology entities.

Lu Yang will not accept it.

Therefore, a resolute response must be given.

Although the Series C funding for Little Prodigy was very important, Lu Yang could no longer participate in the entire process. He hurriedly went to the site of the current negotiations between the two parties. Fortunately, Little Prodigy's company headquarters had now moved into the Century Building under the group's name, although it was not on the same floor as the group's headquarters. Lu Yang quickly arrived at the conference room.

They called Xiao Jun out and explained the situation.

"That's the situation right now. It all depends on you. You're now the rightful president of Little Divine Power, and your position is secure. You don't need to worry about anything. You can take charge of negotiating with Goldman Sachs Asia. As for the bottom line, you can discuss it with your sister and Lao Mou. They also have a significant stake in Little Divine Power. You can even go back and ask your father for advice. Once you have a result, just give me a call from overseas."

Lu Yang had already figured out who Xiao Jun should turn to if he encountered any problems while he was away.

And he was at ease.

Xiao Jun, however, was somewhat unsure of himself and clearly lacked courage. He used an awkward laugh to cover up his unease and said, "Then I'll really make the decision. If we can't reach an agreement, or if the deal we made isn't quite to your satisfaction, you can't blame me when you come back."

Knowing that Lu Yang had more important things to do, he hadn't thought about keeping Lu Yang here. However, since it involved a financing case that might exceed 50 billion US dollars, and he was a rookie with almost zero experience in this area, how could he not be worried?

Lu Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we all have similar experience in this area. Be bold and talk to them. If you don't understand something, you can ask Lao He. Secretary He is an old classmate of the president of Shenzhen University. They are both experts in economics. I have already informed them in advance. Tomorrow, a group of experts in economics led by Shenzhen University will come to the company to temporarily serve as your advisory group..."

Xiao Jun has been arranged.

Lu Yang went into the conference room and greeted the head of Goldman Sachs Asia. "Mr. Hong, I'm so sorry, I have another flight to catch this afternoon. I need to go to Los Angeles in North America... Regarding copyright issues, the whole world is currently supporting and protecting the rights of creators. I believe that relevant laws in mainland China will be introduced soon... This is what I'm thinking..." It is said that Lu Yang's trip to North America is to consolidate the copyright-related aspects of his VCD industry chain, build up a moat, and create an opportunity for Little Prodigy to go public in the US in the future without anyone using patents to make trouble.

That's true. The copyright situation in the mainland market is currently chaotic, and nobody cares about plagiarism and counterfeiting. But if Lu Yang were to acquire Wan Yan Electronics in its entirety and obtain full copyright for the VCD frame structure, how difficult would it be to sign a formal patent licensing agreement with Xiao Shen Tong?

Great news! Huge good news! The Mediterranean-looking Mr. Hong beamed with joy, saying, "Mr. Lu, you're too kind. Business is important, business is important. I get along very well with Mr. Xiao, and I believe we'll have a result soon regarding your company's Series C financing... Here's what we'll do: if you encounter any difficulties in Los Angeles, Mr. Lu, please feel free to contact me anytime..."

Lu Yang thanked him.

Leaving the meeting room, he made a phone call home, "Honey, I'm going abroad for a bit, to North America, it's something very important..."

Yin Mingyue never made things difficult for Lu Yang regarding company matters. She simply said, "I wonder what the weather is like in North America. Should we bring some thermal underwear? I'll send you a few jackets."

Lu Yang quickly replied, "No need. The weather there might be a bit colder, but who am I? I'm as strong as an ox. How could I be troubled by a few degrees of temperature drop? Besides, the coat company's wardrobe has them readily available and always keeps them on hand. I'll have someone bring a few more coats to put in my suitcase later."

Yin Mingyue: "Okay, then take care, my husband."

Hang up the phone.

She suddenly felt inexplicably down.

"You kid."

Ma Xiulan, who was helping to take care of her grandson, probably noticed something was wrong and said, "Since you can't bear to part with him, why don't you just say so? You want to go with him too. Anyway, Fanfan is almost weaned, and I can take care of him at home. You can go along and relax, and see if the moon is really brighter in foreign countries than in China. Listen to me, make another call and talk to Yangzi properly."

She had always wanted to rekindle the old flame between her eldest daughter and her youngest son-in-law, attempting to use her two daughters to tightly bind this successful billionaire son-in-law.

However, after seeing her eldest daughter resign from her secure job at CCTV to start her own business and, with the help of her younger daughter and son-in-law, her company is thriving and making a fortune, she gradually gave up her original idea.

I buried it deep in my heart.

If given the chance, who would want to rely on others?
Who wouldn't want to become a wealthy family just by standing there?
Since the eldest daughter has this intention, and it seems that she is doing quite well with the help of the younger daughter and son-in-law, let's let her do it for now.

So now she's back to her old ways, wholeheartedly giving advice to her youngest daughter on how to win over her future son-in-law and how to deal with those vixens outside.

After hearing this, Yin Mingyue lowered her head and pondered for a moment, but when she raised her head, she still shook her head: "Forget it, Mom, why make things difficult for Brother Lu Yang? Brother Lu Yang is going to take care of important business for the company this time, I can't go and cause trouble."

Holding the child, Ma Xiulan was furious when she saw her cowardly appearance. "Look at you, how can you keep a man like this? Don't blame your mother. The reason I wanted to marry your sister into the family was because you were too honest and I was afraid you would be bullied. I wanted your sister to help you... Sigh, it's too late to say anything now. Think about it yourself."

After saying that, she angrily picked up the child and stomped upstairs.

Yin Mingyue bit her lower lip, stared at her mother, hugged her son, and went upstairs in a bad mood.

No reason.

"Pfft."

She suddenly burst out laughing.

It seems that Mom has finally returned to normal and is no longer insisting on squeezing my sister into their small family. As a small family, two people are just right, and three people are really too crowded.

Ma Xiulan was worried that her daughter would be taken away from her position as the mistress of the house by some vixen outside, but Yin Mingyue herself was not worried at all about her position being taken away. Instead, she was more worried about her older sister at home.

The older sister was different from other women; she knew that her threat always came from her twin sister.

. . . . . .

Have money and be willful.

It's so satisfying to throw money around like that.

Since starting his own business, Li Zekai has finally tasted the benefits of being a member of the Li family for the first time in many years.

With $10 billion in hand, he truly made miracles happen. Wherever he went, he was treated like a god.

"Besides Xiaoshentong, a major VCD manufacturer in Shenzhen, the only company that can challenge its market position is probably Xianke Electronics. Xianke Electronics currently ranks third in market sales, accounting for 17% of the total VCD shipments last month, just below the 19.5% of Huicheng Bubugao New Technology Co., Ltd. Above it is Xiaoshentong, a nationwide VCD hegemon, which accounts for 39.1% of the total VCD shipments nationwide last month."

However, I firmly believe that with the support of our Asian Audiovisual Foundation, Little Prodigy's dominant position will eventually be challenged. At that time, our Asian Audiovisual Foundation will also join forces with more major VCD manufacturers in the industry to jointly formulate industry standards and entry guidelines that are more conducive to the growth of the industry. Please believe that, with everyone's joint witness, that day is not far away.

The investment of Asia Audio-Visual Fund in Xianke Electronics did not cause any ripples.

In addition to Li Zekai delivering a passionate speech at the signing ceremony.

The buzz surrounding Little Prodigy has been completely stolen by the company. In recent days, all the hot news in Shenzhen has revolved around Little Prodigy's Series C financing.

As the largest privately-owned unicorn in Shenzhen, it is undergoing its final test. After weathering the storm, the rainbow will appear. If it passes the test and successfully goes public in the United States, it will definitely create a large number of millionaires and multi-millionaires in a short period of time, which will amaze everyone.

Li Zekai also has his own pace of doing things.

He didn't expect that a mere investment in Xianke Electronics would cause trouble for Xiaoshentong, or even disrupt their Series C funding round.

This is obviously impossible.

Shinco Electronics is still too weak.

“I’m going to Dongguan to meet Duan Yongping of BBK Electronics. The second-largest VCD manufacturer in mainland China must join us. Although he declined my offer over the phone, I believe I can persuade him.”

We've got Xianke Electronics sorted out.

Li Zekai was full of confidence and prepared to continue his efforts by heading north to persuade Duan Yongping, the founder and president of BBK Electronics, who had previously rejected him over the phone.
