Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

"Sicong? Why are you here? I thought it was Brother Chen who came back?"

When Su Chen saw that the person who came in was Sicong, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that the person would be this person.

If Su Chen remembered correctly, after returning to the imperial capital, he did not post on WeChat Moments or talk about this matter in the group. How did Sicong know that I was in the Siheyuan?
Just when Su Chen was still wondering, Sicong's answer gave him the answer.

"Isn't this the final of the LOL summer competition? I followed the club to the capital to have some fun. I happened to be strolling in Shichahai with a few friends today, and I saw Mr. Xiao's car parked at the door, so I guessed you were back!"

When he heard about the LOL summer competition, he remembered that Hou Ting had specifically told him about this matter when they were in Chengdu.

It is said that Sicong's IG club is one of the seeded clubs to win this competition, and there is a great possibility that they will win the first domestic championship trophy of the LOL event. In addition, this competition is held in the Bird's Nest, which can be said to be of extraordinary significance!
"Hou Ting told me about this before, but I forgot about it because I was so busy recently! Let's go in and sit down and talk!"

Su Chen called out to Si Cong and walked towards the central courtyard, but just when they reached the corridor of the central courtyard, a huge shadow rushed out of the room and landed right between Su Chen and Si Cong.

Si Cong, who was walking behind, was so frightened when he saw that the black shadow was actually a white tiger about five or six meters long, especially its big mouth that could swallow him in one bite, that his brain went blank and he stood there in a daze without any reaction.

Hearing the sound, Su Chen turned around and saw Fat Tiger shaking his big head stupidly from side to side, trying to rub against him. Seeing this, Su Chen quickly reached out and held down its big head.

"Fat Tiger, stop messing around! We have guests coming. I'll come over to play with you later!"

While speaking, Su Chen also noticed something strange about Secong and walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

Si Cong came back to his senses and suddenly jumped back, exclaiming: "Fuck, Master Su, this... is this a big tiger? Alive?"

There was a hint of panic in the sound of tearing onions, and the hand pointing at Fat Tiger was still shaking. It was obvious that he was frightened by Fat Tiger's sudden attack just now, and he has not recovered yet.

Fat Tiger seemed to sense Sicong's fear. He tilted his big head, and a hint of doubt flashed in his golden pupils. Then he growled again. Although the sound was not loud, it scared Sicong so much that he took two steps back.

Seeing this, Su Chen patted Fat Tiger's big, fleshy head and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid. This guy is called Fat Tiger. I raised him. He's very docile. How about you try touching him?"

"Docile?" Si Cong's eyes widened, and he pointed at Fat Tiger's sharp fangs, which were longer than his middle finger. "Brother, you call this docile? If it takes a bite, I'm afraid it can swallow me as a snack!"

Fat Tiger seemed to understand what Su Chen said. He swung his two-meter-long tail in dissatisfaction, turned around and slowly walked to the pavilion in the middle courtyard. He sat down and yawned lazily, as if saying to Sicong: "You look so skinny, I'm too lazy to eat you!"

Su Chen patted Sicong's shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be nervous, relax a little. Fat Tiger has become very picky about food. The meat he eats is Engels beef flown in from a livestock farm in New Zealand. Oh, and roasted chicken, too. He really likes it!"

After hearing this, Sicong felt a little more relaxed, but he still stared at Fat Tiger with vigilance. Although he was so famous in the circle of rich second-generations, when it came to raising animals, the most he had adopted was a giant panda in the Chengdu Zoo, and the rest were just furry dogs.

But compared with the Fat Tiger in front of him, they are simply not on the same level.

"Where did you get such a big thing? Can you keep it? Aren't you afraid that it will slip away and cause some bad effects?"

Su Chen shrugged and said, "I got it back from the Russians! I have a farm on the shore of Lake Baikal. I saved it from a bear when I went there to play!"

"At that time, Fat Tiger was already dying and almost died. It took me a lot of effort to save him, and I also saved the two white tiger cubs!"

"The procedures are quite complete, and the breeding is legal and compliant. Plus, Fat Tiger is very human and will not run away from the courtyard."

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, several figures jumped out from the room next to the corridor. The one running in the front was the big orange Yuanbao, and chasing behind it were the little white tiger and the lynx.

When Sicong saw this scene, he smacked his lips. It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.

Think about it, he is a famous rich second generation in the country, and he only has a big dog. Compared with the animals raised by Su Chen, it is at most better than that big orange dog.

He nodded doubtfully, looking at Fat Tiger lying on the ground beside the pavilion. He was relieved to find that he really had no intention of attacking.

Su Chen had been paying attention to the changes in Si Cong's expression. When he saw his brows relax, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. This was the scene he had experienced when Wu Jing came before.

The idea is to let Sicong feel what it means to escape from the tiger's mouth. Let him put his hand into Fat Tiger's mouth, or let him put his head in to feel it.

However, this was just a thought for Su Chen, and he finally suppressed the idea. If he really let Sicong try it, he would probably make several notes about Su Chen in his little notebook.

He was paying attention to Fat Tiger tearing the onions and didn't realize that he had been on the brink of fear several times!
After entering the living room, Su Chen asked Chen Fei to bring two glasses of iced watermelon juice. He drank half of the can of scallions in one breath. Only then did he completely come to his senses and suppress the panic in his heart.

Su Chen picked up the cup and took two sips. Seeing that Sicong's mood was completely stable, he asked, "You didn't come here today just to invite me to watch the LOL finals, did you?"

Sicong had returned to his usual casual demeanor. He put down the cup in his hand, shook his head gently and said, "Not entirely. I just happened to see you at home today, so I thought of coming over to talk to you about him."

Su Chen looked at Sicong with a half-smile on his face. He could tell that Sicong must have other things in mind when he came to see him, but since he didn't mention it on his own initiative, he didn't need to worry about bringing it up.

In case there is something that needs his help, if I take the initiative to bring it up, wouldn't that mean I'm doing him a favor?

No matter how good the relationship between two people is, interpersonal relationships are the best bridge to maintain friendships. If you only give without any reward, even the best friends will have a day when they become cold.

"This Saturday, at the Bird's Nest, our IG will face the European powerhouse FNC. It will be an absolute peak showdown! As a shareholder of the club, Mr. Su, please go to the scene to cheer for the players!" Sicong said to Su Chen with an expectant look.

"Saturday? Today is Thursday, which is the day after tomorrow!" Su Chen calculated his recent schedule in his mind and nodded: "I can just squeeze it out. If it's the weekend, I won't have time!"

When Sicong heard Su Chen's agreement, his eyes lit up immediately, "Really? That's great! I'll reserve the best seat for you, so you can have a great view. This year we have the Shy and Rookie, and we'll be sorry to our fans if we don't win the championship this year!"

As he spoke, Sicong raised his eyebrows and said with a smirk, "If you are interested, I will introduce you to a few beautiful LOL female anchors or commentators to let you feel the heat of the e-sports circle."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately glanced at Si Cong unhappily, "Duck, no need! As long as you like it, I'm not interested in your circle."

No matter it is the anchor circle or the e-sports circle, no matter what the situation is, even if Su Chen has not been exposed to these circles, he has heard a lot of "rumors". Whether the circle is chaotic or not, the female narrate has the final say.

If I had this idea, I might as well call Reba and ask her to come to the capital to talk about how to ride a horse. Why bother looking for those wild flowers on the roadside that have been blown by wind and rain countless times?

Seeing this, Si Cong couldn't help but laugh. He naturally saw Su Chen's speechless look, so he shrugged and said, "Okay, since you don't like it, I won't force it."

Then he changed the subject and his expression became serious, "Actually... I came here today because I want to ask you for help with something!"

Su Chen knew the main event was coming when he heard this, so he put down the cup in his hand, leaned forward slightly, and pretended to listen, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Master Su, this may be a bit presumptuous! Hou Ting called me a few days ago and said that Master Su was going to help us make money. I just wanted to ask about the approximate time so that I could prepare the funds."

After saying that, he was afraid that Su Chen would misunderstand him as the kind of person who could not finish eating or asking for everything, so he quickly explained: "To be honest, some time ago, my live broadcast platform Panda and Digital Company signed a gambling agreement. I didn't expect the other party to use shady tactics behind the scenes, which led to the internal management of Panda Live falling into infighting." "If this continues, not only will my hard work be ruined, but I might even owe a lot of debts. So I thought of taking this opportunity to earn enough funds to see if I can save Panda Live!"

As he spoke, Sicong's expression changed again and again, from anger to disappointment to hope. It was eye-opening to see these expressions on the face of a rich second-generation.

Su Chen did not rush to answer, but was thinking about whether he could take advantage of this opportunity to take over the Panda Live Company, or in other words, to take over the big anchors on the platform.

The live streaming platform is currently at its hottest. Platforms like Dousha, Huya and Panda are all leaders among the live streaming platforms, with monthly turnover exceeding nine figures. It can be said that it is also a good project to make money.

Even Douyin, a short video platform that has just learned to run, has begun to get involved in the live broadcast industry. I heard Zhang Yiming talk about this when I was on the phone with him before.

As long as they control the big anchors on the Panda platform, they already have a large number of fans. If they are promoted within Douyin, they will definitely be more popular than they are now.

Su Chen's fingers tapped on the table subconsciously, making a crisp "dong dong" sound, which made Si Cong beside him slow down his breathing. He knew that Su Chen was analyzing the pros and cons of the matter.

This lasted for about ten seconds. Su Chen paused, turned his head and looked at Si Cong and said, "Making money... is not possible yet. It is estimated that it will take another month or two. I will let you know when the time comes."

"As for your Panda Live platform, it's now being targeted by a digital company. Even if you want to struggle, it's probably useless. As for me... you might as well just get rid of the company and take control of the big anchors under it."

"There's an old saying that goes, 'He who gets the talent gets the future!' As long as those big anchors exist, are you still worried about not being able to make money?"

Sicong was stunned, blinked his eyes, and looked at Su Chen in a daze. A bad thought suddenly came to his mind, "Young Master Su, could it be that you have also set your sights on my Panda Live platform?"

Su Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "What are you thinking? I'm not interested in the Panda Live platform, but..."

He took a sip of the watermelon juice, looked at Sicong meaningfully and said, "If the Panda Live platform is really at the end of its rope, instead of selling it to Digital Company, why not consider transferring the platform's top anchor contract to me!"

"As for the price, you know me, I will definitely not let you suffer a loss!"

Panda Live can be said to be a fish on the chopping board now. No matter how you struggle, it will be of no avail unless other powerful groups move in and calm down the internal conflicts.

But anyone with a discerning eye would not rashly get involved in this mess. If they fail to do well, they will not only fail to make back their investment, but also offend one party.

For the smart people in the business world, this is a very profitable deal no matter how you look at it. Unless you have a brain problem, you will not get involved in it.

The same goes for Su Chen. If he were asked to invest in Panda, that would definitely be impossible. Isn't that simply asking him to offend people? The key point is that it wouldn't benefit him at all.

After all, the cause of this incident was that Sicong was too ambitious. He felt that he could definitely make the Panda Live platform a success, so he signed the gambling agreement.

What Su Chen can do now is to respect other people's choices and resolutely not be a clean slate!
As soon as Su Chen said this, Sicong's brows immediately frowned, and he asked with a puzzled look: "When did Young Master Su become interested in the anchor?"

"It's not me!" Su Chen waved his hand calmly, "You know Zhang Yiming's Douyin, right? They are planning to develop the live broadcast business, and what they lack is an influential anchor!"

"If this deal goes through, you can cash out and disgust the digital company at the same time. Why not do it?"

How could I not know about Douyin and Sicong? With the trend of short videos, they have quickly become the new generation of leaders in the Internet field. If I could cooperate with such companies...

Su Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had an idea in mind. He immediately asked tentatively: "Young Master Su, what do you think if I take the contracts of these top anchors and invest in the Douyin live broadcast platform?"

Su Chen almost vomited blood. I was thinking about how to help you out of this predicament, but you, kid, are now eyeing the food in my pot.

This guy Sicong has a very bad conscience!
"You are dreaming, aren't you? How much are the contracts of your top anchors worth? Do you know how much the company market value of ByteDance, the Douyin platform, is now? You still want to buy shares... Those internationally renowned investment banks are lining up!"

"Huh?" Sicong Ma was stunned. He only knew that the Douyin platform was very popular, but he was not very clear about its specific market value. From what Su Chen meant, the contracts of his top anchors were not at all attractive to others.

Then he asked with a hint of curiosity: "Mr. Su, what is the current market value of ByteDance? Tell me a number so I can give up!"

"Not much..." Su Chen drank a sip of watermelon juice and said lightly: "The current market value is only about 40 to 50 billion. Oh~ the calculation unit is US dollars!"

"Hiss~" Si Cong took a breath of cold air. Forty to fifty billion US dollars? This number refreshed his cognition. He almost spilled the watermelon juice in his hand out of shock.

"This... this is too exaggerated, right? If I remember correctly, the valuation at this time last year was only about 1 billion yuan. In less than a year, it has increased by 40 to 50 times. This increase is too fast!" Sicong asked in disbelief.

Su Chen shrugged. "I don't know the specific situation, but I know that Douyin is very popular now. The number of users has exceeded 100 million. It is said that it has already laid out overseas markets and brought some shock to those foreigners!"

After hearing this, Sicong was instantly deflated and said with a wry smile: "Hey, it seems that a small shrimp like me will not have a chance to get on the table. As for what you said, Young Master Su, about acquiring the live broadcast contract, I will go back and study it carefully."

In fact, Sicong also has some ideas in his mind, that is, he should take down all the top anchors and transform it into a live broadcast union model. With the help of the Douyin live broadcast platform, he will definitely make a lot of money.

But he also understood that if he really did this, he believed that the digital company would immediately sue him for illegally transferring company property. If he failed to handle it well, all his efforts would be in vain.

The two chatted for another half an hour, and then Sicong's phone suddenly rang. The callers were the owners of the clubs he had hung out with before, all of whom were rich second-generations.

I called him just to ask him, isn't the matter done yet?
"It's okay, go ahead and do your work! I just happen to have some things to take care of here. I will go to cheer for those players in advance when the competition starts!" Su Chen heard the noise coming from the other end of the phone and waved his hand with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll leave first! I'll contact you by phone when the time comes!" Sicong stood up, nodded towards Su Chen, and walked outside.

When passing by the pavilion in the middle courtyard, he deliberately lowered his footsteps for fear of attracting Fat Tiger's attention.

Looking at Sicong's departing figure, Su Chen suddenly asked, "A Fei, do you think Sicong will sell the contracts of those top anchors?"

Chen Fei, who had been in a trance, did not react at first when he heard Su Chen's question. But when he saw Su Chen's gaze, he quickly responded, "Mr. Cong is a smart man, he will definitely make the right choice!"

"If he holds on to the Panda Live platform and refuses to let go, he will eventually sink into the bottomless sea of ​​commerce along with the Panda Live platform!"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He didn't expect that Chen Fei had such unique insights.

"It is just as you said. The path has been laid out for him. It all depends on what choice he makes!"

He did not forget that Sicong's idea from the beginning was to use the money-making opportunity he mentioned before to obtain enough funds to fight against the digital company!
But... these have nothing to do with him. It is up to Sicong to decide what choice to make.

Just as Su Chen said before, respect other people's choices and let go of the desire to help others! (End of this chapter)
