The wealthy entrepreneur: I want to support millions of employees!.

Chapter 1123 I'm beautiful? Then why haven't I seen someone lately?
"Let them spend more time together; they should bond!" Su Yang said with a smile, defusing her awkwardness. "Xiao Mi is quite well-behaved!"

"Well-behaved? I feel like it's a little tiger!" Zhang Yu whispered. "It's fierce towards me even in my own home!"

"Haha!" Su Yang placed Xiaomi on the coffee table. "You can pet it!"

"May I?"

"Of course!"

No matter how fierce-looking Xiaomi looks, it's still a cat and doesn't have the same intimidating presence as a small dog.

Encouraged by Su Yang's gaze, Zhang Yu reached out and patted Xiaomi's head.

Xiaomi glanced at her, then turned her head to rub against Su Yang's hand.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Yu laughed happily.

She loves cats very much, and she is happy to be able to pet this fat cat!
The two drank some tea and ate some snacks, and Su Yang also learned about Zhang Yu's situation.

This child is seventeen years old and still in high school.

However, due to family problems, he dropped out of school and went home last year.

Su Yang didn't ask about the specific family problems, nor did he use his mind-reading ability.

As for why Zhang Yu's piano music could be heard next door when Su Yang was practicing the harmonica.

The little girl was extremely frustrated, saying that she couldn't stand Su Yang's off-key and halting harmonica playing in the early stages, so she stepped in to correct him...

Maybe this is just her quirk!

As darkness fell, Zhang Yu, though reluctant to leave, took her leave, and Su Yang escorted her to the villa entrance.

Standing at the villa entrance, Zhang Yu asked softly, "Will you still practice the harmonica in the future?"

Seeing Zhang Yu's expectant yet pitiful eyes, Su Yang's heart softened.
"Yes, and I might also practice other musical instruments!"

He did not stop practicing his instrument, but he treated it as a small hobby, playing it in his spare time and feeling quite good about it!

What else would you like to learn?

"Something like a piano!"

He has a basic skill in piano and can master it quickly.

Zhang Yu lightly tapped the ground with the tip of her slipper: "I can teach you!"

"This...is a bit inconvenient!" Su Yang looked at the beautiful, elfin-like girl in front of him and said with a hint of helplessness, "I can still learn on my own!"

“Then let’s exchange WeChat accounts!” Zhang Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, “If there’s anything you don’t understand, I can teach you on WeChat.”

"This is acceptable!"

Having gained Su Yang's trust, Zhang Yu smiled and waved to Su Yang, then, holding Xiao Bai in her arms, stepped lightly into the villa next door.

Back at the villa, Su Yang sat in the living room, feeling rather bored.

No women will be coming to the villa today; it will be just him.

The main reason is that sometimes he just wants to be alone and give himself some space.

Not long after, he heard piano music coming from next door, including his favorite piece, "Dance of the Flowers".

After thinking for a moment, he went to the music room, took out his harmonica, and followed the tune from next door!

Just as he caught up with the tune, the piano music next door became even more cheerful. Two days later, Luo Hangyi, the vice president of Tencent Investment, contacted Su Yang again.

This time, the discussion was with Su Yang about investing in Xinyun Animation. After thinking about it, Su Yang agreed.

Tencent Investment is interested in Xinyun Animation, Meijia Household Services, Luomi Biotechnology, and Jintai Public Fund.

However, the company with the least dispute over valuation, and the one that Su Yang was most willing to have the other party invest in, was Xinyun Animation!
Su Yang also consulted with Tian Yongming, general manager of Xinyun Animation, and Wei Xiaofang and Gao Zixuan, vice presidents. They were quite happy if Tencent did not interfere with the operation of Xinyun Animation!

Xinyun Animation Production Company is a pure animation production company with quite good technology, but it does not yet have any representative IPs.

Tencent happens to have a large number of existing IPs and controls many channels, including Tencent Video, Bilibili, and so on.

"Ne Zha 2" is still showing in theaters, "Ne Zha 3" seems a long way off, the company has no original works yet, Su Yang is still selecting projects, and Xinyun Animation has some redundant staff.

Su Yang didn't want the company to lay off employees easily. He had talked to many employees of the animation company, and they still had the dream of creating IPs!

Accepting investment from Tencent means that Xinyun Animation will no longer lack business.

The company will have stable business and cash flow, and will also be able to obtain other channels and technical support from Tencent. Even if Xinyun Animation wants to make animated films or games in the future, Tencent can help!

Of course, there are no downsides to accepting investment from Tencent, such as it could affect cooperation with other platforms.

For example, Xinyun Animation may also become just another link in Tencent's ecosystem, gradually losing its original creative capabilities...

However, Xinyun Animation doesn't really have much original content creation ability right now.

Of course, you still have to have dreams!

Given Xinyun Animation's strength, it is certainly qualified to negotiate terms with Tencent Investment.

After all, Xinyun Animation is a long-established animation production company in Fuzhou, and it has participated in the animation production of "Ne Zha 1" and "Ne Zha 2". Its technical strength is widely recognized in the industry!
Although Tencent has a bad reputation among gamers, it still enjoys a good reputation in the investment world.

After reaching an agreement with Luo Hangyi, at the end of June, Luo Hangyi arrived in Fuzhou with the general manager of Guangxi Tengxun Venture Capital and a group of management personnel.

After checking into the Tiancheng International Hotel, they visited Xinyun Animation and were very satisfied with Xinyun Animation's 3D technology capabilities, especially in the rendering of Chinese-style animated films. They believed that Xinyun Animation could make up for the technical shortcomings of Tencent Animation in some aspects!
The two sides gradually began to discuss the investment. Su Yang sent employees from the M&A department to assist Xinyun Animation and also made the company's bottom line clear: Tencent could only make financial investments and could not interfere with the company's strategic decisions. The company's autonomy must still be firmly in his hands.

Late June, Deer Lake Villa.

As soon as Su Yang arrived at the villa, he saw Gu Wanrou sitting on a swing by the lake, gazing at the lake in a daze.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the surface of Deer Lake looks like it has a layer of golden fish scales.

A brilliant sunset is visible in the distance; tomorrow will be another beautiful day!

Gu Wanrou had long hair draped over her shoulders, her facial features were smooth and beautiful, and her eyes held a faint melancholy and absent-mindedness, which complemented the entire environment and created a beautiful picture!
Upon seeing this scene, Su Yang, a professional photographer, couldn't help but take out his phone, mentally compose the shot, and find a good position to take the picture.

After taking four or five photos, Gu Wanrou seemed to hear a noise, turned around and saw Su Yang squatting on the ground taking pictures...

"what are you doing?"

"do not move!"

"Ok?"

"Alright!" Su Yang put away his phone and looked at the sunset in the distance. "It's done, it's pretty!"

"What's beautiful?"

"The sunset is beautiful, but you are even more beautiful!"

Gu Wanrou couldn't help but purse her lips, but the smile on her lips gradually disappeared:

"I'm pretty? Then why haven't I seen someone lately..."
