Hexagonal God

Chapter 516: Conversation between the Richest Man

Su Mo thought about the acquisition of Era City for a while and decided to start with Lao Wang.

This investment was made by Yida Group, the actual controller is Lao Wang, and Xiao Wang is just an errand boy.

Moreover, given the grudges between Su Mo and Xiao Wang, negotiating with him would definitely be humiliating.

On the other hand, Lao Wang is a pretty good person, and talking with him can be considered a serious business negotiation.

Just do it if you want to. Su Mo called Ye Xiaoxiao.

Ye Xiaoxiao's home is a neighbor of Lao Wang's home in Chengdu. Yida Group and Ye's Longfor Group also have many business dealings. Ye Yucheng can completely act as the middleman.

Su Mo did not talk to Ye Yucheng. His father-in-law had always been brooding over him. If he talked to him, he might take the opportunity to control him. It would be absolutely no problem to leave this matter to Ye Xiaoxiao.

Sure enough, Ye Xiaoxiao was very happy when she received Su Mo's call.

Although the two of them often contacted each other through WeChat, Su Mo rarely took the initiative to call her. This time, he called her and gave her a task. The obedient daughter, who had long been timid, immediately agreed to take the responsibility.

"It's just a simple appointment. I'll talk to my dad right away. Just wait."

Ye Xiaoxiao hung up the phone in a hurry and went straight to find Ye Yucheng.

Ye Yucheng happened to be at home, and he was very happy to see his daughter running to find him.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxiao made a direct request, and Ye Yucheng was stunned for a moment.

"Let me make an appointment? Why didn't Su Mo come to me directly?"

"If I ask you, will you agree immediately?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked back with confidence.

Ye Yucheng was suddenly speechless. If Su Mo called him, he would definitely take the opportunity to make things difficult for him to avenge the fact that he had been outsmarted by Su Mo.

But this kid is too cunning and doesn't give himself this opportunity at all, which makes Ye Yucheng very depressed.

Facing the big eyes staring at his daughter without blinking, and seeing her pitiful expression, Ye Yucheng completely lost his temper.

"Okay, okay, I'll make an appointment for you. Isn't that okay?"

"I knew it, Daddy is the best! Then make an appointment right away, call now."

Ye Yucheng picked up the phone helplessly and talked to Lao Wang.

Lao Wang was quite surprised to hear that Su Mo wanted to meet him, but he was also quite curious about Su Mo, who had suddenly emerged and could now compete with him for the title of the richest man in the country, so he agreed directly.

"Okay, the day after tomorrow. I have time the morning after tomorrow. Let him come to Dalian."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang."

"Mr. Ye, you're welcome."

After finishing the call, Ye Yucheng looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, hoping to get a warm hug from his daughter.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxiao didn't even look at him. She turned around and ran back to her room to inform Su Mo.

Ye Yucheng was completely convinced. His daughter was his Achilles' heel, and Su Mo had her in his grasp.

After Su Mo received the news from his good daughter, he immediately video-called Ye Xiaoxiao on WeChat and praised her highly.

Ye Xiaoxiao listened happily, nodding obediently from time to time, without saying a word, but her meaning was written all over her face.

Say a few more words, praise me more, I can bear it.

Su Mo did not disappoint him. He racked his brains to organize a lot of words of praise and praised him for five minutes before stopping.

"My precious daughter is a beautiful woman with a natural beauty, as stunning as a fairy, with bright eyes and white teeth, a beauty that captivates the whole country. I pity her even the sight of her. She is a delicacy that is delicious, with just the right amount of saltiness, melts in my mouth, and is full of moisture."

Ye Xiaoxiao blushed more and more as she listened, and finally she covered her face shyly, but she was still reluctant to hang up the video.

Su Mo chatted with her patiently for a while, just like coaxing a child, and promised that he would go back to school after finishing this period of work and bring her many delicious foods.

Ye Xiaoxiao has been spoiled since she was a child. She is spoiled by her father and mother, and now by her boyfriend. She has become a completely spoiled and naive girl.

Since she was not short of money, she didn't need much, and Su Mo getting delicious food for her was definitely one of her hobbies.

"Well! Then bring back more and cook me a meal every day. I like your cooking. The food in the school cafeteria is not tasty."

"No problem, wait for me to come back!"

"Well, go ahead and get busy. Come back early."

After finishing the call with Ye Xiaoxiao, Su Mo informed the team that they would go to Dalian tomorrow night.

After another busy day in Shanghai, dealing with company matters, Su Mo took a private plane to Dalian the next night.

Seeing his fat captain, Su Mo actually felt a little used to it.

Being chubby is good, it looks festive. Why make yourself look so handsome for no reason? Are you trying to steal the limelight from me?

The male god doesn’t need a handsome guy by his side.

After staying in Dalian for one night, Su Mo and his party officially arrived at the Yida Group headquarters and visited Lao Wang the next morning.

Old Wang is not as thin as Su Mo remembers now, and his face looks rosy.

He was the richest man last year, and if it weren't for me, he would still be the richest man this year, and even the richest man next year, and he's getting richer and richer. Su Mo took the initiative to shake his hand with the courtesy of a junior. "Hello, Uncle Wang. Your son and I have met many times. I'm very curious about the parents who can raise such an outstanding child. I've wanted to meet Uncle Wang for a long time, and today I finally got my wish."

Lao Wang laughed out loud: "Boy, are you sure you're not mocking me? I know my son has been humiliated by you many times."

Su Mo smiled awkwardly: "The quarrel between young people, I didn't expect it to alarm Uncle Wang."

"Haha! That can't be helped. I only have this one son, so I have to pay more attention to his affairs. But last time, when I got home from that Professor Yang incident, I scolded him severely for hanging out with people who sell out the country's knowledge. If I had more sons, I'd break his legs."

As he spoke, Lao Wang also praised Su Mo a few words.

"I watched the football match you participated in, and it was really exciting to see the Koreans apologize en masse. I used to be involved in football, but I gave up. The depth of the game was one thing, and there were also too few outstanding players in our country, which made it seem hopeless. If you had been on my football team, I would have continued to do it even if I lost money!"

Su Mo also laughed. Old Wang's vision and bearing were indeed much better than his son's, and he was also very principled.

This also gave Su Mo more confidence in today's business negotiations.

In Yida's reception room, both parties sat down as host and guest, and Su Mo stated his purpose directly.

When Lao Wang heard that Su Mo came for the Times City matter in Hengdian, he actually had his own opinion on the matter.

"This is what my son wanted. I thought Hengdian was a high-quality real estate project, so I decided to build one. But the board of directors is a bit out of shape, conservative, and dictatorial. They've ruined the world's largest film and television city. Besides, my son doesn't have much say in the board, so I don't think the project is very interesting."

"If you want to acquire it, it's not impossible. The group is now vigorously developing the real estate industry and needs a lot of working capital. However, that place only has 7 billion at most, which is not enough for our group. Unless..."

Su Mo immediately realized that Lao Wang didn't think much of this business and wanted to sell something else.

What he didn't explain was that this was also a test for himself.

If I could guess what he meant, this matter might be successful.

On the contrary, Lao Wang might simply not sell Times City.

Because this matter itself is dispensable to him. If he and Su Mo don't see eye to eye, it is very likely that they will just not talk about it.

Su Mo's mind raced as he analyzed Lao Wang's mentality at the moment.

Others may not know, but Su Mo knows Yida’s growth trajectory.

Now it is 14, and the real estate industry has begun to show an explosive trend. It will continue to rise in the next few years. Lao Wang has been the richest man for three consecutive years in recent years.

So Lao Wang will not sell the real estate project.

What would it be? A hotel project? Yida Plaza? A cultural tourism project? An overseas project? Or something else?
Su Mo thought about it for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

correct!

Yida Cinemas!

The film and television city project and the cinema chain are the head and tail of an industrial chain.

Filming starts at the film studio and ends with the release in theaters.

Since Lao Wang is no longer interested in the film and television city project, he probably doesn't want to continue with the cinema chain project as a related project.

Speaking of Yida’s cinema chain, Su Mo still has some memories of it.

This is the largest cinema chain in the country. At its peak, it had more than 900 cinemas and approximately 7,000 screens.

In addition, there are more than 60 cinemas in Australia and more than 500 large screens.

All domestic and foreign films are collectively called Yida Films.

The current valuation of Yida Film is not high, around 15 billion.

But in May of next year, that is, one year later, this cinema chain will go public.

At its peak, Yida Film’s valuation once reached 200 billion yuan.

However, Yida later encountered various problems, and its business declined further and further, and the valuation of its cinema chain continued to fall.

By 23, Yida Film's valuation was only over billion yuan, and Lao Wang transferred all his shares.

And the price offered was very low, 54% of the shares were sold to Modu Ruyi for only billion.

Of course, at this time, Lao Wang still held full control of the company because it had not yet gone public.

Su Mo even estimated that at that time, Lao Wang had not thought that Yida Cinema Line would become a hen that lays golden eggs in the future, and he obviously did not pay enough attention to it.

Su Mo didn't know whether his analysis was correct, but he decided to give it a try.

"Uncle Wang, you know that many of my businesses are in the entertainment industry. I acquired Times City to better develop the entertainment industry. Your group has many projects. In fact, I think Yida Cinema Line is more conducive to the development of my business. I wonder if Uncle Wang is willing to give it up?"

Old Wang finally looked at Su Mo in surprise.

Su Mo, this boy, did perform very well, but Lao Wang had seen everything, and those were not enough to impress him.

He just tried it a little bit, but he didn't expect that Su Mo could actually guess what he was thinking.

Lao Wang finally took on a formal negotiation attitude and said to Su Mo, "Young man, you're right. Actually, I'm still unsure whether Yida Cinema Line is for sale. Okay, let me give you one chance to make an offer. Yida Cinema Line plus the Times City project. As long as your price can convince me, I will sell it to you. But remember, you only have one chance."
