My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

"Xiao Mo, are you trying to make me laugh to death?"

"..."

Chapter 776 Xiao Mo, are you being polite?

Lin Mo looked at Lin Xue, whose face was already flushed with laughter, and his brows furrowed with throbbing veins. "Sis, what are you laughing at? Am I not telling the truth?"

"No."

"Why not?"

Lin Mo retorted, unconvinced, "Wasn't Shuangmu Entertainment a relatively new company?"

Lin Xue nodded, "Yes."

Lin Mo continued, "Even if a newly established entertainment company spends a billion to create a variety show, will people believe you? No! People will just think you're bragging. After all, only you know how much money you actually spent."

"In this situation, am I wrong to say that Shuangmu Entertainment can't attract high-quality advertisers?"

"That's right."

"Then why are you laughing?"

"Can't I laugh?"

"Sis, I feel like you're being a little disrespectful to me."

"Hahaha……"

"..."

Lin Mo stared at Lin Xue with a black line on his forehead, gritting his teeth and saying, "Sis, if you weren't a woman, I would definitely beat you up!"

Hearing Lin Mo's harsh words, Lin Xue laughed even harder, and it took more than a minute for her laughter to gradually stop.

Lin Mo twitched the corner of his mouth. "Keep laughing!"

Seeing Lin Mo's indignant expression, Lin Xue shook her head helplessly. "Xiao Mo, it's not that I don't respect you, but what you just said was really funny."

What's so funny?

"Your analysis is correct, but you have overlooked the most important point."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "Which point?"

"With the Lin family backing Shuangmu Entertainment, do you think they can't attract advertisers with the Lin family's influence?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo was instantly stunned.

Yes!

Shuangmu Entertainment is a business owned by the Lin family. Even if it's not well-known, the Lin family is one of the three super-class families and owns several top-tier companies.

Let alone hiring advertisers, the company itself spends a lot of money on advertising every year. Even without external bidding, it can produce and sell its own products internally.

Thinking about it now, I realize I was just laughed at...

That doesn't seem to make no mistake.

Lin Mo blushed and scratched his head awkwardly. "I forgot about that. Okay, I take back what I just said. You didn't disrespect me."

Lin Xue shook her head and chuckled, "Alright, alright, hurry up and tell me your purpose."

Lin Mo clicked his tongue. "Sis, I want an advertising slot on this variety show."

Lin Xue looked puzzled. "What do you need advertising space for?"

Lin Mo didn't hide anything and told everyone everything.

Lin Xue was incredibly surprised, "Portable air conditioners can already be mass-produced?"

"of course."

Lin Mo nodded. "This project was launched a few months ago. The biggest challenge lies in battery technology. With MY battery technology, the project has progressed very quickly, and we have already signed a large number of orders with several precision manufacturing companies."

"How big?"

"Half a million!"

Upon hearing this number, Lin Xue narrowed her eyes and looked Lin Mo up and down. After a while, she exclaimed in admiration, "Xiao Mo, I always thought that your so-called Squid Technology was just for showing off. I never expected that you would actually turn it into a technology company with unlimited potential. Your age and what you are doing are completely mismatched. It's a bit too ahead of its time!"

Lin Mo smiled calmly, "It's alright."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xue finally made a decision, "How about this, we won't put the variety show produced by Shuangmu Entertainment out for tender. Moyu Technology will have exclusive authorization, and all the advertising space will go to your company's portable air conditioners. What do you think?"

"Ah this..."

Lin Mo was taken aback by Lin Xue's suggestion. If the variety show, which cost 1 billion yuan to produce, attracted sponsors, the various exclusive licenses and sponsorship fees could reach at least 1.5 billion yuan, or even 2 billion yuan, if all went smoothly.

That's why he only wanted an advertising space, which normally costs at least 100 million.

But now Lin Xue says she won't solicit business from outsiders and will reserve all advertising space for Moyu Technology's portable air conditioners.

To be honest, this is really a waste!

"Sis, isn't this... a bit inappropriate?"

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xue stood up and patted Lin Mo on the shoulder, "You're only eighteen years old this year, and you've already built such an amazing tech company. As your elder, what's wrong with giving you a little reward?"

"How about this, I'll give you a 90% discount, and you can give me a hundred or two hundred million for advertising."

Lin Mo: "..."

So, you want money back?

While a 90% discount is indeed quite outrageous, the key issue is that Moyu Technology is currently short of funds and cannot afford such a discount!

Noticing the unusual look in Lin Mo's expression, Lin Xue seemed to have guessed something, and a smile flashed in her eyes, "You think it's too expensive? Then let me compromise, how about 0.5% off?"

Lin Mo smiled sheepishly and held up five fingers. "Sister, this is all the advertising budget Moyu Technology has."

Lin Xue was quite helpless. "Fifty million? Fine, we're all on the same side anyway, a token amount will suffice."

"cough--"

Lin Mo hesitated, then said cautiously, "Sister, it's not fifty million, it's five million."

Lin Xue: "..."

five million?

A variety show that cost 1 billion yuan to produce, but all the advertising slots are only worth 5 million yuan?

This kid...

Damn it!

Meeting Lin Xue's murderous gaze, Lin Mo lowered his head guiltily, "This...that..."

Lin Xue's face stiffened. "Don't give me that, Xiao Mo. I feel like you're being disrespectful. Five million? Do you think I'm doing charity?"

Lin Mo said with a bitter face, "Sister, I know I'm being unreasonable, but there's only five million left in the company account. We don't have a single penny more. The company's daily expenses and employee salaries all require money. Actually, if I could, I wouldn't want to give a single penny."

"..."

Hearing this, Lin Xue finally understood and couldn't help but laugh in exasperation at Lin Mo, "So, from the beginning, you never intended to pay?"

Lin Mo shamelessly put his arm around Lin Xue's shoulder and smiled brazenly, "Sister, we're all family. Talking about money among family members hurts our relationship."

Lin Xue slapped the hand off her shoulder in annoyance. "What do you mean 'family'? This is clearly a collaboration between two companies. Don't try to twist my words. How can you not pay? I can ask for less money, but it can't be free."

Lin Mo held up one finger. "How about ten thousand?"

Lin Xue barely suppressed the urge to curse, "Xiao Mo, are you being polite?"

Lin Mo squatted down and hugged Lin Xue's leg. "Sister, I'm begging you, my company really has no money left, at most... 100,000. Please, have mercy and help me out."

This shameless attitude made Lin Xue both helpless and amused. "Fifty million, that's my bottom line. It can't be less than that. Even if you lie on the ground and throw a tantrum today, the advertising fee can't be less than fifty million."

Seeing that this tactic was useless, Lin Mo sighed deeply. As he got up from the ground, he thought of another perfect solution. "I can accept the price of 50 million, but can we pay it off in advance? I will pay it back as soon as the portable air conditioner project becomes profitable."

"IOU?"

"Correct!"

"You big dummy!"

Lin Xue rolled her eyes at Lin Mo, "This kind of cooperation, how can you give an IOU?"

"It didn't happen before, but now it does."

Lin Mo, fully embracing his shamelessness, said, "Thank you, sister. When you get old, I will definitely take good care of you."

"Fuck off!"

Lin Xue laughed and scolded, "I'm only ten years older than you. I'm old, and you're not young either."

Lin Mo smiled ingratiatingly, "Sis, does that mean you've agreed?"

Lin Xue spread her hands, "If I don't agree, you brat, who knows how long you'll keep pestering me. What can I do? I have such a shameless nephew."

"Thank you... Auntie."

Lin Xue frowned at Lin Mo's opportunistic remarks, "Call me 'sister,' 'aunt' sounds grating. I'm only twenty-eight, still a flower in full bloom!"

"Ah, yes, yes."

"..."

Lin Xue kicked Lin Mo and emphasized again, "Call me 'sister'!"

Lin Mo shook her head, "No, I still think it's more appropriate to call you aunt. I'll call you sister. What will the children call you when Xiaoyuer and I have them?"

"This one……"

Unable to find a point of rebuttal, Lin Xue could only compromise, "Then we'll change our address after you, Yu'er, have a child. For now, call me 'sister'!"

"Okay, Auntie."

"Call me 'sister'!"

"No problem, Auntie."

"..."
