Just as he was lost in thought, Qian Xining stepped forward.

She warmly took Song Yuting's hand and introduced the two of them:

"Cousin, this is my friend, Cao Kun."

Cao Kun, this is my cousin, Song Yuting, the heiress of the Song family in Shanghai.

Song Yuting's beautiful eyes flickered, and she looked at Cao Kun with a hint of a smile, her tone teasing:

"Xi Ning, your relationship with this Mr. Cao is probably more than just 'friends,' isn't it?"

Qian Xining blushed slightly and shyly took her hand, acting coquettishly.

"Oh dear, sister~ what nonsense are you talking about~"

With a polite smile on her face, Song Yuting extended her hand to Cao Kun and greeted him with great poise and grace:

"Mr. Cao, I have long admired your name. Meeting you today, I can confirm your extraordinary demeanor."

Cao Kun reached out and shook her hand, responding humbly:

"Miss Song, you flatter me. I'm just a small business owner in Changteng, nothing special."

The moment their hands met, Cao Kun felt a warm, smooth, and boneless sensation in his palms, which stirred his heart.

However, he was very tactful and politely parted ways after a brief touch.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Cao Kun didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point:

"Miss Song, to be honest, besides paying a special visit, I mainly want to discuss a business deal with you today."

"Oh?"

Song Yuting's beautiful eyes flickered with curiosity as she softly asked, "What would Mr. Cao like to discuss?"

Cao Kun looked at her and slowly said, "It's about KK Live."

Currently, I have acquired 35% of the shares in KK Live.

But I need absolute say in the company's plans.

In order to gain complete control of KK Live, I hope Ms. Song can relinquish her stake.

"Transfer your 20% stake to me."

Song Yuting smiled slightly and politely declined.

"Mr. Cao, I'm very sorry, but I have no plans to sell my KK Live shares at the moment."

"KK Live's headquarters are located in Shanghai. They were discovered by my company, Genting Capital."

At that time, I only spent five million to acquire 20% of the shares.

Although KK Live currently faces competition from four major platforms and its valuation is relatively low,

But now the value of my shares has exceeded 500 million, and I am very optimistic about its future potential.

Song Yuting then changed the subject and proposed a new idea to Cao Kun.

"However, we don't need to be enemies, do we?"

Her tone was gentle, yet it conveyed an undeniable firmness.

"Mr. Cao already owns 35 percent of the shares, and I own 20 percent."

Our collaboration will give us a combined 55% equity stake, which is enough to give us firm control over KK Live.

"My core interest lies in taking KK Live to a higher level and realizing capital appreciation."

Your core interest lies in the content integration of Kunlun Media.

As long as I lead this project, I can protect your interests regarding the content to the greatest extent possible.

We share the same goal; joining forces is the best option.

Cao Kun was slightly taken aback, and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect Miss Song to even know about my Kunlun Media?"

Song Yuting smiled smugly:

"Since I'm meeting you today, I naturally need to do some preparation beforehand."

I have seen your company's series of actions in promoting Liu Peipei.

It's practically a textbook example of marketing.

It must be said that Mr. Cao's company has truly skilled professionals in communications.

Upon hearing this, Cao Kun couldn't help but think more highly of Song Yuting.

This woman has a keen eye; she is adept at resolving conflicts and knows how to appreciate the strengths of her opponents.

At the same time, she is extremely determined and is clearly the kind of person who, once she sets her mind on a goal, will achieve it.

"What benefits would I gain from this cooperation?" Cao Kun asked calmly.

Song Yuting was well-prepared for this and confidently stated:

"My proposal is that we both use our respective shares to jointly establish a new holding company."

This will give me full ownership of KK Live, and I will lead the operation of this new company.

Of course, I know that Mr. Cao holds a higher percentage of shares, so it would be unreasonable for you to relinquish control.

Therefore, as compensation and a gesture of goodwill, my company, Genting Capital, will inject one billion in cash into the new company.

At this point, she leaned forward slightly, her tone resolute:

"This 1 billion yuan will be used entirely for KK Live's equipment upgrades, staff recruitment, and market expansion."

With this injection of funds, I am confident that KK Live will rise rapidly in the shortest possible time and sweep the market.

Cao Kun pondered for a moment, secretly making plans in his mind.

This proposal is indeed in his best interest.

A billion-dollar investment is a significant sum that will put KK Live on the fast track to development.

More importantly, Song Yuting possesses a destiny of "accumulating wealth."

If she were in charge, this investment might generate value far exceeding expectations.

Having thought this through, Cao Kun no longer hesitated and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Song Yuting gave a professional smile: "As for the name of the new company..."

Cao Kun interrupted her directly, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Let's call this new company Kunlun Entertainment."

Song Yuting opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything.

She had originally intended to suggest changing the company name to be jointly owned by the two companies.

But since Cao Kun had spoken up, she didn't need to argue over such a trivial matter.

From this simple naming dispute, she experienced for the first time the domineering nature hidden beneath Cao Kun's gentle exterior.

Once the matter was settled, the atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed.

Just then, a soft, rhythmic knocking sounded on the door.

An elderly butler, dressed in a tailcoat and with his hair neatly combed, pushed open the door to the reception room.

He bowed slightly and respectfully reported:

"Miss, lunch is ready."

Song Yuting stood up, her face beaming with a warm and welcoming smile.

He gestured to Cao Kun to invite him to join him.

"Now that we've finished discussing business, Mr. Cao, if you don't mind, why don't you stay and try our home-cooked meal?"

"I am naturally delighted to accept Miss Song's kind invitation."

Cao Kun smiled and nodded in agreement.

During the meal, the three chatted as they ate, and the conversation naturally turned to the upcoming charity auction in Shanghai.

Qian Xining put down her silver chopsticks, blinked her big eyes at Cao Kun, and asked:

"Cao Kun, is there anything at this auction that you particularly like?"

Before Cao Kun could answer, she explained with considerable pride:

"My cousin's family was one of the organizers of this auction."

If you see anything you like, as long as the other major families aren't after it, your cousin can easily intercept it for you.

Upon hearing this, Cao Kun asked in return with great interest:

"What if other powerful families also have their eyes on it?"

Qian Xining stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly:

"Well, there's nothing we can do then. We'll just have to compete fairly at the auction and rely on our own abilities."
