While the two were teasing each other, Li Rouhe called.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the Yunbin board meeting should have just ended. Lai Yang gave Qianying a look, walked to the corridor, squatted down, lit a cigarette and answered the call.
"Laiyang? I don't have time to meet today. I have to organize the meeting report later. Let's talk on the phone first."
"Let's chat."
After saying that, Li Rouhe paused for a few seconds and said with a smile: "You are the one who wants to talk to me, don't you ask questions?"
"Uh... I... don't know how to start. I just want to ask about Yu Ke Group's investment."
Li Rouhe's laughter gradually stopped, and after a few seconds she lowered her voice and said.
"I can't tell you too much about the company's internal affairs, but... what I can say is that the shareholders have already discussed and agreed that Yu Ke will invest in Yun Bin, and the signing ceremony will be held in the next few days."
She let out a long "hmm" and sighed, "In this way, President Yu and President Tian will definitely be tied even tighter. This tightness is not just emotional, to put it bluntly... it's..."
"You've got your life and property tied together, right?" Lai Yang interrupted.
"Well, I can't say that, but it is certain that we all prosper together and suffer together."
The smoke that Lai Yang inhaled seemed to condense into a fog, blocking his heart and lungs, making it difficult for him to breathe.
There is no need to guess, the person who made this decision must be Tian Jing's father.
He once abandoned his mother Tianjing for fame and fortune, and now for Yunbin, he doesn't care about his relationship with Tianjing at all.
If it were someone else, Lai Yang would definitely point at his nose and scold him, but the other person is still Tian Jing's father, so he can only swallow his anger.
After licking his lips, Lai Yang asked: "Then... do you think that the advantage I once had, that sincerity, does it still have an advantage now?"
Li Rouhe hesitated, although she encouraged Lai Yang to keep going before hanging up the phone.
But one can tell from her tone that she is not as optimistic about herself as she was at first, which shows that the impact of the merger of the two companies is greater than she imagined.
Lai Yang felt sad. If his relationship with Tian Jing had ended in Zhoushan, he wouldn't have been so depressed when hearing the news.
But now I have fallen into her tenderness...
How could he accept the ending of the story, which was separation
…
After returning to the room, everyone was still discussing the development of the theater. Gao Yunjian was also very talkative today, constantly expressing his views on the theater.
and suggestions.
Lai Yang sat back at the table, took a few quick bites of rice, put down his chopsticks and looked at Gao Yunjian.
"Mr. Gao, if you want to invest in us, how much do you plan to contribute? What percentage do you plan to contribute?"
Such a straightforward statement caught everyone off guard.
The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes moved on the two of them.
After taking a sip of wine, Gao Yunjian looked directly at Lai Yang and raised three fingers.
"Three million. I roughly calculated that your total cost from opening the theater to exploring school-enterprise cooperation should not exceed one million."
He looked at Qianying: "But after nearly three years of accumulation, operation, and content creation, I estimate that the value will not exceed one million. This additional one million is the total income for the next six months based on your current operating model."
Gao Yunjian looked around at everyone and then looked at Laiyang.
"So, taking all costs and future revenues into consideration, three million is your total valuation."
"So you mean that all our shares together are worth three million." Lai Yang smiled.
"No, you still have these excellent actors, and the cost of the actors' value is not included here; so I will invest 3 million, and take 40%, and you can take out 1 million of it and divide it directly, I have no objection."
Song Wen and Hu Zi's eyes widened a little.
But Lai Yang just tore open a can of beer, drank it in big gulps, wiped the corner of his mouth and said.
"Twenty percent, this is the highest ratio we can dilute, and I hope that these shares will be registered under Qianying's name. If Mr. Gao can accept this, we can discuss further. Otherwise... I'm very sorry."
Gao Yunjian raised one corner of his mouth and snorted, "Three million for 20%, Laiyang, do you think it's appropriate?"
"Mr. Gao just made a very detailed calculation, but you forgot to calculate two things. First, I have my own resources for publicity. I am a variety show director recommended by Sister Wei from Zhoushan. Once the online publicity starts, the club's valuation will immediately rise. By then, 20% of the three million may not be enough. Second, Mr. Gao should also know Ms. Tian. If I am simply short of money, I can ask her for a loan."
Laiyang speaks very harshly!
This is a skill I have acquired through countless negotiations over the past few years.
Although he also wanted Gao Yunjian to invest, he also wanted to build his business quickly and make Tian's father look at him with admiration.
But the more times like this, the more we need to be able to calm down.
You have to keep your composure and be strong, otherwise you will easily be looked down upon.
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere seemed to freeze. Only the steam from the hot pot was bubbling out, and all other sounds seemed to be eliminated.
Everyone looked left and right with their eyes wide open.
After lasting nearly half a minute, Gao Yunjian leaned back.
"If that's the case, we have to write it clearly in the contract. You must be able to cooperate with the director you mentioned to promote the theater or actors within three months at the latest."
Gao Yunjian put his hands on the table, rubbing a corner of the tissue in his hand, thinking for a few seconds before continuing.
"I agree to 20% if that's the case. As for investing in Qianying's name..."
At this moment, he suddenly held Qianying's hand gently, turned his head and said with affection in his eyes: "Originally, it was because of you that I decided to invest, and... Taking advantage of what happened today, I also have something to say to everyone."
He looked at everyone, took a breath and said, "Qianying and I decided to be together last night. From now on, we will be a family. I hope everyone can bless us."
“Wow!”
Jiaqi suddenly slammed the table, and Laiyang was so scared that he almost fell to the ground.
"Okay, okay, I found out that I am your lucky star. Brother met me in Zhoushan Laiyang, and then he got together with Sister Tianjing. As soon as I arrived today, this brother who looks older than us is also together with Sister Qianying!"
Gao Yunjian was stunned for a second, then everyone burst into laughter and sent their blessings.
Only Yunlu said nothing and looked a little depressed.
"Sister Yunlu, are you feeling unwell?" Qianying asked curiously.
Yunlu raised his eyes and forced a smile: "No, I'm fine. I wish you all the best, Qianying. I just... thought of Sister Sheng. She seems to be the unhappiest person here."
"Xiaolu, what are you talking about? Sister Sheng is fine, don't say anything nonsense."
Song Wen quickly tried to smooth things over, and everyone followed suit by avoiding the topic and continuing to delve into the matter of cooperation.
But Lai Yang felt as if his heart was cut by a sharp knife. It didn't hurt at first, but after a few seconds, the dull pain disappeared.
But he quickly put his thoughts aside and continued to discuss the details of the cooperation with Gao Yunjian.
When the conversation was almost over, he checked his phone and saw that Tian Jing had sent him a WeChat message half an hour ago with just one simple sentence.
Will you come in the evening? My father went to Suzhou.
